Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 170 The Arrival of Celestial Bodies
……

The Celestial Engine descends.

In the planetary structure, Gray and Yaoen stood in the vast space with the bridge function and looked at the holographic image.

The satellite structure of the celestial engine is continuously releasing detection waves that spread to the entire galaxy while it is rotating, and transmits the situation in the entire galaxy to the super-large holographic projection device.

The crew ran around on the suspension train in the bridge, sending the various structures of the celestial engine and the status of weapons to departments that needed to know this information.

Either a sap or a stoner could do the job, but it is now using its computing power for more important things.

"Report to the Marshal, the army is ready."

"Weapons array and shields are in good working order."

"The celestial engine has entered stellar orbit."

"..."

Various messages were sent to Gray.

In this battle, Gray was assigned to be the marshal. Even though he didn't know the origin of the people he was fighting with, he could realize that he was nothing compared to those warband leaders who had fought for thousands of years .

But people like him are the ones who have the most actual combat experience in the Tyrone galaxy and have also conducted the most virtual war training.

Fortunately, Gray knows that some kind of existence that maintains the normal operation of the celestial engine will calculate the best war strategy, and others only need to execute it.

The commander-level officers who came by train one after another gathered next to the holographic image, and the war officially began when all the more than 1000 regiment commanders arrived.

"Obviously, we can't send the army directly to the surface of the Forge World, at least not until we have control of the orbit." Gray stared at the automatically generated strategic plan next to the hologram.

The others nodded and continued to stare at the hologram.

Fleets all over the galaxy have noticed the sudden appearance of the celestial engine, and because the celestial engine did not launch an attack immediately, the enemy fleet began to boldly try to actively attack.

The fleet entrenched in the orbit of the forge world opened fire while sailing towards the celestial engine, and then kept the maximum shooting distance and focused fire when the first warship was gravitationally attracted to the celestial engine.

The firepower of more than 200 warships, large and small, looks really spectacular.

Countless torpedoes, macro cannons, light spears, and all kinds of weird ship-based weapons, these strange weapons carry out very supernatural attacks.

The big mouth of flesh and blood attached to the hull sprayed out the plague virus and released psychic lightning... In short, each showed their magical powers.

When massive attacks swept towards the celestial engine, a satellite was accelerated, blocked between the celestial engine planetary structure and the fleet, and used the shield to withstand most of the light spear and macro cannon fire, those lightning and other psionic attacks But even the shield disappeared before hitting halfway.

A small number of attacks that cannot be resisted by the shield of the satellite structure hit the shield of the planetary structure, but the shield of the planetary structure is stronger, and a small amount of attacks cannot do anything to it at all.

The torpedoes followed, and the close-in defense array on the satellite released a firepower net visible on any planet in the galaxy to intercept all the torpedoes.

After encountering a wave of attack, the celestial engine still operated as usual, accelerating in orbit around the star, and at the same time the two metal satellites turned their sides loaded with weapon arrays to the fleet.

"Why don't they leave?" Yao En asked in wonder.Think about it in another way, if you are the leader of the enemy fleet, you will run away the first time you see the celestial engine.

Battleships and defense platforms are at a disadvantage... Hasn't the enemy seen the weapon arrays on the satellite that are being charged?

At this time, the weapon array began to recharge, and the huge amount of particle light spear launchers and various other super-heavy turrets condensed all kinds of light, making the satellite structure look as dazzling as a light bulb.

"The enemy must have a reason why they can't evacuate." Gray frowned and pondered for a moment, and he could probably guess why the enemy fleet didn't evacuate. "I guess their ground troops have already been deployed. For example, if our imperial guards We are all fighting on the same planet. At this time, our own fleet in the void finds that the enemy's fleet that suddenly arrived is very powerful. Is it possible that they will throw us away and withdraw immediately? We have to try to deal with it."

Yaoen thought about it after hearing this, and felt that it made sense.

From a rational point of view, it should be withdrawn immediately, but who can be rational forever.

During the conversation, the weapon array on the satellite began to fire.

Numerous particle light spears and material live ammunition, as well as the newly developed weapons such as electric arcs, all directly hit the enemy ship.

A light spear hit the void shield and was deflected, but more light spears followed. The frigate's void shield could not last even a second, and the hull was pierced by the light spears at the moment of overload.

The electric arc jumped back and forth between the ships, just like electric fish in the river. The ships without void shields were electrocuted to death in pieces, and those with void shields could barely hold on.

After one satellite shot, it accelerated and rotated behind the planet, and the other satellite circled around, and opened fire immediately after most of the weapon arrays entered the hit angle, and another round of devastating attacks covered the enemy fleet.

After the two rounds of strikes were over, a report appeared on the holographic image.

Shooting is over.

Efficiency Rating: Poor.

Gray looked at the report with raised eyebrows, thinking about it carefully, he felt that the efficiency was really not high.

Since the enemy warships did not have time to adjust from the orbital bombing formation to the battle formation, not far from each other, the first wave of attacks destroyed a large number of warships in front of the fleet, but most of the second wave of attacks that followed were Hitting on the wreckage, the light spear pierced through a section of the abandoned hull, and hit the battleship further back after being reduced in power.

However, this efficiency rating also depends on who it is compared with.

Two rounds of attacks from weapon arrays on two satellites wiped out around 40.00% of the enemy fleet's warships.

In this kind of void battle between the celestial engine and the fleet, it is meaningless to calculate the loss of a single hull, only the fleet as a whole can be used to calculate the battle damage.

The celestial engine continued to accelerate around the star orbit, and the weapon arrays on the two satellites began to recharge. The Nightbringer fragments imprisoned in the core of the celestial engine's planetary structure had to supply the energy normally consumed by the celestial engine, as well as the weapon array. Recharging...it's just a squeeze.

It's a pity that the nightbringer fragments were locked in the hypercube maze, otherwise the entire galaxy could hear its screams.

The celestial engine is getting closer and closer to the forge world, and it is getting closer and closer to those fleets.

The weapon array is still not fully charged, but another weapon is already waiting to be used.

The teleporter teleports the large number of bombs stored in the warehouse of the astroengine planetary structure to the location of the enemy fleet.

Since there are too many bombs, it is impossible to accurately calculate each bomb, so the error in this transmission is relatively large, but there are still more than a dozen enemy ships superimposed with the bombs.
