Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 471 06.0470: "Wolf Pack Besieging Shepherd Dog"

"Captain, the latest communication from the E-110 attack ship." Lina operated the Thinker array in front of her, her clear eyes looking at the cathode ray tube screen that was constantly transmitting information upwards.

"Please read."

"Calling surrounding Imperial Navy units, the E-110 attack ship has been attacked by an enemy ship and is unable to overload and self-destruct due to a malfunction.

Now our ship has suffered heavy casualties, and we are not sure if there are any friendly forces around. Before the final fate comes, we can still hold on for the last half of Terra. By then, we will destroy the code book and the cipher machine. The E-110 attack ship will live up to the Emperor's wish and fight to the last man.

May the Lord of mankind bless us and save our souls..."

Inside the E-110 attack ship.

The injured officer remained silent as he typed on the cipher machine, sending out the message word by word. The one-armed captain behind him was still holding on to his breath, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Whether we decide to find another way or not, at least this last communication must show our loyalty and there must not be any sign of wavering between the lines."

His face was as pale as paper due to blood loss. He glanced at the cold body of the Military Supervisory Commissioner beside him and gave an ugly bitter smile, as if he might fall down in the next second.

"We must not let our relatives and friends be targeted by those mad dogs. We must behave like martyrs. As for the rest, we will leave it to fate..."

"Understood, Captain. The signal has been sent."

Epic number.

Lina looked at the captain and nodded to indicate that this was the full text.

"Captain, the situation is very bad." Farida said solemnly with her slender hand on the bolt pistol:
"Should we respond to the E-110 attack ship to strengthen their will to resist?"

"Do not."

Horatio frowned and refused resolutely: "We are already very close. Even if it is an encrypted message, the signal will still be monitored. As long as the communication is monitored, these aliens will know we are coming, which will increase the difficulty of our next action."

At this time, the Epic implemented communication control, and the same was true for other attack ships that had gathered to support it. There was no communication between them, and they rushed towards the target point at full speed according to the pre-planned route.

"In this case, we don't have much time." Farida took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Captain, how long will it take us to reach the ideal combat position?"

"22 minutes! Captain!"

"What is the latest arrival time of the other attack ships in the First Attack Squadron?"

"The farthest one is the E-48 attack ship. It's expected to take at least thirty minutes, Captain!"

Horatio sighed.

"If it doesn't work, my ship and the assembled attack ships will launch the attack first."

"But we don't know if we are the fastest. We hope that there are others who can arrive earlier." Louise said with concentration, praying for the blessing of the Emperor of God for the E-110 attack ship in her heart.

Just as the bridge was filled with an anxious and uneasy atmosphere.

"Captain! Direction 12! A Fury interceptor has been spotted!"

The lookout officer's report made everyone on the bridge look towards direction 12.

The radiation-controlled Fury interceptor operated the small, dim signal lights on its wings, using primitive but effective light language to send a message to the Epic.

First mate Collingwood quickly interpreted the light signals.

"Captain! Captain Otto Kretschmer reports that the E-99 has arrived at its combat position and has visually confirmed three small enemy ships, a Castle Lord-class frigate and two Warden-class destroyers!"

"Well done! Kretschmer!"

Horatio clenched his fist and threw it forward in relief.

"When our ship arrives, we can start a cross attack with the E-99 attack ship! Buy time for the E-110 attack ship."
-
"Did you receive a reply..."

"No, Captain, we have ten minutes left."

"..."

After a moment of silence, the captain of the E-110 finally spoke: "In the last ten minutes, the Emperor will give us an answer and decide whether to abandon us, the currency, beyond His glory."

Everyone was silently waiting for the time to pass. During this time, the E-110 attack ship was still under attack, and every piece of armor on the ship was shaking and groaning.

Its flanks were pierced and its deep compartments collapsed.

The flames spread in the cabins and corridors. The manifold was operating at maximum power for firefighting, but it was still difficult to extinguish the fire inside the ship.

The intense burning made any damage control actions without external assistance seem so ineffective and a desperate struggle.

After sending the message of persuasion to surrender, facing the silence of no news, the Tau Empire also made its own response. Three small warships increased their firepower coverage on the gas cloud, and the attack ship was shaken again.

