Chapter 681 Head-on confrontation!
"Leave the warp in five minutes."
"All crew members, get ready."
Navigator Tracy's voice was still as magnetic and pleasant as ever.
Fu Qinghai had no intention of appreciating it at this moment.
Sitting in the captain's chair, he pinched his chin and squinted his eyes in thought.
He went over the attack plan in his mind again.
This plan was very simple, and could even be said to be a rough plan, full of on-the-spot command and improvisation. Although the Legion fleet followed the battle moon all the way and observed the ruins of the destroyed imperial world, it still knew very little about this kind of Ork armed satellite.
Moreover, according to the information obtained from the survivors, the orcs had more than one battle moon. The survivors described the appearance of these battle moons differently, and it is very likely that their functions were also inconsistent. Therefore, the Space Marines could not formulate a thorough and detailed plan based on this information.
The core of the plan was still boarding, which was the most powerful weapon of the Space Marines in space naval battles.
But how to board also had its own rules. First of all, how could the fleet avoid the various defensive weapons on the battle moon?
Fu Qinghai proposed ideas from a technical perspective.
All spaceships of the human empire, whether merchant ships or warships, are equipped with gravity detection equipment to depict the gravity distribution in the galaxy before the ship enters an unfamiliar galaxy. Because gravity is invisible and invisible to the naked eye, a small neutron star or a dim white dwarf may have a mass beyond imagination, while a large gas planet may have a small mass, so gravity detection must rely on corresponding equipment.
Now it is basically certain that the "invisible attack" of the battle moon is a gravity storm. Gravity storm is a relatively abstract adjective. Strictly speaking, it should be described as follows: the battle moon can create a large range of gravity field disorder through some device. So can the fleet avoid this gravity field disorder? The answer is unknown.
Since the empire worlds found by the fleet, whether planets, satellites or space docks, are only a pile of wreckage, so the space warriors do not know the specific speed and range of the gravity storm. But since it is already known that the orcs will use gravity storm attacks, it can be prevented in advance-just use the gravity detection equipment as radar.
In fact, as long as there is advance preparation, the so-called "invisible force" is not so "invisible". Fu Qinghai speculated that those imperial worlds should have been caught off guard by the sudden gravity storm. Of course, as a fixed facility that cannot be moved, there is no way to avoid it even if it is known in advance.
But the fleet is not a fixed facility.
In the past, the usual practice of spacecraft was to start the gravity detection equipment for scanning before entering an unfamiliar galaxy, because the gravity field in a cosmic area usually does not change drastically in a very short time, so the gravity detection equipment can be turned off after the image is drawn. Now it is necessary to keep the gravity detection equipment turned on at all times.
As long as you can "see" the gravity storm.
It is possible to avoid it to a certain extent.
Assuming that the fleet successfully avoids the gravity storm - this assumption is somewhat too ideal. Assuming that the fleet successfully approaches the battle moon after paying an acceptable loss and enters the attack range of the ship-borne weapons, then what type of weapons should be used to attack or even destroy the battle moon?
Macro cannon, light spear, torpedo... Of course, there are also theoretically the most powerful weapons to execute the extermination order.
Fu Qinghai first ruled out the last option, not only because the Iron Pagoda Corps no longer had the Extinction Order weapons, but even if there were some in the Corps' arsenal, he would not choose to use them - because using these precious weapons to attack the Battle Moon is extremely wasteful and is a very cost-effective option.
Why do you say that?
We have to start with the principles of these weapons.
Don't simply imagine these Extinction Order weapons as a powerful big bomb that can be thrown at the target planet and blown to pieces with a "bang". Its principle is completely different.
The Modalis atmospheric missile, also known as the "atmospheric incineration torpedo", works by igniting the oxygen free radicals of all gases in the planet's atmosphere, triggering a chain combustion reaction to burn all oxidizable substances in the atmosphere - so in fact, as long as you hide in a deep enough underground bunker, you can escape.
