The Revenant Spike Horn is victorious. With one shot, he blew up a silver sword first.

This is the normal play of the Retribution-class battleships. This is the result of letting the X-class 'Heavenly Punishment' light spear array come and fire.

Moreover, on the Revenant Spike, there are weapons of the same level, and there are three X-level macro cannons.

The macro cannon of the same specification is much more powerful than the light spear array, but instead the hit rate is a cut worse.

There are also 18 L-class weapons that should not be underestimated, which is already as many as the three cruisers on the human side combined.

Such is the power of a battleship.

Of course, there is also a bit of luck in dropping a frigate in the event of a war. It's so far away, in fact, even if it's a light spear, it's not so easy to hit.

In fact, the three large cannons that were fired later, as well as multiple L-class weapons, were all empty, and only a few shots were hit, and no more damage was done.

In the process, the ships of both sides are getting closer.

'Revenant Spike' rushed at full speed towards the Combined Fleet that had come out of Sidehorse IV. As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the firepower hit rate of both sides also increased in the midst of the confrontation.

The losses on the side of the human fleet began to grow.

But at the same time, the Void Shield around the 'Revenant Spike' was also flickering frequently, gradually turning into a dangerous red. Even, some of the combined fleet's firepower can pass through the Void Shield and directly damage the armor and hull of the 'Revenant Spike'.

Of course, the strength of the Void Shield carried on the 'Revenant Spike' is very high, but it can't stand it and be beaten by one ship. There is no frigate to intercept fire, not even a small boat to block it, all the artillery fire of the combined fleet needs to be eaten by itself, no matter how strong the void shield is, it can't withstand such a bombardment.

Not to mention, the half of the fleet chasing after its ass is also constantly projecting fire on it.

But even so, the current results of the Alliance fleet are nothing more than the reddening of its Void Shield. The price paid was that in a short period of time, at least ten warships exploded into space junk.

Even the cheapest patrol ships cost more than 30 million ships, and ten ships are 300 million; Not to mention, the ships that exploded were not all patrol ships, including three frigates.

At this moment, the alliance's losses in naval battles have reached more than one billion.

The decisive naval battle is the most expensive thing.

Without the Tianma fleet being included in Gu Hang's account, and without the hundred-year accumulation of the Gu family's trading house, the ships that the alliance has saved in the past few years cannot afford to fight at all.

But even with such an exchange ratio, the seed Kihua who was on the 'Revenant Spike' was still not satisfied.

Does he care about knocking out a few small ships of the Alliance?

Of course not.

At his request, the battleship's powerful firepower was ferociously fired at the absolute core of the ship cluster in front of him, the cruiser.

However, a lot of firepower was intercepted. Even if it can't be intercepted, a few patrol ships will even pop up to block the knife.

After fighting for so long, I was stunned that I was unable to pose any definite threat to the cruiser.

However, at this distance, it has reached the level that Chongjihua wants.

The Wargang wizards, led by two hundred Space Marines, are already on standby in the four shipboard torpedoes.

Jumping directly through boarding torpedoes is an unconventional tactic for human navies. The boarding torpedo itself is not cheap, and if it is loaded with people and equipment, it will be even more expensive. In naval warfare, any accidents will occur during the flight before boarding, and it is easy to be intercepted. Once intercepted, they will be reimbursed together with the people and the ship, and the losses will be huge.

And because the space for boarding the torpedo is limited, the number of personnel and equipment that can be loaded in it is also limited, and it may not be able to fight it if it is boarded.

That's why the greenskins love to do this, they don't take their lives seriously, and their boarding torpedoes are too cheap to pay for.

The human fleet is not a good job, and although the Marine Corps is not very regarded by the navy masters, it always pays attention to the cost-effectiveness ratio.

But with the exception of Space Marine.

They are strong enough and elite enough that they can complete tasks that require large troops to do in very small numbers, and are perfectly suited to a battlefield with limited projection and narrow combat space, such as gang jumping.

