Warhammer, about my years with the Wolfpack

If Balder was truly an ordinary person who arrived here from Blue Star, his soul would have long since been ripped apart by the Eldar. All his memories would have been stripped away, analyzed, and then sealed! They might even have completely erased them out of fear of information spreading!

Balder never overestimated the integrity of the Eldar. After the Eldar's fall, they often resorted to beggar-thy-neighbor tactics, using inducement, deception, and exploitation. This was partly because they no longer had the capital they once had, and partly because the extreme environment had stimulated them.

As a result, the Eldar grew weaker and more short-sighted, their desire to cling to their former glory grew stronger. Some Eldar chose conspiracy, some chose corruption, and still others chose seclusion. They fell into a vicious cycle. Though they used mournful melodies to describe their race's decline, they never united to restore their former glory.

There are certainly visionaries among the Eldar, but even the God of Harlequins can only control the troupe. He's powerless against the fragmented and eccentric Eldar survivors. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of ​​using his own hands to kill Black Bean Sprout! How ruthless would the God of Laughter have to be to do such a thing?

As for the Necrontyr? Balder couldn't say for sure. These soulless beings, who had even slept for tens of millions of years, their processors malfunctioning from sleep, what were they thinking? How could he know?

"So, now I can confirm that I am a time traveler, a reincarnated person. I even remember some fragments of my past." Balder walked in the empty hall, stroking his chin in thought, digging out the secrets deep in his memory.

Mastering spacetime is considered advanced in the 40K era, but definitely not rare. As for reincarnation? It's also quite common. After all, during the heyday of the Eldar, everyone could reincarnate. And back in the Warp's more peaceful times, even the psykers of the Ancients could reincarnate. While it might be a bit more difficult now, considering the unkillable saints of the 40K era, immortality and reincarnation aren't that surprising.

As he continued to think and dig into the memories deep in his soul, Balder felt that the barrier protecting his mind was becoming increasingly thin. Simply put, he was tired and could not go on like this.

Chapter 50 Fragments of Memory 2

"Okay, let's stop here for today." Balder suggested to himself. The memories receded like the tide, and Balder felt his emotions returning.

"Wait, could the Emperor be seeing my secret?" Balder suddenly remembered something terrifying: could he possibly reveal it to the Emperor? As for the God of Laughter and the King of Figures, Balder had given up hope. They surely knew him well, perhaps even better than he did. After all, anyone who invested in him had a reason, and he'd earned it through his own merit, not just a freeloader. But the Emperor...

"Huh, forget it, I won't say anymore. Let's live one day at a time. At least my treatment is not bad now." After a few minutes, Bader quickly adjusted his mentality.

"The Emperor must know some secrets about himself. There are no coincidences in the Warhammer world. Now that I can come back and meet my former warship, it proves this point. At least now, the Emperor should be relatively satisfied with himself." Balder thought randomly.

"You really don't know my name?" Balder asked the machine soul of the Endless Journey again.

"If what you said is just a code name, then I can tell you, but if it is a real name, I don't know!" said Endless Journey.

"Real name?!" Balder's pupils dilated rapidly upon hearing this word. As memories once again burst forth from the depths of his soul, a name suddenly appeared in his mind. However, it wasn't his name, but the name of the Endless Journey's Machine Spirit! Along with the silent words, a stream of spiritual energy spread within the warship. This spiritual energy quickly resonated with the warship to some degree!

Balder sensed the Endless Journey's joy and excitement, as well as its enthusiasm and loyalty. Finally, a door leading deeper into the hall opened, and at the end of the passage, Balder saw a throne!

"Welcome back, my lord." The Endless Journey issued a warm invitation. Countless ghosts reappeared, forming neat rows on either side of the passage, as if to greet their king's return. Balder approached the throne and eventually sat down. Beside him, a humanoid figure appeared, standing beneath the throne as his deputy.

