This is an extremely risky way of playing. The prismatic formation can certainly reduce the coverage area of attack, but it will also reduce the output capacity of one's own warships.
You should know that the firepower output of most warships, whether of the Empire or the Rebels, is mainly concentrated on the sides. The slender hull measured in kilometers can carry a large number of macro cannons and light spear arrays, while the bow position can usually only carry one or two nova cannons.
Sigismund's fleet was like an extremely sharp scalpel, cutting into the Iron Warriors' fleet with precision. This was due to the fact that the rebels had to do their best to dodge the giant fragments and perform some extremely thrilling tactical evasive maneuvers.
However, compared to the Imperial Fists' naval guns, the fragments behind them might be more deadly. When the mass of the fragments reaches a certain limit, they will become more unstoppable and terrifying than any other weapons.
Sigismund was in command of his flagship, the Teardrop, while his lieutenant Perius commanded the Ophelia and Fafnir Lane was in command of the Persephone. The three most powerful warships searched for the enemy's flagship in order to complete the decapitation operation.
Three experienced Imperial Fists commanders controlled the warships to besiege the Fire Gorgon battlecruiser from different directions. They first overloaded the opponent's void shield with macro cannons, and then released light spears with all their strength to compress the opponent's evasive space.
The truly fatal killing move hit the opponent's tail engine, and the tragic chain reaction and torpedo explosion tore apart the entire battleship. Under this destructive blow from the inside out, this tough battleship soon fell into the cold space.
For a warship, the most dangerous attack is the torpedo. Light spears and macro cannons can rely on the warship's thick armor for defense, but torpedoes are best at breaking through the defense and releasing all their lethality in the enclosed space inside.
"The weakness of these sons of Perturabo is more serious than we imagined." Sigismund observed this as he surveyed the battlefield.
"They are too slow and their formation is too loose. Those experienced veterans died in the war long ago, and now the warships are controlled by some rookie recruits." Perius laughed.
After piercing into the Iron Warriors' fleet, the two sides once again returned to a complicated situation of you in me and I in you. The naval guns never stopped for a moment, and all the ammunition and energy were transformed into the purest anger and fired out.
The Imperial Fists were reaping the traitors, and battleship after battleship was blown into atoms in the glow of fusion flames. The Emperor's wrath fell upon the heads of the traitors, and everyone knew that the great Lord of Mankind was watching this scene on Terra.
The galaxy is burning.
"We found him. The flagship where the warsmith is located, approach it immediately. Let the Templars drive the fast strike cruiser to infiltrate and cut off the traitor's head!"
Sigismund roared that if he was not required to take command, he would be the first to rush forward and chop off the enemy's head.
"Leave it to me, Commander." Iron Man Adam's voice sounded.
Ever since Sigismund led the fleet to launch a counterattack, Adam has remained quiet, using his extremely powerful logic matrix to calculate the fleet's trajectory.
The Imperial fleet was able to penetrate the enemy's defenses so thrillingly, partly because of Adam, who guided the warship's machine spirit in the right direction.
And now, Adam has volunteered, and he is guarded by a group of elite war iron men, each of whom is equipped with a powerful war weapon made of refined gold.
He held two finely crafted power swords in his hands, and two extra arms sprouted from his shoulders, each holding a plasma launcher and a melta weapon.
"This is an operation with a very high risk factor, so let us do it."
"Your lives should not be wasted. Think of them as lives for your...Emperor."
Adam duly brought up the Emperor as an excuse, knowing that these Astartes revered the Emperor just as he revered Roche.
"Anyway, if we fail, we'll just lose a body, so why not let me try."
Sigismund hesitated for a second and agreed to Adam's request. One of the five strike cruisers then carried the Iron Man as an assault vanguard.
They passed through the wreckage of the enemy warship and approached the Warsmith's flagship.
The next second, Adam directly activated the teleportation ability left by Roche in his body, and the Iron Men directly launched a beaconless teleportation into the battleship.
A few unlucky iron men were unfortunately stuck in the walls of the battleship, but with the squirming of the metal, they directly reconstructed their bodies and became immune to the damage that could directly kill organic bodies.
All of Adam's weapon systems were activated, and a layer of transparent energy shield blocked his body. Under the protection of other iron men, he headed straight for the command bridge.
