Chapter 833 Battle of Dacia
“Repeat the same trick?”
Looking at the approaching heavy cargo ship, Asterion sneered under his helmet.
They did not come empty-handed. In order to deal with the Astral Knights, they studied all the opponent's battle cases and came to a conclusion.
Soshyan is an extremely cunning commander. Since most battles involve the weak defeating the strong, he is very accustomed to using some more insidious strategies, which will make the Astartes who are used to being straightforward. Style enemies are very unsuitable.
But one of the characteristics of Asterion is that he is never afraid to think the worst about his opponent, even if the opponent is a Space Marine.
Obviously, Soshyan intends to use his most common tactics.
“Hmph, do you think we are greenskins?”
Although those cargo ships did not identify themselves, Asterion no longer needs to worry about these, because the other party’s The cargo ship must be filled with dangerous cargo.
“Open fire, output full firepower, and destroy them in the shortest time!”
"They turned!"
But an accident happened. The cargo ship that was expected to rush straight towards seemed to be disturbed and began to move in different directions.
Asterion hummed, as if he was thinking, and more than twenty seconds later he issued a new command.
"Distribute firepower and still carry out the original attack plan."
Soon, surging long-range firepower shot out from the fleet of the Minotaur Chapter, rushing towards the three A cargo ship left, and those cargo ships also raised void shields to fight.
But their void shields were obviously not very strong. After supporting a round of attacks, they were already crumbling.
Soon, the second round of attacks followed, and the void shield flickered and disappeared after a few seconds.
Laser, plasma, missiles and other destructive forces poured into the outer shell of the cargo ship, setting off bursts of explosive sparks and throwing large chunks of the structure into the void.
Although they are not completely dead yet, it is only a matter of time.
As the damage became more severe, the cargo ships slowed down and eventually stopped.
Asterion sat on the throne, motionless, like a statue.
Then, as he watched, the three cargo ships suddenly exploded from within.
At first they looked like they had been destroyed by artillery fire, but when those purple thunders and whirlpools swept the wreckage inside, everything changed.
"Whirlpool Torpedo——"
A cold name sounded under Asterion's helmet.
"I underestimated you."
The other crew members were not as calm as him. As the three vortex torpedoes were detonated, they each tore three small subspace rifts in the void, and then with A strange chain reaction occurred at the jumping node, and the three cracks gradually merged, forming a
huge crack more than thirty kilometers wide.
This rift was calm for the first few seconds, but when it began to close under the influence of earthly power, supernatural violent turbulence suddenly gushes out.
It was mixed with the maniacal laughter of demons and the wails of living beings, sweeping across the fleet of the Minotaur Chapter with majestic momentum.
For a moment, the entire fleet was blown away!
The turbulence caused by the wind of subspace can even push a giant ship like the Storm Lady dozens of kilometers away!
And the impact is unknown. Since the Geller force field was not opened, the wind of subspace rolled directly over many mortals in the fleet. Some people fainted and fell to the ground, while others appeared. He suffered from hallucinations and began to attack the people around him unconsciously.
At this time, the entire Minotaur fleet was in chaos.
The real initiator is sitting cross-legged in a secret cabin of the Unbound Soul, looking at the eleven vision crystals suspended beside him, with a sly smile on his face.
But others are not in such a good mood.
Listening to the constant roars and gunshots from the communication channel, Asterion remained motionless in his seat, but everyone close to him could feel the energy gathering in him. A dark rage.
Finally, he spit out a few words.
"Suppression."
Soon, those roars and screams were replaced by the roar of bolters.
The communication channel fell silent. "Sir! The enemy fleet suddenly appeared and began to approach the Storm Lady!"
At this time, the captain's voice suddenly sounded, and then an eyeball rose in front of Asterion Display instrument.
In the void, a fleet that was not huge but tightly formed was rapidly approaching the Storm Lady, which had broken away from the formation, and they did not hide their identities.
They are the heavy cruiser Unbound Soul, the battle barge Soulbringer, the strike cruiser Spark, the newly built moon-class cruiser Icewind, and five frigates and destroyers.
"What a plan."
Seeing this scene, Asterion smiled instead, but his laughter was extremely cold.
"Using the subspace rift to create chaos, quietly approaching from the side, and it seems that he wants to snatch away the Storm Girl."
Then he stood up.
This move seemed to be some kind of signal, and the terminators on his left and right also moved at the same time, handing their spears and shields to his hands.
"Then let me see how good your teeth are, Soshyan Alexei."
——————————
“Sit tight, Recruit! "
Ustad's roar sounded from Bahram's helmet.
“You are standing in the aisle.”
"Sorry."
As Bahram carefully stepped aside,
others in the team walked in.
Then he stopped where he was, sat down, locked it, and lowered the door bars to his shoulders.
Everything that requires manual operation is ridiculously large, as if designed for the clumsy hands of children.
Bahram pulled the helmet over his head. The helmet locked onto his collar with a steady hiss, the air he breathed now fully internalized.
A layer of far infrared swept across his visual display, information bars and public threat levels popped up, and the automatic combat systems in the armor were turned on one by one.
“Nothing.”
He murmured, as if chanting.
Originally, the people of the 10th company did not participate in this operation, but Soshiyan specifically asked Bahram and his group to temporarily join the 2nd company of Ustad, mainly to train them. The experience of fighting among the Astartes, especially the Astartes of the Empire, is rare.
So not only him, Haoma, Robin and others also joined this operation.
The squad leader's chair is located on the right front of the breakthrough barrier, so that when it is turned on, he is the person closest to him and faces the aisle directly.
The torpedoes of Tiao Gang were crowded with people, and the soldiers were too big to turn around, so they retreated and locked themselves in place.
The Mechanical Supervisor conducts a cursory system check while the Astral Knights prepare their weapons.
Robin unsheathed his sword, the tip of the sword stood on the deck, and whispered to the eagle pattern on the hilt, as if praying.
Oscar has a plasma rifle on his lap, Zod is adjusting his heavy flamer, and Hauma is holding a melta gun, which is a good configuration for the kind of close combat you might expect aboard an enemy ship. It's a perfect match.
The current Astral Knight armory is rich enough to allow recruits like them to operate heavy weapons.
Others carried bolters, making clicking sounds as they inspected the inside and outside of their weapons.
The ammo counter flashed on Bahram's display as his armor connected to his own weapons base system, his sword sheathed at his hip.
After being satisfied, the mechanical supervisor left, and the hatch slammed shut, followed by the sound of metal friction and hissing from the pneumatic lock, followed by a violent vibration.
The Tiaobang torpedo launch system was activated.
