Chapter 11: Death of Typhus
When the safe retreat turned into a man-eating devil's kiln, the brewing despair reached its peak at this moment. The giant sword rushed like thunder and cut off the body of the evil creature. The battered hull of the Terminus Est could no longer withstand the impact of another battleship and six battleship-class torpedoes. The port side surrendered and exploded under the sacred flames.
What was even more terrifying was that there was a battleship on each side of the Terminus Est at this time, and the terrifying power of the two opposing battleship engines was almost tearing the Terminus Est apart. No, it was tearing it apart - everyone heard the keel's wail!
"Who is commanding the battlefield?" Speyer's resolute voice broke the silence in the Imperial communication channel. 'Admiral Quarren', there were sporadic responses, but Quarren's voice never rang out. Speyer looked at the stalemate and cruel battlefield in front of him. Someone had to command the battle.
"I am Admiral Speyer. I will now temporarily take over the battlefield command. Everyone must obey my command." Speyer's voice was majestic and magnetic, as if it had a kind of magical appeal. Even though this was a name that no one had ever heard of, everyone still chose to trust him, and even the Astartes naturally obeyed his command.
When Quarren was temporarily unconscious due to the plague, Spyr suddenly appeared from the subspace rift to stabilize the situation and was ordered to take charge. In just one round of bombardment, the originally chaotic battle situation was miraculously reorganized under his planning. It was even more reasonable than before, fully exerting the advantages of the current imperial forces, more numbers, and stronger long-range firepower.
Not only in the macro battlefield strategy of the Empire and Chaos, but also in the more detailed battlefield, Spyr still demonstrated his excellent micro-management ability. For a time, the Empire had an absolute advantage in every battle on the entire battlefield. Obviously, if this continued, it would end with the Empire's undoubted victory.
But this kind of victory was not what Speyer wanted. What he wanted was a great victory. An absolute, hearty victory!
In fact, before the collision, he had already ordered the accompanying sage on his ship to temporarily change the fuses of the torpedoes, requiring the four torpedoes to be detonated as soon as they left the barrel. This was a somewhat taboo and illegal modification, and if it weren't for their many years of friendship, he would not have given such an order to the sage.
He calculated that the heavy adamantium ship could withstand such a blow. But the Imperial flagship, which was engaged in a tense boarding battle with the Chaos Astartes, might not be able to hold out. The lesser of the two was the better, and it was not a doubt that the Chaos fleet, which was already in complete chaos, would not flee after the flagship sank.
After receiving the news that most of the Rose's main forces and the unconscious admiral had been withdrawn, Speyer waved his hand heavily, bringing the battle to an end. "Lightning strike!"
The adamantine keel that had managed to hold on until now with the willpower of its biological form still failed to escape the battlefield or capture the Imperial battleship. Under the fury of four battleship-class torpedoes, the rear third of the 16,000-meter-long fallen battleship was completely torn apart, and two equally huge Imperial battleships staggered past each other in its final explosion.
Passing by, just passing by. But just like a Titan walking on earth, it would open up an irreversible road between the mountains. When the two magnificent ships passed by at 300th of the speed of light with only a few thousand meters between them, all the debris between them was shattered by the terrifying gravity.
Typhus died. It was a ridiculous death, the Chosen of Nurgle turned into an extremely compressed ball of flesh. But it was so natural.
Let's put it this way, even if we don't care about the relative speed, if we use the Nemesis-class 8000 million tons (2 megatons in wg) and the distance of 2 kilometers, and ignore the error and use the interplanetary gravity formula g=GM/R^2.13504, we can get an outrageous data of 10*19*426^, and the real data is only higher. times gravity is too child's play. Even if a super Saiyan who can smash the multiverse with one blow comes today, he will die under trillion times gravity.
