It was at this moment that communications were cut off by enemy interference, but fortunately the alarm signal had been conveyed before this moment, and the entire fleet began to be on alert.
The triple whistling sound means the highest level of anti-landing alarm. Below this level, anyone on the ship who is still able to move, regardless of their identity, should be armed immediately and prepared to resist the attack.
Why was the response so fast? Or did someone just happen to see the enemy?
Zhang Ge was a little confused, but he didn't have time to dwell on it. He turned his gaze away from the side view and said:
"Follow."
I didn't hear any response. When I came back for the first time, I found that the girl had disappeared long ago, leaving only the female noble who was still unconscious there.
Accepting temporary cooperation does not mean accepting joint action, right? Okay, okay.
You better not come back to me suddenly and ask for help.
Looking around but unable to find the other person, Zhang Ge could only complain inwardly.
He began to walk toward the deck.
Although it is not entirely certain that the alien's purpose is to stop him from moving forward, the dark elves shown on her face are real, and things about her can only be discussed later.
Outside, some people were still a little confused by the alarm, but most of the nobles had already returned to their rooms and equipped themselves with all kinds of strange weapons.
Although they had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, if the war spread here, it was obvious that these people would not mind giving the invaders a head-on blow.
The guards who were originally stationed in various places were leaving their duty posts and rushing to the defensive positions of their own troops. Most of the people guarding this ship were elites from various troops. The entire process of switching to defense was orderly. Although everyone was running, no team fell into chaos.
When Zhang Ge passed through the columns of rushing troops and came to the deck - also the take-off and landing platform - he found that most of the fighter planes that were originally neatly arranged had already taken off.
At the same time, the protective shell is rising on both sides of the hull, slowly closing in on the middle, covering the entire deck above under its protection.
A large number of armored vehicles were deployed to the reserved firing positions with their tracks rumbling as temporary firing points, and some walkers simply climbed directly to various places outside the ship and hung there.
In the tense atmosphere as the alarm sounded, Zhang Ge also saw Amelia and others here.
Since they had been staying at the base before, they were already together when the incident happened. They did not go to the defense position because they were looking for Zhang Ge, the only missing person.
Finally, he met the deputy commander here, and after hearing him say that Zhang Ge would definitely come back here to assemble and stay here as soon as possible, he stopped to wait.
Without further greeting, Zhang Ge asked:
"Where's Atwood?"
As an interstellar warrior, if he were caught and subjected to the ultimate insult, the morale of those PDFs and the like would probably drop by half.
Amelia replied:
"Not sure, but we saw that Thunderhawk gunship take off when we arrived here."
Hearing this, Zhang Ge thought of a somewhat absurd possibility:
This guy is not planning to directly board the Dark Eldar's flagship.
outside.
In the optical sight of the weapon platform, various Dark Eldar aircraft and airships were rapidly increasing, with dozens of vehicles carrying about two hundred infantrymen.
Although they seem to be small in number, their extremely advanced weapons and undeniably high combat skills enable them to exert extremely strong destructive power with a smaller number of people.
The first to break away from their team were the dozen or so Venom aircraft in the front row. Those super-fast "air motorcycles" easily left their already extremely fast friendly forces behind and rushed towards the largest battleship.
On both sides, four Raven fighters also left the team.
Although they were far outnumbered by the enemy, the four fighter planes excitedly rushed towards the Empire's fighter planes that had just taken off from various locations and were flying towards them to intercept the enemy - especially the large blue Thunder Eagle gunboat in the lead.
That is a rare prey.
However, what no one could have imagined was that the first contact between the two sides was not between the two groups of aircraft flying towards each other.
A black shadow broke through the clouds and flew vertically upwards from directly below at an unimaginable speed.
Even the Chaos frigate's onboard anti-aircraft fire control could only detect the fighter jet at extremely close distances, let alone some low-powered "toys" on airships?
As it intentionally hid itself, the radars of both sides were unable to detect its existence.
By the time she flew straight toward the target from directly below a Raven and came within visual range of the rest of the troops in the rear, it was too late for the enemies who saw her to alert each other.
In the instant before contact, the Valkyrie rotated its fuselage so that its belly was facing the Raven's wing above.
The belly of the plane brushed past the side of the wing by a hair's breadth. The Dark Eldar pilot, who had just noticed the Valkyrie pressing close to him through the vibration of the airflow, froze in his smile.
The next moment, the Valkyrie's tail wing at the rear directly crossed its fragile wing surface. The Raven, which traded armor for speed, was already poorly protected, let alone such a high-speed contact?
