Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 525

Chapter 521 06.0520: “Learn from the barbarians to defeat them”

Bang! Bang!

The attack ships wandered in the gas clouds and asteroid belts in the void, looming like ghosts.

The automatic macro cannons on the ridge of the ship fired continuously, and the adamantine shells, which were extremely huge for mortals but so small and insignificant in the scale of void warfare, smashed into the approaching enemy.

The shells hit the enemy shield, splashing ripples similar to the void shield.

Perhaps this is also a masterpiece influenced by the technology of the Artisans, or perhaps it is the self-developed technology of the Earth Clan of the Titanium Clan. In short, everything on this layer of protective film emitting a faint blue fluorescence looks so much like humans.

The only remaining stern self-defense torpedoes are the only weapons that can prevent the enemy ships from approaching quickly. They are fired at the right time, and then force the enemy ships that attempt to board to turn around, successfully delaying for a while.

But this is ultimately a delaying tactic – if you can’t fire a salvo of torpedoes, you can’t effectively kill the fleet with close defense firepower.

The first attack squadron, which has been fighting behind enemy lines for so long, is now in the first half of the “running out of ammunition and food”.

If it doesn’t get support, the squadron will be caught up and completely defeated along with the pilgrim ship.

The one-eyed Fire Clan’s escaping commander crossed his arms and stared at one of the looming attack ships. He could recognize that it was the warship of the mortal enemy.

No matter how the Epic maneuvers, the spearhead of the attack is always directed at her.

Horatio can clearly feel that he is being targeted.

Not only that, the battle between the fighter fleets has also changed under the new round of gadgets released by the Tau.

Some pilots reported that a small aerial drone was flying towards them in an overwhelming manner.

After analyzing the battle situation, Fasha confirmed that it was the ‘

These little guys can carry a pair of long-barreled pulse rapid-fire cannons, two seeker missiles, and a networked laser marker, and are also equipped with stealth components.

Distributed on the battlefield, they can inadvertently attack the Fury interceptors in the fierce battle.

The threat of this sneak attack makes the pilots feel uneasy. Even Fasha can’t deal with the harassment of five targets at the same time.

“Fasha, withdraw from the battlefield with Fury. It’s meaningless to fight any further.”

“Captain, what about the fighter attacking the attack ship’s engine?”

“Leave it to the close-in defense gun.”

There are seven twin-mounted automatic close-in defense guns on both sides of the E-type attack ship, which can be used to strafe incoming torpedoes and weapons.

“The enemy battle group is getting closer!”

“They opened the boarding launch bay!”

“Damn, these guys seem to be staring at us.”

“Start the first round of boarding! Aim at the one I marked!” The Fire Clan commander ordered.

“Full speed!” With Horatio’s order, the engine of the Epic immediately began to burn with full power, and the blue tail flame pushed the slender hull to start galloping.

The Tau warship shot out a boarding hatch, which was a vehicle that physically looked like a manta ray and was also called “Manta” by the Human Empire.

It looked like a miniature version of the Tau Guardian Fleet frigate, a large combat transport aircraft, a bit like the Space Marines’ Thunderhawk gunboat and the Imperial Navy’s “Devourer” troop transport landing ship, the two combined.

It can carry a large number of units – it has a double deck, with 55 seats on the upper deck and a wide deck on the lower deck for transporting vehicles and personnel.

The airship is similar to the assault boats used by the Human Empire for mortals, first attached to the hull, and then the demolition device is activated.

Under Horatio’s personal control, the Epic avoided the Manta gunboat that was rushing straight at it with a swift and flexible tail swing.

Some gunboats were hit by the close-in defense guns on the flanks and were damaged. For the safety of the crew, the driver chose to approach the huge and slow pilgrim ship.

“Damn it, they boarded the pilgrim ship.”

“We can’t care so much. Pay attention to the starboard side! The enemy gunboats are approaching!”

The two gunboats left the ship late and fell behind the team. The Epic had just turned to a set of dragon tail swings, and the last two lucky ones seized the opportunity and attached themselves to it.

The high-energy ion beam on the belly of the ‘Manta Ray’ gunboat burned the adamantine hull. If it were other warships, it would only take a dozen seconds to burn through, but since the Epic had no void shield, the entire outer hull was made of adamantine armor plates. As an alloy metal second only to Yaojin in the human empire’s technology, even if the high-energy ion beam wanted to burn a big hole in it, it would take some effort.

