Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Boom~—Boom! ! ! !

After the "Star Gate" has amplified its power and reached a diameter of 400 kilometers, the focused energy beam can be said to sweep across everything, destroying all the Necron warships along the way.

Even if those protective stances that emit green light are deployed, they will face the concentrated beam that explodes like a supernova. There is a huge disparity between the two sides. The result will naturally be that the stance is shattered and the ship body is directly "evaporated" and dissipated.

Moreover, the power of the concentrated beam did not decrease, and it hit an isolated island at least one astronomical unit away.

Phew~—boom! ! ! ! !

A brilliant light burst out, lighting up the entire five-dimensional space.

Swish~——! !

More than that, like a concentrated beam bursting from a supernova, after the Leonidas completed the instant firing of its main gun, the hundreds of battleships of the 1st Battalion made a jump and turned into "thin white lines", directly Flashing on the edge of the island behind the battle line.

? !

The undead side was obviously confused by this sudden shot and the "jump back" of the 1st Battalion.

Swish~——shua~——! !

It was in this brief chaotic gap that the Leonidas and the main force of the Spartan fleet also launched a leap forward and rushed directly into the Necromancer fleet.

! !

At this time, the undead side had to start a close fight with Sparta.

If you want to continue to maintain the numerical advantage of salvos of artillery fire, the Necrons' ships must break away from the battle, or continue to fire high-power main gun salvos at the Spartan ships at close range, but the consequences of this are, That is, they will accidentally injure or bomb their friendly units.

Although the undead are not afraid of death, nobles, lords and overlords at all levels will care about factors such as the resource consumption of their respective ministries.

What's more, with the maneuverability of human ships and their rapid penetration among their fleets, if they continue to fire salvos, their losses will be much higher than that of Sparta, and they may even be killed by Sparta. The main thing is that their world engines are therefore unable to directly provide powerful firepower output.

This seemed to make Fahr extremely angry, but he had no choice but to be dragged into the rhythm of war brought by Sparta.

Immediately afterwards, the captains and battalion commanders on the Spartan side began to use the maneuverability of their own ships, regardless of whether the engines would be overloaded, and continued to fire electromagnetic guns at the Necron ships in the direction of the ship's bow.

Ri~……

call out! ! ! ! !

Countless vibranium and tungsten steel projectiles, traveling at 60% or 70% of the speed of light, traced a bright blue trajectory in the dark space, penetrating all the undead ships blocking the way.

Bang-bang-bang!

Penetrating a Necron ship is not enough to stop the projectiles, but "series" among the Necron ships. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand ships are killed, silenced or have their engines stopped as a result.

Moreover, when destroying the undead ship in front of them, the vast majority of human ships will also deliberately adjust the angle of the ship's hull and invariably aim the ship's bow at the huge target, which requires little careful calibration of the world engine.

Boom-boom-boom! !

In an instant, the protective stance released by the world engine was violently bombarded.

Although the bombardment was successfully blocked, the moment the projectile hit the stand, it immediately exploded on the green stand with "lotus"-shaped ripples that sprayed outward and left and right, even causing a 10,000-kilometer-diameter missile to explode. The World Engine shifted, causing its metal casing to tremble violently.

Electromagnetic gun…

Humans had developed this thing two hundred years ago and stuffed it into three Goshawk-class frigates to participate in the Predator Interdiction Battle that broke out in the Mars space.

In fact, mankind's theory of shipbuilding a hundred years ago and even today is to put an α-grade titanium alloy shell around the electromagnetic gun, then insert the engine into the electromagnetic gun and connect it to the electromagnetic gun. After confirming the airtightness, it becomes a warship.

Moreover, electromagnetic guns of different calibers and lengths determine the different specifications and levels of warships. For example, the Kingfisher-class cruiser is about 1,100 meters long, and the electromagnetic main gun is 700 meters long.

After all, if you want to make the projectiles fired by the electromagnetic gun more lethal, you need a longer barrel for magnetic acceleration.

After more than two hundred years of changes, the electromagnetic technology of the Human Empire has definitely reached the ceiling in the physical universe. Even a Paris-class frigate can accelerate 5-ton projectiles to the speed of light if it is fully powered. About 60%.

As for being infinitely close to the speed of light, or equal to the speed of light...

Imperial engineers will not take the risk to do that, because the projectiles, gun barrels, and ship hull materials all need to be fully upgraded, otherwise the moment a projectile escapes from the barrel at 99.9999% of the speed of light, it will Destroy the battleship itself, let alone use it to attack the opponent.

