Infinite Metaverse

Terra, orbital space.

The Battle Moon still hangs high in the orbit of the Throne World, but it is no longer the master of the void.

The fleets of the White Scars and the Imperial Fists turned around and left the orbit of Mars. More than 150 warships of different sizes were divided into several groups and slowly spread out along the edge of the maximum range of the Battle Moon's gravity weapons, like a pair of open hands, about to grab the sphere aimed at.

Behind them, the huge mechanical ark of the ruling sage Adeptus Macanny was hidden, as well as the frigates and cruisers next to the ark, their metal bellies were filled with red-robed soldiers and knight mechas ready to go.

The Battle Moon is located in orbit above the northwest hemisphere of Terra, and in orbit across the southeast hemisphere of Terra from the Battle Moon, there is another important ship, the Eternal Cephalax, the flagship of the Supreme Lord Admiral Lanson, and the remaining fleet of the Imperial Navy around the flagship.

After the previous battle to rescue the Endin Hive World, Fu Qinghai already knew: the battle moon itself has no mobility. It does not have some kind of planetary propulsion engine like the movie "The Wandering Earth". The battle moon relies entirely on teleportation technology for deployment and can only rotate slowly at most - so Lan Song can hide on the other side of the throne world.

The fleets of White Scar and Imperial Fist have completed the formation.

The battleships of the Imperial Navy are still motionless.

"Send a signal to the Eternal Cephalax again."

Fu Qinghai leaned on the strategic platform of the Rectification, and the projection of another Emperor-class battleship was reflected in his pupils.

"Still no response, Khan."

The crew sitting in front of the communication equipment shook his head and said.

"Just stop there and do nothing?"

Targukin asked angrily in the projection:

"Is he worthy of being called the Supreme Lord Admiral?"

"Don't worry about him, Qingshan."

Mandulatu suggested in the projection:

"This shitty admiral is obviously a coward. Don't delay our offensive plan because of them."

"All fleets, start attacking."

Fu Qinghai stood up and ordered in a deep voice.

He had already given Lansong a chance.

The light in the tail nozzles of all warships suddenly expanded and became bright and dazzling. The warships of the thirteen fleets were all running at full speed, rushing towards the battle moon along the pre-calculated sailing route, like an intertwined deadly net.

The battle moon is surrounded by the destroyed orbital defense facilities of the throne world. These large space debris have been captured by the gravity of the battle moon and are slowly floating and rotating around the battle moon, forming a circle of debris and debris.

"Start the gravity field scan."

Fu Qinghai issued the most important order.

The crew on the bridge carried it out in an orderly manner.

Facing the direction where the Space Marine warships were attacking, the Battle Moon slowly opened its jaws. The "jaw" was a huge armor plate, supported by countless giant gears, rolling down along four deep tracks, revealing a black hole hidden behind the armor plate, which was large enough to accommodate warships.

The Battle Moon seemed to be about to open its mouth and roar.

"Is the follower fleet coming?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and stared at the hole.

Wanted to see what was going to come out of his mouth.

He recalled the Battle Moon above the Endin Hive World, where a large number of Ork warships swarmed out of the huge hole.

However, it was beyond his expectations.

"The Battle Moon has a peak gravity fluctuation!"

The crew members warned loudly.

Do we have to use the gravity storm at such a long distance? Could it be that the range of the Battle Moon has increased again during this period?

Fu Qinghai's doubts just arose in his mind.

As if to respond to the crew's words, several giant meteorites suddenly emerged from the shadow of the black hole. These black meteorites, with a diameter of 700 to 800 meters, irregular shapes, and full of large and small holes, rotated and rolled, and shot at the warships of the White Scar and the Imperial Fist at a very fast speed.

So this is the trick?

Fu Qinghai's eyes widened slightly.

The speed of the meteorite is comparable to that of a cannonball. In the blink of an eye, it hit a frigate of the Black Templar that could not dodge in time. Such a fast speed naturally exceeded the judgment range of the void shield. However, facing a behemoth with a diameter of several hundred meters, the frigate's void shield was overloaded almost after just a flash. The meteorite hit the side of the frigate, and the meteorite instantly shattered and exploded. The hull also twisted and deformed violently, and was pushed by the meteorite to turn over. The leaked gas sprayed metal fragments and human body parts out of the hull, forming a flashing cloud.

"Disband the formation, maneuver to evade!"

Fu Qinghai made an immediate decision and ordered.

The fleet formation, which was neat and orderly like a woven net, suddenly became chaotic. Large and small meteorites penetrated the net directly, and the warships of each regiment began to maneuver and evade.