The war was over. Under Spyr's command, except for the Plague Fleet Vanguard who fled the battlefield when the situation turned bad, the flagship Terminus Est, Nurgle's Chosen Typhus, and the Marauder-class battleship Blackwood were all killed in the Ursol system. This battle was a great victory for the Imperial Navy.
At the cost of one battleship severely damaged, two slightly damaged, three cruisers sunk, and dozens of escort ships, the Plague Fleet was defeated, and its main fleet and rearguard fleet were annihilated. Two battleships including the infamous Terminus Est, two heavy cruisers, four cruiser squadrons, and eight escort squadrons were confirmed sunk.
They miraculously destroyed the Plague Fleet's manpower from a strategic perspective before the real main fleet arrived. Even if the Plague Fleet was reorganized later, the Plague Fleet without the Terminus Est and the Chosen of Nurgle was just a name.
After the war, Admiral Quarren, who personally led the navy boarding team to board the flagship of Nurgle, recovered from the Mechanicus's treatment at all costs, or in other words, recovered in the Mechanicus's way. Although he could not leave the warship and go to the battlefield, it was still possible to spend a small amount of money on treatment. One quarter of his body was replaced with steel, all of which were the highest quality high-end goods exclusively for the Mechanicus's sages.
While Quaren continued to recuperate, Speyer suddenly appeared in the battle and intercepted and destroyed the enemy flagship. At the same time, he was ordered to command the battle and won a great victory. He was elected commander of the combined fleet. Even the Astartes and Mechanicus troops were clearing the Nurgle infection in the entire star sector under his command.
At this time, the imperial forces in the Agrippina sector finally had a chance to breathe. With complete control of the universe, the imperial army, with the assistance of Speyer, the enlightened naval commander, and the assistance of the White Archon Chapter Astartes, contained the spread of the plague in just half a month.
If they continue like this, they may even be able to eliminate the Nurgle infection in the entire sector within five years. This speed is simply incredible. Five years, at the speed of the Empire, the first reinforcement force should not have arrived yet, and may even be in preparation.
Just like this, until the news of Agrippina's victory reached Skarrus, a warp rift so large that it seemed to tear the entire sky apart appeared in the Crown of Thracian. No, it was not a warp rift. It was that too many fleets jumped out at the same time, so that the warp channels seemed to be connected to an observable gap!
Diao Chan, who had ridden a horse in the Warp for a month and a half, finally arrived. 40998.10.24,14, 20:999, ten days later than scheduled, but more than enough to reach Cadia before 41.M, Salmin arrived with all his belongings. He had been running in the Warp for two months and didn't know what happened, but he knew what to do now.
——Seize power!
The prosperous Skarrus Sector will become his rear base against the 13th Black Crusade. Cadia alone cannot afford so many fleets and so many troops. If he doesn't want to cut costs, he has only one way, open up the prairie!
Chapter 12: Salmin and Alpharius
Seize power. From the ancient feudal era to the Apostasy War in the 36th millennium, and then to the Badab War in the 41st millennium, this word is always intertwined with humans or other races and is inseparable.
The so-called seizure of power must rely on force. When the party that wants to seize power does not have absolute justice, civil war is inevitable. What is justice in the human empire? The emperor is the absolute justice - then Salmin, who controls a part of the imperial guards, according to the most traditional ancient Roman imperial guards inheritance law, he is the absolute justice!
When the Skarus fleet hastily assembled three squadrons, two battleships, three cruiser squadrons, and seven escort squadrons near the Thracian Crown to "confront" an unknown fleet of eight super battleships, four Agamemnon-class battleships, and eighteen Overlord-class battlecruisers, a strange order came from the rear.
This fleet was a friendly force coming from the Solar Sector to support the Fortress Fleet. The Imperial Navy's Skarrus Military Affairs Department asked them to immediately stop all hostile actions and escort them into the port. It was not until this moment that the commander of the front line felt relieved. The three squadrons had a total of 60 warships, which seemed to be twice as many as the other side. But the difference in tonnage between the two sides was nearly times, so there was no point in fighting.
