Chapter 413 05.0412: ‘Star-Splitting Impact’

"Lord Daros, release the ship's torpedoes and perform a high-energy sharp turn in five minutes!" Horatio, as the flagship commander, directed the maneuvers of the two ships.

"The torpedo has been released! High-energy steering is in progress!"

Six Helios torpedoes filed out from the launch port and rushed towards the target.

The huge Haoyue-class cruiser then immediately started the side engines and performed high-energy steering according to the command of the flagship commander.

When the friendly ship's solid and steady hull moved away from the observation line of the Indefatigable bridge, Horatio finally saw the bloated figure.

It was an alien creation that could not be called a battleship at all, but its combat power was still considerable.

In the interview room.

"What kind of person do you think he is?" The admiral asked, covering the lower half of his face with his hands crossed and looking at Louise.

"Decisive, resolute, fearless, brave and resourceful. Whether the enemy is a traitor Astartes, an alien twice his size, or even a demon, he dares to go up and fight the enemy, and he can really win. "

Louise answered cautiously yet boldly.

Inside the tireless number.

"Enemy ship! Green-skinned boulder! 433 kilometers away from our ship!" the observation officer shouted, reporting the distance.

Horatio thought for two seconds and immediately said to Lord Perroux: "Your Excellency, we must stop and destroy this abominable creation, and this arduous task can only be accomplished by the Indefatigable."

"Speak your mind, young man." Brigadier General Peru frowned, and he had some vague guesses about the terrible words coming from this young man's mouth.

"The Indefatigable accelerated its engine at full power, 150 kilometers away from the rock, and released all its torpedoes at the ultimate range. Then it activated its power horns and crashed directly into it."

Brigadier General Peru did not give a reply and remained silent for a long time.

"Your Excellency! This is the only way we can do it now!" He looked at the green-skinned boulder rushing towards him, and turned to look at Brigadier General Peru eagerly.

The brigadier general bit his lower lip, his fingers tightly grasping the fine gold armrests of the command throne, and a fierce game was going on in his heart.

He thought of the time when he was an officer-in-waiting.

One hundred and forty-seven steps away from the command throne are the steps leading to the navigation area. On the third to last floor there is the motto of 'Brave and Fearless' carved by him.

He spent five years as a candidate on this battleship and later served as captain for more than 20 years.

In the eyes of most people, the Indefatigable is an old ship with a service life of 3,300 years.

But whenever others say she is old, as the captain, he will always say: "No, she is not old at all. She has always been so lively and tenacious, brave and fearless, always young, always full of vitality.'

"Sir Perroux!" Horatio shouted again, interrupting his recollection: "We are running out of time."

This time, the brigadier general finally raised his head, with an empty expression, as if he had been relieved of some heavy burden, and seemed to have given up some treasure that he had always held on to. There was a hint of confusion and mistiness in his firm voice:

"Go ahead and do it bravely, acting captain. As I said, the Indefatigable is now under your full command, and you can issue any orders you think are appropriate."

The Commodore looked at Horatio and nodded.

In the interview room.

The admiral turned to discuss with the two lord colonels in a low voice, nodded, and then looked at Louise again.

"Do you think his command ability is enough to be the captain? I heard that he is still very young, three years younger than you, and his biological age is only eighteen years old."

"Admiral, I believe that the battle report of the flagship aviation department of the Indefatigable, as well as his resume, have been sent to your desk from the parchment scroll in the communication boat I carried, and have been carefully read.

I think he is fully capable of being a captain, because in actual combat, he has served as the captain of an unclassified voyage more than once and defeated pirates who attacked transportation lines.

There is no doubt about his bravery and commanding ability. I saw with my own eyes that he fought bloody battles with the enemies who jumped from the command bridge. I was fortunate enough to personally experience the victory he brought. ,

Louise put her hands behind her back, raised her chest and raised her head as she spoke, the flat tail of the candidate's uniform swaying slightly.

Inside the tireless number.

"Power department, full power void shield! Adjust the engine afterburner power to the maximum!

Weapons Department! Charge up the power bumper now! War department! Torpedo warm-up! Launch and standby!

Engineering Department! Assemble the emergency damage control team and stand by! Command Department! Issue an order to prepare the entire ship for attack!

Communications Department, connect all the sound arrays of Butire! "

The chief boatswain blew the long whistle again.

"Attention! The captain has spoken!"

"Imperial naval officers aboard the Indefatigable! I am Captain, Horatio Cochrane. Gothic hero, blood heir of the legendary Admiral Speyer.

Today, we fight bloody battles in the sky of Fal Star to prevent the expansion of the gates of hell.

The Lord of Mankind is watching us today! The Astra Militarum on Phar are watching us! The brother fleet is watching us!

Soldiers of the Gothic Fleet, do you still remember the heroic feats of Captain Abridar? !

today! We will attack the three black stone fortresses just like he did! Destroy the greenskin creation before you! Defend the glory of the Gothic Fleet to the death! "

Then, all the officers on the bridge looked at the green-skinned boulder that was getting closer and closer in front of them, and everyone involuntarily chanted the words that the entire Gothic fleet was familiar with:

"I swear to spread the Emperor's light across the stars, and I will fulfill my duty to bring justice to the galaxy——"

"The Imperial Navy is proud of my actions, and I am remembered by Holy Terra for them!"

Horatio sat on the command throne of the battleship that began to tremble with the afterburner, watching the eyes grow bigger and bigger,

The green-skinned boulder that finally occupied almost the entire view at the front of the bridge began chanting in a low voice with trembling lips.

As bright red warning lights flashed throughout the ship, emergency lights with independent power sources lit up one by one, and all the lights switched to red.

