The heavy cruiser Silesian Wind was clustered in the middle of the Krenna fleet.

The operational tradition of the Imperial Navy was to divide a fleet into three parts: forward, middle, and rear. Small, light frigates or light cruisers served as the strikers, while auxiliary and logistical vessels were at the tail of the line, with the main ships and fleet flagships in the middle of the formation clustered in front and behind.

Normally, these core ships are the real main force of a naval fleet, and even in the most special circumstances, the captain of a capital ship needs to reach at least the rank of lieutenant general, and the commander of the fleet needs to carry the gold medal of the admiral.

The Krenna fleet moored over Space Base 1 was deployed in strict accordance with this formation, and the fleet commander, Admiral Genevia Limstella's heavy flagship, the Silesian Wind, was surrounded in the center of the fleet.

But this was not the case with the Sharp Fleet formation, which led the tide of chaos, and their flagship, the Pride of the Emperor, was at the front of the fleet, like a proud phoenix leading the hundred birds behind it, flapping its wings across the star dome.

Russell carried a silver-gray long knife in one hand and walked down the corridor through the macro cannon operation compartment, and saw several operators' calves twitching slightly.

"The psychological quality is good, and in this case, I haven't had a mental breakdown and wept bitterly." Russell nodded approvingly, and then thought about it: "It may also be that the pre-war mobilization is more powerful......"

Outside the porthole, the ominous fleet blessed by chaos had already pounced.

Imperial warships that have received the blessing of chaos are still imperial warships, and even the Glory Queen, the flagship of the original body, cannot enforce the law across the galaxy like a heavy artillery giant ship with the bow of the Spine Peak, so the beginning of a naval battle often begins with close quarters.

With the roar of engines, the Krenna fleet headed towards the Chaos Blade. But Admiral Genevia didn't order the Engine Prophet to overclock the Plasma Core to gain maximum speed, as he had done in other previous battles.

The disparity between the forces of the enemy and the enemy is too great, this is not a regular naval battle, and the Krenna fleet can only have the slightest possibility of dealing with the enemy if it is in the rubble belt and relies on the firepower of the geographical location and the asteroid military base.

It turned out that Genevia's judgment was correct...... Well, such an obvious thing doesn't need to be proven at all.

The loud sound of the cannon could not be heard in the vacuum, and the sailors in the cabin could not feel the violent vibration of the Void Shield when it was attacked, and thus the two fleets began a silent first wave of confrontation, or a unilateral crush.

Arrays of blazing plasma and lasers weaved a bright web of fire over Space Base 1, but it was easily torn apart by the overwhelming power of the Queen of Glory.

The high-spiral plasma shot from the Nova Cannon, along with countless macro cannon shells and spears of light, smashed into the Void Shield of the Emperor's Pride like a meteor shower, and sprinkled a handful of stones on the calm surface of the lake, causing large ripples of chaos.

However, the spilled stones have sunk to the bottom, but the surface of the lake has not broken.

In the face of the powerful Void Shield of the Glory Queen-class battleships, the firepower of the Krenna fleet was too poor to even break through the defenses.

Faced with this situation, one of the options of the Space Marine Warband was to send a jumper to bypass the Void Shield on board the ship torpedoes and directly attack the hull of the enemy ship, but at this moment, Genevia could not do so.

Even for the most elite Astarte monks, the Chaos Battleship is a desperate assault, not to mention that the only mortal armed forces that can be deployed in their hands are the Imperial Guard.

In the command room of the Silesian Wind, Guinavia gritted her teeth and watched as the formation of Krenna's fleet was overwhelmed by the Emperor's Pride, and the temporarily conscripted armed merchant ships were easily sunk because they did not have a Void Shield, and they could not even fire a single shot. Even serious naval warships equipped with Void Shields could not withstand the saturation blows from the Chaos Blade, and the strength of the Krenna fleet was rapidly reduced at a desperate rate.

In just one shallow encounter, the number of ships available to the Krenna fleet was less than 50.

Immediately afterwards, the main ship, which did not sink in the first round of confrontation, was boarded and jumped by the Chaos War Gang.

Generally speaking, there are two ways to fight the Space Jumper.

The first is to penetrate the hull of the enemy ship through the boarding torpedo and send the soldiers into it through the breach, and the attacking and defending sides will immediately start a space street battle in the cabin and corridor of the starship, killing a bloody way to the command center or engine room and other important areas.

The second is that your own warship physically gets close to the enemy ship, and teleports its soldiers directly into the enemy ship through a teleportation device - this battle is usually carried out by a Space Marine veteran wearing Terminator armor.

This is not only because the Terminator armor has a built-in teleportation function, but also because it is not very stable to enter with teleportation, and if you don't work well, you may get stuck in the wall, and if you are unlucky, you will directly enter the reactor and land into a box.

Because of the lack of stable armor in the forged world, the economic situation of the Chaos Warbs is generally not very good, and the expensive Terminator armor is one set less, so the gang raids on the main ships of the Krenna fleet are mostly entered through conventional armor piercing.

Underneath the entangled fleet, Asteroid 1 Space Base spews missile fire at the twisted Chaos Battleship. Klentarina's Gravel Belt has been under the care of the Mechanics for many years, and this asteroid base alone provides far more firepower than the entire Krenna fleet, and of the seven Chaos warships sunk since the start of the war, four were the result of Space Base 1.

Every Chaos Gang is well aware of the threat and importance of this huge war facility, so after the formation of the Krenna fleet was led by the Pride of the Emperor, only the "Silesian Wind", which is the flagship, and the vital Asteroid Base 1, together received the special privilege of being teleported by the Terminator Guard. Fierce battles broke out both inside the cabin and on the surface of the asteroid at the same time.

Russell closed his eyes and felt the vibration of the ship's hull with his own spirit, and the cry of tens of thousands of mortal soldiers on the asteroid who were not afraid of death.

In the midst of the battle, Russell truly realized what kind of general Admiral Ginevia Limstella was.

The battles in the Silesian winds and asteroid base 1 cannot even be called a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

Dressed in Terminator armor and blessed by Chaos, fallen Space Marines slaughter the mortal soldiers who swarm them like waves with overwhelming strength. The followers of the Blood God piled up a mountain of skulls out of severed heads; The warriors who believe in the Prince of Pleasure seek the most intense spiritual experience and sensory stimulation with mortal pain; Nurgle's corrupting mist spreads through the ship's cabin......

Soldiers who witnessed inhuman cruelty developed a massive war mentality, but very few retreated.

Because as early as the deployment stage before the start of the war, Genevia deliberately deployed the mortal legions recruited from Klentarina to the Asteroid Base 1 and the Silesian Wind, which are of the most important significance.

Among the spiritual factors that drove the soldiers to fight to the death were fear of the empire, loyalty to the emperor, and fanaticism for faith...... But most importantly, it was Klentarina behind them.

The natives of Klentarina were more justified and motivated than any other soldier to defend their homeland, and they knew exactly what they were fighting for and what they were dying.

The slogan they shouted as they charged was not "For the Emperor!" ", but "For our homeland!!" ”

Making good use of people's hearts is the proper quality of an excellent general.

Russell nodded slightly while holding the Huntress Blade, ready to launch a teleportation spell to go to the ground meat battlefield located in the power compartment.

But suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and Russell squinted his eyes and raised his head like a cat having found an interesting toy, his deep gaze as if he could pass through the steel hull and land directly on the bridge.

"Fogham? When it came. ”
