Chapter 1908 The Second Naval Battle of Angstrom (4)
The leader of Hoffe Squadron, Hoffe No. 2, was leading three Cobra-class destroyers to perform surveillance missions conveyed by the flagship. Captain Balladoo was standing on the bridge watching the red pirate fleet disappear into the fog.
Yes, not long ago, an incredible black mist suddenly filled the surroundings of the planet Angstrom 6. Considering that this is space, those rolling clouds and mist that looked like life could indeed be called "incredible".
Baladu has reported this situation to his superiors, but there has been no response yet, so they can only continue to monitor the mist.
But he always felt that this was the work of heretics. Strange things started happening after they entered the broken asteroid belt around Angstrom. Speaking of which, when did those strange asteroid belts appear around Angstrom?
The captain stared at the looming outline of asteroid fragments in the black fog, as well as the wreckage that kept floating out of the fog, doubts constantly rising in his mind.
It looked like what happened to the red pirate ships just now. The metal wreckage kept moving as if it was pushed to the shore by the waves. It looked like it had been crazily eaten by vultures. The broken hull continued to roll and spilled more debris.
Scars left by sharp claws and flames can be vaguely seen on the wreckage.
But they didn't hear or see any movement, and the instruments didn't show that there had just been a battle. How could these ships be destroyed?
Baladur, who had some gray hair, shook his head and moved his position on crutches. One of his legs had been replaced by a steel prosthesis. The surrounding muscles were always itchy, and the breastplate that he had worn for decades was covered with scratches.
There are traces of battle, and the breathing mask makes wheezing sounds from time to time - this was a gift left to him by a green-skinned pirate during a fight against the Rebellion Gang many years ago.
However, this is a war in the void, not a small fight somewhere, and scars are just a small price for victory.
"captain."
Suddenly, his first mate called to him, but the captain had already heard the deep sound of the veteran's boots hitting the deck.
He turned around and nodded briefly, the cold blue lens hanging on his left eye flickering in and out.
"It reeks of the stench of the Warp."
The first mate said while studying the wreckage in the distance.
"My first impression is that these actions have obvious supernatural power, and we need to ask our superiors for instructions."
"I have done it a long time ago, but now the fleet is engaged in battle, I'm afraid I have to wait."
In the distance, two other destroyers covered the flanks of the Hoffe 2.
"But I have some doubts about what attacked them. Look at that position. The incision is across the bow of the ship. It seems that some huge weapon caused this wound. Laser cannot do this."
Of course, there is another explanation. The captain did not mention that possibility to avoid controversy. The naval education he received mainly focused on scientific tangible things, but any old captain knows that there are still some ancient enemies in the subspace -
-demon.
Suddenly, the captain blinked, as if he saw something moving in the black fog. It was big and fast, like a shadow hiding in the shadows.
However, just as he was about to focus on it, it disappeared.
Maybe it's really nothing, it's just the uneasiness in my heart that's causing the problem.
"Order the formation to retreat first and contact the Shield Squadron. I think something is wrong."
Just when Baladu was about to give the order to retreat, he suddenly felt a warmth in his right hand. He immediately released his grip on the railing and found that the temperature suddenly became very high.
The same thing happened to the other crew members. They retreated in surprise. The air became thick and hot, and every breath was mixed with heat.
At this time, the originally slow fog suddenly surged in like a tidal wave, instantly spreading from the low orbit of Angstrom 6 to the high orbit, surrounding the Hoffy team.
The next second, a primitive roar passed through the communicator, answering all the doubts that had not been voiced in time.
In the fog, a huge whip hit a destroyer, the vicious barb easily tore open the metal shell, and a turret disappeared in a flash of lightning.
Then the whip was pulled out, part of the hull fell downwards with a crackling sound, and the remaining parts of the monster were exposed.
It was extremely huge, its well-developed muscles were covered with brass marks, and the membrane of its wings was as black as armor. It held a whip in one hand and an ax with jagged and shining runes in the other hand - a huge bloodthirsty demon left the subspace and entered
into the physical universe.
Balladur immediately understood that it was the weapon that split open the red pirate ship he just saw.
Some kind of corrosive heat mist rippled around it, and every time he tried to focus on the snarling demon, a surge of rage surged into his temples.
"All weapons, attack this damn thing with all your might!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Balladur immediately ordered an attack. Although the enemy was not common, it at least provided a target that could be targeted.
The agile destroyer maneuvered, its engines burning crazily, followed by the roar of the light spear. The demon roared angrily.
Even the bloodthirsty demon did not dare to face the battleship's main gun. Instead, it hid very smartly.
Just when the bloodthirsty maniac was hiding, black clouds rolled in, revealing all the truth.
"Oh God Emperor!"
What he saw in front of him frightened the captain. Those asteroid fragments had formed a blasphemous eight-pointed star pattern. Each fragment seemed to be engraved with huge runes of the God of Darkness. They exuded an evil red light and hung in the void.
Moving slowly, tearing apart the curtain of reality, summoning more demons.
It was some winged demons swarming in from the red asteroid fragments. Although they were the weakest chaos demons, they had enough numbers to beat the destroyer's armor angrily, trying to tear it apart with absolute speed and ferocity.
Crush these steel behemoths.
They seem to be targeting Imperial ships, but in fact all this stems from a purposeless desire for destruction.
"All combatants are in place in each cabin, all weapons are activated, and the other two ships are notified that we need to alternate cover to leave this fog."
Baladur gave the order calmly, and the anti-rebound gang inside the ship gathered together, while the turrets and point defense fog outside the ship fired dense bullets, and the demons were dispersed with exaggerated wails and discordant trills.
But the roar from the mist attracted his attention. The big guy came back. It turned out that it attacked Hoffy No. 4, and metal fragments rolled from its axe.
"Full right rudder! Full right rudder!"
The destroyer turned sharply to the right with all its speed and grace, and then the gunnery commander tilted the firepower towards the big demon through concentrated instructions, and a non-stop rain of fire hit the monster.
The bloodthirsty demon hid behind a fragment. When the fragment was shattered, it appeared on the other side of the destroyer, with violent impulses flashing in its eyes.
Soon, the voice of the gunnery commander came.
"We can't target it, Captain! Any instruments aimed at it are damaged, and everyone is crazy! Even the servitors!"
