supreme commander's bizarre adventure

The swarm broke through the booby trap array in a nonchalant manner, and headed towards the second layer of defense.

The Jurha fleet and other high-speed battleships have been waiting here for a long time.

The first to fire was the high-speed battleship in the Jurha fleet. The giant projectile accelerated by the electromagnetic wave directly blasted into the array of the Hive Fleet at a speed close to the speed of light. The thick chitin carapace was smashed to pieces, exposing the The flesh and blood made the bugship roar silently.

The flashes of light spears and focused lasers filled the area between the two fleets, and this area was full of small bug swarm units and unmanned fighter jets fighting each other, and even in this chaotic battlefield, from time to time It can light up the flare produced when the doomsday weapons carried by the dreadnoughts in the Jurha fleet are launched.

The Jurha Fleet and the Astartes Fleet located on the two wings of the entire defense area launched an attack on the Hive Fleet like two giant pincers, but whenever the Hive Fleet wanted to divide their troops or transfer their forces to concentrate on the next route, Yu The Erha Fleet and the Astartes Fleet will retreat immediately, and destroy those bug ships that dare to pursue them during the retreat. In contrast, the Imperial Navy and part of the Jurha Fleet are firmly nailed to the Hive Fleet In front of the main force of the army, it is not allowed to have more energy to contain and harass the two wings.

Fortunately, the range of warships in the Imperial Navy and Jurha Fleet is greater than that of insect ships of the same level, which has become the only advantage over the guardians in this battle, but even so, the imperial warships still suffered a lot. Losses, especially those of medium-sized warships.

As the main force of anti-line and harassment, the various cruisers in the Imperial Navy and the strike cruisers of the Astartes often encounter enemies several times their own when fighting against the fleet of the swarm. They are often surrounded by various factors... Not to mention, some high-level bugships can even emit psionic screams, affecting the crew members of those imperial warships.

Just in the first moment of contact, the empire conveniently lost a lot of warships, but the hive fleet lost even more, and as the battle situation turned into a stalemate, the losses of both sides dropped rapidly.

The empire sent out the long-range nano-repair ships in the Jurha fleet to repair the severely damaged ships, and took them away from the fierce fighting area, while the Hive Fleet devoured the broken bug ships, and then more Newer bugships will appear from the edge of the galaxy and join the fray!

After nearly a day of stalemate, the battle line finally began to loosen——

The reinforcement speed of the Hive Fleet exceeded the strike speed of the defenders, and the number and speed of the empire's reinforcement ships could no longer keep up with the damage speed. Many warships were simply repaired and then pulled onto the battlefield , resisting the bombardment of acid cannon and bioplasma, after inflicting damage on the enemy, it was completely turned into fragments in the universe.

The fragments of these warships after the explosion refracted the light of the stars in the Baal galaxy, like twisted dust clouds with icy lights shining.

More serious than the damage to the battleship is the loss of high-quality and experienced crew members. Compared with these crew members and naval officers, for the joint headquarters led by Rorschach, the loss of the battleship is not a matter worth putting on the table. topic discussed above.

Because of this, the size of the Jurha fleet has been expanding. Even after returning to the Imperial Universe, half of the Jurha battleships in the joint headquarters were sent to other worlds to suppress the forces of disorder and at the same time let the The pilots of these warships took experience in battle and applied it to the next generation of Jurha figures produced.

At the same time, although Rorschach and the others were able to return to the Imperial universe smoothly, they essentially made a hole in the universe. Even now, the hole is still expanding, so that the United Headquarters can send more resources here, but Yule is needed. There are many places for the Harbin fleet, such as the battlefield where Dorne is located, following the fleet of Sanguinius, and several fleets monitoring the new Midnight Lords Legion.This also caused Rorschach to be unable to devote all of the Jurha fleet to the Battle of Baal, and could only strengthen the loyal imperial forces here to achieve the purpose of the campaign.

Now, as the battle situation began to tilt, Perturabo, who commanded the fleet battle, began to prepare for the retreat, but before that...

