Chapter 377: Sweeping the Star Sea and Landing on the Planet
"The Greater Good..."
"BOOM!"
Under the pincer attack from both sides, the Tau's Guardian-class battleship was torn into pieces like paper, and a large number of personnel were even sucked into the starry sky through the cracks.
Hundreds of Tau warriors were frozen in time, hovering around the damaged warships like satellites, gradually forming a ring with the waste.
The swaying insect ships pushed them into the silent deep space, and if they were lucky they could drift there forever.
The alien Inquisitor Clark was dressed in armor, pointing the power sword in his hand at the Zerg in the distance. The Imperial fleets that leaped out all accelerated, and nearly a hundred ships of various sizes rushed towards the Zerg like blades of dawn.
The Big Shaper in the bow room of the Battle Sphere Equatorial was dumbfounded. After fighting the Zerg for a long time, it was the first time he saw that one side had more ships than the other.
Why would the human empire make such a huge effort? Is it just to fight against the Zerg and avoid being destroyed?
The Great Shaper did not agree. Moreover, when he saw a dozen warships towing a huge star fortress, he did not believe that humans would do such a feat for the Tau.
Behind the battleships and cruisers were huge metal hinges, each of which was connected to the first quadrant of the star fortress.
Using gravity hooks and physical dragging, the Ramirez-class planetary battle fortress, which was several times larger than the Kroot war ball, crossed the galaxy and reached the territory of the Tau.
The remaining Zerg fleet realized the seriousness of the problem and turned their ships around to attack the navy and battleship ships.
Courage is commendable, but in Judge Clark's words, it is just stupidity.
She didn't even need to use a three-on-one double-teaming tactic. The coalition's eight battleships and 8 large cruisers turned their bows 20 degrees and aimed their most intense firepower at the Zerg.
Inquisitor Clark was as steady as an old dog and did not rush to give the order to shoot. Although the Zerg was already within the fleet's range, at tens of thousands of astronomical units, a slight mistake could lead to a huge error.
In the face of absolute strength, traditional threats are no longer so frightening, not to mention that they have a star fortress behind them.
"Fighting insects, Blue Fish is still too young... Battleships, macro artillery ready, block the enemy's attack route."
"The battleship group has been loaded!"
"emission!"
Hundreds of thousand-ton solid projectiles flew silently. The insect ship units calculated and adjusted the flight vectors in advance and passed by each other five minutes later.
Then the second wave of macro artillery followed, and the Zerg had to continue adjusting, with the third wave in three minutes and the fourth wave in one minute.
When there were only 1000 astronomical units left between the two sides, the hit rate of the Imperial combat ships also reached 100% at this moment.
"Very well, fire at will."
Hundreds of battle barges, battleships, large and small cruisers, destroyers, escorts and all other ships with guns opened fire at the same time.
Torpedoes were flying, cannons were flying, and lances of light were blazing. The swarm of insects could not turn around in time and had to collide head-on with them.
Explosion, breakage, melting, the Zerg finally tasted the power of a battleship.
The void shield engine was stable and not overloaded, and the warp engine was quiet and obedient. The swarm's attack could not even pass through the dense barrage and was intercepted in mid-flight in space.
The Great Shaper seemed to be dreaming, thinking that even if the insect ships were in their heyday and encountered such a powerful imperial fleet, they would probably die with hatred.
The defeat of the Zerg is only a matter of time. What the Great Shaper needs to focus on now is to deal with the Zerg that has landed in the war sphere, but he does not want to deal with them in the starry sky. After all, who knows if the butcher's knife will fall on him in the next second.
The Great Shaper made a rustling sound, and the engine room immediately started the equatorial engine. The two Kroot war balls slowly moved away while the Imperial ships were dealing with the Zerg.
Judge Clark naturally noticed the movements of the two balls. Compared with the Titanium, she was indeed more concerned about the situation of the Kroot. They were obviously a savagely evolved race, but they were able to develop such advanced fighting machines.
The most peculiar thing is that such a huge device can land on the surface of a planet to form a base. It is not impossible for the Imperial ships to do so, but the energy consumption is too huge, which makes it not worth the cost.
"Maybe I can take this opportunity to go in and observe...Alexei, I will take care of the space Zerg fleet, and you send a few teams of killing warriors to Fuyi.Per to look for Lin Heng.
The other regiments should also try to send out one or two teams of personnel, and the think tanks should follow. Once the Zerg in space are eliminated, psychic skills such as divination and prophecy can be used.
