Chapter 37: A Game Within a Bureau
One Ruler-class conventional cruiser, two Cobra-class guided missile destroyers.
The detection array has identified the model number of the other party, and other information is unknown.
"My lord, please activate the Void ......"
Traces of the Chaos Battleship were discovered, and the crew on the bridge immediately demanded that the normal operation of the battleship be restored.
"No!"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Qinghai:
"Inject all the energy of the battleship into the light spear turret, target the two destroyers, fire a salvo of the light spear at full power of the scourge of the gods, and fire directly without asking for instructions after the charge is completed."
The Scourge of the Gods, an ancient weapon that is close to a technological relic, has an extended focusing aperture and a quadernary lens array that gives it a great range, but this weapon is technically demanding, and only older oversized cruisers or battleships can meet the structural requirements for installing them.
Fu Qinghai's orders were carried out to the letter.
The plasma engine has been activated, the Void Shield array and the sub-light engine are still silent, a huge amount of surging energy has been injected into the light spear turret, and the Suzheng has an energy conversion matrix, this relic technology can maximize the redistribution of the battleship's energy and concentrate energy to do great things.
The Suzheng was not "invisible", it was still quietly moored in the dark space, but in the observation of the ship's ornith, the battleship did not exist, and the factory ships and transport ships hovering quietly in the void were like a herd of unguarded lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
The three Chaos warships swooped down in a wedge formation like hungry wolves, and only then did a factory ship and nine transports begin to turn eagerly and slowly, preparing to flee into the meteorite belt that circled the planet, looking so panicked.
This behavior seemed to stimulate the bloodthirsty nerves of the Chaos Battleship even more, Fu Qinghai saw that the two destroyers even turned off the Void Shield, concentrating all their energy on the sub-light engine, and the tail energy signal increased sharply, speeding up and chasing towards the prey.
Until the light spear strike of the Suzheng came.
“Suprise Motherfvcker!”
Fu Qinghai smiled cruelly.
The turret instantly unleashed several deadly golden laser pillars at the enemy, and the Chaos Battleship shuddered, and even the surrounding void was illuminated by the flare of the spear as the tremendous energy submerged into it and detonated with incredible power.
The spear struck the side of the ship's hull, instantly vaporizing several decks and the personnel of the facilities on them, triggering a series of explosions that eventually led to the explosion of the subspace engine, and the void created by the immaterial energy engulfed the ship.
The explosion of the subspace engine brought about an attack effect similar to that of a vortex torpedo, and the sudden appearance of the subspace vortex swallowed up most of the ship's hull, and even the people inside disappeared, leaving the mutilated hull behind.
Give the traitors a sense of "coming home".
The first destroyer is gone.
The second ship didn't end much better.
Although it was not unlucky enough to be directly hit by the subspace engine, in just a few seconds, the destroyer's hull was still rudely melted and torn apart by the light spear, the internal compartment was quickly depressurized, the air sprayed out of the cracked hull condensed into brilliant crystals, a large number of materials and personnel were thrown into space like splashed dust, and many crew members and slaves died quickly in the vacuum, and only some Space Marines could still rely on the life support system of power armor to drift in space.
The constant burst of orange flames lit up the cold, silent vast void, and there was no conductive medium in space, and everyone on the bridge felt like they were enjoying a silent fireworks display.
The tattered wreckage of the remnants of the two Cobra-class missile destroyers, captured by the gravitational pull of the planet below, is slowly falling towards the orbital dust belt around the planet.
In just one shot, two of the three Chaos warships had already turned into space junk, and it was no surprise that the destroyer's Void Shield was not enough to withstand the battleship's light spear volley, not to mention that they had turned it off.
It was only then that the ruler-class cruiser in the middle recovered from the sudden light spear strike, hurriedly increasing the power of the Void Shield, and maneuvering in a wide range to avoid the subsequent attack.
"Hmph."
Seeing the enemy's movements, Fu Qinghai sneered.
If it was a normal ambush sneak attack, Fu Qinghai should have ordered to attack the cruiser instead of the destroyer as soon as possible, and deliberately let go of this cruiser, not because it was lucky, but because Fu Qinghai wanted to seek greater results than destroying it.
