Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 417 05.0416: "Is it really goodnight this time?"

"This is Skyhawk One. I have arrived at the interception position and will soon intercept the torpedo autonomously." The ferocious green torpedo was reflected in Fasha's helmet eyepiece, followed by trails filled with rumbling smoke and dust.

Skyhawk 1 was urgently dispatched from the folding load. There was no mount under the wing, and the only weapon was a fully charged laser cannon.

She lowered the nose of the plane, aimed at the thick steel rod that was more like a flying weapon than a torpedo, and pressed the button to fire the laser cannon.

The long-tube lasers on the left and right sides of the wings shot out two dazzling beams of light, and as the firing continued, the flashes gradually connected into a line.

The laser beam hit the rusty torpedo body. The first few shots only burned the torpedo slightly red. The thick-skinned green torpedo simply ignored the shooting that was enough to intercept normal torpedoes.

But then, repeated precise shooting at the same impact point softened the thick layer of scrap iron armor, eventually melting a large deep red hole. The surface steel plate turned into molten iron and flowed inward, detonating the explosive inside.

As a golden fireball finally exploded, the body of Skyhawk 1 sparkled brightly under the light of the fire.

Seeing that one target had been successfully eliminated, Anya Fasha immediately turned the nose of the plane and began to chase the torpedo that had just passed under her fuselage and fired at the Indefatigable.

Just as she lowered the nose of the plane again.

A striking red warning popped up on the screen in front of me at an inopportune time.

"Warning: Promethium float failure"

Then, the tail flame from the Skyhawk 1's engine dimmed in color, and after barely catching up with another torpedo and blowing it up, her speed finally slowed down.

The experienced ace pilot knew immediately what had happened.

The promethium float failure means that when the fighter is in a negative G situation during a dive, the promethium in the promethium tank fails to be injected into the promethium float as planned, which eventually leads to poor fuel supply to the engine and a decrease in thrust.

Fasha knew his backup plane very well. Although the flight time on the backup plane was not as much as the previous plane, such a problem had never occurred before.

This problem must be caused by a hidden engine fault. It was the engine that was urgently replaced during the previous war!

Only two of the six torpedoes were successfully intercepted.

The remaining four shells still flew towards the middle section of the Indefatigable's hull as it turned to evade.

On the bridge of the Indefatigable, the sweaty helmsman had already urgently turned the rudder to the right. Commodore Peru knew very well that he could not aim the stern of the ship at the torpedo under any circumstances.

If the Indefatigable lost power, there would be no hope of returning home safely.

The ship's point defense close-in weapon systems rotated and pulled out long, dense laser beams, desperately trying to intercept the torpedoes fired at the ship.

Two torpedoes exploded instantly on the way to the charge, and one torpedo passed under the belly of the ship and was destroyed by the escort ship guarding below the Indefatigable.

The last torpedo hit the Indefatigable's upper deck straight on.

Just when everyone was holding their breath, the torpedo pierced the hull and killed some crew members on the shallow deck. It did not explode violently, but just stayed on the Indefatigable like an iron rod, motionless, like a harpoon that had pierced a giant whale.

Seeing that the Indefatigable did not explode, Fasha couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But as soon as he inhaled a breath, multiple radar reflection wave signals appeared on the auspicious instrument carried by the aircraft.

Those were the green-skinned dakka fighters and boom bombers rushing over, with circles of gray smoke mixed with burning impurities coming out of their tails.

After a brief engine restart procedure, the tail nozzle of the Skyhawk 1 backup aircraft began to operate again.

However, being so close to the enemy, Fasha's acceleration distance was limited, so she could only rush towards the Indefatigable first, preparing to rely on the Indefatigable's close defense firepower to kill the green-skinned Daka fighter chasing her from behind.

Doing so is very risky, as bullets have no eyes. If any gunner is not careful when operating the gun, this ace pilot sister will die.

She flew some distance toward the Indefatigable, with the cloud of the promethium float failure still hanging over her head.

As long as there is even a slight negative G maneuver, the engine will be short of fuel and thrust will drop.

She looked overhead as the bombers passed over her canopy and headed for the Indefatigable.

