Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 225 Reunion—The End of Hydera

"The fleet awaits your orders!"

"Please give the order!"

The voices of the adjutants and guards seemed to be blocked by a thick barrier, echoing in Hydera's brain with suspicious noise.

Roars and tremors erupted from the Tyrant, and the battleship's void shield revealed a specific eggshell shape from the impact.

And more firepower from enemy ships from both directions continues to be tilted towards it, and the index of the shield generator is visibly reduced.

The Mechanicus-Priests have tried their best to maintain its performance, but with little success.

Alarms to the bridge were sent in an endless stream like snowflakes, but Hydra's brain was still down, and it was unable to respond for a long time.

"grown ups!"

The guard approached Hydera and tried to remind the other party, but was immediately grabbed and thrown out by the latter subconsciously.

But fortunately, his risky transgression was not disappointed.

Hydera, who finally got rid of the huge failure and self-doubt, raised her head and looked like a lone wolf at the end of her life, scanning the surroundings and the officers in the fleet communication channel with dangerous and dark eyes.

It's a pity to leave, but after all, the situation is over.

Hydera thought this, and then looked at the captains of the remaining three Hellfire-class cruisers with a scrutinizing gaze.

The latter was currently pouring ineffective firepower on the King of Raptors in vain. The opponent's shield generator was ten times that of ordinary battleships.

Whether it was a light spear or a macro cannon, the shields that were exposed to specific shapes by the impact ignored the impact and shrapnel of the flames and explosions, remaining motionless like the breeze blowing on their faces.

The seven cruise ships behind the Raptor also began to expand to the wings. Although the absolute encirclement was not completed, the firepower on its sides had entered a golden angle.

The smoke and dust from the explosion fragments brought by the macro cannon hit the Chaos Fleet, exploding densely like raindrops.

Amidst the hum of concentrated light spear fire, the heavy patrols on both sides of the fleet were caught in the struggle of self-preservation and had no time to care about anything else.

The collapse of the fleet seemed inevitable. Hydra let out a long sigh, and then made a secret gesture to the guards behind her.

The guard who received the signal suddenly shrank his pupils, and then quietly inserted a secret message into the fleet-wide broadcast.

On the bridges of other warships in the fleet, several chaotic internal assassinations and power seizures suddenly broke out in the next second.

Adjutants, guards, mortal attendants and even individual recruits of the Night Lord who have been transformed in the past hundred years all woke up from deep self-hypnosis after their brains received this message:

"Supreme Hydra!"

These "Dandelions" who had been infiltrated by the Alphas after self-hypnosis and had been lurking for hundreds of years suddenly rose up, shouting the name of their legion, and killed the original fleet officers one by one with swords and guns.

After taking over the command of the battleship, these people, with a suicidal mentality of dying together with the enemy, launched a charge against the encircling enemy ships to buy time for Hydra's flagship to escape.

"Want to run?"

Balthasar on the King of Raptors and Vice Admiral Joseph of the Northern Fleet both sensed each other's intentions immediately.

The two looked at each other in the newly established communication channel and sensed each other's intentions.

Balthasar immediately ordered:

"Hammer of Order, Shield of Order accelerate immediately, intercept the enemy's flagship and maneuver in the direction of Orps!"

Are there any reinforcements in the direction of Lyak?

Before I had time to think about this idea, Lieutenant General Joseph's order was immediately issued:

"Wrath of Justice, the Endeavor is out of sequence! Launch an interception towards the Hazy Zone!"

A large net composed of four large cruisers, including two strike cruisers with firepower exceeding normal standards, immediately began to insert from the edge of the battlefield.

The Tyrant in the center of the battlefield had just adjusted its posture and plunged into the depths of Leyak with its back to the big net.

"Hey! Good going!"

Thinking that Calvin's ship was returning from the direction of Malus, Balthasar stood up from the anti-gravity seat excitedly.

