Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Faced with the proposal put forward by the great sage of the Voss Gothic Forge, even the usually calm Commodore Perru could not help but be moved.

Having been the captain of the Indefatigable for more than 20 years, who would not want this old partner to regain vitality and become more powerful?

"But the scale of such a reconstruction is probably not small. How long will it take?"

"If it is just a major overhaul, the damage of the Indefatigable will take five or six years, but if it is a reconstruction, many parts will only be replaced without repair, which will take less time. Perhaps it will reappear in the void in less than three years."

The old man's words sound incredible, but he seems very confident.

"Then, will her machine soul be changed?'

"Don't worry, the blessed machine soul is sacred and inviolable. This is the bottom line of any mechanical order.

The machine soul of the Indefatigable will not only not be reset, but will become more powerful in this round of tempering. "

Commodore Peru pursed his lips and took a long breath.

"Since you are so confident, as long as Admiral Venuska Catalia approves, I will not object, and the rest is up to you."

"We will discuss the reconstruction of the Indefatigable with the Lord Admiral, so don't worry."

Commodore Peru nodded and looked at Horatio.

"Young man, the Indefatigable is a great warship, isn't it?"

"Of course, sir, she is perfect."

Commodore Peru looked at the scarred and respectable old lady reluctantly.

"For more than 20 years, the Indefatigable has not undergone such a major overhaul, but the old one does not go and the new one does not come. Perhaps,

it's time for her to welcome a new captain."

"What do you mean---?" Horatio seemed to realize something.

"Next, I will accept the promotion certificate of Rear Admiral from the Navy Department. In addition, I think with your ability and talent, when the Indefatigable is repaired and sails out of the Gothic orbital dock, you will definitely be an outstanding naval captain or even a commodore.

At that time, I will formally recommend you to serve as the captain of the Imperial-class Indefatigable battlecruiser. "

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I will fulfill my duties and live up to your expectations." Horatio hurriedly stood at attention and saluted,

his heart was pounding.

Which man can refuse a big ship and a big gun girl?

"I completely believe in you."

Then, the commodore looked at the old man:

"What is the new war creation you mentioned before? A new carrier-based aircraft? Or a new battleship? "

A mechanical tentacle like a spirit snake emerged from under the old man's holy robe, and a focusing probe opened at the end. A bright green light pointed directly at a row of tightly packed ships parked on the track.

Horatio looked at it carefully.

Hiss, it looks familiar, not sure, let's take another look.

After several looks.

This slender ship with a length of about 1.2 kilometers, a very low front projection like a dinner knife, and as many as four torpedo silos are surprisingly arranged on the bow.

There is also the simple, narrow and high, but not too high Romanesque church bridge, with a width of just over 100 meters and a streamlined belly.

When a ship looks like a submarine and has all the characteristics of a submarine, it is a submarine, an oversized void submarine.

"This is the crystallization of our latest technology. Let's call it the 'E-type attack ship'. Its function is to make up for the attack ships and assault ships that have been missing in the fleet system of the Imperial Navy since the Great Rebellion ten thousand years ago. "

"She is beautiful. "Horatio couldn't help but admire.

"We think so too. When we found this STC, we were all fascinated by this graceful hull." The old man admired the taste of the young captain and praised.

"Does she have the ability to navigate in the subspace?"

"The one you are seeing now does not have it for the time being, because her compatibility with the existing Geller force field generator has yet to be tested. We will test it carefully to avoid the tragedy of the subspace.

This E-type attack ship implements a conservative strategy in design. It uses conventional plasma engine cruising power and is equipped with a high-power parallel engine developed from the Voss-type Scimitar-class frigate.

The hull of the important parts is made of a whole piece of pure gold plate sheet metal, which is extremely strong.

Up to 24 Helios-class torpedoes can be loaded inside, and there is a light rapid-fire macro cannon on the spine as a flat-fire weapon, and it also has automated omnidirectional laser close-in defense gun protection.

But there is no void shield. ”

"No void shield? "Commodore Peru was amazed by this.

"Without the void shield, how can it survive the artillery battle?"

The old man was about to say something, but Horatio spoke first.

"Sir Peru, since there are as many as 24 Helios torpedoes, why do we have to engage in close artillery battle?"

Horatio's sharp words made Commodore Peru instantly understand the key points.

"Young man has vision." The old man praised: "Yes, the ship is equipped with the crystallization of our Voss technology, a camouflage stealth force field called 'Shadow Field', which replaces the void shield. This will greatly enhance the survivability of the ship to achieve the tactical concept of one-hit escape. This is what we achieved through——"

The old man's electronic prosthetic eye did not move, paused for a moment, and then said: "Through the new STC template ——·

[Hehe. ]

Horatio raised half of his eyebrows.

If he was not a time traveler, he would probably be fooled by the old man's nonsense.

According to what he saw in the settings, "Shadow Field" is an equipment widely used by Eldar ships.

I didn't expect that the sages of the Vos faction actually reversed their reasoning and invented Eldar creations, which were installed on the warships provided to the Imperial Navy.

If this was known by other mechanical orders, or even the mechanical orders in the Inquisition that were specifically responsible for monitoring technological heretics, there would be bloodshed on Vos Prime.

Acquiring and studying alien technology is undoubtedly challenging the traditional principles of the Mechanicus for thousands of years, and it is an act that any level of mechanical priests will be punished for, even if they are doing it privately.

Of course, Horatio would not tell others because he knew it was a good thing.

And the Vos faction seemed to be much more than it seemed.

Since he had discovered these sneaky ideas.

Then, wouldn't he be able to ask the Vos faction to give him some more "good things" in the future?

Thinking of this, he looked warm on the surface, but actually smiled darkly.

"I am glad to hear the good news from you personally, Brigadier General. The light of the Emperor of God once again spread to the sacred territory. "

Then, Horatio and Commodore Peru met with Admiral Venusca Catalia, the supreme commander of the Gothic Fleet.

"We are always ready for new orders." The Commodore replied, "But the Indefatigable may not be able to move for a while."

"It seems that you can accept your promotion with pleasure." The Lord Admiral joked.

"Willing to serve the Emperor." The Commodore saluted.

"Mr. Horatio Cochrane. "The female admiral said to the young man who had become more mature after the expedition.

"Before you came, two female officers of your expedition fleet arrived before you, one of them brought back a message, and--"

The admiral waved his hand, and the lord colonel next to him signaled the guards to open the door of the next lounge.

The hatch opened, and Horatio saw Farida and Louise sitting face to face at first sight.

The blonde girl's uniform had more golden embroidery patterns than before she left, and a pair of golden shoulder straps without tassels. The whole uniform was white and gold - this was the standard uniform of a formal junior military supervisor.

The female officer of Cardia sitting opposite her was wearing the same lieutenant uniform as before, but the conspicuous white welt on the collar disappeared.

After seeing the young man, the two stopped chatting and stood up to salute with sweet smiles.

On the Gothic star, which emits industrial waste gas and roars furnaces all year round, Horatio suddenly felt that spring had arrived,

flowers were blooming, and it was warm and gentle.
