Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 157 Storm of Destruction: The Warmaster's Failure Is Unacceptable

Speaking of which, Chaos warships are actually made by the Empire. This is not surprising. Almost all of the Chaos navy are traitors, traitors and heretics from the Empire. The ships they bring are of course made by the Empire.

This makes Chaos warships almost a mirror image of the Empire from all angles. An Empire caught in bloody fanaticism, cult worship and crazy thoughts is like a silent prophecy of the Empire's future.

But this also means that the Chaos warships are exactly the same as the Empire in layout. Everything in the bridge is the same as the same-class warships on the Empire side, except that this Overlord-class battleship has a lot more Chaos blasphemies. Scarlet blood is smeared on the walls, Chaos eight-pointed stars can be seen everywhere, and cruelly dismembered bodies are hung in the air, but they still scream and speak, like a Chaos modified version of the Empire's servitors and thinkers.

All the screens are dodging red light, and the lights are all red. The blood-like environment shrouds this place, leaving everything with the mark of destruction.

There were many terrible people sitting in front of the blasphemous platforms and operation interfaces around them. Their faces were almost between humans and demons. The drastic mutation made them look almost inhuman. They had terrifying smiles on their faces and kept moaning in a weird tone, like a blasphemous hymn.

The fire from the explosion outside the bridge glass lit up the hull and the empty black throne. The throne was almost completely imitated from the golden throne on Terra, but it was also blasphemous and heretical like everything here.

On the command deck in front of the throne, Admiral Soxes of the Black Fleet looked at everything outside the window. The fire from the explosion kept illuminating his face. The deputy commander under Abaddon looked at the Phalanx that suddenly appeared in the fleet.

Generally speaking, subspace jumps are not accurate. There will be errors between the place where the ship appears and the target point. The position where the fleet enters the galaxy will be tens of thousands of kilometers away from the target, and then it will assemble there and sail to the target.

But the mountain formation suddenly appeared in a way that was completely inconsistent with the principle of subspace jump, and jumped directly into the center of the black fleet, venting the firepower of destruction in the form of a central bloom. Soxes had climbed the mountain formation ten thousand years ago before the Horus Heresy, and had seen it firing and roaring.

It was a terrifying destruction, a terrible scene that could be called the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth. Now he saw it again, and this time it was very unfortunate that the firepower was poured on himself.

All the weapons on the giant space fortress of the mountain formation were roaring at full force. Countless orbital guns, fortress cannons and light spears lit up the background of the galaxy. Dense honeycomb missiles hit the black fleet with blue light like raindrops. The void shields of ships were smashed and exploded, turning into sparks in the galaxy.

The mountain formation slowly rotated with the center point, and the dense barrage fired at full force in a spiral form. Those weapons created a no-man's land in the eastern orbital area of ​​​​Cadia, a destructive storm area that swallowed life and crushed steel.

One after another, the Chaos' small and medium-sized warships rushed past the mountain array, but they were instantly torn apart by the incoming artillery fire. Their void shields disintegrated and collapsed in an instant, and fell into the atmosphere with fireballs in the explosion.

Unlike the Chaos, the mountain array's void shield was unexpectedly strong. Its huge shield completely covered the entire mountain array, blocking all the Chaos' artillery fire. One after another, shells and broad spears exploded and rose on it, but in return, only the void shield flashed a little.

"Shouldn't Bilak destroy the mountain array?! This thing was not only not destroyed and weakened, but even stronger!" Soxes roared and punched the handrail. The marble handrail shattered instantly. The anger of the Black Legion admiral could shatter it, but it was completely helpless against the Emperor's Fortress in front of him.

The mountain array's void shield and reactor were obviously greatly enhanced, and the reaction speed and automatic loading of the weapon array and the shooting frequency were also improved. How did they do it? !

Soxus didn't understand, but it was not surprising, because Helen's existence was unknown to the public, and it was far beyond the understanding limit of anyone in the galaxy today. Neither the Empire nor Chaos could understand the super artificial intelligence created in this golden age.

In fact, Helen activated some of the Golden Age systems of the Mountain Array, which the Mechanicus could not interpret at all. The programs that were deciphered and activated were activated by Helen, and a large number of Golden Age equipment were restarted. Its surging power was injected into various parts of the Mountain Array, turning this space fortress into a real fortress.

Soxus looked at the Imperial Navy fleet at the edge of the planet's light belt. They were regrouping and were about to come back to counterattack with the Mountain Array. The situation was very bad.

A flash of light appeared behind Soxus, and the admiral of the black fleet turned his head and looked at Abaddon who was teleporting in. He stumbled to the throne, holding his chest. The warmaster's giant claws grasped the backrest of the throne and cursed in a low voice.

"Warmaster, you are injured." Soxus said as he tried to step forward to support the Warmaster, but was violently pushed away by the latter. Abaddon held his chest which was constantly bleeding. His powerful self-healing ability did not work. Perhaps it was the effect of the power of the Sword of the Living Saint.

Xoxus looked at Warmaster looking out the window, then turned his head sharply after thinking for a moment, "Warmaster, we cannot destroy the mountain formation, the imperial fleet is regrouping, and Erebus told me that the subspace destruction storm he cast It is weakening. Imperial reinforcements will soon be able to enter Cadia. There is an entire Gothic fleet on standby outside the Cadia star field. We must end the battle before they arrive. "

Xoxus said calmly, telling the fact that no one dared to tell Abaddon, "The advance of the ground troops has been blocked. Warmaster, we cannot destroy the Black Stone Obelisk. I think we should organize a retreat immediately and save The strength will come to fight again.”

"No!" Abaddon roared, his voice shaking the entire bridge. He turned his sharp eyes and stared at Xotherses, as if he wanted to pierce his soul.

"We must not fail! My honor and the honor of the legion cannot be insulted!" "Warmaster, we cannot defeat them. If we continue to fight, we will suffer greater losses. We should retreat and wash away the shame in the future."

Abaddon roared and stepped forward and grabbed Throxes with his claws. He pressed it on the data platform. The impact instantly destroyed it, and the entire electronic interface spurted out dazzling sparks and sunk downwards.

Abaddon glared at Throxes, who also looked into the Warmaster's eyes without the slightest fear, seeming to have calmly accepted his own death.

But Abaddon just looked at him and growled, a strange red light flashed around his head, illuminating the hoses inserted into his head, "The puppet emperor's lackeys have mastered the use of the obelisk. After we retreat, they will surely close the Eye of Terror and defeat us forever."

"No, the eternal battle will not be defeated by me! If I can't get Cardia, then no one can get him!" Abaddon let go of Throxes with a roar, "Prepare to execute Starfall. "

Throxes stood up and looked at Abaddon, "Warmaster." "Execute the order! Throxes!"

Abaddon said and walked to the viewing window and looked at Cardia below. Abaddon raised his power claw as if to hold the planet.

"Let Cardia burn!"
