Chapter 156 03.0155: "Young Hang's mother is really great!"

Captain Peru sat up and nodded.

[It is not wrong to add additional small ships to guard. Otherwise, by the time the single frigate responsible for the outer perimeter guard has circled a large guard circle in the opposite direction and detected the enemy ship, the enemy ship will be right under our noses.]
Buzz! —Buzz! —Buzz! —

The sound of the first-level combat alert is always so terrifying and thrilling.

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

"Horatio, is this going to start again?"

"Yeah." He responded casually.

[What is the situation now?]
To be on the safe side, he activated the omen fragment once again.

But this time the fragments were misshapen for some reason.

The amount of information contained in the fragments was distorted, and he felt a headache when he looked directly at the fragments.

"Uh!"

Horatio held his forehead and gasped for air.

[It really is an enemy fleet! God-Emperor, those... seem to be a few cruiser-class ships?] Horatio thought, recalling the vague shadows in the void.

When Farida heard the groan, she was stunned at first, then looked at him.

"What's wrong with you? You're sweating a lot on your head." Farida handed him a handkerchief.

Horatio rested his arms on the table and reviewed the information carefully. Although most of the information was blurry and distorted, he still saw some useful things.

He immediately connected with the observation bridge to provide the officers inside with key points of attention.

"We received a report from the command platform of the No. 2 artillery fort on the port side. The officer on the platform observed through the long-range gun mirror that there was a huge black shadow moving in the dark shadow of the northwest void.

Our unit has further confirmed that the ship type is unknown, but it should be a cruiser-class enemy ship." The lookout officer on the bridge reported to the captain.

"Let the nearby destroyers investigate again and report back. What about the southern part?"

"The southern rift is still normal."

"Take one of the small ships on guard in the south and send it to the northwest. Just leave one ship there to keep watch."

"Yes, Captain."

In the void, the Imperial Navy's fleet was maneuvering and adjusting at full speed.

Considering that the port side had been fighting for a long time, this time the Indefatigable aimed the starboard side towards the possible enemy ships in the northwest.

Everyone was in a state of high tension.

Beep!

From the jump rift in the northwest void, evil warships emerged one after another.

"Damn it, we finally got out, and these followers of the false emperor will die in our hands." A bald-headed Khorne Space Marine with inscriptions all over his face cursed angrily.

"My lord, our array has returned to normal, and those errors with 9s everywhere have disappeared!" said a fortune teller in a black robe and a scarlet cane in an old and brewing voice.

"I have a warning to these slaves for invading the sound array on the Pseudo-Emperor's ship."

"Yes, my lord."

The closest destroyer, Starfire, was keeping a close eye on the number and level of enemy ships.

Beep!

The ship's external scanner sends detection waves in a 360-degree angle around the ship.

The female captain swallowed.

"Four enemy small attack ships were found! Four Apostates! And... a Slaughter-class cruiser! A Slaughter-class cruiser! A Dreadnought MK.1 light cruiser that was missing from the Fortress Fleet!"

Before the female captain could report, all the ships' sound arrays were strangely invaded.

"Listen up, followers of the false emperor! Get out of my sight, you are not worthy to fight us. Our prey is the Blood Angels, and we will destroy you without mercy."

Captain Peru slapped his hand on the throne and shouted back: "We will let you arrogant scum know that the Imperial Navy never wavers in fulfilling its duties! You will only die in this void today!"

"Hahahahahaha! Then you guys go die!"

A terrifying laugh was heard from the sound array, and then it was forcibly restarted by the technical priests on the ship and accepted the blessing of nano.

"Notify all warships, we..."

"Dear Indefatigable, we are the Gothic "Supreme Mission" fleet returning from the planet Voss. We have received the assembly coordinate signal, please send us on combat missions!" Captain Peru looked towards the south in the void.

"Thank God, it's our fleet."

They were the three new Voss light cruiser sisters, one Duty-class, one Endurance-class, and one Defiant-class.

The port side was facing the support fleet, and Horatio could clearly see three warships through the peripheral image.

"Release the interceptor aviation squadron!" The aviation command bridge of the Defiant-class cruiser issued the combat order for the carrier-based aviation team.

As the indicator lights flashed and the void environment alarm beeped, the gate of the shuttle apron flipped open in half from the middle to the top and bottom.

The apron guide wearing a void suit waved a fluorescent signal stick to guide the fighter plane into the ejection position.

