Chapter 377 Extreme enjoyment and orbital competition
While the Spartan battalions and the UNSC fleet were all-out attacking, encroaching on the Phoenix sector one by one, their primarch John personally led the 1st and 2nd battalions and elite auxiliary forces, as well as the UNSC fleet directly to the Phoenix sector.
Capital Galaxy----
Cherinos.
As the closest being to the Eye of Terror and belonging to the portal, Cherinos is surrounded by a dazzling nebula where reality and nothingness are mixed and blended together, and full of chaotic spiritual energy.
If a weak-willed mortal sails a ship and gets involved here, demonic whispers will frequently appear in his ears, and extremely tempting fantasies will appear before his eyes. It won't take long before he will fall into the path of chaos and be willing to sacrifice himself in order to satisfy his desires.
soul.
However, for the residents of the New Human Empire living nearby, they have long been reduced to slaves of Chaos. Even young children must accept their physically and mentally deformed parents and perform various filthy rituals.
Observing the periphery of the galaxy, we can find that its star is similar to the sun of Holy Terra, but there are no eight major planets orbiting it. There is only one earth-like planet with a diameter of about 14,000 kilometers. This is also the capital planet of the Phoenix Sector.
Cherinos.
Bring into view.
The surface environment of Cherinos is no different from those garden worlds in the Pious Sector, and in low-Earth orbit, in addition to deployed orbital artillery and warships of all levels, there are actually numerous "artificial satellites".
Looking carefully, these man-made satellites look like the Emperor's Sons used broken plates from other terrestrial planets to pull them into the gravitational range of Cherinos, and then used the assistance of chaotic spiritual energy and evil magic to transform them, building them one by one and exposing them to the
Radiation, even in a vacuum, it is intact...
opera,
museum,
Arena,
Waiting for a series of space buildings that look classic but are extremely luxurious and can be called works of art.
"?~?~§~∮~!"
Due to the close connection between the reality here and the different space, elegant, melodious, and even a hint of violent music can be clearly heard in a vacuum environment.
If you get close to those arenas, you can clearly hear the cheers and cheers, as well as the roars and shouts of the gladiators.
The Emperor's Children and fallen nobles who live here use everything they can think of to enjoy, watch, and constantly improve various recreational activities and various works of art to satisfy their desire for ultimate perfection.
Before the Emperor's Children took over here, the system once had a complete system of planets, gas giants, and asteroids like many ordinary colonies.
But the most ironic thing is that this galaxy once had absolute loyalty and firm belief in the Emperor and the "Imperial Truth".
Unfortunately, after the new Human Empire was established, the Emperor's Sons, on the orders of Horus, wiped out all the original inhabitants, and even destroyed the names of the galaxies.
After two hundred and forty years of blasphemy, this place is no longer as absolute and firm as it once was. There is only the indulgence and enjoyment of Chaos Astartes and mortal scum. Fulgrim then changed its name to Chelinor.
Si, making it his capital.
If you zoom in further and observe, you can see that in a gladiatorial arena, the auditorium is filled with aristocrats wearing gorgeous clothes, with all kinds of masochistic jewelry and decorations on their skin, and their skin is fair and purple.
In the center of the field, there are two gladiator slaves wearing dark purple armor and stomach, with iron chains piercing the skin tied to their thighs and forearms. In order to please the nobles and the gods they believe in, they are struggling to wave their hands.
battle axes and spears, engaged in a life-and-death duel.
If you change your gaze and look at a hanging garden exposed to a vacuum and radiation environment, you can also see aristocratic men and women enjoying themselves in an extremely masochistic way, and the blood will soak their soft beds. Even so, their expressions and
His expression was only relaxed and joyful, without any pain at all.
Of course, the Emperor's Children, who are more depraved than these mortal nobles, are able to perform activities in these opera houses, arenas and on the surface of Cherinos that are unimaginable and indescribable to ordinary humans.
Precisely because they only care about their own selfish desires, although the Phoenix Sector has a territory second only to the Dark Sector, it is always ranked at the bottom in terms of paying taxes and providing soldiers to the New Human Empire.
Nowadays, the situation is besieged on all sides, but there is still a scene of "Singing and Singing Every Night" here, which completely proves that they no longer have normal order, management and maintenance, and the peripheral galaxies are fighting on their own.
At this moment, nearly nine hundred jump exits were suddenly created, allowing expeditionary warships of different specifications to leave the fault space and reach the space area about 40,000 kilometers away from the surface of Cherinos.
The jump exit dissipates.