These meteorites did not have the guidance and tracking of space torpedoes, nor the internal explosives of macro cannon shells, but there were too many of them. It was like a meteor shower floating in the void. The only difference was that there was no flaming tail behind the meteorites.

The first wave of meteorite attacks ended.

A frigate was destroyed, two cruisers were seriously injured, and other warships around were also damaged to varying degrees.

"Tsk, what a cheap means of attack."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

Combined with the "peak gravity fluctuation" mentioned by the crew just now, Fu Qinghai instantly deduced that the battle moon created an artificial gravity well in the vector direction to make these meteorites gain huge acceleration, turning them into shells and crashing into the fleet. The principle is somewhat similar to the Empire's Nova Cannon, which is also accelerated by a gravity accelerator rather than a macro cannon.

Although these meteorites have neither guidance nor charge, they are very large in size and mass. The huge mass plus the super-fast speed is a huge kinetic energy. Kinetic energy itself is a weapon, enough to destroy a space battleship.

"Qingshan!"

Kurland's serious face appeared on the screen.

"Listen to my instructions."

Fu Qinghai made a calm gesture:

"The navigation route has been updated. We continue to detour along the edge of the range of the gravity weapon and bypass the hole. The battle moon rotates very slowly and it can't keep up with us."

The bridge of the battleship HMS Abomination.

"Follow his orders."

Bosimonde said in a deep voice.

Kurland looked at Bosimonde in surprise.

Since the two legions decided to fight together, Kurland was most worried about the Black Templar Marshal. He was worried that Bosimond would be so stubborn and disobey orders because of his large number of soldiers and ships. However, he did not expect that Bosimond, who was always unruly and irritable, would be so convinced by Qingshan Khan at this moment. He immediately executed the order without any doubt or discount.

The bridge of the battleship Suzheng.

"The gravity peak fluctuation of the battle moon has appeared again!"

The crew sitting in front of the screen shouted loudly.

Fu Qinghai knew that the second wave of meteorites was coming.

So he immediately issued a second order:

"All warships, reorganize the formation, remove the firepower restrictions of the bow guns and spine guns, and freely shoot to destroy the meteorites."

Yes, meteorites are very heavy and fast, but they are also very large. The large size is conducive to aiming. If you can't dodge in time, you can use the light spears on the spine and the macro guns on the bow to destroy the incoming meteorites in advance. Once these giant meteorites break apart, the lethality will be greatly reduced.

After a small wave of chaos, the killing net formed by the fleet cluster began to be sorted and woven again, and all the warships scattered around the big hole in the center of the moon. The second wave of meteorites erupted from the hole, but did not cause many casualties. The golden beams lit up in an interlaced manner, shattering the incoming meteorites, which broke into large and small pieces, either swallowed up by the void shield or hit the outer shell of the warship and continued to roll and shatter.

"A reverse gravity peak fluctuation has occurred!"

The crew continued to report the changes in the gravity curve.

"What new tricks are you going to play this time?"

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and stared at the battle moon.

I saw that the circle of space debris floating around the battle moon suddenly seemed to be pulled by something, and gathered together towards the black giant hole in the center of the moon. Just like the garbage floating on the water surface was attracted by a whirlpool, the debris of these orbital facilities was sucked into the giant hole.

All the obstacles that blocked it disappeared

The entire orbital space was clear.

Then the black giant hole erupted violently.

The space debris that had just been sucked in was ejected again, and the metal debris reflected the sunlight, like a cluster of dazzling flashes of debris, and the next second the debris turned into artillery shells. This huge black hole is like a planet-scale shotgun, with no accuracy, but a huge coverage area.

Fu Qinghai witnessed with his own eyes a cylindrical orbital space station several kilometers long tumbling past the porthole of the Rectification, and similarly there were various metal debris fragments, scratching out colorful streamers and stars on the shield.

It was a very creative attack, but unfortunately the battle moon itself rotated too slowly, and the battleship cluster had already dispersed in all directions, so this wave of attacks did not produce much effect.

"It should be quite useful for orbital bombing."

Fu Qinghai even had time to comment.

As expected of someone who had destroyed a battle moon...

Fu Qinghai's calm performance infected Kurland, and his nervous heart calmed down a little. This battle moon showed a different way of attack, which caused some problems and deviations in the attack plan originally formulated based on the battle moon above the Endin Hive World, but Qingshan Khan quickly corrected these deviations on the spot.

"The gravity field ahead is fluctuating violently!"

The crew in front of the screen suddenly shouted loudly.

The curve on the screen rose and fell like a cliff.

"All warships are ready to evade!"

Fu Qinghai reminded in a deep voice.

Meteorite spitting is just an appetizer.

The gravity storm is the real highlight.

