Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 774 08.773: "Bear the wrath of the Divine Emperor Sky Eagle! Alien!"

The Eldar value mobility, so when building ships, they tend to sacrifice defense for flexibility.

In contrast, the Imperial Navy's ship-borne weapons, which emphasize conventional power, can penetrate and pierce the Eldar ships sharply, like a megalodon biting bones, and then tear off a large piece of the hull, as if tearing off the "flesh and blood" of the ship.

Flames burst out from the enemy ship's hull, and violent explosions echoed in the thin artificial atmosphere nearby.

In the light of the fire, Horatio and the officers and soldiers on the bridge finally saw the true face of the attacker.

It was a slender, javelin-shaped hull, and what was particularly striking was the huge, long, sharp blades installed just below the back and abdomen of the hull.

These giant blades emit a cold and dangerous light in the void. Any ship that is scratched by them will inevitably be left with a scar deep enough to see the bone.

Obviously, these evil aliens intend to use the fear of their prey to satisfy their evil and violent desires.

However, the main battleships of the Imperial Navy are by no means lambs to be slaughtered.

The Dreadnought-class light cruiser is specially designed to combat highly maneuverable pirates. As a light cruiser, it is the nemesis of all small and medium-sized warships and is the top hunter in the starry sea, bar none.

Among the light cruisers of all races in the galaxy known so far, the Dreadnought-class light cruiser claims to be second, and no one dares to claim to be first. "Light cruisers" like the three Voss sisters, which are just to make up the numbers, have to stand aside.

As the Diviner probe continued to speed forward, the ship's augur detection department collected more and more information readings.

These clues were received by Horatio without delay through the neural plugs on the command throne and displayed in real time on the void sandbox, allowing him to have a clear understanding of the situation within the entire 3000 cubic kilometers.

At this moment, a 4.5-kilometer-long behemoth, spewing flames, rushed towards the damaged alien warship with great momentum.

The Eye of the Skyhawk on the bow flashed with golden hatred, like a real falcon swooping down after discovering its prey.

Seeing this, the severely damaged Dark Eldar warship immediately turned around and fled, trying to escape the pursuit with its agile void mobility.

Under the precise instructions of the central fire control tower, the two twin-mounted light macro guns on the Swift Eagle's ridge quickly turned their muzzles towards the fleeing enemy ships.

With four loud "bangs", a raging fire suddenly broke out among the enemy ship.

Horatio then noticed that a unique half-moon turret on the enemy ship's spine quickly turned and aimed at the Swift Aquila.

All of the Eldar's creations seem to have extremely fast rotation speeds, and this turret is no exception.

It fired missiles with purple tail flames and inverted blades, like a giant scythe sweeping across a wheat field, cutting towards the void shield of the Swift Aquila, causing a strong ripple.

As a time traveler, Horatio knew a little about this weapon from the setting.

From the images captured by the peripheral cameras, it can be seen that this Dark Eldar pirate ship, which makes a living by plundering, is indeed weakly armed.

It has only a pair of torpedo tubes and a single Scythe missile gun.

Although the latter is indeed relatively powerful, for the Imperial Navy's light cruisers, dealing with a Dark Eldar pirate ship with only one such weapon is like a large Mao warship in the 3K era encountering Somali pirates in the Red Sea.

Even if the Imperial warships did not open fire, simply speeding over would be enough to cause them to flee in panic.

"The target has entered a distance of 2000 units!"

"The enemy fired torpedoes! The two torpedoes are far apart, and it seems to be a deterrent shot, intending to stop us from pursuing!"

"Helmsman! Turn left!" Horatio stared at the torpedo coming from the front right and decisively gave the order to turn left. "Turn left!" The helmsman responded loudly while turning the heavy adamantine steering wheel hard and turning the rudder to the far left.

The Swift Skyhawk drew an inverted S-shaped arc in the air. Horatio watched the torpedo gradually approach the stern of the battleship and shouted again: "Full right rudder! Power department! Starboard 1/3 high-energy steering thrust!"

"As you command, Captain!"

"Rudder full right!"

At the moment when one of the torpedoes was about to hit the No. 4 engine group at the stern of the Swift Aquila, the battleship turned and dodged gracefully with its excellent maneuverability, full rudder and 1/3 afterburner on the starboard side.

The battleship's plasma tail flame burned the torpedo that passed by its stern. Horatio used the peripheral ultra-clear camera and lidar scanning image to clearly see the horrific appearance of the torpedo: on the dark, bladed body of the torpedo hung a slave whose flesh was pierced by shackles.

The slaves' backs were cut open, their ribs were broken one by one and twisted around Lei's body.

Their bodies were covered with a layer of frost, and the painful expressions on their faces before death were frozen in the frost, silently accusing them of the suffering they had endured in their lives.

"Enough! We have to put an end to this! We can't let these aliens escape! High energy and boost! Crush them!"

After dodging the torpedo, the side macro guns and the spine macro guns quickly seized the opportunity and aimed at the enemy who was turning around and fleeing.

"Fire!"

At a range of 2000 units, the Imperial Navy's hit rate was usually over 90%, and that's not even taking into account the excellent crews and equipment.

A salvo of 10 light macro cannon rounds is enough to cause a devastating blow to the enemy.

At the same time, flames spurted out of the gun barrels and a series of explosions occurred at the stern of the fleeing enemy ship, causing its speed to drop significantly. Even without detection through readings, this could be observed intuitively with the naked eye.

The Swift Aquila turned again, and the stern engine and lateral thrusters ejected an even more dazzling plasma beam, and the uncompleted burned matter was ejected together, leaving a gorgeous trail composed of dazzling dust in the starry sky.

"Monkey! The monkey's warship is coming!" Inside the enemy ship, a female Dark Eldar with a shaved head and only a sky-high braid stood on the observation deck full of slave corpses, pointing at the bow of the Skyhawk that dispelled the darkness, and screamed in horror.

(Bear the wrath of the Divine Emperor Sky Eagle! Alien!)

"Quick! Activate the backup pain energy!" The pirate captain brandished the evil-shaped scimitar and roared loudly.

"No, the Pain Engine is damaged and the energy supply is unstable!" A Dark Eldar with a scar on his eye responded anxiously.

"Torture those slaves to death! Use their pain and blood to stimulate the energy of the Pain Core!"

"The monkey is coming towards us! It's too late!"

Everyone turned their heads in horror, only to hear a loud "bang", followed by a sharp twisting sound from the dark rusty metal hull of the Dark Eldar pirate ship, like the shrill scream of a witch being stabbed in the heart.

The powered ram at the front of the Swift Aquila's adamantium bow shield cut into the Eldar ship's hull as easily as a hot steel knife cutting through butter, severing the out-of-control Dark Eldar pirate ship right in the middle.

Soon, a small ball of dazzling purple fire lit up in the dark universe.

The Swift Aquila smashed through the debris that blocked its path, but the debris didn't even leave a dent on the adamantine bow, only scraping off the top coat of paint that had been reapplied when it set sail months ago.

"Another target has been found!" the chief auspicious god suddenly shouted. He received a new signal from the fortune teller's detector.
