Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 396 The Road to Expedition: The Burning Sea of ​​Stars

"All pilots are in position immediately, repeat, all pilots are on board immediately and in position."

Combat broadcasts echoed overhead along with piercing sirens, and the flashing red light illuminated the vast and busy deck, shining above the heads of the pilots running around. Lightning fighter lieutenant pilot Scruze rushed across the deck quickly, He rushed past the ground crew who were running around him.

The lieutenant and a group of pilots beside him rushed to the deck. After they collided with each other with their flight helmets, they rushed to their fighter planes. Scruze passed by on the chaotic deck and quickly carried the oil pipeline and ammunition from there. He quickly got between the box and the ground staff pushing the cart.

He came to his fighter plane, which was a silver fighter plane with wide, alien-shaped wings. A gorgeously dressed woman was spitting out from the nose of the plane. She was sitting on a red star, holding a large-caliber shotgun in her hand. It was as huge as the cannon hanging under the wing next to her.

Scruze quickly climbed up the climbing ladder and suddenly fell into the cockpit of the fighter plane. He sat on the seat that was sunken inward, and his fingers quickly clicked on the video screen in front of him, following the movements of the lieutenant's fingers. As he pressed buttons one by one, all the displays inside the cockpit lit up.

The lieutenant quickly reviewed the screen in front of him. Several servo skulls flew over beside him. They surrounded the lieutenant and quickly scanned the lieutenant's body with their mechanical eyes. With the green light sweeping across the lieutenant's body, several servo skulls flew over. The skulls all flew out with a roar.

The skulls flew out quickly in all directions, and the fixed locks clamping the wheels of the fighter plane under the fuselage also opened with a crashing sound. Scruze, who was sitting in the cabin, looked at the unlock icon flashing on the central screen in front of him, and quickly The flight helmet was put on the head. As the helmet fell in front of the face, countless display auxiliary mirrors quickly lit up on the inner glass.

As the holographic crosshair in the center lit up, the lieutenant lowered his head and looked at the countless screens in the cockpit in front of him. A large number of parameters also slid out on the window in the helmet. As the scrolling data all disappeared, the pilot above the lieutenant's head The cabin glass also fell down with a ticking sound.

"The mission of our squadron is to blow up the enemy warships in front of the warships. Each team will determine its own mission goals after setting off. May the Emperor bless us."

"May the Emperor bless you."

Scrooge said along with numerous voices on the helmet's comms channel, the space around him darkening as the cockpit glass fell.

The single-sided glass quickly closed the cockpit, and darkness briefly enveloped everything inside, but was quickly bathed in light as the surrounding glass became transparent again. Scruze sat in the cockpit, wearing a helmet. He turned his head around and looked around at the chaotic ground deck.

Beside the deck, a ground attendant wearing a yellow vest ran to the runway. He raised his finger and waved to Scruze. After Scruze also waved to him, the ground attendant suddenly turned sideways and squatted on the ground. He raised his arm and jerked it forward, and the holographic direction shoulders floating on the track beside him lit up.

As all the indicators on the runway quickly extended towards the end of the runway, countless beams of light flashed at the end, and the exit with flying gunfire and explosion flashes was also exposed in front of him. Scruze looked at the exit and pushed down the rudder. .

The jet engine at the end of the fighter plane he was sitting on ignited instantly, and the turbine blades opened and closed up and down, spitting out huge tongues of fire. Scruze suddenly hit the back of the seat due to the recoil, and the surrounding glass also quickly passed over both sides of the runway. Flashing lines indicate lights.

He looked at the rapidly approaching exit of the runway in front of him. He buried his helmet from the back of the chair and pressed the rudder with both hands. With a roar, the fighter jet suddenly rushed out of the runway and escaped into the gorgeous Milky Way dome outside. .

The Lightning fighter plane slid out of the flight hatch on the belly of the fighter plane. There were countless hatches around it. Countless fighter planes swarmed out of them like swarms of bees leaving their nests, spraying bright firelight and quickly turning to the side. The chaotic battlefield with flying artillery fire roared away.

Scruze was sitting in the cockpit. His pilot helmet quickly raised his head to look at the battleship that was hit and exploded above his head. Fire ripped out from his belly. The raging firelight illuminated the glass surface of the helmet. Scruze looked at it. With the battleship structure collapsing in flames above his head, he pushed down the operating rudder in his hand and quickly rushed under the exploding hull.

His fighter plane quickly flew over the disintegrated battleship and plunged into its burning bow. Scruze looked at a destroyer below that was under countless battleships that were firing fiercely at close range. The dark red battleship with the blasphemous mark was slowly passing under the astrolabe.

