Chapter 977: Rapidly Paralyzing the War Potential of the Sixth Star Sector

The hinterlands of the Sixth Star Sector, the void, the Fengchi.

Inside the Bridge, Jaghatai Khan is watching the tactical star map, which displays the battle reports from the Kalun Star Sector.

Sanguinius and his Blood Angels Legion have already cleared out the capital fleet gathered at Ka Lun Star and have conquered Ka Lun Star and its orbital defense platforms.

Jaghatai says with a smile to the White Scars officers beside him.

"Sanguinius, our Angel brother, has already pierced the Alien's defenses with his battle spear!"

Company Commander Bahan rubs his hands together in excitement and speaks.

"Primarch Sanguinius has fulfilled his promise; now, it is our turn!"

Jaghatai nods, sweeping his gaze across the Sixth Star Sector on the star map.

"Sanguinius has drawn all their eyes and smashed their Liaya. Now, these worlds are like flocks of sheep on the steppe that have lost the protection of their alpha wolf. We, the White Scars, are the true protagonists of this hunt! Our speed will determine the progress of the liberation!"

Jaghatai strides to the communication console, his voice reaching every White Scars sub-fleet scattered across the different sectors of the Sixth Star Sector.

"I am Jaghatai! All White Scars warriors, hear my command!

Our brothers, the Blood Angels, have already cleared the greatest obstacles for us! The Alien's attention has been firmly drawn! Now is the moment for us to show our true speed!

I order all sub-fleets: from this moment on, accelerate to full speed! Execute the 'Pale Wolf' liberation protocol! Sweep through every corner of the Sixth Star Sector at the fastest speed possible! Targets—all Human worlds and strategic points still enslaved by the Alien!

Do not hoard engine energy! Do not get entangled with sporadic resistance! Pass through their defensive lines like the wind, and shatter their nodes like lightning! Before the Alien can react, and before they can organize effective resistance, we must bring the Emperor's glory and Human freedom to every world!

Remember the creed of our White Scars: speed is life, speed is power! Let the Alien tremble before our speed! For the Emperor! For Chogoris!"

"For the Khan! For the Emperor!"

Following Jaghatai's order, the White Scars fleets scattered in various locations begin their assault on the Sixth Star Sector!

Canggu Star,

one of the important grain-producing regions of the Sixth Star Sector.

The defensive forces here were not strong to begin with, and after the main force was redeployed, only some old frigates and planetary defense forces remained.

The White Scars' assault fleet, composed of several extremely fast destroyers, appears rapidly on the outskirts of Canggu Star.

"Enemy defense platforms and patrol fleets detected; the numbers are not high, but they will delay our speed."

The Communications Officer says to Ta'erku.

The Fleet Commander, Fifth Company Commander Ta'erku, speaks.

"Ignore them! Charge straight through! The main force will follow me to strike directly at the main planet's orbit, destroying their command hubs and orbital defenses! Landing parties, prepare for forced orbital drop to occupy key agricultural hubs and the Starport!"

This assault fleet does not slow down, nor does it perform standard formation adjustments.

They push their engine power to the limit, rapidly penetrating the defensive net on the outskirts of Canggu Star.

The old Fengqi Frigates attempt to intercept, but their clumsy turning and slow fire can only futilely chase the afterimages left by the White Scars ships.

The missiles and energy beams fired by the defense platforms are also blocked by the Void Shields.

While the White Scars ships are speeding at maximum velocity, the weapon platforms on their broadsides are also firing continuously, picking off those targets that attempt to get close or pose a threat.

In just a few hours, Ta'erku's Cruiser has already reached the orbit of the main planet.

The orbital defense platforms are destroyed under the fierce strikes of the White Scars.

Subsequently, a large number of drop pods slam into key facilities on the planet's surface.

The Fengqi defenders on the ground are barely able to organize any decent resistance.

After landing, the White Scars warriors use their astonishing mobility, riding Assault Bikes and Land Speeders, to strike directly at the Command Center, power stations, communication hubs, and large grain silos.

Resistance is often disintegrated within a short time by the rapid assault and precise firepower.

When Ta'erku stands on the roof of the occupied Fengqi administrative center, watching the white signal flares rising in the distance that signify a successful occupation, less than 4 standard hours have passed since the fleet entered the planet.

"Report to the Khan, the Canggu star system is under control. The list of captured supplies is being compiled."

Ta'erku reports to Jaghatai via the Communication Device.

"Very good, leave the necessary garrison troops behind, and after the main fleet replenishes fuel, continue to the next target! Do not stop!"

"Yes! Khan!"

Diheishi Star.

This is a large industrial world, where some private guard fleets of local nobles and planetary defense forces are distributed; the will to resist is relatively strong, but they also lack unified command and heavy warships.

The White Scars' assault fleet is composed of a large number of Sword-class Frigates and destroyers.

The Fleet Commander, Seventh Company Commander Suhe, looks at the key industrial nodes and known enemy fleet assembly points marked on the star map and issues orders.

"Split up! Team One and Team Two are responsible for clearing out the outer patrol fleets and reconnaissance outposts. Team Three, follow me to strike directly at the core industrial star, destroying their orbital shipyards and heavy factories! Remember, hit and run, never get bogged down in battle! Our goal is to paralyze their production capacity, not to occupy every mining zone!"

"Yes!"

The fleet breaks into smaller units and flies toward different targets.

One sub-fleet encounters a small Fengqi noble fleet currently assembling in the void.

The White Scars ships utilize their superior mobility to continuously perform flanking and encirclement maneuvers.

High-speed torpedoes are fired continuously, while the slow turning and firepower of the Fengqi ships find it difficult to lock onto these white phantoms.

In just a moment, that small fleet retreats in panic and total disarray after two frigates are destroyed.

The detachment led by Suhe personally pierces directly into the orbit of the core industrial star.

Ignoring the sporadic anti-aircraft fire from the ground, they fire a dense volley of torpedoes directly at the shipyards and large factories in orbit.

Massive explosions light up one after another on the orbital facilities.

After completing the strike, they immediately turn and disengage at high speed, giving the ground defense forces no chance to react or retaliate.

Jaghatai sits on the Fengchi, calmly controlling the overall situation.

Continuously receiving reports of victory from various sub-fleets, his fingers move rapidly across the star map, marking one 'liberated' or paralyzed star system after another.

Jaghatai's strategic intent is very clear.

Utilizing the excellent opportunity created by the Blood Angels, he leverages the White Scars' unparalleled mobility advantage to paralyze the war potential of the Sixth Star Sector to the maximum extent at the fastest speed, occupy key worlds, and spread the Emperor's Faith before the Fengqi Star Alliance can react and mobilize reinforcements from elsewhere.

Jaghatai said to the Communications Officer.

"Tell Ta'erku, Suhe, and all the children speeding at high velocity! Increase speed! Increase it further! Do not give the Alien any chance to breathe! Let the entire Sixth Star Sector resound with the battle cries of us White Scars and the roar of our engines!"

"Yes! Khan!"
