Chapter 204: Return to the Pangia Sub-Star Zone

Today, the size of the Imperial Guard has reached thousands of cruisers, and the other destroyers are even more indescribably huge, and in the case of a star sector of only a few hundred moon classes, there are now three star sectors led by Damocles Bay, Partoria, and Gondelva to join the war sequence.

Such a large scale is rare in the empire for a long time, and it is thanks to Huron's overwhelming power that the high lord can be so delegated, in essence, the fleet here is all the emperor's servants, but it is impossible to act in peacetime because of different interests, different civilizations, different regions, and the restrictions of the War Sacred Codex.

And thousands of warships, with an average of 30,000 permanent personnel, as well as their expenses and transfers, as the saying goes, it is knowledge to be able to organize a hundred people to travel, and all of them come back intact, not to mention 60 million soldiers of the Imperial Guard?

The elite of the Empire must enjoy the best supply and the best maintenance, and the Empire Engine must also be maintained by hundreds of high-level world mechanical priests, and after reaching tens of millions of orders of magnitude, this number is already blurred.

Such a huge void fleet docked near Pan Lan, although the commanders talked loudly and scolded Fang Xuan, but it still couldn't stay for a long time, and the war and attrition must be carried out as soon as possible.

Because of the confidence brought to them by the Empire's powerful force, at the sound of an order, the subspace jump began, and after the flickering scale and the fluctuation of the Mandeville point, the huge fleet entered the pitch-black subspace.

To be precise, it's not the pitch black of subspace, it's the pitch darkness of Geller's position, humanity is both weak and strong, and no race in this universe has spread greater than humanity, but no race is weaker than humanity.

Even the green-skinned boy can firmly witness the subspace, and the souls that can be killed by the chaos gods just by detecting it are indeed ridiculously weak, but the heroes born from the tens of thousands of people can make the galaxy tremble.

Aboard the Portero, Alan Baier is enjoying his last vacation from a trip to subspace, and according to the intelligence officer he rescued earlier, the Imperial Guard will face the defense array of the Pangia subsector after the Mandeville point is highlighted.

It was a vacuum triangle of three imperial worlds, so far apart that Mandeville was pinned to where its three star systems converged.

In other words, if the Imperial Guard jump is completed, there is a high probability that they will be greeted by an attack from the three worlds, which is not very powerful, and the main Red Pirate force is now misled into the Void.

But the hesitant attack still lingers.

Commander-in-Chief Zivan handed over his elite men to Alan Bair, and when the "brave" voice of Staff Officer Kane echoed across the bridge, hundreds of people gathered here, waving their arms, with the same frenzy as if they were coming again.

"Kane, Kaifas Kane is here!" As a fan of him, a fan of Kane, the biggest hero of the Empire, how high-profile this fan group is, in terms of this tone, comparable to the Pope of the State Church.

Alan Bair yelled. "The bridge is heavy, don't make a noise!"

As a result, only Kane bowed and said. "Dear Sun Lord, I'm sorry, my fans are a bit fanatical."

This is strange, but it is not surprising, because the crew on Poldero watches Alan Baier, the friendly lieutenant colonel, and the junior crew grab the hot water heater to make coffee, or study with the Skadi soldiers how to heat the best cans of Golo, and secondly, he likes to use cards to cheat money from the crew.

The usual "inaction" makes his majesty non-existent, and the captain is also infected by Alan Baier, and his attitude towards his subordinates is not strict, plus Kane's bonus, everyone is a little up, and even the one who waved the most was Chief of Staff Skady...

It was only after the soldiers had a hard time quieting down that Kane expressed his concern about coming here. "Lord Sunlord, I admire your bravery, but it is irrational to charge at the enemy's position without any scruples."

"My recommendation is to try to be as sensible as possible, such as using a part of the vanguard to attract combat power..."

Alan Beyer interrupted Mr. Kane's scruples. "No problem, the Red Pirates have all gone to intercept the bomb ships in the subspace, and they have lost nearly a thousand forces in the previous war, I don't believe they still have the main force."