"How's the loss?"

Perturabo turned his head and asked the correspondent Jurha next to him, and the latter replied after retrieving the evaluation data:

"Half of the Imperial Navy has been lost, with one battleship and four battlecruisers remaining. There are more than a dozen cruisers, and the smaller battleships are almost completely wiped out. The Astartes fleet lost a quarter, but fortunately the battle barges There is no loss, the main force is still there, and the Jurha fleet is relatively intact, only a few cruisers and a dozen small battleships were damaged."

"Very well, order the fleet to retreat, and the Jurha fleet will be in the rear. At the same time, prepare for the preheating of the neutron killing weapon of the Glory Fortress. Although the effect in the universe is mediocre, there is no problem in covering the retreat of the Jurha fleet. "

"Yes, I will now..."

"Wait a minute," Perturabo began, "send Rorschach a message—"

"It's time to start."

Chapter 776 Chapter 580 Preparations on Baal

Baal, the ground fortress area.

The tall ACU walked past a Cadian Lightning Army team with heavy steps. The officers and political commissars who commanded the team stopped and saluted the ACU... About Rorschach Part of the information has already been distributed to various Astra Militarum units.

Apart from Rorschach's ACU, there was also an elite nun team on an anti-gravity vehicle, led by the head nun Emmeti, who claimed that this was a pilgrimage to the living saint of the State Church, and also a Protect the legendary Lord of the Empire.For the little thoughts of the nuns, Rorschach just laughed it off and didn't care.

Rorschach sat in the cockpit of the ACU. The cockpit was not that big. Compared to the cockpits of the titans of the empire, it was extremely narrow, but it was still enough for a tall adult to move around in it.

After taking a few sips of the strawberry-flavored combat nutrient, Rorschach stuffed it into the cup holder next to him, and looked at the screen in front of him. There were hundreds of messages flashing across it, but the only one worthy of Rorschach's attention was Pei. Message from Tulabo:

【It's time to start】

Rorschach knew what Perturabo meant. The first was that the defense could officially enter the initial stage, and the second was that the so-called "legion summoning order" could be broadcast to the outside world.

Perturabo had explained to Rorschach the general content of the summoning order, but the content was not much. It was one of the several secret assembly points of the Iron Warriors Legion in the past. That planet was a dead world with no resources and very Remote, away from the entire core star field of the empire, but the only reason for Perturabo to use this assembly point is...it is relatively close to the Baal galaxy, at least with the quantum teleportation ability of Glory Fortress, the round trip will not exceed four days, and will not affect The next battle.

As for how those Iron Warriors reached the assembly point, that was out of Perturabo's consideration.

"Let me see... activate the communication array," Rorschach's finger slid across the screen, and as he gave the command, the large communication array deployed on the surface of Baal was gradually activated, but this wanted to broadcast to the whole universe The words are not meaningful, not to mention that most of the imperial warships use astropaths to receive astronomical information, even those Chaos traitors are no exception. Of course, there are many Chaos Astartes that do not need it.

Therefore, Rorschach attached his psychic energy to the communication array and instilled it into the communication information to be sent.

The communication array covering a large area emits a low buzzing sound, which reverberates under the slightly dark sky. As nearly infinite energy enters the array along the energy pipeline, the information to be sent first passes through the quantum computer With the help of Rorschach's psychic energy, it was converted into astronomical information and sent in the direction of the Eye of Terror.

【Sent successfully】

The huge communication array gradually fell silent, only the sound of the cooling device became louder.

According to estimates, it will take at least several months, or even years, for those Iron Warriors to reach the assembly planet. Turabo transferred the Fortress of Glory away, and he could also pull the Templar Fortress belonging to the Jurha Fleet, which is being upgraded in the joint headquarters, to stabilize the front line.

