After a leisurely and short break, we quickly returned to the fighting mood.

"Add, report on the situation." I call our psionic correspondent.

"一qiē顺lì." Add replied as he called up a hologram in front of me, "After the defeat of the Whisperer Lords, the heretics have long since collapsed, and the crew can easily deal with them. Now the Emperor's Son has fled, leaving only a handful of World Eaters hidden from view. Reinforcements from the Melvidsov have been largely landed, and we will soon be able to search the entire ship thoroughly and completely destroy the remnants of the enemy. ”

How is this similar to the mobilization declaration from a superior officer that I often hear in the army? The problem is that after hearing this kind of declaration, we often encounter not a battle situation, but enemy reinforcements that have come out of nowhere, or logistics that have been inexplicably cut off. In short, a battle that can really be regarded as a qiēshun lì has never been experienced in my life.

There is a faint sense of foreboding......

"What's going on with Imperial Dawn?" This time it was Ah Wei who was asking.

"It's not very clear, it's a ship completely polluted by chaos, and my perception can't extend to it. It had several attempts to ignite the engine, but failed. ”

"What about us? How long will it take for our ship to restart? ”

"It's up to Daddy Leme to act. He is reoccupying the power compartments, and the engines that have been shut down will soon be back in operation. But a lot of the machinery has been completely destroyed in the battle, and it should be difficult for us to get home. ”

Ah Wei said to herself, "Now is not the time to think about going home......"

I was so focused on the holographic stereoscopic map that Eddie presented to me, I could almost imagine the general structure of the ship's interior, and I could make out what the red and green meant. Now, the red color representing the forces of chaos is slowly fading, and the scope of the green occupation is gradually expanding, and there are a few yellow spots in a small corner, presumably the reinforcements that have landed, which are considered ally forces.

"What does black mean?" I asked.

"Black is a location that my psychic sense can't observe, and there is something disturbed in the structure of the subspace, probably caused by the sacrifice of Chaos. We will wait until we have gathered our forces before we can send men to investigate. The World Eater must be hiding there. ”

If the World Eaters aren't attacking, then what are they doing? Blood sacrifice is one of the natural answers. As the main force, they can't squeeze into a narrow corridor to do this kind of ritual, right? There really aren't many of the more open locations in the dark area.

"Where is the stern superstructure, next to the bridge, where is that black place?" I named one of the most suspicious locations.

"It's the Imperial Sanctuary, which is found on most naval warships. However, the heretical redemption once rebelled, and after the rebellion, the Templar was closed, and then Yan Zòng was damaged in battle. After returning to the Empire, the old sanctuary was not rebuilt, but a prayer room was opened inside the battleship. Why, you suspect that the enemy is hiding there? There is simply a vacuum there. ”

"A vacuum is nothing to Chaos......" I shook my head, "we need to go and see, we won't waste much time anyway, will we?" ”

Add quickly marked a route on the map, "Follow this route to the old Sanctuary, but the entrance is sealed. You'll need to teleport to get in. ”

"Then you might as well put a psionic beacon and I'll teleport directly from here." The terrain inside the battleship is so complex that even if I had a map, I couldn't guarantee that I would find my way.

Add didn't answer, and I realized that it was also one of the locations he couldn't detect, and dropping a beacon without probing had the same effect as teleporting blindly. …,

If I teleport directly into a group of berserkers, then I can almost say that I am dead. The Firmament of Strength is a defensive measure against ranged attacks, which cannot stop the Berserker's charge.

"Let's walk over there, I'll open the closed door." Aviti yì said.

"Can you fight in a vacuum?" I looked her up and down suspiciously, and there was no sealed combat suit, no breathing equipment, and no vacuum combat capability. She wasn't very good at using psionic shields, and she couldn't dare to jump into a vacuum with a breathing mask like I did. If you wear a bulky spacesuit, how can you do melee combat with Berserker? And it is estimated that the casting of spells is also very limited.

Ah Wei waved her hand indifferently, "I'll talk about this question then...... Not...... What do you feel without ......"

Yes, I feel it, the violent oscillation of subspace. Although it wasn't around us, it did feel so close that it felt like it was within reach.

"Add, report!" I yelled.

Eddie didn't speak, and reported Sylvia, who had been silent for a long time, "Less than a hundred kilometers away from our ship, I found a subspace window, and there is a capital ship-level large spaceship jumping out, I don't know who I am, pay attention to the vigilant ......"

