Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 554 06.0553: "We will once again work together to overcome difficulties"

Under the command of Prepare to Attack, additional armor plates will be lowered in various parts of the battleship, and electronic countermeasures equipment will be enabled to achieve the effect of "armor value +20/damage reduction 25%, enemy hit rate -20%/defense turret accuracy +50%".

Simply put, it makes the Epic more sturdy and durable!

Beams of blue light shot rapidly at the side of the Epic, causing the void shield to splash with blue ripples.

Under the continuous attacks, the Void Shield soon changed from blue to red, which was a sign of impending overload.

It can't last much longer.

"Supercharge the Void Shield!"

"Leave it to the Epic's chief technical team, Captain." Latti's voice came from the sound array.

"Helmsman, turn the rudder to the right! Power department, afterburner, sail at full speed! Rushing into the gas cloud 86 kilometers away!"

"Yes, Captain! Right rudder full!"

"Engine group! Afterburner activated! Engine function overload!"

The slender Epic turned in the air, and the bright blue light gushing out from the powerful stern engine group expanded instantly, making her appear extremely dazzling in this airspace.

"Commander, Ether asked us to give him a chance." The frigate commander stood on the command bridge, looking at the ripples on the Epic's void shield, and his adjutant reminded him.

"Don't worry, he still has his shield, right?" The one-eyed commander sneered, "This is a threatening shot. Invade the enemy's communication network immediately."

"Yes, the governor is indeed wise!"

The Epic could only try its best to escape along the way. The hull was shaking all over from the violent blows. Once the void shield was broken, the Epic would suffer structural damage.

The super charging device was activated by Lati, and the void shield began to shine. During this period of time, the Epic was in a relatively safe situation.

But once the super-charging time is over, the fate of the Epic will depend on Horatio's command.

"Received the alien invasion signal!" the communications officer said without waiting for him to finish.

"Long time no see, opponent." A one-eyed iconic Tau face appeared in front of Horatio: "You are, Horatio Cochrane? What a young human."

"Tau frigate, how did you find us?" Horatio asked in a calm yet sharp tone.

"Even on a planet controlled by hostile beings, there are still people who are inspired by the Greater Good. When your warships were parked in the orbit of Basor, they were reported to us by observation spies on the ground. Unfortunately, those brave Guvisas died under your brutal methods."

"They deserved to die. I even think I let them die too easily." Horatio sneered in response.

The Tau escapade commander gritted his teeth maliciously when he heard his joking tone and disregard for life.

"Our fleet has infiltrated and surrounded your warship. According to our intelligence, your warship can only sail in the physical universe. You have no chance in this battle. In the name of the Greater Good, disarm and submit to us, and you will survive."

"I am not interested in your proposal. If you tell me clearly how you found out about my voyage, I might consider it." Horatio said cunningly, "Those dead spies would not tell you about my current voyage plan, would they?"

Strict radiation control was implemented during the Epic's sea trial, and no communications could be sent out, and there were no records of long-wave radio waves in the communication logs.

Therefore, Horatio deduced that the traitor must not have come from within the Epic.

Since it is not in the epic account, what went wrong?

Horatio thought about it.

On the Epic's voyage to Zhendan, the only friendly ship it encountered was the attack ship E-110, which was the attack ship that was rescued by itself after being besieged by the Tau Empire.

They saluted the Epic and then sailed along for a while in the name of escort.

It was also at that time that he ordered the end of the first-level combat alert, allowing the officers to withdraw from the actual combat exercise and take a rest.

[Could it really be the E-110 attack ship?] Horatio examined the only possibility he had deduced, but he did not want to easily doubt the friendly forces of the Bacca fleet.

"Don't try to get any information from us, you hostile person, we won't tell you.

I have given you a chance. If you don't obey, don't blame me for killing you."

After that, the commander of the commerce-breaking operation said to the person beside him: "Launch air-blast anti-submarine missiles."

Whoosh whoosh.

