The battlefield is not in favor of the Empire at this time. Although 1 Reaper ship, 2 light cruisers, 3 Jackal raiders, and 1 Dirge raider were destroyed, a total of 7 ships were destroyed, but the cost was a Gothic-class cruiser [Longbowman] ], 2 strike cruisers [Blue Ice] and [Thunder], 5 light cruisers, 21 destroyers and escorts, a total of 27 ships!
The Necrontyr fleet only lost one-fifth of its strength, while Soshyan lost more than one-third! (I am already cheating. In the naval battle of Orpheus, the empire’s super fleet of hundreds of small boats, 60 battleships, seven battleships and four battle barges was used less than one-fifth of the total human fleet. The small boat plus twenty harvest ships and two tomb ships were tortured to a tenth)
Soshyan thought that he was a veteran in commanding so many naval battles, but now he is somewhat embarrassed. The dilemma of having nothing to lose, the opponent's ship is too fast, the imperial warship's damn firepower layout on both sides makes it necessary to make a difficult and large angle turn before firing, which not only wastes time, but also reduces the hit rate, leaving nothing in sight The brute force of the giant cannon and heavy armor cannot be exerted much at all, but the opponent's warship has an absolute advantage in speed, firepower, hit rate and lethality. This is like using a wooden warship to collide with an iron-clad ship. Any plan or strategy is very weak. .
"Soshyan."
Suddenly, a man walked up to him. He turned his head and saw Kayan in armor, so he walked with him to the side where no one was. location, have a conversation with a heart-to-heart communication that only two people can hear.
"We must summon the fleet of the Eternal Royal Court. We underestimated the strength of a Necrontyr dynasty."
Although Khayon was right, Soshiyang was very depressed at this time, but it actually didn't matter. , but Soshiyang has always insisted on a "sense of boundaries" in his heart, trying his best to prevent the Eternal Royal Court from appearing in front of his fellow legions and soldiers, or it can be called a "shame", but because of his It was a wrong judgment, but it had to be done. Regardless of whether everyone would have doubts afterwards, a strange power of Ada would inevitably enter the sight of the legion soldiers. Although it would not have any impact for the time being, after all The elusiveness and vagueness of Ada's actions are a common perception among almost all imperial forces.
They can both harm the empire and sometimes help it.
Soshyan nodded.
"Then please send me a signal."
With that said, Soshiyang handed a piece of jade green leaf to Kayon. The other party took the psychic token, turned around and walked out of the bridge quickly.
"Probably we have to hold on for a while."
Fortunately, Suoshiyang did not arrange the Tears of Heaven fleet too far away. With the help of the jumping ability of the Underworld Light Butterfly, they can soon arrival.
But before that, Soshyan had to deal with this terrible situation on his own.
And that’s not the worst.
Don't forget, this is not the only fleet of Necrontyr.
"Chapter Commander, the enemy fleet that appeared in the south pole of the planet has dismantled all the orbital defense facilities."
The fourth company commander reminded Soshiyang cautiously, and he sighed lightly and looked at the other side. On one side of the screen, he had planned to drag the orbital defense facility to the other side, but obviously this idea was a bit too wishful thinking.
At this time, the orbit of the Forge World was full of debris and broken huge metal structures. A huge thing emerged from it. It was also crescent-shaped, with huge luminous circuits in a semicircle surrounding a central pyramid. Arranged so that the entire spacecraft is more like a giant scimitar, its central pyramid is surrounded by spiers and strange green light. The Necrontyr warships surround them, like insects flying around on corpses. It can be seen that this thing's The size is larger than all the Imperial ships present.
And its engine is also unique. The central pyramid extends towards the stern, expanding into a blazing furnace composed of emerald and crimson flames, an open reactor that injects energy into space. The power erupted from the reactor and turned into a long trajectory, surrounding the huge spaceship. The spacecraft's weapons were filled with its flames, emitting an intense light in the void.
This battleship is so huge and full of power that it is shocking.
Everyone on the bridge was stunned, and Soshyan also squinted his eyes. According to the information provided by Frost Star, this It should be the void craft second only to the World Engine in the Necrontyr fleet, the tomb ship. This kind of warship often serves as the flagship of a Necrontyr main fleet, and is equipped with the most powerful Necrontyr ship-borne weapons, such as giant obelisks. Monument, super arc generator, stellar pulser, giant particle whip and countless Gauss weapon defense turrets. In addition, it is equipped with giant portals that can transport large numbers of troops from ships to the ground, or from Distant tombs teleported to the ship.
In addition, the clowns particularly emphasized a mysterious weapon commonly possessed by tomb ships, a unique spiritual attack weapon with a huge coverage area. Self-aware beings will be horrified by horrific scenes. Paralyzed, losing their minds, and even falling into complete madness, they must rely on the psychic shield of the Eldar to resist.
No matter from any point of view, it is not something that existing human battleships can resist, and I am afraid that neither can battleships.
If he had known that there was such a thing, Soshyan would definitely not have sent a fleet with only White Templars. This was undoubtedly a very profound lesson that made him truly aware of the Necrontyr clan that had started the war in heaven in the past. What a profound background, and I also have a new perspective on the matter of falling out with the King of Silence.
It’s just that the power he currently possesses is far from enough.
++Signal intrusion detected++
At this moment, the bridge's microphone servitor suddenly made a sizzling static noise, like an invisible force. An electromagnetic storm swept across, and at the same time, alarms began to sound everywhere, blocking all fleet communication channels.
++Signal priority protocol invalid++
++The signal cannot be received/blocked++
Just when the mechanical priests were trying to restore communication and were extremely busy, a cold and hoarse, but extremely standard Gothic language came out from the speakers at the same time .
…Maggots…Listen…Conqueror…Death is coming…Surrender. Obey…
“Damn alien bastard!”
Fourth Company Commander Ahaslumeng Di Yi hammered the imaging device and roared angrily:
"How dare you be so provocative! You actually persuaded the Astartes to surrender! Chapter Commander, I request to personally lead the team to fight against their flagship!"
Soshiyang just sneered and looked at the person in charge Priest of Communication Array.
"Can you send the message back?"
"Sir, this may be broadcast globally but I'm not sure"
"Then try."
After saying that, Soshyan picked up the microphone, and at this time the priest also directly turned on the global broadcast.
