Then, don't resist.
"In the eyes of the Adeptus Mechanicus, risking the destruction of the Colossus and using precious machines like the Ring of Ruin as bait to lure the greenskin fleet into Chaos is an unreasonable waste."
Grey Wind imitated Russell and propped his chin with one hand, saying frivolously: "But to us, the Colossus is not that precious."
At least it's not the kind of precious thing that cannot be repaired if it's broken or cannot be remade if it's gone.
Chapter 165 Greener than Nurgle
The three main battleships still remained on the edge of Aurora, cooperating with the Imperial Navy on the other side of the galaxy to carry out long-range sniping on the Void Whales, although the originally powerful main guns of the battleships had little effect on the Void Whales.
While the Cyborg Clan's orc army had not yet completed the encirclement of itself, Grey Wind controlled the Ring of Destruction and rushed at full speed to the front line where the Imperial Navy was fighting the Void Whales. Lystia and the Mechanical Angel took the space shuttle to leave the Colossus first and quietly returned to Faya.
After all, one of them is one of the few diplomats with normal communication skills in the Order of Truth, and the other is the No. 0 test aircraft of the "Scholar" type mobile armor that is still in the research and development stage. They both have their own importance.
Limited by the huge size of the Colossus and the huge power consumption of the star destroyer weapon, the speed of the Ring of Doom was not very fast. Soon, some of the largest ships and cannons with the longest range in the Orc garbage fleet could barely reach the taillights of Grey Wind.
The jubilant greenskin guys drove one cooler junk warship after another, roaring and chasing after the Ring of Destruction, continuously firing larger and larger physical shells. Although the accuracy was not very good and often hit other Orc ships on the flank, this did not dampen the greenskins' interest at all.
The greenskins were very satisfied with the war target chosen by the Supreme Overlord Maurice. The magnificent body of the Colossus and the terrifying firepower that could destroy a planet were enough to scare any creature and arouse the most intense fighting spirit and desire for conquest of the orcs. Especially the orcs of the Evil Moon Clan who fled after Goktor was beheaded and rose up again under Maurice - what could be worse than sticking shells on the huge mechanical face that defeated Goktor?
"That's right, just wow~ it's right. Get a little more agitated, wow~ some more..."
Grey Wind ignited with satisfaction the psychic dust reserves which were already in short supply and had no way to replenish them, and erected a huge psychic shield to cover the Ring of Destruction.
Despite the orcs' fierce bombardment behind it, it continued to rush towards the front line where the Imperial Navy and the Void Whales were fighting fiercely.
At the same time, the temporary commander of the Imperial Army, Captain of the Iron Wanderers, Eldoshan, who was confused because the Colossus led the greenskin fleet towards him, received a message from Grey Wind through the communication channel.
Without much hesitation, Eldoshan accepted Gray Wind's plan after thinking for a moment.
The Order of Truth was willing to use such a precious Star Destroyer Colossus to lure the orcs, so how could he stick to the so-called illusory glory and fight to the death? In the eyes of the Iron Wandering Souls, if luring the orcs into Chaos can reduce the casualties of the Empire's soldiers, it would be the best.
Grey Wind and the Imperial Navy were very satisfied with this tactic of luring the enemy. The only one who was dissatisfied was the technical priest stationed in the army who was responsible for maintaining equipment for the Imperial fleet.
The followers of the God of All Machines protested against the wasteful behavior of the Order of Truth in wanton desecration of the sacred machinery, but were ignored.
As expected, more and more Ork garbage fleets were attracted by the Colossus and rushed across the galaxy to the front line.
Eldoshan and the Iron Ghost commanded the Imperial Navy, which was already exhausted after a series of battles, to fight and retreat. The bulky keel-structured hulls and the seemingly flashy cathedrals and statues of the Emperor all had unique advantages in such close naval battles. After such arduous battles, they still preserved considerable manpower for the Imperial Navy.
If a heavy artillery ship like the Lost Truth, which is thin-skinned and large-bodied, gets caught in a close combat with the Chaos fleet, it will not last long without a psychic shield and will be sunk. The physical properties of the Zero Element Armor have reached the extreme, but it has little resistance to the sorcery of the Warp.
This is also the reason why Grey Wind had to activate the psychic shield before letting the Colossus charge towards the Void Whale.
