Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor.

Chapter 166 The bloody battle against Menac, although life is humble, it can do more

The Menak dynasty is one of the two strongest Necron dynasties. Before they fell asleep, they were loyal servants of the Silent King, punishing opponents within the Necrons.

Therefore, Menak will inevitably be hostile by other dead spirits. They even plan to jointly cleanse Menak, but they are stopped by the King of Silence.

The Silent King still needs this executioner. In order to protect the faithful eagle dog, the Silent King decided to choose the remote Orpheus as the sleeping place of Menak.

There is another reason that Menak hates ghosts. When they killed the "Flayer" star god, they encountered the Flayer's curse.

This curse made the Necrons extremely thirsty for flesh and blood. Only by devouring the flesh and blood of the living beings and wearing the skin on their bodies can they gain a moment of peace, otherwise they will be tortured by the desire to kill all the time.

During the period of slumber, the curse of the skinner did not dissipate, but became more serious and contagious with the awakening of the Menak Dynasty.

Necrons desire to gain flesh and blood, have souls, and become normal intelligent creatures. However, for Menak, even if the wish comes true, the Curse of the Skinner will still be entangled in him.

So shortly after waking up, the Menak Dynasty fell into a nihilistic spiritual crisis, lost its goal of struggle, and had to instinctively wear skin, devour flesh and blood, and then watched the flesh and blood slip out of the metal skeleton body.

Until the forgotten mistress Xun Bakr woke up, she pointed out a survival goal to the confused dead spirits, which is to continue the cause of 6000 million years ago and cleanse the intelligent life in the territory.

Therefore, they set their sights on the humans in the neighboring Orpheus star area.

The battle barge of the Sentinel Chapter was destroyed, and the huge tomb-class tomb ship rose from the bottom of the crown world, like a huge green moon, exuding the majesty and arrogance of an ancient super civilization.

On other planets in the galaxy, more necromancer warships appeared one after another, about 80 shroud-class light cruisers, and 20 sickle-class cruisers.

With the tomb-class tomb ship as the core, they headed towards Orpheus.

Although the number of them is less than one percent of that of Orpheus, Said still does not dare to take it lightly. A light cruiser may contain the technology to destroy battleships.

As a result, Said gave up using the extinction order on the Crown World, but withdrew the fleet to the border of the Orps sector, and at the same time summoned all the main fleets to gather border reinforcements.

In order to destroy the Necrons, Said gathered an unprecedented fleet, a total of six legions, including tens of thousands of warships ranging from light cruisers to battleships.

The most striking thing is not the huge battleship, but the twenty battle planets, and hundreds of battle moons.

The fleet is mighty and mighty, arriving at the secondary star area on the border, where there are hundreds of imperial planets, outposts and artificial celestial bodies.

These include a forge world of the Mechanicum, the home planet of the Space Marine Chapter, and a series of important strongholds such as the Fortress of the Inquisition.

Said did not want the flames of war to spread to the territory of the empire, so he gave an order, and the huge fleet crossed the border and headed straight for the Crown World of Menak.

The fleet uses the method of short-distance subspace navigation, constantly leaping and jumping out, testing the boundaries of the black stone forbidden area.

Originally in history, hundreds of worlds on the border fell in just a hundred days, and trillions of creatures on them were slaughtered, and communications were blocked. Humans still don't know the true face of the attackers.

But this time is different. The empire has been familiar with the Necrons from top to bottom, and has positioned the crown world, so it is much easier to deal with it.

The space necromancers do not go through the subspace at super-light speed, and they can completely come and go without a trace. If they cannot be defeated, they will run away, but the empire cannot pursue them.

Even if the Imperial fleet repelled the Necromancer fleet, they could still cause great damage to the Empire through guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare.

Therefore, Saeed decided to attack the enemy that must be saved, and the main force directly attacked the main star of Menak, forcing them to fight a decisive battle, buying time for the evacuation of the border sub-star region.

Said decided to give up the vast strategic depth just like the original history, and put the second decisive battle in Amara, the capital of the star area. The only difference is that all humans in the rest of the area were withdrawn.

The empire has never fought against the Necrons, and Said decided to be strict with the enemy, shrinking the force of the star area to gather the strongest force.

Necrons are not green-skinned chaos, they only purify life, not destroy planets, let alone human backward machines, as long as they are repelled, the planet will return to the empire unscathed.

If you lose, everything will be closed just like history.

But in order to buy time for the evacuation, the expedition to the Crown World fleet must last long enough, Said said in his heart:
"More than 1 warships, hundreds of battle moons, and twenty battle planets, how can they last for several months!"

With trepidation, the huge fleet continued to approach the main star of Meynak, and was quickly discovered by the necromancer detection device.

Finally, during a warp out of space, the fleet was ambushed by the Necrons.

The warp is when the ship is most vulnerable. The void shield is not deployed, the weapon array is not charged, and there is basically no power to fight back.