In the craters and meteorite craters with a radius of thousands of kilometers on the surface of the moon, visible flashes and arcs are connected together, and the familiar and terrifying invisible force appears again, like a twisted whip lashing at the joint fleet.

Unfortunately, a battle barge of the Iron Knights was hit. The middle of the ship collapsed instantly, and the bow and stern broke into two sections and drifted away. Then a violent explosion occurred at the stern, causing a strike cruiser next to it to be engulfed by the ion fireball of the reactor explosion, and it lost control and crashed into another warship.

Fu Qinghai looked away from the screen.

No matter how carefully planned in advance.

This scene in front of him was always unavoidable.

The power of the gravity storm is too strong. Currently, no warship in the human empire can withstand this kind of damage. It can only use a large number of warships to spread out and launch a charge at the same time to share the damage to a certain extent and reduce losses as much as possible.

But there is no way to completely avoid losses.

At the same time as the gravity storm was set off, the cannons and lasers on the surface of the battle moon also opened fire, causing colorful ripples on the void shield light film of each battleship. The combined fleet continued to sprint forward despite the indiscriminate bombardment. It also launched a dense swarm of torpedoes, giving the battle moon a counterattack.

The lash of the gravity storm continues, and battleships are constantly being crushed or torn apart because they cannot dodge. However, compared to the last time they attacked the Battle Moon, the White Scars sub-group was obviously more skillful. They figured out the attack patterns and calmly evaded the fluctuations in the gravity field.

Casualties were significantly less than the final high wall fleet.

"Start gang dancing in five minutes."

Fu Qinghai ordered calmly.

At the same time, he leaned closer to the intercom:

"Master Adeptus, the ruling sage, we are about to land on the Battle Moon, and your Mechanical Ark is ready for deployment."

"Okay, Chapter Commander Qingshan."

A reply came from the communication channel.

The Mechanical Ark, which was larger and slower than the battle barge, began to move forward slowly. At the same time, firepower that was more ferocious and denser than the battle barge was pouring crazily towards the battle moon, and frigates and cruisers quickly followed to protect the surroundings.

After saying this, Fu Qinghai left the strategic platform, picked up his helmet and walked quickly down the bridge steps, shouting:

"All companies, follow me to join the gang!"

"Khan!"

Joestar grabbed him again.

The Moon Wolf warrior looked at his chapter leader steadily:

"What if another 'beast' comes?"

Fu Qinghai stopped when he heard this.

"I'll let the Adeptus Mechanicus go first."

Fu Qinghai looked at Qiao Shida and said.

Qiao Shida was relieved when he heard this.

"Okay, boss."

The first company commander stood at attention, beat his chest and saluted:

"Happy hunting."

…

Suzheng, teleportation deck.

The hull was still shaking violently, and the ground crew were busy running around. However, this time the Suzheng was not hit by the aftermath of the gravity storm, and the deck was not damaged or caught on fire.

Fu Qinghai stepped onto the teleportation block again.

Standing on each round platform around him was a heavily armed Iron Buddha Terminator. They were arranged neatly, like a group of silent and towering black gold iron towers.

The first batch of Space Marines boarding the Kraken Assault Claw drop pod have successfully landed on the surface of the Battle Moon. They are building a simple landing site on the moon, setting up teleportation beacons, clearing out the surrounding Orks, and opening up space for the Chapter's subsequent landing troops.

Like the battle moon above the Hive World of Endin, the battle moon above Terra also has an abstract and grotesque big orc face on its surface. The facial features of this big face are made up of artificial mountains as majestic as real mountains. . Yuskina's Peasant Crusaders were not without some effect. At least they proved that these artificial mountains were movable and controlled by the Orcs. While the Battle Moon winked and made various mocking expressions, it also The millions of Imperial civilians who landed on the moon were crushed to death.

After learning of this situation, these man-made mountains on the surface of the battle moon also received intensive attention from the Space Marines' shipboard firepower. Torpedoes, light spears and macro cannons were bombarded in turns. At the same time, the landing site also deliberately avoided the vicinity of the man-made mountains.

"Beacon connection is stable and ready to start transmitting."

A mechanical electronic sound sounded overhead:

"Countdown, five, four, three, two..."

"Yeah, what if there's another 'beast'?"

Fu Qinghai was also thinking about this issue in his mind.

The next second, the field of vision completely disappeared.

When that feeling of alienation and tearing dissipates.

Fu Qinghai's vision suddenly changed. He was standing under a giant overturned gear. When he looked up, he could see a fierce battle in the dark sky with beams of light piercing through and shells flying across. The surrounding areas were being torn apart by chain saw weapons and explosive weapons. The green-skinned corpse was disemboweled, with blood flowing from its intestines and organs all over the floor.

