Chapter 145 Hecate of the Underworld

Abaddon never imagined it would be like this; he would never use the Black Legion to wage a war of attrition against the Empire.

He had joined the Primarch in betraying the False Emperor, but they used him and the Black Legion as cannon fodder!

They were only concerned with preserving their own strength and lied to all the Chaos factions that participated in the war!

He was left with only one path: either conquer Cadia or die in Cadia.

However, Moriana brought him a ship that shouldn't exist here, which opened up a new path for him.

"Large-scale subspace fluctuations detected! The Black Fleet is here!"

In the depths of that endless darkness, a massive black fleet, like a ghost, slowly rose from the warp.

Their appearance was not silent; the intense, unmistakable subspace fluctuations, like a surging, turbulent wave, were instantly detected by the vigilant Imperial Navy.

The first to break free of warp was the terrifying Blackrock Fortress—the Eternal Will.

It resembles a colossal beast symbolizing death, its terrifying, chaotic eight-pointed star shape chilling all who behold it.

With a deep rumble, its massive cannon began to frantically gather terrifying subspace energy.

The energy was like the fury of the deepest abyss of hell, about to erupt.

At the same time, the flagship of the Imperial Fist and the Chapter Monastery, the Mountain Array, also roared in response.

This giant ship was like a lion awakening, its hundreds of cannons roaring in unison, and streaks of blazing fire pierced the void, pouring straight towards the enemy.

The crew members of those Bessou-class corvettes seemed to see the place where the Emperor had promised them to die in battle. They shouted "For the Emperor!" and steered their warships forward bravely.

With the engines running at full speed and roaring deafeningly, these brave warriors fearlessly charged into the dangerous area riddled with mines.

In an instant, a torrent of subspace energy from the Sea of ​​Souls crashed towards the Mountain Array with overwhelming force.

The moment these two powerful forces collided, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the point of contact, illuminating the entire cosmic battlefield.

However, the Void Shield of the Mountain Formation was not easily broken.

It stubbornly resisted the endless stream of warp energy, doing its utmost to send these evil forces back into the warp.

The thin blue shield shimmered with light, like an indestructible shield, steadily withstanding the fierce bombardment of Blackrock Fortress.

As time went by, the originally imposing purple beam of light gradually lost its momentum.

Its color grew increasingly dim, and its size shrank continuously until it vanished quietly into the vast void, like a candle flickering in the wind.

To everyone's astonishment, the Mountain Array's void shield remained intact, showing no signs of overload whatsoever.

It successfully deflected all of Blackrock Fortress's fierce attacks, demonstrating unparalleled defensive capabilities.

The Imperial soldiers were not distracted by the terrible collision; they methodically launched their attack on the Chaos Fleet according to plan.

On the vast and boundless cosmic battlefield, macro cannons and light spears rained down like raindrops, relentlessly bombarding the hideous and terrifying chaos warships.

Each violent explosion was accompanied by dazzling light and billowing smoke. In just a few moments, swathes of Chaos warships were reduced to wreckage under this terrifying firepower.

However, despite suffering such heavy losses, the Chaos Fleet, which was clearly at a disadvantage, did not choose to sit idly by and wait for its demise.

The fanatical followers of the evil god, as if driven by evil forces, recklessly revved the warships' engines and charged towards the imperial warships that were already waiting in battle, like a pack of mad beasts.

Although the Beacon-class corvettes that broke into the Chaos fleet were relatively small, their powerful broadside guns still posed a significant threat to the approaching Chaos warships.

One after another, the Gaixin-class corvettes nimbly traversed the battlefield, their broadside guns spitting fire as they relentlessly bombarded the nearby Chaos warships.

At the same time, these frigates cleverly used their maneuverability to gradually lure the Chaos warships into a pre-laid area of ​​dense mines.

However, despite the excellent performance of the Kaixin-class corvettes in the early stages of the battle, their small crew size and relatively fragile hull made them unable to withstand prolonged high-intensity combat pressure.

Therefore, it was not long before the Kaixin-class corvettes began to be destroyed under the enemy's fierce attacks.

Several Beacon-class frigates, which had already been successfully boarded by the Chaos Space Marines, resolutely turned around under everyone's watchful eyes and rammed straight into the Chaos warship at an astonishing speed.

In an instant, bursts of incredibly dazzling self-destructive flames shot into the sky.

This magnificent scene was like a dazzling fireworks display, instantly engulfing a large number of chaotic ships in the vicinity.

Witnessing all this, General Spyr closed his eyes with a heavy heart and silently prayed for the brave soldiers who had given their lives: "May your souls return to the Golden Throne..."

The Beacon-class corvettes that stormed into the Chaos Fleet successfully disrupted the fleet's formation, while the vast majority of the Chaos warships were within the blast radius of the mines.

"Detonate the minefield!" Spier shouted the order. Now was the perfect time to detonate the minefield, even if it destroyed the Beacon-class frigates in the Chaos Fleet at the same time.

All the mines were detonated, and an explosion that covered most of the Chaos Warships captured everyone's attention.

Abaddon's expression was grim. Although most of the Chaos ships he had placed in front were not members of the Black Legion, the loss of these Chaos warships would still lower his chances of winning.

They must break through the Imperial fleet's blockade quickly, or the Chaos Fleet will face only destruction.

"Nova Cannon, prepare."

On the Iron Ghost, Caul issued orders to the Mechanicus warships: the encirclement of Mandeville Point consisted of three parts, with him as the main force, supported by the Astartes and the Imperial Navy.

The light from the mine explosion had barely faded when the new cannons of the Mechanized Training ships began firing in unison.

Before the Chaos Fleet could even react to the mine explosions, it was dealt another heavy blow. Many of the Chaos ships that barely survived the mine explosions were melted by the barrage of Nova Cannons. The molten steel was solidified in the void as soon as it was formed, and huge, irregular steel continents appeared in space.

"Let Hecate of the Underworld fire." Abaddon had no choice but to reveal his trump card. The first shot from this warship was originally reserved for Cadia, but now he had to use it. "Aim at the Mountain Formation."

Under the cover of warp energy from Blackrock Fortress, a small nebula within the Chaos Fleet began to accumulate energy.

When the Imperial fleet discovered this warship, which shouldn't have been there, it was almost fully charged.

Apart from some differences in shipboard weapons and paint scheme, that warship was exactly the same as the Planet Killer!

"Mountain Array! Dodge!" Spier stared intently at the Mountain Array, which was braking suddenly. The warships surrounding her risked crashing into the Mountain Array, trying to use their engines to propel it away from the planet-killer's barrage.

Seven crimson beams of light struck the Void Shield of the Mountain Array. The Void Shield, which could withstand the bombardment of Blackrock Fortress, only lasted for a few seconds before it overloaded under the impact of the Doomsday Cannon.

Amidst the despairing gazes of the Imperial soldiers, the seven crimson beams struck the hull of the Mountain Formation!
