"Start the engine and head to enemy-occupied territory." Foros ordered.
"Yes, Chapter Commander." Tessa nodded, turned around and picked up the communicator to issue orders to the entire fleet.
Flagship of the Lady of the Storm.
Twelve strike cruisers.
Twenty-seven frigates.
The crews of all battleships were ready to sail and jumped into the dimensional space after the dimensional engine of the Storm Lady's flagship was turned on and created a rift.
After sailing in the dimension for half an hour, the Chapter fleet arrived at the edge of Five Hundred Worlds.
This place is called Onila.
After the power of the Five Hundred Worlds was forcibly transferred to the Space Marines by Guilliman, the Four Heroes were established.
The Four Heroes manage large areas in the four directions of Ultramar, southeast, northwest, and the core area where Macragge is located is managed by Chapter Master Calgar.
At this time, the Weeper fleet arrived at the jurisdiction of one of the Four Heroes, Felix.
The attack here has been the most violent, and less than half of the entire area has been lost.
When talking to Guilliman before, Foros said that he wanted to be the vanguard, but his actual idea was to take over the worlds before the combined fleets of Five Hundred Worlds and Tyrone arrived.
This is not to grab credit.
The genetic father of the Weeper is not even the Lord of Ultramar, and no matter how meritorious it is, it is not their turn to reward them, so Foros's idea is just to avoid the casualties caused by the great fleet's reconquest of many worlds.
The fleets of Ultramar and Talon totaled more than 4,500 warships. It was not easy for such a large fleet to operate like an arm, and accidental damage was inevitable during the attack.
This is a matter of intelligence coordination and large army operations.
But as a battleship fleet of less than a hundred warships, Foros was confident that these warships would not destroy the homes of certain people in a certain world for the sake of efficiency during the attack, and would not accidentally injure anyone.
Originally this was impossible to accomplish. After all, the Death Guard was not a force adapted into a war group following the Holy Code. But now the enemy is gradually withdrawing from the Five Hundred Worlds. It seems that they will completely give up this offensive against the Five Hundred Worlds. This This means that a large Death Guard fleet will not appear.
"Starting from this planet, we will drive out and kill the enemies one by one." Foros walked to the porthole and looked at the gray planet in front of the battleship.
The moment the flagship arrived at the galaxy, a large number of distress signals from the planet in front of it were sent to the flagship.
"Start fighting!" The first company commander left the bridge and shouted to the battle brothers on the other side of the communicator.
Seven hundred mourners came out in full force and were teleported directly to the surface of the planet.
On the surface of the planet, the Plague Marines were killing auxiliary soldiers and militiamen. They thought it would be some time before the large-scale fleet came over, but when seven hundred Wailers appeared directly behind them to launch an attack, they thought The large-scale fleet composed of thousands of warships has already arrived.
For the Weeper, this was another crushing battle.
Less than two hundred Death Guard Chaos Space Marines faced off against more than a hundred Terminator squads of the Lamenters Chapter.
This is similar to what happened during the Great Rebellion in the 30k era, when a small squad of Space Marines from a stray Legion ran head-on into a Terminator force of an enemy Legion.
It is only a matter of time before the entire Onila system is recovered.
……
at the same time.
First Captain of the Death Guard, Typhons.
The Terminus, which was blown away by a void mine for one kilometer in the Battle of Cartier, is now making repairs and joining the battle again.
Although Typhons could see the repair marks while standing on the bridge, and recalled the scene of the Void Thunder explosion, he could only pinch his nose and bear it, otherwise he couldn't throw away the Terminus.
Today, the Terminus commands thousands of battleships, forming a large-scale plague fleet.
Most warships are gifts from Father Nurgle.
Not just warships made of flesh and blood, but those in the Imperial Navy or the Ultramar Sector that would be corrupted by Nurgle many years in the future, but are now corrupted by Nurgle's unfaithfulness and join the Plague Fleet.
After being resurrected by his respected father, Typhons got the battleship, and he only heard one request from his respected father, which was to avenge his respected father.
If it weren't for the purpose of avenging his respected father, Typhons would have led his men to run away long ago. How could he have accompanied Mortarion to continue to fight the Five Hundred Worlds?
"We are about to enter the Onila system."
"It's still twenty-five light years away from Galatan Star Castle."
The Plague Adjutant reported to Typhons.
Galatan Star Castle, this is the purpose of Typhons's trip.
There are several star forts in the Five Hundred Worlds, among which the Galatan Star Fortress is the most powerful one. It was born in the prosperous age of mankind.
Destroy the Galatan Star Fortress, or even go further, corrode the Galatan Star Fortress, this is what Typhons wants.
But this was not Mortarion's idea. Typhons was sent several death shrouds by Mortarion to persuade him when he came out, but Typhons had always regarded the Gene Father as nothing.
The signature of the Chaos Space Marines is that the command system is chaotic. Those above give orders and those below do not listen. If you are unhappy, don't join in the chaos.
"Pass my order to stop in the Onila system and plunder the locals to replenish some zombie cannon fodder."
The fleet sailed in the subspace for a while, and finally crossed out of the subspace and entered the Onila system.
Chapter 556 Proud Son
The Lamentor fleet commanded by the flagship of the Storm Lady is in the orbit of Onira 1, conducting orbital bombardment of the enemy lines.
Captain Tessa in the bridge is always observing the situation of the entire galaxy. She is sitting on the command throne, and her neck is connected with the thin line extending from the throne, forming an effect similar to Captain Tyrone's direct connection with the battleship.