Three missiles were fired from the launch ports and rushed towards the Epic.

At this time, the Epic had already entered the thick gas cloud layer and was about to activate the shadow field. When the shadow field covered the entire Epic ship, the three Seeker missiles quickly lost their target.

But this time, they did not run around like headless flies as they did before.

A missile exploded in the air far away from the Epic's final position, and shrapnel hit the Epic's hull like raindrops, causing the ship to shake violently.

Inside Farida's incubator.

"What happened?" She heard the uneasy thumping of the hull, and her emerald eyes looked in panic at the shaking surroundings.

"It's okay, Commissioner Hood, please trust the captain. Hold my hand, everything will be fine." Sister Arabella half-knelt beside Farida's bed and let Farida hold her hand.

"Uh..." Suddenly, at this moment, she felt a bloating and pain in her abdomen.

The swelling and pain continued to spread downwards, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she screamed in pain.

"This feels like... my child?"

Arabella quickly stood up and checked Farida's lower body. Amniotic fluid had vaguely seeped out, but this was not a sign of amniotic fluid rupture, but a sign of natural birth.

She calculated with her fingers and decided that it was almost time. It was possible to be a little earlier. It was not premature birth. It was a healthy natural birth. It was just that the timing and place were not right.

"Sisters! Quick! Commissioner Hood is about to give birth! Come over and give her a hand!"

Sister Arabella exerted her strength immediately and laid Farida flat. She knelt on her knees under the woman's crotch and began to prepare to welcome a new life.

A group of pure angels became busy, even the court official herself came. She directly secured Farida to prevent her from being affected by the shaking of the ship caused by the frequent explosions.

There were many babies delivered by nuns, and some by combat nuns, but there were only a handful of children in the empire who were treated like this by a group of "holy maidens" called pure angels.

On the bridge of the Epic, Horatio shouted, gave orders, and directed the battle.

The slender warships shuttled through the gas clouds, using the large asteroids floating around them to avoid incoming attacks.

The Tau Empire also upgraded the characteristics of their attack ships, creating new air-burst missiles with larger charges and greater shockwave damage.

Although only one or two shots have been fired so far, the consequences have allowed the Epic to still hold on, but once the frequency of the explosions really increases, the slender hull will soon be cracked one after another by the impact until it disintegrates and collapses.

It is an AOE range weapon that can kill attacking ships with shock waves without direct hits, just like a depth charge.

Its design concept is both exquisite and simple.

"Although I can't find your location, I know you are right there. If I can't shoot you, I will use a ten-fold explosive shock wave to blow you apart."

boom!
A near miss bomb exploded near the Epic, causing violent irregular vibrations that tore a crack in the middle hull of the Epic.

The damage control team set out immediately to control the damaged area and carry out emergency repairs to stop the leak.

In the delivery room, this near miss caused the two angels who had just come running with warm water to tremble in their feet. They bumped into each other and rolled into a ball without balance. The warm water spilled all over them, and the basin even fell on one of them's head.

"Sorry, we will restart immediately..."

boom!
"Ah!" The two nuns had just stood up when they encountered the second round of explosion. Before they could stand firmly, they fell to the ground again.

The court officer, wearing power armor, used all his strength to hold Farida between soft blankets to prevent her and the child from being affected by the vibration.

However, resisting the external force in this way also caused the old wound on her head to bleed.

Blood dripped down her face onto Farida's round belly and slid towards where the fetus was born.

Command bridge.

"Father Lati." Horatio said with a gloomy face and sweat on his forehead: "The situation is urgent, we must make an emergency subspace jump!"

"But, Captain, this has not yet been verified..."

"Latti, we can't take care of so much now, make preparations immediately, please."

"Got it, Captain." Letty's face immediately turned serious. It seemed that it was the first time that Horatio saw her look so serious.

Then, Horatio continued to return to the realm of the machine spirit. He looked at the girl in front of him with a painful expression and took her hand.

"Once again, Epic, we will get through this together."
