Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 524

Chapter 520 06.0519: ‘Fight to the Death’

“Horatio, what are you betting on?”

Louise walked to his side. Although she always supported Horatio’s judgment, she didn’t understand what he meant by ‘bet’ at this time.

“According to the information currently known, the Gothic Vanguard Fleet is sailing in the physical universe not far from the control zone in front of us. Vice Admiral Samuel Hood sent them to meet us.

At the same time, as a second insurance to cover the smooth retreat of the pilgrimage ship, Vice Admiral Samuel Hood himself also led part of the main fleet to make a short-distance jump in the subspace. They may arrive from the nearest Mandeville Point.

The options now are obvious. With the pilgrimage ship, we can never survive in the laws of the physical universe and wait for the Vanguard Fleet to arrive. In this case, although I am gambling, this is actually the only way to survive.”

“Go to Mandeville Point and bet on whether Vice Admiral Samuel Hood can arrive in time.” Farida crossed her arms and said triumphantly.

“That’s right, Hood Military Supervisor, it’s just as you said.”

Hearing his recognition and praise, she smiled slightly, but suddenly, her brows were furrowed.

“Are you okay?” Horatio saw her abnormality and hurried forward to ask.

“I… I may not have rested enough.” As soon as the words fell, a feeling of dizziness swept over the blond military supervisor’s head, and before he could stand firmly, he was about to fall backwards.

“Doctor!”

“Captain, what happened?” The fully armed pure angel Sister Arabella ran over quickly.

“Military Supervisor Hood needs medical assistance! God Emperor, what happened suddenly?”

“I know, leave it to me, Captain, please rest assured.” Sister Arabella took the pale Farida from Horatio’s hands and walked to the nearest bridge infirmary.

Horatio took three deep breaths and readjusted his mind.

Now is a critical moment, and there is no room for distraction.

“All attack ships immediately deploy combat formations with the pilgrimage ship as the core.”

When he issued this combat order, everyone knew that Horatio was ready to fight to the death to protect the pilgrimage ship.

On the pilgrimage ship, the surviving refugees bandaged their wounds with the help of the nuns. Countless believers gathered in front of the cathedral, sitting on the dilapidated benches damaged in the battle and praying to the Emperor’s statue.

Pure faith is the conduit of the Emperor. In the galaxy with undercurrents, faith is really useful.

(Pray to the Sisters! I will pray first. Stick out tongue)

“Commander # , the enemy has appeared, and they have deployed a defensive formation around the pilgrimage ship.”

A captain of the Tau Empire reported to the one-eyed Fire Clan officer standing on the bridge.

The latter’s armor was still stained with cobalt blue blood. One of his eyes was wearing a nano conjunctival eye mask, and the other intact eye was filled with endless anger.

“Don’t let them run away, all bullets are ready… No, the Fire Warriors are ready to break through the team!”

The commander of the breakout frowned, and then changed his order.

“They have reached a desperate situation. In this case, we must capture them, let them feel the sincere truth of the Greater Good, and bring their new warships back to the experts of the Earth Clan for thorough research to gain targeted tactical and strategic advantages.”

Under this combat order, the cannons on the Tau Empire warships only locked onto the attack ships, but did not fire.

These cobalt blue aliens tried to resolve the battle by boarding – the Tau used combat suits to execute boarding. Before this, their boarding operations were almost non-existent, because the Tau did not have teleportation technology; after applying combat suits, they immediately found that combat suits were almost as powerful as Terminator teleportation strikes in boarding operations.

Fire warriors equipped with combat suits are difficult opponents to deal with.

Therefore, the Military Affairs Department Manual recommends that Astra Militarum soldiers force close combat and rely on close combat to make up for the gap in equipment and technology.

“Captain! The enemy ship is boosting! Calculated Void Knot 15! Since we need to escort the pilgrim ship, our speed is only 8 Void Knot. The estimated contact time is… one and a half hours.” David Betty’s legs trembled. He felt that he was going to die today, but he didn’t regret it at all, just felt a little regretful.

