Lunar-class Cruiser In the bridge, Valerius stared at the surveillance screen full of screens, his face solemn.

He found that he couldn't understand Fu Haoran's tactics!

From the moment they boarded the ship to the present, this group of army bastards who jumped into gangs were bumping around in the passage like headless flies, shooting and changing places. They did not follow the rules of Imperial Navy gang-hopping warfare at all.

What's even more outrageous is that they ran further and further away, and actually plunged into the hangar at the rear of the ship.

The hangar is located directly below the bridge, with a straight line distance of 600 meters, separated by more than a dozen airtight decks and dozens of blocked passages.

"What kind of tactic is this? How are they going to fight up? Are they going to fly up?"

Valerius is extremely disgusted with this kind of playing style that does not follow the routine.

Wait!

A thought suddenly flashed into his mind, and Valerius instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Captain's exclusive emergency elevator!"

This is a fast escape channel reserved for the captain. It can go directly from the bridge to the hangar, so that when the captain is attacked, he can directly escape by carrier-based aircraft.

Although it is not used most of the time, it must be equipped as standard on every Imperial capital ship.

"So that's what that kid had in mind!"

"Deliberately detour to the hangar, avoid all frontal defenses, take the emergency elevator and go straight to the bridge, complete the beheading, and then take over the entire ship!"

"What a plan!"

"You underestimated this bunch of mud-legged troops!"

Valerius wanted to cut off the power, but suddenly realized that he only had basic permissions and no power to shut down at all.

After all, this ship was rented by him, and it is impossible for Rogue Trader to hand over the highest control to him.

Good, good, good calculation.

"Send the order! All mobile forces, duty teams, and gang members in the ship must assemble around the bridge! Build a three-layer defense position! As long as someone comes out of the elevator, shoot them to death!"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment. "Sir, the defense of the hangar and other passages..."

"Don't worry!" Valerius sneered, with a face full of determination, "His target is only the bridge! All the troops will be pinned to the bridge! I want to see how this kid breaks through!"

Valerius feels like he has seen through everything.

In the hangar, Fu Haoran was facing a dazzling array of goods, showing no interest.

He stared at the map mark on System Panel, his face as dark as Valerius.

Fu Haoran Found a huge BUG.

The distance marked by the cheating system is displayed in a straight line. In other words, he is currently directly under the bridge, with a vertical distance of 600 meters.

"Hey, I thought gang fighting was too simple."

In Fu Haoran's original impression, gang fighting meant fighting all the way and finally meeting the final BOSS. After a fierce battle, he killed the enemy and captured the entire ship.

But the reality is that the map in hand and the actual structure are very different!

The map given by Lucifiel is correct, it is the original design and construction drawing of Lunar-class Cruiser.

But the problem is that this ship was launched almost 2000 years ago and has been renovated and overhauled no less than ten times. Each overhaul is no less than a major surgery on the hull structure.

Later it was sold to Rogue Trader. In order to increase the cargo capacity, the internal compartment was dismantled and rebuilt again.

Original factory drawing?

Now it is no different than waste paper.

Not to mention that this ship is 5 kilometers long and 800 meters wide, with various illegal buildings inside. Once the air-tight door is closed, you can't even tell the east, west, south, and west!

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward.

Fu Haoran took out a crumpled booklet from his tactical backpack and checked his Plan B.

This booklet is the "Emergency Manual for Gang Jumping" officially issued by Imperial Navy. It was obtained by Yuri before boarding the ship.

We can only improvise now.

Fu Haoran opened the booklet.

"Hello, soldier!"

"By the time you read this special edition, I'm sure your butt is already sitting on the seat of Imperial Navy's spacious and comfortable jump boat. The special operations team you have joined is preparing to recapture a starship."

"Boarding an enemy ship, even if the ship has lost power and can only float, and all the weapons systems on it have failed, is still a dangerous thing."

"The landing site is often full of uncertainty, and you will find yourself having to fight through a labyrinth of narrow passages before reaching your target."

"The enemy may have already prepared to deal with the gang jumpers, and you will have to fight a tough battle against well-equipped defenders."

"Don't panic, please follow the instructions on the "Emergency Procedures When Falling into Space" issued by Departmento Munitorum and carry out self-rescue. Our rescue team will rescue you back to the ship as soon as possible."

