Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 396

  Chapter 396 Expedition Road: The Burning Sea of ​​Stars

   "All pilots on board at once, repeat, all pilots on board at once."

The battle broadcast accompanied by harsh sirens reverberated overhead, and the constantly flashing red light illuminated the vast and busy deck, shining on the heads of the pilots running around, and the Lightning Fighter Lieutenant Pilot Scruz quickly rushed across the deck, He rushed quickly between the ground crew who kept running past all around.

The lieutenant and a group of pilots beside him rushed onto the deck. After they collided with each other with their flying helmets in their hands, they rushed towards their fighter plane. Scruz passed by on the chaotic deck, quickly carrying the oil pipeline, ammunition Quickly passed between the box and the ground crew pushing the cart.

He came to his own fighter plane, which was a silver fighter plane with wide and shaped wings, and a woman in a gorgeous dress was spouting from the nose. She was sitting on a red star, holding a super large-caliber shotgun in her hand, As huge as the cannon hanging under the wing just beside her.

Scruz quickly climbed up the hanging ladder, and flipped into the cockpit of the fighter plane. He sat on the seat sunken inward, and quickly clicked his fingers on the video screen in front of him, following the movement of the lieutenant's fingers. As soon as the buttons were pressed, all the displays inside the cockpit lit up.

The lieutenant quickly inspected the screen in front of him, and several servo skulls flew over beside him. They surrounded the lieutenant, quickly scanning the lieutenant's body with mechanical eyes, and with the green light sweeping across the lieutenant's body, several The skull ticked and roared, and they all flew out.

The skulls quickly flew out in all directions, and the fixed locks clamping the wheels of the fighter under the fuselage of the fighter were also opened with a sound of hitting the ground. Sitting in the cabin, Scruz looked at the unlock icon flashing on the central screen in front of him, and quickly moved the The flying helmet was worn on the head, and as the helmet fell in front of the face, countless display auxiliary mirrors quickly lit up on the inner glass.

With the holographic front sight in the center lighting up, the lieutenant looked down at the countless screens in the cockpit in front of him, and a large number of parameters slid out from the window in the helmet. As those scrolling data disappeared in place, the pilot above the lieutenant's head The cabin glass also fell with a ticking sound.

   "The task of our squadron is to blow up the enemy warships in front of the battleships. Each team will determine the mission goals by themselves after departure. May the emperor bless you."

   "May the Emperor bless you."

   Scruz spoke with countless voices on the helmet's communication channel, and the space around him darkened as the cockpit glass fell.

The single-sided glass quickly covered the cockpit, and the darkness briefly enveloped everything inside, but soon as the surrounding glass became transparent again, it was bathed in light. Scruz sat in the cockpit, wearing a helmet. Turning his head around, he looked around at the chaotic ground deck.

On the side of the deck, a ground crew wearing a yellow vest ran to the runway. He raised his finger and waved to Scruz. After Scruz also gestured to him, the ground crew squatted sideways on the ground. Swinging his arm forward and slamming it forward, the shoulders of the floating holographic direction on the runway beside him lit up.

As all the lights on the runway quickly extended towards the end of the runway, countless light beams flashed at the end, and the exit of flying artillery fire and explosion flashes was also exposed in front of his eyes. Scruz looked at the exit and pushed down the rudder violently .

The jet engine at the end of the fighter plane he was sitting on ignited instantly, and the turbo blades opened and closed up and down to spit out huge flames. Scruz hit the back of the seat due to the recoil, and the surrounding glass also quickly passed the sides of the runway. Blinking line light.

He looked at the rapidly approaching runway exit ahead, put his helmet down from the back of the chair and pressed his hands on the rudder, and with a roaring roar, the fighter jet rushed out of the runway and escaped into a gorgeous dome of the Milky Way outside. .

The Lightning fighter slid out of the flight hatch on the belly of the fighter, and there were countless hatches around it. Countless fighters swarmed out of it like a swarm of bees leaving their nests, spraying bright flames and quickly turned to the side The chaotic battlefield with flying artillery fire roared away.

Scruz was sitting in the cockpit, and his pilot helmet quickly raised his head to look at the battleship that was hit and exploded above his head. The flames tore out from its belly, and the raging fire light illuminated the glass surface of the helmet. Scruz looked at the With the battleship structure collapsing in flames overhead, he pushed the rudder in his hand and quickly rushed under the exploding hull.