"My Lord, from now on, I will serve your will and become your sword, your mount, and your home," the projection said, bowing. His appearance and movements were impeccable, and he swore allegiance to Balder with a humble gesture.

"I will finally find myself, my friends, my men, and my family." Balder looked at the battleship, and a flood of memories brought back the past. The Endless Journey was indeed his friend, a friend who had been with him for a long time.

However, the current situation is rather awkward. Balder cannot know his real name, so he cannot fully utilize his previous power. In a galaxy full of monsters, he is now just a relatively powerful guy.

Although the Endless Journey is also very powerful, it refused to allow the Mechanicus to interfere with its core, and the condition of this powerful warship is still relatively poor. Although even now it can still make powerful warships including the Golden Gear far behind, it is still far from its peak period.

So, the current situation is that Balder needs to find a way to completely repair the Endless Journey before he can rediscover his true name! Of course, he also has to work on the Great Crusade. If he doesn't properly deal with the weeds in the galaxy's backyard, humanity's future will be difficult. Fighting Chaos is still a distant prospect; weeding is the most urgent priority.

"I didn't expect I, too, have a True Name?" Balder said with a wry smile. Just think about what beings with True Names are? Daemons have True Names, the Emperor has a True Name, and so do the Primarchs. It can be roughly understood that any intelligent being whose projection in the Warp is powerful enough to a certain degree may have a True Name.

What is a True Name? Perhaps only the Emperor could explain this, but Baldur clearly couldn't discuss it with the Emperor. Even if the Chaos Daemons knew, they wouldn't reveal the truth. The Eldar did offer some information, but considering their actions, Baldur trusted his instincts. Clearly, the Eldar gods didn't yet know their True Names, or they would have figured them out long ago. Rather than trading for something like a Soul Stone, Baldur was using it as a bargaining chip.

"Don't make my subordinates wait too long, complete the ceremony immediately. In the future, my subordinates will board the Endless Journey. I hope you can live in harmony. They are my brothers and friends in this life." Balder said.

"As you command." The machine spirit of the Endless Journey responded.

"I remember when you were born, the light of the star illuminated the entire dock, and you walked towards the light into space. And today we will walk towards the new light," said Balder.

After the Endless Journey welcomed its master, everything went smoothly. The two fleets quickly reunited and sailed together to the Star Fortress. Here, the Endless Journey and the Morning Star Fleet would undergo some light maintenance before reuniting with the main fleet commanded by Leman Russ to carry out their first upcoming mission. It was at this moment that Baldur truly set foot on this magnificent world.

Chapter 51: The Space Wolves' First Battle

"My king, the fleet of the chief lord of the legion has arrived." A guard came to Rus and reported.

On the bridge of the Hrafinkel, Rust, who was discussing the battle situation and mission with his men, suddenly stood up and said loudly to his men, "Boys, leave the necessary personnel on duty and prepare to welcome the arrival of our sworn brothers!"

"As you command, my king," the captains and lieutenants around him stood up and responded, much like a subordinate responding to their superior in the army, somewhat cold and impersonal.

Russ couldn't help but frown, feeling a sense of dissatisfaction. This wasn't the way his legion should have been. The relationship between him and his heirs shouldn't be the simple superior-subordinate relationship of the Imperial Army, but rather a relationship of family and friends. In the past, even when a Wolf Lord returned, those friendly to him would respond with Fenrisian warmth. But now, with his brother's return, quite a few of them acted businesslike.

The conflict between Balder and Blood Howl only partially resolved the issue. The Wolves, awed by Balder's immense power, obeyed him, but they were not truly considered family or friends. Russ understood both sides, and now they both felt incompatible. For example, their fighting styles: his own blood relatives preferred to overwhelm their opponents with fury and close combat, while Balder preferred long-range fire. Furthermore, the ironclad rules of Balder's plan were unpopular with the other Great Companies.

