Warhammer: I don't want to be a stinky can! ! !

Chapter 676 124. Bad Taste

"It's a pity that Lao Mo is still on the road."

Hades raised his hand and made a meaningless gesture of looking into the distance, looking into the distance with a dark and empty face. Frost climbed up the silver-white metal beside the hole on his face. The scorching light of the stars behind him passed through the armor, outlining his figure dazzlingly.

The blessing from the fleet last time allowed him to adapt to facing the void, and his physical strength was sufficient to allow him to be directly exposed in space and move freely.

The ships arriving at superluminal speed were not exposed. This small fleet was commanded entirely by the Emperor's will - and judging by the posture of these ships, it seemed that the Emperor could not wait to take down the Eldar.

The Eldar fleet pierced into the Empire's territory like a spike. Due to the nature of their ships, these fleets that preferred plunder expanded the territory they occupied to an unimaginable range in a short period of time.

On the star map, the charming purple color of the Slaanesh Eldar has penetrated into the Isaniad sector. The Eldar are not inclined to occupy the territory directly - they are more like herders in the sea of ​​stars, wantonly plundering the fleets of the Empire that take off.

But this time... the heavy cavalry from the Empire had already ambushed them on their hunting path.

Judging from the battlefront situation, this time the Eldar are very likely to attack a food supply and escape team that was jointly set out by Poland and Pastoral Song - Castellan, which is in front of these two agricultural planets, has already fallen.

The greedy Slaanesh Eldar will not let go of this piece of fat meat.

Hades was silent as he floated in front of the stars, sometimes turning himself upside down to allow for better observation - his back warmed by the sun.

He was silent, waiting, holding his breath.

Before launching the attack, the Eldar fleet was completely invisible. The aliens abandoned the void shield and used the omnidirectional stance to confuse the enemy, just like they used on the infantry.

Pushing stealth and agility to the limit comes at the cost of a lack of defense.

There was nothing wrong with this plundering race. After they filled their warehouses with gold coins and souls, they left immediately.

Even if they encounter a large fleet of ships from another race, the Eldar can simply choose to flee - their stealth and agility mean they are extremely difficult to capture.

This is like two extremes on a seesaw. Compared with the Eldar, the human empire in the past paid more attention to defense and stacking armor, with thicker adamantine rams and more efficient void shields...

But things are different now.

Hades could already sense the Lord of Mankind's eagerness to try.

In order to communicate, the Emperor released some of his psychic energy and deployed it around Hades. That small amount of golden psychic energy was now shining with joy, as if it was looking forward to, or even gloating over, the scene that would appear next.

"Don't be happy too early."

Hades muttered softly, although he also believed that the next battle would be a crushing defeat. In the face of superluminal speed, the Lord of Mankind abandoned his bottom line. Among these ships burning with golden flames, there were actually quite a few ships that were completely taken over by the Nirvana system.

In other words, there is not a single human being on it, not even a human soul. After all, the Emperor's Demon Army is small in number - many heroes have been intercepted by Makado.

"If the battle situation is too complicated, I don't think the Nirvana system carried by the fleet will have enough computing power."

Hades said, as if talking to himself, he continued to examine the star field in front of him. Between the stars, the void was very quiet, with only cargo fleets and light cruisers from two agricultural planets sailing slowly.

+You don't understand psionics. +
"Then let's see how far psychic power can go."

Hades said, his tone slowing down,
"x46900, y54700, z92400; x56900, y84700, z62400. At least twenty-four battleship-sized ships, and... visually estimated to be over one hundred and ninety light cruisers, over three hundred frigates - % of the fleet's ships are in the form of Dark Eldar and Eldar pirates, and the rest are miscellaneous."

"so much?"

Hades muttered to himself, the reported attacks by Eldar ships elsewhere on the battle line had not decreased, proving that this group had just emerged from the Webway.

Hades had reason to believe that Slaanesh could extract more ships from the Webway.

Even though the Eldar are known for having a small number of ships, with all their assets exposed by the Dark Prince, it will only be a matter of time before the Empire faces an Eldar navy that far outnumbers their own ships.

This is not good news. The pressure on the sea will be very great, and due to the particularity of the void, the influence of a single unit on the battle situation cannot play a decisive role.

