Warhammer, but Emperor's Chosen

"Sir, we are under attack, it's that frigate!"

"Damn it!"

Legris cursed inwardly, but his mind remained calm, "Contact the Dagonus fleet and tell them we're under attack!"

"Full engine speed, get us out of the planet's orbit!"

"All weapons arrays, free fire allowed!"

Remaining in orbit around a planet until discovered can help avoid detection by enemy scanning arrays.

But if we have been discovered, continuing to stay here will make us a sitting duck!

Legris did not hold out much hope of escaping the enemy's pursuit. Although the strike cruisers were known for their speed among cruisers, they could not outrun the Dark Eldar warships. He could only pray that Dagonus's fleet would arrive as soon as possible!

"Pallas."

Legris said in a deep voice, "I will try my best to avoid the enemy's attack, but you must lead people to guard the gene seed bank at all costs!"

"I know that without you telling me, my brother."

Pallas responded from the communication bead, "This may be our end, but it is definitely not the end of the Soul Drinkers!"

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

"Strike cruiser?"

Malazhai Azeroth showed a teasing smile, "This is really an unexpected gain, let all the ships take action!"

"grown ups."

A Dark Eldar whispered, "I'm afraid these monkey-transformed warriors are not so easy to provoke."

"What do you know?"

Malazhai glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Didn't you see that they were hiding behind the planet? This means that they knew we were here, so they deliberately hid from us here! Then why do you think they were hiding from us?"

The Dark Eldar replied subconsciously:

“Because they’re afraid of us.”

Malazhai said slowly:

"If they are not easy to deal with, why should they be afraid of us?"

"I see!"

The Dark Eldar suddenly realized and complimented, "Sir, you have indeed thought it through."

"Yes."

Malazhai chuckled, as if whispering.

The dark elves thought that Malazai had some instructions, and subconsciously moved closer to hear clearly.

But the next moment, he felt a chill in his heart.

He lowered his head and saw the sharp blade had pierced his chest.

But the knife did not pierce his heart and he was still alive.

Good news: He's not dead.

The bad news: He's still alive.

Malazhai ordered slowly:

"Go, hang him up there. I need to relieve my boredom before I catch those humans."

As he spoke, he gave the Dark Eldar a gentle smile:

"Don't worry, if you are still alive by then, I will let you go."

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

boom!

The Bloody Fist's void shield glowed brightly, diverting beams of light coming from afar into the warp.

Legris stared at the tactical panel, which normally would have the enemy's position marked with red runes.

But now, it's almost broken.

Only when the enemy warship opens fire will the enemy's position be briefly marked on it.

But every time they shot their spears of light at the enemy, they achieved nothing.

Because the enemy's speed is too fast!

Whether it is the Ark Eldar or the Dark Eldar, their ships all implement the concept of "speed is invincible". They are highly maneuverable and have high output, but their defense is extremely low. They can be destroyed by just a light spear or macro cannon.

But with their high maneuverability and speed, humans' macro cannons can never catch up with them.

The light spear could catch up but couldn't hit.

Because the Ark Eldar have holographic stances, the Dark Eldar also have shadow stances.

The shadow position is slightly different from the holographic position. This position can form a mist-like position that distorts light to make the warship invisible. With their current auspicious array, they may never be able to find the enemy's exact location, let alone hit the enemy.

They can only passively take the beating!

This is also one of the tactics commonly used by the Dark Eldar, relying on the advantage of high mobility to constantly maneuver.

They would wait until they overloaded the void shields of the human warships, and then destroy all their weapon arrays and warship engines from a distance. Only when the human warships stopped would they land on the human ships and plunder the population on them.

Legris was well aware of the enemy's situation, but he could do nothing.

If he had enough ships, he could blockade a large enough area of ​​space, making it easier to locate the Dark Eldar and destroy them with spears of light.

But unfortunately, he only had these two strike cruisers, and even only two frigates.

According to the Thinker's estimate, the enemy's fleet had at least seven ships.

Maybe more, maybe less.

It is always difficult to tell the exact number of these invisible alien spacecraft.

The only thing Legris was thankful for now was that the void shield of the strike cruiser lasted longer than he had imagined.

This might be because the firepower of the Dark Eldar was not as terrible as rumored, otherwise why couldn't they shoot through their shields for so long? Could it be that their shields had become thicker?

Legris thought of this possibility, but soon broke into laughter.

How is this possible?

The power of the Void Shield is there, how could it become thicker for no reason?

But no matter what the reason is, it’s good that the void shield was not broken.

As long as the void shield is still there, those Eldar who like to attack by surprise will not dare to land on their ships, which can delay more time.

Dagonus' fleet is on the way and they will arrive soon.

As long as the two sides meet, it's time for them to fight back!

