Warhammer Inquisitor Chapter 397

  Chapter 397 Expedition Road: Admiral Speyer

The blood-red chaos cruiser spewed flames and sailed forward. The dense artillery fire around its entire hull was pouring out in all directions, and the huge firepower turned into a deafening roar roaring in the silent vacuum of the universe. The shells fired from the macrocannon spun and hit the imperial frigate passing by.

The frigate, which was much smaller than the cruiser, instantly broke its shield under the neat shelling of the macro guns. The void shield disappeared into the background of the galaxy after a flicker, and the flying rotating warhead pierced through its outer armor. The roaring shells exploded instantly on the inside of the deck, engulfing hundreds of sailors on this deck in the blink of an eye.

The flames swept across the hull, setting off successive explosions inside the armor. The structural layers of the ship collapsed and exploded in the flying shattering. The entire battleship turned into a burning ball of fire in the blink of an eye. In just one minute, tens of thousands of Imperial Navy crew members disappeared into the universe, and they didn't even have time to let out a cry of grief.

   But their deaths were not meaningless. When the Chaos cruiser bombarded their hulls, it ignored it. It was not the only strong one, and it must pay the price for this atrocity.

The flashing light beam that lit up in an instant slid through the vacuum, and the roaring beam of light instantly bombarded the shield of the chaos cruiser, and the dazzling fire light instantly illuminated its entire back. In the dazzling light, the void shield tenaciously Supporting the destructive bombardment, but as the second luminous pillar shot, the shield surface was shattered under the bombardment of its spearhead.

The shining spear of light pierced through the fragile curtain of the void shield and bombarded the back of the battleship at once. The roaring beam of light pierced through its armor layer and quickly swept away on the back. In the blink of an eye, countless armor Layers burst and surged, and raging fire burst out from below.

The battleship was like a walker stabbed by a dagger, with dazzling blood spraying from its body. The raging flames shot out from between the armor cut by the flashing beam of light on its back, and the soaring pillar of fire shot out from the outward armor. The rift rushed into the curtain of the universe.

The Chaos cruiser suddenly slowed down, and the back of the entire hull set off an explosion and flying burning debris. The beam of light swept across the central axis of his back, and countless buildings collapsed instantly. At the same time, another beam of light Roaring towards it, it instantly pierced through the center of its hull from its side.

The shining beam of light pierced through all the structural layers with incomparable precision, and pierced through all the decks. A spear blasted into the reactor deep below it. The surging heart of the warship was pierced by a spear. One side was shot and exploded instantly, and the plasma explosion tore apart the battleship in the blink of an eye, and the instant explosion blew it into countless flying fiery fragments.

The raging flames were burning in the universe, and the broken cult logo was floating in the vacuum of the universe. It was flying on the edge of the sea of ​​flames, and suddenly a huge figure appeared in the fire cloud behind it. Then it rushed out of the raging fire in an instant, and the golden eagle statue that broke through the clouds hit the cult symbol, crushing it instantly.

The huge monster rushed out of the flames, and the shining spear turret on the tall ship lit up again, and the shining beam of light shot into the distance in an instant. With the flying of the golden light, the macro-cannon array under the huge beam of light quickly fired a volley , accompanied by a roar roaring through the cosmic veil, the spinning shells blew up a Chaos Destroyer passing by.

Amidst the raging flames, the gigantic battleship continued to spit flames forward. It rushed through the fire cloud, releasing countless dense bullet rains from both sides of its body. The missiles rose into the sky and mercilessly bombarded the surrounding enemy ships.

The battleship sailed through the sea of ​​flames, but at the other end of the curtain of flames, purple lightning clouds suddenly jumped in the background of the universe, and a portal torn apart from reality suddenly split open on the background of the galaxy, roaring Lightning jumped out of it, and under the bombardment of the arc, a giant ship slowly sailed out of it.

The giant ship with a gray steel skull head carved roared out of the portal. On its back, a roaring bombardment gun raised its muzzle and fired a shot. The roaring shells hit After hitting the accompanying ship on the side of the imperial battleship, the sword-class frigate instantly exploded into a rainstorm of flying steel.