In the Aurora celestial model, the wandering void whales were getting closer and closer, and the orc fleet gathered behind the Ring of Doom had also reached a terrifyingly large scale, so large that the psychic shield covering the Colossus's body could hardly withstand the indiscriminate firepower behind it and was on the verge of collapse several times.
The frenzied force field wantonly ravaged the barely maintained psychic shield, forcing Grey Wind to ignite more psychic dust to intensify the burning in order to increase the power of the shield. It could accept the destruction of the Ring of Destruction in this battle, but at least it had to hold on until it crashed into the center of the Void Whale Group...
Besides this, there was another thing that concerned Huifeng.
"Although there are many orc fleets gathered behind the colossus, I have never found the war flagship that the orc leader is riding. The orc Maurius, who is respected as the Supreme Greenskin Overlord, has not appeared yet."
Grey Wind felt a little worried. What was the Orc Overlord who had not shown up all this time planning? Or had Maurice already noticed his attempt to use the greenskins to resist Chaos? Such an obvious tactical deployment would be easy for an Orc to figure out, right?
Shaking his head to get rid of all the messy worries, Huifeng focused his precious energy on the things at hand.
The stench of corruption that permeated the soul hit him in the face, and even Gray Wind, who had no warp projection, instinctively felt a strong discomfort. The corrupt whale full of fatherly grace was already close at hand, so close that he could directly see the sunken scorched hole on its skull...blasted out by the concentrated arc.
Grey Wind looked back at Coroniai, who was still feasting on the food in Mirafa's orbit, before driving at full engine power and diving into the chaotic and ominous whale school.
Suddenly, a violent torrent of Warp space hit the psychic shield covering the surface of the Ring of Destruction like a huge wave, creating circle after circle of violent waves.
Grey Wind let out a long sigh and slumped down in the main seat in the Colossus' control room, igniting all the remaining psychic dust.
The task of this sub-process has been successfully completed. What remains is to see how long the psychic shield can last under the onslaught of chaos, and... how many greenskins there are.
As expected by Huifeng, after the Ring of Destruction crashed into the Void Whales, it connected almost seamlessly, and a huge torrent of countless junk ships also rushed over.
The excited orc boys enjoyed firing violently at everything around them, and the deafening sound made the already chaotic surroundings of the whale school even more chaotic.
The bloodletters who couldn't hold back began to appear in groups on the bridges of the green-skinned warships - if that thing could be called a bridge - and fought passionately with the orcs who were also eager for war. The orcs responded by happily boarding.
Countless light raiding craft filled with jubilant Orc boys could no longer stop, and the greenskins rammed into the bodies of giant beasts loaded with Chaos demons with drums and gongs, and began a happy fight among the demons.
The overflowing energy almost dyed the chaotic aura surrounding the Void Whale into a beautiful green... Although Nurgle is originally green, the greenskin is obviously greener, isn't it?
The guys in our clan are definitely greener and more powerful than those green rotten zombies!
With such an inexplicable obsession, the green-skinned boys began to focus on several void whales that had turned into a rotten duck green color due to Nurgle pollution.
Chapter 166: Unripe Dream
It would be an ideal situation to use the Colossus as bait to lure the green orcs into conflict with Chaos and then consume the power of both sides on a large scale.
It has to be said that guiding the greenskins to start a war is not difficult in itself, but Chaos has always been unpredictable, and the orc race is synonymous with unpredictability. There are too many uncontrollable factors between the two.
The Imperial Navy, led by the Iron Fist, immediately began to withdraw after assisting in the task of luring the Colossus, intending to let the Orcs and Chaos tear each other apart and consume each other, but the result was the opposite of what they wanted. The Orcs would not just attack Chaos as Aldoshan wished, they would beat anyone they saw.
A big fish filled with demons - hit!
The shrimp who is driving the boat - beat him!
Any other orc boys that happen to be in the path of the artillery - hit them!
The overwhelming force spread to every corner of the battlefield, bringing despair and ominous chaos, making the tide even more chaotic, and the orcs launched attacks in every direction.
Countless junk ships launched countless large bombs at the scarred Void Whales while also continuously pursuing the Imperial Navy. Tens of thousands of Orc boys boarded simple flying vehicles made of scrap metal and jumped onto the bridge of the Imperial battleship together with the Khorne Vampires, singing and dancing on it. The war roars of blood sacrifice to the blood god and the deafening shock shocked the hearts of every Imperial soldier.