The front-line commander who stopped greeting his immediate superior's family didn't want to think about why his boss' attitude had completely reversed in just thirteen days. He only knew that he didn't have to die in vain in a civil war without dignity and honor.
So what happened in those thirteen days? Thirteen days is a very short time for the Imperial Fleet to gather. Well, for the Emperor's greatest masterpiece, the Custodians, just a few days was enough for them to seize an entire galaxy by force.
It just so happens that the Emperor's Claws on the Emperor's Dream are a replica of the legendary army that once undertook the glorious duty of guarding the Emperor himself. They have a special feature, that is, there are a lot of Custodians - how can the honor of guarding the Emperor be handed over to others? If they can't beat the Primarch, they can't beat you either?
Salmin, who had reserved three times the number of troops in advance, made a powerful move. A good warrior does not have to achieve great success. He only has to do one thing, to defeat the weak with the strong.
In fact, when Salmin and the Emperor's Dream, which was full of guardsmen and sisters of silence, quietly approached the capital of Thracian Crown from stealth, the outcome of the power seizure was doomed.
The reason why the aircraft carriers are the best of the game is that the aircraft carriers are classified as weapons instead of troops. This means that they can deploy twice as many aircraft in fleet battles, which also provides another way to play. The two aircraft carriers who are temporarily on board the Emperor Fantasy can launch an additional 720 aircraft!
Adding the 500 fighters from Salmin, there were a total of 1220 fighters. And this was just the first wave of Fury interceptors. The Thracian Crown, which had mobilized all its forces but was not fully aware of the danger of this imperial fleet, had almost no ability to resist this ridiculously close air attack.
All electronic communications, whether with or without psychic power, could not cause any damage under the electronic warfare of the Iron Man of Salmin. It was only because the Empire was so backward that the Iron Man would have suffered more than just a simple communication blockage. But even so, it was like a replica of the Iraq War.
The resistance on the Thracian Crown was better than nothing. In just the second round of the raid, the overwhelming sea and air forces destroyed all the anti-aircraft firepower and the fighters that dared to resist. Following closely behind were the Storm Birds loaded with imperial guards. This pair of invincible fish bombers easily captured all the important locations.
As for the Star Tongue Court, this place, which was theoretically the most difficult to capture without casualties, was peacefully liberated by a team of Silent Sisters without casualties on both sides. The psychics surrendered without sending a single Star Tongue. Before the first round of airstrikes, the department that should have been warned the most was the first to send one.
The poor intelligence system led to a large number of troops being inexplicably defeated and surrendering, and they didn't even know what happened after surrendering. They only knew that they were instantly defeated by a group of "Angels of Death" and then these "Astartes" called them to surrender, so they surrendered directly. In a civil war, the other side was still the "Angels of Death". If they didn't surrender, would they go to hell?
They only saw thousands of golden lights falling from the sky under the cover of a black mass of aircraft - the landing capsule of the Imperial Guard. Salmin sent down nearly 4,000 Imperial Guards in one go, a configuration that was enough to fight the Lion's Gate Battle, but in return, the entire planet was cleared in two hours. The capital of Skarus and 80% of the "carnivores" fell into his clutches.
Then came the paradise world Tantris, the mining (promethium) world Buyaboss... the entire galaxy fell without any resistance and without any warning, while the Imperial Navy was still gathering in vain towards Mandeville Point in the Thracian galaxy under false orders.
Seize the Thracian system, zero for 40,000. In fact, his purpose of sending out as many elite troops as possible was to reduce the loss of these imperial soldiers. Every innocent imperial soldier who died in the battle told of his crime. But if he did not seize Skarus or used other methods, it would cause far more casualties.
He didn't want to say that this was a necessary sacrifice, there was no need to comfort himself with such an excuse. The premise of sacrificing for the greater good was "active", in fact he just counted them as his own losses, as the price of victory for the human group in the 13th Black Crusade.
