Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector
Chapter 180: Boarding Battle
"The only explanation for this situation is that the defenders of Cadia have already started a war with the Chaos Demons!"
"This is a long-planned conspiracy!" The eyes of the Rear Admiral revealed a hint of solemnity, "The only thing we can do now... is to offer our loyalty to the Emperor with our flesh and blood.
"Before the last naval battleship sinks, the Imperial Navy will guard the outer orbit of Cadia... No Chaos battleship can launch an attack on the surface of the planet under our noses! "
The entire command cabin was filled with a solemn atmosphere because of the admiral's declaration.
At this moment, in the cold void tens of thousands of kilometers away from the fleet... a subspace rift suddenly opened up, connecting to the sea of souls.
Accompanied by some suffocating strange roars, some inhuman roars and roars were heard from the depths of the subspace rift.
The auspicious instruments and divination arrays on the naval warships simultaneously detected the power of chaos.
Almost instantly, the Overlord-class heavy cruiser, which had been in service for more than two thousand years, sounded a disturbing alarm.
The servitor placed in the battleship's command cabin started up automatically, and the brass vocal cords continued to emit harsh noises.
"Warning, warning! An ion reactor spectrum appeared three thousand kilometers ahead of the fleet. Battleship commander, please respond quickly. "
"Please respond quickly, battleship commander!"
"Ion reactor spectrum? "The Rear Admiral was slightly stunned, and then a hint of understanding flashed across his solemn face.
From the Warp rifts throughout the Cadian Gate, and the reaction speed of the Chaos Demons and the Betrayer... the Betrayer entrenched in the depths of the Eye of Terror has been planning this war for at least decades.
The Demon Primarchs have made such a big scene, of course they will do everything they can to ensure that their conspiracy and this war are foolproof.
The surface of the fortress world Cadia has long been covered with Chaos power. Although there are still millions of loyalists holding on to it... it is still a long way from being completely destroyed. It's just a matter of time.
In addition to the threat of the loyalists on the surface of the planet, the Imperial fleet that did not suffer much damage in the first wave of the Warp Storm is naturally another great destabilizing factor.
And the demon primarchs will not tolerate any destabilizing factors that interfere with the outcome of this war.
The Plague Fleet that exudes stench and various viruses, the Thousand Sons Fleet with bloody pupils, the Emperor's Children Fleet with twisted tentacles, and the Iron Warriors Fleet covered with traces of erosion and pollution.
Except for the World Eaters and the Word Bearers who were almost annihilated in the Battle of Macragge, almost all the enemies in the Battle of Horus are still alive. The traitor legions who betrayed the glory of the throne in the chaos... all threw themselves into this grand battle that could affect the future of the empire.
Although the naval fleet has been greatly increased in the past century, facing the Chaos Fleet blessed by the gods... the chances of the Imperial Navy winning are still extremely slim.
In terms of quantity, the naval fleet also has no advantage at all.
Although the Imperial Regent has greatly strengthened the defense force of the fortress world Cadia after entering Terra.
However, the firepower of the Imperial fleet stationed outside the fortress world Cadia is at most the scale of three naval fortresses.
Such a level of firepower is enough Resisting the attack of a traitorous legion head-on.
But facing the mixed fleet composed of several traitorous legions, the loyal Imperial Navy still did not have much resistance.
In order to extinguish the resistance forces on the orbit of Cadia as quickly as possible, the fallen Chaos fleet almost exhausted all its strength.
At this moment, the Chaos fleet gathered outside the fortress world Cadia... its number is even comparable to the siege of Terra in the past!
The Rear Admiral stood in front of the porthole of the battleship command cabin, looking at the Chaos fleet that was gathering with an extremely solemn look.
"It seems that the damn traitors intend to destroy us!" The corners of the Rear Admiral's mouth pulled out a smile, but his sky-blue pupils... at this moment revealed a murderous intent as cold as a blade.
This is an inevitable war! ! !
Even though they knew that the hope of winning was slim, the loyal navy soldiers still chose to use their lives... to offer their final loyalty to the Emperor.
