Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The golden eagle head decoration slowly passed by under the rays of the sun, and the sun's rays shone brightly under its golden beak and feathers. The huge star eagle sculpture was huge, and its size was enough to rival the A large number of civilian transport ships, but even so they still look so small compared to the giant ship it decorates.

The golden eagle head decoration was engraved and inlaid on the bow of the majestic starship. It was like an astral eagle that spread its wings and soared, extending its head to the sky, but its body was made up of tall eagles. Layers of armor, towering buildings shining with countless lights and the cathedral on the back, the huge multicolored glass windows shining endlessly under the starlight.

Its wings are composed of long tongues of fire ejected from the heavy propellers at the end of the battleship, as well as the magnificent cannons extending from both sides of its body. This astral raptor is slowly emerging from the star port. The outer ring passed by, its huge body blocking the sun's rays, casting a huge shadow onto the bridge of the Infinite Frontier.

Captain Cole was standing on the high platform inside the bridge, looking at the huge ship passing by. Its size that covered the sky completely dimmed the bridge for a moment. Cole looked up and looked at the huge ship coming from the Infinite Frontier. A huge ship rumbled past the window, and its plasma thrusters bombarded the Infinite Frontier's hull with huge airflow, causing the whole place to tremble.

"What kind of ship is that? Captain." Loken said and walked up from behind the captain. The tall giant stood next to Cole and looked up at the giant ship above his head with him. The pride of the emperor was slowly moving. As it passed, it slid sideways through the starry sky. The magnificent cannons were aimed at the bridge, sliding past one by one like a formation in a military parade.

"Gothic-class cruiser, if I remember correctly, her name is the Authority of Truth, and the captain is Scott Harker." Cole looked up at the battleships sliding past the window, his eyes reflecting the huge battleships passing by like mirrors. , the shadow of the giant ship slipped past the faces of Cole and Loken, and the countless flashing lights on its body dimly illuminated their faces.

"Are there any big differences between the Empire's warships now and those during the Great Crusade? Company Commander, can you still recognize them?" Cole said, looking out the window at the light spear turrets that were passing by under the reflection of the sun. The triple-mounted light The barrel of the giant cannon reflected the outline of light, and the muzzle of the long light spear seemed to be coated with a layer of gold sand.

Loken looked at the giant ship in front of him. He looked at the ship with his arms folded, "I can only recognize it from the sky eagle decoration. You know, our ship at that time did not have a cathedral on its back, and that A bunch of useless towers and attached church halls that serve no purpose other than getting in the way during the battle and are a waste of resources.”

"To be honest, the first time I saw your ship, the Infinite Frontier, after I woke up, I thought it was a flying cathedral, a flying cathedral equipped with a bunch of cannons and light spears."

Loken smiled and said that he was joking. Cole knew that the captain couldn't help but laugh. He looked out the window at the end of the battleship with his hands behind his back, and a cathedral carried on its back.

"Today's subspace is very different from what you used to have. Captain Loken, back then you were just walking through an ordinary tunnel through subspace. But now, that tunnel is full of all kinds of terrifying things. Things, evil gods and their minions are hiding in it, hiding behind every storm cloud and lightning. The arcs of electricity that keep sliding past the outside of the battleship are like the eyes of those terrible things, hitting the shield of Geller's stance. The crackling sounds were like their voices delivering those evil sermons."

Captain Cole looked at a statue on the battleship, which was a statue of an archangel standing in front of the church holding a holy sword. He was wearing a gray robe, and his face was covered by a hood, but his huge The wings spread out from behind him, and the holy sword in his hand seemed to be guarding the church and battleship behind him.

