As if to prove that it still had combat capability, the Dreadnought's melta cannon, with only one muzzle left, fired again, clearing a retreat route for Tiberus and his personal guards who were still charging into the greenskin group.

"Reorganize the defense."

Seeing that the Fearless Elder was still alive, Tiberus restrained his murderous aura, and his rebounding power claws cut off the head of an armed boss. He began to retreat with his personal guards.

The battle situation is not optimistic, and the Great Shark needs to save more energy to deal with the situation that may become more severe in the future.

"Go help the weepers..."

Compared to the Carcharhinans who brought all their weapons with them, the battle barge that the Weepers came on was not their mothership, and they only had five companies of personnel. Facing the increasingly fierce offensive of the greenskins, it was very difficult for them to hold on.

"Beacon dropped, airspace cleared."

A strange yet familiar voice was connected to the battlefield communication, and a carrier-based aircraft with strange appearance but powerful firepower flew across the sky.

The green-skinned orcs' gun attack aircraft that had control of the air were torn apart by lasers, and beacons like seeds were scattered on the battlefield.

"Notice, support is arriving soon. Please stay away from the red beacon and guard the blue beacon."

"Repeat, announcement, support is arriving soon, please stay away from the red beacon and guard the blue beacon."

Following the broadcast announcement, the universe suddenly lit up.

"By the Emperor...Oh my God..."

The fearless elder lying on his back in the crater wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was hallucinating, but the fearless mech with only the melta cannon left could not satisfy his idea.

...

Chapter 333 The Fleet Arrives

"Thank you for your support. Please enter the command link and reduce the number of alien warships from the flank, or..."

Because Si Ye split up the fleet, the first ones to complete the jump and enter the Velo system were only three cruisers in Moon-class shells.

However, as the Orc fleet gradually encircled the Imperial Navy fleet and the battle situation became increasingly severe, the three Moon-class ships that could be used as main battleships were still a force that could temporarily alleviate the disadvantage in the battle situation.

The naval commander was overjoyed. Having three intact Moon-class cruisers as firepower supplement could also buy time for the shields of those large ships in the navy whose void shields were overloaded to restart. Considering the toughness of the warships of the Human Empire, as long as the void shields could be restarted, most of their combat effectiveness could be restored.

"Activate shielding force field, clear low-Earth orbit, and deploy carrier-based aircraft."

However, the cruisers of the Star Empire did not accept the orders of the naval commander. After transmitting the battle data within the galaxy back to the combat host, they received new tasks.

Forcefully pass through the planet's low-Earth orbit, use carrier-based aircraft to clear the airspace within the planet's atmosphere, and deliver transmission beacons and fire guidance beacons.

The combined shield of the three cruisers was not very strong, but the Orc fleet's attention was mostly focused on the Imperial Navy fleet. There was no concentrated fire, and the damage caused by some scattered firepower to the shield was not as fast as the shield's automatic return fire.

The cruiser, despite the firepower of the orc warships, directly cut into the low-Earth orbit of the fortress world. While the hangars continued to launch carrier-based aircraft, the close-in defense weapons also continued to fire at the interior of the planet's atmosphere, destroying the green-skinned orcs' atmospheric flying vehicles one by one.

As red and blue beacons fell densely, the cruiser cut out of low-Earth orbit and issued a notice to the remaining Imperial Navy fleet:

"The main force of the Elfendor Dynasty fleet is about to enter. To avoid accidental casualties, the naval fleet please quickly restart the engines and retreat to Mandeville Point without hesitation."

retreat?

The naval commander looked at the huge orc fleet that had completed the encirclement of the naval fleet. He didn't understand what the Elfendor Dynasty fleet that came out of nowhere was thinking.

Not only are they unwilling to connect to the command link and accept commands, but they also give blind commands.

The navy fleet has now been surrounded by orc warships, and a large number of warships have had to shut down their thrusters in exchange for more energy redundancy to maintain the operation of the shield.

If the engines were started now, the already overloaded shields of most of the warships would be extinguished, and without the shields' cover and protection, the warships would face the orcs' overwhelming firepower and crazy boarding attacks.

"We will open a passage for the naval fleet. Please restart the engines quickly."

After leaving the planet's low-Earth orbit, the space racing cruiser dropped a batch of large beacons in the planet's outer orbit to induce the warship to jump.

When the beacon signal appeared, the warships formed as ground support began to receive the induction signal and jumped into the galaxy together with the main combat fleet.

"Are you kidding me..."

The naval commander wanted to curse, but suddenly, the augury array of his flagship suddenly let out a sharp hissing sound, and the external observation equipment could clearly see that the Velo galaxy lit up.

