A faint yellowish fluorescence shone through the glass and slowly onto the floor of the Fourth Knight.
Hades stared at the corner of the window with a tingling scalp. There, the Necron ships as small as rice grains would enter the attack range of the Iron Warriors ships in more than one standard Terra hour at most.
He swallowed slowly.
After the unpleasant parting, Mortarion and Deathshroud immediately returned to the Death Guard's fleet, commanding the Death Guard's dark green ships to hide in a rubble belt on the flank of Planet 106's satellite.
Because Galaspa's main fleet has not been recalled, the Death Guard's current fleet is not very large. Relying on ships supplied by the Emperor, the integration with the original Death Guard fleet is not very good.
This means that at this stage, the Death Guard will not be able to take on the main force of the space naval battle to meet the enemy.
So they could only choose to retreat and avoid fighting.
Of course, Hades also had his own selfish motives. The Death Guard had already lost a lot in the previous Galaspari, so at least they couldn't lose too much in this battle.
Hades stared at the extremely small number of Undead ships. Their hulls were small and shaped like a sickle. Based on his previous memory, Hades could barely judge that the opposite side had only dispatched Jackal-class and Elegy-class attack ships.
And what they were facing was an entire fleet of Iron Warriors.
Hades pondered for a moment. He felt that these small ships were more like the other side testing the strength of their fleet first.
But even a small assault ship should be enough to give the Iron Warriors a hard time.
The Necrons' inertia-free engines can allow their ships to accelerate to a rather outrageous speed in a short period of time. Generally speaking, most creatures will not be able to withstand the huge acceleration and their bodies will tremble and fall apart.
But since the Necrons have no physical body, their most prominent feature is their great strength like a flying brick.
The advanced technology tree of the Necrons makes the naval weapons currently used by the Empire quite ineffective against the attacks of the Necron fleets.
That was true, but now the Necron ships in front of the Iron Warriors were approaching them at a speed that was not particularly fast.
They are taking advantage of the arrogance of the empire and their ignorance.
Hades stared at the ships and suddenly realized.
The current fleet formation of the Iron Warriors is relatively concentrated.
At the very center of the queue was the glorious queen of the Iron Warriors. The Blood of Iron floated quietly among her offspring, and the fluorescence of the plasma shield flashed a slight wave on her huge hull.
On the side facing away from Planet 106, the defense of the Iron Warriors fleet was obviously weaker.
This is not very good
He had to find a way to remind the Iron Warrior on the opposite side.
But Hades knew that it was probably useless even if he reminded him. In the previous contact, Hades felt that Perturabo had been irritated by Mortarion, and he would not try to listen to the advice of a Death Guard.
He decided to give it a try anyway.
Hades first applied to the Fourth Knight's signal transmitter station for permission to talk to the Iron Warriors' private channel. This application was usually approved by the Primarch, but at this moment Mortarion was giving a speech to the legion he led -
The Primarch temporarily gave the power to command the fleet to Hades.
After all, they were hiding in the rubble belt of a satellite, and it seemed that no battle would take place. So Mortarion, who didn't want to see the Iron Warriors ships, decided to do "something more meaningful".
Watching the Iron Warriors fleet swatting a few "little flies" in space, Mortarion commented that it was a waste of time, although he did not actually say it out loud.
Mortarion, unhappy with Perturabo's behavior, knew that he urgently needed to do something else to get rid of the annoying figure of his brother from his mind, so...what could be better to make himself calm than to spend some time with his children
What's more, a competent leader knows how to delegate his power. Mortarion claims that he is not a tyrant, so of course he has to give his subordinates the opportunity to gain experience.
So Hades is standing here now, in the command room of the Fourth Knight.
Although Hades really wanted to complain about something, he understood how Calastyphon had tricked the Death Guard into running away. But forget it, it was too late.
A distinctive electric current sounded, and Hades knew that the call request he sent was rejected in seconds.
The one he applied to contact was the Iron Warrior, one of the Trident, Dantioch.
Earlier in Blood of Steel, Hades asked for Dantioch's private communication channel.
Although it looked like they were all standing by the wall as punishment, in fact, Hades sent a channel contact request to those Tridents.
［.］
The channel was connected, and there was silence on the other side. Hades quickly spoke.
[Hello, I am Hades the Deathshroud, and a technical sergeant of the Death Guard.]
[I am currently in charge of the Death Guard's observation and response to the enemy.]
Hardy paused.
[On my own behalf,]
[The enemy's ship's engine is very unusual, and it seems to be a ship that can accelerate over a short distance.]
Hades felt that it would be impolite to say anything more. If he directly pointed out the Iron Warriors' fleet, would the other side accept it
［.］
The other party remained silent. Hades thought quickly and tried to remedy the situation.
[I hope to share information about the enemy with the Iron Warriors. I think your observations and understanding of details in this regard are more detailed than those of the Death Guard, and are worth learning from.]
［.］
The other party still didn't speak.
Shit, he didn't call the wrong number, did he
However, the other party's low voice sounded, like a gear slowly turning,
[Okay, thank you for sharing, Death Shroud Hades.]
[.On behalf of Dantioch,]
[I will share the information about the Iron Warriors with you later.]
In the jungle of steel, Dantioch stared at the figure in front of him under his helmet and said slowly,
Perturabo was standing silently at the strategic table. There, within the atmosphere of Planet 106, the enemy also launched a small number of aircraft.
Of course, any communication request from another fleet would be approved by the Primarch. Even if it was directly accessing a private communication channel, it would be intercepted by Perturabo.
After all, Perturabo has always been proud of his precise control of the battle situation.
Dantioch realized that his Primarch had heard the conversation, but Perturabo did not react.
Dantioch remained silent. He did not think that Perturabo would want the Tridents to speak at this moment.
Perturabo stared at the Necron ships in silence.
The ship has a streamlined hull with a small engine protruding underneath.
Faster
Countless pieces of information gathered in Perturabo's mind.
The Primarch suddenly realized that in the previous profiles of the Necromancers, these silent, rusty, robot-like aliens had a strong adaptability to extremely fast acceleration.
No, even if they were fast, such a small number of ships would be like an egg against a rock.
Perturabo began to calculate that if the Iron Warriors' first torpedoes hit 30% of the enemy, they could be destroyed as soon as they came into attack range.
Were the Death Guard so arrogant that they wanted to teach him how to behave? Was his brother hiding behind a window and watching him make a fool of himself
Watching him cowardly disperse his fleet
Perturabo was still.
The order to attack was given, and a team of Iron Warriors' cruisers sailed out of the defense fleet and headed straight for the Necromancer ships!
On the other side,
Attack in advance
This is a good idea, Hades thought, to test the opponent's speed in advance and break up the formation at the same time.
Although there is a high probability that these cruisers will be sunk, they will provide time for the other ships of the Iron Warriors to change their formations and react.
It seems that the other party understood what he was saying.
Hades thought with relief.
But how did Dantioch convince Perturabo? Hades was puzzled for a moment, but he gave up the question in an instant. This was an internal matter of the Iron Warriors. Why should he, a Death Guard, care about it
