Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 209. 197. Shark Raid
On the battle barge, the astropaths and psykers were constantly adjusting their course, and a large number of space warriors wearing black and gray were walking behind them. Most of these warriors wore Mark V "Rebellion" type power armor. The shoulder blades on both sides are painted black on one side, and white shark on a black background on the other side.

On such a busy bridge, the tall Tiberius, the leader of the Shark Chapter, was sitting on his Chapter Leader's throne, with a huge water tank behind him.

Through the cold blue water, a terrifying predator as big as a Warhound Titan could be seen wandering in the distance.

This fearsome predator is the holy object of the entire Chapter. It is said that this is the last ancient predator from ancient Terra, and it was the only symbol given to them by the Mother Chapter when they were driven out of the cave.

Tiberius is frighteningly large, just like the huge shark behind it, much larger than his kind.No one knows what the Chapter Master is thinking, and few even know what the Chapter Master's face is beneath his mask.

His two beautiful weapons, known as "Hunger" and "Queen of Thirst", are lightning power claws, precious weapons that are extremely rare.The lightning power claw looks more like a combination of lightning claw, power fist and chain sword.

The chapter leader sat silently on his shark throne until the chapter think tank came over.The soldier wearing Mark's three-power armor looked at the chapter leader who was sitting about the same height as him and said.

"Brother Chapter Leader, I have just received the enlightenment from the Shadow Lord in the subspace. Those aliens may have discovered our traces through the etheric current, and Mandeville Point is no longer safe."

Although the think tank director's words were small, the Tiberius Chapter Leader already understood the situation.

A low and hoarse voice came from inside the Chapter Master's helmet and reached the ears of every battle brother on the bridge.
"Get the assault ship ready and we'll go out directly at Salt Point."

The director of the think tank next to him became silent after hearing this. It took him a while before he spoke.
"This is very risky, Brother Chapter Leader. The currents of subspace and the gravity of planets and stars may tear us apart."

"No, let the tech sergeant activate the Deep Sea Scream so we can go there successfully."

The director of the think tank nodded after hearing this and stopped talking.

The huge fleet that had already been prepared at Mandeville Point was now waiting for the fleet of the Man-Eating Shark Chapter to jump out of Mandeville Point.Alarak, leading his own fleet and some Kalai Protoss warships, will fight the enemy here.

Commander Tal'darin planned to catch the enemy off guard as soon as they left the warp, and directly destroy the enemy during the teleportation process.

Alarak could already think of those cunning and stupid human troops who thought that the enemy had not discovered them. As a result, they were beaten into broken bears as soon as they left the subspace passage they thought was safe.

"that must be very interesting."

Alarak thought in his heart that in the opinion of this experienced commander, the only way for the human empire to navigate is the subspace, and their safest passage is Mandeville Point.As for whether it is possible for them to take a more dangerous route?

Salty point?

If the other side's commander had any sense, he probably wouldn't do this.

Alarak once commanded his fleet to plunder the human world, and the navy in the nearby galaxy wanted to come to support. However, when they occupied Mandeville Point, the naval commander on the opposite side suddenly had a whim. , Sartre, who wants to take the second most dangerous position, will provide support.

Salt Point is also a subspace route in Warhammer 40k, but it is much more dangerous than Mandeville Point.Because the Mandeville Point is located at the edge of the star system, the Salt Point is usually located on the subspace route between the third planet and the fourth planet or the fourth planet and the fifth planet.

Once the Yao Hong is not operated properly, the final fate of the fleet is likely to be accidentally teleported into the orbit of a giant planet when it leaves the subspace, and then be broken into pieces by the gravity of the planet and the gravity of the star.Alarak witnessed with his own eyes the two Moon-class cruisers being completely destroyed and then turned into ashes due to the friction of the atmosphere.

Soon the enemy warships appeared as she expected, and the huge warships of the Man-Eating Shark Fleet quickly leaped out from Mandeville Point.What greeted them was the dark red arc and plasma cannon bombardment of the death fleet.

Alarak admired the beautiful scenery. In his imagination, those fragile human warships would soon be reduced to ashes.

But when the light of the plasma burst in the vacuum and the flash of the electric arc passed, something surprising happened. The shields of those human warships were not even destroyed, but still ensured fast maneuvering for assault!

The high-ranking lord was shocked when he saw this, but quickly let his men start more attacks.Then I don’t believe that a small sampan from a lower race can withstand such a bombardment!
"Stop Alarak, that's a disguise! Let our troops evacuate quickly!!"

When Alarak was about to go up, Zeratul's voice suddenly came impatiently from a long distance. The startled high-ranking lord said reflexively
"why?"

"Those are assault battleships, you idiot, they are full of explosives!!"

"what?!"

Assault battleships are a type of naval organization that is almost extinct in the Imperial Navy. Because they are so old, Zeratul finally remembered this kind of thing after staring at it for a while.

The assault warship is essentially an unmanned warship, because it does not have any operating members, only servitors for the simplest control.Each of these huge warships is about 2 to 3 kilometers long.

In order to be able to carry out assault and defense well, this kind of warship canceled a large number of artillery and replaced the artillery and ammunition depots as well as the original survival areas of the crew with explosives, engines and void shield launchers.Therefore, the speed and defense of this kind of battleship are at least dozens of times that of battleships of the same level, but the power is far more than dozens of times.

When these huge warships finally sense the object touched by the detector under the control of the intelligent wetware inside, they will detonate without hesitation.

The most prominent and famous time of Assault Battleships was during the Siege of Terra. In this way, the Rebels used dozens of Assault Battleships to successfully force the Emperor's flagship, the Emperor's Dream, to land on Terra. .

However, this rare technological product accompanied the end of the Great Rebellion and the Second Founding of the Army, and due to its complexity, it slowly disappeared into the trend of human empire history.Only battle brothers like the Shark Chapter who still use old-fashioned equipment and some traitor legions in the subspace still have this equipment.

After receiving the intelligence, the originally neat fleet began to make rapid adjustments. Everyone wanted to leave here quickly. However, because the original firing positions were fixed and locked, some warships fell into a state of chaos.

Under desperate gazes, apart from several Portuguese ships that were detonated, two of them successfully rushed to a mother ship, several aircraft carriers, and a large number of storm warships, and then detonated deadly explosives.

After the smoke of gunpowder passed, the mothership was directly blown into two halves, and a closer aircraft carrier was directly bombed beyond recognition.Although other warships successfully detonated those terrifying extra-large torpedoes, they also fell into some chaos and took at least ten minutes to complete their reorganization.

In the midst of chaos near Mandeville Point, very bad news came from over the colony:
The main fleet of the Shark Chapter successfully passed through Salt Point and is attacking the merchant fleet in orbit!
