Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 418 05.0417: "It's a bit early to say goodnight"

zizi.

Just as Fasha was about to press the throttle and crash into the green aircraft, a reassuring voice came from the sound array.

"It is ten o'clock in the morning on Terra, Captain Farsha, it is a little early to say goodnight."

Only a shadow passed by, and two beams of light destroyed the fighter plane that was approaching.

The fighter plane piloted by Horatio was like a flying bird in an empty space. It was so agile that it didn't seem like a machine. It was like an angel in the void. No matter how hard the green-skinned Daka fighter jets following closely behind chased him, they could not hit him, but he could easily destroy all obstacles in front of him.

What was even more surprising was that Fasha clearly saw from the communication holographic image that he was not holding the joystick with his hands, but the joystick was moving by itself.

The fighter plane seemed to come alive. The front and rear sensors on the fuselage were like open eyes, turning nimbly and always able to observe the surrounding battle situation at the first time.

The only thing he did was to insert the synapses extending from the tips of his iron fingers into the mechano-meditator array.

"Keep fighting, Fasha. I don't remember you giving up and lying down to rest."

Horatio's voice rang out clearly through the electromagnetic interference.

"Come, form a two-machine formation with me, and no one of us will die today."

Horatio circled around Fasha's machine and intercepted an enemy plane that attacked from the side, giving her some usable maneuvering distance.

When Eagle No. 1 regained power again, the two aircraft coordinated in flight and launched another interception operation against the bomber.

Around the Indefatigable, two Sword-class escort ships had been blown up by the greenskins' bombs and their hulls were on fire. The damage control team used high-pressure water guns to inject fire-fighting foam into the affected parts.

The shapes, sizes and charges of the green bombs were completely different, but for some reason the honey-like ingredient caused considerable damage to ships.

Two fighter planes took off into the sky. Fasha was determined to carry out the mission of intercepting the bomber formation, while Horatio shot down all the interfering Daka fighters around her.

His aircraft flew in a beautiful curve and turned freely, like an aerial dancer, performing turns, high and low yoyos, barrel rolls, deflection turns, and many other maneuvers with ease. The green-skinned flying boy was struggling to catch up with him, but in return he was shot one by one by his exquisite maneuvers.

"This is the Indefatigable's Aviation Department. The Fury Squadron has been prepared and is taking off." Archie's voice came from the communication device.

After the battle in the outer orbit of Farr, he is now a mature and experienced commander. Horatio did not give any instructions for this operation, and everything was completed by Collingwood alone.

The Defiant-class Ikaros Storm also released all of its carrier-based aircraft, including Starhawks equipped with anti-aircraft missiles.

A fierce air battle broke out around the Indefatigable.

The Imperial Navy deployed almost all of its rapid reaction forces to deal with these heinous sneak attacks lurking around Mandeville Point.

During the air battle, Horatio vaguely saw a huge dark shadow in the gas cloud from the cabin.

He would not make a mistake; it was the broken stone of the greenskins, which looked like it had suffered considerable damage in the battle with the demon ship.

"All ships, detect the enemy ship target hidden in the void cloud."

Two Voss-class light cruisers in better condition immediately bypassed the stern of the Indefatigable and headed for the location marked by Horatio.

Diddoo!

When a leading Cobra Widowmaker-class destroyer sent out an invisible reconnaissance detection wave, the enemy situation within a radius of 2,000 kilometers was immediately visible on the tactical ship operation map.

"Tsk!"

The green battleship discovered the changes of the Imperial Navy through the lookout device and immediately realized that the sneak attack had failed.

The warships of the Imperial Navy are searching towards them.

"withdraw!"

This cunning greenskin warrior did not act like the usual greenskins and rashly fight to the death with the Imperial Navy. Instead, he issued a timely order to retreat.

Just at this moment, a noisy signal was transmitted to Dashi's command platform.

"Who are you?" Kaguk asked the guy in the projection whose face was blurry but had two pairs of large fangs on the left and right, and looked very powerful at first glance.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but your decision is important. The biggest Waaaaaagh in history is calling you. If you are ready, then fight me!"

"The biggest Waaaaaagh in history?" The greenskin warlord scratched his head and thought.

"Hehehehehehehehe!" A cunning laugh came from the tattered sound array.