There is only one problem that needs to be solved: the security of delivery.

Space marines are powerful, but they are also precious. It doesn't matter if a boarding torpedo is destroyed, if a shipload of Space Marines dies, then no one will be able to withstand it.

As a result, when each wargroup is playing the gang war, it can be said that they have their own magic in this link, that is, they are trying their best to accurately and safely send people to the enemy ship.

Some work the boarding torpedo to make it strong and flexible, or become stealthy and will not be detected by detection, plus multiple batches and many false targets to hide the real boarding torpedo...... In short, it is to spend more money;

Some play with psionic teleportation, which is more accurate, but it is also more demanding, and it is also risky, and it is easy to be deflected by anti-teleportation devices.

The approach taken by the 'Ashes Dead' is a combination of the two.

Tane Kihua on the bridge stared at the hordes of Alliance ships in front of him, with madness in his eyes.

He ordered loudly: "Go!" ”

Immediately afterward, more than 20 torpedoes were suddenly released from the 'Revenant Spike'.

Of these, most of course are fake, and there are only four of them with a full load of ashes of the dead.

Of course, the intercepting fire of the coalition fleet was directly exerted, and many of the onboard torpedoes were destroyed by the intercepting fire.

The four genuine boarding torpedoes loaded with the ashes of the dead actually took some firepower. But the four onboard torpedoes, all equipped with small energy shields, blocked the attack.

Of course, this leads to them being exposed.

But it doesn't matter.

In an instant, the scarlet light enveloped the four boarding torpedoes, and suddenly, they vanished.

The next moment, four boarding torpedoes appeared in the Opera's void shield at the same time!

Then they slammed into the hull of the Opera.

The incomparably hard conical front end of the boarding torpedo broke through the ship's armor, and then a miniature explosion occurred by the way, which provided a good space for the fighters in the rear compartment of the torpedo to attack when the warhead was detached.

Immediately afterwards, a total of 200 renegade Space Marines rushed out of the four boarding torpedoes.

In a very short period of time, they were able to wipe out the surrounding enemy.

There are usually 100,000 people in a cruiser like the Opera. A considerable part of this is the so-called 'crew world', that is, people who were born on ships, the previous generation or even the previous generation, are crew members. They belonged to the ship servants, and there were also some families of technical officials.

These people are the key to building a ship that can be driven and can maintain itself during long-term voyages. At the bottom of the starship, it is even equivalent to a closed, self-circulating society.

The ships on the Pegasus fleet are not particularly obvious in this regard, and some sailors are still able to retire and leave the ships and replenish new ones from the terrestrial planets.

After all, they have been stationed in their lair for a long time.

But there are ships in the Empire that are on a mission all year round, constantly making long voyages in space. The so-called 'crew family', it is really common for several generations to have never left the ship, marry each other, and live in the ship for the rest of their lives.

But whether they are recruited or those who have been on ships all year round, these people, who are mainly sailors, workers, and servants, obviously do not have much combat effectiveness.

Even when the war is raging, they will be given weapons.

After the ashes of the dead successfully boarded the ship, the first wave of resistance came from these armed sailors, the size of which was in the thousands, and it was natural that they were swept away.

Then, instead of continuing their onslaught, the renegade Space Marines waited a little in place for two minutes.

At this time, more boarding torpedoes came in.

Although these boarding torpedoes did not have the help of the Wargang wizards, they did not have the ability to teleport, and they lost a lot when they broke through the interceptive fire in front. Among them, the moment of loss is when slowing down through the Void Shield.

Of the sixteen onboard torpedoes, only three eventually arrived.

This probability is very low and significantly lower than normal.

Just because on the battlefield now, the ships of the alliance only have the target of 'Revenant Spikes', and when the boarding torpedo appears, naturally quite a lot of interception firepower will be attracted.

From this point of view, it is already very good to be able to successfully board the ship three times.

