Chapter 57 Rescued
Chapter 57 Rescued
The assault module of the Khorne force broke in through the large hole that had been blasted open before. The Khorne believers, led by the World Eaters, had already entered a deeper position in the battleship. The Astra Militarum soldiers of the anti-jump gang were killed by the World Eaters. Ruthlessly torn apart, of course, the powerful internal turrets and determined warriors still caused heavy casualties to the followers of Khorne.
Just in case, Yifeng led the soldiers of the 13th company to go to support.
"Everyone, hold the battle line," Captain Siloft's voice spread throughout the battleship through the microphone, "The support of the Astartes is coming, hold the enemy back!"
The morale of the Astra Militarum soldiers has been greatly improved. Since the battle with the Chaos warships, several Imperial warships have been destroyed by the enemy's gang-hopping troops. Although the enemy's Chaos warriors are few, under their leadership, other Demons and mortal believers can quickly tear apart their defense lines, and every line of defense almost uses human lives to delay time.
Now, our own Astartes are here and fighting in our real space. This is an advantageous match that we haven't had in a long, long time.
Similarly, Yifeng no longer has so many worries.
The Red Torrent Chapter's current battle barges and their own warships are not as fragile as before. Not counting the Black Shield Warriors and hidden people, there are 87 Astartes and enough Astartes in service on the warships at this time. 81 new recruits.
Even if the opponent jumps gangs, the battle barge can still be defended.
The transport ship set off carrying Yifeng and the soldiers of the Thirteenth Company. They did not need to use the assault cabin because the aircraft landing platform of the Victory-class battleship was still under their control, if it could be considered a hangar.
Thirteen warriors arrived at the Victory-class battleship and marched directly to the reactor site, where Khorne's assault force was charging at all costs to cause the ship's reactor to explode and thereby commit suicide.
But the tenacious anti-jump gang forces dragged him to the rest area of the lower-level personnel.
Laser guns and plasma guns fired continuously, and Khorne warriors responded with grenades and fearless charges. The battle was once very fierce, with "view obstructions" and metal objects built up by tables and chairs in the rest area. The remaining bunkers were destroyed.
The World Eaters kept charging and slashing, but even they had to blast away the mess blocking the entrances of each passage before they could continue to advance.
The garrisoned Astra Militarum had blocked everything they had, they had been fighting and being hunted for a long, long time, and now that victory was in sight, they had to hold it at all costs.
The Khorne warriors once again blasted away the obstacles in front of them, followed by laser guns that were still firing continuously.
The leader of the Khorne berserkers, ancient warriors wearing patchwork Mark III power armor, took the lead. The characteristic of this kind of power armor is that the front armor is hard and the back defense is weak. It can almost be used as a low-end version of the Terminator armor.
The toughest armor withstood a large number of laser gun attacks, but there was an ion pistol bullet hidden in these dazzling barrages.
The violent attack did not kill the World Eater, but it also blew him back.
Yifeng was wearing an oversized cavalry-type Terminator armor, and behind him were two black shield warriors from the Thirteenth Company. The bolter loaded with a mixture of Kraken armor-piercing bullets and revenge-type bolt bombs killed this man in a few seconds. The World Eaters were completely in a hive.
"Sacrifice your blood to the Blood God, sacrifice your head to the Skull Throne!" The berserker warriors of the Brass Throne are not mindless rushers. On the contrary, their military formations are strict and they are an extremely good army. However, they think that the more complex the plan, the more complicated the plan. The easier it is to have accidents, so their war usually adopts the simplest and most effective method. Based on their advantages, the answer is immediately obvious - stick up and hack them to death.
The Khorne warriors took out the rarely used smoke grenades and blinding grenades, although as long as the opposite tactical eyepiece loses their vision for a moment, they will use any hard bunker in front as a shield to rush into the enemy's face. Cut upwards.
Blinding bombs were thrown first, followed by smoke bombs. Khorne's warriors were about to raise simple metal shields and start charging. The wall behind the flanks was suddenly shattered.
Captain Anos led five soldiers to attack the enemy from the rear. The World Eater standing at the end was caught off guard and beaten to pieces.
The surrounding followers of Khorne quickly surrounded them, and many followers armed with anti-tank bombs and melta bombs launched a suicide charge under the cover of their teammates.
When the remaining three World Eaters were about to turn back, several melta bombs were thrown from Yifeng's hand. Smashing it on the enemy's simple shield, burning the metal shield and the enemy's entire arm.
The four black shield warriors who circled back to the side also opened fire quickly to relieve the pressure on Captain Arnos.
There was still a World Eater who got close to the Black Shield Warrior when his teammates were almost dead, but Captain Anos, who had been fighting for thousands of years, put on the new cavalry type Terminator armor given to him by Yifeng. His original armor The armor was passed down to his brothers like a sacred object.
