Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

Chapter 464: Small Loss, Big Win

Costwain led the team forward. The team had few bombs and batteries left, and the plasma fuel tank was almost empty.

The Dalian that once numbered a thousand men now had only a few hundred, and several encounters between the elite inner ring fighters and the alien enemies were sudden and brutal.

The Legion's base was surrounded and there was no way back, but the other evacuation point was on the other side of the planet and the vehicle had been destroyed.

The situation between the two hunting teams on the planet is clear, and the aliens are stronger.

Climbing the mountain, reaching the top, looking into the distance to confirm the reference, the group of Astartes carefully slid down the cliff.

They were very careful and cautious, jumping and moving on the raised parts.

Although the slope was steep, it was still acceptable for the Astartes. The real difficulty was that everyone was injured, their armor was broken, and the worst case even had their backpacks damaged.

Once you ignore the lifespan consumption, a backpack strike can be a lot of fun.

Everyone in their team suffered minor injuries. If they had been more seriously injured, they wouldn't have survived until now.

Sliding down the mountainside, Coswayn looked up at the dark blue sky.

Two balls of burning steel and a bunch of debris fell down. From the looks of it, it seemed that the cruiser was broken in half and fell in two parts.

The sound wave followed soon after, and the buzzing sound caused the pickup to vibrate.

"The fleet is not doing well."

As if in response to his words, fire-tailed meteors began to appear in groups, illuminating the sky and the ground with colorful and dazzling colors.

There are those from the Empire and those from aliens.

The survivability of those alien warships is extremely strong, and the Imperial Light Spears need to continuously concentrate fire multiple times to destroy their shields and destroy the enemy.

In space, the Imperial battleships launched a charge under the protection of cruisers and frigates, attempting to engage in a boarding battle with the enemy that would best utilize the Astartes' strengths.

The destroyer fleet fought to the death with the enemy transport fleet regardless of life and death.

Warships are falling every moment, and the frigate's petite size is not suitable for participating in frontal battlefields.

They are the battleships' shields, helping to set up a defense network and interfere with divination signals as much as possible.

Ryan stared at the huge object in the distance. It was a mechanical planet with dozens of satellites forming a ring overlooking the battlefield.

The Paragon of Abomination led the guerrilla fleet to hunt down the Randan support fleet, while the Razor of Truth, as the core of the battleship cluster, kept firing at the Randan fleet.

The Indomitable Truth and the remaining reserve forces were responsible for confronting the Randan battle planet.

"Hold steady, break through, advance, and do not retreat."

The First Legion fleet is of high quality and has very strong execution capabilities.

The Fourth Legion's Warsmith once said bluntly: "The Dark Angels Fleet, like the Luna Wolves, uses textbook tactics. Once they get the order, they can attack. Once they launch the attack, they can break in. Once they open a gap, they can occupy it."

After a long and fierce battle, both sides deployed more and more warships, and the organized Randan fleet had appeared on the edge of the battlefield.

It is difficult to control the situation with only three Queen of Glory-class battleships and dozens of star fortresses.

Despite the pressure from senior officers and the Primarch, his captain gritted his teeth and advised the Lion King, hoping that he would order a retreat.

It would be meaningless to persist at this point and waste military strength.

"Send two more battle barges to pick up Coswayn. The black box they have is extremely important."

Deleting the newly released battle report, Ryan pointed firmly at the projected map and gave clear and accurate orders.

The order has been given and no one can disobey it. The fleet continues to attack at the risk of its life, so that the energy weapons of both sides have to clear the wreckage of the warships before they can continue to destroy the enemy ships.

At the same time, the Alpha Legion's fleet had completed its flanking move and was ready for a surprise attack.

Ever since he failed to persuade Lion to compete for the position of Warmaster, Alphaben has decided to persuade Sanguinius.

Having more Warmaster candidates could distract Chaos and waste their strength, but Ryan not only refused to listen, he also grabbed them and wanted to make them auxiliary troops.

For this reason, the Hydra Primarch was constantly complaining in his heart. It was true that the troops he brought were used for fighting, but that was the exchange he made after Lion agreed to the conditions, not something he gave away for free!

Ryan demonstrated the battle situation and took Alpha to visit the First Legion's arsenal, allowing his brothers to see the Empire's high-tech and broaden their horizons.

Alpha immediately withdrew his dissatisfaction. After all, when serving the empire, any sacrifice is a sacrifice, right?

Mortarion went to suppress the Cult of the Dragon (official position, where he got the lantern), Guilliman was running his own empire, Lorgar was preaching... The other Primarchs each had their own things to do, and there were really not many Primarchs who could come.

The raid begins and something unexpected happens.

The Randan aliens actually deployed hundreds of star fortresses onto the battlefield again, and the powerful firepower instantly suppressed the momentum of the empire's charge.

The white light of the void shield reflected the universe, sparks flew from the back of the battleship, and its engines exploded one after another.

At this time, the fleet was in a rather awkward position. The battle barges had arrived at the location and had already begun to pick up people despite the mental pollution of the alien psychics.

The battleship cannot penetrate the ground, that would mean it crashes, and it would take time for the gunboat to fly back.

If the fleet doesn't turn around, the distance between them and the enemy will be too close.

It is true that the Imperial battleships have strong broadside firepower, but the Star Fortresses have even stronger firepower. If you show your side in front of the enemy's superior firepower at close range, just wait for your core to be exploded.

The Primarch felt a little regretful. Omega was repairing the two Queens of Glory of the Legion. He knew that Randan was very strong and it would be difficult to fight him without the Queen of Glory, but he still thought he could delay him.

The only way for the Primarch to remedy his mistake was the Star Fortress. The shield and structure of the Star Fortress were strong enough. Even if they charged in as a team under fire, they could still withstand some of the star-destroying weapons.

After a thousand thoughts, Alpha realized that one more second would mean more losses for the First Legion. He made up his mind and ordered the battle barge to tow the star fortress and smash it over. Life would be over!

The projection was removed, and Star Fortress went all out.

Ran Dan planet, who was sitting in the rear, was obviously stunned. In the core of the star, Fang Dinghan's consciousness was greatly shocked. How long has it been?

Are there still onboard fleets in this era?

"Silent Flaming Sun, activate the etheric phase engine, aim the interdimensional chain, and prepare to charge the core."

An invisible light bridge enveloped the assault fleet, and the next moment all the star fortresses were transformed into energy. At the same time, the corresponding subspace area collapsed. The two energies were incompatible, but they obediently passed through the thick planetary armor and merged into the core, adding power to the war machine.

"Barbarians are barbarians, and they simply cannot understand the mysteries of Celestial Empire's technology.

Cricket Energy Mine, still want to play fish to death net broken. "

"Admiral, why don't you take them all?"

The Hrude crew was puzzled. They thought that the other side was weak and they shouldn't let the tiger go back to the mountain.

"The other leader and I have a history. After all, we worked together before Your Majesty.

Stay on top of being a human being.

If those guys weren't so uncultured, I wouldn't have been so ruthless."

The Imperial offensive stopped, Ryan called out to his brothers on the signal channel, and commanded the fleet to retreat in sequence.

The most convenient armed gunboats and large-mass transport ships are used as mobile shelters to cover the rear, while the precious battleships go first.

Fortunately, Coswayn has returned, and the defeat in the first battle was not too bad.