"Those things, the cathedrals and halls and corridors filled with statues, banners and shrines to the Emperor, are meant to help us cross the psychic barriers of today's chaotic warp. As long as they exist, when the crew looks up and sees those magnificent The statues and murals in their hearts can be protected by the Emperor, regain and strengthen their loyalty, and let the spiritual barriers help them resist the small sounds in the warp, the bewitching and corrupting sounds of the evil god. "

"It's strange to say that even the mere existence of the Emperor's shrine and those churches can make people feel peaceful. Looking at the Emperor's face and his symbols, the corrupt sounds of those evil gods will disappear from the mind, as if Being driven out, driven out by the Emperor's light, maybe that's the Emperor's divinity."

"Divinity?" Loken stood next to Cole. He heard the word, divinity. Loken thought about the meaning of that word, and his expression could not help but frown slightly.

Cole noticed something strange about Loken. He looked at the company commander with a slightly different look, "Is there any problem? Company commander."

"No, it's nothing. It's just the word divinity. I once heard Qi Le mention it. I didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, that's all."

Loken said and took a look at the Emperor's shrine in the bridge. The golden shrine was embedded in the towering wall, in which sat the majestic Lord of Humanity. The God-Emperor sat on the throne and stared at the bridge. of everyone.

"The Emperor is a god. It's that simple. He is a god so he should have divinity. At least that's how the state religion explains it. You don't believe what they say, right? Company Commander, you don't believe that the Emperor is a god." Cole looked around him. Loken asked. The latter looked down at the captain and then fell silent for a while. He looked up at the shrine again.

"I don't know, Captain. The education I received in the past told me that there are no gods, demons, and magic in the universe. Everything can be explained by reason and science. We call that idea Imperial Truth, although I guess not many people in the current empire remember it, no, no one remembers it anymore, except for me and the marshal, and a few old guys.”

Cole listened to Loken's words, and then looked out the window at the battleship that had almost passed by. Its plasma tail flame illuminated Cole's face, and the orange-red flames illuminated the outline of the captain's face. This made Cole From the side, the captain looks like a statue crafted by skilled craftsmen.

Cole looked at the burning flames and the scarlet glow behind them. Under the illumination of the battleship's flames, those stars seemed like the remains of tiny chemical elements spit out from the jets. "But there are indeed gods in this universe, Captain. Many things in subspace and spiritual energy cannot be explained by science, and those demons that cannot be explained by human reason do exist. "

"I know, Captain, I think maybe I still have a lot to learn and relearn. I've been asleep for too long. Maybe a lot of things have changed, but one thing remains the same. We are facing a war. , at least I still know how to fight."

Loken became more energetic as he spoke. The vicissitudes left by thousands of years on his seemingly young face disappeared. The company commander raised his head and his face reappeared with fighting spirit, blood and passion, just like a young warrior. He looked like he was supposed to be.

"Abaddon is approaching. Are we ready? I know my brother. He may be arrogant and paranoid, but he also understands war. After all, he is a member of the Council of Four Kings. We must be fully prepared. OK."

"You're right, company commander, come on, the meeting time is up, let's hear what's wrong with our preparations." Cole said, turning around and patting Loken's leg armor before walking to the holographic device behind him. He walked to the flat table and clicked briskly on it a few times, and soon a flashing Imperial Navy symbol appeared in front of him.

The rotating navy logo quickly decomposed into several small logos that existed alone around the round table. There was also an i letter logo among the rotating navy logos. Cole looked at the other signs he had seen. The signs of the Inquisition all have different letter symbols.

But before Cole could figure it out, he got the answer. Those signs quickly shattered and dissipated into large pieces of light particles. As those light particles rose, they quickly converged on the holographic image. A human silhouette, their appearance quickly formed and clearly visible in a short period of time.

Cole now knew who the i-letter logo represented. Loken behind him also walked over. He stood behind Cole and looked at the Brother Astartes who appeared on the holographic image, the warrior. Wearing an exorcist terminator power armor that is larger than ordinary power armor, with gray-white robes hanging on it.

The gray Astartes immediately noticed Loken's presence. Although he may not have recognized Loken's armor and symbol, he still nodded to Loken out of respect for his battle brothers, and Loken was also aware of it. This move was followed by a nod in return.

