Although Nova was unable to obtain more detailed information, at least Robert knew that it was a super battleship of the green-skinned orcs.
In addition to the interrogation results provided by Nova, his father also mentioned the key word "battle moon" to him.
That's right, scrap metal.
But if it is a piece of scrap metal with a diameter of a hundred kilometers, more than ten times larger than the human Olympus class, the situation will be a bit tricky.
Because this kind of battleship, built using unknown technology and inseparable from Waaagh's position, was too large, it was called the "Battle Moon".
According to the original plan, Robert personally led his troops here to prepare for contact with the Vaelin tribe living on this planet called "Otieno".
Either destroy it or cooperate.
Unexpectedly, when they left the fault space and arrived at Otieno, they found that the green-skinned orcs actually "helped" them make their first choice, trying to destroy this Vaelin tribe.
However, this move by the green-skinned orcs actually provided some "help" in disguise.
After thinking about the countermeasures in a very short period of time, Robert immediately left the porthole and walked quickly out of the bridge. He looked around at the crew members on the scene and said loudly:
"Inform all departments to prepare for battle. All battleships obey Captain Keyes and take the lead in getting rid of that pile of junk!"
"yes!"
Everyone is ready for a big fight, including Jacob Keyes, who sits in the captain's position and is regarded as a legend by modern naval generals and soldiers.
Leave the bridge.
Robert was accompanied by a group of victorious army guards equipped with ancient Roman style Terminators, with manes on the top of their helmets and white capes hanging behind them, and quickly headed to the belly of the ship.

…
Dawnguard Area 01 Hangar.
"Alfa, Charlie, and Carly squadrons please be ready to attack. It is expected to be in the best position in 180 seconds. Delta, Juliet, and Romeo squadrons are temporarily on standby. All ground crews will conduct inspections to ensure..."
"Did you all hear the broadcast? Ah?! Come on! Twist your plump, wrinkled buttocks and get in your precious car!"
"Sir! Yes! Sir!"
There was a lot of noise in the hangar, with announcements repeating orders and yelling and cursing from the squadron leader.
The decks at all levels are full of ground crews busy transporting bombs and conducting inspections, as well as pilots equipped with pressure-resistant and pressure-maintaining protective suits.
One of the pilots with olive branches on both sides of his helmet was patted on the shoulder by his captain while counting the personnel, and then quickly ran towards a plane fixed by a robotic arm, painted blue, with olive branches also printed on the nose.
And the Viking fighter plane with the "Ω" logo reversed.
Use the ladder provided by ground staff to quickly enter the cabin.
After sitting down, the protective suit and the ejection seat were fixed. Then, the pilot pushed three buttons in sequence with his left hand, raised his head, stretched out his right hand and gently pulled a red lever.
"Boom~..."
With the slight shaking of the fuselage, the engine started successfully, and the unfolded hatch gradually lowered and closed, completing the sealing state of the cabin.
The pilot continued to debug and displayed several holographic screens beside him. Outside the cabin, the ground crew had removed the ladder and released the mechanical arm from fixing the fuselage.
After confirming that everything was normal, the pilot extended his thumb to the ground crew, then calmed down his breathing rhythm and waited as calmly as possible...
"Beep~--!"
The hangar radio issued a shrill reminder.
The HUD helmets of all pilots in the Alpha, Charlie and Carly squadrons also instantly displayed the words "attack permission".
See this.
The pilot immediately controlled the Viking to increase altitude, stay away from the deck, turn around and merge into the ranks of his Alpha squadron. Then, the entire squadron accelerated simultaneously, rushed out of the hangar through the air valve film, and came to the place where ballistics and guns of various colors were already scattered.
A space of mass and explosion fire.
Leave the hangar.
He pulled the control stick back, led the four wingmen and the squadron to fly in separate directions, and quickly arrived above the Dawn Guardian's hull.
Taking advantage of the good visibility here, the pilot used the HUD screen with various signs to observe the entire area.
Directly in front of them was the orc fleet headed by Battle Moon, attacking them without any formation.
The opponent has hundreds of tattered warships and hundreds of thousands of equally tattered carrier-based aircraft that look like human fighter planes from the 1940s. Their attack methods are also quite "backward", mostly with live ammunition and live cannons, but their speed is amazing.
Very fast.
Look at their side.
Although they were at a numerical disadvantage, Case, who was in charge of the command, still divided the fleet into two parts.
