Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

Noah looked at the Military Affairs Department again. Before Noah could speak, the Minister took the initiative to say:

"The Military Affairs Department will unconditionally provide you with any logistical supplies you need!"

Noah nodded slightly.

According to the original history, the siege of Flax lasted for 17 years.

He didn't have that much ability, so he made a small concession and made do with a small goal:

The battle ended in 17 days.

Chapter 125: Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others

Flax Galaxy, Mandeville Point.

The Styx-class heavy cruiser 'Blood Dawn'.

The holographic projection of Jufu sat on a throne covered with iron thorns, playing with a clearly mutated Space Marine skull in his hand. This skull, this warband, and even the entire fleet were all stolen from the Chaos Lord of the previous Skull Reaper warband.

Juffure was well aware that it would be difficult for him to truly gain the allegiance of the Skulltakers, so he decisively pledged his loyalty to Abaddon the Despoiler and relied on the support of the Warmaster to lead the Skulltakers warband.

As a token of his surrender to the Warmaster, Zhufu's first mission was to reinforce Flax. This was not a difficult mission, as Flax was already under the control of Chaos.

In fact, Zhu Fu didn't have to do anything. He just had to wait for the imperial troops to land on the ground battlefield and then kill them.

But Zhu Fu is one of the few smart people in the Khorne warband.

His excellent tactical skills as a space warrior taught him that one cannot just chop on the ground, but also in space!

That's why he ordered the fleet to guard Mandeville Point, ready to ambush any of the Pseudo-Emperor's lackeys who entered this galaxy.

Although the Mandeville point in the galaxy is large, the probability of him encountering the Imperial fleet head-on is actually very low.

But it doesn't matter.

With the blessing of the Blood God, he believed that he could block the Imperial Fleet.

"grown ups!"

The voice of a skull snatcher could not hide his excitement and bloodlust, "There is a high-energy reaction! It's the Imperial Fleet!"

Zhu Fu stared out the observation window, because he had seen the source of the energy reaction -

A rift from the Warp is opening in the real universe, and the Imperial fleet is returning from the colorful Warp to the boring black reality.

"Let the fleet meet them! Defeat them!"

Juffer gave a cruel smile.

-----------------

Constellation, bridge.

"Enemy attack!"

The fleet had just jumped out of the warp, and many warships had not even had time to replace their Geller fields with void shields before the Chaos fleet's attack suddenly came. The fierce artillery fire quickly split the fleet's formation, forcing many naval fleets to urgently dodge the artillery and restart the void shields.

But what is really fatal are the transport ships in the fleet!

These transport ships had almost no defensive firepower, but they carried a large number of Astra Militarum soldiers and logistical supplies. Once these transport ships were destroyed, even if the Imperial fleet could win the naval battle, the ground landing operation on Vraks would be defeated.

Whether the Imperial Fleet actively attacks or passively defends, it is bound to suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Chaos Fleet.

If we take the initiative to attack, the transport ships without escort will be completely destroyed.

If they adopt a passive defense, the Chaos Fleet will inevitably cause huge losses to the Imperial Fleet.

Although it was an accident, the Chaos Fleet did succeed in seizing the Imperial Fleet's weakest moment!

Faced with such a critical situation, Noah had to issue an urgent order:

"Order the fleet to engage the enemy immediately, sail at full speed, and fire freely!"

Throughout the ages, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, Noah's tactics have always been simple and crude, that is, there is no tactics!

Don’t worry about anything, just go for F2A!

Some people may think that this is a SB master, but Noah wants to tell them that this is the calmness of a cheater!

If it doesn’t work out, it’s just giving face to the regulators. What other tactics are needed?

The new star cannon is still the first shot.

Shining stars exploded across the Chaos fleet, achieving extraordinary results.

The Chaos fleet's defenseless dense formation was quickly breached by the bombardment of the Nova Cannon. The Styx-class heavy cruiser that was targeted was destroyed in an instant, and several cruisers and raiders were also caught in the aftermath of the explosion. The Chaos fleet was like a lone boat on the stormy sea, blown to pieces by the shock wave.

The void shields of a large number of warships were instantly overloaded, and the army's morale was turned into disarray in almost an instant.

Just as the Imperial Fleet took the opportunity to regroup and restore its formation to charge towards the Chaos Fleet, the Chaos Fleet unexpectedly and decisively turned around and ran away without a single hesitation!

Noah looked at the red-painted enemy ship displayed on the tactical panel with a strange expression:

"Is this a Khorne warband?"

White replied:

"It should be, my lord. Judging from the ship's paint and identification codes, they are the Skull Reaper warband."

"When did the Khorne Warband become so cowardly?"

Noah clicked his tongue and said, "You, the Khorne War Gang, run away when you see anyone. Isn't this bringing shame to Old K?"

This beaver?

The Titans are braver than you!

"Order the fleet, engines at full speed, we're going to catch up!"

Noah didn't care whether they were really cowards or had some other conspiracy.

He only cares about F2A!

"Yes, my lord!"

In the holographic projection, the captains of each cruiser responded loudly.

Although looking at the entire empire, Flax is nothing.

But in the Skarrus Sector, Vraks is just as important as the capital world.

On the one hand, Vraks is located at the intersection of multiple warp routes. Thanks to its unique geographical location, Vraks can quickly provide assistance to the Imperial forces responsible for defending the star regions near the Eye of Terror.

Therefore, over the past ten thousand years, it has been built into an arsenal world and a fortress world. In the twelve Black Crusades launched by the Chaos enemy in the past, Vraks has always been an important link in the Imperial defense.

