Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 219 Vortex Torpedo
The cracks in the galaxy flickered, and another battleship formation jumped into the galaxy to participate in the fleet battle.

When Abaddon saw this scene, he was no longer surprised. The only thing he was puzzled about was that his team lost contact too quickly.

"Have your men lost contact?" Abaddon asked Typhus.

Typhons was organizing manpower to repair the hole at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the jumping team he sent out. He tried to contact Abaddon's inquiry, only to know that the jumping team had lost contact long ago.

The last thing they debriefed was standard combat procedure: We're trying to crack the gate.

Typhus informed Abaddon of the situation, then asked him what was going on there.

"The last report I received was..." Abaddon imitated, "We are fighting steel!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Typhons was expecting to know some important information, but Abaddon's answer disappointed him greatly.

Abaddon had nothing to say, and he was dissatisfied with his subordinate's inexplicable answer.It's a pity that there is no video image sent back, otherwise it would be clearer what is inside the enemy ship.

From a strategic point of view, this gang jumping was an extremely failure. The people sent out died too quickly, and the report was not clear, and no useful information was obtained at all.

"Let's evacuate." Abaddon glanced at the galaxies where enemy ships poured out of the porthole one after another. "We have to go back and collect the existing information, and we can't act rashly anymore."

Typhus nodded resignedly.

"But before I leave, I have to do one thing to ensure that the Vengeful Spirit can be evacuated." Abaddon got up from the throne and sent a series of secret orders to one of his adjutants.

The adjutant immediately went to the torpedo launcher on the starboard side of the Vengeful Spirit after receiving the secret order.

……

The Chaos Fleet began to retreat to the nearest Mandeville Point, and the most seriously injured Vengeful Spirit sailed slowly at the end of the fleet.

This is not because the Vengeful Spirit wants to stay behind, it's just because its propulsion device was damaged before and it can't run fast.

Adam, who witnessed the enemy's evacuation, thought about it immediately, and his brain-linked thinking aid helped him make a quick deduction: If he pursues the past at this time, the probability of sinking the Vengeful Spirit is 80.00%.

"The whole ship pursues."

Adam's order spread throughout the fleet in an instant, and the Tyrone Navy in the Anlai galaxy immediately advanced at full speed to pursue the Vengeful Spirit.

During the pursuit, the Vengeful Spirit's still-intact starboard nose fired a gleaming torpedo.

Adam's eyes fell on the torpedo, and the picture was zoomed in. He could clearly see that it was a black torpedo, which did not match the torpedo model used by the enemy stored in the database.

"A strong subspace reaction has been detected!" The crew in charge of monitoring the battlefield environment suddenly reported.

The torpedo in Adam's line of sight was marked with a warp energy reading, which was ridiculously high and rising.

The subspace energy reading of this torpedo is actually one-tenth that of Cadia's rift.

"Try to intercept it." Adam calmly ordered.

Immediately, another crew member reported the latest situation: "Report! The dimension engine suddenly started charging!"

As soon as the voice fell, the status of the dimension engine was displayed in front of Adam.

A series of commands are written on the controller of the dimension engine: extremely high subspace energy readings have been detected, and the defense protocol has been activated.

As the captain, Adam was at a loss, completely unaware of what this so-called defense agreement was all about, and none of the tens of thousands of agreements he read during his naval training included this one.

The torpedo soon flew near the Lord of Tyrone, and the subspace energy reading increased exponentially, and a purple vortex appeared in front of the battleship, and it was constantly expanding and moving.

This was the last picture Adam saw, and in the next second the Lord of Tyrone and other nearby warships appeared in the dimensional space.

"Why start the dimension engine? We will be able to destroy the enemy's battleship immediately!"

"How is this going?"

"Have you received the captain's order? Do you know that you will be punished if you start the dimension engine and escape without authorization?"

"..."

The crew began to accuse the man who questioned who managed the dimensional engine.

But Adam knew that the person in charge of the dimension engine would not care about this matter, because he did not believe that the crew on the Tyrone Lord battleship would be unprofessional enough to activate the dimension engine without an order.

"I want to read the defense agreement." Adam ordered.

A document was immediately spread out in front of Adam.

This is a confidentiality level 4 file, only the captain can read it.

The general meaning is that the warship will activate the dimension engine when it detects extremely high subspace energy readings. This is a protocol implanted into the warship's main control program, with the highest priority.

"The defense of the Anlai galaxy was very successful, everyone has worked hard." Adam closed the agreement page, "After I go back, I will write a report on the self-starting incident of the dimension engine and submit it to the Ministry of the Navy. This matter has nothing to do with other people in the ship. not related."

……

At the same time in the subspace.

"Is there a vortex torpedo on your battleship?" Typhus asked in a dull and angry voice, "Why didn't you use it before!"

As a man who fought all over the galaxy 1 years ago, Typhus knew all too well about the vortex torpedo and other vortex weapons of the same principle, although the Terminus had already jumped into the warp when the vortex torpedo was activated , but he was able to confirm from the few words sent by other warships that Abaddon used the vortex torpedo.

As the name suggests, the vortex torpedo is a weapon that creates a vortex on the battlefield. This vortex will send anything that has no time to escape into the warp. To put it less rigorously, the principle of this weapon is similar to that of the void shield.

A vortex torpedo is enough to destroy any battleship, but the vortex it creates on the battlefield is uncontrollable, it may move indefinitely in the direction of the enemy, or suddenly turn around and rush towards your own people.

"You don't think the vortex torpedo is the kind of weapon you can get casually, do you? I only use it in times of crisis." Abaddon didn't take Typhus' question seriously.

Typhons wanted to continue to express his dissatisfaction, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back, and finally just asked a gentle question: "How many vortex torpedoes do you have?"

"Gone."

"Then it seems that we have absolutely no ability to continue fighting." Typhons immediately picked up the communicator and ordered to the Terminus: "Leave the fleet and return!"

Abaddon was silent for two seconds, and after thinking about it, he made a decision: "There is one more, this one is for you, you can use it."

Typhus also changed his words to the communicator: "We will continue to follow the Warmaster until victory!"
