When the huge Suffering Alliance strike formation suddenly appeared from subspace, the frightened Red Pirate Fleet immediately began to scatter, especially the mortal pirates. They had no determination to fight the enemy to the death, and the first thing they thought of was to preserve their own strength.
The Suffering Alliance was obviously well prepared. The moment they jumped out of the subspace, they launched a large number of landing craft and jump torpedoes, directly attacking the black ship Holy Flame and the chaos battleship Huron's Power that was close to it.
It's just that there is another unexpected participant in the Suffering Alliance's strike formation.
The flagship of the Ranger Chapter, the strike cruiser Star Wolf.
The Ranger Warriors' own historical records indicate that this Chapter was founded during the 23rd Founding. They were originally designed along with several Chapters specifically for expeditions, and therefore the most stable gene-seed was selected for establishment.
Since its inception, the Ranger Warriors have been diligently following the path of destroying humanity's enemies, constantly traveling between war zones and across the distant Imperial Star Territory.
Their livery adopts a two-color pattern of half blue and white, and their logo is a burning comet.
The Rangers waged crusade after crusade in the Emperor's name, earning themselves a series of glorious battle honors, some of which are still remembered in the pages of history, while others have long been forgotten.
The most famous one recently is that they participated in the Battle of Badab against the tyrant Huron, and were one of the first battle groups to enter the war.
After the first Fire Hawk Chapter entered the battle was frustrated, the Ranger Warriors responded to the call of the Fire Hawk Chapter, and then the Ranger Warriors decided to rely on their powerful strike cruiser fleet to protect Imperial neutral ships passing through the Maelstrom area.
During this period, they had a series of minor conflicts with the Lamenters of the same Huron faction, but both the Rangers and the Lamenters had to join the war out of honor, so they were unwilling to fight each other, just
He passively drove the other party away, so no deep rift was formed.
But when the Mantis Warriors entered the battle, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse. The Kasgo fleet belonging to the Ranger Warriors was ambushed, and the entire chapter fleet only managed to escape by attacking the cruiser Star Wolf.
With their fleet destroyed, the Rangers were forced to fight the Mantis warriors on the surface of Bellerophon's Autumn. This extremely unfavorable battle further weakened their strength - six companies were almost wiped out.
, the Mantis Warriors also decapitated their command structures through surgical strikes.
Due to the death of the Chapter Master and two Company Commanders, the Ranger warriors had to withdraw from this war. After the war, they only had 120 warriors and one capital ship left, which was extremely miserable.
After the Badab War, the Ranger warriors had to stop their expedition and start to recuperate. With the support of the Terran Council, they established their own monastery fortress on a planet called Velamuth in the Maelstrom sector.
Originally, if they were given a certain amount of time, with the well-maintained gene seed bank, the Ranger Warriors could still hope to regain their battle group.
But Huron did not forget his previous hatred.
Not long ago, Huron sent his third company commander, 'Big Brother' Nasir Wotek, to sneak attack on Vilamus, ransacked the Ranger Warriors' seed bank, stole most of the seeds, and destroyed the rest.
part.
This caused the Ranger Warriors to fall into the abyss. In desperation, they re-formed as a ship-based battle group and began to madly hunt down all the Red Pirates, especially the "Big Brother".
After receiving the Inquisitor's request for help, they rushed over immediately, but unexpectedly they encountered a strange fleet and a group of old acquaintances near the subspace node.
After simply stating his intention, Malakin invited the Ranger Warriors to join him in the battle against the Red Pirates.
Magnar Titus, the new Chapter Master of the Ranger Warriors, then boarded the Unbound Soul to talk with the two Chapter Masters of the Torment Alliance.
During the process, he learned that the Suffering Alliance's target was Huron's home planet, and immediately made a request, hoping to join this operation in order to regain the stolen gene seeds.
Magna Titus was still afraid that Soshyan and Malakin would not take them with them, and promised that he would not need any loot except the chapter's gene seeds.
Although this was an unexpected change, Soshyan agreed to let Magnar Titus join this joint operation after careful consideration.
It was also because the negotiations between the three war groups took a certain amount of time, which made their arrival on the battlefield slower. Fortunately, things have not gotten out of hand yet.
After leaving the subspace, the combined fleet split into two groups. Soshyan directly led the Honor Guard to use teleportation to reach the interior of the black ship, while the Weeper directly attacked the Tyrant's Claw, and the Ranger Warriors were responsible for driving away the surrounding pirates.
The battle on the black ship went smoothly. The red pirates, who had been severely weakened by the nuns, were defeated by the fierce attack of the Astral Knights. On Malakin's side, the battle was about to come to an end.
The Chapter Master of the Lamenters stared closely at his data panel, squinting and staring at the soldiers who were searching among the ruins of the bridge.
His originally gorgeous cloak was now a little tattered and was swaying slightly with the heat wave.
After confirming that there were no living traitors on the bridge, Malakin pulled his pistol from the holster, carefully inspected the blown-out stairway entrance, and then led the team deep below the deck.
The interior of this ship has been severely corrupted. Pipes squirming like viscera can be seen everywhere, as well as blood coming out of nowhere. The marks of the Chaos Gods are engraved on everything they look at.
Malakin carefully climbed down the stairs, trying not to touch the filth.
As he moved, the spotlights installed on the power armor swept through the shadows, smoke and dust. The other Weeper warriors skillfully took turns covering each other, crossing one corner after another. The warriors in front were holding jump shields to guard against any sudden changes.
attack.
Their actions have a clear purpose and they search for the enemy with a desire to fight - this is the original intention of their creation and the state that has been repeatedly emphasized in training.
All the way down to the bottom, here, any design and craftsmanship that once belonged to the empire have disappeared without a trace.
All the corners of this place are round and cornerless, and there is no decoration on the walls.
As the light swept across the thick metal grating, the Wailer realized that this was a dungeon, and he could hear the echoes of the soldiers aiming their guns.
Suddenly, there was movement in the darkness.
Subsequently, hundreds of pitiful and numb slaves emerged, all of whom had been cruelly tortured by the red pirates. Those traitors would pass the time on the prisoners when they were not in a fighting state.
Judging from the clothing, Malakin guessed that most of the people in front of him were hive nobles, both young and old, and they had not been captured for a long time.
"This is a dungeon for prisoners, don't fire yet."
Malakin was not a cruel man, he had only pity for the fate of these poor people.