His fighter plane quickly flew over the disintegrated warship, and plunged into its burning bow. Scruz looked down at a destroyer below countless warships that were firing fiercely at close range. The dark red battleship with the blasphemous mark is slowly passing under the astrolabe.

  Scruz's eyes were fixed on him, like a vulture staring at its prey, he slammed down the end of the nose, and a dazzling fire was ejected from the end of the fuselage, pushing the fighter down from the top of the space disk.

He leaned back on his driver's seat, staring fixedly at the countless beams of light and intensive artillery fire ahead. They slipped between the battleships on both sides that were firing fiercely at each other at extremely close range, illuminating their shining light. The entire battlefield was lit up, and Scruz was about to pass through the sea of ​​death.

He turned the rudder violently, and the fighter plane rolled around in front of the burning wreckage of the ship, and the small silver fighter plane rushed straight down from the air, passing between the shells and light spears that were constantly shooting around. , aimed at the Chaos Destroyer below and plunged down.

The side of the battleship was hit by a volley of imperial destroyers passing by, and the side macro guns of the battleship were all lit at the same time, and the rapid artillery fire roared towards the Chaos destroyer sailing by. Countless red lights quickly lit up on its body, and a swift explosion engulfed its entire sideways.

The void shield quickly disappeared after flashing, and the entire body of the battleship was exposed to the vacuum. Scruz seized this and rushed up immediately. There was another lightning fighter who seized the opportunity with him. Scruz turned his helmet , looking at the silver fighter that swooped down with him.

Its nose spouted a vulture flying forward, and the number NC-012 was painted on the nose, which made Scruz immediately recognize that he was not a pilot of his own squadron, but it was nothing No matter, they are excellent pilots of the Emperor, and will destroy the Defiled Ship below, full of abominations.

Scruz nodded to him, and then suddenly turned his sense of control to bypass the head of the imperial frigate sailing below. Flames spewed out from the side of the battleship, and the flames erupted from the aerobic corridor of the battleship expanded rapidly. The interior tore through the structural layers of the entire battleship.

Scruz pressed the rudder with one hand, and with the other hand, he pushed up the parallel push lever on the side. The nozzle at the end of the fighter jet ignited quickly, and it pushed Scruz to slide forward in parallel above the burning battleship. , the huge anti-thrust flame made him fly out of the back range of the battleship.

The lieutenant withdrew his hand at once, pressed both hands together on the propellers and pressed forward, and the rear of the Lightning fighter quickly burst into power, amidst the roar of the machine soul, it swooped down from the side of the battleship pouring past, its small fighter was in the air. Under the tumbling flames on the surface of the huge battleship, it looked like a small bug crawling over it.

The Lightning fighter dived down, and the frigate behind it exploded instantly. The burning flames overloaded its reactor with high temperature and then exploded instantly. The violent explosion directly tore the central axis of the battleship, causing the entire giant ship to explode. In the blink of an eye, it exploded into wreckage flying all over the sky.

  Under the flames spreading in the Milky Way, Scruz rushed out from under the fire cloud together with the fighter planes beside him, and rushed straight to the Chaos Destroyer that opened fire fiercely from the side of the ship.

  Looking at the back of the battleship, the Lieutenant pressed his hand on the bomb release button on the side of the control lever, covering the fingertips of the black pilot's gloves, feeling the feeling of its surface shrinking downward.

But suddenly the lieutenant was interrupted by a burst of bombing thoughts, he turned his head and looked aside, his helmet reflected the explosion of a fighter plane that swooped down together, and the body was a burst of fireball in flight , The torn wing flew out all at once, flashing past the lieutenant with tumbling flames.

"What the hell?" said the lieutenant, poking his head out and looking back, and then his eyes under his helmet widened, because he saw two Chaos Horne fighters rolling out of the flames behind him. The scarlet-painted enemy fighter plane chased after the lieutenant, and the machine guns at the nose of the plane fired bright fire instantly.

Scruz raised the joystick abruptly, and the fighter immediately rolled to one side to avoid the roaring artillery fire. Scruz hit the side of the cabin all at once, and raised his eyes in the helmet to look at the rear side of the flight assistance interface. On the screen, I watched the two Khorne fighters chasing behind and firing a series of artillery fire at me.

"My luck today doesn't look very good." The lieutenant smiled wryly and turned the rudder again. He rolled sideways again to avoid the gunfire behind him, and at the same time dodged a piece of wreckage of the battleship flying up from the front. The artillery bombarded the wreckage of the battleship, shooting out a flame that mixed with the burning fire on it.

