The naval battle on the I-3 actually didn't really break out.

The commander of the combined fleet knew that he could not fight, and he would certainly not fight hard. They broke away directly from the orbit of the planet and ran with their tails between their legs.

And the demonic Retribution-class battleship didn't come to pursue them.

It just approached the I-3 and fired a few shots at the surface before dropping the transport ship and landing on the ground.

Soon, these transport ships returned to it. Immediately after that, the battleship left the planet's orbit and sailed into the distance.

The frightened ships of the Alliance Navy also came back to their senses at this time.

This battleship should belong to the rebel wargroup that has appeared on the ground. It came out and went to the orbit of the planet, I'm afraid it was just to pick up the warband.

This rebel wargroup doesn't seem to want to take over the planet.

They should be able to clearly understand that with their strength, even with a battleship in hand, they will not be able to compete head-on with the Alliance, especially on the ground.

So what is the purpose of their troubles?

Judging from what happened before, I'm afraid it just wants to lure the real immortal bird to arrive.

And they did.

They tricked two undead squads into landing on the ground and falling into their clutches.

And what do they want genuine immortal birds for?

I'm afraid it's for the sake of genetic seeds.

After getting the information from the front line, Gu Hang judged it this way.

Even, even their identities, Gu Hang already had a guess, and felt that there was a high probability that there would be no mistake: the stain of the immortal birds, the renegade gang called the 'Ashes Dead'.

After learning about the existence of this war gang from the mouths of Sidney Brevins's immortal bird deserters, Gu Hang felt that these guys would come to trouble the alliance sooner or later.

The reputation of the Alliance is growing, and the news of the Immortal Bird taking advantage of the Alliance's resurgence is becoming more and more known.

The leader of the traitor named Tan Ki Hua has an extraordinary pursuit of the immortal bloodline. He's going to come looking for trouble, it's almost a given.

It's just that he came at a bad time. Most of the Alliance's current energy is still involved in the frontline battlefield with the Greenskins. Suddenly there is a fire in the backyard, and it will definitely be scrambling.

Perhaps, Chong Jihua deliberately chose to do it at this time.

But Gu Hang was not unprepared.

Since the war with the Greenskins, Gu Hang has been very cautious about the use of Space Marines. He did not blindly throw the most elite forces at hand into the battlefield because of the fierce fighting on the front line.

On the one hand, it's not that time yet.

On the other hand, Gu Hang had to use the immortal bird to make some necessary precautions.

Rather than letting the elite warriors such as the immortal birds go to the frontal battlefield to consume, it is better to retain their strength for the necessary blow at a critical moment.

It's just that the opportunity to strike a necessary blow didn't come out, and what Gu Hang had been guarding against happened first.

It seems that Yelicia will not be able to come to pick him up, nor will she be able to immediately go north to participate in the Battle of Temir.

Even, Gu Hang himself had to go to the Iron Horse in person.

The matter of the Iron Horse Star Zone must be resolved.

The relationship between this renegade gang and the immortal bird is something that Gu Hang can't ignore;

At the same time, it was impossible for Gu Hang to let the renegade gang who was suspected of being the 'Ashes Dead' toss in his rear.

They have about two or three hundred renegade space marines, they believe in evil gods, and they also have a battleship, which means that they must have at least ten or two hundred thousand people on board......

Fighting a frontal battle, leaving aside the battleship, this mutinous wargroup is not qualified; But counting the battleships and the risk that they are likely to cooperate with the separatist forces on many planets, if they are not cleaned up, Gu Hangda's rear will be turned upside down.

Of course, he won't just go on his own.

A message changed hands and was sent to Martins.

……

A month later, the Iron Horse Star Zone, the Tiedong II Galaxy.

There are three Star Tunnels connecting the system, leading to Tiedong III, Tiedong I, and Bianma IV in the Bianma Star Zone.

The battleship 'Revenant Spike' is heading to the Sidehorse IV Hop Point.