The main force was headed by the Dawn Guardian, accompanied by twenty battleships, forming a "V" formation to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Orc fleet.
The other ten ships changed their sailing direction, quickly broke away from the fleet, then entered a jump state and disappeared from the visual range of both sides, without knowing where they were going.
at this time!
"All squadrons obey the order!" Robert's voice came from the communication channel: "I am your original body Robert. After the fleet completes the main gun salvo, follow me and rush into the enemy group first to eliminate the threat of enemy aircraft for the fleet!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Robert's godlike body with an exquisite external armor, a flaming sword in his left hand, and a 1200mm caliber laser cannon in his right hand appeared in the area above the fleet, leading 80 exclusive centurions driven by the victorious army.
At this time, Robert first raised the flaming sword high, and then slashed downwards, causing the everlasting fire arc to flash,
Ri~-------!
Phew~-------!
Boom--boom--boom!!
The electromagnetic main gun arrays of twenty-one human warships completed charging and fired salvos, causing heavy damage to the orc fleet.
Moreover, the moment most orc warships were penetrated by tungsten iron projectiles, their "precarious" structures instantly collapsed and fell apart, and many orcs who were thrown into space could still be vaguely seen...
They are plant-green and are huge in size and extremely strong in physique, far exceeding that of ordinary humans. When the light of the explosion hits their skin, it looks even more "oily and shiny".
Of course, the orc race is not only composed of these huge guys, but actually consists of countless people, just like the thin, timid "goblins" commonly seen in video games.
Wow~!!
The moment they were thrown into space, the "goblins" were frozen into "popsicles". However, the orcs were still shouting crazily, but there was no medium for sound transmission in the vacuum, so they could only see their rather funny struggling movements until they became oily.
, the green skin was also covered with frost, and then it completely lost its movement and became "natural green" space junk.
As for the Battle Moon that was locked by the Dawn Guardian, when it was about to be bombarded by the main artillery, a different kind of barrier was raised.
Although it did not successfully neutralize all projectiles, especially the 50-ton projectiles, it also alleviated the situation where the projectiles would cause continuous damage to the battle moon to the greatest extent.
After that, the gap where the projectile penetrated would be repaired by dense "technical orcs", and then, contrary to common sense, it could be restored to the original state almost in the blink of an eye.
“…”
What's going on??
The pilots who controlled the Viking fighter planes to follow the body of God and the Centurion formation used the far-sighted function provided by the HUD helmet to observe such a situation and couldn't help but feel sad.
At this time...
Boom--Boom--!!
A shield wall along the entire flight front completely isolated the two sides, and the shield wall composed of countless "◇" diamond-shaped blocks offset a live ammunition salvo from the orcs.
"Everyone!" Robert's passionate voice came out of the communication again: "Let these green-skinned things see the power of the Ultramarines!"
As he spoke, the God's Body at the tip of the flight line increased its speed, the blue flames of its back thruster intensified, and was the first to make contact with the green-skinned orcs' carrier-based aircraft group.
The god's body once again raised his left hand high and waved, releasing the flaming sword into a rolling sea of fire, which also defied common sense and swallowed up and burned a large number of enemy aircraft.
Holding the 1200mm laser cannon in his right hand, he adjusted the angle of the muzzle and pulled the trigger. A straight high-energy beam was immediately released, penetrating all enemy aircraft and ships along the way, and disappearing into deep space. It was unknown which "unlucky" object would be involved in the end.
on a planet or asteroid.
The Centurion formation is not that exaggerated, but it is more than a hundred times more powerful than the Orcs' tattered fighter planes. Together with the God's body, it penetrates deep into the enemy's formation and quickly expands its results.
Seeing all this, the pilots and even the entire carrier-based aircraft squadron were excited, their morale was high, and they immediately launched a joint stranglehold on the Orc fleet.
The humanoid structure has advantages and disadvantages, and the body of a god is quite eye-catching even in space naval battles. It can be an absolute deterrent to the enemy. After all, anyone who sees a hundred-meter giant will feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
It can boost fighting spirit to a great extent.
"Ting! Ting!"
The sound of the Gauss cannon firing in short bursts was transmitted into the cabin through the vibration of the fuselage. The only sound during the fierce battle was incompatible with the explosions and fire outside the headwind window.
But as a veteran of hundreds of battles and an ace, the pilot has long been accustomed to the bizarre sights of space naval battles.