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

"Why hasn't it broken yet?!"

Malazhai stabbed the dark elf operating the weapon array in the kidney, his words filled with barely suppressed anger.

"grown ups."

The Dark Eldar covered his waist, but did not dare to resist at all, "You know, the monkey's void shield is always difficult to break..."

"Do you take me for a fool?!"

Malazhai stabbed him again and said coldly, "I have looted the monkey's strike cruiser more than once. Their void shields are definitely not that powerful! Did you secretly lower the power of the weapons?"

"……grown ups……"

The Dark Eldar's face turned pale. "How could I possibly do such a thing? Even if I really lowered the power of my weapons, the people on the other ships can't also lower the power of their weapons, right?"

"Who knows?"

Malazhai kicked him away and wanted to do it himself!

He just didn't believe that he couldn't break the monkey's mouth!

"grown ups!"

He heard the panicked voices of his subordinates.

"what's up?"

"It's the human reinforcement fleet!"

Malazhai suddenly looked at the tactical screen, which was flashing dozens of red dots, which made him frown.

Malazhai removed his hand from the weapon control panel:

"Tsk, what a bummer."

"Should we retreat, sir?"

"What's the hurry? Have some fun with them."

Chapter 100: Being able to unite people against a common enemy is also a kind of ability

"Sir, we found the target!" White shouted.

Noah stared at the blue runes representing friendly forces on the tactical panel, as well as the red runes that flashed and disappeared from time to time during attacks, and calmly gave orders:

"Let the escort fleet meet up and rendezvous with the Bloody Fist first. All other battleships should be dispersed to the periphery to provide cover!"

As the order was issued, the escort formation consisting of more than 20 frigates quickly sailed towards the Soul Drinker's fleet, while the Stars led four slower cruisers and three strike cruisers to cruise on the periphery.

Among them, four cruisers and three strike cruisers were escorting on the left and right wings of the fleet respectively, and only the Stars was leading the way alone at the front of the fleet.

Most of the ships in this fleet belonged to the Dagonus Defense Fleet, including four cruisers and 17 frigates. Although the defense fleet could not sail across star systems due to the lack of warp engines and Geller force fields, its firepower, speed and protection were no less than those of warships of the same tonnage, and it was more than enough to perform patrol and defense tasks within the star system.

With the faster speed, the escort fleet quickly and successfully reunited with the Bloody Fist despite the firepower of the Dark Eldar. This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

With the protection of the escort fleet, the Dark Eldar no longer dared to attack the Soul Drinker's strike cruiser easily. After all, the Dark Eldar's ships have always been known for their high attack and low defense, and even the firepower of the frigate can easily destroy them.

Even if the firepower of a single frigate cannot hit the target, if more than 20 frigates fire at the same time, at least the probability of hitting the target will be much higher.

Faced with this huge fleet, the Dark Eldar usually would not risk the destruction of their ships and the loss of their lives. Instead, they would choose to temporarily withdraw to the Webway Gate and wait for the next opportunity to plunder. Moreover, the human fleet would be considered successful as long as it could safely return to Dagonus' orbit.

But this Dark Eldar pirate fleet did not play by the rules.

On the tactical panel, red runes flashed frequently in front of the Stars, and White also issued a warning:

"Captain! A large number of torpedoes and missiles have been detected ahead!"

"They're forcing us to get out of the way!"

Noah immediately saw what the Dark Eldar were planning, his eyes flashed, and he said:

"Nono, turn to port, but don't avoid!"

As expected, the Dark Eldar did not let go of the lone Stars, and this was exactly what Noah expected!

Soon, Nono maneuvered the Stars to turn to the left, deviating from the original route at a narrow angle.

But this small angle was not enough to avoid the missiles with automatic search function. The missiles and torpedoes hit the void shield of the Stars one after another, causing a series of shining sparks on the surface.

At the same time as the missiles hit the void shield, several Dark Eldar ships also appeared in the detection range of the Auspicious Spectrum from all directions, shooting their phantom light spears at the Stars!

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

Malazhai's mouth curled into a happy and cruel smile, just as he expected.

The strike cruiser must be hiding something precious, so the monkey's fleet would protect it at all costs. But the monkey came too fast, and the huge escort formation consisting of more than 20 frigates did make Malazhai dare not act rashly.

But it was precisely because Monkey was eager to protect the Bloody Fist that their original fleet formation was disrupted and the main battleships were left exposed.

Isn't this a living target prepared for them?

Most of the other battleships were formed in pairs, but the Moon-class cruiser was alone in formation, without the cover of any other ships.

This is simply a God-sent opportunity!

How could Malazhai let it go so easily?

Even if we can't destroy the strike cruiser that Monkey wants to protect, it would be good to destroy a cruiser!