Scruz's eyes were fixed on him, like a vulture staring at its prey. He suddenly pressed down on the end of the nose of the aircraft, and a dazzling flame erupted from the end of the fuselage, pushing the fighter plane down from above the space disk.

He leaned on his driving seat and stared at the countless beams and intensive artillery fire ahead. They slid between the warships on both sides that were firing fiercely at each other at extremely close range, illuminating his own shining light. The entire battlefield was lit up, and Scruze was about to pass through the sea of ​​death.

He turned the rudder suddenly, and the fighter plane suddenly rolled sideways and bypassed the burning wreckage of the ship. The small silver fighter plane shot straight down from the sky, passing between the shells and light spears that were constantly fired from all around. , aiming at the Chaos Destroyer below and diving in.

The side of the battleship was hit by a salvo of fire from the Imperial Destroyer that was passing by. The battleship's side macro cannons all lit up at the same time, and the rapid fire roared towards the Chaos Destroyer sailing by. The dark red side of the battleship Countless red lights quickly lit up on its body, and a rapid explosion engulfed its entire side.

The void shield quickly disappeared after flashing, and the entire body of the battleship was exposed to the vacuum. Scruze grabbed this and rushed forward immediately. Seizing the opportunity with him was another Lightning fighter. Scruze twisted his helmet , looking at the silver fighter plane that dived down with him.

A vulture flying forward was spitting out from its nose, and the numerical code of NC-012 was painted on the nose. This made Scruze immediately recognize that he was not the pilot of his own squadron, but it didn't matter. Ties, they are both excellent pilots for the Emperor and will destroy the blasphemous ships below filled with abominations.

Scruze nodded to him, and then suddenly turned his control to pass over the head of the Imperial frigate sailing below. The side of the battleship spurted out raging tongues of fire. The flames erupted from the aerobic corridor of the battleship expanded rapidly, from The entire structural layer of the battleship was torn apart internally.

Scruze pressed the rudder with one hand, and suddenly pushed up the parallel push rod with the other hand. The jet at the end of the fighter jet quickly ignited, and it pushed Scruze to slide forward and parallel above the burning battleship. , the huge reverse thrust flame made him fly out of the back range of the battleship.

The lieutenant immediately pulled his hand back, pressed his hands together on the propeller and pushed forward fiercely. The rear side of the Lightning fighter exploded with power, and with the roar of the machine soul, it swooped down from the side of the battleship as it passed by. Under the roaring fire on the surface of the huge battleship, it looked like a small insect crawling across it.

The Lightning fighter dived down, and the frigate behind it exploded instantly. The burning flames overloaded its reactor with high temperature and exploded instantly. The raging explosion directly tore the central axis of the battleship, causing the entire giant ship to In the blink of an eye, it exploded into debris flying in the sky.

Under the flames that spread across the galaxy, Scruze and the fighter planes beside him rushed out from under the fire cloud and rushed straight towards the Chaos destroyer that was firing fiercely from the side of the ship.

The lieutenant looked at the back of the battleship. He pressed his hand on the bomb release button on the side of the operating lever. The fingertips of his black pilot gloves covered it, feeling the surface shrinking downward.

But suddenly the lieutenant was interrupted by a burst of explosions from his thoughts about bombing. He suddenly turned his head and looked to the side. His helmet reflected the explosion of a fighter plane that was swooping down. The aircraft turned into a ball of fire in flight. , the torn wing flew out at once, and passed in front of the lieutenant with rolling flames.

"What the hell?" the lieutenant said, sticking his head out and looking back, and then his eyes under his helmet widened because he saw two Chaos Khorne fighters rolling out of the fire behind him. The scarlet-painted enemy fighter plane chased after the lieutenant, and the cannon at the nose instantly fired bright fire.

Scruze suddenly raised the control stick, and the fighter plane immediately rolled to the side to avoid the roaring gunfire. Scruze suddenly hit the side of the cabin. He raised his eyes in the helmet and looked at the back side of the flight assistance interface. On the screen, he looked at the two Khorne fighter jets chasing behind him and firing a series of cannon fire at him.

"My luck today doesn't look very good." The lieutenant smiled bitterly and turned the rudder again. He rolled sideways again to avoid the gunfire behind him. At the same time, he also dodged a piece of battleship debris flying up from the front. The swift and violent The artillery fire bombarded the wreckage of the battleship, creating a fire that was mixed with the fire burning on it.

