Chapter 311 Tell the truth, where is your main force?
Boom boom boom——
A series of light spear rays shot out from the Conqueror-class battleship, piercing through the void at high speed and hitting the enemy ship, sparking light on the shield.
The shield began to tremble under this high-energy attack, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.
Almost at the same time, other warships and affiliated battle groups also launched attacks.
The roar of macro cannons followed one after another, hitting the shield fiercely.
Under the cover of these attacks, the torpedoes approached the enemy ship silently and completely defeated the opponent's defense.
The coordinated fire attack of the Redemption Fleet was so precise and fierce that it was like using a chainsaw sword to perform surgery, roughly and accurately disintegrating the opponent.
Conqueror-class battleship.
Inside the bridge.
The atmosphere seemed to be frozen. The fleet commander seemed to be dissatisfied with the situation, and his eyes swept back and forth between the various monitoring devices.
The real-time battle report data was beyond his expectations.
Fleet Commander Voladi was somewhat incredulous:
"How come the strength of this Tau Empire fleet is weaker than the pirate fleet we encountered before? It seems unlikely, right?"
Of course.
The Tau Empire just has too few ships and poor firepower, but it is still much stronger than the pirate fleet in terms of tactical deployment and mobilization.
However.
Such tactical strength is far worse than that in the simulated extreme training.
So much so that he can deal with it instinctively.
It's too strange.
Voladi frowned and found that things were not simple.
He thought:
"Obviously, there may be a conspiracy. The fleet in front of us is just a cover, not the main force of the Tau Empire fleet in the intelligence!"
The reason why Voladi came in person was because the Military Affairs Department received intelligence not long ago, saying that the Tau Empire fleet was detected heading towards the Chaladon area.
There are only a few human civilization planets ahead of the Tau Empire fleet's route.
Moreover, those planets have now been included in the territory of Chaladon.
In other words.
The target of the Tau Empire fleet is very likely to be those human civilization planets.
They want to attack the edge of the territory.
Whether it is a test or a deterrent.
This attempt to break into our territory is a naked provocation, which seriously violates the bottom line of the Military Affairs Department.
Since the restoration of the network, the territory has never been invaded by foreign enemies, and many threats have been destroyed by patrol fleets before reaching the territory.
It does not rise to the point of triggering an invasion alarm.
Now, the Chaladon area has just been incorporated into the territory, and the relevant patrol fleet system has not yet been built, and it is a time of vigorous reconstruction and development.
At this critical moment, if the fleet of the alien cubs of the Tau Empire really enters the territory to attack, it will trigger an invasion alarm that has never been seen in 20 years.
That is a serious accident, and the relevant persons in charge must be held accountable.
They, the commanders of the Military Affairs Department, have no face to see the Savior!
Therefore, the Military Affairs Department attaches great importance to this matter and appoints the commander of the Third Fleet, Voladi, to stop the Tau Empire fleet.
This cautious and hardworking young commander.
Is the best candidate.
He was even given a death order, so that he could not let the fleet of the Tau Empire step into our territory at any cost!
Voladi accepted the task and hurriedly led the fleet to intercept.
However, during the monitoring, the fleet of the Tau Empire temporarily disappeared.
After re-monitoring the other party, it was found that the fleet of the Tau Empire had deviated from the route and was heading for a human planet called Carlo.
What's more troublesome is that Carlo has been blessed by the Savior.
This has brought new changes to the situation. The Redemption Fleet must protect Carlo in any case to prevent the glory of the Savior from being tarnished!
So.
Voladi led the third fleet to ambush in the airspace of Carlo. He was ready to fight an ambush.
Test the true strength of the Tau Empire.
In fact, Voladi's way of fighting is not insidious.
Under various extreme pressure training, the commanders of the Redemption Fleet are more ruthless and cunning than each other in order to survive and win.
This young commander is already considered to be a relatively honest one among them.
Bang——
"Where did the main force of the Tau Empire fleet go?"
Voladi looked out the porthole into outer space, and the artillery counterattack of the Tau Empire fleet hit the void shield, emitting brilliant colors.
What a pity.
