Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

The Space Marine who witnessed his life slipping away slowly took off his helmet and half-knelt down in front of Saka's body. Frankly speaking, the aliens didn't taste good, but the memory of a top commander of the Tau was necessary.

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

The evacuation point was arranged in the Grindelwald factory area.

There is a large open space nearby. I don’t know if it is the Tau people’s testing ground or something else. It is very suitable for the landing of large troop transport ships.

The nearby enemy forces had already been wiped out, with the laser beams in space first killing the high-threat combat suits, and the Kriegs relying on fearless charges to break into the enemy lines and engage in more advantageous close-range melee with the Fire Warriors, thus quickly occupying the position.

With efficient cooperation, it only took three hours to occupy the entire factory area.

All surviving Astra Militarum troops were assembled here to quickly board the Devourer-class transports that had landed in the clearing.

As for Noah.

He was busy packing up the Titanium production line. In short, everything that could be taken away was packed up and taken away!

Can’t take it away?

Then wait for the orbital bombardment!

After several hours of visiting a production line in each factory, Noah finally completed his mission and gave the order with satisfaction:

"Nono, notify Thunder Eagle to come pick us up."

"The Thunder Eagle is on the way."

"What about the evacuation progress of other troops?"

"90% of the Astra Militarum Army has evacuated. We and the Ultramarines are the last ones."

Leaving a small force alone on the ground is undoubtedly very dangerous.

But Grindelwald had been eliminated, and most of the fire warriors were reduced to ashes by laser cannons. The few survivors hid deep underground and dared not show their heads. These people simply did not have the courage to charge at them.

The evacuation process went quite smoothly.

The few Tau who were still surviving were unable to stop the Thunder Eagle from taking off, and could only watch the enemy leave with eyes filled with hatred.

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

"Captain on the bridge!"

"Nono, orbital bombardment, destroy the alien city!" Noah ordered immediately.

Grindelwald didn't have many aliens left alive, and he wasn't venting his anger, he was just covering up his tracks.

Whether it was the emptied factory or the uprooted database, these were not suitable for others to know, not even the Extreme Warriors.

In the human empire, even if the oil man wants to study alien technology, he has to do it secretly. Noah's behavior is simply heresy.

Therefore, destroying evidence is naturally a necessary process.

boom!

The spear of light pierced through the atmosphere and landed in the center of the city composed of countless hexagons, causing a massive explosion.

The explosion violently impacted everything around. All buildings above the horizon were destroyed, and even the ruins and rubble were broken into smaller structures to ensure that not even a complete building could be found here.

Naturally, nothing could be found left in the building.

Noah watched all this with satisfaction, then connected to the Ultramarines and asked:

"Sergeant Titus, how is the cargo?"

"The cargo has been loaded and is in good condition." Titus's steady voice came from the communication bead.

"Then let's fire it."

Following the order, a huge transport ship loaded with Genestealers flew into the atmosphere of the Berk Anjiamen world. There were many pure-bloods among them, but even more were half-bloods, and each of these half-bloods was wearing a set of Astra Militarum uniforms.

They were recruited from the hive world, and before that they had been staying in the small cabin of the transport ship and were not allowed to leave. Anyone who tried to leave the transport ship would be mercilessly shot by the Astra Militarum and Space Marines guarding outside. However, these "diligent" soldiers still enjoyed it and had no complaints about the poor conditions and treatment.

Until they were finally given the order to fight and landed on the ground battlefield along with the troop transports.

These fanatical warriors rushed out of the transport ship under the false battle order and looked at the city that was bombed into ruins in astonishment. Just when they were about to contact the fleet in space to ask if their landing location was wrong, they were shocked to find that the fleet was leaving the planet's orbit.

They were abandoned.

This fact makes many people frustrated and angry, angry at the unfair treatment they have suffered. We are all loyal believers of the Emperor, why should we suffer such unfair treatment?

But soon, they calmed down. Because the Emperor's angels landed with them. These four-armed angels of the Emperor comforted them with sharp roars, declaring that they were not abandoned, but had a glorious mission. The Emperor's angels will continue to lead them on this hot land. They are glorious pioneers and will spread the Emperor's supreme glory on this unknown land!

Even aliens are qualified to receive the teachings of the God-Emperor and become sacred preachers!

"Long live the great fusion of all races in the galaxy! Praise the Four-Armed Divine Emperor!"

The four-armed angels roared, with cunning and cruel light flashing in their eyes.

Of course they understand what humans’ intentions are, which are nothing more than trying to divert trouble away, but so what?

They don't care! The Hive Fleet doesn't care even more!

Anyway, they are all local specialties of the Milky Way, as long as they are rich in nutritional value. As long as you can enjoy eating, it doesn’t matter where you eat it, right?

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

On the outskirts of the Bok An system, inside the bridge of the Explorer-class starship chosen as the flagship.

Commander O'visa gazed at the huge fleet outside the porthole with full confidence.

Although the three reinforcement fleets that came from various home worlds were not as large as the main fleet gathered in Dar Is, they still had two Explorer-class starships and 17 Merchant-class cruisers.

If they were facing a human expeditionary fleet of the same size as Dar Is, they would make the enemy pay a heavy price, but they would also suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out.

But fortunately, according to the intelligence they had, the human fleet was not large, with only one cruiser defined as a moon-class cruiser by humans. Although the firepower of their single starship could not match that of the human moon-class, their huge number could still easily crush humans!