"They move like steel and machinery, without a single ounce of fighting spirit," Holmi said to himself privately, and he was right. Even Russ felt the same way.

A moment later, Russ and his troops arrived at the flagship's docking station. Through the portholes, Russ and his descendants finally caught sight of Baldur's flagship. Previously, they had only seen images of the warship. Because it resembled a harpoon, some had nicknamed the Endless Journey Baldur's Harpoon. Sometimes, it was also called the Iron Harpoon. But now, as the warship materialized before them, they realized the pressure and power emanating from this "harpoon." Surrounded by the Mechanicus' Morning Star Fleet and two other Great Companies, the ship's oppressive presence became even more pronounced.

"This ship is huge! It's much larger than our battleships, but only slightly shorter than the Hrafnkl."

"This ship is very wide and has three bridges, which is completely different from our style."

"Look at those ships behind him. They are said to be from Mars. They are different from our ships and are filled with all kinds of special things."

The officers behind Russ began to whisper, but Russ did not stop them. This kind of venting within the regulations was allowed. In fact, Russ also felt that there was something strange about the Endless Journey, as if it was not a warship, but a living being.

"Pay our respects to the Primarch," Baldur commanded from the bridge of the Endless Journey.

"Okay, my master." The projection standing next to Balder bowed and said.

The Endless Journey then sent a greeting, and the Hrafinkel responded. The two warships separated from their respective fleets and then reunited, sailing side by side. Balder boarded the shuttle and brought Heimdall to Russ's flagship.

"Welcome, my brothers." Russ gave Balder a Fenrisian hug, as usual. The two powerful beings embraced, feeling each other's joy and goodwill. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two men entered the command room. Inside, besides the Space Wolves, was Captain Marius of the Custodes, who, following the Emperor's orders, accompanied Balder whenever possible. There were also Dark Angels personnel, who were the Space Wolves' former instructors, and as this was the Space Wolves' first battle, their participation was natural.

In the command room, Wolf Lord Walder Abyssal Dawn, the former commander of the Sixth Legion from Terra and the current Grand Captain of the Eleventh Company, introduced the objectives and enemies of this battle to everyone present.

The enemy is the alien that everyone loves to see in the Warhammer world - the Orks! The Imperial Expeditionary Fleet discovered this star region ruled by the Orks, and then naturally, the Space Wolves came here to eliminate them. It was originally a simple matter, but only Balder knew that the story behind it was not simple.

This sector is very close to a region called the Flaming Wheel. Rus returned to the Imperium in 807M30. It's now 808M30. In the background, Rus and his Legion entered this sector in 810M30 and engaged in battle with the Ork warlords there. It took a full five years for the Space Wolves to finally clear it out, but the Chapter paid a heavy price, losing a third of its personnel! And because the Space Wolves proved themselves with blood and military exploits, Rus was awarded the Fortress of the Fang and the Emperor's gift of the Spear of Dionysus!

At present, the enemy the Space Wolves were facing was likely a peripheral force from the Ork Empire of the Flaming Wheel. Taking this place would be no problem, but the Space Wolves were about to face a truly bloody test.

"I still want to farm!" Balder said in his heart.

"Okay, everyone knows our goal, right? This time, we will concentrate the forces of 9 large companies to capture this galaxy called Orion, which has two habitable planets, Orion 1 and Orion 2. This galaxy also has several gas planets. This is the pearl of the entire star region, but it has been defiled by the orcs! If we can take it cleanly, this galaxy will become the territory of the Space Wolves Legion!" Rus said loudly.

"Huh?! I'm not sleepy anymore now that you've said that." Balder perked up! You should have said so earlier, to carve out a territory for yourself!

The battle plan had been finalized. Simply put, the Russ army would first attack the closer Orion 2. Then, with the exception of a small fleet left behind to defend, everyone would attack Orion 1, which had a single satellite. The enemy wasn't very strong, so everyone could just go at it.

