Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

The dim light shines on the rounded wooden handle. The long pole passes through the slot and is deeply fixed on the huge rudder. Ironically, since the current way of human navigation is carried out by using the rudder, Just like those sailing ships in ancient times, but don't underestimate this. This ancient invention is often simpler and more reliable than pure technology.

And besides, not just anyone can be a helmsman. He often needs to serve in the navy for many years, and often has experience as a captain or first mate. Later, when his brain fails to work well in old age, he takes a back seat. , holding the equally important helmsman position.

Old Kent is an experienced helmsman. He served on a destroyer in his early years, and later on many battleships. Later, due to some problems, he was almost shot by the Navy as an officer. Fortunately, Vito rescued him in time. He then served as the helmsman of the Infinite Frontier.

After the new Indomitus Crusade began, Old Kent left the Infinite Frontier and was promoted to the chief helmsman of the battleship Emperor's Light. Yes, that ship had more than one helmsman, but Old Kent was still the well-deserved chief helmsman. His rich experience and full practical experience allow him to deal with various emergencies, so now he has returned to the Infinite Frontier to serve as the leader of this dangerous and crazy adventure.

Old Kent is no stranger to dangerous adventures. Anyone who has served under Vito for many years will be as familiar with rushing into an enemy encirclement as eating cheese. However, often this kind of thing is done by Vito or at least Cote. You are responsible, but now, it is not them, but Anna.

Kent looked back. Anna was sitting on the captain's chair high up. The captain's neural modification had been carried out on the back of her head. A wide slot appeared on the back of her head, where a thick tube was connected. The data connection tube is connected to the captain's position behind her, allowing her to operate the battleship through neural data flow.

She has long been at the controls of this familiar giant ship. She has always known her well. She used to serve as the first mate of the Infinite Frontier, and now, she has finally been promoted to captain, and she is not an ordinary captain.

Anna's eyes were flashing with little rays of light. The arc on the eyeball was because one of her eyes had long been mechanized. The prosthetic eye collected numerous data information of the battleship in front of her eyes through the connecting tube at the back of her head, allowing her to She checked every corner of the Infinite Frontier, just like seeing if her fingers could move normally.

"We are about to reach the jump point, Kent, prepare to jump out." Anna ordered from a high place. Her finger clicked on the display beside the captain's command chair in front of her. Kent nodded and turned around to hold his hand. Tighten the rudder, "Approaching Mandeville Point, jump preparation, countdown, 3, 2, 1, jump."

Old Kent skillfully pulled down multiple levers on the side, and the computer servants installed on the base under the rudder groaned. They shook their heads and uttered an incomprehensible chaotic language of 0s and 1s. , they chanted, and soon a scanned image of the stars appeared in front of Anna's eyes.

She raised her hand, and the thoughts in her mind were instantly transmitted to the battleship. The data cable allowed the meditator to understand her thoughts in the blink of an eye. The closed windows of the subspace jump outside the bridge were all raised, and the dazzling starlight immediately shot out. Entering the ship, but outside, it is not a beautiful picture. It is a ruins, a cemetery of battleships.

A large number of Imperial Navy battleships, as well as the rough giant ships of the barbarian orcs, are all suspended outside. They are like soulless bodies, drifting with the tide outside the Infinite Frontier. Maybe they will drift for a long time until they are captured by the gravity of a certain planet. , or melt into the sun, but Anna doesn't want to go with them to see those possible results.

"Kent, pull up the ship." "Understood, Captain, we are about to do it." Old Kent said, pulling down the joystick next to his hand, and then gently pushing the propulsion rod in front of him upward, and the computer servants There was a conversation between each other that only the Adeptus Mechanicus could understand. Following the words, the battleship's terminal propulsion engine fired downwards, allowing the battleship to rise from the floating wreckage.

The void shield kept colliding with the surrounding wreckage, and the shining light kept lighting up the surface of the ship. Fortunately, this did not last long. After a moment of red light at the impact point in Anna's eyes, they were already separated. The group of wreckage came to the astrolabe above and sailed.

Here, the design of the rudder shows admirable foresight. On a single plane, the ancient rudder is far more reliable than those complex operating senses or electronic programs. Old Kent shakes the rudder, and the entire battleship Then he turned, sailed, and avoided the wreckage of the larger green skins.

The Infinite Frontier sailed past a huge green-skinned and bone-based battleship. Anna looked towards it. The scanning interface of the battleship was displayed in her field of vision. Her eyes had already merged with the Mars-class battlecruiser. Its advanced instruments turned into Anna's senses, allowing her to better feel everything around her.

