The Emperor’s Angel of Death

When the enemy's Dreadnought-class light cruiser lost its power, the frigate formation changed its course to 240 and shot at the enemy ship with concentrated fire. The Dreadnought-class could only float silently, being hit continuously, and the entire bridge and superstructure quickly Consumed by fire, but still afloat.

As a cruiser emphasizing independent combat capability, the Dreadnought class fully demonstrates its defense capabilities.

At this time, it also made a last-ditch effort, and the scanning array of the Arrow found a small high-speed target departing from the enemy ship.

"The enemy jumped torpedo and approached!"

"Scanned 3 Thunderhawk signals!"

As a commonly used combat aircraft of the Astartes Chapter, the Thunderhawk has good performance, but its main function is ground support and transportation. Facing the Lightning specially designed for air combat, its speed and flexibility are still far inferior. Although it is stronger, no matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand a few missiles.

"Order, the Lightning Squadron intercepts the enemy Thunderhawk, and the 1st Bomber Squadron intercepts the enemy's torpedo."

Before that, Chinedu ordered that the missiles of the Starhawk bombers be replaced with air strike missiles against enemy aircraft and small targets. At the same time, the double-linked long-tube laser turrets carried by the Starhawk itself can also effectively attack those jumping torpedoes. Turn quickly and intercept the jumping torpedo with crossfire.

If the battleships it was covering were still there, perhaps this desperate raid would have the possibility of success, but they chose to fight desperately when they were at the end of the road.

Chinedu's evaluation is only two words.

"madness."

At this time, the tail of the Dreadnought-class ship caught fire and continued to explode, and then a big explosion occurred in the middle of the hull, and the entire bridge was blown away in thick smoke.

And those three Thunderhawks were chasing and killing 16 Lightning fighters. Although the laser cannons and automatic guns of the Lightning fighters were difficult to quickly destroy the Thunderhawks in a short period of time, the missiles they fired were much stronger in space than in the atmosphere. It is even more deadly, but it is too difficult for the Thunderhawk to chase down the lightning. The speed and maneuverability of the two are not at the same level at all.

Soon after two Thunderhawks tried their best, they were still hit by missiles. When they exploded, some figures in red armor were thrown into space. Chinedu released the observer and pointed the lens at those A Chaos Space Marine thrown into the void.

They look so profane, so ghastly, and so—

anger.

Even after being thrown into space, they still stubbornly use their bolt guns to shoot at targets that cannot be harmed at all. This is a fallen demigod, struggling like a fish being dragged ashore.

A Lightning flew by, and the cannon fired, instantly sweeping a Chaos Space Marine into pieces of meat and metal that were constantly collapsing and expanding.

As for those jumping torpedoes, none of them actually reached the target. The nearest one was hit by five missiles launched by the Starhawk at the tail and middle at a position 15 kilometers away from the Crossbow. The tragic explosion sent a group of tiny red figures thrown into the void.

In fact, Chinedu really wanted to capture some prisoners, it would be an incomparable honor, but he just thought about it, there is a very clear one in the Navy regulations——

Under no circumstances are Chaos Space Marines in any state, dead or alive, to be taken aboard a ship.

Undoubtedly, this is the rule summed up by countless blood. Even if they are degenerated, they are still Astartes. Even the degeneration itself endows them with some strange and unpredictable powers. Come alive and create a horrific crisis inside the ship.

Therefore, he can only issue one order.

"Destroy all traitors."

Because of the existence of Chaos Space Marines, even the escape pods are no longer safe, and they must be destroyed if they are found.

Just as the nineteenth **** formation was doing its final mop-up work on the battlefield, the distant detectors and subspace probes suddenly sent strong signals, which were immediately captured by the detectors of the Crossbow Arrow.

"Receive all signals and order the fighter plane to return to the deck."

Chinedu came to the imaging device near the thinker array. At this time, the two technical priests were busy, and the analysis data was soon reflected in a specific situation.

In the vast space ahead, a huge signal source appeared, followed by densely packed small signal sources, like a huge sea monster emerging from the deep sea and its countless servants, Chinedu widened his eyes , lips trembling.

"This is."

He has figured out what the signal scans for.

The main fleet of the Red Pirates!

"Formation turn! Heading 180! Break away at full speed! Immediately send a signal to the Moon of Destruction! Red alert signal!!"

Three hours after the nineteenth **** formation clashed with the enemy outpost fleet, the huge space hulk savage crucible appeared in the galaxy observation system of the imperial expeditionary fleet with a scarlet trail, like a savage tumor, There are no rules, no marks, not even a race, as is the impermanent nature of Chaos.

From the scanned outline, we can see a large number of warship wrecks attached to its body. They are like black and ugly metal towers standing upright. Countless turrets and missile launch tubes stretch out into space like raptor claws. In addition, there are many similar flesh and blood The material attached to the surface of the hulk represents its profane demon power, and the black ripples constantly rising around it are the material manifestation of the powerful defensive shield it possesses.

And around it, there are hundreds of ships, from battleships, to cruisers, to plunderers, and even armed civilian ships of various types, like a ship viewing ceremony.

Boarding and decontaminating space hulks that randomly jump out of the warp and float alone in the void is dangerous enough, now, dealing with specially armed hulks accompanied by enemy **** ships is basically an investment A mission that requires an entire expeditionary fleet to have a chance of success.

And what awaits it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is the relic and echo from the most glorious era of the human empire, and it is also the most frightening force in the great expedition.

"There's something odd about this space hulk."

Standing beside Azrael, reviewing the video message with the Supreme Master, the Dark Angel Priest Sappho frowned.

"What power is it driven by? What power makes it succumb to the manipulation of the red pirates? Ten thousand years since the Great Rebellion, the Chapter has dealt with close to three-digit space hulks, but there has never been a power that can truly drives this twisted polymer."

Standing on the ancient bridge of the Indomitable Truth, Azrael was not in a hurry to express his opinion, he was still carefully examining the details of the hulk.

This hulk is so huge, the longest conservative estimate is more than 100 kilometers, just like a mountain range floating in space, only a lunatic can imagine such a mountain range, the red pirate ships around, even the battleships look like Small as a mosquito.