Salmin has always known clearly where he came from. Life in the Lower Nest has only increased his disgust for the Empire. He is an Earthling, and has always been. After forty thousand years, why should he consider himself a part of the Empire? As he once said to Yarick, he is a human being, nothing more.
In Warhammer 40k, he only cares about the group of "humans" and the ship girls. He said, "I am Alpharius." It's not just a disguise. He is stating the fact - he is Alpharius, he cares about the better survival of mankind, helping the Empire is just that humans now exist in the form of the Empire, he is not a part of the Empire.
In thirteen days, he led his army to capture the capital Crown of Thrace, the shipyard Heikoson, the forge world Modax Prime, the original capital Gudrun, the forge world Nissastrumro, and the large shipyard Skyren at the fastest speed and with the least casualties. The six most essential star systems were all in his hands, as well as the entire star zone's administrative system and large families.
Under his will, the productivity of the entire star region was fully integrated, and everything would be turned to serve the war. With the support of the terrifying computing power of the Emperor's Dream, the troops were disbanded and reorganized, and more suitable commanders were replaced. But he did not expand the navy, or in other words, before the industrial upgrade was completed and more naval supplies could be provided, any blind expansion of the army would be a crime.
He has fifty-five days to reverse humanity's succumbing to the Dark Galactic Future before the arrival of 999.M41. He has said, "I will save the world (human) world (kind)."
Chapter 13: Change and the Name of Hu Ji
Humanity is his world, or in other words, his identity as a human is his only connection with the Warhammer universe. If he was not a human from the beginning, he would be more inclined to find a paradise world or a virgin world to rule over, rather than sacrifice his life for the future of mankind (physics).
But it was useless to say all this now. The entire Skarrus sector was in his hands, and he completed the initial war integration in just half a month. The huge fleet easily swept away all the surrounding Chaos, Eldar, Orcs, and Pirates. When the number of battleships was greater than the number of enemy fleets, any tactics would be irrelevant.
Except for the Eldar who can still move freely with the help of the Webway Gate, the military forces of Chaos and Orks are firmly locked on a few planets. The rest is the bad war that the Empire is best at, which is the job of the Astra Militarum, and the Navy will not get involved.
It is worth mentioning that after Salmin completely seized power, in order to solve the morale problem, a pension system was established, changing the British style of the Empire leaving only honors and state funerals for the dead. This was also thanks to the household registration system based on Iron Man and the "Skarrus Sector Imperial Citizenship Law". When AI once again appeared on the stage of people's livelihood after ten thousand years, the Empire finally looked like a modern country.
For the first time, the nearly trillion cheap laborers in the entire star region started to operate under the unified regulation of the government. A large number of private enterprises were nationalized in the coup. The two small and medium-sized forge worlds also recalled the fact that the Mechanicus was now a monastic order of the Empire under the fleet that covered the sky. The entire star region burst into unprecedented vitality.
Every speck of dust from the times weighs on a person like a mountain. When Salmin cleared the cement slabs of the times, people who struggled to survive finally had the possibility of living. The combination of planned economy and rationing ensured that every citizen of the empire had enough food and clothing, and the four-shift twelve-hour work system gave them a lot of free time.
Just like seventy years ago, his free time was used to attend night school - literacy, sacred words, Om Messiah prayer, basic mathematics, militia training. He was training a group of highly qualified technical workers, and at the same time, this group of people had a relatively firm belief and basic combat literacy - undoubtedly a group of high-value currency.
Salmin looked around and found that women's liberation and gender equality did not need his adjustment. The Empire even achieved the "ideal Soviet model of gender equality" that was enough for 3 people to study hard. Men and women are all part of the human group. There is no such thing as gender equality, which means that gender equality itself has always existed as a basic consensus.