Even the World Eaters would have a hard time actually hurting the Terminator version of Captain Arnos.
As expected, the thirteen warriors wiped out the enemy in just a few strokes, and even the mortal followers of Khorne were chopped into pieces.
In a sense, these thirteen Astartes are more like Khorne Berserkers.
Adjutant Vinash wanted to invite these great saviors to come to the command room to talk, but Yifeng quickly withdrew the transport plane and ran away with the Thirteenth Company on the grounds that the enemy was not completely destroyed yet and I still had to command the battle.
Ordinary Astra Militarum cheered and cheered, but it didn't have much impact. Meeting with the navy at the battleship captain level still requires caution.
It would be bad if there were psychics on the side who noticed something was not right.
At this time, the Nurgle warship, which was in a dying state, wanted to drag the enemy into the water, but there were no warships approaching at all, so it could only be completely destroyed in helplessness.
Yifeng returned to the Solemn Alert. Slaanesh's battleships lost their combat capabilities, but there were still many enemies holding on to the ships that had lost power and counterattack capabilities.
They have nowhere to go and can only hold on to the last position.
Yifeng: How do you fight, brothers?
Everyone: You are the Chapter Leader, you decide.
Yifeng: Let the new recruits practice their skills?
Recruits: Yeah!
Struval: What if a Chaos warrior ambush us? Not safe.
Yifeng: Let the second company go?
Second Company: Always on standby!
Situ Val: What if the opponent lets the battleship explode?
Yifeng: Let the 13th Company go?
Company 13: Slay the enemies of the Emperor.
Stuart Val: Then the consequences of the enemy ship being destroyed are still the same?
Yifeng: How to fight?
Everyone: You decide.
Hey, hey, why don't we let the Mechanicus come?
Everyone: unanimously agreed.
Nian Cijin stood up first and said that Mavlek's Mechanicus should be very professional in dealing with this matter. After all, the relationship with them is relatively strong now, and Yifeng also had this intention.
But the appearance still needs to be done, and you, the Great Pharmacist, can't be too protective of these new recruits. They still need to grow up.
The Mortal Auxiliary Army attacked and occupied the enemy's reactor and void shield at all costs. Then William led 41 "veterans" and the fourth batch of people who were about to graduate to join the enemy's warship and began to clean it. The Black Shield Warriors I was bored and jumped over from the other side.
There were very few casualties in Yifeng's recruit training, which was not a good thing for these recruits, but they could not find an opponent that was not strong enough to make them feel difficult.
Let’s treat it as a graduation assessment this time.
The fifth batch of recruits were eager to try, but were held down by Situ Val and sent directly to the regiment training ground to practice shooting.
The next step is for Yifeng to officially chat with the captain. The situation is a bit complicated now. We must find a way to make him accept our point of view. The people on the battleship also need to know the true history. This is the most important thing. The difficult thing is that these heroic naval soldiers have proven their loyalty by fighting for the Empire so far, so it is very difficult to get them to change their minds.
Yifeng thinks that the best way is to let the warriors take a look at the world he has transformed. This may help them change their minds, but the best Atris is still in the stage of repairing the hive buildings. Taste Forget about the environment, other worlds have just been recovered and cannot be used as good material.
Only Scaria, who regards Yifeng as a superhero, can give it a try. The events of Night Lords and Khorne have indeed greatly enhanced Yifeng's influence, and the opposing nobles have also been suppressed by the Astartes. Various The exam is going on in an orderly manner.
I hope that these two years can give people a kind of thriving vitality, at least on the surface it seems like this.
The two sides finally met, and Yifeng's battle barge approached the battleship and escorted the other party to Scaria's orbit in a "close escort" manner.
The two sides met on Skaria at Yifeng's suggestion.
Otis sat in the governor's seat bitterly. Although he really wanted to resign, Yifeng personally sent a greeting to Otis, "I think your governor has done a very good job. You will You’re going to keep doing it, right? Um~um~~um~~~”
Okay, whatever you say is what it is. Anyway, I must have excellent results in the ability test.
The huge conference hall was filled with big bosses from both sides and Scaria's managers.
Captain Siloft of the Victory-class battleship expressed his sincere gratitude to Yifeng and his battle group for their heroic performance. The two sides also chatted about their respective origins. Regarding the identity of Yifeng, the battle group was formed by the merger of three battle groups. Siloft greatly appreciated Yifeng's loyalty.
I can only say that you praised too early.
The origin of this Victory-class battleship is more complicated.
At first, when the warp storm came, he was on the edge of the Obscurus and the Ultramarines, and their fleet was ordered to support the war against a group of greenskins.
