Chapter 556: Proud Son
The Weeper fleet under the command of the flagship of the Stormwoman is in orbit with One, orbiting the enemy front.
Captain Tessa on the bridge was observing the entire galaxy, and she sat on the command throne, her neck linked to the thin line extending from the throne, forming an effect similar to that of Captain Tyrone's direct communication with the battleship.
So Tessa was on the bridge, but she seemed to be above the entire fleet, and she soon saw the enemy fleet suddenly crossing the subspace from Mandeville Point in the northern part of the galaxy.
A massive plague fleet.
"End orbital bombardment, all hands are in combat mode!" Tessa's order spread throughout the fleet.
All the battleships finished the orbital bombardment, and the battleship crews immediately went to combat duty.
The battleships were taken over by Tessa, the frigates surrounded the strike cruisers, and the Storm Girl was in the middle of the array, forming a defensive formation to delay the charge of the dimensional engines.
The Plague Fleet led by Typhons on the opposite side saw the Weeper fleet, but due to the inefficient communication, only the battleships that really saw the enemy ships in front formed a battle formation at the first time, and the battleships in the rear were slowly assembled after the Bird Meter detected the enemy ships.
Typhons directly used his psionic energy to spread the order throughout the fleet, ordering the fleet to attack immediately.
"Blood-red hearts." Typhonse rose from the Flesh Throne and walked to the porthole, "Isn't this the flagship of our old friend Foros?" The fate of this flagship is either destroyed by us or snatched by us! ”
An entire crew of the Plague fleet heard the psionic communication of Typhons, and swarmed towards the Weeper fleet.
In such a situation of fighting with absolute numerical superiority, the fleet did not need to put up any formation at all, and it was necessary to rush up and open fire in full force in order to quickly resolve the battle.
The two fleets were firing at each other at a distance of millions of kilometers, and the light spears of both fleets, the fire of the artillery fire, and the torpedo groups rushing towards the opposing fleet could be seen on the surface of the planet.
The ships of the Plague Fleet took turns withstanding the torrent of particles from the Particle Light Spear, and the Void Shield deflected all of these attacks before they could overload.
As for those torpedoes, only a few of the battleship devourer torpedoes given by Nurgle's father broke through the interception and crashed into the Void Shield and were sent into subspace.
Compared to the Plague Fleet, the situation on the Weeper Fleet's side is a bit more difficult.
The massive number of attacks activated the energy shields of each battleship, and the energy that was normally maintained but not visually inspected turned into blue transparent spheres due to the violent attacks.
The array of close-in weapons was overloaded, shattering tens of thousands of torpedoes into the void.
"War Leader, the Astartes should return to the flagship immediately, and then we will evacuate." Tessa looked at Foros by the porthole.
At this time, Foros stood with his back to Tessa, staring at the various attacks that bombarded the energy shield.
The light is slightly dim.
Tessa couldn't see Foros's face and expression.
When the light of the cannon shells exploded on the shield reached the bridge, Foros's handsome face was illuminated by the firelight, and in the deep eye sockets was a gaze that was extremely determined.
"We can't retreat."
Foros's tone was very calm, as usual.
"It will take a little more time for the Grand Fleet to come over, and if we retreat before then, the enemy will loot civilians and then leave before our Grand Fleet arrives."
"The fighting on One-Onila must continue, and the civilians who are being protected by their fighting brothers must continue to be protected."
The current situation reminded Foros of a battle that nearly brought down the Weepers.
To protect a group of slaves, the Weepers fought to the point of near annihilation.
In the end, the slaves could not watch the Emperor Angels die because of themselves, and forcibly stayed and sacrificed themselves, so that the weepers lost the lives of the objects they protected, and then no longer made meaningless sacrifices and had to evacuate.
Many of the warbands are still thinking about that battle to this day.
What if the warband at that time had the strength it has now?
The answer is that not only will the slaves and civilians on the planet be saved, but the enemy will be annihilated, and no armed force can stand up to the seven hundred Terminator warriors.
But the problem is that you can't do it all over again.
At that time, the weepers had to face a tragic end, they had to make a choice, and if they still had to face a tragic end now, they also needed to consider whether to give up the civilians, or even let the civilians give up their lives for their sake...... That is to live up to the many generous help that the Lord of Tyrone has given.
"Launch a group of locating torpedoes." Foros turned to Tessa and gave orders, then walked over to the bridge armory to scan his iris.
The bridge armory opens, and the drone flies out of it, replacing Foros with his very own Terminator Warframe.
Tessa was already aware of what Forrose was going to do: "No, Captain, you shouldn't jump ...... gang"
"You are my captain, and you must obey my orders." As soon as Foros finished speaking, the helmet was placed on his head, and the visor part of the visor was closed.
A heavy footstep was heard on the bridge.
After the floodgates opened, a team of twenty Terminators stepped onto the bridge.
These twenty men were the guards of Foros.
His name is Proud Son.
The name comes from the name given to the weepers by the genogenone St. Giles himself.
When St. Giles' living metal body was sent to Baal, all the children rushed to Baal to meet their father.
St. Giles told everyone that he was proud and proud of being a son of the Weepers, so the name of the Foros Guard was chosen by St. Giles as the Proud Son, which was the name of the strongest fighters representing the entire Weeper Warband.
Each of the twenty soldiers who have fought since the founding of the warband is even older than Foross can become a warband leader, but the reason why they did not become warbands is that the previous warband commander chose Foros, and Foros proved to be better than anyone else in terms of leadership skills and can convince the veterans of the warband.
Each of the twenty warriors of the Pride Sons Guard has fought in all the warband's history and is alive to this day.
But this is because the Weepers have been chronically understaffed since their inception, and even the oldest veterans have to go into battle themselves.
Every piece of Terminator armor of every member of the Proud Sons Guard is improved and designed by the technical sergeant himself, and there are no two Guards Terminators that are the same.
"Our mission is to make sure that Typhons doesn't run away before the Grand Fleet arrives." Foros said to the proud sons.
