End of meeting.

Fu Qinghai returned to the Suzheng.

"Eugene, inform the crew to return to the battleship."

"Yes, Khan."

The mortal captain took the order and departed.

Many mortal crew members took advantage of the warband fleet to rest and recuperate, and this was allowed. As for the casting world, isn't it all over the world, where do you get the amusement facilities? Then you are underestimating the oil age.

In the era when the world was independently responsible for diplomacy, those diplomats who were highly prosthetic and still beautiful and handsome in appearance took into account the aesthetics of both mortals and machines. Even if the cost of the beautiful "machine girl" is too high, it is just to make the sailors feel refreshed, and the engine oil has always had a way.

"Lin Yu, report on the rest and replenishment."

"Okay, Khan."

The attendant picked up the datapad and began to report.

The focus was on the purification of the souls, the cleaning of the cabins, and the refurbishment of several captured ships, which took the longest time, and the Sophistication of the Ruler assigned the participation of many technical priests in the Attar Median Casting World, and cooperated with the technical sergeants of the warband, to complete these complicated tasks in a short period of time.

The Brain of Mordorke, this modification is almost equivalent to obtaining the Innate Ability of the Ultramariner in disguise, and it is still an enhanced version comparable to the genetic prototype level (Robert Killiman is said to be able to process more than 50,000 pieces of information at the same time, and this ability is actually possessed by Perturabo as well). The human brain is comparable to that of a computer, and it is almost impossible to make mistakes in the statistical work of collating and compiling these data.

Lin Yu quickly finished reporting.

"Okay, notify all the battleships, raise anchor."

"Yes, Khan."

After the fleet departs, they will be greeted by a long voyage. After Fu Qinghai returned to the captain's room, the armor on his body was opened layer by layer, and he stepped out of the power armor to change into a light and loose robe, and then began his routine meditation practice.

Fu Qinghai raised his hand and pressed the bedroom button.

The hatch had just slid open in either direction.

Fu Qinghai sensed that something was wrong.

On the ten-meter-square big bed of the war group leader, on the messy white futon, there was a pink-haired beauty with snow-white skin. Zuo Fia only wears simple cotton briefs and a knitted racerbox, without the blessing of lace mesh tulle, which naturally reveals a lazy taste of purity and desire. The captain in charge leaned lazily on the pillow, a snow-white lotus arm drooped by the side of the bed, holding a wine glass in his hand, and two empty glass bottles poured next to the big bed.

It's all wines from Quartis.

Stinky......

Fu Qinghai's eyes narrowed slightly.

Do you know how expensive this wine is?

I actually drank two bottles by myself.

"Aoyama~"

Zofia raised her head and called softly.

Her eyes were misty, her eyelashes were thick and long, and her face was flushed, and her freckles were not so obvious. The girl raised her hand and rubbed her messy hair, revealing a clean and white skin under her armpits, pursed her lips slightly, and muttered:

"My mechanical dreams...... Looks like it's flare-up again, hiccup! I just want to have some drinks, come on, and relax. ”

The corners of Fu Qinghai's mouth twitched.

I don't think you're having a mechanical dream.

I think you're having a fever.

Fu Qinghai didn't say anything, took out a Pym Ray pistol from the drawer and shot himself in the head, and after shrinking his size, he walked barefoot to the edge of the bed and sat down, smelling a body fragrance mixed with alcohol on the tip of his nose. Seeing this, the girl immediately turned over and got out of bed, did not stand up, but knelt on the carpet and moved over, Zuo Feiya knelt in front of Fu Qinghai with her feet together, looked up at the man and smiled, and held his knees with both hands.

Fu Qinghai stretched out his hand and touched her face.

Zofia narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly and brightly.

He put his hands out and buried his head in it.

……

"What's your name?"

The male voice asked in a low voice.

"Left, Zofia."

The female voice gasped and replied.

"Full name."

"Zofia Tan Draconis."

"Smack!"

"Ahh

"Say it again."

"My name is ......, my name is "

"Zofia Tan Aoyama's puppy."

"Uh-huh......"

…………

The Imperial Army launched a new offensive.

