Chapter 404 05.0403: ‘Great Crisis in the Inner Ring! ’
This huge flying stone brutally and roughly rolled over a light cruiser that was performing an evasive maneuver.
If it was in the outer orbit, this maneuver might still have a chance of success, but in the inner ring, there are anchor mines in front and gravity fields behind, so the warship cannot accelerate and turn too violently to avoid accidents.
Under such a restricted situation, the light cruiser that could not dodge in time was unfortunately hit by the stone.

The entire ship was like a chicken hitting an elephant. The course was out of control at the first contact. More than half of the weapon array was offline on the spot. The entire ship was hit and rotated, and rushed to the planet's low-Earth orbit with a body of constantly falling fragments.
The interior of the warship was even more miserable. After flying more than 100 kilometers, the technical priest who was tightly attached to the hull with magnetic appendages desperately started the side booster engine, which made the ship itself slightly deviate from this route that led directly to death.
The right side of the ship was hit, and the adamantium shield was sunken. According to a rough calculation, the casualties of the whole ship exceeded 10,000, and even the adamantium keel was bent. The entire slender dreadnought-class light cruiser was like a swan with its neck twisted off. It could only survive and use the four surviving light macro cannons on the side to resist.
The Mars-class battlecruiser hurriedly fired a salvo at the incoming boulder, and then the captain immediately commanded the power department and the cabin commander to maneuver.
Unfortunately, the Mars-class ship had no torpedoes, and the distance was too close for the Nova Cannon.
"Quick! Turn! Turn!"
Inherited from the usual heavy and huge tonnage characteristics of the Imperial Cruiser.
The Mars-class turned slowly, but under the command of the fleet commander, the captain still turned the bow in advance to aim at the incoming boulder.
She released the Starhawk bombers to carry out high-density bombing, but even if she ignored the cost and caused heavy casualties to the other side, it was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot for a void asteroid with such huge inertia. The bombs and damage could not stop this battle asteroid that was already on the verge of destruction.
"Turn on the afterburner! Full power!"
Bang!
Crash.
The battlecruiser was shaken, and the whole ship shook violently up and down. The items that were not fixed inside flew directly into the air and scattered everywhere.
The ship was knocked sideways by a big rock, and the Nova cannon just brushed the front anchor mine and swept past, scaring the people on the bridge into a cold sweat.
Commodore Andrew was almost thrown out of the fleet command throne in the collision, and three of the five notches of the nerve plug were dislocated, pulling his neck so hard that it hurt.
A touch of the hand revealed a bloody color.
Before people could catch their breath, Dashi used the various caliber guns on board to fire fiercely at the flagship, while savagely brushing past the starboard side of the Mars-class battlecruiser.
The huge and harsh metal scraping sound and the glass shattering sound made people dizzy. Many people were overwhelmed and screamed and fell to the ground in this sound beyond the limit of mortals.
"Power Department! Speed up! Speed up! We must leave here!"
Commodore Andrew covered the bleeding neural interface and shouted in pain against the noise.
The right bridge protrusion of the Mars-class Mondayas's Fury was almost completely wiped out by the planetary body, and the fins were broken, breaking directly into two pieces from the middle, and the handling performance and steering maneuverability were damaged.
"Hahahaha, you are nothing but that. Guys! Get on board! Take your iron seat! Waaaaaagh!" The huge green-skinned warlord waved his clawed hands and huge axe, and mobilized his men for battle with a deep and rough roar.
"Burn, kill and loot! Burn, kill and loot! Waaaaagh!"
After the collision, before the dizzy crew members in the Wrath of Mondayas could stand up from the cold deck, what came into view from the windows were thousands of small green-skinned boarding cabins shot from the flying meteorites.
"Call for arms for the entire ship! Call for arms for the entire ship!"
Faced with such a huge threat, the captain's eyes widened with anger, and without thinking, he directly issued an order to call for arms for the entire ship.
This is a combat order that can only be issued in extremely critical situations where the entire ship is lost.
Under the call to arms, all weapon depots on the ship will be open to all crew members, and even contract workers must take up weapons and launch close combat attacks on the enemy under the muzzle of the boarding team members' shotguns and the bayonets of the sailors.
Whenever it is activated, the number of weapons lost will be unimaginable. Even if the immediate crisis is solved, it will also lay hidden dangers for the mutiny conspiracy that will last for decades in the future.
This is a move to quench thirst.
"Come and die! Smelly shrimp! Your ship is ours! Waaaagh!"
"Ready to fire! Fire!"
Thousands of greenskin boarding cabins were launched from all over the stone, without any rules, rushing towards the Imperial Navy with great momentum. This flying asteroid can board and attack surrounding targets in 360 degrees without dead angles.
The greenskins loaded in it are also extremely fierce.
Those who are not big enough are not allowed to participate in boarding. Those who can enter the boarding cabin are the biggest, most powerful, and best-equipped big guys in the stone, as well as their fart servants.
After the captain issued an order to arm the entire ship, the sailors picked up their swords, spears, and halberds. The indentured workers were also rarely opened up by the supervisors, who threw machetes at them and rushed to face the three-meter-tall green-skinned beast.
These tall invaders wantonly hacked and killed fragile humans. Their rough hands could grab an adult with one hand, then opened their bloody mouths and bit the living people in half, smacking them like chewing snacks, and finally spitting the chewed bones mixed with blood and flesh on the deck.
There were also those fart spirits riding jumping skugs. As long as the defense line collapsed or retreated, these fart spirits, which were smaller than their mounts, would ride these fierce bipedal fat beasts, screaming and chasing, tearing the orderly retreat into a rout.
Facing the fierce greenskins, the armed forces on this Mars-class battlecruiser were simply unable to resist attacks from all directions, nor could they defend all the invaded cabins.
The armed forces command finally decided to abandon almost all the peripheral cabins, leaving the cabins divided by the green tide to fend for themselves, and gather as many armed forces as possible to defend the core cabin of the hull, hoping to hold on until the subsequent reinforcements arrived.
In the Indefatigable.
"Commander, Captain, we have received a report on the battle situation from the flagship of the Carl-Duniyash Fleet, the Wrath of Mondayas. Its flagship is being invaded by greenskins and can only hold on.
The inner ring battle has entered the bloodiest collision and contact stage. The commander of the other fleet, Sir Andrew, hopes that the Gothic Fleet can gain an advantage in the outer battle as soon as possible and rush to the planetary orbit." The captain of the communications department reported.
Horatio and Commodore Edward Perrou looked at each other.
Both nodded in understanding.
"Call back Commodore Andrew. Once we are sure of victory, we will rush to help immediately. I hope that the brother fleet will live up to the expectations of the Emperor and hold on firmly."
"Yes, sir."
Horatio stared at the display screen and pondered. Now he not only had to win, but also had to win as soon as possible.
Otherwise, let alone the fleet of the Extreme Star Region, the Star Army on Far Star might also be finished.
The current situation has reached a critical point, but Horatio knew very well that the more confused his mentality was at this time, the worse it would be.