Not only that, according to Rorschach's prediction, he planned to use the Jurha fleet and ground forces to gradually replace some of the Blood Angels' sons from the battlefield after initially severely inflicting damage to the swarm. So many Astartes gathered in the Not a good thing here - every galaxy in the Empire needs their intervention.

"OK, reply to Perturabo first, and then set up a few logistics transfer points... But it seems that some militia troops are stationed here."

As Rorschach said, he controlled the ACU to walk deeper into the fortress area, while the numbers and general introductions of the troops deployed in the surrounding area appeared on the screen in his cockpit.In addition to the militia troops on Barr, there are also some Cadian blitz troops deployed here, but the number is not large, and they are only stationed in the logistics center here.

There was a bit of emptiness in the rear, and Rorschach frowned, thinking that there was not enough manpower to maintain law and order in the residential area.

The entire fortress area is adjacent to two converging high mountains, and is located on a plateau. The terrain is condescending. Although there is not much water and food, but with the support of the food factory and water factory made by the engineering vehicles, this is not a problem.And there is no need to worry about weapons and equipment. Maybe there will be more guns than people in the end of the war.

There are not many problems in defense, unless the swarm can blow up the entire planet, but on the other hand, it is more troublesome——

Governance issues for residents.

What is certain now is that the bug swarm must have sent something into the fortress area, and it will gradually spread out, only to jump out and stab a knife from behind when there is an omission in the defense line or a stalemate.

Thinking of this, Rorschach glanced at the external video sent back from the optical sensor in the lower left corner of the screen. In the video, several battle nuns followed the ACU, loudly preaching the teachings of the state religion of the empire to the surrounding militia and residents...

"Hello? Commander Yurha?"

"I'm here, Lord Rorschach."

"Now withdraw all Yurha from the front line and put them into the genetic inspection at the rear, and all the personnel will be inspected within three weeks," Luo Xia said in the communication channel, and then transferred all the people in the fortress area The places where the residents gathered were marked on the map, and after a little thought, they continued:

"You don't need to worry too much, as long as you find out those gene stealers who are mixed in the crowd, let go of the possible infectious diseases first... As for the front, I will personally organize the front defense during this time, you guys Take your time."

"Yes, if you—"

"Don't worry, I have other things," Rorschach interrupted Commander Jurha. He dragged the video in the lower left corner to the center of the screen, looked at the battle nuns inside, and said:

"Send the battle nuns to the Jurhas. If the Jurhas don't do it, let the battle nuns handle it... Wait a minute, let the battle nuns do the work. The Jurhas focus on medical and genetic testing Just do it."

"...Will the Battle Sisters have no complaints?"

"That's my concern. Go and carry out the orders."

"Yes, as you wish, Lord Rorschach!"

After the voice of Commander Jurha disappeared from the communication channel, Rorschach slowly opened another communication channel, from which immediately came the voice of Sister Magda, the commander of the Battle Sisters. Full of spirit, with firmness and fanaticism:

"Master Rorschach, are you calling me? We have been waiting for your call!"

"Ah, yes, I have a task for you..."

Chapter 777 Chapter 580 Seventh Insect Rain

As the fleets blocking the swarm gradually retreated to the vicinity of Barr, relying on Fortress of Glory and the giant space station to resist the attack of the Hive Fleet, the Tyranid swarm, which was finally free to attack the planet, dropped the airdrop almost immediately Bags, these grotesque gifts stuffed with biological weapons poured into Baal's atmosphere.

The airborne operations of the Tyranid swarms are basically divided into two areas. The first is to airdrop directly to the fortress area. There are a large number of them but it is just a test, while the second is to airdrop directly to the equatorial area of ​​Barr, where they plunder the living substance.

However, the insect swarm that landed in the equatorial area soon discovered that the only things they could find here were a dozen strange-looking lizards...

In order to reduce the supplies that the swarm could obtain, Perturabo and Dante carried out a fairly thorough clearing of the walls on Baal. Beau still carried on the work.During this period of time, tens of thousands of Sons of the Holy Blood swept away the terrifying beasts on the entire planet, capturing those who could be caught, and killing those who could not be caught on the spot, and even the corpses would be burned into black charcoal!This is not only to strengthen the wall and clear the field, but also to allow the soldiers to quickly adapt to the newly issued power armor and various weapons.