The Iron Skull battleship slowly passed through the portal, and a large piece of teleportation lightning was lit up around it. The portals were torn from the curtain of the physical universe one by one. In the beating storm of destruction, a A chaotic battleship sailed into the curtain of the physical universe.

   "Admiral Speyer! The bird divination prayer radar has detected a large jump signal! It is the support fleet of Chaos, the reinforcement fleet of the Iron Warriors!"

The first officer on the bridge shouted loudly in front of the instrument that was constantly disturbed by garbled characters, and the machine servant beside him was twitching his limbs constantly, chanting data parameters with unclear meanings in vague and crazy words, its transformation The brain has been almost driven crazy by the instantaneous warp jump impact.

No, he's already gone mad. To be precise, he exploded. The servitor next to the computer convulsed and burned his brain. The data pipes around his head exploded. Under the broken cables flying around, The head of the machine servant who was emitting thick smoke suddenly fell on his back to the ground.

The first officer dodged sideways, avoiding the wreckage of the fallen machine servant. The first officer looked at the smoking servant, and instantly several servant skulls flew down from the dome of the bridge. The mechanical arm at the end The machine servant aimed at the ground sprayed fire spray around it.

The first mate, then turned his head suddenly and looked towards the direction of the throne not far behind him. Sitting on the throne illuminated by the pale light, the admiral, who was a bit old but still extremely resolute, raised his head. , his red mechanical eyes calmly looked at the countless lit portals outside the front window.

Speyer stood up, and the blue navy captain's coat shook as he stood up. He strode through the pale light and walked to the steps on the edge of the high captain's platform, looking at the road above his head. The incomparably huge Chaos Space Marine battleship is flying out of the portal, like a huge whale jumping out of the sea.

"Captain Bird, recognize the jump signal. I want to know how many enemy ships have entered the battlefield immediately." Speyer turned his head and looked at Chief Bird beside him with his hands behind his back. Sitting there, Captain Bird had almost completed half-body mechanical transformation , and quickly clicked on the surrounding ring-shaped platforms with the multiple mechanical arms on his body.

His eyes quickly scanned the terminal screen in front of him, his fingers jumped rapidly on the surrounding screens, and the mechanical keyboard echoed crisply in the knocking sound, "The thinker engine recognized the fleet-level jump, benevolent emperor Your Majesty, we have a whole fleet of Chaos Space Marines leaping into battle ahead of us!"

"Keep calm, Captain Bird, you are an officer of the Imperial Navy, not a cadet seaman." Speyer said in calm water, as if he hadn't noticed the terrifying scene above his head at all, and the big man in front of him The deputy looked up at the teleportation stargate above his head, and the entire Chaos fleet was jumping into the battlefield.

Speyer also raised his head. He stood under the flash of artillery fire and the teleportation stargate, and calmly stared at the battlefield above his head with his red mechanical right eye, "Fleet status report, first officer, report the current situation immediately .”

The first officer was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and looked calmly. The captain who stood under the gunfire without even shaking his fingers immediately looked at the terminal beside him, and his fingers slid the scarlet roster on it. .

   "The Gothic fleet has suffered heavy losses! Although we have destroyed an enemy several times larger than our own, the fleet has already lost one-third of the fleet, and almost the same number of warships have suffered serious battle damage, and will soon lose their ability to sail."

"That means I only have one-third of the fleet available, which is just right." Speyer said calmly, looking around the explosion flames outside the window with a watery face. It was the imperial warships jumping around. The scene of the explosion under the attack of Chaos reinforcements entering the battlefield.

The raging fire impacted on the shields on both sides of the bridge, and the huge shock spread throughout the entire giant ship. Suddenly, a huge explosion roared on the dome of the bridge, and an explosion occurred immediately in the bridge of the battleship. There was a huge shock that made it almost impossible to stand still. The first officer was shaking the whole body while holding the terminal in front of him.

He encouraged himself to stand still, put his hands in front of the terminal in front of him for consultation, and the flickering screen showed a horrified expression, "Admiral, the flank of the hull was hit by a volley of chaotic warships, and the void shield lost 36% of its strength, leaving only 40% Available."

