Chapter 1045 Iongra Speer’s Plan
“My lord, this is the red pirate signal coming from the edge of the Pavilion Star.”
Marco reported that as the technical director, he also has Eligible to participate in the combat meeting hosted by Iongra Speer.
Hearing the news, the fleet commander of the Black Legion was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Are they still nearby? This is interesting, where is the empire?"
"Remote surveyors are scanning over 30 ships moored in high orbit across the Perimeter Sky, and thermal responses from reactors and sensors indicate a mix of capital ships and heavy transports."
Kranon the Merciless He leaned his hands on the shiny metal edge, and a faint sneer flashed across his lips.
"Does this require instruments? You can see it with your eyes."
"The eyes can't be that precise."
Hear this sentence , the leader of the Brotherhood of Steel, 'Cold Steel' Capak Tari shook his head.
He was a soldier who served in the later stages of the Great Expedition. His eyes were originally silver, but now the smoky gray lenses are deeply embedded in the scarred eye sockets - during the Battle of the Farr Sea, he was struck by a ship's cabin explosion and formed sharp eyes. The fragments hit him hard, causing severe neurological damage, turning his face into a cold, mysterious mask, but he never cared, only proud of the scars from his service.
After receiving support, Marco continued his report.
".We also detected an unusually large reactor signal, consistent with the Dark Angel's monolithic fortress."
Aingra Speer nodded.
“A scary thing, but it has passed its prime. I just didn’t expect that the Dark Angels would open their lair and lose so miserably before.”
Then, he looked seriously at the hologram above the table and the real-time updated data.
The Death Star is in the center of the hologram. Small red icons dot the world. The Black Legion's new battle group is approaching, marking the size and location of enemy ships in orbit.
A few of the icons are particularly obvious, primarily the Dark Angels' Stone Fortress, the Astral Knights' Eternal Loyalty, and the White Templars' Heart of Light, while other icons are based on their size and reactor emissions Be classified.
Currently, the picture shows that no less than 10 cruiser-sized spots are parked on Pai Mao, surrounding another 10 transport ships. There are also double-digit small warships cruising and patrolling on the outside.
Hale Raynor stood to the left of Ion Grasper, barely concealing the worry on his face.
There is no doubt that the enemy has twice as many capital ships as they do. Although for now, the Black Legion still enjoys the advantage of surprise, no one can tell how long this situation will last.
Not just him, the entire dark hall was full of tension and uneasiness——
In fact, most of the people in the Black Legion had lost confidence due to previous failures. If reinforcements had not arrived, They had long since fled.
Then Heller Reno focused on tactics, trying to put aside his sense of foreboding.
“My lord, the enemy outnumbers us.”
Iongra Speer glanced at the other party sideways and said sarcastically:
"I can do calculations in my head, brother, I think I can count to thirty myself."
海Le Reno twisted his shoulders uncomfortably.
"Yeah, of course, I'm not attacking the obvious, I'm just curious about your strategy-"
"Take it easy, brother."
However, Eingra Speer chuckled and patted Heller on the shoulder.
“I understand what you mean.”
He pointed to the fleet group above the Paiji star.
"Our mission is not to defeat them. Even an Ogryn knows that this is impossible. We can't even chew the boulders, let alone other warships."
As he spoke, he turned to glance at Kranon.
"We just need to send reinforcements to the ground."
Kranon snorted and said hoarsely:
"The other side is not an idiot and will let you walk to the track with such arrogance." "So we have to count on it."
Ion Grasper pointed to an inconspicuous weak signal near the planet.
That's the Red Pirates' fleet.
“I’m curious.”
Kapak Tali suddenly said:
“How did they manage to remain undetected at such a close distance? "
"What is the name of the leader of the Red Pirates this time? I don't remember, but that guy has two skills in psychic powers, and he also has a group of Thousand Sons wizards under his command. "
"Wizard."
Kranon spat directly on the ground.
“They are all disgusting things.”
“Anyway, their methods are very useful to us, that’s fine.”
As he said that, he clicked Check out the control panel.
"This is the battle plan. I also sent it to the Red Pirates. According to the plan, there is a high probability that we can-"
As he was talking, the bridge alarm suddenly sounded.
"Sir! They have discovered us. The patrol fleet has already approached and is preparing to engage. With the current course and speed, the contact time will be forty-five minutes."
Marco stood up. body, hands clasped behind his back.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
They have fired their bows and there is no turning back, but now they are still some distance away from the Pavilion Star, and the battle group still has the time and ability to withdraw from the system.
If they choose to move forward, they will be irrevocably plunged into battle.
Ion Graspeer did not hesitate.
"Execute the attack plan, send the signal, maintain speed, and once the patrol comes into range, engage immediately, we will launch the first strike, and the Red Pirates will wait for instructions."
Marr Coe bowed to Eingraspeer, turned around, and issued a series of orders to the command staff.
Iongraspiel turned his attention back to the hologram. After looking at it for a while, he turned to Kranon and said:
"Brother, you have to prepare for orbital landing. I expect that we It will pass through the low orbit of the Rebellion Star in three hours."
"I understand."
Kranon finished speaking and began to transmit the order through his channel.
At this time, the image above the collector updated again, this time depicting the approximate locations of the three patrol squadrons.
Ahead of them, three squadrons, displayed in bright red, slowly formed into a rough crescent-shaped formation, like a pair of encircling arms, toward the oncoming Black Legion fleet.
The numerical data in blue and red colors describes the changes in the distance, course and speed of the two armies as the speed steadily increases.
Ion Grasper studied these glowing data particles carefully, arms crossed, expression distant and deep.
Suddenly, Heller Renault felt uneasy when he saw a ghostly smile flash across the face of the fleet commander.
At that moment, he wanted to know what the picture was in the other person's mind, because he knew this guy too well, everything was good, but sometimes it was easy to be overconfident!
But now he can't do anything but pray that the dark power can protect them this time.
