Warhammer 40K in a box

Chapter 143 Space Naval Battle
Accompanied by several explosions, multiple boarding torpedoes crashed into various locations of the starport.

Although not many boarding torpedoes were used to successfully invade the starport, this Khorne warband still successfully invaded the starport.

"Send the Embers Knight back to defend! Notify the Blood Angels and ask them to help us defend the starport!" Chen Xi was now fully armed, holding his holy sword and leading a group of combat nuns on the orbital elevator to the starport.

But the orbital elevator takes time to rise, and Chen Xi can only command the battle as best as possible through the communication channel.

Although theoretically as the planetary governor he does not need to draw his sword and go to the front line to start the fight, he is not one of those useless people who can only hide in the safety of the fortress. It is not like he has not drawn his sword and gone to the front line to start the fight before.

"Chen Xi, Titus's team and I are already in position." Guterres' communication came, informing Chen Xi of some pretty good news.

As soon as he received the report of the Chaos invasion, Guterres took his kill team and Titus team on a Thunderhawk transport plane, ready to go to the starport for support.

After all, the entire starport is like a large space city. Even if some areas are invaded by chaos, not all places will fall at once.

What's more, Olivia's Crusaders and a regiment of defense forces are stationed in the star port, so it is not certain who will win or lose if a real fight breaks out.

The reason why Chen Xi sent the Embers Knights back to defend and asked for help from the Blood Angels was simply to reduce the casualties of the mortal troops and alleviate the damage caused to the starport by these Chaos Cans.

Although in GW's novels, cans always die in various inexplicable ways, in the real world, cans are cans, and their power is unquestionable.

Even if they are just ordinary nameless Chaos warbands without many blessings, they can still bring cruel and bloody killings when facing mortal troops.

Even in a space boarding battle, which could completely neutralize the mobility advantage of a canned cargo, an Astartes could still cause brutal slaughter among mortal armies.

A casualty ratio of 1:100 is a loss that would make ordinary troops laugh even in their dreams.

Normally, if it were a positional battle, 300 Astra Militarum soldiers might be able to incur the casualties of one Astartes.

This casualty ratio will be reduced in space boarding battles, but it is only relative.

Therefore, in order to reduce casualties and avoid wasting all the wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty, Chen Xi still felt that heroes should be allowed to fight heroes, and good men should fight good men, and let the Astartes deal with the Space Marines.

Mephisto Station had already landed at the starport, and behind him were ten Blood Angels still wearing the black Death Company livery and five Crimson Paladins wearing red power armor, holding power swords and storm shields.

Although these Death Company battle-brothers had been awakened from the Black Rage, they had not had time to change their liveries.

Moreover, Mephisto could feel that the black rage was still flowing in their veins. Once they lost their minds in battle, they would still fall into the black rage.

"Brothers, although you have been awakened, you are still at risk of falling into the Black Rage, and the risk is higher than that of ordinary battle brothers, so you must control your emotions during battle!" Mephisto reminded everyone.

At this time, Lematus, who led another Death Company, was doing the same thing as Mephisto. These battle brothers were awakened from the Black Rage with great difficulty, and they were unwilling to watch them sink into the Black Rage again.

Even if they could be awakened again, the children of Sanguinius should not and must not indulge in the bloodthirst and the black rage.

"Death Company maneuver toward the C-7 maintenance pipeline, and Crimson Paladins prepare to receive the guests." Mephisto's order was conveyed, and the Blood Angels immediately began to act.

Inside the helmets they wore, the green dot representing the Blood Angels' blood and tears symbol on the tactical map was moving rapidly.

Correspondingly, several red dots representing enemies are approaching them rapidly.

When the Champion of this Khorne Warband split open a blast door with his Khorne Axe, he was greeted by an elaborate trap.

The moment the Crimson Paladin's power sword and battle axe collided, Death Company warriors with ignited jet packs fell from the sky, and two power axes chopped down on their heads!

Hargon remained calm in the face of danger. He used the Axe of Khorne to knock away the power sword of the Crimson Paladin. At the same time, he dodged one of the power axes by turning sideways and raised the axe in his hand, intending to split the Death Company soldier coming towards him to the west in half from the crotch.

This might be useful for ordinary Space Marines, but it is far from enough for the Death Company warriors who inherited some of the power and combat experience of the Primarch Sanguinius from the Black Fury.

The opponent simply stepped on the shoulder armor of the Crimson Paladin deftly, and immediately changed the direction of his falling body. While dodging the attack of Khorne's battle axe, he rolled his body sideways, and the power axe chopped towards Hargun again.

"Blood Angels? My Lord will surely love your heads! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skulls to the Skull Throne!" The Khorne War Gang issued a war cry, and more Chaos Space Marines rushed towards the Blood Angels.

In space, the battle between five Imperial warships and two Chaos warships was nearing its end.

The macrocannon arrays of the four cruisers continuously spewed out bright red spots of light, smashing into the two Chaos warships, causing bursts of explosions on the two warships.

At this time, the void shields of the two Chaos warships had already been offline. Although Tonya's Forge was only a light cruiser and could not compare with the other four cruisers in terms of firepower, the technology and ruthlessness of the Mechanicus allowed this cruiser to play a more crucial role.

Through the Mechanicus's waste code attack, the Forge Ship paralyzed the void shield systems of the two Chaos warships, and there was no possibility of recovery, at least in a short period of time.

This immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. Although the five warships could sink the two Chaos warships with concentrated fire, in this situation where their side had shields and advantages in firepower and numbers, concentrating fire on two Chaos warships that didn't even have shields would undoubtedly greatly speed up the battle process and bring victory sooner.

Just when the bombardment of macro cannons and light spears had completely turned one of the Chaos warships into a stick and the other Chaos warship was also on fire, the 32nd Forge finally arrived, and her arrival also announced that this space naval battle had entered garbage time.

However, 32 obviously would not let this battle end so easily. After issuing a firing warning to friendly forces and asking them to move out of range, 32 fired the Nova Cannon on its own forge ship, completely destroying the two Chaos warships.
