Chapter 86 The End of the Era: Plan B

The brilliant aurora color of the galaxy background shone on the outer armor of the battleship. The giant muzzle of the macro cannon pointed directly at the Eldar dragon ship in front. It was not just one cannon, but all the macro cannons of the Infinite Frontier were aimed at the surrounding alien warships.

Behind each cannon muzzle, the aimer sat at the operating position and looked vigilantly at the lock mark on the display screen. The scarlet fire control radar and macro cannon sight were accurately set on the strange alien warship.

On the long gun deck on the side of the battleship, the members of the artillery gun crew were all ready for battle. The surrounding anti-aircraft guns, auxiliary naval guns and coordinated instruments were full of people. They were vigilant and tightly grasped the firing trigger. All the insurances were in a state of war. They only needed to press the unlock button as the operator to immediately send the guns and ammunition produced by the Mechanicus's Forge World, which contained the wrath of the Emperor himself, into the gun barrel, and then bombarded into those alien ships.

Sailors were running behind the firing positions. They and the ground crew were helping the Mechanicus priests with their work. Shells as tall as buildings were being lifted by cranes.

Shells painted with the prayers of the state religion and the blessings of the Mechanicus were being prepared. Sailors were shouting and passing instructions to each other. The servitors pushed the safety pins under the command of the lower-level sailors. The heavy locking device was slowly moved away, and the entire crane moved forward along the track.

A crane arrived behind each macro cannon. A shell was fixed on the lifting bracket of each crane. The giant naval cannon shells several meters long were loaded into the automatic loading machine of the macro cannon as the transmission device moved forward.

One after another, the ammunition transport vehicles rushed to the gun positions. The secondary gun positions and anti-aircraft gun members immediately arrived at the transport vehicles. They did not wait for the servitors to react and immediately began to lift boxes of heavy ammunition off the cargo boxes. People carried the ammunition boxes in groups of two to the side of their own weapons.

The long ammunition chain in the ammunition box was pulled out, and the firing slot of the heavy anti-aircraft gun was ejected outward. As a whole row of ammunition chains hit the firing position, the gunner pulled the firing bolt, and with a heavy click, the shell was pressed into the gun barrel.

Behind the gun deck, on the raised tower, the naval officer looked at the display screen in front of him. Behind the curved tilted glass, the operators were adjusting the fire control data, and the automatic wetware servitors also responded to them in real time. The firing units of the guns were in place, and the officers nodded with satisfaction as the green icons lit up one by one.

He walked to the hanging communicator on the side of the tower, took off the phone and put it to his ear, "The third firing deck is ready and can fire at any time."

"The first deck is ready." "The second deck is ready." "The fourth, fifth, and sixth decks are ready." "The torpedo tubes are ready."

Different confirmation voices came from the channel. Cole quickly scanned the holographic screen in front of him. The light spears were charged, and the bombardment guns and rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns were all in combat readiness. The entire galactic battleship that the emperor was proud of was ready to roar at any time.

The captain opened the display interface and looked at the giant ship outside the bridge window. The giant ark of the Eldar was across in front of him. The huge shadow covered half of the battleship, and the entire bridge was sunk in the darkness it brought.

"We are ready." Cole said and walked to Olaf. The old wolf scanned the Eldar longships outside the window. These alien battleships were very unique.

It is really equipped with sails and side poles like a sailboat, but its canvas is indeed made of some strange light particles. Various lusters shine on these Eldar ships, strange and inexplicable.

"Can we destroy the Ark? Captain." Olaf asked, his white beard hanging from his face into the armor while wearing a helmet, and the runes on his face wrinkled with his aging face.

Cole also looked at the Ark and shook his head slightly, "The most powerful weapon we have at present is the Extinction Order. I have ordered the cyclone torpedoes, virus bombs and sky-burning cannons to be ready. If we can use the cyclone torpedoes to blow through its outer armor, we should be able to destroy the ecosystem and life support devices inside."

This is a suicidal attack. Cole and Olaf both know that they may be able to destroy the Ark, at least to cause irreparable damage to its functionality, but they will definitely be destroyed in an instant.

Dozens of Eldar warships around will instantly focus their fire, projecting countless destructive firepower on the Infinite Frontier. The void shield will fail in a few seconds, and then they will be smashed into exploding fragments.

"All we can do is one for one, Olaf." Cole said, looking at the Ark with a little uneasiness. Olaf also raised his head slightly and snorted, "But we can exchange for a sufficient record."

Using a battle cruiser to exchange for an Eldar Ark, this deal is a blood profit no matter how you look at it, but it is not the case at this moment.

Bell came up. He didn't wear a helmet but had put on a full set of equipment. The Ultramarines walked behind the two of them with a grenade gun on their backs. The captain and the old wolf looked at Bell.

"We have a more difficult responsibility. We must go to the Eye of Terror and find a way to resurrect Lord Guilliman." Bell said seriously, especially emphasizing and aggravating this problem.

Cole nodded affirmatively, "Of course, Bell, we know that if possible, we will choose to complete the mission first, but now all we can do is wait for the Inquisitor to come back."

"But if the Inquisitor never comes back, we must prepare for rescue or breakout. What options are there now?" Olaf asked, and Cole shook his head somewhat disappointingly.

