Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 88 Tactical Leap
"Lord! We are approaching the enemy fortress. The orcs around us pose no threat to us at all!"

The fire controller said excitedly that the orcs here were still in a relatively primitive state, which was much easier to deal with than the wandering orcs in the expansion area.

The orcs in the expansion zone often own many huge junk ships. These junk ships look shabby, but they are not inferior to the Empire's warships.

Once caught in a boarding battle, it would be a nightmare for mortal crew members.

Gao Yi also seemed very relaxed. Air supremacy is so important in this world. The orcs on the ground can only rage helplessly on the ground. Gao Yi did not expect that the first time he encountered the green-skinned orcs would be such a scene.

However, the strategic goal this time is to seize the wreckage of the golden age battleship, and the final outcome will be decided by ground landing.

There are obviously a large number of orcs inside this fortress.

Gao Yi ordered his night guards to start organizing an assault force.

In addition to the crew necessary to control the battleship, the battleship's 10,000 soldiers can change into combat uniforms and become combat units.

Moreover, these crew members are the most loyal and elite soldiers in the dynasty. In an emergency, the cunning believers on the ship can also be transformed into temporary combat power.

Just as the soldiers walked into the shuttle and drop capsule.

Gao Yi, who was sitting on the bridge, discovered something unusual.

Unusual psychic fluctuations were emanating from the orc fortress before them, and the energy detection equipment on the bridge began to sound alarms.

"Lord! The energy values ​​in the enemy's fortress are abnormal!"

The broken metal shield on the top of the orc fortress was slowly opening, and a huge gun barrel was actually pushed out by the manpower of a large group of orc boys.

The priests on the battleship, including Gao Yi himself, had never seen this type of cannon.

Various metal scraps and messy cables were piled on top, and the entire barrel was painted yellow. In the orcs' cognition, yellow represents explosive power, but the main body of the barrel under these scraps was definitely not made in the orcs' style.

This exquisite craftsmanship is even better than the current naval guns of the human empire.

"Could it be that these orcs have repaired the cannons on this battleship using my thinking?!"

This possibility instantly occurred to Gao Yi's mind.

"WAAAAAGH~"

Accompanied by the deafening war roar of the orcs, a large amount of high-energy plasma was directed into the naval gun.

With the massive influx of energy, the cables and pipes on the gun body kept flashing with plasma sparks. The leaked energy would even turn some orcs who were close to the gun into charcoal. The orc boys who were accidentally killed would even be laughed at by their companions.

"This guy is such a jerk! He has such bad luck! If he had just painted himself blue like me, everything would be fine!"

And blue represents luck among orcs.

Under the control of Dajiba Kabang, the ship's gun began to rotate and aimed at the Gorgon in the sky.

Looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed at his warship, although he didn't know how powerful this thing was and whether it could break the warship's shield and armor, Gao Yi didn't intend to take the risk.

"Focus fire on that location!"

The priest who received the order slapped the mark of forced pleasing the machine spirit on the fire control console without hesitation.

As the machine spirit was overjoyed, all weapons except the Yamato cannon were fired at it.

A large number of missile arrays and heavy lasers were fired.

However, the imagined scene of the orcs being destroyed along with the ship's guns did not appear. Instead, a huge void shield covered the entire orc fortress and a full 10 kilometers nearby. The size of this void shield was exactly the same as the size of the entire battleship wreckage.

All the attacks were actually blocked by this huge void shield, and ripples continued to appear on the huge void shield.

"What the hell?! One layer, two layers, three layers... ten layers of void shield?! Did these greenskins pick up the void shield STC?! Who put so many layers of void shield on the fortress?! These guys not only dismantled the bridge, but also repaired the void shield of this battleship. Have you thought about it?!" One layer, only one layer. The conventional firepower of the three battleships only overloaded one layer of void shield in one round of concentrated fire, but there were still 9 layers of void shield behind it that were operating normally.

Seeing that the human's attack was blocked by the shield he created, Kabang looked very proud.

"What I make is the hardest and most powerful!"

The young mechanics around him looked at Kabang with admiration. Under the admiration of these young mechanics, Kabang felt as if he had become a little smarter.

And now it's his turn!

Kabang pressed the red button next to him.

"I think this cannon can definitely shoot down anything in the sky!"

Under the thinking of this great technician and a group of young technicians, the naval gun has reached the edge of firing. With the dual blessing of psychic power and energy, this shot will be extremely terrifying.

Gao Yi, realizing that something was wrong, yelled at the priest in charge of the jump.

"Quick! Make a tactical jump! Now!!"

Tactical jumps are different from jumping between galaxies, but allow instantaneous movement over short distances.

The three warships initiated a tactical jump at the same time. When the warships just disappeared from the spot, the cannons in the orc fortress were fully charged and fired towards the original position of the fleet.

The energy beam directly hit the sky, penetrating the planet's atmosphere. The huge beam even illuminated the void. Although it did not hit the warship, the energy shock wave radiated in all directions instantly covered the entire sky.

The earth seemed to be trembling.

Gao Yi, who had just jumped away from his original position, was also staring at this scene in amazement. If people without psychic talent can only see the damage in the physical world, then Gao Yi, who has strong psychic perception, can sense that this naval gun shot even temporarily evacuated the subspace at that location relative to the physical world.

"Warp cannon? Orc technology is so terrifying?! Or is it the technology of the human federation from the golden age?!"

Forget about Gao Yi's Gorgon, if you let a heavy cruiser take a single hit, it would probably be in serious trouble, right?!

The orcs looked at the place where the warship disappeared in the sky with confused faces.

"Boss, boss, was that flying thing shot down? Or did we miss? Those things in the sky just vanished in a flash."

The young mechanic felt that his brain was not enough, because the battleship was still there!
However, just as the young mechanic finished speaking, the tech tycoon hit him on the head with a wrench.

"Who cares if he cums or not? As long as it's big enough, feels good enough, and is waaagh enough, isn't that enough?!"

Kabang looked up into the sky, and he looked around and found the three warships that had just made a tactical jump not far away.

"Over there! Boys! Give him a bigger one!!"

When the muzzle began to rotate again, Gao Yi could no longer sit still. The tactical jump had entered a cooling period and could not be jumped again in a short period of time. If he was hit by another shot, he would be in real trouble.

Without any hesitation, Gao Yi began to order all the warships to approach at full speed. The gun barrels were not flexible enough, so he had enough time to get close!

The void shield can block the threat of long-range firepower, but it cannot prevent slow movement from entering it.

Since long-range firepower is not enough, I will land in close combat to capture your fortress!

Gao Yi left his seat on the bridge and ran towards the landing capsule.

He ordered the crew and priests to use the firepower on the warships to eliminate all the greenskins approaching the fortress to buy time for the landing troops. I can't do anything about your shield, but can't I do anything about the orcs outside your shield?

He will lead the Night Sentinels and Rangers to airdrop directly and eliminate the greenskins hiding in the void shield.
