Warhammer III

A few days later, the huge fleet left the Watch Fortress one after another and headed for the Tiamat Galaxy.

The Tiamat Galaxy is a binary star system consisting of two stars. The blue star is called Tiamat and the other red giant is called Apsu. The eleven planets are far away from the two stars, and their orbits are equivalent to orbiting one star.

The galaxy is full of hive ships, each of which is hundreds of kilometers apart. Like detectors throughout the galaxy, any warship entering the galaxy will be discovered by the hive consciousness.

These hive ships also strengthened the subspace shadows in the Tiamat Galaxy, causing great interference to the subspace navigation of the Imperial Fleet.

In the end, only half of the warships of the First Fleet successfully entered the Tiamat Galaxy. The formation of this half of the warships was also disrupted, and they were scattered around the periphery of the galaxy after leaving the subspace.

The commander of the First Fleet, Lord of Watch, Vernus, and Admiral Priestley immediately asked the scattered warships to gather towards the tenth planet. Only when the fleet was assembled again could it face the Tiamat Hive Fleet head-on.

During this period, the hive ships throughout the galaxy also gathered into a huge tentacle, and under the command of the hive will, they came to devour the first fleet.

Faced with the huge hive tentacles and endless hive ships, the first fleet did not escape but went up to meet them, and contacted the hive tentacles in the far orbit of the eighth planet.

As the light spear array of the Imperial Navy warships illuminated the void, a tragic space battle began. The biological ships and steel warships poured out different types of ammunition, and the light formed by the explosion even illuminated the dark side of the eighth planet.

The combat plan of the first fleet was simple, giving priority to attacking the hive mothership where Queen Norn was located. Although killing Queen Norn would produce new Queen Norn, it would take time for those newly born Queen Norn to play a role. This period of time could cause large-scale chaos to the hive fleet, which was conducive to the combat operations of the second fleet.

The hive mothership is the core of all Tyranid hive fleets and is an indispensable and vital force for any hive fleet.

The hive mothership is an incredibly huge biological ship, a psychic node of the hive consciousness, and can command other biological ships around it.

Each Hive Ship is also a huge biological factory, where the Norn Queen replicates the genome obtained by the swarm and splices different genes together to create a swarm that perfectly adapts to each new world and new environment.

Away from the battlefield, millions of Tyranid creatures sleep in the Hive Ship. When they are awakened, endless Tyranid creatures will tear and devour all enemies.

Hive Ships are also terrible enemies in space battles. Although the forms of Hive Ships vary, their stone-like armor plating and rich biological weapons are almost the common points of all Hive Ships.

Hive Ships are also protected by thick defensive spore clouds and are equipped with long-range weapons such as fire acid turrets, biological plasma stingers, and launch cabins. Some Hive Ships also have huge biological force field claws as melee weapons. Facing the most powerful battleships of the Human Empire or alien battleships of other races, the powerful firepower of Hive Ships is fully capable of matching.

While the First Fleet was restraining the Tiamat Hive Tentacles, the Second Fleet then entered the Tiamat Galaxy.

The Blackstone Fortress and the Nachmond Expedition warships docked on it did not separate, but acted as a whole. The warships of the Mechanicus were scattered in different directions, all away from the Blackstone Fortress.

The scattered Mechanicus warships did not merge together, but like the Blackstone Fortress, they went straight to the third planet, Ziapriya.

The purpose of this was to avoid attracting the attention of the hive consciousness and reach the destination, Ziapriya, at the fastest speed. However, on the way to the destination, almost every warship of the scattered second fleet encountered multiple hive ships that came to intercept.

Some warships pushed away the enemy with long-range macro cannon salvos, staggered their orbits and continued to move forward; some warships were swallowed up by huge hive ships after consuming ammunition, and countless Tyranid creatures poured into the warships, fighting with the Triple Farr's Guardians and fighter servants.

The Inquisition's black ship "Alien Dangzhu" also docked in the turret port of the Blackstone Fortress and sailed to the interior of the galaxy with the Blackstone Fortress.

A large number of imperial troops were stationed in the Alien Dangzhu, including the Stormtroopers led by Inquisitor Kliptman, the Killing Company consisting of five Killing Teams led by Watch Captain Harkins, and the Biological Sage Ellen and his enhanced servitors.

After Inquisitor Kliptman led Watch Captain Harkins and Biological Sage Ellen to leave the Black Ship, they went to the Blackstone Fortress Command Center. They had heard about this alien fortress a long time ago, and they couldn't help but sigh at its huge size when they first boarded the fortress.

"God Emperor bless you, the last time the Killing Team reconnaissance results of the Psychic Lighthouse were hundreds of years old. No one knows the current changes of the Psychic Lighthouse. We'd better send a high-speed warship for close-range reconnaissance. If there are changes on the planet Ziapria, we can discuss countermeasures in advance."

Inquisitor Kliptman explained his purpose. Considering that the Ninth Brotherhood would not be affected by the shadow of the hive, it would be the best choice for the Ninth Brotherhood to command the warship to contact the Psychic Lighthouse first.

After pondering for a moment, Tai Yue agreed to the Inquisitor's request. He decided to send the Uruk strike cruiser to scout the latest situation on the planet Ziapriya.

Captain Nelson led an interceptor team, and Watch Captain Huggins sent a kill team. The two teams boarded the Uruk strike cruiser to carry out the operation.

After leaving the Blackstone Fortress turret port, the Uruk strike cruiser accelerated to the planet Ziapuria. The entire battleship planned to continue to accelerate and pass over the planet Ziapuria at high speed to detect the current status of biological structures on the planet. .

The high-speed Uruk quickly attracted the attention of the Tyranids. A thirty-kilometer-long hive mothership entered the Uruk's path. The biological giant claws on the hive mothership Prepare to tear the Uruk apart.

Faced with this situation, Uruk did not slow down, but continued to maintain its original trajectory.

The Blackstone Fortress's vortex torrent psychic turret was activated at full power, and the ultra-long-range attack turned the hive mothership into pieces. The Uruk passed directly through the gas cloud left by the explosion of the hive mothership.

When approaching the planet Ziapuria, the auspicious instrument on Uruk discovered a surprising fact:

The Chiapriya planet in the forest world was originally transformed into an "ocean planet", and the "sea water" is actually composed of consumable liquid. Only biological structures that have broken through the atmosphere stand on this corrupted ocean!
