Ah, Looks Like Orks Are Attacking

In the clear night sky of Byzas, the colossal ship "Pride of the Emperor" remained silently suspended in the void near near-Earth orbit.

But today, there seem to be many uninvited guests around the Voidship.

Those warships, resembling a junkyard, are now steadily approaching the "Pride of the Emperor" in the sky.

The giant warships, crudely and haphazardly assembled, can still operate stably in the void.

It seems that apart from Orks, Kasgar does not believe that any other creature could have this ability.

Moreover, this is the time when the Orks are causing the most trouble.

Urlakk Urg, the great Orks warlord on Ullanor, has not yet been killed by Horus, and the Ork Empire is currently in the midst of a fierce "Waaaaag!"

The sudden appearance of a small Orks fleet attacking their voidship doesn't seem particularly novel.

Moreover, judging from the size of the enemy's warships, they are not a small Orks fleet, and it is very likely that Warboss is also in command.

"Quick! The Pride of the Emperor is currently vulnerable; we must get back immediately!"

Kasgar urged her on, pulling Fulgrim by the hand and quickly getting into the Firebird that was standing nearby.

Fortunately, they are now fully equipped for building fortifications.

If we were to ask them to put their Power Armour back on at this point, it would be too late.

"Waaaaaaaagh!"

Countless Ork Boyz broke through the outer fire coverage of the Pride of the Emperor and successfully boarded the ship.

Given its near-perfect protective design, the Pride of the Emperor wouldn't have been boarded so quickly.

However, the 28th Expeditionary Fleet are currently short-handed, and a large number of Adeptus Mechanicus Sages, Auxilia, and the Sons of the Emperor are currently building fortifications on the surface of Byzas.

This has resulted in a severe shortage of manpower within the flagship store.

When facing enemy warships' bombardment, it can also defend and counterattack with its powerful Void Shield.

However, when faced with the enemy boarding the ship, the weakness of the Pride of the Emperor, a ship with no real structure, was instantly exposed.

More importantly, these few hundred remaining Sons of the Emperor are crucial to the future development of their legion.

If these five hundred people suffer any further irreversible losses, then the Sons of the Emperor will, as before, follow Horus around, spending a great deal of time recovering and regaining his strength.

This battle was extremely dangerous for Kasgar.

Large numbers of Ork Boyz were launched into the cabin from the cannon Big Mek's Kannon; or they would use Drill Bommer to create a large hole in the flagship's beautiful wine-red hue and board it.

In short, Orks have their own methods and weapons.

But these things didn't seem so pleasant to Fulgrim.

"My flagship!!!"

As she flew through the Firebird, watching the Pride of the Emperor being defiled by all sorts of damned Xenos creatures on the screen in front of her, Fulgrim was instantly enraged.

This is the flagship she painstakingly built over a decade at the Jupiter Forge!

Even she herself is reluctant to drive the top-of-the-line, brand-new Gloriana-class Battleship with excessive force!

It was ruined by a bunch of idiots who don't even understand what art is!

Her heart was bleeding.

"Let me!"

Enraged, she snatched the weapon control system from the gunboat, aimed it at the nearby Orks Boom Bomber, and blasted the Orks pilot, who was sticking his head out and laughing wildly, into dust along with his beloved aircraft.

"Damn Xenos!!!"

"Die!"

She quickly turned the cannon around and roared like a Lion.

It seemed as if she wanted to vent all the gloom and grievances she had suffered these past few days.

As her artillery fire swept up and down, many of the Ork Boyz's warplanes were reduced to ashes.

As the number of Orks warplanes around the flagship gradually decreased, a place was finally cleared near the flagship where gunboats could land.

There are just too many Orks.

Even the Lobba assembled by Orks could swarm around the Pride of the Emperor like a swarm of mosquitoes and flies.

If it weren't for its outer material being sturdy enough, it might have been blasted to pieces by these guys who can pass through the Void Shield.

"Fulgrim, I'll go back to the flagship to command the battle. You take some men and go take down their Warboss!"

As the Chief Lord Commander of the Sons of the Emperor, the Pride of the Emperor needs his coordination and defense.

