Chapter 227 The "support" came just in time.
Chapter 227 The "support" came just in time.
Vigorous and powerful hands pressed down on the shoulders of the two men. The generals and staff around them shut up, and the command room fell silent instantly.
The great elder of the Caliman family, the top leader of this war, stood up.
"It's just that the enemy's information is unclear, so you are so panicked. How can you behave like this!?"
Everyone was silent, some were sweating like rain, some were staring at the sky in a daze, and some were thinking in secret with their heads down. The success or failure of the war may not kill them, but if they angered the old man in front of them, they would most likely be separated from their bodies. .
"Foos, what did that one say?"
"Great Elder, that one said it was definitely not a force arranged by him, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury."
"Then what he means is that we attack with all our strength without any worries. Blood descendants of Caliman, tell me, what should we do if we encounter a strong enemy on the road?"
"Kill, kill, kill."
"My Caliman family relies on giant ships and cannons to make a living. Why is it that after only a few years of stability, you are starting to shrink back and look forward and backward? You are just a little mosquito, and your strength is far lower than us. What are you afraid of? Even if he stands behind you With the regent, can you touch our Kalliman family?"
A burst of words boosted the morale of the Caliman family. They have been traveling across the galaxy for eleven thousand years. Why worry about this?
"Pass my order. All troops should hide themselves and be sure not to be exposed. When the enemy enters our encirclement, call for support immediately. Thousands of sails will launch together to tear into pieces those who dare to be enemies of the Caliman family."
After the great elder said this, he kept silent and asked the staff to coordinate the navigation of each ship in detail.
It seems that a lot has been said, but in fact it has said nothing. The leader has only one decision to make, whether to fight or not to fight.
The enemy fleet had almost closed down all facilities and was floating like a meteorite, but the White Scar children were not blind in their reconnaissance. I didn't see a large force, but I saw a few sneaky Ambition-class cruisers, so I must have felt something was wrong.
After Nian Cijin received the news, he led his troops to circle around the periphery of the galaxy, approaching the stardust ring from time to time, and then moving away at an ambiguous distance within the range of the macro cannon.
The entire main fleet of the Caliman family made way for a way, and there was no warship in the cylindrical area surrounding the Nova frigate.
They didn't know that the White Scars scout ship, known for its speed, was almost on the tail fin of the Kaliman Young battleship.
Due to stardust interference and the tail flame of the Kalliman Yang frigate, the bird servitors of other battleships did not detect our reconnaissance force at all, while Yang's frigate bird servitor was scanning ahead to prevent itself from running into friendly forces.
This situation lasted for a long time.
Those enemy ships will always start evacuation work at the position where Nian Cijin's large force "intends" to enter, so that these fleets can enter the ambush circle before taking action.
However, no matter how secretive the fleet's actions were, there would still be traces. After going back and forth like this, Nian Cijin discovered that the scale of the enemy was far beyond imagination, so he began to gradually move away from this area.
"Brother Nian Cijin, do we want to enter the subspace and return to the previous node?"
"There are some risks, brother. I suspect that the back route of the channel has been surrounded. I am considering whether to evacuate directly to the real world space or jump out of the subspace channel and enter an unknown area."
"We haven't reached such an urgent moment yet, the support from the parent regiment has already set off." Think Tank was not as nervous as Nian Cijin, and the enemy has not yet launched an attack.
"We must consider every possibility and prepare for the worst." Nian Cijin stared at the map closely. There were as many as eighteen suspected battleship positions marked in front. If we look at the area we are currently walking in, I am afraid that the enemy's The number is expected to reach forty main warships.
The trade fleet continued to maneuver, and the warships of the Caliman family were exhausted.
"Everyone concentrate, I want you to execute every step of the strategy accurately. The enemy is conducting mobile reconnaissance. This is a crucial time point. As long as we allow them to enter the system with confidence, we will be more than half successful." The commander is now To boost morale, suddenly a report from the rear was received.
"A suspected enemy reconnaissance force was found behind our warship."
"???That battleship, don't tell me what it is suspicious of, confirm it for me, confirm it!"
"It's Kalliman Young's battleship, undergoing optical review."
The commander paced back and forth uneasily, praying that the news wasn't the worst.
"The news is confirmed that it is the enemy's reconnaissance force." The commander subconsciously said as if he was struck by lightning: "The entire army will attack and carry out a full-scale attack."
Dozens of capital ships roared out, and all Kalliman elites jumped out of the stardust area and launched a fierce attack on the trade fleet that was "drifting forward" on the periphery.
The space torpedo was launched first, and the light of the light spear illuminated the entire universe.
The enemy's behavior was naturally reckless. Nian Cijin smiled slightly and commanded the fleet to retreat in an orderly manner, heading towards the dark space.