The wailing siren resounded through every corner of the ship, and the whole ship was suddenly in a hurry.

"The captain issued an order to prepare for attack! The captain issued an order to prepare for attack!"

"Secure the ammunition! Tie the iron rope! Tighten it!"

"Quick, belt! Tie the injured to the bed!"

"Fire extinguisher! Fire extinguisher! Fire damage control is in place!"

"01001010---In the name of the God of All Machines, Engineering Servant 021, the 'patch protocol' has been activated, praise the Ohm Messiah."

Looking at the entire asteroid that was constantly enlarging in front of them, everyone on the navigation bridge made preparations for fixed shock absorption and held their breaths. A violent impact was inevitable.

"Release the torpedoes! For the God-Emperor! For the Gothic Fleet! Collision!"

Horatio stared at the torpedo's estimated range of fire as it kept approaching the target, and suddenly roared and gave the last command before the impact.

Previously, five of the six torpedoes fired by the Haoyue-class cruiser successfully hit Dashi, and only one was intercepted.

But now, at such a close distance, it can even be said that it is just past the torpedo safety distance, six speeding short-burning Helios torpedoes rushed out of the six torpedo silos of the Endless.

Before even accelerating to the optimal speed, the hard torpedo head was deeply embedded in the cracked gap that had been exposed in the boulder, adding a few more points of collapse to the terrifying crack.

The Indefatigable followed closely behind, dragging a long plasma tail flame, turning into an unstoppable and deadly spear, piercing the green-skinned boulder.

All the crews of other warships in the surrounding fleet who could see this scene watched in shock as their flagship performed this heroic act.

"Your Majesty, the God Emperor——."

The Star Realm officers and soldiers on the surface of Phar were also dumbfounded, watching a huge Imperial Navy battle cruiser pierce the sky like a shining meteor.

Lieutenant Colonel Wellesley's throat rolled up and down twice. He knew that his naval friend was on this battleship, and he couldn't help but silently pray to the patron saint of the month for his safety.

As an extremely shining light bloomed in front of everyone on the bridge, it meant that the torpedo had successfully hit the target. This was the strong light after the hit that enveloped the entire Indefatigable.

The scorching light makes it difficult to open one's eyes.

Almost at the same time, a steely scream spread throughout the entire battleship.

Buzz! ! !

A powerful decomposition force field surrounds the dynamic collision horn, and the blue color seems to be condensed into substance, with strong flashes of lightning from time to time.

The thorns carried the entire battleship's mass of 30 million tons at extremely fast speeds, like a holy spear piercing the chest, piercing the deeply sunken and battered gap in the boulder.

Buzz! ! !

There was another scream of steel, which was the entire ship shield being squeezed by a powerful external force.

That was the thruster engine of the green-skinned stone. It was arrogantly pushing the main structure of the asteroid, squeezing the plow-type ship on the shield. In an instant, it suffered a pressure of tens of millions of pascals. The wail of the main stiffeners was like an impending The cry of the executed criminal before his death,

Then, the reinforcing rib broke directly from the middle, and the spider web-like cracks spread all the way upward, until even the fine gold Sky Eagle that was flying was shaken open with a childlike crack.

But amidst the thunderous roar of the decomposition force field, the entire Skyhawk ship still quickly pushed into the large rock. In the process, the eagle's beak was blunted, the surface was dented, and finally the entire Eagle Capital was beyond recognition.

After losing the reinforced structure, the shield also dented and collapsed.

Those crew members who stood firm and fired torpedoes were instantly crushed into bloody mud.

The entire torpedo department was almost wiped out, including the mechanical priests stationed inside.

Below the shield is now a sea of ​​metal and cables dotted with flesh and blood.

Gobs of blood flowed from the twisted metal gaps and poured into the purification pool along the drainage channel. A half arm stretched out from the collapsed part lay across the cold deck, and the hanging palm was pricked by flying metal steel bars. A big bloody hole appeared.

In just ten seconds after the impact, thousands of people died directly on the route of the Indefatigable.

But the fate of the green-skinned stone was even more tragic. After being hit by two rounds of torpedoes, a total of 11 Helios torpedoes, the two ships maintained their afterburner state at the same time, without slowing down, and collided head-on at extremely high relative speeds.

"No! How is that possible! It's just shrimp! It's just shrimp!"

"Head! It's the blue shrimp that the boys on the clay ball said killed our two bosses!"

"No! My mud ball! My big fuck! My Waaaaagh big business! No!!!"

Under this unparalleled set of attacks, the rock mass of the big stone was finally overwhelmed and gradually fell apart.

It turned into tens of millions of meteorites, large or small, wandering outside the anchor mine belt.

That extremely threatening opponent is now just an asteroid belt filled with gravel.

The greenskins who were still fighting the demon ship in the distance were also stunned.

"These shrimps are so brave. I wonder if they will hit us right away?"

"Gah! Don't do this!"

"Run! Boss! We'll fight again tomorrow. That blue shrimp named Horatio was too brave!"

"Look at you cowards! You're just like a soft fart! Kill the black shrimp in front of me first!"

In the distance.

The Indefatigable stopped its power and slowly floated in a pile of broken gravel, with its plasma engine flickering erratically.

The gravel scraped against the hull armor that had long lost the protection of the void shield, making a harsh noise.

When the big stone collapsed, a group of debris above smashed the holy halo on the top of the command bridge.

The second light spear turret on the ridge of the ship blocked the fatal blow for the command bridge.

All its condenser gun barrels were broken, and it was like a wilted green onion, hanging down at the turret.

In the command bridge, almost everyone fell to the ground.

Sobbing and wailing in pain were heard.
