Chapter 187: New Badab Raiders
At this moment, Wei Mu didn't know what terrifying darkness was silently attacking him.
He is leading the Imperial army against the surging tide of subspace into the depths of the maelstrom.
As is often the case, such an act is a very dangerous thing to do.
Even a giant warship with a size of tens of kilometers can still be swept away by the terrifying subspace turbulence, and the majestic force of nature is far from being conquered by human technology today.
Ships unfortunate enough to face such a situation are often lost in subspace for centuries until they reappear as a space waste full of demonic parasites.
Lost in subspace is death, and this is the basic consensus of all interstellar travelers, and few can be an exception.
But if you can get the first astrologer of space necromancy as a navigator, it's a whole other story.
His ability to see the future allows him to take the helm with precision.
Under the guidance of Orikan, the Imperial army braved the tides of subspace and marched forward angrily, all seemingly thrilling, but there was no actual crisis.
Obviously, this rib alien has taught the Empire a good lesson, and the captains have said that they have never driven such an exciting ship.
But the people were still more frightened, for fear that he would take the whole fleet into the ditch with one mistake.
"Do we really need to be in such a hurry?"
The Mantis Warriors' think tank leader always had the feeling that they were staking the fate of the entire army, and that such a way of marching was a little too aggressive, and there was a more secure way in front of them.
"I've already said that the timing of the attack is very important and I don't want to repeat it a third time."
Orikan was very confident in his skills, and the subspace fluctuations that were happening in front of him seemed to him to be nothing more than insignificant small winds and waves.
Redes, the director of the think tank, didn't know what the space necromantic astrologer had talked about with his own festival envoy during the previous period of backtracking, and it was very uncomfortable to be kept in the dark.
But since things have developed to this point, they can only bite the bullet.
During the time they were on the road, astrologers and psykers had been observing the movements of the subspace, while others gathered around the conference table, discussing plans for an attack on New Badab.
Thanks to the information provided by the clowns, they have a general idea of the defensive deployment of the enemy's lair.
Thousands of ships of all sizes will be their main problem, and those infused with the power of Chaos, despite their lack of optimal maintenance, are not much worse than the Imperial side in terms of performance.
If Blackheart Huron really had that idea, he could use this power to pierce through any area near the Maelstrom.
However, the Imperial Navy brought out by Wei Mu was much larger.
This is also the reason why the Red Pirates can do it, but they don't really implement it - it's not that they don't have that ambition, but they can fight it, but they can't hold it, rather than wasting their strength in vain, it is better to just grab a wave and run.
"In terms of space warfare, our fleet is in an advantageous position, try to strike at the enemy through air combat, but pay attention to defending against the enemy's gang fighting, and currently our number of Space Marines is not as good as the Red Pirates."
As a clone, Fugen is naturally the commander of this war.
Just like the quest for perfection, he always gets the most out of his limited hand.
If he can win this decisive battle beautifully and completely clear the threat of the maelstrom for the empire, then he will become more confident when he meets Killiman in the future.
"The battle on Cologne is over, our reinforcements are coming, and I've sent a message to those warbands that have had combat operations in the Maelstrom before, and I don't know if they will respond."
Wei Mu thought that there was a rare opportunity, and called everyone to take revenge together, and revenge with resentment, such as White Scar and Flame Angel and other warbands that had been made quite miserable by the Red Pirates before, and several of them would most likely follow after receiving the news.
Of course, it is also possible that these warbands are facing other threats in the galaxy and cannot be withdrawn for a while.
In this regard, Wei Mu can only say that it is a real pity for them not to be able to witness such a great cause.
Then there is the famous Blackstone Fortress, on which the Red Pirates have placed several large cultist legions and countless powerful cannons.
While the Red Pirates can't harness the true power of this ancient creation, the mere use of what is left of them, along with the fortress's own defenses, is enough to make it one of the most powerful military fortresses in the galaxy.
"This goal will be tackled by me personally." Fogen stared at the model of the fortress projected on the conference table, "I need the Weepers to come with me." ”
The clone naturally chose this most difficult bone to gnaw.
The others, although unhappy with Fogen's identity, had to admit his strength, and that he was able to minimize the losses of the attack.
As for why he chose the Weepers, it was mainly because on the Crimson Star, Fogen's debut was to fight side by side with them, helping them withstand the crazy breakthrough of the Chaos Lord Chuck, and even the warband leader Foros still owes Fogen a life, so when he summons these space marines, the resistance should not be too great.
In addition, there is another reason that Fugen listened to Wei Mu's evaluation of the weepers, if the worst thing always happens to the weepers, then with them, there is a high probability that you will be able to meet the enemy's main general.
The remaining targets to be conquered are those defensive platforms in the planet's orbit, and there are more than a dozen of them.
Fogen assigned all of those targets to various companies of Space Marines.
Everyone knew the importance of this battle, and they all said that they would rather die than win, and their will to fight was extremely high.
and the Red Pirates' lair, New Badab itself.
Wei Mu did not intend to engage in a scorching ground battle with the Red Pirates.
Because even if that planet is defeated, it will not mean anything to the Empire.
What it needs is total destruction.
So when it was time to set off, Wei Mu specially prepared three dozen whirlwind torpedoes for it, without the slightest hint of giggling.
As long as they can break through the defensive blockade in space and allow the Tornado to be successfully released, the Imperial side can easily destroy the Red Pirates' hometown.
Even if these Chaos traitors had some evil spell to protect the entire planet, such a high-intensity bombardment would overload their sorcery.
This is true of the old adage that all fear comes from a lack of firepower.
What's more, the Red Pirates have always been very restrained in their quest for the power of Chaos, and now that the war is imminent, even if they want to sell themselves to Chaos completely, it will be a little too late.
The existence of the Clones gave the Imperial side a huge amount of support, so that they didn't even need to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and they still had the strength to fight a decisive battle with the enemy.
The whole battle plan is clear and perfect, as long as all links are executed in place, it is the death of the Red Pirates.
"And the most important point is that the festival makes your personal safety a problem." Neotra the old mantis reminded, "There is no doubt that the enemy will arrange some kind of special treatment for you. ”
"Just leave a company of praying mantis warriors by my side, not to mention the protection of these clowns, the security problem should not be big, compared to this, you can quickly defeat the enemy is the greatest guarantee for my safety."
Wei Mu smiled and motioned for the Space Marines to focus on their mission and not be distracted by other things.
He already had a premonition of the difficulties and dangers ahead, and he felt that he had the ability to overcome the other party.
Or to put it another way, in order for this galaxy not to continue to rot, he must outperform the other party.
