Chapter 272 I will come back again!
an hour ago.

In the blackness of space, an elegant and deadly spaceship glides through the shadow of a meteorite ring.

The hull is slender, the bow is sharp, and the jagged, scimitar-shaped solar sail is gracefully unfolded, soaring from the finely forged engine at the stern, connecting the engine and the bow is a slender hemispherical command post.

Evil Gaze class light cruiser.

A warship belonging to the Dark Eldar.

The slender, pale-skinned man with pointed ears stood up from the captain's seat and strode towards the main screen. Although his skin was slack and there was a double-edged ax hanging on his shoulders, his movements were as light as a dancer's.

Mica Steel Blade, the weapon of Mandrake of the Dark Eldar.

His close-fitting, paneled green armor shone like polished jade, his lifeless white hair, streaked with violet, fell over his shoulders, and a crimson circle rested between his brows. ring.

Ghost Plate, armor of the Dark Eldar Archons.

He picked up a small sprayer and sprayed out a fine mist of water to moisten his eyes with the lids cut off, and then leaned over to study the data displayed on the screen.

"Argent, the prey is within range of the weapon."

said his deputy in a low voice.

"Excellent." The Eldar captain said with a smile, "Calibrate mimetic engine, pulse lance ready."

The Eldar captain licked his withered lips, thirty thousand kilometers, this killing was so close to them, one could almost imagine the wonderful taste of the blood of the space warriors on the tip of his tongue.

"The mimetic engine completes the simulation, and the simulation targets are the Human Empire's Obscure Star Field Navy Fleet, the Defender-class escort cruiser, the Braveheart, and the Archon."

"It doesn't matter what target is simulated, it just needs to give us the opportunity at that moment."

The Eldar captain firmly believes that the key to hunting is not the stamina competition in the early stage, but the throat-cutting blow at the critical moment-and the mimicry engine is the auxiliary tool for making this critical blow.

"Target close to lance range, Archon."

The captain of the Eldar tribe bit the tip of his tongue with his teeth, savoring the unspeakable sting and fishy smell of blood, the joy of pain made him tremble almost uncontrollably.

Well, very well, the silly monkeys took the bait, they thought this battleship was their own.

The Eldar captain has already begun to imagine, if he brings a Goliath-class factory ship back to the Comoros and transforms it into a great and cruel arena, or an amusement park for the Haemonculus, will it be possible to make the Dark Land The city's dignitaries are crazy about it?Can you win their favor?
Crouching next to the captain's chair is a twisted and grotesque creature, which looks like a mixture of a white-haired orangutan and a pig-faced bat. It seems to have felt the excitement of its master, and its six eyes blinked and blinked. , opened the gap to reveal yellow teeth, and let out a mocking and ugly malicious roar.

Talon Horror, a pet kept by the Dark Eldar.

"Transfer the main power to the lance battery and keep the backup. I hope the first time will be the coup de grace."

The Eldar captain ordered.

"As you order, Consul."

Enemy ships were still too far away to see through the viewing screens, but close enough for the pulse lances characteristic of Eldar warships.

When he saw that the human battleship suddenly began to raise the void shield vigilantly, the Eldar captain ordered without hesitation:
"Fire!"

……

After the castle master's shield array was shattered, the remaining potential of the pulse light spear also gradually weakened. A few meters thick fine gold armor plate peeled off from the hull of the Suzheng, peeling off layer by layer like exposed tendons, and the remaining damage Parts hang limply.

The alarm sounded throughout the entire bridge, and the support structure of the battleship was equipped with a rib-shaped support force field. Everyone on the bridge only felt a slight shaking, and then stabilized their figures.

"The void shield is overloaded, and the hull of the seventh to ninth deck is cracked."

The deck officer immediately reported the damage:

"The bow light spear is temporarily offline, and the main launch bay has suffered a certain impact. We are lucky, Khan, the last aftermath only scratched us."

Fu Qinghai did not ask how long it would take for the Void Shield to recover, but directly ordered:
"Adjust the direction of the battleship, and lock them with the light spear!"

The thinker connects and mobilizes the various facilities of the battleship, and the gyro stabilization matrix adjusts the balance and direction. With the help of these two relic technologies, the Suzheng, a behemoth, can quickly adjust the orientation of the ship's bow, and put the most macro artillery array and light spear fort. That side was aimed at the enemy.

However, the naval officer in charge of operating the detection array brought bad news:

"We...we can't lock them down, Khan!"