The moment he bit an enemy plane and blew it up, he immediately pulled the control stick backward, causing the Viking fighter to rise rapidly and throw away the other two enemy planes following him at a large elevation angle.
At the same time, the scene outside the sealed window also changed, showing the scene of a stalemate between humans and orc fleets, and...
call out--------!!
A high-energy beam with a diameter of at least four hundred meters and emitting dazzling red light was shot from the direction of the Orc fleet, "vaporizing" several carrier-based aircraft squadrons and destroying many of their own comrades.
And this beam also shattered the energy shield of a Gorgon-class, and then melted through the entire starboard side. Immediately afterwards, due to the complete imbalance of air pressure, coupled with the severe damage to the hull and engine, there was a "delay of several seconds" and it was impossible to
A violent explosion was contained.
The distance between battleships is wide enough, otherwise the damage caused by this beam will be more than that.
The pilot was shocked.
That's the Gorgon class...
The energy shield power is the best among all human battleships. Even without a shield, its A-class titanium alloy armor is 1700mm thick, making it a well-deserved "battleship".
But such a steel behemoth cannot resist a high-energy beam four hundred meters wide.
After adjusting the angle of the fuselage and switching offensive and defensive positions, the pilot came behind the two enemy planes he had thrown away and easily destroyed them with cannon and missiles.
After successfully dealing with the nearby threats and rejoining the wingman, the pilot had some time to spare and re-activated the helmet's far-sighted function to observe the source of the high-energy beam before it was emitted - the Battle Moon.
If the orcs have large-scale, large-caliber energy weapons, why not use them at the beginning of the battle?
Is it "learning now and selling it now" to imitate the plasma and laser artillery of their fleet?
impossible……
Thinking of this possibility, the pilot felt extremely solemn.
However, he took a deep breath, quickly stabilized his mentality, and focused on assisting the fleet to deal with the Orc fighter planes, because he saw the body of God "leaving behind" the centurion and rushing toward the battle moon alone.
Although their original body is not good at martial arts, it is still the original body!
It is this "Primarch Effect" that "as long as the Primarch is around, the enemy's leader will be killed by us", the pilots and even all members of the legion have absolute confidence.
On the other hand, Robert...
Bang!!
boom!!
The shield deployed by the body of God bounced back, neutralizing all attacks. In contrast, his energy and spiritual energy consumption gradually increased.
The diamond-shaped shield does not require a nuclear fusion reactor for energy, but it does require him, as the "soul" of God's body, to be responsible for maintaining and operating it.
At this moment, Robert had no time to take care of himself. He realized what his father had reminded him about the "I think (I think)" about the green-skinned orcs.
For example, the high-energy beam just now was obviously imitated by the 1200mm laser cannon he used, making the orcs "think" that they also needed an energy weapon.
As for the electromagnetic gun…
Maybe they think that the "viewing effect" is not as good as that of high-energy beams, and the projectiles strike so fast that they don't have time to "think about it" carefully, so they are not used by the orcs to "think about it".
So before the number of casualties continued to increase, Robert did indeed control the body of God to "decapitate" the battle moon just as the pilots and the entire legion thought.
at this time.
The ten warships that had left the battlefield before the war suddenly ended their jump sailing state and appeared on the right side of the Orc fleet group, and lined up in a "/" shaped formation. Without stopping for a moment, they cooperated with the main force of the legion to resist the front.
, launched a volley at the Orc fleet and Battle Moon that were unable to react.
And it’s also a salvo of cross effects.
This time, it can be said that the orc was stunned.
In fact, Keyes, who was responsible for commanding the naval battle, used very simple tactics, namely "detour" and "crossing".
If it is a regular voyage, the "detour" operation will definitely be noticed by the enemy, even if the enemy is an orc who looks stupid, but in fact it may not be so.
But humans are "rich" and their warships are equipped with both jump and jump engines. Naturally, they reappeared when the orcs couldn't figure out why the ten warships took the initiative to "escape", and completed a cross formation with the main force led by Case.
Robert, who deployed his shield to withstand enemy attacks and salvos from his own side, also successfully rushed to the vicinity of the Battle Moon, which was damaged for the second time.
He hung the laser cannon on his back, held the flaming sword given by his father with both hands, struggled to break through the alternative spiritual barrier generated by the battle moon, then split the metal surface and rushed inside, giving the orcs a god's body.
