Chapter 598 Chapter 120 The Final Battle in the Gothic Sky (II) Planet Killer

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The long sound of the mechanical clock rang out, which usually means an advance notice at a certain time point.

Two hours, in the environment of ground warfare, this is enough time to complete a tactical action,

but in the vast sea of ​​stars, the distance between fleets and the complex personnel structure of huge weapons make the rhythm of war seem much slower than the former.

The three bells rang, which means that the real naval battle is about to start in the current background.

The mechanical priest is using this sound to inform all the combatants that the scheduled battlefield is about to arrive.

The staff at all levels stopped the operation in their hands and turned their attention to the highest commander at the central sand table.

And with a gesture from Vasilev, these people also left the table and began to walk towards the real wartime posts.

In the communication channel, the commanders of the fleet, under their orders, repeatedly checked the existing and spare communication keys tirelessly;

The combat troops gathered on each deck, together with the members of the weapon unit, went to the command deck of their respective warships and confirmed their respective status in order.

The bustling strategic command hall was briefly quiet at this time.

But the people here did not relax. Instead, they were like gamblers who had made a bet and left. Under the cover of the fog of war, they fell into the last tense moment before the lottery.

Facing the eyes of the people around him, especially the envious eyes of Hobbes, Vasilev adjusted his demeanor and turned to the Iron Throne, which symbolized the admiral of the fleet.

It was the seat that symbolized the highest power of millions of people in the entire fleet, and it was also the seat that Hobbes and all professional soldiers had been fighting for and dreaming of all their lives.

But soon, the envy in Hobbes' eyes turned into horror.

He first noticed in amazement that there were complex cables under the huge seat that he had never used before;

Then he saw several mechanical priests who should not be here, and Vasilev who was taking off his uniform calmly in front of everyone.

The Grand Cross Medal on the collar...

The double-breasted buttons of the scarlet military dress...

The nylon zipper of the black bulletproof soft armor...

And the metal interface exposed on the surface of the skin under the luxurious white silk shirt made in Terra, and the more terrifying, metal centipede-like spine...

"Uh..."

The pupils in Hobbes' eyes dilated subconsciously, and the ritual that only those with the rank of admiral and above were qualified to touch appeared in his mind uncontrollably.

High-level mechanical transformation!

And it is an irreversible direction specially designed for the command of the large fleet!

The mechanical priests stood around Vasilev, shaking the incense burners in their hands towards the latter in a soft prayer;

The equally naked mechanical slaves also appeared in a team quietly, holding up trays with both hands, and offering hoses with slender metal probes one by one.

Equipment was placed one by one, and probes were inserted one by one;

Watching the iconic crystal life-support capsule being loaded into the command hall by a crane vehicle and then placed behind Vasilev's seat.

"Emperor, this is..." Hobbes finally closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch any more.

This was a path that he, who was not afraid of death, was unwilling to choose.

This also meant that after this battle, Vasilev had no chance to leave this hall.

It certainly sounded like a noble honor to merge with the warship he had fought for his entire life at the end of his life, but anyone who had the opportunity to accomplish this achievement knew how painful it was to completely merge with the machine soul.

That was not the so-called burial, but actually a sacrifice to the machine soul.

There would be no peace at all, because that was the swallowing and chewing of the soul.

"It's not unfair to lose." Hobbes looked back, and as expected, he saw the same meaning in the eyes of his subordinates around him.

It is not shameful to lose to such a madman, because the other party has paid everything he has. It is not shameful to be commanded by such a madman, and he even feels honored.

Calvin did not say anything, but just watched everything quietly. Even Nicholas, who walked in from the door, deliberately slowed down his steps at his signal.

At this moment, he should not be the protagonist in the strategic hall.

Even if the rights brought by his identity allow him to easily obtain the obedience of everyone, he also needs to show enough respect to a soldier who has dedicated his life to the empire.

"Uh..."

The stinging sensation caused by the insertion of the neural probe made the old man suddenly open his eyes, and the blood vessels and veins knotted in the corners of his eyes made his face more hideous.

And the coldness and numbness that followed made this pain a luxury:

The machine soul of a retribution-class battleship that has been in service for more than a thousand years, the memory that is large enough to build a library, and the souls of successive captains almost broke his anchor with reality.

"Huh..." Vasilev's chest was expelling air vigorously, as if the voices of countless personalities were also expelled.

"Auguage array!" He said with effort, and the warship's machine soul seemed reluctant, but finally accepted the reality that he had survived the danger.

Then, in the black spiritual vision, a red and cold light extended, spreading across the entire warship like blood.

Endeavour, this ancient warship, its huge machine soul finally recognized Vasilev, the outsider.

And the detection devices all over the warship finally expanded the authority to the commander other than the captain.

Black dots, dense black dots.

In the dark universe, the outer circle of the Gothic galaxy, outside the extreme field of view of the fleet's auspicious instrument joint detection, these dense black dots are emitting red halos that symbolize danger;

Without any information, just seeing their arrangement that meets the standards of space combat, Vasilev has already understood the meaning of this picture!

"Full power of the void shield!" His voice and the captain's voice sounded almost at the same time.

The difference is that the former's voice is echoing throughout the fleet of the Imperial Navy through radio waves and astropathic communication!

The cross-level notice from the fleet admiral made the entire fleet instantly realize the urgency of the situation!

The huge fleet is like a stimulated hedgehog, and a series of light blue energy barriers light up in the dark starry sky!

"Enemy attack?" Calvin understood the meaning of this order instantly, and in an instant, he sent the information to each Astartes company through the Legion's will!

The Astartes sitting in each main battleship, under the warning of the Grey Knights liaison officer, promptly turned on the magnetic boots under their feet;

The mortals on the other side were not so efficient, so in the eyes of the chief officer of the detection array, in the void that exceeded the farthest range of the Nova Cannon, there was energy that made them feel extremely frightened and condensed at a high speed!

"High energy reaction! Collision preparation!"

Seeing the energy reaction scale sliding rapidly, even the top "α+" could not be stopped.

The chief officer of the detection array looked pale, raised his head and shouted to the command deck.

However, as those red dots crossed the border and became specific warships in the fleet's vision;

Two energy beams that far exceeded the weapon scale of any known warships had already pierced the void and attacked the fleet!

Boom!

The beam of light flashed by, and in front of Calvin's flagship, a large cruiser that should have been at their location was destroyed.

Scarlet and scorching flames spread along the hideous cracks on the disintegrating warship;

After the beam of light penetrated the entire warship, it still brushed Calvin's flagship, causing the entire warship to shake violently through the void shield!

"Planet Killer!"

Following the source of the beam of light, Calvin saw the two huge warships with strange shapes. And the memory in his brain finally matched this warship with the blueprint he obtained in the Battle of Orpheus!

Update.