He has lost patience with the battle in front of him and is determined to inflict the most complete destruction on these stubborn warships!

"Concentrate your firepower! Penetrate their engines! We must end this war as soon as possible!"

Under Joseph's thoughtful gaze, the four large cruisers clung to the Chaos flagship and sailed towards Lyak.

The remaining 14 warships launched a fierce offensive against the 11 chaos warships that had lost their command system and were fighting independently!

As the central protrusion of the fleet, the King of Raptors takes the lead in attacking enemy ships within range.

Compared with battleships, interstellar fortresses have extremely obvious mobility disadvantages; but on the contrary, the firepower of fortresses far exceeds the specifications of ordinary battleships:

The light spear arrays on the King of Raptor Star Fortress were all activated again, and the same number of light spear arrays were deployed in the outer space of the battleship.

Every time a strike group composed of more than a dozen light spear arrays shines, the concentrated strike composed of huge light beams is enough to overload the shield of a battleship;

When the shields of these battleships are penetrated, other Astartes battleships that have been trained for a long time will follow in the footsteps of the Raptor King, using light spears and macro cannons to penetrate the engines of the enemy ships.

And when these warships lost their ability to move and completely became lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield, a scene that shocked both the Northern Fleet led by Joseph and the fleeing Hydera appeared:

After the battleship was destroyed by a wave of macro guns and torpedoes, the main armor on the surface was destroyed.

The six Astartes warships, centered on the King of Raptors, began to rain down fireworks on these Chaos warships, firing hundreds of landing torpedoes at the same time!

Not a few, not dozens!

In the eyes of Joseph and Hydera, the Chaos Fleet at this moment is suffering a large-scale attack consisting of a total of more than 150 landing torpedoes!

"How many Astartes warriors are there? Even if one-third is used to transport accompanying ammunition and supplies, then the total number of people in this attack must be thousands, right?"

Looking at the landing torpedoes that swarmed toward the enemy ships like a school of fish and then plunged into the deck, Joseph wanted to ask this question to the commander of the fleet.

But at this time, Balthasar had personally led the team off the field, and his throne was now empty.

There was no one else on the other side of the screen except the mortal captain who remained silent, and Joseph had no choice but to keep his questions to himself.

Hydera, who was fleeing in the distance, saw this devastating scene and was even more heartbroken.

Unlike Joseph of the Mortal Legion, as a legion veteran who survived the Great Crusade, he knew the number of people represented by those torpedoes!

More than 17 company marks from at least four different battle groups appeared in those strike groups composed of torpedoes!

And similar marks from each company appeared in his eyes at least twice!

How come there are so many Astartes warriors!

How could Hydera Hede deserve such a standard of treatment?

Are all the Astartes Chapters in the Storm Sector doing nothing?

How could anyone be able to mobilize so many war groups to send such aid regardless of cost to a mere Orps war zone?

Huge doubts and panic filled the heart of the Alpha warband leader, but before he could think about it, the battleship's alarm system was sounded again!

"Strong subspace reaction on the left front! A large ship is about to appear!"

Before the navigator's shrill cry ended, Hydera saw in despair:

With four Imperial cruisers still chasing after him, two more strike cruisers clearly belonging to the Astartes jumped out from the jump point in front!

The strike cruiser headed by it is obviously larger. Even if Hydera takes a quick glance, he knows that the length of the ship is almost the same as his own ship!

And this silver cruiser, after leaping out of the subspace, was eager to show off the huge golden mark that had been urgently modified on its hull:

The special mark consisting of the Roman letter "I", the imperial double-headed eagle and the serrated skull made Hydera, who knew the empire well, even more puzzled.

High lord? High Lord of the Inquisition?

what is this? Are you going to conquer it yourself?

Except for the Sun Lord, when did the empire have the habit of high lords not staying in Terra, but leading troops to go out to fight?

He, Hydra, is really overestimated...

Second update, take a little rest, there will be more in the evening.
