When Victor and Heimerdinger decided to inform the regimental commander as soon as possible, they first informed Tariq, who was sweeping through the Flyer, to the tactical communicator they were using.
And after Tariq clearly knew what was happening, he thought silently for a while, looked up at the non-commissioned officer next to him, and asked loudly.
"Since we need to bomb the world of Kriddick as soon as possible, in order not to expose the actions of the Fight, we must speed up the cleanup of the enemies on the Flight.
Sergeant, how many areas do we have left uncleared! ā
Beside him, a non-commissioned officer wearing the Iron Skull Medal on his shoulder armor heard this, he pressed the communicator in his ear and lowered his head to ask, and then replied in a deep voice.
"According to the reports of the other brothers and the Night's Watch brothers, and in addition to the area we occupy now, the engine room and weapons warehouse at the tail of the battleship of the Flying have not been cleared, these two places are the places where the number of heretics and Chaos Demons is largest, and they are also the last sacrificial places for the enemy to open the crack in the subspace and escape."
"Command! Tell the Night's Watch brothers in the back to mobilize armored vehicles and cooperate with us to clear these two places with heavy firepower! ā
"Yes, sir!"
So, just as the followers on the Flying began to speed up the sweeping operation, Gavin, who was far away in the defense line of the Space Fortress, received a report from Victor that the battle on his side had already begun.
Three days ago, when the tentative rebel fleet retreated, the Imperial soldiers stationed on the defense line of the space fortress breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, after only a short day of rest, the enemy could launch a full-scale attack, countless rebel warships lined up in a three-dimensional battle formation, surrounded the battlecruiser that the Chaos Lord of Tracy was riding in the center, and then the entire fleet swooped up, holding on to the Orn Space Fortress at fifteen kilometers, first using a wave of powerful torpedo attacks to crumble the void shield of the Orn Fortress, and then using the macro cannon on the top of the hull and the light spear turret at the bottom of the battleship, bombarding the Orn Space Fortress one by one.
And around the rebel battle cruiser, all the cruisers and frigates of the rebel fleet were surrounded, and the hull was used to resist the battery fire of the space fortress defense line, and at the same time, it also deterred the support fleet dominated by the Storm, so that it did not dare to approach easily, and carried out space jumping gang warfare.
So, in such a situation, the Orn Space Fortress had to fight a one-on-one battle with the rebel battle cruisers.
However, the Orn Space Fortress, a small space fortress with an unreasonable design and poor quality of manufacture, was a rival to the battlecruisers, and it could only barely reach a draw with the rebel battlecruisers with the support of outnumbered turrets.
The torpedoes fired from the Orn Fortress will not only be shot down by the huge escort group of the rebels, but also the escort group that has been launched will also be defeated, after escaping back to the fortress in embarrassment, the space outside the Orn Fortress is full of rebel bomber groups, and countless missiles and airborne torpedoes bombard the batteries of the Orn Fortress, causing a lot of losses.
And the return fire of the Orn Fortress, because most of the firepower drawn by the rebel battlecruisers, the firepower projection assigned to the rebel bomber group was inevitably weak, making those bomber groups even more rampant.
As a result, the batteries near the Orn Fortress, without the cover of the escort group and the air defense support of the Orn Fortress, had to defend themselves with weak rapid-fire guns and defensive light spears.
And despite the anti-aircraft resistance of those space batteries, the void shields of these batteries were finally destroyed on the rebel bomber group, and then the cruisers and light cruisers took advantage of the weakness to burst the batteries with concentrated heavy artillery fire when the shields were still full.
In just a few days, the Orn Fortress defense line lost half of its space batteries.
And now after Gavin got the news from Victor, he didn't know what attention the Chaos Lord had played, if his plot succeeded, and after using the human blood on the world of Kriddick to attract enough Chaos Gangs, the power of those Chaos traitors would occur on their own, and then the Chaos fleet would know about this place, cross over in subspace, and then snowball, Chaos would occupy the Orn system.
However, the Orn system belongs to the remote area of the Far Eastern Star Domain, even if the Imperial Navy wants to support it, it doesn't know that it will take the Year of the Monkey to arrive, and by that time, the Orn system and several nearby galaxies may have already fallen into the ravages of chaos.