Next, the tasks were assigned. Balder and his fleet formed the left flank of the entire legion, providing cover. Holmi Longgang led another large company and part of the Imperial fleet as the right flank. Russ led the center force to assault Orion II, first wiping out the Ork fleet in the universe and then preparing for the landing. Simple and straightforward!

The meeting went very smoothly and was basically finalized beforehand. A few hours later, everyone returned to their respective flagships, and the first battle of the Space Wolves was about to begin!

Chapter 52: Endless Journey's Debut 1

"Begin, Endless Journey, don't let me down." Balder looked at the Orc fleet gradually appearing in the projection. Although the current Wolf Group was far smaller than the later ones, it was still a legion. Its own fleet plus the Imperial auxiliary forces made the fleet very large. The three fleets were dispersed.

After all, putting them together would be a bit awkward. In reality, each of the three fleets had its own commanders and battlefields. And Balder's fleet faced an Orc fleet of over 20 large warships. (In this article, large warships refer specifically to battlecruisers and larger cruisers. Cruisers are considered capital ships, but not large battleships. Light cruisers and smaller are considered frigates.)

"Okay, master, I will lead the charge!" The Endless Journey responded.

Balder's plan was simple: the Endless Journey would strike first, relying on its superior technology to decimate and sap the Ork fleet from a distance, then lure them into their pre-set ambush zone. Next, the Mechanicus's Morning Star Fleet and Wolf Fleet's long-range lance warships would enter the fray, using planetary cannons and long-range firepower for a second round of long-range attrition and attack. After two consecutive rounds of attacks, as the Ork fleet approached, the fleet's heavy gunboats and boarding ships would charge in for a close-range engagement. Meanwhile, the long-range fleet would continue its offensive, until the enemy declared GG.

"The Infinity has left the formation." Someone on the Fire Lord reported to Hake Hammer.

"This is all in the plan." Watching the flagship quickly leave the formation, Hake felt a strange feeling in his heart. Shouldn't the flagship be with his fleet? Is it okay to just leave like this?

"Contact the Golden Gear and ask them if there's a backup plan if something goes wrong with the Endless Journey." Huck thought about it, still feeling uneasy. But a moment later, the Golden Gear sent a simple message: "You're worrying too much. This will be a glorious victory!"

At this time, a selection panel appeared in front of Balder. The panel showed that the ultra-long-range pulse light spear area located under the two auxiliary bridges of the Endless Journey was ready. It asked whether to add additional attributes. Balder took a glance and found that one of the options was: Ignore most defensive positions!

"Hiss..." Balder gasped. It seemed several of the Dark Angels' Relic Cruisers had similar weapons, and they were being used against Curze. After some thought, Balder decided not to be too ostentatious and chose an option to attack the shield reinforcement.

The Endless Journey's primary weaponry is an axial array mounted on the bow. The two secondary hulls house the secondary weaponry, while the main hull houses the primary weaponry. These primary weapons are said to be rarely used. Glancing at the weaponry, Balder agreed that these weapons are rarely used. This is partly because they rarely encounter enemies worthy of use, and partly because many of these weapons require maintenance and overhaul. Although the Endless Journey has undergone repairs over the years, many key components still suffer from problems.

"We have entered the gas cloud area and avoided the enemy's search."

"The ultra-long-range pulse light spear weapon is fully charged."

"Target selected, ready to attack." Countless data streamed into Balder's brain. The Endless Journey had chosen an Orc warship, ready to test its capabilities. The fleet behind them had already deployed, and the Endless Journey had locked onto its target, while the distant Orc fleet remained completely unaware of this. The attack could be launched at any moment.

"Wait, let Russ take action first. This honor is his." Balder did not open fire immediately. The main bridge was very quiet at this time, and everyone was doing their duties. After regaining his previous memory, Balder vaguely felt that the warship's weapon configuration was more inclined towards the Eldar, rather than the Empire.