I was stunned for a moment, and it was incredible. The empire is so vast that the chances of two ships stumbling into each other in space are so low. Even on the busiest shipping lanes, it's rare for four ships to gather at once in a small airspace. A more plausible explanation is that the ship also heard the full-band distress signal from the heretical redemption. As for whether it was the Imperial forces that rushed to the rescue or another group of pirates who wanted to take advantage of the fire, it is unknown.

Sylvia hadn't finished her mind about the psionic communication route Eddie had set up when the communicator around my neck rang again.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, come to Hangar No. 1 immediately......" was the voice of Old Man Eurix. I've heard his feverish and hoarse speeches, and I can't imagine him being so anxious or even panicked.

At the same time, Ah Wei's communicator was also speaking, "Your Excellency Inquisitor, please come to Hangar No. 1 immediately, there is a ......"

But the words for help from there were not finished. With a chaotic sound of electric interference, a cruel and crazy voice changed to a communicator: "In the name of Lord Luft Huron, Lord of the Maelstrom, the Scarlet Pirates hereby announce that every Qiē ship in this star field is owned by the Crimson Pirates, and those who give up resistance will be given a chance to survive, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" ”

It's not just my communicator ringing, it's also the same voice inside Awei. I'm not the same as hers, which means it's a manifesto of full-band coverage.

Sure enough, it's the enemy! That was my first reaction.

What a big breath! That's my second thought.

When the voice of the Crimson Pirate on the communicator fell silent, there was a wheezing and panting sound, as if in a hurry to evacuate. In the exchange of psionic powers, Sylvia also narrated, "It is confirmed that the enemy ship is the Luna-class light cruiser Makenna's Yao, which originally belonged to the Imperial Navy's Mackenna Star Field Garrison, and was later captured by the Crimson Pirates during the Battle of Makena VII, and it is estimated that it will be about the size of a company on board the Chaos Space Marines, and the number of heretics who defected from the Mackenna VII pdf force is unknown......"

And here comes a company of Chaos Space Marines - not too much, it doesn't look like much? In addition, there are some infidels, but since it is a planetary defense force pdf transformation, the combat effectiveness must not be much higher.

Just as I was looking down and about to consider readjusting the deployment of troops, Ah Wei couldn't wait. She took my hand and started the teleportation.

Awei's teleportation skills seemed to be far worse than both Add and me, and it took me a long time for me to get back to normal. I knew I should have taken her to teleport. …,

We should be in Hangar No. 1 right now, which looks like a huge landing field, filled with all kinds of weapons and ammunition. The marines with compressed air jets on their backs had basically landed, and only the last few were speeding up, staggering when they entered the gravity zone inside the battleship from the space environment, but they completed the landing as they were accustomed to, and then quickly walked to the transition cabin inside the hangar, ready to meet the people inside.

Looking out through the hangar gate, a huge subspace gate had opened a little farther than the Merved Pick, and a battleship was slowly flying out of the violent and chaotic vortex of otherworldly energy.

The battleship had flown most of its length, and only the stern with its towering superstructure remained in subspace. However, it was already eager to attack, and one meteor after another, dragging a long tail of flame, flew out of its flank, and shot into three groups towards our side, the Melvidsov, and the Imperial Dawn. I pulled out my telescope to take a closer look at the meteors, and saw that they were clearly huge torpedoes, even a few points larger than the Doomsday plasma torpedo I had used not long ago - could it be the damned-class proton torpedo that Daddy Lime had mentioned?

Aren't they pirates? Why did you launch a destructive attack as soon as you came up? I was really shocked now.

However, the Crimson Pirates don't seem to be allies of the Chaos Space Marines before them, so is that a trivial piece of good news in a desperate situation?

At the same time, the subspace around me vibrated violently. I could clearly feel that a powerful mechanical sorcery force had torn through the barrier of space, teleporting a large number of soldiers and supplies to my vicinity.

I hurriedly ordered the surrounding landing crews to speed up the transportation of supplies. If an enemy teleports inside the ship, another chaotic battle ensues. But since the landing force has already been sent, why are torpedoes being fired again?

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, our ship has encountered a large number of enemy landings, and the garrison is insufficient, so I ask for support!" The communicator sounded again, and it was the voice of Captain Vain, the acting captain of the Melvid Picker.

The Emperor blesses......