For this weapon to be effective, the target planet must first have an oxygen-containing atmosphere. Orcs need to breathe oxygen, and there will probably be oxygen supply inside the Battle Moon. However, the Battle Moon is not a natural planet but an artificial celestial body. Its interior can be divided into countless compartments like a battleship. Just by sealing the hatches - just like isolating a vacuum leak, the chain combustion reaction can be blocked to burn the entire planet.
The bipolar cyclone torpedo, referred to as "cyclone torpedo", works by detonating all the energy of the planet's core. It is obvious that a small torpedo certainly cannot have the energy to blow up a planet. The target planet is actually blown into several pieces by the huge energy contained in its own core.
So for this weapon to be effective, the target planet must first have a core. Usually, planets with earthquakes, volcanoes, and magnetic fields are planets with cores. The moon has no core, and the Battle Moon is very likely to have no core either. Because according to the surviving naval crew, a large number of orc warships once flew out of the Battle Moon. Fu Qinghai suspected that it was either a shipyard or a portal inside, but not a core.
As for the virus bomb, the principle is even more direct and clear. The Life Eater virus targets all organic life forms, whether animals, plants, or bacteria and fungi. But if you throw a few virus bombs into the tomb world of the Necrons, then there is no doubt that the Necrons will be unscathed.
In fact, whether it is the bipolar cyclone torpedo or the Modalis atmospheric missile, it is just a fuse and a detonator to detonate the huge energy contained in the planet itself. But even so, they are still more powerful than ordinary torpedoes. The Iron Pagoda Regiment has emptied its inventory, but other regiments may still have it. If they insist on firing these two torpedoes at the Battle Moon as ordinary torpedoes...
Fu Qinghai can't control it.
In his impression, in the original novel, when the Battle Moon descended over Terra, the reorganized Imperial Fist Fleet once launched many cyclone torpedoes at the Battle Moon regardless of everything. Because at that time they had no choice, they didn't understand the Battle Moon, and could only try to fire the most powerful weapons in their hands. In retrospect, the damage caused by these cyclone torpedoes was not much higher than that of ordinary high-explosive torpedoes.
"Kalong..."
The Supremacy shook violently.
A dazzling film of light quickly passed along the hull, and the bizarre and strange scene outside the armored glass dome turned into the dark and boundless space in the blink of an eye.
The fleet returned to the real universe.
Fu Qinghai put away his thoughts and stood up from the captain's seat.
"Contact other hunting groups and reorganize the formation immediately!"
...
The battle moon was still hanging high in the planetary orbit of the Ending Hive World. The aircraft kept going back and forth between the surface of Ending and the battle moon, busy transporting supplies. The entire hive world was a lamb to be slaughtered.
Suddenly, the quietly hovering battle moon moved. The surface of this artificial celestial body sprayed booster flames, and the body turned slowly and laboriously. The ugly big face that originally faced the surface of Ending turned towards the space direction little by little. Those inter-orbital aircraft that kept going back and forth suddenly swam back into the mouth of the battle moon like frightened tadpoles.
In the galaxy, the dense and dazzling wake was like a comet, and the huge battleship cluster was accelerating violently all the way, rushing towards the slowly rotating battle moon like an arrow. The space battleships formed an attack formation outside the range of the orcs' gravity weapons, seven powerful battle barges, dozens of strike cruisers, and a dozen smaller destroyers and frigates.
Fu Qinghai supported his hands in front of the strategic platform, staring at the moon in the holographic projection with sharp eyes.
The electroplated steel plates on the surface were painted blue-black, with two irregular eyes, one long and one short, and the bulges on the surface outlined two long horns bending downward, a wide and huge square chin and a grinning fang mouth...
"Dead Skull Clan."
Fu Qinghai read out the enemy's name.
It is very easy to identify because they made the armored shell of the battle moon look like a clan totem.
The Death Skull Clan is the most famous looters and scavengers among the orcs. They are first-rate in rummaging through garbage and picking up scraps on the battlefield, and are extremely good at cleaning up the battlefield. Unlike the Evil Sun Clan who love red and the Snake Bite Clan who love green, the Death Skull Clan loves blue, which is a sign.
