Chapter 445 Shooting Arrows
End of the meeting.
Fu Qinghai returned to Suzheng.
"Eugene, inform the crew to return to the battleship."
"Yes, Khan."
The mortal captain took the order and left.
Many mortal sailors took advantage of the time when the Chapter's fleet was parked and rested to go to the airport of the Forge World of Atal Meridian to play and spend money. This situation was allowed. As for what you said about a forging world, wouldn’t it be full of forges and factories? Where would the entertainment facilities come from? Then you underestimate the oil man.
There was an era when the world was independently responsible for diplomacy. Those diplomats who had highly prosthetic transformations all over their bodies but still looked beautiful and handsome, took into account the aesthetics of both mortals and machines. Even if the cost of beautiful "machine girls" is too high, it just makes the sailors feel happy, and the oil guys have plenty of ways to do it.
"Lin Yu, report on the rest and supply situation."
"Okay, Khan."
The squire picked up the data pad and began to report.
The focus is on the purification of machine souls, cleaning of cabins and renovation of several captured ships. This work has been delayed the longest. The ruling sage assigned many technical priests from the Forge World of Atal Median to participate and cooperate with the battle group's technology. The sergeant completed these complex tasks in a short time.
The brain of M.O.D.O.K., this transformation is almost equivalent to obtaining the innate ability of the Ultramarines in disguise, and it is also an enhanced version comparable to the Primarch level (it is said that Robert Guilliman can process more than 50,000 pieces of information at the same time. This ability is actually Petu Rabo also has it). The human brain is comparable to a computer, and it is almost impossible to make mistakes in data compilation and statistical work.
Lin Yu quickly finished his report.
"Okay, notify all warships to weigh anchor."
"Yes, Khan."
After the fleet sets off, they will be greeted by a long voyage. After Fu Qinghai returned to the captain's room, he opened the armor layers on his body, stepped out of the power armor, prepared to put on light and loose clothes, and then began a routine of meditation.
Fu Qinghai raised his hand and pressed the bedroom button.
The hatch just slid open to both sides.
Fu Qinghai noticed something was wrong.
On the large ten-meter-square bed of the Chapter Leader, lying on the messy white quilt, was a pink-haired beauty with snow-white skin. Zofia only wore simple cotton briefs and a knitted racer-shaped vest. She did not need any lace mesh gauze to add pleasure, and naturally revealed a pure and lustful laziness. The captain in charge was just lazily leaning on the pillow, with a snow-white lotus arm drooping beside the bed, holding a wine glass in his hand, and two empty glass bottles poured next to the big bed.
All wines from Quatis.
Smelly bitches...
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Do you know how expensive this wine is?
One person actually drank two bottles.
"Green Mountain"
Zofia raised her head and whispered.
Her eyes were blurry, her eyelashes were thick and long, and her face was flushed, making her freckles less obvious. The girl raised her hand and rubbed her messy hair, revealing her clean and white armpit skin. She slightly pursed her lips and muttered:
"My mechanical dream... seems to be happening again, hiccup! I just want to drink some wine, come on, to relieve it."
The corners of Fu Qinghai's mouth twitched.
I don’t think you are having a mechanical dream.
I think you have a fever.
Fu Qinghai didn't say anything. He casually took out the Pym ray pistol from the drawer and shot himself in the head. After shrinking in size, he walked barefoot to the bed and sat down. The tip of his nose smelled a body fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol. When the girl saw this, she immediately rolled out of bed. Instead of standing up, she moved in front of the man. Zofia knelt in front of Fu Qinghai with her feet together, looking up at the man with a foolish smile, holding his knees with both hands.
…
"May I have your name."
The male voice asked in a deep voice.
"Zo, Zofia."
The female voice replied breathlessly.
"full name."
"Zofia Tan Draconis."
"Snapped!"
"ah!"
"Say it again."
"My name is, my name is..."
"Zofia Tan Aoyama's puppy."
"Uh-huh..."
…………
Imperial forces launch a new offensive.
On the battlefield, sometimes a single piece of key information can change a lot. After the Imperial Army changed its style of play, although the losses of the Imperial Guard suddenly increased, the Dark Mechanic God felt very uncomfortable. The black machine oil guys who felt that they could not take advantage did not want to continue. They exchanged blood with the empire and gradually began to retreat.