"Recharge, gunnery commander, adjust the firepower of the ship, and destroy the enemy on the side." Speyer said calmly to the fire control team on one side, he raised his hand and slashed like a long sword. He chopped it out, and as his arm swung, the fire control officer on the side also immediately completed the programming. With the sudden knock of the OK button, the image of the weapon array on the screen quickly rotated.

The light spear turret on the top of the ship turned slowly, and as Speyer pointed at the porthole on the side of the bridge, several light spear turrets ignited instantly, and nearly ten flickering beams of light roared out towards the porthole of the bridge. Shoot at the Chaos Battleship flying by.

The Chaos cruiser passing by was hit by the light spear, and its entire hull side was hit by the light spear neatly. The void shield flickered and disappeared in the blooming light in the blink of an eye. Speyer gently raised it. The arm then fell down like a slash, "Macro gun, salvo."

Following Speyer's order, an astonishing scene happened in front of the gunnery commander. His fingers were just about to execute the captain's order and he pressed the launch button, but the button fell by itself, and the surging machine soul power instantly After waking up, the whole row of macro cannons roared instantly.

A whole row of cannonballs whizzed out in the direction of Speyer's arm, and they flew towards the chaotic cruiser, turning into a rapidly expanding fan-shaped plane on the disk of the universe, and the flying macro The cannonball hit the cruiser's side all at once, and a swift explosion exploded on its body, flying large pieces of steel wreckage in the raging flames.

Speyer looked at the disintegrated Chaos Cruiser in the distance, and suddenly there was another explosion above his head. Spier raised his head to look at the alarm light that was instantly lit above his head, and the harsh siren sounded instantly throughout the bridge. Speyer turned his head slowly, looking at the French windows of the bridge ahead.

The first officer stood in front of the data screen, watching the rapidly approaching red light spots on it. As the large area of ​​light spots approached, another explosion exploded around the bridge. The first officer shook his whole body violently and stared at it. Looking at the terminal in front of him, "Admiral, the Chaos Assault Fleet is approaching! The strength of the Void Shield is only 10% left!"

"We can't bear the next round of salvo! We must retreat to the open land immediately, my lord!" The first officer raised his head and shouted at Speyer, but his captain stood calmly on the high position, calmly He stared forward intently, without even blinking his eyes at the three fast destroyers rushing forward.

They spewed raging fire, rushing forward like light cavalry rushing forward to hunt down a fallen elephant. The leading destroyer quickly fired a neat salvo of torpedoes, and the flashing torpedoes roared and hit Spiel. Outside the window in front of Er, the almost dim shield lit up again, saving the entire crew.

"Intensity 5%! My lord!" The first officer looked at the screen in front of him and shouted loudly, but his captain remained motionless. Speyer raised his head slightly as he watched the three speeding warships. Wanting to say something but stopped, Admiral Speyer just raised his head and looked to the side of the bridge window.

Seeing the captain's strange behavior, the first officer raised his head and looked in that direction in surprise. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the burning fire cloud above the bridge. There are three silver-gray space fighter strike barges, which spew raging fire and whizzed past the astrolabe.

The terminal thrusters of the space warrior battleship ignited at full speed, flying around from the upper side of the bridge, the battle shield emblem on the bow was the shark logo, and was immediately illuminated by the salvo of macro cannons. Under the flickering flames, the shells of the macro artillery roared out and fell neatly from the air.

The dense artillery shells shot from the air immediately hit the extremely fast-moving assault ship, and the three fast-moving destroyers suddenly exploded into a flying flame in the air, and the steel wreckage rushed forward from the fire cloud, with rolling waves. The flames hit the shield outside the bridge.

The first officer subconsciously squatted down under the impact, and then saw three space fighter warships whizzing past in front of him. They whizzed past the bridge, and headed towards the huge chaos that leaped into the battlefield at the front. The flagship rushed away.

Speyer also looked at the space warrior battleships arranged in a triangle and passing over the bridge of the battleship side by side. He frowned slightly and the skulls of the servants flew over quickly, as if they knew what Spier was going to do. It seems to project a huge holographic image outline.

