Warhammer, from Gothic Fleet to Azur Lane

No matter what this regiment looked like before, the Acheron Titan Destroyer will become the star of each Apocalypse-level battle with its armored veterans honed from the Battle of Armageddon and 21 nearly priceless solar shadow swords. The glory of the Titan Destroyer will accompany this honorary regiment throughout its life.

Chapter 43: Sokaren Stormbird

Stormbirds are a family of super-heavy assault landing craft. These craft were once used by the Astartes Legionaries as a primary means of deploying troops into battle. Prior to the creation of the smaller and easier to manufacture Thunderhawks based on the STC, these super-heavy craft were used almost exclusively by the Astartes. They are considered the core of the Astartes aviation force due to their ability to perform a variety of missions.

In battle, Stormbirds can not only serve as orbital airdrop ships, assault landing ships, heavy ground attack gunships or bombers, but also as ground fortresses or fire bases. Stormbirds can quickly transport space warriors from starships to the battlefield for deployment and provide them with fire support in battle.

In the Great Crusade in the late M30s, Stormbirds were used extensively by the Space Marine Legions. The Sokaren Stormbird could carry 50 Astartes or 5 Dreadnoughts of various models. And the Sokaren Stormbird could also carry a Rhino. Later, with the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, it was gradually replaced by the Thunderhawk.

The Stormbird can fly freely in atmospheric environments or the void, and its firepower makes it versatile, while its void shields allow it to ignore almost all anti-aircraft fire and force thousands of Space Marines into the face of the enemy. By the end of the Great Crusade, Legions such as the Death Guard and the Luna Wolves were committed to doing everything they could to keep this heavy vehicle in service.

However, by the final years of the Great Crusade, most Imperial expeditionary fleets had begun to favor the smaller STC-based Thunderhawks and Thunderhawk transports.

Although most Stormbirds were retired during this time, some were retained as transport for the Primarchs, though these would also be equipped with special equipment or decorations to show their unique status.

By the time of M41, the Thunderhawk had become almost standard issue for all Space Marine Chapters, and Stormbirds without STCs had disappeared, as much of the technology that made such a behemoth work had been forgotten. Some older Chaos Space Marines still use Stormbirds, such as the Word Bearers, but they are still extremely rare.

"So why do we have to take this thing? Even if such a bulky transport plane can carry nearly twice the number of people as a Thunderhawk, what can it do? Do you think the orcs' anti-aircraft artillery is blind?!" A rough voice interrupted the memories of the hermit elder Grimaldus.

Captain Amaras, the captain of the Angels of Fire, it was him again. Priest Grimaldus frowned under his helmet. If it was six days ago, he certainly would not be angry because of the slander from the ignorant guy.

But not now. Do you know how he got through these six days? Six days ago, Grimaldus was transferred from Halsridge to the Eternal Crusade by an urgent telegram from the Grand Marshal. He thought the Grand Marshal was going to take him to chop the Bonebreaker, so he came here excitedly.

Then? Then he was forced to repair the Stormbirds with the technical military for six days. A total of 40 Stormbirds without any problems, just because the Grand Marshal was suspicious and transferred him to apply holy oil for six days! Yes, as a hidden master, he naturally has the responsibility to take care of those precious holy relics, but you can't just give him 40 holy relics at once!

Anyway, he was very angry because he sang hymns with the choir for six days and six nights and rubbed 40 Storm Birds inside and out with holy oil.

"I thought all Astartes with a glorious history would know the true identity of these ancient holy relics. Oh, sorry, I forgot that the parent group of the Fire Angels is unknown." Although Grimaldus' voice became solemn and heavy after being wearing the priest's helmet, everyone present could hear his mockery from his words.

But he still dutifully explained the equipment these ancient relics possessed, "Double Void Shields, equivalent to a Predator-class Titan, and 4 twin-linked laser cannons mounted on the turret, 3 twin-linked heavy bombers mounted on the turret, and 6 wing-mounted Dreadnought strike missiles."

Although these words were quite vicious, considering that Grimaldus was a black orc with the blood of Dorne, he could only say that he had tried his best to suppress them and be tactful. With the interference of other Astartes and the gaze of hundreds of black orcs, the matter was left unresolved.

