Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 139: The battlefield where everything evaporates instantly, the Punishment-class battleship

"Is it an illusion?"

In a daze.

The Black Templar's attendant, Fugori, looked at the black sword of Sigismund that he was guarding in the battle group.

This is the legendary black sword wielded by First Captain Sigismund.

It and other holy relics have been kept in the most glorious place in the chapter, hoping that one day they can be brought to the battlefield in the name of the Emperor. This time, after receiving the news, they chose to bring these holy relics with them, perhaps they can do something in this war.

He has no other mission, he has only one responsibility, which is to protect it.

Use your life to protect its safety.

Looking at the black legendary black sword, it just stood there quietly.

He could feel the past glory it displayed, as if he were bathing in the supreme honor of the Supreme Marshal.

Although it is displayed there like history.

Its mere presence was enough to inspire an entire Chapter to fight, and when he became a squire guarding the relic, he had heard all the stories of it spread throughout the Emperor's Crusade.

Unfortunately, he couldn't witness those stories with his own eyes.

In front of him, his friendly tactical team lieutenant Berndt said goodbye to him.

Those warriors of the Black Templars will board the battle barges and fight for the Emperor.

And he was doing things that honored the Chapter.

He didn't think his task was much easier than theirs.

Lieutenant Berndt and several of his teammates bid farewell to their close friends who were guarding the holy relic. As long as the holy relic was on board, their combat power could be brought to its maximum.

The Primarch and the Supreme Marshal were watching them with their eyes.

They have to win.

Berndt landed on a battle barge.

Their mission was very simple, which was to destroy the planetary orbital module protected by hundreds of thousands of pioneer troops stationed on the pioneer planet by the Tau Empire, including a large number of Tau Empire fire warriors and tens of thousands of auxiliary troops. These people maintained the operation of a port planet and ensured the front-line supply of the Tau Empire.

These Tau Empire people may not seem to be numerous, but this is just a very small battlefield among countless battlefields, and there are only ten of them at most, and less than 30,000 mortal auxiliary troops.

Compared with the enemy's number, their number of soldiers is far less than that of the enemy.

"Adjutant Berndt, the battle barge has been launched."

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Emperor!"

The Black Templars' battle barge entered the battlefield.

Above space.

It has turned into an ocean of war.

The enemy's vanguard has already engaged the empire's vanguard.

Land warfare is always only a part of war.

Space warfare is the war that truly determines victory or defeat.

A large number of warships appeared on the battlefield in space.

Both sides were attacking the other side from a distance by surrounding their main battleships.

Every second, several, dozens of large and small light spears, plasma cannons, and heavy railguns are fired from the main weapon muzzles of battleships and flanking strike cruisers.

Interwoven light.

Shock waves continuously shot out from the shields of both sides.

Both sides' position shields were activated at super power.

The Empire uses the Punishment-class battleships, second only to the Queen of Glory-class battleship Eternal Expedition (Phalanx) in the Black Templars, as its main means of attack. Its battleships, which are over 7.5 kilometers in length, rely on powerful firepower suppression, and the impact of their light spears can even sink a continent.

The Black Templar's company commander watched the firefight between the two sides from inside the command room.

It is clear.

At present, they have the advantage. The powerful firepower support of the Punishment-class battleship is second only to the Revelation-class battleship and the Queen of Glory-class battleship. The battleship is more than 7,000 meters long and can accommodate firepower strikes that are not comparable to the combination of two heavy cruisers.

The power of each shot.

It can evaporate a lake the size of a city in an instant.

The largest light spear can even penetrate the enemy's thick standing space and directly destroy the enemy's main battleship.

The Tau, who were hit by their main battleships, seemed to begin to change their formation and attack the human fleet again, and the Tau Empire's flanking troops appeared on both sides.

"An outflanking formation? Those main fleets are trying to attack our frigates to reduce the defensive capabilities of our main battleships. It seems the enemy is determined to fight us to the death."

"Exactly what I want!"

The Black Templars are affectionately called Black Orcs by their enemies!
Desperately?

What they like most is that their enemies fight with them.

Most of the Black Templars did not participate in the last battle with the Tau Empire.

The White Scars, who had fought against the enemy before, found that these aliens were making rapid progress.

At the time of the First Damocles Crusade, these alien starships did not yet have force field shields.

And now, they have force field shields that are no weaker than the Empire's.

It's only been a few hundred years?

Not for three hundred years.

