Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

On the hit Tau transport ship, raging fire greedily devoured the precious air.

The moment the nuclear explosion burned, it vaporized all the organic matter and steel structures near the explosion point. The boiling molten iron at the edge of the explosion poured on the blue-skinned aliens. Their firm belief in the Greater Good could not stop the spread of the carbonization reaction.

The scorching deck was full of bodies of Tau Empire fire warriors and servants.

"Quick! Abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

"Ah!!!"

"Ahem! I can't breathe! Save me!"

The continuous screams of fear spread throughout the merchant-class cargo ship that was several kilometers long. The Tau soldiers wearing golden orange combat armor and on fire desperately beat the flames on their bodies.

The flames were like flowing liquid, seeping into the gaps between the nanocrystalline metals of the combat armor. The nano jumpsuits under the armor could not isolate the high temperature of thousands of degrees. The amazing heat continued to burn the inner skin and flesh underneath.

As the oxygen was consumed by the massive combustion, those lucky ones who escaped the direct killing of the torpedo attack began to feel difficulty breathing. A large amount of poisonous smoke flowed into the cabin through the ventilator, and the oxygen content in the cabin without a ventilator quickly dropped to the critical value.

The explosion came too quickly, and many people had no time to escape to the lifeboat.

The corpses wearing golden orange combat armor surrounded the burning hull and floated everywhere in the void.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

In the Epic's torpedo room, the crew used all their strength, with the help of machinery, to stuff huge torpedoes that were hundreds of meters long into the silo channel.

"Torpedo silo No. 3 is loaded!"

As the ready-to-fire light changed from red to green, the officer on the bridge also updated the information.

"Torpedo silo No. 4 is loaded!"

"Fire!" Horatio immediately gave the order to fire.

Two torpedoes were fired again, passing over the burning ships and the floating debris, and cunningly hitting the Merchant-class cargo ship that turned around and tried to escape.

The two escorting Orca-class destroyers were anxious, and they rushed directly towards the Epic without paying attention to other enemies.

At this time, E47 and E48 had just finished loading. Seeing the destroyer rushing towards the formation command ship, Horatio immediately asked the Mechanic Priest to connect the wire guide.

The torpedo connected to the wire left the silo and was manually controlled to sail towards the Orca-class destroyer that was performing a zigzag evasion and maintaining a high speed.

Boom!

The Tau destroyer approaching from the left was accurately intercepted by the Mechanic Priest with a wire-guided torpedo. The heavy torpedo blew it to pieces, and the splashing ship fragments also hit the surrounding ships, smashing some civilian ships into a mess.

Some of them hit the Epic's adamantine shell in bits and pieces, and a few rivets loosened slightly with the vibration, and one of the armor plates was slightly dented, but for the entire battleship, this damage was insignificant and could be repaired soon after the war.

The second torpedo missed the target. Although the mechanical priest of E48 immediately operated the torpedo to turn, the enemy ship was already very close to the Epic, less than 150 kilometers.

It sent out a detection wave. At such a close distance, even with the shadow field, the Epic was exposed to the radar of the Orca-class destroyer, and the general shape of the ship was outlined on the display screen.

But a scene that shocked the Tau officers and soldiers appeared.

Their equipment clearly scanned the enemy ship ahead, but they could not see the ship at all when they looked at it.

So much so that the Air Clan captain of the battleship thought that there was a mistake in the radar.

Just when the Tau Empire destroyer was hesitating.

"The macro cannon has locked!"

"Fire!"

Boom!

An adamantium shell flashed through the darkness and hit the destroyer's bridge directly, exploding a ball of dazzling golden fire.

The automatic shell hoist rumbled, and in just over a minute, the Voss-type light macro cannon with a caliber of more than 60 meters roared again.

Only then did the Tau warships, which were beaten to the ground, believe that there was really an invisible Imperial warship there.

But at this time, they had lost the command and fire control of the bridge, and did not find the specific direction of the Epic through optical sensors, so the Orca-class destroyer could only face the Epic with the wrong ship direction.

This made her pay the price of being hit in the brain of the warship by an adamantium shell, and also put the Epic in the blind spot of the two twin light railguns on the back of the ship.

Only the two ion cannons on the front fins hurriedly fired a series of blue ghostly balls towards the last approximate position of the Epic.

(The Orca-class destroyer of the Tau Empire was an early design without experience, so the twin light rail gun turrets on its back had a poor firing range.)