Fu Haoran's face turned dark. He felt that this booklet was a bit unreliable.

Waiting for someone to come to rescue?

I'm afraid it's too late to even collect the bodies.

Fu Haoran Continue to scroll down.

"Attention! Immediately after boarding an enemy ship, form a combat team with your comrades to ensure maximum mobility in the ship's environment. Use the ship's facilities as cover as much as possible, aim your weapons at the enemy, and then shoot!"

"Use grenades and heavy weapons sparingly to avoid hull damage."

"You have to do this even on an enemy ship. This is to prevent the hull from cracking and important facilities from being damaged. After all, none of you want to be dropped into space, right? If unfortunately the above happens, please follow the methods mentioned before to save yourself."

"If you do the above and are unfortunately blown out of the hull and fall into space, remember the following: hold your breath, cover your nose, mouth and eyes, and turn on your emergency lights."

"Recite the Vacuum Prayer, slide your arms and legs in a swimming motion towards the breach to get back to the boat; or wait for the rescue team to get you back to the boat."

Fu Haoran raised his eyes and looked at the passage behind him that had been riddled with holes by his own blasts, silently ignoring this one.

"Attention, be sure to bring dry food before joining a gang, because this is destined to be a protracted battle!"

"A sailor may serve on a battleship for a lifetime and never walk through the corridors of the ship."

"For those of you who only know a little bit of information, or even don't understand the internal map of the battleship they will be transported to, it is almost impossible to find the mission target in this intricate network of corridors."

"So listen to me and go where there are many enemies. The enemy will not waste their troops in unimportant places."

Seeing this, Fu Haoran's heart suddenly sank.

Valerius As Brigadier General Imperial Navy, it is impossible that he has not read this manual.

He has now 100% guarded all key positions, especially the bridge, with heavy troops.

The problem is, this group of people has not encountered any decent resistance so far!

That is to say...

"This place is not important at all!"

Fu Haoran gritted his teeth and continued to scroll down.

"Be aware that the space constraints of gang-hopping battles will inevitably affect the way you fight."

"You may no longer expect artillery or the luxury of mechanized support."

"In the confines of a hostile ship, the only people you can rely on are you, you Lasgun, and your unshakable faith in the Emperor."

"But fear not! You will enter these dangerous passages side by side with your comrades, sharing lofty goals and personal privacy."

"Even if your righteous firepower fails to achieve its target in extreme circumstances, your advancing bodies can serve as a reliable barrier between senior officers and the oncoming enemy."

"Things to remember before engaging in a firefight inside an enemy ship:"

1. Check your position. Do not fire from the second row of the team, but remember to stand between the officer and the enemy.

2. Stay vigilant! The bulkhead will protect you while limiting your field of vision. It is best to ensure that your shouts can be heard by nearby officers.

3. Occupy every open space! Doors and corners can easily cause tragedy, so be extremely careful when approaching.

4. Don't dig trenches, because there is only a deep and hungry void under your feet!

Fu Haoran looked at the last item and fell into deep thought.

He really wanted to arrest the person who wrote this manual and ask him how to dig trenches on a steel deck?

Give the soles of your feet a shot of Melta Bomb?

This manual is from the official Imperial Navy manual. I can't say it is completely useless. I can only say that it feels hard to wipe my butt.

The reality now facing Fu Haoran is cruel.

There is no Tech-Priest who is familiar with the terrain to lead the way, there is no accurate map inside the ship, and there is no continuous support like the regular army of the empire.

According to the manual, it is common for regular fleet-level gang-hopping battles to last for several days or even half a month.

But Hive City can't wait.

Although the nobles on the ground are under control, the remnants of the private army are still resisting stubbornly, and reinforcements from Valerius may jump to the galaxy at any time.

Let alone days, they couldn't even last for thirteen hours.

Did this beheading operation fail just like that?

Fu Haoran lowered his head and glanced at System Panel. The mission [Jump Gang Beheading] was still on. There was only one core goal: kill Valerius Costa and complete the beheading.

Fu Haoran suddenly realized something and took off the little guy from behind.

This is exactly the small tactical mushroom bomb brought back by Marvel.

An idea that works wonders with great force took shape in Fu Haoran's mind.

"The system only requires killing, but it doesn't say how to kill the target."

"The gift I prepared for Valerius seems to be used in advance."
