Travel to Warhammer 40K with Gray Wind

Chapter 131 Boarding Torpedo

When the pilot came back to his senses, the monster covered with feathers and eyeballs had disappeared. Only the psychic shield hanging above his head was still bearing the orbital impact from the Eumenides, and was constantly swinging. There were waves in the water.

The ecstasy of the aftermath was followed by panic and fear as the psychic dust that was supposed to power the warp detection equipment in his pocket disappeared.

A low-level mortal pilot loses such a precious resource. If his immediate boss is a hive noble with a bad character, then the only outcome waiting for him is to be tortured to death. The atmosphere of the Order of Truth is more open-minded, and there will be no severe penalties for losses caused by force majeure, but there are still normal procedures for investigation.

While worrying about his future, the mortal pilot also had some doubts. Where does the psychic shield above your head come from? Why didn't that monster kill him and just take away the psychic dust?

The pilot, who had learned mechanical knowledge since childhood, had never dabbled in deeper psychic theories. He did not know that the psychic dust burned into the souls of the Eldar was a pure psychic energy without any emotional impurities.

If the souls of human psykers are a fragrant delicacy to the warp demons, then the high-purity psychic dust refined through chain reaction distillation is a highly effective hallucinogen that once you have tasted it, you will never forget it. agent. Even human psykers inevitably become addicted once they overdose.

And the blue-haired monster did show the symptoms of addiction after taking too much psychic dust at this time. Its body disappeared and appeared in the battlefield shrouded by the psychic shield, constantly weaving with the soul wrapped around it. Thread opens the curtain between reality and illusion, and uses uninterrupted short-distance teleportation to reach the surviving preachers scattered throughout the battlefield, snatching the psychic dust they carry.

Traveling through space through subspace requires extremely strong spiritual attainments and spiritual cultivation, and it also carries great risks, because it is essentially equivalent to a ship directly creating a ship without opening the Geller force field. Needless to say, there are dangers in entering the Sea of ​​Souls.

Even for the Gray Knights, the psychic warriors created by the Emperor of Mankind, equipping a teleportation backpack for short-distance subspace jumps is an extremely fatal and dangerous act. However, this monster with blue-purple bird feathers and blood-stained eyeballs is It can wander between reality and reality unscrupulously, looking for the high-purity psychic substances that fascinate it.

After the dust in the hands of the preachers was sucked up, it actually began to attack the subspace detection equipment carried by the expedition team, burying its head in the machine to suck the spiritual energy that drove the equipment.

The preachers initially wanted to prevent this monster of unknown origin from plundering precious psychic dust, but after observing a strange phenomenon, they finally made the sarcastic banshee put down her spear of argument:

Every time this monster absorbs some psychic dust, more feathers and eyeballs will grow on its body surface. As the body became more bloated and twisted, the blue dome hanging over the battlefield also became more solid, and the Eumenides' orbital bombardment became more difficult to shake the psychic shield.

"This monster is protecting us?"

"Who knows, hurry up and evacuate. We can't predict what it will do after it can't find any dust to suck."

"Understood, let's go."

The remaining preachers quickly made a decision after clarifying the current situation and weighing the pros and cons. This is the usual confidence and decisiveness of monks who believe in the truth:

They did not hesitate to throw away all subspace-related equipment and all spare dust they carried, and began to evacuate to the transmission beacon at full speed.

The changes on the ground also attracted the attention of the Eumenides, but the crew at this time had no time to pay attention.

Because the fleet is surrounding us.

A pincer formation composed of dozens of Swordfish frigates and Adeptus Mechanicus forges advanced steadily through space, sandwiching the Eumenides in the middle.

The senior priest of the Mechanicus was still shouting to the Eumenides battleship on the communication channel, trying to figure out what happened, but soon the communication channel was cut off.

Deathstalkers refuse to communicate with them.

They took the initiative to cut off all room for pulling.

The macro cannons on the lower belly of the battleship were retracted. The Eumenides stopped its orbital bombardment of the ground of the pyramid group, and instead fired hundreds of cannons at once at the two fleets that were outflanking it without saying a word. torpedo.

Some of these torpedoes are pure weapons, while others are boarding torpedoes loaded with heavily armed Space Marines.

The launch trajectory of each torpedo has undergone massive professional and precise calculations. Every operator and officer on the Death Stalker flagship is an experienced sailor. Their naval combat level and operational skills are impeccable, even if they are used against The unpredictable Chaos warships can also handle it with ease.

What's more, there are two scientific research fleets.

Things developed exactly as the officer had calculated.

The Musbelle Mechanicus obviously knows a very small part of the inside story about the Dark Angels. The torpedo salvo launched by the Deathstalker flagship is a huge deterrent to them - this chapter is suspected of being betrayed, and I am afraid only the God of All Machines knows about it. What warheads would they carry on these torpedoes to eliminate former friendly forces.

The fierce offensive forced each cast ship to adjust its hull posture in an attempt to dodge the attack, and to avoid torpedoes from directly bombarding the relatively weak points of the void shield as much as possible.

And this creates a perfect opportunity for the boarding torpedoes aboard the Space Marines.

Generally speaking, the void shield can only intercept high-speed solid and energy attacks, but cannot effectively isolate objects flying at slower speeds. Otherwise, there would not be so many suicide squads rushing into the Titan void shield to cause damage.

Boarding torpedoes dug into the hulls of cast ships one after another like iron nails. Death Stalker warriors wearing bronze power armor, fully armed, broke through the outer defense line of the Adeptus Mechanicus, broke into the cabin, and used their overwhelming force to break through the outer defense line of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The energy went straight to the control center.

Although the Dark Angels are powerful, the Adeptus Mechanicus is not incompetent. Even the scientific research fleet organized for a grave-digging project has a tyrannical combat power that far exceeds that of the average Imperial Navy. A large number of fighter servants quickly gathered in the cabin and started a fierce battle with the Space Marines who came aboard.

But in general, as long as the boarding is successful, the situation is under the control of 3rd Company Commander Gonzalez.

Although currently he only controls half of it.

Because of the boarding torpedoes launched at the two fleets, only the batch targeting the Adeptus Mechanicus' castings successfully hit the target, while the torpedoes launched at the Adeptus Mechanicus' swordfish frigate formation failed without exception.

The huge bodies of these space battleships made of metal are as flexible as fish in the sea. They use dexterity and lively turning maneuvers that are completely unimaginable for the bulky Imperial battleships, seducing the attack torpedoes locked on them into confusion, and then——

It hit the slower Space Marine boarding torpedo.
