The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"It's too late to explain. What you're doing will only lead to the deaths of hundreds of millions of soldiers in vain!" Everyone had long expected that the defenders here would not listen to advice. Since the other party wants to die so much, let them learn a lesson first.

"Sir, the Emperor-class battleship has disappeared!"

In the vision and radar of the Flaris defenders, the Silver Sword suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and the Imperial warship lost its target in an instant.

"Disappeared, how is that possible?"

The commander ordered a search, but the navy tried every means to find no trace of the Emperor-class battleship, as if what had appeared before was just an illusion.

Shortly after stopping the search, the reconnaissance fleet reported another piece of news to the garrison commander:

"Sir, we have found traces of the Chaos Fleet!"

"Prepare for battle, and show these traitors the power of our Imperial Navy."

However, the defenders of Vlaris did not wait for the Chaos fleet to approach. The commander asked the scouts ahead:

"Where are the traitors? Why haven't they attacked yet?"

"I don't know, my lord. The traitor stopped just out of our range."

"Out of range, what are they going to do?"

While the commander was puzzled, two Blackstone fortresses arrived in front of the Chaos fleet. Soon, energy lights lit up on the fortresses, and the beams emitted from the two fortresses merged into one. A terrifying warp energy shot directly at Ferraris II, and this was the last scene the commander saw.

The defenses of the Flaris defenders were easily torn apart by this warp energy beam, and the Imperial Navy warships in the range were eliminated like a piece of cake, but strangely, the hook that was supposed to hit Flaris II directly did not work and was deflected when it was about to hit. Although a part of the planet's surface was still hit, Flaris II was not completely destroyed, and most of the defenders on it were still safe.

Abaddon was surprised by this, but he only thought it was a small mistake, because the Blackstone Fortress still demonstrated its power. The battle was over before it even began. This was another victory for the Great Plunderer.

The Chaos fleet began to advance, ready to take over Blackstone One and clear out the remaining Imperial fleet. Without the protection of orbital firepower, Ferraris would be their prey.

It was also at this time that the Blue Silver Sword appeared among the remaining Imperial fleet, and the 'Void Shield' surrounding the ship also glowed with abnormal colors.

Everyone silenced the attack alarm on the Blue Silver Sword and muttered to themselves:

"Oh, this is troublesome~"

Chapter 100 Evacuation

The terrifying power of the Blackstone Fortress shattered the confidence of the remaining fleet of Fularis, and when these survivors saw the strange Emperor-class battleship appear where the beam was deflected, they immediately understood what had happened.

"Gather the remaining fleet!"

The Imperial battleship received the message from the Emperor-class battleship, and they no longer asked about the other party's identity because this might be their last straw.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the devastated scene. If Gloria hadn't used the Blue Silver Sword to forcibly deflect the trajectory of the subspace beam, the remaining fleet and the Ferraris II would not have been saved.

Using the function of one Blackstone Fortress to resist the combined beams of two Blackstone Fortresses is the best result everyone can achieve at the moment. If they resist from the beginning, even Gloria will not be able to withstand it. Even if Abaddon uses the Blackstone Fortress poorly, it is the crystallization of technology of the former overlord of the galaxy, and it must be respected now.

A communication came from the captain of a frigate, asking everyone what they should do now. With the remaining strength of Flaris, even with the addition of Emperor-class battleships, they would not be able to stop the offensive of the Chaos fleet.

Everyone was also discussing what to do next. They could cover the evacuation of the remaining fleet, but what about the people on the Ferraris II? They had no way to evacuate such a large number of defenders at once, and the arrival of reinforcements was nowhere in sight.

"No, maybe there is a way."

Everyone looked at Blackstone One, which was parked not far from Ferraris Two. Since Abaddon could use Blackstone Fortress to attack, why didn't they use Blackstone Fortress to counterattack?

But the problem is that Abaddon has two artifacts that control Blackstone Fortress. It will take Gloria some time to modify the permissions of Blackstone Fortress, but she doesn't have so much time to change the permissions now. Others will take advantage of her.

Apu: "Unless we can find a way to delay them, we definitely won't have enough time."

