The Holy Imperial Navy Never Retreats!

One of the Imperial Navy's patrol squadrons, positioned on the flank, became the first point of attack.

Thanks to the retreat at the front, a gap appeared in the crescent-shaped defensive line formed by the Imperium fleet, and Abaddon, the most Chaos Warmaster, naturally would not miss this opportunity.

He immediately ordered the Chaos flagship, which was stationed on the flank, to rush into the Imperium right-wing naval formation at top speed and eliminate these naval escort fleets that posed the greatest threat to Chaos!

Soon, the blasphemous flagship of Chaos, that Eight-pointed Star that spawned nauseating flesh and blood warships, moved through the sea of stars at top speed, heading straight for the Imperial Navy escort fleet!

In fact, the Imperial Navy also had corresponding tactics for such charges.

First, there was the interception by light torpedoes, and then the targeted attacks by Light Lance.

But this time, the Chaos flagship heading towards them seemed to be blessed by the Chaos Gods, with several interceptors flying over the artillery fire and blocking their way.

The Macro Cannon Array roared!

That was the wrath of the Emperor, a powerful Imperium weapon capable of incinerating all heretics!

Tens of thousands of sailors scurried across the deck, carrying heavy cannonballs and loading them into the breech of the Macrocannon, praying that they would hit the enemy!

The Chaos fleet retaliated!

Heavy Macrocannon, a barrage powerful enough to shock even Titans, struck the Void Shield of the escort fleet, causing terrifying explosions that violently shook the entire warship!

After the brief tremors subsided, Commissar Hughes, the Commissar of the cruiser HMS Black Sword, received bad news.

The port side of the ship's Macro Cannon Array deck has been completely paralyzed by those damned Chaos scum who boarded!

Meanwhile, the Chaos Fleet, which had a numerical advantage, was already approaching in their line of sight. As they drew closer, countless boarding planes, like damned termites, were firmly nailed to the hull of the ships!

Boom!

Another loud bang.

From the communications array came screams, piercing cries, and—the worst news!

The Black Sword patrol ship had completely lost its firepower in the Chaos boarding action, and all the Macro Cannon Array on both sides of the ship were paralyzed!

The Void Shield was also completely disabled!

The only good news is that the Warp Engine are still operating at sufficient power, and the Chaos scum are temporarily unable to breach the command deck.

Commissar Hurst knew very well that they had reached the last moment; the entire fleet had completely lost the weapons to continue fighting Chaos.

This Commissar was a very burly man with several gruesome scars on his face. These were the honors he earned in his bloody battles against Chaos, and the medals he had won throughout his life.

But at that moment, Commissar Hurst gripped his Power sword and, in a hoarse voice, issued his final order to the entire crew, "Black Sword — Warp Engine at full power, target— Chaos flagship!!!"

Yes, on the Black Sword, the ship to which he had served his entire life, Hughes's final order was to charge at full speed toward the Chaos Fleet!

Since the Black Sword has lost its combat capability, then---"Let the Black Sword be the last one."

Fire the Macrocannon at Chaos!

"May the Emperor protect you, holy warrior!"

"Fear not, fear not, we will become the cornerstone of the Imperium, for victory—" "Full speed ahead! Warp Engine at full power!!!"

"Smash them!"

"Let those damned heretical scum see what the Emperor's navy is like!"

At this moment, the Black Sword was not the only ship to make the same choice as Commissar Hughes.

Those Imperial Navy, whose weapon arrays had been crippled by Chaos's boarding and decapitation strike, were like madmen, recklessly charging towards Chaos in their frigates and cruisers!

They will use their lives to form the last line of defense protecting the main force of the Imperial Navy, and even their comrades!

"For the Emperor!!"

"The sacred Imperial Navy never retreats!!"

"Come on, you scum of Chaos!"

With the mindset of "I'll blow you up," the Imperial Navy's flank briefly halted the Chaos fleet, preventing the entire line from being torn apart and falling into enemy encirclement.

But this was ultimately only temporary.

The Imperium's defenses have almost completely collapsed.

Even an ordinary person who doesn't understand war can see the current situation: the Imperium is already at its last gasp. The defensive fleet on the entire star map has been almost completely cut into several parts that cannot cooperate in combat by the Chaos Fleet.

Defeat is only a matter of time!

It's simply a matter of how much victory the Chaos Fleet wants, or whether Chaos Warmaster Abaddon wants to expand the victory madly.

The initiative on the battlefield has completely fallen into the hands of Chaos, and the Imperium of Man is on the verge of collapse!

"Pass on my order: each fleet, begin your breakout to the nearest vulnerable position." Calgar, sitting expressionlessly in the command center, said, "Have Black Mane Great Company, Brass Hands, and Iron Warriors cover the Imperial Navy's retreat!"

"Hahaha, still struggling?" Abaddon, sitting atop the Arks of Omen, grinned maliciously. "Calgar, you can't escape!"

Looking at the Imperium forces that were almost completely routed, Abaddon felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. He couldn't wait to take the head of this Ultramarines Chapter Master, one of the three pillars of the Imperium, and hailed as the perfect Ultramarines!

Surely, offering this head as a sacrifice to Chaos Gods would earn its praise?!

"Push them up! Push them all up!"

Abaddon, brimming with confidence, raised his arm and roared, "Give us the entire fleet! Don't let Calgar escape!!!"

He wants to relive the tragedy of the world of Fortress of Cadia on Alert Star, so that the scars of the curse will completely isolate the Dark Imperium!

"Very good, that's it!"

Calgar was very patient, like a fisherman, casting out the bait and waiting quietly for the fish to take the bait.

He and Abaddon were "old friends".

How could it not be clear what this cunning Chaos Marshal was plotting?

Wanting to swallow the Imperial Navy whole? Quite an appetite, but alas... Calgar sneered, "Since you want it, you can have it, but the price is—your life!!!"

He continued to wait patiently, while the cunning enemy, unable to resist greed, sought to expand their gains.

Recklessly, it bared its sharp teeth and lunged forward, wanting to tear his throat completely.

The decisive moment was just that one instant!

Among the stakes of billions of lives, there was naturally him, the Supreme Commander of Alert Star and the Ultramarines Chapter, who was the most important bait!

"Didn't you want my head?"

Calgar. Even he, having paid such a high price, couldn't help feeling anxious at this crucial moment. He stared intently at the Chaos flagship, silently calculating the distance in his mind. "Closer, closer—I'll be waiting for you right here, Abaddon!"
