This time it was not the cruiser that was used as a decoy to attract firepower, but the transport ship.
Since the Chaos fleet had been besieged in the orbit of the Celestial Engine before, they were still besieged as they retreated, with one transport ship being sunk every minute.
In the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit, an Eternal War veteran who was temporarily transferred to command the Black Legion fleet held Abaddon's body, feeling painful and embarrassed as he watched the warmaster whose body was bleeding profusely and whose life and death were unknown.
Two hours ago, an ax appeared from nowhere and chopped down the enemy's iron planet until it was paralyzed. This was the reason why the landing battle could begin.
But doesn’t the Warmaster know that the enemy’s navy still has an overwhelming advantage?
Regardless of whether the Iron Planet has not been captured now, even if it is captured, how will it face the siege of the Tyron Navy?
The veteran holding Abaddon frowned and thought hard.
"Warmaster..."
"Please tell me, what should I do..."
The veteran begged Abaddon in a low voice, but Abaddon showed no response.
The wound on Abaddon's body can be seen from the front to the back. This kind of injury has never been seen before. The wizards and pharmacists who came to check before said that the Warmaster was not completely dead, but his vitality was very weak, and this was extremely weak. The vitality is still passing by with time.
When the veteran was helpless, Abaddon's eyelids trembled twice, his remaining arm trembled slightly, and he tapped the floor of the bridge with a trembling finger.
The veteran was stunned for a moment, and quickly took Abaddon's hand, thinking that the war commander wanted to explain something to him.
But Abaddon said nothing, just drew circles on the veteran's hand with his fingers.
It is extremely difficult for Abaddon to draw circles with his fingers now, but he still insists on drawing, painting intermittently, and in the end he just draws on the veteran's hand.
"Circle..." The veteran thought for a moment and suddenly realized what the Warmaster meant, "Vortex torpedo! Vortex torpedo!"
There are also vortex torpedoes on the Vengeful Spirit, and there are many of them, twenty-five in total.
Abaddon had previously given Typhons one and said it was the last vortex torpedo, but both the speaker and the listener knew that after the eternal war against Cadia began, what everyone said Only fifty percent of all words are true.
"I'm going to activate the vortex torpedo." The veteran stood up immediately, dipped his sword in the blood flowing from Abaddon's wound, and then walked towards the ammunition depot with the sword held high.
The whirlpool torpedoes stored in the ammunition depot are guarded, and the guards are people who only take orders from Abaddon. They don't care who the top leaders of the Black Legion choose to preside over the situation, they only care whether the orders they receive are from Abaddon. .
When the veteran walked into the ammunition depot with his blood-stained sword held high, all the guards looked at the veteran.
The Watchers are also veterans of long battles.
"The Warmaster has..." The veteran planned to explain the situation to the watchers, but the watchers didn't listen at all and took action immediately.
The vortex torpedoes are loaded into the torpedo launcher, and instead of being fired out all at once, one is fired every five minutes.
Abaddon knew that whether he could capture the Iron Planet or not, he would have to face the siege of the Tyron navy, and he also figured out a way to disperse the Tyron navy.
……
The vortex torpedo emerged from the Vengeful Spirit's only intact torpedo launcher and flew straight ahead.
The torpedoes rushed past every ship in the Chaos Fleet, flying towards the Talon ship blocking the fleet's evacuation path.
The torpedo exploded, and a purple vortex appeared on the battlefield. The moment the purple vortex appeared, the Tyrone ship initiated the highest-priority protocol on its own, allowing the ship to urgently enter the dimensional space to avoid being sucked into the subspace.
Because the Blackstone Obelisk is activated, the vortex created by the vortex torpedo is very small, but it still has the effect of killing any ship instantly.
The vortex began to move around in the galaxy. Qin Mo, who was just about to intervene in the pursuit battle, could only take out his hand to deal with the vortex torpedo first to limit the movement trajectory of the vortex.
The vortex began to move towards the Chaos Fleet.
Qin Mo cannot directly control the vortex itself, but he can control the space in which the vortex is located, twisting the trajectory of the vortex to make it move in the opposite direction.
But there is a subspace god who is also paying attention to this pursuit battle. It can directly control the vortex itself, so it drives the vortex to fly rapidly towards the Tyrone fleet.
Qin Mo can only distort the space near the vortex, making the distance between the vortex and everything around it infinitely long, making it look like it has stopped.
Another vortex torpedo was launched, but before it could create a vortex on the battlefield, Qin Mo distorted its flight trajectory and was thrown directly into the vortex created previously.
Qin Mo fought against the evil god who interfered with the battle until the vortex disappeared.
Qin Mo withdrew his hand and immediately exerted influence on the Chaos Fleet. These ships have been located in the Eye of Terror or subspace for a long time and have been soaked with spiritual energy. They are no longer even part of the material universe. Qin Mo cannot directly control the ships to decompose them. .
But just like containing a vortex, as long as these psychic gadgets appear in the physical universe, there are always ways to interfere with them.
Qin Mo moved every ship of the Chaos Fleet back to the celestial engine, making all his efforts from the beginning of the evacuation in vain.
But just as the Chaos fleet was about to be shattered by the Tyron Navy's light spears, the whirlpool torpedoes on the Terminus exploded.
The gods of the Warp harnessed the psionic energy released from the Vortex, which was laughably scant but still usable under the Obelisk's suppression, and the Terminus was disintegrated and transformed into a portal to the Warp.
Qin Mo originally wanted to increase the power of the black stone obelisk to the extreme so that the galaxy could no longer be infiltrated by spiritual energy, but he thought that the souls of his own people in the galaxy would also be expelled, so he did not do so.