The biggest difference between the people's livelihood in the Empire and 3K is the nobility. The nobility has become an integral part of the Imperial system, and the most outrageous thing is that even under the Salmin time traveler-style house-raiding and family-destroying, as many as % of the nobility survived - are there really so many loyal white lotuses?
After he realized that the nobles were an important part of the empire and not the oppressors and insects he imagined, he had to do his best to remedy the situation and select new nobles to fill the ecological niche. After rewarding the remaining nobles, Salmin immediately implemented the military merit system before the full-scale suppression of bandits. The system of the Warring States period was slightly modified and still usable.
When selecting talents, including military generals, the Empire adopted the "kinship and respect" approach of the pre-Spring and Autumn Period, mainly selecting from slave-owning nobles. Military merits on the battlefield were recorded under the names of military generals, and ordinary Astra Militarum soldiers were considered to have an obligation to serve the Empire no matter how much merit they had made in the war.
They are far away from home and will never return. The military merits they have gained will not change their social status. But now, the Skarus star region with a complete household registration system has thirteen major star systems and twenty-four barren star systems. When the charm of industrialization is fully demonstrated, a large number of planets will be opened up as new settlements.
As long as he gained enough military merit, a beggar who scraped for food in the industrial waste of the Lower Nest could become a respected pioneer noble, and the Empire happened to have enough wars and land to maintain this short-term system, like the Astartes Codex, a short-term system that could last for ten thousand years.
In order not to affect the overall situation of industrialization, he only secretly promoted it in a small area for trial. Anyway, the effect was average - the morale of the Star Army was already very high, but the military merit system was still qualified as a means to supplement the ecological niche of the nobility. The empire would never lack wars and grassroots management positions. According to his current calculations, it could maintain a rising period of about 4000 years.
As for why morale is so high? The Imperial Army and PDF who died in the heroic resistance during the seizure of power were still given pensions by Salmin as if they died in battle against Chaos. At the same time, after Salmin came to power, he repaid the previously overdue wages and armaments, which made the morale of these Imperial Army even higher.
But the army being the main force does not mean that the navy has completely disappeared. After completely losing the power to control the universe, the two barren planets completely occupied by the orcs were directly subjected to the extermination order of the Imperial Navy. The virus bombs burned down the two main incubation sites and arsenals of the orcs - Salmin is not short of these two barren planets now, but time and manpower.
Everything was thriving, but without his noticing, a corner of the highest heaven was shouting a name - "Hu Ji"!
But in his eyes, the Skarrus sector was stable and improving, a place full of vitality and everything was flourishing. The only thing that stood in Salmin's way was the Eldar mirror fortress, Kettrar Sanctuary, which theoretically belonged to the Skarrus sector but was actually not under the control of the Empire.
A fortress world that was not on a major transportation route and had no benefits, and the key point was that it was a fortress world of the Eldar. A fortress world connected to the webway, even if he took it down, he would have to station a large number of troops. It would be better not to fight, and he was not a natural war maniac like the Empire, with a racial cleanliness obsession.
In his view, war is an extension of politics and should serve the interests. The Ark Eldar are not incommunicable, and they are not necessarily his enemies. On the contrary, if Chaos wins the 13th Black Crusade, it will be the end of these Eldar. They have the same enemy, so it is not impossible for them to live in peace at this time.
Yes, the amazing thing is that Salmin, who has always regarded himself as a human being and is proud of being human, is not a racist. Even though he almost broke the spine of the orcs - destroying the orc tribe headed by the Bonebreaker, he still has to say that he does not unconditionally hate aliens.
Diplomacy is to make enemies as few as possible, friends as many as possible, and unite all forces that can be united. Although Salmin himself did not believe that the Eldar would fight alongside them, non-aggression and the use of the webway were enough for him to recognize these temporary allies.
There is no need for a community of shared destiny, a common anti-chaos alliance can bring him a stable rear. As for whether the Eldar will ally with them, Salmin believes that the huge gap in strength between the two sides will make them calm down and listen carefully to the ideas of the "monkeys". Danzig or war, a very classic choice question.
