Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

"Kan#Bong! A hostile torpedo was found on the right side of our ship!"

"Countdown to 5! 4!"

"Steering! Activate pulse assist steering immediately!"

The bat-shaped hull tried its best to turn on the side steering and afterburner, but the bat wings were too long. Even if she tried to avoid it, the slender wing-like structure still hit the short-burning torpedo that was speeding at high speed.

A burst of fire exploded, and the high temperature and impact force from the star instantly tore apart the structure of the hit wing and the steering propulsion device on it.

Due to the failure to destroy the core part, the heavily damaged Castle Lord-class escort aircraft still did not completely lose its combat effectiveness. Now the frigate is like a fish whose pectoral fins have been bitten off. Although it is still flapping, it can only make a last-ditch effort.

"Torpedo No. 4 is warmed up!"

"emission!"

Whoosh!

The "bat" tried its best to avoid the first "harpoon" hitting its vital points, but its fins were injured. Facing the second one thrown by Horatio, it could no longer recover.

"Hurry! When will the surrounding cruisers come!" The Tau captain was already a little incoherent, and his voice was raised a lot.

"We have sent a signal before, but the communicator still has not received a reply!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ship's body shook violently.

Another nearly 100-meter-long plasma torpedo hit the center of the ship. The irregular ridges expanded all the way from the ridge, tearing apart everything in its path. It was like an inverted thunder pool, and dazzling plasma poured into the ship, violently blocking everything. Melt or even evaporate.

When the plasma was poured into the engine power compartment, the crew members inside were still scrambling to escape, but their legs could not escape the heat flow.

They were swept away in an instant, devoured, and rolled painfully in the heat, their flesh and blood burned into piles of white bones.

Finally, it turns into calcium and blends with the surrounding molten iron.

The heart-rending screams did not last long.

The plasma reactor emitted a piercing and shrill alarm, and the high temperature triggered the reactor failure alarm, but at this time there was no living creature in the cabin that could deal with these failures.

The next moment, blue light leaked from the ruptured reactor, and a pure white photon-level explosion instantly exploded the entire ship body, sending thousands of fragments scattering around.

The Epic had to lower its plane, aim its head at the explosion point, and reduce the frontal projection to reduce the probability of being hit.

The crisis was over, and everyone on the bridge breathed a sigh of relief.

Four attack ships slowly sailed towards the trapped attack ship E-110.

Even in the gas cloud, its shadow field was flickering and fluctuating to a degree visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that the damage was so serious that it could no longer carry out the subsequent cruise operations.

"This is E-96, Epic, and I'm the captain, Major Horatio Cochrane."

When Horatio's voice came from the speakers of the E-110 attack ship, the people who were still alive looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe this was reality. When they heard the voice of the bloody heir of this Gothic legend again, the survivors who had already survived the disaster were immediately excited, cheering for escaping the disaster, cheering for the Gothic fleet, and cheering for the young major.

"Major, it's our honor to meet you." The surviving officer reported in front of the communicator with sweating profusely.

"Can the ship still sail?"

"The propellers were damaged and it was unable to perform maneuvers and could only sail at half its cruise speed."

"Very good, we will cover your evacuation. Take action immediately, the surrounding enemies are still searching for us."

After watching, Horatio turned around and issued another order to destroy all the Tau Empire's escape pods, leaving no survivors. At the same time, a second strike was carried out on the bridge wreckage to avoid leaving any clues to the Tau Empire.

Two days later, a Tau Empire patrol fleet arrived at the scene of the encirclement and suppression.

But this place is already full of devastation.

There was no expected scene of one's own warships seizing the Empire's new attack ship, nor were the Empire's cipher machines and code books seized.

All they saw was a charred and broken wreckage. As usual, there were no survivors, and all the escape pods had been viciously destroyed.

It can be seen that the hands-on imperial commander did a good job in handling the aftermath.

But this time, the Tau Empire did not gain nothing.

The maintenance drones recovered and restored some data from one of the damaged memories and performed intelligence interpretation.

Finally, a video of the destroyer encircling and suppressing the E-110 attack ship was reproduced.

It recorded the outline of the E-110 attack ship under the fluctuation of the shadow field.

According to the judgment of Tu clan researchers, this is different from any warship known to the empire. It is likely to be a new type of warship that can be invisible.