On the battlefield, sometimes a key piece of information can change a lot, after the Imperial Army changed its fighting style, although the losses of the Imperial Guard increased suddenly, but the Dark Mechanic God Cult was very uncomfortable, and the black engine oil veterans who felt that they couldn't take advantage of it didn't want to exchange blood with the Empire anymore, and gradually began to retreat.

Five Astarte warbands regrouped.

This time, all the Astarte warbands were satisfied, and even looked forward to it, because they were about to face their fallen cousins, the Chaos Space Marines.

Fighting against Chaos Space Marines will always make loyal Space Marines feel satisfied, because in a sense, it is a process of washing away their own shame and stigma.

Even after 10,000 years, many historical records have been lost, and there are still people who believe that the culprit and initiator of the great rebellion that swept the entire galaxy 10,000 years ago was Astarte. Without Astarte, there would have been no Horus Rebellion, without Astarte, those bloodsheds and atrocities would not have happened, and without Astarte, the human empire would have been more prosperous.

This "Astarte guilt theory" and "Astarte threat theory" are still very marketable not only today, but also 10,000 years later, not only mortals always look at these superhuman soldiers with vigilance and fear, but also many radical inquisitors, who have been tirelessly investigating historical clues and trying to find evidence to prove that the rebellion 10,000 years ago was caused by Astarte. So the first thing Robert Killiman did when he got up and returned to Terra was to revise history, to retell the history of the rebellion that he had personally experienced, and to tell people the truth.

He used to be an emperor angel that everyone admired.

It is now a source of rebellion that everyone is wary of.

Any veteran of both the Great Expedition and the Great Rebellion will feel extremely humiliated, and the Space Marine's anger needs to be vented - not against the civilians, of course. The Chaos Space Marines, the real initiators and culprits, are the best targets to vent.

For Fu Qinghai, he is a reincarnation and an outsider, he does not have much shame, and he does not expect to be admired by mortals, but he also likes to fight against Chaos Space Marines, because the Khan has not forgotten his "original intention" - to expand the warband by absorbing the genetic seeds of traitor Star Marines.

He even did some analysis.

Among the nine rebel legions, the Midnight Lord is the most likely to harvest pure genetic seeds, and most of the bat cubs do not hang chaos. The Sons of Horus, Iron Warriors, and Alpha are the next most, and their beliefs are usually confusing, with some believing in everything and some believing in nothing. The remaining four legions: Sons of the Emperor, Death Guard, Sons of a Thousand Sores, and World Eaters, the chosen legions of Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Tzeentch, respectively, are the most corrupted, and they are the hardest to find untainted genetic seeds—but not impossible!

The genetic seed composition of the Iron Floating Slaughter Regiments also basically conforms to this law. Camille, as the chief of the apothecary, personally operated or supervised each of the modification surgeries, and he counted the composition of the genetic seeds of the warband: white scars accounted for the absolute majority, followed by the Midnight Lord, and then the Iron Warrior, less than a company of Emperor's sons, single-digit world eaters.

……

Just before the Chaos Fleet was about to withdraw from the Ring of Steel, the combined fleet of five Astarte warbands finally intercepted them, and a brutal battle was inevitable.

A battle that never ends with death.

The bridge of the Suzheng.

"Qingshan, Huxlo asked you to command us."

Nasir Amit said in the projection:

"What do you think, hurry up."

The Blood Angel's eyes were red and he gasped.

The Flesh Ripper's War Leader was a little impatient.

All the battle group leaders looked at Fu Qinghai.

"I don't have any ideas."

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"What other tricks can be used in a standard gang jumping battle? It's nothing more than that we engage the enemy, we fire, we board ships, we win, and that's it. The machine soul automatically coordinates and assigns targets, and I only have one request......"

"The biggest ship is left to me."

Fu Qinghai used the power of the commander.

Several of the clan leaders glanced at each other:

"Yes."

Generalissimo Huxlo really got me a good job. Fu Qinghai thought to himself. Let me command four Astarte warbands, how can these proud soldiers listen to me, and what tricks can they play in gang jumping?

Standardized combat processes.

Standardized meat grinders and slaughterhouses.

"The enemy is waiting for us in the distance, let's go!"

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and ordered.

The holographic projections of the warband leaders went out.

The Combined Fleet split into several groups and pounced on the Chaos Fleet.

