Dedicate loyalty to the good empire

Chapter 575: Battle with Abaddon

For Taylor, the Vengeful Spirit may have felt like a curse, a nagging nightmare, a lingering, awful gift from Chaos.

The same goes for Abaddon. The Chaos Warmaster's terrible personality is almost the most unbearable thing in the entire universe.

Abaddon's idea was quite simple, which was to attack at the cost of his own life and destroy the Empire Eternal, and then leave everything else to the Red Pirates.

As the saying goes, smashing everything to pieces is the easiest job in the world, and Abaddon is very good at it.

Taylor also had a plan in mind for this, which was to keep Abaddon out of the Empire's Eternal Years.

However, he did not dare to send his entire army forward because the enemy was likely to send infiltration troops, and secondly, the enemy's military strength far exceeded his own means.

It can be said that the spearhead tactics will work again this time. Now Taylor has sorted out about 6 elite warships and prepared them to follow the Damocles.

He needed to make another quick penetration, go straight to Abaddon's heart, and then get out.

This sounds impossible, but Taylor's understanding of Chaos is deep in his bones. Those seemingly powerful armies are actually the result of Abaddon's personal strength.

They were nothing but a loose bunch, a ridiculous group of inferior soldiers who had no ability to coordinate with each other.

Even the Chaos Space Marines are merely lackeys who follow their own desires, not true soldiers.

This is why the forces of chaos always retreat in front of the empire, because they are not order, but something full of disorder.

If we exclude the miracles brought by the power of Chaos and the uncertainty that runs deep in its bones, as long as those things cannot appear under the light of the Emperor, then the combat effectiveness of the power of Chaos is actually lower than people imagine.

A group of lunatics gathered together for profit are worthless. This has been the case since ancient times.

Taylor also immediately began to mobilize his own troops. Part of the Damocles fleet quickly rushed out of the remains of Cadia and launched a seemingly suicidal attack.

However, order within chaos is Taylor's core tactic, or in other words, being rough but meticulous, and being fast but stable.

But no matter what the statement is, on the battlefield where giant warships fight each other, all vigilance is not insufficient and all worries may arise.

The assault was therefore preceded by a heavy Imperial bombardment, followed by a rapid assault by the battleships.

Then the Imperial warships sank into the enemy camp like an arrow, and their bombardment looked so ineffective and pitiful.

Of course, this is thanks to the fact that a lot of the technology Taylor has on hand comes from the Eldar or Tau, and their shield technology is indeed amazing at times.

For example, using a more inferior plasma shield to successfully resist the Empire's powerful ships and cannons is still amazing even now.

And with the Emperor above him, Taylor's Damocles smashed into a Chaos destroyer like an arrow, spreading a torrent of foul sparks and disgusting, deadly toxins.

This warship belongs to the Kind Father, who is also the god with the worst relationship with Taylor.

Of course, this scene was quite beautiful. Even the high temperature and artillery fire could not completely clear the curse and power of the kind father in an instant. Those toxins and curses flew everywhere and even began to infect friendly ships.

Those splashed on Taylor's warships will be purified by the Emperor's power before they can take effect. This is why the loving father has always disliked Taylor.

Compared to Celestine who gathered his strength and transformed it into a state similar to that of a demon, Taylor's power was more similar to what the Emperor had displayed during the Plague War.

Perhaps because its origins lie in combating Plague Fleets, Taylor's methods proved to be incredibly effective against them. It now appears that Abaddon understands the characteristics of Chaos Space Marines very well, and he effectively organized his armies, such as the resolute Death Guard, who are in fact the best vanguards and attackers in the entire universe.

This is a little-known fact, but their tenacity and resilience do have considerable value for money.

As luck would have it, they encountered Taylor's fleet, and their so-called proud perseverance became as ridiculous as butter.

After breaking through the Patriarchal fleet in front, what remained were Khorne's warships. Those ships had quite comprehensive combat capabilities, but their attack range was insufficient.

To be precise, they are inferior to the Imperial battleships. After all, they are equipped with dark matter torpedoes, so they can shoot at a long distance and effectively destroy the enemy.

This was a rare and uncommon occurrence, even for Chaos, and so they quickly gained an unexpected advantage.

Huge advantage.

The area was even cleared at one point, which could be said to have created unique conditions for Taylor's Damocles to face Abaddon's Spirit of Vengeance.

Obviously this was a pleasant surprise, but Taylor would seize this surprise.

He is unreasonable and doesn't care about so-called martial ethics. He just opens fire as soon as he gets close to the enemy.

The Damocles, enhanced with many forbidden technologies, looks ordinary, but in fact it has dark matter weapons and molecular shields of the Eldar, artificial intelligence of the Tau and resource regeneration capabilities and damage control systems of the Ork.

Let's put it this way, the cruiser-class Damocles already has combat capabilities comparable to the Glorious Queen class, and may even be better in maneuverability and destructive power.

It’s just that the various metaphysical bonuses on armor and ships are really not much, or insufficient.

It now seemed that the Damocles had the upper hand, and Taylor was on the verge of victory.

He prepared dark matter torpedoes and deadly light spears. If such weapons and equipment hit accurately, even Abaddon would be killed or injured.

But Abaddon is the Warmaster appointed by the Chaos Gods after all, and his strength is actually not bad, plus he has a Lunyu-class warship like the Spirit of Vengeance.

The battleship, which had been stained with the blood of countless primarchs, had become spiritual and made an abnormal rudder movement just before the torpedo hit it.

The success of this attack made the lances and torpedoes a joke, as the lances missed the core area and the torpedoes were completely avoided.

Now that the Spirit of Vengeance had not yet locked onto the Damocles, Taylor was immediately ready to deploy all the warships at his disposal.

Several elite cruisers were ready, aimed, and began firing salvos.

The light from the exploding shells is comparable to that of a star, and the light spears are even more terrifying.

In an instant, one side of the Vengeful Spirit was paralyzed, about two-thirds of the hull, and the Glorious Queen class lived up to its reputation and still did not sink under the current circumstances.

Taylor simply turned on the communicator calmly and spoke condescendingly to Abaddon.

"Either you take your army and leave, or you sink!"
