Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 330 The Rise of the Primarch: The Battle of the Morning Star

The huge breech block was slowly opened, and along with the heavy gun door opened to one side, the splendid starry sky outside the hole came into view, and the dark background of the solar system was now like a gorgeous canvas on which to draw and breathe. Colors create a beautiful and magnificent scenery.

Those flying lasers, flickering warheads and various colors of fire filled the background of the Milky Way, but soon the beautiful picture was blocked, blocked by a dark, cylindrical shape. The metal object was pushed into the barrel, but soon there was light again, illuminated by the fire.

The huge explosion flame instantly lit up the entire cannon, and the dark object blocking the cannon roared out of the cannon. Its body and the rifling on the inside of the cannon rubbed against each other and spun out rapidly. Out of the huge macro cannon shells.

The building-like heavy artillery shell burst out from the muzzle, and its end drove the soaring fire that poured out of the muzzle to illuminate the angel on one side. The golden statue stood in the center of the artillery deck holding the holy sword. The right cheek and body were illuminated by firelight, and then the left body was also illuminated by the roar of the macro cannon on the other side.

The entire row of macro cannons on the entire artillery deck fired at the same time, dozens of thick cannonballs roared out from all around it, and its body was instantly illuminated by the raging fire, and the light of the artillery fire hit them. The target's surface is illuminated by explosive flames.

Huge cannonballs roared over the splendid starry sky. In the splendid sea where the cannonballs flew, there were countless wrecks of warships floating. They were broken and floated in the splendid colors, and the colors themselves also spread out from them. Yes, the fuel and chemical elements in the battleship were projected into the starry sky in the explosion, and various elements blended with each other, turning into that shimmering sea of ​​fluorescent light.

The once utterly pitch-black night sky of Terra has completely transformed into a heaven of color, with blues, reds and cyans permeating the cosmic veil like a painting spilling paint and luminous powder against the backdrop of the Milky Way.

The rotating warhead drove the prayer scriptures engraved on its body to slide down the night sky. The colors and dust fuel that permeated the cosmic background were quickly penetrated by the golden warhead, and the shell was like a speedboat rushing through the waves. Generally, it whizzed past rapidly, and the cannonballs that it shot in that direction at the same time as the surroundings left a long trail in the background of the universe, and all the colors were squeezed to the sides by them, thus making clear path traces.

The golden cannonball pierced through the splendid sea of ​​stars and leaped over the blue dust storm. He broke out of the colorful clouds and slammed into the battleship on the other side.

Just before the shells were about to touch the surface armor of the battleship, the dazzling Void Shield shields quickly gathered and appeared outside the armor layer. In an instant, the sky-high explosive flames rose above the shields, followed by the ruthless subsequent shells around them. The bombardment hit the surface of the Void Shield, and a violent explosion rose above the side of the battleship, like a spewing volcano.

But when the flames of the explosion were exhausted, the Void Shield still flickered, and the battleship beneath it was still suspended in the night sky, and it also roared its own with the momentum of thunder.

All the macro cannons on its broadside fired in salvos, the neat muzzle roaring spit flames on the side of the battleship, and a whole row of cannonballs roared out of the flames and flew towards the gorgeous galaxy background, not only that , around this warship there are dozens of the same warships also firing and roaring at the same time.

Countless muzzle flames lit up the broadsides of these battleships, their armored surfaces were illuminated by flames, and the back buildings of the battleships with blasphemous symbols were completely illuminated by the flames of the macro cannons. The other side of the dim battleship stretched away, and the shadows in the firelight were huge and long.

The whistling shells rained down the splendid galaxy background, and exploded several flames in an instant at the location of its initial contact point. It was the flames of the disintegration of the frigates leaning in the front. Those flames He rose up and cast his own dazzling light onto Terra's orbit.

Captain Cole stood on the bridge and looked at the exploding ship. The captain's hands were on the armrests in front of him. His face was illuminated by the explosions one after another, and a barrage of rapid-fire guns was like raindrops. Shooting from the Chaos fleet on the other side of the night sky of the solar system, those dense barrages bombarded the Infinite Frontier, lighting up the sparks of explosions.