The first mate stood in front of the terminal and turned around slowly, and saw a huge figure appearing from the holographic image, it was an incomparably huge giant, a space warrior, no, he was taller than any space warrior, and Bigger, even bigger than all the Space Marines the mate had ever seen wearing the same Terminator.

It was a majestic giant wearing a huge Terminator armor. He stood beside the captain. His physique was so huge that the holographic image beams projected by the servo skull suspended around him could not truly display his figure. Coming out, the upper half of his tall body was almost flickering in garbled characters.

  Speyer raised his head and looked up at the extremely huge giant beside him, "Tiberos Chapter Commander, you and your fighters are trying something crazy."

   "Your fleet has already suffered heavy losses, and it is no longer possible to stop the advance of the Chaos traitors, Admiral, and you must save enough vitality for the subsequent defense battle, so we must end the war."

The chapter leader wearing the huge Terminator power armor said so in a cold voice, as if the words came from the icy void itself, he slowly clenched the huge lightning snare with his right fist, above the iron fist A bright arc dances.

"I will lead the two companies of the Shark Squad to rush to the Chaos battleship to attack. We will sweep up the traitors on the ship, overload the battleship's subspace engine, and detonate it to create a subspace vortex. Inhale the surrounding Chaos warships into it."

The first officer was startled when he heard that, and he raised his head to look at Admiral Speyer, who also had the same thought and stared at the Tiberos Chapter Commander whose face was dancing and flickering in the garbled threads of light, "This is a suicide plan. Your warships cannot stay on the sidelines for long. They will either be destroyed by the huge chaos fleet around them, or they can only be forced to evacuate. No matter what the result is, you will be trapped in it and explode along with the battleships." .”

"That's it." The leader of the Tiberos Chapter put down his iron fist, and faced the threat of death without even a trace of hesitation in his words. His words were calm and natural, as if it was nothing worth mentioning at all. .

   "If Father Void blesses us, we can drag enough traitors to be buried together before we usher in the end, and that's enough."

Father Void, that is the unique name of the sharks to the emperor. The first officer knew the meaning of the chapter leader, and the words could not be clearer. Admiral Speyer silently looked up at the face of the chapter leader. The faces flickering in the void couldn't see anything. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Speyer turned his head and looked at the huge Chaos Fleet jumping into the arena ahead.

"Then I will see you off, gather the fleet, and advance at full speed." Speyer looked forward and said majesticly. The burly giant beside him nodded slightly to him, and said the last words to him with respect. bless.

   "May Father Void guide your course, Admiral." "May the Emperor bless you, Chapter Master."

The image of the chapter leader disappeared in the bridge after a flash. Speyer stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back and looked at the battlefield ahead. The first officer below him looked at the display interface in front of him. After a little hesitation, He turned his head and looked worriedly at Speyer, "Admiral, other ships are fighting with the Chaos fleet, no one can get out and go forward with us."

"Then let us go forward alone, Captain Bird, concentrate all the energy of the void shield on the bow of the ship, and the whole ship advances at full speed!" Standing on the high platform, Speyer shouted loudly, his voice seemed to inject surging power into the battleship , and inside everyone here, the first officer took a deep breath and cleared away all the fear in his heart, and raised his eyes to look directly at the Chaos Fleet ahead.

"The admiral ordered! Go forward at full speed! Break through the traitor's line of defense!" The first mate roared loudly. Following his voice, the starlight outside the window and the floating burning wreckage began to quickly pass backwards, and the huge battleship ignited the rear side. The plasma thrusters rushed towards the Chaos Fleet jumping in front with raging fire.

The huge giant ship rushed out under the simultaneous ignition of the heavy propellers behind it and the auxiliary thrusters on its abdomen, its speed increased suddenly, and the whole body of the giant ship released intensive artillery fire to the surroundings, quickly Rushed over, bumped headfirst into the floating wreckage in front of him, and rushed out of the raging fire.