"All battleships! Enter combat posture!!! "The rear admiral's cold command echoed in the fleet's communication frequency band.
Following the will of the fleet commander, the huge naval fleet instantly entered a state of full-power operation like a precision machine.
The laser and light spear arrays mounted on the side of the warship began to charge, and the mechanical arms up to tens of meters high hoisted huge brass shells... and slowly filled them into the warship's ammunition bay.
The national priest in a white robe imprinted the mark of purity in his hand on the shells, and the hunchbacked mechanical priest chanted obscure binary prayers... praising the great machine soul of the warship.
Almost in an instant, a surging murderous atmosphere emanated from the imperial fleet!
"Since those damned Chaos Demons dared to attack us, they must be prepared to be annihilated! Loyal imperial warriors, may our souls stand beside the throne. "
The admiral's impassioned words echoed through the warship's communication frequency in every warship of the huge fleet...
Faced with the undisguised malice of the Sea of Souls, every Imperial warrior was filled with incomparable anger and fighting spirit.
To completely destroy this war-motivated Imperial fleet, the despicable betrayer will pay an unimaginable price for it.
To cope with the upcoming war, the ion reactors of each warship have entered an overload state.
In the energy pipelines connected to the ion reactors, liquid energy that is almost condensed into substance is surging.
Under the supply of massive energy, the void shield generator placed in the middle of the warship began to emit a harsh roar.
Following the will of the rear admiral, the void shield generator, which has been improved twice by the Imperial Research Institute and the Mechanicus, has entered an overload state.
In just a few seconds, the void shield emitting a lavender light has already wrapped the entire Imperial fleet.
Every crew member has entered their respective positions according to the original plan, even though they know that this war is a life-or-death battle... but they are ready to face death and fall.
When the Chaos Fleet, which exuded a blasphemous atmosphere, arrived at the attack range of the Imperial Fleet, the face of the Rear Admiral sitting in the command cabin revealed a trace of frightening hideousness.
"All warships, fire freely! Let the surging judgment from the Emperor fall on these damned traitors! For the great Emperor, for the survival of mankind in this cold galaxy..."
Accompanied by the slightly hoarse roar of the Rear Admiral, the huge Imperial Fleet turned itself into a war machine in a very short time.
Countless macro cannons, light spears and torpedoes flew out of the launch cabin.
The shining tail flames intertwined and gathered in the cold galaxy, forming a gorgeous scene full of death...
The dark and crazy galaxy was lit up by endless light at this moment! ! !
The Thinker system on the warship kept calculating the trajectory of the artillery fire. While dodging the artillery fire from the Chaos warship... The Thinker system was also constantly correcting the trajectory of its own ballistics.
After a moment of silence, the brass shells branded with the emblem of purity fiercely bombarded the blasphemous Chaos warships...
Each Chaos warship once carried the glory of humanity and the Empire.
The void shield generator that can create a protective field is naturally equipped on the Chaos warships that once belonged to the Empire.
After being blessed by the Chaos Gods, the void shields of Chaos warships have become more powerful.
Facing the surging artillery fire from the Imperial Navy, the Chaos warships exuding blasphemous breath did not even have the slightest intention of dodging.
The terrifying artillery fire that was enough to destroy a continent bombarded the Chaos warships, but could only splash a tiny ripple on the void shields of these betrayers...
The first round of artillery bombardment from the Imperial Fleet soon fell into silence.
When the flash and smoke caused by the explosion gradually dissipated, the Chaos Fleet suffered only a tiny amount of damage!!
The commander of the Black Legion in charge of commanding the Chaos Fleet showed a hideous smile.
The Empire's turn has ended, and now... it's the Chaos Fleet's turn to launch a counterattack.
Accompanied by the Chaos believers' extremely blasphemous roars and war cries, the huge Chaos Fleet began to roar like a giant beast awakening from slumber.
The flesh and blood torpedoes surging with the power of Chaos were ejected from the launch bay, and the light spears filled with filthy breath drew a misunderstood arc of light... and rushed towards the Imperial Fleet at an extremely terrifying speed.