Cole looked at the soldier and quickly recognized his identity, but before Cole could say anything, the meeting on the holographic image began, and holographic images of navy captains appeared around the round table. All around, in the center, at the front surrounded by all the images of the captains, a man wearing a fine admiral's uniform flashed.

The admiral nodded to the captains around him, and all the captains immediately stood at attention and saluted him. Cole was no exception. Although he was actually serving in the Inquisition, in terms of the ultimate ownership of the unit, he He is also always a captain seconded to the Inquisition from the Imperial Navy. He is always a member of the Imperial Navy, so he should also salute the Lord Admiral of the Imperial Navy.

Admiral Boehner saluted and responded to the captains around him. He looked at the captains around him and nodded, "Hello captains, I am very happy to have a meeting with you before the war. In this meeting we will Determine some strategic principles and orders.”

The captains nodded around the holographic platform. Bona also nodded slightly and looked at Cole with a smile. He slightly raised a hand to gesture to Cole in front of him. The arm was directly imaged from the holographic image. The edges were raised, but they quickly took shape and became clear under the operation of efficient imaging particles.

Boehner gestured to Cole, "But before the meeting begins, please allow me to introduce to you our new member, Captain Cole Macari. He will attend the meeting on behalf of the marshal and command a fleet. He is from The eternal holy place of our navy, the eldest son of the governor of the home world of Macarius Sun Lord, he is also an excellent captain. I have heard about your deeds for a long time, Captain Cole. "

"It's my honor, sir. I'm also honored to know and fight alongside all the captains." Cole stood solemnly and nodded to Bona and the surrounding captains. The captains also politely greeted Cole. Everyone nodded in response.

"The Astartes behind you is" Bona said and looked at the tall Loken standing behind Cole. The latter immediately nodded to Admiral Bona and lowered his iron fist on his chest.

"Captain Garvill Loken, he is attending the meeting on behalf of the Astartes under the Marshal. Captains Bell and Eisenstein have already set off to the ground of Terra to help and defend Marshal Vito. Captain Loken will Represent them and provide us with advice and assistance.”

Bona nodded. He looked at Loken and nodded with respect. "My honor, Captain Loken, I hope you can provide us with valuable help."

"I will do my best, Admiral." Loken said and walked to Cole. Like one of the members attending the meeting, he stood in a position left between the holographic images, as if he had entered himself. seats like that.

Bona looked at Loken who was seated and nodded, then looked at the captains around him, "Okay, the war is urgent, let's put aside the greetings for a while, Master Francis, what are you and the Gray Knights doing on the moon? How are the defense preparations going?"

"Everything goes well, General. With the assistance of the Lunar Defense Force, my brothers and I have restarted and controlled all the defense arrays and bunker structures in the star. We have made all preparations to face those traitors. Gray The knights vow to make enough traitors there to pay for their treachery."

Francis, the Grand Master of the Gray Knights wearing huge power armor, clenched his fists and said. He looked around at the captains. They all nodded to the Grand Master of the Gray Knights to express recognition and respect. Bona naturally did the same. The admiral looked at The great mentor nodded.

"Are your forces sufficient? Master, do you need more support?"

"My troops are indeed insufficient. All the battle brothers combined are less than two hundred, and the defense force is only about a hundred thousand. But I know that Terra needs more troops and firepower equipment, so leave those things to the throne world, leave them to Used to defend the Emperor himself, we will rely on these forces to hold out as long as possible and hold off the enemy."

Francis said and looked at Bona. There was not much left of the master's gray hair. His old face meant that he had been through hundreds of battles and had killed enemies of Chaos and demons in the name of the Emperor for countless years. He is an excellent war master, as you will know by looking at him, and no one can doubt that he will make Abaddon and his traitorous army pay a heavy price.