Ah Wei: "Then you have to come up with a feasible solution? Are you going to let the remaining fleet die? They are not enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth."

When everyone was anxious, Gloria offered a solution:

"There is still a way. Don't forget that we have more than just the Empire's technology to use."

The distance between the Chaos Fleet and the remnants of the Imperial Army was constantly closing, and Abaddon also noticed the Emperor-class battleships that appeared in the Imperial Fleet.

"Emperor-class battleship?"

Abaddon felt strange. They had not seen any trace of this Emperor-class battleship before, and the location of this battleship reminded Abaddon of a deflected warp beam. But was it possible for a battleship to do such a thing?

Abaddon soon stopped thinking about these things. What's the big deal about the Emperor-class battleship? It's just a battleship. Can it stop the Chaos Warmaster who has the planet killer and the Blackstone Fortress?

"Advance at full speed and turn all enemies that stand in our way into cosmic dust!" Abaddon ordered.

"Master Warmaster, we've detected enemy activity on the flank! It's massive!"

The frigates on the side of the Chaos fleet detected that a large Imperial fleet had appeared on their side, but was currently out of range.

"Could it be the main fleet of the Gothic Sector? Impossible, there is no way they can get here in such a short time." Abaddon did not believe that the Empire could be so efficient, but the radar did detect the Empire's warships.

Abaddon wanted to send the frigates to confirm the authenticity of the Imperial fleet, when an explosion occurred on the hull of one of their frigates, and a turret was destroyed by the sudden attack.

"Master Warmaster, we are under attack!"

"What!? Didn't they say it was still out of range?"

Within minutes, explosions occurred on more frigates. Although the damage was not serious, it was certain that they were attacks from the Imperial fleet.

Abaddon frowned. Could it be that the Gothic Sector fleet had mastered some unknown technology? But no matter what, he could no longer ignore the Imperial fleet in the distance.

"The fleet will turn around. Let's deal with the enemy's main force first."

The remaining defenders of Flariss pose no threat to the Chaos fleet, and Abaddon has also used an artifact to shut down the energy system of Blackstone One, so there is no need to worry about the duck in the mouth flying away.

If the Chaos Fleet can defeat the main force of the Gothic Fleet here, then the remaining fortresses will also be captured by Abaddon, and then the Empire will no longer be able to stop the Chaos Warmaster's long-term plan.

But Abaddon didn't know that the person who launched the attack on the Chaos fleet was right next to them.

Xianyu, Awei and Eryu are leading a team of space war titans to cause trouble in the Chaos Fleet. With the stealth protection provided by Gloria, they will not be discovered by the Chaos Fleet.

"The induction is complete. You guys need to come quickly. We can't fool Abaddon for too long here." Xianyu said in the communication.

The three men's purpose was not to cause any damage to the Chaos Fleet, they just wanted to divert the Chaos Fleet's attention and deal with the 'Imperial Fleet' on the side.

"I'm already on my way."

Apu, who was in Blackstone No. 1, was rushing towards the control center of Blackstone Fortress at full speed in stealth mode. The Blackstone Fortress, which had lost its energy, was in a panic at this time. This situation also gave Apu an opportunity, allowing him to have a smooth journey.

On the other side, Ou Ge explained the situation to the remaining Imperial Navy. The reinforcements they expected did not arrive, and what they had to do now was to quickly evacuate the garrison on Ferraris II, and evacuate as many as possible.

After the Chaos Fleet turned, several frigates entered the firing range of the 'Imperial Fleet' as the vanguard. Finding that the enemy did not launch an attack immediately, the frigates moved forward all the way to the location of the 'Imperial Fleet'. They fired at the 'Imperial Fleet', but found that the artillery fire went directly through the enemy ships.

"These enemies are fake!"

The frigate immediately sent this information to the Chaos Fleet, but by then it had been quite some time since the Chaos Fleet turned around.

"We've been fooled!" Abaddon reacted and the Chaos fleet turned again, but this had already wasted a lot of their time.

The "Imperial Fleet" that appeared in the distance from the Chaos Fleet was just an illusion created by Gloria to delay time. Only one Sword-class frigate was real.