Orcs like to pick up scraps, and they all have the "power of thinking", but the Death Skull Clan is almost the strongest in this regard. They can almost modify the weapons and equipment of all races they pick up, and then use them for themselves. The orcs mentioned earlier, who attacked the Necron Tomb World, used Necron technology to build a Necron Orc Army, and then hijacked the Tombstone Gate to reversely invade other Tomb Worlds.
They are from the Death Skull Clan.
"No wonder they didn't use the gravity storm to directly destroy the Hive World, but sent ground troops to occupy it..."
Fu Qinghai understood in his heart.
It was for looting and plundering.
At this time, through the holographic projection, it can be seen that the battle moon slowly rotated while opening its jaws, and a large number of warships flew out of its mouth. These warships are large and small, and it is difficult to identify their specific models and tonnage. Some are obviously the results of the orcs' own assembly, and most of them are modified from merchant ships and warships seized from humans.
These ships form a mottled dark cloud.
Blocking between the battle moon and the White Scars fleet.
"Charge, crush them, and burn everything!"
The war captain of the Berserkers has already shouted excitedly.
Fu Qinghai looked at everything with a calmer eye, adjusting his tactics and response plans as the battle unfolds. He turned his head and looked at the crew responsible for the detection array:
"Gravity field scan situation?"
"No abnormalities have been found for the time being, Khan."
The technical crew replied loudly.
"Keep the formation and keep moving forward."
Fu Qinghai gave the order calmly.
The orcs were forced to make a bad move.
Fu Qinghai thought to himself while gnashing his teeth.
The Legion fleet had just arrived at the outer edge of the galaxy and rushed towards the Endin Hive World at full speed. The goal was very clear, while the orcs' battle moon was still immersed in the ground attack. This artificial celestial body was so large and clumsy that by the time it realized that a human fleet had appeared in the galaxy, it was too late to rotate and face the enemy with the most weapons, so it could only send out its follower fleet to try to delay time.
This was exactly what Fu Qinghai wanted.
The Legion fleet needs to be close enough to the Battle Moon to initiate a boarding. Now, as long as it approaches the Orc fleet, a melee situation can be formed. In the melee, it will gradually approach the Battle Moon. In this way, the Battle Moon may not be able to use the gravity storm, which can greatly reduce losses and increase the probability of success.
The leading Orc warship was the first to enter the Light Spear range.
"First hunting group, free shooting."
Fu Qinghai delegated the right to fire to the war group leader.
"Fire, fire, destroy the aliens!"
Mandulatu shouted impatiently.
A huge golden energy beam cut through the void, causing a devastating blow to the Orc fleet. Due to the lack of a shield system, many modified merchant ships exploded the moment they were hit. Some warships captured from the Human Empire can temporarily survive the Light Spear volley because of their void shields. In response, more Orc warships rushed forward.
"Greenskins can never refuse a provocation."
Targujin Khan of the second hunting group roared:
"All gun decks are ready to fire!"
Fu Qinghai shook his head silently in his heart at Targujin's words, but did not express any opinions. He knew the setting very well that the wisdom and strategy of the Orks would increase with the increase in number. The more orcs there are, the greater the Waaagh energy is. The greater the Waaagh energy is, the smarter the orcs are.
The so-called experience accumulated by Targujin and his team in the past in fighting the orcs, such as the orcs are stupid, the orcs are reckless, and the orcs will only rush forward, is just because the number of orcs they encountered is not large enough. Once a certain number of orcs are gathered, the orcs can show rich tactical changes.
The White Scar Fleet was divided into several hunting groups and attacked in the form of echelons, stabbing at the follower fleet of the Battle Moon. The orc warships and the captured imperial warships were cut and melted by lasers and hit violently by shells, and a short flame was ignited in an instant. The Space Marines' interceptors shot out from their battle barges, engaging in a melee with the Ork fighters that came to meet them.
[The White Scar fleet you control destroyed the Ork warships Explosive Cleaver, Freak, and Big Gold Fang...]
[Calculating assimilation points reward]
[Reward assimilation points 9627 points]
Since the beginning of the major events in the plot line, Fu Qinghai has received a reminder from the Samsara World for the first time. Although his fleet has not yet entered the attack echelon, the Samsara World has obviously counted part of the results caused by the warships of other battle groups on him, which is also within his expectations.