In front of her eyes, scanning light waves slid across the surface of the green-skinned battleship. There were no living people inside, and the entire battleship had turned into a cold tomb. And beside it, among the surrounding battleships, they were all the same. , here is a graveyard of ships and the graves of their members.

Anna squinted slightly and scanned everything around her, but as I said, her field of vision was different now. She could see many invisible things through the battleship, such as a jump signal.

The scan of the battleship quickly emerged there, and multiple systems intertwined and converged there, quickly showing that thing among them, more than one, it was many huge shadows, emerging from a chaotic energy position, it was not Ya The waves in space are some kind of more ferocious, wild, and uncontrollable force.

"There's a jump signal behind us. It's the enemy, Kent! Dive down!" "Copy that, everyone, sit still!" Old Kent yelled, quickly pulling down the pull rod on the side that was originally pushed up, and he let go of the rudder. , his hands clicked and pulled quickly on the surrounding operating tables, and many levers and switches were all activated. The operating current they released concentratedly made the computer servants scream.

The voices of the servitors sang at the same time. In the chaotic current, their heads covered with metal masks shook violently in all directions. Indistinct words came from behind the hoses inserted into their faces. The lights flashed crazily. The base stations around them It kept beating, but in an instant, their voices entered the brain of the battleship's meditator, and it began to react.

The Infinite Frontier's propulsion engine redirected, and the six huge jet nozzles at the end turned upward to protrude huge vector fires. The smaller, but more densely packed reverse thrusters installed on the back of the ship also all lit up. Bright tongues of flame were like numerous volcanoes erupting from the back of the ship.

The Mars-class battle cruiser immediately dived down quickly. Its huge impact pressed against the inside of the hull, making many people unsteady. However, Old Kent still stood firmly behind the rudder and operated in front of him. The rudder of the ship dived downwards. He turned the rudder violently to avoid the wreckage blocking the road. Then he released his hands and pulled down the ignition gates on both sides at the same time. As they hit the ends, the entire battleship stopped.

Anna stood up from the captain's chair. She unplugged the cannula from the back of her head and let it rest casually beside the captain's chair. "The whole ship is silent and all power is turned off."

Anna's words were immediately implemented. The members on the bridge quickly clicked on the instruments in front of them, swiping and pulling the gates. As they operated, the entire bridge gradually dimmed, and the entire battleship was extinguished. All the lights in the corridor floated among the dark wreckage.

Anna raised her head. She used her own eyes to see the warships passing above from a human perspective. They were huge ships. Their structures were completely inconsistent with the most basic common sense of mechanics and construction. They were more like some kind of warships. A crude, chaotic thing created by a mad inventor.

But unlike real chaos, there are no tentacles, living structures, or crawling disgusting giants growing on its surface, and there is no eight-pointed star. In its place, instead, is a head, an ugly but... Roaring giant.

Those warships are more like space junk. Each ship is completely different. The position of their guns, hatches and thrusters all seem to be random, as if they were decided on the spur of the moment by the engineers who built them. Many of the designs are very inconsistent. Reasonable, like thrusters, but they can actually fly.

Anna looked at those giant ships. They were passing above the wreckage. Exaggerated buildings were built on the huge hulls. Within those fortress-like walls, each angle was different, and the thrust direction even had opposite jet ports. It was spitting out fierce flames, allowing those huge ship hulls to slowly pass by.

The firelight illuminated Anna's face. She and the crew watched the giant beasts passing by. It was like a migration of giant beasts in the starry sky, looking for breeding grounds, food, and other things. Anna looked at them and quickly found some unique battleships among the giant beasts.

They are not equipped with large-caliber or exaggerated artillery, but their bodies are even larger. But what is equally unique is that most parts of their bodies are tied up with iron chains, like a circle surrounding them. The ice floes around the iceberg are all roughly welded one by one, but the huge transport cabins are so numerous that the long spacecraft dragging them forward occupy the space. The location of most of the herd.

Those chains floated in the universe, causing the long cargo bay to swing behind them, as if a group of giant octopuses in the universe were passing above the Infinite Frontier. Their huge size forced them to install more exaggerated thrusters.

Kent looked at the huge fleet passing above his head. They did not stay for too long. Soon, they flew towards the shining light at the end of the debris group in the distance. It was a desolate planet on the background of the bright stars. Its surface exuded The desolate earth-yellow light was blocked by the wreckage, and only a little halo came out to prove that it was indeed there.

The beast herd giant ships are flying there, and in the starry sky there, there are more giant ships, and more starry sky octopus transport ships made of iron chains, projecting huge black shadows on the surface of the planet. .

"Restart the battleship system, Kent, and push forward a little further to the edge of the wreckage area." "Understood, Captain." "Yeta, you can only walk the rest of the way on your own."
