Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes.

Chapter 216 Persevere, and the arrival of reinforcements

The battle started again at this moment, and at the same time, there was a long-planned hunt on Marus' orbit.

The silver body of the Revenant Redeemer had reached the limit range of the Nova Cannon at this time, and with the bow battery in place, Tabers decisively gave the order to allow firing.

Two extremely dazzling lights suddenly lit up on the bow of the Revenant Redeemer, and then turned into two beams of light across space, pointing to the chaotic battleship that was cruising synchronously on the track guarding Hive Capital No. 22 on the surface.

"Enemy attack!"

The crew in charge of the lookout stared at the void shield that had begun to make waves outside the battleship and shouted in fear.

But before there was any reaction from the bridge on the other side of the communicator, the two nova cannons of the second round flashed again in the next second, and then shot at them.

This is the strongest firepower attack below the battleship, because only the bow of the cruiser can bear the huge energy consumption and recoil of the Nova Cannon;
This is also a high-energy strike that usually only has one chance in a normal naval battle, because the bow of the ship is a shooting window that only exists before the melee.

Chaos Space Marine strike cruisers were not prepared for such blows, or their void shields themselves were not designed to be focused by such weapons.

The short-term bombardment of the four nova cannons on the battlefield either means four times the enemy's frontal attack, or means more than twice the enemy's trailing pursuit.

No matter which one is in the eyes of the battleship designer, the death of the battleship is announced;

Therefore, the precious hull space is best reserved for engines and weapon arrays, not for the strength of shields.

Returning the perspective to the real battlefield, the concentrated strikes of the four nova cannons in the front and back within ten seconds completely penetrated the defense system of the chaotic battleship.

The battleship's shield instantly made a low-pitched humming sound, and under the terrified eyes of the crew, the front and rear four shield generators were all overloaded, and fell into a 15-minute recovery cycle.

After the oval-shaped energy shell was completely dissipated, the strike cruiser was completely exposed to the incoming enemy's firepower, and could only use the battleship's own armor to defend against the next attack.

The siren sounded throughout the battleship, and the belated crew members were spontaneously maxing out the engine power.

The gravitational force of the planet has become the most hated existence at this time.

Under its interference, it will take at least 10 minutes for the battleship to resume maneuvering.

Someone must fight for the precious 10 minutes for this cruiser, and right now this role can only be assumed by the frigate beside him.

The four frigates responded to the flagship's call and began to gather in the direction of the Revenant Redeemer's fire.

This is undoubtedly a doomed sacrifice, but it is also a wise choice.

After all, if the only large cruiser capable of fighting the incoming enemy was destroyed, the remaining frigates could only sit and wait for death.

On the bridge of the Night Rain, the ruler of this battleship - Kelsen, the Astartes warrior of the Night Lords, still sat calmly on the throne made of black iron.

The orders of the mortal captain are efficiently executed because of his composure. If even he falls into fear, the morale of the fleet will collapse, and there is no room for salvation.

"how is the situation?"

He looked at the captain who came back to him again and asked.

Even if he didn't answer, he actually knew that the situation was critical.

The shield of the battleship has been overloaded, and it is unknown how long the four frigates can buy.

The immediate concern was how long it would take the engines to reach full power, and how long it would take them to escape from the gravitational rings in planetary orbits after that.

"There is no danger for the time being." The mortal captain has also served these fighters for a long time, and he tacitly knows what Kelsen is most concerned about:
"Engine power has been restored to 80%, and we will be able to escape gravity in 5 minutes..."

boom!boom!boom!
A huge explosion occurred on the other side of the Night Rain, and the entire battleship shifted laterally under the huge explosion.

Kelsen, who was holding on to the armrest of the seat, was still safe, but the mortal captain in front of him had already been smashed to the ground by the flying steel parts.

But he was still sticking to his post, shouting in the direction of the engineer (mechanical priest), which also made Kelsen, who was concerned about his status, immediately shift his gaze:
"Report damage to the hull!"

"Macro gun attack. The armor belt of the hull is seriously damaged, and the engine is seriously damaged!"

Father Norris replied calmly, and in the next second, another explosion sound came from the middle of the hull.

The explosion sound is smaller than the previous wave, but obviously denser and deeper.

This time, there is no need to report from Father Norris. This voice is so familiar to him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is innate and haunting.

Kelsen stood up from the throne with an ugly expression, and put the Nightwing helmet on his head.

When the airtight hissing sound was still coming from the seam between the helmet and the neck armor, he had already connected the communication channel to his compatriots in the barracks at the rear of the ship through gritted teeth, and gave an order:

"Rebound to help prepare for the battle! We, here are the guests!"

"It's done!"

Seeing the completion of the plan for the Star Labyrinth of the Tauren Chapter.

Dozens of landing torpedoes and Moloch's own gauntlet assault boat have successfully broken through the night rain's armor and entered the interior of the hull under the opening of the melta ray.

The command team on the Revenant Redeemer knew that most of the victory had already been won.

After all, in terms of net worth and combat strength alone, even the Gray Knights would suffer a great loss in front of the full-stacked Terminator company of the Tauren Chapter if they had no intention of doing mental calculations.

And in such a narrow space as jumping and binding battles, the power of the Terminator will be magnified to the extreme!
It was hard for Yule to imagine how hard this group of traitors, who had lost their courage, would try to stop the wave of attacks led by Moloch himself.

The atmosphere on the bridge was extremely harmonious for a while, only Allen was still frowning.

"Still worried about Calvin?"

Tabers was the first to notice the strangeness of this recruit.

And the latter affirmed it.

"Yes. I can already vaguely feel him."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tabers was also pleasantly surprised. Being able to perceive Calvin here means that their direction is not wrong.

"But his condition is not good." Allen said worriedly.

"It's okay, we won't wait too long. As long as we get rid of this fleet, we can descend to the surface and look for his trace." Tabers comforted.

In his prediction, this was already the best option, but the recruit in front of him obviously had other ideas:

"No! I want to lead a team to cruise in low-Earth orbit! We can feel his presence, as long as he is still here! We can answer his call, as long as he still needs us!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the barracks...

The battle on the surface is still going on, but both the intensity and intensity have far exceeded the expectations of the spectators.

But unlike before, neither of the warring parties this time belonged to the realm of mortals, nor even the realm of the Astartes.

The eyes of the midnight lords were widened to the extreme, and they could only occasionally observe a corner of the battle from their frame-dropped vision.

On the way of charging, the demon prince lost his specific form and turned into a wave of blood. Calvin also turned into a white light, fighting with the big demon.

The storm brought by the two sides made the spectators in the distance tremble with fear, while the legion under the command of the big devil charged towards the direction of the battlefield, interfering with Calvin.

boom!
In the vision of the Midnight Lord in the last second, Calvin beheaded a bloodletting demon on the mountain of corpses;
In the next second, his figure appeared on the other side again, and the raised sword was fighting against the heavy scepter, making an ear-piercing roar.

The superhuman vision of the Astartes is no different from that of ordinary people at this time. In this level of battle, the elite demon army is the cannon fodder to contain Calvin, let alone the room for them to participate in the battle.

In ten seconds, the members of the demon army were cut by a quarter, and the price was that Calvin's robe was no longer complete;

In 20 seconds, the terrifying storm continued, and there were very few demons left on the field, and blood was already flowing from the corner of Calvin's mouth.

The roars of Calvin and the big devil continued with the battle, but the more rampant laughter of the devil proved that the battle was in its favour.

Rebers even had strength to warn Calvin during the battle:

"You can only stay here! You dare not let my cubs pass by! As long as you still have this concern, today is your death day!"
