Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 226 A phoenix comes from the west

The heavy cruiser Silesian Wind was clustered in the middle of the Klenna fleet.

The Imperial Navy's combat tradition is to divide a fleet into three parts: forward, middle and rear. Small and light frigates or light cruisers serve as the assault forward, and auxiliary and logistics ships are at the rear of the team, surrounded by the main ships and fleet flagships located in the middle of the formation.

Under normal circumstances, these core ships are the real main force of a naval fleet. Even in the most special circumstances, a captain who wants to serve as a main ship must at least reach the rank of lieutenant general, and even more so as a fleet commander. It is necessary to bear the golden badge of admiral.

The Klenna fleet parked above Space Base No. 1 was deployed strictly in accordance with this formation. The heavily equipped flagship "Silesian Wind" where the fleet commander, Admiral Genevia Liemstra was located, was In the center of the fleet.

But the formation of the cutting-edge fleet leading the tide of chaos is not like this. Their flagship "Emperor's Pride" is located at the forefront of the fleet, like a proud phoenix leading the birds behind it, fluttering its wings across the starry sky.

Carrying a silver-gray long knife with one hand, Russell walked along the corridor past the macro-cannon operation warehouse and saw the calves of several operators twitching slightly.

"The psychological quality is good. In this situation, I didn't break down and burst into tears." Russell nodded approvingly, then thought: "It may also be that the mobilization before the war was more powerful..."

Outside the porthole, the ominous fleet bearing the blessing of Chaos has already rushed over.

Imperial battleships that have received the blessing of Chaos are still Imperial battleships. Even the Primarch's flagship, the Queen of Glory, cannot enforce law across the galaxy like the heavy artillery ship equipped with the ridge bow. Therefore, a naval battle often begins in the near future. body.

Accompanied by the roar of the engines, the Klenna fleet headed towards the Chaos Spearhead. But Admiral Genievia did not order the Engine Prophet to overclock the plasma core to gain the ultimate speed and rush towards it like she did in other previous battles.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great. This is not a conventional naval battle. Only by relying on the favorable location and the firepower of the asteroid military base in the gravel belt can the Klenna fleet have any chance of dealing with the enemy.

Facts have proved that Genevieve's judgment was correct...well, there is no need to prove such an obvious thing.

The loud noise of the macro cannon could not be heard in the vacuum, and the sailors in the cabin could not feel the violent vibrations of the void shield when it was attacked. The two fleets thus began a silent first wave of confrontation, or a unilateral crushing.

The blazing plasma and laser array weaved a bright fire net over Space Base No. 1, but it was easily torn apart by the overwhelming power of the Queen of Glory.

The high-spinning plasma ejected from the Nova Cannon, together with the countless macrocannon shells and light spears, hit the Emperor's Pride's void shield like a meteor shower, and like a handful of stones thrown onto a calm lake, the waves swayed. Large ripples of chaos.

However, the spilled stones have sunk to the bottom, but the lake surface has not broken.

Facing the powerful void shield of the Glory Queen-class battleship, the firepower of the Klenna fleet was too poor and could not even break through the defense.

Faced with this situation, one of the options for the Space Marine Chapter is to send out gang members to board boarding torpedoes to bypass the void shield and directly attack the hull of the enemy ship, but Genevia cannot do this at this moment.

Even for the most elite Astartes, joining a Chaos warship is a desperate assault, not to mention that the only mortal armed forces at his disposal are the Imperial Guard.

In the command room of the Silesian Wind, Genevia gritted her teeth and watched as the Klenna fleet's formation was overwhelmed by the Emperor's Pride. One after another, the temporarily recruited armed merchant ships were easily sunk because they did not have void shields. Can fire a shot. Even serious naval warships equipped with void shields were unable to withstand the saturation blow from the Chaos Edge, and the number of Klenna's fleet was rapidly reduced at a desperate rate.

After just a brief battle, the number of available ships in the Klenna fleet was reduced to less than 50.

Immediately afterwards, the main ships that had not sunk in the first round of confrontation were boarded by the Chaos war gang.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to fight the space jump gang.

The first is to use boarding torpedoes to penetrate the hull of the enemy ship and deliver soldiers in through the breach. The offensive and defensive sides immediately start space street battles in the cabins and corridors of the star battleship, fighting a way to the command center or engine room and other important points. Regional blood routes.

The second is to physically get close to the enemy ship and transport the soldiers directly into the enemy ship through the teleportation device - this operation is usually performed by Space Marine veterans wearing Terminator armor.

This is not only because the Terminator armor has a built-in teleportation function, but also because the teleportation method is not very stable. If an operation fails, it may get stuck in the wall. If you are unlucky, it will directly pass through the mold and enter the reactor, landing in a box.

Because there is no stable supply of armaments from the Forge World, the economic situation of Chaos warbands is generally not very good. One set of expensive Terminator armor is less than one set, so there are many gang-hopping attacks on the main ships of the Klenna fleet. It is entered through armor piercing through conventional means.

Below the fighting fleet, the No. 1 Asteroid Space Base continued to spit out missile firepower at the twisted Chaos warships. Klentarina's gravel belt has been carefully managed by the Adeptus Mechanicus for many years. The firepower provided by this asteroid base alone far exceeds that of the entire Klentarina fleet. Among the seven Chaos warships sunk since the war began, Four of them are the result of the battle at Space Base No. 1.

Every Chaos warband is fully aware of the threat and importance of this huge war facility. Therefore, after the formation of Klenna's fleet was broken up by the Emperor's Pride, only the flagship "Silesian Wind" ", together with the crucial No. 1 asteroid base, received special treatment by being teleported by the Terminator Guards. Fierce fighting broke out both inside the cabin and on the surface of the asteroid.

Russell closed his eyes and used his own spirit to feel the vibrations of the ship's hull and the shouts of tens of thousands of mortal soldiers on the asteroid rushing to kill without fear of death.

Being on the battlefield, Russell truly realized what kind of general Admiral Genevia Liemstra was.

The battle between the Silesian Wind and Asteroid Base No. 1 cannot even be called a battle, but a one-sided massacre.

Wearing Terminator armor and blessed by Chaos, the fallen Space Marines slaughtered the waves of mortal soldiers who surged towards them with overwhelming strength. Followers of the Blood God piled severed heads into a mountain of skulls; warriors who believed in the Prince of Joy used mortal pain to seek the strongest spiritual experience and sensory stimulation; Nurgle's corrupting poisonous mist spread in the cabin...

The soldiers who witnessed the inhumane cruelty showed massive cowardice, but few retreated.

Because as early as the defense stage before the war, Geneveria deliberately deployed the mortal regiments recruited from Krentalina on the No. 1 asteroid base and the Silesian Wind. These two were of the most important significance.

Among the spiritual factors that drove the soldiers to fight desperately were the fear of the Empire, loyalty to the Emperor, and fanaticism for faith...but the most important thing was Krentalina behind them.

The natives of Klentalina had more reason and motivation than any other soldiers to defend their homeland. They knew exactly what they were fighting for and what they were dying for.

The slogan they shouted as they charged was not "For the Emperor!" but "For our home!!"

Making good use of people's hearts is a quality that a good general should have.

Russell held up the Huntress Blade and nodded slightly, preparing to activate the teleportation spell to go to the meat grinding battlefield in the power cabin.

But suddenly, his expression changed slightly. Russell squinted his eyes and raised his head like a cat that had found an interesting toy. His deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the steel hull and land directly on the bridge.

"Fulgrim? When did you come?"
