Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 287 05.0286: ‘Recapture the Beacon’

Under the command of the armed command, Louise commanded the various assault teams to systematically clear the aliens entrenched in the giant structure.

In the images currently transmitted back by the camera, Horatio only saw the fart spirits.

Although they held strange-shaped, crudely made objects that resembled the ‘Liberator’ pistols of World War II.

With their blind accuracy, they did cause some casualties to the armed forces, but in general, the battle was one-sided, and these fart spirits collapsed at the first touch of the navy.

The team led by Louise came to the main control console, which was stinking. The original various operating tables were all destroyed beyond recognition, and solid and semi-solid filth were everywhere, as if they were swallowed by a vast ocean of feces.

Human bones can be seen in these wreckages.

"We have arrived at the control room and are restoring the beacon control."

With the help of the servoskull, Louise ensured that the control console was back under the control of the Empire. The doors of the cabins no longer needed to be forcibly broken open by the armed forces. Officers and soldiers could enter directly after verification.

"It's too quiet, Louise, Farida, stay alert. Simple fart spirits will not produce so many rows of relics." After the control console was restored, Horatio controlled all the closed-circuit televisions inside the megastructure that were still functioning normally. He looked at the hundreds of CRT split screens in front of him, which were lit by white candlelight, and said thoughtfully.

Farida held the power sword tightly and guarded the surroundings.

"Waaaaaaaaaagh!!"

Suddenly, a powerful roar came from nowhere.

Bang!

The heavy ceramic steel door at the end of the corridor was kicked open, and a group of fully armed green-skinned orcs rushed over waving various weapons.

They were wearing steel armor made of various things. Judging from the complexity of these things, it would take a long time to assemble them. No wonder these big guys were not seen just now.

"Fight line! Hold the battle line!" Farida raised her sword and looked at the monsters rushing over. They were nearly 2.5 meters tall, with muscular bodies. They were estimated to be at least 200 kilograms. At first glance, they were taller than space marines.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A group of such big guys rushed over, as if the whole deck was shaking.

"You shrimps! You are running wild on our territory! Waaagh! Come on! I want to kill these blue shrimps for a snack!"

The formation of the naval armed forces remained stable.

Like Louise, they had already undergone specialized training against green-skinned orcs in the psychic training room.

"Fire!"

For a moment, various bullets were fired at the orcs.

Lasers are not very effective against these orcs who are covered in ceramic steel armor plates and have thick skin and flesh. These armor plates come from the naval garrison that once guarded this beacon.

But real ammunition weapons such as naval bolters can have a good effect.

Louise pulled the trigger of the naval bolter rifle, and the orc who rushed towards her was hit in the head by her, but even with half of his skull gone, it was still roaring and sprinting.

It didn't stop until its upper body was completely smashed.

But the orcs behind it were approaching at this time.

The shield guards picked up the jump shield and walked to the front of the queue in time.

These orcs picked up the crude machine guns in their hands and fired randomly while continuing to advance.

At this distance, even if the orcs' blind firing had a hit rate of less than half, the large-caliber bullets like water splashing made the shield guards retreat continuously, and some armed sailors behind them had to help them hold up the bumpy shields.

Bullets and stray arrows flew everywhere in the narrow corridor. Many people were splashed by fragments and were slightly injured, but they could still continue to fight.

The orcs were very interested in the bolt rifles equipped in large quantities by this task force. They also knew that not everyone had such a powerful and waaagh toy.

These people must be elite and must be quite good at fighting. It must be more useful to grab the things in their hands!

In their fanatical thinking, the greenskins screamed and launched a more fierce charge.

"Retreat! Retreat! We need support!"

"Captain, the task force was attacked fiercely by the greenskin orcs."

"Let each ship continue to send out detachments, all equipped with bolt rifles and revolving cannons. Let these aliens see that we are not just poor laser guns."

The cruisers and light cruisers of the 25th Fleet began to mobilize armed forces. Within 15 minutes, the first batch of task forces that had been prepared rushed to the beacon megastructure on shark assault boats.

For a time, the entire megastructure was filled with gunfire.

"Steady alternating fire. First row! Fire!"

After the squad led by Louise retreated to a relatively safe distance and stabilized their position, they raised their swords and shouted to command the line to fire.

This is an overly classical tactic, but in the 41st millennium, the Imperial Army still accepts line training for their own reasons.

When facing a vast sea of ​​gestalt creatures such as greenskins and Tyranids, once the shooting is chaotic and morale cannot be maintained, the battle line collapses, and the mortal troops will only suffer a catastrophe when facing an enemy with an absolute numerical advantage.

