Chapter 270 Bureau
In the endless black void, distorted spots of light tore open the curtain of reality, and a huge fleet sailed out.
Fu Qinghai first took stock of the forces in his hands.
Fu Qinghai, Qiao Shida, and Kamil can barely be counted as three Astartes veterans, with more than 300 young recruits. The good news is that the recruits have all undergone new fully alienated transformations, and are all equipped with MK8 anti-rebellion power armor. , no longer need to take turns to wear them like before.
This kind of strength is far beyond the strength of a company. The number of companies stipulated in the Codex Astartes is one hundred Space Marines.
The fact is that Fu Qinghai and others never paid attention to the "Holy Code" from the beginning.
In terms of battleships, there is an Emperor-class battleship, an Enforcer-class system control cruiser, and the rest are transport ships and factory ships without combat capabilities.
Originally, Fu Qinghai also had a frigate, a sword-class frigate captured from the Thorndike family in Schwerin, but this retired warship from the navy was too old, so Fu Qinghai left it at the Saturn Shipyard. After renovation, the crew also stayed behind, preparing to return to the hive on their own after renovation.
Yes, Fu Qinghai didn't think much of this frigate. It had neither a transfer deck nor a drop pod launch port, and it didn't meet the functional positioning of a space warrior. Fu Qinghai decided to leave it to Koshvitto as a planetary garrison. battleship.
On the flight deck of the Emperor-class battleship, there are Land Raiders, Rhino troop carriers and Predator tanks captured from the Iron Warriors. These land vehicles are of no help to the space naval battle. Only two Thunderhawk gunships serve as a few There is not much air combat power, a Bullock jet motorcycle, which can be regarded as Fu Qinghai's personal carrier aircraft.
The Suzheng is not equipped with a complete carrier-based aircraft squadron and cannot play the role of an aircraft carrier for the time being.
"Activate all detection arrays."
Fu Qinghai stood on the bridge and ordered.
In front of him, the crew members were working at various rune consoles, scanning the dark space in front of them with a variety of measuring tools and divination devices.
The flight command bridge is a spacious hall, with buzzing holographic projections and green-light rune screens neatly arranged in the corridors on both sides of the command hall. Fixed-in-place servitors connect every supervisor on the ship. system.
A small screen in the corner displays the ship's current course and speed. The wide hall is divided into two at its rear, with an ordnance station and a survey station on both sides. Naval officers in red and white uniforms stand in each space. Busy inside.
A giant observation dome composed of diamond-shaped panes and armored glass decorates the ship's spine and occupies the front of the bridge, giving an unobstructed view of the entire command hall, allowing people to observe the vastness above them without restraint. starry sky.
It is beautiful and shocking to have such a battleship.
"Three Ork warships and one Imperial ship."
A crew member loudly reported:
"The imperial ship has been identified as the Conqueror-class interstellar voyage ship 'Emperor's Coin'. Judging from the plasma energy readings, the three orc warships should be two assault ships and one gunboat, Khan."
Imperial ships can identify the ship's engine code, displaying everything from model to name, while Orc warships, like their land vehicles, are full of a lot of weird modifications and haphazard patchwork, which can only be seen through the plasma energy at the tail of the warship. Take the reading to roughly determine the tonnage.
It's really an orc battleship...
"Have they spotted us?"
"The enemy fleet shows no movement in position and no change in plasma energy readings, Khan."
The crew member in charge of measuring replied.
This means that the enemy is unaware of it.
This is the advantage of the Emperor-class battleship.
Fu Qinghai described the Suzheng as a "giant radar ship", which is not without reason. The engagement distance of space naval battles can often reach tens of thousands of kilometers. For proper beyond-visual-range combat, of course, you cannot rely on visual detection of the enemy. The Emperor-class battleship is filled with various detection arrays. Although it moves slowly, it is "discovered by the enemy first." However, the huge advantage of "fire first, destroy the enemy first" cannot be ignored.
Fu Qinghai touched his chin and asked casually:
"Lin Yu, if you were the commander, what would you do?"
Lin Yu, who stood behind him, puffed up his chest and replied:
"When a lion fights a rabbit, use all your strength. I will send the faster Liima to go around the enemy's rear first and block the enemy's escape route. The Suzheng will launch a volley of light spears at the three orc warships and penetrate the enemy." The ship's void shield and macro-cannon concentrated fire covered it, completely destroying it. The Fiery Horse approached the Conquest-class star sea voyager, and the Space Marines launched a gang jump to rescue the trapped crew."
"That's it, Khan."
A solid plan with no faults to be found.
But Fu Qinghai shook his head.
