Chapter 622 Retreat

Abaddon covered the terrifying gap in his chest with one hand and staggered to his feet with the help of the surrounding guards. The black sword still stayed in his body, but he couldn't pull it out at this time. Abaddon raised his head and glanced at Fu Qinghai. He saw the solid murderous intent from the black-armored warrior who was running towards him. Abaddon heard what Kayan said to him, even though it came from the mouth of his own bodyguard.

"I can't die, my work is not finished yet."

Abaddon whispered to himself:

"I can't die here!"

Abaddon gritted his teeth and said solemnly:

"Start teleportation, Kayan!"

The Spirit of Vengeance was attacked from behind by the parasitic legion, but after all, it was still a Glory Queen-class battleship. The hull structure was still intact and the teleportation deck was still functioning normally. After Abaddon's order was heard by Kayon, the teleportation device in the teleportation deck was immediately activated. In a flash of white light, Abaddon, together with the surrounding Terminator escorts, and Sigismund's body, disappeared from the bridge. in.

"Squeak!"

Fu Qinghai missed it.

The tips of the claws dug hard into the empty deck. In the surrounding air, only the pungent and bitter ether breath unique to the teleportation was left, as well as the flickering dust particles. Abaddon and the others had already disappeared.

Fu Qinghai climbed up from the ground.

Look out the porthole with a wide view of the bridge.

Densely packed large and small battleships fill the deep space, still struggling to strangle each other. The so-called "close space naval battle" is a space naval battle within the visual range. Although the Supreme Marshal of the Black Templars is dead, the Space Marines of the Black Templars did not give up resistance and dispersed. They are still fighting - including the remaining crew members of the super giant ship at their feet. The Eternal Crusade is still there. Galloping on the battlefield.

Fu Qinghai saw the spirit of revenge.

That exaggerated and eye-catching giant battleship.

They are running rampant among the battleship clusters.

"Want to run away? Do I agree?"

Fu Qinghai turned around and walked down.

Running quickly all the way to the torpedo deck.

…

The Black Legion's chance to fight back against the Empire as a strong and unified force was gone, and Daravik's actions forced them to abandon all ambitions.

At this most critical moment.

Kayan took great pressure and decision-making.

An order was issued to the entire fleet of the Black Legion:

Retreat, retreat outward at all costs.

If we say that the Black Legion "retreated in an orderly manner" under the attack of the Parasitic Legion and the Black Templar, then it does not describe the degree of chaos at all. Strictly speaking, what the Black Legion is doing is not a retreat, but an escape.

The entire fleet was torn apart in all directions, and under the pressure of survival, "revenge" and "punishment" were all forgotten. This may not be their proudest moment, but it is definitely their most tactically savvy moment so far. The Black Legion had no choice but to collapse in disorder.

Like a group of timid cockroaches, the black legion had already fled in all directions as soon as the enemy parasitic legion released a little sound and light. They abandoned the few remaining battleships of the Black Templar and let them face a brand new fleet.

At the same time, they also got rid of Daravik's battleship cluster, like quicksand passing through the gaps between fingers. The parasitic legion wanted to confront the black legion head-on, but the dark legion did not do what they wanted. The fleet fell into pieces and scattered in hundreds of directions. Within just tens of minutes, a fleet that moved neatly and in unison ceased to exist.

The swarm-like flight left the Black Legion fragmented and weakened, and each ship would be isolated in the territory of the Empire. Kayan knew this, but he had no choice. It was better to escape than to be wiped out.

An Apocalypse-class battleship of the Black Legion came out with a group of cruisers and frigates, creating a breach in the Black Temple's blockade. Many ships passed through this breach to gain freedom, and similar situations continued to occur.

One warship after another broke away from the attack line, rolled and turned to maneuver. Their subspace engines have been activated, and they have no regard for the minimum safe distance between each other. They directly tear open a vortex in the real universe and jump into the non-material world. This position is so close to the Eye of Terror, and the subspace situation is very unstable. Although these warships escaped from the immediate death zone, they also plunged into more dangerous dangers.

