The first wave is bombing, bomb him.
With the support of an entire forge world that is gradually resuming production, Hades said that the thing the Death Guard lacks least now is ammunition, not to mention the sages' current hot enthusiasm for production.
Hades felt that if he didn't use this ammunition, he would be letting down the sages' crazy enthusiasm.
Of course, what greeted the Ran Dan fleet were torpedoes. There were tens of thousands of them, so there was no need to hide them. The welcome ceremony naturally had to be lively.
The torpedo array drew beautiful tail flames in the void. The void cannot transmit sound, otherwise the entire area would be resounding with that deafening roar, which was the roar when facing aliens.
Hades watched the torpedoes and the enemy fleet's reaction in silence, his left eye glowing red, and the scene of Perturabo leading the Iron Warriors fleet seemed to begin to overlap before his eyes.
As Hades expected, the enemy's first batch of fleets did not seem to think of resisting at all. Yes, they were baits, responsible for attracting firepower for the arrival of the main fleet.
Just like what the Death Guard did before, Hades sneered and watched the small ships that escaped in all directions turn into shining fireworks outside the portholes.
The small ships had messy shapes and strange models. Hades even recognized the Empire's navy among them. They were probably other races controlled by Randan.
At the same time, the enemy's main fleet began to appear. They seemed to think that the first wave of firepower had passed and these abandoned ships had completed their mission of covering.
Hades smiled kindly and issued the second phase of instructions -
The second wave is still bombing, bomb him to death.
To repeat, the Death Guard now have a lot of ammunition. A lot.
Hades hoped that this "a lot" could leave a deep impression in Randan's mind.
The space station deployed in the Starshatter Belt near Mandeville Point immediately began launching a second round of torpedoes. The number of ammunition, which was no less than or even exceeded that of the first round, roared into the sky and pointed directly at the aliens.
These launched torpedoes obviously gave the enemy a big surprise. Interceptor missiles and small ships were dispatched to snipe the Death Guards' torpedo fleet.
Hades silently counted the seconds in his mind. Ran Dan's reaction was a little slow. Compared with the legions with quick reactions, such as the Iron Warriors, Ran Dan's fleet's reaction was not excellent.
Hades wasn't sure if this was their usual reaction speed or their panicked reaction after seeing the Death Guard's gift pack.
But no matter what, Hades will use these detailed data in his subsequent commands.
Brilliant explosions shone in the sky, matched with the rippling green waves when sailing in the subspace, gorgeous and colorful. The Lady of Death officially appeared on the stage. Unlike her usual plain clothes with bloodstains, she was in her prime today, with sparkling colored pieces hanging on her skirt. Every shine meant the fall of a ship.
Most of the torpedoes were intercepted, but some of them still reached the other side faithfully. Fragments broke apart with the explosion, and fluctuations of perspective appeared at the breach, which was the gushing of air inside the ship.
The fragments of the ship floated silently and slowly. Hades knew that they were moving at a very high speed, which would further disrupt the enemy's steps.
Some small gray dots hung above large pieces of building materials and were thrown into the universe along with the gushes of air.
Nothing, it’s all life.
The least valuable thing is life! Hades tightly controlled the battlefield rhythm and commanded the nearby space defense stations to join this close-range detonation. Their suicidal attacks would further tear apart the ranks of the Randan fleet. The dominance of the war must be in the hands of the Death Guard.
With the torpedoes in front paving the way, these defense stations that were broken in the previous Battle of Memanik and patched up by the Death Guard rushed forward.
Most of the defense stations are maintained by servitors, but there are still necessary crew members on board to take command and make the most of the power of the suicide attack.
Only life understands the maximum destruction before death, and dying brings the deepest anger.
Those space stations rushed into the enemy fleet with a determination not to look back. Most of them stopped at the periphery of the enemy fleet, but some space stations still managed to break through, staggering but firmly crashing into the marked fleets.
These space stations are already filled with explosives.
Hades blinked, and the commander focused his attention on observing the changes in the Randan fleet. He no longer cared about the scattered space stations that had not exploded. One or two existences could not shake the entire situation, especially in a chess game with the galaxy as the chessboard.
As for condolences, that is a matter for after the war.
In war, any emotion and sentimentality will become the soil that buries oneself. There is no time to mourn and no energy to feel sentimental.
Ran Dan, who was rushing to try to open up the battlefield, was obviously hit hard. Now Hades could judge that the enemy's rhythm was disrupted, and the Death Guard successfully divided this fleet, which was originally a whole, into two parts.
The leading troops seemed to hesitate whether to turn back, but if they paused, the attack would fail, and the losers who failed to gain control of the battle would be expelled.
So they can't stop.
But if they didn't stop... Hades looked at Randan's wound with satisfaction. The fleet became dragging at the back of the waist, revealing an ugly large wound. The Death Guard's scythe could easily hook in and pull out their intestines.
If you want to enter the Death Guard's territory, you need to pay enough blood.
The curtain of the second act fell perfectly with the explosion of the last space station, and the opening song of the third act was played by the roar of the Death Guard fleet.
Even if there is sufficient ammunition, the number of Death Guard ships on this front is really insufficient. If the opponent realizes this and stretches the front line, the Death Guard will be caught in a long fleet attrition war.
So Hades and the Death Guard will act as shepherds, driving the concentrated Randan ships and not giving them a chance to disperse.
A large part of the alien fleet will be driven to the vicinity of Mining Star No. 3, and the planetary defense will cooperate with the fleet to eliminate the enemy. Another group of fleets will be driven to the gravel belt and slowly cleared.
Even the massive ammunition depot could not support a full field of ammunition destroyers, so this meant that ships had to be sent out to lure out and drive off the Randan.
The Death Guard and Ran Dan, they must dance closely together and fight in close combat. It's time to test the quality of the engine and the captain's speed.
There will inevitably be some joining and some opposing joining, but as long as it conforms to the overall tactics, Hades is willing to let these warriors decide their own plans.
Just as Mortarion believed in Hades, Hades also believed in the Death Guard and the Death Guard's crews. These ships with names full of death culture would be his best blades.
The Fourth Horseman, my Lady Death, Depression. They sigh and raise their scythes, death accompanies them, and Pluto blesses you all.
I wish you all good fortune in military affairs.
Hades silently counted the beat of the war, and when it came, he looked up and saw the news that the first ship had successfully boarded.
Turning my head, the scenery outside the observation window remained the same.
Immediately afterwards, news about inducing the enemy to board or destroying enemy ships appeared in front of Hades like growing seedlings.
Hades smiled with satisfaction.