The five Chapters of Astartes assemble once again.
All Astartes Chapters are satisfied with this goal, and even look forward to it, because they are about to face their fallen cousins - the Chaos Space Marines.
Fighting against a Chaos Space Marine always brings satisfaction to a Loyalist Space Marine, as it is, in a sense, a process of clearing away his own shame and stigma.
Even 10,000 years later, many historical records have been lost, but people still firmly believe that the culprit and initiator of the great rebellion that swept the entire galaxy 10,000 years ago was the Astartes. Without the Astartes, there would have been no Horus Heresy. Without the Astartes, the bloodshed and atrocities would not have happened. Without the Astartes, the Imperium of Man would have been even more prosperous.
This "theory of Astartes guilt" and "theory of Astartes threat" will still be popular not only today, but also ten thousand years from now. Not only are mortals always looking at these superhuman soldiers with vigilance and fear, but also Many radical inquisitors have been tirelessly investigating historical clues, trying to find evidence to prove that the rebellion ten thousand years ago was caused by the Astartes. So the first thing Robert Guilliman did after getting up and returning to Terra was to re-correct history, retell the history of the rebellion that he had personally experienced, and tell people the truth.
Once the emperor's angel that everyone respected.
It is now a source of rebellion that everyone is wary of.
This is such a strong contrast that any veteran who has experienced both the Great Crusade and the Great Heresy will feel extremely humiliated. The anger of the Space Marines needs to be vented - of course not at civilians. The Chaos Space Marines, the real instigators and culprits, are the best targets to vent to.
For Fu Qinghai, he is a reincarnation and an outsider. He does not have much shame and does not expect to be respected by mortals, but he also likes to fight against the Chaos Space Marines because Khan has never forgotten his "original intention"-by absorbing Traitor Space Marines Geneseed Expansion Chapter.
He even did some analysis.
Among the nine rebel legions, the Night Lords are most likely to harvest pure gene seeds, and most of the bat cubs do not care about Chaos. Sons of Horus, Iron Warriors, and Alpha followed. Their beliefs are usually quite confusing. Some believe in everything, and some believe in nothing. There are four legions left: the Emperor's Children, the Death Guard, the Thousand Sons and the World Eaters. They are the personally chosen legions of Slaanesh, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Khorne respectively. They are the most corrupted, and it is hardest to find the unknown in them. Contaminated gene-seed - but it's not entirely impossible!
The genetic seed composition of the Iron Buddha Chapter also basically conforms to this rule. As the Chief Pharmacy, Kamil personally performs or supervises every transformation operation. He has calculated the genetic seed composition of the Chapter: White Scars account for the absolute majority, followed by the Night Lords, then the Iron Warriors, and less than one company of Emperors. The son of a single-digit world-devourer.
…
Just before the Chaos fleet was about to withdraw from the Iron Ring, a combined fleet composed of five Astartes Chapters finally intercepted them, and a brutal battle was inevitable.
A fight to the death.
The bridge of the Su Zheng.
"Qingshan, Hexulu asked you to command us."
Nasir Amit said in the projection:
"If you have any ideas, tell me quickly."
The Blood Angel's eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
The Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers was impatient.
All the Chapter Leaders' projections looked at Fu Qinghai.
"I don't have any ideas."
Fu Qinghai said calmly:
"What kind of tactics can be used in a standard gang-hopping battle? It's nothing more than, we engage the enemy, we fire, we board the ship, we win, that's it. The machine spirit automatically coordinates and assigns targets. I have only one request..."
"Leave the largest battleship to me."
Fu Qinghai used the power of the commander.
Several chapter leaders looked at each other:
"Can."
Marshal Hershrow has really found a good job for me. Fu Qinghai thought to himself. I was asked to command four Astartes Chapters. How could these arrogant warriors listen to me? Besides, what other tricks can be accomplished by joining a gang?
Standardized combat procedures.
Standardized meat grinders and slaughterhouses.
"The enemy is waiting for us in the distance, let's go!"
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and ordered.
The holographic projections of the Chapter Leader went out one after another.
The combined fleet divided into several groups and rushed towards the Chaos Fleet.
Many people know that White Scars are known for their speed, but many people don't know that White Scars have another label besides speed - they are good at space naval battles.
