Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch
Chapter 229 36, Darlock's despair
No one would have thought that a "little thing" less than ten meters long would be able to destroy a giant ship or even an entire fleet.
The Darlock world has a powerful space fleet with the "Retribution" class battleship as its flagship.
The Retribution class battleship is also the top force to guard the empire in the huge system of the empire, especially in the turmoil of the Dark Ages, when humans lost a huge amount of scientific and technological knowledge in the past and almost all the Glory Queen class battleships were retired.
In the eyes of the Supreme King, this 13-kilometer Retribution class battleship is one of the important bases for him to attempt to split the empire's territory and dominate one side.
The maintenance of each battleship is an astronomical figure and involves the highest level of knowledge in the empire.
The Moon class ships, as the main force of the fleet, also have a hull of several kilometers, equipped with a void shield core and a light spear array.
In such a fleet, even a light cruiser with a hull of only about five kilometers is a behemoth that is shocking enough for mortals.
Compared with the giant ships and cannons, the tiny sparks that were suspended in the Darlock system, with a diameter of less than ten meters, seemed so insignificant.
If someone had said before that such a small thing could destroy an entire space fleet, everyone would have laughed at it as a madman.
But now, in the flash of the giant ship's explosion, the existence of the sparks has become so important that it cannot be ignored.
Some ships that tried to capture the Empire's sparks were also penetrated in just a few minutes. From the outside, the Empire's sparks only penetrated the interior of the giant ship for a moment, and then the huge warship stopped in the void, radiating light and heat like a supernova explosion.
This is a visual error caused by the reactor inside the ship being detonated by the sparks.
The captain immediately asked people to check the ship's system to avoid what they saw was just a false video spread by a new type of virus.
In space battles, it is normal for the enemy to use information viruses to attack.
Using some micro sensors to disrupt the fleet's signals, the opponent's command center receives wrong feedback, or simply completely paralyzes the opponent's observation system.
After several minutes of inspection, the captain heard the reply from the voice channel in despair - no abnormalities were found in their fleet system, and everything they saw was real.
This was undoubtedly the worst thing for the commander of the Darlock Fleet.
The commander hoped that everything that happened before his eyes was just a terrible nightmare. Maybe he would get out of the horrible dream in the next second, and his adjutant would tell him that his fleet had not suffered any losses, and these videos were just the opponent's tricks before the war.
But the facts would not change because of his will.
The Imperial Spark captured in the observation map took action again, as if ignoring the physical laws of the real universe, and the Spark entered the sub-light speed state in just a few seconds.
And the speed was still rising, almost approaching the limit of the speed of light.
At this speed, the Spark had almost unlimited kinetic energy, and no ship dared to collide with them actively, and they all avoided them at the fastest speed.
But the next second, the Imperial Spark suddenly disappeared completely from their observation system.
This was not because the Empire Spark exceeded the speed of light and thus escaped the search of the spectrum, but because the virtual realm jump instrument was activated.
The latest generation of technological products of the Empire are more or less equipped with virtual realm sensors, which can jump faster than the speed of light between the real universe and the Empire virtual realm.
The Darlock Fleet lost the movement of the Empire Spark, and they fell into collective panic in the attack that could come at any time.
Then, the ships that were locked in the attack heard a burst of rapid alarms, and saw the alarm of hull damage from the control console. The temperature inside the ship continued to rise, and the scorching fire wave swept in an instant.
And the source of all these disasters was only the tail of their giant ship, a very regular circular hole that melted through the hull.
The void shield of the giant ship exploded, and a circular penetration wound appeared on the armor, and molten metal liquid was still dripping from the edge.
The hole exuded a terrifying high temperature, and the energy released made this section of the hull in a red-hot state.
No one could understand what kind of weapon would cause such damage.
The metal material used to build the warship has great resistance to high temperatures, and the hardness of the armor is even more terrifying.
In the past wars, only deep space torpedoes with a mass of tens of millions of tons could break the void shield and cause damage to the armor on the surface of the ship.
On the attacked ship, the technicians who were closer had not yet reported the situation here when they heard a more urgent alarm.
Something else penetrated the energy shield and fell on the deck.
The light spear array system began to automatically search for the enemy, but they didn't hit anything.
The people on the Darlock ship couldn't help but panic.