Skruz turned his head and looked at the Khorne fighter planes chasing behind him. Behind them was an entire burning galaxy, with countless warships firing at each other. The light spears penetrated the fire clouds, and then triggered even more rapid explosions.

The firelight projected down from the top of his head and shone on Scruz's face. Fortunately, the glass of his pilot's helmet had a light-reducing layer. It was not as good as the Chaos cruiser that just exploded above his head, and the Imperial cruiser that exploded beside it. The dazzling light released by the mixture would surely blind his eyes.

Scrooge turned his head, looked at the Chaos Destroyer below and shook his head with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this may be the craziest thing I have ever done, well, at least one of them."

The lieutenant said and pressed down the rudder suddenly, and the Lightning fighter jet rushed straight towards the back of the Chaos battleship. The two enemy planes behind him naturally pursued it. They chased behind the lieutenant and fired fiercely at the fighter plane in front. , Scruze quickly turned the rudder, allowing the fighter plane to quickly dodge the incoming gunfire.

The red armored surface of the battleship quickly approached the cockpit glass. Just before it was about to hit it, Scruz suddenly lifted the rudder. The fighter plane suddenly raised its nose just before it hit the armored surface, changing from a dive to a level flight. All of a sudden, it flew close to the back of the battleship.

The two Chaos fighters naturally chased after him. They also raised their noses and swooped down on the back of the battleship. Scruz's eyes looked at the two Chaos fighters on the display screen on the back of his helmet. They aimed at him and fired fiercely. , two flashing red lines came up immediately.

Scruse frowned as he looked at the incoming gunfire, and pushed the operating lever downwards. The fighter jet plunged downwards and flew into the inside of the armor between the central axis of the back of the Chaos battleship. Scruse flew into the air all of a sudden. Entering the steel rift, he quickly rushed between the buildings standing on both sides.

Behind it, the Khorne fighter jets also rushed in. They were chasing each other with scarlet flames. The cannons on the noses of the Khorne fighter jets accompanying them quickly lit up with flames, and roaring artillery fire came from the dim space behind them. , Scruz pressed the rudder sideways, and then suddenly lifted it up. The fighter jet instantly jumped upwards, rolled in the air and dodged the cannonballs fired from behind.

The fuselage of the lieutenant's fighter plane was instantly lit up by flashes of artillery fire. It was not only the barrage of fire from the Khorne fighter planes behind him, but also the intensive fire of the automatic cannons on the buildings on both sides that fired violently at the top of their heads. Between the surrounding tall buildings, rotating rapid-fire cannons fired fiercely, and in the meantime, missiles with flashing light points rose like raindrops from between the buildings.

And Scruze was flying quickly between them. His fuselage turned sideways and flew under a light spear that slowly raised its long barrel. The huge barrel rotated and aimed. In the airspace next to it, a huge beam of light shining like a star instantly lit up the entire Steel Rift Valley.

Scruz flew under the cannon barrel, and the two Khorne fighter jets behind him followed closely. Together, they passed by the shining light spear cannon, and the Khorne fighter jet below it Also changing their positions, the two fighter planes flew parallel, up and down, firing fierce barrages forward.

The incoming artillery fire almost hit Scruze. Stepping in this narrow steel rift, Scruze didn't have much room to dodge. He knew that he didn't have many chances, and the two enemy planes behind him wouldn't. Give yourself a chance to hide.

"May the Emperor bless you, it's time to do crazy things now." Scruze said and suddenly raised the nose of the plane. He flew up from the steel rift, and the two enemy planes behind him naturally rushed out and chased him. behind him.

Scruz passed between the rotating turrets on the surface of the building. He almost flew past the dense artillery fire, searching for every available gap in the grid of death. Scruz roared It flew past the dense missiles flying from below, and passed under the shells whizzing overhead.

His eyes were fixed on the two enemy planes behind him on the helmet interface. They were chasing after them, constantly changing their postures and firing violently in their own direction. The steel barrage roared past both sides of Strouz, concentrated. There were sparks on the surrounding automatic turrets and towering armored buildings.

The lieutenant looked at the light spear in front of him with its muzzle raised. Its three towering cannon barrels slowly rose up, and a row of armor baffles was exposed under the rotating base. Scruz frowned and pressed it down suddenly. The operating lever whizzed away, and he turned sideways to pass between the barrels of the two raised rapid cannons and rushed towards the end of the light spear.

Strutz pressed the trigger on the operating stick, and the cannons on both sides of the fighter jet opened fire rapidly. The rapid fire roared and hit the exposed armor baffle at the end of the spear turret, and the narrow armor layer was punched out. A narrow gap revealed flashing energy lines underneath.

