Chapter 317 There is no choice of choice
In the darkness of the void to the boundless, there was a glimmer of light, and in this place where there were no stars, the master of the light must not be the stars, but civilization, the civilization created by intelligent beings, and to be more accurate, it should be called the specific concept of human warships.
The long, graceful Pordello and the warrior baptism march side by side, the souls of the two Empire-made Void Behemoths transmitting messages to each other that mortals and flesh mortals cannot comprehend, and finally, with the two warships positioned each other, they determined that the Imperial Guard and the Eagle of Destruction had approached the territory of the Sefreo Fortress, its void.
The Lord of Skady and the Astartes have returned, but now the void is silent, and the noisy radios, communications from the transportation of goods, and the forced commands from the annoying territorial fortresses are gone.
"No message requesting a dock." Alan Bair looked at the long void, at first he was afraid and timid here, now he is still timid, but no longer afraid, these two concepts are different, because he realizes the vastness and beauty of the void, and he also knows more about the horror and the nothingness here, this place exists both concepts, it can be so desolate that any civilization can be trapped on the home planet, or it can be small enough to make the empire feel too many enemies, too many aliens.
The silence here is part of it, but it also means that the original hustle and bustle here is gone, and Alan Baier did not expect such a thing to happen, he hesitated for a long time and asked the captain. "How's the bird divination?"
The captain replied. "There was no trace of the enemy, it seemed silent."
"It's not an accident." Alan Bair admits that he knows that things can easily go bad, and that he was not unforeseen during this time, to be precise, he even knew the general situation and asked Poldero to move forward as fast as possible, but now, the situation is not optimistic.
Before his thoughts could calm down, the Master Chief of the Destroying Eagle came with his master, Miss Nova the Grand Inquisitor, and his huge body had changed at this moment.
He followed Nova to train his talent in Poldero, and now his armor has a lot of beautiful skulls and runes, and the hilt of the Falcon Sword on his waist is inlaid with a crystal ball crystallized with sea blue crystals, as a help for his psionic energy to stay in the physical universe, that is, psionic nodes or psionic mediums, but this is not a very powerful magic weapon, but Nova's personal can get a better medium, compared to the staff of many famous psionic people in the empire.
But on the whole, his temperament has changed, he is brave and more rational, his reason is mixed with madness, his golden hair is getting longer and longer, and his pale blue eyes also hide the purple that represents spiritual energy, he asked if he was worried.
"My prophecy has come true?" His tone was worried, even if he saw a blurry picture when he first touched his psionic energy after the training began, it was a burning flame, in a dark, man-made place, building a battlefield, like a strange amusement park, but full of death, he realized that this was a prophecy, he saw the battlefield, but what does this battlefield have to do with him, the whole empire is fighting all the time?
In the end, his psionic energy became stronger and stronger, to be precise, the mastery ability became more and more powerful, the energy in his latent body was enough to disperse, he realized that every battle with psionic creatures in his life was slowly strengthening his connection with the Supreme Heaven, he naturally knew about demons, and now, he became the person he hated the most before.
He had seen the destruction of the fortress, the death of a loyal nobleman, the vague war, and the betrayal, but he could only hint at the Lord of Skady, the most ambiguous bytes, and now they had verified the reliability of those things.
At this moment, even an individual as powerful as a Space Marine can't help but have a sense of dislocation, which is the psychology that an individual who has not been exposed to his own predictions about the future is prone to appear, and he begins to subconsciously feel that this thing has appeared because of himself, because it does not exist without observation, and people always subconsciously think that their will has changed something.
It had nothing to do with him, but as with that sentence, when he realized it, he was caught up in it, like an undercurrent and a whirlpool, and the responsible demigod had made it his responsibility to save the fortress, and he said with a slight apology. "We're still slowing down."
"Slow?" Alan Barr looked at the void. "No, just right, if there are no enemies here, then surely in front of the fortress, they are attacking, I can judge it this way."
"Margron is not dead, I can swear, and the enemy has not achieved his goal, I can be sure that because the void is too quiet, no lord will allow his realm to be trodden by strangers, in other words, this is borderland, or is being robbed." Alan Bair laughed. "As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to be lucky, and now we can wipe out all the enemies."
His words were a bit cruel, but a small sacrifice was no match for the allure of destroying the ambitious or controlled lords at once, the living force and professional soldiers were worth much more than the citizens of the Empire, and he, though still strong, was becoming more and more like a bastard of this world.
Alan Baier ordered to accelerate, and the burner at full speed pulled the piston to the maximum with each movement, and two more meteors crossed the boundless void in the void, leaving only a long tail, and after thousands of kilometers, only half an hour, the bird was aware of the enemy as expected, and the captain reported without surprise.
"Five, two Cosmos, two Karak galleons, one Whale transport, they're diagonally below us, with the Fortress in front of them, and they're orbiting that asteroid in a standard array of clusters In my experience, this is the standard Void Strike threat attitude."
"I've seen people deal with internal strife in the empire, and a month-level is inevitably looking for a target, but it doesn't seem to be bad now."
Alan Baier rubbed his chin. "Captain, do you have any recommendations?"
The captain replied. "The baptism of fire strikes on the right, on our left, and in front of them is a fortress, so they can only retreat and take our fire, and if they retreat, whether they turn around or use auxiliary thrusters to rear, their maneuverability will be terrible, and they will be even more stretched down by our speed than we are."
"How about a standard diagonal flank that is enough for them to go to the emperor and count their sins?"
