Although many people did not agree with that crazy plan, the leader of the Red Scorpion Chapter still insisted on executing it. After being ready, the loyalist assault fleet jumped into the physical space of the Badab Galaxy, from the vertical position of the entire galaxy plane. From above, he pounced directly on Badab No. 6. This fleet consisted of no less than 6 Space Marine battle barges and 9 assault cruisers, as well as 6 Imperial Navy battleships, a large ship of the Adeptus Mechanicus and 84 other smaller ships as its vanguard. It was the "King of the Birds", and what it was dragging was a burning star fragment that was torn off from the Sorrowful Star Falls (actually, I don't quite understand it either).
When Badab's war machine finally reacted and prepared to attack, they were unable to prevent what was going to happen next. The heavy and huge "King of Raptors" raised its main engine to its highest output, and soon reached At top speed, it fought hard against the inertia of the star fragments, and finally threw them away. Then the ball of hellfire went straight towards the Sigma node, while the Loyalist fleet launched a spearhead attack formation at a safe distance behind. .
Unable to escape from the path of the star fragments, all defensive weapons within the range of the defense line soon opened fire. However, due to being dazzled by the light of this terrifying new star that was rushing towards the node, "Steel" The ring's weapons couldn't even aim at the target, and then the terrifying energy washed through the void shield, paralyzing the node without directly destroying it, and the landing craft following the debris brought the Death Angel to the key control of the Ring of Steel. In the center, Badab No. 6 fell.
Now, Helbrecht only used six battleships to capture it. It can be seen that the Ring of Steel is no longer what it used to be, but from another perspective, even the remaining parts of the former Ring of Steel are still powerful.
Reaching out to take the data pad handed over by his assistant, Helbricht looked at the data with a critical eye.
The casualties are not large, which also means that there are not many enemies left behind. The current number of enemies annihilated is only six to seven hundred Chaos Space Marines. It seems that there are only such a few defenders at such a critical node. The firepower of various equipment is also very weak, and post-war inspections found that most of the armories are basically empty or have very little inventory.
Either the commander is a negligent idiot, or the other party deliberately abandoned this place.
Obviously, the traitor named Honso belongs to the latter.
So there won't be any joy in defeating Badab No. 6 Herb Reichert.
Suddenly, Helbricht felt something pass through his heart, as if invisible claws were gently scratching the curtain, and at the same time, all communication equipment erupted into a brief noise.
"Report immediately what's going on."
Soon, he received a message from the navigator. Just now, an unknown subspace force erupted from a distance. Its impact was so great that some weak navigators and astropath apprentices fainted, while those with strong strength... Amid the waves, I saw a scene of hell where demons were rampant.
Herbrecht immediately ordered the fleet to conduct a reconnaissance.
A few hours later, the reconnaissance fleet sent a message and reported shocking news.
The planet Secundus, which is in the secondary stage of the plan, has been captured by the power of subspace and turned into a demonic world!
So Helbrecht immediately summoned the commanders of each battle group to hold an emergency meeting.
Soon, Malakin, Layinfu, Costas (Star Phantom Chapter Commander) and others arrived on the Obsidian Throne, but the second theater commander Samuel was nowhere to be seen. Costas He just explained that Grand Instructor Crow Wing had other important matters to deal with, and no one else asked any more questions.
Helbrecht had dealt with the Dark Angels and their sub-groups and knew what they were always hunting. However, the first Supreme Marshal of the Black Templars, Sigismund, had issued a gag order that prohibited the Black Templars from going there. The ban on asking and investigating the Dark Angels has continued to this day, so he didn't say anything.
"This is what the reconnaissance fleet captured."
In the dim conference room, Helbrecht turned on a projector, and then a colorful picture appeared.
It was a light shot, pointed directly into the void, where there were many asteroids, each of which appeared to have runes and imprints carved into the rocky surface.
In the asteroid belt, there is also a crystal cloud hanging in the void, like hundreds of millions of broken mirrors. The crystal fragments reflect crazy colors and bizarre scenery, and surrounded by the crystal cloud and the asteroid belt Among them, there was a blood-red planet. As everyone stared at the planet, a huge, bloodshot eye opened on the surface, like a tick buried on the surface of the planet. Its size was shocking.
Just as the first eye opened, more eyes opened one after another on those asteroid fragments, staring at each one as if through a lens.
Then the camera began to shake, as if the ship was taking risks and continued to move forward. The crystal fragments were closer, and you could even see the twisted demonic face blooming in the crystal, like a ghost in a nightmare flickering on the silver-white surface, staring hungrily. Look at the lens and the soul inside.
Then bright metal rings and rows of giant cannons came into view. They saw those huge weapons, installed on slowly rotating steel rings. Each one was a galaxy-level defensive weapon, but part of the metal structure, Including the giant array of ancient artillery, all twisted by demons.
Seeing the weapons begin to adjust, the camera immediately began to move back, and Helbreich also turned off the projector.
"For these ten minutes of footage, a frigate and all the crew were paid. It was hard-won."
When the lights lit up the entire conference room, Malakin frowned slightly and said:
"Secundus wasn't like this before, was it? I don't remember that it was protected by an asteroid belt."
"It certainly wasn't like that before we got here."
Recalling the scene just now, La Yinfu said with disgust:
"Witchcraft, heretics have used witchcraft to turn this world into a demonic planet. We should implement the extermination order."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Secundes' defense system still exists, and the long-range extermination order will be intercepted. Not to mention the interference of demons. Now it's difficult for ships to approach the planet."
"Ignore him for now?"
Costas tentatively put forward his own suggestions.
"At present, the impact of subspace is not great, and demons cannot travel long distances through the void. It will not be too late to deal with it after Badab Prime is solved."
"I'm afraid it's unrealistic. Secundus' weapon array contains some of the galaxy-level defense weapons of the Ring of Steel. Its coverage can reach half of the galaxy, and the main star of Badab is within its range."
"There is such a thing, then..."
"Let's put it over there and talk about this first."
Helbricht clicked his finger lightly, and a line of clear data immediately popped up on the monitor on the desktop.