"Ebony and Killing Intent, pay attention to maintain the formation."
Fu Qinghai leaned forward slightly to remind him.
After all, Qingshan Khan has seen big scenes and has personally executed the Extermination Order twice. He will not be overjoyed and ecstatic because of the mere 9,000 assimilation points. He was still calmly commanding the Legion fleet, seemingly intertwined with the Orc warships in disorder, but in fact, gradually approaching the real target, the Battle Moon.
The seven hunting group fleets were dispersing along the wonderful route carefully designed by Qingshan Khan. On the screen, you can see that the seven green arrow dotted lines suddenly separated, turning into seven winding dragons that plunged into the dense red dots like clouds, and then those red dots went out one by one.
The comprehensive performance of human warships was much better than that of orc warships, so this result was not surprising. What was really rare was that during this process, the seven hunting group fleets looked intertwined and chaotic, but in fact, the distance between each hunting group fleet and the Battle Moon was shrinking synchronously, which means that the seven hunting group fleets were actually moving towards the target in unison.
This is the art of naval warfare of the White Scars.
Complex plans require perfect execution.
The large and small warships of humans and orcs faced each other sideways like in the era of sailing warships, staggered past each other and then spit out a large number of laser shells at each other. The only difference is that the two-dimensional sea surface becomes a three-dimensional void, which means that a warship may face attacks from 360 different directions, so it is particularly important to maintain the formation.
The Iron Pagoda Fleet is the center of this formation.
The Iron Pagoda Fleet also started a firefight with the enemy.
[You destroyed the orc warship...]
[Calculating assimilation points reward]
[You destroyed the orc warship...]
[Calculating assimilation points reward]
The reminder sounds of the reincarnation world sounded one after another, but Fu Qinghai had no intention of paying attention to the points earned, nor did he pay attention to the battle situation of a certain warship, including the flagship he was on. His eyes were focused on the entire battle situation, scanning back and forth on the dozen screens around the bridge, and from time to time he had to remind a certain hunting group fleet that was too advanced or too lagging because of its obsession with chasing the enemy, and correct these complex and dynamic curves.
Among them, the Iron Pagoda Corps' Xiaolong Squadron performed particularly well. The powerful performance of the Sword Tail interceptor and the exquisite skills of the White Scar pilots turned the chaotic fight into a one-sided crushing massacre. The battlefield in the void was full of dangers. The Space Marine pilots needed to avoid the close defense firepower of the enemy warships while passing through the large net interwoven by the golden light column and macro cannon shells. The last thing they needed to do was to bite the butt of the Ork fighter and shoot it in the air.
Nerves were tense, and they would be gone in a flash if they were not careful.
Extremely dangerous, but also passionate and renal.
Fu Qinghai did not dare to turn his head to look at the aircraft battle scene outside the window, nor did he want to pay attention to the real-time situation on a certain screen. He wanted to stick to his command position, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help but join in. The huge temptation of personally piloting a Swordtail-class interceptor to take down countless Ork fighters and become the king of air combat is simply difficult for a White Scar to resist.
The Legion fleet is about to penetrate the Orc fleet.
The battle moon is getting closer.
So close are the sensors and auspices of the Suzheng that they can even scan and map the surface of the battle moon.
Fu Qinghai stared at the holographic projection.
This moon is undoubtedly huge, with a weird and slightly funny shape. The orc's usual rough and messy but practical engineering skills allowed him to identify that the moon should be transformed from a natural satellite.
He saw that the craters on the surface were hollowed out and turned into caves, with dark black interiors embedded with lighting lights. Buried underground hangars extend from the cavern, bathed in the brilliant light of stars. Crudely constructed towers, docks, and other jumbled structures left swollen scars on the surface.
Its huge face squinted into space, so the Space Marines could only see it from the side: upturned brows as big as a continental shelf, a rockery-like nose, a jutting jaw made of a complex jumble of scaffolding and buildings, a long up to one hundred kilometers. There are indeed things larger than this in the galaxy, but none of them were created by the Orks.
Under the watchful eye of Fu Qinghai.
The surface of the moon suddenly lit up with dense clusters of light.