  Scruz turned his head to look at the Khorne fighter planes chasing behind them. Behind them was the entire galaxy in flames. Countless warships fired salvos at each other on it.

The firelight was projected from the top of the head and shone on Scruz's face. Fortunately, the glass of his pilot's helmet had a light-falling layer, which was not as good as the Chaos cruiser that exploded above his head just now, and the Imperial cruiser that exploded alongside it. The blinding light from the mix was sure to blind his eyes.

  Scruz turned his head, looked at the Chaos Destroyer below and shook his head with a wry smile, "My lord, this may be the craziest thing I've ever done, well, at least it's one of them."

As the lieutenant said, he pressed down the rudder suddenly, and the lightning fighter rushed straight towards the back of the chaotic battleship. The two enemy planes behind him also naturally chased them down. They chased behind the lieutenant and aimed at the fighter ahead and fired fiercely , Scruz quickly turned the rudder, allowing the fighter plane to quickly dodge the incoming artillery fire.

The red armored surface of the battleship quickly approached the cockpit glass, and when he was about to hit it head-on, Scruz suddenly lifted the rudder, and the fighter plane suddenly raised its nose just before hitting the armored surface, changing from a dive to a level flight All of a sudden, it stuck to the back of the battleship at close range and flew over.

The two Chaos fighters also naturally chased after them, and they also raised their noses and swooped down on the back of the battleship. Scruz's eyes watched the two Chaos fighters on the display screen on the back of the helmet, and they aimed at him and fired fiercely. , two flashing red lines came up immediately.

Scruz frowned as he watched the incoming artillery fire, and pushed down the control lever suddenly, and the fighter plane plunged into the inner side of the armor between the central axis of the back of the Chaos battleship, and Scruz flew into the air all at once. Entered the steel rift valley, and rushed quickly between the towering buildings on both sides.

Behind it, the Khorne fighters also rushed in. They spewed scarlet flames and chased after each other. The machine guns on the nose of the Khorne fighters that accompanied them in front and behind quickly lit up the flames, and the roaring gunfire shot from the dark space behind them. , Scruz pressed the rudder to one side, then lifted it up suddenly, and the fighter jumped up instantly, tumbling in the air and dodging the shells fired from behind.

The fuselage of the lieutenant's fighter was instantly lit up by shiny gunfire. It was not only the barrage of fire from the Khorne fighter behind him, but also the intensive fire of the automatic cannons on the buildings on both sides aimed at the top of the head. Between the towering buildings around, a rapid-fire artillery with a rotating door opened violently, and in the meantime, missiles with flashing dots rained from the buildings.

And Scruz was flying between them quickly, his fuselage turned sideways and flew under a light spear that slowly raised the long gun barrel, and the huge gun barrel was turned and aligned. In the airspace on the side, a giant light beam shining like a star instantly lit up and illuminated the entire steel rift valley.

Scruz flew over from under the gun barrel, and the two Khorne fighters behind him followed in hot pursuit. They passed the shining light spear cannon together, and the Khorne fighters below it Also changing positions, the two fighter planes flew up and down in parallel, firing a violent barrage forward together.

The incoming artillery fire almost hit Scruz. Stepping in this narrow steel rift, Scruz didn't have much room to dodge. He knew that his chances were numbered, and the two enemy planes behind him would not Give yourself a chance to hide.

"May the emperor bless you, now is the time to do crazy things." Scruz raised the nose of the plane suddenly as he said, he flew up from the steel rift, and the two enemy planes behind him also rushed out naturally, chasing after him. behind him.

Scruz slipped through the rotating turrets on the surface of the building, and he almost flew past the dense artillery fire, looking for every available gap between the grids of death, Struz screamed It flew past the dense missiles flying from below, and got under the shells whistling overhead.

His eyes were fixed on the two enemy planes behind the helmet interface. They were chasing after them, constantly changing their postures and firing fiercely in their own direction. There were sparks on the surrounding automatic turrets and towering armored buildings.

The lieutenant looked at the light spear that raised the muzzle in front of it. Its three towering cannon barrels rose slowly, and a row of armor baffles were exposed under the rotating base. Scruz frowned and pressed down suddenly. The operating lever whizzed away, and he turned sideways to pass between the barrels of the two raised rapid cannons, and rushed towards the end of the light spear.