He calmly ordered:
"To deal with these shabby warships, the Liima is enough... Qiao Shida!"
"Yes, Khan!"
The Moon Wolf warrior stood at attention and roared.
"You will lead two hundred Space Marines, including Apothecary Camille, on board the Fierce Horse to deal with these three Orc warships. It is up to you to decide what action and strategy you will adopt during the entire mission."
"Yes, Khan!"
…
Joestar had already assembled his troops, piloted the light cruiser Liema, turned around and galloped towards the green-skinned battleship.
Fu Qinghai stood in front of the bridge, looking at the green-skinned warships on the screen. The three warships hovering in space were outlined into several light spots in the detection array, and were controlled by the automatic stabilization logic on the gun deck of the Suzheng. The sight is locked firmly.
"Jamming macro cannon, three rounds, volley!"
Seeing that Liema had entered a reasonable maneuvering position, Fu Qinghai ordered a salvo of broadside macrogun fire, intending to gain a tactical advantage for Joe Star and at the same time indicate his tactical target.
I believe Lao Qiao will understand.
Yes, any green-skin creation, including green-skin warships, has almost no use value to humans. However, these are three pirate warships that have appeared in the empire. If there is no guarantee that there will be any stolen goods inside, Fu Qinghai does not intend to directly Beat them into a few pieces of space junk, but have to loot them first.
If Chen Xinlu were here right now, she would definitely complain in her heart: Someone who wants to rob even the Orcs must be a little bit crazy.
A salvo of macro cannons caused the ship to shake slightly, like a giant whale in the void gently shaking its body.
The giant cannonball disappeared into the deep void.
However, Fu Qinghai's next order was somewhat confusing to Lin Yu behind him.
He ordered in turn:
"Shut down, plasma drive."
"Close, void shield array."
"closure……"
As several necessary components that consume the most energy in the battleship were shut down in sequence, the faint vibrations and subtle noises coming from deep inside the ship gradually disappeared. The huge sets of nozzles and dazzling flames at the tail of the battleship slowly extinguished, and the complex transmissions all over the ship In the pipeline, a large amount of energy redundancy was released.
"Activate, the curtain of the supreme sky."
Fu Qinghai said in a deep voice.
Many people who have lived on the surface all their lives will find the idea of hiding something as huge as a spaceship to be ridiculous and nonsense.
However, most residents on the surface have no idea how vast space is. A twelve-kilometer-long battleship is just a drop in the ocean in the vast void.
With the right energy baffles and advanced shielding to mask the energy signature, a spacecraft can become a detection hole in the void.
The invisible force field spread and enveloped the entire battleship.
The Suzheng, this majestic behemoth visible to the naked eye, is still hovering quietly in the deep black sky.
But in the sight of the augur...
It disappears.
Fu Qinghai sat back on the captain's chair, his back armor pressed against the backrest, and his arms resting on the armrests.
Issue the last order to all ship personnel:
"Wait patiently."
…
Light cruiser Lima.
As Fu Qinghai's first subordinate, and also the captain of the first tactical team designated by Fu Qinghai, and the first company commander of the future battle group, Qiao Shida knew what Fu Qinghai wanted when he saw the Suzheng's salvo firing to interfere with the macro artillery. result.
He lay in front of the detection array and squinted his eyes to observe the shooting results of the jamming macro cannon. As the distance between the two gradually increased, the status of the imperial ship was also displayed on the screen - a huge Conquest-class star sea voyage ship. Stopped in place, two violent impact boats were inserted in different directions on the ship, like a clumsy elephant being besieged by ferocious hyenas.
"Two Onslaught-class assault ships and one Savage-class gunboat."
Qiao Shida identified the opponent's battleship model.
The Moon Wolf warrior is an experienced veteran with hundreds of years of experience. He knows that the characteristics of green skinned warships are thick frontal armor, thin side armor, and almost no tail armor. As for additional facilities, it depends on the junk that the greenskins can pick up. When you reach the Void Shield, you will get the Void Shield. If you pick up the Nova Cannon, you will get the Nova Cannon.
The Macro Cannon's attack arrived instantly. Seeing the signal peaks of the three green-skinned warships weakening one after another, Joestar shouted loudly:
"Full speed ahead!"
After saying that, he turned around and quickly headed to the teleportation deck.
The two hundred Space Marines on the teleportation deck were already fully armored, lined up, and ready to go. Joestar strode past them and shouted:
"The military situation is urgent. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you need some kind of pre-war speech or motivation to go all out, then get out of this battleship!"
"Spearhead, follow me and torpedo!"
"Bang bang...yes!"