As tens of thousands of artillery fired simultaneously.
The battle moon awakens in a mad flash.
A large number of shells fired from the weapons array on the surface of the battle moon rushed into the Legion fleet. When they hit the staggered spaceships, the void shields crumbled and shone with energy flares. Some small battleships had their shields shattered by saturation strikes. A frigate broke away from the formation of the Berserker Chapter, and white light erupted from the cracked hull.
"keep going!"
Fu Qinghai ordered without any fluctuation in his tone.
This is called an “acceptable loss.”
"Each hunting group, keep distance, maintain speed, act according to the original plan, and do not disrupt the fleet formation."
Fu Qinghai stood on the command platform on the bridge of the Su Zheng, reminding all battle groups and fleets to maintain their formation and not collapse.
Targujin Khan made an inarticulate grunt in his throat, but made no objection.
Just then the technical crew suddenly exclaimed:
"Khan, look!"
Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked over. The technical crewman raised his hand and pointed at the screen in front of him. The gravity detection equipment remained on according to his request and scanned and drew the same image over and over again. However, just now, the originally unchanged curve suddenly began to rise and fall exaggeratedly.
It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s finally here!
"All crew members, prepare for the gravity attack!"
Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked forward and shouted loudly.
The Emperor-class battleship has the longest detection range sensor array and shipboard auspicious device in the human empire. The Suzheng was the first to sense the gravity changes in the surrounding space. His instructions and gravity change data were transmitted to the strategic consoles of all other hunting group warships through the command data link. All captains saw the rapidly rising gravity.
According to the planned rehearsal plan, all the warships of the first hunting group, which originally maintained a unified formation, began to spread out and evade like iron sand avoiding the negative pole of a magnet. In order to avoid the gravity storm in front, they even ran into the surrounding Orc warships. The turrets, antennas, close-in defense guns and signal towers on the surface of the warships scraped against the Orc warships, sending out sparks and debris.
At this time, erratic flashes of light began to flicker in the craters of the moon's hollows. On the electric tower on the surface of the moon, a twisting white energy ribbon rose up and tied itself into a thick lightning rope. After gaining enough energy, it suddenly crackles like a whip. An invisible force split open the orc's own ship forward, and then passed straight through along the path of the second hunting group of the White Scar Fleet.
Three cruisers were directly hit, and the void shields were instantly disabled. They exploded with a bang, the bow and stern folded up, and the middle was compressed very small. Before the explosion, the battleship was once pushed by the momentum and rolled sideways against invisible resistance. The shock wave after a reactor rupture spreads far.
"The Emperor is above, the War Eagle is above."
Baoshu Lige stared at the spreading circle of debris left behind after the battleship exploded and murmured to himself:
"I've never seen a weapon like this before."
It's one thing to observe the ruins of an Imperial world ravaged by a Battle Moon; it's another to witness a Battle Moon destroying the warships of your fellow battle-brothers in an instant. Although he had expected it, the chief storm prophet was still shocked by the terrifying destructive ability displayed by the orcs fighting the moon.
Before the damage report could be assessed, the electric tower on the surface of the battle moon flashed again, and the twisted electric whips gathered again. This time, the gravity storm aimed at the first hunting group, grazing the front section of Manduratu's flagship, the Scarred Sword. The bow of the ship dissipated into a kaleidoscope-like spray of particles, collapsing into a shimmering mass of broken metal and air. of clouds. Not only did the bow of the ship disappear, but the giant battle barge also flipped backwards in a full circle during the gravity impact.
It was like being struck by a god.
"Mandu Latu! Baoshu Lige!"
Upon seeing this, Fu Qinghai hurriedly shouted:
"Report status!"
"We are still...still alive, Qingshan."
Mandu Latu replied with difficulty:
"But if there is another blow like this, we may not be able to hold on."
His voice was mixed with noisy environmental background sounds, piercing sirens, the pained wails of the crew, and the loud shouts and intensive footsteps of damage control rescue personnel.
"We must get closer and attack the surface of the moon directly. The Battle Moon launches a gravity storm to attack us regardless of its own fleet blocking the front, which shows that the orcs are afraid! They know that we can threaten the Battle Moon itself!"
