Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

He is a shield dog.

When the dust settled, the crystal construct alien did not see the carbonized enemy corpse, but an intact shield.

A giant golden imperial eagle emblem soars atop this elegant purple boarding shield.

The boarding shield is the same height as the Casca, and it is engraved with countless dazzling purple-gold petal patterns that are intricate and beautiful. Combined with the golden eagle wings in the upper right corner that seem ready to take flight, it adds a touch of elegance.

Holding a master-crafted boarding shield (made by Fugrim), Kasgar extends a flaming gun muzzle from a small firing port on the side.

hum!

The beam swept across the entire cramped landing pod in an instant. Before the attacking aliens could even lie in wait for the next wave of fire, they were already being mowed down by Casgar.

It turned into charred and melted silicon crystals, emitting a strong burnt smell.

We're shield dogs!

Wow!

Hiding in a corner, the Crystal Alien, having avoided Casca's first wave of fire, emitted a crisp symphony upon realizing its sneak attack had failed.

It wriggled its clumsy body, trying to escape by scattering around the complex terrain of the landing pod.

Casca really doesn't have a solution to this.

But his teammates do.

"Humph, want to escape?!"

A ghostly figure darted across the battlefield, his long dueling sword piercing the core of the alien crystal with precision several times before being swiftly withdrawn.

Within days of engaging them in battle, they had already figured out the enemy's vital points.

"Lucius."

"Pay attention to your position. The area ahead is still unexplored. Do not pursue too far."

Sol Tavetz, who was on guard to the left of Casca, offered a reminder.

Carrying a large amount of explosives and an engineering axe, he, as the team's support player, was currently adjusting his oracle to locate nearby enemies.

"Tsk, boring."

Upon hearing the other's advice, Lucius reluctantly withdrew from Casca's right hand and returned to the cover of the boarding shield.

As the raider in the squad, he uses his melee blade to eliminate anything that dares to stand in their way.

As for the last position, it was the Sword Saint Aqua who served as the mentor and brought up the rear.

On the one hand, she can observe the overall situation in a timely manner and provide support; on the other hand, she can also give the tactical squad cooperation advice, allowing these recruits to receive combat training.

Judging from their teamwork, the three little guys seem to be performing quite well.

Three recruits with potential comparable to hers.

If other legions manage to discover even one, they've already struck gold.

Three of them appeared here at once!

The thought of them becoming the new generation of the Third Legion, leading the Emperor's sons, filled Aqua with a sense of pride and anticipation.

"Open the door! Check the water meter!"

Kasgar kicked open the iron door of the alien warship and shouted.

"And you too, crack down on prostitution!"

He kicked open another door.

Okay, just pretend she didn't say anything.

Kaska, that guy, can never be serious for more than three seconds.

"There's nobody here. This area should be considered a safe zone."

"Based on our initial landing location, this place is still a long way from the location of the alien's control center."

As Casca walked along the narrow deck walkway, he analyzed the situation.

The interior of the alien warship is mainly constructed of crystal, and even the walking deck corridors are covered with countless prismatic spikes.

It would be far too time-consuming for their four-person team to search the enemy's control room step by step.

Although the alien warship is currently alone, as long as they can enter the portal, the Casca boarding squad will have to return to the alien's base with it!

We must seize command of the ship before the enemy rushes into the portal!

"Tavetz, deploy the new type of unmanned spider."

"Ah."

At Kasgar's command, dozens of small mechanical spiders poured out of the backpack behind Thor Tavitz.

They climbed along the irregular walls to enter other rooms, transmitting the information they discovered in real time.

Because of their small size, these mechanical spiders are difficult to spot, yet they can still enter enclosed rooms through various narrow pipes to investigate.

Based on the movement trajectory and camera module, the indoor terrain was mapped upon entry.

On the other hand, it can also achieve the same navigation information transmission effect as a servo skull.

This was, of course, a wonderful tool proposed by Kasgar and designed by Fugrim.

This was the first time we had ever used a boarding maneuver in actual combat, as we had never done it before.

"Tavetz, how's the result?"

"It's even better than I expected."

The taciturn Terran recruit replied, "This alien warship is somewhat different from the ones we usually see."

"The command center is not at the bow, but at the very center of the teardrop-shaped hull."

"Okay! Share the information with the other members who jumped ship."