At this moment, they were like facing an extremely terrifying and omnipresent ghost. They didn't know when the next attack would come, so they could only hold their breath and pray that they could be spared.
Fortunately, the merciful destruction did not make them wait too long, and they were soon relieved from the painful torment.
A spark of the empire smashed the hull of the ship and rushed from the control room.
They could feel the air heating up, and in just a few seconds, the heat became horrific.
Everyone in the control room, even the work clothes made of fire-resistant materials, began to spontaneously combust at this moment. With tragic screams, the crew members died one after another.
When the protective clothing completely failed in the flames, their bodies were instantly vaporized.
The Empire's Sparks are tiny in size and extremely flexible in space. Their extremely fast speed and ability to travel through virtual realms make it difficult for even the Empire's most advanced detection instruments to capture their trajectory.
The commander of the Darok fleet felt powerless from the bottom of his heart at this moment.
He could only watch in grief as the ships he once regarded as his life were destroyed one after another.
Maybe at the next moment, his destruction will stop instantly.
Facing his impending demise, he didn't have too much fear in his heart, only a deep sense of reluctance.
Until now, he has not figured out how the enemy defeated them.
Even the captain had no evidence to prove that it was the Imperial fleet that attacked them.
The Empire's ships are still docked outside the galaxy, without any sign of attack.
"What we are facing is not a mortal thing, it is an invisible devil, a burning resentful spirit, the nameless wrath of the gods!"
The commander of Darok went crazy. When his cognition was defeated again and again, he screamed crazily in the voice channel. He worshiped the red flame that destroyed him as a god and sang its praises over and over again.
But no one responded to him, and no one stopped him.
The huge fleet and the living lives all became remains floating in space in the fiery red trajectory.
The people of Darok stood on the surface and looked up at the stars. They could clearly see that in the deep space, their fleets were blooming into groups of silent fireworks.
This gorgeous fireworks lasted for a long time, and several hours passed before there were any signs of weakening.
During this period, there were countless wreckage of fallen warships, streaking through the atmosphere like bolide, leaving behind trails that intercepted the starry sky.
And those Imperial Sparks are currently suspended in the Darok Galaxy, blooming like supernovae, like dozens of small stars.
In this radiating flame, the entire Darok planet seemed to be ignited, shining brightly and becoming a sea of flames and light.
Looking at the dozens of suns suddenly appearing in the sky like a mythical scene.
The people of Darok fell into great panic, as if a god had made a final sentence to them, and they suffered greatly before being executed.
At this time, they were not the only ones with strange emotions.
Even the captains of the Imperial Navy, after seeing the effects of the new weapons, fell into a state of shock and numbness, almost doubting life.
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
The so-called space battle, shouldn't it mean shouting the name of the Emperor, firing cannons and light spears, charging at full speed, and ramming him hard with horns?
If this was a space battle, what were they doing before?
In this space age, the existence of every giant ship represents more than just transportation.
Every huge warship is a small city-state, where tens of millions of people are born, live here, give birth to offspring here, and finally die here.
This is the ship of the Empire and the home given to them by the God-Emperor.
The Imperial Navy was born in giant ships. They have spent their lives studying space strategy and tactics, and have witnessed various extreme battlefield situations.
But I saw an entire Retribution-class battle fleet, several light years away, completely destroyed in just a few hours.
In this process, the living saint who issued the order did not even make any major movements, and simply destroyed Darok's space armed forces in an understatement.
When this scene actually happened, it was still beyond their psychological endurance.
The Darok fleet became a space tomb, and the empire's work ships spent a lot of effort to carve out a path wide enough for the imperial fleet to pass through the dense space debris.
The captains commanded the battleships to sail through it. They looked at this space tomb with complicated emotions in their eyes.
In this emotion, there is joy at the arrival of victory, but also confusion at the scene in front of him.
The experienced captains have fought countless enemies in this starry life. The giant ship is their best partner, helping them to gallop across the star sea and expel those enemies who offend the majesty of the empire.
They have faced space fortresses as huge as hive cities, and battle planets as huge as the moon.
They had even heard of aliens that could transform the entire planet into war machines.
In the history of the Imperial Navy, every line is written with glory, loyalty and blood.
They have experienced war all their lives, trying to find a way to be invincible, but they never thought that war in space would be so easy.
Efficient and ruthless, carrying the red fire of destruction.
