Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 128 03.0127: ‘Necessary Call to Arms’

Various gunshots echoed in the cabins on the port side of the Indefatigable.

Horatio didn’t know how many cabins were hit by the landing pods, but there were definitely a lot of them.

These abominable blasphemous metals spread death and abominable screams.

Some crew members were unfortunately hit by the broken metal blocks produced by the collision and turned into a pool of blood on the spot.

And the minions of the Blood God carried in the cabin rushed towards the armed forces of the Imperial Navy like a tide.

They screamed, roared, and roared excitedly, their sharp black and yellow teeth due to mutation were ugly and hideous, holding weapons blessed by the evil god, all kinds of laser guns, machetes, and battle axes, as long as they were useful for boarding battles, they had everything.

From their spiked armor, we can see the original form of the Imperial Guard's standard equipment. There is no doubt that these Blood Pact soldiers are rebellious planetary defense forces or Imperial Guard soldiers. They betrayed the Emperor they swore to sacrifice their lives for, and created killing and despair for the Blood God.

Their goal is to cause as much chaos and destruction as possible to the Indefatigable, and finally die for their evil master.

But the Imperial Navy is not a vegetarian.

It has soldiers and crew members who are willing to die generously to protect this warship, and has highly professional officers.

The Operations Department is dispatching mobile forces to reinforce the invaded deck.

According to the restrictive decree on the Imperial Navy in the Guilliman Code, the armed forces on the ship shall not exceed 20% of the registered crew of the entire ship, and the maximum quota of professional boarding team "Breakers" is 30% of the total number of armed forces.

Horatio calculated that even if strictly according to this standard, there are at least more than 30,000 armed forces on the Indefatigable with more than 150,000 crew members, of which more than 9,000 are heavy elite troops.

But 70% of the armed forces have designated defense areas to guard against lightning strikes from enemy ships and cannot be mobilized at will. Only about 30% are mobile forces that can be dispatched for support.

Therefore, if necessary, Horatio can issue an armed conscription order and mobilize thousands of ordinary crew members to fight. This is the role of the key.

The boarding battle of the void giant ship is chaotic. There are shouts and screams on the decks in the gun cabin. Many places can only fight on their own under the leadership of non-commissioned officers and warrant officers.

Facing the continuous distress signals received by the command platform, Farida seemed very panicked.

But Horatio knew that this chaos could only be gradually eliminated, and anxiety would only make things worse.

With the help of the command hand, as long as it is within the command radius, the soldiers and crew can see it, even if he cannot see it directly with his naked eyes, but he still has a bird's-eye view. It's like playing a real-time strategy game with real flesh and blood.

He continuously released new psychic shadows, allowing the soldiers to pull and block the enemy, trying to stabilize the battle situation around the command platform and minimize the casualties of his troops.

Although the number of sailors and crew members under his command was large, they were still valuable and critical to the entire void battle and the subsequent direction.

After all, no one knew what the Khorne believers wanted to do by leading the Blade of Vengeance here.

It was necessary to defend the artillery fortress under his command while the casualties were controllable, and these soldiers would be useful in subsequent battles.

Under his comprehensive command, the soldiers near the command platform uniformly stretched out their guns from various bunkers and launched a volley.

The heavy firepower fulcrums on the high platform, such as heavy bolt guns and Gatling-like multi-barreled laser guns, used fierce firepower to punish the servants of the Blood God.

Many enemy soldiers were swept down by these fierce weapons like cutting rice the moment the landing module springboard was lowered.

The blazing red lasers interweave and shuttle through the wide cabin space, illuminating the darkness.

The crew must continue their duties under the hail of bullets. Farida asked the warrant officer to command them to continue reloading to share the pressure with Horatio.

No matter how bad the battle in the cabin is, the battle in the void must continue.

The exchange of fire between warships continues, and the hulls continue to tremble. The shells of the Murder-class cruiser even kill their own people indiscriminately.

The power system of the Indefatigable is one of the first parts attacked by these enemies, followed by the fierce gun deck.

The enemy's intention is obvious. As long as the speed is reduced and the firepower output of the Indefatigable is weakened, they can jump up and attack other important cores of the warship with tens of thousands of people.

This makes the plasma engine room, the third and fourth macro guns on the port side of the middle, and the No. 1 Light Lance turret on the port side the hardest hit areas of the invasion.

The main force of the support force is being sent to block the enemies heading to the power system. According to reports, there are even Khorne Space Marines there. The Blood Angels assault veterans on the ship are on their way to support.

The remaining 30% of the troops will be sent to the gun deck if there is space on the train. This means that Horatio must first use these two thousand armed sailors to block the tens of thousands of invaders, and then wait for the reinforcements to arrive before organizing a siege.

This is a test of the art of command, but fortunately the command hand can help him do it. He does not need to spend a lot of words to send squads to nearby designated battle positions in real time and accurately.

The armed sailors on the gun deck used shining bayonets to block the cultists who wanted to massacre the crew of the gun crew and interfere with loading and firing. The size of the special naval laser gun is convenient for engaging in bloody hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in a narrow environment.