Chapter 14: Danzig or War
Danzig or war, a very classic multiple-choice question.
On a peaceful day like any other, a fleet of pure white warships dotted with gorgeous gold broke into the territory of the Ostara Ark with clear astronomical communications. The human fleet was so magnificent that the three cruisers and more than a dozen escort ships that the Eldar warriors had barely managed to get together fled in all directions at the first sight.
The Eldar characteristics brought by the spirit bones instantly turned to sprinting and showed off to the Salmin, but what was the use? It was just a group bombardment in a general direction to cure all the fancy things. There were always a few missed shots from the numerous macro cannons and light spears, and the firepower of the Imperial capital ships that were specifically designed to smash the void shields was completely overflowing against the Eldar light ships.
One thing that must be understood is that in order to better utilize the advantages of mobility, the Eldar warships usually deploy more than 90% of their firepower points in the front, while the flanks and tail are reserved for the gorgeous solar sails. This means that the only counterattack force of the Eldar fleet at this time is only a few fighter squadrons on the Eclipse-class cruiser.
The two-hour pursuit was like a unilateral hunting trip by the Salmin Fleet. Any brave ship that dared to stop and fight back would be rewarded with a series of big beatings, and running away blindly was just a way to survive. Unfortunately, these human warships were ridiculously fast. The battleships ran as fast as cruisers and could not be shaken off in a short time.
The Eldar, who had always relied on their strategic and tactical mobility to defeat the weak and the few with the strong, were unable to fight back against such a powerful sector-level naval fleet. Even though the fleet commander repeatedly requested to fight the opponent - a mere monkey was like a god in front of the noble Eldar.
No matter how powerful the Eldar warships were, using cruisers to fight against four or five times the number of battleships was no longer humanly feasible, and the old prophet finally made a decision - to awaken Kane's incarnation, board the flagship, capture the enemy's supreme commander and force humans to leave. This was the last effort they could make.
Even if the Dao has given feedback that it is doomed to fail, what can they do? It just so happens that after Kane's incarnation was shattered, he also had a reason to surrender - it was extremely abnormal for humans to accept surrender after the war began. Could it be that they also saw the doomsday future where the world was torn apart?
The old prophet knew that believing that humans would not kill captives was just as good as believing that the Lady of Thirst (Slaanesh) would no longer suck souls, but since it was part of the prophecy, he still chose to believe it. Because the prophecy was supreme, absolute, and everything to them. "Please ask the young king to come over."
The Avatar of Cain does not exist in the material world forever. Although his strength is very weak, he has a high status. The Ritual of the Young King is a ceremony to awaken the Avatar of Cain. When awakening the Avatar of Cain, the so-called Young King will take off his full body armor and carve runes of war on his back.
Afterwards, the young king will enter the shrine with the forged Wailing Doom as the weapon of Kane's incarnation. When Kane's incarnation walks out of the shrine and leads the army in the Ark to attack the enemy, the young kings who entered the shrine will no longer be seen.
The young king is undoubtedly precious, but it is nothing compared to the nearly 10,000 young men in the 17 warships. Those are tens of thousands of Eldar warriors who have embarked on the road of the Tao. They cannot be sacrificed in a meaningless dispute. The prophecy has clearly revealed the future, so why do we still resist? To the point of sacrificing the young king.
But even the respected old prophet of Ostakala Ark in Deron could not make the entire Ark and the Eldar privateers gathered nearby surrender to the monkey with just one prophecy. The dignity of the Eldar forced them to choose to bow their heads only after tasting defeat. The old prophet could not help but resent the commander of the Imperial Fleet. Since the purpose was to form an alliance, why not just not open fire? Can't we talk it out nicely?