The Black Templar fleet, which had suffered serious losses in combat power, also began to retreat. Their retreat was orderly, heading at high speed to Mandeville Point in the nearby system and safely into the Warp. Kayan suddenly felt a little heartbroken when he saw them retreating - the Black Templars would travel across the entire empire, spreading warnings that the traitors had returned along the way, and the surprise advantage that the Black Legion once had was cruelly taken away from their hands.

"The Unsheathed Longsword has broken away." The machine spirit Enamenesis reported the ship's hull number one after another, with a sense of victory in her tone. "The Gentleman has broken away, and the Zeta has broken away. Condemn The Zer and Sigma have separated."

This disengagement is not without cost.

Kayon witnessed with his own eyes the entire process of a cruiser entering the warp rift: tendrils of dancing lightning stretched out from the wounds of reality, gripping the battleship tightly, sucking it into the blood basin of the immaterial world. Big mouthful.

A Black Templar warship happened to be within the range of the subspace vortex, so it started to spin and roll while dragging the flames. It was dragged into the cracks in the subspace right behind the cruiser. Neither the navigation array nor the Geller force field could Start in time. The two battleships had a total of tens of thousands of crew members, but the unrealistic force swept through the cabins like a flood and devoured all the crew members alive, regardless of whether they were friends or foes.

Many other warships were intercepted by the concentrated firepower of the Black Templar fleet. The blown iron blocks and split hulls carried the pain of death inflicted by the Dark Templar warships, dragging flames and rolling into the cracks. You can escape from death in one step. More than one battleship suffered the same tragic fate.

Facing the black army's scattered escape strategy.

The parasitic legion also came up with corresponding countermeasures.

A small boat can run easily, but a big boat can't escape!

Daravik's flagship is the battleship Overlord from the Death Guard Legion. This battleship rushed to the front, completely ignoring the landing ships and transport ships trailing behind from the Black Legion, and biting the severely damaged Spirit of Vengeance. , constantly ejecting fighter bombers to entangle enemy ships.

Even if the other warships of the Black Legion can escape, as long as the Soul of Vengeance falls, and as long as all the core backbone of the Black Legion on the Soul of Vengeance are killed, the Black Legion will be nothing more than a piece of scattered sand. Daravik, the Nurgle Chaos Wizard, may be fat and ugly, but he is not stupid.

"The Eternal Crusade is also coming!"

screamed the machine spirit Enamenesis.

The Parasitic Legion's Overlord battleship was biting the Spirit of Vengeance on the left, and the tattered Eternal Expedition also forced its way through the cover of many battleships from the right to outflank it. Two battleships, one large and one small, lined up to flank it. With this momentum, the Spirit of Vengeance was immediately attacked from both sides and suffered double attacks.

However, the Spirit of Vengeance is not an ordinary battleship, not even an ordinary Glory Queen-class battleship. This battleship cannot be described by common sense. Simply repeating its actions violates common sense of reason and physics. . It’s hard to imagine unless you see it with your own eyes.

Reports dating back to the time of the Horus Heresy describe the Vengeful Spirit as a flagship capable of maneuvering with incredible agility and raining down firepower from unnatural weapons of unknown origin. The Eye of Terror's changes to the Vengeful Spirit are not limited to the battlemented fortresses on the spine and the blasphemous decoration in the core - those who dwell in the Eye of Terror infuse madness and lethality into the steel frame of the warship.

The Spirit of Vengeance and the Eternal Crusade passed each other, so close that even the void shields of both sides squeezed and rubbed against each other amidst sharp whistling sounds. The crew members in the Spirit of Vengeance did not suffer too many casualties, and were still shouting noisily to report various conditions and data:

Reports of shield output data echoed on the bridge; a fighter escort team took off from Gnakuli, and the fighter pilots' calls filled the entire communication channel. The weapons supervisors on the gun deck responded to their calls at the top of their lungs. The device issues various commands. The shield-illuminated spine fortress of the Eternal Crusade filled the viewfinder.

