Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 997 Willing to Die

The homecoming fleet set sail from the star port of New Orps and sailed towards the occupied area of ​​Orps.

Although this mini fleet of transport ships is equipped with human-controlled macro-cannons, at least it has what it is good at, and that is rushing.

In addition to the dimension engine, another super-light navigation engine used by the entire fleet was activated, accelerating the fleet to a speed dozens of times beyond the speed of light. The entire fleet left New Orps in an instant like a blurry image.

Earls was in the ship named "Orpheus' Revenge" which was designated as the flagship because it was relatively intact.

As the star map showed that the entire fleet was getting closer and closer to the occupied area, and the possibility that the fleet could rush into its hometown in the occupied area before being destroyed became more and more likely, Earls was gradually letting go of his hanging heart.

Cheers erupted from every ship in the fleet.

Tens of thousands of navy sailors and millions of volunteers in the army are all rejoicing at the possibility of seeing their hometown.

Even some soldiers in the army whose equipment is not uniform believe that they may be very lucky to land on a certain planet in the occupied area, and then die under the alien weapons while stepping on the land of their ancestors.

But in fact, as some people expected, they were not discovered by the aliens because of their fast and small scale.

The Void Monitoring Station set up by the Menak Dynasty at the border of the territory captured the traces of these fleets when they first set sail. However, the Void Monitoring Station did not launch an attack because the person in charge of the monitoring station believed that this tiny fleet was An outpost of a larger fleet.

In order to make the human fleet relax its vigilance, rush in all at once while the outpost fleet was safe and sound, and then be completely annihilated, the Void Monitoring Station allowed this tiny fleet, which was identified as an outpost, to approach.

The Void Monitoring Station pays close attention to the human territory, scanning over and over again for signs of a large fleet stationed or about to appear.

An extremely tiny device traveled back and forth between the present and future timelines at the same time, confirming whether the huge fleet would appear within the monitoring range in the future.

Until this device did not detect the fleet that might appear in the future, the person in charge of the monitoring station was disappointed and issued an order. This ordinary slave of the Menak Dynasty sent a signal, ordering the monitoring station to eliminate these puzzling offenders.

The weapon system on the monitoring station rotated, heading in a direction calculated by the computing device, and fired two beams of light into the boundless void. Then this only started to charge the inferior weapon system used by the monitoring station.

The homecoming fleet, which was sailing at super-light speed ten light-years away, encountered a blow.

The two ships at the front of the fleet exploded without warning.

As the two ships and their wrecks were burned by some high-energy attack, the fire of hope in the hearts of all the increasingly optimistic Orps, including Earls, also dissipated.

After more than ten seconds, two more ships exploded.

After a few breaths, Earls discovered that there were only ten ships left in the fleet and was unable to react.

The naval command and combat knowledge he had spent his whole life learning had no effect on even making him say a word at this time.

It was then that Earls and his followers realized.

The fact that the Orps sector fell at the speed of light in one hundred days, which was ridiculed by others, was not a shameful thing at all.

They, the descendants of the Orps, should not feel ashamed of their ancestors. They should be proud that their ancestors could persist under such an enemy's offensive for nearly a hundred days.

Just as their Orphic ancestors were almost all wiped out in that war, this was proof of their loyalty to the empire and the throne.

"We should at least react!"

"One hundred thousand people... no, two hundred thousand people died in the attack just now."

"They should have sacrificed themselves, and so should we, because that's why we came here!" "..."

As roars and roars rang out one after another in the bridge, two more ships disappeared without warning.

The remaining people didn't even figure out where the enemy was and what exactly was attacking them.

They still don’t know that just a long, long distance away, a person will not have the ability to attack in principle, but because the Menak Dynasty is extremely martial and bloodthirsty and does not allow any individual or creation to be without weapons, so they installed a small The weapon's monitoring station wiped out half their ships in a matter of breaths.

A metal skeleton in the monitoring station sat on a chair and controlled the inferior weapons.

When the Necrontyr race was destroyed, the skeletons entered the biological transformation furnace because the Star God didn't even bother to deal with them. As a result, their bodies after coming out of the biological transformation furnace did not even have slightly complex thinking units like the advanced individuals of the dynasty.

It will only do one thing repeatedly, which is to tap buttons as a low-level operating entity in the monitoring station.

"Kill us." Ers did not issue an order, but just stared into the void ahead and murmured, "The hatred of Orps will continue to be passed down, and people like me will come here one after another... "

The premonition of death came suddenly, like a pair of big hands squeezing Earls' heart.

Earls believed in this feeling of death. He was sure that he would die with this ship in the next second, because when he was a child, he discovered that he had the psychic talent to predict the future, but now this talent is only weak. A premonition that is difficult to even detect.

But the hunch is definitely true.

The next second, the ship was not destroyed. All the remaining ships seemed to be forcibly intercepted by something on the highway, and suddenly left the super-light speed state with a bang.

Then a beam of light shot from the rear of the fleet to the front, seemingly colliding with something incoming.

The two energies collided together, and the light seeped into the surrounding void like sea water seeping into the beach, forming a beautiful pattern of energy lines, like a sparkling spider web.

Earls, whose eyes were bloodshot, reacted after a few seconds, and he looked around blankly outside the porthole.

A huge thing that could really be called a battleship passed by the right side window, and the simple star pattern of the Tyron star sector on it shone brightly under the light of the stars.

The battleship sailed forward, firing a spear of light into the void, and then there were no more strange attacks that destroyed any ship without warning.

"Imperial Navy number...you don't have a number..."

A holographic image appeared in the bridge, and a middle-aged man in an officer's uniform glanced at the Imperial people in the bridge with confusion.

When he saw the image of Lord Tyrone on the bridge wall that had not yet been taken down, the officer in the holographic image saluted the image.

After saluting, the officer looked away and looked at everyone: "In any case, I suggest that you stop the suicide action and return to the star port to rest together."

Earls couldn't believe his eyes.

The Tyrone Navy has arrived, which means that the Regent may have chosen the sector where New Orps is located as the frontline of the war when they just left the starport. Just like in the Golden Expedition, the huge imperial fleet also Will rush here, the Warmaster and the Sons of God will also arrive.

But just when Earls was thinking this, the Tyrone man told him: "You don't need to belong to the Imperial Navy's combat order, because they have not arrived, but the Tyrone Navy will carry out the offensive mission against the aliens of the Menak Dynasty."

Earls felt like he had been poured with a bucket of cold water. He asked disappointedly: "How much fleet strength do you have?"

"An invincible fleet," the officer replied, "a total of 74,000 warships of all types."