I can only say that the Flame Angel is indeed eye-catching. Look at who is next to him, the Space Wolves, White Scars, and Salamanders of the founding group; the Black Templars of the Imperial Fists, the Ascetics of the Ultramarines, and the Flesh Tearers of the Blood Angels. I can only say that there is a gap between the Space Marines.

Salmin felt it was a pity, as he had been so idle these days that he almost had nothing to do. He kept muttering to himself, "Fight, fight." But in the end, the fight never happened.

In short, in the midst of the stalemate, the Astartes also showed extremely high discipline, completing the final preparations in almost complete silence, and then quietly waiting for the front line to launch a general attack.

At 3:20 in the morning, after receiving support from the armored forces of the Solar Auxiliary Army, the Astartes once again launched a general offensive. After eleven thousand years, the Astartes seemed to have returned to that glorious era. Under the cover of the Emperor's flagship, thousands of legionnaires broke through the blockades under the protection of the Stormbird's void shield, and together with the Solar Auxiliary Army, hunted down the abominable xenos.

According to the laws of Warhammer, these huge and ancient super-heavy attack landing ships roared far beyond the thunder eagle spirit and burst out with an almost unimaginable powerful force. These bulky and huge machines flew across the sky in an instant with a dexterity that was completely different from their appearance.

These rude girls never concealed their figures, because the thin and gorgeous void shield was far from being as fragile as it appeared. When forty neatly arranged heavy fighters dragged long tails and headed straight for the Acheron nest that was completely controlled by the orcs, even the stupid orc anti-aircraft gunners were angry.

"Allfather, this is crazy." A Space Wolves guard couldn't help but hold the railing, but was afraid of breaking it, so he just held it lightly. "Forty Stormbirds rushed in at the same time. You know, the one we have is locked in the warehouse. It's a luxury to even take a look at it."

The captain rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's Fu who is in charge of guarding the palace. He is a member of the Golden Eagle Banner of Old Terra. Have you seen his ship, the Queen of Glory? We are not even as good as one of their sub-regiments."

After a while, he said sourly, "I feel that it is not as flexible as the Thunder Eagle." This made half of the company laugh.

They had only laughed for less than half a minute. The captain hadn't even suppressed them yet because he was afraid of damaging the Stormbird and couldn't stretch his body. Then he heard the voice of the Black Templar pilot in front of him, coming through the intercom. "Enter the Orcs' air defense circle, prepare to be attacked!"

The next second when they stopped smiling and grasped the railing, dense flames, three times more than expected, directly covered the entire Stormbird.

Chapter 44: Hive Assault

——Nothing happened. The rain of fire hitting the void shield was like waves hitting rocks. If all the anti-aircraft firepower was concentrated on a few planes, there would be a chance of a breakthrough. Such a cluster AOE attack was really like tickling them.

Even the captain of the Wolf Regiment above only felt the airship bump slightly. Not to mention the void shield being broken, he didn't even feel the vibration of being hit.

"Is it over already?" Another wolf guard looked at the monitor in the warehouse. The orcs' barrage continued to hit the void shield, causing brilliant ripples and arcs.

Although it felt like a whimper, this was normal. This double-layer void shield was the shield of a genuine Predator-class Titan. If it could be broken by this level of anti-aircraft firepower, wouldn't it be underestimating the opponent of the Great Crusade of the Human Empire?

Although the Stormbird does not have the excellent tactical transport capabilities of the Thunderhawk, it is a desperate transport aircraft that best reflects the power of the Astartes Legion! All forces that are hostile to the Astartes Legion, if they do not have the ability to shoot down aircraft with volcanic cannons, can only watch in despair as thousands of Astartes are leisurely deployed in front of them on Stormbirds.

Any enemy who is aware of the power of the Astartes will be crushed by the despair of powerlessness. And if you have never experienced the care of the God-Emperor's Angel of Death, you will have an unforgettable first experience.

When such a flying Titan appeared on the battlefield, it was like using an invincible cheat to fry fish. The Stormbird didn't even bother to pretend and ignored the Orcs' anti-aircraft barrage that could only block its vision. It was within its attack range in just a dozen seconds.

