Chapter 348 The first battle of the Iron Buddha Terminator (Part 1)
Three hours ago.
Planet Karnak III, space orbit.
The spears of light clashed, and the cannons flew together.
"So, the Kroot have chosen a side?"
Eugene Eleanor spread his legs to resist the sudden tilt of the bridge. The Suzheng's simulated gravity device handled the sudden change well, but the device was not perfect.
No one answered his question.
The Iron Buddha Terminator, which stood like an iron tower around the bridge, remained silent. While clenching its weapon and adjusting its body posture, it turned to stare at the tactical readings on the screen.
The Orc fleet and the Chaos warships moved closer to the formation of the Suzheng and the War Horse, with a very obvious intention - they planned to cross the wide and icy ring and the surrounding asteroid belt.
The auspicious detection shows that even the Kroot war ball ship is slowly approaching here, but it is moving too slowly, so there is no need to worry about it in the short term.
Several fleets that originally occupied an area and maintained a peaceful confrontation suddenly broke the balance and moved towards the Iron Buddha Battle Group's fleet at the same time. Why?
"I think there must be a winner on the ground battlefield, or there must be some major turning point, sir."
A mortal staff officer said.
Eugene nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
"Sir, what should we do, evacuate the orbit?"
asked another staff officer.
"impossible!"
Eugene rejected the proposal immediately:
"If we give up our position in low-Earth orbit, the hive city and ground forces will be subjected to orbital bombing from space. I don't know whether those rags of the Orcs have orbital bombing capabilities, but the Underworld-class heavy cruiser definitely has it, even if the hive has a void Shield, I will never allow this to happen!"
Eugene knew his boss well. If he were subjected to orbital bombing, he would definitely tear himself apart.
"Give me your order, sir!"
The staff officer asked Eugene about his specific orders.
Eugene looked around the bridge and said:
"They have already entered the light spear range and are still approaching us... It's very obvious, isn't it? Since they want to fight the Jump Gang, let them fight the Jump Gang!"
Sure enough, Eugene just finished speaking.
"Torpedo attack!!!"
A mortal officer roared heartbreakingly.
"Turn, the star is about five o'clock."
Eugene Elinor ordered:
"Prepare for battle."
"boom--"
Violent vibrations were transmitted along the walls of the battleship, hitting the bridge like waves. The blistered forward armored glass began to break. Two manned workstations lost their signal due to the break below, and the damage control troops were quickly dispatched.
Suzheng and Zhanma faced double attacks from the left and right at the same time, and did not fall into any disadvantage.
They were hit hard.
They fought back violently.
This is the Void War.
Every screen was filled with flashing signals, and with a series of silent explosions, three fleets spread out in the void, leaving only countless burning starship wreckage.
The two Basha-class light cruisers have been ignited by the artillery array of the battleship Suzheng and the cruiser Zhanma. The exploding engines and hulls were as gorgeous as fireworks.
The Warhorse strike cruiser moved through the wreckage, using the wreckage and ice rings to cover itself, its tail thrusters spitting flames and its side laser emitters flashing red.
As for the truly behemoth, the Underworld-class heavy cruiser, its powerful attack stirred up ripples the size of meteorites on the void shield of the Suzheng, and the pure beams emitted by the light spears were full of deadly energy.
The light spear fired again, and the bridge and deck shook again. Forward scanners and energy detectors were disabled for a fraction of a second in a burst of white flames, then quickly restored.
"Port Thunderhawk gunship approaching."
A machine slave worker said expressionlessly.
"The void shield on the port side of No. 7 was destroyed."
Another servitor added.
"The light spear array is 91% charged."
"Transfer deck compartment power transfer to relays."
Massive amounts of tactical data flooded the bridge and Eugene Eleanor. He felt the ship beneath his feet shaking like a beast, and the Suzheng was struggling to keep up with his orders. He was also trying to support himself and resist another deflection of the bridge.
"The target has been locked..."
reported the gunner on the gun deck, his half-human, half-machine head buried in a bank of image screens.
Ahead of them, the Orks' Onslaught-class assault ship was maneuvering at full speed, but the Suzheng followed closely behind it, and after spinning through the ice ring and a pile of battleship wreckage, the battleship finally got a clean shot. space.
"Now, Gunner."
Eugene shouted an order:
"This is an opportunity not to be missed."
The Suzheng's bow light spear opened fire, and two rays of light pierced the enemy's fiery tail plasma stream.
"good!"
Eugene yelled, punching his palm.
The target battleship was hit by two luminous spears at its rear, and the hull was blown to pieces in a series of explosions one after another. Its wreckage broke into several pieces and flew out as the series of explosions rotated.
"roundabout!"
Eugene Elinor ordered.
"Go back to the ice ring immediately."
The Suzheng dived downwards rapidly, and new enemies entered their field of vision. Ice rings, planets, asteroids, and battleship wreckage hovered above the armored glass of the bridge. There was a continuous disturbance of three-dimensional space surrounding them, locked tightly, Circled.
"Destroy the enemy ship."
Gunner's report.
"Well done."
Eugene praised.
"Thunderhawk gunship continues to approach."
The servitor in front of the sensors and sensors repeated it again, its voice weak and sounding like it was reporting a common fuel leak in the bilge's redundant coil.
"How many are there?"
"Cross, dense formation, ready to fire at any time."
The Suzheng and the War Horse have been gathering the thin-skinned orc fleet, striving to destroy these low-quality orc warships first. They ignored the underworld-class heavy cruiser of the Chaos warband and ignored the attack of the heavy cruiser. , eventually causing the Void Shield No. 7 to be penetrated.
And those ten Thunderhawk gunships.
Just head straight for this gap!
The close-in defense guns and rapid-fire guns on the side of the Suzheng opened fire, and the shells drew a chain-like trajectory in the darkness. A Thunderhawk gunboat was hit. Two exploded and turned into a ball of fire. The other one ignited another fire and lost power.
"Fire again."
A Thunderhawk gunship was blown to pieces during the attack, its wreckage tumbling in a tumbling arc. Two more gunboats hit the shells head-on and plummeted.
But four more arrived at the gap. Then, the Thunderhawk gunships quickly changed their course, suddenly accelerated forward, and all rushed into the gap in the void shield of the Suzheng.
"Open the Gnaku's hatch!"
Eugene gave an unexpected order.
After speaking, the acting captain looked at the Iron Buddha Terminator.
The other party nodded to him, paused heavily with the power horse in his hand, and walked towards the boarding deck with the clanging armor.
"Instead of randomly guessing where they are going to land from, it is better to open the hangar to make room... Attention, all personnel on the boarding deck should evacuate immediately, repeat, evacuate immediately!"
Eugene leaned over the radio and shouted.

There's a lot going on today, and I haven't finished writing the other half yet, so I can only post the other half first.
