Chapter 820, Regardless of the Cost
Alvin and Shaka are certainly not fighting alone.
They were betrayed by the Chapter - you can say they betrayed the Chapter, it doesn't matter. However, the Alliance always stood firmly behind them.
And it was not just the Space Marine Regiment Unforgotten that participated in the Battle of Ruku.
The alliance's army and navy are the real backbone.
And seeing that the three Dragon Elephant fighters ran away at first, but soon received orders from their superiors and quickly returned to the battlefield to provide support for them, it was known that the alliance commander in charge of Ruku Star might know something.
At least I received extra instructions before coming.
That's why the three fighter planes flew back when Alvin and Shaka needed help the most.
Well, next, you can ask them for greater support, of course!
The facts were just as they expected.
Soon, after gathering more than 30 soldiers of the Pure Fire Brotherhood, he did not continue to wait for the remaining people who were not sure whether they could arrive. He took all the Brotherhood members around him and boarded the spaceship, a light aircraft carrier of the Alliance - the Iron Curtain.
With this light aircraft carrier as the core, the entire alliance fleet launched a pursuit of the ship carrying the Grand Master of the Unforgotten Oath, Milorila.
The Unforgotten Oath secretly hid a fast assault ship on the back of the Luku satellite. The size of this ship is about the same as a destroyer of the navy. It is very difficult to secretly drive a large starship here. Being able to drive a fast assault ship is already the limit, and there is really no way to get the battle barge of the regiment.
But this fast assault ship also has its advantages: it is flexible and fast enough.
Even though the Alliance Navy had received orders to move as soon as the conflict on the ground broke out, it still failed to block the ship of the Unforgotten Oath on the back of the satellite.
Although the Iron Curtain and its entire fleet were chasing relentlessly, there was a huge gap in sailing speed. Not only did the two sides fail to close the gap, but they were getting further and further apart.
If the situation continues to develop in this way, the final result will be that the Unforgettable Oath will successfully escape.
And this result now seems inevitable.
However, at this time, Alvin put forward a new suggestion: he would lead the team to launch a boarding operation against the enemy ship.
Even if it is impossible to destroy the warship from the inside, at least it is necessary to disrupt and weaken the opponent's ability to move, and prevent the warship from escaping at full speed.
The targets are places like the engine room, bridge, and energy compartment.
The fleet commander was horrified at the proposal.
Now, they were already quite far away from the enemy ships. Normally, it would be impossible to carry out a landing operation. However, at present, since the Iron Curtain they were on was a light aircraft carrier, they barely had the ability to do so.
Aircraft carriers can launch multiple Dragon Elephant fighters to significantly shorten the distance with the enemy. At the same time, the flexibility and short burst speed of the Dragon Elephant fighter are faster than ordinary warships. Although the endurance is very poor, it can still catch up with the burst speed at all costs. The Dragon Elephant fighter will be equipped with a landing capsule, and its burst speed after being launched is also very fast.
However, these are actions at all costs.
The Dragon Elephant fighters have very poor endurance on the scale of the universe. Using their precious burst speed on pursuit almost means that they will not be able to come back later and can only float in space and wait for ships to come and collect them.
The soldiers dropped from the landing capsule basically had no way to return. There were several hundred Space Marines on the opposite ship, and a large number of elite mortal auxiliary troops of the war group. Alvin brought about thirty people, wouldn't it be courting death?
In the fleet commander's opinion, the actions of Alvin and his men were purely an attempt to risk their own lives to see if they could delay the enemy ship.
To be honest, he was not very willing to do something that was costly, risky, and had a low probability of success.
It wasn't just Alvin and his squadron of more than 30 people who were going to die. On the fleet side, the elite Marines would also have to be deployed in large numbers. Those warriors equipped with feedback power armor and sentinel mechas should also be able to help the battle to some extent.
But do we really want to throw all these elite Marines into this kind of gambling where the probability of success is very low and if we fail, the whole army will be wiped out and nothing will be gained?
But under Alvin's strong request, he hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.
…
Thirty-four power armors lined up in the landing bay, and the click of the bolter's safety being released was continuous.
There was one landing capsule like theirs in every nearby Dragon Elephant fighter. There were a total of fifteen Dragon Elephant fighters waiting to be launched.
In addition to their thirty-four Space Marines, there were also 700 elite Marines participating in the battle.