Under absolute fire suppression, such a counterattack is so powerless.
In his cognition, the Tau Empire could not send such a fleet to attack our territory.
What's the difference between that and giving it away for free?
Unless their fleet commander is crazy, he will make such a stupid decision.
No doubt.
This race with advanced concealment technology hid their main force and tried to launch a sneak attack!
Seeing that the Tau Empire fleet was about to be destroyed by the cluster attack of artillery fire.
Voladi changed his mind: "We must leave some ships and survivors to find clues about the main force of the Tau Empire..."
He issued a new order.
Let the brothers of the War Angels carry out the boarding operation and must capture the enemy commander alive!
After the order was issued.
The Redemption Fleet immediately changed its combat method, firing a large number of interference macrocannons at the main ship of the Tau Empire, which emitted highly charged ionized deuterium atoms.
This caused the internal system of the enemy's main ship to overload.
Followed by a large number of boarding torpedoes.
These special torpedoes equipped with anti-tracking devices passed through the remaining artillery defense lines of the Tau Empire and hit the hull of the main ship.
after.
The torpedo's melta warhead melted holes one after another in the hull at high temperatures.
Drop the teleport beacon into the enemy ship.
Those spider-like teleportation beacons used leg devices to be firmly nailed to the metal floor.
Its belly slowly glowed with light.
Transmission beacon has been activated.
Buzz~
Several War Angel teams arrived at the enemy's main ship through teleportation.
In an instant.
Bolter rifles roared.
The ugly, human-shaped crow-like beasts that roared towards them fell to the ground one after another under the bombardment of explosive bombs.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
These strong aliens who like to devour the flesh of living creatures cannot withstand armor-piercing blasts at all.
The war angels cooperated with each other to clean up the Kroot who came to stop them, and almost never let go of the trigger.
The shell casings fell to the ground.
They gradually advanced towards the Tau headquarters.
…
Etheric Command, Meditation Room.
Boom!
The ship was shaking violently, the electronic screen in the meditation room was garbled, and almost all the circuits were exploding with sparks.
obviously.
Enemy jamming attacks affected the ship's internal energy systems.
On the seat, the rosary in Commander Ether's hand fell to the ground, losing its original elegant and heavy posture.
Obviously.
Such behavior is for him, a noble ether.
It's very embarrassing.
Ether is naturally authoritative and is the quiet master of strategy and politics.
He is good at using his beauty and inspiring words to inspire the Tau to achieve amazing achievements on the battlefield.
He is proud of his excellence.
Moreover, this ether has never encountered failure since he became a commander in battle.
He can always use clever tactical maneuvers and fire suppression, toying with the enemy.
But today.
Commander Aether was accurately intercepted on his way to attack the Savior's territory.
Even the advantages he was proud of were completely crushed.
Not only were they suppressed by the number of warships and firepower, but they were also suppressed by the opponent's tactics.
Every time he mobilized his firepower, he was perfectly defended. The enemy was like a prophet, leaving him with no ability to fight back!
"There is no doubt that the enemy's fleet commander is a true master of tactics..."
Commander Aether thought so.
He was somewhat relieved.
In order to deal with itself, the Human Empire actually dispatched such a huge main fleet and an extremely powerful master tactician.
He smiled miserably:
"It might not be so bad to lose at the hands of such a being."
Bang bang bang!
There was an explosion outside the meditation room.
The faint sounds of gunfire, the screams of the Kroot, and the roar of chainswords could be heard.
now.
The alert device recovers from interference overload and sounds a piercing alarm.
Commander Aether took a deep breath.
"It seems that the enemy has invaded the headquarters and wants to capture me alive!?"
There was hope again in his eyes.
There was even a hint of expectation.
He might live to see the enemy commander, the one who defeated him.
The Tau Empire believes in the Greater Good and dedicates everything to it.
When those Tau people from other clans are defeated in battle, they will resolutely choose to die with their enemies, or even commit suicide, in order not to become prisoners.
But not ether.
Born noble, they are the ruling class of the Tau Empire, and each one is extremely precious.
Given the chance, the Aethers would choose to survive.