The anti-aircraft guns were not worth the expensive wing-mounted dreadnought strike missiles. With the pilot's superhuman reaction speed and the steady flight trajectory that ignored the air defense, he destroyed a small section of the city wall in just seven seconds of diving and climbing. After a whole batch of dive bombardments, the main gate that had intercepted the Astra Militarum for two weeks was left with only ruins and two lonely ancient giants.

Not to mention the Astartes, even the Salmin who was watching the battle from behind didn't expect this thing to be so effective. The Stormbird was just a transport plane to him. If he had known this, he would have let the Astartes open a gap first, and then let the Astra Militarum launch a general attack.

However, the good thing is that at this time, the Astra Militarum not only broke through the long-attacked pass with the help of the God-Emperor's Angel of Death, but also received support from the reinforcement armored forces. Under the encouragement of the political commissar, the morale is high and they are ready to attack the hive city in one fell swoop.

In this case, let's expand the victory. "The 13 auxiliary Thunder fighters and 28 auxiliary Pramaris Lightning attack aircraft of the 28st and 35th Villetalis Regiments will take off immediately to seize air superiority over the main gate." Salmin looked at the adjutant again. "Aren't the 39th and th Elysia Airborne Regiments on standby?"

"Yes, sir. Do we need to notify them now?" The adjutant immediately saluted him with the Sky Eagle salute.

"Well, have them take off within twenty minutes and enter the hive city through the gap in the main gate. Their command will be temporarily transferred to the Black Templar Grand Marshal to expand the results of the battle and block the greenskin support until they meet up with the main force."

After giving the order, he felt something was wrong. What Market Garden? If the army could not push forward and gave up, his reputation would be reduced to that of an Allied commander.

He also sent an urgent telegram to Jean Bart, who was on his way, to rush to the place where the paratroopers landed after entering the city, and granted her the right to conduct orbital bombing in defiance of the Inquisition's ban. Only then did he feel relieved. If Jean Bart and the Solar Auxiliary Army could not defeat them, it could only be said that it was not the fault of the war.

Looking to the other side, the storm birds ran around like wild dogs after entering the hive, causing chaos in the entire hive, firing a volley of heavy bombs here to rip a hole in the head of an unlucky orc war boss, and firing a missile there to kill the orc armored team in a plane.

In short, this kind of scattered and intensive attack not only hit the orcs' elite forces, but also tied up a large number of orcs in meaningless mobile warfare. Although the bone crusher himself was calm and did not expose himself, most of his men and allies exposed their main positions during the harassment.

And that was enough. When the goal was basically achieved, the Grand Marshal decisively stopped the harassment and issued tasks to important locations in the hive. At this time, the Astartes, who were far less in number than the orcs, were able to form a numerical advantage in the local area during the attack, which made people have to admire the Grand Marshal's command art.

The so-called important location of the nest city.

The Administratum is a complex organization responsible for the administration of the entire empire. It is responsible for all civil service offices such as archives, government buildings, tax offices, etc. on all planets. They can usually be distinguished by the Aquila constellation above the main entrance.

During wartime, the Ministry of Internal Affairs buildings are often the most intense places for fighting. As the natural headquarters and administrative center of the city, attackers often take these places as their main targets. The fall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs means that the entire city has fallen into the hands of the enemy. The Flesh Tearers' target is this place. Whether it is a traitorous human traitor or a green-skinned alien, they will receive the most tragic revenge from the Empire!

Auditorium. Every Imperial city has at least one Auditorium, where people gather for large gatherings organized by the Inquisition or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as the visits of dignitaries such as Space Marine Commanders or Inquisitors. This magnificent and large complex is likely the residence of the Bone Crusher, which the Orks love.

This dangerous place was naturally assigned to the Black Templar itself.

Castra Exercitus, each Imperial world must establish its own planetary defense force, and each world or city is also part of the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, where the Arbitrator will perform his duties of maintaining Imperial law. Each Imperial Hive will build a Legion Castle as a dormitory, training base and armory for the stationed troops.

