Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 507 495. Ark of Evil Omen ([-])

The Chaos Fleet broke in from Mandeville Point. The vanguard was an unknown type of cruiser and two Sword-class frigates. At the same time, four modified armed ships could also be seen.

This small amount of troops can't even be considered a vanguard in intelligence. It can only be regarded as a small reconnaissance force.After seeing such an army coming, the Gris troops immediately ordered the navy to fight.

Two "Dauntless" class cruisers sailed towards the enemy in front of them. The "Dauntless" class cruiser inherits the previous style of the Tigris battleship. Six 900 mm caliber sub-ion cannons are deployed on the front armor plate, which can cause a fierce blow to the enemy at a distance of millions of kilometers.The Guards artillery and small-caliber artillery distributed on the lower deck can also deal a huge blow to the enemy. At the same time, aerospace fighters can also be launched to conduct escort missions to ensure the safety of the entire warship.

In terms of maneuverability, in addition to the conventional plasma engine and nuclear fusion engine, the solar sail at the tail not only provides additional power, but also allows the warship to have good maneuverability even if it has strong firepower. Even if you encounter enemies in subspace, you can also rely on sails to move forward with the energy flow in the rough waves of subspace.

This kind of cruiser usually serves as the flagship of the escort fleet or the leader of the destroyer fleet. Now it is a wise choice to let these two cruisers lead a dozen small warships to investigate.Because both sides are not clear about each other's combat strength now, they are very cautious. The commanders did not rush forward recklessly, but carefully tested the opponent's strength and formulated corresponding plans.

The Tigris cruiser formation and frigate formation immediately formed a long snake formation, which was convenient for directing side-spinning firepower at the enemy.The six destroyers were arranged in a shovel shape, preparing for a torpedo assault. They would attack to a suitable distance and release torpedoes to destroy the enemy cruisers as much as possible.

The form shown by Chaos is a bit subtle. The cruisers and frigates did not form a long snake formation, but formed an arrow shape. It was obvious that the opponent planned to use the assault tactics usually used by Chaos to fight against the Teclis.That's because Chaos inherited a large number of technologies and ships left over from the Horus camp during the Horus Heresy, and the main firepower of these ships was concentrated on the bow to facilitate breakthrough attacks.

On the other hand, chaos can also achieve another purpose in this form.When the warship successfully reaches a close enough distance, a large number of Hellclaw attack pods are released to launch a gang-hopping operation against the enemy, allowing the Astartes to destroy and capture the enemy warship.

But next to such a lineup, four armed merchant ships began to stagnate, and the radar showed that they seemed to be releasing something.

"Have those merchant ships been transformed into small aircraft carriers? But how many aircraft can such a small thing launch?"

After observing what the enemy was doing, the commander of the Tigris fleet immediately understood the role of those merchant ships, but he really couldn't figure out why those small merchant ships were transformed into aircraft carriers.

On the battlefield of the universe, small aircraft are becoming less and less useful. Just like light missiles, they are slowly becoming a story of the past.Nowadays, these weapons only appear more on the ground battlefield, rather than in the confrontation between warships in space.

But just when people were confused, those flying objects suddenly moved forward at extremely fast speeds, even faster than cannonballs accelerated by rockets.All the Teclis soldiers were shocked, because apart from seeing Ada's fighter jets, they had never thought that Chaos fighter jets could run so fast.

And when they saw what was coming, no one could believe their eyes: it was a giant dragon that flew from hell, and was now soaring in the void of the Milky Way.The hundreds of meters long hell flying dragon, the terrifying demon engine can fly easily with the help of the projection of the subspace in the physical universe. The giant claws under the wings can easily tear apart the battleship, and the hell fire in its mouth can transform the members inside. Turning into coke, no one wants to be caught by this thing, not even a huge battleship.

This is an extra-large hell flying dragon. Different from the small flying dragons on the battlefield, these flying dragons are specially made to fight against enemy warships.However, because its huge body requires more powerful demons to drive and better workshops to manufacture, this kind of demon engine is relatively rare.

But now Orega throws out 12 at once. The reason is because he has the help of the master of subspace forging behind him. With the help of that powerful and unknown existence, the demon prince can obtain a steady stream of Demon engine support.

"The anti-aircraft artillery fires immediately and crush those monsters!!"

More than 20 hell flying dragons, symbolizing the Teclis formation, attacked, and what greeted them was a dense air defense array.Lasers and live ammunition weapons shot in the direction of the hell flying dragon, but the cunning demon engine easily dodged those shells that seemed to be very slow in the void. At the same time, fire was spitting out of its mouth, as if mocking the accuracy of those people. Spend.Even if some shells successfully hit those hell flying dragons, the characteristics of the demon engines themselves show that they are difficult to destroy in the physical universe. They can only destroy their shells and internal structures, and most of them can be expelled back to the subspace. middle.

Under the seemingly intensive firepower attack, the fleet barely managed to capture two flying dragons. Although the remaining ten flying dragons suffered various losses and losses, their main combat power still existed. At the same time, those demons also became more powerful. Angry, the damage caused by the fleet encountered will only be greater.

"Main gun against air! Damn it! Main gun against air! Change the firing mode of all artillery shells, we will destroy those monsters with the first round of artillery!"

Under the command of the fleet commander, the naval soldiers of the vanguard force immediately changed the mode of the shells in the gun barrel, allowing the explosives to explode in the air and destroy the enemy's fighter planes.Although this will cause them to temporarily lose their ability to counterattack enemy ships, what is more dangerous at present is the approaching hell dragons.

With the addition of main gun anti-aircraft shells, the threat of the Hell Dragon has finally been greatly reduced. Now every shot fired by the main gun can shoot down a flying dragon. In just one minute, four more flying dragons were killed. Come down.But even though the firepower was sufficient in this minute, there was no way to make up for the mistakes caused by insufficient firepower just now.

The six hell flying dragons still came to attack, and the Vulcan cannons and missiles hanging under their wings began to bombard the warships below. Some flying dragons even pounced directly on the frigate, biting off the turrets and hulls alive.

The brutal naval battle began at this moment.