Or rather, fleeing.

Behind their ass, there is a combined fleet of humans chasing.

Although the battleship was fierce, there was a flaw in the 'Retribution class', which could not be remedied: it was slow and inflexible.

Although the firepower, thick armor, and very high energy level of the Void Shield make this kind of main battleship with the largest number of services in the empire enough to serve as an absolute offensive and defensive core in a large-scale fleet decisive battle, it also needs a large number of coordinated frigates to escort him.

And now, next to the 'Revenant Spike', there is no such formation.

If so, they did not dare to directly confront the Combined Fleet.

For the past month, there have been small boats following their butts, watching their movements. Whenever they wanted to turn their heads and hit someone, these boats would take advantage of their fast running and nimble steering to slip away; And when they turn around, the boat will follow.

The leader of the 'Ashes Dead', Tan Ki Hua was annoyed.

He even ordered the ships to stop at the other side of the hop after a stellar jump, ready to ambush the ships that had completed the jump after them.

However, this plan also failed.

The boat, which had been following their buttocks, had not made the jump at all; Instead, on this side of the Astral Tunnel, there was another small boat, staring at them from afar.

It doesn't matter if our boat is small, just more.

If you can't catch up, you can't fight, and you can't get rid of it, that's the only way to go.

At first, Chong Jihua was actually just annoying, but not dangerous.

Just stare at it.

What else can you do with me?

It's nothing more than being scared and spying on him. And when he did have to do something, there was nothing he could do with the boats.

However, by now, he already felt that something was wrong.

The long-term surveillance was enough, and the wizard on his ship had given him information many times, telling him that there were a large number of ships shuttling in the astral tunnels around Tiedong II.

What do you want to do?

Encircle me?

It looks like it's true.

If you start a battle and fight hard, with three cruisers as the main force, a fleet of hundreds of ships in total, and a lone retribution-class battleship, who will win and who will lose?

It's hard to say, the winning rate of the latter may be less than 20%.

Before, he felt that the so-called 'alliance' should not really fight with him.

Defeat him, so what? The combined fleet had to pay the price of at least half of the ship's losses, and most of the cruisers' main force had to lose two.

Is it worth paying such a big price?

You're still at war with the Greenskins.

That's right, of course Chongjihua knows this information.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have come.

It was precisely because the Alliance was at war, and it seemed that the war was still raging, that he was here.

What he wanted was indeed as Gu Hang had guessed: the genetic seeds of the immortal birds.

The Ashes of the Dead are a group of deserters from the undead who surrendered to the Chaos Gods. Back then, the people who planted Jihua just felt that the immortal bird would definitely perish, and it was pointless to stay, and they would only die with the war group.

It's all the Empire's fault, it's clear that the Immortal Bird is fighting for the Empire, and Iron Armor is the traitor. But in the end, they were betrayed by the Empire and sentenced to an expedition of atonement, leaving them with the fate of dying in the expedition.

So, they rebelled, they threw themselves into the evil gods, and took the name of 'the ashes of the dead'.

In the ashes of the phoenix, the dead return from hell with vengeful rage.

That's what the new name means.

However, who would have thought that the immortal bird did not die at all?

Not only did they not die, but over the years, with the support of the 'alliance' that came out of nowhere, they have grown stronger and stronger, and even faintly have a tendency to return to what they once were.

How can these people accept this?

We made the wrong choice back then?

That's impossible!

In order to prove that they were not on the wrong side, Chong Jihua took his war gang to the Eastern Celestial Domain and the Dragon Eagle Star Domain.

Here, it's time to expand the size of the warband. Here are their most coveted, blood-related genetic seeds; At the same time, they are also looking for opportunities and ways to destroy this human force that spans nearly a hundred worlds.

With their power alone, of course, that won't work.

But isn't there a green skin?

As long as enough damage is done in the rear, it will be done.

So, there was the thing on the chivalrous I-3.