"The commander on the opposite side lost his patience and asked the scouts to withdraw. If they couldn't withdraw, they would hide on the spot and try to disrupt their rear."
If he were an ordinary warrior, he would have died a heroic sacrifice long ago, but even if you see the White Scar disciple, you may not be able to catch up with him.
The few scout boats passed through the enemy fleet in a swish and headed towards the colony of Andromeda.
The two sides opened up their stances and began to exchange blows.
The Gothic-class battleship once suppressed the enemy ships ahead with its superior firepower, but as the enemies came from various ambush areas in the galaxy, we gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Your Majesty, retreat back."
"Push them all in! What kind of fool is the vanguard commander? Tell me!" The great elder of Caliman was extremely angry. The vanguard commander actually launched an attack without any reason. It was not a good time no matter how he looked at it.
"It's Oswix."
Oswix claims to have no problem commanding an army of tens of millions, and he has completed war missions very well on weekdays. Why is he so reckless today?
The great elder ignored the previous strategy and immediately implemented Plan B, "Order the reinforcements from each family to set off quickly to surround the enemies in front."
"Ask the psyker, when will reinforcements from the Tunangin family arrive?"
At the rear, at the core of the battleship, there is a grand altar with a high dome and beautifully carved pillars. The altar below is elegant and gorgeous. The floor is carved with a coiled dragon, and four-color flames illuminate the entire altar all year round.
Right above the altar, where the gorgeous glazed lamp should have been, now hangs upside down a psyker, a prophetic psyker supported by the Caliman family. The source of his power is very mysterious. Ever since he joined the Caliman family, he has stayed in that position and has never come down.
Three mad psykers were executed, and their blood was used to paint the altar.
"What do you want?"
"The arrival time of the Tunangin family."
In an instant, all the creatures in the altar were killed, from microorganisms to the people who came up to report, all lost their lives in an instant.
There are only a few people, and the value of obtaining strategic information is much greater than them.
A few hours later, another team of soldiers entered the place and took the information away, and everything here returned to normal.
"Three Terra hours, so fast? They have made progress. Order the entire army to launch a full-scale attack and drag the enemy into a melee with us!"
The special forces were dispatched, and the more than 800 traitors boarded the strike cruiser of the Dark Mechanicum and rushed towards us.
Three firepower ships are suppressing a large group of frigates ahead. The enemy's tactics are very cruel. They let small speedboats drag them back regardless of casualties, and even block the guns, allowing the Ambition-class cruisers to distance themselves and launch fire suppression on us.
The Silent Fire has withstood a large number of attacks. Without a battle barge, the strike cruiser has assumed the role of a "human shield", and the void shield has reached the edge of overload.
The enemy focused fire on one of our Ambition-class cruisers. The battleship has now become a ball of fire, and there is always the danger of engine explosion.
One hundred thousand crew members died, and Nian Cijin ordered a full retreat into the universe of real space.
The route is straight and the voyage is straight, which means competing for speed with the pursuers at the rear.
"Quickly, fix the beacon point, estimate the enemy's position in three hours, and send it to the Tunanjin family."
The vanguard commander breathed a sigh of relief. The enemy's command was stupider than I thought, or rather, more direct.
After the order, the Astartes troops launched a full-scale attack, relying on their speed advantage to catch up with the enemy's warships and launch a gang-hopping attack.
The six dark strike cruisers began to accelerate. Their engines were very strange. There were long mechanical "tails" like tentacles on them. They were constantly twitching mechanically inside and outside. The entire battleship was like an arrow shot by a long bow. The reaction force is eliminated and invisible.
Our two strike cruisers were at the back. In order to protect their own fleet, the Astartes decided to fight with the enemy.
Three hundred soldiers are equipped with the best weapons. Don't ask. As the richest branch of Red Torrent, Nian Cijin has equipped the soldiers with weapons that are twice the conventional firepower. If you are willing, you can use five weapons. The ion pistols are strapped together to allow low-profile continuous fire. Ion storms have been installed in defensive positions as fixed forts, and even mortals can control them.
Three hundred elite soldiers guarded the dangerous place of gold and stone, and collided head-on with the incoming enemy.
The eight hundred rebels are ordinary Astartes. Their origin is more interesting, that is, they refuse Primaris warriors to join their battle group.
The parent group's approach was chilling, and the senior management finally decided to accept the Primaris warriors, and these opponents were forcibly suppressed.
These tough Sons of Dorne decided to prove in their own way that "even without the addition of Primaris warriors, their combat effectiveness will never be lower than that of any Primaris warband."
These veterans planned an attack on the Primaris warriors, which ultimately failed.
Despite their inexperience, the Primaris warriors proved their worth.
