Chapter 87 81. Battle of Chloe (1)

Yong Lan stood on the bridge of the Adventurer-class cruiser, looking anxiously at the scene outside. Although the Explorer-class heavy cruiser used its powerful bow weapons to successfully paralyze a Pluto-class heavy cruiser of the expedition fleet at the beginning of the battle, it did not take long before it was successfully entangled by the opponent's frigate formation.

Under the cover of the main fleet, the formation of Gladius-class frigates, which had no less shield than the main cruiser, passed through the defense line composed of other battleships, and then withstood the self-defense artillery bombardment of the heavy cruiser. After losing three frigates, the remaining four finally reached a position where they could launch torpedoes.

12 torpedoes ejected from the launch port. The panicked self-defense artillery management team leader immediately ordered rapid-fire artillery and missiles to intercept, but in the end, five torpedoes still hit the port side of the warship.

Terrible flames spread across the battleship. The first four rounds immediately overloaded the battleship's shield and collapsed, and the last one exploded directly on the lower left side of the hull, paralyzing an artillery piece. However, due to its unique honeycomb structure and the hardness of the strong materials, this small injury to the pillow cruiser is like a giant being bitten by a mosquito.

However, the almost suicidal behavior of these four frigates is not just a useless effort like ants biting an elephant, because with the successful intrusion of the frigate formation, the enemy's battleship formation has now become chaotic. . The originally neatly arranged formation of wild geese has begun to disintegrate due to chaos, and this tactic originally used to completely deliver firepower to the bow has begun to fail.

The human expeditionary force began to use its powerful side firepower to occupy the T prefix, and began to use fire suppression to output.

Other battleships in the battleship formation are not as strong as the Adventurer-class heavy cruiser. Most of the auxiliary battleships have undergone some modifications and continue to serve in the past 20 years. They are still somewhat inadequate in the face of enemy fire attacks.

On the enemy's warships, a large number of beams and cannonballs immediately hit their fragile warships. They are still much more fragile than the main battleships like the Golden Fleet. After all, the auxiliary fleet, as its name suggests, is to assist the main fleet. The original battle plan did not consider that humans would react so quickly, or that there would be such a large force. Perseverance gave up supporting their main world.

But this also shows that things in the heavenly world are very important.

The auxiliary fleet was finally defeated. In this battle, they lost five main battleships, and the left side of the flagship Explorer was also seriously injured. In the end, if the space dwarf fleet did not come for emergency support, it would not even be able to leave the battlefield.

"I'm very sorry, old friend. I underestimated mankind. Their determination this time is very strong. We must evacuate to the nearby universe. It is estimated that it will be difficult to help us in the battle on the ground."

Yong Lan regretfully reported the above situation to Yuan Yuan on the communication channel, because in his eyes, human beings' fighting strength was not very strong, and the ability to rule the entire galaxy was only based on the glory of the past. But during the battle, the courage, perseverance and wisdom displayed by humans have made him understand that this will be a difficult opponent in the future.

Yuan Yuan sighed softly after hearing his words, but had no intention of blaming him. Because he had fought with humans before, he understood how terrifying the opponent was, and letting a general who was not very familiar with naval battles take command was indeed a dereliction of duty on his part. Not everyone is like him, capable of triathlon on land, sea and air.

"Don't worry, old friend, the fire ejected from the mantle will not be extinguished by the heavy rain falling from the sky. We will continue to resist here until the reinforcements of the expeditionary force arrive. You must notify the expeditionary force headquarters immediately now , saying that we have been attacked by the main force of the Human Empire’s expeditionary force, and we need their support immediately!”

"Understood, may the greater good protect you."

"Same, old friend."

After the communication ended, Yuan Yuan looked at the falling meteors in the sky, just like the battlefield in Daris more than 20 years ago. It's just that this time, Vision did not have better preparations and excellent soldiers as before. Now he only had less than tens of thousands of infantry and dwarf allies under his command.

The dwarf officer walked to the red giant and said worriedly

"Your Excellency, Commander, our troops are seriously insufficient now. Do we need to spread out and enter the jungle to conduct guerrilla operations?"

After hearing this, Yuan Yuan shook his head and rejected his proposal.

"No, if we do this, people will not hesitate to turn the entire planet into a sea of ​​fire. They will not care about the gains and losses of this planet at all. All they want is the sword in my hand."

After saying that, he also weighed the sword in his hand. The space dwarf next to him said with a sad face.

"What's so good about this sword..."

But now there is no time for them to think about why this sword attracts so much attention from humans. They just need to know that they must escape now.

"So Commander Farsight, where are we moving to?"

After the software heard it, it swiped twice on its left arm, and a holographic map appeared. He pointed to the underground distribution area of ​​the planet on the map and said

"The Cult of Mechanicus has carried out a lot of earthwork work below in order to explore the ancient holy ruins of this planet. Many of the depths have exceeded more than 20 kilometers. We can use these places for strategic transfer and attack. In such a narrow terrain , just suitable for our battle uniform troops to carry out guerrilla operations with you dwarves."

"Like a cunning gopher stealing potatoes from the ground!"

"almost."

Vision nodded, praising his imagination. Then, he strode forward and began to give instructions

"All personnel immediately enter the remaining underground bunker facilities of the Mechanicum! We will establish branches in three areas: H12, A3, and Z6 for command! Everyone must be determined to win, and we will eventually win! "

Just when the coalition forces were preparing to switch to defensive operations, the Raven Guard had successfully arrived at the place they were supposed to guard.

The technical sergeant came to the basement and said frustratedly

"We arrived too late, the aliens have already taken away everything here."

Captain Ke Wen stood next to him, was silent for a while, and said

"Are there any traces?"

"You can ask the Forbidden Scholar and Chapter Leader about this. After all, that artifact should have a psychic signal. If you follow it, you should be able to find it."

"OK."

Soon the maester arrived. Because their primarch has always supported the Nicaean Accords and opposed the establishment of a think tank force. So even though they reorganized a similar force after the Horus Heresy, they called their brothers the Forbidden Maesters due to previous reasons.

Soon, with the help of several maesters, they found traces of psychic energy. Ke Wen put on his mask again and said calmly

"The hunt begins, warriors"