"Interfere with the free fire of macro artillery and live ammunition macro artillery, fire a volley of torpedoes, calculate the amount of advance, and block the opponent's maneuver space."
Fu Qinghai gave an order.
The light spear breaks the shield and the macro cannon kills, this is a very classic combat process of the Imperial Navy, the light spear has a long cooldown, but the macro cannon can be fired relatively quickly and without stopping.
Compared to the Light Spear and the Macro Cannon, the torpedo was slow but powerful, and in defiance of the Void Shield, many warships would rather take a few rounds of a salvo of the Macro Gun and the Light Spear than a single torpedo.
By calculating the trajectory of the torpedo, the torpedo is launched in advance to the position where the enemy may sail to carry out space blockade, which is commonly known as "torpedo herding".
When your side has a firepower advantage, you can use the "torpedo herding" tactic to confine enemy ships to a certain area to prevent the enemy from escaping or maneuvering quickly.
Six groups of torpedo tubes continuously spit out torpedoes loaded with plasma warheads and quickly rushed towards the cruiser.
Torpedoes have certain guidance capabilities and a variety of guidance methods, so in the face of incoming torpedoes, small-scale maneuver evasion is not enough, and sometimes it is necessary to rely on close defense guns and rapid-fire guns similar to phalanx systems to destroy torpedoes in advance.
At this time, the light cruiser Liema, which had gone to deal with the orc fleet, also returned, and it quickly slid into the battlefield, preparing to flank the Chaos warship on both sides.
The outcome has been decided, and the other party is ready to flee.
A conventional cruiser, against a battleship and a light cruiser, no matter how you look at it, loses.
How could Fu Qinghai make him get his wish.
The high-explosive warhead of the Mars-type macro cannon constantly disappeared in the flickering light on the surface of the Void Shield, and many of them flew past the side of the battleship, and the Ruler-class cruiser was a little out of place, and the occasional sporadic counterattack organized could not become the climate, and the Suzheng had already raised the Void Shield in advance, and it was also a powerful relic technology - the Fort Master Shield Array.
Finally, after a flickering explosion of light, the cruiser's Void Shield was overloaded.
It was also until this moment that Fu Qinghai finally saw the markings on the enemy's battleship - scarlet bats and fanged skeletons.
Eighth Legion, Midnight Lord.
"Sure enough, it's these lost dogs who have been roaming the empire and refusing to enter the eye of fear."
Fu Qinghai muttered to himself.
He got up from the captain's seat and commanded in a deep voice:
"Seize this window period of Void Shield overload, and after three salvos of interference cannons, all the Space Marines ...... Jump with me! ”
"Let's meet Coetze's bat cubs."
……
At this point in time 31K, the proper term "Chaos Battleship" actually did not exist, and after the traitors had exhausted all the ancient warships that had been brought into the Eye of Fear, the Dark Mechanics mastered the casting world began to tighten their belts and design and produce various special types of warships of the Chaos faction, and they were still using the warships left over from the Legion era.
Limited by the lack of resources and the loss of technology, most of the Chaos warships are inferior to the Imperial warships, but the Chaos Warships are often accompanied by a variety of enchantments and corruption, just like the "Flying Dutchman" and "Queen Anne's Revenge" in the Pirates of the Caribbean, which are somewhat of the nature of magic warships, and their combat power cannot be measured by the indicators of conventional warships.
For example, the Vengeful Spirit, once the flagship of the commander of the 16th Legion, is full of various supernatural hauntings, and it is said that every person who dies on the Vengeful Spirit will leave behind a haunting statue.
It is a risk to seize the ship, and it is the safest choice to destroy this ruler-class cruiser directly, but Fu Qinghai knows very well: wealth is sought in danger, and it is easy to make a fortune in troubled times.
The fleet of the warband can't wait by waiting.
Without the protection of the Void Shield, the ionized deuterium atomic shells fired by the interference cannon overloaded the cruiser's power transmission system and failed, and the enemy was trapped in place, and the dense close-in defense guns and rapid-fire guns on the hull shell were all silent.
