Chapter 49: The Empire's Frontier: Time of Redemption

The cockpit of the Skyhawk was dark and silent. This intragalactic shuttle, which could be called a work of art, had a commendable taste inside and out. The comfortable brown-red leather driving seat was smooth and supple, and the well-planned LCD screens were scattered all over the dashboard. On both sides of the joystick, there were two unique spherical three-dimensional operating interfaces.

This shuttle did not look like it was made by the Empire at all. Its style was more similar to the cockpit style of the Eldar longship, but it still incorporated many elements of the Empire very appropriately, such as skulls and golden decorative silk threads.

Vito ran in from behind the quickly opened cockpit door. He deftly flipped into the driving seat and quickly started the dashboard. All the display screens lit up. The three-dimensional operating system of the star projected a whole system operation screen. Vito skillfully clicked and slid on it, and quickly completed the takeoff preparations.

The entire shuttle made a subtle humming sound. Vito pushed the holographic interface in front of him to both sides and clicked the glass in front of him. The dark cockpit glass flashed and showed the picture in front of the shuttle.

"Come on, beauty, it's time for us to take risks." Vito increased the engine thrust on the armrest of the driver's seat. The vector jet engine at the end of the shuttle began to spray out red flames. The fighter plane floated up from the spot and slid forward smoothly onto the hangar runway.

Vito retracted the landing gear and clicked the communication frequency band. "Hangar manager, open the hatch, is anyone there?" He was responded by a rustling sound from the radio. Vito sighed helplessly and looked at the audio screen that was completely a straight line.

"How could I expect them to stick to their posts? I should read fewer epic books, because they describe humans as being too selfless most of the time."

Vito sighed and leaned back in the driver's chair, "Hangar intelligent control servitor, Inquisitor overrides authority i-001, open the hangar door." "Accepting the order, identifying, identification completed, authority meets, open the hatch."

As the mechanical voice read out the response word by word, the solid ground starport door at the far end slowly opened, and the heavy steel structure was split to both sides under the action of the sliding system and heavy hydraulic structure. Scarlet light shone into the hangar, and the entrance to hell had been opened.

Vito pushed the joystick and the entire shuttle whistled out. The fluid-type shuttle instantly rushed through the runway and flew out of the gate. The shuttle flew on the war-torn streets of Zhonghe. The burning city fire shone on the shuttle's surface, reflecting a dazzling light.

The silver-drop-like spaceship flew between buildings. Vito looked at the burning streets below and the Tyranid swarms running on them. At the end of the street, Vito suddenly turned. The vector engine adjusted the direction with extremely high efficiency, allowing the spaceship to complete a rapid turn in front of a collapsed building.

The Skyhawk passed through the ruins nimbly. Vito performed various extremely difficult movements to fly in the ruins of the city. In this restricted flight zone, he was just as relaxed as taking a walk in the garden.

The shuttle roared out from the collapsed gap at the edge of the nest city and began to climb almost immediately. The flames of the vector nozzles turned pure blue and pushed the longship into the atmosphere.

Vito drove the spaceship to dodge flexibly between the airborne fungus sacs. As his fingers pressed, the laser cannon continued to fire continuously, blowing all the fungus sacs that could be knocked down along the way into falling flesh and blood.

But soon the Skyhawk broke through the atmosphere, it flew out from the purple-brown rain of airborne fungus sacs, the burning atmosphere flames extinguished and dissipated from the fluid fuselage, leaving only the cold light of space shining on it.

But suddenly, dense flames illuminated the fuselage, Vito watched the exploding Imperial warships from the cockpit, the Imperial destroyers exploded and disintegrated one by one, and the dazzling flames lit up the background of the entire galaxy.

"Inquisitor." Bell's voice said, Vito looked at the corner of the arc-shaped cabin glass, he saw the blue Thunderhawk appear behind him, and the burning flames on its body that passed through the atmosphere just dissipated and extinguished.

"Very good, it looks like we are all here and ready to go." "Can you tell us where we are going? If I am going to die, I would rather know where I am going to die." "Okay, let's go find the Queen of Worms."

"Queen of Worms?!" Ragnar's voice shouted in surprise, although Vito didn't know whether it was excitement or fear, "Shouting and yelling, calm down, you are just going to rob their ass."

"How do you know the location of the Queen of Worms?" Olaf's voice asked, "The Tyranid biological fleet has tens of thousands of ships, how do you know the location of the Queen of Worms."

Vito smiled and looked at the gorgeous battle zone in front of him, one warship after another turned into flying flames, and the cold space background had been lit up, completely lit up by blood and fire.

"Remember the lobotomy reader we got in Huangquan-8 last time?" "Yes, what happened?" "I used that thing to burn the brains of the Tyranid node creatures, and then I knew the location of the Queen of the Worm."

There was silence in the communication band, and then Olaf's voice came again, "When did you bring the lobotomy reader off the ship?" "Omega came down to help me that time, but it's not important now, Cole."

"Speak." Cole was standing on the bridge of the Infinite Frontier, staring at the flying gunfire in front of him, countless Imperial warships were turning into wreckage, and the Tyranid fleet was overwhelming him.

"Cover us as we approach the Queen's biological ship. I just turned on the frequency and you heard it. I am too lazy to explain and I don't have time to explain." "This is a stupid idea, man." "Yes, this is a stupid idea."

Cole sighed and punched the operation interface. Captain Cole suddenly stood up and burst out with unparalleled majesty and courage. He looked at the bridge operators below and pointed to the Tyranid fleet in front of him, "All Imperial warships listen! Attack forward! Cover the Inquisitor and Astartes!"