Only in this way can they have the opportunity to continue to contribute to the Greater Good, or in other words, they are the Greater Good itself.
In general.
Based on the attitude of the human empire towards alien races, most of them would not choose to keep prisoners.
However, this time it seems different.
That means that he has a chance to become a prisoner alive, and even more chance to be exchanged for certain benefits.
Return to the Tau Empire.
After thinking about this clearly.
Commander Aether was no longer too flustered, and he sat down on his seat again.
Restored grace as ether.
boom--
The door to the meditation room was destroyed.
In the thick of smoke.
Boom, boom, boom.
Several war angels in red armor walked in, their tall bodies exuding unparalleled intimidation.
"Alien**, you have nowhere to escape..."
The captain raised his hand and pointed at the Ether Commander on the high platform, and the electronic eyepiece emitted a cold red light.
That is the goal of his mission!
On the seat on the high platform, the Ether Commander made a triangle with his hands, looking extremely calm, and even had a smile on his lips.
Buzz——
A deadly blue light flashed.
The guards wearing stealth combat uniforms used the Blade of Honor to launch the attack.
"Enemy attack!"
The captain counterattacked very quickly and dodged the fatal blow with his face turned sideways.
He immediately fought back and grabbed the air beside him with his big hand, as if he was grabbing something.
The next second.
The short power blade sliced across, and blue blood splashed out.
There was a dull sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and a tall guard in combat uniform slowly appeared on the ground, and he was almost cut in half.
Blood flowed on the ground.
Although the captain escaped the attack, the other team members did not react so quickly.
Under the sudden attack, there were varying degrees of damage.
After a successful blow.
The figures of those invisible guards disappeared again, like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow with their fangs.
Hum~
Commander Ether was sitting in his seat with a slight sneer on his lips.
Want to capture a noble ether with just these warriors?
Not that easy!
With the invisible guard hiding, the meditation room returned to silence.
The War Angel Ultimates began to work together to maintain a defensive posture, while the captain remained vigilant at the front of the team.
See this.
Commander Ether remained silent, having already sentenced that guy to death in his heart.
He is familiar with the tactics of the invisible guards.
Their next combined attack will make that guy unable to parry, exposing him to the sharp edge of the Blade of Honor.
Towards death.
Buzz!
In the silence, the attack came again.
However, the captain did not panic at all. A detonating bomb quickly slipped from his hand and exploded the moment it hit the ground.
boom--
Such self-inflicted attacks come suddenly.
A violent shock wave erupted beneath his feet, covering the surrounding area.
All objects within the area were blasted away, and the debris was splashed upwards. Even the Ether Commander on the high platform was affected.
But the flying debris was blocked by the energy shield.
The smoke cleared.
Ahem.
The captain got up. Such a close impact caused some damage to his internal organs.
But to a Space Marine, nothing.
It will be restored soon.
More importantly, his goal was achieved.
in sight.
The blast bomb destroyed the bodies of the invisible guards on the ground, causing the blue blood to splatter everywhere and spread all over the ground.
Some more are floating in the air.
"I saw you..."
The captain's voice was dark and hoarse.
Before he could finish his words, a violent attack broke out.
The War Angels almost instantly poured out all their firepower on the invisible guards who were exposed due to being stained with blood!
After a round of concentrated fire shooting.
Only debris was left on the ground.
Commander Ether's invisible guard was completely wiped out!
In the silent meditation room, there was another dull sound of treading on the ground.
That was the footsteps of the War Angel.
They raised their bolters and slowly moved towards the Aether Commander on the high platform in a fan shape.
"What a wonderful battle..."
Commander Ether applauded and looked at the War Angels calmly: "Congratulations, you successfully captured an Ether."
He maintained an elegant posture, indicating that he would be captured without any resistance.
Then, under the sight of the war angels, he slowly removed the balance staff from his body.
Gently toss it aside.
This is a ceremonial staff carried by the Ethereal clan.
It is not only a symbol of official position and status, but also a powerful weapon, with an energy defense field device and a powerful disintegration field installed inside.
Can easily shatter armor and bones.
Commander Ether clearly knew that he had no way to escape.
