Chapter 612 Naval Battle Old Man

Chapter 600 Naval Battle, Old Man

Bang... Bang...

Boom... Boom...

The city area was completely shrouded in the night, and the sound of gunfire resounded everywhere. From time to time, meteor showers of varying sizes would flash in the sky.

But these meteor showers did not represent orbital airdrops. After all, if it was an orbital airdrop, it should be more orderly, but now it was extremely chaotic.

Soon, one of the "meteors" passed through the atmosphere, and the fire was still unabated.

And even if you stand on the ground, you can clearly see that the still burning fireball is not a "meteor", but a Paris-class frigate that was hit in half.

Boom... Boom... Boom!!!

Before the establishment of the Human Empire, he was also a "brave general" who could make the battalion and the navy turn the tide. At this moment, after crashing through several giant buildings on the way, he could not hold on and exploded violently, which "added fuel to the fire" in the city area.

Artemis should have ensured the safety of the plague doctor and followed Corax. Her appearance on the Morning Star meant that the main force of the Raven Guard had also arrived in the Morning Star Universe.

But even so, the battle for control of the near-Earth orbit was still fierce.

But those were not what Artemis cared about. As a land god, she could not play any role in the naval battle, not to mention that they had just arrived at the battlefield. She had absolute confidence in the strength of her own army.

At this moment, she was walking quickly through the streets, heading towards the 15th district of the city mentioned by the captain.

And she was not alone.

There were more than a hundred entourage members, who also wore special power armor with silver paint, but the height of this group of people was about half a meter taller than the Astartes wearing the Terminator, equivalent to an average height of nearly four meters.

These big guys who seemed to be bigger than the Astartes were actually the servants of the gods responsible for guarding Mount Olympus.

According to Artemis' description, Olympus also had an army of over 100 million servants at its peak, but more than 80% of the servants died in the alien space because they followed Zeus, and the remaining 20% ​​were lost in various wars.

However, with the return of Queen Hera, and the Emperor's opening of a "garden (resort island)" in the alien space, more and more servants who would rather fight to the end than be corrupted by Chaos or lost their way were found again and then accepted by the human empire.

The total number is currently about 20,000.

Most of them gradually became non-staff combat units of the Spartan Legion because of Queen Hera, and a small number were transferred to Titan. While obeying Artemis's command, they would also assist the moonlight goddess in training the Gray Knights.

On paper, their height and weight are only better than Astartes, but their strength, reaction, and agility are more than ten times weaker than Astartes, and are not much different from the auxiliary army.

But if we talk about experience and will, these servants have fought in the alien space for ten thousand years.

And among the more than one hundred servants who followed Artemis, there were four who had resisted the corruption of the fallen goddess of beauty Aphrodite, so even the veterans, champions, and even the battalion commander had to say "senior" to them.

Soon.

The group arrived at the 15th district of the city.

It is far away from the bustling city center, and there are not many giant buildings. There are many bars that are open day and night, and there are many open-air barbecue partners. It should be an area for people who are tired all day to relax and socialize.

However, the current 15th district of the city is in ruins, the green belt has been burned to ashes, and the walls are full of holes. It seems that a fierce battle broke out here.

But strangely, there is no corpse on the street, or there is no residue left after humans were decomposed by Gauss rays.

?

Seeing this, the word "Chuan" between Artemis' eyebrows became more obvious.

Due to the suppression of psychic energy, she was unable to use her psychic perception to try to restore what happened here.

"Ah...ah..."

However, Artemis heard screams from more than ten kilometers away through her hearing that was far superior to that of ordinary people.

!

Hearing this, she squinted in the direction of the sound source.

At the same time, the moonlight armor also generated a small holographic screen at her left eye, showing a high-altitude bird's-eye view of the 15th district of the city.

The dense green dots represented her and her accompanying servants, and the south, 15.3km away from them in a straight line, was the source of the screams.

Through the bird's-eye view, Artemis found that the giant apartment there was either tilted or collapsed, and the culprit for all this was a dead pyramid that emerged from the ground, but only the top part of the dead pyramid was exposed.