Although the space naval battles in the Warhammer 40K universe are very similar to the sailing battleship naval battles in the real world - broadside confrontation with enemies, exchange of cannon fire, jumping gangs to seize ships... it can be said that the elements are complete, but the two are still very different. The biggest difference: in the era of sail battleships, ships fought on the sea, and the combat environment was approximately a two-dimensional plane. Space naval battles are in a three-dimensional space. With one more dimension and one more vertical axis, the shape of the war will be very different. . Naval warfare officers are required to have extremely strong spatial awareness and orientation discrimination capabilities.
White scars are one of the best.
So, who among the Space Marines is less adept at space naval combat? Space Wolves. Space Wolf Space Marines have a more sensitive sense of smell than other Space Marines. They like to rely on their sense of smell and intuition to make judgments. However, smell and intuition may be miraculous in close combat, but in space naval battles It has almost no effect.
The fleet is advancing rapidly.
Through the armored portholes, one could see hazy, bright and dim splendid nebulae and stellar dust swirling overhead, enough to cause people who are prone to motion sickness to feel dizzy, nauseated and vomiting. The edges of the meteorite belt and the stellar ring are constantly receding. The Chaos Fleet is trying to lead the United Astartes Fleet into a complex space. They are like jackals circling a corpse, circling the star.
"Space mine detected ahead!"
Eugene said in a deep voice.
"They even laid out minefields in advance."
Fu Qinghai smiled and said:
"You're quite prepared."
Mines, stars, and meteorites form a complex battlefield. Although there are hundreds of kilometers of vacuum between them, the Astartes Combined Fleet has almost no room for maneuver. They are caught between minefields, star orbits, and planetary atmospheres below. The narrow space prevents a ship the size of the "Su Zheng" from turning around at maximum thrust. A smallest delay or a wrong order will cause the battle barge to hit a mine, or fall into the planet's atmosphere and be torn apart, or The ionosphere that rushes into the star burns the keel.
Hands tied.
It was like two strong men fighting hand to hand in a coffin.
At this moment.
Other Chapter warships have opened fire in advance.
As if a beast suddenly woke up from its silence, the baffle covering the bow of the ship opened, and at the same time turned on the fury of the macro cannon and torpedoes. Multiple battleships rained down huge cannonballs loaded with high explosives and hopping torpedoes loaded with even more dangerous creatures, raining down on the Chaos fleet. Fu Qinghai didn't understand why the Bloodthirster and the Flesh Tearer were launching gang-hopping torpedoes now.
A giant torpedo passed by the battleship.
Fu Qinghai inadvertently looked sideways.
It seems that there is a red cross on the black torpedo.
Um?
Fu Qinghai suddenly thought of it.
Blood Angels subgroup, red cross on black background...
Death company! They dropped the Death Company!
"Tsk, tsk, did you use this trick when you came up?"
Fu Qinghai raised his head and scanned the vast starry sky and the fierce battlefield through the armored porthole. He already knew from the last time he jumped into a gang and captured the enemy. This time the opponent was the Iron Warriors. It is said that Perturabo himself did not like to observe the battlefield through the portholes, thinking it was an ineffective behavior. The Iron Warrior Primarch asked the Legion to The flagship has sealed all the portholes, allowing only detectors, sensors and auspices to survey the battlefield - this is an example of the Iron Lord being too superstitious about data. I wonder if the battleships in the Chaos Fleet also have portholes.
Watch and watch.
Fu Qinghai suddenly had a plan in mind.
"The technical sergeant immediately went to the torpedo deck, temporarily modified the anti-ship torpedo, removed the metal chaff and thermal flares from the close defense weapon array, and installed them on the tail of the torpedo."
The Chapter Leader shouted an order.
"Yes, Khan."
Many technical sergeants followed the order and left.
"Khan, do you want to fire?"
Eugene looked up and asked.
Other Chapter fleets were already caught in a fierce firefight.
There was still no movement from the Iron Buddha Chapter fleet.
"etc."
Fu Qinghai stared at several screens and said.
