Chapter 271 A game within a game

One Dominator-class conventional cruiser and two Cobra-class guided missile destroyers.

The detection array has identified the opponent's model, and other information is unknown.

"Sir, please activate the void..."

Traces of the Chaos battleship were discovered, and the crew on the bridge immediately requested that the battleship be restored to normal operation.

"No!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fu Qinghai:

"Inject all the battleship energy into the light spear turret, target the two destroyers, and fire the Scourge of the Gods light spear at full power. After charging is completed, fire directly without asking for instructions."

The Scourge of the Gods Light Spear is an ancient weapon that is almost a technological relic. It has a longer focusing aperture and a four-element lens array, giving it a great range. However, the technical requirements for this weapon are very high, and only older super-large cruisers can or battleships to meet the structural requirements to install them.

Fu Qinghai's orders were carried out to the letter.

The plasma engine has been started, the void shield array and the sublight engine remain silent, and a large amount of surging energy has been injected into the light spear turret. The Suzheng has an energy conversion matrix. This relic technology can redistribute the battleship's energy to the maximum extent and concentrate it. Energy does big things.

The Suzheng is not "invisible". It is still parked quietly in the dark space. However, in the observation of the ship's auspicious device, this battleship does not exist. There are factory ships and transport ships hovering quietly in the void. Like a herd of defenseless lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Three Chaos warships were like hungry jackals, rushing towards this side in a wedge formation. Only then did a factory ship and nine transport ships begin to turn eagerly but slowly, preparing to escape into the meteorite belt surrounding the planet. He looked so panicked.

This behavior seemed to further stimulate the bloodthirsty nerves of the Chaos warships. Fu Qinghai saw that the two destroyers even closed their void shields and concentrated all their energy on the sub-light engines. The energy signal at the tail suddenly increased and they accelerated towards their prey.

Until the light spear attack of the Su Zheng came.

"Suprise Motherfvcker!"

Fu Qinghai showed a cruel smile.

The turret instantly fired several deadly golden laser pillars at the enemy, and the Chaos warship trembled. When the huge energy was absorbed into it and detonated with incredible power, even the surrounding void was illuminated by the light of the light spear.

The light spear hit the side of the ship, and several decks and the facilities and personnel on them were instantly vaporized, triggering a series of explosions that eventually led to the explosion of the subspace engine. The void created by immaterial energy engulfed the battleship.

The explosion of the subspace engine brought an attack effect similar to that of a vortex torpedo. The sudden appearance of the subspace vortex swallowed up most of the ship's hull, and the personnel inside also disappeared, leaving only the incomplete hull.

Give the traitors a sense of "coming home".

The first destroyer was gone.

The outcome of the second ship was not much better.

Although he was not unlucky enough to be directly hit by the subspace engine, in just a few seconds, the destroyer's hull was still violently melted and torn apart by the light spear. The internal compartment was rapidly decompressed, and the gunpowder ejected from the broken hull The air condensed into bright crystals, and a large amount of materials and personnel were thrown into space like scattered dust. Vast numbers of crew members and slaves died quickly in the vacuum environment. Only some space warriors could still rely on powered armor. of life support systems adrift in space.

Continuous bursts of orange flames lit up the vast cold and silent void. There was no conductive medium in space, and everyone on the bridge seemed to be enjoying a silent fireworks show.

The tattered remains of the two Cobra-class guided missile destroyers have been captured by the gravity of the planet below and are slowly falling towards the orbital dust belt surrounding the planet.

In just one encounter, two of the three Chaos battleships were turned into space junk. Not surprisingly, the destroyer's void shield was not enough to withstand the battleship's volley of light spears, not to mention that they had turned it off.

It was only then that the Dominator-class cruiser in the middle recovered from the sudden light spear attack. It hurriedly increased the output power of the void shield and made large-scale maneuvers to prepare to avoid subsequent attacks.

"snort."

Seeing the enemy's actions, Fu Qinghai sneered.

If it was a normal ambush attack, Fu Qinghai should immediately order an attack on the cruiser instead of the destroyer. He deliberately let the cruiser go, not because it was lucky, but because Fu Qinghai wanted to achieve greater results than destroying it.