By zooming in for analysis, its height is about 5,000 to 6,000 meters, and the height exposed above the ground is only more than 300 meters.

In such a situation, anyone would think that there is something fishy going on there, and maybe it is the forward base of the nearby undead army.

Like the previous Artemis, even if she has not recovered her divine power, she still believes that she and a hundred divine servants are enough to deal with everything. She doesn't care about the Chaos Demon or the Orc Boss. She will just fight and do it.

Now?

"Corax." Artemis directly opened the communication and said: "An important target has been found in District 15 of the city, requesting support."

"Understood, please stand by first, support is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes." A cold response came from the other end of the communication.

"Okay."

Artemis now doesn't want to fight and kill by herself. With the Primarch and a whole legion as backup, why only bring a few people to suffer.

End the communication.

Artemis continued to march towards the Pyramid of the Dead fifteen kilometers away with more than a hundred servants, but this time they deliberately slowed down the speed, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements before launching a general attack and breaking it all at once.

——

…

At the same time.

In the universe about 20,000 kilometers away from the surface...

Boom! ! Boom! !

Bang! !

Whoosh-——! ! Whoosh-——! !

Dazzling and silent fireworks were staged.

Tens of thousands of warships were firing at each other, and various carrier-based aircraft were hiding between ships or following the missile barrage, and then launching a surprise attack.

The electromagnetic artillery trajectory flashing with blue light, or the plasma artillery group like a comet, and the beam matrix that was instantly fired and hit, the human empire was firing at full power.

The same was true for the dead.

Those flying pyramids that were more than several kilometers long, wide and high, or even tens of kilometers, emitted green and fluorescent Gaussian rays that could directly destroy human destroyers and energy shields of lower levels, and then penetrate and decompose the hull.

As for the carrier-based aircraft of the space dead, they were like a disc with a missing corner, or a scorpion without feet, but the common feature of these carrier-based aircraft was that the cockpit did not provide any protection for the "pilot".

However, there was no difference at all for the metal skeleton-like dead pilots with or without protection.

They cannot feel vacuum, radiation, high temperature or low temperature. As long as they are within the limit of what the metal body can bear, their functions will be normal.

Otherwise, there will be the concept of "flesh and blood pain, mechanical ascension".

Not long ago.

The Imperial Navy and Battalion Fleet on the side of Venus could only rely on the electromagnetic turrets in the near-Earth orbit and the beam matrix to fight against more than 6,000 flying pyramids.

Within two hours, the orbital force of the Venus side was completely lost, with only one Dreadnought-class aircraft carrier, one Phoenix-class supply ship, and more than a dozen frigates for tenacious resistance.

The third company of the 16th Battalion, which followed the fleet, was preparing to use a new Paris-class frigate to forcibly board a pyramid with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers when the main force of the Dark Raven Guard suddenly visited.

The main fleet of the Dark Raven Guard originally went to an abandoned planet about 200 light years away from Venus based on the intelligence provided by the Red Queen to conduct reconnaissance and try to search for high-value targets on that abandoned planet.

But on the way, Corax received a message from Rogge, saying that the star system where the Morning Star is located and the nearby universe have fallen into silence, and it is very likely that they have encountered a large-scale revival of the Tomb of the Dead.

After changing the destination and turning around to sail out of the fault space, they saw that the friendly forces were about to be destroyed, so the main force of the Raven Guard, with a total of about 1,200 ships, immediately joined the battle.

It seems that the Raven side is still at a disadvantage, with a ship ratio of 1:6, but the Raven Guard has a home world with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers.

Another round of naval battle is about to start.

The two sides fired at each other, but the Raven Guard's aircraft carriers and transport ships, escorted by destroyers and frigates, broke through the defense lines, arrived in low-Earth orbit first, and deployed a large number of ground troops to the metropolitan area.

The 3rd Company of the 16th Battalion of the Dark Angels, which was prepared to take a boarding battle to the death, saw the arrival of support and saw that the Paris-class frigate they had requisitioned was under fierce attack, so they let all the members of the ship abandon the ship and escape.

Then, after completing "her" mission, the Paris-class frigate was completely sunk by the Necromancer Pyramid and fell into the urban area on the surface.