But defense alone is not enough to deal with the horde of Orks that are surging in like a tidal wave.

When facing such a large Orks army, the best approach is to kill the Orks leader. Once Waaaaagh is out of command, the remaining Orks will quickly scatter.

"Good!"

"It's a pity Aqua is currently communicating with the Iron Hands Fleet. If only she could be here."

"Sigh, never mind. Notify the gunboats behind that, except for Abdelon who is still injured, the rest of the gunboats will follow me to attack the enemy's flagship."

Although she didn't want to call that massive space junkyard a flagship, Fulgrim ultimately chose to use a term that everyone could understand.

"Take care on your journey."

As he leaped from the Firebird and landed at the landing pier of the Pride of the Emperor, Kasgar turned back and offered his blessings.

"Yes, Kasgar. You too."

"Waaaaagh!"

Upon seeing the new hulking figure leap into the landing pier, the impatient Ork Boyz waiting in the flagship's spacious cabin immediately swarmed around.

These Ork Boyz are very unhappy.

If there's anything worse than being left out after switching sides, it's that you're left with no fight to fight.

After seeing such a huge [Shrimp] (referring to human) warship right after the jump, the Ork Warboss were really excited!

We've been drifting in the sky for so long, and we still can't find anyone to fight with!

They're all spineless Gretchin!

This time I've finally met a top-tier Shrimp flagship, so I can finally have a good fight!

This thing is as big as our spaceship, and it looks incredibly fancy!

There are definitely some really tough opponents inside, we'll have a blast fighting them!

Completely different from those Shrimp Space Hulk!

Waaaaagh! (Excited)

But when these excited Ork Boyz hopped into the flagship with their beloved Drill and Big Rock, they found there was absolutely Shrimp there!

This huge spaceship is almost empty!

Apart from a few Shrimp running around with their heads in their hands, there are hardly any big guys here!

They've been tricked!

Waaaaagh (deeply emotional)

Those damn Shrimp, they actually cheated just to prevent them from having a fight!

They deliberately created a fake warship, but there wasn't a Shrimp inside.

They just wanted to spoil our fun!

Cunning Shrimp!

Just when the Orks thought they were going to leave disappointed, a huge purple-gold shield appeared in their field of vision.

Waaaaagh!! (Super excited)

Bang!

Call out!

Kasgar's strategy for dealing with the horde of Ork Boyz was not complicated.

After knocking down Orks was about to leap and strike from the top of a shield, he pressed the Disintegration Field and Extension Pole of the Extending Spear in his hand.

Then, a sweeping attack.

Several Ork Boyz who couldn't dodge in time met their Gork and Mork (the Orks god), thanks to this wicked Shrimp's underhanded trick.

"Come on! Keep going!"

Kasgar shouted excitedly.

These past few days I've been playing a chase with that damned demon in the Warp, and haven't had a proper fight to relax.

These Orks dared to show up right under their noses; they're asking for it!

Using the advantage of its extremely long-range Power Spear, Kasgar quickly carved a bloody path through the landing site.

But as he continued forward, the situation became increasingly dire.

Orks.

Orks are everywhere.

With a lack of personnel on board, the Orks' attack struck at the heart of the ship.

"Hey! Adrol, respond if you hear me!"

"This is Chief Lord Commander Kasgar, reporting on the battle situation!"

While the Sons of the Emperor might get along well in normal times, at this critical juncture of military operations, it's impossible for them not to distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

"This is Adrol, and the main force of our ships is currently gathering on the upper deck for defense."

There was an unspeakable weariness in Adrol's tone.

"More Orks are currently attacking the upper decks."

"The rest of the area has fallen. Commander, please proceed to the upper deck as soon as possible to regroup."

Adrol's ability to evacuate personnel to the upper decks in a very short time after the attack, and to repel several enemy attacks with the protection of the upper decks and artillery fire, was an excellent performance.

But even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without rice.

With so few men left in the legion, his ability to hold the upper deck of the Pride of the Emperor is truly commendable.

Tactics can indeed play a role.

However, tactics are not very effective against these idiots who only know how to chop and bomb.

If we translate this into a game, other Xenos enemies would likely require dealing with related mechanics.

