Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Chapter 170 The Celestial Body Arrives

The Celestial Engine has arrived.

In the planetary structure, Gray and Yaoen stood in a vast space that functioned as a bridge and viewed the holographic image.

When the satellite structure of the celestial engine is rotating, it continuously releases detection waves that spread to the entire galaxy, transmitting the situation in the entire galaxy to a very large holographic projection device.

The crew members rode floating trains around the bridge, sending the various structures of the celestial engine and the status of weapons to the departments that needed to know this information.

Either an intelligent or stone human could do the job, but it's now applying its computing power to more important things.

"Report to the marshal, the army is ready."

"Weapon arrays and shields are in good working order."

"The Celestial Engine has entered stellar orbit."

"..."

Various messages were sent to Gray.

Gray was assigned as the marshal in this battle. Even though he didn't know the origins of the people he was fighting, he could realize that he was nothing compared to those war gang leaders who had been fighting for thousands of years. .

But people like him are the ones with the most actual combat experience in the Tyrone galaxy and have conducted the most virtual war training.

Fortunately, Gray knew that some kind of existence that kept the celestial engine running would calculate the best war strategy, and everyone else would just execute it.

The regiment commander-level officers who arrived by train one after another gathered next to the holographic image. The war officially began when more than a thousand regiment commanders arrived.

"Obviously, we cannot directly deliver the army to the surface of the forging world, at least not before gaining orbital control." Gray looked at the automatically generated strategic plan next to the holographic image.

The others nodded and continued to stare at the hologram.

Fleets all over the galaxy noticed the sudden appearance of the celestial engine, and because the celestial engine did not launch an attack immediately, the enemy fleet began to boldly try to actively attack.

The fleet in orbit around the forge world opened fire as it sailed toward the Celestial Engine, then maintained maximum firing range and concentrated fire as the first ship was gravitated towards the Celestial Engine.

The firepower of more than two hundred battleships, large and small, looks truly spectacular.

There are countless torpedoes, macro-cannons, light spears, and a variety of strange ship-based weapons. These strange weapons carry out very supernatural attacks.

The flesh-and-blood mouth attached to the periphery of the ship sprays out plague viruses, releases psychic lightning...in short, each shows its magical powers.

When a large number of attacks swept towards the Celestial Engine, a satellite was accelerated and blocked between the Celestial Engine planetary structure and the fleet. It used a shield to withstand most of the light spears and macro cannon fire, and those psychic attacks such as lightning. Then the shield disappeared halfway before even hitting it.

A small number of attacks that were not blocked by the shield of the satellite structure hit the shield of the planetary structure. However, the shield of the planetary structure was stronger, and a small number of attacks could not do anything to it.

The torpedoes followed, and the close-range defense array on the satellite released a fire net that could be seen on any planet in the galaxy to intercept all the torpedoes.

After encountering a wave of attacks, the celestial engine continued to operate as usual, accelerating in orbit around the star. At the same time, the two metal satellites turned their side loaded with weapons arrays towards the fleet.

"Why don't they leave?" Yao En asked in confusion. Think about it for a moment, if you were the leader of the enemy fleet, you would run away at the first sight of the celestial engine.

Battleships and defense platforms are still suffering from the bombardment...Has the enemy not seen the charging weapon arrays on the satellites?

At this time, the weapon array began to charge, and the various colors of light condensed from the huge number of particle spear launchers and various other super-heavy turrets made the satellite structure look as dazzling as a light bulb.

"The enemy must have a reason not to evacuate." Gray frowned and thought for a moment, and could probably guess why the enemy fleet did not evacuate. "I estimate that all their ground troops have been deployed. For example, if our guards We are all fighting on the same planet. At this time, our own fleet in the void realizes that the enemy's fleet that suddenly arrived is very powerful. Could they abandon us and withdraw immediately? We have to try to deal with it at least."

After hearing this, Yao En thought about it and thought it made sense.

From a rational point of view, we should withdraw immediately, but who can always be rational?

During the conversation, the weapons array on the satellite began firing a salvo.

Countless particle lances, material live ammunition, and newly developed weapons such as arcs all hit the enemy ships directly.

A light spear hit the void shield and was deflected, but more light spears followed closely. The frigate's void shield could not hold out for even a second, and the hull was pierced by the light spear at the moment of overload.

The electric arc jumped back and forth between the ships, just like electrocuting fish in the river. The ships without void shields were electrocuted in pieces, while those with void shields could barely survive.

After one satellite finished shooting, it accelerated towards the back of the planet. Another satellite circled around and opened fire immediately after most of the weapon arrays entered the hit angle. Another round of devastating attacks covered the enemy fleet.

After the two rounds of strikes, a report appeared on the holographic image.

The shooting is over.

Efficiency Rating: Poor.

Gray raised his eyebrows as he looked at the report. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was really inefficient.

Since the enemy warships did not have time to adjust from orbital bombing formation to combat formation and were not far apart from each other, the first wave of attacks destroyed a large number of warships in front of the fleet, but most of the second wave of attacks that followed were Hitting the wreckage, the light spear penetrated a section of the abandoned hull, and its power was reduced before it hit the warship further behind.

However, this efficiency rating also depends on who you are comparing it to.

Two rounds of attacks by the weapon arrays on the two satellites annihilated about 40% of the enemy fleet's warships.

In this kind of void battle where the celestial engine and the fleet are bombarded, it is meaningless to calculate the loss of a single ship body. The battle damage can only be calculated by considering the fleet as a whole.

The Celestial Engine continues to accelerate around the star, and the weapon arrays on the two satellites begin to recharge. The Nightbringer fragments imprisoned in the core of the Celestial Engine's planetary structure must not only supply the energy normally consumed by the Celestial Engine, but also must recharge the weapon arrays. Charging... this is simply draining.

It's a pity that the Nightbringer fragment is trapped in the Tesseract Labyrinth, otherwise its screams could be heard throughout the galaxy.

The Celestial Engines were getting closer to the Forge World, and closer to those fleets.

The weapon array is still not fully charged, but another weapon is waiting to be used.

Teleporters transport large quantities of bombs stored in the Celestial Engine's planetary structure warehouses to the location of the enemy fleet.

Since there are too many bombs, it is impossible to calculate each bomb accurately, so the error in this transmission is relatively large, but there are still more than a dozen enemy ships superimposed with the bombs.
