Chapter 452: Wrath of the Empire
The shipyard that the Red Pirates spent nearly ten years building in New Badab is dying in the flames.
The giant platform structures suffered irreparable damage, gradually overturning and disintegrating, pulsating like a white dwarf star that suddenly appeared in orbit, a pulsing ball of multicolored light.
The shock waves it emitted made nearby star forts tremble.
In fact, the shell of the Star Fortress has suffered serious collateral damage. Although the void shield is still operating, some areas have been overloaded. The structural debris thrown out by the explosion and burning ship fragments have destroyed them. After it penetrated, it hit the shell of the star fort.
What's worse is the fleet parked in orbit. Many of the warships were either destroyed by implosion or paralyzed.
The wreckage and debris were then captured by the gravity of New Badab and spilled from orbit to the ground.
The entire orbital space is in chaos.
The electromagnetic shock destroyed the communication network, and the few remaining channels and communications were filled with frantic ship-to-ship exchanges: questions, inquiries, requests, emphasis.
What happened? what happened? what happened!
But they got no response, no information, and no data.
The throat of the mechanical priest responsible for the communication center has been cut, its speech machine has been shredded, and its brain has been messed up.
As for who did it, no one knows.
The only facts are those recorded by the naked eye and camera through the portholes.
But some smart pirates have realized that this is by no means an accident.
This is an attack, and it can only be an attack, because no accident can have such a huge impact.
New Badab has a strict entrance system, an extremely cautious inspection and re-inspection system, and an excellent multi-layered security system. There must be some powerful force behind a disaster of this magnitude - it has been there for a long time Premeditated and hostile.
This was not an accident, this was an attack.
In the unfiltered and complex communication signals, the words "empire" and "fleet" have begun to appear.
About thirty seconds after the impact caused by the Tyrant's Claw, the ship anchored in the high-rise anchorage began to urgently start its engines and weapon systems.
Some attempted to power the void shields, even preparing to escape from their assigned berths and shift positions.
Afterwards, a small predator ship suddenly exploded.
A giant steel beast began to hunt in the chaos. To the Red Pirates, the name of the giant battleship was the Malevolent Divine Power, but it has been renamed the Unbound Soul.
Now it fights for the Emperor.
After destroying several small predator ships, it poured all its large lance weapons on the Carnage-class cruiser Blackblood, turning the warship that had no time to open its void shield into a ball of metal. The fragments were sprayed in all directions by the gradually expanding fireball.
Then it starts selecting the next target.
The battle barge Mother of Tears following the Unbound Soul also opened fire, as did the battleship Star Wolf, and other battleships.
The sudden strike fleet is like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, killing the enemies and throwing them into chaos.
Many mortal pirate captains have witnessed the Unbound Soul's ruthless hunt on the berth line. Everyone knows what the huge warship is doing. It is destroying all ships in its path. ship, like a man executing a row of unarmed prisoners.
This is not a predatory attack.
The pirates know this, they have done something similar, when attacking a spaceport, all but the captured ships are destroyed so that they cannot be reactivated and used .
But now, this disaster has fallen on them.
Captain Helmerser of the strike cruiser Bloodsorrow was yelling at his men, demanding reports on power, weapons, shields, data - or anything.
But the Blood Torture was docked coldly at the berth, and its engine was almost shut down. Even with the help of the Four Gods, it would take them fifty minutes to get the warship into combat readiness.
Its energy reactor is at its lowest power, providing energy for loading, unloading, repairs and inspections, and its engines, weapons or shields are completely shut down.
"Power! I need power!" Helmerser, an Astartes, became angry. No one wanted to stand in front of him.
"Power is increasing, sir!"
Only his first mate answered him.
“It’s not fast enough at all! Activate the power immediately, and it doesn’t matter if it’s overloaded!”
"The engine room said we can't increase the power to-"
"Tell those bastards in the engine room that what I need is power! Not an excuse!"
But there is no time. .
The Empire's strike fleet is approaching rapidly, causing as much damage as possible and destroying all battleships.
Helmerser stopped his thoughts, he forced his mind to stay awake for a moment, and his consciousness To the point of being overwhelmed by panic and extreme stress—all of us.
The bridge around him was in chaos. A clear mind was the only hope that he could salvage something, anything, from his current situation.
The enemy fleet is approaching, that's the point.
When this attack came, all the warships were on standby, because of this they were unable to fight back.
This opportunity was taken so well, it was as if the enemy knew what they were doing when.
So and so, there is only one explanation.
Insider!
“Don’t let me find that bastard!”
Any curse is lost at this time, the Imperial fleet is releasing waves of merciless bombardment, those who decorate the church and the sky eagle The entire body of Hui's battleship flashed with colorful fury, and every broadside salvo activated the braking gravity system to resist the huge recoil.
And each of their broadside salvos will kill several ships that are unable to fight back, turning them into a ball of flames and metal in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the most powerful Unbound Soul gradually approached the Blood Abuse.
"Where's the power? It's not ready yet?"
The first mate shook his head in despair, and Helmerser was also in despair.
A few seconds later, the Unbound Soul trembled and released another terrifying volley of light spears. The unprotected middle section of the Blood Abuse was hit by a large amount of firepower and was immediately torn apart.
The destruction of the Blood Abuse made Hell Eyes tremble, because the distance between them was actually very close.
Under the strong impact, the remaining technicians in the Star Fortress screamed in fear.
Although their vision was blurred, they were shocked, and they were disconnected from the system, they were still able to detect the huge object hitting the star fort shell, as well as the radiation tide and gravity disturbance caused by its terrifying kinetic energy.
The destroyed Bloodsurge occupies the chaotic sky, with bright cobweb-like high-voltage current attached to its surface, and a large number of electromagnetic pulses are destroying the star fort's already overwhelmed internal system.
“Damn it!”
Amidst the curses, Adnus’ scimitar, which came to the central control hall, was instantly unsheathed, and the sharp blade cut off the thick cable with ease.
In an instant, sparks flew, and the technicians who fell into epilepsy were finally freed from pain.
This is a difficult and correct decision. Although it will cut off the external communication of the entire star fort, it can also protect its internal systems from being interfered with.
Subsequently, ‘Blood Forest’ Adnus gave the order.
"Seal all decks and cabins, and all personnel enter the anti-jump gang combat state! Prepare to make a subspace jump!"