"It is more in line with the current interests of the empire to recover the first star sector as quickly as possible, if we can't get results, grinding and grinding, there will be huge internal pressure, imagine that we have sixty million combat troops and two thousand void warships, and its burden is not the previous war."

Kane was speechless, he naturally agreed, but it was a little..."a little too much..."

"Gambling?" "There is no victory without gambling, and it is not in the interests of the empire today." Alan Bair spoke.

Kane judged in his heart that the Sun Lord was a madman, why didn't he feel it before? No wonder he was in such a strange situation when we first met!

Kane couldn't help but sigh now when he thought that the bombardment of an ambassador-class merchant ship and the coercion of the alien falling from the sky turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg of the madness of the Imperial hero.

"Alright, alright, then I have a question—" Kane replied before Alan Bair could finish. Our transport ships are in good condition and can be escaped anytime and anywhere. ”

"Are you the roundworm in my stomach?" For the first time, Kane felt pinched, and if the person opposite couldn't read minds, then he must not be simple.

Kane was still glad that he was a teammate who was far better than an enemy, but because of this, he had the confidence to gamble, only before that, he needed to check whether the ship's escape system was safe enough.

When Kane walked away, Alan Baier still couldn't believe that this guy who looked a little funny was a real hero of the Empire, but the Empire would not allow waste to be a hero, and his great achievements were real achievements.

"Captain, how long do you have to sail?"

The captain took a puff on his wooden pipe and exhaled a smoke ring. "A month, a month."

"Faster than expected, the subspace shipping lanes are good, Emperor bless." He added.

"That's right, the Emperor willing—" Alan Bair nodded.

At this moment, in the subspace on the other side, the main force of the Red Pirates is belated, those are composed of the most ferocious and crazy space marines, but they do not have members of the former Star Claw, and here I have to mention the structure of the Star Claw now.

Compared with the previous warband, the current Red Pirates are a large war group, in addition to the interstellar soldiers, there are countless warriors gathered because of the Black Heart King, just like the heroes of Liangshan, who only came to Liangshan.

The power of Huron and his morality have gathered a large number of traitors, and his core is only those soldiers of the former Star Claw, those loyal brothers.

Therefore, he has no scruples in employing people but favors his brothers, which leads to the exclusion of those veterans by others, especially those who join later, and once he fixes the basic plate of Hugh, just like the base of the Sun Lord Alan Baier is Skadi, the Pangias-Army and the Foraxia Panzer Regiment, and the Red Pirates are the basic plate of the Blackheart King.

It's just that Alan Bair binds those soldiers with honor, blood, the future of humanity and empire, and he relies on isolation, privilege and alienation.

This huge Chaos force organized to resist the Astral Army is the strongest force of the Blackheart King outside of the local guardian force, although there are only 500 warships, its core is the members of the Black Legion who have been rebelled against from the Eye of Fear, Abaddon's adult inaction and the violent beating by Cadia have caused some of the warriors to be dissatisfied, and the Blackheart King is the powerful one to satisfy them.

At this moment, the blood of the living people they prayed for was in front of them, and the restless feeling was in the strike ships that could chase them to the time of the establishment of the empire to the present, and the chaotic filth and blood made them favor the lives of their compatriots.

"Forward, let those Imperial Corpse Emperor believers see how powerful we are!" The roaring sound echoed in the communicator, and it was difficult to judge the specific situation of the battleship with the naked eye in the vast subspace domain, so the bird could only judge the approximate size of the enemy to determine the level.

Basically, Imperial cargo ships can reach the destroyer class, large barges can be cruiser class, and larger ones can be the size of battleships.

"Servant of the Corpse Emperor, that's right!" In the command point, those elites were gearing up, they were eager, they were eager, they were longing, but they didn't know that the enemy in front of them was not the Imperial Guard, but the fire attack ship.

"Distance 4000 km, 3000, 2500, 2000, 1000, 500, 200... Visible to the naked eye, close to the distance..."The Space Marines picked up the observer, but the demonic host, who served as a navigator and prophet in the battleship, suddenly roared, and the violent sound made the chaotic interior of the battleship even worse.