At this moment, the impression of the Imperial Fleet by the betrayers who fell into Chaos... still remained at the stage of decay and weakness several centuries ago.
According to the calculation of the [Chaos Intelligence], this round of artillery fire from the Chaos Fleet was enough to paralyze more than half of the Imperial warships.
But when the artillery fire emitting the breath of Chaos approached the Imperial Fleet, the scene before them... shocked the betrayers on the spot.
The Chaos artillery fire emitting the filthy breath did not even have time to approach the Imperial warships! It was torn into pieces by the defensive firepower gushing out from all parts of the warships.
Even if a small part of the artillery fire managed to break through the blockade of defensive firepower, they could not splash even the slightest ripple on the void shield.
Although the Chaos fleet did not use all its strength in this round of artillery fire, the scene before their eyes... still made the blasphemous betrayers begin to doubt the firepower of their warships.
According to this degree of estimation, even if the Chaos fleet poured out all its firepower... it would not be enough to cause fatal damage to the Imperial fleet in a short time.
But for the blasphemous betrayers, occupying the fortress world Cadia as quickly as possible is the top priority of all tasks.
The betrayers who believe in the Chaos Gods will exhaust all their strength to fulfill the great will of the Chaos Gods...
In the face of such a situation, a [Boarding Battle] will be enough to change the stalemate.
From the magnificent Great Crusade to this desperate and crazy 40k, an extremely dark and long ten thousand years have passed...
Ten thousand years is enough to make this galaxy undergo earth-shaking changes.
The ancient human empire also slowly fell into a darkness filled with corruption and ignorance from the beautiful era of believing in the [Imperial Truth].
But in the long ten thousand years, the Astartes still loved to use the ancient boarding tactics...
When encountering problems related to large-scale team building, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a [boarding battle]...
If there is, then let's have another one!!!
Under the deliberate guidance of the Imperial Regent, the Imperial Navy stationed at the Cadian Gate defense line has an extremely superior firepower configuration.
But its only flaw is that there are not enough Astartes for shipboard protection...
In front of the Chaos Space Marines blessed by the gods, even the elite of the Astra Militarum wearing exoskeleton power armor... are as fragile as newborn babies.
In most cases, naval battles with an advantage often fall into the danger of failure or destruction due to the enemy's boarding...
Just when the navy soldiers were eager to fight because of the first round of defense, they were in the formation of the [Iron Warriors] fleet.
The captain of the Eighth Company of the Iron Warriors, [Lord of Iron] Parvis Owenskell, was looking at the Imperial Fleet in the distance with a malicious look.
Unlike other traitors who embraced the power of Chaos, the traitors of the [Iron Warriors] Legion did not have too obvious mutations.
If it weren't for the eight-pointed star rune branded on their faces, it would be hard to imagine that these [Angels of Death] have embraced the power of Chaos.
Of course, the lack of significant mutations does not mean that the energy of the warp will not affect the fallen [Iron Warriors].
On the contrary, due to certain characteristics of their own gene seeds, most Iron Warriors' bodies are extremely friendly to the blasphemous Chaos.
Whenever the disgusting flesh and blood mutations grow out of their bodies, the Iron Warriors who are keen on transforming themselves will perform a surgical operation to remove the severely mutated parts.
After that, the missing parts of the body will be replaced by mechanical structures blessed by Chaos.
Although the process of transforming flesh and blood into machines is a bit blasphemous, the fallen Iron Warriors never get tired of it.
It is for this reason that among a group of Chaos Space Marines with strange appearances, the Iron Warriors are the most normal in appearance.
Even today, thousands of years later, every Astartes among the Iron Warriors is still a master of siege warfare.
And breaking through the tortoise-shell defense of the Imperial Fleet is, in a sense, also a kind of siege warfare.
Therefore, the Lord of Iron planned to lead the Iron Warriors... to launch a massive boarding mission towards the location of the Imperial Fleet.