The 18th Allied Forces of the Astra Militarum sent three armies to land in Fui.Per. While building defensive positions, they ordered the armored forces to destroy the Zerg biomass pools on the ground as much as possible.
The Navy also dispatched twenty flying squadrons to assist the Astra Militarum in landing operations, exploring the locations of biomass pond branches on the planet and combating the spread of capillary towers and spore chimneys.
Let’s go.”
At Clark's command, the Imperial Alliance began to dispatch several warships. With the help of the battle fleet, they accelerated to bypass the Zerg and headed straight for Fuyi.Po. Basically every regiment sent out personnel, even the Grey Knights were no exception.
As the commander-in-chief of the operation, Clark did not regard Belvis as a competitor. On the contrary, she valued his ideas, although she was silent most of the time.
But she has a unique vision. It is because of her keen observation that she can sit on the position of judge. She can sense that something is wrong with the other party, and that there are old stories hidden in that silence.
"Although the Hive Shadow is also a warp force, there is no need to mobilize all the Grey Knights... You must have some connection with that guy named Lin Heng." Clark said silently.
Belvis folded his arms, looked at the other party with lifeless eyes, and said with his thin gray lips:
"Ah."
Clark nodded as if foreknowledge and continued:
"Even if you didn't tell me, I would know something... Primarch Vulkan, I wish him a safe arrival on Terra. This is the first time I've seen the emotions of the Salamanders fluctuate like this.
Find the original gene body, but the place of return is a million miles away from here. How did Lin Heng get here? What is the judgment that those fire lizards are talking about? Who is this guy?"
"I don't know either...The Grey Knights were unable to see his future clearly." Belvis shook his head.
"Tsk." Clark was silent for a while. "Then let's talk about it when we meet. I want to see what kind of mystery this person has."
The two men watched the warships go away, hoping that nothing would go wrong. However, neither Clark nor Belvis expected that there were more than three forces on the battlefield this time.
The Tyranids, the Human Empire, and the Blue-skinned Sea Fish (Tau) are only visible presences; the Riddler who stays in the shadows has not yet revealed his presence.
In the private room of the captain of the Salamanders' Moon-class Cruiser Company, the leader of this operation, who took off his helmet to reveal his charcoal-like skin, was holding a holographic projection meeting.
It was just that it was not taking place in the command center or the tactical hall, which made it particularly strange, and the images in front of him were all colleagues from other chapters who were previously in the star fortress.
Obsidian Cheetahs, Howling Griffins, Great Sharks, Death Watch and even Extreme Marines all appeared, but except for the company captain Salamander, the others were just ordinary soldiers.
"Pay attention to the Grey Knights' movements. Although we outnumber them several times, they are all high-level psykers and are all wearing special Terminator armor.
Without absolute certainty, it is difficult for us to fight against them. They do not understand our purpose and they will not agree with our methods.
Lin Heng is going back to Terra, but it won't be smooth sailing. Once you find Lin Heng's whereabouts, inform me first. Using the identity of the Salamander will give me a more sufficient reason to get close to him."
"Understood." Everyone said in unison.
“Just a reminder, although Captain Tiberus of the Carcharodon Warband is not here, his successor is in a cabin on the ship. I found this out after asking around.
The ability is unknown, the appearance is unknown, everything is unknown, but since I am said to have inherited the name of the Scarlet Blood Road of Tiberus, I think it is necessary to remind everyone. "Said the Space Marine with a silver-white shark painted on his shoulder armor.
"Very good, Alpharius only believes in himself. We have no so-called allies. Both Chaos and Imperial warriors are part of our plan. Is there anything else we should pay attention to?" said the Salamander Captain.
"Obsidian Cheetah has no focus."
"The Roaring Griffin has no focus."
"Death Watch has no focus."
"Where are the Ultramarines?"
The blue and white Ultramarines were silent for a while, then they pondered:
"It looks like that man is about to reach Macragge."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into a long silence. They all knew who he was referring to - the Lord of Macragge, the Primarch Roboute Guilliman, the murderer of the father of their Legion, the Primarch Alpharius.
"He doesn't seem to know where Lin Heng is. Judging from the intelligence passed on and intercepted by other brothers, the other party attaches great importance to Lin Heng. If he is allowed to get Lin Heng, the Star of Misfortune plan may fail."
