Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 444 06.0443: "Wolf among the Sheep"

Skyhawk 1 shut down all its signal sources and quietly moved to the back of the planet under the cover of ships parked in orbit, hoping to avoid possible radar detection by the enemy.

"Fashya, Fashya, look at that!"

When the fighter plane circled the semi-arc of the sphere, the sharp-eyed Veronica had already seen a long line of Merchant-class transport ships, which were transporting the loaded troops to the planet under the escort of several frigates and destroyers.

"Oh no! It's an alien transport fleet! We must report to the commander immediately!"

"Hey, wait, that's... the Epic?"

Veronica was about to turn back to send a signal and looked at the three attack ships following behind in surprise. She suppressed her doubts and continued her stealth flight.

With the help of the Void Commander, Horatio did not need to wait for the carrier-based aircraft to return and send out signal lights to know the situation like other warships.

Within the entire skill range, any target detected by allied warships or fighter jets will appear in his mind in real time.

This skill can also be connected to the battleship through the command throne to assist him in controlling the battleship.

As the results of the lookout observations were imported, the Tau Empire warships that were visually searching for the enemy had been taken into account one by one, and the officers were busy calculating the attack parameters.

"Hold steady and follow my instructions." He looked toward the higher plane through the porthole above his head. The Doomsday Eagle Regiment's strike cruiser and two Dagger escort ships were sailing from the higher plane toward the back of the planet.

The Astartes had their captains turn on their POV radars to lure the Tau escort ships out of formation and swarm them.

"May the Astartes give these xenos a good beating. Confirming the real-time location of E47 and E48."

“E47舰于我舰243方向，后方5公里。E48舰位于我舰170方向，后方3公里。”

"Send the flag signal and change to a triangle attack formation. The speed of the formation will be reduced to 1/3 of the speed. Our ship will be responsible for attacking the enemy's mid-stage transport ships, the E48 ship will be responsible for attacking the ships around the low-Earth orbit, and the E47 will attack the rear-stage transport ships.

Each torpedo is aimed at a different target, first paralyze it! Then sink it! "Horatio issued the final order for the formation to fight.

When the "sheepdogs" had almost walked away, the three attack ships that maintained full-band silence also gradually reduced their speed and arrived at the designated combat position with the highest efficiency.

Through the void sandbox, Horatio has seen the current situation clearly.

The Imperial Army transport fleet and the Tau Empire Armed Forces transport fleet were on opposite sides of the planet and were simultaneously delivering troops to the planet Basol.

Perhaps it was the work of spies, or perhaps it was due to other reasons, the Tau Empire's combat command had already learned of the Empire's plan to land and fight for Basor, and sent reinforcements.

But they did not expect that the Imperial Army would arrive so quickly under the escort of the Imperial Navy.

The Tau Empire's armed forces, which had originally planned to send reinforcements in advance and strengthen their defenses in preparation for the Imperial Army, were caught off guard and landed on the same day as the Imperial Army, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out as soon as they landed.

"Captain, the launch advances for the four torpedoes have been calculated." Torpedo officer Fideo pressed the last button on the torpedo calculator and reported.

"Wait for my command."

Second mate Louise and first mate Archie looked at each other, not quite understanding what the captain was thinking.

"Captain, the four torpedo silos at the bow have been preheated."

"I know, Louise, but we have to wait for the three attack ships to come around from the other side. The six attack ships will form a 'Void Wolf Pack' and launch a fierce attack together. This will cause a devastating surprise attack on the enemy."

Louise's previous doubts were resolved, but new doubts arose.

How did Horatio know where the three attack ships that had circled around the planet had arrived at?
Through the void sandbox, Horatio concentrated on observing the real-time positions of all parties in the void battle.

When the three attack ships on the back arrived at the location, the captains of the three attack ships were surprised to find the enemy ships with red outlines on the outer perimeter of the ships. "What is that?" Captain Pierre was a little stunned. After a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly remembered that the young squadron commander had said during the previous war situation meeting, "If you see the red outline of the enemy, you don't need to report it or ask questions. It is the enemy ship mark, just launch an attack directly!"

"Torpedo No. 7005, No. 7007, No. 7009, and No. 7010 are starting to warm up! Torpedo No. target, ! Torpedo No. target, ! Torpedo No. target, ! Torpedo No. target, !"

Horatio held the telescope and looked calmly at the transport fleet of the Tau Empire. Countless small landing ships were transporting rows of armed troops and their vassal troops to the ground.

"The bow torpedo engines are all ready to go and preheated!"

"Right now." He continued to hold the telescope and spoke calmly.

"Adjust all torpedo speeds to 50 void knots. Launch torpedo number three and four first. Delay for 10 seconds before launching torpedo number one and two."

The targets of the No. 10 and No. torpedoes were farther away. According to his mental calculations, a delay of seconds would allow the four torpedoes to hit the target in the same time period, maximizing the effect of the raid.

"Fire torpedo number three and four!"

The bow torpedo well slide cover has been retracted.

As the engineers led by Lati finished the necessary prayers to the God of All Machines, the prosthetic limbs behind her operated the Meditator array on the torpedo launcher, silently reciting the "Hymn of Fury", and the tail of the torpedo whose engine had been preheated immediately burst into flames and shot out from the torpedo shaft as big as a house.

Tau Empire warship.

"Kan#feng! Hostile torpedoes appeared on the starboard side of our ship!" a radar operator reported to the Air caste captain.

"What? Why is there a hostile warship on the starboard side? The radar shows no signal!"

"Torpedo spotted on the port side!
Correction! Hostile torpedoes spotted on both port and starboard!!"

The bridge of the Tau Empire Merchant-class transport aircraft, which exuded a technological blue light, fell into a brief commotion and panic.

They didn't know how the Empire's torpedoes suddenly appeared from both sides.

Moreover, these transport planes are in a parked state, releasing the armed forces inside.

The Merchant-class had a slow speed and sluggish engine afterburner. The total distance from the launch of this torpedo to its impact was less than 300 kilometers, and it was simply unable to make any effective evasive maneuvers against the speeding Helios short-burning torpedoes.

There were only two Orca-class destroyers nearby, firing their ion close-in defense guns in vain at the torpedoes.

But they had no idea that there was a terrible Void Killer hiding nearby. When the torpedo was fired and then intercepted and locked by the radar and confirmed to be an Imperial torpedo, it was too late to intercept it.

Four Merchant-class cargo ships were directly hit amidships, and the huge nuclear detonation torpedoes ruthlessly tore the carrier compartments of the ships from the middle.

The Tau Empire armed forces and their armor transported in the cargo hold were reduced to ashes in just a moment without firing a single shot.

"Captain, all four torpedoes hit the target!"

As Louise finished her words, torpedoes fired from other ships exploded with golden fireworks in the Tau Empire fleet.

Even the first two merchant-class cargo ships that had already released their landing troops and turned around empty were not spared.

The wolf pack of six attack ships efficiently implemented Horatio's order to "paralyze the enemy first, then sink it."

"Reload quickly! Some of the enemy cargo ships have already started their engines, don't let them escape!"

Horatio, wearing a wide-brimmed white hat, still held the telescope and shouted calmly. He did not want to miss the opportunity to witness the results of the battle.
