The Swordfish frigate's nimble and tricky movement like a swimming fish gave the Space Marines in the boarding torpedoes a familiar feeling. They had also seen such maneuverability in the past battles with the Eldar.

No, the speed and flexibility of the Eldar Spirit Bone Battleship is slightly better than that of the Swordfish Frigate. It may be that the heavy zero-element armor installed on the latter's hull is holding it back.

Even so, the powerful power from the dark matter thrusters and afterburners was enough for the truth monks driving the frigates to get rid of most of the torpedoes by forcibly moving - the small part of the attacks that could not be avoided were also blocked. Dissolved by void shield.

It's a pity that all this has nothing to do with the Space Marines in the boarding torpedoes. After seeing the afterimage of the swordfish flying past, they were hit by the torpedoes launched by Eumenides.

"Boarding module No. 61 was destroyed, and Captain Sepenik's Firewing team lost contact with them all!"

"Landing pod No. 44 was destroyed, and Captain Belheim's Hurricane Wing team lost contact!"

"Landing pod No. 45 was destroyed..."

Bad news kept coming back to the Eumenides, reporting heavy losses that would make any Imperial general feel heartbroken.

The boarding torpedoes carried by the precious veterans of the Death Stalkers were hit one after another by the weapons of their own flagship under the play of the preacher, and exploded one after another into a long series of torpedoes with quite gorgeous visual effects in the open space. fireworks.

These brave warriors failed to achieve any combat objectives, failed to kill an enemy, and even failed to touch the smoke tail at the end of the Order of Truth fleet, so they died miserably in space.

"This group of heretics... they have indeed reached some kind of cooperation with the Eldar. It is precisely because of the use of blasphemous Eldar technology that their ships have such incredible agility!" On board the Eumenides The officers gradually understood everything.

The naval officer loyal to the Lord of Mankind originally had a slight hesitation about Captain Gonzalez's decision to attack all friendly forces indiscriminately, but now, he no longer has the slightest doubt.

The Order of Truth is no longer an ordinary heresy, and must be exterminated.

The officer urged the technical servants to complete the launch procedures of the "Annihilator" vortex bomb as soon as possible, then turned around and launched a new attack on the Swordfish frigate formation.

After the previous round of confrontation, this general with extremely high tactical literacy has figured out some characteristics of the enemy:

It is true that the Swordfish frigates have a high technological level that far exceeds that of the Deathstalker flagship. They are overwhelming in terms of speed, maneuverability and even weapon sophistication, but in the final analysis, they are just frigates, the smallest among the stars. Battleship.

There is usually no room for frigates on regular battlefields. Their advantage lies in using the flexibility and agility brought by their smaller size to patrol some major trade routes, put out fires, and clean up pirates with malicious intentions.

If facing those large battleships among the stars that use ridged bows and super-large-caliber main guns as their main means of output, the Swordfish frigate can also use its dexterity to bully the heavy main guns that charge slowly and fire slowly, but here Not the stars.

The human empire's ships are extremely misshapen in design, generally using a keel structure connected to adamantine rams instead of a ridged bow capable of mounting oversized main guns.

Adhering to the basic principle of "big is beautiful, more is better", the hulls on both sides of the imperial warship are always densely packed with all the weapons it can carry. The intensive ship-based firepower designed for close combat can not only defend against enemy ships jumping into gangs, but also can unleash massive attacks sideways and uninterruptedly.

The flexible body cannot make up for the gap in specifications, and the sophisticated weapons cannot withstand hundreds of void shields installed on a ship. Once they try to get close, what the preachers will face is the excessive and frenzied attacks of the human empire.

If the Eumenides, which has given up the ultra-long-range strike capability of its main gun, faces a battleship of the same specification equipped with a shaped arc generator, it will undoubtedly be spotted beyond visual range by an enemy with a ridged bow. Kill without any chance of fighting back.

But faced with a frigate with fast legs and short hands, it was able to restrain the opponent.

The missionaries are also well aware of this, so the tactics they adopt are mainly based on long-distance guerrilla harassment. They dance on the tip of a knife in short and dangerous confrontations, looking for opportunities to send out the reorganized troops. Banshee launches gang-hopping attack:

——They could see that due to the two waves of gang-hopping attacks previously launched, the interior of the Eumenides was empty, and it was likely that there were not enough Space Marines to garrison it. As long as they can successfully send the Banshee team into the battleship, they can directly seize control of the battleship.

The idea was good, but how could Captain Gonzalez himself, who made the battle plan, not know the flaws that the Truth monks could see.

The reason why he dared to take such risky actions was because he had absolute confidence in himself and his battle brothers.

Less than three hours after the war began, the 3rd company commander proved that his confidence was not arrogance.

"Stop all attacks on the foundry ship of the Burning Soul! The Firewing team led by Captain Gonzalez has successfully seized control of the ship!"

After hearing the news, the tense nerves of the officers on the Eumenides finally relaxed a little.

They succeeded, and they succeeded in beheading the commander of the Adeptus Mechanicus' foundry ship before the Adeptus Veritas seized on the flaw and jumped into gangs to behead them.

Once the balance of power tilts, it will collapse faster and faster. The moment the "Burning Soul" falls into the hands of the Death Stalker, victory is already established.

Next, as long as they continue to expand their advantage steadily and take possession of all the remaining foundry fleets of the Adeptus Mechanicus, they will be able to crush the Adeptus Veritas fleet through their absolute firepower and size advantages. After paying an acceptable huge casualty, The entire space battlefield will be completely cleared.

As for the ground personnel who survived the first round of orbital bombing through unknown means, they will also be swallowed up by the subspace rift torn open by the "Annihilator" type vortex bomb that is about to be launched.

Gonzalez's plan is quite complete. If the plan is implemented smoothly, the war situation will inevitably tilt in the direction he expected, adding another dazzling feat to his illustrious military career.

But no matter how perfect the plan is, no matter how high the fault tolerance rate is, it can only plan based on the information it has, and cannot prevent forces outside the field of vision from intruding into the battle situation.

Such as now.

At the edge of the pyramid group, a Swordfish frigate hovering over the carbonized crystalline planet, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Eumenides, suddenly detected a strange signal.

"Report, we detected a strange psychic signal at the edge of the galaxy, but the wavelength band of this signal was marked as 'trusted' by the system. It was a small group of Zerg biological warships..."

A female truth monk looked at the realistic information on the psychic detector and frowned slightly: "Strange, I have seen the swarm fleet of Koroniai enslaved by the leader before, but I have never seen this form of biological warship. Pass……"
