MTL - Warhammer Inquisitor-Chapter 595 Herd Fleet

  Chapter 595 Horde Fleet

The dim light shines on the round wooden handle, and the long pole passes through the slot, and is deeply fixed on the huge rudder. Ironically, since the way of human navigation today is carried out with the rudder, Just like those sailing ships in ancient times, but don't underestimate this point. This kind of ancient invention is often simpler and more reliable than pure technology.

Besides, not everyone can be the helmsman. He often needs to serve in the navy for many years, and often has experience as a captain or first officer, and then retreats to the second line when he is old and his mind is not bright. , as the equally important helmsman position.

Old Kent is an experienced helmsman. He served on a destroyer in his early years, and then served on many warships. Later, because of some problems, he was almost shot by the navy. Fortunately, Vito rescued him in time. He then served as the helmsman of the USS Infinite Frontier.

After the start of the new Indomitable Crusade, old Kent left the Infinite Frontier and was promoted to the chief helmsman of the battleship Emperor's Light. Yes, there was more than one helmsman on that ship, but old Kent was still the well-deserved chief. Rich experience, as well as full practical experience, allow him to deal with various emergencies, so now he is back on the Infinity Frontier, as the leader of this dangerous and crazy adventure.

Old Kent was no stranger to dangerous adventures. Anyone who had served under Vito for many years would rush into the enemy's encirclement like eating cheese. Er is in charge, but now, it is not them, but Anna.

Kent looked back, and Anna was sitting on the high captain's chair. The captain's nerve modification had been carried out on the back of her head, and a wide slot appeared at the back of her head, where a thick The data connection tube, which is connected to the captain's position behind her, allows her to operate the battleship through the neural data flow.

  She has been driving this familiar giant ship for a long time, and she has always known her very well. She used to serve as the first officer of the Infinite Frontier, and now, she has finally been promoted to captain, and she is not an ordinary captain.

There was a little light in Anna's eyes, and the arc on the eyeball was because one of her eyes had already been mechanized. The prosthetic eye gathered a lot of data information of the battleship in front of her eyes through the connecting tube at the back of her head, allowing the She checked every corner of the Infinite Frontier, as simple as checking if her fingers could move normally.

"We are about to reach the jump point, Kent, prepare to jump out." Anna ordered from a height, her finger clicked on the display screen next to the captain's command chair in front of her, Ken nodded, turned around and held Tighten the rudder, "Approaching Mandeville Point, preparing for the jump, countdown, 3, 2, 1, jump."

Old Kent skillfully pulled down the multiple pull rods on the side, and the computing machine servants installed on the pedestal under the rudder groaned. They shook their heads and uttered an incomprehensible chaotic language composed of 0 and 1 , they chanted, and soon a scanned image of the constellation appeared in front of Anna's eyes.

She raised her hand, and the thoughts in her mind were transmitted to the battleship in an instant. The data cable allowed the thinker to understand her thoughts in the blink of an eye. Entering the ship, but outside, it is not a beautiful picture, it is a ruin, the cemetery of the battleship.

A large number of Imperial Navy warships, as well as those rough giant ships of the savage orcs, are all suspended outside. They are like soulless bodies, drifting outside the infinite frontier. Maybe they will float for a long time until they are caught by the gravity of a certain planet , or melted in the sun, but Anna didn't want to go with them to see those possible outcomes.

"Kent, pull the boat up." "Understood, Captain, I'm about to do it." Old Kent said, pulling down the joystick beside his hand, and then gently pushing up the propulsion lever in front of him, computer servants There was a conversation between each other that only the Mechanicus could understand. Following the words, the end propulsion engine of the battleship was fired down, allowing the battleship to rise from the floating wreckage.

The void shield kept colliding with the surrounding wreckage, and the shining light continued to light up on the surface of the hull. Fortunately, this did not last long. After the red light of the impact point in Anna's eyes was displayed for a moment, they had already left The wreckage group sailed to the astrolabe above.

Here, the design of the rudder shows an admirable foresight. On a single plane, the ancient rudder is far more reliable than those complex operation senses or electronic programs. Old Kent shakes the rudder, and the entire battleship Then it turned, sailed, and dodged the wreckage of the larger greenskins.

The Infinite Frontier passed by a huge green-skinned giant-based battleship. Anna looked towards it, and the scanning interface of the battleship was displayed in her field of vision. Her eyes had already integrated with the Mars-class battlecruiser. Its advanced instruments turned into Anna's senses, allowing her to better feel everything around her.

