Chapter 160 Sacrifice is the Cornerstone of the Empire
"Oh no! The Void Shield of the Mountain Array is overloaded!" Spyr stared intently at the tactical display screen, a fine layer of sweat beading on his forehead.
He shouted urgently into the communications channel: "Silver Dawn Battle Group, Gothic Fleet Seventh Battle Group, and Sunlight Fleet Fifth Battle Group, commence operations immediately and provide full cover for the Mountain Formation!"
At this moment, the massive and terrifying Chaos Fleet was closing in step by step, getting closer and closer to the star.
They were like a pack of hungry wolves, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced on their prey.
Since Frikan Malos successfully trapped Mokas, the Chaos Fleet has no worries about its rear and can advance recklessly.
Although the Imperial Navy dispatched reinforcements in time, the number of ships that arrived at the battlefield was far too small due to the heavy losses suffered while traversing the subspace storm.
On this fierce battlefield, Spier also commanded the fleet to launch attacks on many occasions.
However, each attack was like hitting an impregnable wall, skillfully defended by Frican Marlos.
Although the Imperial warships' firepower was fierce, they were ultimately unable to inflict more serious damage on the Chaos Fleet.
Looking around, thousands of warships were densely packed near the star of Cadia.
The dazzling light emitted by the cannon, the brilliant trail left by the light spear as it streaked across the sky, and the magnificent fire from the missile explosion intertwined, illuminating the entire space as bright as day.
Suddenly, a massive Marauder-class Chaos Battleship came hurtling towards them.
With overwhelming force, it rammed into an Endeavour-class light cruiser blocking its path, then turned around without hesitation and concentrated its powerful broadside firepower on another Retribution-class battleship.
In an instant, crimson beams and shells roared in, slamming heavily onto the shields of the Retribution-class battleship, creating a dazzling burst of light.
Amidst a series of flashes, the Nascent Soul-class battleship, whose Void Shield was not in good condition, lost its shield.
Surprisingly, the Retribution-class battleship did not choose to evade the attack; instead, it resolutely pointed its massive broadside directly at the Chaos battleship.
At that very moment, the massive broadside cannon, as menacing and terrifying as a beast's fangs, roared out with a deafening howl, unleashing a deluge of shells that rained down with boundless fury and destructive power.
Meanwhile, the Void Shield of the Marauder-class battleship, which was charging at full speed, was overloaded and failed after being hit repeatedly during the charge.
In this close and thrilling exchange of fire, it had no way to avoid the relentless barrage of cannon fire from the Retribution-class battleships.
With a deafening roar, the Marauder-class battleship was struck squarely on its starboard side, taking full force of the Retribution-class battleship's unstoppable barrage of cannon fire.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, metal fragments flew everywhere, and the entire battlefield seemed to be plunged into an apocalyptic scene.
Despite the heavy damage, the two warships showed no sign of retreating. Instead, they resembled two raging beasts, rapidly adjusting their course to prepare for an even more brutal close-quarters battle.
The boarding torpedoes flew past each other in the air, their deadly bodies streaking across the sky like shooting stars.
In the blink of an eye, the starboard side of the Marauder-class battleship was directly facing the port side of the Retribution-class battleship.
At this moment, the two behemoths were heading towards each other at an astonishing speed, their cannons constantly spitting out flames, weaving together a dense and impenetrable net of fire.
Amidst deafening explosions and billowing smoke, the life-or-death struggle intensified.
Countless lives are lost every second, but the fighting spirit of both sides remains undiminished until one side's morale collapses completely, leading to their final demise.
As time went on, the empire's defensive perimeter gradually shrank and became smaller.
In certain areas, the density of Imperial warships was further increased, giving the Imperial Navy and the Astartes Legion a temporary, slight numerical advantage in some local areas.
Even so, this still cannot change the harsh reality that the Chaos Fleet's overall strength far surpasses that of the Imperial Navy.
After all, those more than 200,000 battle-hardened and ruthless Chaos Space Marines were not an existence that the Imperial Navy could easily contend with.
If it weren't for Caul's all-out support and assistance to the Imperial Navy, even Spyr would have found it extremely difficult to build this fragile defensive perimeter.
His Guardian of Justice led the Imperial Navy in one assault after another, but Frikan Malhoth commanded the Chaos warships from the brand-new Godsbest Black Fortress, blocking all his attacks.
During this time, Frican Malhodes also attempted to focus fire on the Guardian of Justice to kill Spyr, but Spyr, who saw through his intentions, used this opportunity to destroy some radical Chaos warships.
However, in Frikan Malhos's view, all of this was about to end, as the three Blackrock Fortresses were already close to the sun of Kadia.
This sun, which has shone on the Cardians for tens of thousands of years, will become the final key to destroying Cardia and the first step in destroying the human empire.
The Imperial Fist has been transferred entirely to Tina's Mountain Array, which launched its final assault on the Chaos Fleet after arriving from Terra to provide support.
The Mountain Formation was like a giant covered in wounds; its once sturdy body was now covered with shocking scars.
Of the once formidable and powerful weapon systems, more than 90% have been ruthlessly destroyed, leaving only a handful still clinging to life.
The brave and fearless Imperial Fist Space Marines also suffered heavy losses, with only a handful of survivors.
Even the Weeping Men, who assisted Galton in the battle, suffered heavy losses in the fierce fighting, with their numbers reduced to only ten men.