"Boom—"
There was a loud bang, fire, shards of shell armor erupted inward like a storm, the corridors were filled with fire smoke with a "snort", and when the ship's Ponder system recorded the risk of an enemy attack and the ship's hull rupture, the critical alarm sounded, and the nearby bulkheads were sealed.
With the sound of the hatch opening, Fu Qinghai led his attendant officer and stepped onto the dirty and dirty deck.
"Set up the teleportation beacon and assemble around me."
Fu Qinghai said.
As soon as the words fell, the enhanced hearing instantly captured the subtle sound of footsteps, dozens of ghost-like tall phantoms passed through the mist, the slanted blood-red eyes were illuminated, and the Midnight Lord's reaction speed was faster than expected.
"Dada...... Rumble! ”
The explosive bomb landed on the wall around them and detonated along with the grenade, and Fu Qinghai and Lin Yu had already dispersed the moment the eyepiece field of view adjusted to the thick smoke, looking for cover and shooting with guns.
A night bat warrior took the lead in revealing himself from the fog, the explosive bomb tore at his shoulder armor, tearing off the pieces, he stepped out, shortened the distance, the unsheathed power long sword cut an arc, Fu Qinghai retreated and swung his sword to resist, the sawtooth of the chainsaw sword jammed the blade of the power sword, and the arc of the cracking force field exploded.
Fu Qinghai drew his sword downward with faster speed and greater strength, causing the opponent to stumble and stab upward, and the Night Bat Warrior's head was separated.
He didn't need to dance the blade on a large scale, this blow had already cut off the Midnight Lord's head from his shoulder, Fu Qinghai grabbed the neck guard of the Blood Lake, completely ignoring the bright red liquid spewing out of the broken neck all over his hand armor and helmet, and put the corpse in front of him with one hand, as a human flesh shield, he quickly pushed forward with the meat shield, and the swarming explosive bombs smashed on the headless corpse, causing the corpse's armor to shatter and the blood mist exploded, until Fu Qinghai threw it hard at the Midnight Lord in front of him.
……
The white-scarred warriors teleported over one after another, Fu Qinghai and Lin Yu were no longer alone, but they were facing an entire cruiser and a whole Chaos War Gang.
Unlike when he jumped into the fleet of the Emperor's Son before, Fu Qinghai could fight and retreat at that time, and now if he wants to completely sweep a battleship, he has to face the endless space marines.
The Thunderhawk gunboat of the Burning Horse was long overdue.
Josda and Camille joined in the charge, the steel claw slamming into the helmet of a Night Bat Warrior, throwing him against the wall, and Camille took the time to glance at it, only to find that the Moon Wolf Warrior's power armor was as scarred and broken as his body—Old Joe needed healing.
"Don't get distracted in battle!"
A hoarse evil laugh rang in his ears.
Camille was startled, and subconsciously dodged the swinging blade, and the A-13 tracer grenade launcher on his left arm spewed out a dazzling ball of light, causing the enemy to lose sight instantly, and the "executioner" metal piston device on his right arm ejected a serrated scalpel, slashing through the throat of the Night Bat Warrior, the opponent's body shook suddenly, and the sound in the megaphone was immediately drowned out by the sound of "gurgling" blood foam.
Sweep of one deck and one deck.
Clearing one passage at a time.
Fu Qinghai and the others did not attack the looted slaves, but only killed the mortal crew members who served the Midnight Lord.
Finally, Fu Qinghai led everyone to the bridge.
The last remaining Midnight Lords have been waiting for a long time.
In the dissipating mist, Fu Qinghai, Qiao Shida, Camille and Lin Yu, the four of them stood proudly at the front of the team, and the weapons in their hands were all bathed in blood.
After a tragic and bloody battle, their outer composite armor had been shattered and disintegrated, and the inner lining had been blackened, chiseled, and scorched, but Fu Qinghai's vibranium lining was still unscathed and as good as new. The helmets of several people were all dented and slightly deformed, Lin Yu was missing an eyepiece, Camille's two eyepieces were cracked to the point that it was difficult to repair, and half of Qiao Shida's face could even be seen through the broken face armor.