When all the conditions were ready, the ejection commander made a squatting motion similar to "go", and lightning instantly burst out from the two slide rails, ejecting the "Void Fighter" at an extremely fast initial speed.

Eight Fury interceptors flew out from each of the eight-row aircraft carrier platforms on both sides, for a total of 16 aircraft.

They started to ignite after rushing out 500 meters. The terrifying thrust made the tail flame thin and long, almost burning to the catapult pad.

"Attention, squadron leaders. Your primary mission is to intercept the enemy landing craft and weaken the enemy ship's firepower turrets."

"Swift Squadron received."

"Gaola Squadron received."

The two squadrons quickly split into two teams in the void, forming the Imperial Navy's iconic "Four-Finger Battle Formation".

The busyness on the apron is not over yet, as the aviation command platform has issued a maintenance order for the Starhawk bomber.

The warrant officer of the Aviation Department instructed the ground crew to act quickly, and the busy apron was quickly cleared.

The technical priest of the craft was directing the servitors to make final preparations using nano-aromatherapy and machine soul soothing rituals for the huge Star Hawk bomber that was slowly ascending to the shuttle apron.

Not long after, 16 heavy void bombers loaded with various anti-ship weapons also took off.

When other warships had not yet joined the battle, this new aircraft carrier had already taken action.

Horatio saw all these actions, and when he saw the Defiant-class light cruiser.

Horatio immediately thought of a ship suitable for serving as a light aircraft carrier.

This is a new type of warship that has only been around for three hundred years and whose design originated from the Voss Forge World known as the 'Right Hand of Mars'.

The classic products of the Voss Forge World include the Voss Thunderbolt Fighter and the Malcador Main Battle Tank. It is the Forge World with the deepest cooperation with the Imperial Navy.

This is why Horatio suggested to Admiral George Anson that they try to stuff the Malcador main battle tanks onto the ship.

As the largest shipbuilding base in the entire empire, its complete construction facilities and advanced STC templates from the Dark Age of Technology have contributed greatly to the huge increase in production capacity.

The Forge World of Voss sparked the greatest breakthrough in Imperial shipbuilding in the late 41st Millennium.

The forging sages overcame the difficulties of the STC template and developed a new Voss-class battleship with a modular design. It is relatively cheap and can be produced even by small shipyards. The warships can then be assembled together.

The iconic design of the Voss-class ship is its angular square hull designed to facilitate modular assembly, as well as the aesthetically pleasing Skyhawk bow shield.

The main ship classes currently being produced are the Scimitar-class frigates, as well as the three sister light cruisers, Diligence, Endurance, and Defiance.

The Defiant-class light cruiser is the smallest and youngest of the three sisters, with only two hundred years having passed since the first ship was launched. Its positioning as a void fighter mothership is not favored by all naval fleets.

But the Defiant-class is low-cost and easy to produce. The modules are produced in multiple shipyards in Abyss Port and finally assembled in one factory.

In just five and a half Terran moons, an escort carrier that is 3.8 kilometers long, about 0.5 kilometers wide at the fin, can carry nearly 7 people, and can take off and land two squadrons of void fighters, or 16 fighters, at the same time, can appear.

She has two light spears on the spine and a total of 16 void shuttle landing pads on both sides.

There are also a large number of void fighters, bombers, assault boats, and twice as many atmospheric fighters and bombers in the ship's hangar.

As long as there are enough of them, they will not affect the firepower of the main fleet and the vanguard fleet, and can dispatch fighters to support the main fleet's operations and provide air escort. They are also so easy to produce that it is easy to form an aircraft carrier squadron. She is simply amazing and is the dream ship of the aircraft carrier faction.

She is a professional escort aircraft carrier, and has great versatility whether she is assigned to a large fleet as a rear guard, or used for daily escort or pursuit of enemy defeated ships.

Her figure was neither too big nor too small, just like a young girl, with both a nice figure and not too thin, and the right size.

Horatio could see the great tactical value of this young aircraft carrier.

　Recently, it is flood season in Jiangnan. The roads are flooded and people can sail boats. Therefore, the update efficiency is reduced, because my house is on the first floor! ! ! The water is flooding in! It is a bit abstract to write books in dirty water.

　　Okay, I’ll stop talking. I’m going to mop the floor, remove the mildew, and rescue the thousands of books in my study.

　　Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket, QAQ thank you!