During the war, many sieges were also fought around the Legion Castle. Because of the shameful betrayal, the Legion Castle had completely become a greenskin garrison, and the Salamanders, who were armed with melta and suitable for short-range combat, were naturally the best candidates. At the same time, there were no innocent civilians here, making it convenient for them to burst out with all their firepower.

Cellarions. No Imperial world is isolated from the rest of the Imperium, and few hives have large complexes of warehouses. These facilities are responsible for collecting various local goods for trade with other hives or worlds, or storing imported goods awaiting distribution to those who need them.

This place also became a paradise for the greenskins and was handed over to the Fire Angels.

The Censorium, which confines countless staff and clerks to dark, cold, towering offices, is a subordinate building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It contains all kinds of information about the hive city, including population, economy, production levels, taxes, resources, industrial and agricultural quotas, which are recorded, filed, marked and updated by bureaucrats all over the world. These high-value data make the Censorium an easy target for enemy forces.

Although the orcs do not have to, this data contains the secrets of half the planet and must be burned. After burning the database, the White Scars will ride their small motorcycles to a street and clean up the largest industrial area with the Space Wolves.

Power Plant (Generatorium), any city or industrial complex requires a lot of energy, and the energy system is also the favorite target of invaders. The fuel of the power plant is adapted to local conditions. Fertile planets will mainly use organic fuels and fossil fuels, industrial hives will mainly use fusion networks and plasma reactors, and some places can use geothermal energy and solar energy if conditions permit. All power plants and the secrets of their operation are controlled by the Mechanicus.

This is also the base of the Mechanicus, where a lot of secrets and Mechanicus traps are buried. It is managed by the Ascetics who have the most Tech-Sergeants.

Industrial Zone (Manufactorium), although mankind has experienced dozens of thousands of years of disputes and regression, the Empire's technology is definitely not backward. Various industrial complexes in the galaxy produce countless items, from ordinary clothes to terrible plasma bombs. All production lines are closely monitored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Mechanicus. It is not uncommon for workers to not know what they are producing.

As it happens, the Armageddon Hive Industrial Zone is famous for producing tanks and other armored forces. It is even more deadly after being occupied by the Orks, so much so that the two founding groups have to work together to clean it up.

Chapter 45: Military Expansion Plan

Salmin signed several more documents from the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior, and was surprised to find that he had nothing to do. He was the Admiral of the Armageddon Sector, the Acting Governor of the Sector, and the Deputy Commander of the Allied Forces, but he could only watch others coming and going in the field command center, like an overseer. Wasn't that a bit problematic?

But in the final analysis, his identity is a bit awkward. As we all know, the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy are two different teams. Logically, he should be just a distinguished guest in the Astra Militarum and PDF.

But as acting governor of the sector, he has control over the sector capital, Armageddon PDF. In addition to his position as deputy commander of the coalition forces, theoretically he now has command of the Armageddon sector navy, the coalition Imperial Guard, and the Armageddon PDF, and even the right to request support from these 50,000 Astartes.

It's a pity that theory is just theory after all. Although the Allied Imperial Guard did obey his orders, they adhered to the principle of neither taking the initiative nor refusing. Even the documents he had handled before were about logistics and government affairs.

But if they didn't come looking for him, Salmin really had no intention of micromanaging and directly commanding the battle from the rear. With his level of remote control of the front-line battle, he could only move the machine gun position five meters to the left and turn the tachyon light spear five degrees to the left.

The Grand Marshal's command on the front battlefield was quite perfect. If he rashly commanded just to satisfy his own interests, it would not only intensify the conflict, but also waste the Emperor's precious currency. No matter what happens in the future, he, who claims to be the orthodox of mankind, is standing firmly on the side of the Emperor and mankind.

He was happy to be idle. He took this opportunity to complete the major construction this week. Two weeks ago, he applied for the establishment of two more battle groups by two admirals, taking advantage of the fact that the Armageddon Sector Navy had a total of ten battleships but only three battle groups. It can only be said that the Empire was very efficient in this kind of paperwork that only required stamping, and it was approved in two weeks.

Then someone may ask, where did the original Admiral Palor of the Armageddon Sector go? Sorry, this admiral was unfortunately shot through the entire bridge by an extremely accurate macro cannon during the final battle with the Orks, and died on the spot. It was also because of this that the leaderless Armageddon Navy finally fell into the hands of Salmin.