Everyone beat their chests and shouted.
I don’t know how long it will take for the green-skinned warship to recover from the paralysis after being hit by the interference macro cannon. Joestar led the Space Marines to get into the torpedo launch bay one by one. After several muffled sounds, the torpedoes dragged a long trail. , shooting straight at the three green-skinned warships.
Facing the fast-attacking torpedoes, the green-skinned battleship's close-in defense guns and rapid-fire guns showed no response.
The melt-blasting warhead of the first torpedo blasted through the weak side armor, and the haphazardly stacked and welded armor plates were like paper, being pierced hard by the thick and long torpedo.
The torpedo plowed deep ravines on the deck, crushing three or five unlucky farts without eyes. The thick side hatch opened with a bang, and a giant with weapons and ceramite armor emerged from it, but it was just a mere sight. The two of them seemed alone.
"Waaaaaaaagh!"
The green-skinned boys picked up the tutu guns and six-gun blasts in their hands, and swarmed forward with howls and screams. Their eyes were red, their fangs were trembling and open, eager to kill people and drink blood.
The massacre began.
The first green-skinned kid was blown away by a punch. His stocky body was slammed against the wall. His skull was cracked and his brains were flowing out. His death was so fast that he didn't even have time to loosen his grip on the trigger. The simple horn The gun was still spraying clouds of pellets.
The second green boy charged, and the dense bullets fired from the twin boom guns bounced off the ceramite giant until the gun clicked. The green pirate gripped the butt of the gun and struck hard with the serrated bayonet hanging from it. He stabbed forward, but the giant ducked sideways, and then sealed his throat with a claw.
The slender steel claws flashing with blue electric arcs were lifted up, and the green boy's thick neck and huge head were smoothly cut into neat slices, the kind that could be put on a plate and served to the table.
"Crack."
The green boys fell to the ground one after another.
The first wave of orcs' rebound gang was repulsed. Instead of pursuing the victory, the experienced Moon Wolf warriors ordered their teammates to cover themselves, then squatted down and began to arrange teleportation beacons.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Several rays of white light flashed in the battleship passage, and a dozen fully armed Space Marines appeared in the passage out of thin air. Joestar stood up, waved his hand, and said:
"Connect to the communication channel, ZC1108. Don't worry about the Snots and Scrooges. Go to the bridge quickly and kill the war boss first. The remaining greenskins will disperse in a rush."
In the winding passage of the battleship, the Space Marines silently approached, as fast as thunder.
…
Conquest-class galactic voyager, Emperor's Coin.
"Boss, canned shrimps have boarded our battleship!"
A special operations boy with blue camouflage on his face rolled and crawled in front of the war boss, which was as big as a Dreadnought. He lay down in front of it and shouted in terror.
The war boss wore a thick rolled steel vest with a row of sharp ridges on his shoulders. His face and armor were covered in red paint, and he wore a black pirate felt hat on his head.
It kicked his subordinate in the chest, causing the special operations boy to roll over and cursed:
"Why are you anxious? Break through the defense here immediately. We will have a super ship. We will become the largest, strongest, and most waaagh tribe... What did you just say?"
"It's canned shrimp, boss!"
The men cried with tears streaming down their faces.
"Canned food, canned food is here..."
The war boss murmured to himself, and suddenly he cursed angrily:
"Before the canned battleship approached us, why didn't anyone tell me, damn technician boy!"
"Boss, the cunning cannon hit our ship with the 'blackout cannon'. All radios and communications were disabled. They are coming now. Woohoo, my poor Dudu, that's my favorite A Calling Scrooge..."
The special operations boy started crying as he spoke.
"Stop arguing, Gorge is watching you, you cowardly idiot. I said, have you seen the pattern on their shoulders clearly? Which canned army is it?"
Warboss obviously knows his stuff and knows how to distinguish Space Marine Legions by the crests on their pauldrons.
The special operations boy said tremblingly:
"It's yellow lightning and a horizontal bar..."
The hyperthyroidism-like bulging eyes of the war boss suddenly opened wide, and the horrific memories of the past flooded into his mind:
Those terrifying giants roaring by on motorcycles, those fluttering red battle flags and dazzling white skulls. Before they could catch a glimpse of the enemy, the tribal boys were slaughtered and harvested. They skillfully drove away the panicked Orks, shouting Laughing wildly and loudly, even the most ill-tempered Scrooge fled in front of them like frightened herbivores...
Those domineering orcs who were rescued by Pain Boy's joint surgery said: When your head and body have been separated, the roar of the motorcycle engine will still echo in your ears. It is the call from the White God of Death...