"My brothers and I will use orbital weapons on the moon to block Chaos' flanking attacks as much as possible. The moon has long been fortressed. They cannot destroy our positions and weapons through simple orbital bombing, so they will be Forced to send ground troops to the moon to fight us on its pitted surface.”

Francis said firmly, his words full of loyal courage, "Using the moon's complex permanent fortresses, as well as the complex underground tunnels and positions, the Gray Knights will make as many traitors as possible pay the price of blood on the moon, With their deaths dedicated to the Emperor, we will hold back as many of the enemy's ground forces as possible."

"But once we turn to underground operations, we will not be able to prevent the Chaos fleet from breaking into orbit. The navy must rely on its own fleet for defense."

"Indeed, Master, I think we have already done it, right?" Bona said and looked at the captains around him. They all nodded in response.

"Now that all fleets are ready for combat, I will issue combat orders." Before Bona finished speaking, the captains, including Cole, stood straight and stood at the edge of the holographic image.

Bona looked at them and raised his head slightly, "We have limited forces, so we need to gather as many fleets as possible. I ordered the main fleet to be concentrated on the East Asia plate, relying on the orbital defense array to defend the sky above the palace, and the rest of the areas were transferred To the orbital defense forces of every province of Terra, may the Emperor."

"No, Admiral Bona, you must not abandon the entire orbit and air defense position of Terra." Loken suddenly interrupted Bona, and the admiral looked at Loken in surprise.

"Why? Company Commander, our forces are limited and we cannot defend the entire Terra. Moreover, Abaddon will directly attack Terra, right? Before the Imperial reinforcements break through his blockade and arrive."

"No, he won't. Abaddon will follow the legion's habit of seizing the entire orbit and defending the flanks before landing. He will also suppress the enemy forces on the entire planet. That is the habit set by Horus. The battle of the expedition fleet Shuai will not lose any battle, no matter how small it is, so the legion will directly use its absolute superiority in strength and firepower to attack the world, annihilating all enemies and attacking important targets. "

Loken said as he glanced at Terra outside the window. The orbital ring of the Throne World was encircling a corner of the window. The huge steel ring shone with the cold light of steel under the sun.

"Horus will not compromise, show weakness, or refuse any challenge. He will completely crush all resistance on the planet before he can declare victory in the war. That's why he stubbornly chooses to stay on Istvan." Come down and fight to the end with the loyalists, instead of immediately giving up and attacking Terra directly as the loyalists who have no space capabilities and are unable to leave Istvan or send a warning message."

Bona looked at Loken. He glanced at the captains around him. Everyone nodded silently to express their approval. After getting everyone's response, Bona looked back at Loken and nodded slightly, "Please continue. Company Commander."

Loken also nodded to Bona and continued, "Since Abaddon wants to prove that he is stronger than Horus, he has always been like this. During the expedition, he was keen and even paranoid to prove that he was better than everyone else. Strong, so he will not lose any battles and refuse any challenges, even if he ignores those obviously inductive strategic provocations that can achieve the goal of war more quickly, he will not let his honor be insulted, even if he pays To win the challenge and win all the honors for yourself without having to pay the price, Horus often made this mistake, and he and his sons were similar in this regard. "

Loken smiled bitterly. He was also a member of the Sons of Horus, so saying this made him feel like he was criticizing himself, but this was what made Loken better than other Sons of Horus. He didn't mind. Being criticized and denied, especially by oneself.

He carefully analyzes every battle and critically studies his choices and mistakes in order to do better in new battles in the future, complete the mission while saving the lives of his men, so he can become One of the youngest Captains of all the Legions, even all the Legions Astartes, and even the Council of the Four Kings, the Primarch's most trusted member of the Staff ever.

"And now, the Marshal has issued a challenge to Abaddon, and his swearing and trolling skills are as superb as ever. I guess Abaddon was probably missed by the precise attack. He is furious, so he will accept the Marshal's challenge, and To achieve a complete victory, he would launch an attack across Terra and disperse his forces to defeat the forces deployed by the Marshal in various war zones. In this way, he would prove to the Marshal that he was stronger. It was strategically stupid, but this is Horu. The character of Si’s sons.”

