Chapter 224 The King of Raptors Appears, Krieg Is Moving Forward!
"I..."
Joseph, who realized it late, wanted to say something but stopped, but he finally suppressed his heart and focused his attention on the battle in front of him.
"Pay attention to the angle of contact with the enemy! All captains, pay attention! Adjust your posture horizontally, with the vertical axis standard of 15 degrees! The height remains unchanged, the deflection remains unchanged! The void shield energy is tilted towards the even-numbered units, ready to counterattack at any time!"
"Yes!"
The other commanders on the other side of the screen immediately fell into the work of issuing orders to the warships they were responsible for.
And until this time, Joseph had time to look at the adjutant, took off the communicator and said:
"Is the fleet communication document just now a confidential document?"
"...Yes"
"Is my confidentiality level enough?"
"Enough..."
"Then..." Joseph raised his eyebrows to his adjutant, indicating that you understand.
"I understand, I will copy a copy and send it to your cabin for record later."
The adjutant rolled his eyes implicitly, and then responded to the occasional unreasonable request of his chief officer.
The Chaos Fleet's bombardment continued, but after a difficult fifteen minutes, the battleships, which were covered with scars but in good condition, were once again covered by the protection of the void shield.
The Northern Fleet withstood the huge pressure and maintained its predetermined posture under the Chaos Fleet's salvo, without any deviation throughout the whole process.
The Chaos warships, which had no chance to close the distance and engage in boarding battles, could only fire fiercely at the stubborn enemies opposite them with more anger.
But they didn't know that the Manzeville point used for the large fleet jump inside the Melmos galaxy, where all their fleets had just left, had moved.
"Where are the frigates? Let those bats and sons of Fulgrim board the ship and prepare! After the next round of attacks, I want to see their landing torpedoes and landing craft stuck on that battleship!"
Hydra, who had taken over the supreme command, roared with a sullen face. The enemy's tenacity and the maliciousness of tactical intentions made him extremely annoyed.
The pressure from the direction of Malus also made him feel that he was facing the risk of failure of his mission.
He had lost his patience to continue to fight with Joseph, and planned to let his Chaos Space Marines forcibly land and fight under the enemy's fire.
He completely ignored the ugly expressions of the Astartes representatives sent by the two warbands to contact him.
"My lord, the enemy's ship fire is so fierce. Without clearing the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, will it be more costly for us to rashly launch a landing?"
The representative of the Son of Fulgrim questioned Hydra. They did not trust this mysterious man from the Alpha warband from the beginning;
If it were not for the authority of Warmaster Abaddon, they would never respond to the call of the other party and come all the way to Orpheus, a remote place, to fight the Empire.
Hydra raised his head and looked deeply at the friendly envoy under the throne, his slender eyebrows were tightly sewn, and he was not in a hurry to answer.
At this point in the war, this high-level legion belonging to the Black Legion had no scruples.
Whoever dared to disrupt his military morale at this time and tried to challenge his authority would only have one end in return.
Bang!
A shot of plasma melted the son of Fulgrim's gorgeous purple feather helmet, and the brain and skull of its owner also evaporated from the bowl-sized gap in the helmet.
Watching his guards slowly put away the plasma pistol, Hydra had a blank expression on his face.
He turned his head to look at the Midnight Lord on the other side, raised the corner of his mouth and asked the Chaos Space Marine who was standing there:
"You, do you have any questions?"
"Your will."
The Midnight Lord lowered his head to show his obedience to his authority.
A gunshot to his colleagues finally made the envoy realize the current situation. Whoever dared to hesitate at this moment would be the mortal enemy of the venomous snake in front of him.
And if he dared to bargain, the other party would definitely send them to hell before he was dragged to death.
"Then go and prepare."
Hydra's cold voice came from the corner of his mouth, and he no longer paid attention to the envoy in front of him.
The purpose of false respect and goodwill is only to ensure that his orders are implemented, not to be really weak and bullied;
When it comes to the time of using troops, who dares to be confused like the son of Fulgrim before, then Hydra will not mind using cold bombs to tell them what the cruelty of Hydra is.
The deafening sound of artillery is still ringing rhythmically from the direction of the fleet;
In Hydra's eyes, he is still biting the tail of the opponent's fleet fiercely at this time.
The news that Chaos Space Marines are ready from other ships also made Hydra calm down his anger a little.
But just when the end of the entire fleet was about to leave the Melmos V system and enter the golden distance of the Northern Fleet, which was turning right with an overall posture.
The Manzeville point behind the fleet suddenly flashed, and a large-scale folding phenomenon appeared behind Hydra!
"Abnormal gravitational field index! Emergency evasion!"
The shrill alarm sounded violently in the second half of the fleet!
Hydra watched the warships in the second half of the fleet leaving the formation.
The main firepower of the fleet, composed of the Hellfire-class heavy cruisers, and the escaping frigates were chaotically intertwined, and even the distance between them had reached the minimum value allowed by the Thinker's servo!
No chaos!
At least at this time!
Hydra suddenly stood up, wanting to do something about the abnormality of the fleet.
But just as his voice was about to come out, the core of Krieg's fleet, the interstellar fortress King Raptor, suddenly appeared!
This interstellar fortress, which is several times the size of a battleship and can be called a small celestial body, suddenly appeared from the Manzeville point of Melmos V.
And it was obviously premeditated to use the repulsive force of the subspace breach to leap fiercely towards the edge of the galaxy!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Seeing this huge interstellar fortress being used so violently, Hydra's eyelids began to twitch.
He could even imagine how much damage the interstellar fortress would cause to the main body of the fortress under the violent repulsive force, instead of turning on the engine to reverse thrust, but instead leaping forward with full thrust at full thrust!
What a prodigal son! Even in the Great Crusade era, there was no such barbaric use of an interstellar fortress!
But those bursting sounds that crossed several astronomical units and were transmitted to the bridge where he was, were they really from the groans of the interstellar fortress?
Of course not!
Hydra looked at a battleship overlapping with the Raptor King in the distance, and his face suddenly turned pale:
That was the sound of the Raptor King using his void shield and folding force field shield to crush the Hellfire-class heavy cruiser "Wrath" at the end of the fleet!
The four Hellfire-class heavy cruisers are the strongest points of firepower and defense in the Chaos Fleet except for the flagship, and have always been the cornerstone of the fleet's existence.
And such a powerful battleship was actually destroyed by the enemy in the most brutal way without firing a single shot right in front of him!
"How dare you, a rat!"
But something even more terrifying happened to him.
After the interstellar fortress leaped forward violently, seven breaches appeared again on the folding point that was firmly covered behind him!
The Northern Fleet's previous uncharacteristic belligerence instantly reappeared in Hydra's brain full of cold sweat!
He turned around sharply and looked at the Northern Fleet, which had adjusted its posture dozens of AU away and was moving diagonally towards him with its firepower released in the best direction.
A horrifying fact was laid out before him: he was surrounded! This was a premeditated encirclement!
