The Emperor’s Angel of Death - #2150 - Vol 2 Chapter 2105: Savage Crucible

Even if he wasn’t a technical sergeant, Azrael could tell from its appearance that this hulk might be an aggregate of dozens, or even hundreds of ships, all of which were strangely fused together by the energy of the warp. Only the Emperor knows how many centuries the mutated hulk has been adrift in the torrents of the Warp, but what is certain is that this vicious being of twisted metal, mutant demonic growths, and rocks of all kinds is still alive even when immobile. It’s a powerful weapon, too, and when it’s in motion, it’s a wreck, dwarfing even the Indomitable Truth.

“Strange, there is such a thing, why did Huron take it out at this time?”

Samuel, who was standing in the shadow behind Azrael, also expressed his doubts, and Azmodei answered him.

“It means that the time for the heretics to get this thing is not long!”

Sappho nodded.

“It should be so. Captain Soshyan reminded us earlier that the Red Pirates might have a powerful hulk. I thought it was a dead thing dragged by a barge, but it turned out to be a ‘living’ hulk Boat.”

“It was big, strong, but misshapen.”

Suddenly, Azrael slowly expressed his opinion.

“The power to make it is very powerful, but it is very similar to a large and perfect Mechanic Education designer. It endows this weapon with a tough body and hopes that it has as many types of weapons as possible to deal with most troubles. However, this As a result, it is not armed with decisive weapons. It is capable of fighting independently, but in a decisive battle, its firepower may not be stronger than that of several battleships. Its firepower distribution is too even. As long as it is not crowded in the enemy group, Most of the firepower is useless, that’s its flaw.”

As he spoke, Azrael stretched out his hand and drew an n-shaped line on the imaging device.

“The enemy formed a v-shaped assault formation with the hulk at the head, then we will form an n-shaped array around the moon of destruction, so that we can maximize the evasion of the firepower of the hulk, and when the enemy goes deep, the formation will change In the shape of an M, the hulk will face the Moon of Doom, and Chapter Master Soshyan has prepared a big gift for the enemy in the Moon of Doom.”

Sappho’s eyes lit up.

“What is it?”

Azrael smiled slightly.

“Look, you’ll know when the time comes.”

Soon, he suppressed his smile, turned around and walked to the commanding throne.

“Issuing a combat order, all units and ships are in place according to the predetermined plan.”

According to the results returned by a series of scanners, the huge thinker array calculated the general strength of the enemy, 1 extremely large space hulk, 2 battleships, 1 battle barge, 15 large/heavy cruisers, 50- 60 medium-sized warships, 100-120 small warships, because the Red Pirate fleet is very messy, and even many civilian ships and merchant ships have been transformed, so in terms of strength, it is no better than having 1 Queen of Glory, 2 battleships, and 1 Battlecruisers, 7 battle barges, 23 strike cruisers, 21 heavy/large cruisers, 14 light cruisers, and 92 destroyers/frigates make the Imperial fleet stronger, if not slightly weaker.

The only variable is the gigantic space hulk.

Azrael’s orders were transmitted to every battleship through radio waves. Whether it is a veteran who has experienced many battles or a new recruit who has just joined the battle group, every combat monk is ready to go, and every war machine is fully activated. Finished, just wait for an order.

The captains have all received instructions. The main force of the fleet is dispersed into an n-shaped array in the form of several independent battle groups. The Moon of Destruction will become the bulge of the array, facing the impact of the enemy directly. The number is the few guards around it.

Soon, the enemy fleet appeared within visual distance.

At the command of the Grand Master, the fleet lights up the signal, the engine roars in the prayer that resounds through the power room, the void shield flickers to surround the ship, and the battle cry is broadcast in the channel.

For the Empire, for Caliban, for the Lion!

The first wave of firefights between the two sides came from the swarming fleet.

On the side of the empire, the Dark Angels dispatched more than 100 Nephalem fighters and 150 Black Claw fighters, as well as 64 squadrons of the Imperial Navy, which mixed regular fighters such as Thunder, Lightning and Fury, with a total of more than 1,200 fighters, and 36 The total number of Starhawk bomber squadrons exceeds 500 bombers, and the Chaos side also has a large number of Chaos Dragons and Hellblades and Hellclaws, many of which have just been built.

The fighter planes of both sides fought fiercely in the cold and merciless void, and the fighter planes were constantly smashed into pieces, or rolled in the void due to damage, but there is no doubt that the empire has a quantitative and certain quality advantage, and it is bound Demonic Chaos Fighters are equally fearless.

And just as they were circling and chasing, performing a dazzling dance of death, the huge battleship was also slowly moving nearby.

The space hulk, the Savage Crucible, sets off its escorting ships extremely small, and the Red Pirates set up a very appropriate and standard V-shaped assault formation. The Savage Crucible is both the spearhead of the assault and the shield of other warships, because no one wants to The first wave of strikes by the imperial fleet, now that there is such a big meat shield there, it is natural to hide as far away as possible, which is why they must use a V-shaped formation.

As the Savage Crucible gradually came within range of the artillery fire of the Imperial Vanguard Fleet, lance turrets, heavy artillery, and certain mysterious weapons awoke, lighting the dark void with blinding flares.

The sight of the Queen of Glory firing horrifies even many Chaos Space Marines who have lived through the Heresy, and reminds them of some of the most memorable battles of old, the sheer violence of which would make space shudder.

No warship can stand up to its edge—

But today is bound to be an exception.

The savage cauldron was bathed in a blasphemous light, and its shields were layered on top of each other, allowing it to slow down without taking too much damage. After that, it woke up, like an enraged beast, every inch of the deformed hull was emitting a torrential rain. missiles, rays, beams and psionic shells.

In less than five minutes, the Savage Crucible destroyed a group of frigates belonging to the Disciples of Caliban and the Navy’s Lunar-class cruiser Infinity. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

At this time, it was less than 500 kilometers away from the Moon of Destruction. This distance was already very close for space warfare. At the same time, the Dark Angel’s fleet began to retreat, trying to allow the space hulk to only use one side of its firepower.

Seeing that the imperial fleet retreated slightly, the Chaos fleet began to stir up, and they seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Countless grotesque warships joined the onslaught of the savage crucible, as if a group of grits surrounded the war boss, and the transformation from cowardice to bravery was only an instant.

And the huge Moon of Destruction has almost no weapons at this time, and the few forts are useless at all. They are just an asteroid with no resistance. This makes the attacking red pirate commander even more excited, because if they can destroy There is no doubt that this thing has completed the task ahead of time.

Of course, it is not easy to destroy this thing, it is still a huge star, so the best way is to capture it and use it against the empire!
