Chapter 401 05.0400: ‘I Was Born with Talent’

"Report Captain! The flagship has hoisted the Z-flag!"

"The flagship is hoisting the Z-flag! Notify the bridge quickly!"

The Lord Daros at the front of the battle line and the Spear of Achilles behind the Indefatigable saw the flagship's semaphore almost at the same time.

The flag officers of the two ships also immediately hoisted the Z-shaped battle flag on the battleship they were on.

"The fleet hoists the z-shaped battle flag!"

"The flag is being raised!"

Just like the beacon fire on the Great Wall, the Imperial Navy warships also hoisted the Z-flag one after another after observing the ships in front flying the Z-flag.

The zigzag battle flag is a mobilization flag for decisive battles with a long history that has been handed down since the ancient Terra era.

It symbolizes justice, victory, good luck and other beautiful visions, as well as the determination to fight or die.

It has been suspended in many decisive battles in the history of human naval warfare.

When a warship hoists the Z-shaped battle flag, it means that everyone from the captain to the sailors will fight to the death with the enemy until they sink.

‘Only one of the enemy’s army and ours can float on the sea. ’

call! ! !

The chief boatswain of the Indefatigable blew a long whistle in the wide-area sound array of the entire ship.

"Attention all ships, the captain will give an emergency speech!"

"All of us on the Indefatigable, I am Acting Captain Horatio Cochrane.

The 25th Gothic Squadron Strike Group accepted the order of the Imperial Fleet and went on an expedition to Farr to prevent the continued expansion of the Hell Gate, a rift in the subspace. This is the mission we must achieve, even at the expense of bloodshed. This is also true! "

Lying on the operating table, Captain Sterling Lord, who refused general anesthesia because he was worried about affecting the function of the implant, was breathing air-conditioned and listening to the radio attentively. The surgeon was not disturbed at all and smoothly performed single-molecule surgery on his body. knife.

"Now, the evil Chaos lackeys and the hateful green-skinned aliens are desecrating the vast universe of the God Emperor, infringing on the loyal and kind people of the Empire, trying to use subspace to devour the holy territory of the Righteous people and expand their evil domain.

For the past few months, the Astra Militarum have fought valiantly against the enemies of the Imperium on the surface of Phar.

I have heard that some people question the existence of our Imperial Navy! Some question our loyalty and courage!

But we will use actions to prove to them that they are stupid! Prove it to the damn aliens! Prove it to the damned Chaos Rebels!

The Imperial Navy never wavers in fulfilling its duties! ! !

Whether it was the crew making emergency repairs, the sailors exchanging fire with the Chaos invaders behind the bunkers, the survivors waiting for rescue under the collapsed ruins, or the injured being bandaged, they all looked at the sound array above their heads.

"We are the masters of the stars! The greatest void force in the entire galaxy! We are the Imperial Navy! Today we will make the heretics despair! Let the aliens tremble!

For the God Emperor! For the empire! "

"For the God-Emperor and the Empire!!"

The morale that had been dampened by trauma and facing twice as many enemies was once again pushed to a climax by a passionate and exciting ship-wide speech.

Everyone knew that the young captain was serious about his determination - when he hoisted the Z flag, he was already thinking of burning the boat.

This is also a signal to the senior military supervisors on the ship: If I neglect my duties and avoid fighting, then in the name of the God Emperor, you will not tolerate it.

"There are only five minutes left until we reach the second gun! We are 1,200 kilometers away from the enemy fleet!"

"Port loading completed! Sir!"

"The armed forces have arrived from the barracks cabin to combat positions!"

"The artillery crew is ready! Fire according to the order!"

After making a turn, the Indefatigable and Lord Daros approached from the right side of the Chaos Fleet at full speed.

"In the name of the gods, kill these stupid aliens!"

The admiral of the Chaos Fleet also issued combat orders to the ship.

The next three battleships all delivered Chaos Terminators to the flagship to assist the flagship in cleaning up the green-skinned aliens that were constantly jumping from the junk ship.

"Admiral! The ignorant pseudo-emperors have returned in droves. Instead of rushing back to rescue the planet's orbit, they actually tried to flank us!"

"Ignorant fools, since they want to cause trouble, let them taste their own destruction in advance!

Starboard battery, ready for salvo! "

"Admiral, the starboard gun group suffered losses in the battleship fire just now. We rescued several turrets, but it will take time for the True Machine God believers on each ship to repair the other damaged parts!" Integrated into the aircraft body The black Mechanical Engineering Technician reported with disgusting electronic sounds.