Cole completely ignored the flames of the explosion. He raised his hand in the slight vibration of the bridge and pointed to the Chaos fleet rushing from the sea of ​​explosions. They were advancing at a high speed, and the flames of the thrusters were like a Shooting stars traversing the universe.

"Order all fleets to adjust their course immediately! Focus the side boats on those assaulting Chaos battleships, never let them break out of the orbit! They may be full of Chaos Space Marines, and once they get to the jumping distance we're all done. !"

"Tell the Mechanician fleet to intersperse and kill them immediately! All battleships and orbital arrays are fired! Pull out the blockade!" Cole slammed a fist on the armrest in front of him and shouted, and his order was quickly obtained by the operator below. Feedback, the battlefield controller sitting in front of the terminal screen quickly tapped his fingers on the mechanical keyboard, raindrops slapped on the roof in the rainstorm, and the crackling command was loaded into the system and completed in the blink of an eye.

The entire imperial fleet began to turn sharply, and all the fleets around and behind the Infinite Frontier aimed their muzzles in the direction Cole was pointing. In an instant, countless artillery fires lit up from around Cole, and the macro artillery shells whistled in the violent vibration of the ship. However, it was followed by a barrage of fire that was as dense as raindrops, which was a dense net of fire woven by rapid-fire guns and missiles.

Among the warheads flying over the stars, one after another of shining spears rushed through at the speed of light, and the bright spearheads were concentrated on the charging Chaos battleship, and the shields of the small frigates were pierced in an instant.

Their shields disappeared in a flash, followed by a storm of destruction, a series of barrages bombarded them, macro cannonballs smashed into the bow of their warships, and then there was a shock. The explosion of the person, the huge explosion shredded the entire bow part of the frigate in an instant.

Dense barrages and missiles shot into it in the flames of the explosion, and new explosions occurred in the explosion. The soaring fires were superimposed on each other and connected to each other to form a long wall of flames on the scale of the galaxy.

But suddenly a series of torpedoes shot out from the flames. The proton torpedoes flashing red roared and flew over the stars. They shot through the wreckage of the battleships of both the Empire and Chaos floating in outer orbits, with the momentum of lightning. Shot at the Imperial fleet assembled on Terra's orbit.

Without Cole's order, all the warships quickly began to intercept firepower. In an instant, the fleet hovering outside the orbital star port shot a rainstorm-like barrage at the flashing torpedoes, many of which were destroyed. The explosion intercepted by the anti-aircraft artillery became a new gorgeous firework in the night sky.

But some of the torpedoes broke through the fire interception. They whistled and leaped to the outside of the fleet. Suddenly, the armor on both sides of the flying torpedoes popped out to the outside, and the cluster warheads attached to their sides were all fired instantly. Torpedoes turned into dozens, or even dozens of missiles.

In the blink of an eye, a torrential rain of missiles appeared outside the window of the entire bridge. Cole opened his eyes and looked at the missiles that were fired. They all relied on their own Void Shield to block the incoming warhead, but it also caused an instant weakening of the shield's strength.

There was an explosion, followed by an explosion. Cole was startled and immediately raised his head to look outside the window at a destroyer that exploded on the side of the Infinite Frontier. Its body was interrupted by the middle part.

"Captain! Bird's radar scan shows that a large number of enemy ships are approaching from the side of the battlefield!" The bird-bearer below Cole roared. He looked at the radar screen in front of him. On the green scan screen, in the Empire A large spot of light suddenly appeared in front of the fleet.

Cole immediately turned his head along the diagonal line of the destroyer explosion. He saw those Chaos ships, those servants of the evil gods were rushing towards the Imperial Navy fleet from the flanks of the battlefield. The Chaos Assault Fleet, which had been destroyed by the Imperial Navy, was After the explosion, they just used their own flames to form a cloud of fire that blocked the view, so that the Empire did not find their actions.

Cruel tactics, relying on sacrificing low-level members of the fleet to cover the field of vision, thereby creating a blind spot on the battlefield to cover the main fleet's assault, Cole can be sure that the opposing fleet commander is also an excellent captain, a cruel, ruthless but quite excellent commander official.