Therefore, even if the protective stance generated by the World Engine was bombarded by the electromagnetic main guns of 3,000 human warships, it would still be consumed a lot.

At this time, the matrix terminal released by the Leonidas was also undergoing transformation.

Giant metal pillars surround the Leonidas, forming several "◇" diamond shapes, which are then wirelessly powered by the artificial sun in the inner earth world. Then, these diamond shapes are connected in series with each other...

Ri...

Whoosh~——Whoosh~——! ! ! !

The matrix releases numerous high-energy rays that emit cyan-blue light, continuously bombarding and cutting all the Necron battleships, Necron carrier-based aircraft and the Leonidas' real target, the World Engine, in front of them.

In order to resist high-energy rays, the World Engine also continued to generate protective positions and launched artillery counterattacks against the Leonidas.

boom! boom! boom!

At that time, the entire five-dimensional space began to stage an increasingly fierce naval battle, filled with dazzling explosions, ballistics, and barrages. The most concentrated area was undoubtedly between the Leonidas and the World Engine.

Gorgeous, yes, but deadly.

Not only ships versus ships, but also human and undead ships released swarms of carrier-based aircraft.

These units, which are only "one point" in the war, travel between warships at extremely fast speeds. While fighting each other, they also cover attack aircraft and bombers, and try to sneak attack the weak areas of enemy ships. Assist your own side in weakening the enemy fleet.

But when the Human Empire conducts naval battles, it will not be cannon against cannon or carrier-based aircraft against carrier-based aircraft.

Just as the war was getting intense and it was impossible to tell where the electromagnetic gun came from or where it was bombarded by Gauss rays, the Spartan Legion's warships of all levels released a large number of "carrier-based aircraft" formations.

However, these "carrier-based aircraft" are much thicker and heavier than speed and firepower-oriented fighters, and they also have a single or parallel melta cannon on the top of the fuselage.

Some carrier-based aircraft even have the hatch at the nose, and the wings and cockpit at the tail of the aircraft, giving the overall shape an "open" shape.

In fact, these carrier-based aircraft were assault boats carrying Spartans and Auxiliaries.

A formation of three assault boats was seen. After sailing out of a Steadfast-class frigate, they immediately rushed towards a Necronomicon Pyramid diagonally ahead.

During the voyage, a formation of Necron carrier-based aircraft came to intercept it, but...

Ri~Buzzing Weng-——! ! ! !

But the dense and silent barrage struck, immediately destroying all the Necromancer carrier-based aircraft that tried to block it.

After all, the assault boat had just left the hangar and had not yet left the range of the Steadfast-class close-range anti-gun array.

Therefore, those Necromancer carrier-based aircraft are simply asking for trouble. Even if they have a stand-alone protection stance, they can face six-barrel 120mm caliber close-in defense guns that can fire 17,000 rounds of armor-piercing spikes per minute. The result is that they will only be shot. into a honeycomb.

Of course, the Imperial Navy can also adjust the rate of fire of close-in anti-cannons to 60,000 or even 70,000 rounds per minute, but the faster and more shots are not the better.

With 17,000 armor-piercing spikes per minute, combined with the close-range defense artillery array, complete coverage can be achieved, so there is no need to waste too much durability and shells.

However, the Imperial Navy's main factor in reducing the rate of fire of close-in defense guns did take into account the ground crew and logistics personnel. Many complaints and reports were made to the crew members who only needed to control and launch.

Even though there are machines like Sentinels to assist with ground support and logistics, the Human Empire obviously does not want everything to be "mechanized" or "automated."

Return to the present moment.

After the three assault boats were far away from the Steadfast class, they encountered Necrotic obstruction again. However, they were either directly resisted by the airborne shields, or friendly fighter squadrons assisted in solving the threat.

Midway, they also merged with assault boats sailing out from other ships to form a medium-sized formation.

When they were about to approach the flying pyramid, all the assault boats began to increase their speed and also stored heat.

He was about to collide with the protective stance emitting green light.

call out! ! !

A salvo of melta beams.

Buzz! ! !

The melt and the stance had a fierce confrontation, and even caused a lightning-like aftermath. However, at the same time, it was attacked by a concentrated breaking point, and the protective stance was still successfully torn open.

Taking this opportunity, the assault boat formation successfully passed the protective position.

Although this mixed formation lost several assault boats during the voyage, the crew and passengers in the cabin were all sacrificed and dissipated along with the assault boats.