On the auspicious screen, rune light spots of various sizes were marked, and densely packed space mines of various types were quietly suspended in the void. Space mines are usually used to blockade airports or as one of the planetary orbital defense facilities. They can occasionally be used as a means to block pursuing troops. Like torpedoes, they will not be intercepted by void shields, but temporarily deployed mines are often messy. Dense, as it is now, the minefields are very small and somewhat disorganized.
"Khan, the torpedo modification is completed!"
A technical sergeant said on the communication channel.
"Very good... torpedo salvo ready."
Fu Qinghai said slowly.
"Torpedo deck prepared."
The crew quickly reported back.
"The light spear is charged and ready."
"The spear array is ready."
"Macro cannon is loaded and ready."
"The macrocannon array is loaded."
"Jostar."
"I'm here, Khan."
"Leave one company as a reserve, under my personal command. All senior officers and company commanders of the battle group will lead their respective companies to jump gang torpedoes and Thunderhawk gunboats."
"yes!"
All arrangements are completed.
Fu Qinghai stared closely at the big screen.
The rotating three-dimensional projection outlines the route of the Chaos fleet. The green dotted line represents one's own route, and the red dotted line represents the enemy's route. The intricate lines are intertwined among minefields, meteorites, and stars.
Like a dancing ballet dancer.
The chase continued, and the Chaos fleet collectively deflected to a certain angle, preparing to avoid the star ahead. The space in this place was particularly narrow, just sandwiched between the minefield and the meteorite, and it was also located at the bow torpedo launcher of the Iron Buddha Chapter fleet. Within the shooting angle, there is only a large minefield in the middle.
It's now!
"Fire the arrow!"
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and shouted.
A battleship and three cruisers fired a row of torpedoes at once. The anti-ship torpedoes quickly passed through the minefield. The torpedoes carried temporarily assembled metal chaff and heat flares, and ignited one after another. The space mines in the minefield suddenly began to tremble, and the heat induced The signal of the bomb triggered the mine's sensor, and the space mines started their propulsion devices and chased several torpedoes.
A single move affects the whole body.
The entire minefield suddenly started to move.
Like a swarm of angry wasps that had their hive stabbed, the space mines followed the wake of the anti-ship torpedoes, forming a trail of iron grapes. A few anti-ship torpedoes were quickly exploded by the Chaos fleet's close-defense weapon array. However, the plasma heat source and infrared signal generated by the explosion further stimulated the space mines that followed, and they rushed towards the Chaos warship.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Continuous mine explosions.
Each explosion attracts another.
Until one side of the enemy ship was engulfed in flames.
Multiple void shield arrays can partially deflect light and have a unique visual interference effect. When external firepower hits the void shield, it will begin to vibrate like gelatin, and colorful colors will appear on the surface.
The specific combination of these colors can show the current local strength level of the shield and how much more attacks it can withstand. In addition, firepower of different intensities can stimulate energy flares of different ranges on the void shield.
Normally, experienced naval officers can judge whether the enemy warship's void shield generator is on the verge of overload based on the state of the enemy's shield when it is attacked.
But now, everything is covered in explosion flames.
Fu Qinghai did not wait for the Void Shield to appear and directly ordered:
"Light spear macrocannon volley! Jump gang torpedo attack!"
While you are sick, I will kill you!
The iron pagodas bent their bows and set arrows.
Another wave of shots was thrown.
This wave of shooting and heavy arrows is especially deadly!
The golden beams and macro cannon shells went straight through the minefield and arrived first! Because the mine arrangement was too messy and dense, a few anti-ship torpedoes dragged away too many space mines. Several vacuum channels appeared in the minefield. The boarding torpedoes followed these empty channels and went straight to the enemy ship, and then they arrived!
The space between the two fleets was pierced by the wakes of searing volleys of lances and torpedoes. The enemy ship shook in the impact, and more than a dozen decks lost pressure. Huge metal petals tore from its flanks, followed by geysers of white mist and water ice, followed by the vacuum-swollen corpses of the crew.
"The enemy is hit by an arrow! The enemy is hit by an arrow!"
Eugene shouted excitedly.
He also learned the words of the Chapter Leader.
"snort."
OK, this trick works!
Although he was equally excited in his heart, Qingshan Khan remained calm on the surface and just hummed softly, showing his masterly demeanor, as if everything was expected.
"The battleship turned around, bypassed the minefield, and prepared to engage the enemy."
The battle leader ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Khan!"
