Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 558 The end of the end

The Terminus's engine room was destroyed, Typhons was locked in a dogfight, and the battleship received no orders from its commander.

In this case, there was no way to report the matter to Typhons.

In the void, a rift opened.

Groups of warships emerged from it.

The blue battleship of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

The black battleship of the Tyrone Navy.

A large number of battleships emerged from the large rift across the entire Onila system in groups.

When more than 2000 battleships have emerged, and even when the two flagships Macragge's Glory and Glory of Humanity slowly came out side by side, battleships were still emerging.

Densely packed, like a large force arriving on the battlefield in a ground battle.

"Enemy ship found."

"The Primarch's orders: Annihilate them."

"The order from Lord Tyrone has been issued, attack them!"

The captains of both fleets received the order, and the Glory of Humanity and the Glory of Macragge opened fire at the same time.

Macragge's Glory bombarded the Terminus, and the Glorious Humans bombed the huge plague warships trying to rescue the Terminus.

Separated by nearly [-] million kilometers, countless particle torrents were shot out from the weapon arrays carried all over the Glory Humanity, bombarding enemy ships like logging guns.

It is impossible for any battleship below a battleship to survive under the rapid and uninterrupted attack of particle light spears. Cruisers are often divided into pieces of space junk by the light spears the moment the void shield collapses.

The Macragge's Glory, which was equipped with a new fire control system, did not need to get close. It deflected ninety degrees to the right on the spot and pointed it sideways at the Terminus. Rows of light spears and macro cannons opened fire.

The Terminus's void shield deflected these attacks, but it was becoming overloaded.

While the two flagships were showing their prowess, the Tyron naval cruiser formation escorted the Space Marine strike cruisers close to the enemy fleet, preparing to use jump gangs to completely delay the entire plague fleet, so that the fleet would perish in the bombing instead of gradually eroding.

The Plague Fleet's instinctive counterattack.

The fleets of both sides are gradually approaching.

The naval carrier-based aircraft of Ultramar and Tyrone were one step ahead of both fleets, fighting each other in the large void in the middle.

But one side is controlling a metal fighter, and the other side is a living creature.

This fleet battle was not expected, but contingency plans had been prepared before, including what the warship should do, what the crew should do, and even what the carrier-based aircraft pilot should do.

The core of carrier-based aircraft operations is two thousand anti-ship aircraft.

This is the air force from Beixiu [-]. They were famous for their most ferocious and fearless bombing behavior during the attack and defense of Beixiu [-]. They were promoted from the Planetary Defense Force to the Tyron Navy, and from Hive City Defenders to Defender of the sector and the entire human species.

This anti-ship aircraft unit is called the Dreadnought Squadron.

When the fleets of both sides approached each other, and the carrier-based aircraft from Five Hundred Worlds and Tyrone entangled and fought with the living flying creatures, and finally made progress, it was time for the anti-ship aircraft to appear.

On the flight deck of the Tyrone Navy's flagship Glory Humanity, two thousand fighter planes have been debugged. All pilots entered the cabin with only one human body container and plugged the connecting cable into the brain-computer interface. Then the pilots and the fighters were mentally connected. The levels merge into one.

The squadron's leading fighter is a red body.

On the left and right wings of the fighter plane, the words "Fearless" written in the ancient Terran script that Governor He Qizheng had learned.

This squadron doesn't care what collateral damage the mission will cause or how much sacrifice it will make. They only care about whether the mission can be completed.Two thousand fighter planes flew out of the deck of the Glory Humanity, penetrated the thin energy curtain that isolated the void, and flew towards the enemy fleet.

Along the way, they passed through the area where fighter planes from both sides exchanged fire and passed through dense groups of flying creatures, leaving the task of escorting and clearing the way entirely to friendly forces.

No matter what kind of obstruction and attack they face, they will not flinch, and they will not even change the distance and orientation between each fighter plane.

In the end, the fleet penetrated the void shield against the close firepower of the Plague Fleet.

This process even needs to be slowed down, because anything that goes too fast will be deflected into the subspace by the void shield.

After passing through the purple warp energy, the surviving fighters swooped down to release deadly heavy anti-personnel torpedoes.

These torpedoes fly slowly and are difficult to break through close firepower. They are special torpedoes for carrier-based aircraft. When they are dropped at close range, the destructive effect they cause is staggering.

When the Dreadnaught Squadron completed bombing and returned home after losing hundreds of fighter planes, behind them, hundreds of plague warships turned into a ball of fire burning in the void.

And in the near-suicidal bombing mission just now, ten fighter planes were hit when they broke through the fire net. They decisively performed what they should do after being unable to return, and hit the center of the Terminal's hull with torpedoes.

A violent explosion appeared in the middle of the Terminus.

The entire battleship was twisted by the explosion. Amidst the screams of flesh and metal, the hull was pushed three kilometers sideways by the explosion. The bow and stern of the ship were twisted to the point where they seemed to be greeting each other face to face.

The explosion was only the first damage caused by the torpedo, and there were even more terrible collateral damage.

The air tightness of the ship's hull was rapidly declining. The middle part of the hit ship's hull was gradually broken due to the distortion of the head and tail. Countless crew members were sucked into the void, and the flames caused by the explosion were also extinguished at this time.

The third time the damage was more serious, with the terminal cracked from head to tail.

The fourth damage was caused by Macragge's Glory.

The macro cannon hit the broken tail, causing the tail to be pushed by the kinetic energy of the explosion and crash into the floating bow. The tail collided, and the violent impact caused instantly killed 80.00% of the crew within the battleship.

News of the Lamenter's gang-hopping operations had reached the interior of the Macragge's Glory long ago, and the reason why it could fire its guns with confidence was that the Storm Daughter used a teleportation beacon to launch a cutting bomb. The part of the structure carrying Foros and Typhons was separated from the Terminus as a whole and was already floating in the void.

Typhons was not buried in the Terminus, but this meant that he had to stand in the section that was divided and watch his flagship be destroyed in an extremely tragic way.

"My final number..."

Typhons even forgot that he was still fighting with Foros, and knelt down in grief, watching the remaining remains of the Terminus disintegrate in the void, and then be captured by the gravity of the planet.

This Glory Queen-class ship survived the Battle of Cadia, survived the void battle facing the celestial engine, and survived the final evacuation stage...

Abaddon's Vengeful Spirits were destroyed, but the Terminus survived.

But now he is buried in the war of invading the Five Hundred Worlds. This is not even a super battle.

As long as the people sent by Mortarion can say: the enemy's combined fleet has been assembled.

The Terminus absolutely cannot end up like this.

"Your battleship is finished, and you will be finished again."

Phros pulled the spear out of the corpse in the death shroud, walked behind Typhons, grabbed his helmet and pressed the spear against the back of his neck.

"I said, I will kill you as many times as you resurrect."

Typhons didn't respond. He knelt on the ground and looked at his Terminus. He felt that his heart was broken and he didn't care about dying again.