With the destruction of Darok's fleet, the people of this rebellious world collectively burst into despair.
The invincible fleet they relied on was easily destroyed at this moment.
High King Caligues looked at the light spots disappearing one after another on the space star map, and his whole person fell into silence.
In the communication channel inside Darlock, there was an alarm that the starport was attacked, and soon a violent explosion sounded, and the chaotic alarm sound disappeared.
The voice returned to silence, and no sound was heard.
The starport was breached, and then the artificial satellite of this world.
The fleet was destroyed, and the command center on the ground of Darlock inevitably lost control of the outer orbit.
The people of Darlock saw that the huge ramming horn with the double-headed sky eagle paint was slowly approaching the atmosphere of Darlock, and the chaos and collapse caused by it were still surging.
At this moment, even those nobles and knight families who had interests tied to the Supreme King were in a panic.
The fleet they had high hopes for was declared destroyed in just a few dozen minutes without a direct confrontation with the empire.
What a terrible truth.
The empire used its own strength to bring down its anger on the entire Darlock world.
The empire was always brutal to the world that dared to rebel.
Everyone was panicking about the fate that would follow.
The Supreme King paced around the room in a rage, his expression was extremely ugly.
Originally, it was thought that the Great Rift incident and the melee with Vigilance would cause the Empire to completely lose control of the area near the Eye of Terror.
In the past few decades, their contact with the Empire was almost completely cut off. Even in the occasional astropathic communication, it was the wailing of countless worlds.
Under such circumstances, a melee of various races in the galaxy broke out on Vigilance again. Even if the Empire won, it would be a miserable victory.
Under such circumstances, it was reasonable for the disloyal Supreme King Caligus to declare independence.
He estimated the risks of the Empire's crusade against them, but in his opinion, the Empire could not send too many troops.
The good news is that the Empire did not send too many troops.
The bad news is that before the opponent's fleet entered the galaxy, dozens of sparks had already scrapped all the space units in the Darlock world.
Whether it was warships, spacecraft, satellites, or space weapon platforms, they were all destroyed in a very short time. The Darlock world completely became a toothless tiger, allowing the imperial fleet to slaughter it.
The huge fleet that appeared in space made all the people fall into suppressed fear.
But the Supreme King still did not give up. He began to order the Knights to send out elite troops to defend various fortresses.
The Empire's fleet approached the outer orbit, but did not drop cyclone torpedoes and other extinction-level weapons to destroy the surface, which gave the Supreme King hope again.
Recalling the young woman named Efilar.
"Woman's kindness." The Supreme King seemed to understand why the other party did this, and sneered with disdain.
Perhaps Efilar's appearance was too deceptive, which led to the Supreme King's wrong judgment of the saint.
As early as Ophelia VII, Efilar suppressed the voices of betrayal in many worlds. Her tough tactics formed a sharp contrast with her appearance.
She did not exterminate the surface, so she would not suddenly show mercy.
Dukel assigned her a task, requiring her to test the latest military equipment.
Sparks were just an appetizer, when dense airdrop chambers fell like a meteor shower.
From the dust of the earth, the assault company of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of Catachan came out of the hatch one after another.
They were mortals who had not undergone surgery, but their steps shook the earth. When they took neat steps, the whole world seemed to tremble.
Each soldier of the 22nd Infantry Regiment of Catachan drove a single-person combat mecha over three meters long.
This combat mecha was developed from the Godnet system of the Mechanicus and combined with the virtual technology system.
The small internal reactor connected the nerves of the soldiers, which made them almost integrated with the mecha, with powerful firepower and protection capabilities.
Although the weak body of mortals somewhat hindered the performance of this mecha, resulting in their actual combat effectiveness being weaker than that of the Primaris Space Marines, it was far better than the previous bulletproof vests.
The most important thing is that this type of mecha is cheap. In the airdrop chamber, nearly 10,000 Catachan mecha warriors soon came out.
Accompanied by the chanting of the mechanical priest, the hydraulic pipe slowly transmits the liquid, and his steel boots step on this betrayed land.
The built-in system automatically helps them retrieve the enemies around them, and Efilar's voice also sounds in their voice channel,
"Kill all those who stand in your way, whether they are nobles or civilians. Your mission is to conquer this planet as quickly as possible, soldiers."
The cold voice of Saint Efilar reached the ears of every soldier.