The crew looked at each other, but after everyone looked at Cole's firm eyes again, they immediately made up their minds. Roars and curses against Chaos and Alien ancestors came one after another. The first mate began to turn the rudder on a large scale, and the propulsion nozzle array of the Infinite Frontier began to spit flames violently.

The battlecruiser rushed forward, and the remaining Imperial warships around it also began to charge, and countless streams of fire gathered into a shining sun.

The Imperial Navy began to charge forward, the light spear array and heavy artillery began to roar, countless firepower bombarded into the Tyranid fleet from the front, and dense torpedo rain was launched from the ships of the Imperial warships.

Waves of explosions lit up in the Tyranid fleet, but all those beasts rushed forward without hesitation. The destroyer formation in front of the fleet was hit and exploded by the Tyranid biological ship, and the dazzling flames lit up the entire Infinite Frontier's bridge.

"This is suicide! This is crazy! I can't execute this order!" Someone shouted desperately in the fleet communication band. Cole looked to the side of the fleet and a Moon-class cruiser began to leave the Imperial Navy attack formation.

Cole frowned at the ship. He turned on the communication band with the ship, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Commissar, carry out the mission." "As the Emperor wishes!"

The sound of gunfire echoed in the band. After a moment, the ship returned to the offensive echelon of the Imperial Navy. Cole slid back to the communication band with Vito and shouted at the top of his voice, "Charge!"

"Okay!" Vito also shouted, as if they could really transmit each other's voices through the cold space. Vito pushed the joystick hard, and the Skyhawk roared out like lightning and rushed through countless Imperial warships and biological ships. The Thunderhawk followed behind it and dodged, sprinted and fired continuously with superb driving skills.

Thunder's turbo bomb cannons kept roaring, and the flying beasts in front of them that were flying like a swarm between the fleets of both sides were smashed and exploded.

Vito drove the Skyhawk past the side of an Imperial cruiser. The giant ship passed by the Tyranid bio-ship at the same level, and the macro cannons on the side roared. Vito and the Death Watch rushed under the roaring ship guns and bombs, and dense explosions flashed on their side.

The close-range space fight was vividly displayed before their eyes. The Imperial Navy pierced into the Tyranid fleet like a sharp blade, but its number was too small. Not piercing an inch was accompanied by terrible losses and casualties.

The explosion of the warship and the disintegration of the Tyranid ship floated and spread in space. The Skyhawk and the Thunderhawk followed closely and passed through this space meat grinder. The Thunderhawk followed the Skyhawk and rose up. They almost whizzed past the upper part of an Imperial warship.

The Tyranid bio-cannon bombarded one side of the warship, and the void shield was ineffective under the siege of dozens of bio-ships! The warship disintegrated and exploded, and clouds of fire rose from around the two fighters. The Gothic church and the spire collapsed and disintegrated. The explosion of the macro cannon instantly cut off the entire warship.

Cole looked at the biological ships around him. Those biological beasts attacked from all directions. Their tentacles and biological cannons bombarded the void shield of the Infinite Frontier. The flashing shield was suddenly pierced after an attack. Tyran's biological shells hit the hull directly.

The violent explosion shook the entire warship. Cole crashed and fell to the side of the bridge. Many people fell heavily to the ground. Cole cursed and leaned on the handrail and punched the surface.

"Captain! The warp is churning! The storm of destruction is coming!" Ms. Astropath yelled in a crazy tone. Cole climbed up in confusion and stumbled back to the operating platform. "Ms. Oriya, what are you talking about?" "The power of destruction is approaching! Destruction is coming!" "Speak human language! And we are going to be finished! Killed by Tyranid!" "No! Captain is the power of the warp! It's the cracks of chaos! Ahhhhhhhh!"

The Astropath screamed hideously in the end. Cole looked outside the bridge and saw countless warp cracks above them and the biological fleet.

Purple lightning shot out from it, and Cole looked at the crack in surprise, "Navigator! What happened to the warp shadow!" "Ah!!!" "Answer me!" "Power! The power of destruction tore a crack! The shadow was destroyed! Ah!"

They were going crazy. It was the influence of the warp and it was very severe. "Is it the Chaos Fleet?" "No!"

A voice shouted, as majestic as steel. The voice suddenly appeared from the communication frequency band and tore apart everything.

A row of warships suddenly jumped out of the crack. It was a huge space fleet, and each warship had a black cross on it.

"Black Templar!" Cole shouted, "No need for mercy! No need for regret! No need for fear!"

"In the name of Dorn! We will bring down the wrath of thunder!"

The Black Templar Fleet immediately launched a storm-like offensive. Countless heavy artillery, light spears and bombardment cannons ruthlessly cut into the battlefield from overhead. The Tyran Fleet was dismembered and collapsed under the attack from overhead.

Vito looked up at the fleet in the Skyhawk and smiled, "Thank you, Lily." Vito flipped the Skyhawk over and let it pass under a biological ship.

He drove the fluid longship straight towards a biological mothership with ordinary weapons in the chaos, and Thunder followed behind and rushed towards the biological ship together.

Vito pulled the trigger suddenly, and two small proton torpedoes suddenly popped out from both sides of the Skyhawk. The two torpedoes whistled and hit the shell of the biological ship, and the small scale armor was blown out with a small gap.

Vito rushed over and rushed directly to the biological ship. He pulled the trigger again and the hot melt beams from several launch ports simultaneously converged on the flesh under the gap. The Sky Eagle rushed into the flesh pit opened by the hot melt, and the Thunder Eagle also rushed in without hesitation.

Cole was right, this was a stupid idea.