But after the mixed formation penetrated the protective position through the melt rays, and used the momentum to successfully penetrate the metal outer wall of the pyramid, allowing the formation to rush straight into its interior, all the sacrifices made and sacrifices were worth it.

because…

"嘡嘡嘡!!!" The explosive arrows exploded.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!!!" Laser volley fired.

Because as soon as the formation broke into the interior of the pyramid, the hatch was opened and the passengers were released.

The interior of the Pyramid of the Undead is almost the same as the internal structure of the tombs on the surface. Dark green light is the main color, and there are many spacious tombs used to execute the resurrection protocols of the Undead units.

The mixed formation happened to rush into such a tomb.

Before the assault boat came to a stop, the Spartans and auxiliary troops, whose power armor was mainly painted in black with dark green and brown gold as embellishments, rushed out of the engine room and entered the battle.

"Brothers! Come with me!!"

"Die! Metal Alien!!"

This group of super soldiers, created by the human empire at the expense of countless money and resources, is like the civilians of the empire playing games, especially shooting games, who activate acceleration and self-aiming plug-ins for the characters they control and fire continuously, which makes everyone gathered here. The undead warriors fell down one after another and ran towards the depths of the pyramid at extremely fast speeds.

Moreover, the Spartan team is composed of six people, two of whom are responsible for charging with shields, and the remaining four are responsible for firepower output.

As for the firearms, it depends on their personal preferences. After all, they are elite battalions that follow the original body and have much more available funds than other battalions. However, each team must have a heavy-armed bolter to ensure that they can attack the enemy. fire suppression.

The auxiliary army, which had also fought against all kinds of horses and beasts, followed the Spartans forward to deal with those who wanted to make sneak attacks, or provide fire cover while the Spartans changed their ammunition.

After nearly three months of fighting, humans are no longer at a loss as they were when they first encountered the undead. On the contrary, after understanding the enemy, they are becoming more and more at ease.

Even during the rampaging raid, these hundreds of warriors were blocked by the concentrated fire of the Necrons, and casualties began to appear, but they were still able to maintain a record of 1:30 or even better than the Necrons.

You must know that there are many factors why the Human Empire is able to dominate the multiverse, but the most crucial point is that the Human Empire has millions of Astartes and more than a billion auxiliary troops.

"If you are unsure about something, just jump into a gang."

Since there are super soldiers, this advantage must be used to the best of its ability.

Screen switching.

Leaving the interior of the pyramid where the Spartans and the auxiliary army were raided by gang members, they came to the outside world where fierce naval battles were still taking place.

Many Necron battleships have been forced to withdraw from the battle due to human gang-hopping behavior, causing their engines to stop, or even being directly detonated internally.

However, this only relieved part of the pressure on the fleet, and the total number of ships on the Necron side was still overwhelming.

And in order for the 1st Battalion to carry out its mission more smoothly, the fleet must also hold back the undead as much as possible to prevent the other party from dedicating more force to stop the 1st Battalion.

The main source of pressure is the planet-sized world engine.

now.

Only the Leonidas, which is also a Celestial-class battleship, can deal with the World Engine. I saw that these two battleships, which were very different in size, were sparing no effort to pour out their respective artillery fire, trying to blast through the other side's shield.

And when the two Celestial-class warships were firing at each other, the three battalion commanders of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Battalions dispatched an assault boat formation carrying elite veterans, and also arranged centurions from their respective battalions. and naval combat mechas are responsible for escorting.

But the result was naturally "shot down" by the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the world engine.

And using the Terminator to teleport...

Battalion commanders will not waste the lives of veterans taking this risk.

Overlord-level undead tombs have the ability to isolate universal teleportation devices. Only legion-level artificial intelligence can directly remove the shield.

Then a Pharaoh's world engine must have a more powerful isolation effect. If it is teleported rashly, the Terminator veterans will either be excluded, or their bodies and armor will be "stuck" in the wall or deck.

Therefore, after trying once and failing, the battalion commanders no longer arbitrarily sent elites to join the World Engine.

However, just when the battle situation is inextricable...

"All battalion commanders listen to the order and send your excess ground forces to take the assault boat and attack the world engine with me."

On the battalion commander's exclusive communication channel, the voice of their original body came.

At the same time, the battalion commanders also discovered that there was a green dot on the holographic star map indicating that it was a friendly force sailing out of their home world.

And the label information given by the green dot is——

God's body.