"The subspace jump takes time, and I think this short moment is enough for them to knock us into ashes. All I can think of now is to pull the Ark into the water." Cole said and looked at Bell, "Maybe we can spread the news Send it out, and at least ensure that the rest of the empire knows about it and completes the mission."

"I doubt it, Cole. I think the Eldar will interfere and prevent us from seeking reinforcements or sending messages." Olaf said, but his words were interrupted by a pleasant laugh.

The three of them turned to look at Lilith, who was walking through the entrance arch. The latter was walking gracefully with two folding knives in her hands. Her long silver hair was carefully styled down her head. She walked to the edge of the captain's chair and then stood up. He sat down silently.

She crossed her legs and sat on it like a queen, especially when Ragnar and Lancelot came closer. The latter two looked at each other differently and then stood behind the throne.

Lilith leaned on the captain's chair and raised her finger, "First of all, this is a confidential mission. The Tribunal will not allow such secrets to be known to unrelated people."

"Second, we have a way to solve the problem. Plan B to rescue Vito and run away."

"Plan B?" Olaf asked in surprise and leaned forward. Cole and Bell also walked over from the edge of the bridge. Several people gathered around Lilith, while Lilith held her chin with a smile.

"Vito asked me to find a way to fish him out if he hasn't come back by now, and give the Eldar a surprise by the way." Lilith said, but Cole looked a little confused. To be honest, everyone was like this. How to make a comeback under such circumstances is indeed a problem.

"We need reinforcements, Judge Lilith, and at least a fleet to help us attack the Eldar." Bell said. He turned his head and glanced at the communication platform not far away, "But I don't think we can do it in a short time. Call for reinforcements, I’m afraid no one can respond to our request in such a short time.”

Lilith smiled charmingly, "Yes." "Who?" Bell asked, Lilith's smile gradually turned cunning, "Devil Fleet."

"What?!" Ragna exclaimed. Lilith covered her ears and looked at Ragna accusingly. "Are you trying to deafen me by speaking so loudly?"

"No, but what on earth are you talking about?! Demon?! Are you crazy?!" Ragnar walked up to Lilith and exclaimed. Apparently the other people also showed alert and serious expressions. They looked at each other and finally Cole spoke first.

"What do you want to do? Judge Lilith."

The serious Lilith was as casual as ever when facing several people. She sat on the throne calmly and naturally. She still smiled and looked very similar to Vito, especially when Vito was about to cause trouble.

"Summon a demon fleet and let Chaos come to help us fight against the Eldar." Lilith said calmly, seemingly not noticing what kind of terrifying or even heretical words he was saying, especially when these words came from an inquisitor. Speak out.

Lilith signaled Ragna to shut up, who was about to curse. To his surprise, he actually swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out.

"The demons will attack the Eldar, disrupt the Eldar's formation and force them to turn and fight the demons. Then Vito will take advantage of the chaos to escape and join us, taking this opportunity to start the subspace engine and jump away." Lilith said playfully. Blinking his eyes, "And if there is a subspace rift, the jump speed will be faster."

Cole and others all frowned and looked at the woman in front of them seriously. Even Lancelot had put his hand on the hilt of his sword. Anyone who listened to what she said would only have one thought, Chaos. Cultists.

"Judge Lilith, why did you summon demons?" Olaf asked, his voice serious and sharp, but facing several murderous Astartes around her, Lilith was relaxed and natural. She stood up from the throne. He patted his trouser legs and said, "I am the judge of the Demon Tribunal. Of course I know how to summon demons. Otherwise, what do you think we are studying on weekdays?"

"What do you mean?" Ragna asked in confusion, while Lilith looked at him with his hands on her hips jokingly, "Summon a demon, then interrogate and study it, and then kill it with one shot."

"We did this during the Gothic War. Otherwise, why do you think Spier was able to fight back? Whose intelligence did he rely on?" Lilith's words made several people look at each other, and for a while no one answered or was there. say.

Lilith continued to smile and waved her hands slightly, "Don't worry, we will be fine, I promise, and what's the harm in demons fighting aliens? Let the emperor's enemies dog eat dog, no matter who is killed, isn't it a good thing for the empire?"

Several people hesitated.

"If I remember correctly, Vito once took you to do something similar, right?" Lilith smiled jokingly, and of course several people remembered what she said.

It was a war against Chaos. Vito deceived and encouraged the boss of the local greenskin war gang, and coaxed and deceived the greenskins into fighting Chaos. The two sides fought in darkness. In a moment, Vito took several The man fished out the important holy objects and ran away from the scene with a boatload of people.

"And we have more important things, don't we? How much time do you think we can delay?" Lilith looked at the several silent giants. Obviously, this was an obvious answer.

"So that's it, get ready." Lilith waved her hand and left. Ragnar subconsciously made way for her, and everyone looked at Lilith who was walking away and looked at each other.

Cole looked at Olaf, who looked at Bell after a moment of contemplation, and then gave the captain an affirmative nod.

Cole immediately turned around and walked to the command position and shouted, "Open the Geller Field Shield! Prepare to jump!"

Several Space Marines looked at each other and put on their helmets. Ragnar laughed when he put on his helmet, "Fuck, this woman is really crazy."

"Yeah, how can Vito's woman not be crazy?" Lancelot responded with a smile, and the field shield outside the glass of the bridge behind them was already flashing.
