Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 487

“Little Fasha, little Fasha! Look, look, look! The aliens haven’t caught up! They have launched a patrol formation, and the enemy’s forward fleet has also slowed down!” Veronica shouted excitedly.

“I know, I know! Sit down quickly!” Faxia pushed the fleshy girl away from her with difficulty, and promptly sent the information he saw to the Epic.

“Captain, according to the displacement speed of the signal wave source, the enemy light cruiser fleet has slowed down, and the Barracuda fighter jets have also launched a peripheral escort nearby and there is no pursuit.”

Horatio and Louise looked at each other, surprised at this unexpected turn of events.

“Then what are you waiting for? Seize the opportunity and launch the No. 2 torpedo!”

Epic fired its torpedoes ruthlessly at the lame prey it was overtaking.

At the same time, while watching the torpedoes being fired, Horatio received the communication signal from the Communications Department and personally issued a new combat order: “This is the Epic. All attack ships that receive this order will immediately release all the Furious weapons on board.” The interceptors assembled with the Skyhawk Squadron and harassed the enemy fleet under the tactical orders of Wing Commander Anya Fasha.”

Taking the initiative to expose is to let the enemy fleet discover the scale and momentum of our aircraft! “

After receiving Horatio’s order, each attack ship immediately released the interceptor formation.

One formation after another gathered together to form a large and complex signal wave source.

After gathering with Skyhawk 1, under the order of Wing Commander Anya Fasha, each formation fired missiles at the patrolling fighter planes in turn.

Seeing the overwhelming missiles coming, the enemy planes hurriedly evaded and asked for help from the mothership.

At this time, the Tau Empire’s rescue fleet became more convinced that it was a strike fleet composed of multiple cruisers and motherships. They reduced their speed and called the nearest large fleet group to come for support, disrupting the original battle plan in order to be safe and conservative. Approach in a fleet battle posture.

Although there were more enemies swarming in, they were preparing for the war and were not moving very fast, which delayed the Epic’s success in hunting down the remaining battleships.

The cabin of the last cargo ship transporting heavy weapons recorded in the intelligence exploded with a dazzling nuclear heat light, and hundreds of Hammerhead Shark hover tanks were destroyed in an instant.

‘Congratulations, Major, you have completed the strategic requirements of Ultramar Command. This batch of armaments is finished. “Lina showed a rare expression of approval, pushed up her elegant yet unfamiliar single-lens gold glasses, and said to Horatio with a smile.

As the only intelligence officer on the ship who is proficient in using the new cipher machine, she has accompanied Horatio on duty for so long. Although she did not directly participate in the battle, she watched the battle of the Epic throughout the whole process and compared and confirmed the destroyed ships one by one. .

“You too, Lina.” He said looking at the tattered remains floating in the void.

Combined with the current situation of the enemy’s rescue fleet, a bold and risky plan emerged in Horatio’s mind: With such a good opportunity, why not take advantage of the chaos and destroy all the remaining four ships?

He licked his dry lower lip to moisten it, and shouted to the officers on the bridge in a slightly hoarse voice: “The God Emperor has seen our efforts. We used our wisdom and his blessing to successfully make the enemy feel No fear! Now, we want to expand our victory! Do you have the courage to destroy the remaining cargo ships with me under the eyes of the enemy?”

“Obey your orders! Captain!” Although the people on the bridge were tired, they still squeezed the air out of their lungs and shouted in response under the continuous motivational feedback.

“Very good! Officers and soldiers! As long as we survive, there will be extra food tonight! The drink quota for all posts will be doubled! The hunting bounty will only be much higher!

“He raised his arms and shouted.

“Huha!” The excited shouts became louder and louder, echoing on the bridge of the Romanesque church.

“Quick, quick, quick! Did you hear me? You’re making money!”

Encouraged by money and generous treatment, the officers and soldiers on the lower deck burst out with full energy.

The sailors, who were taking a new round of rest, eagerly rushed into the battle position after having had enough wine and food, and began to take over the shift, loading and warming up the torpedoes.

On the other hand, the Tau Empire, who served as the break-up commander of the vanguard fleet, was worried.

“Commander#, this is the warning message sent when the merchant ship was attacked before. They did not witness a large imperial ship, but if it is a cruise aircraft carrier, it is not impossible.”

The fire warrior was unmoved by the reports from his subordinates.

Holding the beard on his chin with four fingers, he carefully examined the intelligence information. He compared it with some of the attacks on merchant ships he had received before.

Found one thing in common:

That is that these damages are mainly caused by torpedoes.

If it were a cruiser cruising alone, how could the enemy ship not be seen at all within the effective and precise range of the torpedo?

After comparing various intricate information, the commander of the breaking fleet opened a certain piece of video data that was still under review and investigation.

This brief video was pieced together from the shattered computers of several small ships that had been attacked recently.

Inside was a phantom of a ship that was forced to appear after its camouflage was shattered by the flames of the Seeker missile explosion. It seemed to be some new type of ship that had never been seen before.

As the current commanders of the T’au Empire’s Diplomatic Detachment, they also serve as staff advisors in assessing current threats.

He believed that this was an opponent, a new type of break-up ship produced by the Human Empire that had never been seen before, because it had just been used in the war against the Tau Empire.

“Navigator, plan the navigation. Our ship will leave the formation and move forward at cruising speed.” The Fire Warrior Commander issued his own order that violated the fleet regulations.

“Commander # , this is not allowed by the ether.”

“We are rescuing our compatriots, which is in line with the Greater Good.”

On the bridge, the operators sat up solemnly, looked at each other, and began to execute the captain’s order.

An Envoy-class light cruiser accelerated to break away from the fleet and headed forward.

Unlike other Envoy-class ships, it was more heavily armed. While its hanging points were fully loaded, it also carried two Warden-class destroyers.

This was a meritorious commerce-breaking ship of the Tau Empire that won the first place in the raid. All the crew members on the ship were experienced and elite.

The Eagle One, which was hiding in the dark and observing, noticed this situation while organizing other formations to launch harassment.

Seeing a warship break away from the formation, Fasha initially thought she had seen it wrong, but when she confirmed that the other party had really left the formation and was heading towards the Epic, she took a breath.

“This is the Eagle One. An enemy ship has broken away from the fleet and is heading towards the Epic! “

Horatio received the warning immediately.

Although it was surprising that someone dared to leave the fleet, this possibility was not impossible.

He knew very well that it was the enemy’s own fear that frightened the enemy fleet, and this card was just an empty city plan.

If someone didn’t believe it, there was nothing to do.

But fortunately, it was just a light cruiser. The starry sea was so big that as long as he seized the time, he would still have a chance to slip away from under his nose.

“Captain, the situation has become interesting.

Inquisitor Thei swayed from behind the command throne, and then gracefully and unscrupulously crouched on the upper side of the adamantine chair back of the command throne, looking at the four cargo ships in front of him that were accelerating to flee in the direction of the rescue fleet.

“The tip of the knife licks blood, the sword takes an unconventional approach, if you don’t gamble once, how can you fully explore the potential of the E-type attack ship.” Horatio had a blank expression and bit his lower lip.

Thei’s eyes, which were like soft water but also hidden in ice, squinted at his face, and it was hard to tell whether he knew what was going on or was eager for quick success.

[Interesting—”Show me your adventure battle, Horatio.]
