Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

"I……"

After realizing it, Joseph hesitated to speak, but in the end he still pressed his heart and focused his attention on the battle in front of him.

"Pay attention to the angle of contact with the enemy! Attention all captains! Adjust the posture laterally to 15 degrees along the vertical axis! The height remains unchanged and the deflection remains unchanged! The void shield energy is tilted towards the even-numbered units, and be ready to counterattack at any time!"

"yes!"

The other commanders on the other side of the screen were immediately involved in issuing orders to the warships they were responsible for.

It was only then that Joseph had time to look at the adjutant, deliberately took off the communicator and said:

"Is the fleet communication document just now classified as a confidential document?"

"……yes"

"Is my secret level enough?"

"Enough..."

"Then..." Joseph raised his eyebrows at his adjutant, indicating that you understood.

"Understood, go back and make a copy sent to your cabin for your records."

The adjutant rolled his eyes cryptically, and then agreed to the occasional unreasonable request of his chief officer.

The bombardment by the Chaos fleet continued, but after fifteen difficult minutes, the battleship, which was covered in scars but in still good condition, was once again under the protection of the void shield.

The Northern Fleet withstood the tremendous pressure and still maintained its predetermined posture under the salvos of the Chaos Fleet, without deviating throughout the entire process.

The Chaos warships, which had no chance to close the distance and engage in a gang-hopping battle, could only fire more angrily at the stubborn enemy opposite them.

But little did they know that inside the Melmoth system where all members of their fleet had just left, the Manzeville point used for the large fleet's jump had changed.

"Where is the frigate? Let those bats and Sons of Fulgrim board the ship and prepare! After the next round of strikes, I want to watch their landing torpedoes and landing craft pierce that battleship!"

Hydera, who had taken over the supreme command, roared with a livid face. The enemy's resilience and malicious tactical intentions made him extremely annoyed.

The pressure from Malus' direction also made him feel that he was at risk of failing in his mission.

He had lost patience with Joseph and planned to let his Chaos Space Marines force a landing under enemy fire.

Ignoring the ugly expressions on the representatives of the Astartes who came to contact the two war gangs.

"Sir, the enemy ship's artillery fire is so fierce. Without clearing out the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower, if we rashly launch a landing, will the gain outweigh the loss?"

Representatives of the Sons of Fulgrim challenged Hydra, who had distrusted the mysterious man from the Alpha warband from the beginning;

If it weren't for the authoritative suppression of Warmaster Abaddon, they would never have responded to the other party's call and traveled all the way to the remote village of Orps to fight the empire.

Hydera raised her head and looked deeply at the friendly envoy under the throne, her slender eyebrows and eyes were tightly slit, and she was not in a hurry to answer.

The war has developed to this point, and this high-level legion belonging to the Black Legion no longer has any scruples.

Anyone who dares to disrupt his military morale at this time and try to challenge his authority will only get one end.

Boo!

A burst of plasma melted the son of Fulgrim's gorgeous purple-feathered helmet, turning it into liquid that evaporated from the gap the size of the helmet's bowl, along with its owner's brain and skull.

Hydra looked expressionless as he watched his bodyguard slowly put away the plasma pistol.

He turned to look at the Night Lord on the other side, raised his lips and asked the Chaos Space Marine who was standing there blankly:

"Do you have any questions?"

"Your will."

The Night Lord lowers his head in submission to his authority.

A shot fired at his colleagues finally made the envoy understand the current situation. Whoever dares to hesitate at this moment will be the deadly enemy of the poisonous snake in front of him.

And if he still dares to bargain, the other party will definitely send them to hell before he is dragged to death.

"Then get ready."

Hydera's cold voice came from the corner of her mouth, and she no longer paid attention to the envoy in front of her.

The purpose of false respect and goodwill is only to enable his orders to be implemented, but not to be truly weak;

When it comes time to use troops, who dares to be as confused as the son of Fulgrim before? Hydra will not mind using cold explosives to tell them what the cruelty of Hydra is.

The deafening sound of cannon fire continued rhythmically from the direction of the fleet;

In Hydra's eyes, he was still ruthlessly biting the tail of the opponent's fleet.

The news from other ships that the Chaos Space Marines were ready also allowed Hydra to calm down its anger a little.

But just when the end of the entire fleet was about to leave the Melmoth 5 system, and the Northern Fleet, whose overall posture turned to the right, began to enter the golden distance of the exchange of fire.

The Manzeville point from behind the fleet suddenly flashed, and a large-scale warping phenomenon appeared behind Hydra!

"The gravitational field index is abnormal! Emergency avoidance!"

The shrill siren sounded violently in the second half of the fleet!

Hydra watched as the battleships in the second half of the fleet were breaking away from the formation.

The main body of firepower of the fleet composed of Hellfire-class heavy cruisers and the escaping team of frigates intersected in confusion, and the distance between them even touched the minimum value allowed by the Meditator Servo!

No chaos!

At least at this time!

Hydera stood up suddenly, wanting to do something about the abnormality in the fleet.

But just when his voice was about to blurt out, the Star Fortress Raptor King, the core of the Krieg fleet, suddenly appeared!

This astral fortress, which is several times the size of a battleship and can be called a small celestial body, suddenly appears from Manzeville Point on Melmoth 5.

And it was obviously premeditated to use the repulsive force of the subspace breach to jump towards the edge of the galaxy!

jump! jump! jump!

Seeing this huge interstellar fortress being used so violently, Hydra's eyelids began to twitch.

He could even imagine how much damage the Star Fortress could cause to the main body of the fortress without turning on its engines to push back under the violent repulsion, but instead using full thrust to leap forward!

What a prodigal! Even in the era of the Great Crusade, there was no such barbaric use of an interstellar fortress!

But were those crackling sounds transmitted across several astronomical units to the bridge where he was located really coming from the groans of the interstellar fortress?

of course not!

Hydera looked at a battleship overlapping the Raptor King in the distance, and her face suddenly turned pale:

That was the sound of the King of Raptors using his own void shield and folding force field shield to mount defenses, crushing the Hellfire-class heavy cruiser "Wrath" at the end of the fleet!

The four Hellfire-class heavy cruisers are the strongest point of firepower and defense in the Chaos fleet besides the flagship, and they have always been the cornerstone of the fleet's existence.

And such a powerful battleship was actually crashed right in front of him by the enemy without firing a single shot and in the most brutal way!

"How dare you, rat!"

But something even more frightening happened.

After the Star Fortress violently jumped forward, seven holes appeared again at the jump point that was firmly covered behind him!

The Northern Fleet's previously uncharacteristically bellicose behavior immediately reappeared in Hydera's brain covered in cold sweat!

He turned violently and looked at the Northern Fleet, which had adjusted its posture dozens of astronomical units away and was facing him in the side direction with the best firepower release and began to advance diagonally.

A horrifying fact was placed in front of him: he was surrounded! This is a premeditated siege!
