Chapter 244: The Sudden Start of the Battle Priestley

Chapter 244 The sudden start of the battle - Priestley

The shock caused by the purge within the Grand Fleet is the same as these evaluations of Calvin.

As the war progresses, they gradually leave the focus of people's attention and gradually settle in memory.

After the aftermath of a fierce punishment, only Calvin's authority was re-established.

After the top leaders figured out some things, the cooperation of various departments under the Grand Corps became smoother.

The reserved emergency mechanism submitted by various departments to the command station of the headquarters for filing, and the redundant reserved mechanism that has become popular in middle-level positions;

All make the cooperation of the entire Corps more tacit and efficient.

The good chemical reaction is ultimately reflected in the offensive of the Grand Corps, that is, the entire Corps can provide enough room for error for the Grand Fleet in front while ensuring the intensity of the attack.

The Grand Fleet is on the eve of arriving at the final battle target - the Priestley galaxy.

After at least three or more retreat plans have been deployed, they were transmitted to the hands of the front fleet admiral Juan.

Juan was also pleasantly surprised to see the dense markings on the star map to distinguish which nodes on these lines were used to replenish supplies and which were used to replenish personnel.

The retreat was not yet won, but the fleet had already arrived; the food and grass for rear support had already been in place before the fleet arrived.

Juan had become accustomed to fighting the enemy in endless wrangling and quarreling with the rear.

When such a happy treatment came to the most important battle in his life, he actually became a little worried.

Calvin also quickened his pace at this time. The Grey Knights were adapting to the Imperial Political Commissar joining the combat sequence. The powerful firepower of the psychic Titan had surprised them;

And Calvin's psychic network, which was strengthened by the Titan-level amplification matrix, was enough to support the battlefield dispatch at the continental level.

The warships in orbit and the ground troops all joined this new war system. The air-ground integrated and near-zero-delay strike system was starting to try linkage deductions with the Imperial Political Commissar as the center.

The fleet's pace also began to become tight. Under Calvin's order, the second strike group assembled and set off half a day in advance.

The Astartes Fleet, with the Soul Redeemer as its flagship, was only less than half a day behind the Grand Fleet in the warp.

This is the latest adjustment of the command to the battle plan:

Considering the possible existence of the Ork Battle Moon, once the Grand Fleet is confirmed to have no effective means of attacking such a target.

Then the Second Strike Group will use the interstellar fortress King of Raptors as a shield to launch a brutal boarding battle against this celestial-level combat unit.

As a suppressive force against the Ork surface armored forces, the Titan Legion will also participate in this operation.

This is an attack that may be carried out simultaneously with naval battles and landing operations, and it is also the greatest force that the Orpheus direction can show.

The battle began in the early morning of the tenth day after the Grand Fleet left Vorster;

The First Strike Group, led by Juan, discovered the main force of the Ork fleet concentrated in the Priestley Galaxy as soon as it arrived at the periphery of the Priestley Galaxy.

Without much thought, in the case that the follow-up troops have not arrived yet, the fleet has the obligation to support the battlefield gate for the follow-up friendly forces;

Under the roar of the entire fleet headed by Admiral Juan, they shouted the name of the Emperor and charged the Orc fleet!

The battle entered the most tragic stage of the exchange of sons the moment it started.

The large fleet split its troops to fire at the planetary defense systems on both wings, and under the artillery fire of large orbital air defense, it suppressed these defense nodes with light spears and torpedoes.

After the barriers on both wings were supported, the main force of the central fleet also entangled with the orcs who came from the galaxy.

The huge waves in the subspace began to surge, and the anger and blood brought by the power of war, like a tsunami, violently stirred on the subspace side of this planet.

Calvin, who was half a day away, also felt the surging waves in front of him. He immediately led the second strike group to resist the tide in front and forcibly jumped into the real space.

The groaning of the huge keel and the twisting sound of the Geiger's position resounded in the battleship. All members of the fleet were on high alert and prepared for the worst possible situation.

With the Emperor's blessing, this risky jump was finally completed.

Except for the damage to the engines of the two cruisers, the remaining fleet bodies did not suffer large-scale damage.

The fleet that jumped out from the space at the edge of the interstellar shocked both sides of the battlefield as soon as it appeared.

The King of Raptors applied this abrupt violence to the extreme:

Relying on its powerful position shield system and huge mass, it directly smashed the defensive orbital space station on the left side of the fleet head-on with a radical movement!

Countless fragments and orcs were like sesame seeds scattered in space. In the colorful rays and low temperatures in the universe, these tiny black dots quickly fell silent.

The subsequent strike cruiser did not waste its efforts. The dazzling nova cannon on the bow almost spewed out the roar of the empire against the orbital buildings.

A large number of Empire fighter planes of various models, including Dagger, Lightning, Thunder, etc., flew out from the side decks of battleships and large cruisers;

After a short cruise formation, they launched a near-suicidal attack, bombing the large base weapons on the planet.

The raindrop-like airdrop pods, carrying various automatic firepower base weapons, became the first wave of attacks that fell on these planets;

And before this batch of death rain landed on the surface, the Astartes, representing the top of the Imperial armed sequence, also took the second wave of airdrop pods to forcefully land on the ground!

The Titan Legion's dedicated transport ships also joined in, and their shields were broken after only a few minutes;

The bottom deck, which was forged with heavy adamantium, was constantly flickering under the flames of molten and plasma under the crazy shooting of the orcs on the ground.

As the strike cruisers merged into orbit, the broadside macro-cannons began to throw destructive flames to the ground.

The Space Marines who had assembled on the Great Plains began to charge towards the oncoming orcs with the huge bodies of the Titan Legion behind them deeply embedded in the surface soil!

Thick explosive bombs were fired like raindrops, pouring down on the legions representing the two races;

The ancient giant and the Titan took earth-shaking steps, roaring and spewing high temperature and flames of plasma at each other at a close distance of more than ten kilometers!

The planetary atmosphere was blackened by the smoke of the battlefield. From the perspective of the entire battlefield, the tiny Space Marines, as small as sesame seeds, were colliding with the equally tiny Orcs, forming thin lines representing the battle at strategic points.

There were few orbital weapons left on the ground, but the remaining ones were still roaring towards the sky.

And at the end of the dark clouds in the sky, there were lasers as thick as the waist of the Titan, falling like a natural disaster!