The expeditionary force warships are lined up, and the flagship in the center is not the home world of the Spartan Legion. It is a 32-kilometer-long Titan-class, and it is also one of John's other wartime flagships, Aspasia.
Number.
As for the Leodani, John temporarily handed it over to Attilas Rhea, the commander of the 3rd Battalion.
After all, in the absence of the original body on the frontal battlefield, Sparta needed the home world to ensure that they had an absolute firepower advantage.
What's more, John seems to be a stable and taciturn Primarch, but in fact he likes to take risks and make sudden advances. Confidence and luck are his best weapons.
After their expeditionary force had set up its formation, Cherinos had just begun to respond. The dispatch of artillery and warships was disordered, and it was obvious that they had failed to transition from pleasure to wartime.
This scenario…
Put it in front of Sparta, who is good at discovering the enemy's weaknesses and forming a team to beat them to death, and the UNSC fleet, which comes from the Frontier Fortress sector and has been fighting hostile aliens all year round, it is purely an act of seeking death.
stop!
The electromagnetic gun fires an instant salvo.
And the most dazzling, bright, and even electromagnetic ballistic trajectory that threatens to pierce this filthy space is coming from the Aspasia.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a Titan-class ship and the flagship of a primarch, the Aspasia's electromagnetic main gun is 7,000 meters long and can fire 120 tons.
Tungsten iron projectiles.
Not to mention that the Aspasia is also equipped with an array of twelve 60-ton electromagnetic guns. Even without Gauss, plasma secondary guns and missile launch bays, as well as the administrator's civilization's beam matrix system, its firepower is...
Enough to deal with and crush all kinds of "junk".
Boom boom!
The explosion and the fireball were generated almost simultaneously.
Thousands of tungsten-iron projectiles with powerful impact and penetration capabilities were seen, giving Cherinos' orbital platform and warships a sense of "explosion in space".
There is no way, who makes the trajectory of the electromagnetic gun follow a straight trajectory when it comes out? Only when it is affected by the gravity of a star or a gas giant planet, will deflection and error occur.
As for the hanging garden where the bloody orgy was staged just now, unfortunately, it happened to block the flight path of the 120-ton tungsten iron projectile. Therefore, the nobles who had not had time to get up from their beds and escape, before their minds could notice the pain, their bodies
It has been crushed into slag.
To put it simply, the soul is still there, but the body is gone.
Of course, a mere hanging garden could not stop the impact of the 120-ton projectile. It destroyed the garden, penetrated two other four-kilometer-level warships, and finally came into contact with the equatorial area on the backside of Cherinos...
boom!
Long!
The sky collapsed.
The moment the projectile completed its impact with the ground, a special mushroom cloud in the shape of "karma" was immediately formed. The smoke, dust and rubble in the center shot straight into the sky, at least a hundred kilometers away, while the surrounding ground fragments were scattered in irregular shapes.
The arc fell towards the distance.
The plates began to move violently because of this "small" 120-ton tungsten iron projectile, and the entire land was subjected to a scene of destruction.
Taking the impact center as the origin, magma spewed out within a radius of 300 kilometers, the surface was reshaped within 2,000 kilometers, buildings 4,000 kilometers away were destroyed, and the earthquake was clearly felt 6,000 kilometers away...
Although the effect is far inferior to that of a single Nova nuclear bomb, if three Titan-class ships use the maximum power of their main guns and electromagnetic gun arrays to carry out multiple strikes at different angles, it is enough to "blow up" an Earth-like planet.
Moreover, the cost of this type of extermination order is equivalent to that of two Nova nuclear bombs. After all, tungsten-iron projectiles are simple to manufacture, and the barrel consumption of the electromagnetic gun is about nothing. However, at this stage, the total number of Titans in service is barely more than 300.
ship, so humans in the main universe rarely use electromagnetic guns to "judge" planets.
When the Spartans completed a salvo of main guns, the surface and orbital deployment on the back side of Cherinos were messed up. Although they were not completely wiped out, they still suffered about 40% losses.
Fortunately, John only led 900 battleships. If the main force of his expeditionary force had gathered here, Cherinos might have been destroyed by a salvo of main guns.
But that was not the result John wanted, because his father wanted to capture alive Fulgrim, a half-father and half-mother brother. If someone accidentally killed the fallen primarch, his father would not be happy.
.
So after the salvo, the group of 900 battleships used the Aspasia as the spearhead and formed an inverted "V", which was a formation similar to the Spartan Legion's symbol "Λ".
