295, Astral Knight: Engine of the world, we are born to die! (2)
【First month.】
[The entire fleet of the Chapter finally left the subspace and successfully arrived in the Valf System.]
[According to the astrological information sent by the empire, you changed the direction of the fleet and headed for a frozen planet that is seventh far away from the central star of the entire galaxy and is completely made of solid ammonia. ]
[Today, this inaccessible frozen planet has officially become the gathering place for the fleets of various battle groups. 】
[At this moment, in addition to the space orbit of the frozen planet, there are also two nearby mining satellites. 】
[It is also almost full of huge ships belonging to other battle groups and the Imperial Navy.]
[There are battle group flagships or battle barges that are loaded with alien technology and have symbolic significance, as well as maneuverable cruisers and powerful battleships. Even the number of frigates and various auxiliary ships is even more difficult to count. 】
[As the only rescue group led by the Chapter Master himself, you are responsible for setting up the meeting place on the battle barge Storm.]
[You led several company commanders under your command to receive company commanders from various battle groups one by one, as well as the supreme commander responsible for coordinating and commanding this battle, Imperial Navy Marshal Cruise.]
[After the chaplains of each war group carried incense and recited prayers, they set up shrines belonging to their respective war groups in the chapter hall called the Hall of Hatred in the upper cabin of the Storm.]
[You finally gathered together and held a pre-war meeting on how to stop the World Engine. 】
【However, in the following period.】
[Everyone had a fierce quarrel because of who would launch the first attack on the World Engine, and then the quarrel turned into personal attacks on their respective war groups. 】
[The colors of the power armor are similar, and they are basically the same green. The Dawn Goddess Chapter and the Invader Chapter started a war of words against each other. 】
[A company commander from the Blood Angels Chapter always has a gloomy and pale face. He subconsciously licks the slender fangs in his mouth, and his blood-red eyes occasionally glance at anyone who passes in front of him. ]
[A Captain of the Crimson Fist with a solemn face walked up to the Seventh Captain of the Ultramarines and discussed something in a low voice with each other. Even Marine Marshal Cruise came up and listened. 】
[However, just when the company commanders of several other battle groups started shouting that they planned to leave for a one-on-one duel. 】
[Keeping silent, you casually pulled out the bolter and pulled the trigger at the top of the Hall of Hatred.]
[In an instant, the roar of explosive bombs overwhelmed everyone's quarrels and discussions. 】
[You first glanced at these Astartes Captains who you have never met before with a serious expression.]
[Then, you slowly said to everyone, everyone must admit that each battle group has its own fighting methods and tactical habits. Even to the extreme, even the weapon configurations on the ships are different. 】
[But the situation we are facing now is that we need to put aside these differences and disputes and unite to form a powerful force in order to save the Valf Galaxy and resist the ravages of the World Engine. ]
[Then, without hesitation, you told everyone about the almost miraculous technological means and equipment of the Necrons that you knew or had seen. 】
[You want to use this to awaken the vigilance of the company commanders and make them let go of their inner stubbornness and arrogance.]
[Unfortunately, in addition to the captain of the Crimson Fist and the seventh captain of the Ultramarines, there are also Imperial Navy Marshal Cruise and others who seem to have listened to your advice and are thoughtful.]
[The company commanders of other major battle groups only expressed superficial respect for your words.]
[You seem to see a trace of ridicule and contempt for the Astral Knights from their expressionless faces and deep in their eyes.]
[You took a deep breath subconsciously.]
[You tried hard to suppress the anger that was gradually rising in your chest.]
[You slowly stepped aside and allowed the pre-war meeting, which was back on track, to continue. 】
[In the end, everyone still supported Imperial Navy Marshal Cruise as the supreme commander of this battle, rather than a mascot of the United Fleet in name only. 】
[After the meeting, you had a private discussion with Imperial Navy Marshal Cruise, who chose to follow some of your suggestions.]
[As a result, this large joint rescue fleet quickly completed its reorganization and arrangement. 】
[The fleet led by Admiral Cruise is the main one, with the fleet chiefs of each major group serving as auxiliary command.]
[You have officially launched a tentative attack on the Necron world engine.]
[Today, the world engine of the Necron is rampaging on the void route of the Valf System, the life planet ninth far from the star. 】
[If you are unable to stop the other party from moving forward.]
[Then this industrial planet will be completely destroyed, and the tens of millions of imperial people on it who will not have time to evacuate will become victims.]
[Not long after, the vanguard ship of the combined fleet finally had its first collision and exchange of fire with the world engine, which was so large that it almost covered the sky.]
[Accompanied by countless laser arrays on a large number of ships and macro-cannon arrays that cut through the icy void with deadly beams.]
[This is also the first time you can clearly see from the screens on the flagship bridge, this planet-level weapon battleship that seems to be completely shrouded in thick dark clouds and endless rolling thunder. 】
[On the surface of this alien technological creation, which is as big as a planet, it seems to be always covered with an unknown shield that shines with silver light. 】
[At this moment, there are a large number of terrorist attacks from the forward fleet.]
[The dense laser beams, macro cannon lights, and the continuous bombardment of countless exploding missiles and torpedoes that almost obscured most of the icy void have never been able to penetrate the unknown shield at all.]
[Not even a ripple of energy fluctuation was stimulated. 】
[This is one of the external manifestations of the power of Necron technology and the ultimate in materialism...]
[You crossed your arms and frowned in thought.]
[At this moment, the forward fleet that continued to attack seemed to be planning to change the formation of each ship and regroup for a more powerful firepower bombardment. ]
[However, the next second, silver spears of light that bloomed like lightning suddenly shot out from the inside of the world engine. 】
[It penetrated the void shields of the vanguard fleets almost in the blink of an eye, and even cut through the metal bodies of huge ships with ease!]
