Chapter 225 The End of the Meeting with Hydra

Chapter 225: Meeting - The End of Hydra

"The fleet is waiting for your order!"

"Please give the order!"

The voices of the adjutant and the guards seemed to be blocked by a heavy barrier, echoing in Hydra's brain with suspicious noise.

Roars and tremors erupted from the Tyrant, and the battleship's void shield revealed a specific eggshell shape under the impact.

More firepower from enemy ships from two directions continued to tilt towards it, and the index of the shield generator was visibly reduced.

The mechanical priests have tried their best to maintain its performance, but with little effect.

Alarms sent to the bridge were like snowflakes, but Hydra's brain was still down and could not respond for a long time.

"My Lord!"

The guard approached Hydra and tried to remind him, but was subconsciously grabbed and thrown out by the latter.

But fortunately, his adventurous transgression was not in vain.

Finally freed from the huge failure and self-doubt, Hydra looked up and looked around like a lone wolf at the end of the road, and looked at the chief officers in the fleet communication channel with dangerous and dark eyes.

It's a pity to leave, but the situation is over after all.

Hydra thought so, and then looked at the captains of the remaining three Hellfire-class cruisers.

The latter was pouring ineffective firepower on the King of Raptors in vain. The opponent's shield generator was ten times that of ordinary warships.

Whether it was the light spear or the macro cannon, the shields that were exposed to the impact ignored the impact and shrapnel of the light and explosion, and remained motionless like a breeze.

The 7 large cruisers behind the Raptor also began to spread out to the two wings. Although they did not complete the absolute encirclement, their side firepower had entered the golden angle.

The smoke and dust of the explosion fragments brought by the macro cannon hit the Chaos Fleet, and it exploded densely like raindrops.

Amid the buzzing sound of the concentrated shooting of the light spears, the heavy cruisers on both sides of the fleet were struggling to protect themselves, and had no time to care about anything else.

The collapse of the fleet seemed inevitable. Hydra sighed deeply, and then made a secret gesture to the guards behind him.

The pupils of the guards who received the signal suddenly shrank, and then they quietly inserted a secret message into the fleet's global broadcast.

On the bridges of other warships in the fleet, several Chaos internal assassinations and power grabs suddenly broke out in the next second.

The adjutants, guards, mortal servants, and even some of the Midnight Lords recruits who had been transformed for nearly a hundred years, all woke up from deep self-hypnosis after their brains received this message:

"Supreme Hydra!"

These "Dandelions" who had been infiltrated and lurking for hundreds of years after being self-hypnotized by the Alphas suddenly rose up, shouting the names of their legions, and killed the original fleet commanders one by one.

After taking over the command of the warships, these people charged at the enemy ships that were encircling them with a suicidal mentality of dying together with the enemy, in order to buy time for the Hydra flagship to escape.

"Want to run?"

Baltasar on the King of Raptors and Vice Admiral Joseph of the Northern Fleet both noticed each other's intentions at the first time.

The two looked at each other in the communication channel that had just been established and noticed each other's intentions.

Baltasar immediately ordered:

"Hammer of Order, Shield of Order, speed up immediately, intercept the enemy flagship's maneuvering towards Orpheus!"

Are there any reinforcements in the direction of Leyak?

There was no time to think about this idea, and Vice Admiral Joseph's order was immediately issued:

"Rage of Justice, Endeavour, leave the sequence! Launch an interception towards the hazy zone!"

A large net composed of four large cruisers, including two strike cruisers with firepower exceeding the normal standard, began to insert from the edge of the battlefield at the first time.

The Tyrant in the center of the battlefield had just adjusted its posture and plunged into the depths of Leyak with its back to the large net.

"Hey! Good job!"

Thinking of Calvin's ship returning from the direction of Malus, Balthasar stood up from the anti-gravity chair excitedly.

He had lost patience with the battle in front of him and was determined to inflict the most thorough destruction on these stubborn warships!

