Traveling through the Warhammer world, but I didn’t cry.

After talking about the Chaos Army, we also need to talk about the deployment of the Imperial Fleet. Through the combined efforts of spies and sorcery, Drao knew about the fleet deployed by the Empire in Cadia.

The Cadian fleet consists of 12 battleships, 12 cruiser squadrons, and 21 frigate squadrons.

The Corona Fleet consists of 7 battleships, 13 cruiser squadrons, and 17 frigate squadrons.

The Gothic Fleet consisted of 5 battleships, 9 cruiser squadrons, and 13 frigate squadrons.

The Space Marine fleet consists of 21 strike barges, 150 strike cruisers, and 200 frigate squadrons.

The number of the remaining imperial fleets is unknown, but in total the number should not be too small, but they will definitely be at a numerical disadvantage in front of the Chaos army supported by demons and degenerates.

Regardless of hard power, Abaddon's time to launch an attack was quite good. Drau was initially very dissatisfied with Abaddon's sudden change of battle plan, and also scorned the unorganized and undisciplined behavior of the Khorne warband's unauthorized departure.

But when he followed the large army to the portal of the Eye of Terror, the fortress world of Cadia, he suddenly realized that his judgment about Abaddon was very wrong.

At that time, Cadia was shrouded in pure darkness, and the empire's huge fleet gathered in this area was flying up and down like headless flies in the energy turbulence of the Black Stone Spire. They relied entirely on the captain's rich experience and the blessing of the Corpse Emperor to survive. A large-scale serial collision was avoided.

Warmaster Abaddon must have discovered that something was about to happen to Cadia, so he suddenly changed his battle plan and chose to launch a surprise attack on the Imperial fleet before the warp storm witchcraft was cast.

Although in the eyes of some idiots who believe in Khorne and have their brains replaced by muscles, Abaddon's behavior is a complete villain's behavior that takes advantage of others, but Drao does not think so.

Taking into account all factors on the battlefield is part of combat, so don't play if you don't feel comfortable with it. The Imperial Army should have realized that those Blackstone Spires could not be trusted and made preparations in advance.

But Delau also thought that the imperial army might be prepared, otherwise how could the out-of-control energy flow of the Black Stone Spire form an insurmountable chasm on Cadia, and the imperial army that should have been defeated long ago happened to occupy it. All locations that are easy to defend and difficult to attack?

The battle on the ground has reached a stalemate, and the situation in the void is not as smooth as Abaddon said. The Imperial fleet did suffer a lot of losses in Abaddon's surprise attack, but they built a strong defense line with the Dark Angels' monolithic fortress as the core.

The battle in the void was extremely cruel. Many troops who were full of fighting enthusiasm even had the opportunity to board the torpedoes but were snatched away by the powerful macro guns and light spears of the battleships.

DeLao likes to watch space battles, but he doesn't like to fight them. The feeling of powerlessness of small ships when facing giant beasts is real, and the combat deployment is no different from a ball of waste paper. Delau prefers to look for opportunities in the trenches and terrain on the ground, defeating all enemies in subtle ways, rather than sitting in a huge and glorious battleship, boringly and mechanically ordering ship cannons to fire, and then watching the enemy explode into a ball of fireworks.

That's so boring.

Cannonballs, torpedoes, and light spears filled the void. Abaddon realized that the Imperial fleet was not as vulnerable as he had expected, so he slowed down the siege of the Imperial fleet and waited for the activation of the Warp Storm sorcery. The Imperial Fleet also took advantage of this precious respite to try its best to restore the battleship's systems and mechanical equipment that had been affected by the inexplicable turbulence.

Finally, the witchcraft was activated, and a subspace storm was generated from the depths of the Eye of Terror, and rushed towards Cadia. The Chaos Fleet, which has been in the Chaos Realm for a long time, has quite mature methods of dealing with this terrifying storm, but for the Imperial Fleet, which relies on Geller's position to travel through the subspace, this storm is enough to kill them.

The storm instilled countless blasphemous thoughts and twisted ideas into the fragile brains and bodies of mortals. While the Imperial fleet dealt with the endless stream of Chaos traitors in the battleships, it also needed to defend Abaddon's next onslaught.

During this period, in order to reduce losses and facilitate the future attack on Terra, Abaddon put all the more than thirty degraded void stations just produced by the Dark Mechanicum on the battlefield. These degraded void stations not only have powerful firepower, but they are also a shipyard. He was like a Tyranid hive ship, continuously spitting out twisted and unspeakable flying objects from its holes.

These degraded floating objects have no long-range attack capabilities, but they are very fast. Neither the Empire nor the Chaos void fighters can match the speed and flexibility of these floating objects.

These floating objects will ignore the web of fire in front of them and hit the outer shell of the Imperial warship at full speed like a meteorite. The Empire's void shield is completely unable to stop the approach of these things, and can only rely on anti-aircraft guns and Imperial fighter jets for defense.

When more and more of these floating objects hit the outer shell of the imperial warship, the floating objects will connect together, affecting the maneuverability of the warship like barnacles. What's even more frightening is that when these floating objects accumulate larger and larger, they will begin to grind the outer shell of the battleship until they create a hole leading to the interior. Then they will learn to degrade the Void Station to create lower-level degradation bugs.

Degenerate bugs are like lampreys made of bones. They are about the size and thickness of a mortal arm. They can crawl and float, but they can only stay at a height of about 50cm from a flat surface. Under the sharp teeth that can grind steel is a black hole that can never be filled. Their number far exceeds that of the Degenerates, but they are also more fragile and brainless. A laser cannon set up in a narrow corridor can stop thousands of Degenerates. attack.

When a battleship is killed by degenerate bugs, these degenerate bugs that cannot find any living creatures will disintegrate after a few hours and become powder accumulated in every corner of the battleship, as well as the long-awaited aggregate of degenerated floating objects outside the battleship. He slowly poured in, assimilating this unmanned battleship into a part of his body, and then continued to look for the next battleship full of living creatures.

This powerful ability to assimilate infection frightened Delau. He had never seen this ability in the Tyranid swarm, which is known for its efficient evolution. Since these degraded floating objects can assimilate Imperial warships, it is not difficult to assimilate Chaos warships.

Drau was naturally not the only one with such nervousness. Many leaders of Chaos warbands asked Abaddon a lot of questions after seeing the ability to degrade floating objects.

To this, Abaddon simply replied to them, "These degenerates are just tools. We hold the key to activate and deactivate them."