Their speed was so incredible that even the armored walls blocking their way or some energy pipelines were quickly disintegrated by their melta weapons.
Even the Iron Warriors who blocked his way were turned into corpses by Adam's Caliban swordsmanship inherited from Lion Johnson.
He is perfectly capable of using a power weapon in close combat while using his extra arm to unleash plasma and molten charges, multitasking with ease and instinct.
Most of the Iron Warriors were killed in just a few rounds at Adam's hands.
Occasionally, when he encountered one or two Iron Warriors who were capable of fighting with him, Adam would use his two extra arms to pull the triggers in close combat, and directly evaporate these respectable enemies with melta weapons and plasma rays.
According to Ryan Johnson, this is the essence of Caliban's swordsmanship, and he passed this essence to Adam without reservation.
In battle, there is no means that cannot be used, even using long-range weapons to launch a sneak attack, as long as it can achieve victory, it is a good method.
"Indeed, Lord Ryan's words are meaningful."
“I have grasped the essence.”
The muzzle of the melta gun and plasma weapon in Adam's hand was still emitting scorching heat, but the enemy had turned into a pitiful object similar to charcoal.
From seven steps away, the gun is faster; from seven steps away, the gun is both fast and accurate.
Not everyone has Sigismund's monstrous melee ability, and Caliban's swordsmanship has always been effective.
Chapter 601: The Real Steel Inside and Out
Adam and his iron men started a massacre inside the Iron Warriors' battleship. Perhaps his close combat ability was far inferior to that of a strong man like Sigismund, but his abundant martial firepower made the son of Perturabo suffer.
In Adam's opinion, the saturation fire bombing and precision weapon strikes that they were good at were always a little lacking.
No matter how strong your firepower is, can it be stronger than a war-type iron man equipped with a firepower module?
The Iron Warriors' weapons can only be equipped on their own power armor, and the precious space inside is occupied by the flesh and blood of the Astartes. How can they defeat the Iron Men who were born entirely for war?
As long as they need to, they can pile up heavy weapons even more crazily.
Even with Roche's current technical capabilities, he is fully capable of stuffing a Titan-level main weapon into Adam's body while reducing its size without reducing its power.
Moreover, the damage that the Iron Men can withstand is far beyond the reach of the Iron Warriors who claim to be made of steel inside and out. The existence of power armor is essentially to make up for the deficiencies of the flesh, and the Iron Men have no such worries at all.
Even if parts are broken, even the self-healing ability of liquid metal cannot repair them. The worst that can happen is to replace the parts directly. If even the parts are broken, the worst that can happen is to replace the body.
The Iron Warriors discovered in despair that facing this group of enemies who were truly "steel inside and out", it was difficult for them to gain an advantage in all the aspects that they were proud of.
"Switch equipment and resupply." Adam gave orders to the dozens of iron men around him. They started from the landing point without beacon transmission and fought all the way to the bridge. Even the live ammunition weapons they carried were completely emptied.
But this is not a big deal, the battlefield they are on can provide supplies itself.
I saw that a part of the liquid metal melted on the body of the war-type iron man. As soon as the liquid metal fell to the ground and touched the metal armor of the battleship itself, it immediately began to proliferate and replicate.
Countless nano-sized micro-robots continuously replicated themselves by devouring metal materials. These nano-robots were then linked together to form physical ammunition such as explosive bombs that could be used.
With these nanorobots providing precious battlefield supplies, Adam and his men were not troubled by ammunition problems at all.
More nanorobots combined together to form a special existence like misty white fog.
Whenever the Iron Warriors' heavy artillery attacks, these nano-insect swarms will immediately attach to the surface of the shells, gnawing at them at an extremely fast speed, decomposing the opponent's physical form.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Iron Warriors, these suddenly appearing iron men completely ignored their fire coverage, and the bombs disappeared into the fog, without even much feedback.
The enemy's heavy laser cannons also encountered a similar dilemma. The surface of each individual nano-insect swarm was covered with an extremely smooth reflective coating, and once the laser weapons entered the fog, they were immediately like entering the fog in the natural environment, and were constantly refracted and reflected.
Aside from melta weapons that can effectively kill these tiny nano-insect swarms, the other attack modes that the Iron Warriors excel in are directly locked and weakened.