"The jamming macro cannon and the live macro cannon fire freely, and the torpedo salvos are calculated to block the opponent's maneuvering space."

Fu Qinghai issued the order.

The light spear breaks the shield and the macro cannon kills. This is a very classic battle process of the Imperial Navy. The cooldown time of the light spear is very long, but the macro cannon can be fired relatively quickly and continuously.

Compared to light spears and macro cannons, torpedoes are very slow, but powerful, and ignore void shields. Many warships would rather endure several rounds of macro cannon and light spear salvos than take one torpedo.

By calculating the torpedo's trajectory, the torpedo is launched in advance to the location where the enemy may sail to perform space blockade, which is commonly known as "torpedo shepherding".

When your own side has a firepower advantage, you can use the "torpedo shepherding" tactic to confine the enemy ship to a certain area to prevent the opponent from escaping or maneuvering quickly.

Six groups of torpedo tubes continuously spit out torpedoes loaded with plasma warheads and quickly rushed towards the cruiser.

Torpedoes have certain guidance capabilities and multiple guidance methods. Therefore, in the face of incoming torpedoes, small-scale maneuvering evasion is not enough. Sometimes, close-in defense guns and rapid-fire guns similar to the Phalanx system must be relied on to destroy the torpedoes in advance.

At this time, the light cruiser Lima, which went to deal with the Orc fleet, also came back. It quickly entered the battlefield diagonally, preparing to attack the Chaos warship from both sides.

The victory or defeat has been decided, and the opponent is ready to escape.

A conventional cruiser will lose against a battleship and a light cruiser no matter how you look at it.

How could Fu Qinghai make him realize his wish?

The high-explosive warheads of the Mars-type macro-cannon continued to disappear in the flickering light on the surface of the void shield, and many of them flew past the side of the battleship. The Dominator-class cruiser lost some control and lurched left and right, and occasionally organized Sporadic counterattacks will not succeed. The Suzheng has already raised the void shield in advance, which is also a powerful relic technology - the Fortress Master Shield Array.

Finally, after a flash of light exploded, the cruiser's void shield was overloaded.

It was only at this moment that Fu Qinghai finally saw clearly the markings on the enemy warship - scarlet bat wings and fanged skulls.

The Eighth Legion, the Night Lords.

"As expected, it's this group of homeless dogs that have been wandering around the empire and refused to enter the Eye of Terror."

Fu Qinghai muttered to himself.

He stood up from the captain's chair and ordered in a deep voice:

"Seize this window of void shield overload, and after three volleys of jamming macrocannons, all Space Marines... join my gang!"

"Let's meet Curze's bat cub."

…

At this time point in 31K, the term "Chaos Warship" actually does not exist. After the traitors exhausted all the ancient warships brought into the Eye of Terror, the forging world controlled by the Dark Mechanicus began. They tightened their belts and designed and produced various special models of warships for the Chaos camp. Currently, they are still using warships left over from the Legion era.

Limited by the lack of resources and the loss of technology, most Chaos warships have inferior parameters to Imperial warships. However, Chaos warships are often accompanied by various enchantments and corruptions, just like "Flying Holland" in Pirates of the Caribbean. Like the "Queen Anne's Revenge", the "People" is somewhat of a magic battleship, and their combat power cannot be measured by the indicators of conventional battleships.

For example, the Warmaster's flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, which once belonged to the 16th Legion, was filled with various supernatural and haunted incidents. It is said that every person who died on the Vengeful Spirit would leave behind an elusive sculpture.

Seizing the ship is risky. In contrast, directly destroying the Dominator-class cruiser is the safest choice. However, Fu Qinghai knows very well: Wealth can be found in danger, and wealth is easy to make in troubled times.

The Chapter's fleet cannot wait.

Without the protection of the void shield, the ionized deuterium atomic shells fired by the interference macro cannon caused the cruiser's power transmission system to overload and fail. The enemy was trapped in place, and the densely packed close-in defense guns and rapid-fire cannons on the hull shell all went silent.

