Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Bashor's shadowy void orbit.

The wreckage of the destroyed Tau Empire transport ship floated in orbit, forming a small garbage patch.

Countless fragments that had been burned to the point of discoloration and blackness were floating in the cold and cold void.

Sailors in the lower cabins gathered around the portholes, scrambling to watch the wreckage drifting past the side of the Epic.

"Is that the Tau?"

"It's really blue leather."

"Yi, why don't they have noses?"

"It's really ugly and evil. It's a great blasphemy for such an alien to invade the territory of the God-Emperor."

Chef Yin Yuanshan picked up a piece of cloth and wiped the oil stains off his hands, pointing at the alien corpse floating past the porthole window.

He asked the sailor who came to help with the cooking: "Have you seen the 'Y' shape on the foreheads of these aliens?"

The sailors Dingqing took a look and found out that there was a shrunken Y-shaped structure on the forehead of the freeze-dried alien floating in the void, which became dry after being quick-frozen in the cold void.

"That's their respiratory apparatus."

"? How do you, a cook, know that?"

"Hmph." Lao Yin grinned and raised his strong arms with battle scars: "When I was young, I crushed the heads of these aliens. I discovered it after crushing the heads."

A group of sailors who came to help with the cooking were dumbfounded and listened to the chef, who was good at making Cathay dishes, tell his stories about these aliens.

Horatio and a group of officers stood in front of the large glazed window on the command bridge, inspecting the surrounding results.

Those T'au escorts were either destroyed by Space Marine strike cruisers or escaped with wounds.

And there was not a single transport fleet left that they were supposed to protect.

According to the spy follow-up information received by intelligence officer Lina from Lord Elphinstone, this Tau Empire troop transport fleet totaling 11 transport ships, 5 troop transport ships, and 6 equipment carriers was attacked first. Total annihilation of the squadron.

The statistical results confirmed by Horatio and Officer Louise, Chief of Operations.

Epic launched a total of 8 Helios nuclear detonation torpedoes, severely damaging 8 transport ships.

Three of them were completely destroyed by subsequent torpedo strikes from other attack ships. Two equipment transport ships all abandoned the ship at the beginning of the nuclear detonation torpedo attack. The other three were destroyed by macro cannons after being approached by the Epic.

The commander sent a congratulatory message to the Epic, and said that he would help the Epic accurately count these battle results and send them to the expeditionary force headquarters to record the battle achievements.

This battle also gave Horatio a general idea of ​​​​Tau transports and torpedo attacks.

Even a nuclear detonation torpedo cannot blow up the entire battleship at once. It would take at least two rounds to completely destroy it.

However, if torpedoes are fired at the warships, the mid-cargo holds of these warships can be destroyed and the high-value cargo inside can be destroyed. This will not only achieve the effect of breaking ties, but also save torpedoes.

Moreover, the Tau and their slave races on the trade fleet have little willpower to resist. They often seize the time to abandon sail and escape after receiving a fatal blow, instead of seizing the opportunity to repair damage like the Imperial fleet.

"Captain, what should we do with those escape pods?" Louise stood next to Horatio and asked, pointing to the Tau Empire escape pods floating in the void.

"Leave it to the Space Marines, we won't take prisoners, and we won't waste ammunition on it.

Our ship is now on the Basor planet, and the planned channel is in the 310 direction of our ship. After a short supply of supplies, we immediately set sail for the target patrol position. "

The attack ship returned to the planet's orbital star port, and the results achieved by the first attack squadron had spread throughout the expedition force that landed on Basor.

As soon as the Epic returned to the docking station of the star port to complete the docking, it was warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers of the Star Empire.

"Thank you to the Imperial Navy brothers for your help!"

When Horatio and other comrades stepped out of the attack ship, the cheers of the massive phalanx came like a wave.

Horatio straightened his navy hat, raised his white-gloved hand and waved to the Astral officers and soldiers in the phalanx.

They specially brought 21 Hongsheng cannons as a salute.

"Thank you for your well-timed tactical attack, Major." Captain Zhao, whose armor was dusty and stained with blood, solemnly saluted Horatio.

"It looks like there's a lot of fighting on the ground, Captain." Horatio returned the salute.

"Yes, our units have just withdrawn from the front line to resupply and reorganize. If your troops had not attacked the enemy's transport fleet, our front line would have been unable to withstand the battle equipped with XV8 with the small amount of armored troops and light infantry in the early stage of the landing. Conquer the enemy."

"XV8 battle suit?" Horatio raised his eyebrows: "Have you ever captured such equipment?"

"There are no undamaged ones, but there are some that were destroyed and relatively intact."

Horatio looked at Technical Priest Letty not far away.

The two looked at each other, and she already knew what Horatio meant. Letty nodded and smiled in return.

"Well, if it's convenient, can you provide one copy of each of the seized samples to my Technical Priest Voss?"

"No problem, I will arrange for personnel to be sent to your battleship immediately."

"Good work, Captain."

"I'm happy to serve you, Major. I heard that you are carrying out pre-departure supplies, but Bashor is not yet completely under the control of the empire. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to obtain logistical supplies from the planet.

To express your escort and support for the triumphant army.

If you need, we can provide supplies from our Triumphal Army to your warship. I hope that our logistics, which is considered to be of high quality in the entire empire, can help you. "

"Thank you so much." Since his colleagues were so generous, Horatio certainly would not miss the opportunity to go to the logistics warehouse of Zhendan to make a good selection. He was also very curious about the logistics warehouse of the Zhendan people in the universe of the 41st millennium.

Amid the sound of cannons and loud congratulations, the Epic welcomed the last shore supply before patrol hunting.

'Captain, the nuclear detonation torpedoes we consumed can only be replenished from the supply ship, and the number is limited. Should we use short-burning Helios torpedoes to replenish the missing parts?" asked the weapons officer and torpedo officer Fideo.

"No problem. These short-burning Helios torpedoes will be used in the first round of raids. When the enemy ships are slightly aware of the danger, aim at their cargo holds." Horatio signed the acceptance form:

"As long as we successfully destroy the alien cargo supplies, a severely damaged cheap transport ship will have no value to the Tau Empire, and the crew will soon abandon this severely damaged cargo ship. Hit on time."

"Of course, Captain!" Fideo saluted and immediately went to implement the torpedo supply plan signed by the captain.

"Xiaoyao." After the torpedo officer left, Horatio called his accountant.

"Captain, what are your instructions?" An Asian-faced girl wearing a naval civil officer uniform and with her ponytail tied into a bun came over with the Epic account book.

"Call your father, the chief chef of the Epic, and let's go to the supply warehouse of the Zhendan Triumphal Army to see if we can pick some good things to bring to the Epic."

"Qin? Supplies of the Triumphal Army?"

"Yes, this is their reward to us. We will use the things inside to enrich the reserves of the Epic."

"Yes! Captain."
