Just when the destroyer's targeting system was seriously disturbed, a huge demon circled around and appeared in front of the ship. Perhaps out of the hunter's arrogance, or perhaps because it wanted to launch a massacre in a more courageous way, the demon rushed straight towards the ship. Bridge, burning eyes gleaming, battle ax blazing in hand.
Balladur's face was tense. If conventional methods could not hurt his opponent, then he had another option.
Overload the subspace engine and send the opponent back to that damn hell.
At this moment, huge energy impacted the demon from behind, causing the bloodthirsty demon to scream with hatred, and one of its wings was shattered.
The black mist suddenly parted, and a gray war eagle flew through it.
After receiving the warning that the Red Pirates were using asteroid fragments to release the power of subspace, Soshyan immediately put the Silent Goshawk Wing from Reza into battle and sent the battleship Alloy Truth from the Angstrom fleet. Go to support.
"Fire!"
Seeing that the demon was injured, Balladur made a quick decision and shot two beams of light from the front of the destroyer, hitting the bloodthirsty demon who was unable to dodge.
Watching the demon's howling face gradually disappear, the old captain grinned. This was the most valuable gain in his life. Even if he was to retire soon, he would have enough to talk about these experiences with his descendants.
The Silent Goshawks continued to streak through the black mist at high speed. Demons dispersed wherever they went, and then anti-psychic missiles were fired at the rock fragments engraved with huge subspace symbols.
But as a star fortress, the Blessing Barrier is a simple airport. It also has no considerable combat effectiveness. Huge amounts of beams and artillery shells are fired from the densely packed turrets underneath it, attacking the Red Pirates' assault fleet in retreat. In an instant, one heavy cruiser was destroyed and several were damaged.
Sure enough, soon there was an explosion from the end of the flight deck, followed by a knocking sound from the end of the concave blocking gate.
Bahram only commands about 80 new Space Marine recruits, but also commands more than 30,000 skitarii and armed servitors, as well as 500 combat droids of various types.
At this time, the flight deck was still in operation, throwing the reloaded Starhawk bombers into the void. Bahram believed that the enemy would definitely land through the flight entrance, because the airlock door was relatively thin and strong, and it could not immediately paralyze the entire aircraft. flight deck.
But the red pirates became extremely determined at this time. We started to attack the star fortress, pouring all our firepower on it, including the powerful but very precious whirlpool torpedoes.
The battlefield became very chaotic, the firepower of light spears and macro cannons filled the void, and fighter planes surrounded the Red Pirates' fleet like swarms, using their small bodies to block them from launching torpedoes and landing craft carrying deadly cargo.
Since the manpower is light, the Space Marines are assigned to key positions. A small part of the defense of the Star Fortress is taken care of by Skitarii and battle droids, using the defense facilities inside the Star Fortress to fight against these heretics who jump to gangs.
There is no benefit, since the flight deck is covered and blocked, and intruders will be directly exposed to firepower.
Considering that I was facing a small number of Chaos Space Marines that time, Bahram not only took out my own plasma pistol, but also took a cold melt pistol from the armory and stuck it under my calf. , and my power sword is in my hand.
Listening to the subtle roar coming from the thick wall, Bahram tightened his grip on the plasma gun. Weapons like those outside the special war group often need to be obtained from the armory before achieving meritorious deeds, but in the Astral Knights, the armory is basically It is semi-open. As long as it is a generally valuable weapon, the technical sergeants specifically allow the soldiers to choose the equipment they want.
Although it temporarily suppressed the Red Pirates' attempt to release subspace power in the naval battle, it also weakened Soshyan's already small military strength. Amidst the violent firestorm, the Red Pirates' assault fleet still rushed out. In the distance, the artillery formation led by Huron was also retreating to intercept the fleet of the Mechanicus, and also allocated its strength to attack Soshyan from a distance.
Even Zhufu, who presided over the assault, made a very crazy decision. I sent my mortal followers of Khorne to control more than a dozen pirate plunder ships, killed these pirate captains, and then let these ships commit suicide. The impact crashed into the Imperial warships protecting the starfort, forcing us to divert our firepower to the closer threat.
With the overwhelming momentum of nearly dying together, the Red Pirates' best gang-hopping combat finally came to play its role for the first time. At this time, inside the Blessing Barrier, waiting for the Red Pirates' gang-hopping troops were the prepared skitarii. and over four hundred Imperial Space Marines.
There is no doubt that in order to reduce the frequency of air strikes by Imperial fighter planes and obtain a stable advance/support channel, the Red Pirates' jumping gang will give priority to attacking transportation facilities such as flight decks or transmission platforms. Therefore, those two places Defense is also a top priority.
The 10th Company was assigned to Area C, which is a large and small area that includes two flight runways, a rail transit hub, eight ammunition storage facilities, four living areas, and 14 weapons command stations. In order to minimize the defense of the area In the area, Armin divided the ten companies into eight parts. He led 32 people to defend the flight deck numbered 11, Bahram led 30 people to defend the flight deck numbered 12, and Jacob led the remaining 35 people to defend the rail transit. Hub, and be ready for support or respond to emergencies at any time, and leave complex matters to the reserve team.
But Bahram felt that the other party would be so stupid. Breaking through the airlock and running straight through the blocking gate, there was a small chance that he would retreat through the maintenance channels and transportation channels to the left and right of the blocking gate. After all, space warriors cannot use magnetic locks to walk in the void, but mortals But what can be done is that the Red Corsairs will only use Chaos Space Marines to join the gang. If we bring a small number of cultists and slaves to attract firepower for us.
It was the first time that I independently commanded such a small armed force. Jin Bihaomu knew that he still lacked much experience, so he mainly "cooperated" with these ruling sages and the priests who accompanied the army. The two parties formed a joint command mechanism, only in the most important situations. The decision is made by me alone.
If the Red Pirates are slow to break through, they will definitely take care of everything. Therefore, Bahram concentrated a small number of troops in front of the seventh blocking gate.
All the firepower was absorbed by the void shield of the star fort, but before the vortex torpedo was detonated, the torn subspace vortex also completely broke through the void shield of the star fort that was not yet crumbling. When the huge crack appeared, countless torpedoes jumped The landing craft and even the teleportation beam were aimed at the blessing barrier.
The enemy hasn't arrived yet.
Very slowly, the roar inside was mixed with ordinary screams. Bahram was very vague. It was the retrograde sound of the landing craft.
The Red Pirates endured huge casualties, and before sacrificing a small number of large ships, the battleships and cruisers got close to what we thought was a sufficient distance, and then headed straight for the Blessing Barrier without a round of torpedoes.
In response to strong requests from readers, there will be an additional update tomorrow!