The Salamander Captain nodded and said:
"Then let the Word Bearers and the Thousand Sons prepare themselves. We must induce the other side to take action and complete our plan as much as possible."
While everyone was calculating, several warships arrived in the orbit of the home world Fuyi.Per. Without the harassment of large insect ships, the landing operation seemed extremely easy.
Transport ships carrying a large number of interstellar troops and military supplies flew towards the ruins of the ground, and the roar of Thunderhawk fighters demonstrated the power of the Human Empire.
A large number of carrier-based fighters were spewing out of the naval ships, and the Zerg's slightly scattered air units were just targets for the fighters to practice their accuracy.
First, missiles were used to clear the ground of deadly spore plants, and then within two or three hours, hundreds of thousands of Star Army soldiers landed safely.
Officers at all levels issued orders and dispatched their respective troops to start building a defensive offensive to seize the hilltops. The tanks emitting rumbling black smoke crushed the eggplant-sized carnivorous insects.
Hundreds of soldiers marched in rows, using refined promethium flamethrowers to continue burning the already charred ground, and then poured high-speed solidifying cement mixture onto the ground.
Half an hour later, the navy's fighter planes finally landed. The soldiers and servitors each performed their duties and carried out their tasks in an orderly manner.
As the position became more extensive, the scattered swarms of insects began to attack the uninvited guests.
In one night, the three armies lost 20% of their troops and nearly soldiers died tragically in the belly of the insects. However, the good news is that hundreds of square kilometers of land were reclaimed and the transformed land was also purified.
The Tau's forces had been completely concentrated in the city-state, and because the outposts and monitoring stations had basically returned to zero, the news of the Zerg fleet's defeat and the human army's landing was brought by the Kroot War Orb.
In the Ether City-State, two huge war balls crushed the ruins and fell to the ground to form mountains. The Great Shaper described the situation in the starry sky in the command center.
The more An. Lagong listened, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became. He quickly gathered information on the various battlefields.
Except for the Ether City which was not completely destroyed, the other city-states were completely reduced to ruins. The remaining old members gathered all the strength they could to fight against the remaining Zerg swarms.
But now An Lagong no longer has the energy to pay attention to them, simply because the more important Lin Heng has disappeared.
"When did he leave? Wasn't he staying at the testing site the whole time?"
The problem was investigated very quickly. Within half an hour, the video of Lin Luoba leading Lin Heng to the warehouse was uploaded.
A. Lagong became angrier and angrier as he watched, and at this moment he even yelled at Lin Luoba for being stupid in front of everyone.
"Who told him to do this! Doesn't he know how important Lin Heng is! Where is he now? Tell him to come back!
Such a cooperative human psychic is even more important than a certain person in my home world. He dared to let him act freely without my permission. I think he doesn't need to be a commander anymore. Call him Shas? Forget it! (Demoted to an ordinary soldier)"
Everyone was silent, looking at each other, and finally the Tu clan craftsman stepped forward and whispered:
"Commander Lin...Lin Luoba has died."
"Sacrifice? Sacrifice! Sacrifice... How could he... How could he die?! He was Fuyi.Po's most powerful combat suit pilot, and his fame was earned through untold hardships! How could he... How could he die?"
"We immediately headed to the location where the Torrent Combat Suit sounded the alarm, and after analyzing the recorder in the remaining body... you can see for yourself."
The screen was called up, and An. Lagon watched it in silence. He held the scepter tightly to prevent himself from losing his composure, but his confused heart roared.
After a long silence, he looked at the planetary battle map again. He needed to make a choice.
Fight? Not fight? How to fight? The Zerg is gone, but humans are here. Although they helped the Tau to eliminate the Zerg, who knows if it is the mantis catching the cicada while the oriole is behind.
And Lin Heng... Lin Heng... Lin Heng. Even the Torrent Combat Suit couldn't suppress him, so the current Tau forces might not be able to do that, not to mention the large number of Imperial fleets.
Humans, damn humans, is this all an illusion? Is the cooperation just to give us a thunderbolt? Did he call the Zerg? And are the Empire's troops also following his command?
Damn it, damn it!
It’s such a mess, such a mess!
Don't panic, don't panic!
"There is still a chance, there is still a chance. I don't believe my judgment will be wrong!
Gather five mobile squadrons and escort me to the landing sites of the human troops. This is a matter of life and death for Fuyi.Po. If we want to survive, we must bow our heads. "