As for why it was so accurate? The orc battleship was rebuilt based on the scrapped ship of the Imperial Navy. After Salmin used its powerful electronic warfare capabilities to control the fire control and machine soul, Salmin helped her do some minor work, such as adjusting the fire control parameters and changing the lock position.

Therefore, under the magic of nature and the command of his superiors, Salmin, as the only admiral of Armageddon at that time, was appointed at the time of victory and ordered after the crisis, and became a glorious lord admiral.

And now he will use the construction techniques that have shocked the Mechanicus for 1 years to teach how to build a strong star zone navy from scratch.

The naval battle was completely over, and the reinforcements were ready to withdraw. The only remaining forces of the Armageddon Navy were the severely damaged Doomsday-class battleship, the Oberon-class battleship Green Lake, which was slightly damaged by the boarding, two severely damaged cruisers, seven not-so-severely damaged cruisers, thirteen serviceable light cruisers, and 42 frigates.

As for the eight warships, two of them had been turned into the Queen of Glory by him and could not be used. The Grand Marshal had not discussed the issue of the other six with him yet. He felt as if he had borrowed them with his own ability, so why should he return them?

But the Thrall people are happy to send her off. When the time comes, there will be a Glorious Queen and the horsepower of six warships, let's see who can push who. The Blackstone Fortress should be slammed hard into Abaddon's vengeful spirit, turning him into senile dementia. Guilliman will then give him a sword to let him know that the era of the Primarch is back again!

It looks good on paper, but the Sector Navy needs a major overhaul that will take at least three years to restore its combat effectiveness, and more than ten years to return to pre-war levels. Simply put, Samimin's current problem is to recruit as quickly as possible.

From the data, he has a large table of 4000 points and four small tables of 1200 points. There is only 4000 points of space left on the 200-point table, and the four small tables are completely empty.

Forget about the Queen of Glory-class battleship. He is still in the Empire and it is impossible for him to bring such a thing to the public. Located between the battleship and the light Titan, the appearance is similar to that of an ordinary battleship, but it is slightly larger, so the super battleship has become the best choice.

The Damocles-class super battleship, 325 points, is a close combat ship with melta cutters and powered rams that have a short range and a long reload time but explosive damage. Its speed of 150 is second only to the Retribution-class battleship, which is enough to keep up with the fleet's actions. Its firepower comes from a large number of macro cannons.

It can be said to be a perfect main battleship. Its 1600 shield and 4900 HP are the most powerful ships in the battleship. The huge number of macro cannons gives it a greater advantage in the battle line. The design of the hot melt cutting and ramming angle on the bow allows it to tear apart any small ship that dares to approach it. And it happens to be the largest battleship under the Queen of Glory class.

This is simply wonderful, and perfectly suited to the current situation of hundreds of frigates and dozens of light cruisers fighting each other unconsciously on the battlefield in Warhammer 40k. Damocles's enhanced ramming ability can even string together dozens of frigates.

The Arbiter Super Battleship is a 360-point super aircraft carrier that can make the enemy tremble in front of its 12-squadron bombing team. At the same time, this ship has four Glorious Queen Light Lance turrets for long-range sniping through the surplus energy and spare hull.

With 1200 shields, 4400 HP and 130 speed, it is more of a command carrier than a fleet carrier. This is also confirmed by the fact that it is equipped with the Queen of Glory lance turret main guns with ultra-long range. This type of warship can only be said to be average, and even a little awkward in fleet battles.

What Salmin values ​​is her ability as a ship mother. As we all know, the planet is round. When they fight in the form of ship girls, their weapons are still direct-fire artillery, which shortens their range from billions of kilometers to within 20km.

At the same time, due to the lack of indirect firepower, it is impossible for them to provide fire support at will. This is when the importance of the ship girl is reflected. Through the aircraft carrier ship girl, not only can rapid large-scale fire support be achieved, but also the blue-featured aircraft carrier can be quickly transported.

