Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 209
"Our frigates are gone."

Typhus' comm image popped up again, informing him of what Abaddon already knew.

Abaddon didn't have time to talk nonsense to Typhus, he was clasping the armrest of the throne as hard as he could to stabilize himself in the violently shaking bridge.

"Attack on the port side!"

"Waiting for reports of damage from the weapon teams on the port side!"

"Calculating the damage of each warship in the fleet!"

The crew in the bridge kept reporting.

The fleet has just been swept by weird energy weapons, the frigates all explode, and the void shields of other types of warships are also paralyzed.And the Vengeful Spirit was blasted to port by the particle lances of the battleship ahead, a series of events that upset Abaddon.

"If you can't come up with a suitable strategy, my fleet and I will leave immediately!"

Typhons was far more disturbed and agitated than Abaddon. His body was constantly weakening or strengthening due to the firefighting between the Celestial Engine and the Blackstone Fortress. New granulation...Typhon felt that his body sometimes enjoyed unparalleled comfort, and sometimes suffered the most terrifying torture.

"The more we have to calm down at this time." Abaddon comforted Typhons in a calm tone, he knew that the more critical the situation was, the more he could not mess up.

However, this flat tone made Typhons even more angry and agitated.

"All the frigates are gone, and my fleet has lost ten cruisers. The ships can be rebuilt, but my brothers and sisters can't be resurrected after they die!"

"You arrogant bastard, why didn't you investigate the enemy's strength before launching an attack, why did you rush to Cadia?"

"..."

Abaddon calmly endured Typhon's complaints. He really wanted to ask Typhon, didn't he send people to the Tyron star area to do reconnaissance? Why didn't he investigate the situation?Although he thought so in his heart, Abaddon didn't say it.

Until an adjutant who ran into the bridge reported the situation on the port side.

"My lord, a big hole has been opened on the port side of your battleship..."

After listening to the report, Abaddon felt that someone was clenching his heart. The port side of the Vengeful Spirit, which he cherished so much, was severely damaged, which hurt him more than all the frigates in the fleet.

"Shut up!" Abaddon snarled at the still-complaining Typhus. "You lackey of the Dark Gods."

Typhus had calmed down a bit.

"This fleet battle is out of the question," Abaddon said.

Typhus nodded in approval.

In less than half an hour since the start of the battle, the frigates were all wiped out, and the void shields of other warships were also overloaded, completely unable to fight the enemy fleet.

And Huron's company commander did not send a communication to Typhons and Abaddon. He is probably dead, and the Red Pirate fleet may not continue to stay in the galaxy.

Four or ten minutes ago, victory was still within reach, and Abaddon didn't want to give up easily. His first idea was to let the fleet get close to Cadia at all costs, and then airdrop the army to Cadia.

Warp rifts still exist in the galaxy, which means wizards can easily summon demons.

But this idea was immediately denied by Abaddon himself.What is the difference between dropping an army without controlling the orbit of the planet and throwing an army down to die?
Moreover, the fleet will suffer serious losses in the process of approaching Cadia, which is not cost-effective.

"Four or 10 minutes ago, victory was within reach." Abaddon was very unwilling, but rationally told him that he had to evacuate, otherwise his own fleet would be completely wiped out when the planet-like weapon fired another arc.

However, there was one more thing Abaddon wanted to do before evacuating, and that was to obtain more information about the enemy's metal planet, and then find a way to defeat that planet in the future.

Typhus, impatient to wait any longer, cut off communications and ordered a retreat.

Every battleship in the plague fleet slowly turned to the direction of the crack, and then rushed over at the fastest speed.

The Red Pirate Fleet had already been evacuating, and most of the frigates in the Chaos Fleet were provided by them. After the frigates were all destroyed and the commander lost contact, they decided to leave.

Abaddon didn't want to give up, he still decided to give it a try, so he issued three orders to the adjutants in the bridge.

"Other warships cover the evacuation of the Vengeful Spirit."

"Let all the warships on the west side of the fleet be loaded with boarding torpedoes, and prepare for a gang battle."

As he gave his last order, Abaddon's eyes fell on one of the lieutenants, who was wielding a pair of knives.

The lieutenant, Terenon Laila, was one of the founders of the Black Legion and a master swordsman.

Whenever Abaddon needed someone for the most dangerous gang-hopping missions in any previous war, Lyra would have been the first choice.

But Abaddon didn't let the lieutenant jump to help: "We haven't confirmed whether the shields used by the enemy can intercept all entities...you wait in the bridge until I get enough information."

After giving the order, Abaddon personally directed the gang battle.

……

After all the cruisers on the west side of the fleet were loaded with boarding torpedoes, Abaddon organized a total of ten cruisers into a fleet. The boarding torpedoes of these ten cruisers were loaded with only mortal servants.

Ten cruisers and their mortal servants were the cannon fodder to test the waters.

If they can successfully jump to the gang, then other cruisers and the elite combat forces of the Black Legion will participate in the second round of gang jumping.

Under Abaddon's arrangement, ten cruisers broke away from the fleet and sailed towards the celestial engine, launching boarding torpedoes when they were pulled towards the celestial engine by gravity.

Tens of thousands of boarding torpedoes were pulled towards the celestial engine by gravity, and they were pulled even faster than normal flight.

As the boarding torpedo got closer and closer to the celestial engine, Abaddon stared intently at the image inside the bridge, expecting them to land successfully.

All the boarding torpedoes were dragged towards the satellite structure, and when they were about to hit the shield, they were intercepted by a near-defense weapon array. Most of the torpedoes were blown up by missiles and lasers. Only a few lucky ones survived the attack, and then hit the on the energy shield.

Abaddon was a little disappointed but not discouraged. He thought he had probed vital information.

That is, the shield used by the enemy is different from the void shield. It can intercept any entity, whether it is a torpedo or a ship, don’t even try to penetrate the shield without overloading it. If you want to jump gang battles, you must use teleportation means.

These experiences will be used in the next battle.

"This war is not over yet." Abaddon stood up from the throne and clenched his power claws, staring out the porthole at the battleships chasing the Vengeful Spirit.

The figure of the battleship was gradually resisted by a large number of cruisers who came to hinder it.