And what about the Midnight Lord?
broken, degenerate, decaying...... Dressed in a stolen patchwork of armor, Fu Qinghai's gaze swept over them one by one, and the eyepiece reticle identifying friend and foe flickered and jumped on the outline of their image. The blood-stained heads of the Blood Angels and the torn helmets of the Ultramarines hung from their waists. Everyone's expression was a mixture of annoyance, contempt, and undisguised hatred.
"White Scar ......"
One of the Night Bat warriors sighed and said:
"You are more cunning than we think, and you are more greedy than we imagined, you could have easily won this battle, but you have chosen the most difficult way, your pride and arrogance will surely cost you your life, right in this very moment."
"I'll deal with him, Khan."
The attendant beside him declared resolutely.
Fu Qinghai shook his head and said loudly:
"Qingshan Khan doesn't kill the nameless, who will come?"
"Smiling Lord, Sherion."
The other party also responded sharply.
His helmet is flanked by two signature bat wing crowns, a special symbol displayed by the company commanders of the Night Bat Council, the core inner ring group of the Eighth Legion.
And Fu Qinghai's evaluation after listening to it was:
"Nobody."
The people I don't know are all nobodies.
With that, he rushed forward.
The other party was obviously enraged by Fu Qinghai's arrogance, and without giving an order, the two groups of interstellar marines collided blatantly, catching and killing each other, the chainsaw sword roared, swirled, and hissed, and the sharp blade swept through the multi-layered composite armor of the midnight blue hue, splashing dazzling hot sparks and sharp fragments of pottery steel.
Using his seasoned and brutal melee skills, a Midnight Lord swung his sword and slashed at Lin Yu's armor joints, Lin Yu smashed his helmet with a punch, and the other party snorted and threw his head up, just the second he exposed his articulated throat armor was enough for the White Scar Warrior to end his life.
The chainsaw hook blade crackled against the soft bundle of fibers that covered his neck, biting deep enough to crush bones, and the sliced armor rained down like drops, blood seeping through the breastplate and scattering drops on the cabin floor.
The Midnight Lord fell to his knees, his life gushing out of his brutally torn throat as the clatter of pottery steel slammed across the deck. The squire announced the end of the decapitation with a second swing of the chainsaw sword, the helmet slammed on the deck, the head rolled off safely, and Lin Yu stepped on it with a steel shoe and crushed it.
Xie Lian rushed towards Fu Qinghai, swinging the crackling Seiko power long sword, Fu Qinghai put away the wide open and closed green fangs, pulled out the delicate and delicate green blade, and ...... before the enemy swung his sword and cracked, "Ding!" The two swords fought together, locked and fastened, and no one gave in half a step.
"I don't know his name...... The one who died at the hands of the philosophers of war...... White Scar Ninth Company Commander ...... Giggle, but you're a little better than him. ”
Shellion said with a grin, licking his teeth blackened by the blood stained by his gums.
Fu Qinghai knew who he was talking about, the former commander of the 10th Company of the Midnight Lords and the philosopher of war, Macarion, who, during the day of the siege of Terra, killed the swordsmanship master of the 9th Company of the White Scar and Lumai Khan, the Templar Paladin of the Fist of the Empire, and the Commander of the 7th Company of the Holy Blood Angels, Rogge, the Champion and Senior Officer of the Company.
"A coward who flaunts someone else's record......"
Fu Qinghai pursed his lips and said unceremoniously:
"Sevita, Macarion, Taros, Van Jolen...... I will find and kill them one by one, including you, the nobody of the Midnight Lord. ”
"Smack!"
Between the lightning and flint, the two suddenly separated, and a blood mark appeared on the side of Fu Qinghai's face, and a cluster of blood splashed on the blade of Xie Lion's sword that stirred up a blue arc, and the sound burned dry, but Fu Qinghai didn't seem to care - because the other party's situation was worse than his own.
Xie Lion held the long sword in one hand, staggered left and right two steps, his eyes were shaking, like a drunk, sparks and lubricating oil flickered and dripped from the wound of the power armor, and then blood gushed out like an open faucet, he raised his hand to cover his chest, but he couldn't stop the gushing blood, and looked at Fu Qinghai with a blank face:
"You...... How did you do that? ”
"Poof!"