Loken looked around at the captains and said patiently, and they were all listening to Loken's words, "So, we can't concentrate our forces in the palace. This will only allow Abaddon to eliminate us at once. I suggest Distribute the fleet to locations that are farther away but have solid ground and orbital defense firepower, and rely on solid defense lines to hold the position.”

"In this way, Abaddon will disperse his superior forces to attack these points. His superior forces that could have had an absolute crushing effect will be dispersed, diluted, and weakened after being dispersed. The invading army must face those solid defense lines. They won’t be able to win points quickly and will be stuck in a protracted battle, which will buy us more time.”

Loken's suggestion immediately triggered another discussion. The captains started talking among themselves. Bona frowned and held his chin and thought about it for a while. After some contemplation, he looked up at Loken, " Will no one remind Abaddon of such an obvious military mistake? If he follows the advice and withdraws his troops, we will not be able to intercept and delay their fleet. Instead, we will be trapped in various places and unable to rush to the palace."

Loken laughed, he sighed helplessly and shook his head, "No, no, such a suggestion would be considered by Abaddon as a sneak attack and humiliating him, and he would be suspected of not being as powerful as the marshal. Abaddon would reject it decisively, and even Kill the proposer, so don't worry."

Bona nodded with satisfaction. He and all the captains were quite satisfied. The captains looked around and discussed with each other, except for one person in the enthusiastic atmosphere, the Grand Master of the Gray Knights, Francis.

The Grand Master of the Gray Knights frowned and looked at Loken. He looked at the company commander suspiciously, "You sound like you know Abaddon very well, too well. Brother, I want to ask you how you know him so well."

Loken was stunned for a moment. He turned his head slightly and looked at Cole beside him. Believe me, this is not the time to reveal Loken's identity. Think about it, Abaddon is leading the Black Legion to fight against Terra. Then Loken introduced himself. One of the Sons of Horus? Are we brothers to those traitors from the Rebel Legion?

Cole nodded slightly to Loken after a moment of silence. He told Loken to lie with his eyes. He must lie now. Although lies are a shameful thing for Astartes, Loken also understands that he must now Accept this shame, he must do it for the Emperor and Terra.

Loken raised his head, looked at Francis and nodded seriously, "I have fought against Abaddon and his Black Legion many times. My war team was almost destroyed in his hands, and many of my brothers died. So I have been studying Abaddon, his history, tactics and habits, and even his personality, in the hope of defeating him and taking revenge.”

Francis frowned. He looked at Loken quite suspiciously. He didn't know if he was an occupational disease prisoner who fought against traitors and Chaos as a Gray Knight. "What you said sounds very suspicious, Captain."

"I believe this is not the time to discuss this issue, Master Francis, please allow me to offend, we have a battle to fight now and it is not the time to doubt each other."

Cole suddenly stepped forward at this moment. He faced the Grand Master without fear and said. Francis also looked at the young captain next to Loken. Francis glanced at the captains around him who were also looking at him with his peripheral vision. Looking back at Cole, he nodded.

"You are right, Captain, please forgive my suspicion, brother." Francis said and nodded to Loken to apologize, and the latter nodded to him naturally. He even smiled slightly, "No need to mind, brother. I understand, but now please give the order to Admiral Boehner, we still have a battle to fight."

Bona nodded to the two Astartes, then put his hands behind his back and looked at the captains on both sides, and all of them immediately stood upright and faced the admiral, waiting for orders.

"Captain Leoniko, you and your Third Fleet are responsible for defending the skies above the Europa Province. The Paris Hive in Gaul and the Berlin Hive in Greater Germany will provide you with orbital fire cover. You must surround them. Stay in orbit and delay long enough to prevent Chaos from directly attacking the Urals and Caucasus Industrial Zone."