These people were declared heretics, and no matter what, they could not attack friendly forces.
These rebels have always comforted themselves with the fact that they are still working for the Emperor. After all, the Rogue Traders are also considered troops of the Empire, but now, they are once again attacking the loyal Astartes.
When the battle began, they were a little hesitant. These people hoped to use their numerical advantage to force the Astartes in front of them to surrender. It would be best to join the Caliman family together.
This proposal was completely forgotten when they saw our firepower, and only the roar of "For the Emperor!" echoed across the battlefield.
The prophetic think tank was walking in the passage. The entire passage was blocked by debris, and there were booby traps and mortal rebounding gang troops everywhere.
"Press the detonation button in five seconds."
The think tank left such a sentence and disappeared like the wind.
A group of enemies appeared. Before they could stand firm, the flames of the anti-vehicle bombs engulfed several team members in front.
The soldier behind him was hit in the head by a sledgehammer when he turned around, and his blood was mixed with armor fragments and stuck to the wall.
"You have not failed the Emperor's favor! Die, traitor!"
Think Tank's muscles tensed up, and he swung his hammer at the two surviving people in the middle. The two enemies had time to pull out their own war blades, but they were struck by the thunder of psychic punishment the moment they drew their swords.
The mortals shot at them with laser guns. Under attack from both sides, the two soldiers were hammered to death by the think tank without long resistance.
After all, there are only a few scenes like this. In most cases, a Primaris warrior can control a twin bolter turret, kill an incoming Astartes in an instant, and then be swallowed up by an enemy several times his size.
The plasma penetrated the shoulder armor, the melt penetrated the chest, the loyal heart stopped beating, life was passing away, driven by greed, and overwhelmed by the enthusiasm for war.
The soldiers guarding the core area unlocked the precious explosive weapon. This weapon can instantly turn the enemy into a ball of charred armor, without any flesh remaining.
Although the enemy had a small number of bolters, they had enough bullet barrels, which the Kaliman family could afford. The bolters quickly killed a large number of defensive troops.
The soldiers of the Red Torrent became angrier and angrier as they fought. We didn't even know why they were fighting us. These people still kept the Sky Eagle emblem and shouted Emperor, but they fired fiercely at us.
The exchange of physics within the Astartes was very cruel. Both sides were anxious. Our psykers and mortal forces were all thrown into the battlefield. However, despite the enemy's numerical superiority, the battleship's engine was still lost. .
They destroyed the engine section of the Silent Fire, forcing the battleship to stand up, and the strike cruisers that were guarding the side were also bombarded.
Nian Cijin ordered the battleship to turn around and start a confrontation with the enemy. He asked several firepower ships to rely on their powerful engines to rush in, tie the rope to the strike cruiser, and then pull them away together.
The enemy's large forces also came up. The first batch included more than 20 capital ships, the second batch included 15 ships, and the third batch of 15 ships followed far behind, like a large tent of the Chinese army.
"Great Elder, it's almost time for the Tunanjin family to arrive, and the enemy's thirty-two large fleets haven't appeared yet. Could this be their trap?"
"No, the latest intelligence shows that since they returned to the world, these are the only ships left. The information about the Arthur 23 forging world has just been sent."
"Bless the Emperor, these people deserve death."
The great elder smiled slightly. Although the vanguard commander's stupid attack made him unhappy, the result was good. "Attention, we must confiscate their alien creations. This is evidence of their rebellion against the empire. We are destroying the traitors of the empire who cooperate with the aliens." , this must be implemented in place.”
"Understood!" The entire command room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
......
"Great Elder, there is a subspace rift on the side. It is Tu Nanjin's troops. They have arrived."
"Very well, let our troops withdraw slowly. Now that they are here, we don't have to do the dirty work."
"Great Elder, they are driving towards us."
"Stupid, let them go to a war zone."
"Boom~~~" The command flagship of the Caliman family kept shaking. The light spear salvos of twenty "Tunanjin" ambition-class cruisers hit their void shields and instantly overloaded their void shields. Half of the armor is completely vaporized.
"What are they doing?! Are they going to rebel? Do they think that together with those ten enemy ships, they can fight us?"
The great elder was shocked and angry. How dare these small vassal families rebel? Where are the monitors placed on their side? Didn't they take the head off the head of their family?
Soon, they knew the answer.
A more terrifying subspace rift unfolded from the other side, forming a horn offensive with the "Tunan Jin" fleet.
A hive ship flew out.
Such a magnificent battleship, such a tyrannical power of Omnissiah, so... unstoppable.
All the battleships frantically used their bird servants to detect the space, but the bird servants showed nothing on the huge creation that was clearly in front of them.