Infernal Ray

As soon as it jumped into the Velo system, the Titan main guns from [Boundless Mountains] completed their firing preparations based on the battlefield data collected by the vanguard cruiser.

A torrent of golden high-energy particles illuminated the entire galaxy. This was not a large laser pointer in the game, but a real torrent of death.

Under the exquisite control of the fire control host, the Purgatory Rays perfectly passed through the naval fleet's interwoven defense circles, and after burning a batch of auguries, they directly penetrated the orc warships to form an encirclement.

Even the Orc warships with powerful waaaagh force field shields could not hold out for more than a second in the face of the golden high-energy particle torrent and were quickly washed into a fireball. The impact of the high-energy particles also paralyzed the surrounding Orc warships, and a relatively spacious passage was opened.

"The Elfendor Dynasty fleet has completed its transmission and is now taking over the battlefield..."

The warships of the Star Empire have an absolute advantage in terms of range. After the Purgatory Rays completed a firing, overwhelming plasma, missiles and light beams hit the Orc fleet densely, almost instantly evaporating all the warships on the flanks of the Orc fleet.

The encirclement was broken, and a stronger and more domineering opponent appeared on the battlefield. The warlike orcs decisively began to maneuver the warships to turn and began to reassemble the fleet to fight against the Star Empire.

The Waaaagh force field can indeed enhance the weapons and equipment of the green-skinned orcs to a certain extent, but an increase of 10% or 20% is the limit. In the face of the conventional weapon range of the Star Empire that can strike from one end of the galaxy to the other, the orcs' fearless charge did not gain any results except for suffering greater losses.

Seeing this situation, Werboss, who was hiding in boulders or huge garbage ships, ordered the Orc fleet to move back to the near-Earth orbit of the Fortress World, intending to repeat his old tricks and use the pressure on the ground as a bargaining chip to force the newly reinforced human fleet to fight the Orcs head-on.

But soon, Warboss discovered that there was a small flaw in its plan.

That is the newly emerged human fleet. Their warships have a really long range.

In order to force the fleet to get closer as much as possible, Warboss deliberately moved the Orc fleet a little further to the back of the fortress world, hoping to shorten the distance between the two fleets as much as possible.

But the Star Empire's fleet still stayed at the position where it had just jumped out, with plasma and electric arcs flashing continuously. Even though the two sides were separated by a distance twice the maximum range of the Human Empire's large light spear array, they were still able to accurately ignite the Orc warships that could not hide in the shadows of the planet into clusters of sparks.

“…Emperor, is that the Queen of Glory…”

The orc warships were driven away, and the navy fleet finally got a chance to catch its breath. First, they restarted the engines and repaired the damage to the warships, and then assisted the warships that were boarded to clear the greenskins. The warships that were completely paralyzed also needed to send transport planes to pick up the survivors on them.

In the midst of his busy schedule, the naval commander kept expressing admiration as he watched the Elfindo Dynasty fleet, which changed the offensive and defensive situation just by appearing on the scene.

For a naval officer, the most powerful warship of the human empire, the Glorious Queen class, is the lifelong pursuit of every captain. Of course, it would be even better if he could command it personally.

Usadel's cruiser had also been attacked by greenskins' boarding torpedoes in the previous battle, but as a warship of the Inquisition, there were all kinds of monsters inside the cabin.

The greenskin crashed into the cabin where Usadel stored the filthy demonic weapons with the torpedo. Before they could cause any effective damage, because they lost the protection of the powerful waaagh force field, the stimulated demonic weapons sucked the invading greenskin boy half to death, and were completely cleaned up by Usadel who arrived.

"Your Excellency, Inquisitor Usadr..."

A sonic array communication was connected to the battleship's private channel. Usadel stomped on the head of a green-skinned boy and signaled the stormtroopers holding promethium flamethrowers behind him to clean up the green-skinned corpses and demonic magic weapons. He turned and walked out of the cabin and returned to the bridge to answer the communication.

"It's me, and you are."

"This is the Ministry of Justice... The fleet of warships coming to support us. Could it be the same Elfendor Rogue Trader Family that accused the Border Forge World of rebellion in the previous astrologer message..."

So the Ministry of Justice fleet was pulled to the Velo system to fight against the aliens?

Usadel subconsciously wanted to use the auspicious instrument to confirm some information about the Ministry of Justice warship, but due to repeated high-energy reaction shock overload, the auspicious instrument on his warship was already in a semi-scrapped state, randomly stirring up incomprehensible patches and noise.

Usadr curled his lips. The Emperor's agent's fleet was indeed powerful, but it was not very friendly to the Auspicious Instrument.

"The fleet you see is the dynastic fleet of the Elfendor Dynasty."

After a pause, Usadel continued to tell the breaking news.