The cut surface was instantly broken apart, and countless metal fragments flew out in the impact and cutting. A crack and the airflow passing through the Valkyrie's fuselage directly overturned the Raven.
Its broken body swayed and fell to the ground, and no matter how hard the pilot tried to control it, it had no intention of climbing up.
This Valkyrie declared its presence in the most brutal way, and at the same time humiliated these Dark Eldar who prided themselves on their speed and lethality in the most arrogant way.
This made the three remaining Ravens so angry that they abandoned the enemy aircraft group that was rushing towards their main force in front and turned to attack that enemy aircraft.

Chapter 123: All Tactics Jump to Gang
In front of the Imperial fleet, those Venom aircraft bypassed the various formations at an extremely fast speed. Without intending to engage in a head-on confrontation, they easily broke through the defense line formed by these fighters and flew towards the Imperial flagship.
Of course, the fighter planes themselves knew that it was unlikely to stop these venoms, so they did not pursue them. Instead, while the three enemy planes were chasing the unknown Valkyrie, they rushed straight towards the main group of Dark Eldar boats.
These airships consisted of several Rippers equipped with Storm Vortex Projectors, several Raiders with stronger firepower, and more than twenty troop-carrying Raiders, in addition to a dozen Raider motorcycles serving as escorts.
Normally, a Raider can carry about ten people, plus the Venom aircraft in front, so the enemy should be around four hundred.
However, if the purpose is just to plunder slaves, in order to increase speed and leave space for slaves, these airships are generally not fully loaded. Some of them may even have only two or three Eldar on board, reducing the number of enemies the fleet actually needs to face by nearly half.
The approaching groups of aircraft soon appeared above their respective horizons.
Since it was just an air battle within the Earth, the curvature of the planet existed - for example, if a laser gun was used, the maximum distance it could hit a person on a planet the size of Earth was about five kilometers.
Because the planet is round, beyond this distance, a human-sized target would be completely below the horizon and blocked by the planet itself.
This brings up a counterintuitive side issue: with the Empire's technological level, live-fire weapons for underground combat can actually reach much farther than rays.
This is because the former can flexibly adjust the charge or launch method to control the initial velocity, so that the projectile flies in an arc around the curvature of the planet and strikes enemies behind the horizon.
Back to the two sides, the curvature of the planet can of course also have an impact at high altitudes, which eliminates the range advantage that the Dark Eldar's original technology could have formed. The range of both sides' ray weapons far exceeds the curvature.
In actual combat, the excess is meaningless, so it will not have any impact if one side exceeds the other.
However, due to the pilot's own reaction speed and the sensitivity of the weapon system, the Dark Eldar still seized the advantage of firing first.
The first group to enter the combat range were the Valkyries. The avionics systems of each of their aircraft were performing calculations and issuing early warnings based on the direction of the enemy's weapons. The cockpits of the fighter planes targeted by the enemy were flashing with shrill and rapid alarms.
Although they had anticipated the disadvantage, the enemy's attack speed was still faster than the pilots had imagined. The fleet had just time to make the initial maneuver before the beams of light from the small light spears on the airships arrived in an instant.
Dozens of rays that broke through the air were wrapped in irresistible super-high temperatures. At the underground combat distance, as long as the crosshairs of these light-speed rays were still on the enemy at the moment of aiming, the attacks would not miss at all.
The so-called maneuverability only increases the difficulty of the enemy's aiming, and cannot avoid these lasers after they are fired.
This resulted in the fleet, which had just begun to maneuver, being almost completely attacked in this round. Under the guidance of the enemy's target array system, extremely deadly lasers fell on the bodies of each aircraft, causing several Valkyries that were targeted to explode directly into fireballs and flying debris in mid-air.
Most of the remaining fighter planes were damaged, leaving behind flames and black smoke.
It's hard to imagine that this isn't even the enemy's specialized air combat vehicle.
Rockets? No way they'd hit them. Hellstrike missiles? They're anti-tank missiles.
After enduring a round of attacks, the pilots found that the only thing they could rely on was the multi-barrel laser cannon.
But obviously, retreat is not the usual style of the imperial army.
Countless crimson lasers responded along the trajectory of the enemy's attack. The laser barrels rotated and spewed out beams of light at maximum power, even weaving a red net for a moment.
However, the enemy was too agile. In comparison, the Valkyrie fighters, which were originally considered to be fast, were like a group of clumsy fat men.
The Dark Eldar airships drew graceful and efficient trajectories across the sky according to the direction of the enemy's gun barrels, avoiding the rounds of angry lasers.
