Chapter 3036 The Abyss Arrives
The 2 battleships and 6 cruisers of the Third Legion were extremely fierce and soon killed the galaxy defense fleet to pieces. More than a hundred ships were destroyed in six hours. During the firefight, it turned into a spinning ruin in space, and the Emperor's Children also sent aircraft to send small groups of jump gangs to those unprotected ships, took control of an additional twenty defense ships, and sent a large number of crew members to To be used as expendable slaves on capital ships.
However, they did not capture those small ships purely for profit.
“My lord, the people of the Third Legion sent a signal, they have a plan——”
“Plan?”
Gul narrowed his dim yellow eyes, opened his big mouth full of protruding fangs slightly, and then shook his huge body wearing a Terminator and took two steps.
"Let me see."
Soon the plan from the Third Legion appeared on the dirty screen. Gur looked at it for a while and nodded.
“Okay, let them take action.”
At this moment, dancing green lightning flashed across the empty void, mixed with bright lines of lasers, and the energy released was In the blink of an eye, it exceeded the speed of torpedoes and artillery shells, slamming the Terminus with devastating force.
The Terminus immediately shook, and then there was a nervous report. Several layers of void shields were penetrated, and two areas were traumatized. The steel was torn, and pus flowed into the void. Fire burns along its decaying hull, but it slowly recovers as long as the blasphemous magic remains.
Gul ignored those damage reports because it was meaningless. It was not that the Avesta had not considered destroying the Terminus first, but this cunning flagship was always under the protection of the main force of the fleet, as if being It is difficult for a lone wolf to deal with the leader of the pack.
The counterattack followed, and the cannons and lances of the plague fleet also lit up one by one. These weapons were imbued with Nurgle's evil magic. If a conventional ship was hit, not only would the armor be broken, but the interior would also be damaged. Deadly viruses began to breed, and it was thanks to this unclean magic that the Plague Fleet became one of the most deadly opponents of the Imperial Navy.
However, most of these blasphemous magics were resolved by the unique energy shield, and the rest only added some small scars.
At this time, the battleships captured by the Emperor's Children began to turn around, forming an assault spearhead, and began to charge towards the orbital facilities of Nathan V from another direction. Their target was also very simple, directly using The hull crashed into orbital defenses, allowing III Legion ships to reach low orbit and release deadly drop pods.
In the space station, the Chaos Space Marines may not have much presence, but as soon as they land, it will be a catastrophe.
The Avesta therefore faced a difficult problem, whether to resist the continued pressure of the Plague Fleet, or to intercept the Third Legion's assault.
Elena stared at the various information flowing on the huge screen on the cold bridge, until an eye-catching logo lit up.
Then her lips curved into a smile.
"It's exactly the same as the response." "Master! A signal source was detected! Unknown ship shape. This——"
Gul moved his huge body and squeezed to the imaging device, staring at a striking red dot appearing on the edge of the battlefield, and then its outline was quickly traced and zoomed in
Looking at this ship The unique trident-shaped giant ship, this long-time veteran seemed to remember something, and suddenly shouted in surprise:
"How is this possible! Is this the Abyss-class!?"
Spitting out red engine flames, the huge battleship stabs the battlefield like an angry trident. It has a silver-plated shell and a huge golden eagle emblem is engraved on the bow, but it is completely different from the imperial battleship. , it does not have a huge macro-cannon array on the side, but there are three huge twin turrets distributed in the front half along the central axis. This is Ulan Huda's finalized black light cannon. This structure makes it consistent with The empire's warships have very obvious differences. As for the secondary weapons, they are mainly lasers, plasmas and railguns. There are relatively few live ammunition weapons, mainly to reduce logistical pressure, because the entire hull is densely distributed with more than 18,000 Auxiliary fully automatic point defense weapons, 2,500 small turrets, 1,100 medium turrets and 300 large turrets, especially in the key fire blind spot area under the hull, Ulan Huda specially designed a separate fire circle.
In addition to its own powerful firepower, the Abyss-class is also surrounded by seven Hearthborn Ranger-class and Warrior-class battleships, and the target they are pointing at is the Third Legion fleet rushing towards Nessen-5.
When they discovered that an Abyss-class ship suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield, the fleet commander of the Third Army was also extremely surprised and immediately made a judgment that if they ignored the launch of the landing, the fleet would probably be in orbit. was severely damaged by the opponent, so for the sake of their own interests, they immediately chose to turn. However, because the captured warships lost their cover, they were immediately hit by orbital defense firepower, and were blown to pieces halfway.
The two battleships took the lead and faced the onrushing Abyss-class battleships. This type of battleship was relatively secretive even among the rebel legions in the past, but everyone has heard of some of them over the years. , but actually seeing the real thing is still shocking.
First of all, it is big, very big, so big that it can make a battleship look like a destroyer.
Then it’s fast. Very different from its size, the Abyss-class’s straight-line speed is very fast. The engine improved by the Furnace technology allows it to go from leaving the subspace to entering the center of the battlefield when the power is fully turned on. It only took less than thirteen minutes, and it was probably one of the fastest ships currently cruising in the physical universe.
The last thing is weird, because its style is completely different from most of the ships currently used by the Human Empire, and more like a product of another era.
But the real wonder comes from its terrifying power.
When the two sides quickly approached, the fleet commander of the Third Army formulated an iron-clamp tactic. Two battleships attacked head-on, and other cruisers flanked them from both sides. This is a very classic and very suitable tactic. Especially against powerful battleships.
But just when the Third Army's fleet was deployed, the Abyss-class radar and fire control system completed the locking and shooting path, and then the six black light cannons on the spine fired a salvo.
In an instant, the light in the entire space seemed to be absorbed. Even on the bridge of the Third Legion battleship, all the equipment seemed to dim for a microsecond, followed by five precise strikes among the six dark matter beams. Hit the Emperor-class battleship Absolute Perfection.
The thick void shield collapsed layer by layer like a piece of paper pierced by a sharp blade, and then its armor seemed to be severely "digged" by something. A shield with a diameter of more than two hundred meters and a depth of more than 200 meters appeared in the middle and tail of the ship. A huge crater of 100 meters, a large amount of gas, metal fragments and unlucky crew members sprayed out from the gap in the ship.