"You want to enter the door, okay." Qin Mo began to distort the space around the Chaos Fleet, making these warships obviously sailing at full speed but could not sail more than one meter even for half a day, and could not get close to the door that the Terminus had turned into.
The bodies of the psykers and wizards in the Chaos Fleet exploded. They could have released a huge amount of psychic energy at the end of their lives, but the psychic energy they could release now was like a drop of water. This weak psychic energy could still be used.
Tentacles covered with pustules sprouted from the door, and there were even some blue feathers attached to the tentacles.
The warship began to be entangled in tentacles and pulled into the warp.
After doing this, the dark gods looked away from the galaxy.
With the Blackstone Obelisk open, the tentacled door is all the dark gods can do with their noses in hand and their best efforts.
If this doesn't make the servants leave, then let them die here.
Chapter 251 For Tai Lung
……
Tyrone Navy, inside the ship Path of Glory.
The captain named Sain watched everything on the battlefield from a macro perspective.
The Path of Glory was firing at the Vengeful Spirit, and the Vengeful Spirit's void shields intercepted every shot.
There wouldn't be much time to bombard the Spirit of Vengeance, because a tentacle had already wrapped around the ancient battleship and began to drag it toward the flesh door.
"The cruiser's firepower is not enough after all. It is estimated that it will take another seven minutes to break the void shield!" the weapons officer reported loudly.
Sain had already anticipated this report, and the auxiliary thinking AI linked to his brain had already reached a conclusion in advance.
It would be nice to have a battleship nearby.
However, the Tyrone Lord battleship had already entered the dimensional space due to the violent subspace energy reaction and left the battlefield.
Sain suddenly felt a little strange.
When the vortex appeared on the battlefield, the Lord of Tyrone and a large number of other warships all evacuated urgently, except for the Path of Glory.
Since the last time the Lord of Tyrone left the battlefield in an emergency, everyone in the fleet knew that there was an emergency protocol in the battleship, which would activate the protocol and leave the battle when a strong subspace energy reaction was detected.
Doesn’t the Path of Glory have this agreement?
Sain began to check all the protocols on the battleship, and finally found the defense protocol with the highest priority.
There is still an agreement, but the battleship just did not implement it...
After thinking hard for a while, Sain suddenly recalled what he heard from an Imperial Navy ship when the Tyron Navy and the Imperial Navy fought side by side in the Obscure Star Field.
Some ancient or special symbolic battleships will be born out of self-consciousness. The people of the Mechanicus call this self-consciousness the machine soul.
Machine spirits occasionally disobey orders or do amazing things due to the influence of the God-Emperor.
If the Path of Glory had been another ship in Tyron's fleet, Thain would not have recalled hearing this anecdote.
The battleship he is on is not ancient, but it has symbolic meaning.
The Path of Glory is the first warship of the Tyron Navy. After it was born from the orbital dock, it was used to deal with the three warships of the rebellious Governor. When the Path of Glory sank the enemy ship and took control of the orbit of Tyron II, news reached the nest. Everyone cheered for this event.
After being assigned to be the captain of this battleship, Sain also discovered that this battleship was a bit strange. For example, when everyone was sleeping at night, they would hear the battleship playing exciting music...
When you leave the cabin and walk inside the battleship, you will see the phantom of a veteran wearing armor.
"Report! The enemy ship is about to leave the battlefield!"
A report pulled Sain out of his thoughts, and he immediately looked ahead.
Half of the Vengeful Spirit has been pulled through the door. If something is not done, the battleship will leave safely.
"We're the only ones around it, we gotta do something!"
one of the crew shouted.
"We can't let it escape. The Vengeful Spirit is the flagship. As long as it exists, it means that the enemy's fleet still exists. This time it was Cadia that was attacked, and the next time it may be the Tyrone sector!"
"Think of a way! Captain!"
"..."
Saiin listened to the shouts of his subordinates and calmly issued an order: "Charge the dimension engine."
The crew thought the captain wanted to evacuate, but the crew member responsible for controlling the engine hesitated and did not immediately execute the order.
"I said charge the dimensional engine!" Sein suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the crew member operating the engine and roared at him to repeat the order.
The crew immediately complied.
The Dimension Engine begins to charge.
In the space created by the battleship's command device, which can be controlled by the captain at will, all the crew members were pulled in front of the captain.
"We are unlikely to annihilate the enemy's fleet." Saiin said to the crew, "but we can find a way to kill the enemy's flagship, making it impossible for their flagship to appear in the next war."
The crew listened quietly and nodded in agreement.
"Do you still remember what the people from the Navy Department said when we came out to help the Cadians fight?" Sain suddenly asked.
The crew reminisced.
In fact, the Tyrone Navy did not really want to leave the Tyrone Star Sector and come to the Obscure Star Territory to fight. The Admiralty told everyone why it wanted to fight a war that had nothing to do with the Tyrone Star Sector.
A war is burning in the Cadian Gate Defense Zone, and it will spread until the war burns across the entire galaxy, and no force of any race or culture can stay away.
When the Cadian Gate defense zone is destroyed, the Tyrone sector will be isolated in darkness. No matter what kind of crisis the sector suffers, the sky and the earth will not respond.
The Tyrone Navy doesn't know why the Cadian Gate was destroyed and the Tyrone Sector would be isolated in the darkness. The Cadian Gate is obviously far away from the Tyrone Sector...
But these words were only repeated by people from the Admiralty. The original words were spoken by the Lord of Tyrone. No Tyrone person, whether stupid or smart, would question the words of the Lord of Tyrone.
The Tyrone Navy has no special feelings for Creed or Cadia, nor does it have any feelings for the grand concept of the Empire. In the opinion of each crew member, there is only one reason for participating in this war:
To prevent the newly peaceful Tyrone sector from being drawn into the war.
