Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 28 The Lament of the Pure Fire
With the two Glory Queen-class battleships [Endurance] and [Vengeful Spirit] as the core, the betrayers formulated a complete counterattack plan against the Gothic fleet.

The Chaos Fleet took full advantage of its numerical superiority.

More than two hundred Chaos warships opened fire at the same time, and the surging gunfire instantly wiped out the advantage established by the Gothic fleet.

Even though every battleship in the Gothic fleet is an elite of the empire, in brutal naval battles, the number and firepower of the battleships are the key to shaking the balance of war.

The Gothic Fleet may be able to counter the Chaos Fleet in a short time with its tactical advantages!But once the battle line is lengthened, the shortcomings of the insufficient number of loyalist battleships will be infinitely magnified.

The Gothic Fleet alone cannot win this war!The only hope of the loyalists is that the Primarch can severely damage the Chaos Warmaster in Blackstone Fortress.

The Chaos Warmaster is the core of the entire Black Legion. Once Abaddon is severely damaged, the Black Legion will inevitably transfer the Warmaster to the Eye of Terror as quickly as possible.

After the Black Legion evacuates, the remaining betrayers have nothing to fear!
Carrying the hopes of all loyalists, the Primarch led thirty Custodes, six companies of Astartes, and three Astra Militarum regiments, and launched a massive gang-hopping attack on the Blackstone Fortress.

An operation of this scale cannot escape the attention of the Chaos Fleet.

Regarding the ancient but efficient tactic of [Gang Jumping], the best solution is to kill the enemy on the way before they complete the Gang Jumping!
Several small destroyers quietly broke away from the Chaos Fleet!The despicable traitors tried to bypass the defenses of the Gothic fleet and directly attack the loyalists who were performing gang jumping.

Predictably, the betrayer's attempt failed without a doubt.

From the moment the destroyers broke away from the Chaos Fleet, they were firmly locked by the Gothic Fleet's divination array!

The artillery fire carrying the Emperor's wrath surges towards the traitors!Several small destroyers didn't even have room to resist, and they directly disintegrated into pieces under the gunfire.

Under the cover of the Gothic Fleet's artillery fire, the Chaos Fleet could not find any chance to approach the Primarch's team.

As a close confidant of Abaddon, Igorthymer knows the importance of Blackstone Fortress!No matter what the cost, he would never allow his Primarch to interfere with the plans of the Chaos Warmaster.

After careful consideration, the commander of the black fleet decided to activate the main gun of the battleship [Spirit of Vengeance].

As the symbol of the No. 16 Legion and the ship of Warmaster Horus, the original design concept of the Vengeful Spirit was to use its powerful firepower to determine the outcome of a war.

Almost all of the various ship-borne weapons carried on the Vengeful Spirit have been upgraded and modified by the Mechanicus!The main gun of the battleship of the Vengeful Spirit is a precious legacy from the [Golden Age].

Theoretically, with sufficient energy, the power of this main gun can even penetrate a planet.

The battleship's main guns of the Vengeful Spirit begin to charge!Enough energy to drive the ion reactor for decades was injected into the main gun's energy storage tank in just a few minutes.

This blow almost drained all the energy of this Glory Queen-class battleship!

Light filled with filthy aura overflowed from the main gun of the [Vengeful Spirit].After a brief stagnation, this terrifying blow that condensed the blessings of the gods pierced the space!With suffocating fluctuations, it rushed towards the airborne capsule where the original body was located.

This cannon is powerful enough to sink a continent!Even the powerful Emperor's son has absolutely no chance of surviving in the face of such terrifying power.

Igosemo showed a vicious smile.

The [Tyrant-class] heavy battlecruiser closest to the original body was the first to detect the betrayer's vicious intentions.The ancient empire has been watching in darkness for thousands of years. Thanks to the gift of the great God-Emperor, a holy son of the Emperor has returned to the empire.

Under the leadership of a Primarch, the Imperium will finally return to its glory during the Great Crusade!Before that era of reason and beauty came, every loyalist would die generously for the Primarch.

The captain of the [Tyrant Class] did not hesitate too much and directly drove the several-kilometer-long heavy battlecruiser to block the advance trajectory of the Chaos main gun.

This huge battleship gave up the attack and connected all the energy produced by the ion reactor to the void shield generator.

The massive amount of energy put this huge machine into an overload state, and the void shield inspired by this reached an unprecedented defensive strength.

At this moment, everything is silent!

The battleship's main cannon, which gathered the blessings of the gods, bombarded the void shield, and the energy compressed to the extreme even turned into a viscous liquid.

Almost instantly, this terrifying blow overloaded the void shield of the [Tyrant Class] battleship!The void shield generator located in the middle of the battleship made a harsh noise, and then was completely destroyed in the dazzling sparks.

The void shield was offline, but this loyal battleship still did not retreat even a moment.

The hull made of high-performance alloy slowly melted away, and the explosion of the fuel tank and weapons depot caused the entire battleship to be submerged in a sea of ​​fire!This battleship, which carries the glory of the Gothic fleet, is doomed to destruction.

But no one is afraid of impending death!From the captain to the bottom crew, the more than [-] naval soldiers on the battleship never wavered.

"With my belief, the Emperor's light will eventually shine to the farthest star! For the Emperor, for the Gothic Fleet..."

The low-frequency broadcast full of determination and faith echoed in this dark space. Even the betrayer's battleship could clearly receive these words of determination...

The moment the broadcast sounded, the original body had already found the name of the battleship from his memory.

【Pure Fire】!A title derived from ancient Terran mythology.

History is always surprisingly similar!
Even though the arrival of the original body brought many changes to this dark galaxy, the bravery and loyalty engraved in the hearts of the Imperial warriors... have never changed at all.

The Primarch sitting in the drop cabin watched the fall of the [Pure Fire]!The blazing red flames reflected in the golden pupils of the original body, reflecting a bright and blazing anger.

The Primarch would remember the sacrifices of the Imperium's heroes, and then... redouble those sacrifices to reclaim them from the Traitors and Chaos.

After all, the betrayers failed to stop the primarch's gang-hopping! !

The orbital drop pods full of Astartes and Imperial Guards fell like meteors, and the gang-hopping ships and boarding torpedoes controlled by mortal warriors also arrived at the outer platform of the Blackstone Fortress at the same time.

　Thanks to [Mengjing Little Boss] for the reward of 3000 starting coins.