What exactly is the regret? Maybe there is no chance to prove that he can surpass the brother who looks at him with his nose.

“The enemy did not open fire, but approached at high speed.” Archie raised his eyebrows. As the commissioned lieutenant with the most abundant information on the ship, he was calmer than most people and judged the enemy’s motives: “I guess they want to board and capture us.”

He rationally analyzed the enemy’s tactical motives.

“Then let them go. Archie, issue an armed call order.”

“Now?”

“Yes, anyway, except for a light macro cannon, our ship has no combat force. Attracting the enemy to board is the final contribution.”

“Understood, Captain.” He walked to the command sound array and switched the mode to ‘All Ship Broadcast’.

“Call to Arms! Call to Arms! All personnel, take your positions! All personnel, take your positions!”

Without the torpedoes in the cabin, the interior of the Epic was surprisingly spacious.

The sailors rushed to the assembly point with vigorous steps and began to arrange internal defenses.

The boarding team members were ready to go, guarding the key roads in layers.

The crew went to the armory again to collect weapons, but this time, they did not see the cold-eyed, arrogant, and icy military supervisor.

“Where is the kaolin flower on the iceberg?” They whispered, not being swept by the cold eyes, and some people even felt a little regretful.

“Don’t think about it, take your weapons! Armor! Get ready for battle!” The sailor in charge of discipline said.

In the dim laboratory, the electronic tube screen of the display console flashed a monotonous light on Lati’s expressionless face.

The neural plugs emitted steaming hot air and fell off these whipping mechas and the atonement mecha. The creation of flesh and steel began to move slowly.

As the golden brown high-intensity stimulant was injected into its body from the upper arm by a syringe.

Like a gunpowder barrel with a ignited fuse, these mechas immediately trembled as if they were injected with chicken blood, and their behavior was quick and agitated, surpassing the punishment soldiers equipped with injection devices.

Their dry throats screamed and wailed in agony, and if you listened carefully, you could barely make out vague short sentences in Low Gothic.

Looking at these servitors that could make people feel extremely terrified at a glance, Lati raised the corners of her mouth with pride.

“Fight, my creations, let me check my results.”

The light cruiser of the Tau tribe quickly approached within 700 kilometers.

The fire tribe assault team and allied mercenaries began to board the boarding landing craft.

They were fully armed and checked the weapons in their hands.

“These hostiles killed many compatriots, and they must pay with blood today. (Tau language)”

“For the greater good, for the peace of their souls! (Tau language)” The Tau soldiers raised their arms and shouted together.

In addition to the soldiers wearing combat armor, they also boarded the ship with the indispensable combat uniforms of the Tau tribe.

XV46 ‘Vanguard’ Void Combat Suit is similar in positioning to the Space Marine Terminator, but their number is much greater than that of a single Chapter, and they are also more powerful.

The combat suit has a vector jetpack on its back, and its weapons and equipment include rapid-fire cannons, flamethrowers, and fusion cannons. When the enemy is preparing to fight in close combat after narrowly passing through the fire net, it also has a full set of automatically triggered electric shock devices, gravity generators, and photon grenades ready to fight.

Among them, the XV46-04 Commander model is equipped with electronic jamming bombs and air-blast fragmentation projectors, and its output in narrow terrain such as ship corridors is simply inhumane.

What’s more amazing is that it is even equipped with an intelligent ejection system, which will launch a lifeboat in the event of severe damage. It is said that if in a space environment, this lifeboat will fly directly back to the mothership.

“Prepare to board and take down these hostiles! (Tau language)” The Tau boarding force is determined to win.

“Everyone! Put on your bayonets! The aliens want to capture our warships, we must make them ready to die!”

On the Epic, Louise, with a red belt around her waist, inspected the military appearance and discipline of the combat troops, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: “Fight to the death, they will never succeed! For the God Emperor and the Empire!”

“They will never succeed! For the God Emperor and the Empire!”