"As you command, Admiral!"

"Captain Sphinx." Bona said and looked at the other captain beside him. The commander who was several captains away on the left of the admiral took a step forward. He walked out of the queue and tried to look at Bona.

"Your Eighth Fleet defends the African continental plate. Your key task is to protect the orbital elevator in Cairo at all costs. It is the lifeline for the entire Terra to receive Mars or any other fleet supplies that may arrive at any time. This must be done at all costs. Keep it, understand?"

"Whatever the cost, understand Admiral! I will fight to the last ship!"

"Jimmy." "Yes, Admiral."

Another captain next to Sphinx walked out of the queue. Bona looked at him and raised his head slightly, "I will give you command of the Ninth and Thirteenth Fleets. You will be responsible for the defense of the Pan-American Region and keep the The central point of the ship production line and the planet's orbital subway line there prevents Chaos rebels from attacking the lower levels of the palace through the underground intercontinental tunnels."

"Yes, Admiral."

"Captain Huntington, your fleet is responsible for the giant hive cities and wastelands in the ocean region. Concentrate the fleet to defend the urban areas of the Australian and New Zealand continents, contact the army to cooperate with the residents there, and abandon too many undefendable areas and wastelands. , you respond to the main fleet that defends the Asian continent and the imperial palace, and cooperate to fight. "

"Yes!" Captain Huntington said and saluted Bona in response. The admiral nodded slightly and looked at Cole. "Captain Cole, at the order and suggestion of the marshal, you are responsible for the main fleet above the palace. Command, work with me to protect the palace and throne."

"My pleasure, sir." Cole stood at attention and saluted Boehner in response, while the latter nodded slightly to Cole and looked around at the attendees.

"Does everyone know their mission?" "Understood! Admiral!"

The captains responded in unison. Together with the two Astartes, they looked at the admiral and responded neatly and loudly. Bona nodded to everyone with satisfaction and raised his arms to salute them, "Then I wish you all good luck. , May the Emperor bless you, and we will see you in the end!”

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Emperor!"

The captains stood at attention and shouted loudly. Following the inspiring shouts, everyone's images flickered and disappeared. Captain Cole watched the images of every captain in front of him disappear, and the Grand Master of the Gray Knights watched. He frowned slightly at Loken. He was still suspicious of something, but when Loken looked at him, he suddenly disappeared without saying anything.

Cole looked at the disappearing master and sighed, and Bona also watched Francis put his hands behind his back after being silent for a moment, "Understand, he is a Gray Knight, you know them, they are suspicious of everyone like all inquisitors. "

"I know, Admiral, Captain Loken and I can understand." Cole looked at Bona who had not disappeared in the end, and the Admiral nodded silently in response. He turned his head and looked behind Cole. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, looking at the Terra star suspended in the starry sky outside, the Throne World, which was about to become a battlefield, sighed helplessly.

"Get on your ship and get out of the harbor as quickly as possible to the orbit above the palace. War is coming. I can smell the bloody smell of the Scarlet Road."

"Me too, Admiral, I will come as soon as possible to join you, for the sake of the Emperor."

"For the Emperor, good luck Captain Cole." Bona said and looked at Loken, "All of you."

The admiral's image disappeared, and as he left, the entire holographic platform dimmed. Loken let out a long sigh and looked at Cole, who turned and walked towards the armrest of the bridge, "Thank you, Captain Cole. , thank you for covering me.”

"It's nothing Loken. We are friends, aren't we? Friends should be like this, right?" Cole walked to the armrest and leaned on it with one hand. He turned sideways and looked at Loken with a smile. Will Loken also smiled and nodded, turned around, walked to Cole and stretched out a hand.

"I believe that today's friends of the empire also shake hands, right?"