Several white lights flashed next to him.

More Iron Buddha Terminators are coming.

"Khan, this way!"

An Iron Buddha warrior emerged from the entrance of a dark tunnel that was blown underground and shouted.

Fu Qinghai drew out his Blue Fang and strode over, with the Iron Buddha Terminator following behind him with rumbles of footsteps.

"How's the progress now?"

Fu Qinghai asked as he walked.

"We have penetrated several kilometers underground and found and destroyed a large number of substations and power stations."

replied the Space Marine leading the way.

"Are the Gravity Storm weapons still operating?"

Fu Qinghai then asked again.

"No high-energy response detected. Techmarine speculates that the gravity weapons have been disabled, at least temporarily."

The Space Marine replied as he walked away.

"very good."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly when he heard this.

Every time we land on the battle moon, the first task is to paralyze the gravity weapons, otherwise the fleets in space are always facing the threat of gravity storms. Such a powerful weapon naturally consumes a lot of energy. The Space Marines only need to find the facilities that power the gravity weapons and destroy some of them, and the gravity weapons will not be able to continue to operate. After Phaeton Tech Priest analyzed the wreckage of the battle moon, the soldiers of the Iron Pagoda were more targeted in finding the corresponding facilities. They went straight to the target with ease and did not waste any time on other targets.

"How are the other regiments progressing?"

Fu Qinghai asked again.

"We should be the fastest."

The Space Marine thought for a while and said:

"The White Scars are barely catching up with us, and the Storm Prophet is a strong helper. Other White Scars are also heading underground, but their offensive is not as smooth as ours. Finally, the Space Marines of the High Wall have just landed on the moon and are still fighting fiercely with the greenskins in the area, and have not yet gained a firm foothold."

"Yeah."

Fu Qinghai said "Yeah" lightly.

This result is as it should be. Compared with other Space Marines of this era, the new and all-different Space Marines are all superior and crushed in terms of weapons and equipment and physical enhancement. It is not surprising to achieve such results.

After all battlefield information was checked.

Fu Qinghai issued his first order:

"Don't rush to go deep underground."

Fu Qinghai stopped and stood in place and ordered:

"Continue to expand the landing site and wait for our third batch of landing troops to arrive. I will notify the Sage Ruler to let the Martian troops land in the area under our control."

"Okay, Khan."

The Space Marines wrote down the order and hurried away.

Fu Qinghai led the first company to continue moving forward. The two sides of the passage were full of orc corpses lying in all directions. No fallen or injured Space Marines were seen. As his order was conveyed, the various companies on various fronts began to stop the attack and shrink in an orderly manner, consolidating the defense of the occupied areas and preparing to resist the orcs' counterattack.

"Khan!"

The Space Marine ran back after the arrangement.

He stood in front of Fu Qinghai and took off his helmet.

It was Lin Yu, Fu Qinghai's former aide-de-camp.

"What else?"

Fu Qinghai looked at the aide-de-camp and asked.

"If another 'beast' really appears."

Lin Yu stared at Fu Qinghai with burning eyes.

His face was flushed with excitement:

"Let me fight it too, okay?"

"You'll die."

Fu Qinghai glanced at him and said lightly:

"Me too."

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Then how do you plan to deal with that monster?"

"I said wait for the third landing force to arrive."

Fu Qinghai shook his head and walked forward past Lin Yu.

"Wait for Mars? The Knight Mech of the Mechanicus?"

Lin Yu hurriedly followed him and asked:

"But I feel that the Knight Mech is not its opponent."

"Use your brain, we also have Knight Mech."

Fu Qinghai curled his lips helplessly and stepped onto a wider ramp temporarily laid by the technical sergeant using the disassembled steel plates, and returned to the surface of the battle moon.

The naval battle in the dark void continued, but the density of artillery fire on the moon was obviously much smaller than before. There was a faint whistling sound in the sky. A team of Sword Tail-class interceptors broke through the thin atmosphere of the battle moon, soaring and diving in a row, followed by the Thunder Eagle gunboats and Flame Raptor gunboats escorting them.

The interceptor group dived and pulled up and continued to fly to other places, while the Thunder Gunboat and Flame Raptor gunboat slowly landed on the landing field that the technical sergeant had simply leveled.

"Swish--"

The front hatch of the gunboat opened and fell.

The figures of the passengers inside were revealed.

Not a space warrior, but a group of women.

A group of women wearing armor and holding big swords.

They looked at Fu Qinghai with firm and cold eyes.

"Silent Sister!"

Lin Yu blurted out with sudden realization.