After firing, the Epic reduced its power to a state where the tail flame could not be seen, and left its original position at 5 void knots early.

Faced with the overwhelming ion light balls, she was only hit once on the left armored hull.

The ion ball burned a large irregular hole with a dark red edge on the armored hull, but the outer adamantine hull was originally equivalent to air gap armor.

There was only an inspection corridor inside the armor, and some supplies and repair materials were piled up. There was nothing else, and no casualties were caused.

The Epic's macro cannon hit the destroyer several times in a row, making it unstable.

The Orca-class, which had been beaten so hard, finally waited until the rail turret on the spine came out of the firing range. The four rail gun barrels gathered energy with the electromagnetic acceleration coil, shining an unsettling light.

The magnetic rail weapon is the iconic weapon used by the Tau Empire to conquer the galaxy. This powerful weapon is on the ground.

It allows ordinary soldiers of the Tau Empire to have the destructive power of plasma weapons comparable to that of Space Marines, and at the same time, in the void,

Let the battleship have a super cannon with extremely deep penetration and huge power.

If it hits, one side of the Epic's hull will definitely be pierced.

This made Horatio sweat.

"Hasn't the torpedo that missed the point been turned back?"

"E48 reports, the distance is too close and it will take a long time!"

Horatio sighed.

"Report on torpedo loading status!"

"Torpedo No. 1 is loaded!"

"Target approaching, enemy destroyer!"

"Calibrating lead time!"

"Use the wire guide! We don't have time to calibrate. Letty, this shot is yours!" Horatio said sharply with a frown.

"Please rest assured, Captain, Fufufu." The magnetic voice of the priestess sounded in the sound array through wired transmission.

"emission!"

The short-burning Helios torpedo jumped into the void at extremely fast speeds.

This is the fastest torpedo in the Epic's various torpedo reserves, and Horatio is using it to bet against the Tau Empire's railguns.

Buzz! Bang bang!

Four cannonballs accelerated to the speed of light by the magnetic rail coil were fired from the accelerating orbit. Since they could not aim accurately, the Air Caste observers could only estimate the position. The blue light of destruction passed by the Epic.

The high-energy disturbance that passed by caused fluctuations in the shadow field of the Epic, and the stealth state was no longer stable.

This space distortion fluctuation that does not conform to the physics of the universe was successfully captured by the observation gunner on the Orca-class destroyer.

"You are finished! Haters! Die with your stupidity! For the Greater Good!"

The thumb of its four broad fingers presses the launch button.

"Torpedo found on starboard!"

A cry of panic interrupted the sight lock, and the gunner immediately turned the peripheral sight device and saw a turning torpedo.

The torpedo fired from the Epic completed its right turn, dragging a long black wire and rushing towards the battling destroyer.

Everyone now knows what a critical situation the Epic is facing.

The void submarine was slapped in the face by the destroyer, which is not good news no matter how you think about it.

Some inexperienced crew members seemed a little panicked. However, at this critical moment, panic will only worsen the situation. "All crew members remain calm. We must believe in the captain and the officers. Remember what you learned during training and perform your duties seriously."

Today, the enemy will never sink us, and victory will definitely belong to the God-Emperor. "

Military Supervisor Farida used a soft but firm voice to comfort the somewhat turbulent crew members in the lower cabin area, while looking at Horatio's calm and upright figure.

Horatio and her looked at each other, then nodded, and then continued to observe the battle.

"We only have one chance! The God Emperor will definitely protect us, and we must sacrifice ourselves as sacrifices for the Golden Throne, but that is definitely not today." Louise spoke loudly, and successfully calmed down the commotion with her words of faith, and then continued He held his breath and looked at the torpedo tail flame.

"Believe in Father Ratty, and may the God-Emperor and the God of All Opportunities bless you." Horatio exhaled gently and kept observing with the telescope.

"Enemy torpedoes/missiles detected." The Orca-class destroyer's rapid-fire ion cannon immediately gave up strafing the Epic and instead aimed at the unexpectedly fired Helios torpedo.

No one one no +

As soon as the anti-ion cannon is fully powered, the triangular rotating chamber design allows it to shoot an ultra-high rate of fire of 1,200 rounds per second.

The reserve energy indicator bar dropped visibly at a dangerous speed, but the gunner no longer cared so much.

It is pouring everything into its own survival.