There are too many enemy warriors on this ship, and the balance staff cannot have any effect. On the contrary, any resistance may inflame the anger of the enemy warriors.
That will cause more unpredictable consequences and threaten his safety.
As for why those invisible guards were allowed to attack.
Because he didn't want those with lower surnames to live and see the embarrassment of being captured.
After taking off all the equipment that might cause misunderstanding, the Ether Commander walked down the steps gracefully, as if he was just walking to another place.
There is no captive attitude.
If I may, the Ether clan is always so peaceful and elegant.
The War Angels looked at this strange-looking alien.
fell into silence.
"I won't resist."
Commander Ether looked down at the war angels and said softly: "Go, take me to see your commander. He should hope to see someone with..."
The words have not yet finished.
The captain suddenly raised his hand and fired a high-intensity electric current capture net.
The fine net suddenly extended in mid-air and wrapped around the Ether Commander. With a roar, a strong electric current burst out, causing him to let out a shrill howl.
Then he lost his balance and rolled down the steps.
He fell to the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"No, you can't treat an ether like this..."
The Aether Commander groaned.
Then more intense humiliation hit his heart, because under the strong electric current, his body lost control and became incontinent.
The disgusting filth covered the body.
Zila~
The captain pressed the button again to shut up the bumbling alien idiot.
"what……"
He was a little impatient and waved his hand: "Someone will drag it away!"
Another War Angel came up, threw a force field protection device on the Ether Commander with some disgust, and then dragged him out.
that's all.
The etheric commander was paraded through the streets.
Dragging back.
Those Tau warriors felt extremely angry and humiliated when they saw Ether being treated like this.
They frantically tried to come forward to rescue them, but they were unable to break through the War Angels' defense line.
Almost wiped out.
As for the ether commander, facing such a humiliating scene, he was shaking all over and could only close his eyes and pretend to be dead.
The captain led his team and escorted Commander Ether back to the Redemption Fleet.
Submit prisoners to Fleet Admiral Volady.
The rest of the War Angels continued to clean up and capture the Tau warriors on the ship so that subsequent crew members could take over the ship.
soon.
This Tau Empire battleship was completely controlled by the Redemption Fleet.
…
Conqueror-class battleship.
Detention room.
After simple cleaning and disinfection, the Ether Commander was sent into this room.
His mood recovered somewhat and he became peaceful again.
Wardira hurried over to check on the Tau Empire commander, hoping to get important information from him.
He accepted an important mission and assured the Ministry of Military Affairs that he would prevent the invasion of the Tau Empire fleet.
In case the delay continues.
The hidden main fleet of the Tau Empire eluded their detection and invaded the territory itself.
It affected the development plan of Lord Savior.
That’s trouble!
After all, the savior has just announced to the Charadon region and the empire that he will protect this place.
If it is at this critical node, it is a time of celebration.
It was attacked.
How embarrassing that is.
What's more, those bastards at the top of the empire are eager to see something like this happen and spread the word about it.
To attack the prestige of the new original body.
Volady approached the holding room quite seriously: "No matter what, we have to get the key information out of this guy's mouth!"
"Are you the commander who defeated me?"
Commander Ether saw Volady walking in and was shocked because the person in front of him was younger than him!
It seems that this is a rare tactical genius in the human empire.
He thought so.
Aether Commander keeps things classy.
He tried to negotiate terms to see if he could use benefits to convince the other party to let him go.
Even in the Ether Clan, he has a noble status, and he believes that the Ether Clan will be willing to exchange him back.
Even if it means giving up a humble human colony planet.
"Your Excellency, Commander..."
Commander Aether smiled slightly.
Bang!
The next second, he was punched in the eye.
Volady stared at the opponent, angrily:
"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth, where is your main fleet hidden?"
"What main fleet?"
Commander Ether covered his eyes and looked confused:
"Have you misunderstood something? I am the commander-in-chief of the fleet and the main force of this attack!"
Volardi sneered:
"You are pretending, trying to buy time for the main fleet!"
Then, he let the interrogator take over and conducted a severe interrogation of Commander Ether until the other party was willing to reveal the traces of the main fleet...