The Chaos Battleship circling in front of them quickly spotted them. Destroyers and cruisers quickly gathered forward. They circled the front of the Chaos Battleship and aimed their sides at the rushing Spies. On the Er battleship, a huge macro gun muzzle popped out from behind the gun mantlet.

   "Admiral! We are locked!" The gunnery commander shouted loudly while sitting in front of the huge screen, but Speyer on the high platform behind him stared straight ahead with his tough eyes, "Keep the course."

One side of the chaos battleship surrounded by formations fired rapidly, and a whole row of macro cannons lit up and roared at the same time. The roaring shells and light spears shot directly at the imperial battleship rushing forward. The shield in front of the bridge was instantly lit up, and the dazzling fire engulfed all corners of the bridge, erasing all shadows from here.

"The strength of the void shield has plummeted!" The first officer shouted loudly standing under the steps where Speyer was, but the admiral behind him remained calm, looking straight ahead and frowning suddenly, "Keep on the course, artillery Long, extinct warheads loaded into launch tubes."

"Yes, Admiral!" The gunnery commander directly executed the order without any doubt or even thinking. He quickly loaded the system, and a rotating Inquisition I letter flashed on the interface in front of him. Looking at the password bar at the bottom of the interface for a long time, he turned around and looked up at the general.

   "Admiral, authorize the password!" "Admiral Speyer, the commander-in-chief of the Gothic fleet, authorized the reloading of the extermination order, and all weapons should be reloaded immediately."

Speyer's eyes were still looking straight ahead, he raised his hand and stretched out the palm of the servo skull that flew down from the side, the servo skull floating around cast a shining green scanning beam around Spyer, the light path from above He quickly slid across his whole body, and the servo skull beside him quickly flew around after scanning the pattern of Speyer's palm.

The locked interface in front of the gunnery commander was unlocked, and he immediately turned around and tapped his fingers on the keyboard quickly, countless lines of parameter codes and running programs instantly appeared on the huge screen, and countless scrolling loading bars one by one Arranged down, and all loaded in a very short time.

   "Weapons fully loaded! Waiting for orders!"

The gunnery chief roared, and at the same time there was another violent explosion and vibration from the front bridge window, the entire dome of the bridge trembled under the huge explosion, and a large cloud of dust fell from the top of the head, In the falling dust, the first officer raised his eyes and looked at the interface in front of him.

   "The strength of the void shield is 2%!" "Continue to maintain the route."

   There was another burst of shelling, "1% strength is about to break the shield!"

While the chief mate shouted, he didn't see the flames outside the window quickly gliding to the sides as the battleship advanced rapidly. In the center of the dimly flickering shield, the Chaos Fleet that was already close at hand was exposed. He rushed to the front of the Chaos army.

"Turn the propellers to fire at full power, and make an emergency turn!" Speyer shouted loudly, his eyes staring forward. His words sounded directly from the brain nerves of the battleship, and the scenery outside the window quickly slid aside almost in the blink of an eye. And then, there was also a huge swinging force inside the bridge as the sky spun.

The gunnery commander sat in his seat, holding on to the counter so that he would not be thrown out of the chair, but the other people on the bridge were not so lucky, and many of them were thrown to the ground. He even flew out of the chair he was sitting on, but unlike everyone else, Speyer, who was standing on the ground, remained motionless.

He stared at the Chaos Fleet flashing past outside the window, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the side window, where the Chaos Fleet had been thrown into the window frame, as if caught in the sight, Si Pyle suddenly raised his arm and slashed down to the side. He calculated the gap between the Chaos Fleet after a salvo, and this moment is now!

"Gunner, fire all the extermination warheads!" Speyer slammed his arm off, and he roared loudly to give the order. The gunner who was sitting on the chair by the side of the porthole immediately got up, and he swung his fist violently. He hit the data tablet in front of him, and his fist landed on the constantly beating red exclamation mark.

The fist hit the table with a roar, and it was quickly transmitted from the table to the wall below, and along the cable in the data pipeline, it was transmitted into the dark gun barrel below like lightning. Suddenly, the fist The knocking sound turned into a real roar, the flames lit up instantly, and the spinning warhead roared out.