This once magnificent and vast space fortress, teeming with countless lives, now appears exceptionally desolate and silent.
The ordinary warriors above also experienced a bloody and brutal battle, and only a mere three thousand remained at their posts.
However, even in the face of such a desperate situation, these brave people did not give up hope.
Under Galton's sorrowful yet resolute gaze, the Imperial Fist's technical sergeant resolutely led his few mortal crew members, piloting the chapter's flagship, now stripped of its Void Shield protection, in a final charge against the enemy.
They were unafraid of death, with only one belief in their hearts—to buy more time and opportunities for their allies in the rear.
Meanwhile, under the selfless cover of the Mountain Array, the flagship "Guardian of Justice," carrying Spyr, led the Imperial Navy in an unprecedented large-scale assault.
Although Galton was physically weak after losing a heart, his spirit remained strong.
He gazed silently at the receding mountain horn, his eyes filled with reluctance and respect.
Because he knew all too well that this ancient space station, which had weathered countless storms and witnessed the ravages of war, was about to meet its tragic end.
The Mountain Array's thick and sturdy armor acted like an indestructible shield, protecting the Imperial Navy behind it from the fierce, surging attacks.
Some of the Chaos warships that didn't have time to dodge were directly smashed to pieces by the Mountain Array's massive body.
This scene shocked Spier; he never imagined that the Mountain Array could persist in sailing for so long under such adverse conditions.
Three raging torrents of subspace rushed toward the Mountain Array like wild horses.
While on the bridge of the Mountain Array, where the technical sergeant was struggling to defend against the Chaos boarding forces and Spyr on the Guardian of Justice, he naturally noticed the three dazzling purple lights.
As the deafening roars of the Chaos Space Marines mingled with the unwilling cries of the Tech-Soldiers, a warp torrent from the Blackrock Keep of the Godsbless slammed violently against the bridge of the Mountain Array.
In an instant, the bridge of the Mountain Array was completely wiped out by this powerful force, disappearing without a trace, along with the last Imperial sailors who remained on the bridge, who perished in the void.
Standing at a distance, Frikan Malhos coldly stared at the Mountain Array, which had lost its main body and become dilapidated, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips.
Although the three rounds of bombardment had successfully killed a large number of Chaos Space Marines, it was of no concern to him.
However, just when everyone thought the Mountain Array was about to sink, something unexpected happened!
Suddenly, as if a mysterious and unpredictable force had been injected into the engine of the Mountain Array, it unleashed an unprecedented amount of thrust.
Even though the Mountain Array's hull structure was severely damaged, even riddled with holes, it still charged toward Blackrock Fortress at full speed without hesitation.
The long-dormant macro cannons and light spears on her body were activated again without human intervention, and huge cannonballs and beams of light bombarded the unsuspecting Chaos warship.
This astonishing move sent the entire Imperial Navy into a frenzy, with soldiers raising their arms and cheering for this miraculous scene.
The priests of the Mechanicus were even more excited, and they loudly praised the great achievements of Om Messiah in their impassioned voices.
Upon witnessing this, Spyr quickly issued an order requiring the fleet to closely follow the Mountain Formation in launching the attack.
However, to his shock, no matter how hard they tried to speed up, they seemed unable to keep up with the wreckage of the relentlessly advancing Mountain Array.
Galton also witnessed this scene; it was the last thing the Mountain Array did for them, after his fighting comrades, she bravely faced death.
Frican Malhodes panicked. He immediately ordered the Chaos Ship to destroy the Mountain Array, but the Mountain Array grew larger and larger in his eyes under the gunfire.
Seven crimson beams of light came from afar as Hecate of the Underworld swung his final scythe of death.
The Mountain Array was directly hit by Hecate's Doomsday Cannon from the Underworld. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and, in the last moments of her life, she shone with the most brilliant light in space.
The three Blackrock fortresses stood not far from her, casting their shadows upon the Imperial Navy like the most dreadful evils.
They are distributed in a triangle above the star of Cardia, with three subspace torrents converging at one point and eventually rushing into the sun of Cardia.
They will repeat the destructive acts of the Gothic Wars, bringing the same destruction to Cardia!
The scene before him made Spyder tremble. Was there really nothing he could do?!
No, there is another way.
Spyr looked at the wreckage of the Mountain Array and the Chaos Fleet that had ceased attacking him as they prepared to retreat. Now, only the Guardian of Justice remained of this assault fleet, so it was his turn to complete the feat that Captain Abridal and the Pure Flame had accomplished eight hundred years ago.
Spier looked at the crew on the bridge, and they returned his gaze with unwavering determination.
Having already witnessed its power, the Imperial Navy began to withdraw to preserve its strength, while the Guardian of Justice sailed towards Blackrock Fortress amidst the Imperial Navy's puzzled gazes.
Immediately afterwards, Spiel's voice came through the Imperial Navy's communication channel.
"This is Spyder, the Guardian of Justice is the closest ship to Blackrock Fortress."
"All energy is channeled into the Void Shield."
"Let me end this mad war!"
"With my faith, the Emperor's light will shine to the farthest stars."
"In my duty, the galaxy will belong to the righteous!"
"Through my actions, the Imperial Navy will win its glory, and its fame will be remembered by the Holy Terra!"
"For the Emperor of all mankind!! And for the Gothic Fleet!!"