However, this inevitably made the reinforcement fleet feel puzzled -

How on earth did the human fleet defeat the defense fleet of the world of Berk Anjiamen if it had only one Lunar-class cruiser?

True.

This human warship must have some powerful weapons, so it can destroy their starships and defense platforms one after another outside their detection range. However, although such weapons are amazingly powerful, they must consume a lot of energy, and the loading process must be very cumbersome, and it cannot be fired a second time in a short period of time.

This weapon will undoubtedly make the Tau people lose their advantage in long-range firepower, so they must get as close to the enemy as possible!

He believed that even if human weapons could carry out ultra-long-range strikes, the divination detection range of human warships would not be much larger than theirs. In order to shoot, the enemy had to get close enough to them to be included in the detection range of the divination instrument.

This also means that they only need to travel a certain distance in the direction of the attack to bring humans within the attack range!

In fact, that's exactly what he did.

In order to avoid being affected by the explosion, the fleet dispersed its formation under his order.

But even so, he still couldn't prevent starships from being hit, and eventually some starships would be destroyed by humans.

O'Visa understood it better than anyone else, but as the fleet commander, he had to make the decision.

Should we let humans leave, or destroy the human fleet at the cost of our own sacrifice.

He chose the latter!

BOOM!

Space was silent, but O'visa seemed to hear explosions.

On the tactical holographic projection, the shadow of a Merchant-class starship flickered and disappeared.

And outside the porthole, a bright light occupied his entire field of vision.

The light was so bright, shining like a star, taking away the lost life.

O'visa felt a wave of sadness. It was his order that led to the death of the starship and all the crew members on it. Facing human weapons, one of them must become a sacrifice to bear the first wave of human attacks.

This is a necessary sacrifice.

As long as humans can be destroyed and the horrific weapons on board can be seized, the Tau Empire will be qualified to confront the human fleet head-on!

Ou'visa suppressed the sadness in his heart, his eyes were firm:

"All ships, attack! Destroy humanity! For our fallen compatriots, for the Greater Good!"

"For the Greater Good!"

His communication channel was filled with the captains' enthusiastic shouts, and they all believed it.

Victory belongs to the Greater Good and will always belong to the Greater Good!

Chapter 66: Tzeentch: ???

Blazing stars bloomed in the void, and another starship joined the ranks of space hulks in a flash of light.

But luckily.

The Tau fleet, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally brought the Stars within its attack range.

"Fire!"

Following O'visa's cold command, the railgun on the bow of the Explorer-class starship quickly locked onto the target, and a shining beam of light pierced through the silent void from the barrel.

Moreover, it was not just him who opened fire, but also more than a dozen starships traveling with him!

Under the siege of more than a dozen starships, they can definitely overload the enemy's shields with a single salvo. Once the shields of the human warships are overloaded, the torpedoes they will launch will completely destroy the cruiser!

O'Visa believed that this would not be too difficult.

But unfortunately, reality is often contrary to expectations, and dozens of railgun rounds accurately hit human space battleships.

however.

Nothing happened.

The railgun successfully hit the target, as evidenced by the display on the tactical panel and the bright light bursting from the battleship's void shield. But the effect was almost nonexistent.

The human warship was still sailing in deep space, and even its speed was not affected at all!

"how come?"

O'visa found it hard to believe, but the Tau fleet kept firing, and kept firing.

Compared with human space battleships, the design of the Explorer-class starship is actually quite weird.

On the one hand, the Explorer-class starship is comparable in size to a battleship, but its firepower is only comparable to that of a cruiser, and its defense is even more dismal, only comparable to that of a light cruiser.

But if you ask what the Explorer-class starship has the advantage of, it is that their firepower is extremely excellent. Although the railgun and macrogun are almost the same in terms of firepower and overall effectiveness, the railgun has an advantage in terms of accuracy and rate of fire.

Because the Empire is an artificial team, but the Tau are a machine team.

"launch missile!"

O'visa gave orders again. They had originally planned to use railguns to paralyze the human void shield in order to preserve the battleship as intact as possible, so that the Earth Caste could recover the weapons on the cruiser and reverse-engineer human technology.

But he couldn't care less now. If he couldn't even break the shield, what was the point of talking about recycling and reverse research?

The guided missile was launched from the gravity projector and accurately hit the enemy ship under the guidance of the drone!

But unfortunately, such attempts are still in vain.

Like its railgun brethren, their attacks caused a dazzling burst of light to erupt from the Stars' void shields.

But other than that, they get nothing.

At the same time, the Nova Cannon has been loaded and the firing parameters have already been calibrated.

boom!

The gun barrel vibrated violently, and the sound of the shot even penetrated into the hull through the outer shell.

At the moment the sound rang out, the Nova Cannon also hit the target at the same time - it was an Explorer-class starship.

Unfortunately.

The Tau had no means of protection against this.

The nova cannon exploded as calculated, and five Tau starships were swept by the blast wave. Because when the Tau fleet brought the Stars within its attack range, in order to concentrate firepower to paralyze the Stars' void shields as soon as possible, these starships inevitably began to gather in a dense array.

There is actually nothing wrong with this strategy.

Because under normal circumstances, the Moon-class cruiser really cannot withstand the salvos of more than a dozen starships.

Once the void shield is broken, there will naturally be no chance to launch the Nova Cannon.