"Captain! The E-110 attack ship is about to collapse."

"Destroy the code books and cipher machines immediately. We must not let the aliens get these devices! Let the armed sailors install thermal bombs in the power compartment. If the aliens board the ship, we will die together with them!" As if he had finally accepted his fate, the captain leaned on the command throne, and with his only remaining arm he began to grope for the double-headed eagle emblem on his chest with difficulty, to ensure that he could pull it off at any time.

His gloomy eyes quickly scanned the people on the bridge who were still breathing, and based on his daily understanding of them, he quickly selected candidates who could serve as companions.

The fewer people who know about and participate in what happens next, the better, even though there is almost no possibility of other Imperial naval forces being nearby.

Just as the officers and soldiers on the attack ship E-110 were preparing to face their final moments, the lookout officer on the bridge observed the situation from the gas cloud on the opposite side and shouted excitedly.

"Torpedo spotted!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the captain stopped what he was doing.

"Whose torpedo?"

The lookout officer suppressed his trembling body and observed carefully for a while, finally confirming the Sky Eagle inscription on the projectile.

"It's the Imperial Navy's torpedoes, it's our torpedoes!"

"It's a friendly ship! We are saved."

As soon as a flashing torpedo is fired, the Tau Empire warships with better reconnaissance capabilities will naturally find this conspicuous target on the spherical holographic cloud map.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

But they only detected the torpedo and did not find the attacker.

"Kan # Feng, the enemy's accomplice, the torpedo is approaching our port side."

"Perform a turnaround maneuver immediately."

"Kan#bong, another hostile torpedo!"

"What??"

"No, it's three shots!"

The continuous unexpected news stunned the captains of the Tau Empire.

Three wire-guided torpedoes were seen attacking the three destroyers that were surrounding the E-110 attack ship from three directions.

Although defensive maneuvers were immediately carried out and jammers were fired, the torpedoes were not affected at all and continued to stare at their targets.

They pursued the destroyer, and with the aid of wire guidance the masters of the three torpedoes were immune to the machinations of the Tau Empire.

The destroyer that first discovered the enemy urgently used its evasive force, and the first torpedo passed by the edge of the destroyer.

She thought she had escaped with luck, but this maneuver played right into the second attacker's hands.

Father Latti smiled grimly. Although the second torpedo she fired was dodged by another frigate, it headed straight for the destroyer.

Horatio stood on the command bridge, holding a telescope, observing the implementation of his battle plan.

Through his command, he silently coordinated the three attack ships that were already in position in the void sandbox and launched an attack at the same time.

E-99、E-46、E96处在E-110号攻击舰的179、263、83三处，四艘战舰的相对位置近乎T字形，E-110号位于字母T横竖交叉的位置。

The attack ship E-110, which was in the gas cloud opposite the attack ship E-99, took the lead in launching the attack.

Then Horatio's E-96 attacked from the side, and finally the E-46, which launched a new round of attack after a short delay.

Three torpedoes were fired one after another, and all were wire-guided, just covering three enemy ships that were less than 500 kilometers apart.

"3, 2, 1"

He chanted silently.

"0."

The unremarkable numbers passed through his mind when the count was over.

boom--

A fiery firework exploded in the void. The destroyer that thought it had escaped was hit directly by a plasma warhead in the vital part of its structure. The expanding fireball pulled out her "heart" from the middle of the manta ray-shaped hull. After being torn into pieces, the charred and deformed wreckage drifted away.

The survivors on the bridge of the E-110 stared in amazement at this perfectly coordinated attack.

After hearing about the outstanding achievements of the First Attack Squadron, these crew members also wanted to get a piece of the pie, but were besieged. They finally witnessed the strength of the First Attack Squadron.

Even if Horatio hadn't introduced himself, the crew on the E-110 could guess that it was the young major with outstanding achievements who had arrived.

Because no one except him could plan such a thorough encirclement and suppression operation. Those rookie squadrons who had just entered the battlefield could not carry out such an attack. Only the man who had destroyed more than ten merchant ships behind the enemy lines and made almost all the attack ship captains regard him as a target to chase could do it.

"Confirmed! The enemy ship was destroyed by my torpedo!" Louise shouted and reported.

Horatio snorted with satisfaction.