"Boom——"

There was a loud noise, flames bursting out, and the shell armor erupted inward like fragments of a storm. The corridor was filled with smoke for fire extinguishing. When the ship's cogitator system recorded the enemy attack and hull rupture, In case of danger, the emergency alarm will sound immediately and all nearby bulkheads will be sealed.

With the sound of the cabin door opening, Fu Qinghai led his attendants and stepped onto the dirty deck.

"Deploy teleportation beacons and gather around me."

Fu Qinghai said.

As soon as he finished speaking, his enhanced hearing instantly captured the subtle sound of footsteps. Dozens of tall ghost-like phantoms were walking through the fog. The tilted blood-red eyes were illuminated. The Night Lord's reaction speed was faster than expected. .

"Da da da...boom!"

Explosive bombs landed on the walls around them and detonated together with grenades. The moment Fu Qinghai and Lin Yu's eyepieces adapted to the thick smoke, they dispersed, looking for bunkers and shooting with guns.

A Nightbat warrior emerged from the fog first. The explosive shells bit into his shoulder armor and tore off pieces. He stepped forward and shortened the distance. The unsheathed power sword drew an arc. Fu Qinghai stepped back and swung. The sword resisted, and the saw teeth of the chain sword caught the edge of the power sword, and the arc of the cracking force field exploded into pieces.

Fu Qinghai used faster speed and greater strength - he drew his sword downwards, making the opponent stagger, and then thrust upwards, the Night Bat warrior's head was separated.

He didn't need to swing the sword in a wide range. This blow had already severed the Night Lord's head from his shoulders. Fu Qinghai grabbed the bloody neck guard, completely ignoring the bright red liquid spurting out from the broken neck and splashing all over his hands. He held the armor and helmet with one hand and put the corpse in front of him. As a human shield, he quickly moved forward with the human shield. The swarming bombs hit the headless corpse, causing the corpse's armor to shatter and blood mist to explode. , until Fu Qinghai threw it hard towards the Midnight Lord in front of him.

…

White scarred warriors were sent one after another. Fu Qinghai and Lin Yu were no longer fighting alone, but they faced an entire cruiser and an entire Chaos war gang.

Unlike before when he joined the Emperor's Children's fleet, Fu Qinghai could fight or retreat. Now, if he wanted to completely wipe out a battleship, he had to face countless interstellar warriors.

The Thunderhawk gunship of the Fierce Horse arrived belatedly.

Joestar and Camille also joined the charge one after another. The steel claw slapped the helmet of a Nightbat warrior hard and threw him against the wall. Camille took a moment to glance and found the Moon Wolf warrior's power armor and his The body, too, was covered in scars and damage—Old Joe needed treatment.

"Don't get distracted during the battle!"

A hoarse evil laugh rang in his ears.

Kamil was horrified and subconsciously ducked to avoid the swinging sword. The A-13 tracer grenade launcher on his left arm sprayed out a dazzling light ball, causing the enemy to lose sight instantly. The "Executioner" on his right arm The metal piston device ejected the saw-tooth scalpel and slashed across the Night Bat warrior's throat. The opponent's body suddenly trembled, and the sound from the loudspeaker was immediately drowned out by the sound of blood foam.

A deck-by-deck sweep.

Clearing out passage after passage.

Fu Qinghai and others did not attack the plundered slaves, but killed all the mortal crew members who served the Night Lord.

Finally, Fu Qinghai led everyone to the bridge.

The last remaining Night Lords have been waiting for a long time.

White scars formed in groups, surrounded by corpses they had killed. In the gradually dissipating fog, Fu Qinghai, Qiao Shida, Camille and Lin Yu stood proudly at the front of the team, with all the weapons in their hands bathed in the mist. Blood.

After a fierce and bloody battle, their outer composite armor had been shattered and disintegrated, and the inner lining was blackened, gouged, and scorched. Only Fu Qinghai's vibranium lining remained intact and looked like brand new. The helmets of several people were dented and slightly deformed. Lin Yu was missing an eyepiece. Both of Camille's eyepieces were cracked to the point of being difficult to repair. Half of Joe Star's face could even be seen through the broken visor. .

And what about the Night Lords?