   On the side of the battleship, a whole row of launching tubes shot out dazzling flames, that is a whole row of torpedo torpedoes, proton missiles and virus bombs! All the extermination weapons on the entire battleship, the warheads that can destroy the entire galaxy, were fired in an instant, and flew towards the Chaos Fleet at the side at close range.

"The helmsman! Raise the main thruster at ninety degrees! Ignite it with full power!" Speyer turned his head and looked into the battleship and shouted loudly. The incredible miracle happened again. The helmsman reached out to the pull rod on the side, but the thing slipped down by itself. Going down, the helmsman watched in amazement that all the operating levers around him started to move by themselves.

The rear plasma thruster of the giant ship turned instantly following Speyer's roar, the huge plasma thruster turned rapidly, the jet port instantly lifted up and hit the boundary at the uppermost corner, the turbo blades spread around, and the huge plasma flame The jet burst out and turned into a huge tongue of flame piercing the sky.

The battleship quickly dived downward under the rapid propulsion, and it fell from the row of chaos fighters in front of it. While falling rapidly, the warships were extinct, and the warheads whizzed up one after another, hitting those chaos fighters. On his shield, dozens of extermination orders exploded at the same time.

A huge explosion occurred in the front of the Chaos fleet in an instant. The powerful shock wave and fire cloud instantly shattered the shields of all the outermost Chaos battleships. Their side armor shattered and collapsed in the impact. Under the powerful shock wave, it flew backwards and hit the battleship further back.

  A soaring cloud of explosive fire rose from the universe, and the shining cloud of flame could be seen even several light-years away, just like a newborn sun.

A strong shock wave also crashed down from above, and the aftermath of the explosion hit the back of the battleship. The entire countless outer buildings broke and collapsed in the wind in an instant, and the flying wreckage swept across the side of the battleship, knocking down the angel standing on it. The statue broke, and the golden head hit the side of the bridge window and flew over.

Spyer bent down, stood in the great shock and looked up. He saw three Space Marine strike barges roaring overhead, spraying fire from both sides of the rising explosion cloud. However, after converging inward, they pierced the huge Chaos Battleship like a spear.

There was no cover in front of the huge ship, and all the Chaos **** fleets were flying horizontally in the explosion of the extinction order. Above the warship fragments and hulls flying all over the sky, the man-eating shark fleet roared past, as if they were holding spears The knight rushed towards the huge monster.

Speyer looked at the scene above his head, he frowned and looked at the roaring Space Marine fleet, "I will help you deal with the surrounding enemy ships, Captain Tiberos, now you can retreat safely , Next, it's up to you, may the emperor bless you.”

The first officer at the bottom of the Speyer steps got up from the ground, he glanced at the display screen beside him inadvertently, he looked away and then looked away, but just moved away and looked back suddenly, " Admiral! The transition signal has been detected!"

"Chaotic?" Speyer frowned and looked at it immediately, but the first officer under him who stood up and supported the screen shook his head in shock. He raised his eyes to look at the space above, "No, it's ours. , the Imperial Navy, but that ship... the Merciful Emperor."

Speyer raised his head in surprise, and he looked at the void above his head. The three battleships of the Man Eater Shark rushed towards the huge ship that was close at hand, but at the moment when they were almost close to the limit distance of the jump gang, their A huge teleportation gate instantly appeared in front of him, and a new giant ship jumped out of the gate at a faster speed than all warships.

The giant ship jumped out from the front of the space warrior battleship. The captains of the chapter were startled, and pulled up in a straight line at the distance that the giant ship was about to hit. Three strike barges flew up beside the magnificent battleship. It almost rubbed against the armor of the battleship, colliding with a dazzling spark.

The majestic battleship shone with a layer of void shield brighter than Chaos and Imperial battleships. The light spear above its head locked and fired almost in the blink of an eye, and shot the roaring beam of light at the Chaos giant ship on the side, exploding It happened instantly on him in the blink of an eye.

   "Admiral, according to the beacon stamp, the ship is called"

   "Imperial Fantasy." Speyer said, looking up at the side of the majestic giant ship above, looking at the name of the ship behind the roaring Lightning Eagle's huge wings.