At this moment.

"The Emperor's Shadow" is the inner world of the Raven Guard's home world.

Like the surface of the colonized planet, it also has soil, glaciers, oceans, various factories, cities and bases for living and training, but everything is turned upside down.

And the core of the inner world is an artificial star with a diameter of only 30 kilometers, which is bound in a special position and provides a nearly permanent energy source for the Emperor's Shadow.

And in the control room of the Emperor's Shadow...

"Order the fleet to continue with Exercise Plan 322 and first eliminate the enemy fleet in the Marked Space Region."

"Sir, our right wing and rear are being harassed by enemy carrier-based aircraft."

"Use the close-in defense guns of each ship to destroy them, and at the same time mobilize four carrier-based aircraft squadrons to expel and annihilate them. Pay attention to whether the enemy is carrying large-scale energy weapons."

"Yes, sir."

Only Corax's low and cold orders were heard in the control room, and more than 30 crew members (Astartes) began to implement the instructions issued by their Primarch.

In addition to the Raven Guards who are good at calculation and control, there are more than 100 auxiliary soldiers in the control room who are responsible for providing intelligence support to officers at all levels, or commanding carrier-based aircraft squadrons and squadrons to carry out bombing, raids and other tasks.

And Corax, wearing the dark black Primarch power armor, with long flowing hair and fair skin, is crossing his arms over his chest and watching the real-time battle situation displayed on the center console.

(Picture)

According to the so-called 332nd exercise plan, after leaving the fault space, the Raven Guard immediately dispersed "left and right" to avoid being besieged by the Necron fleet.

At the same time, the Emperor's Shadow and the Primarch's direct fleet acted as bait to resist the Necron fleet that was dozens of times larger than their own.

Then, the 1st, 15th, and 44th Battalions were responsible for the left wing, the 10th, 24th, and 67th Battalions were responsible for the right wing, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions directly deployed the warp engine and flashed behind the Necron fleet.

In this way, the Raven Guard, who were originally at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, surrounded part of the universe and the Necron fleet in the universe in reverse.

Then, the flagships of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions immediately released a matrix terminal with the appearance of a metal cylinder, which surrounded the entire battalion fleet and connected the engines of all battalion ships in series to increase power.

Not only the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, but also the flagships of the other six battalions, and even the Emperor's Shadow, released thousands of matrix terminals.

Then…

…

Ri~——…

The matrix and the matrix terminal were quickly connected in series, and a thin blue light appeared between them.

Whoosh~——！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！ ！

In a short moment, the encircled universe was instantly "cut", which was a "cut" in the physical sense.

A "◇" rhombus that burst out with blue light directly covered the universe within the matrix range, and everything was burned and cut by high temperature and high energy.

From a distance, it was like a huge luminous body that appeared out of thin air in that universe.

It seemed that they had conducted countless exercises. From the beginning of the war to the completion of the layout and the completion of the matrix cutting, the whole process of the Raven Guard was less than five minutes.

In terms of the reaction speed of Astartes, five minutes is simply a snail, but in a naval battle, it is no different from Astartes punching an alien with all his strength.

? ? ! !

Instantly, 1/4 of its size was lost, making this newly awakened dynasty realize that humans might have more tricks to play with matrix attacks.

Immediately, the Necromancer fleet stopped fighting in groups, and the distance between the pyramids had to be kept at least 3,000 kilometers. They also used the Morning Star behind them as a "hostage" to prevent the Raven Guard from going around again and using a large-scale matrix attack like just now.

See this.

Corax continued to give orders: "Notify the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, let them continue to look for opportunities to go around and attack in coordination with our main frontal force. At the same time, notify all ships to increase the shield power to 120%, and reduce the main gun charge to 60%. Don't worry about accidental attacks, and then intersperse salvos on enemy ships.

Also, I will go to the surface of Morning Star with Shadow (Glory Guard), and the rest of the battle will be left to you."

"Yes, sir."

"..."

After hearing the answer, Corax nodded slightly, but he was about to turn around and leave...

"Oh, it's really a beautiful work of art, wow, I really want to put it in a display case."

He heard an old man speak in his ear.