"Now, continue heading towards the enemy's command center."

Above the orbit of a silent star.

"What was Casca's reply?! Are they still trying to seize control of the enemy's warships?"

The fleet commander, who was initially overjoyed by the great victory, gradually turned pale as time went on.

"Quickly inform them that if they cannot complete the mission of capturing the enemy warship, they should evacuate as soon as possible!"

[Your warship is very close to the portal. If you cannot capture the ship, please evacuate as soon as possible!]

[To reiterate! If you cannot capture the ship, evacuate as soon as possible!]

The sound array's broadcast echoed across the bridge of the Luna-class cruiser.

If Casca and the others were taken to the other side of the portal by the alien warship and never heard from again...

How is he going to explain this to Primarch Vograim?

He nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Chapter 42 A Wonderful Day Begins with a Board Jump (Part 2)

The void battle (referring to naval battles between space warships) was going well.

Although Casca is a relative, his command is clearly insightful.

This allowed him to seize the opportunity when the enemy warships' laser weapons were charging, thereby gaining air superiority, swiftly destroying a large number of enemy warships, and laying the foundation for victory in the void war.

Logically, the battle should have ended here.

But why!

But Casca, like a restless hunter, insisted on finding a good alien warship to board himself!

As the alien warship on the scanner, which everyone had boarded, drew ever closer to the portal, the fleet commander's heart tightened.

If they were afraid that the enemy ship would flee under normal circumstances, they only needed to shoot down the enemy's engine.

However, the structure of these crystal alien warships seemed particularly peculiar. Even though their ships, in conjunction with the information from the boarding personnel, completed the scan of the enemy ships, they still could not find the exact location of the enemy's engines.

By the Emperor!

Why do we have to switch sides?!

Wouldn't it be better to just blast the opponent into dust with light spears and macro cannons?

Is boarding a ship really that fun and cool?!

As the fleet commander, he utterly despised such barbaric acts as boarding.

"Sir."

"Perhaps Casca's way of thinking and behavior is indeed somewhat unconventional, but his actions always play a crucial role."

"Just like when he ordered a retreat to wait for the right opportunity, we were able to carry out a surprise attack on the alien warship."

The fleet commander recognized the speaker.

Corleone.

A young girl with exceptional ship piloting talent, now an apprentice to the captain of this Moon-class cruiser, stepped forward to offer her advice.

"I hope so."

He could only manage a wry smile.

"Here!"

"Follow!"

Kasgar slowly advanced his boarding shield, blasting one daring crystal alien after another into charred remains.

Despite the weight of his large shield, Casca's light and quick steps did not seem to slow him down.

As a Space Marine modified with significantly more resources, Kasgar didn't understand what made him different, but in terms of basic aspects such as reflexes and strength, he had far surpassed the level of an average Space Marine.

The power of numbers.

And jumping on board is indeed a very fun and cool thing!

"Soon, the central area of ​​the alien warship is behind this door."

"Tavetz, prepare the thermal explosives."

"Yes."

Casca and his tactical squad stopped in front of a huge, heavy crystal door.

Unlike the rugged crystal doors of other warships, the crystal doors were extremely smooth, and seemed to emit a faint glow, gently illuminating the deck.

Based on previous reconnaissance results and feedback from other boarding squad members, the rest of the alien warship has been explored, but the location of its engines and command center has not been found.

This is the core area of ​​the teardrop-shaped alien warship, and also the only area that has not yet been explored.

Even the mechanical spiders that Casca was so proud of could not find the entrance to this place.

And by process of elimination, their final destination can only be this place.

[The thermoplastic explosive has been placed and will detonate in ten seconds.]

【ten!】

【Nine!】

Seeing the huge explosive charge already pressed against the door, everyone quickly retreated and sought cover.

【one! 】

With a muffled explosion, Kasgar calmly raised his great shield and slowly made his way into the last room.

The structure here is different from other parts of the warship.

The extremely high dome is made of a very pure and transparent material, and is cut as neatly and magnificently as a jewel or diamond.

What you see on all four sides of this circular room is not colorful crystals, but everything that is happening outside of space.

It seemed to see through all obstructions, taking in everything in the void outside.

Gunboats and warships roared past, and cruisers tried to stop them from advancing through the portal by ramming their hulls.