"Slaanesh plans to further attack the Isaniad sector?"

As expected, there is an Eldar expedition world in the Isaniad Sector that was burned by Malcador.

The Emperor's psionic energy beside him did not answer. A ray of golden light penetrated from the void from afar and fell into Hades' empty face.

At the end of Hades' sight, he saw a corner of that strange ship, burning with the flame of fanaticism and faith.

The war horses crushed the nebula, and the dazzling platinum flames fluttered by inertia. The blood-red tail flames swayed, unfolding a fluttering flag of light.

Hades seemed to hear the Emperor's unbridled laughter in his ears - it seemed that the Lord of Mankind had been waiting for this day for too long. Superluminal speed is the dream of all living things, and it is a romance unique to time and space.

Maybe the Lord of Mankind just thought this was cool.

The extremely thick refined gold horns flashed with the light of the eternal sun. With a speed that was definitely not in its appearance, the warhorse carrying the heavily armored knight leaped up. The spear in the knight's hand was shining at this moment, flashing with bloodthirsty frenzy.

Above the cruisers and battleships, the bells of the stacked churches rang together. Every swing of the bells created layers of golden ripples in the dark galaxy, singing a hymn of loyalty and faith.

The team of paladins, wearing heavy platinum armor and flaming war horses, strode forward, and the huge and magnificent warships passed by the already stunned agricultural planet cargo fleet without stopping and without a single shift in their eyes.

The humans on the cargo fleet had already crowded into the portholes, staring in amazement and trembling as they knelt down and prayed in the direction where the flames were leaving.

"x47100, y54900, z93400; x57900, y86000, z62400."

Hades continued, even though the distance between them was far enough, Hades could still feel that hot and pure power, which was not weak. On the contrary, it was filled with a warlike frenzy.

Perhaps the Eldar fleet would find them ridiculous, Hades thought, the Empire's fleet was now like a giant running at high speed. From a common sense perspective, the huge speed and mass would bring unimaginable inertia.

But - the reason why the Necrons' engine is so important is because the Necrons have solved the problem of inertia. If the speed is simply increased, it is not very difficult to achieve this with the Empire's traditional strength and flying bricks.

The real point of fighting is always to hit.

It seemed that the Lord of Mankind did not want to quickly expose his lack of inertia. The side guns on the battleship were adjusting their angles, and Hades saw the light of the first wave of torpedoes.

From the perspective of others, this imperial fleet suddenly appeared and began to fire at the side star field in front of it.

But in Hades' sight, he saw the Eldar warships that had dodged. Those illusory and indistinguishable alien ships scattered nimbly. Hades thought they were ready to retreat, and the solar sails of the Eldar pirates had been deflected to the maximum extent.

"Strange, weird."

In the command room of the Nether Battleship, the Eldar captain sucking the lavender gas said, staring at the enemy ships on the star map with confused eyes, even though the golden flames on it made his eyes feel stinging - but all this had no deterrent effect at all. They can hide - or the other side hopes to use the pseudo-emperor spirit in the subspace to "trap" them.

This further confused the Eldar. They were told that the dead existed in this star region, but what they were greeted with now were not those dark and silent giants, but a group of ships that were showing off their might, with almost every deck shining with golden light.

This proved one thing - the Lord of Mankind was not as limited as he appeared, and this cruel and greedy tyrant also joined the war in another way.

In the distance... Slaanesh in Commorron roared and moaned uneasily. He felt angry, as if he was deceived by the previous appearance of the Lord of Mankind.

On the largest battleship, on the towering bell tower, an illusory figure seemed to appear next to the swinging bell.

+Purify the unclean.+
The distant roar sounded like the cry of an ancient giant whale, mixed in with the layers of ringing bells. The burning flames seemed to be roaring at this moment. Hades saw a little bit of light that almost penetrated the dark void. It was a sign that the engine was working at full power.

Between the flames and the steel structure, the equally burning figures of Space Marines stood in the middle. On the leading light cruiser, the Weeping, Garo raised the sword at his waist.

"Everyone, listen up, turn left."

He said.

Under the steel, at the intersection of cables and solder, the will of Nirvana is running rapidly. The Lord of Medusa, the truth underneath, is silent. Numbers are pouring down like a waterfall from the sky. Right and wrong are intertwined. Programs are also running wildly, and radio waves are spreading like a raging fire.