Fu Qinghai excitedly issued the order:
"Listen to my instructions, speed up everyone, don't worry about the formation, go directly through the orc fleet and penetrate them!"
The speeds of different battleships are different, some are fast and some are slow, so if you want to maintain the fleet formation, you must unify the average speed. Just now, in order to avoid the gravity storm, the formation of the seven hunting group fleets has been disrupted. Battle Moon will launch a gravity storm regardless of accidental damage to its own fleet. In this case, there is no need to continue to reorganize the formation and just rush over.
Fu Qinghai's orders were implemented.
The legion fleet began to change direction in order.
"All battleship torpedo decks begin loading!"
Although there was no direct confrontation with the enemy at close range, no bloody fight with swords and swords, the fierce and cruel space naval battle still made Fu Qinghai's adrenaline surge. He paced back and forth on the bridge deck and ordered at the same time:
"The fire control system assigns targets on the lunar surface to target structures with high-energy responses."
The sky around the hive world is filled with debris. Broken orbital platforms and Ork warships are floating on shoals of debris, posing danger to navigation on both sides. The Orks were eager to approach the human warships and engage in close combat, while the Space Marines simply ignored the approaching Orc ships, with the only goal in their eyes being the Battle of the Moon. They sailed quickly in the metal-choked vacuum, reaching the limit of speed. The large battleship couldn't avoid the debris and simply crashed into it.
The legion fleet completely penetrated the orc fleet!
"All fleets are ready."
The gun deck officer looked at Fu Qinghai.
The battleship's Thinker system is running. In the green holographic projection on the surface of the battle moon, there are many estimated torpedo impact locations marked with red circles and crosses. Fu Qinghai glanced at these attack points and nodded in agreement.
"All ships, open fire."
Fu Qinghai ordered in a deep voice.
Each torpedo was larger than a space fighter. The dense torpedoes slipped out of the launch tubes of the battle barge and the strike cruiser. The tail engine suddenly lit up and rushed towards the battle moon at an increasing speed. , while also avoiding the aftermath of the gravity impact from the other direction.
After penetrating the group of orc warships that came to intercept, the legion fleet is now very close to the battle moon. The gravity well depicted by the gravity detection equipment was like a gravity whip running through the void, lashing them harder.
The middle section of a battleship of the Sixth Hunting Group was completely dented and collapsed, and a violent explosion occurred at the stern. The out-of-control frigate was swallowed up by the plasma fire, and the wreckage of the bow and stern were separated. The flying bow hit another cruiser, causing damage to its side. Three Ork destroyers stared at the strike cruiser and surrounded the wreckage like hungry wolves.
"They will pay for it!"
The Destroyer Chapter Master clenched his fists and roared.
"Torpedo deck reloaded."
Fu Qinghai paid no attention to the cruiser and stared at the Orc Moon in front of him with murderous eyes. He didn't even wait for the first salvo of torpedoes to reach the moon's surface before ordering all the warships to load torpedoes and prepare for the second round of launch.
"Get ready to launch a second round of torpedoes."
The first round of launches reached the moon, bombarding its surface. The dazzling light of the monstrous flames instantly illuminated the entire moon surface. The ring-shaped hills shook due to the impact, and tall ejecta erupted directly and spread into space. The density of fire coming from the battle moon has been significantly reduced.
No matter what type of shield the Battle Moon uses, at least it is now certain that it cannot protect against torpedoes.
"The torpedoes are loaded!"
reported the gun deck officer.
"Fire!"
Fu Qinghai ordered without hesitation.
The torpedo cluster rushed towards the battle moon again.
Although the lunar surface suffered huge damage, there were still thousands of various weapons unleashing their full power on the approaching warships. The void shield was throbbing, as if it would collapse in the next second. The battle barge rocked under the heavy fire, and several smaller ships were destroyed.
At this time, the fleet is very close to the battle moon, close enough to perform various gang jumps, and close enough to even see the moon's surface with the naked eye: the moon's surface rotates slowly, and there is a giant dock hidden in a round hole, where thousands of quilted ships are parked. Captured Imperial ships, many undergoing crude refits.