But Cole had no time to sigh about the excellence of his peers. Those Chaos fleets that rushed in from the flanks of the battlefield fired fiercely at the flanks of the imperial fleet. The light spears and bombardment guns on their backs were aimed at the flank course, and their complete lateral firepower Aiming at the front of the battlefield, causing his fragile bow section to fire towards the Imperial fleet to one side.

Intensive artillery fire hit the imperial fleet beside Cole. The imperial battleships hovering in orbit exploded one after another. The light spear and shield-breaking bombardment blasted through the armor in one shot. The rapid explosion exploded like raindrops in a very short time. In the fleet, even Cole's ship was hit by several of the shells.

In the violent vibration, Cole was shaken to one side and almost fell to the ground. He hit the armrest at once, and Cole's elbow hit the stone platform with pain, but he just took a breath and immediately Standing up, he didn't even have time to curse, because the bird Buchang below screamed.

"Captain! We were hit by the spears in a row! The strength of the Void Shield plummeted! Only 30% of the strength is left! Can't withstand the next attack!"

Cole angrily punched the armrest, stood up and roared and looked out the window, "Where's the oil guy?! Did they crash?!"

"No, Captain, we don't." Cole cursed until the communication terminal beside him suddenly sounded the calm voice, even in this chaotic battlefield, it was so mechanical and calm.

Cole looked at the audio band on the screen for a while, and then he was attracted by the dazzling fire outside the window. He saw the Chaos assault fleet that exploded and disintegrated. It exploded into a dazzling spark.

Destroyed one of their red high-speed fleets, which were red warships advancing very fast, and their speed was quite fast, as if they were light cavalry charging in a roundabout way on the battlefield.

The Mechanic Fleet also rushed out from the explosive fire cloud that blocked the view. They were like a group of wolves lying in ambush in the wind and snow. When their prey thought they were safe, they suddenly rushed out. More advanced than other warships of the Empire, and the propulsion system is faster and quickly detoured to the rear of the Chaos fleet.

Although the side caliber of the red ship is smaller and less powerful than the imperial warships of the same level, its rate of fire is far higher than the rapid fire of the naval guns of the ships of the same level of the Empire and Chaos, and the light spear mounted on its back is also All turned around, and the Mechanicist fleet that maneuvered through the rear of the Chaos Fleet mercilessly bombarded the rear of the Chaos Fleet with the destructive artillery fire.

The chaotic battleships that were facing away from the Mechanicist fleet and were completely unable to fight back were all hit. Under the operation of the Mechanician's excellent fire control array, all the shells hit the target accurately and in an instant, the entire Chaos fleet turned into pieces. spark.

The crew on the bridge of the Infinity Frontier stood up and cheered as they watched the sparks blooming, and many sailors on the Imperial ship cheered as they watched the Chaos ship that was destroyed by the Mechanicus and turned into flames. When he got up, Cole looked at those sparks with a smile like them.

But suddenly another explosion occurred, and a new spark joined the sea of ​​fire, but it was not the Chaos fleet, but the Mechanic's ship!
Cole stared at the exploding Mechanicus ships, their Void Shields shattered by a series of precise and swift light spear bombardments, and then hit by equally accurate cannonball interceptions, the Emperor on top!The shell actually hit the Mechanic School ship that was sailing at high speed!The experience of the shooter is unbelievable. How many naval battles and years of experience are needed to achieve accurate advance estimates?

And Cole quickly got the answer. When the fire cloud dissipated, Cole saw the real main force of the Black Fleet. Unlike the Chaos Fleet that had interspersed and attacked before, those ships were typical mortal naval battleships, and now they appear in In front of Cole are all battleships fully equipped with Chaos Space Marines, which belong to the direct fleet of the Rebel Legion!
Those [-]-year-old rebel sailors used their rich experience. Although they did not have the precise fire control system like the Mechanicist, they relied on their [-]-year rich experience to perfectly hit the Mechanic's fleet.