Greenskins, Chaos, and Humans tangled up in space, Orcs and Slaanesh danced together, plasma and macro cannons roared, and the whole Aurora was in chaos. Even the Sea of Souls was overwhelmed by this massive melee, with waves of tsunamis rising one after another. Countless greenskin raiders happily drifted in the belly of the Void Whale, and the Iron Fist was filled with Slaanesh demons who came here for fun and greenskin mechas that were smashing and tearing things down.
Among the three forces involved in the melee, the Imperial Navy was the weakest. While Chapter Master Eldoshan and his Iron Spirit warriors fought off the demons that appeared on the warships and the greenskins who came to take advantage of them, he also commanded the Imperial Navy fleet, which had already been exhausted and suffered heavy losses, to retreat with difficulty.
Whether it is Maurice's green tide or the void whale group blessed by the evil god, their size is far greater than the imperial military force in Aurora. This is undoubtedly an asymmetric battle. Human warships can only barely survive in the cracks of chaos and garbage torrents.
However, as the war progressed, the originally severely unbalanced balance of power soon became balanced.
Because in Mirafa's orbit, the monster that was hovering over the hive city and sucking the life force of the entire planet has recovered from its injuries.
Koroni Ai was still not satisfied, so she used her long, slippery tongue covered with fleshy folds to gently lick away the remaining thick white liquid at the corner of her lips, with a smile on her face full of happiness: "I'm full~"
The swarm's endless hunger was temporarily satisfied. One by one, the bright red tentacles were retracted from the surface of Mirafa, and hideous monsters crawled out from the bodies of the biological arks. Swarms of soul-eating poisonous bees broke away from their mother bodies and were born in the space burned by war.
This is the battleship-class Zerg unit with the simplest structure, lowest cost and highest production efficiency.
The Void Whale Group, which was not very united to begin with, had been dispersed by the green tide. A Sword-class frigate that had lost track of the main force was struggling in the chaotic torrent, sailing with difficulty.
Not far from the frigate, a giant void whale was drifting with the current, immersed in Slaanesh. The sailors on the frigate could even see with their naked eyes the whale's floating soul-capturing tentacles, and the void beast's hedonistic state of being immersed in the stimulation of the soul and senses.
After several of his crew were seduced by the Prince of Pleasure and fell into the abyss of self-abuse, the captain of this Sword-class frigate attempted to avoid the Slaanesh-dominated Void Whales and headed for Mirafar.
But unfortunately, as if due to some mysterious connection, the drunken Void Whale was convulsing and approaching Mirafa. To be more precise, it was approaching the monster entrenched in Mirafa's orbit - the Fordlan Hive World Ship.
"You're going in the wrong direction. The Iron Fist is in Orok'kol, and the human army is fighting the greenskins on that planet. This is Chaos' home turf."
An unexpected psychic signal suddenly connected to the communication channel on the frigate, which had not successfully received any information since the start of the melee.
Before the operating technician could deliver this urgent message to the captain for review, a series of ferocious black shadows flashed past the side of the ship at violent sharp angles.
It was an assault formation composed of dozens of soul-eating poisonous bees. They maintained a sharp spear formation, cutting through the thin subspace ocean currents and piercing the highly poisonous soul bone thorns into the flesh of the Void Whale.
"That monster is launching an attack on the Chaos Beast..." The captain stared in amazement as wave after wave of Soul-Eating Venomous Bees emerged from the Bio-Ark and launched round after round of death charges towards the Chaos-ridden Void Whale.
Then the captain saw the message handed over by his assistant.
The poison, which is powerful enough to poison machine souls, has been specially formulated by Coroniae. While retaining its lethality, it can also cause extreme pain to the poisoned person on both the spiritual and physical levels, causing the behemoth that has been immersed in the pleasure brought by Slaanesh to fall into the abyss of pain.
The spirit bone structure and a large number of synaptic nerves in the biological ark stirred the waves of the sea of souls, and gently "pushed" the Imperial frigate that had mistakenly entered the scene of the Queen of Worms and the Prince of Joy out of this chaotic airspace and sent it in the direction of Orokkol.
The cost of poisoning a behemoth of the Void Whale's size is astronomical, but fortunately, Coronia is no longer fighting a one-sided war of attrition. The green tide sweeping across the galaxy is surging with endless strong greenskins, providing the Zerg with an inexhaustible supply of biomass nutrients, supporting the Biological Ark to continuously produce more, larger and more powerful combat units.
