Ramillies-class Star Fortress VS Artificial War Satellite

The closer the Expeditionary Fleet is to the Spiral- Morse primary star, the higher the number of drones released by the Artificial War Satellite.

The Expeditionary Fleet, centered on the Ramillies, advanced steadily.

The endless torpedoes released from the central region of the Ramillies-class Star Fortress collided with the Rangdan drones in the void.

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, they continuously collide in the void tens of thousands of kilometers away.

The blinding Red Light of the explosion illuminated the void.

The Expeditionary Fleet's bows spewed Lance, clearing away the metal debris blocking their path.

Anti-aircraft guns roared as they shot down the intruding swarm of drones.

Several Tug broke the battle between torpedoes and drones and entered the attack range of the Artificial War Satellite.

Countless dazzling beams of light shot out from the Artificial War Satellite and crashed into the Tug's Void Shield.

The Tug, like gasping, Void Behemoth, struggled to move forward, their mission being to tow the Ramillies forward before it was destroyed.

On the bridge of the Giant Elephant, the captain looked at the control panel in front of him.

The identification signals of the Tug disappeared one by one, leaving nothing behind.

His thoughts immediately returned to his own ship.

Void Shield Overload.

Power failure.

The life support system has completely stopped functioning.

...]

The captain raised his left hand and placed it on his breathing mask.

Although he knew that pursuing the instruments was pointless, he and his ship and crew were about to be turned into a dark shadow by the Xenos's bizarre weapons.

That was the only trace he left in the cold void.

[Even a shadow, I am a dignified shadow.]

He thought to himself with a self-deprecating laugh.

The captain tidied his hair again, staring blankly at his arms; the Void Suit and Touch Glove were still there.

[Huh? That thing's attacks suddenly slowed down.]

Artificial War Satellite have no time to worry about Tug, as they have already completed their mission.

Fifteen Tug turned into ominous shadows, four of them severely damaged, as the Ramillies closed the distance to the Artificial War Satellite.

Two Artificial Void War Fortress engage in a decisive battle.

Millions of human slaves, enslaved by Neural Collar, put the entire Artificial War Satellite into operation.

Spire rise from the earth's surface, shooting blazing beams of light into the void.

The beam of light released from the Spire has a higher energy density and greater destructive power than the shipborne Shadow Blaster.

Raindrops of radioactive electromagnetic bombardment waves relentlessly bombarded the Bastion-class Energy Shield in the southern district.

The Ramillies-class Star Fortress Machine Spirit roared in fury, and rows of terrifying cannons hissed as they fired at the Xenos creation.

The surface-to-air defenses of the Artificial War Satellite are operating at full capacity to intercept dense barrages.

The hidden Rangdan warships also emerged from the shadow of the War Satellite.

The decisive moment has arrived; hiding is pointless now.

Imperium warships arrayed themselves around the Ramillies-class Star Fortress, forming a battle line and advancing steadily.

The Foundry Workshop of the Artificial War Satellite echoed with the Psionic Energy words of the Overlord.

"Quickly! As fast as possible, manufacture drones."

Hundreds of thousands of slaves tirelessly used their hands, following instructions implanted in their brains, to build one drone after another.

Their self-awareness was bound by Neural Collar, making it impossible for them to comprehend the anxiety in the Overlord's words.

The drones took to the skies and joined the war shortly after they were manufactured.

Artificial War Satellite can engage in firefights with human Star Fortress, but Rangdan's fleet is outnumbered and urgently needs drones to maintain the fragile balance.

The balance was broken on the thirteenth day after the battle between the two Fortress, Expeditionary Fleet accumulated a sufficient numerical advantage.

On the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod examines the holographic image and discovers that the Expeditionary Fleet is advancing at an increasingly rapid pace.

He examined the data flowing across the screen, and the main engines of the entire fleet's warships were accelerating in an orderly manner.

Thanks to the Simulacrum Sanctum covering the entire Expeditionary Fleet, the line of sight of all warships was increased by the same amount.

The holographic projections showed that no warship stood out alone, nor did any warship lag behind; the entire fleet was more orderly than the rising tide.

The Rangdan warship was pushed backward by the "tide".

Against a green holographic background, enemy warships marked in red disappear at a visible speed, while friendly black warships disappear at a much slower rate.

Even though I deployed twice the number of capital ships as I remembered the First Legion, and also had three Gloriana-class Battleship, the losses would have been much greater without the Ramillies-class Star Fortress.

It works in conjunction with Artificial War Satellite, allowing my fleet's numerical advantage in warships to be fully utilized.

Hmm... the Ramillies is starting to gain the upper hand.