Strutz pressed the trigger on the control lever, and the cannons on both sides of the fighter jet fired rapidly. The rapid artillery fire whizzed away and hit the exposed armor baffle at the end of the lance turret, and the narrow armor layer was shot out. Under the narrow gaps, flickering energy pipelines were exposed.

Scruz looked at the gap and rushed up. It quickly rotated the fuselage, and the long flame pulled by the jet behind it swirled into a long swirling light in the air. The moment he rushed over and flew to the side of the spear turret, Strutz pressed the red bomb button on the side of the handle with his palm.

With a ticking sound, the armored hatch on the belly of the fighter quickly slid open to both sides, and a mechanical arm attached to the torpedo protruded from it. The six torpedoes hanging above ignited instantly and shot out with a roar. The warhead passed under the Strutz's nose.

The torpedo shot towards the gap below the light lance with its bright fire tail. They rotated the projectile, driving the dazzling fire from the end to penetrate into the crack at the end of the light lance, and the two sides of the torpedo scraped against the gap The sawtooth on the upper and lower edges rubbed off a spark on the projectile body.

  The directional fin at the end of the torpedo broke off at the opening of the crack, but the torpedo body crashed into it, and the flashing red explosive part hit the energy pipe.

The explosion happened instantly, and a huge explosion exploded from the lower part of the light lance. The bottom of the entire turret was instantly torn apart. The turret swayed around and collapsed, and the towering gun barrel crashed into the battleship. All of a sudden, countless automatic cannons were smashed into falling wreckage.

The energy pipes under the light spear exploded one by one, and the rapid chain reaction led to an astonishing effect. The plasma flame was released from the bottom of the turret instantly, directly blasting the main body of the entire light spear turret, and it flew and hit the battleship. The surface of the deck tumbling for a while, and behind him, a surging blue flame also swept across the entire deck surface.

The energy pipe exploded in an instant, and the wave of destruction caused by it spread across the lower layer of the armor, affecting all the surrounding turrets in the blink of an eye, including the ammunition racks of the automatic guns, and the opened torpedo and missile launch ports. A violent explosion followed.

  The raging fire tore apart the back of the entire battleship from below. Explosion clouds rose from countless buildings, the armor was blown away, and fierce flames that tore apart the hull erupted, like an exploding volcano.

The explosion that churned from below instantly rose and engulfed the two Khorne fighters that were chasing after them. They were hit by the armor blown up from below, and the fighters rolled and lost their balance and hit the deck, turning into countless A small part of the monstrous fire that exploded together.

Scruz looked at the violent explosions rising around him, he slammed down the rudder, and the fighter jet roared and spun forward, passing through the flying armor wreckage, turret fragments and raging fire, Struz rushed into it with astonishing skills. The turbulent waves of destruction whizzed past the steel wreckage and the blood of the fire.

The lightning fighter rushed out from the front end of the destroyer. He flew past an automatic gun, and after it flew by, the turret was also affected by the explosion. The huge explosion directly lifted the turret into the air. Tumbling and spinning in the gravity-free vacuum of the galaxy.

Strutz turned his head to look at the exploding destroyers behind him. His whole body was exploding amazingly, and the other two light spears on his back were also killed in the explosion. The soaring flames tore his body apart. The body, the huge hull shattered like a crumbling sand dune.

Its structural wreckage sprayed out in all directions with raging fire, and finally the reactor exploded to draw a pause for it. The hull exploded from the center, and the whole was torn into countless pieces that flew away, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire area. piece of Milky Way night sky.

Looking at the exploding hull behind him, Strutz raised his arms in cheers, and the mouth under his helmet shouted loudly, "Oye! The Emperor bless! The general will send me a star of Terra now!" Already!"

Strutz shouted, his voice echoed under the glass of the cockpit, and the uncontrolled Lightning fighter jet flew across the night sky from jets of flames, it flew past a magnificent golden battleship, the giant ship's A salvo of side macro guns unleashed a fire that illuminated the huge eagle-headed statue on its prow.

The flames of the macro cannon rose, illuminating the belly of the lightning fighter that slid past above, and also illuminating the center of the back of the warship whizzing past, the magnificent building behind the golden statue of the angel holding a spear, the towering church Numerous barrages of bullets rose from the battleship around the building, and missiles pierced the sky like raindrops.

In the flames of the explosion, Struz flew past the huge glass of the church. Below him, under the magnificent church dome, under the pale light above his head, a person raised his head, and his right hand The mechanical prosthetic eyes flashed with a resolute red light.

   "Admiral Speyer, the Gothic fleet is waiting for your command."
