Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

"Captain, we face severe challenges in this mission.

First of all, the enemy is a regular warship of the Tau Empire. The surrounding enemy ships are also joining in the encirclement and suppression of E-110. Their level and number are unknown.

Secondly, if there is no other damage, the E-110 attack ship must have opened a shadow field. When it is really necessary, it will be difficult for us to locate her specific position. We only have one chance. If the torpedo misses————” Louise pursed her lips.

"We will be exposed and hunted by enemy ships, and there will probably be no window for a second shot." Farida took up Louise's words, then stared into Louise's purple eyes with a frown and said:

"But we must carry out this mission, it is critical to this theater and to our future."

‘That’s not what I meant, Madam Military Supervisor. I certainly support the mission and believe we will succeed. Louise said quickly: "But we need to arrange a careful plan." "

Horatio sat on the command throne, his face solemn, his eyebrows furrowed, his raised right hand rubbing his forehead, thinking of countermeasures in his mind at high speed, while waiting for a reply from behind.

At this time, the Epic was approaching the latest coordinates of the E-110 attack ship at a cruising speed that was difficult to detect.

"Captain, I received a contact from Captain Otto Kretschmer of our squadron, saying that the attack ship E-99 is not far from the assembly coordinates and can come to support within the designated time.

At the same time, Captain Herbert Schultz reported that E-48 would also approach from the opposite position, and was expected to be slightly behind E-99 by half a tera hour.

In addition, Captain Ernst von Witzendorf's E-46 attack ship is also arriving, and is expected to arrive at the same time as Captain Kretschmer.

After hearing the report, Horatio finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The information provided by the attack ship E-110 was extremely fragmentary and incomplete, and he did not know how much pursuing power the enemy had.

The risks of such an unknown mission are too high, and the Epic alone cannot ensure victory. If he wants to increase the success rate, he must make full use of his identity as the commander of the attack squadron to coordinate the rescue plan of friendly forces.

The success rate of a siege by four attack ships is obviously much higher.

Not to mention anything else, when four attack ships hide in the dark void and attack simultaneously, the numerous torpedoes launched are enough to encircle and suppress E-

The Tau Empire destroyers of Assault Ship No. 110 have a drink.

Hopefully the situation is under control·—

"This is the attack ship E-110. Our ship was attacked by the enemy and is now hiding in the gas cloud. The main structure of the ship has been extensively damaged and the shadow field at the gap is unstable. Please support! Please support!"

An injured officer whose uniform was stained red by blood was sitting in front of the cipher machine, sending messages continuously with cold and numb fingers. The bridge was in a mess, the void glass surrounding the bridge was shattered, and oxygen continued to leak.

There were corpses and injured people lying on the ground in mourning everywhere. The military supervisory committee had also been killed. The iconic big-brimmed hat rolled aside with blood on it. The white cloth was soaked in blood and turned black and red, making it look like the astral realm. The styles of my military colleagues are somewhat different.

boom!

A heavy Seeker missile followed the thrown bait and hit the detached debris floating next to it.

The huge explosion shook the entire hull and caused the transmitting officer to fall to the ground. The scattered fragments shattered part of the ship structure. He got up with blood on his head and pressed the transmitting button again with trembling hands. .

Aboard the Epic.

The girl wearing shrapnel gold-rimmed glasses turned slightly and looked at Horatio: "Captain, we received a request for assistance from the E-110 attack ship.

They can't hold on any longer, and the reactor failure cannot be overloaded. However, the officers on the ship said that if the situation is irreversible, they will first destroy the code book and the new cipher machine. "

"I know." Horatio gritted his teeth uneasily, looking at the colorful, dark and gloomy void in front of him, sweeping across the gravel planets that occasionally passed around the Epic.

"Confirm the relative positions of E-48, E-46, and E-99 again."

"E-48, direction 334 of our ship, 43,000 kilometers."

"E-46, direction 31 of our ship, 31,000 kilometers."

"E-99, direction 12, twenty-eight thousand kilometers."

"Our ship will arrive in three hours."

"We tried our best and hope that the E-110 attack ship will be lucky before we arrive."

Horatio rubbed his sore temples.

This matter must be handled prudently, otherwise the "potato feast in the kitchen" that has just been unveiled is likely to come to an abrupt end.

At that time, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed.

Will the attack ships become prey and be fished out? Fish and chips’.

Three hours later.

The E-110 was floating in the gas cloud, and bursts of explosions were heard from the side, causing the ship to roll back and forth as if it had been punched and kicked.

The shadow field flickers in the shock wave of the explosion. After all, the reproduced Eldar technology is not as sophisticated as the creations of higher civilizations. Its operation becomes more and more unstable. The black gauze-like force field fluctuations surrounding the battleship continue to increase, and it seems There is always a risk of system failure.

Now, the destroyers who were encircling and suppressing this unfortunate attack did not dare to rush into the gas cloud and take action because they did not yet know the appearance and combat power of this invisible enemy.

But if the shadow field fails, the E-110 attack ship will be unable to hide, and the Tau Empire frigates that surround her will recognize her appearance.

They will also know that she only has one main gun, so they will swarm her without any scruples and tear her apart like hungry wolves.

"Report the situation!" The captain of E-110 was covered in blood. He lost an arm. The severed arm fell to the ground. Even after emergency treatment, the wound was still dripping with black blood.

The ship's doctor tried to bandage the captain's wound, but each shock cycle made it extremely difficult to bandage and treat the wound.

"Multiple hull ruptures, the bridge observation window is damaged, the armor plate has been lowered, and the entire ship is leaking 2,319 cubic meters of oxygen per minute! The life support system has been turned on to maximum power, but the continued leakage and operating equipment also allow the enemy ship to detect us The approximate location.”

"Hiss—don't worry about so much, make sure you're alive first. Have you received the signal from the 1st Attack Squadron?"

"No, Captain! We don't know...:

The captain gasped and fell silent.

After a while, he raised his pale face and shouted to the communications officer: "Hold on for half a Terra! When the time is up, destroy the cipher machine and code book immediately!"

Suddenly, a communication transmission signal with electromagnetic noise came from the communication channel.

This noisy sound originated from the resistance of the machine soul to this intrusion signal, but the external signal still hacked in arbitrarily.

"You have no way to escape, you haters. If you surrender now, we promise to let you live.

We are different from that cruel empire. In the name of the Greater Good, if we hand over our weapons and give up resistance, your safety will be guaranteed and you will be well treated during your capture.

In the future, if your empire agrees to exchange prisoners of war with us, you may also be released.

Alternatively, we also welcome you to adopt the belief in the Greater Good. You are not the first human being to make this choice. "

"Captain——" the communications officer looked at the seriously injured captain: "It's the enemy's persuasion to surrender——"

The captain's pupils trembled.

"No - we swore - we would never surrender." He instinctively looked towards where the Military Supervisor was, but he only saw a large-brimmed Military Supervisor's hat that fell to the ground and a miserable corpse. .

The captain's voice stopped, and then he swallowed,

"If we hold on for another half Terra, if no friendly forces arrive after destroying the key equipment, let's wait until then."
