Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!
Chapter 444 06.0443: ‘Wolf among the sheep’
Aquila I shut down all its signal sources and quietly moved to the back of the planet under the cover of the ships parked in orbit, hoping to avoid possible radar detection by the enemy.
"Fasha, Fasha, look at that!"
When the fighter plane circled the semi-arc of the sphere, the sharp-eyed Veronica had already seen a long line of merchant-class transport ships, which were transporting the loaded troops to the planet under the escort of several frigates and destroyers.
"No, it's an alien transport fleet! We must report to the commander immediately!"
"Wait, is that the Epic?"
Veronica, who was about to turn back to send a signal, looked at the three attack ships following behind in surprise, suppressed her doubts, and continued to fly stealthily.
With the help of the Void Commander, Horatio did not need to wait for the carrier-based aircraft to return and turn on the signal light to know the situation like other warships.
Within the entire skill range, any target detected by the allied warships or fighters can be displayed in his mind in real time.
This skill can also be connected to the warship through the command throne to assist him in controlling the warship.
As the observation results were imported, the Tau Empire warships that were visually searching for the enemy had been included in the calculation one by one, and the officers were busy calculating the attack parameters.
"Hold steady and follow my instructions." He looked at the high plane through the porthole above his head. The strike cruiser of the Doomsday Eagle Regiment and two Gladius escort ships were heading from the high plane to the back of the planet.
The Astartes asked the captain to turn on the bird's radar, luring the Tau Empire escort ships to leave the team in advance and swarming them.
"May the Astartes beat these aliens hard. Confirm the real-time positions of E47 and E48."
"E47 is at the 243 direction of our ship, 5 kilometers behind. E48 is at the 170 direction of our ship, 3 kilometers behind."
"Send the flag signal and change to a triangular attack formation. The speed of the formation is reduced to 1/3 of the speed. Our ship is responsible for attacking the enemy's mid-stage transport ships, E48 is responsible for attacking the ships around the low-Earth orbit, and E47 attacks the rear-stage transport ships.
Each torpedo is aimed at a different target, first paralyze it! Then sink it!" Horatio issued the final order for the formation to fight.
When the "sheepdogs" were almost gone, the three attack ships that maintained full-band silence also gradually slowed down and arrived at the designated combat position with the highest efficiency.
Through the void sand table, Horatio had already seen the current situation clearly.
The Imperial Army transport fleet and the Tau Empire Armed Forces transport fleet were just on the two sides of the planet, and they were simultaneously transporting troops to the planet Basor.
Perhaps it was the credit of the spies, or perhaps it was for other reasons, the Tau Empire Combat Command had learned of the Empire's landing and fighting plan for Basor, and sent reinforcements.
But they did not expect that the Imperial Army would arrive so quickly under the escort of the Imperial Navy.
The Tau Empire Armed Forces, which originally planned to increase troops in advance, strengthen defenses, and be on high alert against the Imperial Army, were caught off guard and landed on the same day as the Imperial Army, and fierce exchanges of fire occurred as soon as they landed.
"Captain, the lead time for the launch of the four torpedoes has been calculated." Torpedo Officer Fideo pressed the last button on the torpedo calculator and reported.
"Wait for my command. "
Second Officer Louise and First Officer Archie looked at each other, not quite understanding what the captain was thinking.
"Captain, the ship's four torpedo silos have been preheated."
"I know, Louise, but we have to wait for the three attack ships that come around from the other side. The six attack ships form a 'Void Wolf Pack' and launch a fierce attack together, so that we can cause a devastating surprise attack on the enemy."
Louise's previous doubts were solved, but new doubts arose.
How did Horatio know where the three attack ships that came around from the opposite side of the planet had arrived at this time?
Through the void sandbox, Horatio concentrated on observing the real-time positions of all parties in the void battle.
When the three attack ships on the back arrived at the position, the captains of the three attack ships were surprised to find that the outer contours of the ship were marked in red.
"What is that?" Captain Pierre was a little stunned. After a moment of stunnedness, he suddenly remembered that the young squadron commander had said in the previous war situation meeting, 'If you see the red outline of the enemy, you don't need to report or ask, it's the enemy ship logo, just launch an attack!
"Torpedo No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 start warming up! Torpedo No. 1 target, 7005! Torpedo No. 2 target, 7007! Torpedo No. 3 target, 7009! Torpedo No. 4 target, 7010!"
Horatio held the telescope and looked calmly at the transport fleet of the Tau Empire. Countless small landing ships were transporting rows of armed forces and their vassal troops to the ground.
"The ship's torpedo engines are all ready to go and warm up!"
"Now." He continued to hold the telescope and said calmly.
"All torpedo speeds are adjusted to 50 void knots. First launch torpedoes 3 and 4, and then launch torpedoes 1 and 2 after a delay of 10 seconds."
The targets of torpedoes 3 and 4 are farther away. According to his calculations, a delay of 10 seconds will allow the four torpedoes to hit the target at the same time, maximizing the effect of the raid.
"Launch torpedoes 3 and 4!"
The slide cover of the torpedo well has been retracted.
As the engineers led by Lati finished the necessary prayers of the God of All Machines, the prosthetic limbs behind her controlled the meditator array of the torpedo launch platform, silently chanting the "Hymn of Fury", and the tail of the torpedo, whose engine had been preheated, immediately burst into flames and shot out from the torpedo well as big as a house.
Tau Empire battleship.
"Kan#Feng! A hostile torpedo appeared on the starboard side of our ship!" A radar operator reported to the Air Clan captain.
"What? Why is there a hostile warship on the starboard side! The radar shows no signal!"
“Torpedo found on port side!
correct! Hostile torpedoes were found on both starboard and starboard sides! ! '
There was a brief commotion and panic on the bridge of the Tau Empire Merchant-class transport aircraft, which exuded a technological blue light.
They didn't know how the Empire's torpedoes suddenly appeared from both sides.
Moreover, these transport planes are parked to release the armed forces carried inside.
The merchant-class speed is slow, and the engine afterburner is also sluggish. The total distance from launch to hit is less than 300 kilometers. It is impossible to make any effective avoidance against the speeding Helios short-burning torpedo. Maneuver.
There were only two Orca-class destroyers nearby, which were firing at torpedoes with their ion close-in defense cannons in vain.
But they had no idea that there was a terrifying Void Killer hidden nearby. When the torpedo was fired and intercepted and locked by radar, confirming that it was an Imperial torpedo, it was too late to intercept it.
The four Merchant-class cargo ships were directly hit, and the huge nuclear detonation torpedo ruthlessly tore the carrier compartment from the middle.
The Tau Empire armed forces and their armor transported in the cargo bay were wiped out in just a moment without firing a single shot.
"Report to Captain, all four torpedoes hit!"
As soon as Louise finished speaking, the torpedoes fired by other ships also exploded with golden fireworks in the Tau Empire fleet.
Even the first two Merchant-class cargo ships, which had released the landing troops and turned around without load, were not spared.
The wolf pack composed of six attack ships efficiently implemented Horatio's order to "paralyze first, then sink".
"Reload quickly! Some of the enemy cargo ships have started their engines, don't let them get away!"
Horatio, wearing a white hat with a large brim, still held a telescope and shouted calmly that he did not want to miss the good opportunity to witness the results of the battle.