But now it was too late, the young king had already been sent to the shrine. The old prophet watched the excited warriors crowding around the tall and sacred shrine, waiting for the incarnation of the god of war to come and lead them to victory. He couldn't help but sigh, he was watching them die, but only the death of the most radical warriors could bring more compatriots to survive, "Alas, nothing has changed."
Next, Cain Avatar will lead hundreds of elite soldiers through the webway into the Firestorm Dragon Ship "Black Corruptor". As a precious ancient capital ship, Black Corruptor has a webway connected to Ostara Ark. And this powerful reinforcement is enough to reverse the situation in the eyes of the radicals, probably.
Regardless of its strength, Cain's incarnation played a significant role in boosting morale. The Eldar warriors, who had been running all the way and suffering round after round of beatings, saw the tall figure wrapped in holy fire walking towards them from the webway. Even the other personality of the mask could not suppress their joy, and cheers after cheers dispelled their depression and panic.
The monkeys could not possibly defeat the great and noble Eldar, until now, they had believed so, and what they needed now was a counterattack strong enough to send the Black Corruptor with its Avatar aboard to the side of the Imperial fleet's flagship, the extraordinarily large carrier (the Arbiter super-battleship Roon).
The aircraft carrier as the flagship will be their biggest flaw - in order to chase the Eldar at high speed, the aircraft carrier did not release the too slow carrier-based aircraft. At this time, close combat is advantageous to us! As long as Kane's incarnation launches an attack, everything will be fine. Do you dare to disobey me who has the spirit bones?
The spirit bones gave the Eldar warships super maneuverability beyond common sense. How could a World War II fighter plane break the situation when it was bitten on the tail? Pull up to make the opponent stall or use a large-scale maneuver to get behind the enemy plane? More sci-fi, shut down the engine and fall behind the enemy plane like a fallen leaf? In any case, it was to get behind the enemy plane.
The Eldar warship's extraordinary maneuverability means it can turn in a circle in less than a minute. This is completely unscientific and even un-psychic considering the size of the warships in the Warhammer universe. But the Eldar can do it. This is not a turn in physics. Even the clown can't withstand such terrifying G-force. Instead, the reality of "turning" is achieved by the spirit bones.
There were streaks of starlight in the dark sky, but they were not meteors, but the gorgeous light of the solar sails refracted by the holographic stand to form a gorgeous light band. However, the holographic stand was effective against the ribs that could hit whatever you pointed at, and it would be useless if your armor penetration was not up to me. However, it was not ideal for the human warships, which were always poorly distributed.
Wows, there’s an old saying, “You’re good at twisting, but I’m terrible at walking.”
Behind these rays of starlight were hundreds of densely packed scorching light beams. The Imperial fleet's bombardment was like pouring water, forcing the Eldar fleet to flee. The two destroyed warships turned to counterattack and could not turn back quickly, so they were instantly killed. Therefore, even though the remaining warships were all injured, they still fled with all their hearts.
No one wants to die. No one dares to die next to the Eye of Terror and become a snack for the Thirst Lady. The Soul Stone cannot withstand the spear of light.
This cowardice that the Empire did not have led to the fact that they did not have the courage to fight back until the incarnation of Cain arrived. When the fleet entered the nebula, all the warships turned at the same time in a strange psychic flash and blew the horn of counterattack, "For Ostara!"
Chapter 15: The White Ship Incident
"For Ostara!" The passionate war cry accompanied by waves of psychic energy spread throughout the entire fleet of Eldar warships. All the humiliation seemed to turn into bone-eating flames at this moment. It was also like a latent dragon rising from the abyss. The humiliation and anger condensed into a soaring fighting spirit. Ostara was fearless -
Even if three cruisers and twelve frigates were to head-on attack a huge array consisting of eight super battleships, four Agamemnon-class battleships, and eighteen Overlord-class battlecruisers, it would be a true death charge!
But for the Salmin Fleet, which has an absolute advantage in quantity and quality, the Eldar hiding in the nebula is just a continuation of death. Unlike in the game, the movement of warships in reality will make the limited cover of the nebula seem like nothing. Want to escape?