Scrooge looked at the gap and rushed forward. It quickly rotated its fuselage. The long flames pulled out by the jets behind it spun out a long swirling light in the air. Lightning fighters roared from the surrounding barrage. The moment he rushed past and flew to the side of the light spear turret, Strouz pressed the red bomb release button on the side of the handle with one palm.

With a ticking sound, the armored hatch on the belly of the fighter jet quickly slid open to both sides, and a mechanical arm attached to the torpedo stretched out. The six torpedoes hanging above it ignited instantly and shot out with a roar. The warhead passed under the nose of Strouze's aircraft.

The torpedoes shot towards the crack below the light spear with a bright tail of fire. They rotated the projectile body, driving the dazzling flames ejected from the end to penetrate into the crack at the end of the light spear. The two sides of the torpedo scratched the crack The serrations on the upper and lower edges caused sparks to rub against the projectile body.

The tail fin at the end of the torpedo suddenly broke off at the mouth of the crack, but the torpedo body suddenly hit and fell into it, and the flashing red explosive part suddenly hit the energy pipe.

The explosion happened instantly. A huge explosion exploded from underneath the light spear. The bottom of the entire turret was torn apart instantly. The turret swayed around and collapsed. The towering gun barrel crashed and hit the inside of the battleship. In one fell swoop, countless automatic cannons were smashed into sliding wreckage.

The energy pipes under the light spear exploded one by one, and the rapid chain reaction resulted in an astonishing effect. The plasma flame was instantly released from under the turret, directly blowing away the entire main body of the light spear turret. It flew and hit the battleship. The surface of the ship tumbled, and behind him, blue flames surged across the entire deck surface.

The energy pipe exploded instantly, causing a wave of destruction that spread through the lower armor of the armor, affecting all the surrounding turrets in the blink of an eye. The ammunition racks of the automatic cannons, and the opened torpedo and missile launch ports were all affected. Then there was a rapid explosion.

The raging fire tore apart the entire back of the battleship from below, explosive clouds billowed between countless buildings, the armor was blown away, and the ferocious flames tearing apart the ship's hull erupted, like an exploding volcano.

The explosion that surged from below instantly rose up and engulfed the two Khorne fighters chasing after them. They were hit by the armor blown up from below. The fighters suddenly rolled over, lost their balance, and hit the deck, turning into countless pieces. A small part of a huge explosion of fire.

Scruz looked at the violent explosions rising around him. He pressed down the rudder suddenly, and the fighter jet roared forward and passed through the armor debris flying around, turret fragments and blazing fire. Scruz rushed in with amazing skills. The roaring waves of destruction roared past the steel wreckage and fiery blood.

The Lightning fighter jet rushed out from the front end of the destroyer. He flew past an automatic cannon. After it flew past, the turret was also affected by the explosion. The huge explosion directly lifted the turret. Tumbling and spinning in the gravityless vacuum of the galaxy.

Strouz turned his head and looked at the exploding destroyer behind him. Its entire body was undergoing an astonishing explosion. The other two light spears on its back also exploded in the explosion. The blazing fire tore up his body. The body, the huge hull was shattered like a disintegrating sand dune.

Its structural remains sprayed out in all directions with blazing fire, and the final reactor explosion brought it to an end. The hull exploded from the center, and the whole body was torn into countless pieces flying away, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire Milky Way night sky.

Looking at the exploding hull behind him, Strouz raised his arms in cheers and shouted loudly from under his helmet, "Oh yeah! The Emperor bless you! The admiral should send me a Terra Star now." "

Strutz shouted, his voice echoing under the glass of the cockpit. The uncontrolled Lightning fighter jet flew into the night sky with flames spraying out. It flew past a majestic golden battleship. The giant ship's The fire released by a volley of side macro cannons illuminated the huge eagle-headed statue on its bow.

The flames of the macro cannon rose up, illuminating the belly of the Lightning fighter plane sliding above. It also illuminated the center of the back of the battleship that roared past, the magnificent building behind the golden statue of an angel holding a spear, and the towering church. Countless barrages rose from the battleship around the Japanese-style building, and missiles streaked across the sky like raindrops.

In the light of the explosion, Strutz flew past the huge church glass. Below him, under the majestic church dome, under the pale light above his head, a man raised his head, and on his right The twinkling mechanical prosthetic eyes flashed with resolute red light.

"Admiral Speyer, the Gothic Fleet awaits your command."