His tone was anxious and his face was full of sweat. He seemed to have never encountered such a situation before, let alone a powerful warship equipped with multiple detection arrays like an Emperor-class battleship.

He was obviously under attack, but he wanted to fight back but found that the weapon could not be aimed at the opponent's position accurately.

Until now, Fu Qinghai had completely confirmed it.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"The Eldar, the fucking Eldar!"

The three symbols of the Eldar battleship: solar sail, mimic engine and holographic force field.

The mimetic engine doesn't know what technical principle it is based on. It can camouflage the warship signals of any other race camp, including the Human Empire, Orcs, Space Necrons, and Tyranids, but it is said that the latter two can see through them at a glance.

The holographic force field is a very advanced compound invisibility force field, which can not only make the Eldar warships "visually invisible", but also shield most of the detection methods of the human empire.

When he heard that a destroyed Imperial Navy battleship reappeared, Fu Qinghai felt a warning sign, and he thought of the unique mimetic engine of the Eldar. When his subordinates reported that the detection array could not lock on the opponent, Fu Qinghai was 100 % sure - definitely the Eldar battleship!
"Do not worry."

Fu Qinghai comforted his subordinates first, and then resolutely ordered:

"Macro guns and torpedoes, salvo in that direction, sublight engines at full speed, we must get close to them."

The helmsman officer shouted:

"Start the thrusters, and target the new heading of zero five four."

The bridge became busy again, Fu Qinghai said:

"As long as we get close enough, we don't even need to aim at them. The Eldar battleships are all crispy sampans. They can't even take a single shot. As long as the holographic force field is hit by us, these aliens can only flee. .”

Fu Qinghai's composure brought the crew out of the unknown fear of alien technology, and the macro cannon quickly spewed out a series of shells in the direction of the pulse light spear, forming a dense barrage of giant shells.

Then he issued a second order:

"Riema, maneuver towards the enemy at full speed, launch torpedoes, and assume a jumping posture!"

Qiao Shida was taken aback when he heard the words, and reminded:
"Khan, the Space Marines of the Brotherhood are currently scattered across several captured warships."

"I know."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:
"Just put on a jumping pose."

Fu Qinghai turned to look at the people in the bridge:
"No one in this universe wants to fight Space Marines, and neither do Necrons and Tyranids."

The tone is full of strong confidence.

Joe Star asked suspiciously:

"What are Tyranids, Khan?"

"Well... you will know each other later."

Fu Qinghai's pretense failed, so he had to make amends.

……

Evil Gaze class light cruiser.

The Eldar captain observed the human warship on the screen in front of him. At the last moment when the pulse light spear was launched, the enemy suddenly raised the void shield, which was beyond his expectation.

But that's it.

He thought to himself.

The silly monkeys must have been taken aback by the sudden light spear attack. According to the usual thinking, when they find that their weapons cannot be aimed at and lock on to the enemy, their first choice must be to retreat, stay away from the source of the attack, and then use the vast space to re-open. Adjust the fighting situation.

However, this fell right into the arms of the Eldar battleship.

All Eldar battleships have extremely high speeds, and the Dark Eldar has inherited most of the technological heritage of the Eldar Empire. Dark matter weapons are one of them. Cruisers have the confidence to challenge battleships.

The Eldar warships used their superior speed to maintain a perfect and appropriate distance, circled around this clumsy human warship, flew kites, constantly drained their energy and courage, let them fire blindly, and finally... delivered a fatal blow !
The human battleship quickly adjusted its direction. The hit part of the hull looked like an ugly scar. The Eldar captain suddenly noticed——it was getting closer!The void shields of the human warships have not been restarted, yet they dare to get closer to themselves?

"damn it……"

The Eldar captain cursed angrily.

Someone on that ship must have known what they were capable of.

"Bow torpedoes ready to fire, Archon."

There is good news from my subordinates.

"Launch all!"

The Eldar captain hurriedly screamed:
"Fire! Fire!"

……

"A torpedo strike, Khan!"

A naval officer warned loudly.

Fu Qinghai put both hands in front of the console, and said in a deep voice:
"Stop restarting the void shield, inject all the energy into the sub-light speed engine, turn the rudder to the left, maneuver and evade!"

Stop rebooting Voidshield?
Qiao Shida and the others were taken aback when they heard the words.

Yes, in the face of a torpedo attack, even if the void shield is restarted, it is useless-but this is too bold.

"Confirm, four torpedoes, bearing [-], Khan!"

"The macro cannon keeps firing!"

One torpedo was shot down by the macro gun, and the other was guided to other directions by the jamming system.

