Wounded soldiers crowded every free corner of the cabin. Kelkus carefully passed through the group of violent wounded and arrived at the gun emplacement and flight workstation on the front deck.
The continuous blows have left the Storm Bird's void shield with scars, and its body is also bumping up and down.
Although the wizard used witchcraft to teleport them from the battlefield, he did not teleport them directly back to the Destruction Ghost, but took them to the place where they originally landed.
There, they boarded an ancient Stormbird.
Compared to the Thunderhawk, the Stormbird is large enough to install a void defense barrier, but its size is not large enough to absorb all the kinetic energy of the projectile.
The energy of some projectiles was often transmitted to the spacecraft, causing Kelkus to almost fall down several times.
Finally, he trudged to the turret control room. He could see a soldier operating the heavy bolters on the gimbal, which were installed on both wings of the spacecraft.
At this moment, the captain of the Red Pirate Captain was already in an extremely low mood, but the picture that came into view on the screen made it even darker.
Stormbird accelerated through the smoke, and the battlefield was covered with the wreckage of the spacecraft and burning gas.
This Stormbird was not Huron's usual vehicle, and there were no markings on it to indicate that it was transporting the leader of the warband. However, it was still caught in the maelstrom, and together with other aircraft, it swarmed towards the retreating
Red pirate fleet.
A valuable strategy, but no guarantee of safety.
The Starfort's small anti-aircraft firepower had been activated and deliberately targeted at the gunships, with each successful kill costing the warband another twenty warriors.
The situation of those large warships was not optimistic either. Due to the interruption of communication, they could only fight on their own. Some even planned to break out alone, but they were completely exposed to the enemy's continuous artillery fire.
On the contrary, it is the Suffering Alliance's strike fleet. Although they have the same communication difficulties, Dietrian has installed unique point-to-point communication devices on each ship, which can issue the simplest commands.
Although the number of Suffering Alliance warships is now far less than that of the Red Pirates, they rely on mutual cooperation and concentrated fire to suppress the scattered Red Pirates fleet.
Through the jumping graphics feed, Kelkus found that only a few ships were still trying to fight back, but they became targets immediately. The shields that had not yet collapsed were all flashing with dim fire, and they were only one step away from failure.
remote.
Other warships began to show the centrifugal force unique to the Chaos warband, and began to retreat when the battle situation was not good. They even used their own hull armor to withstand ruthless blows, intending to use their precious energy on subspace jumps.
The situation suddenly changed, and now the Red Pirates are struggling to their death.
When Kelkus carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, the bright flash of the explosion turned the screen completely white.
For a time, everyone focused on the source of the light.
"Damn."
After the picture became clear, Kelkus took a breath of air.
The Star Fortress's powerful main weapon was activated, and the battlecruiser Eagle Hook, which was fighting the Mother of Tears, suddenly suffered a heavy blow. The bow was instantly shattered, and then the hull was riddled with swaying spears of light.
, a violent explosion occurred - its void shield only lasted less than two seconds.
It once served in the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet and survived many worse situations. It also witnessed the brutal sibling rivalry on the planet Badab. This ship fought for the Star Claw for more than two hundred years.
The giant ship perished.
The reactor's artificial star escaped the constraints of magnetism and finally enjoyed a moment of freedom.
This giant ball of plasma that gradually dissipated swallowed up countless small spacecraft, and their own reactors also exploded, creating a chain reaction.
The sky was filled with layers of light balls, and the dazzling glow obscured the remaining ships.
As the light went out, several battleships on both sides were burning and drifting with the current.
As the former master of the Star Fortress, Kelkus certainly knew the power of the Eye of Hell. This Star Fortress had placed firepower as the first priority during many enhancements, because its function was to intimidate Xiao Xiao.
According to estimates after the latest modification, when the Hell Eye's firepower is fully activated, any area in the four firepower fields has the superimposed firepower intensity of two battleships.
Moreover, in the upper center of the Star Castle, there is a giant nova cannon called the "Evil Eye of Hell". This nova cannon is said to have been dismantled by Huron from a huge ancient hulk. It is extremely powerful and has almost no power.
The battleship can withstand a single blow from it when fully loaded.
It was this terrifying cannon that had just defeated the void shield of the battlecruiser Hawkhook.
With the destruction of the Eagle Hook, among the many secondary casualties, the large cruiser Midnight Solitude suffered the most serious damage.
Half of its port side was completely shredded, and the honeycomb deck structure was directly exposed to the vacuum. Oxygen flames flickered in and out of the ventilated cabin, and the bulkheads were burned red.
It looked like a half-burnt papier mache, its exposed interior covered in flickering ash.
What's even more fatal is that the command center of the Midnight Solitude is completely open in the void, its helmsman has disappeared, and the engine has lost control.
Finally, the battleship's power also disappeared, and it left the battlefield, drifting into the distance with its usual nobility and elegance.
But the dying circle caused it to break into the moving track of a light cruiser.
The small battleship tried to stop, but its sloping flank was hit instead, and the two ships became entangled and destroyed together.
And these tragedies are just an insignificant episode in this drama of destruction.
The remaining fighter jets of the Mother of Tears were wandering over the retreating Red Pirate Fleet, dropping bunches of bombs. The continuous explosions were like clusters of beautiful flowers blooming on the steel field.
The Red Pirates' fighter jets refused to take off again after losing their means of communication - without the guidance of the flight control center, they would fly around in such a chaotic battlefield and seek death.
More and more Chaos warships disappeared silently into the void, and none of the soldiers and crew members on them were spared.
"The power of destruction!"
Kelkus cursed.
“We are suffering our biggest loss since the humiliation of Badab!”
He punched the bulkhead helplessly, leaving a bright silver dent in the metal.
"Sir, can you pilot the Stormbird?"
In the midst of Kelkus' incompetent rage, the gunner suddenly asked.
"cannot."
Kelkus admitted truthfully.
"Then you should let me work hard, sir. Don't let me get distracted. We are almost there. We are almost at the Destruction Ghost. We can't make any mistakes at this time."
"Nothing is of use anymore."
Kelkus pointed to the miniature screen, which displayed the fighter's head view.
