Chapter 3285 Evil Moon Volley
Just when the two company commanders were shocked speechless by the bad situation Talos described, a sound suddenly came from a brass horn hanging on the pillar.
"Chapter Commander! Admiral Georg Karu, Commander-in-Chief of the Orps Sector Fleet, would like to communicate with you via video communication!"
"Accept."
< br>When the projection equipment was turned on, the air in front of Soshyan rippled, and then a man wearing an admiral's uniform was projected, and he performed a standard Aquila salute.
"Salute to you, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexey!"
"Hail to you, too, Admiral Georg Karu."
The short greetings ended, then An admiral also immediately explained his intention.
“You and your Chapter were the first Astartes Chapter to assist Orpheus. After the sacrifice of the Angels of Death, your arrival brought hope to everyone. However, No disrespect, we just scanned one of your fleets and A ship that is not in the imperial ship type record? Its size is also so amazing. Can you tell me?"
"It is an Abyss-class warship, a warship converted from a salvaged hulk. I will ask someone to send the keel identification code. Past.”
"Is that so? I have a request."
"Please tell me."
"Can you allow me to board the ship to see for myself?"
Although we are separated There was a blurry projection, but Soshyan could still feel the hesitation and desire of the other party. This fleet commander should be a person who loves ships. Seeing a strange and huge ship, he couldn't hold it back.
So he nodded.
"Okay, but Gary Bullen is still waiting for us, so we have to control the time a little bit."
"Half an hour, just give me half an hour!"
The following person The admiral brought a large number of naval officers to the Randall. While the scale of the magnificent ship was shocking, I was also shocked by its internal structure and various parameters. Although some of the weapons were not conventional weapons of the empire, they were fooled by Soshyan's words "experimental equipment of the Adeptus Mechanicus". , of course the area that Furnace is responsible for is not open.
For the naval officers of Orps, they have never been exposed to a warship of this level in a remote location, so the most frequently asked question is - who is bigger, the Abyss class or the Queen of Glory class? ?
Soshiyan's answer is that from the average value, the Abyss class is larger, but there are also size differences between the Glory Queen class, so it cannot be generalized.
Taking this opportunity, Soshyan also had a general understanding of the strength of the Orps fleet.
It can only be said that it is okay, but the ships are generally old, and many of them have expired.
For example, their battleships are basically Retribution class and Emperor class. There are 3 ships in total. Only one of them, the Emperor class, is undergoing temporary repairs, while the flagship Arika Master is a revelation. The record-class battleship is also the legacy left by the saint Marduk.
In addition to 4 battleships, the Orps fleet also had 29 cruisers of various types and 195 small ships. Before the bloody Hundred Days, they actually had 35 cruisers and 234 small ships. In just one hundred days, the entire Orps fleet lost 6 cruisers and 41 small ships.
Even with such losses, the scale still seemed to be quite large. But when Soshyan carefully asked about their combat readiness, the admiral seemed a little unnatural. Although he said that everything was fine, he could not be deceived. Soshyan.
After leaving Amara III, the fleet sailed all the way to Amara Prime and quickly approached the target. As the capital, Amara Prime is naturally the most heavily protected. In addition to a series of orbital weapons platform facilities, it also has two large combat space stations, or two small fortresses guarding the planet's high orbit. They are respectively Named Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2, each is an exaggerated firepower monster. To the naked eye, the huge gyro-shaped metal structure is covered with dense laser arrays and missile launchers, as well as multiple void shields. generator.
Father Suna, who was on duty on the bridge, made a rough estimate based on the scan results and concluded that the firepower of these combat space stations is roughly equivalent to a cruiser squadron. If the two are added together, even Even battleships have to avoid its edge.
“Not enough, far from enough.”
Soshiyang shook his head at this.
"If the Necrons are really determined to raid Amalur Prime, these two combat space stations will never last twenty minutes."
He walked to the Thinker Platform, looked at it carefully for a while, and then continued:
"Defense Questions" It’s a big question. They all rely on fixed weapons to stop the enemy. However, with the flexibility of Necron ships, it is easy to get into unfavorable shooting positions with fixed weapons. I didn’t see any fighter platforms, not one, but This is exactly the weapon to stop the Necron. It They have few ships and few fighters. Although their performance is good, their number is the only performance they cannot make up for. Using a large number of fighters can effectively delay the Necron attack. Their firepower density is not enough to quickly clear out large areas. fleet, and the bombers carried Melt missiles are still a threat to them, and they are easier to approach than battleships."
Taros on the side suddenly smiled:
"You can't expect everyone to know as well as you do. Necron ”
Soshyan nodded and looked away from the Thinker screen.
"Yes, so this is the biggest problem. Orpheus still has some strength, but he knows nothing about the enemy, except what he is."
"This battle It’s not easy to fight.”
Talos’ words made Soshyan realize something. He walked to him, lowered his head and said softly:
“Brother, what did you see?”
"Corpse, countless corpses, human, metal, and the dark green moon covering the sky, surrounded by black stars."
Talos' description is very abstract, Sosh Yang frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a slight hesitation:
"The Necron battleship is a crescent-shaped dark green moon. Isn't it that kind of tomb ship?"
Taros shrugged.
“I don’t know about this, but there are two weird moons I saw.”
Soshiyang walked aside with his hands behind his back. He might not necessarily believe the words of the Eldar prophet, but he trusted Talos's premonition. After roughly speculating for a while, he believed that the strange moon Talos saw was the Necrontyr's tomb ship. , or maybe worse.
For example, World Engine.
If they really launch this thing, it is estimated that the Randall will not be able to stop it, but even if there are two tomb ships at once, Soshyan feels that this battle will be difficult to fight, regardless of the number of imperial ships. , there are not many that can be used. If the Royal Court's ships were not used in the last battle, they would have ended up being swept by the opponent.
"Chapter Commander, Amara sent a message to request instructions on docking!"
The sound of communication from the bridge interrupted Soshyan's thoughts, he turned around and said:
"Reply, you can enter the port."
"Yes!"
Soon, the huge fleet entered the port area in the orbit of Amara's main star. After entering, there was already a large group of sector military and political forces. The dignitaries were waiting. On behalf of the governor was a prime minister, and the local patriarch was also present. After a while of greetings, Soshyan took the governor's special large shuttle to the surface of the planet.