"Two torpedoes break through, Khan!"

The subordinate shouted in a hurry.

"Close defense turret ready."

Fu Qinghai said in a deep voice.

As the battleship maneuvered to the left in a wide range, the entire bridge shook violently, and everyone reached out to grab the edge of the console to maintain their stability.

"Enter the range of the close defense turret!"

The huge observation dome showed the dark expanse of space, the icy trail of the incoming torpedo was clearly visible, and the entire bridge crew could see the torpedo racing towards them, and everyone felt that the attack was imminent.

The crew held their breath, or whispered a prayer to the Emperor.

One near-defense turret is controlled by a servitor alone. The servitor is equipped with an independent augury and contemplator, which enables it to track and aim when the torpedo approaches. All the near-defense turrets on this side are focusing on the torpedo. Thousands of shells blasted into the torpedo in an instant, and finally shot it down within a range of less than 1000 meters. The two torpedoes disintegrated in the barrage of high-speed artillery fire.

However, the burning fragments and large wreckage produced by the explosion were still rolling and moving, crashing heavily into the hull, destroying a defensive turret, tearing apart several survey antennas, and finally shattering the composite armor made of adamantine.

Su Zhenghao's body shook heavily.

"call……"

Everyone on the bridge heaved a sigh of relief.

"Where is our counterattack?"

Fu Qinghai was not immersed in the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He put his hands on the table, looked ahead, and asked loudly.

"Light spear ready to charge, Khan!"

……

The Eldar captain could not believe his eyes.

The torpedo was shattered!

When he was thinking about all this, the bridge suddenly tilted and shook violently, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground. The huge vibration caused by the nearby explosion made the whole ship shake violently, the lights kept flickering, and the smashed machinery Smoke billowed out.

"Argent, we've been hit!"

shouted his deputy.

"Oh yes, thank you for your insight."

The man from the Spirit Race grinned his teeth and said with a sneer:
"If one day I die, please shout out loudly, just like now. How serious is our loss?"

"The holographic force field has lost its effect."

"Mainsail damaged, guy line disconnected."

"The integrity of the lower deck hull is missing, and some slaves and prisoners have lost signs of life."

Bad news came one after another.

The Eldar captain knew that the battle was over.

The Eldar battleships don't have void shields, nor do they have the thick adamantine composite armor of human battleships. Once they lose the protection of the holographic force field, they can easily become the focus of the enemy's artillery.

It turned out that the prey was indeed worth it, and he would not underestimate this enemy any longer.

"Retreat!" the Eldar captain ordered:

"Go back to the lair and repair the ship. This prey will have to wait until it reaches its mouth. Brave and lowly monkey...Damn it, curse these shameful souls!"

……

"The Eldar battleship has retreated!"

a crew member yelled.

"Slow down."

Fu Qinghai said calmly.

It is definitely impossible to catch up.

The Aeldari are a race known for their speed, and the concepts of agility and speed permeate all of their war thinking, from individual combat to vehicles and battleships.

The White Scars are already the fastest legion in the Human Empire, otherwise Jaghatai Khan would not have led his team to chase the Dark Eldar into the Webway, but it has to be admitted that even the White Scars are not as fast as the Eldar.

If you have to say it, the inertial engine of the necromancer warship can be faster than the Eldar warship.

This is also where the human empire was passive in the face of the Dark Eldar. The Ark Eldar generally would not take the initiative to provoke the empire, but the Comorian conspiracy often came to the empire to plunder the population as slaves.

Both kinds of Eldar have the ability to use the webway to shuttle, the entrance of the webway is hidden, and the Eldar are elusive.Either fight or run, the initiative is in their hands, and the imperial navy is often very passive.

That's why someone proposed such a thing as an invincible high-speed battleship in order to catch up with the battleships of the Dark Eldar.

"Khan, I received a strange message."

"put."

A fuzzy and flickering holographic projection appeared above the screen. It was a middle-aged Eldar man with a slender figure and a sullen complexion. He said in a hoarse and vicious voice:

"I remember your battleship, White Scar, when I return to the City of Darkness, I will lead a more powerful fleet to your homeland, the 'Yashan Star District' that humans call, just wait, I will use thousands of Ten thousand times the pain and torture, to wash away today's shame!"

With a "click", the holographic projection went out.

　According to the rules in the game "Gothic Fleet", the Dark Eldar does not have solar sails, but in the original novel, the battleships of the Dark Eldar are exactly the same as those of the Ark Eldar. This book uses the original novel as the main setting basis, so... …