"What is it yelling at?!" The Terminator veteran in the traitor Space Marine realizes that something is wrong, and he turns on his device to look out, and shouts. "Gods of Chaos!"

The Fire Attack Ship was unfamiliar to the veterans, but it was not unfamiliar, after all, there was always an opportunity to use such crazy tactics in this long dark millennium, and they did not understand why the mortals on the ship could travel to subspace without opening Geller's position.

It's not that the Chaos forces are weak, but it's inherently bizarre, after all, it means that their intelligence is so bad that the enemy can predict their movements, and there is technology on the opposite side of the unmanned spaceship.

Compared to the Chaos Traitors, the Mechs did not have too much intelligence, and just calmly executed their programs, launching the messenger ship and returning to the physical universe, and the fire attack ship was advancing at full speed and ramming the enemy.

At a distance visible to the naked eye, the frantic speed of the sub-light engine, coupled with the blurred sense of distance that flickers and nears in subspace, makes even the most elite Space Marine veterans unable to avoid the most unskilled impacts.

Just as the most frequently used tactics in this universe are the most primitive things in civilization fighting, the effects of this suicide impact are far greater than expected.

"Right full rudder!" The Space Marines screamed, and the mortal servants twisted the cursed-spiked rudders in front of them, but just as it was too late when they arrived at this place, the Empire's fire-attacking ships were already within reach.

The Chaos Renegade's spears of light and cannon can tear apart some small ships but cannot attack the enemy's core warships, and the nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, messy gunpowder, and the fire and dark matter of the subspace bombs of the Spirit Race ignite and explode under the violent impact.

At this moment, the dark subspace had stars, and the violent energy generated by the explosion shone into the realm of the Chaos Gods, and the actions of mortals made the demons wonder, and there was no one in ten Space Marines who escaped death.

Even if they were inhabited by the Eye of Fear or mutated genetic seeds, or even the bloody gladiatorial arena did not swallow them up, the Space Marines were naturally not afraid of war and sacrifice, but the fragments of the ancient blow barges and the burning hull of the ships crackled with the blessing of the air and materials in their ships, and the scenery like a bonfire floated through the void, and the appearance of the battle brothers whose bodies were badly charred still made the surviving Star Marines feel uneasy and... Wrath.

And at this moment, the object they really need to ambush has broken through the most difficult travel time in subspace, and thousands of Imperial Guard warships flash from the void at the node where Mandeville Point is pulled by the planet's gravity and stabilized in subspace and reality.

The mortal traitors, especially the former Astral Army in the Pangia sub-sector, were almost stunned, after all, expeditions were already very few in the history of the Empire, especially in the 10,000 years since Kiriman wrote the Astarte Holy Codex, there were only a handful of wars of this scale.

They realized what great storm they had been caught up in, and began to regret that they had groveled to the servants of the gods, but the Void Base of the former Imperial Navy was not powerful in front of the Imperial Guard Expeditionary Force, and they could indeed tear apart one or more battleships, but in the face of such a number of expeditions, this sturdy fortress was instantly evaporated by the light spear, leaving only the rubbish of the ruins.

And its destruction also means that the Imperial Guard has come to Pangia, to Elan Bair, to be precise, the Skadians, the home of the Pangia Subsector Army, but it has become strange and strange.

And the big warships just looked at the bird and were wary of the next attack, but the emperor blessed, the bird did not react, and the enemy did not have the strength to attack the Imperial Guard...

Kane looked at the Sun Lord with a complicated expression, he was right, the Imperial Navy was devastated, and the main force of the enemy was not here.

Alan Bair only put his finger on the star map, the Void War is a naval war, and they must occupy those fallen worlds, the so-called islands, in a short period of time to provide enough supplies for this huge army.

His fingers ran over three crucial places on the star map, the triangle that made up the curtain of war, the casting world of Minas Tilia, the nest world of Pangia X., and the agricultural world of Vena.

The Empire is going to seize these places like a traitor plundering the Empire's territory, so that this huge army can gain a foothold, and now gradually move forward to win this huge war.