"It feels so good to have logistics support..." Koroni sighed sincerely.
As the first batch of "Spirit-Trending Bone Spiders", a psychic unit with a long production time, finally completed hatching, Coronia's tentacles and Zerg psychic network extended across the galaxy, catching the green-skinned garbage ships coming and going like a bird net.
The recovery and growth of the Zerg has finally enabled the Empire to have the capital to compete with either Chaos or the Greenskins. The balance of combat power has finally been balanced. If nothing unexpected happens, Aurora, which is in chaos, will continue to be in chaos.
However, the balance of combat power that had just been restored was soon unbalanced again, and this time, it tilted towards the human side.
At the edge of the Aurora Galaxy, near the coordinates of Mandeville Point, the L-gate flashed continuously.
Fully armed warships hurriedly arrived from the stargate network, and the mighty army of the Human Empire arrived at this abstract battlefield filled with chaos whispers, orc war cries, and Zerg psychic tentacles.
The first thing that was escorted out of the star gate was a huge battleship with an entire steel body. Its body was plump yet smooth, without any symbolic marks or patterns on its body, and even the paint had not been applied yet. It looked like a little girl who had not put on any makeup and was rushing out to meet people in her pajamas.
The battleship is about 48 kilometers long, and its specifications are not as impressive as the 64-kilometer-long battleship HMS Jealous.
But unlike the heavy gunships with crested bow structures, this brand-new huge warship uses the classic keel structure of the Empire, and the heavy adamantine ram is carved into a sharp eagle head. The sides are densely packed with macro guns, point defense guns, plasma cannons and crazy torpedo slots, which are more in line with the combat habits of Space Marines and the Imperial Navy.
This is the magnificent warship that Anti-Entropy customized for the Human Empire according to Russell's requirements, a war machine created for the Terra expedition.
"Valkyrie" class battleship: "Unripe Dream".
Chapter 167 Bramimond
After the Unripe Dream, four sister ships of the same specifications also jumped out of the star gate one after another.
Of the 13 "Glorious Queen" class warp battleships that Russell promised to Alexei, nine have been completed, or to be more precise, nine blanks. Like blank sheets of paper, they were given to nine different Space Marine regiments, and were modified differently according to their respective tactical styles.
However, on the eve of the Terran expedition, the God of Chaos did not give them much time to adjust. The opening of the Eye of Mystery, the rebellion of Trodrom, and the Void Whales that crossed the starry sea through the Webway...
Before the expeditionary soldiers even set out, they had to lead the Valkyries, who were still as new as blank sheets of paper, to the first war on the expedition.
Among the 9 Valkyrie-class battleships, 4 warships each carried 4 Astartes regiments and rushed to the Trodrom system to help the Blue Blood Noble Regiment and the Forge Vice-Overseer stationed there quell the rebellion.
The remaining five ships, along with three regiments, broke through the fog of war and entered the chaotic Aurora.
The reason why the five Valkyries only brought a little more additional support to three chapters was because the two sisters, "Unripened Dream" and "Soul of Burning Steel", were originally the chapter flagships of Crimson Upstart and Iron Wanderer.
The ones who are now operating the battleship Soul of Steel are the home defense troops of the Iron Wandering Regiment left behind on the main planet of Nifol.
As for the Unripe Dream, there was not a single Space Marine on board. The entire Crimson Upstarts were riding on Bloodthirsters to fight the Khorne behemoths for their lives, including the reconnaissance company.
The captain of the Unripe Dream is now a mysterious man named "Bramimond", who is also the commander-in-chief of this support fleet.
Bramimond, wearing a loose robe in a dark purple-almost-black color, stood in the central control room and examined the Aurora celestial model presented to him by the machine soul of the Unripe Dream battleship - yes, the Valkyrie-class battleship had an machine soul, and the sisters had all undergone the sacred baptism of the Mechanicus, devout prayers, and lengthy machine soul awakening ceremonies after leaving the factory... In simple terms, they had been blessed by the God of All Machines.
National religion certification, extremely loyal.
The guards and communications clerks stood behind Bramimond without saying a word.
This was because the battlefield situation in Aurora was indeed very vague. A large part of the galaxy celestial body model presented by the battleship machine soul was disturbed by the subspace distortion caused by the chaos torrent. Even the tachyon sensors provided by the Order of Truth and the advanced psychic circuits from the dark age of human technology could not see through the confusing fog of war.