"Hurry up! Open the activation loader on the port side! Let's give these aliens a good memory!"

"As you command! Admiral!"

Inside the Chaos Battleship, the deformed activated tentacles growing on the walls of the ship rolled up clusters of cannonballs. They used piston movements to roll up the cannonballs and energy blocks and stuff them into the cannon bores and slots.

The wet tentacles flow with disgusting mucus. According to the true gods believed in on different battleships, there are blue feathered wings, green twisted worms, purple curly tentacles, scarlet claws and other activated possessions of different battleships.

But enabling components doesn't come without a price.

Wearing prisoners of war and captive slaves were tied together with iron ropes. They were either forced to jump into a deep pit with three rings of sharp teeth under the threat of rusty bayonets, and turned into nourishment for the gestating demon ship, or they were beheaded. Pushed into a pit of blood.

There are also nerve sensors installed on the head, and nerve torture is used to guide pain, so that the demonic machinery can be nourished.

What's more, they inflicted unsightly atrocities on these poor people, including piercing, castrating, splicing, and suturing their bodies wantonly.

The desperate wails and shrill screams made these battleships become more and more excited, and the crews and components were highly motivated to fight.

This evil method that goes beyond common sense is also the trump card that allows the Chaos Fleet to not be afraid of being caught between the two fleets.

The Chaos Admiral is ready to directly sacrifice all the crew members as a last resort to upgrade the warship to a demon ship. Even if he really couldn't win in the end, he would be buried with the Imperial Navy and the green-skinned orcs.

But not long after he ordered these atrocities, these evil intentions were already understood by the flagship commander of the Imperial Navy.

In order to reduce possible risks, Horatio activated the omen fragment before the decisive battle and saw those unsightly scenes in advance.

This caused him to feel a burst of pain and palpitations in his body, and his stomach was rolling, but he couldn't show it in front of everyone, so he could only forcefully swallow the acid that surged into his throat.

"Young man, you don't look well." Brigadier General Peru noticed the discomfort concealed on Horatio's face and asked with concern:

"Commanding a cruiser in combat is a very mentally and physically demanding task. You have done a very good job, better than any captain I have ever seen, and better than your father.

Do you need a short rest to adjust before entering the final battle? Don't force yourself on this kind of thing, I will personally command the Indefatigable. "

"Don't worry, Commander. I'm fine, and I will firmly perform my duties as commander of the flagship."

"Your loyalty and performance will be truthfully recorded and reported to the Admiralty of the Gothic Sector and Obscure Sector.

But if you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself. We old guys all know that a little bit of personal appearance is insignificant in the face of a stable and efficient command state.

An old comrade of mine even pooped his pants during a fierce chase, haha. "

After Horatio heard this, he gave up taking any food from the dining cart pushed by the palace servants without saying a word.

He had no appetite at this time.

He just cleared his throat, took a cup of coffee from the official attendant, poured the slightly hot black liquid into his stomach, warmed his cold body, and concentrated his thoughts again.

"Understood, Commander. But this is far from my limit." He said while holding the coffee.

"You, the Corcoran family, are born to do this." The brigadier general nodded in approval.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Peru.

Our airline is about to enter the combat range. "Horatio put the empty cup back on the attendant's pallet, straightened up, and began to take a look at the entire battle.

During the approach, the adamantine shield of the Lord Daros was hit several times by the Chaos Fleet's lead ship and the scurrying greenskin cannons.

But these cannonballs were only painted dark white again and again after hundreds of battles, leaving a few scratches and a black scorched layer on the shields.

Those shells that hit the side of the shield ricocheted directly, and after being deflected, they ran towards the depths of the distant void. They might never stop until they hit something.

Then her port battery opened fire, and the two fleets were at a certain angle, and the distance continued to shrink.

Lord Daros came from the right side of the Chaos Fleet, and his shooting angle was aimed at the No. 3 ship of the Chaos battle line, a Hell Apostle MK2 light cruiser.

"Keep approaching, Lord Daros. When it is 600 kilometers away from the enemy ship, it will turn to be parallel to the enemy fleet. Our ship will follow the maneuver." Horatio communicated with the captain of Lord Daros.

"Yes, Flagship Commander. Our ship is about to turn to right rudder and reduce its speed to a stalemate with the Chaos Fleet." The enemy ship has entered the attack range! The batteries are at your command, Captain! "