Many people know that white scars are mostly known for their speed, but many people don't know that white scars have a label in addition to speed - good at space naval warfare.

Although the space naval battles in the Warhammer 40k universe are similar to the naval battles of sail warships in the real world - facing the enemy on the side of the ship, shelling each other's guns, and jumping gangs to seize ships...... It can be said that there are all kinds of elements, but the two are still very different. The biggest difference: in the era of sail warships, ships fought on the sea, and the combat environment was similar to a two-dimensional plane, while space naval warfare was in a three-dimensional space, with one more dimension and an additional vertical axis, and the form of war would be very different. Naval officers are required to have extremely strong spatial perception and orientation discrimination.

】

White scars are the best of the bunch.

So, who among the Space Marines is not very good at space naval warfare? Space wolf. Space wolf Space Marines have a more sensitive sense of smell than other Space Marines, and they like to rely on their sense of smell and intuition to make judgments, but their sense of smell and intuition may be effective in hand-to-hand combat, but they are almost useless in space naval combat.

The fleet is moving at a rapid pace.

Through the armoured portholes, a hazy glow, flickering glow of brilliant nebulae and stellar dust swirled overhead, enough to cause people who were already prone to motion sickness to feel dizzy and nauseous and vomiting. Meteorite belts and the edges of the rings of stars are receding, and the Chaos Fleet is trying to lead the Astarte Combined Fleet into a complex celestial domain, circling the stars like jackals around corpses.

"Space mines have been detected ahead!"

Eugene said in a deep voice.

"They even laid minefields in advance."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"I'm pretty well prepared."

Mines, stars, meteorites, all three constitute a complex battlefield, and although there is still a vacuum of hundreds of kilometers in between, the Astarte Combined Fleet has little room for maneuver. They are sandwiched between minefields, stellar orbits, and the planetary atmospheres below. The confined space makes it impossible for a ship of the size of the "Suzheng" to turn around at maximum thrust, and the slightest delay or a wrong command can cause the battle barge to crash into a mine, or crash into the planet's atmosphere to break apart, or rush into the ionosphere of a star and burn up the keel.

Tied up.

It's like two strong men fighting hand-to-hand in a coffin.

At this moment.

Other warband ships have already opened fire in advance.

As if the beast had suddenly woken up from its silence, the baffle covering the bow of the ship opened, and at the same time turned on the fury of the cannon and the torpedo. Ships rained down on giant cannonballs loaded with high explosives and jumper torpedoes loaded with even more dangerous creatures. Fu Qinghai didn't understand why the bloodthirsty and flesh-ripping people were launching the jumping torpedo now.

A giant torpedo swept past the battleship.

Fu Qinghai inadvertently looked sideways.

There seems to be a glimpse of a black torpedo with a red cross on it.

Well?

Fu Qinghai suddenly thought of it.

Holy Blood Angel Regiment, red cross on black background......

Company of Death! They cast the Company of Death!

"Tsk, did you use this trick when you came up?"

Fu Qinghai raised his head and scanned the vast starry sky and the fierce battlefield through the armored porthole. He already knew that the opponent was the Iron Warrior by capturing the enemy from the gang last time, and it is said that Perturabo himself did not like to observe the battlefield through the portholes, believing it to be an invalid act, and the Iron Warriors demanded that the Legion's flagship seal all the portholes, and only allow the battlefield to be viewed with detectors, sensors, and orniths - an example of the Iron Lord's superstitious data. I don't know if the warships in the Chaos Fleet also have portholes.

Look at it.

Fu Qinghai suddenly had a plan.

"The technical sergeant immediately went to the torpedo deck, temporarily modified the anti-ship torpedo, removed the metal chaff and thermal flares from the array of close-defense weapons, and installed them in the tail of the torpedo."

The warband leader commanded loudly.

"Yes, Khan."

A large number of technical sergeants were ordered to leave.

"Khan, do you want to fire?"

Eugene asked, looking up.

The fleets of other warbands have been locked in a fierce exchange of fire.

There was still no movement on the side of the Iron Floating Slaughter Fleet.

"Wait."

Fu Qinghai stared at several screens and said.

On the screen of the bird divination, large and small rune light points were marked, and dense various space mines were quietly suspended in the void. Space mines are often used to blockade airports or as one of the planetary orbital defenses, and occasionally as a means of stopping pursuers, and like torpedoes, they are not intercepted by void shields, but they tend to be scattered and dense, as they are now, with very small intervals and some haphazard patterns.

