Chapter 988 The Arrival of the Silent King

The operation to open up the Nachmond Corridor has entered the countdown, and the Imperial Fleet is now doing its utmost to eliminate potential dangers within the Imperial Holy Territory.

The main targets are the Tau Empire, the Necrons, and the Tyranids, all of which may threaten the Imperial fleet in the future.

However, a large number of them are too large to be completely captured by the Empire alone, so the Imperial Fleet currently only attacks the warships of these races by sweeping away the remaining fleets.

The battle target that Grand Admiral Thrawn is currently carrying out is one of the thousands of battles in the universe.

With Grand Admiral Thrawn's Eclipse-class Star Destroyer "Lord of the Universe" as the center, thousands of Star Destroyers launched an attack on the remaining Tyranid swarm fleet.

The hyperspace engines of Star Wars have not been corroded by the subspace, but the premise is that they do not actively enter the subspace. Once they enter the subspace, even the hyperspace engines will be powerless.

But in the real universe, the Star Wars fleets are like the Necrons. The forces of chaos can do nothing to them, but the premise of everything is not to actively contact the warp.

"The enemy is closing in step with each passing step. We must do our best to protect the Death Star! All personnel must immediately enter combat readiness and prepare to meet the enemy!" Grand Admiral Thrawn shouted loudly with a solemn expression. His majestic voice spread throughout the fleet through the communication channel.

Following Grand Admiral Thrawn's order, hundreds of strangely shaped warships that looked like giant creatures were rapidly approaching the Star Destroyer battle group like a surging tide.

At the same time, on one star destroyer after another, tens of thousands of titanium fighters spewed blue flames and soared into the sky, like a group of ferocious falcons rushing into the vast starry sky.

The Imperial-class Star Destroyer at the forefront of the fleet took the lead in attacking. Its powerful turbolaser cannon instantly spewed out dazzling energy beams. These energy beams flashed across the dark and deep universe like lightning, rushing straight towards the mothership of the Tyranid swarm with the force of thunder.

However, at this critical moment, a strange green light suddenly appeared on the surface of the Tyranid mothership, and an indestructible biological force field was formed in the blink of an eye.

The energy beams fired by the Imperial-class Star Destroyer hit this force field, causing dazzling ripples, but it was still unable to break through this line of defense.

On the other side, seeing that the frontal attack was fruitless, the Victory-class Star Destroyer immediately and flexibly adjusted its tactics and maneuvered quickly, attempting to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's flank.

But the Tyranid swarm was obviously prepared. Countless small biological ships were like hungry wolves that had smelled the scent of prey, and they swooped down on the Victory-class Star Destroyers. The scene was like a swarm of locusts sweeping in to cover the sky and the sun.

"Don't let them get close! Drop the torpedoes quickly and blow all these damn guys away!"

Faced with the aggressive enemy, the fleet commander on the other side gave decisive orders.

After receiving the order, teams of titanium bombers roared towards the biological warships and quickly dropped proton torpedoes.

Unfortunately, before these torpedoes could take effect, the acid cannons equipped on the biological warships opened fire first. Dense acid bombs poured down like raindrops, smashing the titanium bomber formation into pieces. Many fighter planes turned into fireballs in mid-air, dragging long black smoke and falling into the endless galaxy.

At this moment, the Eclipse-class star destroyer's super laser cannon began to charge, and huge energy gathered at the muzzle, emitting dazzling light.

At the same moment, inside the huge Eclipse-class battleship, in the honeycomb-like hangar, TIE fighters, bombers, and interceptors rushed out like a swarm of locusts.

They swooped down towards the small biological ships of the Tyranid Hive Fleet in the distance at lightning speed.

Countless dazzling laser cannon beams and biological missiles intersected and collided with each other, weaving into an impenetrable and deadly fire net, illuminating the entire starry sky brilliantly.

"Report to the Marshal, the second batch of fighter jets have been dispatched as ordered. At present, the number of enemies has been significantly reduced." The excited report of the front-line commander came from the communication channel.

At this time, the Terran fleet was in chaos. Faced with the dense TIE bombers and TIE fighters that were pouring in like a tide, they could only hastily organize a defense line to resist.

At the same time, in the Tyranid Hive Fleet, a huge Hive Mothership suddenly activated its powerful biological cannon.

I saw streams of dark green corrosive acid gushing out like raindrops, mixed with a large number of highly lethal biological missiles, roaring straight towards the Eclipse-class star destroyer.

"Commander! The enemy is concentrating its firepower on attacking our shield! The shield energy is dropping sharply, and currently only 75 percent is left!" The monitor's anxious voice sounded in the command room.

"Continue! Increase energy input immediately and do your best to maintain the shield strength!" Grand Admiral Thrawn looked solemn, but his eyes were still calm and firm, and he issued various response instructions in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the node creatures of the Zerg battleship on the opposite side fell into chaos. The Zerg battleships were separated by a large number of Imperial fighters, and then surrounded and attacked one after another.

"Concentrate your firepower on the mothership!"

The Imperial fleet was already accustomed to facing enemies like the Zerg, and they knew that the only way to defeat them was to attack the mothership.

"Charging is complete, sir!"

As the biological force field completely collapsed, the Eclipse-class Star Destroyer's superlaser cannon fired a fatal blow.

The massive energy beam penetrated the chitinous carapace of the hive ship, setting off a chain reaction.

The tissues inside the hive ship began to disintegrate rapidly, and eventually turned into cosmic dust in a huge explosion.

Without its mothership, the Tyranid Hive Fleet fell into chaos. Small biological ships began to flee in all directions, without a unified command.

At the same time, the Imperial fleet seized the opportunity and launched a full-scale pursuit.

Using their superior firepower, the TIE fighters and bombers destroyed the remaining Tyranid Hive Ships one by one.

Holy Terra

throne world

A hunched figure sneaked into the palace. His metal body quickly passed through the shadows and used his space to fold and fold to avoid the guards' sentries one after another.

“Kaba…”

The golden gate was opened, and when the figure wanted to move forward, he was knocked down by an attack from nowhere.

Immediately, dozens of imperial guards rushed forward, pointing their sharp power spears at the figure in front of them.

"Hmm? What brings you here?"

Yang Cheng looked at the figure in front of him curiously, and then spoke word by word.

"Should I call you the Silent King? Or should I call you Szalak?"
