Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

This tactic is quite simple, yet quite effective.

Although the void shield can protect the Imperial warships from a lot of damage, when the Hive Bio-ships rammed into the warships regardless, the warships in the battle group were quickly cut and dispersed. Because although the void shield can defend against almost all firepower, it can only defend against low-speed targets and direct collisions!

If it were any other race, they would never use this tactic that would hurt the enemy by 800 but hurt their own 10,000.

But the Zerg don't care!

Although the spearhead of the battle group successfully broke through the siege, a large number of scattered warships were still trapped in the siege of the Zerg Hive Fleet.

In the short term, they can also counterattack with the void shield.

But once the void shield is overloaded, what awaits them will be a devastating blow from the Zerg!

Unfortunately.

At this time, the Stars were also surrounded by the Zerg fleet.

"Target locked!"

Nono's clear voice sounded so pleasant amid the constant buzzing warnings in the bridge.

"Fire!" Noah gave the order immediately!

The Nova cannon on the bow opened fire fiercely.

The shells, with a diameter of more than fifty meters and filled with unstable plasma, were accelerated to 99% of the speed of light in an instant, allowing the cluster of shells to hit their target almost the moment they were fired.

The cold void was lit up by the dazzling light of a newborn star, and the exploding fireball quickly expanded on the corpse of the hive mothership, engulfing the remains of the hive mothership and the thousands of Tyranid bio-ships guarding it.

Even the most ordinary and featureless Nova Cannon still has a terrifying power that far exceeds any conventional ship-borne weapon of the Empire!

boom!

The bow of the Stars suddenly crashed into the wreckage of the Tyranid bio-ship, and took advantage of the gap torn by the explosion to force its way out of the encirclement of the Tyranid fleet.

At the same time, a dozen warships that had lost contact with the main battle group and were trapped in the Tyranid encirclement also discovered the gap. They had already been divided and surrounded by the Zerg and began to sail towards the gap urgently, trying to rush out before the Tyranid biological ship filled the gap.

This was originally impossible, as the Zerg Fleet would not allow the Imperial warships to escape the encirclement.

But at the moment when the hive mothership was destroyed, the large number of hive biological ships that were originally surrounding and dividing the imperial fleet in an orderly manner immediately became chaotic. They began to attack the imperial fleet indiscriminately. Although the swarm's attack was still fierce, it was no longer as closely coordinated as before.

The besieged Imperial warships also took advantage of this opportunity and, led by the Stars, a large number of warships successfully tore a gap in the weak flank of the Tyranid fleet and broke out of the siege.

In the silent void, millions of Tyranid Hive Fleets were still cruising towards Macragge unwaveringly. In front of this huge 'nebula', the Imperial fleets that briefly broke out of the cloud seemed so small.

The Tyranid fleet didn't even send out a fleet to round them up, because the amount of biomass that escaped was so small that they could have taken this opportunity to flee to Mandeville Point and use the warp drive to escape the doomed system.

But no ship would do that. Every warship spontaneously turned not far from the Zerg Hive Fleet, and the scattered fleet began to regroup around the Stars that helped them to tear open the gap.

Without the interference of the Hive Fleet, communications between ships gradually recovered.

A team of servo skulls flew in front of Noah, and the communications of nearly ten warships were projected in front of Noah, with the name of each warship and the name of its captain densely displayed on it.

One of the flickering images spoke in a deep voice:

"Sir von Valancius, I am Petty Officer Balthus, and the Baptism of Fire will be under your command."

It was a Space Marine, and the flickering image showed his name, Balthus.

His power armor is silver, but the Imperial Sky Eagle logo on his chest is red, and the paint on the shoulder armor is an eagle with outstretched wings. The eagle's head is replaced by a bone-white skull, which is the emblem of the Doomsday Eagle Chapter.

After the Ultramarines sent out a distress signal, the Doom Eagles were the first Space Marine Chapter to arrive at Macragge.

Although it sounds a bit shameful for a Space Marine to obey the orders of a mortal.

But Balthus obviously understood that the largest ship in their broken fleet was only a cruiser.

Among all types of cruisers, the only one that can easily kill the Tyranid Hive Mothership is Noah's Stars.

There is no other than the rising star cannon!

"Sir Noah, this is Petty Officer Andar. The Hyrkania will be under your command."

