Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

"These damned heretics! How dare they tease us like this? They're simply treating us like hounds to be toyed with at will!"

Tiberus, who was in the bridge of the battle barge, was staring at the augury array in front of him with an angry face. His face, which was already red with anger, was now like a ripe apple, and his eyes were filled with a heart-pounding blood red. This was obviously an ominous sign that Tiberus was about to completely lose his mind.

It was no wonder that Tiberus was so furious. Three long hours had passed since the Imperial Combined Fleet entered the Karen system.

However, in just three hours, this once majestic and powerful fleet suffered unprecedented damage.

When they set out from the capital of Provence, the mighty 125 warships covered the sky and the sun, but now, after a fierce battle with the Star Navy fleet, only 70 warships are still struggling to hold on.

Faced with such a tragic battle, the Imperial Combined Fleet suffered huge losses, but what was incredible was that they failed to successfully destroy even a single warship of the Star Navy Fleet.

This cruel reality was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the proud and complacent Tiberius, causing the anger deep in his heart to burn even more fiercely, and his rational defenses to collapse bit by bit.

Tiberus was not completely helpless against the Star Navy's elusive, flexible and changeable cruising combat mode.

He racked his brains to come up with many countermeasures, such as trying to send part of the troops to attack the various planets in the Karen galaxy separately in order to disrupt the opponent's strategic deployment.

Or they could adopt the tactic of dispersing troops and encircling the enemy from all sides, in an attempt to trap the Star Navy fleet in the encirclement in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, all these carefully planned strategies ultimately ended in failure without exception, and were unable to pose any substantial threat to the Star Navy fleet.

Tiberus wanted to divide his forces to attack the three life planets in the Karen galaxy, but because these three planets were protected by large void shields, the battleships' attacks were ineffective.

Tiberus even sent a company of Space Marines to the planet Karen III to wipe out the heretics.

As a result, a company of Space Marines that entered the planet Karen III lost more than 30 people in just one attack on the heretic's defense position, which made Tiberus very sad.

Tiberus did not bring the Astra Militarum with him when he attacked the Karen Galaxy this time. The Carcharhinus Legion was used to working alone and could not cooperate with the Astra Militarum in combat.

Tiberus also looked down on the weak Astra Militarum, so naturally he would not bring the Astra Militarum to fight together.

When Tiberus attacked the Karen system this time, even the Imperial Navy did not want to bring it along, and was ready to attack the Karen system alone with the Carcharon Regiment.

However, due to the persuasion of Bron and Cawl's clone, he reluctantly brought the Imperial Navy along.

They wanted to divide their forces to encircle the Star Navy Fleet, but due to the speed of the warships in the Imperial Navy Fleet, they were unable to catch up with the Star Navy warships and could only follow behind the Star Navy Fleet from a distance.

Whenever an Imperial warship was unable to keep up with the main force due to its speed, Tulas would teleport all the warships across dimensions and come behind the lone Imperial warship.

A round of fire from more than 20 warships of the Star Navy Fleet directly caused the void shield engine of one of the Empire's warships to overload and be destroyed.

It could not catch up with the Star Navy warships in speed, nor could it match them in terms of firepower output. When facing the attack of the Star Navy fleet, the Imperial United Fleet could only say GG and return to the Golden Throne.

"Get my personal assault boat ready for me. I want to go boarding right away."

Tiberus shouted orders to the mortal captain.

Faced with such a difficult situation, the last solution that Tiberus could think of was to board the enemy himself, driving the fastest assault boat directly into the Star Navy fleet and beheading the commander of the Star Navy fleet.

Only by killing those heretic commanders will the enemy fleet fall into chaos and the Imperial Combined Fleet will have a chance to win.

"Lord Tiberus, absolutely not! Even our fastest assault boats can't catch up to those heretics.

It's far too dangerous for you to conduct a boarding operation alone. This isn't what a commander should do. Even if we want to board the enemy, we should be the ones to do it."

The captains, think tanks and priests of the Carcharodon Regiment were all shocked when they heard Tiberus' decision.

"Lord Tiberus, I'll go! You must continue to command the fleet. If you go to engage in boarding operations, the entire fleet will fall into greater trouble."

"Lord Tiberus..."

Everyone rushed forward to grab Tiberus and persuaded him to give up this dangerous idea.

Although the Sharknado Regiment had an extremely fast assault boat captured from the enemy, this assault boat could only carry one person.

Letting the Chapter Master personally conduct boarding operations was something that the entire Carcharodon Chapter could not accept, especially if Tiberus suffered even a slight loss, the entire combined fleet would be thrown into chaos.

"If we don't launch a boarding operation now, our entire fleet will be wiped out by those heretics, unless we leave this system in disgrace."

Tiberus pointed angrily at the augury array in front of him and the scene on the battle display screen, allowing these company commanders and think tanks to clearly see the environment they were in.

"Lord Tiberus, we simply don't want you to board alone. Let me go in your place! As soon as I enter those heretic warships, I'll immediately install the teleportation beacon.

It allows you to take the elite battle brothers in your regiment and conduct boarding and decapitation operations."

The company commander began to persuade them.

"Lord Tiberus, let me go in your place!"

"Lord Tiberus..."

The company commanders and combat priests began to argue, each thinking that they were the most suitable to carry out the boarding mission.

"Let me go! I'm stronger than any of you, so I'm the most suitable person to carry out the boarding mission."

The think tank spoke up to interrupt the debate.

"Lord Nophis, you cannot go. You are the last guarantee for our chapter, you cannot take any risks."

When everyone saw that the think tank had also joined in, they quickly spoke up to stop Nophis's idea.