Therefore, the Imperial fleet only stopped firing for a moment when the Eldar warships sank into the nebula and the strange interference was spread all over the field. However, it was not a bad thing for the Eldar to hide in the nebula. Salmin hoped to take this opportunity to shorten the distance between the two sides. The closer, the better for them.
Strong on the front battlefield is strong, absolute suppression in quality and quantity, as long as the commander does not make a fool, he will win. And Salmin is stable enough, his level is at least the schoolmaster's level. If he wants to defeat the strong with the weak, he must cross the Chishui River four times.
The firepower of a standard Imperial fleet at short and medium range far exceeds that of the Eldar fleet, which mainly engages in guerrilla warfare, and its formation will never be chaotic. Then, as long as the active radar is turned on after countering the interference, victory will be easy to obtain.
Coincidentally, the Eldar also think so. Close combat is in our favor! As long as the Avatar of Cain launches an attack, everything will be fine. When the brave Avatar of Cain grabs and crushes the arrogant mortal commander who asked them to surrender in the astronomical language, the entire enemy army will collapse in front of the noble Eldar and let them take whatever they want!
The short seventeen minutes passed in the tacit silence of both sides, and when the powerful pulse of the active radar swept across the battlefield that had been silent for a moment, the peaceful starry sea turned into a boiling oil pan - the scorching sea of light spears lit up the galaxy but could not cover the dense torpedoes of both sides.
At such a close distance, neither side had the ability to dodge, and whether they surfaced or dived, they would just let the friendly forces in the second echelon take the damage. And after the Overlord and Agamemnon class were the four Arbiter supercarriers and four Damocles class supercombats that were the main force of the fleet. How could a ship girl take the damage for a mass-produced ship?
But since you can't avoid it, why not just block it? Four Arbiter supersonic ships are more than just good-looking, they're just a sea of torpedoes. Watch me push them back with my interceptors!
The Eldar also made similar moves, but due to their smaller numbers they were more inclined to dodge, and their formation inevitably became chaotic. At the same time, two unlucky guys were severely damaged by a torpedo and had to leave the battlefield, which gave Salmin a flaw to win with one strike.
Salmin really doesn't understand what these Eldar are doing. Don't they have an accurate understanding of the strength of both sides? It's normal for them not to surrender at the beginning. The Empire is notorious for its racial cleanliness + genocidal regime, but didn't I provide humanitarian aid to the Eldar in distress on the two destroyed warships? Now you run away all the way and suddenly rush back to die. What's the operation?
"The escort formation moves forward to intercept the torpedoes, and then launches two waves of furious attacks to paralyze the enemy fleet." In a crushing situation, Salmin didn't need to do anything at all, and even only sent out interceptors to carry out anti-ship attacks with those two plasma bombs. If it were the Starhawk, only one round of bombing would turn the Eldar fleet into a pile of bones, but Salmin was not here to make a complete enemy.
The annihilation of the Eldar fleet was only a tactical goal. The Eldar, who had completely made enemies, relied on the guerrilla warfare of the Webway to turn the entire Skarrus into the Middle East. Salmin had no interest in fighting a security war for hundreds of years. His strategic purpose or interest in attacking the Eldar was only one - to rent the Webway.
This war is different from the previous wars of extermination launched by humans. It is not a war of races, but a common struggle for interests. His white ship will forcibly cover Ostara, open the door of the Eldar shogunate, and sign the "Skarus-Ostara Treaty of Friendship". This is his goal.
He had been steadily advancing the encirclement and suppression until he noticed that the Eldar fleet was in a standard boarding formation under the cover of two rounds of torpedoes. Only then did he react to what the Eldar were going to do, but he couldn't figure out where the other side got the courage to board them. I thought that the Eldar didn't have a Primarch either, so how dare you?
