Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 472 06.0471: "Deadly Blow"

In the void, the sudden attack caused chaos among the Tau ships that were encircling the E-110 attack ship.

They made an emergency evasive move, but due to the technical priests' sophisticated manipulation and 'deception', one of their destroyers was destroyed.

While the other two ships were making emergency evasive maneuvers, they used the ion close-in defense guns on their hulls to fire at the oncoming torpedoes.

A Helios torpedo exploded in mid-air, and the shattered projectile left several unnecessary scratches on the warship's hull.

Another torpedo was fired into the air and then tried to turn to another target, but the opponent happened to be facing the bow of the ship and fired a heavy seeker missile while maneuvering.

The missile and torpedo collided with each other, creating a brilliant fire of gold and blue, as colorful and dazzling as the stars in the sky.

The firelight was reflected in Horatio's eyes as he watched the enemy's counterattack calmly and calmly.

"Second one, ready."

"Preheating of the No. 4 torpedo engine is complete!"

"Open the slide cover of torpedo silo No. 4!"

"Wait for my orders. E-99 and E-46 will lead the attack."

The surviving Castle Lord-class frigate and Warden-class destroyer immediately began to counterattack the attackers. They turned on active detection waves and almost instantly discovered the E-96 'Epic' and E-46 attack ships hiding in the thin gas cloud.

Because E-99 arrived first, it had more time to coordinate its combat position, so it was better hidden in the gas cloud, and with the help of the shadow field, it was not discovered by this detection wave.

But at this point, it doesn't matter whether you are discovered or not.

With the shadow field still in effect, even if the relative positions of the Epic and E-46 were discovered, it would take some time to accurately aim at them.

The Epic started its engine and moved forward slowly at a speed of five void knots. At this speed, although the warship maneuvered slowly, the heat radiation from the stern heat nozzle would not have too much impact on the shadow field.

The two Tau ships opened fire with a salvo from one side in the general direction of the Epic, and fired a salvo from the other side at the E-46.

In the first round of shooting, only one railgun shell passed right by the hull, rubbing against the Epic's armor plate. Although it ricocheted, it still scared the nearby crew members, who were terrified by the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting.

Horatio used the void sandbox and the neural plug to convey the steering instructions to the helmsman and made precise micro-maneuvers.

This is the unique sensitivity of a small warship, and its flexible maneuverability allows the tiny scales on the steering wheel to be utilized.

This was something that the Indefatigable, a battlecruiser, could not do. For such a large ship of nearly 30 million tons, there were only two options: full rudder to the left or full rudder to the right.

However, given the size and combat effectiveness of the battlecruiser Indefatigable, such delicate operations are not necessary.

Just do it!

There are not many warships in the galaxy with firepower stronger than hers. Battleship-level warships will only appear in major battles in the human empire, not to mention the aliens and Chaos rebels.

As a battlecruiser, it is no exaggeration to say that she alone, combined with her escort fleet, can handle more than 90% of military conflicts in the galaxy.

However, flexible micro-management is very necessary for warships such as attack ships that rely on stealth and maneuverability to survive.

Faced with the oncoming attack, the Epic still did not open fire.

And E-46 fired the torpedo according to Horatio's markings.

This confusing operation made the captain of the Tau Empire wonder if he was being interfered with by the radar. There were clearly two identical targets, but only one battleship opened fire.

Could one of them be a false alarm? How could the human empire have something that could interfere with advanced radar?

A huge amount of doubts emerged in the long, flat head of the Qi clan captain.

However, this was exactly the deception Horatio had devised for the Tau.

The two enemy ships' attention was attracted by E-46 and turned accordingly. The railguns on the ship turned and aimed at the 'real target', the E-46 attack ship.

Suddenly, E-99 and E-96 fired a torpedo each at the same time, striking the two enemy ships at right angles.

This operation would not work for the Tau captain.

Before the next round of railgun fire could be fired, they immediately ordered the ship to maneuver.

Two wire-guided torpedoes came flying at high speed, and when they were about to hit the Castle Lord-class frigate, the Castle Lord made an evasive maneuver, performing an almost unbalanced rotation to avoid the impact.

Seeing that the target had avoided his torpedo with a delicate maneuver, Horatio ordered Latti to immediately direct the torpedo towards another target.

This Warden-class destroyer, which was attacked from the side and back, was trying to avoid the torpedoes fired by E-99 and had no time to pay attention to the torpedoes fired by E-96.

"Die, you greedy alien."

Horatio gritted his teeth.

The torpedoes fired by E-99 and E-96 hit the Warden-class destroyer almost at the same time, piercing into the body of the destroyer from one side to the other.

With a painful explosion, two torpedoes instantly tore the entire ship into pieces, leaving only a dazzling pale spherical explosion point on the starry sky.

Seeing their compatriots on the two ships being torn to pieces, the only remaining Castle Lord-class frigate fell into great grief and anger.

The captain roared, demanding that the pilot rush to the final position of the E-96 Epic at all costs.

The launch bays of the two heavy-duty Seeker missiles were fully opened, ready for a fight to the death.

"Captain, the enemy ship is charging towards me! All missile bays are open."

"Our ship's No. 1 and No. 2 torpedoes are being maintained! The No. 3 torpedo compartment is being reloaded, and only the No. 4 torpedo is available."

"Warm up! Quick!" Horatio shouted, with a trace of cold sweat running down his temples.

The heavy seeker missile has two modes: passive and active radar guidance. It will first lock on and launch through the radar of the alien ship, and then turn on the active radar after approaching the target, most accurately lock the target's final position, adjust the course, and achieve a precise strike.

One shot of its equivalent is enough to severely damage the Epic, while two shots are enough to tear the Epic to pieces on the spot.

"Warm up! Quick!"

In the torpedo room, the boatswain's shouting and urging were heard constantly, which made the technical priest in charge of maintenance dissatisfied, because this disrupted the rhythm of the prayer and the torpedo preheating was slower than normal.

That’s right, Torpedo’s violent machine soul has a ‘morning grump’!
"We have to hurry!" Louise shouted to the sound array, her purple eyes fixed on the dark missile silo of the enemy ship, and her breathing stopped unconsciously.

"Forgive me, but the servants of Om Messiah need careful comfort. We are working hard to perform the necessary rituals and prayers to ensure the normal launch of the torpedo."

"Never mind the damn prayers, just fire!" Horatio shouted, waving his hands.

Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, took a deep breath, waved his hand and clicked on the empty sand table: "Torpedo launch is temporarily suspended, normal preheating."

On the enemy ship.

"Die, hostile ones, for the Greater Good!" the captain shouted, and the heavy Seeker missiles were ready to be launched.

"Kan#feng, the enemy torpedo is approaching. We didn't detect it immediately because we just passed through the gas cloud!"

"what?!"

The captain leaned on his cane and looked to the side. The Tau Empire crew members below were in chaos, watching the powerful short-burned torpedoes charging towards them at full speed, with fear in their eyes.

Just now, Horatio keenly discovered through the void sandbox that there was an additional attack ship in his command sequence.

And this is the long-awaited E-48 attack ship.

Under the highlighted prompt given by Horatio, although there was a gas cloud blocking the way ahead, the E-48 still used Horatio's unique 'A shoot B guide' method to allow the E-48 attack ship to successfully fire a torpedo and throw a deadly 'harpoon' at the last fish that wanted to fight to the death.
