I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 226 Chaotic Battle: Unexpected Allies

"All units spread out and engage in boarding combat!"

Chapter Master Nerva immediately gave the order to change tactics.

The entire fleet pressed forward and engaged in close combat with the enemy fleet.

The warships were separated by hundreds of kilometers, which was almost face-to-face in space. The broadside cannons kept bombarding each other, and they launched landing capsules at each other, launching boarding battles.

There was a fierce bayonet fight between the warships of both sides.

Transforming the bombardment into close combat will undoubtedly effectively weaken the opponent's artillery advantage. If the planet killer wants to continue attacking human warships, it will most likely destroy the Chaos warships next to it.

In fact, planet killers do just that.

In order to win, the flagship of the Black Legion was willing to kill its own people. As long as it judged that the casualties between the enemy and itself would be a sure win, it would fire without mercy.

The human fleet was rapidly reduced from more than 30 ships to a dozen. Relying on the cover of the frigates, the Chapter Master drove the Fire Phoenix and finally rushed to the vicinity of the Planet Killer, and personally led his men to launch a boarding battle.

Joining him on board was the commando team led by Captain Bal of the 3rd Company of the Great Shark.

Both battleships launched a simultaneous assault on the planet killer.

But at the same time they were also besieged by several Chaos warships around them, bombarded and boarded, and it was a complete melee.

After the Chapter Master landed on the Planet Killer, he immediately encountered huge resistance.

A tall Chaos Space Marine wearing Terminator Power Armor personally led the elite soldiers of the Black Legion to stop the Ash Claw Company.

"Falkus Cayber is here. How dare you, foolish human, enter the Warmaster's carriage."

"You are asking for your own death!"

When Nerva heard the name, his expression became solemn.

As a Terran veteran who had lived for thousands of years, he had heard of the name of Falkus Cayber, a fierce general who had served under the Warmaster during the Horus era. Now he was the top general under the Great Plunderer Abaddon, and his notoriety spread throughout the galaxy.

When Nerva was still a new recruit of the Raven Guard, his opponent was already a captain with great achievements in battle.

Looking at Fakus's hideous red head covered with scales and his ostentatious demon horns, Nerva knew that this powerful Astartes warrior had now been completely transformed into a demon by the power of the evil god and must be even more powerful.

He did not dare to take it lightly and immediately ordered his soldiers to launch a long-range attack to test the opponent's strength.

"Come out and fuck me face to face, you bastard!"

The Demon Space Marine roared angrily and charged into the hail of bullets. The explosive shells hit his Terminator Power Armor, causing flames to burst out but leaving only faint scratches.

There was no way to stop his bull-like charge.

In a blink of an eye, Fakus led a group of Chaos Space Marines and rushed to Nerva. The Ash Claw warriors had to pick up melee weapons and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

Chapter Master Nerva faced the powerful demon warrior alone and immediately felt tremendous pressure. He was forced to retreat repeatedly by the opponent's huge strength and swift attack.

[This guy is so strong! ]

If it were someone else, he would probably be defeated within a few moves.

But the chapter leader, relying on the experience accumulated from tens of thousands of years of fighting, was able to briefly contend with the enemy.

But without a miracle, everyone can clearly see that the chapter leader is no match for the demon warriors, and it is only a matter of time before he is defeated.

On the other side, the troops of Captain Baal of the Third Company of the Sharknado were also strongly blocked by the Chaos Space Marines.

Leading the way was Vortigern, leader of the Lost Lions, traitor to the Dark Angels, and one of Abaddon's most powerful generals.

Just as the Space Marines of both sides were engaged in a brutal fight in the narrow cabin, the Planet Killer in space slowly turned around, aimed its gun at Persephone not far away, and the Doomsday Cannon began to accumulate energy.

"Oh no, they're going to blow up Persephone!"

Seeing this, the surrounding human warships immediately launched a fierce attack on the planet killer. A warship commanded by Persephone's mortal troops even sailed towards the planet killer at full speed, choosing to perish together with the other party by colliding with it.

However, the resistance of the human forces was blocked by the Chaos fleet.

Before the frigate hit the planet killer, a small Chaos frigate hit it first at a faster speed.

The former's heroic act of dying together with his partner was shattered.

Other warships were entangled by two, three, or even more enemy ships and could not get close to the planet killer at all.

Just as the Planet Killer was about to unleash a devastating bombardment, a beam of emerald green light suddenly came from deep space and hit the subspace energy reactor in the middle of the Planet Killer battleship.

Green explosion flames rose up on the surface of the blood-red battleship, and the energy storage of the Doomsday Cannon was instantly interrupted.

The explosion caused the warship to shake violently, forcing both sides who were fighting inside to stop fighting.

Nerva made a prompt decision and ordered: "Retreat!"

Withdraw from the battlefield with the remaining Ash Claws.

The enemy is too strong. If this continues, all of his elite Ash Claws will probably be left on the enemy ship.

It's not worth it for a newly conquered galaxy.

The Ash Claws cannot end here!

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion, the Ash Claws successfully evacuated the battlefield. Baal, who received the notice, also withdrew from the enemy ship with the Sharknado warriors.

In space, a crescent-shaped alien warship was shuttling through the battlefield under the watchful eyes of both humans and Chaos, emitting destructive green beams.

The jet-black ship's hull was covered with circuit-like green lines, emitting a ghostly green light. It was larger than an imperial battleship, but had the flexibility of a frigate.

The green light cannon, which looks weaker than the light spear, has incredible destructive power and can destroy a Chaos warship with a single shot.

The Chaos warship's void shield and solid adamantium armor were like paper and shattered at the slightest touch.

[Necrons...]

The commanders of the Ash Claws, who have been active in the Ghoul Galaxy for many years, have already recognized the origin of this alien warship.

It is an alien race that has only appeared in the Milky Way in the last thousand years. Its origins are extremely mysterious and it possesses incredible technological capabilities.

The Necrons' warship technology far exceeds that of the human Empire.

There are many records in the Empire where an Imperial fleet surrounded an enemy warship, but ended up with the entire Imperial fleet being annihilated and the enemy ship successfully escaping.

——Everyone knows that [escape] is a flattering statement made by the Empire to save face. In fact, they were just evacuating, and destroying another fleet would not be a big problem.

If these aliens were not so rare in number, elusive, and seemed to have no interest in fighting wars and conquering planets, they would probably have surpassed the greenskins, Zerg, and demons to become a major concern for the human empire.

"Why are the Necrons joining in the fun?"

"Damn! Could it be that he has his eyes on that treasure too?"

"Fuck! If we had known earlier we should have thrown that thing into the sun and burned it!"

(Zhang Hong: Thank you for listening to me.)

The commanders of the Ash Claws began to regret their actions.

The thought of plague outbreaks, demon invasions, and Necrons meddling was all caused by that thing.

If I had known earlier, I should not have coveted the power of that object of unknown origin, but destroyed it.

"The whole army strikes back!"

After Chapter Master Nerva understood the situation, he immediately ordered the entire army to launch a fierce attack.

Although we don't know the intentions of the Necrons, it seems to be on the side of humans and helping humans fight against the Chaos fleet. This is a good opportunity to give them a good beating when they are down.