The piercing crackling noise soon irritated the ears of the crew members in the already small Epic. While the enemy broke through the outer shell, its internal armed forces were also quickly redeployed and deployed.

Boom! Bang!

With a bang, a gap was blown out of the armor plate that was burned with a red circle, and a large number of Titanium troops and Vanguard combat uniforms that were ready for battle poured out of the gap.

When the first alien stepped on the gray-black deck, it was almost immediately attacked by a familiar ion beam.

The same blue ion beam hit them, tearing the high-tech combat uniforms like thin paper – just like they used pulse weapons to shoot the Empire’s armor.

Horatio admitted that their weapons were very good, so good that both sides’ troops could turn each other’s armor into pieces of paper at the same time with just weapons.

In this narrow close-range combat, whether wearing bulletproof armor, void armor, or even power armor, there is not much difference. Even the powerful “Vanguard” combat suit of the Tau Empire can be hit with a big red burnt hole under the ion beam of the pulse gun.

This egg-shaped combat suit with two legs blocked the rows of continuous shots from behind the mobile breastwork for the troops in the rear. The orange-yellow armor was like an orange eaten by insects under the rain of blows, which further damaged the appearance that was already quite strange in the eyes of humans.

With a crisp sound of metal collision, the Vanguard combat suit fell to the ground, and the driver had been shot into a sieve by the pulse rifle.

But he also successfully covered the other boarding troops in the Manta gunboat to jump down, and successfully deployed the battle formation under the combat advice given by artificial intelligence.

Then, under the cover of the subsequent “Vanguard” combat suit, the rapid-fire ion cannon played an amazing power in the boarding battle.

They crushed the sailors’ gun line, and everyone was suppressed behind the breastwork baffles. Anyone who dared to show his head would be beaten to pieces.

Even the sturdy and durable ceramic breastwork could not protect the people behind it – a single shot from the energy-accumulating railgun could penetrate a line of naval sailors and their bunkers.

The broken and fragmented flesh flew far away and stuck on the gray and cold deck. Many people lost their lives in an instant without knowing what happened.

In front of the powerful rail weapons, everything is so fragile and ridiculous. This is the great treasure of the Tau standing in the galaxy, one of the best numerical monsters on the GW desktop.

Looking at the armed sailors who were almost instantly destroyed by the pioneer battle suits that were stronger than the Space Marine Terminators, Horatio felt a little heartbroken.

But heartbroken as it was, war is not a joke. As long as there is a war, there will always be casualties. It doesn’t matter how much casualties are paid to destroy the enemy. This is an economic account.

After the powerful battle suits made a breakthrough.

The Fire Clan assault team began to advance under the cover of the Vanguard battle suits, and cooperated with the tactical drone bees to try to accurately eliminate the Imperial sailors hiding in the cabins along the way to ambush them.

These loyal and determined warriors followed the tactical arrangements of Horatio and Louise, vowing to make these aliens pay a heavy price for every step forward.

Suddenly, some tactical drone bees that appeared out of nowhere opened fire on other drones and the Tau boarding team.

This sudden “friendly fire” caused a series of chaos. The armed sailors and boarding team took the opportunity to counterattack, redeployed the blocking line, and took advantage of the enemy’s confusion to shoot at them with captured Tau weapons.

Snap! Zizi!

Until a drone was destroyed by the battle suit, the whole body was overloaded with electricity, emitting a pungent smell of burnt wires.

The Tau people discovered that the drone was covered with a kind of wax mark that only the Imperial humans wore. They called it the “Purity Mark”.

Just as they were wondering why their weapons were stamped with marks to fight for humanity.

Swish!

Suddenly, the boarding team under cover found that the hatch in front of them suddenly opened.

Before the steam dissipated, they heard extremely fanatical roars.

Some fire warriors’ eyes suddenly widened and they quickly raised their guns to shoot.

“For the Emperor!!!!”

It was a kind of “human”, let’s just describe it as such, because it is difficult to find enough adjectives in the language of the Tau people to describe this terrible creation.

They roared violently, their hands were artificially removed, leaving only a small half of their arms, replaced by crackling, twisting and swinging electric whips.

“Kill them!”

The soldiers of the Tau boarding team immediately opened fire at this nightmare-like, terrifying and hideous creation, and the revolving cannons of the pioneer combat suits roared and fired.