After Gloria gave the solution, he immediately separated the Sword-class frigate that had been absorbed before in a hidden state, rushed to this area at superluminal speed, and created the illusion of the "Imperial Fleet" under Luochen's control.

"Phew, I was scared to death."

Luochen was also sweating. If Abaddon used the Blackstone Fortress to attack the "Imperial Fleet" again, he would be in trouble.

It was also thanks to Abaddon Nine Dragons… After fighting with the power of the Four Gods for so long, his mind might not be clear. If he was smarter, he wouldn’t have been fooled by this method.

During this time, Apu also plugged the terminal into the control panel of the Blackstone Fortress. Gloria temporarily lifted Abaddon's control over the Blackstone Fortress as quickly as possible and restored its energy supply.

Now it was everyone's turn to give Abaddon a little surprise.

"How is that possible? Blackstone Fortress..."

Abaddon, who was always keeping an eye on the Blackstone Fortress, immediately noticed that Blackstone One had regained power. Feeling that something was wrong, he ordered his two Blackstone Fortresses to move ahead of the fleet.

"That's very cautious, but how are you going to respond next?" Brother Ou said, looking at the Chaos Fleet.

The same light as when the two Blackstone Fortresses launched the attack lit up on Blackstone No. 1. Two warp beams were emitted from Blackstone No. 1 and the Silver Sword respectively, and after converging into a beam, they shot directly at the Chaos fleet.

"What!?"

When Abaddon discovered the abnormality of Blackstone One, he also activated his two Blackstone Fortresses, but he was one step too late and failed to completely intercept the subspace beam emitted by Blackstone One.

Part of the Chaos fleet was hit by the aftermath of the light beam. The nearest frigate was directly destroyed, and the ships further behind also suffered varying degrees of damage.

The attack by Blackstone One brought the Chaos fleet to a screeching halt once again, and Abaddon received 'cordially greetings' from various warbands within the fleet.

Didn't you, Abaddon, say that Blackstone Fortress was under your control? So what's going on now?

This forced Abaddon to spend more time reassuring his allies, saying that it was just an accident and that the Zombie King's slaves would never be able to grasp the secrets of the Blackstone Fortress, and that the situation was still under his control.

Abaddon was right. Due to the urgency of time, Gloria could only control the Blackstone Fortress to fire a warp beam. After firing this beam, Blackstone One came to a standstill again. However, it was enough for the remaining defenders in Ferraris to evacuate. Most of the troops on Blackstone One and Ferraris Two had already entered the transport ships and evacuated the Ferraris system together with the remaining Imperial fleet. Even if the Chaos fleet wanted to chase them, it could not.

After returning to the Silver Sword, everyone withdrew from the Ferraris Galaxy. They could not take the Black Stone Fortress with them, but they only temporarily placed it in Abaddon's hands. They would take it back sooner or later.

Abaddon was displeased with the withdrawal of the Imperial Fleet, but his goal was the Blackstone Fortress. As long as the Blackstone Fortress was not taken away, the Imperial Fleet could escape if it wanted.

"There's a problem with that Emperor-class battleship." Abaddon began to think about what had happened before and after. Before the Emperor-class battleship appeared, the Chaos fleet had not encountered so many problems.

The inexplicable attack, the phantom of the Imperial fleet, and the sudden launch of Blackstone No. 1. Abaddon also noticed that the Emperor-class battleship was the one that had an energy connection with Blackstone No. 1.

"Who is it?"

Abaddon took note of this matter. He would find out the truth later, but now he had to take over the third Blackstone Fortress, formulate a new attack plan, and satisfy the appetite of his allies...

The Chaos Alliance has never been a monolithic entity. The reason why Abaddon was able to unite these guys of different beliefs was because he made corresponding promises. Now that the three Blackstone Fortresses are in hand and the attack on the Gothic Sector has temporarily come to an end, it is time to fulfill his promise to these guys.

----

As usual, the Blue Silver Sword first performed a short-distance subspace jump, and then switched to superluminal speed in the real universe. When they arrived near the naval headquarters in the Gothic star zone, everyone stopped and began to discuss the next plan.

