Chapter 691: The End of Autumn: Are the Eldar Friends or Enemies?
"Alert! We're locked!" Someone yelled in the bridge. The captain quickly operated the terminal in front of him. The fingers on the mechanical keyboard were flying between the machines. Around him, the flashing red alarm lights kept flashing.
More sailors were shouting around at their posts. They passed messages and quickly coordinated related orders. The thinker engines were side by side, shaking their heads and whispering in binary language. Anna stood on the round platform between them, and the screens around them were jumping with byte numbers frantically.
"Enemy weapons are on, the Anti-Enemy Thinker has detected the fire control radar signal." With another warning roar, Anna turned around and shouted to the people on the bridge, "Cole, we are locked by the pointed ears, what should we do now? Should we fight back?"
Cole glanced at Vito, then raised his head and looked at the huge Eldar warship floating outside the window. Its huge size blocked the light of the entire bridge. The dim light flowed across its smooth hull, as if a sword stretched out from its abdomen, pointing to the bridge of the Infinite Frontier.
"Activate the weapon array! Quick!" Cole clenched his fists and yelled. He stood on the captain's platform and commanded his warships there. "Concentrate all power on the void shield. The Eldar ships' light spears can't penetrate it. Urgently reload all macro cannons, open all missile launch bays, and aim at the Eldar warships."
Cole was silent for a moment, but then suddenly pointed to a corner under the bridge, "Fire control chief, activate the shooter missiles, load the nuclear warheads, and enter the cyclone torpedoes into the launch tubes."
"But sir, the distance between us and the Eldar warships is only..." "I know, but only such a close distance can guarantee the shield is broken. Find what I have to do." Cole knew what the fire control chief was nervous about. They would not be able to escape death if they launched a powerful warhead at such a close distance, but at least they could drag the aliens down with them.
"The extermination order program has been started, waiting for authorization." The fire control chief turned around and said after a quick operation. The silver skull flashing on the huge screen in front of him, and the I-letter logo interface of the Inquisition appeared in front of Cole. The captain looked at the icon in silence for a moment and then reached out to press it.
But Vito grabbed his hand. Cole looked at Vito with a frown, "They have locked us. If we don't open fire first, we will be destroyed."
"I know, but wait." "Waiting for what?" Cole asked. At the same time, a light illuminated their side faces. Cole turned his head suddenly and saw a flashing silver light from the side of the hanging window. In the void of the universe, a group of Eldar warships appeared as if they appeared out of thin air.
They surrounded the Infinite Frontier from all sides. The ships like swords surrounded the Ark and the Infinite Frontier. The flames like ghosts flickered in the night sky around them.
The red alarm light lit up in the bridge, and the surrounding screens were all replaced by scarlet. The fire control officer looked at the screen behind him and stood up suddenly, "Their weapons are all activated, and the fire control radars of dozens of warships are shining on us!" "I don't want to be blown up by the pointy-eared ones, and I can't even hurt them." Cole frowned and reached out to press the authorization launch button, but was pulled back by Vito. He shook his head and looked around at the Eldar fleet surrounding his head. "It seems that everyone is here. Use the public screen signal to shout. I don't know which ship he is on. I want to make sure he can receive the high-dimensional communication. Tell him Vittorio is here." "In this way, maybe we can be blown up later." Vito let go of Cole's hand, and the latter pulled back his hand and rubbed his wrist and leaned against On the other side, Locke came up from behind. He looked at the silver dagger-like warships in the starry sky above his head, and his finger subconsciously pressed on the trigger, "Do you know them?" "Them? There are a lot of people, but I know the name of their boss, and he knows mine."
"Friends?" "Well, not so good." "Acquaintances?" "Almost." "Someone you know?" "Add a little bit of passion, the kind with guns." "Your enemies?" "Right this time."
Vito said with a smile, Cole and Locke's expressions froze for a moment, but before any of them could say anything, the holographic screen in front of them lit up, and a person appeared on the screen, strictly speaking, an Eldar captain, he sat on a throne, and the chair behind him was hung with various skulls.
He had long black braids, like many Eldar, except that his braids were tied with human bone fingers instead of leather ropes. He sat on the throne, looking at the people on the bridge with a roaring shark tattoo on his face, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Vittorio, Vittorio, I didn't expect it was your ship."
"Hello, Iorri, my pirate king, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Vito smiled and folded his arms, looking at the people on the screen with a joking look on his face. He was quite large, and even Bell and the others behind him looked up at the huge screen, but they could also see the sneer on his mouth very clearly.