Cole looked at the big hand and smiled silently before shaking it, although the way he shook hands with Loken was very strange, like an adult shaking hands with a baby, you know, the size of a mortal and an Astartes. There are differences, but this does not hinder the friendship between the two. Loken gently held Captain Cole's arm, and both of them looked at each other and smiled.

But suddenly the alarm blared throughout the bridge. The piercing sirens and scarlet lights interrupted the two people's handshake. Loken and Cole immediately let go of each other's hands. The captain put his hands on the armrests and looked around. With red police lights flashing on the walls, the entire bridge was in chaos, with operators running around rushing back to their posts amidst the roars of their respective officers on duty.

"Anna! What's going on?!" Cole yelled and looked down. He was looking for Anna in the chaotic bridge, and the first mate with short red hair soon emerged from a corner of the crowd. , he rushed through the running crew members, jumped over a control terminal, and landed behind Captain Bird.

Anna leaned on the chair behind Captain Bird. She looked at the terminal screen in front of her that was constantly changing under the control of Captain Bird. "A fleet has appeared at the orbital boundary of Terra and is approaching rapidly."

"Have you confirmed your identity?" Cole asked, leaning on the armrest above Anna's head. Anna below him shook her fiery red hair. "The inquiry message has been sent, but the other party did not respond, but it is certain. They are armed."

"Power on all weapons on the ship! Activate the battle alarm immediately! Hurry!" Cole raised his head and shouted in the direction of the fire control terminal on one side. The operator sitting in front of the weapons terminal immediately sounded the battle alarm, and the siren echoed throughout the infinity. In every corner of the Frontier, all weapon decks began to activate as sirens reverberated.

Cole watched the weapon arrays on the screen quickly turn green, and all the locks were quickly unlocked under the control of the operators. As those icons turned green, all the weapons on the Infinite Frontier were activated. , the macro cannon pushed out the gun mantlet, the light spear raised its muzzle from the turret and pointed at the starry sky, and all the automatic cannons also rotated and pointed densely in the direction of countless propeller flames flashing in the distance.

Cole stood in the bridge and looked at the flickering firelight in the distance. The densely packed battleship advancing firelight flickered in the dark night sky like a new constellation of stars. Below Cole, the huge nova cannon also rotated. Coming over, the black muzzle suddenly lit up with a blue light as bright as the sun.

"Report Captain! The enemy ship is about to enter the shooting range!" the fire control officer yelled from the side of the bridge. He quickly checked the terminal screens in front of him. The team members around him were also working quickly, with their fingers on The mechanical keyboard started typing rapidly, and massive computing arrays appeared on the screen like a tsunami.

"All weapons have been powered on. The surrounding orbital fleets and weapons platforms have also received our alert. They are also ready to fire, waiting for your order, Captain."

"Aim and prepare." "Wait!"

Anna suddenly shouted from below. She raised her head and looked in Cole's direction and shouted, "Captain, the other party has responded, they are."

Anna didn't need to say anything, because Cole had already seen the sign that appeared on the terminal on the left and heard the recognition echo from the other party. Cole looked at the sign and turned to look at Loken behind him, "Contact the marshal and tell him , our friends are here.”

Loken nodded and turned around and strode away. His footsteps rumbled and echoed behind Cole. Cole turned around and waved to the fire control officer aside to signal to clear the alarm, who immediately followed suit. After receiving the command, the entire weapon array turned red again and completed the lock.

Cole then walked to the flashing communication icon. He looked at all the crew members below. They all turned to look at him. The captain took a deep breath and pressed the communication button in front of him.

"This is Captain Cole, Commander of the Terra Defense Fleet, glad you are here."

"So do we, Captain, and bound by the sacred Olympus Accords, we will fight alongside you."

As the voice spoke, Cole smiled and looked at the red ocean in the starry sky. The ends of the crimson warships were flashing with countless lights. The huge ship at the front of his fleet was at the bow. Branded with a golden skull, the skull was flashing golden light under the light.

"We will unleash the wrath of the Om Messiah."