And because the philosophy of the Iron Warriors Legion itself was incompatible with Chaos, they only opposed the Emperor and did not get involved with Chaos like other legions, so Adam didn't even encounter many effective psychic attacks.
The most effective way to deal with Iron Man is psychic attack. This non-material force can interfere with Adam's calculations and reactions, causing him to make mistakes that he should not have made.
As Adam and his decapitation troops advanced, the power supplies in the cabin were cut off one by one. In the deep darkness, only the screams and wails of the dying could be heard.
The dark environment has no effect on the Iron Man, but it will affect the vision and status of the mortals who are launching a counterattack on the battleship.
They could only feel heavy footsteps coming from the cabin, followed by scarlet spots of light approaching at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
After cleaning the cabin, Adam finally inserted a teleportation beacon on the deck below him, and the Imperial Fists on the strike cruiser immediately teleported here.
What awaited them was a dead silent cabin and the Iron Men who were finishing off the enemies and checking the bodies.
"You follow behind us. If there are any tough enemies, we will need your assistance."
After some contact, Adam gained more experience in dealing with the Imperial Fists. He realized that these humans would care extremely about "dignity" and "glory", and would even pay the price of blood for these.
His high emotional intelligence speech also played a corresponding role. The Imperial Fists did not refute Adam's arrangement. The decapitation troops led by the Iron Men and the Astartes formed a formation that gradually advanced.
With such luxurious configuration, the Iron Warriors on this flagship are in trouble. It's not that they are not strong, but the opponents they encounter are too restrained for them.
Finally, after completely crushing a team of Iron Warriors that blocked their way, Adam and the others arrived at the area where the command bridge was located.
The power system of this battleship had long been destroyed by Adam's invasion. On the bridge with flickering lights and sparks flying, the war blacksmith Voll Brown was waiting for the arrival of the imperial army.
He watched himself slowly lose control of the battleship. The calculating son of Perturabo knew very well that they could not resist the invasion of such an enemy.
Those terrible abomination iron men are more powerful than the iron ring robots around Gene-Father. Browne collected relevant combat data and came to this disappointing conclusion.
But even so, he was unwilling to withdraw. As a war blacksmith appointed by Perturabo, he still had his own pride.
Even if I die, I will bite off a piece of flesh from those bastards of the Imperial Fists.
Just as the two iron men rushed towards the warsmith, in just one second, Bronne used his superb body skills to dodge the four power swords attacking him.
His fighting ability was completely different from those recruits who died on the road. The power hammer in his hand shattered the iron man's arm joint at just the right angle.
Then, based on his analysis of the Iron Man's fighting habits from the video footage, he dodged the power sword's stranglehold again and directly blew off the Iron Man's head with a hammer.
Even the warriors of the Imperial Fists had to admire the awareness, strength and skills of the other side. These were veterans honed in a long career of warfare. Even if they were to take over, they would have to make sacrifices to defeat the other side.
But unfortunately, Adam would not stand aside as an indifferent spectator. He suddenly appeared behind Browne as if by teleportation, and then cut off his arms with the two power swords in his hands.
Blood immediately gushed out from the warsmith's huge wound, but he still did not surrender.
"Heart of steel, steel inside and out!"
Adam politely waited for the other to finish speaking, then chopped off his head with a clean blow.
The warsmith, Voll Bronn, became Adam's first named trophy.
The jets on the Iron Man's shoulders released blazing flames of promethium, burning the opponent's body to ashes.
"Heart of steel? We are truly made of steel inside and out!"
Chapter 602 Perturabo's Desire
"Heart of steel, steel inside and out. This has always been the creed and battle cry of the Iron Warriors."
"But when this sentence comes out of the Iron Man's mouth, it's obviously more realistic, but it sounds so weird..."
The Imperial Fists who came to carry out the decapitation mission felt speechless, as if they were just here to run along and witness how their old rivals were slaughtered by the Iron Man.
Even the elite Templars found it difficult to keep up with Adam's speed. In their eyes, Adam could only leave some afterimages.
It's not that he has mastered any special force-generating techniques, it's simply because Luo Xi shaped his eldest son according to the best standards.
He used the authority of Om Messiah to shape the best materials. Every part of Adam's body is the crystallization of cutting-edge technology.