At that time, War Boss was just a skinny boy who didn't know much about the world. He managed to escape by hiding in a garbage pit, using smelly dung grass and tattered cover.
"White scars..."
The war boss slowly read out the name in the terrifying legend, feeling a little frightened in his heart.
…
After killing all the Orks and Ork-like creatures in the three green-skinned battleships, Joestar led the Space Marines on the Thunderhawk gunship to arrive at the Conqueror-class Star Sea Voyage Ship that had been jumped by the Orks, and reunited with the Apothecary Camille.
"Old Joe."
"Camus."
The two fist bumped.
"How's it going?"
"all the best."
Joestar knelt down, picked up one of Orc Boy's dakka guns, and looked at the crude symbol engraved on it: red crossed axes and an abstract head in the middle.
"The Blood Ax Clan... hum."
Joestar snorted disdainfully.
After all, they are two groups of war demons who often deal with each other in the galaxy. The Orks know the legions of the Space Marines, and the Space Marines also know the clans of the Orks.
He patted Camille on the shoulder:
"Come on, doctor, let's get rid of the biggest green-skinned beast. The rest are just chickens and dogs."
…
The Space Marines of the God-Machine Brotherhood were criss-crossing and rushing through the intricate passages and cabins of the Conquest-class Star Sea Voyage Ship. Blood Ax is a cunning clan. They are rich in special warfare boys. They prefer the cunning Brother Mao to the brutal Brother Go. They are good at ambush, sneaking, hiding in the dark and shooting cold shots, etc...
However, these tricks and methods are all invisible in the face of the active and passive see-through helmet of the MK8 anti-insurgency powered armor. A large number of special operations boys hiding in alleys and behind corners were killed one by one by the Space Marines.
The hateful cans seemed to have no idea, and the brave boys didn't even have time to throw out the various sticks and thunder in their hands before they died, so they met the second brother Mao with hatred.
However, the Brotherhood of God's Machine's gang-hopping operation was not smooth sailing. The Ork Orc pirates who landed on the Conquest-class Star Sea Voyage Ship were obviously stronger and better equipped, causing a lot of trouble for the Space Marines and even leading to the beginning of combat attrition. Keeps happening.
"Ouch--die to the can!"
The thick armored bulkhead blocked the Space Marine's perspective. A sturdy orc roared out of the hatch, with a death gun fixed on his broad shoulder.
The Death Gun is massive and ornately decorated, with Technician adding shiny parts and a funky Scrooge, a grumpy Gunslinger.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"
The Orks locked the Space Marines at the end of the passage through the viewfinder and opened fire. The super-large single-headed projectiles spurted out, knocking the Space Marines off guard.
Gunboy's shoulders are composed of a large number of bionic organs and thick, rapidly developed muscles, so that they can absorb the powerful recoil of the Death Gun that can break bones.
The Space Marines in the back row hugged their fallen comrades and quickly retreated to the corner. The gunfire of the Death Gun was still roaring, and the gun-dazzling boy walked forward carrying a heavy ammunition box.
The fallen warrior was laid flat on the ground. Camille squatted on the ground, reached out and took off the warrior's helmet, revealing a young face with bloody flesh, long white hair braided behind the ears, broken plastron and The organs were mixed together, he had lost his breath, and his two hearts had stopped beating.
Camille checked for a moment and immediately shouted:
"The Sassian meninges are activated. He just faked his death to make room for me and kill the noisy guy by the way."
After speaking, he bent down and used the electric drill on the side of his arm to break open the connecting bolts of the chest armor. The searchlight behind focused the light source on the soldier's abdomen. The medical backpack stretched out its sensitive and slender mechanical tentacles to mix the armor fragments into the abdominal cavity. One by one, the necrotic flesh, flesh and intestines were removed and the entire battlefield operation was carried out in an orderly and very fast manner.
Taking advantage of the moment when the death gun misfired, two space warriors stepped out and fired a wave of plasma without even looking. The blue beam flashed through. The gun-dazzling guy's arm holding the bullet chain was instantly interrupted. However, this The beast with tenacious vitality still roared and pounced forward. As the sound of the chain saw grinding meat was heard, the tip of the chain saw broke out from the orc's broad and strong back, which was an end to this manic big ejaculation.
The living metal was already squirming and repairing itself. With the additional injection of the terminal virus, the white-haired warrior emerged from suspended animation and opened his eyes again. Camille's concerned face came into view. The young warrior said gratefully:
"Thank you, pharmacist."
…
Due to the strong survivability of the Space Marines themselves and the Marvel Artifact Extremis Virus, the attrition figures of the God-Machine Brotherhood did not translate into the number of casualties.
