After breaking through the Red Pirates' queue, the agile White Scar battleship quickly turned around with the help of its highly modified engine, and then focused its firepower on the Blood Beast. The giant ship's rear void shield was finally overloaded after holding on for five minutes, and then the engine was
The beam and macro cannon were overwhelmed and completely lost power.
Corsaro did not waste time on the lost power of the Red Pirate flagship, and quickly carried out cutting attacks on other warships. Although the number of the empire's small warships was not as good as that of the Red Pirates, their quality was higher than that of the Red Pirates, and the morale and quality of the captain and crew were
Also much higher than the Red Pirate.
After the flagship was paralyzed, the Red Corsair's chain of command was on the verge of collapse, and was attacked by White Scar again. Eventually, many small battleships began to flee the battlefield, which triggered more chain reactions, and cruisers began to abandon their teammates.
In the end, this naval battle called the Battle of the Dark Light Star Belt ended with Corsaro's complete victory. The Red Pirates not only lost a Carnage-class cruiser, but also a dozen plunderers. The commander of the Abomination-class large cruiser
In desperation, he also activated the self-destruction system of the plasma reactor. Fortunately, Corsaro Khan personally led a team to join forces and broke through the power cabin in time, deactivating the self-destruction system and killing the commander of the Red Pirate Fleet.
Although this fleet was only a squadron of the Red Pirates attacking the third theater and not the main fleet, the war lord who commanded this battle was still greatly shocked and immediately stopped the attack on Galen V and retreated again
In the void.
As for Soshyan, he actually didn't know about the victory of the Dark Light Star Belt. As soon as he received the news that the Red Pirates had attacked the planet Galen V, half of the fleet stationed in Angstrom left.
It seems that he is going to the third theater to support.
Not long after the fleet disappeared, an alarm came from the edge of the galaxy, and a huge fleet jumped out of subspace.
Being able to grasp the time so accurately, it is obvious that there are insiders of the Red Pirates within Angerstom, but this is also within Soshyan's expectation. Huron must have spread his intelligence so much that he attaches great importance to Angerstom.
.
The leader of this offensive was still the war lord Mogaro Kalai. Although he failed last time, Huron not only did not blame him, but encouraged the other party. After all, in that situation, he could win such a position.
It is extremely rare to be able to bring out the main force of the fleet.
The Red Pirates are a complex armed group. To maintain such a group, fear and violence alone are not enough. Huron also believes that he does not have the so-called "chosen destiny" like Abaddon, so he is grateful and old friends
Points are still an important tool for him, just as he is still the leader of the Star Claw Chapter. More importantly, at least he can't find a better fleet commander than Mogaro Kalai.
This time Mogaro Kale's fleet was strengthened again, with an Emperor-class battleship Death Swamp captured five hundred years ago, a battlecruiser, a large cruiser and more than two dozen medium-sized ships
Add to the fleet.
Also arriving with the fleet were 20,000 Chaos Space Marines from the Red Corsairs and various warbands.
Mogaro Kale learned from the previous lessons and did not launch a direct attack on Angstrom itself. Instead, he captured two planets and four asteroids in the outer reaches of the system, and established military strongholds and temporary docks.
His idea was that since Angstrom's planetary defense had so many fighters, he would rely on those planetary strongholds to summon a large number of demons and advance step by step until the entire forge world was flooded.
No matter how many Mechanicum fighters there are, they can't be more numerous than demons, right?
For this reason, there are also a large number of transport ships in the fleet, which carry many slaves captured from various planets, and they will be used as blood sacrifice materials.
However, there were two things that surprised Mogaro Kale——
The fleet that left unexpectedly came back right away.
The star fort has been completed.
In fact, it doesn't matter if half of the fleet returns. After all, the Red Pirate Fleet still has the advantage. But after the blessing barrier appeared, Mogaro Kale was somewhat unwilling to give up.
At this time, the Red Pirates had occupied 4 planets in the Angstrom system, and were not very far away from Liuli 3. However, Soshyan did not continue the previous retreat strategy, but instead let the fleet take the initiative to attack, with the intention of retaking it.
Losing the posture of the planet.
Seeing this situation, Mogaro Kale decided to fight first.
The fleets of both sides immediately broke out in the second naval battle of Angstrom, but this time the Red Pirates were much more conservative, and even the fleet took the initiative to withdraw from the planet Angstrom IV which they had just occupied.
But there is one more variable in the battle.
demon.
When the Blessed Bulwark and the Imperial fleet approached Angstrom 4, a sacrifice ceremony of more than half a million people had been completed. A subspace rift opened on the surface of the planet, and in an instant the entire planet was filled with the claws of Khorne.
demon.
In this case, the Imperial fleet began to clear the surface of the planet of demons, which made Mogaro Kalai realize that this strategy was effective.
If the subspace rift is left unchecked, the entire galaxy will eventually become a devil's paradise, or even be dragged into subspace.
In this case, the offensive and defensive sides have switched. The Empire must come to take back those occupied worlds, while the Red Pirates must defend them and continue to expand the influence of subspace. This may be a longer-term battle.
, but there is still hope of victory.
So he retracted his intention to retreat and began to order the fleet to move forward. He wanted to prevent the Imperial fleet from getting too close to the planet, so that they could not directly destroy the planet with cyclone torpedoes or other extermination methods.
The fleets of both sides began a small-scale battle, and the Imperial fleet began to deliver transport ships to the planet's surface, so Mogaro Kalai also ordered the deployment of ground troops.
At the same time, he also sent a very cautious message to Huron, explaining his strategy and telling the boss that he had occupied one-third of the Angstrom system, while requesting more troops to prepare for a long-term war later.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And this is exactly what Soshyan wants. It can be foreseen that the Red Pirates will have to put more troops in Angstrom for a long time.
As for those demons, although they are a bit unexpected, Soshyan doesn't seem to be a big deal, because Angstrom will provide a steady stream of skitarii, which are more suitable and powerful against demons than mortal legions.
.
The important thing is that he must create an appearance of a very anxious war, give the Red Pirates some hope, and let them, or Huron, continue to invest, so that they think that as long as they invest, they may win.
The speed of this is not easy to grasp, but it has made a good start. In the battle within 24 hours of landing, Angstrom's Skitarii troops lost about 800,000 troops and some heavy equipment, but the same
The Red Corsairs also lost hundreds of Space Marines, and they also had to beware of the demons they had summoned, a number that could easily exceed a thousand.
But just exerting force on Angstrom is far from achieving this effect.
Earlier, the second batch of 200 million new recruits had already walked out of the training ground, and Soshyan put most of them into the first and second theaters currently fighting in Badab.
Therefore, after learning that the new support forces around Badab, including the troops in the fourth theater, had been assembled, Soshyan issued an order for a general attack and sent the Black Templar as his envoy, appointing Helb
Reichert served as the commander-in-chief of the Badab Theater and established a front-line enemy suppression headquarters to command and dispatch combat forces in various theaters.
The brutal battle of Badab opened a bloody curtain——