As for this stealth technology, it shocked the Earth clan engineering researchers in the Tau Empire.

Because they have also done some research on stealth field technology, and the stealth combat suit is the result, but they have not yet overcome the technical difficulties of the ship's stealth field.

This means that so far, the Tau Empire does not have any ship with stealth capabilities that can be used by the break-up fleet.

Fortunately now, the human empire actually has a stealth warship in advance.

How did the decadent and rigid human empire achieve this technology?

Thinking of this, the researchers of the Tu clan couldn't help but shudder.

Although this decadent and rigid "human empire" has a long history, how much wealth does it hide that has not yet been revealed?

Could it be that the one who has been fighting against him for so long is just a small border defense force of the Human Empire? A drop in the ocean?

"Thank you for your escort. Without you, the consequences would be unimaginable." In the holographic projector, E-110

The officer on board thanked him.

"We can only escort you here. Be careful on the way back."

"Thank you! Thank you, Major! The Baka Fleet will remember the help of the brothers of the Gothic Fleet."

As E-110's engine drove away with intermittent flashes of fire, Horatio finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as he lowered his head, Lina's indifferent voice came over again.

"Captain, received the encrypted signal from the attack ship E-47."

"Please report, intelligence officer." He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"In the AP36 area, a large cargo fleet was discovered, moving from northeast to southwest at a speed of 8 void knots. It is estimated that there are about 20-30 ships."

The communication was very brief. It did not explain where the cargo fleet came from or where it was going. Instead, it briefly explained the hunting area where they were located, the size of the prey, the direction of the route, and the estimated speed. The estimated number of several key parameters prevents the intelligence from being eavesdropped.

At present, thanks to the successful rescue operation, the E-type assault ship has not been officially discovered by the Tau Empire's senior officials and attracted enough attention. Therefore, there is only one reason for the Tau Empire to form a merchant fleet at this time: a big war is about to begin in an important theater. .

"Navigation office, draw an interception route."

"Yes! The estimated distance from our ship is 154,300 kilometers from direction 41! The estimated sailing time at cruising speed is five Terra days."

"Very good." Horatio licked his lips with the tip of his tongue eagerly and moved his wrist.

"Miss Intelligence Officer," he smiled, with the excitement of finding his prey in his smile.

"Assemble all attack ships that can arrive, sail silently, gather in the AP36 area to surround the target, and wait for my attack signal."

"Understood, Captain."

Horatio sat comfortably on the command throne.

"What an excruciating five Terran days," he exclaimed.

"You look very excited, Captain." The beautiful member of the Military Supervisory Committee with golden curly hair walked over with steady steps and a soft smile on his lips.

"A hunting feast is about to begin. Commissioner, it's time to be loyal to the God Emperor."

"Congratulations, we will catch all the aliens in one fell swoop. I wish you and the First Squadron a successful start.

"Thank you, Farida. You have worked hard during this period. It is not an easy task to boost the morale of the crew and to improve the discipline of the new crew."

She chuckled and walked forward: "No, you are the one who has had the hardest time during this time."

Her slender hands with silk gloves pressed on his shoulders, helping him loosen his stiff muscles.

This technique was learned from Thei, and she couldn't wait to use it as soon as she learned it.

"So tonight——"

She had just finished speaking when an uncomfortable nauseating feeling suddenly surged from her abdomen to her throat.

"Ugh." She lowered her head and quickly covered her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Horatio immediately noticed something strange about Farida.

The female military supervisor frowned, and the uncomfortable feeling disappeared again.

"It's nothing, Captain. I'm sorry. It may be that my diet and sleep schedule are not very good recently. It's not an important matter." Don't force yourself too much. This time, just take some rest first. "Originally, Horatio and Farida made an appointment to change duty at the same time and have a good intimacy.

"I'm completely fine and can go on duty as normal. So I'm asking you now if you want to go to the official hall for dinner together."

They couldn't say anything too explicit while on duty, so Farida just turned her pretty face sideways, her lips shining with glaze, and showed a decent smile: "Then we can relax together."

"I'm happy to accompany you." There is a tacit understanding between the two, and Horatio's performance should be fine.

Only then did he feel relieved and readily agreed.