"Simple, subtle, it would be better if we had torpedoes." Alan Bair nodded, he gave an order to the Baptismal Fire, the two most elite weapons of the Empire are therefore ready to attack, the difference between them is as simple as the multi-sail facing a single or two sails in the Guterra era, because the energy, armor, and the core of the Void Shield, even if five enemy ships attack together, they will probably not be able to overload their shields, this is the fundamental gap, the innate gap between the Imperial Sword and the Imperial Hammer and the local cargo ships.
Their tailitis and massive bodies were too fast in the void, and the enemy's bird was instantly roaring, and the Earl of Greatness was on his throne, and this young man, who was eight points similar to his father, did not understand. "Reinforcements? Who will help them? It's a wild dog that has come to smell it! Just two ships, serve them with a macro cannon, and just beat the crippled and half-ruined! ”
The owner of the frog at the bottom of the well on the small boat without even a navigator spoke quite harshly, comparing the Imperial Guard and Astarte to a chicken and tile dog, and thanks to the fact that he had no navigator and could not detect the specific shape of the ship with his third eye, he could only get the information after the enemy approached the photoreceptor and the contemplative array to calculate, but his servant shouted.
"It's not close to range yet, but it's too fast! Are they three times faster than ours? ”
"Triple times?!" Weide couldn't believe that the great power he inherited should be the most powerful in this void, and the speed of three times is only military......
"Damn it, retreat, leave it alone, it's Roaming Harbor!" He yelled, whether those people wanted a piece of the pie or not, or helped them, but he knew very well what was here, even if those warships occupied this place, they would never let them go, and in the era of Roaming Harbor rule, there was only one person who was so armed, Bandertar, the lord of the merchant dynasty.
But his servant cried out. "No, my lord, there is a fortress in front of us, and no matter how we move forward, we will be pulled in by the mimic gravity of the fortress and fall!"
"Leave it alone! Turn! In any case, we should be able to eat the next volley! He commanded like this, and the ship group began to dispatch, but the void suddenly crossed two beams, which were the most powerful thermal weapons in human history, and the scorching orange light was the thunder fired by the special crystals inside the muzzles of several heavy guns, which penetrated the flanks of the two cosmic-class armed transport ships almost instantly, losing 10% of their structure!
What a long distance to shoot like this, just a brush produced a considerable over-penetration, the overwhelming technological gap and equipment ability made it impossible to raise the slightest thought of resistance, and at the end, the young earl demanded that the radio be released.
After a long wait, the signals traveled hundreds of kilometers to the command center in Alan Bair, and Skadi's master was intrigued, he looked at the officers here, and asked. "What do you think?"
Said the Destroyer Eagle Sergeant. "Next."
The chief of staff, who was born in Tadashi, shook his head. "Execute them."
The captain hesitated, then demanded strongly. "I am on the same page as the Chief of Staff."
Inquisitor Nova nodded. "I want to see the traitor and use this to give the verdict."
Alan Bair snapped his fingers. "Two to two, then, my opinion is, take it."
Everyone was relatively indifferent, but the captain suddenly moved his body, walked down the command point for the first time, and spoke. "I'll go to the bathroom, and you'll be in command." At this critical juncture, even in wartime, it would be foolish to do so, but he was qualified, and the enemy was only a civilian ship, so Alan Baier turned a blind eye, he pressed the lever button, and the mechanical priest prayed continuously, activated, and a dark green hologram appeared.
It was a young man, haughty, panicked, and soft-spoken, and he spoke. "My lord, why did you attack us, we don't need those things, we don't need this fortress, can you give us a way out?"
Alan Baier rubbed his head. "But who will pay the debts of the dead loyalists in this fortress?"
The young man's hologram swallowed. "Also? You're not an Engilian, and I know you, Skadi's master, oh my God, I, no, my father and I became guns, or pawns, or pawns. He smiled bitterly, feeling great pressure and helplessness, and he asked sincerely. Great Sun Lord, can you spare me, I can join you on your expedition, I know many secrets! ”
Alan Baier shook his head. "My ship is full, if you had come sooner, like your father came to his senses, or we could have taken it easy, but he chose the other side."
Count Weide scolded. "My father didn't know about it, he just thought Margroon was crazy! Until the end, I didn't get your presence in the Star Language! ”
In this way, they are not betrayers, so Alan Baier subconsciously felt a little ashamed of them, but quickly adjusted his thoughts. "Then blame the emperor for not bless you, and now the mistakes you made are irreparable."
The Count smiled wryly. "Yes, sir, then." He shouted. "Fire!"
Five big ships fired a grand cannon at the same time, and the powerful energy flashed through the void, at this moment this young man proved his position, and he finally reluctantly chose the power to push him here, his fate was doomed from the beginning, either take this port as soon as possible, remove a large amount of strategic-level food inside, or die in the wrath of the master of this star sector.
It's just that he never had a choice, he was engulfed by two powerful forces, one was the Purple Hand and the other was the Engili spaceport, and at the same time there were countless small forces, such as hatred, territorial responsibility, he needed to get food back to the millions of inhabitants of his territory, and he needed revenge.
So he killed countless innocent people, is he a bad person? The cruelty is here, there is no right or wrong in this world, only victory and defeat, they are not bad people from the beginning, only conflicts of interests, and the mortal who died is just a natural victim, and he will become one of them.
When those cannonballs streaked through the void and landed on the massive bodies of Poldello and Baptismism, there were many more than misses, but those things were completely absorbed by a thin, transparent blue shield, and those energy sources were thrown into the endless subspace, leaving only the completely kinetic cannonballs to be smashed away by the ship's armor, and those attacks did not even leave a scratch.
Alan Bair wasn't surprised, he asked. "First mate, can you fire?"
The first mate nodded. "My lord, it's already within range of fire."
"Shoot them all, give them the ending." Alan Baier said ruthlessly.
