Chapter 246 Scharnhorst’s Elegy

"Captain Hoffman, the advance team is under your command."

Admiral Speyer said looking at the officer in navy uniform in front of him.

"Understood! Lord Admiral!"

Hoffmann performed an eagle salute and then returned to his battleship, the Scharnhorst.

"Are you ready? Everyone"

Hoffman stood on the bridge and began to command. Six imperial warships slowly passed through the star gate.

"Everything is normal, Chief Hoffman."

Hood Monarch and Scharnhorst were moving faster, while four other frigates covered the battleships' sides.

"Report Status"

"Everything is normal, sir"

“It’s so quiet, so quiet it’s a bit scary”

Hoffman looked at everything around him. Through the glass in the bridge control room, the surroundings were dark, with no ambush and no trace of the enemy.

"What's the situation? Send out detectors and prepare..."

"boom!"

Just when Hoffman ordered, a blue light suddenly flew from a distance, and a Cobra destroyer was hit before it even had time to react.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the Cobra destroyer turned into sparks in the galaxy.

"The enemy is coming! Prepare to fight!"

After determining the general location of the enemy, Hoffman quickly began to order, and another Cobra destroyer was arranged to go back and report that they were going to hold the enemy here.

"Target found! Out of our range!"

"Prepare melta torpedoes!"

Another blue beam struck, this time the target was the Cobra destroyer that was returning to report.

"boom!"

The terrifying power burned the second half of the battleship black, and countless crew members struggled in the fire and vacuum.

"Fight back!"

Several tens of meters long melt torpedoes were launched. As the torpedoes were launched, the enemies in the darkness slowly emerged.

Hundreds of thousands of silver battleships appeared in front of them. Among the battleships was a circular spaceship, and the blue beam of light shot out from the circular spacecraft.

"This is a conspiracy. Fortunately, the large forces did not come."

"Sir, look! The King Hood!"

Next to the Scharnhorst, the King Hood's engine had been destroyed, and the King Hood had lost its ability to resist.

What awaits the King of Hood next may be tricks from the enemy, but these silicon-based creatures will never understand a human emotion, courage.

"Hoffman, the intelligence we have here has been transmitted, but we probably won't be able to leave. I will wait for the enemy to relax their vigilance and kill the enemy who is close to me by self-destruction."

"I know, I hope you return to the side of the Golden Throne"

"Understood, same as you, Captain Hoffman"

As the communication channels fell silent, Hoffman made a bold decision.

Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Beta Empire warships surrounding him, Hoffman smiled indifferently. From the moment he joined the Imperial Navy, he had been prepared to die.

"Our journey ends here, everyone."

Hoffman sighed, and then opened the ship-wide communication channel.

"Attention all, I am the captain of the battleship Scharnhorst, Rear Admiral Hoffmann. I regret to inform you that this ship is about to sink here. I have activated the safety measures of all rescue cabins. You can escape as soon as possible. , and I, as a captain at the helm, I will live and die with this ship."

Hoffman sighed, finally picked up the mirror next to him, adjusted his makeup, and finally hung the power sword that symbolized his identity on his waist.

"Come on, everyone, I want to live or die with this ship."

Hoffman glanced at the people in the command room and then spoke slowly.

"You are still young, there is no need..."

"Sir, with all due respect, you alone cannot sail this ship. You lack a helmsman."

A young man wearing a navy uniform stood up and said with a smile.

"You still need a surveyor"

"You still need an adjutant"

"We still need a good adjutant"

........................

One voice after another sounded on the bridge, and finally it was another old man, the deputy captain who had fought alongside him many times.

"It would be an honor to fight with you, Captain."

Looking at the deputy captain in front of him, Hoffman nodded, and then heard intermittent messages from the communicator.

"Asshole! Old man! Don't even think about trying to die alone! The Hongpao family refused to accept the retreat order!"

"The Lightspear family refuses the order to retreat! Let us live and die together! Captain!"

"The engines are ready! At your command Captain!"

"The Emperor will protect us. We will sacrifice to prove our duty as the people of the Empire. We refuse the order to retreat."

One voice after another came to Hoffman's side, and countless people looked at him expectantly.

"Okay, everyone, let's work together one last time."

Hoffman quickly returned to his original state, and then began to issue orders.

"Charge the void shield at full strength! Launch the engines to the limit! All priests move into designated positions! Abandon light spear weapons! All macrocannon shells are loaded for the last time!"

After receiving the order, everyone quickly began to take action, and the battleship also began to operate.

"What's going on with carbon-based organisms? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Looking at the warships that were turning around, these Beta warships began to approach slowly. To them, the current human warships were nothing more than a mantis trying to act as a chariot.

"Energy has been imported! The engine is ready!"

As the order was conveyed, Hoffman personally acted as the helmsman and aimed the heavy ramming angle at the enemy warship closest to him.

"With my faith, the Emperor's light will shine to the farthest stars!

With my responsibility, the galaxy and the world will belong to the righteous!

With my actions, the Imperial Navy will win glory, and its reputation will be remembered by Holy Terra! "

Hoffman's voice sounded throughout the ship, and their final charge was next.

"Accelerate the engines! Shield deploy!"

The void shield of the first battleship that was attacked was destroyed before it even had time to deploy. However, Hoffman did not make such a mistake this time and deployed his own battleship's void shield early.

"Fire"

Countless blue beams of light flew towards the Scharnhorst, and the Hood Monarch in the distance also spotted the Scharnhorst flying towards the enemy warships.

"Hoffman, you bastard! Launch a vortex torpedo! Draw the enemy's fire towards us!"

At this moment, the imperial warship has approached an enemy warship.

"Fighters of the Emperor, we return our souls to the Golden Throne!!! And we will bring the enemy's most blasphemous warships to the Golden Throne to be judged!!!"

"Death to the Emperor!! How dare you seek peace!!"

As the war cry rang out, the heavy collision horns exploded several Beta warships blocking the way. Then as the engines accelerated, more and more warships were hit by the Scharnhorst.

"Macrocannon salvo!"

The Beta battleships surrounding the battleship were destroyed by macro cannons, and the void shield was about to be overloaded at this moment.

"Forward! For the Empire! For the Emperor! Live up to the name of the Imperial Navy! Towards the dark depths of the galaxy! Forward! Forward!"
