296, Astral Knights: Engine of the world, we are born to die! (3)
[No sound can be transmitted in the cold void of space.]
[But the horrific shock waves generated by the successive explosions of the forward fleets even began to shake the middle of the fleet where the battle barge was located, and also caused ripples on countless colorful void shields. ]
[Just inside the bridge of the Storm, countless complicated messages and alarms from the battlefield sounded one after another.]
[The master of your fleet immediately steps forward and passes you.]
[He tried to coordinate the Admiral and other fleet masters through the communication device to command the forward fleet that was being defeated by the world engine. ]
[However, the Necron world engine gave them no chance at all.]
[The huge planetary battleship withstood the terrifying bombardments of laser beams, laser macro cannons, and missile torpedoes from the center and rear of the huge fleet, countless naval cruisers and battleships, and continued to sail slowly forward. 】
[This also caused the frigates in the forward fleet that had no time to change their sailing direction and more wreckage of the forward fleet to be easily crushed like mosquitoes and flies by the silver shield of the world engine, completely turning into countless floating in the cold void.
Broken matter.】
[The next moment, a Moon-class heavy cruiser that seemed to be from the Crimson Fist Chapter quickly broke away from the combined fleet and stepped forward alone. ]
[The huge metal hull continued to pass through the shipwrecks floating around, directly touching the route of the world engine.]
[The plasma spears that suddenly cut through the icy void were like the emperor's wrath, launching a continuous terrifying bombardment at the advancing world engine.]
[But this level of bombing has no effect at all on the World Engine, which is covered with a layer of silver shield.]
[In an instant, a silver spear of light burst out and instantly penetrated the complete void shield of the Moon-class heavy cruiser. It cut off most of the bridge and also interrupted the cruiser's crazy plan to fire the Nova Cannon.
】
[The next second, the Necrons' world engine seemed to deliberately demonstrate its power and chose to continue sailing forward without hesitation. 】
[It will not be over until the huge planetary battleship crushes the long and narrow hull of the Moon-class heavy cruiser inch by inch. 】
[At this moment, the public communication channels in the entire combined fleet seem to have fallen into a special silent mode. ]
[Except for the calls for help and the intermittent miserable howls from the damaged battleships and wreckage, there seems to be no voice from any command personnel anymore. 】
[You crossed your arms with your hands and stood there with an indifferent expression.]
[You stared at the very tragic scene on the bridge screen, and you remained silent. 】
[At this moment, the master of the fleet, Shehz, slapped a palm heavily on the metal shell of the communication device, making a loud noise and frightening several mortal crew members wearing communication helmets nearby. ]
[You ignored the roar of the female captain Gretus scolding the fleet master Shehz.]
[You just took a deep breath, and then slowly let out a sigh from your mouth.]
[The first close contact between the human empire and the planetary-class weapon battleship world engine temporarily ended with the complete failure of your stubborn and arrogant Valf United Fleet.]
【Second month.】
[Accompanied by terrifying energy tides sweeping across the entire planet.]
[The industrial planet that is the ninth farthest away from the star center of the Valf Galaxy was completely turned into a death planet by the Gauss Railgun of the World Engine. 】
[Countless people of the empire who were too late to evacuate, together with the shelter facilities, were completely turned into handfuls of black ash floating freely in the cold universe. 】
【During this period, none of you even have time to mourn and grieve.】
[The combined fleets that have regrouped again and again just keep attacking the world engine.]
[But apart from losing more ships, the results gained can be said to be minimal.]
[And what frustrates the entire Valf rescue fleet the most is this.]
[It’s not just the void shield on your ship that can’t resist any attack from the opponent.]
[Even the big killer weapons you rely on, the Nova Cannon and Cyclone Torpedoes from the Chapter’s battleships, are unable to shake the silver shield of the World Engine in the slightest!]
[You have to engage in a war of attrition between ships at all costs with the World Engine, and try to negotiate a new way of attack. 】
[After several fierce arguments involving the use of bolt guns, the company commanders of all other battle groups unanimously decided to use the old method of joining gangs.]
[Let the Astartes monks use assault boats to try to forcefully land on the world engine to see if they can destroy the opponent's silver shield and gain an opportunity for the combined fleet to attack.]
[You discussed it again with the Imperial Navy Marshal Cruise and the Seventh Captain of the Ultramarines and others, and agreed to this helpless decision. ]
[So, before other battle groups could react. 】
[The company commander of the Invaders Chapter volunteered, and the team he brought included three Terminator squads who were willing to take on this assault mission with no return. ]
[After confirming the main attack team, everyone immediately returned to their respective ships and prepared for the next more intense battle. 】
[At the same time, the World Engine, which had just destroyed an industrial planet, rushed towards the next human planet that blocked its navigation route without hesitation. 】
[Of course, your losses and failures are not without gain.]
[You have gradually figured out some of the rules of action of the world engine through the sacrifice of countless frigates.]
[Any imperial ship that gets close to the opponent to a certain extent will suffer a devastating blow. 】
[But if the distance between the two parties is too far and there is no sign of continuing to track, then the World Engine does not seem to care. 】
[You decide to take advantage of this weakness of the other party.]
[Not long after, the regrouped combined fleet immediately took the initiative to cross the invisible cordon of the World Engine.]
[Frigates one after another covered the cruisers and battleships and launched the attack first.]
[Countless plasma lances and laser macrocannons, mixed with uninterrupted laser beams, launched fierce bombardments at the back of the world engine again and again. 】
[And their only role is to attract the attention of the world engine on the frontal battlefield. 】
[Search for an opportunity for a roundabout approach to a capital ship that is far away from the combined fleet and belongs to the invader battle group.]
[This allows the capital ships to release the landing assault craft carrying the Terminator squad.]
[At this moment, everything seems to be going according to the planned steps.]
[As expected, the world engine that was sailing forward was attracted by another attack of the combined fleet. 】
[The huge planet-class weapon battleship immediately turned its round silver sphere, changed its sailing direction, and launched a counterattack against the combined fleet's position. ]
[Silver spears of light continue to bloom from the inside of the opponent's sphere, destroying the ships of the United Fleet one after another.]
[At this moment, the battle group's main ship, which had sailed to the far side of the World Engine, immediately unfolded its deck and released several landing assault boats carrying the Terminator team. 】
[Hidden in the metal debris and energy fire, these inconspicuous landing assault craft quickly passed through the distant space and rushed towards the round sphere of the world engine. 】
[As the distance between the two sides got closer, streaks of red assault melt also hit the silver shield of the world engine.]
[But it still didn’t have any effect, not even a ripple of energy.]
[The assault boat pilot, who had anticipated this, immediately sent a jump signal to the Terminator team inside the engine room. ]
[The next second, the landing assault boats suddenly changed their flight direction, and the belly of the aircraft narrowly passed the silver shield of the World Engine. 】
[Three Terminator teams from the Invaders Chapter did not hesitate to activate the teleportation device inside the Terminator power armor and teleported up to the interior of the World Engine! ]