"Seal the outer bulkhead, issue weapons to the Chapter's servants, and activate the automatic defense devices in the corridor."
Fu Qinghai pressed his knuckles on the podium and said.
"It's done, Khan!"
The men next to him responded crisply.
He was making preparations before jumping into a gang. This is to prevent the Space Marines from jumping out of the gang. If other orcs happen to jump into the battleship, they will have to rely on mortal servants and the automatic defense system on the battleship to stop them.
Everything is ready.
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath.
He was about to give the order to join the gang.
"A new gravity storm is coming!"
Just then the technical crew suddenly shouted.
"Dodge action!"
The Chapter servant at the helm reminded loudly.
So the battleship Suzheng sank as quickly as possible. The edge of the gravity storm swept across the bridge as the conning tower slid down. Gravity waves disrupted the ship's course, and the Suzheng shook crazily, throwing people everywhere, and even the giant adamantine keel groaned as it struggled to deform.
Fu Qinghai was caught off guard and slammed into his strategy platform, then fell to the ground. The orcs seemed to be mocking his command. He rolled off the suddenly vertical deck and slid along the deck toward the stern. After reacting, Fu Qinghai stepped on the ground with his feet, activated the magnetic lock under his feet, then stood up with a swing, standing vertically in the overturning gravity. Crew after crew flew past him, being dragged toward the artificial gravity well created by the whiplash.
The Suzheng lurched violently to the port side. Through the porthole, Fu Qinghai saw a burning engine nozzle of the battleship fly out and smash into a pile of battleship wreckage. Then the battleship twisted hard to starboard again. At this time, gravity suddenly returned to the correct vector, and the crew members slid off the wall behind.
Unsecured objects fell from the ceiling and alarms sounded deafening. The bright lights went out and were replaced by dark red emergency lumens. People groaned in pain and struggled to stand up with help. There were more than a dozen people who didn't get up and lay motionless on the deck.
"We have lost the port engine, Khan. Part of the aft deck has been severely damaged, and several superstructures are gone. The Chapter's servants and mortal crew have suffered heavy casualties."
Qiao Shida stood up holding the strategic platform and said.
Medical teams rushed to help the injured.
"Return to the right course and continue the attack."
Fu Qinghai held on to the edge of the stage and gritted his teeth.
At this time, the crew member who had just climbed up shouted a warning:
"The gravity weapon is almost full again."
"Hold on!"
Fu Qinghai held the device tightly with his palms and shouted.
He had prepared himself for the worst.
However, the expected attack did not occur.
Around the moon, the empty night instantly turned into mottled day. In the sudden flames, the second round of torpedoes arrived at the moon, and the continuous explosions and fires drowned everything visible to the naked eye. The gravity device buried deep in the ground seemed to have suffered some kind of malfunction due to this torpedo salvo. In short, the gravity disorder around the Suzheng had returned to normal.
I don't know if it's a temporary glitch.
Fu Qinghai immediately seized this opportunity.
"All war groups, follow me and join the gang!"
Fu Qinghai jumped up and rushed towards Gnaku.
"Perhaps you shouldn't take the risk, Khan."
Qiao Shida suddenly grabbed Fu Qinghai.
"What do you mean, isn't this the planned arrangement?"
Fu Qinghai frowned and looked at his first company commander.
"The Iron Buddha Chapter cannot lose you, and the White Scars Legion cannot lose you. Or let me go, boss, we don't know what will be in the moon."
Qiao Shida said in a serious tone:
"This could be a trap."
Fu Qinghai examined Qiao Shida's face and his hard and square dark golden iron chin. He realized that Joestar was a little scared. He was afraid that his chapter leader would die in the battle moon. He didn't know what other weird methods the orcs had besides gravity storm.
"All Space Marines of the White Scars."
Fu Qinghai kept ordering:
"Getting ready to go to the moon."
After speaking, Fu Qinghai turned to Qiao Shida:
"Help me take care of our fleet. Don't worry, so far, nothing has happened beyond my expectations, including the gravity storm that almost killed us just now. I will kill this battle moon, no doubt."