And in these flat areas, Perturabo also planted a large number of fusion bombs. After the swarm descended to the ground and assembled their troops, these bombs would be detonated one by one!

If someone stands above Baal's equator now, he will see several dazzling suns rising from the ground, followed by mushroom clouds mixed with the gravel of the Baal wasteland, and those gathered on the ground The insect swarm preparing to attack has already been melted by the explosion, and only the individuals on the edge of the explosion can escape.

What's even more damning is that these bombs were not detonated at the same time, but were planted at the possible airborne locations, rendezvous points, and attack routes of each swarm through Perturabo's precise calculation and design, and they would be planted at different times. Duan remotely detonated it to cope with the development of the entire battle situation and disrupt the attacking rhythm of the swarm.

Now, the authority to detonate these bombs is held by Rorschach.

"... so many."

Rorschach did not stay in the cockpit of the ACU, but sat on the shoulder armor of the ACU with a data terminal, looking up at the "black cloud".

The black cloud, the black cloud made of Tyranid airborne capsules is slowly but unstoppably pressing down from the distant sky, like a heavy hammer swung by a blacksmith, but the Baal fortress area is by no means the thick steel waiting to be hammered, but an impregnable fortress—

Flames rose from the fortress.

The T2 anti-aircraft turret and the T3 anti-aircraft missile turret poured their firepower into the sky. The giant net woven by the barrage firmly blocked the black cloud at an altitude of one thousand meters. Those airdrop capsules were destroyed, and the beasts inside carried long Howl fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, ripped to shreds by the impact and gravity.

These airdrop sacs are also mixed with a large number of sporangia. This kind of thing is the same as the airdrop sac in appearance, but it can splash acid and sharp chitin fragments when it is exploded. Anyone who stays within the explosion range It is difficult for things to escape the fate of being injured or even destroyed!

Rorschach stood up from the shoulder armor of the ACU. He put the data terminal on a small drone, and then he reached out and took off the Book of Magnus hanging from his waist, and took the thick red cover of the book The book was spread out, and the pages were flipped quickly by the air waves generated by the surrounding anti-aircraft artillery fire.

Vast spiritual energy gushed out from Rorschach's body and poured into the Book of Magnus along his arm. In the next second, the whole world seemed to freeze!

The flames produced when the anti-aircraft artillery fired slowly expanded outwards. Hundreds of millions of light spots were connected into threads, with dazzling or dim light running across the sky and the earth. Each light spot was a shell , every silk thread means that the anti-aircraft artillery has reached the highest shooting efficiency——

But Rorschach is not going to let the combat effectiveness of anti-aircraft artillery reach its peak.

Rorschach's emerald green eyes gleamed with the energy of the void. Under his will, the entire atmosphere of Barr was mobilized. Thunder and storms gathered above the Barr fortress area, and the natural forces were integrated. Strengthen it, and finally turn it into a sharp sword that cuts at the Tyranid swarm!

The thunder all over the sky tore apart the swarm's airdrop sac, crushed the swarm units inside into powder, turned the flesh and carapace into coke, and was blown away by the strong wind!

The sky and the earth are clearly separated, the storm is raging at an altitude of [-] meters, but the earth is calm, but it is only a temporary calm.Those airdrop sacs that were not torn apart by the psychic storm rushed out of the range of the storm, and soon ushered in the first barrage of anti-aircraft fire interception. In the interweaving of light and flames, the entire sky boiled.

But even so, the bug swarm failed to successfully open up a landing field in the fortress area. They were wiped out one by one, or they were simply intercepted outside the layers of shields.The undead bugs fell to the ground and were either turned into meat paste, or were completely wiped out by the militiamen and Star Guards who came after hearing the news.

