On the battlefield, not only Lothar, but almost everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of the giant ship.
Bahram raised his head and looked at the image above, the super adrenaline in his body still burning.
He saw the battleship rising to a higher altitude, overlooking the battlefield from a high position in order to obtain a more accurate fire angle.
Its size was truly unbelievable - even though he had seen the Spirit of Vengeance and often walked on the Scar of Victory Fortress, such a creation still impressed him with its gorgeous majesty.
Later, Bahram noticed that Sabrin was staggering towards him, with many traces of explosives on his armor.
Sabourin then took off his helmet, revealing a blood-stained pale face and a head of black hair.
"It looks like it's on our side."
"Yes, a Glory Queen..."
Sabourin nodded to the real-life window, which was still occupied by the underside of the majestic giant ship, which was chasing the crumbling Black Legion forward.
"That sign...."
Bahram did not understand what Sabourin meant at the moment.
Then, the giant armor plate slid past, and he caught a glimpse of a emblem - a single symbol, decorated in a golden ring, embedded in the very center of the belly armor of the giant ship.
Perhaps it can be traced back to some kind of mutated behemoth. In any case, this picture is very shocking - a hybrid creature of lion, eagle and human, with a pair of huge wings on its back, standing on clawed limbs, surrounded by
Flames surrounded by twisted branches.
"this thing....."
Bahram stared at this spectacular piece of armor with logos. He felt inexplicably familiar with it. Sablin looked at it thoughtfully for a while, then patted him on the shoulder and pointed to a white figure in the distance.
Warriors of the Temple.
"Do you still remember, the terminator of their battle group?"
Finally, Bahram remembered that the Terminators of the White Templar had almost identical emblems.
"This matter...it seems not that simple."
Although he was very curious in his heart, Bahram did not continue to think about it. He just felt that there were many secrets surrounding him and the battle group.
Maybe one day, the chapter leader will tell him——
perhaps.......
On the other side, Eingra Speer was also dumbfounded.
"Damn it, Slaanesh's cat has big tits! What the hell is this!"
Anyone would be startled when they see a giant ship suddenly appearing, let alone a warship no smaller than the Queen of Glory, but Iongra Speer is not sure yet that it is the Queen of Glory because the shape is indeed not very good.
In keeping with the style of the former empire.
But now is no longer the time to worry about this.
"Turn!"
As Eingraspeer watched the ship's guns pointed at them, he shouted loudly.
"Dodge! Dodge!"
His call had no time to have any effect - even if the navigation crew had time to carry out the order, the ships were too close and too damaged to respond.
Then, the opponent's giant beam weapon fired, and starlight shot through the void.
The Spirit of Vengeance was hit hard, and its shield was flooded by the blasted plasma. It could only turn around crazily to avoid the attack.
During the process, other Black Legion ships were also hit. They were helpless in the face of these giant guns. Their shields were instantly extinguished by the shock wave, and then more light spears penetrated them, causing the engines to overload and even explode.
The Empire, under the command of Lothar, immediately seized the sudden reversal of fortune and fought back on the spot.
In the entire battle area, the jump gangs were hastily recalled, and the offense gave way to retreating to the rear to consolidate the defense line. Everything was swinging on a fulcrum until the new battlefield situation stabilized.
But Aingra Speer knew that, he took two powerless steps back, and then sat down on the ground.
it's all over.
He lost.
Very thorough.
If possible, he would rather the opponent's light spear blasted through the command deck directly, letting him die quickly and not having to endure the subsequent humiliation.
But what happened next changed everything for the better.
After the giant ship fought for a round, it suddenly started its engine and then disappeared again in full view of the public!
It's not a subspace jump, but it directly distorts the surrounding space and then disappears!
"God will not kill me!"
Ian Grasper stood up and found an opportunity in the chaos.
"Withdraw! All personnel evacuate! Cruisers move to the rear! All battleships withdraw!"
On the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, the teleportation bubble opened again, and the Black Legion flagship pulled the Terminators back before it was torn apart by the incoming firepower.
Compared to the Black Legion, although the Imperial fleet did not panic under Lothar's command, the giant ship also caused a lot of trouble for the fleet. Inquiries and information from various battle groups came in one after another and spread to each other, leaving everyone confused.
Later, Lothar received news from the planet Paidu that the red pirates raided the orbit and picked up Abaddon.
He was caught in a dilemma, whether to turn around and pursue the Red Pirates and annihilate Abaddon at all costs, or to pursue the remnants of the enemy in front of him.
Lothar thought for less than half a minute and made a decision.
Abaddon has obviously gone far away, and if he can keep the Spirit of Vengeance behind, it will be equivalent to cutting off the lifeline of the Black Legion, and the result will not be much different.
Therefore, he decisively issued the order——
The whole army pursues!
Prioritize paralyzing the engine of the Vengeful Spirit. It would be best if you could capture this legendary battleship. Even if you cannot capture it, you must sink it!
The empire's original defensive formation quickly spread out and turned into a loose pursuit formation. The faster cruisers used full power to bite the tail of the Black Legion fleet, while the frigates continued to harass and slow down the entire fleet on both sides.
speed.
Under normal circumstances, if nothing unexpected happens, most of the Black Legion's capital ships will stay here, because the previous battles between the two sides were too close, so close that they could not escape intact.
But the galaxy is always full of surprises——
"Sir, our communications..."
Taking over the communications receiver from the communications officer, Lothar heard only a lot of white noise.
At the same time, the technical director of the Thinker Array also hurriedly came over.
"Sir! We have been attacked by a large amount of useless code! The operating efficiency of the entire system has been reduced by 38%!"
Not long after the Imperial fleet pursued them, an inexplicable shock swept through the void, causing most of the Imperial warships to suffer from communication interruptions and system downtime.
At the same time, a new fleet arrived from the distance.
It is not large in scale, with only eight battleships. The whole body is gray iron color, and there is an obvious logo on both sides of the ship -
A metal skull.
"Iron Warriors!"
Lothar was suddenly shocked. This turned out to be a fleet of the Iron Warriors.
They approached the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and then provided fire cover to the Black Legion's fleet, driving back the pursuing cruisers.
Due to poor communication, each warship could only protect itself, so the Black Legion fleet finally found an opportunity to speed away from the battle.
The fleet of Iron Warriors did not hesitate to fight, and immediately followed the fleet of the Black Legion to turn and move towards the jump node of the galaxy.
At this point, the last naval battle in the Battle of Pandora ended.
The Empire lost three cruisers, fifteen destroyers and frigates, most of them due to gang jumping. The Black Legion's capital ship, the Endless Wrath, was forced to stay on the battlefield due to engine failure, and the Brotherhood of Steel's Immortal Steel
During the pursuit, they were sunk, two other light cruisers were sunk, and more than twenty predator ships were sunk or their engines stalled.
