Chapter 405 05.0404: ‘Cut Off the Battle Line’

Faced with the dangerous situation, Horatio frowned, but remained calm and still calmly commanded the Indefatigable to fight the enemies around him.

He knew very well.

The problem must be solved step by step. If it is disturbed and affected by too many external factors, it will be like an ant on a hot pot.

Not only can it not save Farr, but it is more likely that even the Gothic Squadron will lose money here.

He knew that he must examine and properly unravel the problems with Commodore Perru, and solve them one by one,

so as to turn the tide.

The three armies fought about 2,500 kilometers away from Farr's anchor mine belt, and continued to approach Farr at a speed of 6 void knots.

In front of them, the Chaos Fleet had already been entangled with the Greenskin Fleet, and the battle line had long disappeared. Each fleet was maneuvering according to the judgment of each ship's captain and fighting on its own.

The Gothic Fleet temporarily maintained the battle line to ensure the maximum output of the broadside firepower.

Therefore, the greenskins and Chaos would not let go of this obvious threat in front of them. All the turrets on both sides that allowed the range of fire opened fire on the Imperial Navy ships.

A super-large cannon shell fired from the mouth of a cruiser-sized garbage ship hit the Indefatigable's void shield, splashing a gorgeous colorful ripple.

This powerful shell had the power to destroy mountains and boil seas. The blazing white light ball and the high-temperature mushroom cloud composed of metal gas that followed made the void shield emit a whistle like a scream and wail, and finally turned into a layer of ash and disappeared.

Cold sweat flowed from Horatio's temples. If this powerful live ammunition weapon hit the hull, the damage caused would probably far exceed the previous concentrated fire of the Chaos two main ships' broadside firepower.

Soon, the second ship in the Chaos team, the Killing Class, was almost beaten into a boat stick under the concentrated fire of the Imperial Navy and the greenskins.

Her bridge was burning red, and the weapon turrets on both sides were either destroyed or collapsed by the macro cannon light spears. The only two surviving light giant turrets were also silent. It was unknown whether the crew members had collapsed and fled their posts, or were killed in the greenskins' boarding.

The hull was in tatters, with large and small holes like stars.

Without weapons, this ship used all its energy on the void shield.

"Detected the fluctuation of the subspace rift."

The half-crippled Killer-class ignored the order of the Chaos Admiral and opened a subspace rift that was being generated alone, intending to teleport and escape urgently.

"Don't let her run away, the shuttle apron immediately prepares the assault boat---"

Generally speaking, all the armed forces of the ship that is called for armed will be used to resist foreign enemies, and boarding attacks cannot be carried out.

But the Hell's Vanguard, as a special warfare force of the Imperial Navy, is not affected by this.

As long as Horatio gives an order, they can immediately board the shark assault boat on the shuttle apron to assault the enemy ship and interrupt her warping.

"Huh?! Want to escape??? You stinky black shrimp, take my thick and long dimensional vibration super-large artillery!!!!"

The green-skinned warrior wearing the captain's bicorne roared, a pair of small eyes hidden under the brim of the hat flashed cunningly, hitting the button with electric light on the side, and then a yellow-green lightning flashed from the super-large squeaking electromagnetic cannon on the top of the big stone, directly hitting the Killing-class cruiser that was preparing to leave the battle.

At the moment of the hit, hundreds of green-skinned big guys appeared in the burnt smell of ionized air and the dark green chaotic current inside this airship.

They laughed loudly, and their iron-clad combat boots slammed on the deck, roaring into the subspace engine compartment of the Chaos warship, and used the big shovels and big slashes in their hands to crush all the technical heretics with strange breath and curious appendages.

The crackling power claws tore through the flesh and steel, exposing the activated subspace engine core, and poking the unclean muddy yellow big eye juice splashing.

No one knows how the greenskins overloaded the void shield with 100,000 volts of alternating current, then split a crack in the enemy ship, and finally sent so many big guys up.

But under the greenskins' active, physical "lightning strike", this duck in the mouth can no longer fly.

The subspace rift shrank in a piercing scream, and finally disappeared in the material universe.

The Killing-class cruiser named "Heart of Destruction" floated helplessly in the void, and even the engine could not be fully started, like a desperate prisoner who had completely given up resistance and waited for death.

"It's okay, cancel the boarding attack."

Horatio raised his hand to signal the command center, and the command center immediately sent a communication to cancel the lightning strike plan, and then issued a concentrated fire order to the combat department:

"Solve one first, then the other. All fleets, focus on the "Heart of Destruction."

At the command, all the Imperial Navy ships around the Killing-class with a range of fire focused on it together.

Shells and light spears were fired at the Destroyer-class cruiser, which had no void shield protection and did not start the engine at full speed.

The metal warheads and high-heat beams tore the ship into pieces, and it was broken everywhere. Red flames burst out from the cracks in the main structure, dancing in the void, and the broken pieces of the dome armor were pushed out of the ship in the explosions inside the hull.

A green-skinned light cruiser activated the afterburner and crashed directly into the damaged Destroyer-class cruiser.

Boom! The piercing collision and the sound of metal tearing separated by a void for unknown reasons made Horatio's ears tinnitus.

The Heart of Destruction, whose main structure was damaged, was knocked out of the battle line by the full-powered junk ship's adamantine jaw and pushed towards the battle line of the Imperial Navy.

The armor at the contact area was shattered, and the keel was bent under the impact.

The protection of the internal main engine could not withstand such a huge impact and afterburner. The cracks in the combustion chamber shell expanded again, and crystal plasma began to leak with flames.

"Vashtor, the Creator of Hell, bless us! Grant the end of the aliens!"

The great sage of the technological heretic on the ship held up a long-handled hammer staff with black flames burning at the top, stamped on the ground, and inserted his arm that was like a cable tentacle into the Thinker's main control array in the engine room.

‘The crazy engine is being overloaded—·.—The self-destruct program is about to be activated—··—

"Attention! The enemy is enabling engine self-destruction!"

The behavior of the technological heretics was also perceived by the technical sages on the Indefatigable. The source circuit directly sent the binary language to the machine soul of the Indefatigable, and then was converted into Gothic by the machine soul, in front of Horatio. An early warning report was made.

After receiving the alert, the surrounding imperial navy's warships also immediately stopped firing energy weapons and allocated all energy to the void shield.

The armored blast doors of the Endless's shuttle ramp also closed with a clicking sound.

With a huge explosion that could blind people's eyes, the two connected ships of Chaos and Greenskin were simultaneously engulfed in a purple-red light, and their main structures were completely torn apart.

The semi-melted high-speed fragments of the ship's hull were comparable to macro-cannon shells, shooting around in disorder, and the fastest and most powerful ones were directly blocked by the void shield.

In this round of accidents, which was not an enemy attack but was better than an enemy attack, the void shield of the Indefatigable was overloaded again, but fortunately its armor belt was strong enough, and only a few fragments were firmly embedded in the hull.

As the second ship in the Chaos Front was torn apart by the greenskin's suicide attack.

From a bird's-eye view, the current battle lines are intertwined like the word "earth". The Chaos fleet is cut off in the middle, and the green-skinned garbage ships are approaching the navy ships.

From this moment on, the main opponent of the Gothic Squadron Strike Group changed from the enemy of Chaos to the greenskin fleet that was approaching step by step.

And the big stone that had fought with it before had changed its course and faced the battlecruiser Indefatigable.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Horatio turned to look at the big stone, he seemed to feel that the fierce and cunning beast captain was also staring at him. A man and a beast were looking at each other across the distant void and the layers of rocks and steel armor. .