Of course, there are occasionally unlucky people who, because they are too obsessed with the thrill of life and death, forget their own fragility and are torn in half by the red light that should have just passed by them.
These airships, which have basically no armor, can be destroyed and everyone on board can die if they are hit by one or two lasers.
The exchange of fire between the two sides continued and the distance between them was getting closer.
Most of the Valkyrie fighters have been destroyed, but the damage caused to the enemy is not even more than five.
However, this does not mean that their sacrifice was meaningless.
Because the Thunderhawk gunships and Archaeopteryx they were protecting behind them were approaching the enemy.
At the distance of air combat, even with the help of optical sighting, it is difficult to distinguish between enemy aircraft with the naked eye.
The camouflage of advanced fighters such as the Thunderhawk gunship and the Archaeopteryx can completely deceive non-aircraft airships, causing their scanning systems to identify these aircraft as Valkyries.
Therefore, the dozen or so fighter planes that approached the enemy silently and quickly between the beams of light spears, with friendly forces exploding around them but never suffering any losses, finally arrived at the effective attack range.
The first to break the silence were the intelligent heavy-duty lumbering guns carried by the Archaeopteryx. Although there were only twelve of them, the metal storm they wove made the Dark Eldar suddenly realize that something was wrong.
Those projectiles were incredibly accurate, even more so than those lasers.
When they turned their attention, they further discovered that the avionics on the airship were unable to effectively judge the attack trajectories of the red fighter planes.
This is naturally the result of the Archaeopteryx's active control.
The two intelligent heavy-duty lumberjacks mounted on the front of the fighter plane pointed in different directions, and fine-tuned their barrel orientation, projectile charge, and type at any time, even using the vibration of each recoil to make the trajectory of the next bullet more difficult to predict.
Most of the time, even the projectiles fired at the same airship were launched from various locations by several Arc'teryxes under joint calculations, and no matter how you dodge, you will inevitably hit some of them.
The fragile shell of the airship could not even effectively defend against the bullets from these heavy logging guns, causing the losses to rise sharply.
But what’s even more deadly is not just that.
The Thunder Eagle gunboat, which looked bulky but approached at a speed that was inconsistent with its appearance, flew straight into the group of airships.
The beam of light shot out by the small light spear could only tear a small hole in its armor, but was completely unable to cause any effective damage.
The gunboat was heading straight for the most magnificent of the enemy boats, where the leader of these dark elves was located.
ps: Today is the fifth day of the new year, so can you v me 50 votes?
Chapter 124: Not Very Honorable But Efficient
Of course, the Dark Eldar would never allow their airship to come into direct contact with this tough gunboat.
Although the speed of the Thunder Eagle gunship is fast enough, it is still far inferior to that of the airship.
This most gorgeous airship also had the strongest performance. It performed a light side roll and easily avoided the Thunder Eagle gunship that was heading towards it like a bullfighter playing with a bull. The two passed by each other, and it even had the lingering effect to use its light spear to make another hole in the side of the gunship.
However, just as they knew that their maneuverability was far superior to that of the Thunderhawk gunships, the Space Marines knew this as well.
Just as the leader of this small group looked at the clumsy Thunder Eagle flying by with contempt, planning to have some fun with the big guy inside.
He met the gaze of a pair of goggles flashing a cold red light within a pair of gradually emerging white helmets.
It was Atwood, with two other Space Marines beside him.
The three were not inside the fuselage at the beginning, but after loading the camouflage, they used magnets to attach themselves directly to the belly of the fuselage.
At this moment, there is no need to hide your existence anymore.
The energy originally used to supply camouflage was diverted to the jump packs, allowing three giants three meters tall to appear at this moment of intersection.
Magnetic closure.
Its gleaming metallic armor was particularly eye-catching at this moment.
The six pillars of fire ejected from the jump packs instantly pushed the three people from the belly of the aircraft onto the airship.
However, the conspiracy officers who have survived to this day are naturally no ordinary people.
As a noble Trueborn, the Dark Eldar officer reacted the instant the three men appeared, and his movements were much faster than those of the hastily trained cabal soldiers.
This seems good?
The officer thought so, and when he thought about the torture that would be brought by the blade breaking through the enemy's muscles, and their powerless roars and howls of pain, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue to lick the ashes smeared on the black armor, which were filled with the souls of the sufferers.
He drew a scimitar in his hand. This visually striking bone blade was made by the Haemonchi. The main body was a vertebra taken from different slaves, and the blade was made of the incomplete skull of an infant.
The poison coating the bones not only torments the unfortunate ones imprisoned within, but can also easily penetrate and inflict extreme pain on the victim.
But Atwood remained unmoved.