"Okay, of course. Things have never been this good since you tricked me, especially now." Iori stood up and gestured to the warships around him, "How is it? Do you like it? It's exactly the same as the fleet you tricked me with before, isn't it?"
"Oh, don't be so stingy. Didn't I forget to tell you that there was a Tyranid hive nest when I went there with you? Didn't we escape in the end?"
"Yes, I escaped. It's just that you betrayed me, jumped on your ship and ran away after grabbing the inheritance. And I remember that you promised me that thing in exchange for the support of my fleet."
"Robbing is such an ugly thing to say. Can what we cultural people do be called robbing? I just borrowed it for fun." "Oh? Then what are you going to give me back?" "Wait a minute, I've had enough fun. for you."
Iori sneered. He leaned on the throne and raised his head with his hands on his belly. He gently clasped the dagger on his waist with his fingers. "Then why don't I just come and get it myself? Your ship is right under my nose." Down there, I have more people than you."
"But there are Astartes on my ship, aren't there? You Eldar are not as good as us down there. If someone dies, it will be troublesome to come back alive. Especially the rebellious period of children is earth-shatteringly long. I still remember Yi Yang. Na at that time."
"I don't mind. There are many Druchi in my fleet. The people of Gemo are not born in the womb." Irio said with a sneer. He gently pulled out the dagger from his waist, and a cold light accompanied him. As the hissing blade was pulled out, Vito smiled and shrugged, pulling the control interface away from Cole.
His fingers clicked on it quickly, and a new interface soon appeared. After seeing that thing, Cole's face suddenly stiffened, "Yeah, but I'm afraid of scratching your new boat. This is It’s an ark, right? It’s so big and cool, I want it too, so it would be a shame if it had a big hole.”
Vito tilted his head with a smile and rotated his fingers on the interface, "And your fleet also looks new. I heard that the weather in the subspace has not been very good recently. It took a long time to clean up after driving there. ”
Irio frowned on the throne, and his fingers stopped. The huge screen showed his every move in front of everyone on the bridge without concealment, and Bell also knew why he did this. It was that expression, because the button in Vito's hand was the button for overloading the subspace engine.
All he had to do was press it, and in a few seconds the Infinite Frontier would explode into a rift in the warp, sucking everything around it in. No one was afraid of the warp, let alone entering it, especially the Eldar.
The corners of Iriou's eyes twitched, and a trace of anger appeared on his plain face, "Do you think I will let you leave if you threaten me? I can order my ship to destroy your power with a precise shot. Don't forget Yes, I’m a pirate, Vittorio, and I’ve been on all kinds of ships, including yours.”
"I'm sure I'll overload my engine while you're firing. It's just like fighting with cowboys in the West. They often die together." Vito smiled, placing his fingers on the edge of the interface button. If you move it a little, it will It turned into a brilliant rift, "But I think a lot of cowboys forget to chat before they start shooting, so why don't you invite me to your new boat? What a cool boat."
Iriol was silent for a moment. He pressed back the drawn dagger, and the crisp scabbard and the impact of the handle sounded together, "As you wish, come on, you come alone, bring one more person, I will go first Kill him, and then watch your ship and everything inside blow to the sky."
"Okay, okay, but hold it in for now, okay? The captain next to me is no worse than me, otherwise we will have to go for a ride in subspace." Vito patted Cole on the shoulder, and Iriol snorted coldly. After making a noise and turning off the screen, Cole frowned and looked at Vito, while Loken behind him spoke first, "This is the Hongmen Banquet."
"I know, but the Hongmen Banquet also has dishes, right? Eat first and then talk about it." Vito said, patting Cole on the shoulder and gesturing for the button, "If I don't come back within twelve hours, you can Overload the subspace engines, open the shields and show them, those with pointed ears don't dare to fire on you, and then you take the opportunity to jump and run away."
"What about you?" "Me? I'm going to eat, and I want to ask something by the way." Vito smiled and lifted up his windbreaker. He took off the dark cloak, revealing the weapons tied to his body. Belt, bolter and a row of melta grenades were strapped to his body. "But you also need to bring some gifts. Bell, is that Crystal Skull we grabbed a few years ago still there? It would be too awkward to go empty-handed." You're polite, I have to bring something as a big gift."
Vito smiled evilly, and every time he smiled like that, someone would be in trouble.
