Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

Fissures flickered in the galaxy, and another battleship formation jumped into the galaxy to participate in the fleet battle.

Abaddon was no longer surprised when he saw this scene. The only thing he was puzzled about was that his gang lost contact too quickly.

"Have you lost contact with your people?" Abaddon asked Typhonse.

Typhons was organizing manpower to repair the holes at this time, and did not pay attention to the jump gang he sent out. When he heard Abaddon's inquiry, he tried to contact them, and then he realized that the jump gang had lost contact a long time ago.

As per standard combat procedure, the last thing they reported was: We are trying to break the door.

Typhons informed Abaddon of the situation and then asked him about the situation there.

"The last report I received was..." Abaddon imitated, "We are fighting steel!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Typhons was looking forward to learning some important information, but Abaddon's answer disappointed him.

Abaddon had nothing to say, and he was dissatisfied with his subordinate's incomprehensible answers. It's a pity that no video images were sent back, otherwise it would have been clearer what was inside the enemy ship.

From a strategic point of view, this gang-hopping was an extreme failure. The people sent out died too quickly, the reports were unclear, and no useful information was obtained at all.

"Evacuate." Abaddon glanced at the galaxy where enemy ships were pouring out of the porthole. "We have to go back and summarize the existing information. We can no longer act recklessly."

Typhons nodded helplessly in approval.

"But before leaving, I have to do one thing to ensure that the Vengeful Spirit can be evacuated." Abaddon stood up from the throne and sent a series of secret orders to one of his lieutenants.

After receiving the secret order, the adjutant immediately went to the torpedo launcher on the starboard side of the Vengeful Spirit.

…

The Chaos fleet began to withdraw towards the nearest Mandeville Point, with the most seriously injured Vengeful Spirit sailing slowly at the end of the fleet.

This is not because the Vengeful Spirit wants to stay behind, it's just because its propulsion device was damaged before and it can't run fast.

Adam, who witnessed the enemy's evacuation, immediately thought about it. The auxiliary thinking device linked to his brain helped him quickly draw an inference: If he pursues the enemy at this time, the probability of sinking the Vengeful Spirit is 85%.

"The whole ship is in pursuit."

Adam's order spread throughout the entire fleet in an instant, and the Tyron Navy in the Anlai system immediately advanced at full speed to pursue the Vengeful Spirit.

During the pursuit, a shining torpedo was fired from the still intact starboard front end of the Vengeful Spirit.

Adam's eyes fell on the torpedo, and the screen was zoomed out. He could clearly see that it was a black torpedo, which completely did not match the torpedo model used by the enemy stored in the database.

"Strong subspace reaction detected!" the crew member responsible for monitoring the battlefield environment suddenly reported.

The torpedo in Adam's sight was marked with a subspace energy reading, which was ridiculously high and was still rising.

The subspace energy reading of this torpedo is actually one-tenth of the Cadian rift.

"Try to intercept it," Adam ordered calmly.

Then another crew member reported the latest situation: "Report! The dimension engine suddenly started charging!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the status of the dimension engine was displayed in front of Adam.

A series of commands were written on the controller of the Dimension Engine: Extremely high subspace energy readings were detected, and the defense protocol was activated.

As the captain, Adam looked confused. He had no idea what this so-called defense agreement was. There was no such agreement among the tens of thousands of agreements he had read during naval training.

The torpedo quickly flew near the Lord of Tyrone, and the subspace energy readings increased exponentially. A purple vortex appeared in front of the battleship, and it continued to expand and move.

This was the last picture Adam saw. The next second, the Lord of Tyrone and other nearby battleships appeared in the dimensional space.

"Why start the dimension engine? We can destroy the enemy's battleship in no time!"

"How is this going?"

"Have you received the captain's order? Do you know that you will be punished if you start the dimension engine and escape without authorization?"

"..."

The crew began to accuse and question those who ran the dimensional engine.

But Adam knew that the people in charge of the dimension engine did not care about this matter, because he did not believe that the crew of the Lord of Tyrone battleship would be unprofessional enough to activate the dimension engine without receiving an order.

"I want to read the defense protocol," Adam ordered.

A document was immediately spread out in front of Adam.

This is a confidentiality level 4 document that can only be read by the captain.

The rough meaning is that when extremely high subspace energy readings are detected, the battleship will activate the dimension engine. This is a protocol that is implanted into the battleship's main control program and has the highest priority.

"The Anlai galaxy defense battle was very successful. Thank you for your hard work." Adam closed the agreement page. "After I go back, I will write a report on the dimension engine self-starting incident and submit it to the Navy. This matter has nothing to do with other people on the ship. not related."

…

At the same time in the subspace.

"Is there a whirlpool torpedo on your battleship?" A dull and angry questioning voice came from Typhons' armor, "Why didn't you use it before!"

As a person who fought in various parts of the galaxy ten thousand years ago, Typhons knew nothing about the vortex torpedoes and other vortex weapons based on the same principle, although the Terminus had already jumped into the subspace when the vortex torpedoes were activated. , but he was able to determine from the fragments of messages sent by other battleships that Abaddon used vortex torpedoes.

As the name suggests, the vortex torpedo is a weapon that creates a vortex on the battlefield. This vortex will send anything that cannot escape in time into the subspace. To put it less strictly, this weapon has the same principle as the void shield.

A single vortex torpedo is enough to destroy any warship, but the vortex it creates on the battlefield is uncontrollable. It may move forward in the direction of the enemy, or it may suddenly change direction and run towards your own people.

"You don't think that the vortex torpedo is the kind of weapon that can be obtained casually, do you? I will only use it in times of crisis." Abaddon disagreed with Typhons's question.

Typhons wanted to continue to express his dissatisfaction, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words. In the end, he just asked a gentle question: "How many vortex torpedoes do you have?"

"Gone."

"Then it seems that we have no ability to continue fighting." Typhons immediately picked up the communicator and ordered the Terminus: "Disengage from the fleet and return!"

Abaddon was silent for two seconds, and after thinking about it, he made a decision: "There is one more, this one is for you, you can use it."

Typhons also changed his words on the communicator: "We will continue to follow the Warmaster until victory!"