During the war, several battleships were damaged and went for repairs. The Ancient Mystery was not damaged, so the transport ship replenished them with some shells and then rushed non-stop to the large rift caused by the Eye of Terror to fight against Chaos.
The battle with Chaos was extremely brutal. The two sides engaged in a large-scale naval battle involving more than a hundred warships, and the Empire was victorious. At this time, the Ancient Hidden Sea had only one ship left in its combat formation.
After going to the Adeptus Mechanicus for emergency repairs, and without even performing a rotation of the Astra Militarum, they were on the road again to support the operations of an Astartes Chapter.
A world that had just been occupied by Chaos was immediately taken back by the Astartes. Due to repeated battles, it was no longer possible to supply warships there.
Later, this Victory-class battleship was incorporated into the current Calixis Second Naval Fleet and arrived at Calixis on the edge of the Peace Star Territory.
After that, the Ancient Mystery began to fight continuously in this area, and in a recent large-scale naval battle involving hundreds of battleships, the Empire was defeated, not by the battleships and the command of the Astra Militarum, but by the enemy's Chaos More Astartes and Chaos Daemons.
Subspace and the real world almost overlap on that battlefield. Subspace demons will suddenly appear everywhere. Some battleships have no choice but to open the Geller position in real space, but the effect is still not good.
The Ancient Mystery barely broke away from the battle on the periphery of the battlefield and entered the subspace, but the enemy warships pursued it closely, which led to the current scene.
"What a blessing from the Emperor." Siloft couldn't help but sigh. Their troops have not rested since the beginning of the battle. They have been fighting continuously for more than seventy years. Many Astra Militarum have exceeded the age of service and have reached the age of service. Retirement age.
"Not entirely, Captain Silft. Your tenacious fighting will and loyalty to the Emperor are the key to your being able to fight for so long."
"No, no, no, we cannot compare with the desperate fighting of your Chapter and the three original Chapters. You are the loyal warriors that the Emperor is most proud of."
The two sides began to exchange strategies, until Captain Siloft asked the embarrassing question.
Why is the local state religion not represented?
"Dear Captain Siloft, we have all killed the local state religion."
"Oh, no wonder they didn't attend this...what! Captain Yifeng, please don't joke."
"Of course I'm not joking, dear captain." Siloft looked at Yifeng in front of him, completely confused about the situation. Is this a rebellion? Still no rebellion?
"I believe you have many doubts. I can tell you an ancient story, a true secret."
"All ears, Captain Yifeng, I will judge whether this is true."
"Or is the current state religion a conspiracy of Chaos? Dear Mr. Captain, let's listen to the story." The captain did not draw his gun at the moment. He was already grateful to Yifeng for saving his life. .
"In that distant era, the Emperor launched an epic Great Crusade, constantly searching for the lost Primarchs along the way, including the Primarch of the Word Bearers, who was the member of the Seventeenth Legion at that time. Lorca.
The Primarch grew up on a religious planet and naturally became a religious believer, but his adoptive father, Kor Phaeron, was a hidden believer in Chaos. One day, he suddenly dreamed of a god in golden armor and a Cyclops riding on steel from the clouds. When he woke up, he immediately announced that the savior was coming.
Of course the local religious world treated him as a heretic, but his adoptive father Kor Phaeron fully supported him. After nearly six years of civil war, Lorgar successfully unified his world. At the end of the war, the Emperor and Horse Gnus arrives in this world.
The local people worshiped them like real gods and held a grand festival for a month.
The strange thing is that although the emperor hated others treating him as a god, he still tolerated it for a month before taking Lorgar away, and for the next hundred years he never told Lorgar that he hated others treating him as a god. Be a god.
Lorgar became the Lord Commander of the Legion of the Word Bearers and adopted his father Kor Phaeron, a hidden disciple of Chaos who was also transformed into an Astartes despite his age, with the secret help of Chaos.
The Primarch hated war, however, and often built huge cathedrals on the worlds he conquered, converting entire populations into followers of the Emperor. Then convince other planets by preaching or debating with others.
Lorgar madly believed in the Emperor as a god, and built continuous churches in all the worlds he conquered. He even recorded the Emperor's every word and deed and compiled it into the "Book of Sacred Words" to prove the Emperor's divinity.
This also resulted in Lorgar's Word Bearers being the slowest in progress during the Great Crusade.
It greatly affects the Emperor's unification of mankind across the galaxy.
The Emperor had been silent for a hundred years, and could no longer bear it. He made it clear that he hated others treating him as a god. After warning Lorgar several times to no avail, he ordered Guilliman to lead the Ultramarines Legion and bring Lorgar to the throne. The best built religion in the world destroyed the perfect city.
When Lorgar and the Hundred Thousand Word Bearers hurried back there, only a pile of ruins was left. The Emperor ordered them to kneel before the Emperor and Guilliman, and enforced it with their psychic powers.