While the Empire's weapons are mounted on the sides of the ship, the Endless Journey's are frontal, and to increase the number of weapons on the front, it utilizes three hulls. Its weapons primarily consist of lances and various energy projectiles, with the pulse lance being a distinct Eldar feature.

Simply put, the Eldar deploy their Light Spears on the front, fused to the hull. Their advanced technology allows them to create enormous Light Spears. If the Light Spears of Imperial warships are like spears that poke the enemy, then the Light Spears of the Eldar are like drills; once they stick, they drill! (Those who have played Battlefleet Gothic 2 should know this.)

Specifically, when the Endless Journey fires, the laser beams will last from several minutes to over ten minutes, depending on the target's attributes! Few warships can survive a single volley of the Endless Journey's lances! The trade-off is that once the energy reserves are depleted, the lances take a long time to recharge. Furthermore, after multiple rounds of fire, the lances require maintenance and a cooldown period.

Therefore, when using the Light Spear in combat on the Endless Journey, the basic principle is to find the right opportunity, launch a long-range attack, and then withdraw from the battle, wait until the Light Spear is fully charged, and then come back to launch the second attack.

"Master, the Primarch has taken action." In the distance, Rus's fleet collided with the main Ork fleet, and the signals of the exchange of fire between the two sides had been detected. Then, with Balder's tacit approval, the Endless Journey began to accelerate, swiftly breaking through the gas cloud at a speed exceeding that of ordinary Imperial cruisers, rushing towards the rear of the Ork fleet!

"Shooting countdown!" With the Light Lance's final self-check complete, the weapon unlocked, and a vast amount of plasma was injected into the Light Lance. With the energy transformed and focused, the tips of the Endless Journey's wings shone with dazzling light! With the weapon preheated, Endless Journey slightly adjusted the battleship's posture before aiming the deadly weapon at the target.

"Open fire!" As the order was given, two beams of lavender light suddenly cut through the dark night, crossing the vast void like the scythe of the god of death, and finally slashed fiercely on a 6-kilometer-long orc battleship!

"The Endless Journey attacks!" The Flame Lord, at the front of the fleet, was the first to capture the moment the lasers struck. The Orcs' defensive stance was cut through by the endless beams like a hot knife through butter. In just a dozen seconds, the pale yellow shield was sliced ​​open like a fragile eggshell. Then, like swords of judgment, two beams pierced the target's rear power compartment!

Beams tens of meters thick swept across the Ork's massive hull, slicing through tens or even dozens of meters of outer steel plating with the intense heat, even vaporizing some components. Under the precise guidance of the Endless Journey, the laser beams pierced through every part of the warship: the hull, the hangar, the guns, the passageways. The death beams, descending from the sky, incinerated the hordes of Orks, Squiggs, and other creatures into atoms, all the way to the power compartment!

"This is horrific! This battleship has been sliced ​​open!" Both the Space Wolves and the Mechanicus witnessed a startling scene from their sensor arrays. The rear of the battleship had been sliced ​​open by a quarter in less than two minutes. The Endless Journey then halted its attack, not because it had run out of energy, but because the laser beam had ignited the battleship's reactor!

Chapter 53: Endless Journey's Debut 2

"Target No. 1 has been destroyed, locking onto target No. 2." After the first orc warship turned into a gorgeous evolution in the universe, the Endless Journey found its second target. The first attack did not exhaust its reserve energy. In less than a minute of target switching time, the Endless projected the terrifying fire of destruction onto another warship!

The attack was as decisive as ever. The Ork warship's shields were pierced in the blink of an eye, and the sweeping beam lances severed half of the bridge. Then, they penetrated deep into the ship's reactor. As the attack continued, the Endless Journey analyzed the enemy's weaknesses, knowing where to strike most easily against this Ork fleet.

