Chapter 116: 215
Chapter 215: Mountain Array Enters
Countless light spears and macro cannons smashed into the giant shield of the Phalanx.
The Empire's fleet also recovered from the surging energy tsunami.
"Broadcast to all the Imperial warships in the vicinity. No matter if they are from the fleets of Cadia, Agrippina, the Gothic Sector, or fleets from other territories of the Empire, use the Phalanx to launch a counterattack. Even if you die today, you must die on the way to the attack! For the Emperor!"
The Imperial Navy paused its retreat and began to turn its ships around.
At this time, inside the Phalanx, Captain Galadon did not expect that he would suddenly appear in the center of the battlefield.
The Warp Storm guided by the evil god is such that even a ship the size of the Phalanx can only carry out rough Warp navigation.
The threat identification signal on the auspicious instrument showed that the Chaos fleet was all around the Mountain Array, and the biggest target was the Blackstone Fortress belonging to Abaddon.
Galadon had fought all his life but had never seen an enemy fleet of this size.
A trace of doubt also appeared in his mind. Can the Mountain Array really withstand it?
The great cannons belonging to the Blackstone Fortress have begun to charge, and ancient Eldar technology is directing the energy of the High Heavens.
"Captain! We have arrived in the Cadia system! We are surrounded by enemy warships! The Imperial Navy has suffered heavy losses!"
"Sergeant, report on the repair of the weapon array and fire control system."
"The external weapon array has been completely repaired. The machine spirit is happier than ever! Captain! The Phalanx is now ready for battle!"
At this time, the important control system of the Mountain Phalanx was covered with dense marks of purity as if they were free of charge, and the priests of the Holy Machine Order loudly praised the name of the Holy Machine.
The price that the Holy Mechanical Order charges for selling the Mark of Purity to others is very high, but the cost of producing it themselves is shockingly low, and any devout priest can draw this mark.
At this time, all systems within the Mountain Array were operating at far greater capacity than their original capabilities.
"Sons of Dorn! For the great Primarch and the glory of Terra!"
Countless artillery fire was directed at the Chaos fleet.
A massive amount of artillery fire instantly turned a Chaos warship into pieces.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Watching the Phalanx rampaging in the void, Abaddon kept urging those black engine guys to complete the charging of Blackrock Fortress as soon as possible.
The Phalanx was so large that it had no way of avoiding massive artillery fire and could only rely on heavy armor and void shields to resist.
The SCVs had been on standby in various locations on the Phalanx and were quickly repairing the damaged parts, with smoke rising from their industrial pliers and drills.
And when the main gun of Blackrock Fortress was fully charged.
Like a dazzling beam of light emitted by a decaying star, a huge bright purple beam that gathered a huge amount of subspace energy directly hit the shield of the Phalanx.
One Blackstone Fortress is enough to burn the glass of a planet, two are enough to directly destroy the planet, and three can form a link to detonate the star into a supernova in advance.
Under the impact of massive subspace energy, the shield of the Phalanx was overloaded at an extremely fast speed.
The void shield began to fail, and the engine deck inside the Phalanx was sparking. The explosion and impact caused by the overload made the priests and technicians inside panic. Only the SCVs continued to repair the energy engines and various equipment to prevent them from being completely destroyed.
SCV can repair damaged facilities, but it cannot increase the maximum power of the void shield out of thin air.
The joy of the machine soul also has its limits.
However, SCV can ensure that the shield charging speed of its mountain array will not be slowed down.
The shield capacity of the Shanzhen was high enough, and the machine spirit Dayue provided some extra protection, so the hull of the Shanzhen was not hit directly.
Seeing that the engine in the Mountain Array was overloaded, the Chaos side seemed to feel that their chance had come.
Light spears and macro cannons destroyed the outer armor of the Phalanx.
However, the Chaos side also discovered that the concentrated fire that should have caused a lot of damage did not cause too serious damage.
The Phalanx's armor is actually regenerating itself!
The SCV was desperately repairing the armor everywhere, but the continuous firepower also destroyed some of the repairing SCVs.
"Warmaster! There's something wrong with the armor of that human Phalanx!!"
Abaddon stared at the huge Phalanx through the porthole, and some of the cuts were actually slowly healing.
"How is this possible?! Is this the new technology of the Human Empire?!"
When Abaddon saw this scene, he immediately associated everything that had happened before. Those warships of Cadia that should have been damaged before also used this technology!
And the attack of Be'lakor and the Iron Warriors did not cause no damage! It was repaired!
The situation before him made Abaddon feel a little frightened. If this were true, as long as the other party fought a guerrilla war with him, his fleet might even be consumed! !
However, Abaddon knew that he was not without a chance of winning. The number of the fleet still had a decisive advantage, and the main guns of the Blackstone Fortress could pose enough threat to the enemy!
However, the enemy was unable to break through his fleet and directly attack the Blackstone Fortress.
And it is impossible for the other side to abandon Cardia and engage in a war of attrition with them.
Countless boarding torpedoes were fired at the Phalanx in various places, trying to destroy and seize the Empire's trump card.
However, the Chaos troops realized something was wrong as soon as they boarded the ship. Not only was the fleet fighting behind the mountain formation very fierce, but the measures taken by the anti-Bang State were also enough to make the Chaos troops who landed feel terrified.
The descendants of Dorne fought to the death. They had already set up positions at various important nodes and were waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Each of the Imperial Fist Astartes of the 3rd Company was equipped with a medic behind them to ensure that they could hold their positions.
The Cursed Legion, like ghosts, cast their pent-up rage of revenge upon the landing enemies.
The widow mines carried by the two cavalry legions had already been ambushed everywhere.
Those Chaos traitors who land on the deck may be lucky enough to step on a Widow Mine, but if they are unlucky, they may even encounter a Thor waiting for them in the huge passage.
Every breakthrough in the chaos of a corridor comes at a heavy price.
Galadon looked at the battle report and kept marveling at the magic of SCV. With the existence of these incredible mechanical creations, the combat effectiveness of the Phalanx far exceeded its original level.
But Galadon knew that it was far from time to be happy.
"Sergeant, report, has the void shield been fully charged?"
"Captain! It will take time for the void shield to recharge. Although the plasma engine has not been destroyed and the machine soul has been pleased, the bombardment of the Blackstone Fortress requires the shield to be charged to more than 70% to resist!
The firepower of the enemy's other warships was equally huge.
The weapon system, propulsion system, and internal defense facilities also require a large amount of energy supply. We don't have data on the charging speed of Blackstone Fortress, so I don't know if it will be in time!"
After hearing the report, Galadon also made a decision.
"Broadcast to the surrounding Imperial Navy and retreat to Cadia with the Phalanx. We can rely on Cadia's original ground defense firepower and orbital platform to share the pressure for the Phalanx! We don't need to fight the enemy to the death here!
Ensure our own manpower, the supporting fleet is on the way, we can not only protect Cadia, but also have a chance to annihilate the enemy fleet!"
When the Phalanx left, Gao Yi explained his idea to Galadon. Gao Yi needed Galadon to hold back the Chaos fleet.
Even if Cadia is defended, Brother Dun can continue his Fourteenth Expedition as long as there is time. However, if there is a chance to annihilate this Chaos fleet here, even if Chaos can bless another one of the Four Gods to jointly choose, it is unknown when it will take to create another fleet large enough to pose a threat to the Empire