Through the wizards, they corrupted the Alliance agents they captured, passed on false information, and sent two teams of undead birds down.

The two teams of immortal birds, a total of twenty people, the final end was certainly not wonderful.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the immortal bird is not weak, but the ashes dead are also full veterans. With mental calculations and unintentionalities, with ten times the number of troops, it is too normal to beat that group of new immortal birds, and it is too normal that they can't even spread the news.

It's a pity that the so-called alliance still reacts quickly.

They can only run.

I thought I could rely on the big ship and run away easily, but it didn't seem to work.

But until now, Chong Jihua still can't believe that the alliance really dares to take out their precious fleet to encircle and suppress themselves.

However, he was not unprepared for this.

The order was given, and the Revenant Spike was still heading towards Sidehorse IV.

If the fleet of the alliance does not dare to go to war, then swagger away; And once the war starts...... Then come on.

First, the Revenant Spike will be able to blow up almost half of the Alliance fleet;

Of course, the Revenant Spike will be finished.

But so what?

They're Space Marines!

In the middle of the battle, they can make the Revenant Spike dash and get close to the cluster of the Alliance fleet. If you want to ask what the most powerful weapon on the Retribution-class battleship is, it is probably not a light spear array, nor an oversized grand cannon, but an ancient 'ramming horn' equipped on the bow of the ship.

Relying on the huge size, the Retribution-class battleship rushed down, and any ship smaller than it would be smashed into pieces; And it itself, protected by the impact angle, will not cause any damage.

Of course, this is not a conventional weapon, and no one uses it as a decisive weapon in a real naval battle. The so-called 'angle collision', the biggest role is still decorative.

However, if the fight does get on, he doesn't intend to make the bumper a mere decoration.

Heavy artillery, ramming angles, can all play a role.

And once the ships of both sides approach, the 'Ash Dead' gang can use their biggest tactic: gang hopping tactics!

Whether it's through the gang-jumping spaceship after getting close, or simply through the former think tank in the warband, and now the wargang wizards, the subspace teleportation is carried out directly.

Once on the other side's ship, they can seize control of the ship, and they can use the Wargang Wizard to summon the Chaos Divine Power to quickly corrupt the crew.

It only took a short time for them to be able to 'snatch the ship'.

Then you can continue to play.

Such a means can be used many times in a row.

How many ships does the alliance have for them?

Once they become one, if there is one less in the alliance, they will have one more, and the frigate that the 'Revenant Spike' lacks will come, won't it?

It would have been even worse if they had taken down the main cruiser of the Combined Fleet.

All in all, for Tan Kihua, if you want to fight, then come on!

And the whole state of affairs really developed as he thought.

When the Revenant Spike approached the Astral Tunnel Hop to Sidepony IV, a fleet jumped out of it.

At the same time, behind them, from the Hop Point of Iron Horse I, a group of Alliance ships also appeared.

They belonged to the same team, and the strategy of attacking from both sides was also developed by the commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Elisia.

Keep your distance from both sides, and prepare for an encirclement attack without being attacked by the Revenant Spike.

In this situation, Chongjihua has completely ignored other considerations.

He ordered again, informing all members of the warband:

"Get ready for battle, let's have a good time!"

And his brothers also gave him feedback clearly: "Roar! ”

He shouted again: "Blood sacrifice to the blood god!" ”

The communication channel also immediately responded: "Cranial donation!" ”

Under the high morale and bloody shouts of the ashes dead, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

The Revenant Spike was the first to fire.

It has a longer range than any ship in the Alliance.

And this also caught the coalition fleet by a little surprise. There was a 'Silver Sword-class' frigate, which was hit.

The X-class light spear array instantly melted the energy shield outside the silver sword, and opened a big hole in the ship without much less power.

The silver sword suddenly lost its power and spun through space; Then, after another half a minute, there was an even more violent explosion inside the silver sword, and the volley became a large fireball.