A few minutes later, another explosion echoed throughout the Orc fleet, a second firework bursting into space. The two rapid kills finally alerted the Orc fleet to the terrifying presence behind them. Numerous cruisers and destroyers began turning, their technicians frantically slamming red buttons on their control panels as they rushed toward the Endless Journey! Waves of unique psychic energy spread across space.

But even so, the orcs still failed to stop the Endless Journey from smashing the third orc battleship into pieces.

"I found their flagship." Balder's eyes snapped open. In his psychic vision, he saw something incredibly shiny and eerily atop a warship. "Is this what they call a Wow Energy Field?" The glittering spiritual power before him seemed to remind Balder of something.

"If you need, we can try to destroy it after the next recharge." Endless Journey said, looking at the battleship in the distance.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the Orc fleet enters our ambush zone, then we'll destroy this ship," Balder said after a moment's thought. The opposing ship was likely a battleship, making it difficult to deal with. Furthermore, even if it were destroyed, the enemy would scatter, and their annihilation battle would become a crushing defeat. Therefore, the key was to weaken the enemy while not destroying them. Wait until the enemy enters the ambush zone, then destroy the flagship. Once their morale is boosted, the rest is easy to reap!

"This..." A special beam of light hit the Endless Journey. Although it only lightly hit the Endless Journey's shield, the speed of the entire battleship seemed to be slightly reduced.

"It's a tractor beam." The mood of the Endless Journey changed a little, and Balder also knew about this. It can be understood as the tractor beam. It has no killing power in itself, but it has the effect of slowing down.

In addition to naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, there are too many other combat methods in Warhammer 40K fleet battles. The orcs are even more amazing. They can always come up with something special. The traction deceleration beam (this is borrowed from "Fleet Battleship Gothic 2") and large-scale teleportation are the more annoying ones.

"Speed ​​up the evacuation. I don't want to be boarded by those greenskins." Following Balder's order, the Infinity charged its pulse lance and accelerated its evacuation. The orc warships might have many problems, but their small boats were still very fast, especially after pressing the red button. These warships were coming from all directions towards the Infinity.

"Secondary guns, free fire." The Endless Journey suddenly changed direction quickly in the air. Under the skillful control of the machine spirit, the side thrust engine placed its left side across the front of the orc boat. With the opening of the side secondary guns and missile bays, attacks like raindrops fell on the densely packed small warships in front.

The dense hail of bullets formed a cascade of fire, which, as the Endless Journey moved, swept through the small Ork warships, shattering them into fragments, ranging from a few hundred meters to a kilometer in size. Each battery, controlled by the targeting matrix, delivered precise blows. Explosions erupted continuously across the Ork fleet. The pouring flames and rain of destruction cleared a path for the Endless to break through!

"Boarding torpedoes and landing craft! There are too many of them!" At this moment, an officer who had previously served in the Imperial Navy exclaimed, pointing at the dense cluster of light dots appearing on the tactical projector. Generally speaking, nearly half of the Ork fleet's combat power is reflected in boarding. This unique 40K naval battle phenomenon is undeniable!

"Quiet, my lord will take care of everything." The Martian sage Suville, who was on duty at the main bridge today, was busy with his work while scolding the naval officer in dissatisfaction.

"Is it a big problem?" Balder asked calmly. If that didn't work, he still had 200 Centurion Terminators on board.

"This wave is not a big problem. We will be completely out of the way before they are ready for the next wave." Endless Journey responded nonchalantly.

"Very good." Balder nodded. "Tell Heimdall and the Morning Star Fleet that the prey has been hooked. The rest is up to them."

Hundreds, even thousands, of landing craft and landing torpedoes flew towards the huge battleship. Although the secondary guns and missile bays on the side of the Endless Journey tried their best to intercept the targets, the excessive number and the interference caused by the explosions prevented the Endless Journey from solving all problems through hard kills. Finally, the first wave of landing craft was about to board the ship, and at this time, the transparent shield on the outside of the Endless Journey changed.