Broken, corrupted, decayed... Wearing stolen patchwork armor, Fu Qinghai's eyes swept over them one by one, and the sight of the eyepiece to identify friend and foe flickered and jumped on the outline of their images. The bloodied heads of the Blood Angels and the battered helmets of the Ultramarines hung from their waists. Everyone's expression was a mixture of annoyance, contempt and unabashed hatred.

"White scars..."

A night bat warrior sighed and said:

"You are more cunning and greedy than we imagined. You could have easily won this battle, but you chose the most difficult way. You are so proud of yourself. Your life will surely be lost, right on this ship, right now."

"I'll deal with him, Khan."

The attendant beside him declared firmly.

Fu Qinghai shook his head and said loudly:

"If Qingshan Khan doesn't kill the unknown people, who will come?"

"Lord Smiling, Sherion."

The other party responded equally sharply.

There are two iconic bat-wing crests on both sides of his helmet, which are special symbols displayed by the company commanders of the "Night Bat Council", the core inner group of the Eighth Legion.

After listening to this, Fu Qinghai’s evaluation was:

"Nobody."

The ones I don’t know are all unknowns.

After saying that, he stepped forward and rushed forward.

The other party was obviously angered by Fu Qinghai's arrogance. Without any orders, the two groups of space warriors collided brazenly and fought each other. The chainswords roared, spun, and hissed. The sharp blade passed over the midnight blue multi-layered composite armor, splashing. Dazzling hot sparks and sharp ceramite fragments arose.

A Night Lord used experienced and cruel melee skills to chop off Lin Yu's armor joints with his sword. Lin Yu punched his helmet. The opponent groaned and raised his head upwards, revealing his articulated throat armor. That second was enough for the White Scar Warrior to end his life.

The hook blade of the chain saw struck the soft fiber bundle covering the neck, biting deeply, deep enough to crush the bones. The pieces of armor fell like raindrops, and blood seeped through the breastplate and scattered drop by drop. On the cabin floor.

The Night Lord fell to his knees, life pouring from his brutally torn throat as ceramite clanked on the deck. The squire announced the end of the beheading with the second swing of the chain sword. The helmet knocked on the deck and the head rolled down safely. Lin Yu stepped on it with his steel shoe and crushed it.

Sherion rushed towards Fu Qinghai, swinging the clattering finely crafted power sword. Fu Qinghai put away his open and closed blue teeth, pulled out the delicate green blade, and caught up before the enemy could swing his sword... ..."Ding!" The two swords fought against each other, locked tightly, and no one gave an inch.

"I don't know his name... the one who died at the hands of the War Philosopher... the captain of the 9th Company of White Scars... Geez, but well, you are a little stronger than him."

Sherion licked his teeth, which were stained black with blood from his gums, and said with a grin.

Fu Qinghai knew who he was talking about. The former captain of the 10th Company of the Night Lords, the War Philosopher Markarian, who during the siege of Terra killed the swordsman master of the 9th Company of the White Scars and Lumai Ke one after another during the siege of Terra. Khan, Templar Paladin of the Imperial Fists, and Rogge the Sufferer, Captain of the 7th Company of the Blood Angels, three Company Champions and senior officers.

"A coward who uses other people's achievements to show off..."

Fu Qinghai curled his lips and said unceremoniously:

"Sevatar, Macharion, Talos, Vanzoren... I will find and kill them one by one, including you, the unknown servant of the Night Lords."

"Snapped!"

Between the lightning and flint, the two people suddenly separated. A blood mark appeared on the side of Fu Qinghai's face. A cluster of dripping blood splashed on the sword blade that stirred up the blue arc of Xerion. It sizzled and dried, but Fu Qinghai looked... Don't care - because the other person's situation is worse than yours.

Sherion held the long sword with one hand and took two staggering steps to the left and right. The scene in front of him was blurry, like a drunk man. Sparks and lubricants flickered and dripped at the wounds of the power armor, and then the blood was like an open faucet. He raised his hand to cover his chest, but couldn't stop the blood from gushing out. He looked at Fu Qinghai with a blank expression:

"You...how did you do it?"

"Plop!"

After saying that, the Night Lord fell face down.