There are three warships, two large and one small, traveling side by side. The Spirit of Vengeance is always the fastest and most forward warship. A turn of the Eternal Crusade is estimated to take a minute or more to complete. The Vengeful Spirit did not fall for a second, raised its head at full speed, reversed the direction of the ship's bow, and slammed its hull into the battleship Overlord next to it.

The law of inertia does not allow such a large warship to perform such a sensitive maneuver at such a high speed, but in less than three breaths, the entire tactical action was completed. The battleship Overlord was knocked sideways, like a minke whale knocked over by a sperm whale. The shield light film shattered and dissipated instantly, and a large piece of the side of the hull was sunken.

However, this battleship that once belonged to the Death Guard Legion was very tough and tenacious. While being knocked out of the waterway and out of the waterway, it actually turned at an angle according to its inertia and fired several torpedoes at the Spirit of Vengeance. At such a close distance, the torpedoes were almost unavoidable. They were like thin needles inserted into the Spirit of Vengeance, but they did not explode.

They are all torpedoes!

There is no doubt that no Chaos Warlord can resist the temptation of this great warship, the Vengeful Spirit.

"Analysis of damaged parts of the hull..."

The machine spirit Enamenesis said:

"The coordinates of the invasion force have been marked."

"Where is Ezekiel?"

Kayan turned his head and asked loudly.

"The gang-hopping team recovered all of them seven minutes ago. Lord Abaddon... is currently receiving treatment on the medical deck. The Sunless Blade Guards should also be there."

The machine spirit Enamenesis replied solemnly.

"Kayan, look!"

Moliana next to her suddenly said:

"Daravik, his fleet, is disintegrating!"

Kayan turned to look at the screen, and suddenly found that the parasitic legions were spreading out one battleship after another, one warband after another. Many warband leaders in the Parasitic Legion have returned to the real universe, and their attention to their own affairs far exceeds the grievances between Daravik and Ezekiel. Having keenly experienced what freedom feels like, they now take their destiny into their own hands.

The parasitic army abandoned Daravik!

The warships that made up the Parasitic Legion fleet dispersed in all directions, completely ignoring the order of the Lord of the Parasitic Legion to surround the Spirit of Vengeance, and began to frantically attack and plunder the Black Legion's logistics fleet. They saw those ships carrying ammunition, energy, and supplies. The transport ships and landing ships carrying supplies and mortal slaves were almost unable to move. Once the little abacus in his heart sounded, he didn't care about the host of the army at all.

"Ha ha, alright!"

Kayan immediately ordered with a grin:

"Don't attack any warships that desert Daravik. Anamenesis, you will command the fleet, and I will deal with the defecting troops. The host of the army, the grudge between me and him must be settled today, and I will make them feel Feel like home!”

Kayon left with his Eldar Scourge Girl and Demonic Lynx Nagua. At this time, there was another slight shaking and tremor in the hull, but this time it came from the other side.

"The port side was also torpedoed!"

Machine spirit Enamenesis said:

"The damaged areas have been marked."

…

"boom--"

The jumping torpedo was inserted hard into the hull of the battleship.

After the melta warhead burned through the outermost layer of adamantine armor, there was no remaining power left. The torpedo was stuck in the middle of two dark unmanned passages. The twisted and bent but not completely broken pillars and corridors wrapped the torpedo. There was a harsh scratching sound in the dark corridor, the metal was torn apart, and a pair of sharp claws tore open the column bridge blocking the way.

A black-armored warrior emerged from it.

A rich red light erupted from the eyepiece.

"There's something weird in this big ship, Qingshan!"

Just stepped onto the deck of the Vengeful Spirit.

Freddy in the suit immediately spoke.

"I smell the devil's scent."

Varak chuckled and said:

"Let's get started, I can't wait."

"There are demons in this ship, lots and lots of them."

Pazuzu also reminded in his ear:

"This is an enchanted battleship, Qingshan."

"Isn't that what I want?"
