Chapter 706 Shuttle
The 62nd Expeditionary Fleet accelerated in the universe, and they were like hungry wolves, rushing towards their targets.
Horus stood at the table, tapping his fingers impatiently, his eyes red. Someone on the Eisenstein actually betrayed them and even gave their location. This was a complete surprise for Horus. After all, he was really a little worried—if the other party was determined to play hide-and-seek with them in the Istvan system, then things would probably become more troublesome.
"How long will it take!"
"Report to the Lord, there are ten minutes left to engage the enemy."
"Be prepared, let the World Eater become the spearhead, and this damn fleet must be completely destroyed."
Horus gave the order coldly, and under his order, the fleet began to change its formation and then accelerated again.
But at this moment...
"Attack detected!!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, several beams and shells flew from the front and hit the 62nd Fleet directly. Several warships had not expected such a situation to happen. They were hit by the sudden attack before they even had time to open the void shield, and then exploded and caught fire, and the hull was broken.
"What's going on! Where did the attack come from?"
Horus shouted angrily, and his gunnery chief hurriedly answered.
"The attack came from the front!"
"Front? Didn't you say that the enemy ships have not been found yet?"
"No... They are likely to launch ultra-long-range attacks outside the reconnaissance distance..."
"——————!"
Before the gunnery chief finished speaking, several flashes appeared outside the window, and even the Spirit of Vengeance trembled suddenly.
"Damn it, turn on the void shield, the fleet changes direction, and avoid the attack!"
Horus didn't think about how the other party knew the position of his fleet. He hurriedly ordered the fleet to change direction, but the other party's artillery fire seemed to have eyes. Almost when they just changed direction, another wave of artillery fire almost hit the 62nd Fleet without bias. Although the damage caused was not great, it was enough to make people angry.
"Damn bastards!"
Watching this scene, Horus was furious.
"Disperse the warships immediately, speed up, and rush over. I want to let those bastards know how powerful we are!"
The 62nd Expeditionary Fleet began to speed up again. Due to the sudden attack and the connection changes, the fleet was obviously in a bit of chaos. At this moment, in the asteroid belt, a destroyer quietly drove out of it and rushed towards the 62nd Expeditionary Fleet.
"Enemy found!"
This time, the chief astronaut did not miss the signal on the radar, and he reported loudly.
"Where?"
"In the asteroid belt next to us, they may have been hiding there before!"
Horus looked up and saw a destroyer driving out of it, rushing towards the 62nd Expeditionary Fleet as if he was ready to die. The church shining with golden light above its warship was extremely eye-catching, even a little dazzling.
"Only one?"
"Yes, maybe this is the enemy's reconnaissance warship."
"I see."
Horus nodded. He was afraid that this reconnaissance ship had been hiding here and reporting the location of himself and others to the enemy, so that they could lock the target and launch an attack. But unfortunately, that's it. Their trick has been discovered, so their good luck is over.
"Destroy it!"
Horus gave the order coldly.
Without Horus's order, the warships of the 62nd Fleet had already opened fire on the destroyer, and a series of artillery fire whizzed out and hit the void shield. But the destroyer was not afraid at all, just rushed straight towards the 62nd Fleet. Soon, it began to explode all over and gradually disintegrated. Finally, a shell penetrated its hull, turning the warship into a pile of scrap metal and began to twist and disintegrate.
Looking at the broken wreckage in front of him, Horus snorted coldly. This was not enough. Just based on the rude attitude of those guys towards him at that time, their fate was only death!
"No————!"
However, at this moment, the bird chief began to scream.
"No, leave here quickly, disperse quickly, space————!"
But unfortunately, the bird chief did not have time to finish his words, and a sudden change occurred.
The wreckage of the destroyed destroyer suddenly shook violently, and the next moment, a dazzling, almost pure white light instantly covered the originally dark space.
"A retreat reaction has been detected."
Aikot raised his head and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"Everything is going according to plan."
"Well, it seems to be going well."
Duanmu Huai looked at the screen in front of him and nodded. Once again, I feel that although Aikout is a coward, his tactical level is really first-class. By ambushing a scout destroyer in the asteroid belt to lock the position of the Horus fleet, and then using the ultra-long-range shooting that Ekot is best at, and then when the Horus fleet is in chaos due to the sudden attack, let the scout ship break into the enemy fleet and activate the retreat reaction of the retreat furnace to form a small black hole to attack an AOE.