At this moment, whether it is the residents of Baal or the Star Militia, whether it is the Battle Sisters or the Astartes, they are all looking up at the storm in the sky in awe, looking at the Supreme Lord of the Empire who created this storm... ...It seems that there will be many more magnificent and wonderful epics in the legend of the one-winged angels that will be circulated in the future.

Rorschach closed the Book of Magnus and exhaled slowly. This was the first time he tried such a level of psionic spells with his own power. He even felt a burst of weakness in his body, but the weakness disappeared quickly and was replaced by What is more is a little tired.In the psychic storm and anti-aircraft fire strikes just now, at least tens of thousands of airdrop sacs were completely smashed, and the number of dead insect swarm units was calculated in millions.After suffering such a loss, even the Tyranid swarm had to think hard about their next plan of action.

For now, though, the rain has stopped.

After the airborne was over, Rorschach calmly returned to the cockpit of the ACU, put the data terminal aside, leaned back on the seat after twisting his body, and looked at the screen in front of him.The entire fortress area and surrounding detectable areas were clearly displayed in front of Rorschach, and reddish spots had already appeared on the edge of the map, and this blood-like color soon turned into several torrents and hit the fortress .

"Huh... the next step is to face the enemy head-on."

Rorschach was not just exercising his psychic power just now, establishing his majesty as the supreme lord of the empire, he also hoped that the swarm could focus more on himself, and through the help of the gene stealer cultists lurking in the crowd, , Hive Will will definitely know his identity as the supreme commander, not to mention that he is also a psychic who can change the situation of the battle... What awaits Rorschach next will definitely be countless assassinations and key attacks its area.

This fell into Luo Xia's arms.

Chapter 778 Chapter 580

The third hour after Tyrannian Rain ended.

The bug swarm was severely weakened in the first wave of airborne attack, but they quickly gathered huge bug swarms in several directions, converging into an almost unstoppable frenzy.The monsters in the tide came one after another, rubbing their sharp claws and spikes against each other, rushing towards the human fortress with endless hunger and malice.

The disruptor experimental-grade artillery that was the first to shoot, forty artillery pieces made deafening explosions. When the artillery fired, it even caused people nearby to feel extremely obvious tremors. After firing, the antimatter shells pierced into the The sky pierced through the thick clouds and hit the ground again, crashing into the surging swarm of insects!

The violently flickering arc and the shock wave spread to the surroundings, and the huge crater was full of mud and Tyranid flesh mixed with the mud, and these insect swarm units that were instantly killed were lucky, those in the direction of the shock wave The small Tyranid units on board were directly blown away, or their internal organs were simply destroyed by the impact, and the biomass was recycled after losing their combat capabilities.

The experimental cannons of the disruptor fired steadily and smoothly, without any intention of stopping, and when the attacking swarm of the Tyranid swarm bypassed the shelling area of ​​the cannons of the disruptor, the denser swarm immediately encountered the fortress area Concentrated bombardment of medium and heavy artillery stations!

The knife bugs, gun bugs, or higher-level warrior bugs in the Tyranid swarm were all directly eliminated by the artillery fire. Only those units that were stronger and faster were lucky enough to rush out of the bombardment area, but they were also very vulnerable. It was quickly knocked to the ground by the heavy point defense firepower of the T3 Marauder, and finally died of convulsions and struggles.

After the tentative attack ended, the swarm retreated temporarily and began to try other ways to attack.

In order to deal with the artillery in the fortress area, several Tyranid swarms from several directions began to attack in a looser formation, and as the Tyranid swarms continued to transport the swarm units to Baal, those swarms were even larger in size, with carapaces. Thicker swarm units are beginning to be seen gradually.