The cunning and cruelty contained in this laughter made the green-skinned pirate leader wearing a captain's hat laugh along. Soon, the green-skinned ambush fleet began to turn sharply and headed towards the distant land of the dark void.

"Boss Kaguk! We haven't boarded the boat yet! Wait for us! We want to participate in the biggest Waaaaaaagh!!!"

The flying boys driving the Boom bombers and Daka fighters shouted and gave up the sneak attack on the Imperial Navy fleet. They turned around and rushed towards the distant greenskin fleet, spewing tail smoke filled with fuel impurities.

Horatio destroyed the plane in front of him, and then chased after it and broke the wing of another Daka fighter.

After solving the current trouble, he looked at the greenskin fleet flying away and frowned unconsciously.

Come to think of it... it seems like there aren't many years left until the Third Battle of Armageddon... and these guys have become so rampant.

He vowed silently in his heart that he would definitely eliminate these guys if he encountered them next time.

The next time he sees these hateful and cunning greenskins, he will make them pay the heaviest price.

"This is the acting captain. The enemy has retreated. The threat to the flagship has been lifted. The escort fleet will maintain peripheral alert. The remaining fighters will return immediately. After all the capital ships have made a subspace jump, the escort squadron will make the final jump."

Horatio, the captain of the flagship, issued an order, and each unit began to return to the ship in an orderly manner.

The Eagle-1 backup aircraft and the Eagle-1 were parked in the same shuttle apron.

So after covering Fasha's damaged spare plane to enter and being towed to the rear lift and maintenance platform, Horatio slowly returned and stopped steadily on the main dock under the control of the tractor beam.

Fasha opened the cockpit. She was breathing heavily, her long wavy hair wet with sweat stuck to her face and neck. Her hands were still shaking with fear, and her whole body was still in a sensitive state with adrenaline running high.

When she saw Horatio driving a fighter plane in and preparing to get off, she flipped out of the fighter plane and pounced on him as he got off the ground.

The elder sister jumped directly into his arms.

"Welcome back, Captain." Horatio smiled crookedly, "I thought you said 'good night' too early."

He raised an eyebrow.

The female pilot snorted and laughed: "No, now is 'night'."

She pulled him into the cabin of Skyhawk 40. As a -meter-long void fighter, it had everything the crew members needed for life, including a small lounge with a bed.

She pushed him down on the bed and then rode on him.

Horatio tried to sit up, but she pushed him down again.

Then, she raised her slender fingers and impatiently unzipped the collar of her flight jacket.

"I think I should reconsider our official relationship."

She smiled with flushed cheeks.

He threw his faded flight jacket aside.

Soon, beautiful exotic vocals echoed in the small but passionate lounge, bringing Horatio's expedition to the planet of Farr to a perfect end.

Afterwards, Horatio received the latest battle situation on the planet Far on his battleship.

The military talent of the new commander appointed by the Ministry of the Interior was obviously inferior to his political skills.

After he took over, the British First Brigade went from being the vanguard in all the war zones across the planet to being the last force in the southern war zone to reach the central hive group, and it suffered considerable losses on the way.

After suffering a heavy defeat in an offensive and defensive battle in which 60,000 people were killed or wounded but insufficient results were achieved, this man was executed by firing squad for dereliction of duty by the Military Supervisory Committee.

When Sir Wellesley was once again entrusted with the task of commanding the 1st Brigade, he took over the task again.

At this time, this powerful British army was already a mess with low morale, incomplete organization and heavy casualties.

But he still relied on his command ability to turn the tide, and finally captured the stronghold that he had failed to capture at the cost of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

However, even so, the cost of the battle on Far Star was reduced from the original plan of investing 70 Star Army troops to capture it within two years.

Due to the Ministry of the Interior's sudden change of leadership before the war, it ended up with 150 million people deployed, and it took nearly four years to capture the ground part of the central hive group, with 46% of the high-value industrial areas being completely destroyed.

The remaining alien spores and heresy problems on the planet Far were not completely resolved until M42, and became a stubborn problem that caused endless troubles and headaches.

However, the expansion of the Hell Gate was suppressed, which reduced a lot of trouble for the Imperial defenders guarding the dark side in the future of the Empire in M42 Indomitable Era.

But that’s all in the past.
