The perception of time by all things usually depends on the cycle of individual existence. Human beings, as a member of the galaxy and even the vast universe, are no exception. Ge
But the complexity of civilization gives them more perspectives to experience:
In the operation of behemoths such as battleships, countless people often have no idea of their own role in the war when completing their tasks. From a global perspective, they are even less able to perceive the scale of time and individuals.
The gap between battles.
The naval battle has begun for half an hour, and after several rounds of exchanges of fire, the distance between the Grand Fleet and the Chaos Fleet continues to get closer.
The high-energy lasers of the light spears illuminated each other between the two fleets, and the nuclear flash of the Nova Cannon also continued to light up in the vacuum of the universe.
During this period, the empire's fleet did not suffer any substantial losses except for a few battleships that suffered shield overload and armor-level damage;
On the other hand, the situation of the Chaos Fleet is much worse.
The numerical advantage of the imperial fleet is too obvious. Under the concentrated fire of more than a dozen battleships, the sirens on the battleships almost never stop. Ge
The shields of the six warships were all without exception, and all suffered serious overload incidents.
But this is still not a decisive damage. The balance of war seems to still have room for wrestling. Although the heirs of Alpharius are worried, they still seem to see the possibility of survival.
But they are not blindly optimistic, because they all know clearly that the real naval battle has not yet begun.
Once the fleet enters the shooting range of the macro cannon, the fleet, as the most powerful weapon platform of human civilization, can display its true killing skills.
Situations such as fighter plane bombings, torpedo strangulation, and macro-cannon fire will fill everyone's eyes. Even the cruel and bloody gang-hopping wars that the Astartes are best at will have the opportunity to appear...
Two more hours passed, and when they arrived at the orbit of the third planet in the Ophelia galaxy, the large fleet with absolute firepower advantage took the lead in turning horizontally and cutting into the interior of the galaxy.
At a distance of less than 6,000 kilometers, the Imperial Fleet completely brought the remaining five main ships of the Chaos Fleet within the range of the broadside macrocannon. Ge
Such an operation is undoubtedly a tactical adventure of fleet commander Tabers. Its advantage is to maximize the firepower advantage of the entire ship, skipping the rhythm of the naval battle through the long trial, and pulling it into the bloodiest climax in advance. p>
The risk of doing this is that if all enemy ships cannot be destroyed within the time when the battle lines meet, then when the large fleet completes its turn, the enemy will have enough time to break away from the battle and escape into subspace. p>
The Chaos Fleet also noticed the fleeting glimmer of hope on the battlefield, and they headed in the opposite direction to the Imperial Fleet's array line.
The distance between the two sides was further shortened. When they entered a distance of 4,500 kilometers, these space behemoths roared again and used dense light spears to carve molten scars on each other's adamantine armor.
The battle between the frigates was even more fierce. While they were shooting wildly in an attempt to intercept the torpedoes launched by the opponent, they were also firing their own torpedoes in the direction of the enemy fleet.
The distance has reached 2,000 kilometers, which is already the ultimate range of the macro-cannon calculation array. Everyone in the weapons rooms of the warships on both sides was highly nervous, staring at the communicator in the gunner's hand.
"Fire!" Ge
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Countless roars sounded in the battleship's weapons room, and nearly a hundred container-sized shells dragged long tail flames, causing waves on the shields of the two fleets.
The piercing siren sounded in the corridor of the battleship, and all the participants in the battle invariably grabbed the fixed objects around them, preparing to face the impact of direct macro-cannon fire.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The macrocannon shells continued to explode on the shield of the Endless Jihad, and the energy of the void shield was violently consumed and then replenished by the energy storage unit in an instant.
After giving up part of the energy supply of the spear array, the void shield of the Endless Jihad gained more than 20% additional energy redundancy. Ge
And it is this extra 20% energy that allows it to serve as the spearhead of the fleet and carry five Chaos Fleets
The battleships focused their fire and drove steadily in the void.
This is the unique advantage of the Apocalypse-class battleship. The design of the full-energy weapon array enabled Mars to equip it with an extraordinary energy supply system when it first designed this battleship.
Calvin had arrived at the preparation hall at this time. After completing the handover of command with Tabos, he left the position of commander in chief of the fleet and began to prepare in advance for the upcoming gang-hopping battle.
This is the first battle of the first large group in legion mode, and it is also the day when the first large group is officially awarded the flag and has its own chapter number. Calvin hopes that they will dye their battle flag red with the blood of traitors.
Under the gaze of thousands of Gray Knights, Calvin strode through the crowd. The honor guard carried the banners of the Gray Knights' chapter and company on their shoulders, and followed his footsteps together with the Custodes Guards.
Under the emperor's icon, the Honor Guard placed the flags of the Gray Knights Chapter and the Silver Blade on both sides. The last member among them, escorted by two champion swordsmen, held a
A brand new flag stands.
Facing the enthusiastic eyes of the Gray Knights, Calvin spoke after a long silence: Ge
"Do you know what mission is?"
"For the Emperor's armor, defend the hope of humanity!" The Gray Knights responded loudly, and the thunderous sound echoed in the hall.
"Do you know what hope is?" Calvin continued to ask, looking at Allen in the front row of the crowd.
"Reason and order!" Countless soul exchanges in the Legion's will allow all Gray Knights to understand Calvin's philosophy.
When the Primarch asked them for the answer that had long been implemented in their hearts, the Gray Knights responded to his call and gave an answer that was completely different from the traditional Astartes of the Empire.
"Why defend?" Calvin's voice carries his unique psychic attributes. Just one person is enough to be equal to all the Gray Knights.

"Only sacrifice and redemption!" A firm answer shouted from the mouths of all the sons of Calvin. Ge
Calvin could understand from their profoundly aware eyes that this was an armed force that he wanted to see, completely different from the empire's previous armies.
"Good!" Calvin nodded, and then looked at Alan Janus, who was at the front of the crowd. The latter stepped forward, walked to Calvin and knelt down on one knee.
The original body pulled out the sword he used daily from his waist. The narrow and wide blade was different from the common regulations of the empire, and it was not a Roman-style broad sword.
It is more like a combination of Eastern and Western cultures, with complex inscriptions on the six sides of the sword.
Calvin personally handed it to Alan Janus, who took the sword with both hands under the watchful eyes of everyone.
At the moment when the sword, which symbolizes responsibility and mission, was handed over, Calvin said to Allen:
"Be kind to this sword as you would be kind to your brother." Ge
"No!"
"Use this sword well, as you will understand your subordinates."
"No!"
"Always look at this sword, just as you must be firm in your ideals."
"No!"
After three questions and answers, Calvin released his hand and signaled Allen to stand up. The Honor Guard behind him presented the brand new flag and handed it to Allen Janus to take it personally.
Under the flag decorated with silver flames and swords held by Allen, under the gaze of the entire first group of thousands of gray knights, Calvin loudly announced: Go
"In the name of the Emperor! In the name of the Imperium of Man! I grant you today the designation of the First Chapter under the Legion.
I hope you will live up to expectations and become the sword of chaos for the empire! The hope of reason for mankind!"
"Nothing but death!" Thousands of Calvin's sons suddenly agreed.