Said also considered being ambushed, so every time he jumped, he let the light cruiser stand in the front, and after turning on the auspicious instrument to scan for abnormalities, the large troops jumped into the real universe.

However, the Necrons interfered with the auspices of the imperial ships and ambushed around the jump point. When the large army jumped out, they fired at full force instantly.

The arc array, the Gaussian particle whip, etc. are like green lightning bolts, covering the imperial fleet.

In an instant, three battleships, five battlecruisers, ten cruisers, and countless light cruisers were destroyed, and even the battle planet was severely damaged.

The imperial fleet is in a passive state of being beaten, even if the void shield is raised, it can only delay the death by a few breaths.

In front of the necromancer weapon, the void shield is as fragile as paper and will collapse at the touch of a touch. Said can't help but feel the fear of human beings being dominated by water droplets.

Human beings cannot resist the dimensionality reduction blow from higher dimensions and more advanced technology.

In the palace, Said gritted his teeth. Although the loss was heavy, it was still insignificant compared to the huge fleet. He sacrificed the time for the friendly forces to fight back.

At this moment, the light spears have been charged, the macro guns have been loaded, the torpedoes are in place, and the carrier-based aircraft is waiting to be launched. With Said's order, nearly [-] imperial ships are fully fired.

Light spears are like a forest, macro guns are like rain, torpedoes are like a swarm of bees, and carrier-based aircraft are like clouds, enveloping the undead.

The speed of the Necromancer Fleet is relatively slow, but they have the ability to sail with zero inertia, which is equivalent to teleportation. Facing the overwhelming attack of the empire, they don't seem to care.

They remained motionless in place, neither raised their shields, nor started the teleportation of zero-inertia navigation. Only the sickle cruiser released its carrier-based aircraft to fight with the Imperial carrier-based aircraft group, allowing other attacks to fall on the ship.

The light spear arrived first, and bombarded heavily on the Necromancer Warship. Said was surprised to find that the Necromancer Warship had no shield, but a self-healing living metal instead.

Like void shields, living metal has special resistance to energy and radiation, protecting ships from solar flares.

It is not difficult to imagine that if fighting in a solar flare environment, the Necromancer's advantage will be even greater.

Although they have special resistance to light spear energy, there are too few necromancer warships. Nearly a hundred warships were concentrated fire by tens of thousands of warships, and they still suffered a lot of damage.

The living metal hull repaired itself immediately, but Said was not discouraged, because subsequent torpedoes and macro guns would expand the damage and eventually destroy the Necromancer.

The macro cannon arrived later, and the Necromancer battleship was suddenly surrounded by green halos. Many shells lost kinetic energy instantly, and even detonated early, and the torpedoes that followed also suffered the same fate.

After a round of fighting, the necromancer fleet was almost unscathed, while the human fleet lost nearly a thousand warships.

However, Said has already roughly understood the characteristics of the Necromancer Warship: it is powerful in the medium and long range, the number of carrier aircraft is small, the speed is slow, there is no shield, and the protection relies on starlight pulse generators and living metals, and it cannot defend against jumping gangs.

According to the memory of the previous life, it seems to be caused by zero inertia, which has a teleportation effect and makes up for the lack of speed and agility.

At the end of the test, Said also took out his trump card, and sneered in his heart: "You have teleportation, so does the empire!"

After speaking, with a thought, the battle planet and the battle moon disappeared in an instant, appearing in the array of the necromancer fleet, and some of them collided with the necromancer fleet, causing violent explosions.

Before the huge mass of the celestial body, the necromancer warship was easily hit and exploded, the gravity generator was activated, and the movement of the necromancer warship was instantly restricted, and the surface firepower of the celestial body was fully activated.

Countless light spears and macro cannons fired at the Necromancer battleship, and the battle planet released a large number of carrier-based aircraft, swarming towards the Necromancer fleet.

Battle Moon comes from orc technology, orc technology comes from the ancient sages, and the ancient sages are great god civilizations that are more hideous than the necromancers.

When the battle started, Said kept the battle moon hidden in the subspace, until the end of the trial, he suddenly used the subspace teleportation and smashed into the enemy's formation.

The ribs were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and before the starlight pulse force field could be activated, they were hit by a large number of lance missiles and macro artillery, and the battleship suffered casualties for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of carrier-based aircraft raged past, like a cloud, covering the entire fleet, and a large number of missiles and aerial bombs concentrated fire, destroying several warships in an instant.

With a sneer on his face, Said said in his heart, "That's it? Still a great god civilization? A group of fighting celestial bodies abused you! What a waste!"

However, before he could be proud for a few seconds, the forbidden magic force field spread, the void shield disappeared, and countless Tesla arcs were fired, hitting the shield generator with precision in an instant.

The ion shield couldn't resist at all, and the green arc easily penetrated and hit the gravitational generator. In an instant, all the fighting celestial bodies collapsed.