"Concentrate firepower! Shoot through their engines! We must end this war as soon as possible!"

Under Joseph's thoughtful gaze, the four cruisers bit the Chaos flagship tightly and sailed towards Leyak.

The remaining 14 warships launched a fierce offensive against the 11 Chaos warships that had lost their command system and were fighting on their own in the battlefield!

As the central salient of the fleet, the King of Raptors took the lead in attacking enemy ships within range.

Compared to warships, the mobility disadvantage of the interstellar fortress is extremely obvious; but on the contrary, the firepower of the fortress is far beyond the specifications of ordinary warships:

The light spear arrays on the King of Raptors interstellar fortress were all activated again, and the same number of light spear arrays were arranged on the external space that was several times that of the battleship.

Every time the strike group consisting of more than a dozen light spear arrays flashed, the huge light column formed a concentrated energy attack that was enough to overload the shield of a warship;

When the shields of these warships were penetrated, the other Astartes warships that had been trained for a long time would follow the footsteps of the King of Raptors and use light spears and macro cannons to penetrate the engines of enemy ships.

When these warships lost their ability to move and completely became lambs to be slaughtered on the battlefield, a scene that shocked the Northern Fleet led by Joseph and the fleeing Hydra appeared:

After the battleship was destroyed by a wave of macro cannons and torpedoes, the main armor on the surface was destroyed.

The six Astartes warships centered on the King of Raptors began to scatter hundreds of landing torpedoes at these Chaos warships like fireworks!

Not a few, nor dozens!

In the eyes of Joseph and Hydra, the Chaos fleet at this moment was suffering from a large-scale boarding attack consisting of nearly 150 landing torpedoes!

"How many Astartes warriors are there? Even if one-third of them are used to transport the accompanying ammunition and supplies, the total number of people attacked this time must be thousands, right?"

Looking at the landing torpedoes that rushed towards the enemy ship like a school of fish and then pierced into the deck, Joseph wanted to ask this question to the commander of the fleet.

But at this time, Baltasar had already led the team to the end, and his throne was empty at this time.

There was no one on the other side of the screen except the mortal captain who remained silent, so Joseph had to hold back his questions.

Hydra, who was fleeing in the distance, saw this devastating scene and was even more heartbroken.

Unlike Joseph of the mortal legion, as a veteran of the legion who survived the Great Crusade, he knew the number of people represented by those torpedoes!

At least 17 company marks of four different warbands appeared in the strike group composed of those torpedoes!

And similar marks of each company appeared at least twice in his eyes!

How could there be so many Astartes warriors!

How could he, Hydra, deserve such a standard of treatment?

Are the Astartes warbands in the Storm Star Zone free to do nothing?

How could anyone mobilize so many warbands to launch such cost-free assistance to a mere Orpheus war zone?

Huge doubts and panic filled the heart of the Alpha warband lord, but before he could think about it, the alarm system of the battleship was sounded again!

"Strong subspace reaction to the left front! A large ship is about to appear!"

The navigator's shrill cry has not yet ended, and Hydra saw in despair:

With four imperial cruisers chasing behind him, two strike cruisers that obviously belong to Astartes jumped out of the jump point in front!

The leading strike cruiser is obviously larger. Even if Hydra took a quick glance, he knew that the length of the ship was almost the same as his own ship!

And it was this silver cruiser that, after jumping out of the subspace, was eager to show the huge golden mark on its hull that had been urgently modified:

The special mark composed of the Roman letter "Ⅰ" and the imperial double-headed eagle and the sawtooth skull made Hydra, who knew the empire well, even more puzzled.

High Lord? High Lord of the Inquisition?

What is this? Is he personally leading the army?

Except for the Sun Lord, when did the Empire have the habit of high lords not staying in Terra, but leading troops out to fight?

He, Hydra, is really overrated...

Second update, take a short break, more to come in the evening.