"For the Emperor!!!"

It was simply a miracle.

No, that's a miracle.

The Eldar crew saw the huge, bulky Imperial ship, like an elephant, suddenly turn in an unimaginable way, so fast that it seemed almost like a flash, and the warship completed the turn of its bow in an instant -

This is a level that even gods find difficult to achieve.

Then, the beast turned around and charged straight towards them!

"..."

The bright light reflected on Hades's metal face. He stared at the battlefield. The shattered wreckage of the Eldar warships was thrown into the void by the shock wave, circling like bullets and piercing into other ships.
Some fragments hit the Imperial ships, but were blocked by the thick armor; some fragments pierced their owners, and for a moment, the wounded Eldar ships revealed themselves.

"Bad taste."

Hades commented as he watched the Imperial fleet rampage through the Eldar warships like an elephant among an ant colony.

The first round of torpedoes was just a cover, or perhaps the Lord of Humanity simply wanted this war to be more entertaining to watch. Next to the human ships that had given up using torpedoes and light spears, the torpedoes that had just been fired exploded one after another, adding a magnificent red-orange light to this one-sided massacre.

Yes, the Lord of Mankind chose to use the refined gold to ram the horns directly...ram.

It's such a bad taste.

Hades thought that if it were him, he might fight in a conventional way, meaning with the highest efficiency and lowest energy consumption.

But perhaps this will be beneficial to the psychic recovery of the Lord of Mankind, and Hades chose to respect the Emperor's way of fighting - perhaps the Lord of Mankind has been imprisoned on the Golden Throne for too long, and the Emperor urgently needs some ways to relieve stress.

The Eldar warships, which were one to two sizes smaller than the Imperial warships, were directly cut off by the blade-like ramming horns. In the face of absolute speed and defense, the spirit bones seemed like some kind of easily broken and brittle material. This reminded Hades of bird bones. In order to fly, birds evolved hollow skeletons, which made them vulnerable.

In front of the battleships that were equally large as the Imperial warships, the Imperial knights stabbed their spears into the enemy's vital points, and flames instantly rose along the contact surface of the two ships, successfully setting the Eldar warships on fire!

Hades seemed to hear the wailing of the elves among the golden flames.

"The protection of warships is not perfect. Severe collisions can also damage them, Lord of Humanity."

Hades reminded, continuing to report the coordinates of the next Eldar fleet's retreat.

+Living Metal.+
The Emperor also reminded Hades that the new batch of ships were all equipped with living metal by Hades, which meant that the ships had self-repair capabilities, and as long as the complex internal structures were not affected, external scratches and collisions would recover quickly.

"..."

Hades was speechless, he had deployed the living metal in case of more urgent situations, not to allow the Lord of Mankind to wantonly smash his enemies with ships - but, well, he was keeping it a secret.

Hades seems to understand engineers who see users developing amazing uses for their products.

"You continue."

Hades uttered these words and decided not to mess with this old lunatic who lost his mind while sitting on the toilet.

He raised his hand. Behind the battlefield, on the command platform and command screen in the distant cargo fleet, garbled characters suddenly flashed, and then the fleet began to automatically split up.

Afterwards, several larger pieces of Eldar warship wreckage passed through the split fleet at extremely high speed.

Hades put down his hand and handed the command back to the trembling captain. He accidentally scared the astropath and stargazer on the cargo fleet unconscious. He hoped they were okay.

The slaughter in the distance was also coming to an end. The wreckage of the Slaanesh Eldar warships was scattered in various airspaces, and only a few dozen surviving frigates and small boats were left.

Because of their small size, they were ignored in the recent massacre. Now the yellow foxes are patiently and tirelessly crushing them with battleships until they scream in the dark starry sky, emit a small flash of light, and die completely.

Hades focused his vision and saw a large number of small strips spewing out from the broken mouth of the battleship - ah, those are the Eldar.

Hades suddenly understood why the Emperor was called the Fifth Evil God by other races.

"...the Eldar fleet is huge,"

Hades said silently,

"I hope that next time you—"

+I will.+
The cheerful voice said with certainty that Hades thought this statement was a lie, so he continued, but was interrupted again.

"real--"

+I will.+
"..."
