Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 244 The sudden battle—Priestley

The shock caused within the Grand Fleet due to the purge was the same as these comments about Calvin.

As the war progressed, they gradually left the focus of people's attention and gradually settled in memory.

After the aftermath of a fierce punishment dissipated, all that was left was Calvin's authority being reestablished.

After the senior officials figured something out, the cooperation between the various departments under the Grand Army became smoother.

The reserve emergency mechanism that each department submits to the headquarters command station for filing, and the redundancy reserve mechanism that has become popular among mid-level positions;

This makes the entire legion's cooperation more tacit and efficient.

The good chemical reaction is ultimately reflected in the Grand Legion's offensive, that is, the entire Legion ensures the intensity of the attack while also providing enough room for error for the large fleet ahead.

The grand fleet is on the eve of arriving at the final battle target-the Priestley system.

After at least three more retreat plans were deployed, they were sent to the hands of Admiral Juan of the fleet ahead.

Juan was also pleasantly surprised to see these densely marked signs on the star map to distinguish which of these line nodes were used to replenish supplies and which were used to replenish personnel.

Victory has not yet been calculated, but the retreat has been reached; the fleet troops and horses have not yet arrived, but the grain and fodder for rear support have been put in place.

Juan was used to fighting his enemies in a never-ending wrangling and squabbling with the rear.

When such a happy treatment came to him in the most important battle of his life, he actually became a little worried about gain and loss.

Calvin also quickened his pace at this time. The Gray Knights were adapting to the Imperial Commissar joining the battle sequence. The powerful firepower of the Psychic Titan had surprised them;

And Calvin's psychic network, which has been strengthened by the Titan-level amplification matrix, is enough to support continental-level battlefield planning.

The warships in orbit and the troops on the ground have all joined this new war system. The air-ground integrated and near-zero delay strike system is starting a tentative linkage exercise with the Imperial Commissar as the center.

The pace of the fleet also began to become closer. Under Calvin's order, the second strike group assembled and set off half a day in advance.

The Astartes fleet, with the Revenant Redeemer as its flagship, was only less than half a day behind the Grand Fleet in its journey through subspace.

This is the latest adjustment to the combat plan by the headquarters:

Considering the possible existence of the Orc Battle Moon, once the large fleet is confirmed to have no effective means of attacking such a target.

Then the second strike group will use the interstellar fortress Raptor King as a shield to launch a brutal gang-hopping war against such celestial-level combat units.

As a suppressive force against the Orc surface armored forces, the Titan Legion will also participate in this operation.

This is an attack in which naval battles and landing operations may be carried out simultaneously, and it is also the greatest force that the Orps direction can bring to bear.

The battle began in the early morning of the tenth day after the Grand Fleet left Voster;

The first strike group headed by Juan discovered the main force of the Orc fleet concentrated in the Priestley system as soon as it arrived at the outskirts of the Priestley system.

Without thinking too much, before the follow-up troops have arrived, the fleet has the obligation to support the gateway to the battlefield for the follow-up friendly forces;

Under the roar of the entire fleet headed by Admiral Huan, they shouted the name of the Emperor and charged towards the Orc fleet!

The moment the battle started, it entered the most brutal stage of fighting.

The large fleet divided its forces and opened fire on the planetary defense systems on both wings. It faced the artillery fire of large-scale orbital air defense and used light spears and torpedoes to suppress these defense nodes.

After the barriers on both wings were propped up, the main force of the fleet in the center also became entangled with the orcs coming from inside the galaxy.

Huge waves began to surge in the subspace, and the anger and blood brought by the power of war violently stirred on the subspace side of the planet like a tsunami.

Calvin, who was half a day away, also felt the turbulent wave ahead. He made a prompt decision and led the second strike group to resist the tide ahead and forcefully jump into real space.

The huge groan of the keel and the twisting of Geiger's stance resounded within the battleship, and all members of the fleet were on standby, preparing for the worst possibility.

With the Emperor's blessing, this risky leap was finally completed.

Except for the damage to the engines of two cruisers, there was no extensive damage to the remaining main body of the fleet.

The fleet jumped out from the space at the edge of the interstellar space. As soon as it appeared, it shocked both sides fighting on the battlefield.

The King of Raptors takes this sudden violence to the extreme:

Relying on its powerful position shield system and huge mass, it directly smashed the defensive orbital space station on the left side of the fleet head-on with its radical movement!

Countless fragments and figures of orcs are like sesame seeds scattered in space. In the colorful rays and low temperatures in the universe, these tiny black spots quickly fall into silence.

The follow-up strike cruiser did not waste its efforts. The dazzling nova cannon on the bow of the ship spit out the roar from the empire almost against the orbiting buildings.

A large number of Imperial fighter aircraft of various types, including Gladius, Lightning, Thunder, etc., flew out from the flank decks of battleships and cruisers;

After a short cruising formation, they launched a near-suicidal attack on the large base weapons on the planet.

The raindrop-like airdrop pods, carrying various automatic firepower base weapons, became the first wave of attacks that fell on these planets;

Before this batch of death rain landed on the surface, the Astartes, who represented the top of the Imperial armed sequence, also took the second wave of airdrop pods to forcefully land on the ground!

The Titan Legion's special transport ships also joined in, and their shields were broken after only a few minutes;

The bottom deck, which was forged with heavy adamantium, was constantly flickering under the flames of molten and plasma under the crazy shooting of the orcs on the ground.

As the strike cruisers merged into orbit, the broadside macro-cannons began to throw destructive flames to the ground.

The Space Marines who had assembled on the Great Plains began to charge towards the oncoming orcs with the huge bodies of the Titan Legion behind them deeply embedded in the surface soil!

Thick explosive bombs were fired like raindrops, pouring down on the legions representing the two races;

The ancient giant and the Titan took earth-shaking steps, roaring and spewing high temperature and flames of plasma at each other at a close distance of more than ten kilometers!

The planetary atmosphere was blackened by the smoke of the battlefield. From the perspective of the entire battlefield, the tiny Space Marines, as small as sesame seeds, were colliding with the equally tiny Orcs, forming thin lines representing the battle at strategic points.

There were few orbital weapons left on the ground, but the remaining ones were still roaring towards the sky.

And at the end of the dark clouds in the sky, there were lasers as thick as the waist of the Titan, falling like a natural disaster!