Warlord Super Battleship, Light Lance Battleship with Scanner. It can only be said that the rare stealth battleships in reality and the stronger search capabilities of the carrier aircraft make it lose its own advantages in the game.

Therefore, Salmin finally decided that the four battle groups that would face a large number of conventional Warhammer 40k battles would use the Arbiter supercarrier as the command ship and the Damocles-class superbattleship as the main battleship, while abandoning the Warlord-class superbattleship.

Chapter 46: Dajian and Conspiracy

It was not enough to determine what he considered the main fleet. In the eyes of the Empire, the main fleet also included large cruisers, battle cruisers, and ordinary cruisers. Only light cruisers, frigates, and destroyers were small ships.

Since the Moon-class cruiser is too useful as a cheap disposable torpedo ramming boat in the game, the Moon-class cruiser is deleted and replaced with the more expensive Agamemnon-class battleship in the mod. Our protagonist Speyer also upgrades his guns and cannons, and starts with a battleship, which is in line with his status.

After much deliberation, Salmin finally chose the Overlord-class battlecruiser as the main force of the star zone navy. The Moonlight City-class battlecruiser was powerful but expensive, and most importantly, it was too ugly, with a kind of beauty like a black oil man in the subspace, which was simply two battleships stacked together.

As for the Armageddon-class battlecruiser in the game, which is also the Doomsday-class battlecruiser, to be honest, it is really average. Unlike the Overlord-class battlecruiser, the four plasma macrocannons on the side of the 16 tubes have the same caliber, which is convenient for salvo aiming. The Armageddon-class uses dual macrocannons and dual lances. It seems to be a versatile ship. The macrocannons break shields and the lances have high cutting damage, but in fact it is a pure sewer.

The backgrounds are even more different. One is a prototype of the battlecruiser class, modified by the oiler based on the Huangquan class, known as the Little Nemesis, which can only be manufactured in the shipyard of the capital of the Hazy Star Region or the higher shipyard of the Forge World. The other one is made by adding some things to the scrapped Moon class, so their origins are different.

As for light cruisers, the arrogant Salmin had never believed that light cruisers could participate in large-scale battles. If frigates were used to large-scale battlefields because they had unique strategic and reconnaissance significance, then light cruisers were used because the Empire was both poor and rich. They were so poor that they had to pull out warships that should not have been sent to the battlefield to die, and so rich that the Navy could throw away tens of thousands of them at will.

The Salmin, who hated this, decided to return them to their original duties as escort patrols. The Defiant-class light cruiser is the Empire's only aircraft-carrying light cruiser, equipped with two shuttle ramps and two lance turrets on the ridge.

Although the firepower is weak, the existence of carrier-based aircraft allows them to better and more conveniently clear out smuggling armed cargo ships, pirate raiders, frigates and other small ships. And if there are frigate-class ships that think the two light spear turrets are useless, when the more fragile hull is torn apart by the light spear, they will clearly know one thing - a larger ship is more powerful than a smaller one.

Similarly, the existence of carrier-based aircraft allows them to play their role in large-scale battles. They can be deployed to help the battleships with air defense and intercept torpedoes, and can also conduct reconnaissance when necessary.

The four completely empty fleets were first assigned an Arbitrator and a supercarrier as flagships. His operation was very complicated, yet simple. He now had five battle groups and four admirals in the empire. However, these were empty payrolls, even comparable to the late Ming Dynasty, with only some old, weak, and disabled people.

One Emperor's Dream and two Queens of Glory were not allowed to be taken out. The six World-Destroyers were simply held tightly in the hands of the Grand Marshal, and even the Space Marines on them were not withdrawn. After the Grand Marshal passed the message through the Custodians, he was completely sure that he was the Primarch. Now I am in a state where I want everything you give me, I listen to everything you say but don't believe it, and I say I don't know anything you ask.

What he has to do now is to settle the accounts through the system battleships as soon as possible. The four system fleets will first only build a flagship and a ship girl, and the other points will be used to build pure battleships. Next week, they will be retired from the system fleet and join the Armageddon fleet and use the vacated points to build new battleships. It is like transferring points from one hand to the other.