This also means that once Vraks falls, the Imperial defense line connected to it will suffer a heavy blow due to insufficient logistical supplies. The Chaos enemy will inevitably take advantage of the situation and the loopholes in the Imperial defense line will continue to expand and eventually be completely torn apart.

A large number of worlds will fall, and the Chaos Army will no longer be subject to any shackles. It can march straight into the core star regions of the Empire and even directly attack Holy Terra!

If the situation is really that bad, Abaddon might also launch the Thirteenth Black Crusade.

In the name of the Emperor, Vraks shall be returned to Imperial rule!

-----------------

Flax, Jufu grabbed the wizard's robe and roared:

"Tell them to get back to the fight! Tell them it's just a disruption in the psychic signal, not that I'm dead!"

"My Lord, they rejected my request for the Star Language..."

The wizard was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and trembled as he spoke.

You really can't blame him for this!

What can he do if he can't contact anyone? He is also desperate!

"coward!"

Zhu Fu roared and smashed the wizard's head with one punch, his eyes revealing bloodthirsty desire.

Didn't I just not let you stay on the ground and drink blood? Didn't I just not give you the opportunity to offer blood sacrifice to the Blood God?

How dare you disobey orders? How dare you disobey orders?

Zhu Fu made up his mind that when they came back, he would twist off their heads and hang them on his throne as a small punishment!

But since the fleet can't stop the pseudo-emperor's lackeys, let them come!

He can't wait to drink the blood of mortals!

-----------------

"grown ups."

When they were about to enter the orbital defense range of Vraks, Admiral Carl, the commander of the Navy Cruiser Squadron, sent a communication request. His holographic projection suggested very tactfully:

"For safety reasons, I suggest that the fleet sail to Vraks from the far side of the planet. This way, we can avoid the laser defense array on the planet, and the landing operation can be carried out relatively smoothly."

In fact, Admiral Karl originally did not want to give orders to the "Rogue Trader". After all, no one would really regard this big man wearing the Holy Hammer power armor as a Rogue Trader. However, he felt that he still needed to tell him some common sense of naval warfare.

While the Rebel space fleet was minuscule compared to the vast fleets of the Empire, Vraks was not.

The center of the world is Fortress Vraks, located in the center of the Van Meersland Wasteland. Almost all the important facilities on the planet are located here.

Over the past ten thousand years, the empire's reckless investment has already made this fortress impregnable!

Its walls are protected by void shields to withstand any form of orbital bombardment, with extensive curtain walls to withstand direct attacks, and surrounded by a massive laser defense array, making any attack from space tantamount to suicide.

These laser defenses can also be used to attack ground targets. All roads leading to the fortress are protected by interlocking force fields, and three circular defense lines are arranged in the wasteland.

These measures protected warehouses, trenches, lines, bunkers, support points, and pre-prepared artillery positions from invaders. The three lines of defense were protected by barbed wire, anti-tank trenches, and thousands of minefields.

Any enemy who attempts to attack this fortress will pay the price in blood!

Admiral Karl would not worry about the Astra Militarum, as these soldiers were born to die on the ground. But if the fleet entered orbit directly from the near side of the planet, it would inevitably face the anti-aircraft firepower of the laser defense array, and the entire fleet might be wiped out!

Noah glanced at Carl sideways:

"Are you accusing me?"

"Don't dare."

Admiral Karl was instantly sweating profusely. How could he dare to teach the Inquisitor how to do anything?

Noah said calmly:

"Admiral Karl, I understand your concerns, but we must race against time now!"

"Yes, sir, you are right."

Admiral Karl had a bitter face. This was not the way to buy time!

But there is no way, after all, Noah is the commander.

Let him be. When the fleet suffers heavy losses, he will announce his retreat himself.

After cutting off the communication, Noah looked at the huge planet in the distance, which was Flax which was already within reach.

As a planet, Vraks can only be described as barren and monotonous.

The planet's surface is covered with a layer of ancient volcanic ash containing sulfides, and the surface is bare and mountainous.

Its climate is extremely hot, and violent electromagnetic storms occur every day, each accompanied by torrential rain that comes suddenly and unexpectedly. After the storm passes over the ground, the rain seeps into the porous surface, forming patches of sticky gray swamps. Such an environment is obviously not conducive to landing operations.

If we follow Admiral Carl's suggestion and let the fleet enter the planet's orbit from the far end.

Then the ground troops would have to land thousands of kilometers away from the Flax Fortress, and in order to ensure that the ground troops could be quickly transported to the war zone and that logistical supplies were unimpeded, the engineering team would also need to build a railway transportation network thousands of kilometers long, stretching directly from the landing area to a place one hundred kilometers outside the Flax Fortress.

In other words, the preliminary preparations alone would take at least a year!

The Empire can certainly use this opportunity to complete its preliminary preparations, but the rebels will also gain valuable breathing time and truly turn Vraks into an indestructible fortress.

This will return to the original timeline.

Tens of millions of Kriegs fought desperately against eight million rebels on Vraks for 17 years, fighting for every trench, every line of defense, and every city wall, turning the planet into a veritable meat-mincing hell.

Until every rebel is killed, the Empire cannot retake the planet.

This is not what Noah wants.

If he wanted to take down Flax quickly, he had to do it now.

While a large number of rebels are still fighting for power and the fortress's defenses have not yet been systematically integrated, Noah has the opportunity to quickly capture the planet!