"Khan, the torpedo modification is complete!"

A technical sergeant said in the communication channel.

"Very good...... Torpedo salvo readiness. ”

Fu Qinghai said slowly.

"The torpedo deck is ready."

The crew quickly returned.

"The Light Spear is ready to be charged."

"The Light Spear Array is ready."

"Macro cannon reloading preparation."

"The cannon array is loaded."

"Joestar."

"I'm here, Khan."

"Leave a company as a reserve, under my personal command. All the senior officers and company commanders of the warband led their respective companies into the jumper torpedoes and the Thunderhawk gunboats. ”

"Yes!"

All arrangements are set up.

Fu Qinghai's eyes were staring at the big screen tightly.

The swirling three-dimensional projection outlines the path of the Chaos Fleet, with the green dotted line representing your own path and the red dotted line representing the enemy's path, intertwined between minefields, meteorites, and stars.

It's like a ballet dancer.

The chase continued, and the Chaos fleet collectively deflected at an angle, preparing to avoid the stars ahead, a particularly narrow place, sandwiched between a minefield and a meteorite, and within the angle of the bow torpedo tubes of the Iron Float Fleet, but with a large minefield in between.

Now is the time!

"Shoot the arrows!"

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and shouted.

A battleship and three cruisers fired a row of torpedoes in one salvo, the anti-ship torpedoes quickly crossed the minefield, the torpedoes carried improvised metal foil strips and thermal flares, and ignited one after another, the space mines in the minefield suddenly began to tremble, the signal of the thermal decoy triggered the sensors of the mines, and the space mines started the propulsion devices one after another and chased towards several torpedoes.

Domino effect.

The whole minefield suddenly moved.

Like a swarm of angry wasps that have been stabbed in a hive, space mines chase the wake of anti-ship torpedoes, forming a string of iron grapes. A few anti-ship torpedoes were quickly exploded by the Chaos Fleet's close-in defense weapon array, but the plasma heat source and infrared signal generated by the explosion further stimulated the space mines that followed them, and they rushed towards the Chaos warship.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A steady stream of mine explosions.

Each explosion attracts another.

Until one side of the enemy ship was engulfed in flames.

The Multiple Void Shield Array, which can partially deflect light and has a unique visual distraction effect, when the external fire hits the Void Shield, it will begin to vibrate like gelatin, and a variety of colors will appear on the surface.

The specific combination of these colors can show the current level of local strength of the shield and how much attack it can withstand. In addition to this, different levels of firepower are capable of inspiring energy flares of different ranges on the Void Shield.

Normally, an experienced naval officer can tell if the enemy ship's Void Shield generator is on the verge of overload by the state of the enemy's shield when it is attacked.

But now everything is covered by explosive flames.

Fu Qinghai didn't wait for the Void Shield to appear, and directly ordered:

"A salvo of light spear cannons! Jump gang torpedo sortie! ”

Take advantage of your illness to kill you!

The Iron Floaters bent their bows and arrows.

Another wave of shots was thrown.

This wave of shooting, heavy arrows, is especially deadly!

Golden beams and macro cannon shells, straight through the minefield, arrive first! Because the mine arrangement is too messy and dense, a few anti-ship torpedoes have taken away too many space mines, and several vacuum channels appear in the minefield, and the boarding torpedoes go straight to the enemy ship along these empty channels, and then arrive!

The space between the two fleets was pierced by the trail of scorching light spears and torpedo salvos. The enemy ship shook in the impact, and more than a dozen decks lost pressure. Huge metal petals were torn from its flanks, accompanied by white mist and fountains of water ice, and the corpses of the crew, inflated by the vacuum, were tossed right behind.

"Enemy arrows! Enemy arrows! ”

Eugene shouted excitedly.

I also learned the wording of the battle leader.

"Hmph."

It's done, it works!

Although he was also inexplicably excited in his heart, Aoyama Khan remained silent on the surface, just snorted softly, showing his superior demeanor, as if everything was expected.

"The battleship turned, bypassed the minefield, and prepared to engage the enemy."

The battle group leader ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, Khan!"