It was estimated that by the fourth week, after he retired the third batch of pure battleship fleets, it would be enough to assemble a huge fleet loyal to the God-Emperor and to him as the Admiral of the Lord of Armageddon. This would be enough to escort the super battleship girls he built for the fourth time and which were loyal only to him to rush to Cadia, and there would also be enough to leave a strong star zone naval fleet to defend the home.

稍微算一下就知道这种虚空刷兵是多么吓人——他本人4000分大表还剩200，也就是一艘阿伽门农级战列舰（185）加两艘眼镜蛇寡妇制造者级护卫舰（7*2）每周。而另外四张1200分的小表只需减去旗舰的360分，再乘以4，3360分。

The most terrifying thing is that this kind of 'Emperor's counterfeit currency' printed in the void can not only be spent, but also does not require any price to be paid. As long as he is still loyal to the Emperor, he will not stop. Yes, as long as he is still loyal to the Emperor...

Back to the point, each fleet can provide five Overlord-class battlecruisers, five Defiant-class light cruisers, ten Scimitar-class frigates, seven Cobra Widowmaker-class frigates, and one Sword-class frigate every week. Finally, there will be one Arbiter-class super battleship, two Damocles-class super battleships, and one Agamemnon-class battleship.

He glanced at his specially made pocket watch. Today was Thursday in the system, which meant that in four weeks, or 18 days to be exact, he would have four Arbiter-class battleships, eight Damocles-class battleships, eight Agamemnon-class battleships, sixty Overlord-class battlecruisers, sixty Provocation-class light cruisers, one hundred and twenty Scimitar-class frigates, ninety-two Cobra Widowmaker-class frigates, and twelve Sword-class frigates.

Soon, he will have a fleet that can really decide a battle. He closed his eyes with satisfaction, Emperor, you can't not even give me 18 days.

----------

"Why don't you close your eyes? I really regret your betrayal. To be honest, I quite like your loyalty to the God-Emperor." Inquisitor Erwin pulled the power sword out of the corpse. A thin layer of carapace was not much thicker than paper in front of the decomposition field. The only sound in the alley of Acheron's middle nest was the power sword.

“Don’t be so hypocritical, you Istvan guy.” Another black-robed man also untied his robe, carefully put away his gorgeous ice-blue staff, took out a small bag from the corpse and threw it hard. Several photos and some strange powder fell on the corpse. “Ha, it seems that you have taught a lot. What a pity, haha.”

He squatted down again and used the dim light from the ion pistol to identify the photo. He could vaguely see a magic circle and a blood-red chainsaw axe, with the words "Blood Father" written on it in elegant High Gothic.

Then, all darkness and secrets were devoured by the flames. In the impact, the robes of the two were blown aside, revealing a power armor with a rose knot on it. Under the cover of the explosion, the sharp blade of the Isstvan faction was more cunning than a venomous snake, but with the abnormal low temperature of psychic energy, the fine power sword could not move forward.

"You are even more hated by everyone. I don't even want to say the blasphemous name of that faction. He is the greatest sinner of the empire forever. Stop playing with your disgusting chaos sorcery." Erwin put away the sword with a sullen face. "There are still two days left. My, our ideal is just around the corner."

Chapter 47: Insects and Heroes

When the real siege began, the heavy artillery of the Imperial Guard was finally able to press forward into the void shield after the orcs lost the cover of the city's defenses.

Artillery, the king of war. The foundation of the human empire in this dark universe is not the less than 150 million Space Marines. It is artillery, light and heavy artillery far exceeding that of other races, and hundreds of billions of Astra Militarum that together form the flesh and blood wall called the Imperial Guard.

The first to enter the city were the 612th Regiment of the Death Korps of Krieg. When the Space Marine Stormbirds launched the first round of attacks and destroyed the city walls, they launched their own counterattack. In continuous mobile shooting and brutal hand-to-hand combat, they defeated the Ork defenders on the ruins of the city walls.

After that, they were urgently withdrawn with less than four companies left in the entire regiment. They were replaced by the 34th Regiment of the Mordian Iron Guard and the th Regiment of the Armageddon Iron Legion. These two regiments were equipped with a large number of Leman Russ tanks including Leman Russ Eradicators, which could effectively suppress the orcs in street fighting.