This is not an uncommon thing in the Empire, and unfortunate similar things happen every year, and the Empire, which is entering the abyss, has empty power, but because of the distance, it cannot be gathered to support those fallen galaxies and worlds in time.
And when the conspiracy is fully revealed, the Chaos Lord who believes in Tzeentch will use this successful conspiracy to successfully curry favor with the evil god Tzeentch who is in charge of the conspiracy, and make himself a demon to become the Prince of Chaos.
When Gavin clearly learned about these conspiracies, in order to prevent the fall of Orn Fortress and then lead to the tragedy of the successful Chaos invasion, Gavin strictly ordered the Fight to prepare as soon as possible and bomb the Criddick World to prevent the Chaos invasion.
"I am the head of the Warbden Warband, Gavin, and in the name of the Emperor, the Warband will defend this line of defense at all costs, and we will not allow the Orn Fortress to fall! The Orn system will never be allowed to be ravaged by chaos, and death will be regarded as home, even today! ā
Inside the bridge of the Tempest, Gavin is sending a message to all the battleships and troops above the Space Fortress defense line through the Communications Officer, boosting morale.
"Mortal brothers, hold on! The Emperor is watching us, this is a glorious holy war, for your homeland and your family, brothers and sisters, fight side by side with me!!
I swear in the name of the Captain of the Warband that the Warband is with you at this moment! We will never retreat, we will never surrender, we will see death as home, today! ā
Just as Gavin was issuing a proclamation to boost morale, on the vast cosmic battlefield, the Storm took the lead, leading a dozen frigates, a cruiser, and two light cruisers, rushing into the battlefield from the side of the space fortress defense line.
Then, 20 kilometers away, the support fleet withstood the fire of the frigates and light cruisers of the rebel fleet, and at the same time prepared for battle according to the orders of Captain Jerome!
"Goal! The enemy's flagship - the battlecruiser, was reloaded on the right from one to eight batteries!! In addition, the battleship maintained the stragglers, and the target of the fire was the flagship of the enemy ship! Twenty minutes later, the whole fleet fired a salvo! ā
Captain Jerome stood in front of the console, his eyes fixed on the projector in front of him, and commanded the Tempest loudly, but at this time, a radar officer shouted warning.
"Captain, twelve kilometers ahead on the right, fifteen hot molten torpedoes are being fired at the Tempest, and there are still ten minutes to make contact!"
"Order the escort group parked at the airfield to intercept it, and the defensive battery on the right side pay attention to interception, and at the same time charge the main shield!"
"Yes!"
With Captain Jerome's order, the space fighters, which had first stayed in the Tempest's parking bay and were on standby, flew out of the Tempest at a rapid speed, carrying defensive missiles towards the huge molten torpedoes that were fired at the Tempest.
At this time, the escort group, under the order of the commander of the group, was divided into two parts to outflank the past, facing the hot torpedoes from the side, and then using the airborne radar to make a rough lock, all the interceptor missiles on their fighters occurred at once, and successfully exploded five hot torpedoes.
Five brilliant flames bloomed in the universe, like orange-red roses, but this rose was really dangerous, when it bloomed, the surrounding escort group of escort planes hurriedly moved away, and after a big circle, they rushed towards the hot torpedo group again under the roar of the commander of the group.
"Command! After running out of missiles, stick them all on me, destroy the molten torpedo with a machine gun, hit it with the body, and never allow these things to get close to the flagship! For the sake of the Watchmen, for the sake of Garve!! Come on!!!! ā
The roaring group commander's face at this time was bursting with green tendons, and because of his emotion, his face was red, his eyes were wide, and they were full of bloodshots.
Then, the commander of the group was the first to fulfill his order, pulled down the lever hard, the engine was turned on to full power, and the fighter rushed through the side of the hot torpedo group first.
After the fighter plane seemed to be strafing with a cannon, but found that the cannon could not be effective because the shell of the molten torpedo was too strong, he suddenly pulled up the control stick in a hurry, and the fighter stabbed down and crashed straight into the molten torpedo.
Once again, an orange-red flower blooms in the universe.
And the heroic sacrifice of the commander of the fleet successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the other escort fighter pilots, who roared angrily, learned from their commander's behavior, turned on the engine propulsion, and plunged headlong.
In this spectacular suicide attack, the number of hot torpedoes intercepted rose to nine, and a third of the escort fleet that managed to return to the Tempest remained. (To be continued.) )