"What is that! What is that!" The great elder was so crazy that anyone who saw this terrifying creation would lose their mind.
On the traitor's dark strike cruiser, the recruits who were born after joining the Caliman family screamed and cried bitterly.
It's the Shanzhen! It’s the parent group! It is the strongest fortress of our Imperial Fist!
The remaining veterans frowned deeply.
Does the Phalanx look like this? Who went to the Blade Festival (Fists of the Empire Tournament)? Come out and explain, is this thing the Phalanx?
The veterans frowned and retreated behind the crowd... behind the boats.
Yifeng sneered, you are the only one who wants to touch my trade fleet? Bring it to you.
The trade fleet sent out a distress signal, and the People's Light was dispatched, naturally traveling along the subspace channel.
There is only one main channel here. Nian Cijin came from one side and we came from the other side. Naturally, we encountered the enemy's ambush troops.
Ten of these thirty Ambition-class cruisers were destroyed in one encounter, and now they have just been dragged into Anos' belly.
The remaining twenty ships surrendered very decisively, and Yifeng said, surrender? Not allowed to submit name certificates?
Listen to me, now go backstab the Caliman family, and before they know your betrayal, let me relax their vigilance, and cut off their escape route.
Hence the "surprise attack on Kalliman's flagship by the Tunangin rebels" just now.
.......
Yifeng immediately stood in the command room and shouted towards the next door: "Okay, what stage are we at now?"
"Report to Chapter Leader to launch an attack and lift their defenses."
"No," Yifeng stomped his feet heavily and shouted at the control room above at the highest volume: "This is a duel session. I, the Light of the People, will challenge all their ships!"
Yifeng pulled out his war blade and pointed forward.
"fire!"
It was still the familiar space fluctuation. All the enemy ships instantly lost their void shields. Not only that, a large number of ships directly lost all their energy supplies and fell into darkness.
Rogue Trader warships are "blessed" by the Adeptus Mechanicus less frequently, and their machine spirits are more fragile. If a battle barge like the Solemn Alert was hit, the machine soul would almost die suddenly, let alone this group of ambition-class cruisers, the machine soul would fall into a deep sleep on the spot.
Silence fell on the battlefield.
The enemy Astartes hammered the console hard twice, but there was no reaction at all.
"Can the rescue capsule be used?"
"No, we can't even open the mechanical door to the rescue cabin."
Then there are our more than 20 cruisers, rushing out of the shipyard, regardless of whether they are repaired or not, as long as they can fire guns.
Three or five ships found an enemy ship, and they went up and were bombarded.
Seeing such a terrifying scene, the vassal family fleet headed by Tunangin did not dare to think of rebellion. They immediately increased their attack intensity and beat the Kaliman family to death.
I have encountered a thigh. I have to show off quickly and hug my thigh tightly.
There are Astartes troops who must be loyal.
They had completely forgotten that there were Astartes in the Caliman family.
The Astartes who jumped onto our battleship stopped their offensive, began to shrink their troops, and guarded several areas to negotiate with us.
"Brothers at the front, your numbers are too small! You can't stop our attack. Surrender quickly and follow us. The sea is vast and the fish are leaping. The sky is high and the birds are flying!" This group of traitorous Astartes made up their mind not to leave. If you are loyal to the Caliman family, grab the ship and fly solo. It is best if these warriors join them.
"Traitors, the wrath of the Emperor is about to fall upon you. Kneel down and repent."
"Don't be stubborn! A powerful enemy appears behind you. You must have discovered it. We must escape immediately! We can never be their opponent."
Nian Cijin swallowed the words on his lips.
Funny, they don't seem to realize that that battleship is ours.
"Brothers over there, what do you think?" Nian Cijin decided to delay time and it would be best to recruit them.
"Brother, the enemy ship behind is very likely to be an Eldar warship. At least the Phalanx can match it. I am the son of Dorne. I know it. Take a good look at it. It is a flying ship that is impossible to defeat. Hive City!”
"We know it, we know it very well, but why do we join you and not you join us?"
The Astartes who came to join the gang were so anxious that they were worried. Is this what they are struggling with now? If you don't run, you'll die!
"Brother, there are many of us! If we... cooperate, yes, cooperate, we will definitely be able to get out and make a breakthrough. Now is not the time to be stubborn. Leave quickly. I promise, our battleship will not Attack you."
"Ha! Can your battleship still move?"
The Silent Fire shook for a while, and the Mechanicum's fireship was tied to it with steel ropes, and began to accelerate slowly, while the enemy's warship floated in the air, without any power at all.
The rebels were anxious, "Brother, take us with you. Take the brothers from our battleship with you. At worst, I will join you. Isn't it okay to join you?"
Nian Cijin: Hee hee.