The tall vicious beasts and tyrannical beasts cover the smaller Tyranid swarm units below them and rush towards the human defense line. Ordinary artillery fire can no longer cause damage to these insects with thickened carapaces. Only heavy artillery stations and experimental-level Cannons can kill them with one blow, but even so, except for the area near the impact of the shells, the gradually weakened shock waves and energy shocks can no longer kill the Tyranid units on the edge——

The Hive Will quickly adjusted the shape and interior of the swarm unit, making it covered with thicker carapace, and the muscles of the body became stronger. Although more biomass was consumed, it was able to ensure that the swarm was covered by artillery fire. There will be no further losses in the region.

Not only that, but the bug swarm began to attack with a sparse network structure, their formation was very scattered, and they basically acted with troops similar to the squadron level of the Astral Army, with a warrior bug as the command, several or More than a dozen low-level units of the Tyranid swarm, but when these loose "squads" were combined, they gathered into a tsunami-like fury.At the beginning of the new attack, those Tyranid swarm units with long-range bombardment capabilities were also deployed in the area adjacent to the fortress, and began to engage in artillery battles with the artillery in the fortress area, so as to restrain the artillery from attacking the swarm. Strike and weaken.

Most of the entire fortress area is surrounded by alloy city walls, and some areas are protected by Fatty's experimental mobile factory. The T3 defensive devices placed on the city walls or behind the walls start with the set shooting range and range Shoot, and those T1 point defenses with closer ranges will start to kill those fish that slip through the firepower net!

It was the first time for the Hive Will to encounter an enemy with such fierce firepower in this river system, but it did not choose to give up, but began to improve the individual genes of the swarm units. A large number of ultra-long-range artillery units were hatched and joined the artillery battle Among them, even the swarm units with energy shields appeared in the queue that attacked with the swarm!

The air units of the Tyranid swarm marched together with the ground. These sky monsters and gargoyles have all undergone genetic upgrades. Their internal organs have become biotoxin bombs. After being shot down and killed, they will explode immediately, destroying the The toxins and contagious diseases spread rapidly... But these swarm air units failed to penetrate the population gathering points in the fortress area, and except for the necessary fortresses, no living things existed outside the gathering places, even those stuffed with The forts of the Cadian Lightning Army and the Baal militia have also been specially designed. The entire giant fortress is an internal circulation system, and the self-sustaining ability must be calculated on a yearly basis!

When the intensity of the battle soared layer by layer, Rorschach drove the ACU and began to march towards the rear settlement of the fortress area.In the cockpit, Rorschach's fingers quickly slid across the screen, and a head ring was floating on his head. With the help of this mind connection device, he could command UEF's armored clusters and defense facilities at a faster speed. :

"The enemy has strengthened the thickness of the carapace, and even mobile energy shield units have appeared... The six main contact directions of the entire fortress area have encountered almost equally ferocious attacks. The comers are not good."

Rorschach frowned and looked at the videos of the various fronts on the screen. There were at least two ACU deputy commanders driven by Yurha dolls in every direction of contact with the enemy, but there was no one on each front. Time to breathe!

While the swarm was attacking, it began to spread the fog of spores, which blocked radar and various sensors from detecting the movement of the swarm, and shortened the distance for charging.

"All fronts, report the situation!" Rorschach's words echoed in the communication channel of Commander Jurha's company. "Are there any special units of the swarm? Is the damage within an acceptable range?"

"There were no decisive battle units and individuals of Tyrannosaurus, and no traces of excavation were found underground."

"Enemy air units began to have self-destruct units with great power, and these units are extremely small and can pass through the shield at a very slow speed to attack the defense facilities. I have deployed more self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery. "

"I found the mist spreading unit of the Tyranid swarm here. The shape has been synchronized to the database, and it is calling for rear fire coverage."

"The mountain defense line has not been attacked by the enemy. The Cadian Lightning Army and some Barr militiamen have entered various fortresses and are monitoring possible enemy attacks."

Listening to Jurha's report, Luo Xia frowned. After thinking for a while, he gave his order.

An armored army with T2 pillar heavy tanks as the main force and T3 Titan heavy armored robots as the spearhead slowly walked out of the warehouse. They will enter the wave of Tyranid swarms in 15 minutes——