In front of her eyes, scanning light waves slid across the surface of the green-skinned warship, there were no living people inside, the whole warship turned into a cold tomb, and beside it, among the surrounding warships, they were all the same , a graveyard of ships, and the graves of their members.

  Anna narrowed her eyes slightly, scanning everything around her, but as I said, her vision is already different now. She can see many invisible things through the battleship, for example, a jumping signal.

The scan of the battleship quickly appeared there, where multiple systems were intertwined and converged, and the thing among them was quickly presented, more than one, it was many huge shadows, emerging from a chaotic energy position, that was not Asia. The waves of space, but some kind of more ferocious, wild, and uncontrollable force.

"There is a jump signal behind us, it's the enemy, Kent! Dive!" "Got it, everyone sit still!" Old Kent roared, and quickly pulled down the lever that was originally pushed up, and he let go of the rudder , both hands quickly clicked and pulled on the surrounding consoles, and many levers and switches all operated, and the operating current they released concentratedly made the computing machine servants scream.

The voices of the servitors sang at the same time, their metal masked heads shaking violently around in the chaotic current, vague words came from behind the hose inserted in the face, the lights flickered frantically, and the base stations around them It kept beating, but in an instant, their sounds entered the brain of the battleship's thinker, and it began to respond.

The propulsion engine of the Infinity Frontier turned again, and the six huge jets at the end turned upward to protrude the huge vector fire, and the smaller but denser reverse propellers installed on the back of the hull were all lit up. The bright flames are like many volcanoes erupting from the back of the ship.

The Mars star battlecruiser immediately dived down rapidly. Its huge impact pressed the inside of the hull, making many people unable to stand still, but old Kent still stood firmly behind the rudder, operating the front of the ship. He swooped down on the rudder of the ship, and he swung the rudder to avoid the wreckages blocking the way one by one. Then he let go of his hands and pulled down the ignition gates on both sides at the same time. As they hit the end, the entire battleship stopped.

  Anna stood up from the captain's chair. She pulled out the cannula at the back of her head and let it rest on the side of the captain's chair casually. "The whole ship is silent, and all power is turned off."

Anna's words were immediately carried out. The members of the bridge quickly clicked on the instruments in front of them, swiped and pulled off the gate. With their operations, the entire bridge gradually dimmed, and the entire battleship was extinguished. All the lights in the corridor, floating in those dark wreckage.

Anna raised her head. With her own eyes, she saw the battleships passing above from a human perspective. They were huge ships whose structures did not conform to the most basic mechanics and common sense of construction. They were more like some kind of warships. Crude, chaotic creations of mad inventors.

But unlike the real Chaos, there are no tentacles, living structures, or wriggling disgusting giants on its surface, and there is no eight-pointed star. In that position, it is replaced by a head, an ugly but Roaring giant.

Those battleships that are more like cosmic junk, each ship is completely different, the positions of their artillery, hatches, and thrusters seem to be random, as if the engineers who built them decided on the spur of the moment, and many of the designs are very different. Reasonable, like propellers, but they can actually fly.

Anna looked at those giant ships, they were passing above the wreckage, exaggerated buildings were built on the huge hulls, inside those fortress-like walls, each one had different angles, and the direction of propulsion was even opposite to the ejection port Fierce flames are being spit out, allowing those huge hulls to pass slowly.

The fire light illuminated Anna's face. She and the crew watched the giant beasts pass by. It was like a migration of giant beasts in the starry sky, looking for breeding grounds, food, and other big migrations. Anna looked at them, and quickly found some unique warships among the giant beasts.

They are not equipped with large-caliber or exaggerated artillery, but the body is even bigger, but what is also unique is that most of its body parts are tied with iron chains, like a circle around The ice floes around the iceberg, those ice floes are welded one by one in a rough way, but the transport cabins are huge, so large in number that the long strip spaceships dragging them forward occupy The location of most of the herd.

  Those iron chains float in the universe, making the long cargo hold swing behind, as if a group of giant octopuses in the universe are passing above the Infinity Frontier, and their huge size is forced to install more exaggerated propellers.

Kent looked at the huge fleet passing overhead. They didn't stay for long, and soon flew to the shining light at the end of the wreckage in the distance. It was a desolate planet on the background of bright stars. The barren earth-yellow light was blocked by the wreckage, and only a little halo shot out to prove that it was indeed there.

The herd giant ships are flying there, and in the starry sky there, there are more giant ships, more starry sky octopus transport ships made of iron chains, casting huge black shadows on the surface of the planet .

   "Restart the battleship system, Kent, and push forward a little further, to the edge of the wreckage area." "Understood, Captain." "Yeta, the next road, you can only go by yourself."