After what happened in the Ferraris system, everyone believed that the situation in the Gothic Sector could not be reversed by one's own strength. If they wanted to fight against Abaddon's Chaos Fleet, they would need to join forces with the Imperial Navy. Moreover, they were also eyeing the three Blackstone Fortresses in the hands of the Imperial Navy.

"If we want to join forces with the Imperial Navy, we have to explain the origin of the Emperor-class battleships," said Brother Ou.

This has been mentioned many times. The current Empire does not allow the Astartes to own warships larger than battle barges, but that is another matter.

Luochen: "Just say it was bestowed by the former Primarch. Emperor-level is nothing. Even the Nemesis Chapter, a sub-regiment, has the Queen of Glory."

Apu: "But the question is how to explain it properly. The capabilities we demonstrated are not what an Emperor-class battleship should have."

Deflecting the light beams of the Blackstone Fortress and jointly attacking the Chaos Fleet with Blackstone No. 1, all of this was seen by the remaining fleet of Flaris.

Xianyu: "Isn't it easy to explain? It's the power of the emperor. If you don't believe me, go ask the yellow-skinned man."

Facing a powerful enemy, having a reasonable reason is enough. If the Gothic fleet really wants to settle accounts with everyone, everyone can still escape by then.

Ah Wei: "Then how do we explain these 'Titans' of ours? They will definitely be unveiled to the Imperial Navy later."

Brother Ou: "This is easy to explain. When the time comes, we can all stick to one story and say this is a relic from ancient times. If the oil man doubts it, we can deny it. At worst, we can give him one and let him study it on his own."

With Gloria's technical encryption, the Oil Man can at most research some non-core technologies from these space war 'Titans'. Even if the Oil Man really figures it out, given the Oil Man's nature, they will have to haggle over these technologies for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Eryu: "Have you thought of any names for these Titans?"

Salted Fish: "How about a Mobius Titan?"

Luochen: "Just transliterate it directly, I think it's okay."

The Mobius-class Titan has specifications between the War Dog and Predator classes. Its technology supports the use of this type of Titan in space, and its number is extremely rare.

The matter regarding these skin-covered Titans was decided, and then everyone waited outside the naval headquarters for the arrival of the remaining fleet of Ferraris.

After waiting for a while, Gloria reminded everyone that the remnants of Ferraris had returned to the Naval Headquarters.

"When do we go out?"

"No rush, let's first listen to how these navy describe us."

Chapter 101 Fleet! Fleet!

The remnants of the Flaris army reported what they had experienced to the Gothic Sector Commander-in-Chief, Imperial Navy Admiral Ravensborg. The news that the Chaos traitors destroyed the Flaris defenders with a single blow from the Blackstone Fortress also shocked Ravensborg. Before this, the Imperial Navy in the Gothic Sector had not imagined that the Blackstone Fortress had such power, and this would inevitably make the situation in the Gothic Sector even more serious.

Ravensburg was thinking about how to deal with the next attack from the Chaos fleet, but soon his attention was drawn to another piece of news:

"Before the battle began, you received a warning from an Emperor-class battleship manned by an Astartes?"

"Yes, if it weren't for the help of these Lords Astartes, I'm afraid none of us would be able to evacuate from Ferraris."

When the Emperor-class battleship disappeared for the first time, the defenders of Vularis thought that it was just a fake alarmist creation of the enemy. The real Astartes would not flee on the battlefield. But when the Blackstone Fortress defeated the defenders' defenses and the Emperor-class battleship reappeared to help the defenders deflect the light beam, allowing the Vularis II to survive, the remaining defenders realized that the enemy really wanted to save them and had always been by their side.

The Emperor-class battleship at the back and the Astartes on it used many methods to help the remaining fleet and the defenders on Ferraris II buy time to evacuate, so that they were able to return to headquarters alive.

"What is the name of the Astartes Chapter on the Emperor-class battleship?" Ravensborg asked. Putting aside why the Astartes had Emperor-class battleships, he needed to know the identity of this chapter.

"They call themselves the Nebula Hammer."

"Nebula Hammer!?"