And on the torpedoes of these three ships, a total of 1,500 people came down. All of them were dressed in black and red combat uniforms, and a high proportion of them wore exoskeletons.

These people belong to the servant army of the ashes dead.

After meeting up with the real ashes of the dead, a total of seventeen hundred, began to march towards the interior of the opera.

In the process, the team in the opera is also gathering.

In addition to the ordinary crew, there were 20,000 marines out of the 100,000 people on board, and they were even equipped with armored vehicles, sentry mechs, and the like.

The combat effectiveness of these troops is, of course, much stronger than the sailors of the ships that came up in the first wave before.

However, as the Ash Dead marched with their elite auxiliaries, the Marines were once again miserably in the background.

The armored vehicles, which blocked the main passage inside the ship, were destroyed by the plasma guns of the ashes of the dead, and then quickly pushed away and dismantled. Immediately afterwards, the Terminator team among the ashes of the dead rushed out of the gap in stride, withstanding the bombardment of the semi-stationary machine battery behind them, and using hand-held grenade launchers to remove all these human firepower points.

After the passage was cleared, the troops immediately followed, and in front of them, another team of Marine Sentinel Mechs appeared, but this time they were directly cleared by the renegade Space Marines with explosive guns.

Under the guidance of the Space Marines, the entire team moved forward, although fast and slow, but on the whole it was quite smooth, and resolutely headed towards the bridge of the ship.

The bridge command is the command center of a battleship and the brain of the battleship. Once there, they can take over most of the ship's control.

At the same time, it is also possible to use the public address system for the entire ship here, allowing Wargang wizards to quickly spread chaos and corruption.

This is a temporary method and is not suitable for large-scale use. But in the critical, closed environment of the ship, it is quite effective.

This trick has been used many times in the past, and they are familiar with it.

Snatching a ship is such a simple thing.

The commander of this ash of dead people, Anconi Ben, even found it a little bored. He said: "There is nothing special about this so-called alliance. ”

"It's no different from the other Imperial ships."

"Didn't you say that there are immortal birds? Why didn't it show up? If those wild seeds and recruits who don't know where they came from, they can also relieve our boredom. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly received information.

An auxiliary army group, arranged on the flanks, said that they were routed.

At first, I thought it was just the elite of a Marine Corps.

After all, the marines on those ships also have a large number of sentry mechs. Although the auxiliary army deployed on the side is of a very high level and is blessed by the Chaos Divine Power, it is normal for them to be defeated under the enemy's numerical superiority.

The commander quickly deployed support, and another auxiliary unit rushed over to close the hole.

But soon, that squad was wiped out. At the same time, a new situation came: it was not just the Marines who defeated them, but a group of Space Marines wearing scarlet power armor!

Now, I already feel excited!

It's boring to say, but it turns out that something interesting is coming, isn't it?

However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided not to make any extraneous branches.

Their most urgent task at the moment is to occupy the bridge first.

Wait until you occupy it, let the wizards of the wargang do what they need to do, and their main force will stay inside the bridge.

Those 'recruit eggs' and 'wild seeds', if they want to do something, then naturally, they will launch an active attack on the bridge. When the time comes, they will set up a defensive line on the bridge and just wait for work.

In his opinion, it is normal for some space marines to appear on this cruiser. But the quantity, it shouldn't be a lot.

However, the subsequent news made him alert.

On the side of the other direction, there was also a trace of the appearance of the undead bird Space Marine.

Then, the frontal assault troops also said that they had encountered the obstruction of the immortal birds, and the attack was limited.

"How many people are there?"

Anconi Ben already felt that something was wrong.

But if that's all he wants, he's just feeling bad and nervous. Even if they had a hundred, or even two hundred, immortal birds in front of them, so what?

These new immortal birds, as he put it, are 'recruit eggs'. According to their standards, a group of people who have just become Space Marines for a maximum of ten years, what is there to be afraid of!