The speed is getting faster and faster, and the battleship group also takes advantage of the gap between the main gun and the electromagnetic gun array to charge up, and launches non-stop Gauss and plasma artillery attacks on Cherinos.
There were countless slender flaring projectiles composed of m spikes, and even the twelve mm-caliber plasma cannons of the Aspasia were pouring out densely packed green-blue light in the blink of an eye.
of artillery regiment.
Boom boom!
The high-speed spikes and high-temperature artillery batteries directly destroyed a large number of enemy ships that had just responded and were preparing to engage in a fierce battle with the nine hundred battleships.
The distance between the two sides further shortened.
Both sides launched artillery fire exchanges...
Even the carrier-based aircraft of both sides engaged in a confrontation.
In dealing with the enemy aircraft group, the 900 battleship group directly used the 25mm six-tube pulse close-in defense cannon with extremely fast firing rate, but in the vacuum environment, the pleasant and crisp sound of the gunfire could not be heard, forming an unimaginable barrage.
Fires were everywhere.
At this time, two fourteen-kilometer Olympus-class ships, six five-kilometer Zeus-class ships, and bee-like Saker, Viking, Long Sword attack aircraft, and...
The Centurion V-type mechas, which are made using Manager biotechnology and have gone through several iterations, together form a large-scale carrier-based fleet, responsible for accompanying the Aspasia in the breakthrough, breaking away from the 900 battleships first, and rushing to a distance of about 100 meters from the surface.
kilometers of low-Earth orbit.
The formation is dispersed.
The nine hundred battleship groups also formed nine "Λ", changing the angle of attack, preparing to implement blockade procedures on Cherinos, and at the same time, more efficiently deal with the battleships and defenses deployed in orbit by the Emperor's Children and Mortal Scum.
The two Olympus-class ships following the Aspasia are the flagships of the 1st and 2nd Spartan Battalions. The total number is more than 260, about 15 meters in height, and equipped with exclusive
The Centurion V is equipped with a nanosuit, external A-grade titanium alloy armor and a nuclear fusion reactor. Its driver is an elite veteran of the 1st Company of the 1st and 2nd Battalions.
As for the Warrior Guards, who have the more advanced Centurion VII and can also skillfully use psychic powers, they are not able to pilot their biological mechas to participate in the battle due to more important tasks.
I saw one of the centurions whose armor was painted in dark green and dark black, but whose helmet was decorated with a golden olive branch. He stood out holding a 200mm three-barreled gauss cannon. The veteran in charge of driving left his brothers behind.
Actively releases a diamond-shaped "◇" stance to block incoming live ammunition and beam attacks mixed with chaotic psychic energy.
Immediately afterwards, while the veteran increased his speed, he aimed the Gauss cannon at a group of enemy planes diagonally to the left that had dragon-shaped demonic creatures, rough shapes, and dark purple paint, and then...
“TengTeng!
"
The unique sweet sound of the Gauss cannon, accompanied by the Centurion's right arm pulling the trigger, spread into the cockpit filled with biological slime.
The holographic screen here is linked to the centurion's eyes. The beyond-visual-range visual ability allows the veteran to easily see the entire battlefield situation, and he marked a large number of red dots, indicating that the left oblique front of the enemy aircraft group is bearing 200mm at this moment.
The fierce attack of spike bombs.
At this moment, the distance between the two parties shortened rapidly...
shorten…
Touch!
Peng~!Peng~!
The screen showed that the enemy plane was ejected from the diamond-shaped "◇" position before it could make a substantial collision with the Centurion. Instead, it was the huge, corrupted pair of wings with holes, flying in the vacuum relying on the power of chaos.
, and also turned into a dark purple skeletal dragon, but was deliberately let go by the veteran.
Soon, the veteran stopped pulling the trigger, hung the Gauss cannon on the right side of the ammunition box behind the centurion, freed his hands, and collided directly with the dragon.
Peng!
winter!
Get stuck!
In the midst of lightning and flint, the wings, front paws and hind feet of the giant skeleton dragon were torn off by the centurion, and it became a "dragon stick"...
It seems that the "good tradition" of cutting captured targets into "sticks" has quietly spread among all legions.
With the idea that doctors should also be interested in this kind of demonic creature, the veteran grabbed the dragon's neck with his left hand and turned around to return to the flagship of the 1st Battalion.
When he completed the turn, the picture displayed on the holographic screen happened to show that the Aspasia and the 1st and 2nd Battalions had arrived at the designated orbit and were airdropping to the surface.