The Space Marine commanding another strike cruiser was equally decisive. This commander was also an old acquaintance of Noah, Andar Skerion of the Astral Claws.

Seeing that even the Space Marines chose to accept the command, other Imperial warships would not raise any objections.

"Thank you for your trust, Sergeant Baltis, Sergeant Andar."

Noah nodded slightly, his face showing no emotion.

But in fact, this is exactly what he expected -

With the speed of the Stars, it was completely possible to catch up with the third battle group.

But he chose to actively "fall into" the encirclement of the Zerg, both to rescue the divided and besieged Imperial warships and to gain command. Otherwise, with other battle barges and battleships in command, it would not be his turn to launch the main attack.

Although the Extreme Warriors were grateful for Noah's intelligence, they would not hand over the command of the fleet to him at such a critical moment.

So Noah had to find another way——

I can understand that you don't want to give me the command of the fleet, and I won't compete with you for it, but you can't object to me saving the lost warships and putting together a fleet, right?

then.

With the Stars as the spearhead, two strike cruisers, seven cruisers, and 2 frigates regrouped. They were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing into the densely packed Hive Fleet once again.

They may die, but before they die, they will drag more aliens with them to die!

Chapter 43 Is it turned on or off?

The void is silent.

Even though countless artillery pieces exploded like gorgeous fireworks, the space remained extremely silent.

In wordless silence.

The Imperial warships' light spears and macro cannons streaked through the void, easily destroying hundreds of Tyranid bio-ships without even aiming.

But no one would be happy about such a trivial victory, because everyone knew that killing these biological ships was meaningless. No matter how many they killed, the hive fleet could regenerate at any time.

But as the Imperial fleet gradually penetrated deeper into the Hive Fleet, a huge Tyranid Hive Mothership finally appeared in their sight.

"Nova Cannon loaded, target locked!"

"Fire!"

The Nova Cannon on the bow of the Stars suddenly emitted light, sending a Nova Cannon shell into the body of the Hive Ship.

The next moment, a brilliant light burst out in the universe. The huge expanding fireball ignited the nearby space, and thousands of Tyranid biological ships, including the Hive Mothership, were vaporized by the fireball.

The mighty flames washed away everything in the surrounding universe, but the insect nest biological ships were very easy to ignite. This resulted in no residue left on the biological ships within the explosion range, leaving no chance for the insect nest mothership to recover them!

"The fleet turns around and takes us out of here!"

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Noah immediately gave the order.

But at this moment, he heard White's warning:

"Hive Ship! Another one!"

Noah immediately looked out the observation window. The Zerg bio-ships were still methodically dividing and encircling the Imperial fleet's formation, seemingly not affected at all by the death of the Zerg mothership.

This is not because they can break away from the hive mothership and act independently, but because in the void not far away, there is another huge Tyranid hive mothership cruising in the void!

The Hive Mind had obviously learned enough lessons from the Imperial Fleet's attack and adjusted the Tyranid Fleet's organization into a multi-mothership formation. Even if one of the Hive Motherships was destroyed, another one could immediately take over its command.

This terrifying alien with a hive mind is far more adaptable than anyone could imagine.

But that's not the worst.

The worst thing is that this Tyranid mothership is rushing towards the Stars from the flank!

Countless Tyranid bio-ships that blocked its path were directly smashed by it, but such losses did not make the Hive Mind feel sad at all, because the lost biomass could be recycled anyway.

In contrast, biomass destroyed by the Nova Cannon cannot be recovered at all.

So the choice is self-evident - the hive mind will eliminate these aliens that waste biomass at all costs!

Noah had no idea what the Hive Mind was thinking.

But he knew what he was about to face.

Once the side of the Stars was directly hit by the Hive Mothership, Noah had no doubt that the Stars would be broken into two pieces.

There was no other reason, the size of both sides was too huge. Even though the Stars was a cruiser with a length of five kilometers, the size of the Hive Mothership was at least forty to fifty kilometers. In front of it, the Stars was as obvious as the difference between an ant and an elephant!

Just like an elephant would crush an ant to death, the Stars would be smashed to pieces by the Hive Mothership if nothing unexpected happened - of course, the greater possibility was that it would be directly crushed by the open bloody mouth of the Hive Mothership, and contribute to the production of new biological ships on the spot for the Hive Mothership.