"The charges against the Border Forge World have also been resolved. Supervisor Fusafaran suffered from the corruption of the Warp and performed a blasphemous ritual on the Border Forge World. He has now been tried. The Warp pollution of the Forge World has been cleansed. The Border Forge World is now under the command of the Rogue Traders."

The Ministry of Justice was still wondering why such a powerful Rogue Trader suddenly appeared in the Edge Expansion Area, but the news of Usadel coming soon after made everyone on the Ministry of Justice ship break out in cold sweats.

"what?"

...

Chapter 334 The Emperor's Greetings

Compared to the hesitation of the navy fleet in space towards Night's orders.

The man-eating sharks on the ground have witnessed with their own eyes the strength of Si Ye's fleet and the power of golden psychic energy to burn planets, and they have the utmost respect for Si Ye's orders.

"Take the elders and let the surrounding mortal troops follow!"

Tiberus led the Terminator Squad of the First Company to cover the rear, while the rest of the Sharks hurriedly lifted up the battered Contemptor Dreadnought and ran towards the nearest blue beacon.

"What! What! Don't you want the position anymore?"

The position that they had just defended with great effort was about to be abandoned because of a single word from the so-called reinforcements. Although the Fearless Elder was very curious about what the thing that illuminated the universe was, he found it difficult to accept giving up the position that he had fought so hard to defend.

"The Emperor... The Rogue Trader's support has arrived. We must act quickly according to his instructions."

Bel-Shar was also in the queue carrying the Fearless Elder. He held a grenade rifle in one hand and a chainsaw sword in the other, clearing the scattered greenskins around him and answering questions for the Fearless Elder.

"Even support won't make us give up our positions. You all know how difficult it is to retake those places once they're lost."

Because he was being carried, the limited vision of the Dreadnought mecha itself forced the Dreadnought Elder to look up at the sky. He was amazed at how swift and efficient those peculiarly shaped carrier-based aircraft were. They quickly cleared the sky above the fortress from the green-skinned aircraft that had been circling. A large number of red and blue beacon beams shot straight into the sky, and it was unknown what they were going to lure down.

"The Rogue Trader's orders must have a purpose!"

Bel-Shar's confident words made the Fearless Elder stunned. He trusted this Rogue Trader so much. It seemed that the sudden change of clothes of the guys in the regiment must be related to this Rogue Trader. After the battle was over, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.

"Wailers, didn't you hear the communication? Quickly head to the blue beacon!"

Entering the core area of ​​the fortress where blue beacons were densely located, Bel-Shar saw a group of mustard yellow-painted Space Marines still defending some key positions. He hurriedly contacted the group of somewhat stubborn Weepers through the wide-area sound array.

"This support order is a bit strange. The signal source isn't from the naval fleet, and the blue beacons are all located near the fortress core. This means we'll lose a lot of ground. Is that okay?"

The Weepers are also a chapter that has long been active on the edge of the Empire's territory. Because they are far away from their parent chapter, the Blood Angels, the equipment of the Weepers is very standardized.

Moreover, compared to the poor Carcharhinus who have a lot of holy relics, in the Lamenters, a melta weapon or plasma weapon is a rare commodity.

Coupled with the scarcity of ground armor, the result was that when facing the same cluster of green armor, the Sharks could rely on the melta weapons to deal with one or two, while the Lamenters, without enough anti-carrier weapons, could only rely on the firepower delivery of the Astra Militarum armored squadron.

The ocean formed by the green-skinned orcs is boundless. Several important nodes in the fortress world require heavy firepower to keep firing continuously. There are very few armored teams that can provide continuous fire support for the Weepers, which makes the situation of the Weepers even more difficult.

But even though there have been casualties, the Lamenters still stand as the spearhead at the forefront of the defense line, covering the Astra Militarum troops in the rear.

"No problem. I guarantee by the reputation of the Carcharodon Regiment that the Rogue Trader is very reliable. Hurry and cover the frontline troops as they reach the blue beacon!"

"...I understand. Second Company, Third Company, cover the Astra Militarum Army's retreat!"

After roughly estimating the distance and battle situation, the Lamenters began to call on the surrounding Astra Militarum troops to disperse and retreat to several blue beacon positions. After obtaining the consent of the fortress world lord, the Astra Militarum began to provide echelon cover and retreat to the blue beacon positions in an orderly manner.

"When will the reinforcements arrive? We don't have many reserves left. Besides, if we gather together, those greenskin bastards can drop a few more meteorites and we'll all be finished."

The voice of the Astra Militarum Fortress Lord was somewhat anxious. Although concentrating the troops together effectively increased the intensity of firepower, it also indirectly increased the risk of being wiped out. If orc boulders were dropped from the planet's orbit again, the severely damaged fortress world's air defense firepower would be unable to intercept them.