The red fleet turned into the wreckage of the explosion in the universe, and its fragments moved a large distance forward due to the inertia of the rapid flight, like a large meteor that scatters forward with flames.

"Father! Immediately retreat to the main fleet! All ships begin to retreat! Abandon the mid-level orbit to retreat to the low-Earth orbit, and retreat within the range of orbital firepower and ground-based defense firepower! Execute immediately!"

Cole gave an order loudly, and Anna, who was below him, raised her head to look at Cole above, "What's the matter, captain?"

"The commander of the opposing fleet is simply a lunatic. He sacrificed two detachments to expose our mobile fleet. The first wave of his sacrificed fleet was to inflict assault damage on us. All rushed into the enemy ship from the flank. All the firepower was put on our destroyers, frigates and light cruisers, all of which were fast and maneuverable ships, and the more bulky, firepower and chaos ships were spared."

Cole frowned and looked at the huge battleship in the center of the Chaos Fleet in the distance, the Glory Queen-class battleship surrounded by countless hunting groups. He was as far away from the battlefield as the alpha wolf hidden in the shadows, hiding in the middle of the huge fleet. In the middle, but it is also like a wolf king who skillfully commands the wolves under his command, giving the opponent the most fatal blow.

"The purpose of his second wave of sacrificed fleets is to draw out the Mechanic's mobile fleet, and then destroy them, so as to completely destroy our mobile power, and the slower and slower bulky ships are like using no infantry support. The tanks, once they enter the vast star field, will be surrounded and eaten by their more flexible fleets with the main fleet, just like the wolves are hunting, forcing the huge but clumsy opponents into the hunting grounds of the wolves."

"Cruel but cunning guy, I really want to know what that person's name is." Cole whispered, looking at the bridge of the Queen of Glory, he knew that the captain was on the bridge, he was a genius, and now Cole whispered You are about to fight a cosmic battle with him, and he must not underestimate the enemy.

Cole looked at Anna below, and then pointed to the remaining imperial fleet outside the window, "We can't be fooled by chaos, staying in the central ring is waiting to die! Order the fleet to retreat quickly and shrink back to the range where the orbital firepower can cover, and the fleet Concentrate on low-Earth orbit to gather defenses and avoid being divided and surrounded by fast fleets."

"As ordered, Captain!" Anna said and then nodded to Chang Bo, who had a mechanical blindfold embedded in his face, and then quickly tapped on the keyboard with his flexible mechanical fingers, ordering It was also implemented quickly.

"Kent, turn to catch the wolves before they pounce." Cole said, looking at the huge Chaos fleet advancing outside the window, the helmsman old Kent directly below him held the rudder, and he jerked one of the Pull the lever, "Yes, Captain."

The old Kent began to turn the rudder sharply, and the Infinity Frontier began to change direction along with his rudder, and the vector jets in the abdomen ejected a huge column of fire to one side, pushing the warship to turn, and other large imperial warships around it. It also began to turn, and the entire fleet was turning to the rear to retreat.

Ana looked at the starry sky sliding out of the window and turned to look in Cole's direction. The captain was standing above her and pressing on the armrest, "But captain, if we shrink the defense line, other defensive fleets will definitely receive the same The news began to shrink, and Terra's defense fleet would be equivalent to giving up most of the control of the universe, and could not effectively prevent Chaos from airdropping troops to the ground."

Cole glanced at Anna below, then raised his head to look at Terra, who was in sight outside the window. He looked to the side to the boundary of the planet's horizon that shimmered with rays of light in the sun. There was also a star in the starry sky. A densely packed invasion fleet is approaching.

"The only thing we can do for Vito is to intercept as many Chaos fleets as possible to prevent them from dropping more troops, and the rest can only be left to themselves. May the Emperor bless them."

"We can only do this one more thing, pray"

Cole said and looked at the first black fleet battleship approaching the atmosphere of Terra in the distance. He quickly passed above the atmosphere, and a series of light spots flashed below it. It was a death claw landing capsule. , those dead iron rains plunged into the atmosphere and crashed into Terra with raging flames.