Fu Qinghai sat quietly on the bridge, watching the fierce battle turn into scrolling runes and data streams on the screen.
But he remained unmoved.
Behind him, Lin Yu was walking around uncomfortably. Fu Qinghai knew that he was eager to join the distant battle. The fighting gene in the Space Marine's bones was already impatient.
"A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, it's just an idiom."
Fu Qinghai said calmly:
"Always have a reserve force and hold the initiative in your own hands. This is what a qualified commander should do."
Lin Yu stopped and nodded heavily:
"Yes, Khan."
…
Fierce bullets were fired at each other in the narrow space, and the fragments were covered with flesh and blood. The Space Marines' plasma and hot melt sprays were intertwined, and the Ork Orcs' fire blasts and explosive eggs were flying everywhere.
Stun mines, stink mines, fungus mines... the special operations boys threw various biological and chemical weapons, club thunders, at the Space Marines. The battleship passage was filled with yellow poisonous gas and floating fungal spores.
The Space Marines fought and retreated, pretending to be defeated, and slowly lured the greenskins who had killed them out of the bunker and fell into a carefully constructed encirclement. Then they used a large number of armor-piercing grenades and melta bombs to greet them.
Like a ferocious old wolf, Joestar took the lead in charging into the enemy formation. The bullets and lasers were deflected and pushed away by the invisible deflection field in front of him, hitting the surrounding walls and ceilings one after another, leaving bullet holes and Jiao Hen, as the only person in the Shenji Brotherhood with an iron halo, the Moon Wolf Warriors always take the lead when encountering enemies.
Joestar and Camille, leading all the Space Marines who participated in the gang-hopping, gathered in front of the bridge passage. After a fierce and hard battle, the war boss, who was like a green mountain of flesh, finally fell in front of everyone.
Its thighs were burned through by double-barreled melt guns, its chest was covered with scratches from the power claws, its muscles torn by explosive bombs were exposed to the air, its skin and flesh were rolled, and its internal organs were leaking out. How could it be so miserable - only Only in this way can this terrifying monster with redundant growth of tissues and organs be killed.
Joestar was covered in blood and his armor was in tatters. He threw the broken helmet aside, revealing his bloody and scabbed bald head. He stepped on the chest of the war boss with one foot, leaned down and used his power claws to cut off its head with great difficulty, and lifted it. With it in hand, he led the team towards the tightly closed hatch.
The two Space Marines quickly deployed their melta bombs and retreated.
"boom--"
The heat wave is coming.
The smoke slowly dissipated.
The scarlet eyepieces lit up, and the Space Marines carrying guns filed in. In the corner of the captain's room, they saw a trembling woman huddled with her hands on her knees. With a "click", everyone's guns were instantly locked. Locked her.
Joestar, who smelled of gunpowder smoke and blood, slowly walked up to the woman.
"identity."
The voice on the loudspeaker was cold and calm.
The woman raised her tear-stained face:
"Yolanda Atela, a Rogue Trader family from the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. Thank you for your rescue. Sir, this is...this is our family's trade license and privateering license."
The woman handed over the parchment she held tightly in her hand, and the sweat on her palms soaked the texture of the paper. When life and death were at stake, she still refused to give up this thing. Thinking about it, it was very important.
Qiao Shida took it and unfolded it to take a look.
It was a license issued by Robert Guilliman.
There is a personal signature of the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds at the signature.
Qiao Shida nodded and handed the parchment back to the woman. Several soldiers stepped forward and helped the woman stand up. The Moon Wolf warrior turned his head to look around and asked casually:
"Where's the Astropath who called us for backup?"
The woman raised her face with a confused expression:
"Astropath? What Astropath? Our Astropath was killed when the first wave of Ork bombardment hit."
Qiao Shida was stunned:
"Isn't it a distress signal sent by the Astropath?"
"I thought you were just passing through, sir."
the woman said.
Joestar's eyes slowly widened, and he looked at Camille who had just taken off his helmet. Both of them saw the shock that was difficult to conceal in the other's eyes.
…
Stars are always the largest objects in a galaxy. The plasma reaction of stars is the strongest. With the help of flares and light emitted by stars, many things can be covered up.
Just when the Fierce Horse and the Greenskin Fleet were fighting fiercely.
Three twisted and corrupted Chaos warships drew an arc side by side, rushed out from the back of the star, and all pounced on the Goliath-class factory ship and the unprotected Goliath-class factory ship that were hovering quietly in space. Nine Imperial transport ships.
Fu Qinghai looked at the three red dots on the detection array.
Grinning.