The battle celestial body was completely annihilated, and then starlight pulses were emitted, and the swarm-like carrier aircraft exploded as if they had encountered insecticide.

At this moment, Necrons sent a communication, and a cold mechanical voice said

"Although the combat celestial body is simple, its use is exceptional..."

"I am Markland Kutrach, the commander of the Menak Legion. I respect you for your heroic resistance. Now follow the ancient battle etiquette. You will have two weeks to meet your death..."

"During this period, I will stop attacking. After two weeks, I will clean up the space in front of me and remove the pollution of all living beings!"

Said snorted coldly, and replied: "It doesn't take two weeks, the empire can destroy you now!"

After finishing speaking, he roared: "Nova Cannon! Salvo!"

The Nova Cannon is the second ultimate move that Said prepared for Menak. The battle moon comes from the Orcs, and the Nova Cannon comes from the Eldar, which also belongs to the unique skill of the Old Sage.

In an instant, a full two thousand nova cannons were charged, accelerated the projectiles to the speed of light, and focused their fire on less than seventy battleships.

Now the Necromancer fleet finally couldn't sit still, and immediately launched the inertial engine, and disappeared in place in an instant, avoiding the Nova Cannon.

However, there were still some ships that reacted half a beat too late, were hit by light-speed cannonballs, were shot through instantly, and exploded.

The Meynak fleet seemed to be enraged, and immediately fought back. Countless Tesla arcs and Gaussian particle whips swept across the imperial fleet, breaking through the void shield in an instant, and blasting the imperial warships.

However, there was no anger on Said's face, but he was very happy: "Great, this is enough to prove that the Rib Fleet can also be killed and defeated!"

But he quickly received a report and said: "His Royal Highness, the fleet is being slaughtered, and the morale of the soldiers is low, asking to retreat! They think their death is meaningless!"

Said froze for a moment. At this moment, the Meynak fleet was relying on zero-inertia maneuvering, quickly flashing everywhere, avoiding the aiming of the Nova Cannon, and firing full firepower, unparalleled to slaughter the Imperial fleet.

But despite this, Said still wondered that the morale of the Imperial Navy should not be so low. They have experienced worse situations than this.

But then the captains' reports cleared up the doubts: "Your Highness, we and the mortal soldiers all have hallucinations, which have a great impact on morale!"

Said instantly remembered the spiritual weapon of the Necromancer Battleship: Ancestral Fear!He said coldly:
"Isn't loyalty to the Emperor enough to overwhelm the fear of aliens? Any defeatism and cowardice will be severely punished! Let the commissars go!"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!"

At this time, the war came to the most difficult moment, the necromancer fleet was reduced by more than half, the imperial fleet was slaughtered by Wushuang, the three axes of the necromancer were thrown away, and the empire's killer moves were exhausted, and the rest was a competition of will and endurance.

So Said ordered: "Immediately launch the Tiaobang! Tiaobang torpedoes and assault boats launch!"

The necromancer fleet has no shields, which is just suitable for jumping gangs. In an instant, a large number of Astartes and giant soldiers rushed towards the necromancer battleship, and countless light spears and macro cannons provided cover.

Behind the Astartes, there are many puppets and marines, the number of which is as high as one million.

Said manipulated the puppet, the microphone intervened in the public channel, and the voice resounded in the ears of everyone in the fleet:

"I am Said, Prince of the Empire! Speak to all soldiers of the Imperial Expeditionary Army!"

"After calculation, we are likely to lose this battle, and the great victory of the God Emperor will not appear in your life!"

"However, the enemy's resources are far more important than your lives. Every second you spend fighting the enemy's artillery is consuming the opponent's resources and weakening their strength!"

"Your life is worthless, but you can do more! At this moment, the only meaning of your life is to die, to die resolutely!"

"Today, you will suffer failure and sacrifice your insignificant lives, but your humble sacrifice will pave the way for a great triumph in the future! Praise the Emperor!"

As Said's words echoed, grief enveloped the entire fleet, all mortal soldiers silently wiped away their tears, and then their eyes became extremely determined.

Said went on to say: "We will fight in the world of the dead, we will fight in the enemy ships, we will fight in the void, we will fight more and more bravely, and defend our homeland at all costs!"

"We will fight on the deck, we will fight at the enemy's jumping point, we will fight in front of the gun emplacement, and we will fight in the carrier aircraft!"

"Even if the fleet is completely destroyed and the reinforcements are cut off, the Orpheus sector and the empire behind us will continue to fight, and we will never surrender to the alien!"

"No one knows your names, your deeds will be immortal, for the sake of the emperor, for the sake of mankind, kill all the aliens!"

With the end of Said's speech, tens of billions of soldiers in the Imperial Fleet fell into madness, bursting into hysterical hatred and anger.

　The speech made my eyes wet...Long live the God Emperor!
