Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 125 03.0124: ‘Duel, now is my turn! ’

The two warships were speeding through the void, and the dense fire from the macro cannons and light spears illuminated their respective hulls.

In order to seize the gap when the enemy ships lost the protection of the void shield, the officers of the Indefatigable Operations Department announced free fire, and the flames spewed out wantonly, spreading death.

After the free fire order was issued, the second group of artillery batteries commanded by Horatio had a fast loading speed and high accuracy.

The shells fired did not hit the designated position at most, but none of them missed the target.

The surface of one side of the Murder-class cruiser became scarred, and Horatio could clearly see 14 bullet holes on it, as well as the ‘pattern’ carved by the light spear.

“Adjust the muzzle angle of the No. 3 macro cannon, the elevation angle is positive 5 degrees, and the direction angle is negative 4 degrees!”

Horatio’s head was sweating a lot, and he marked several key parts of the Murder-class within the shooting range on the search atlas.

He held a compass and a ruler in his hands, constantly correcting the last round of shooting and the current course and speed of both sides. Farida reported the latest parameters to him in real time and compared the data. Both of them were very busy.

The shooting indicator lighted up.

"The shells are loaded! The parameters are corrected." Farida responded.

Horatio immediately shouted: "Fire!"

He had always wanted to completely destroy the opponent's void shield, but because the course and speed of both sides changed too quickly, the enemy ship kept trying to get close to the Indefatigable. Captain Peru always kept a distance from it and used the artillery accuracy that the Imperial Navy was proud of to dismantle the enemy ship's hull bit by bit.

The shells flew out of the barrel. Horatio looked at the pocket watch.

"Why do you always look at the watch?" Farida asked curiously.

"I'm counting the time." Horatio frowned.

"What time?" Farida showed a puzzled expression.

"The enemy ship's void shield restart time." He looked up at the crimson hull, his eyes like arrows.

He saw the explosion point of the shell.

And compared it with the drawings to see where it hit.

The previous shell opened a hole in the hull, but the penetration and explosion were only enough to penetrate the shallow hull.

He hoped that the second shell would hit roughly the same position, because directly below it was the second void shield generator.

Earlier, the No. 1 turret accidentally blew a gap in the front midship of the hull. Horatio looked at the location of the gap thoughtfully, and immediately compared it with the search atlas. Sure enough, the deep cabin below was the void shield generator.

"Hit, next one, double normal bullet (a high-charge heavy bullet used at close range), hurry!" Horatio shouted.

The contract workers pulled desperately, and their backs were whipped bloody. They were tired, but Horatio had to seize every minute and second, even if it would cause some of the contract workers to die of exhaustion.

He was lying on the table calculating the muzzle turn, sweating profusely, and Farida asked the servant to bring him water and towels.

"No. 4 macro cannon is loaded!"

"Muzzle adjustment is complete!"

"Fire!" Horatio took the towel and wiped it casually across his face, shouting at the same time.

Boom!

Another huge shell rushed towards the enemy ship.

[There are about 20 seconds left... The enemy ship's void shield should be raised...] Horatio bit his lower lip, watching the stopwatch on the pocket watch while watching the sparks that were about to appear on the hull of the enemy ship.

Inside the enemy ship.

"Quick, move the energy battery away!"

"Overload release completed!"

At this time, in the secondary void shield cabin, the crew members who believed in Khorne drove the imperial prisoners and civilians of the fallen world they captured from the battlefield. These slaves undertook high-risk work, and many of them were burned into charcoal on the spot by the leaking energy batteries.

After the void shield is overloaded, the excess energy will be transmitted to the corresponding energy battery through the converter. These batteries are not only the energy source of the light spear cannon, but also the energy source for the operation of ship equipment. The same is true for the Indefatigable.

"Prepare to raise the shield..." The cultist captain just shouted.

A huge shell exploded on the upper deck diagonally to their side, and the shock wave and shrapnel tore through the armor between several layers of cabins. The raging flames, like the tongue of a devil, stretched into the generator cabin of the secondary void shield, and all the lives licked would instantly turn into ashes.

The cultist crew members were on fire and screamed, while those who were killed by the huge fragments were relieved.

The void shield generator was burned black by the huge high temperature, and some circuits were burned off. The leaked electricity turned the hundreds of square meters of area near the device into a fatal death zone.

If you want to repair it, you have to cut off the energy of the void shield, and the repair will take a long time.

"Hit it!" Horatio saw the fire coming out of the deep deck through the sighting gun mirror, and he clenched his fist with joy and waved it hard.

"Report! The lookout department observed that the No. 4 macro cannon on the port side hit the secondary void shield generating compartment of the enemy ship." The lieutenant reported to the captain.

"Well done!" Captain Peru slapped his thigh.

"Captain, the power department sent a briefing. The energy overload of our ship's last void shield has reached 96%, and the crew has begun to release the overload energy."

Lieutenant Sterling reported: "In the next round, we will use the hull structure to resist the shells."

"Passionate time is always short."

Captain Peru sighed: "But there is no way, the void war is like this, grinding each other's void shields, and then slapping each other in the face."

"Issue a warning of being hit!" Lieutenant Sterling, sitting on the captain's throne, ordered.

"All personnel, prepare to resist the bombardment!!" The officer passed the order down.

The second macro-cannon array armored command platform on the port side.

"Alert! Alert! All units are ready to be attacked. Our ship's void shield is about to lose energy. Alert! All units are ready to be attacked. Our ship's void shield is about to lose energy." The warning indicator light flashed rapidly, and the tone and content of the voice broadcast made people feel heavy pressure.

"Battery! Damage control preparation!" Horatio pointed at the microphone on the display console, and his voice came from the loudspeakers of the two gun cabins.

Some crew members put on void fireproof suits, checked the water supply, and picked up the thick high-pressure water gun from the bulkhead and stood by.

The sailors of the armed forces ran to the cabin where the contract workers were, set up the revolving multi-barrel laser gun to prevent the chains from exploding, and these contract workers began to escape and resist.

A team of Mechanicus repair monks led the shackled slaves to the gun deck. The slaves dragged the huge repair steel plates with chains.

Thanks to the large life support system and the ship's hull support force field, even if a hole is opened on the ship, oxygen will not leak out on a large scale.

As long as people are not sucked into the void, there is no need to worry about unnecessary things. The artillery is still loading, and everything on the ship is as tight as ever, and the original work is being carried out step by step.

Farida became nervous again.

When the shells hit the hull of the enemy of the Empire, she was excited, but now the enemy ship has raised a void shield, and her side will be hit.

She has seen the huge shells of the macro cannon, so she is in awe. She can't imagine how miserable it would be to be hit by such a shell.

Horatio saw her uneasiness and gently comforted her: "Don't worry too much, the caliber of the enemy ship's macro cannon is only one-fifth of ours. We have an alloy gun shield and the thickest armor belt on the side in front of us. The place where we stand is an armored gun control platform. It is very difficult for the shells to hit us."

"Yeah." Farida responded.

"Stand behind me." Horatio calmly put his hand on his sword, holding his head high and chest out, fearless, and his broad shoulders made people feel safe.

"Who said I was afraid?" Farida stood side by side with Horatio with a firm expression, and said with full energy.

"When two sides meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and what we lack the least is courage. We will dismantle their raised void shields again."

"You are right, they will definitely die today!"

Boom!

The two ships fired a salvo at the same time.

"Enemy ship shells are coming!"
