I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 218 Death Trap Black Legion

Celia followed Kraken's gaze into the distance.

With the same sad look, he sighed, "No. But humans have no better choice."

"In this cruel war in the galaxy, mortals are too fragile."

"Yes, fragile... After all, humans are just too weak."

The Great Sage's mind is as clear as a mirror. If he were the commander and had enough troops, he could adopt a more merciful tactic, sending reinforcements to each hive city and suppressing the rebellion with absolute military advantage.

Unlike now, we can only watch the starships bombing the city.

Massacre of billions or even tens of billions of fellow human beings.

In this cruel universe, weakness is the original sin of mankind...

"Is the war over?"

Watching the starships continue to bombard, the Angel of Vengeance asked the Great Sage.

The great sage shook his head, looked deeply into the burning sky, and said meaningfully, "No. Quite the opposite."

In Hive No. 66, plasma macrocannon shells continued to fall on the hive, and the huge steel buildings collapsed and melted.

Three kilometers deep underground, the bottom nest was constantly shaking, collapsing, and sinking layer by layer.

But in its core area, there is an area covered by purple light that is safe and sound. No matter how hard the bombing is from above or how the nest collapses, this place is not affected.

A huge subspace portal stood in the hall, and demons continuously walked out of it, casting spells and distorting the surrounding physical space. Affected by the powerful subspace energy, this place has acquired some extraordinary property of being immune to physical damage.

"Blow it up, blow it up. The more people die, the better...hahahaha."

The cult leader in the darkness laughed happily.

As the screams and cries of the slaughtered in the hive world seemed to penetrate time and space, the evil energy of the subspace in the bottom nest became thicker and more boiling.

This situation occurred not only in this hive city, but in almost all the hive cities that had been subjected to orbital bombardment.

The death of a large number of intelligent lives and the painful screams of countless souls before death caused a huge wave in the subspace.

There was once a corrupted Primarch who, by sacrificing an entire planet's worth of humanity and sparking a war that affected several star systems, created a massive warp storm that tore the galaxy apart.

At one point, the human empire entered a dark age.

Today, a similar scene is happening on Persephone.

Nearly two-thirds of the planet's population was massacred, and the huge resentment generated immediately caused terrible turmoil in the subspace.

Under the guidance of the bottom nest magic circles spread all over the planet, the subspace storm can be seen appearing on the surface of the planet with the naked eye. Purple mist permeates the space, expanding, deepening and thickening from the depths of the void.

[Warning! Abnormal fluctuations in subspace energy detected! ]

On the Flamingo, the astrologer's warning was quickly transmitted to the command deck, and the images observed by the telescope were projected in front of the commanders.

Watching the subspace storm group quickly forming in space, like a purple typhoon.

Julius and others realized that their massacre had fallen into the enemy's trap and had caused terrible consequences, but it was too late.

The subspace storm swirled and expanded, turning into a huge exit, through which a ferocious fleet passed.

They were warships decorated with huge eight-pointed star symbols, with spikes, horns, skulls and bones all over their hulls, exuding an evil aura. Some were also covered with wriggling tentacles, rotten flesh, and bloody mouths with terrifying fangs, looking like living warships.

It emits a terrifying red light or an eerie green light, like a ghost ship from the world of the dead.

Looking at this fleet emerging from the warp, the Ash Claw commanders on the Flamingo suddenly changed their expressions.

"Damn it! It's the Black Legion!"

Julius looked very unhappy.

What made him feel even more depressed and suffocated was that the other side had more than a hundred warships of various types, which was dozens of times the number of his fleet (six ships).

There are two cruisers alone, four light cruisers, as many as twelve destroyers, and dozens of other small ships.

On the Ash Claw side, there was only one light cruiser, the Flamingo, as well as one destroyer and four frigates.

This is a power comparison where one round of salvos will kill the opponent in seconds.

why?

Why would the main force of the Black Legion go to a remote place like the Hades Galaxy?

Is it...

Julius and the others immediately thought of the lost "holy object" and realized that the Chaos Forces were most likely chasing after that "holy object".

The plague invasion on Persephone was just a foreshadowing of the invasion by Chaos forces, just to create enough casualties to create a "guiding coordinate" for the Chaos fleet.

"Julius, although it is unpleasant, we may have to run away immediately."

"It's impossible to defend here!"

Sagan said seriously.

Julius nodded. "Now we have no choice but to retreat as soon as possible and preserve our strength before the enemy surrounds us."

Fighting to the death knowing that you are defeated and it is meaningless is not bravery but stupidity.

Julius immediately ordered the warships to retreat separately and retreat to the outskirts of the Hades galaxy.

Seeing Ash Claw run away without hesitation, the commander on the Chaos Fleet flagship laughed.

"You are a bunch of weaklings, Pluto. I'll leave those little mice to you."

The leader of this Black Legion fleet was the Lord of Ravage, Dram Korda, who sent one of his leaders to chase after the fleeing Ash Claws.

Then an order was given over the fleet radio: "Boys, let the party begin!"

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull throne!"

The Chaos Fleet split into three, with the two smaller fleets heading for the Hive Worlds of Hecate and Melinoe, and the larger fleet heading for the Prime Planet Persephone.

"Rain death!"

The Chaos Fleet arrived above the three Hive Planets and immediately launched countless airdrop pods. Tens of thousands of airdrop pods broke through the atmosphere, and the sky was instantly filled with shining points of light as if it were a sky full of stars.

The people in the hive world were attracted by the sudden appearance of beautiful light, but only a few realized that behind this gorgeous scene was a horrific disaster and death.

"Stop right there, you running dog of the false emperor!"

The leader of the Black Legion, Pluto, kept cursing at the Ash Claw fleet on the public communication channel, biting the Flamingo's tail tightly and not giving it the chance to make a warp jump.

While chasing, the Light Spear on the spaceship kept firing, preventing the Flamingo from escaping.

At the same time, he ordered several fast frigates to go around to the front at full speed to intercept them, vowing to catch these escaped rats.

boom!

Under the continuous concentrated fire of the enemy's light spears, the Flamingo's void shield was quickly overloaded, and then the rear engine area was concentrated by artillery fire.

"Main engine damaged, power lost!"

The Flamingo slowed down and was immediately surrounded by enemy ships.

"Hahaha, don't destroy it. I'm going to catch the rats on it myself!"

The Chaos pursuit fleet's bombardment completely destroyed the Flamingo's mobility and most of its turrets, and then immediately approached and launched a special airborne drop pod for boarding battles. Chaos General Pluto and a group of Chaos Space Marines personally rushed into the Flamingo excitedly.