Fu Qinghai raised his knife and looked around. The entire bridge had been cleared.

Then he looked down at Sherion's body lying on the ground.

Just now, Fu Qinghai used one of the Sith Force Skills, "Inertial Acceleration", to cause himself to suddenly move forward for a certain distance in violation of the laws of physics at the moment he broke away from the sword fight. Sherion was caught off guard, and his two hearts They were all pierced by the power knife. This action was so fast that blood began to spurt out only a moment after the heart was pierced.

"Although you were not killed by a lightsaber, you were the first Space Marine to die from the Force. Lord Smile, your death has become meaningful. You are no longer an unknown person."

Fu Qinghai said lightly.

…

Su Zheng, bridge.

Fu Qinghai sat in the captain's chair, listening to the reports and summaries of his subordinates.

Three green-skinned battleships, a Conquest-class starship voyager, a Dominator-class cruiser, as well as the wreckage of battleships and space warriors floating in space...

Cleaning the battlefield is a technical job that requires patience and meticulousness, especially for an old capitalist like Fu Qinghai who "squeezes the oil out of the chaff."

"After two gang-hopping operations, post-war statistics show that the Brotherhood lost a total of twelve Space Marines."

Kamil Hui reported that his tone was a little heavy.

As the only pharmacist in the company, Camille was the last link to confirm the death status. If he said he was killed in action, then he was really killed in action.

Moreover, recruits who have been transformed recently cannot recover gene seeds. Everyone knows this.

Fu Qinghai nodded:

"This is inevitable in war."

Most of the deaths occurred during the gang-hopping process against Chaos warships. The combat effectiveness of the green-skinned pirates was completely incomparable to that of the Night Lords.

A mere twelve Space Marine recruits died in battle, but in exchange for an entire Night Lords warband being wiped out, this exchange ratio was already quite exaggerated.

Although it has not yet reached the level of crushing, the new all-new Space Marine + MK8 chaos-fighting power armor already has the strength to surpass the traditional Space Marine.

"Khan!"

At this time, a naval officer on the bridge interrupted the conversation of several Space Marines.

Fu Qinghai turned around and asked:

"What did you find?"

The mortal officer adjusted the runes in front of him, squinted at the readings in front of him, and said:

"I just discovered a plasma energy peak on the Medium-range Omen, a new signal, Khan, thirty thousand kilometers away from us."

"What's this?"

Qiao Shida came over and asked:

"a ship?"

"I believe so, bearing zero five four."

"Identify it, the category and type, and see how it got so close without us detecting it."

Fu Qinghai ordered.

The mortal officer nodded in agreement and leaned over to work again. On the screen on the central table, rows of numbers scrolled down, displaying detailed information and data about the unknown ship.

"I have confirmed the engine signature of the unknown ship, Khan."

The mortal officer read the message on the screen:

"This is a...well, a patrol battleship belonging to the Hazy Star Territory Navy Fleet, a Defender-class escort cruiser named Brave Heart. The other party is also confirming our identity."

Fu Qinghai smiled and said:

"It seems that we are not the only ones who received the Star Language distress signal sent by the Night Lords. Other nearby Imperial warships also heard the news and came here."

Qiao Shida sneered:

"After the war, these guys arrived too late. They can't even keep up with the heat of eating shit."

Eugene Elinor frowned and said with some confusion:

"Khan, I have served in the Navy Fleet of the Obscure Star Territory before. In my impression... the cruiser Brave Heart was sunk as early as during the Horus Heresy."

"What's this?"

Lin Yu said nonchalantly:

"Isn't our Su Zheng a sunken ship that was just salvaged before?"

"But the ship number should be changed..."

Fu Qinghai was sitting on the captain's chair, listening to the conversation between the two. Suddenly he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, he slapped the table and shouted:

"Raise the void shield, immediately, immediately!"

The crew on the bridge quickly carried out his order, and just when the castle master's shield array was about to light up and had not completely covered the entire battleship... the light spear strike suddenly arrived!

The blazing laser of the pulse light spear fiercely bombarded the castle master's shield array, bright and dark spots flickered, and the energy mask of the castle master's shield array exploded to pieces.