Lorgar was autistic, and their Legion's Great Crusade was advancing at a faster pace. The Emperor was very satisfied with his son's "awakening". Only the Chancellor of the Malcador Empire, the second most powerful psyker in the world, expressed his opinion. Worry about Luojia.
At this time, his adoptive father Kor Phaeron, then the captain of the 1st Company, began to seduce Lorgar.
Is it possible that there are other true gods in the world, other true gods that are not in this world?
He then told Lorgar about their ancient beliefs.
When Luojia, a complete religious man, heard this, he thought, Dad, are you telling the truth? I'm going to see it for myself.
So, Lorgar plunged into the Eye of Fear, and when he came out, he was already a man of chaos.
Later, everyone knew that Lorgar got a sword with Nurgle virus, set up a trick to stab Warmaster Horus, and deceived the Luna Wolves that there was a cure in a certain temple. Horus, Horus entered the temple and was forcibly transformed into a man of chaos.
The Horus Heresy has officially begun. "
These things are only spread within the innermost circles of the Astartes, and only a few chapters that have existed since the expedition are known.
The Human Empire covered up this history with a series of lies, or rather, they covered it up for ten thousand years.
"Then Captain Yifeng, can you tell me the source of this information?" Captain Siloft is no longer the kind of kid who is about a hundred years old and yells and kills when he hears different opinions. He has his own thinking.
"Captain Silft, I am a descendant of the White Scars. Our Primarch is still alive. We are a legion that has existed since the Great Crusade. It is now called a Chapter. Our history has never been lost."
Where does Yifeng get the confidence? The confidence naturally lies in the white scars of her natal family.
"So, Commander Yifeng, is this the reason why you expelled the state religion?"
"You should clearly realize that we are the Emperor's angels, or blades. We don't care what the Human Empire wants to do, we only care about what the Emperor wants to do."
"Even if you are telling the truth ten thousand years ago, what does it mean to the present? The human empire has been going like this for ten thousand years, and what you are doing now is just to make the empire consume more power to put down the rebellion. .”
"As you said, Captain Siloft, ten thousand years later, the human empire's territory, population, resources, and other aspects that you can think of that can be used to measure the overall national strength, compared with ten thousand years ago."
"But this is the best that human beings can do." Even Captain Throft felt guilty after saying this. Compared to human beings, they really stumbled along.
"Captain Siloft, I am a member of the 'Forgotten Chapter' who is wandering outside. You navy leaders may be more aware that the relationship between Guilliman and the human leaders is not harmonious."
Not only were they not harmonious, they were almost fighting.
"But the Regent (Guilliman) still maintains peace with humanity."
"Human beings can do the best, but that doesn't mean that the Primarch can't do better. Guilliman is a Primarch who is good at balancing, but I prefer the Lion King's way. I have no interest in discussing it with you. Those who persist will die. .”
Even Captain Silft has to admit that now is indeed the best time to "rebel".
"But the Assassin's Court, the Ministry of Justice, the Inquisition..."
"I would like to solemnly introduce to you, the Imperial General who has come from afar, this is the Provisional Second Council of the Taiping Star Territory, which governs a total of 5 loyal worlds. In the past two years, I also pacified 5 rebel worlds, and now there are only ten worlds here. Let’s add three forge worlds.”
Captain Siloft looked at the chapter leader in front of him. He still had doubts about the history that Yifeng said, but he must not show it. He must find an opportunity to leave this star field before making another decision.
Regardless of whether he is a traitor or not, this person has perfect control over the timing of rebellion, and he must look like a hero in troubled times.
Is the empire well managed? Is the state religion effective? If that were the case, there wouldn't be so many rebellious planets in the Taiping Star Territory.
"I'm sorry, Captain Siloft, I forgot to tell you that the "Book of Sacred Scriptures" currently used by you, including the National Church, is the one written by Lorgar. The most disgusting thing the Emperor did was done by a rebel Primarch. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha".
Captain Silft realized the seriousness of the matter.
If, if what Yifeng said was true, Siloft would inevitably have some blasphemous thoughts, but he just couldn't stop his thoughts.
If this were true, wouldn't it mean that the Imperium of Man had betrayed the Emperor for ten thousand years.
"Scroft, if Guilliman doesn't wake up, I will honestly help the Human Empire continue to fight until the end of my life, but, but! Guilliman wakes up, believe it or not, if I unify the entire The dark side of the Empire, Guilliman will even join my expedition to fight against the Empire and Chaos."
This is of course Yifeng's deception. For a person like Guilliman who is constantly weighing things, it is difficult to expect him to join the Great Crusade just to restore the human mind of the past. Unless... it is unthinkable and unthinkable. think.
