Chapter 1887 Steel and Stone (Part 2)
Although many people did not agree with that crazy plan, the leader of the Red Scorpions still insisted on executing it. When ready, the loyalist assault fleet jumped in Entering the physical space of the Badab Galaxy, it pounced directly on Badab 6 from the vertical height of the entire galaxy plane. This fleet consisted of no less than 6 Space Marine battle barges and 9 assault cruisers, as well as 6 Imperial Navy battleships, a large ship of the Adeptus Mechanicus and 84 other smaller ships as its vanguard. It was the "King of Raptors", and what it was dragging was a burning star fragment that was torn off from the Sorrowful Star Falls (actually, I don't quite understand it either).
When Badab's war machine finally reacted and prepared to attack, they were unable to prevent what was going to happen next. The heavy and huge "King of Raptors" raised its main engine to maximum output. , quickly reaching top speed, it worked hard to fight against the inertia of the star fragments, and finally threw it away. Then the hellfire went straight towards the Sigma node, while the Loyalist fleet was at a safe distance behind. A spearhead attack formation was launched.
Unable to escape from the path of the star fragments, all defensive weapons within the range of the defense line soon opened fire. However, due to the light of this terrifying new star that was rushing towards the node, As shown, the weapons of the "Ring of Steel" could not even aim at the target, and then the terrifying energy washed through the void shield. Although it did not directly destroy the node, it paralyzed it, and the landing craft following the fragments brought the Angel of Death to The key control center of the Ring of Steel, Badab Six, fell.
Today, Helbrecht only used six battleships to capture it. It can be seen that the Ring of Steel is no longer what it used to be, but from another perspective, even the remaining parts of the former Ring of Steel are still intact. Still has great power.
Reaching out to take the data pad handed over by his assistant, Helbrecht looked at the data with a critical eye.
The casualties are not large, which also means that there are not many enemies left behind. The current number of enemies annihilated is only six to seven hundred Chaos Space Marines. It seems that such a critical node, but only With such a sparse garrison, the firepower of various equipment was also very weak, and post-war inspections found that most of the armories were basically empty or had very little inventory.
Either the commander is a negligent fool, or the other party deliberately abandoned this place.
Obviously, the traitor named Honso belongs to the latter.
So there won’t be any joy in defeating Badab No. 6 Herbrecht.
Suddenly, Helbrecht felt something pass through his heart, as if invisible claws were gently scratching the curtain, and at the same time, all communication equipment erupted into a brief noise.
"Report immediately what's going on."
Soon, he received a message from the navigator. Just now, an unknown subspace force erupted from a distance, and its impact was huge. It even caused some weak navigators and astropath apprentices to faint, while those who were powerful saw a hellscape of demons rampant in the waves.
Helbrecht immediately ordered the fleet to conduct reconnaissance.
A few hours later, the reconnaissance fleet sent a message and reported a shocking news.
The planet Secundus, which is in the secondary stage of the plan, has been captured by the power of subspace and turned into a demonic world!
So Helbrecht immediately convened an emergency meeting with the commanders of each battle group.
Soon, Malakin, Raif, Costas (Captain of Star Phantom Chapter) and others arrived on the Obsidian Throne, but the commander of the second theater, Samuel, was missing. Without a trace, Costas just explained that Grand Master Ravenwing had other important matters to deal with, and no one else asked any more questions.
Helbrecht has dealt with the Dark Angels and their sub-groups and knows what they are always hunting. However, the first Supreme Marshal of the Black Templars, Sigismund, issued a gag order. , prohibiting the Black Templars from asking and investigating the Dark Angels. This ban has continued to this day, so he did not say anything.
“This is what the reconnaissance fleet photographed.”
In the dim conference room, Helbrecht turned on a projector, and then a colorful picture appeared.
It was a light scene shot, pointed directly into the void, where there were many asteroids, each of which seemed to have runes and marks carved on the rock surface.
In the asteroid belt, there is also a crystal cloud hanging in the void, like hundreds of millions of broken mirrors. The crystal fragments reflect crazy colors and bizarre scenes, and in the crystal cloud And surrounded by the asteroid belt, there is a blood-red planet. When everyone is staring at the planet, a huge, bloodshot eye opens on the surface, like a tick buried on the surface of the planet. Its size is large. People are shocked. Just as the first eye opened, more eyes opened one after another on those asteroid fragments, staring at each one as if through a lens.
Then the camera began to bump, as if the ship was taking risks and continued to move forward. The crystal fragments were closer, and you could even see the twisted demon face blooming in the crystal, like a ghost in a nightmare. Glittering on the silver surface, staring hungrily at the lens and the soul contained within.
Then bright metal rings and rows of giant cannons came into view. They saw those huge weapons, installed on slowly rotating steel rings. Each one was a galaxy-level defensive weapon, but part of the metal structure, Including the giant array of ancient artillery, all twisted by demons.
Seeing the weapons begin to adjust, the camera immediately began to move back, and Helbleich also turned off the projector.
“For these ten minutes of footage, I paid the price of a frigate and all the crew. It was hard-won.”
When the lights lit up the entire conference room, Malakin frowned. Wrinkled, he said:
"Secundes wasn't like this before, was it? I don't remember that it was protected by an asteroid belt."
"Before we came, it was really not like this."
Recalling the scene just now, Raif said with disgust:
"Witchcraft, heretics use witchcraft to turn this world into a If we find a demon planet, we should execute the extermination order."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Secundes's defense system still exists, and the long-range extermination order will be intercepted, not to mention the demons. Interference, it is difficult for ships to approach the planet now"
"Ignore him for now?"
Costas tentatively put forward his own suggestions.
“At present, the impact of subspace is not great, and demons cannot travel long distances through the void. It will not be too late to deal with it after the Badab main star is solved.”
“I’m afraid it’s not realistic, Se Kundes' weapon array contains some of the galaxy-level defense weapons of the Ring of Steel. Its coverage range can reach half of the galaxy, and the main star of Badab is within its range."
" There is such a thing, then”
“Let’s put it aside and talk about this first”
Helbrecht tapped his finger lightly, and a line of clear data immediately popped up on the monitor on the table.
