Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 288 Powerful Arc
"I have an idea."

As Qualen pondered how to implement the decapitation tactic, Adam's voice reached his ears.

Qualen in the communication image raised his eyebrows and looked at Adam, wanting to hear his ideas.

"An orbital defense platform is widely used in the Tyrone sector."

"This kind of defense platform is just like our battleship. It has energy shields, particle light spears... and the most important thing is that their shield devices can be linked."

"A large device is responsible for allocating the shield energy of each defense platform. When the shield of one platform is damaged, other platforms will transfer the shield energy to it."

Qualen first wondered why Adam would bring up the orbital defense platform at this time, but then he understood.

"You want to lay a defensive platform outside the Hive Fleet?" Quaren asked.

"Yes." Adam nodded, his eyes always looking at the Hive Fleet, which ignored its own fleet and did whatever it was supposed to do.

Those biological battleships can be seen at a glance. Regardless of their quality, their quantity alone is enough to cause fear to those who see them.

"The only thing we can use is decapitation tactics, get close to the biological mothership and kill it."

"But there are too many biological warfare ships. We may be destroyed as we approach the mother ship, but it will be different if we have the help of orbital defense platforms."

"So my plan is to deploy defense platforms during the advance, so that we can approach the mother ship steadily."

Adam continued.

"Fire and build fortifications at the same time... Void position battle?" Quan Lun's eyes lit up, but then he felt unreliable. "The question is how long will it take for you to build a defensive platform?"

"Soon." Adam only said two words.

If anyone else said this, Quan Lun wouldn't believe it, but if it was Adam from the Tyrone fleet who said it, it still has credibility, and he wouldn't tell nonsense.

Qualen decided to use this tactic, and then began to think about more details, such as the formation of the fleet during its advancement.

When facing the Hive Fleet, all warships should act in unison, rather than spreading out and fighting each other during the battle.

Act as one, just like when the Chaos fleets gathered together and headed straight for the Celestial Engine during the Battle of Cadia.

Qualen was more experienced than Adam in handling these details, and he passed the order on after he had thought it through.

The Imperial and Tyrone fleets were merged together, with small frigates and cruisers distributed around the fleet, while large battleships and orbital docks were arranged in the center of the fleet.

In addition, Qualen also mobilized a group of warships to form a reserve. When warships anywhere on the periphery suffered unbearable fierce attacks, these reserves would replace or support those warships.

All battleships in the fleet quickly adjusted their positions and orientations, and then slowly approached the Hive Fleet.

The Hive Fleet does not want to pay attention to these few human ships, but wants to save the biomass to rebuild the swarm to attack Baal, but when the human ships actively approach, they cannot wait to be attacked.

The mother ship will also begin to move in the opposite direction to the human ship, and other types of biological warships will gather and head straight for the human ship.

When he saw the giant insects with tentacles and claws approaching, Qualen missed the opponents he had encountered before except the Zerg.

Neither the traitor nor the xenos fleets are as uniform as the Hive Fleet.

During the advance, the ships of the Tyron fleet adjusted their particle lances to long-range shooting mode, attacking the Hive Fleet first with weaker attack power and ultra-long range.Slender particle light spears streaked around the heavy cruiser where Quaren was.

The damage effect cannot be seen for the time being, because the distance is too far and there are too many biological warships. Only a dense mass of giant insects can be seen on the bridge.

Adam could see more clearly. His brain was directly connected to the battleship, and he could view the Hive Fleet more closely through the observer on the ship's hull.

He discovered that the Hive Fleet did not have any shields, but their chitinous carapace was enough to intercept weak-power mode particle spears at long range.

Information in the database shows that the carapace thickness of those biological warships is at least 30 meters thick.

This situation was not beyond Adam's expectation, and he did not expect to massacre biological warships in long-range firefights. When facing a large number of enemies, arc weapons were the most useful.

Chitinous carapace is insulating, but the carapace of a biological battleship is not seamlessly wrapped.

"The defense platform has been printed and is ready to be launched at any time." The communications staff reported to Adam the information reported from the orbital dock.

Adam nodded silently and watched the fleet approaching the Hive Fleet.

After the fleets of both sides sailed towards each other for half a solar hour, the Hive Fleet also launched an attack.

Gobs of green pus are ejected by bioships with cannon-like organs, and are intercepted by void shields or energy shields.

Then small bugs similar to carrier-based aircraft flew out from the inside of the biological ship, shuttled between light spears or macro cannon shells to the human fleet, and bombarded the ship with various bugs similar to cannonballs.

Imperial and Tyrone frigates fired close-in weapons fire to intercept.

There are also carrier-based aircraft on the human side, but neither Adam nor Qualen wants to use carrier-based aircraft, because the flexibility of the bugs is simply amazing. They can even turn 180 degrees on the spot. If the carrier-based aircraft fights them, they will quickly Will be slaughtered.

Besides, close-range defense weapons can still deal with these little bugs.

The Hive Fleet soon approached within arc weapon firing range, and the cruisers and heavy cruisers and battleships in the Tyron fleet began firing arcs.

It was a little smaller than the Arc Sea during the Battle of Cadia, but still deadly. The Xiongfeng Frigate at the forefront of the Hive Fleet was instantly cleared as long as it was within the shooting range.

But these arcs failed to destroy any cruiser-class biological ship, because the Hive Fleet deliberately tested the attack capabilities of human ships and deliberately sent a group of heroes to die.

The test results were acceptable, and the cruiser-class biological ship approached the human fleet at a faster speed.

"Let the arc array on the orbital dock open fire." Adam ordered. "This is the only chance to fire before the melee."

The order was delivered immediately.

The orbital dock began to rotate and move, gradually moving directly above the fleet, and then turned the side carrying the arc array toward the Hive Fleet.

Dazzling golden light illuminated half of the galaxy, and an arc sea formed above the fleet and spread towards the insect swarm.

Nearly a thousand biological ships have gathered within the shooting range. Among these biological ships are Xiongfeng and Devourer... When the arc sea rushes through them, these biological ships are instantly paralyzed and turn into space floating in the universe. Rubbish.

The orbital dock descended back to the center of the fleet, and the arc array began to recharge in preparation for the next firing.
