Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 152 Interception, Division, and Encirclement
"My brother!" Tiberius was not wearing a helmet at this moment. His pale face showed a calm expression, but one could tell at a glance that he was filled with anger.

Tiberius felt exhausted once again, facing the cheeky Hart Neff. Their previous banter had been a mixed bag, with each side winning some and losing some.

But Tiberius didn't want to retaliate verbally; he really wanted to fight. His power-armored hand clenched into a fist, the sound of terracotta scraping against the metal reaching the ears of everyone present.

呲——

The hatch slowly opened, revealing Iron Glow and the Emperor in the doorway. On the steel floor, intricately engraved with various words of praise, the power boots clattered powerfully with each step.

Everyone's attention was drawn, and they all turned to look. When they saw that it was Tie Hui and the Emperor, they turned around to pay their respects, but the Emperor shook his head to stop them.

Tie Hui walked over and looked at everyone. "Everything needs to be prepared! Once this job is done, we should head back!" He said, pulling over a chair and plopping down in it.

"So, the point now is to end the battle as quickly as possible, right?" Barthol asked, even though the previous plan had already indicated that speed was the priority.

However, he hadn't expected that Tie Hui and the Emperor would come to them again and urge them to speed up. This meant that their original plan had to be scrapped.

Taking a detour is probably out of the question; we have no choice but to press forward.

"Then let the fleet advance with our four Imperial warships as the vanguard. We'll counter-encircle the enemy fleet, cut off their respective routes to retreat, leaving them isolated and vulnerable, and finally annihilate them!" Tiberos quickly devised this plan. While the Shark Legion's tactics also incorporated some traditional tactics of the Raven Guard...

However, after so many years of development, one of their main tactics, the shark pack attack, has long been used to perfection.

Hart Neff, unusually, did not object to the tactic, but instead nodded in agreement. "I agree to the plan. Tibros can be the commander of this operation. Our battle group will be in the center after the vanguard fleet breaks through the enemy lines. We can then divide and encircle them."

Hart Neff and his Ash Claws also frequently cooperated with Tiberius's Shark Chapter in various missions and battles.

They were also aware of each other's tactics. For example, the Ash Claws were a convenient warband, which made it difficult for them to resupply, leading them to frequently raid Imperial merchant ships and alien civilization fleets.

Furthermore, as offspring of the Dark Ravens, they are well-versed in the tactic of roaming and hiding.

Therefore, they are very good at infiltrating, dividing, and encircling in various places.

But this also came in handy at this moment, and one of the tactics that Tiberius's Shark Legion excels at is swarming shark attacks!

In the current situation, he can act as the overall coordinator and commander. The various changes in direction and movement will be handled by Hart Neff and his team.

The details of the combat against the aliens were handled by Malcardo and Bartholomew.

Barthalor and his Death Ghost Chapter also belong to the Ravenguard, which allows them to better cooperate with each other.

In addition, the Black Templars' extensive experience accumulated from long-term battles against aliens greatly increases the probability of success for this mission.

"Alright, the reconnaissance ship has transmitted back the star system map for our next battle." He then uploaded the data he had on his hand to the command terminal.

As the password was entered, the holographic image shifted, revealing a star map. The blue light reflected on everyone's faces, undulating slowly like facing an ocean under dim lighting. "According to reconnaissance, this is the enemy's final command post!" Tie Hui said, pointing to a planet.

……

All warships quickly started up, and the two Luna-class cruisers and two combat barges slowly separated and sailed in four directions.

Behind them, the massive fleet began to split up according to the previously agreed plan, following behind the four warships.

If someone were to obtain all the information about the entire battlefield at this moment and observe it from a third-party perspective, they would find that these four fleets seemed to form an enormous claw, reaching out to grab the star system ahead.

And judging from its power, it seemed capable of annihilating that entire star system!
boom--

At the edge of a galaxy, an outpost, the moment it sounded the alarm, was struck by a beam of light that traversed thousands of miles, shattering it into a fireball and sending fragments flying into the depths of space.

The next second, lights flashed across almost every part of the galaxy, and as the lights disappeared, warships of different styles appeared in their places.

The moment these warships appeared, the gun barrels on their hulls quickly emerged from their protective armor, emitting a glow from which energy began to gather.

For close-range targets, the Hongpao quickly adjusted its muzzle direction, spewing out massive flames and smoke. A single, detonated shot swiftly into a 5-kilometer-long Warner warship, causing a massive secondary explosion that snapped the ship in two, the hull lurching upwards from the blast.

What followed was inevitably countless tiny fragments, which were sprayed out from the gap in the fractured explosion like water jets.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that among the small fragments spewed out, apart from most of the warship's internal debris and various items, the majority are soldiers from the Warner civilization.

"The Third Fleet need not hesitate to plunge straight into the battlefield!" Tiberius commanded from his post, calmly processing the combat intelligence coming from all sides.

Iron Glory and the Emperor watched the scene unfold quietly. Iron Glory, in particular, was intently studying Tiberius's tactical arrangements and strategic thinking regarding interstellar warfare.

This is the most important thing for him in the future!
With Tiberius's order, one of the four fleets immediately changed direction, activated its shields, and charged straight towards the center of the battlefield.

They even ignored the concentrated fire from the Warner civilization's warships.

"Second Fleet, conduct harassment and divide the fleet to cover the Third Fleet's infiltration!" Tiberos immediately issued the response order upon seeing the Third Fleet begin to be attacked.

"The Third Fleet is moving at full speed and drawing enemy fire to the maximum extent possible."

Now, all the Astartes in these four fleets have been dispersed. Even down to each ship, there is only one Astarte.

In this war, Astartes was no longer positioned as an entity that could execute precise decapitation strikes.
