Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

"Captain, Captain Horatio Cochran reporting to you."

On the bridge of the Indefatigable, a well-dressed Horatio saluted Captain Edward Perrue.

"Ceremony, Captain Horatio. As you can see, the entire fleet has entered the second level combat alert state." Commodore Peru nodded slightly, and then directly cut to the topic.

"Yes, did the investigation team find anything?"

"An enemy fleet belongs to the green-skinned orcs. It is the one we encountered near Mandeville Point. They have appeared in the H39-H40 coordinate domain 30 degrees from the fleet, about 130,000 kilometers away."

The Commodore looked solemn: "In addition, there is a Chaos Fleet cruising around the Farr Star. Its current position is approximately in the 300-310 direction, and there are traces in the X78-X65 coordinate domain about 150,000 kilometers away.

We don’t know whether this is the one that was led out of Farr, or a new one that escaped from the subspace rift, but according to the reconnaissance report, both fleets have been damaged, and maybe they have already fought. "

All the captains gathered together, looked at the battle situation map with the captain and lord captain, and analyzed the strategic intentions.

‘So everyone, do you think they are watching us nearby, or are they about to launch an attack on Fal Star? asked the captain.

The captains began to discuss, and before getting involved in the discussion, Horatio consumed two points of energy, at the cost of increasing two points of corrosion, and used one Omen Shard and one new skill Omen Revelation on each of the two enemies.

‘Activation: Omens of Revelation’

‘Omen Revelation (Elementary): Spending one point of ability and increasing one point of corrosion can reveal the forward and backward movements of up to two enemy armies/fleets at the strategic level for your strategic reference. ’

Soon, he saw the current and future movements of the two fleets from the misty black clouds.

There is no doubt that just from the distribution of anchor mines in the surroundings, Horatio could tell that the two fleets were following their respective turning arcs and preparing to launch an impact towards the gap in the Fal Star.

First comes the Greenskin Fleet, which will arrive first, while the Chaos Rebellion's Traitor Fleet will wait and watch.

When the Greenskin ships entered the outer orbit of the planet, the Betrayer fleet launched an attack on the gap on Falr after confirming the Greenskin's strategic intentions, trying to replicate the operations of the Imperial Navy.

"A battle of three armies, they want to attack Fal Star now."

Horatio looked at the battle map and said: "Before, they were gathering nearby remnants and gathering troops.

But they are now ready to attack, and the time left will not exceed three days at most, or maybe even only one day. "

Based on the timeliness of omen revelation and omen fragments, he made the above judgment.

"How can you be sure so quickly?" The captain of the operations department questioned his so sure tone.

"Yes, sir. We must prepare immediately, and discuss and determine whether we should fight in the narrower inner track inside the anchor mine, or drive out directly and engage in line combat with the enemy in the wider void."

Horatio suggested wisely.

He looked at Captain Peru with firm eyes.

Brigadier General Edward Perroux looked into his eyes and nodded affirmatively.

This young man made the same judgment as the experienced man, which made him very happy.

He carries an unknown secret:

The commander-in-chief of the Gothic Fleet, Lord Admiral Venusca Catalia, and the president of the Military Academy, Admiral George Anson, both asked him to give Horatio room to play freely, examine his comprehensive capabilities from a third-party perspective, and He will report after returning so that the Gothic Fleet can make further plans for his personnel arrangements.

Of course, in the current void situation, as the fleet commander, he would issue battle orders even if no one proposed it.

Because he understands the aliens and the heretics.

Once those aliens gather together, they will attack regardless of life and death. Now, they have reached such a scale.

He was sure the aliens would do this.

"Captain Sterling, prepare the entire fleet for battle."

"yes."

"Brigadier General Andrew, it's time to decide whether we drive out of the minefield and fight in the wide outer void orbit, or fight in the narrow inner orbit."

The commander of the Karl-Duniash Squadron looked solemn, and he looked quite concerned.

"The cruisers in our squadron all have shuttle ramps and several carrier-based aircraft carriers. They are not suitable for operations in outer orbit."

Brigadier General Peru seemed to have seen something and reminded: "There is a minefield in front of the inner orbit and a planet gravity well behind it. Once you choose to fight in the inner orbit, you will not have much room to maneuver to avoid the collision and approach of enemy ships."

"No, we will stay in the inner orbit, but I can reinforce you with two light cruisers and an escort squadron." The other party finally made a decision and firmly refused, but also left a certain amount of leeway.

"Well, since it is your fleet's decision, we will respect it. But we will still go to the outer orbit to conduct mobile operations, otherwise we will lose important mobility and become a clumsy coastal defense fort."

"I wish you good luck, Commodore Peru. We will also prepare for combat immediately and use carrier-based aircraft to provide support to you."

‘No need, your fleet should protect itself first. I’m worried that if a fight breaks out, no one will care about the other. The carrier-based aircraft transferred into the star fort during this period are enough to support us. "

"Well, I wish you all good luck in military affairs. Please take care."

"You too, please take care."

The commanders of the two strike groups saluted each other, ended the communication meeting, and began to arrange the tactics of their fleets.

Sure enough, not long after, the Serpent-class reconnaissance ship, which was sailing silently and stealthily, received the latest movement of the greenskin fleet.

They had about 30 ships of various sizes, forming a fleet of moderate size,

and were moving towards the direction of Far Star at a high speed.

The reconnaissance ship also discovered the Chaos attack ship that was also conducting reconnaissance. Two Sword-class escort ships intercepted them. A brief exchange of fire broke out between the two sides, and the Chaos attack ship then retreated.

Obviously, the Chaos fleet was also closely observing the tense situation around the planet.

Horatio recalled the scene he had seen in the omen fragments just now. The surface of these Chaos warships was bumpy, and many secondary weapons and close defense turrets were still in tatters. It was obvious that they were severely beaten by the greenskins. They should be the Far Star garrison fleet that was led out.

But he was not sure whether the Chaos Fleet had reinforcements, nor did he know the reinforcements of the Greenskin Fleet. He could only fight and see what was happening.

Fortunately, Iron Hand's upper limit of corrosion allowed him to conduct multiple omen observations today.

But even so, the battle still depended more on his own naval battle experience and judgment, and the omen intelligence could not directly put the correct answer in front of him.

The unknown war situation and the unknown direction of the war made everyone tense.

It was time to test the countless professional theoretical skills and adaptability he had learned in the sergeant training school, the officer preparatory school, and especially in the military academy.