It's just a shame.

Not surprisingly, that was impossible.

At the same time as the Hive Mothership rushed towards the Stars, the wake of the Stars' plasma engine suddenly became extremely bright at that moment, and with a scorching light, it forced the Stars out of the impact range of the Hive Mothership, causing the two to "pass by each other" very narrowly!

Just like the 'rush' that the Zerg is good at using, the Stars is now also rushing.

Under normal circumstances, even if the Stars could avoid the impact of the Hive Mothership, the acceleration beyond the human body's limit would kill all the crew members of the Stars, and they would still not be able to escape death. Because not everyone has a metal body like ribs that can be fearless of the damage caused by inertia.

But miraculously.

The acceleration was so high that it could kill people instantly, but the people in the warship did not feel anything unusual. They could not even feel any acceleration, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

The lower-level crew members who didn't understand what was happening remained clueless, but the crew members who knew a little about physics were all grateful at this time.

They all came to a consensus:

The machine soul of this battleship is protecting them!

"Praise the God-Emperor! Praise the Om Messiah!"

Even the crew members who did not believe in the Mechanicus were praying devoutly at this time.

But whether it is a miracle or a coincidence.

The hive carrier's pig charge ended in failure, but that doesn't mean it had no impact.

Although the Stars successfully dodged the attack of the Hive Mothership, the huge size of the Hive Mothership still successfully separated the Stars from the other warships.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

Because this also means that the flanks of the Hive Mothership are completely exposed to the firepower of other Imperial warships!

"Fire!"

Even without command, communications were disrupted.

But the Imperial warships still fired powerful melta torpedoes at the Zerg mothership at the same time. Dozens of torpedoes rushed out of the launch tubes one after another, quickly filling the void in front.

At the same time, the lance turrets on the spine of the Imperial battleship also opened fire.

More than a dozen dazzling light spears hit the side of the Hive Mothership at the same time. The macro cannons were easily overlooked against the dark background of space, but they were equally powerful.

At the forefront of the fleet was the Baptism of Fire, which had been following closely behind the Stars. It was precisely because of its closer position that the planetary bombing cannon on the bow of this strike cruiser was able to fire at a distance that was almost face-to-face!

Under the barrage of light spears, macro cannons, and bombing cannons, the chitinous carapace of the hive mothership, which should have been indestructible, was quickly blown into pieces, and blood gushed out and condensed in the void.

The melta torpedoes followed closely, drilling into its flesh through the broken shell. Although even the melta torpedoes had difficulty penetrating the chitinous shell of the hive mothership, the strongest fortress is often breached from the inside!

When these torpedoes exploded from the inside, the nuclear flames caused by the explosion quickly caused the hive carrier to explode into a pile of rotten meat in the cold void.

The originally well-organized Tyranid bio-ships immediately fled in all directions or attacked frantically due to the loss of command, but the Imperial fleet did not cheer for this. They just calmly bypassed the huge wreckage of the Hive Mothership and followed the wake of the Stars to gradually escape from the encirclement of the Hive Fleet.

They need to regroup!

What is the purpose of Chapter 44? Chapter 95?

The Stars led the multi-assembled fleet and struck the Tyranid fleet repeatedly like a sharp sword, piercing it again and again, attacking and retreating quickly, and injecting one Nova Cannon after another into its interior.

Every time a Tyranid Hive Mothership was destroyed, thousands of Bio-ships fell into chaos due to the loss of command. The efficiency of recycling the wreckage of the Tyranid Bio-ships became extremely low, and the production efficiency of the Hive was also affected.

There is no doubt that the size of this 'nebula' is gradually shrinking under their repeated attacks!

The Hive Mind is also constantly adjusting its strategy, allowing the Hive Motherships to form double or even triple mothership formations. The impact of their killing of the Hive Motherships is becoming smaller and smaller, and their own losses are becoming larger and larger.

The Zerg Fleet has gradually become accustomed to their tactics. More and more Imperial fleets are forced to separate from the main battleships during the attacks of the Zerg bio-ships. In order to maintain their formation, other warships are unable to rescue lone warships in the huge Zerg Fleet, and can only watch as one warship after another is torn apart by the hungry Tyranids.

The Empire's sword is becoming duller and less effective in killing Zerg fleets.