And the line allows mortal soldiers to form a human-shaped wall with great courage to block the advance of the greenskins and Tyranids. At the same time, officers command soldiers to fire alternately, which can maximize the output of firepower and the continuity of firepower. Each volley can also continuously boost the morale of the soldiers in the line.

All the armed sailors equipped with laser guns withdrew to the rear to protect the team from being attacked by the behind-the-scenes goblins.

The laser gun cannot hit the armored orcs, but it is more than enough to hit these unarmored bastards.

The armed sailors on the front are all equipped with naval bolt rifles and sword bayonets.

This bolt rifle has some similarities to the Godwin Diaz bolter of the Battle Sisters, but has a longer barrel, somewhat similar to the underwater rifle of the 3K era.

If necessary, the sailors can also draw out their daggers and bayonets to engage in desperate combat with these big guys.

Buzz! Puff puff puff puff!

The communications department led by Horatio quickly locked the location of the call signal.

Under precise intelligence support and guidance, the second batch of armed gang jumping teams came to support the battle line in time from the assault boats that smashed into the giant structure.

This group of troops was fully equipped with bolters and rotating cannons, and used extremely ferocious live ammunition firepower to suppress the orcs' charge.

"These shrimp's big guns are so powerful! They are not ordinary shrimps!"

The orcs shouted, and even these stupid creatures would feel fear under the fierce explosions.

Fear of dying in an uneconomical battle and losing the opportunity to participate in a bigger and more powerful Waaaaghh in the future to win the favor of Brother Mao.

"First row, get up and push forward!" Louise stood between the first and second rows and shouted.

The armed forces quickly recovered from their initial unpreparedness and began to counterattack in depth.

The fierce exchange of live ammunition made the steel plates inside the building bang, and the flying fragments and arrows were like deadly arrows.

The further inside you go, the more disgusting feces you see around you.

"Louise, let the engineering troops burn these feces. There are spores in them. If they are not properly processed, new green skins will continue to be produced in the giant structure. By then, if we want to maintain the control area of ​​this beacon, we will have to A large number of armed troops need to be deployed for garrison.

We don't have that many manpower left here. "

Horatio saw clusters of pointed cone-shaped mushrooms growing on the feces through the probe display, like park lights emitting a dim green light.

Soon, Leidos, who worked in the Engineering Department, led a damage control task force, carrying a flamethrower and carefully burning the feces covered with fungal spores in the room.

While they were cleaning up, they also had to control the fire to ensure they didn't burn down the entire building, so their equipment included both flamethrowers and firefighting foam.

This is a job that tests your patience and skills.

You can burn it, but you don’t want to burn it randomly. The Navy is much more cautious in its use of fire than the Imperial Guard.

After a hard fight with the savage aliens for 3 Terra hours.

"Each unit reports on the cleanup status."

"The lower part is clean."

“Clean in central area”

"The top is clean."

"Squad 7, plant explosives to destroy the target alien creation."

Soon, there was a bang, and the entire giant structure trembled slightly again.

"Captain, the alien surveillance post has been confirmed to be destroyed, and the armed forces are waiting for instructions on the next step." After receiving the report from Louise, Horatio asked the captain for instructions.

"Let 200 people stay on the 'Lord of Daros' to garrison and check the safety of the surrounding airspace, while the others return to each ship." Captain Edward Peru ordered.

"Sir, there are unknown objects floating in the void in the distance... It seems... not meteorites..." The observation officer sent a signal from the highest tower.

The officer was stunned, especially when he personally observed the black fragments floating in the void through optical observation equipment: "I think those are ship fragments and wreckage."

"The observation results are confirmed? How could the shipwreck be broken into such small pieces?" Captain Peru picked up the monocular lookout, and the mechanical device inside helped him capture a picture of an 'asteroid', and he immediately sent it A suspicious voice.

The Imperial Navy helm emblem on the fragment is clearly visible, and its color is exactly the green color of Karl Dunyash, the headquarters fleet of the Ultimate Star Territory.

"Captain, we also discovered the wreckage of the Chaos rebel ship in the void. The rebels also suffered heavy losses here."

"Your Majesty the God Emperor, have these aliens expanded to this extent? Lieutenant Horatio, please send a telegram to the frigates to launch an investigation." Commodore Peru ordered.

"The frigate squadron immediately spread out in a star-shaped battle formation to provide peripheral reconnaissance for the Indefatigable." Horatio issued a deployment order to the two frigate squadrons.

"Frigate received."

The eight frigates immediately dispersed in an eight-pointed star shape.

Protect the larger ships in the fleet in the center.

Horatio continued to listen to the void signal, trying to see if he could intercept the enemy ship's communication.

Suddenly, the signal bird array in front of him received a weak distress message.