The people of the Tau Empire are progressing too fast.

The Empire must nip this new alien in the bud.

The Black Templars underestimated their enemies.

"Let our men ambush them."

The White Scars were masters of ambushes. In their wars with the Tau Empire, they had once used powerful ambush tactics to turn the tide of battle. The Tau warships were incredibly fast, and most were unmanned vessels controlled by intelligent systems. Only the White Scars, a group of wild "motorcycle guys," could outmaneuver these fools.

"Well, those warships on the left are left to you."

"Leave the right side to us."

"No problem." The White Scars and the Black Templars were not so extremely incompatible, at least not like the Red Scorpions and the Metaurnos, where they were completely unable to communicate with each other.

The battle barges of the White Scar and Black Altar kept coming out.

And nearby.

There are already Tau Empire drones or fully AI-piloted ships approaching their main fleet.

By reducing their speed, they bypassed the void shield, a material property that could not defend against slow speeds, and entered the space inside the force field. The ships from the Empire were also exchanging their lives for a chance to get close to the enemy and open fire.

At this time, the close-in defense guns, pulse rapid-fire guns, and close-in defense systems were activated at full speed.

Constantly blocking any ship that dared to approach the battleship.

And countless groups of aircraft emerged from starships and battleships.

They are in space.

Constantly dodging the incoming bullets and shells.

You even have to avoid the debris produced by the explosion.

The operator of the fighter plane, Ger, had eyes that almost glowed red as he poured bullets and shells onto the enemy ships without reservation.

Because, in the previous second, the pilot comrade who was still discussing tactics with him, when the cabin was damaged and he still had a chance to escape, immediately chose to crash his ship straight into the opponent's unmanned ship, reducing the number of the opponent's fighter planes as much as possible.

boom!
After destroying the unmanned ship in the flames, the damn Titanium Man appeared behind them, controlling the drone ship and rushing towards them.

What Comrade Gel had just destroyed was just a random ship on their assembly line.

Not even a single artificial intelligence was destroyed.

The enemy seemed to be humiliating their loyalty with this cheap weapon.

"Dry!"

Angry Ger suppressed his anger.

He wanted to charge into the enemy ships and kill them all, but he had to regain his sanity.

Most of the pilots of these fighter planes are mortal soldiers from the empire. Although they may be angry about anything on the battlefield, loyalty is their best medicine.

They must put the Empire first.

His mission was to prevent the enemy from approaching the main fleet.

Although his own role in this war was almost zero, and no one could even see what he did, he knew his loyalty, and the Emperor would also see his loyalty.

bass!
The enemy's railgun hit his flank.

A large amount of elemental flames instantly burned in the battleship. In this desperate combustion chamber, he was just like the teammates he had just seen, using his own life to complete the final blocking mission.

With unwavering determination, he steered the ship with both hands amidst the flames, his eyes firm and resolute, towards the enemy ships, ramming them into the enemy's artillery fire.

"Brother, use the fire in me and my blood to ignite the wrath of your guns and fire at the enemy."

"For the Emperor!"

boom!
Another explosion made the teammates even more angry.

The fired shells seemed to become more accurate and powerful under this aura of loyalty.

It seemed that every shell carried the blood and anger of the victims.

With their will, they charge towards the enemy.

And the other party is the same.

"rush!"

"Kick them out."

"For the Greater Good!"

"For the Greater Good!"

A white light instantly swept across the unmanned ship of the Tau Empire.

A cruiser of the main fleet swept across the unmanned ships while attacking the enemy's main battleship.

In an instant, all the ships in that area were wiped out.

The human ships in the rear took advantage of this gap and quickly made up for it, regaining the air combat advantage that was originally held by the enemy.

Every second.

Countless ships disappeared.

And every second.

There were also countless ships appearing.

They come in an endless stream, charging at the enemy with determination and loyalty to the empire.

And the fleets that were seizing ports on land were also fighting desperately with the enemy.

Their time is more precious than anyone else's.

A punitive legion from the Empire, the Armageddon Iron Legion.

On the ground, a cruel competition is taking place.

"Ryan!"

"Damn it!"

A soldier of the Armageddon Iron Legion watched his brothers die in battle.

Wearing a steel armored mechanical unit, he roared angrily and rushed towards the mercenaries formed by Krut. The elemental shells on his body exploded instantly.

All their troops had to do was buy a little time for the arrival of the Imperial Fleet.
