Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 122 03.0121: ‘Hunting Murder’

Valga, a lonely and desolate planet.

It is classified as an unclassified celestial body in the Imperial Ministry of the Interior and the Void Chart. There is no life on it, no atmosphere, but it is covered with the wreckage of many warships.

This is an ancient battlefield in the Gothic War era, with many dead souls and many terrible legends.

It is said that many sailors who passed by here witnessed terrible ghosts, and if they were not careful, they would be induced to death by the undead.

Although Horatio had never seen it, he did not intend to deny the authenticity of these stories. After all, this is the Warhammer universe, full of all kinds of monsters.

In the void near Valga, a Flamestorm-class frigate used the light light spear on the bow to shoot a dazzling beam of light at the Murder-class cruiser speeding at high speed, stirring up ripples on the void shield.

A Sword-class frigate followed behind and continuously consumed the energy of the enemy ship's void shield with macro cannons. It is easier to overload the void shield with live ammunition weapons.

Two Cobra-class destroyers were reloading torpedoes and waiting for their chance.

They had just fired eight torpedoes, forcing the enemy ships to turn and greatly slowing down their speed.

Everyone on the command bridge roughly saw the terrifying scarlet monster through the light and shadow.

It was a murder-class ship belonging to Khorne. The hull was decorated with countless huge horns, spikes and bones, which formed her spine and ribs. It was like a scarlet dragon wandering in the void. Just one look at it could make people feel deeply afraid.

16 macro cannons with skeletons on the muzzles began to turn and aim at the frigates and destroyers that were rushing on.

These "small boats" that were nearly one or two kilometers long strictly followed the orders of Commodore Perru and kept a distance from the enemy to block them.

They were maneuverable and flexible, like a pack of wolves hunting a tiger.

But the Murder-class is not a pushover. As a cruiser, her weapons have a range far beyond that of a frigate. The regulations for the macro cannon alone stipulate that the maximum firing distance is 1.5 times that of the weapons on the frigate.

If you don't care about the hit rate at all, the range can be even longer.

The 16 macro cannons on one side of the Murder-class cruiser fired at the same time, hitting the void shield of a Cobra-class destroyer.

"Report the overload situation!" The captain of the Cobra-class destroyer asked. She was a lieutenant colonel in her 30s.

"Report to the captain, their round of shooting caused an overload of about 45% of the void shield. We can only withstand two more rounds at most, and the void shield will be forced to stop and release excess energy!" A lieutenant in the power department reported.

"Weapons department, how long will it take to reload the torpedo!" The female captain looked at a captain.

"About 8 minutes! Captain."

She quickly calculated the reloading time of both sides and thought about the next battle method.

Although the Chaos warships are old, they were once the property of the empire after all. Naval officers were required to memorize the approximate firing rate of each installed artillery.

The small-caliber cannons of the rebel ship obviously had a faster firing rate, and the female lieutenant colonel captain did not intend to risk being destroyed and charge without thinking.

"Notify the 'Silver Sword' (Cobra class) to sail in front of us and block a round of artillery fire for us. Reduce the speed, the maximum allowable speed of this ship is 11 void knots."

In the void, two Cobra class destroyers quickly changed their formation, from the side-by-side route to pursue the maximum torpedo salvo firepower, to a line, and headed straight towards the Murder class cruiser.

A burst of intensive alternating shooting rumbled, and the Murder class opened fire again.

Huge shells like raindrops hit the 'Silver Sword', and the void shield vibrated with gorgeous rainbow-colored ripples.

Buzz-a roaring whistle sounded.

The surface of the Murder-class cruiser dispersed a layer of void shield halo, which was caused by the Flamestorm-class frigate that was following it and overloaded it with a light spear.

But almost at the same time, another layer of void shield was activated.

The larger the ship, the more void shield generators it has. Cruisers usually have two void shields to cover alternately, and the Murder-class is no exception.

And the torpedo is a high-powered weapon that can directly break through the enemy's void shield and cause large-scale structural damage to the hull.

The huge warhead can instantly open a big hole in the armored shell of the enemy warship to destroy all living things.

"Torpedoes loaded, Captain!"

"Coordinate the battle position with the 'Silver Sword', let's give the traitors a big gift!"

The two warships coordinated through close communication between officers on both sides, and the officers of the navigation department worked closely with the technical priests to adapt the battle position to sail side by side at an extremely efficient speed.

Cobra-class destroyer, bow torpedo compartment.

"Pull! Heyyo! Pull!" The shirtless crew members in the scorching environment turned the lock and closed the huge torpedo compartment latch.

"The torpedo tube closure inspection is complete..." A technical priest reported, operating the display console in front of him and reporting to the command bridge.

"The torpedo body is preheated normally..."

"Promethium has been injected..."

"Captain... waiting for your order."