"Remember, after the landing site is established, we only need to guard the docking bay and wait for the follow-up Marine Corps troops to arrive. Next, they will take over the defense and try to attract the attention of the traitors." Alvin shared the tactical diagram to the neural link network, "When that time comes, I will lead the team to attack the bridge as a feint, and then immediately turn back to cooperate with the Shaka team to attack the engine room..."
He is making tactical arrangements.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw that Shaka's eyes were gradually getting brighter - really brighter. The azure light, from being barely visible, gradually became brighter, and now it was impossible to ignore it.
"Shaka?"
"…The Governor is talking to me."
"!!!"
Alvin was shocked.
A conversation? With the Governor? With Mr. Gu?
How is this possible? They are two universes apart and there is no Star Language Tower here, so how can they communicate?
After a moment, a smile appeared on Shaka's face.
The light in his eyes calmed down a little, but it was really just more reserved.
He said to Alvin, "We will win, believe me. Just bring me within 500 meters of the energy chamber and everything will be over."
Alvin's expression gradually changed from confusion and shock to joy.
…
A group of Dragon Elephant fighters were ejected from the belly of the ship.
The fighter jets launched by the aircraft carrier crossed an unknown distance of tens of thousands of kilometers in the physical universe in an instant and reached the extreme projection position.
Immediately afterwards, all the Dragon Elephant fighters began to ignite their engines, their speed was increased to an extremely fast level, and they chased the enemy ships ahead.
From the view shared in his helmet, Alvin saw the golden-painted shuttles drawing spiral tracks in the vacuum, with black landing capsules hanging under each wing. The blue flag of the Alliance fluttered in the fusion flames, and a kind of pressure beyond the laws of physics made his heart begin to heat up.
A moment later, the group of fighter jets arrived at the combat area.
The enemy ships had obviously discovered their tracks, and the firepower on the fast assault ships began to fire.
At the same time, the macro-cannon salvos of the Dragon Elephant fighter group were also firing with great force, and the shells exploded on the surface of the assault ship's void shield, creating rainbow-colored ripples.
While the two sides were exchanging fire, the landing capsules were also launched.
Under cover of the third salvo, Alvin's landing capsule pierced into the belly of the enemy ship, and the gap torn by the adamantine ram spewed out a cloud of oxygen mixed with powder.
The moment the landing pod broke into the enemy ship's armor, the psychic lightning that burst out from Shaka's pupils illuminated the inside of everyone's visor. The already damaged area was further enlarged to make it easier for the soldiers to leave the hatch and go down.
"Fan-shaped propulsion." Alvin's order was converted into data pulses by the throat speaker, and the double-headed eagle emblems on the chests of thirty-four power armors lit up at the same time.
Before the enemy arrived, they quickly opened up the area from here to the docking bay and initially established a landing site. Some ship servants they encountered along the way were easily wiped out.
But they won't always be so unimpeded.
The veterans of the regiment who had been prepared and waiting for those who landed to come up and "die" had already appeared.
When the first enemy rushed out from the main gate, Alvin saw clearly that it was the finely crafted power armor belonging to Ryan, the chief pharmacist of the regiment.
Following behind him were more than a squad of veterans of the chapter.
Neither side said a word, and the fierce battle reached its peak in the first second.
Shaka's battle cry carried with it psychic fluctuations, which shattered the first wave of long-range attacks launched by the enemy into quantum dust.
This scene even made his good brother Alvin look sideways - although Shaka's psychic strength was very high, it was not as strong as it is now. His shining eyes, which could not even be completely covered by the tactical helmet, were so shocking.
With the help of his psychic powers, even though the Chief Pharmacist had considerable combat power, the final result was doomed.
They quickly eliminated all the enemies in front of them.
When Alvin's sledgehammer smashed the breastplate of the last former battle-brother, less than five minutes had passed and an entire tactical squad of chapter veterans was gone.
The chief pharmacist was specially spared. The captured Orion was pulled out of his power armor and his limbs were chopped off.
The price they paid was only one death and two serious injuries.
Next, more elite marines arrived.
During the landing, some landing capsules were damaged. However, under the desperate cover of the Dragon Elephant fighter group, eleven of the fourteen landing capsules carrying the Marines still completed the landing.
More than 500 elite marines arrived at the warship that never forgot its oath.
They began to build a defensive line and tried to advance.
And the second wave of veterans of the regiment also arrived.
This time, it is not just the scale of a small team.
But an entire company.
During the fierce exchange of fire, a dozen soldiers of the Pure Fire Brotherhood stayed behind to assist the Marines in the battle. Alvin and Shaka, with the remaining twenty people, shifted the target of the battle.