With that, the Midnight Lord fell face down.
Fu Qinghai raised his knife and looked around, and the entire bridge had been cleared.
Then he looked down at Sherion's body lying on the ground.
Just now, Fu Qinghai used one of the Sith Force skills, "Inertial Acceleration", to make himself suddenly move forward a distance in violation of the laws of physics at the moment he broke away from the sword, and Xie Lion was caught off guard, both hearts were pierced by the power long knife, this action was so fast that the blood began to spurt out a moment after the heart was pierced.
"Although not slain by a lightsaber, you are the first space marines to die by the Force, Lord of the Smiles, your death becomes meaningful, and you are no longer a nameless."
Fu Qinghai said.
……
Suzheng, bridge.
Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's chair and listened to the reports and summaries of his subordinates.
Three greenskins, a Conquest-class Starsea Voyager, a Ruler-class cruiser, and the wrecks and Space Marines floating in space......
Cleaning up the battlefield is a technical task that requires patience and meticulousness, especially for an old capitalist like Fu Qinghai, who "has to squeeze oil out of the chaff".
"After two gang jumping operations, after the war, the Brotherhood killed a total of twelve Space Marines."
Camille reported, his tone somewhat heavy.
As the only pharmacist in the company, Camille was the last link in confirming the state of death, and he said that if he was killed, he was really killed.
And it's clear that newly modified recruits can't recover genetic seeds.
Fu Qinghai nodded:
"It's inevitable in war."
Most of the deaths occurred during gang jumping against the Chaos Warships, and the Greenskin Pirates' combat power was completely incomparable to that of the Midnight Lord.
The death of a mere twelve Space Marine recruits was exchanged for the annihilation of an entire Midnight Lord Warband, which is an exaggerated exchange ratio.
Although it has not yet reached the level of crushing, the new all-alien Space Marines + MK8 Chaos-type power armor already have the strength to surpass the traditional Space Marines.
"Khan!"
At this moment, a naval officer on the bridge interrupts the conversation of several Space Marines.
Fu Qinghai turned his head to look and asked:
"What did you find?"
The mortal officer adjusted the runes in front of him, squinting at the readings in front of him, and said:
"I just spotted a peak in plasma energy on a medium-range omen, a new signal, Khan, thirty thousand kilometers away from us."
"What is this?"
Joshida leaned over and asked:
"A ship?"
"I believe so, azimuth 054."
"Identify it, categories and types, and see how it got so close without us discovering it."
Fu Qinghai ordered.
The mortal officer nodded yes and leaned over again, the screen on the central table, rows of numbers scrolling down, showing detailed information data about the unknown ship.
"I've confirmed the engine signature of the unknown ship, Khan."
The mortal officer read out the message on the screen:
"It's a ...... Well, a patrol battleship belonging to the Misty Star Domain Naval Fleet, a Defender-class escort cruiser named Braveheart. The other party is also confirming our identity. ”
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"It seems that we are not the only ones who received the star-language distress signal sent by the Midnight Lord, and other Imperial warships nearby have also rushed here after hearing the news."
Joshida scoffed:
"It's too late for these guys to finish the battle, and they can't catch up with the heat when they eat."
Eugene Eleanor frowned and said with some confusion:
"Khan, I served in the Misty Star Domain Naval Fleet before, I have the impression of ...... The cruiser Braveheart, which was sunk during the Horus Rebellion. ”
"What's this?"
Lin Yu said nonchalantly:
"Wasn't our Suzheng also a wreck that had just been salvaged?"
"But the porter number should be replaced......"
Fu Qinghai sat on the captain's seat, listening to the conversation between the two, and suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he slapped the table and shouted:
"Raise the Void Shield, immediately, immediately!"
The crew on the bridge quickly carried out his order, just as the main shield array of the fort was about to light up before it could completely cover the entire battleship...... The Light Spear Strike is coming suddenly!
The blazing laser of the Pulsed Light Spear slammed into the Fort Lord's shield array, and the light and dark spots flickered, and the energy shield of the Fort Lord's shield array shattered with a bang.
