"Even if we go up now, we may not be able to escape."
On the screen, the Ghost of Destruction is slowly approaching, with raging fire covering its wings and ridge. As Huron's flagship, the "care" it receives is evident.
However, despite being brutally attacked by artillery and lasers, it is still capable of fighting.
The propellers on the flanks of the Ghost of Destruction began to burn fiercely. It slowly rose and then turned to the right, its sharp-sharp bow aimed at the Unbound Soul.
Its huge impact angle filled the entire screen, and the light spear turrets also activated one after another.
Due to previous attacks, more than a dozen turrets of the Ghost of Destruction were rendered unusable, but there were countless turrets that were still active.
Soon, the flames of the light spear and the short-range particle beam spurted out from the muzzle, and the artillery fire of the Unbound Soul also roared past. It was almost only a hundred meters away from the Storm Bird, and the alarm also sounded.
"I'm afraid our flagship was destroyed before we even had a chance to board,"
Kelkus's eyes have been scanning this void battle. It seems that they are already isolated and helpless. All the red pirate warships have been defeated and are rushing towards a safe jump point.
Then, the Unbound Soul suddenly turned its bow, and a fire spear stabbed straight out of its side.
"strangeness?"
Kelkus frowned, wondering why the other party suddenly gave up the attack.
At this time, excited shouts suddenly came from the cockpit.
"Communications restored!"
Kelkus's heart trembled, and he finally knew why the opponent started to retreat.
Communication interference is gone!
"Get me the Ghost of Destruction immediately! And send communications to all battleships. The Lord is still alive and no one is allowed to retreat!"
The Unbound Soul is moving away, and other imperial warships are following it one after another. At the same time, the Eye of Hell also stopped attacking.
Several small frigates have entered the Star Castle's tow berth.
"They are leaving..."
Kelkus had been staring at the scene at the stern of the ship with all his concentration, so that when they suddenly arrived at the Ghost of Destruction, he was really surprised.
The huge hull of the battleship passed by the observation window on the starboard side, and the Stormbird suddenly landed, its roaring engines turning around, and its landing claws hitting the deck heavily.
Afterwards, all the hatches and ramps of the spacecraft were opened, masked cultists and Chaos Space Marines rushed to the deck, and the pharmacist hurriedly put the dying Huron on an emergency stretcher.
Kelkus also followed this group of gloomy-looking warriors and walked off the Storm Bird.
Many gunboats later also struggled to enter the boarding deck.
Suddenly, the Ghost of Destruction received a strong impact, and piercing sirens sounded everywhere.
Screaming orders came from various communication transmitters, almost distorted to an incomprehensible degree.
It turned out that a Thunderhawk rushed over, its tail was burning. It crashed hard on the deck, the torn landing claws and sparks flew everywhere, and a landing pillar also broke, causing its belly to hit the ground directly.
Sliding into the open interception net.
The damage control team hurriedly shouted and ran over, spraying foam fire extinguishing agent from a long water pipe towards the fuselage.
The landing gunboat screamed like a miserable ghost tortured in hell.
A large amount of exhaust gas was emitted on the deck, making the air almost unbreathable. Several huge fans set off a storm. However, their efforts to purify the smoke had little effect, and instead stirred it into a dazzling haze.
Kelkus accompanied Huron's stretcher into the vast mist. The tyrant's eyes were closed tightly, and blood was still dripping from his nose and the corners of his closed mouth. The aura that originally enveloped him was gradually dimming, and the group could only
He hurried to the medical area.
Kelkus didn't know whether he should follow.
At this time, a hand roughly grabbed his hand and asked him to lower his head.
"Communication... has been restored...?"
It was Huron, who had regained consciousness, but was breathless.
"Yes, my lord."
"Order...fire with all your strength...don't let...them...escape!"
The last two words used up all the strength of the tyrant.
Kelkus nodded bitterly.
"As commanded."
Even so, he knew they probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Although communications have been restored, the communication facilities of almost all battleships have been damaged to varying degrees, and almost all the astropaths have died. In this case, orders can only be issued through a simple communication grid, but this requires coordinating an entire fleet.
Totally impossible.
By the time he reorganized the fleet, the enemy had long disappeared.
But out of a sense of duty, Kelkus returned to the command position on the bridge.
Just when he was dispatching troops urgently, the subspace engine of the Hell Eye had already started, and then other warships of the empire, including the towed frigate, also started their subspace engines.
Under the surprised gazes of the red pirates, the void was torn apart, and their fortress simply disappeared into orbit.
But that's not the worst.
As Kelkus prepared to take stock of the losses, an even more terrible news came.
The Astral Knights left a gift before leaving——
They actually dropped an ancient virus bomb on New Badab! It hit Huron's Tyrant Fortress, instantly killing all living things in the surrounding area. Now the Bioeater virus is sweeping the entire planet along with the strong winds.
How many living people are there on the surface of the planet now? There is almost nothing to look forward to.
Upon receiving this news, the company commander, who had experienced hundreds of battles, slumped directly on the command seat.
"——Malakin did a good job. He did not choose to retreat at the first time, because that would only cause the Red Pirates to spontaneously organize a pursuit. He chose to seize the opportunity where the Red Pirates were confused due to communication failure, and gave them first
The enemy caused very serious damage, completely destroying the morale of the Red Pirates, and then moved the star fort. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the fleet returned to the starting point safely. The star fort is now parked in the orbit of Nessun IV.
.”
After listening to Valier's story, Soshyan had a smile on his face.
"Although I failed to kill Huron, the lesson was profound enough. He will never dare to look directly at us again."
With that said, he jumped out of bed.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that the two pharmacists briefly communicated with their eyes.
"What's wrong? It seems like you have something that you can't talk about."
Valer scratched his temple, then took out a data pad and handed it to Soshyan.
"Just take a look."
Soshyan took the data tablet and scanned it for a while. His original joy quickly turned to heavy, then to anger, and finally to a rage that almost killed people.
"Sarpedon!!!!!!!!!!!!"
With a bang, the data tablet was smashed against the wall and shattered.
"I must kill you————————————!!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the medical treatment cabin, a chilling roar echoed and lingered for a long time...