They are high-spirited and fierce, and many of them are sons of the void born in the clans of the gun deck.

This is not only the place they have to protect, but also their home.

Even if someone is knocked down, he will be dragged away soon, and then the next sailor will replace him.

Some blood army sergeants leading the team have found Horatio and Farida who are commanding in the armored platform. They can recognize that these two are the officers in charge of command.

But their weapons cannot penetrate the solid alloy and thick bulletproof glass, so they began to attack upwards, shouting to chop off their heads.

"Breakers, stop the enemy!" Horatio ordered the Breaker boarding team that was waiting for battle.

"Yes, sir!" The dull voice of the Breaker sergeant's heavy void helmet came from the communication device.

These elite warriors wearing heavy boarding armor, armed to the teeth, and with a small number of people, guard the most important key roads and the structural walls supporting the main structure of the ship.

They are real tough guys!

The shield guards holding the boarding shields used their solid alloy shields to block the enemy's firepower. Three vertically parallel heavy shotguns sprayed shotgun shells with amazing efficiency, killing the cultists who rushed over.

These traitor soldiers were smashed to pieces by the huge projectiles, and their flesh and blood were blurred. The broken limbs and arms flew around like they were being swept by a broom. The blood flowed all over the ground, blending with the dirty deck dirt and becoming sticky.

The axemen stood behind the shield guards and chopped off any guy who tried to squeeze in from both sides of the shield.

This seemed to be a very pleasant thing. Horatio looked down at these burly tall warriors, waving the bloody cabin-breaking axes vigorously to smash the enemy's heads into a bloody mess, quite proud of the Viking berserkers.

The heavy grenadiers used grenade launchers from the rear to throw large-yield fragmentation grenades into the crowd to kill and injure the enemy. The sergeant held a naval grenade gun and kept firing, while ordering the soldiers to pull according to Horatio's instructions.

The void gunners stood on the commanding heights, manipulating heavy weapons with both hands to wield the barrage of bullets. The No. 3 and No. 4 gunners carried boxes of ammunition or large energy blocks and lined them up on the platform deck. The deputy gunners opened several boxes and replaced the empty heavy weapons with new ammunition at any time to ensure uninterrupted firepower.

"Shoot them, don't let any dregs leak up!"

"Yes! Sir!!" Their roars and gunshots were endless.

Although every level of the gun deck was fighting, the situation near the command platform was not too serious. The boarding team relied on the terrain and equipment advantages to block the enemy forces that rushed up. And there were sufficient reserve troops in the garrison cabin below the command platform to replace the panting soldiers.

Horatio had just taken a breath when he received an urgent signal for help from the warrant officer gunner of the No. 4 macro gun on the port side. The gunshots were so noisy that he could hardly hear clearly.

"Sir! The enemy has penetrated the No. 4 macro gun bomb deck through the damaged bulkhead. There are our ready-to-fire ammunition there. The armed forces are blocking the enemy at all costs. Please request support from the reserve." The warrant officer reported in a hurried tone, but still calmly and competently.

"Which compartments are still under our control now?" Horatio needed to know the specific situation so that he could mobilize personnel.

"The bomb bay and its peripheral storage deck are still... Boom!!! ......"

"..." Horatio was silent for a second or two, and there was still no sound coming from the other side.

The communication was cut off in a sharp explosion, perhaps the internal communication cable was blown up.

"The reserve team will assemble immediately, and the armed forces sergeant will report to the command platform." The situation was urgent, and Horatio immediately shouted with the sound array.

"What's wrong?" Farida looked at Horatio's extremely serious expression, guessing that something bad might have happened, so she stepped forward and asked.

"There was an accident on the bomb deck of the No. 4 macro gun. The enemy is fighting with the defenders for the control of the bomb bay. If they detonate the ammunition inside..."

"God Emperor! We will be blown to ashes together." Farida covered her mouth.

"There is no room for failure. I will lead the team there myself."

The most reliable way at the moment is to lead the team there personally, use the command hand in the complex cabin, and improve the efficiency of the reserve team's advancement. Otherwise, they may have to play cat and mouse games with the enemy in the intricate cabin for a long time.

Horatio looked at Farida's eyes seriously: "Farida, candidate officer."

"Yes!"

"Stay at your post and continue to command the macro gun. If there is a situation that you are not sure about, contact me directly." Horatio took out the blood-red chainsaw sword from the sword box.

"Yes...Be careful." Farida looked at Horatio worriedly and saluted him.

"This is the command platform of the second macro gun array on the port side..."

Horatio's voice echoed in the cabins of the two gun groups through the sound array system.

"In the name of the officer in charge of the second gun emplacement on the port side, I officially issue an armed call! All crew members take up arms and fight any invaders they see!"

The crew members who were loading, the armed sailors hiding behind the bunkers and fighting back, the boarding team, the non-commissioned officers and warrant officers all heard his voice and looked at the sound array.