The female pilot lowered her head.

After a few seconds of silence, he raised his head again, looked resolutely at the bombers that kept flying from the plane above, and gave a hard push, increasing the engine power to maximum.

"The Emperor will redeem my soul..."

"Waaaaaaagh! Go! Hahahaha! What the hell, here we come!"

The Flying Boy was yelling and screaming, and his big body shrank awkwardly in the cockpit, pushing aside the fart spirit who was operating the buttons next to him. His face with a big nose and long ears was pressed against the glass window, and was flattened into a funny look.

shhhhhh!
A sudden beam of light was fired. "Huh?!" Flying Boy was surprised.

The fuselage suddenly lost control and spiraled into the bomber next to it, destroying both green creatures.

After destroying the bomber, Fasha did not turn immediately, but chose to pass through the green plane group and continue flying upwards.

Because there were green-skinned Daka fighters following closely behind her.

The close-in defense guns on the Indefatigable opened fire again, and lasers flew all over the nearby airspace.

The escort ships surrounding the Indefatigable were the first to interrupt their warp jump and enter combat mode in time.

They guarded the starboard side of the Indefatigable, providing fire coverage for it.

Thanks to the greenskins' bombers, which were not picky at all and would bomb any ship they saw, the ship, which was much smaller than the Indefatigable, was able to withstand a lot of large bombs.

Fasha performed a pirouette and pressed the fire button while flipping.

Four or five beams of light shot out and landed precisely on a Daka fighter that was following behind it. One of them pierced through the cockpit, and the blazing white beam of light directly purified everything. The aircraft, without a pilot, continued to speed until it flew out of everyone's sight.

When the turn was complete, she quickly lowered her flaps and retracted them a few seconds later to improve turning maneuverability.

Just like tying a tie, he turned left immediately after circling, and with a series of extremely accurate bursts of fire, he blew up the engines of three bombers at the moment of capturing the window, preventing them from continuing to drive towards the mother ship.

But doing so also allowed the "green MiGs" in the rear to take advantage of the situation.

The Flying Boy laughed wildly and opened fire, and the rough live bullets hit the body of the Skyhawk One like rain.

On the status diagram of the Thinker array projected on the screen, the left aileron on the rear section of the fuselage was floating yellow.

But for a 40-meter-long void fighter, the damage caused by some 20mm cannon hits is nothing.

Fasha continued to turn the nose of the plane and performed a low YOYO maneuver: she dived downward first to protect herself from a barrel roll, then she leaped upward and performed a barrel roll to confront a Daka fighter that was originally biting her tail.

Both sides pressed the fire button at the same time.

It shoots out red and white lasers on one side, and tracer bullets with inferior phosphorus primers on the other.

Bang bang bang!
There were a series of thumping sounds coming from the front of the Skyhawk 1, as if a moving vehicle was hit by pebbles from an overturned dune truck.

Dudu!

Dudu!

A cold mechanical female voice warned from within the machine.

The wings turned red and the maneuverability was visibly weakened.

However, in the head-on confrontation, Skyhawk No. 1 still managed to kill the alien opponent first with its precise shooting and faster laser firing rate.

Even so, she couldn't escape the enemy planes following closely behind her.

boom!boom!
Amid a violent shaking of the fuselage, the left wing of the Skyhawk 1 was hit by continuous cannon shells, leaving a large gap, and the Thinker indicated that the steering rudder was damaged.

The female pilot was sweating profusely. She tried her best and successfully intercepted two torpedoes and several bombers. Finally, she shot down two Daka fighters that were biting her tail.

She had squeezed the performance limits of this faulty fighter.

The warning of the promethium float failure popped up on the screen again, and the combat capability of the aircraft was almost at its lowest point.

Red light flashed inside the machine, alarms rang, and everything in front of her was dyed red.

She chuckled and took off her helmet, revealing her long, wavy dark brown hair.

"Then, little captain, please continue to move forward in the future.

It's a good thing you didn't fall in love with an Imperial Navy pilot."

Fasha looked at the images coming from the camera at the rear of the aircraft, and the Daka fighter that was biting its tail opened fire again.

"Good night."