"Repulsion field ready!" As a massive amount of energy was drawn from the reactor, a powerful reverse thrust suddenly erupted from the Infinity, sweeping across the surroundings like a gust of wind. The Ork landing craft in the distance were instantly reduced to leaves swaying in the wind. They were repelled, some even torn apart by the overwhelming repulsion and internal momentum exceeding the structural limits of the hull. It didn't last long, perhaps only a few seconds, but the fierce impact immediately thwarted the Ork boarding attempt. Seizing this last opportunity, the Infinity finally managed to shake off the enemy.

"Destroy three battleships, two small boats, and anything smaller doesn't count." The Endless Journey produced its first answer sheet after its return.

"Very good," Balder said with a smile. In a relatively small-scale engagement like this, the Endless Journey alone had a significant advantage. However, if the number of warships increased, and the enemy had long-range weapons capable of engaging the Endless Journey, then the Endless Journey would obviously not be able to fight so well. Of course, as he continued to recover, his combat effectiveness would continue to improve.

As time went by, the Orc fleet stepped into the encirclement step by step. The fleet that rushed out of the asteroid belt formed a semi-encirclement formation to surround the enemy, and the war was about to break out!

Chapter 54 Take it lightly

"In the name of the God of All Things, destroy these cancers of the universe! Humanity's domination of the galaxy is an unchangeable destiny! Praise the God of All Things!" The Morning Star Fleet launched its attack first. Dozens of warships equipped with nova cannons took aim at the charging Ork fleet. As the massive bow cannons fired, dazzling beams of light instantly enveloped the entire fleet. Each shell, accelerated by barrels measured in kilometers, flew towards its distant target. In an instant, the distant Ork fleet was engulfed in a belt of destruction created by the explosion of dozens of nova shells.

In bursts of flashes and explosions, Ork capital ships were damaged or even destroyed, while fragile smaller warships might be directly destroyed with a single shot. If the Infinity's performance just now could be described as deadly and graceful, then the Mechanicus fleet's planetary cannon salvos were a hammer blow, a lengthy preparation but no less deadly.

"Prepare for second fire." After a lengthy period, the Morning Star Fleet completed its second salvo of Nova Cannon fire. Then, the entire fleet and the Space Wolves turned their hulls, using their flank and hull-mounted lances and macrocannons to level their targets. The planetary cannons' ultra-long-range attack allowed them to fire twice before the enemy entered normal engagement range. However, the Morning Star Fleet lacked the immense maneuverability and anti-jump capabilities of the Endless Journey, so close combat was inevitable. By this point, the Ork fleet had been severely weakened. The battle would have its ups and downs, but the outcome was already determined.

"Let's destroy that flagship." The Endless Journey, which had been recharged, drew a circle in the universe elegantly and returned to the battlefield.

By this time, the Orc fleet had been shattered by its own fleet's attacks. Split into smaller groups, they rushed towards their target like a mad herd, devoid of any strategy. They struggled under the barrage of macrocannons and light spears. And now, Balder was determined to destroy their last spiritual pillar!

"Fire!" The lasers on the Endless Journey's wings fired another terrifying blast, while the ship's vertical missile launch system and secondary guns reloaded. Deadly beams and a rain of missiles and shells roared down upon the lone flagship. The moment the two sides met, their shields were instantly overloaded, and the entire ship was then hit repeatedly. In just ten minutes, the warship became the most dazzling display of fireworks on the battlefield. However, Balder was in no mood to admire this beautiful kill, for his attention was focused on other matters.

"I see." As the orc flagship was smashed into pieces, Balder discovered that an invisible spiritual wave spread across the entire battlefield, and all the orcs fell into panic and helplessness. The orcs who had just braved the hail of bullets and fought desperately suddenly became like fart spirits.

"The orc boss has never been just a leader and manager. These orc subordinates will invisibly enhance the boss's power, and the boss will also buff his subordinates." Balder sounded from a high nut in another world.
