Chapter 3323 The Fury of Orpheus (2)
"Soldiers of the Empire."
After feeling the high morale on the bridge, Soshyan picked up the communicator and started broadcasting throughout the area.
"The enemies are not invincible monsters. They will also be destroyed. They will also be conquered. For the sake of the throne, for the people of Orps, and for the victims who were massacred, let us lift up the sharp blade of revenge!"
revenge! revenge! revenge!
The bridges of all ships chanted in unison before Imperial warships lit up the dark void with dense webs of lasers and plasma.
Soshyan did not order conventional torpedo and missile attacks because he knew that the opponent must be prepared, but if he is prepared now, it does not mean there will be more in the future
Because the Imperial ships chose to stick together in a group, the power of the salvo was limited and did not achieve many results. Only a single digit number of Necron ships were sunk, but this is not important.
The distance between the two sides quickly disappeared. As in the simulated battle, the Menak fleet, which was in a crescent formation, tried to penetrate the human formation by attacking diagonally with both wings, and then went around behind the human to attack, taking advantage of the maneuvering disadvantage of the human ship. Perform repeated kills.
But Soshyan didn't give them a chance. Facing the tight group of ships, the undead ships that rushed in quickly found that they were facing attacks from all directions. Although their weapons were also destroying human warships in batches, But his losses also began to rise rapidly.
A harvester ship passed over the Randall. The particles and lightning it emitted hit the Randall's void shield, causing a burst of ripples and flashes. Then the void shield briefly extinguished, and three attack ships immediately followed. , bombarded the Randall's upper deck with flashes of green flames, but encountered the Hearthborn's large shield generator.
Before they could move away, fire from the Arika Dominator battleship shattered two of the raiders into tumbling fragments and crashed into the Randall's re-raised void shield.
When the two wings of the Necron fleet struggled to penetrate the Imperial fleet, they lost 6 harvesters and 23 raiders, and of course sunk 74 Imperial battleships, including 12 cruisers and 1 battleship—— The Orpheus Fleet's Retribution -class battleship Storm Warrior was besieged by three Reaper Ships and was eventually silenced due to a catastrophic reactor accident after taking one of them away.
However, when the Necron fleet penetrated the convoy, they found that the convoy had been divided into two. Due to the non-line formation, the Imperial warships changed direction much faster. At this time, they became one In a funnel formation that covered each other, the Necrontyr had to face the frontal firepower of the Imperial warships again, but this did not prevent them from continuing to charge.
Light spears, plasma, and live ammunition fire formed a terrifying storm in the void between the two fleets. Any alien warship involved would be chopped into pieces. At the same time, the Necrontyr also launched a furious attack, emerald and amber. The light flickered on and off, shattering the void shield and tearing apart the deck. The fleets on both sides were fighting, and the spaceships even scratched briefly as they passed by.
In just one hour, the void was filled with all kinds of metal debris, and it continued to spread into the distance.
"Assault formation, move forward!"
Soshyan stared at the death vortex-like battlefield and issued key instructions. The Randall began to accelerate, running towards Menak's two tomb ships like an arrow. At the same time, the two sides of the fleet began to extend out. Two "arms", they are all battleships of the well-protected Minotaur Chapter in the center of the fleet. The four battle barges are grouped in two, like the horns of a bull, and the Randall is the bull's head.
Facing the approaching imperial warships, the Menak fleet showed no intention of retreating. Instead, the two tomb ships came forward. They were surrounded by more than a dozen assault ships and harvest ships, using brutal artillery to destroy all targets in their path.
Especially when the two tomb ships opened fire, it was even more powerful. In just a moment, the entire bow of the Retribution-class battleship Grace Amulet was blown to pieces, and the hull began to rotate and deflect uncontrollably.
What's even more terrifying is that even from such a distance, Soshyan can feel the cold spiritual touch.
"There is a riot on the bridge of the Arica Master, and the political commissar is suppressing it!"
Similar news continued to come, and as the distance approached, the spiritual weapons of the Necrons began to exert their power, and the fleet began to have difficulty maintaining its formation, and began to show signs of collapse. Suddenly, the void in front of the observation window was suddenly obscured by strong green light, and then the bridge shook slightly.
"The void shield was penetrated!"
"A3 deck area damaged!"
"The ninth artillery area was damaged and on fire, and the fire is being put out urgently!"
The first time the Landauer was hit, a big hole appeared on the front deck, and debris continued to fly out from inside. Although he was distressed, Soshyan knew that there was no way to retreat now, and the two tomb ships had already put all their firepower into it. Aimed here.
"All raiding ships prepared"
There was another shaking, and more sirens came. At the same time, the roar of the black light cannon also shook one of the tomb ships, adding many cracks and holes, while the plasma annihilation cannon on the bow of the ship knocked out another. A fragment of a tomb ship, but not fatal.
"The assault formation is ready!"
"Launch all torpedoes and missiles!"
The torpedoes and missile weapons that had not been used before were all launched in an instant. There were more than a thousand of these destructive weapons. They headed straight for the enemy's tomb ship, eager to destroy it.
But halfway through, a huge energy shock swept through. Almost all missiles and torpedoes instantly failed, and the bridges of some battleships also immediately shut down.

What Soshyan wants is this opportunity!
"Attack!"
The Landauer began to accelerate, but it was not for attack. Sixteen modified assault landing ships followed closely behind the main ship. They had been under the protection of the Landauer, as if they were attached to the belly of a large fish. Like a small fish, he survived by relying on the Randall's chance of attracting firepower.
At the same time, the horns on both wings began to "forward", and an assault formation composed of more than sixty battleships rushed towards the enemy headlong, while the Necrons responded with more violent artillery.
Many battleships stopped, then exploded and disintegrated, but more of them just accelerated their engines and kept firing and shooting, even if they just added a scratch to the opponent, they also needed to attract some firepower. Those harvesters and assault ships immediately dispersed, trying to form a An interception line.
The Randall had five relatively serious damages at this time, and a black light turret almost caused a serious accident due to being hit, but it was still close to the opponent.
Suddenly, just as it endured another whipping from the particle whip, and a kilometer-long hole was torn out of the left deck, it suddenly changed direction and adjusted its course diagonally upward.
The sixteen assault landing ships were like thrown gliding bombs, breaking away from the Randall's protection and heading towards their ultimate goal.
The Minotaur's assault formation also broke through the interception network composed of harvesters and assault ships, and "pierced" the opponent fiercely.