Orks, however, are different.

They are the purest numerical testing machines.

In the fight against the Orks, the one who can fight best will win!

Other tactics are generally ineffective.

(Of course, this doesn't include games War of the Beast, where they just use cheat codes without any acting.)

No matter what methods you use to bypass their advantages, they can always come up with corresponding countermeasures.

In the end, the only way to defeat the Orks is through head-on confrontation.

Do you know where the leader of the other side who defected is now?

"Sector α-6, the passageway from the middle deck to the upper deck. But Commander, that's too risky!"

"You alone cannot overcome so many Orks, who are like a tidal wave, and defeat their leader!"

"He's a warboss too!"

The Orks who boarded the ship naturally had their leaders.

Once the Orks leader is killed, the remaining Orks will fight amongst themselves to "select" a new leader.

This is the best time to launch a counterattack against them.

However, Orks of Warboss caliber are extremely troublesome for many Space Marine.

As the person Fulgrim loves most, Adrol hopes to protect her here.

"Understood. You will remain on the upper deck and try your best not to be overwhelmed by the enemy."

"After I arrived at my destination, I followed my instructions to launch a pincer attack from the upper deck to the lower deck."

Kasgar continued his solo advance towards the location of the Orks inside the flagship.

As he opened the next hatch, the Orks of idle orcs' eyes lit up when they saw him.

"Waaaaagh!"

They charged toward Cass, shouting the same battle cry.

Orks' battle cries are always very simple.

However, defeating enemies coming from all directions in such a confined space is extremely difficult.

But Kasgar came up with a good idea.

Carmen.

Standing behind the hatch, Kasgar raised his shield high, blocking the attacks from the ranged shooters.

The bullets, made of some unknown material, clanged and jingled melodiously against the purple-gold shield.

Then, he activated the Disintegration Field of the Power spear in his hand once again.

Standing behind the door.

Stab!

Orks are known for their cunning and cheating.

When the Orks are outmatched, the tech-savvy guys always manage to come up with all sorts of ingenious inventions.

But what do you do when I, Kasgar, use the invincible shield stab (Carmen version)?

Even the fearless Orks, who find joy in battle, had to halt their charge when faced with Shrimp like Kasgar.

I think this Shrimp has no sportsmanship at all!

Where's the promised fun of combat? Where's the promised "Waaaaagh" thrill?

Why can I only see a huge shield, as big as a door panel, and a Power spear that keeps extending and retracting forward?

"Waaaaagh!!!" (Angry)

But getting angry won't help.

After most of the Orks in the room had been killed by the ambush, Kasgar switched to his Ignition pistol and began a final sweep of the cowards who refused to fight.

What a piece of trash! It doesn't even dare to fight me with my shield thrust!

They still dare to call themselves Orks?

I, Kasgar, will clean house for Gork and Mork right now!

"Waaaaagh!!!" (Angry)

Perhaps enraged by Kasgar's fighting style, some of the Orks were dodging charged at him recklessly.

What?!

You actually dared to come up here?

Kasgar raised his great shield again and used his strength, which was even greater than that of the Orks, to block the enemy's attack.

Then he used his Retractable Power Spear to send him to see Gork and Mork.

After going back and forth in Kasgar several times, he cleared out cabin after cabin with his ground-pushing tactics.

Steady.

But since it was just Kasgar alone, the efficiency was still a bit slow.

"The flagship's gunboats are currently landing on Byzas. Please respond."

"Received. Apart from Commander Abdelon, who is currently recovering from his injuries, the remaining five have all boarded the Stormbird gunship and are heading towards the flagship."

"More Auxilia and Adeptus Mechanicus are behind us; reinforcements are on their way to the flagship."

"Okay, I'll send you my current coordinates. Head towards the nearest landing site and meet me there."

Good news.

The Sons of the Emperor in Byzas were also rushing toward him.

Everything will be alright once reinforcements arrive!

Kasgar thought optimistically.

But the problem seemed to be far more complicated to solve than Kasgar had imagined.

Looking through the floor-to-ceiling window, a slender Sailing Ship in the Eldar style had appeared near their flagship at some point.

"Damn it, is this never going to end?!"