So although Tessa was on the bridge, she felt like she was above the entire fleet. She soon saw the enemy fleet suddenly crossing the subspace from the Mandeville Point in the northern part of the galaxy.
A massive plague fleet.
"End the orbital bombing and get everyone into combat mode!" Tessa's order spread throughout the fleet.
All battleships ended their orbital bombardment, and the battleship crews immediately went to combat positions.
The battleships were taken over by Tessa. The frigates surrounded the strike cruiser. The Storm Daughter was in the middle of the array, forming a defensive formation to delay the recharging of the dimension engine.
The Plague Fleet led by Typhons on the opposite side saw the Weeper fleet, but due to the low communication efficiency, only the battleships in the front that actually saw the enemy ships formed a battle formation immediately, while the battleships in the rear were in augury. After detecting the enemy ship, they slowly assembled.
Typhons directly used his psychic powers to spread the order throughout the fleet, ordering the fleet to attack immediately.
"Bleeding red heart." Typhons stood up from the Throne of Flesh and walked towards the porthole, "Isn't this the flagship of our old friend Foros? The end of this flagship is that it will either be destroyed by us or robbed by us!"
An entire Plague Fleet crew heard Typhons's psychic transmission and swarmed towards the Lamenter fleet.
In this situation of fighting with an absolute numerical advantage, the fleet does not need to form any formation at all. Only by swarming in with full firepower can the battle be resolved quickly.
The fleets of both sides were shooting at each other at a distance of millions of kilometers. The light spears fired by both fleets, the fire of macro cannons, and the torpedo swarms rushing towards the other side's fleet could be seen on the surface of the planet.
The battleships of the Plague Fleet took turns withstanding the torrent of particles emitted by the particle spears, and the void shield deflected all these attacks before they were overloaded.
As for those torpedoes, only a small number of the battleship Devourer torpedoes given by Father Nurgle broke through, intercepted, hit the void shield, and were sent into the subspace.
Compared to the Plague Fleet, the situation on the Weeper Fleet seems a bit difficult.
A large number of attacks activated the energy shields of each battleship. The energy that normally maintained operation but was not visible visually turned into blue transparent spheres due to the violent attacks.
The close-defense weapon array was operating at overload, smashing tens of thousands of torpedoes into the void.
"Chapter Commander, the Astartes should return to the flagship immediately, and then we evacuate." Tessa looked at Foros at the porthole.
At this time, Foros stood with his back to Tessa, looking at the various attacks that hit the energy shield.
The light is slightly dim.
Tessa couldn't see Flowers' face or expression.
When the light of the macrocannon shells bursting on the shield was transmitted to the bridge, Foros's handsome face was illuminated by the firelight, and his deep eye sockets were filled with firm eyes.
"We cannot retreat."
Foros's tone was very calm, as usual.
"It will take a while for the Grand Fleet to arrive. If we retreat before then, the enemy will plunder the civilians and leave before our Grand Fleet arrives."
"The battle aboard Onila One must continue, and the civilians protected by our battle brothers must continue to be protected."
The current situation reminded Foros of the battle that almost led to the destruction of the Weepers.
To protect a group of slaves, the Lamenters fought until they were nearly destroyed.
In the end, those slaves could not watch the Emperor's Angels die because of them, so they forced themselves to stay and sacrifice themselves, causing the Lamenters to lose the lives of those they protected, and then they no longer made meaningless sacrifices and had to evacuate.
Many people in the war group still think about that battle to this day.
What if the war group at that time had the strength now?
The answer is that not only the slaves and civilians on the planet will be saved, but the enemies will also be completely annihilated. No armed force can resist seven hundred Terminator warriors.
But the problem is that you can't do it again.
At that time, the mourners needed to face a tragic ending and make a choice. But if they still need to face a tragic ending now, they still need to consider whether to abandon civilians, or even let civilians give up their lives for their consideration... that is He failed to live up to the many generous help given by the Lord of Tyrone.
"Launch the positioning torpedo group." Foros turned around and ordered Tessa, then walked to the bridge armory and performed an iris scan.
The bridge armory opened, and a drone flew out to replace Foros with his exclusive Terminator armor.
Tessa already realized what Foros was going to do at this time: "No, Chapter Leader, you should not join the gang..."
"You are my captain, and you must obey my orders." As soon as Foros finished speaking, the helmet was placed on his head, and part of the visor fell and closed.
The sound of heavy footsteps entered the bridge.
After the gate opened, a team of twenty Terminators entered the bridge.
These twenty men were the bodyguard of Foros.
His name is Son of Pride.
This name comes from the name given to the Lamenters by the Primarch Sanguinius himself after meeting them.
When Sanguinius's living metal body was sent to Baal, all the children rushed to Baal to meet their father.
Sanguinius told everyone in public that he was proud and proud of having children like the Lamenters, so the Foros Guard was named by Sanguinius as the proud sons. This is the ultimate representative of the entire Lamenters Chapter. The names of powerful warriors.
These twenty soldiers are warriors who have fought since the founding of the Chapter. Their qualifications are even older than Foros. Each of them can become the Chapter Master, but the reason why they did not become the Chapter Master is that the previous Chapter Master selected him. Foros, and Foros proved to be a leader more than anyone else, convincing the veterans of the Chapter.
Each of the twenty warriors of the Pride Sons Guard has fought in all the wars the Chapter has fought and is still alive today.
But this is because the Weeper has been short-staffed for a long time since its establishment, and even the most senior veterans have to go into battle personally.
Every piece of Terminator Armor worn by every member of the Pride Sons Guard was personally improved and designed by a Tech Sergeant, and there are no two identical Guard Terminators.