This wave of attack and defense will make Horus kneel.
And Tarvitz and other Astartes are now looking at the spreading black waves in front of them, and they are all dumbfounded.
What kind of black hole weapon is this?
"The 62nd Expeditionary Fleet... was completely wiped out?"
Looking at the screen in front of him, Loken swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, while Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"It would be great if it was that simple. Although this trick is powerful, if they react in time and hide in the subspace, they can still escape."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai sighed, although he also hoped to take this opportunity to catch all four demon primarchs. But unfortunately, Duanmu Huai knew that this possibility was not great. After all, the system did not prompt the kill report, and the other party had surrendered to Chaos after all. If the evil god did not help, it would be really stupid.
In fact, Duanmu Huai wanted to stay here and beat the fallen dog, but unfortunately the other party had four fleets and he only had one. Even if his fleet was of a higher level, it was still a bit difficult to fight four with one.
So it was better to escape first and shake off the enemy and then fight back.
"The fog of the subspace has faded, and we are ready to leave the Istvan system."
"Understood, prepare to jump."
The WeChat black hole created by the recession reaction, its huge energy burst is enough to temporarily dispel the subspace fog that envelops Istvan's information, allowing the astropath to temporarily glimpse the situation outside and find a stable galaxy coordinate for navigation.
Of course, as for where the other side is... leave it to fate.
"Let's go!"
Accompanied by Duanmu Huai's command, the next moment, the space in front of the Inquisition fleet was torn apart, and then the fleet roared in and disappeared into the deep space of the universe.
It is not an easy task to sail in the void. If the subspace is a sea, then the Star Torch is the lighthouse that guides the direction. The surroundings of the Istvan system at the moment are like a sea full of fog and turbulent waves. The black hole explosion temporarily tore open a corner of the fog, allowing those trapped in it to briefly peek at the light outside.
But this is only a moment, because in the next moment, the raging waves and heavy fog will come again, wrapping everyone in it again. They rode the wind and waves, accelerated forward, broke through the raging waves and fog, and moved forward along the light. Finally, the distortion of the subspace reached its limit, and then the next moment, the scenery in front of the Inquisition Fleet and Eisenstein changed again.
The whole warship trembled suddenly, and a huge impact came. An screamed and rushed forward, and Duanmu Huai grabbed her quickly. Gu Leiya stood beside her, her thick tail wrapped around the metal rod on one side, and Lorena on the other side directly took a horse stance—well, the lower body was very solid.
"Wow... How could this happen?"
An almost fell to the ground and complained.
"We didn't encounter this kind of thing when we traveled through the subspace before."
"We used to take the highway, and this is a dirt road in the wilderness."
Duanmu Huai pulled An up and spoke to comfort him. But what Duanmu Huai said was not wrong. The ancient saint's webway was like an interstellar highway, which was naturally fast and stable. But now they were basically led into the woods by the bad navigation. It was a victory to pass through the woods. Whether there was a road or not, or whether the road was steep or not, it didn't matter.
"So, where are we now?"
An patted the dust off his body and looked at the screen.
"We are not far from the Isstvan galaxy, what if the other party chases us? Should we run a little further?"
"In the subspace, time and distance are meaningless."
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"Although we only passed through the subspace for a few dozen seconds, it is very likely that we have reached the end of the other side of the universe at this moment. Unless the other party follows us in, they will definitely go somewhere else... Oh, but fortunately we don't need to guess."
Duanmu Huai pointed to the screen while speaking.
"Someone has come. Maybe we can ask for directions. Maybe these kind people can tell me where we are now."
As he spoke, a fleet was seen coming from a distance. They slowly and cautiously approached Duanmu Huai's Inquisition fleet, and then a communication came in.
"This is the Glory of Macragge. May I ask which legion your fleet belongs to? Why did you suddenly appear here? What happened to the subspace fluctuation just now?"
"Huh......"
Hearing the other party introduce himself, Duanmu Huai was relieved.
Even Tarvitz and Loken, who had originally tense expressions, became much more relaxed after hearing the other party's communication.
"It seems that we can relax now."