The weapons of both Fortress simultaneously breached each other's defenses.

The Bastion-class Energy Shield was overloaded by an electromagnetic attack, but its powerful heart— the Punishment-class Reactor —pumped on to activate the Auto-recharging Void Shield.

Another attack from the Artificial War Satellite was blocked by the New Life shield.

In its first salvo, the Ramillies only fired a dozen or so shells that hit the surface of the Artificial War Satellite.

Most of the shells hit the surface rocks without causing much damage.

However, two shells struck the defensive turret and the energy Spire, respectively.

Commander Diana Pauline of the Ramillies paid close attention to the results of the strike and keenly seized the opportunity.

She immediately issued the order, "Artificial War Satellite, H-11 and D-14 areas, cover and strike."

Diana's command instantly reached the artillery crew, and the void was filled with artillery fire.

The storm lashed at the two target areas, and artillery bombardment breached the gaps in the anti-aircraft fire network.

A dazzling light, like the explosion of a supernova.

Following closely behind, the flames spread in layers, surging forth and engulfing one anti-aircraft turret after another.

Among the numerous Spire standing on the ground, the Rangdan Overlord stared at the crystal screen in front of them. They hadn't even had time to recover from the Nightmare of their defeat in the firepower battle with the Artificial War Satellite when a gap was torn in the air defense network.

The Regional Power Center exploded, the blinding light resembling a giant Fireball.

Insufficient energy supply leads to systemic destruction.

Several Spire were unwillingly extinguished, and the barrage of bullets from hundreds of defensive artillery units came to an abrupt halt.

The Ramillies, like a bloodthirsty shark, tore at the Artificial War Satellite, exposing its barrage of fire.

The artillery fire tore off an even larger chunk of rock and flesh, and the production of drones in Foundry Workshop suddenly ceased.

The fleet engines of the Fourth Legion and 11th Chapter accelerated, suddenly reaching the high-altitude orbit of the Artificial War Satellite.

Lance rained down, and orbital bombardment ensued.

After the Ramillies reached the orbit of the Artificial War Satellite, the two Chapter immediately launched a boarding operation.

Chapter Master Bradshaw of the 11th Chapter landed in Sector C-14 and led his team into the massive Xenos structure.

The circular metal dome bears some resemblance to the dome of the Lower Hive in his homeland, Terra Equatorial Hive City.

Unlike the monolithic dome of the same Hive City, the Xenos building contains strange metal plates hanging from the dome.

They are shaped like flower petals, with a stripe running across a huge metal plate.

Bradshaw looked around and saw thin, crystalline cables on the metal petals connecting to large, upright panes of glass.

This appears to be the Xenos' control or command center.

Just as Bradshaw was thinking this, he suddenly heard a piercing screeching sound.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a series of Xenos with tiger heads and human bodies, Scorpion Tail swaying behind them, leaping from the dome onto the metal petals.

The Rangdan Warrior, wielding harpoon-like weapons, aimed at them.

"Above!"

Bradshaw shouted, raised his Archaeotech Pistol, and fired a blazing beam of light.

The Warrior raised their weapons and fired at the Rangdan Warrior.

A dazzling light and a piercing explosion filled the entire building.

The Shadow of Order, along with the black-armored figures, were blasted into ominous shadows by the electromagnetic beam.

The personal energy shield of the Rangdan Warrior was shattered by the dense barrage of fire and then blasted into a bloody mist.

Bradshaw's gaze searched among the Xenos, then locked onto the unusually tall Overlord, twice the size of its kind, which swung its body and charged downwards.

Bradshaw raised his hand and fired a beam of light at the Tiger-headed Scorpion-tailed Overlord, then strode towards him.

The Overlord's blood-yellow eyes saw the black-armored human charging towards him, and he opened his mouth wide, letting out a deafening roar.

Bradshaw was deeply shaken; countless sharp Scorpion Tail lashed out like whips.

He immediately ascended to the first level of Thelema Mindset, the illusion in his eyes disappeared, and he saw Scorpion Tail hanging above his head.

Just as Bradshaw was about to dodge, the Scorpion Tail suddenly burst open like flower petals, spraying foul-smelling liquid towards him.

Just as he was about to dodge, a cold glint shot out from the tiger-headed Overlord's blood-yellow eyes.

The Telekinesis swept over Bradshaw's legs, making them feel as heavy as lead, and then his body swayed and he lost his balance.

As the Overlord leaped down, its split Scorpion Tail instantly closed, striking Bradshaw directly in the abdomen.

The Scorpion Tail pierced Bradshaw's body like Spear, lifting him high into the air.

The guards, witnessing the death of their Chapter Master, roared in fury.
