Chapter 703 Crazy Fight
There is nothing flashy about the battle with Angron. If it were Fulgrim, he might pursue the perfect and unified combination of sword skills and elegance, but Angron is different. He just wants to wield the battle ax in his hand. , bringing destruction and pain to the surroundings.
Whether it's your own or someone else's.
Coincidentally, Duanmu Huai thought so too.
"Bang!"
The warhammer and the chainsaw ax collided hard, and then Duanmuhuai roared, clenched the warhammer and slammed it against Angron's chest. Angron also yelled, raised the chainaxe, and hit Duanmuhuai's head hard. Cut down. Neither side had any intention of evading. When Duanmuhuai's war hammer hit Angron's chest, Angron's battle ax also hit Duanmuhuai's helmet.
"I x your ancestor!"
Feeling the severe pain caused by the impact on his head, Duanmu Huai suddenly became furious at this moment. He stepped forward again, swung his war hammer and hit Angron's knee. Angron also did not step back. He roared as if In order to vent the anger of being hammered on the chest by Duanmu Huai, the tomahawks of both hands suddenly swung down and slashed at Duanmu Huai's shoulders.
"Boom!!"
Duanmu Huai's war hammer hit Angron's knee without any hesitation, directly smashing the Primarch's knee to pieces, and Angron's chain ax also swung down with a bang, hitting Duan Muhuai downwards. He sank and fell to his knees. However, Duanmu Huai stood up from the ground with a red face, gritted his teeth, and bumped his head directly on Angron's head, causing Angron to stagger back.
"Come! I can't fuck you to death!!"
Duanmuhuai cursed loudly, and at the same time, he grabbed Angron tightly and hit his head hard. Angron not only didn't hide, but also raised his head directly. The two of them hit each other again and again like angry bulls.
"Fuck!!"
As Duanmuhuai cursed, his helmet hit Angron's head again, causing the Primarch's face to be bloody and bloody. At the same time, Angron swung his ax and chopped directly on the head. Duanmuhuai hit Duanmuhuai's chest, and Duanmuhuai endured the pain of shattered armor and carried it with a backhand hammer. The roaring thunder warhammer drew a 180-degree circular arc in the air, hitting the genetic source heavily. On the body!
"Bang————————!"
The violent explosion of this blow directly shook the surrounding ground to sink, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the tremors were violent. Even the World Exterminators who were fighting around them couldn't help but shake their bodies in an attempt to maintain balance. Then he saw thick smoke and dust suddenly explode in the battlefield, and then Angron flew out of it like a cannonball and hit the ground heavily. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, had a gloomy face and strode after him. He was holding a war hammer and his helmet was half damaged. However, Duanmu Huai was not in the mood to repair it at the moment. He just came to Angron and faced him again. One hammer blow!
But Angron still didn't give up! He roared angrily and swung the ax, hitting Duanmu Huai on the leg. Duanmu Huai's body was shaken by the blow, and the thunder hammer in his hand deflected and hit the ground next to Angron's head. Angron also hurriedly reached out and grabbed Duanmuhuai's thunder hammer, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.
Duanmu Huai did not play a boring tug-of-war game with Angron. He simply let go of the thunder hammer, opened his hands like eagle claws, and grabbed Angron's head directly!
Duanmu Huai's fingers were like iron rods, directly piercing Angron's eyes. His fingers inserted into Angron's eye sockets and ear holes, gripping his skull tightly like iron vices. This made Angron even more furious, and his strong body began to struggle. However, the next moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly shouted, then put his knees on Angron's chest, raised his hands forcefully - and just like that, he forcefully pulled out Angron's head. ! !
"Pfft————!!"
Blood spurted out from the broken neck wound like a fountain. Angron's body twitched a few times, and then there was no more movement. At the same time, as if the pause switch had been pressed on the world-killing people around them, they all turned their heads and looked at Duanmu Huai - and the ferocious-looking Angron's head held high in his hand. .
"Blood...! Damn, it's so dangerous."
Duanmu Huai was about to open his mouth when he almost said "Blood sacrifice to the blood god, head to the skull throne" came out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and shut up in a hurry.
Then Duanmuhuai stood up directly and raised his head high.
"The Chaos lackey Angron is dead! Accept the purification, heretic bastards, and your souls will burn forever in the wrath of the Inquisition! Until the moment of complete destruction!"
While shouting, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand hard, and then grabbed Angron's head with all his strength, and it suddenly shattered like a balloon!
"Bang——!!"
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, brains burst and blood splattered.
Just like that, the battle came to an end.
With the death of Angron, the battle on the planet Isstvan III came to an end. The Inquisition gathered the Loyalist Space Marines from all over the place and quickly left. The Horus fleet quickly retreated and regrouped its forces. Both sides knew that this was not the end, but the beginning of a larger battle.
But for Horus, the loss was heavy.
"This is impossible!!"
Horus roared and punched the table, staring fiercely at Abaddon in front of him.
"How could Angron die? Why did he die?! This must be a false alarm!"
"This is the truth, Horus."
The other Primarch standing next to him was also the other person who raised the flag of rebellion against the Emperor. Fulgrim was not as angry as Horus, but he also lowered his head, and a trace of anger appeared on his beautiful face. The look of sadness.
"The World Exterminators saw with their own eyes that their Primarch was killed on the battlefield. It was not a conspiracy or a trick, but an upright battle and then being killed... To be honest, if there were no battlefield records, , I can’t believe it either.”
Fulgrim looked at the screen in front of him with shocked eyes. What was recorded on it was the scene of the battle between Duanmu Huai and Angron. The violence and terror of both sides even frightened Fulgrim. Angron and his descendants, the Legion of Death, have always been famous for their violent and terrifying style. Although not everyone among the Primarch brothers appreciates Angron's fighting style, they also have to admit that Angron does have skills in this aspect. Uniqueness.
However, Angron, who was famous for his violence, was defeated by an even more violent existence...
"That was no ordinary Space Marine."
Fulgrim stared at Duanmuhuai. The dark paint, the skull and the sky eagle, and the pattern of the war hammer were clearly visible.
"I don't think any of our legions have this kind of livery."
"This is true among the eighteen legions."
Mortarion said calmly, and Fulgrim heard the meaning of his words. They all knew that the Emperor had recovered a total of twenty Primarchs and their legions, but two of them had been wiped out, for reasons known only to some of the Primarchs who initially followed the Emperor.
Could this sudden appearance of the fleet and that man be one of the two missing Primarch legions?
"It could also be the twenty-first Primarch."
Horus snorted coldly. He now had many doubts and speculations in his heart. Just as Fulgrim and Mortarion thought, the other party might be one of the two legions that were wiped out at the beginning. Perhaps the reason why they were wiped out was that they disappeared into the darkness and kept secretly spying on the other Primarch brothers. It is also possible that the other party is the heir recovered by the Emperor. After all, if the Emperor does not tell the truth, no one knows whether he has twenty or two hundred heirs.
But it doesn't matter now.
Angron's death was a huge blow to Horus's plan. He never expected that his brother Primarch would die so suddenly on the battlefield, and they didn't even know who their opponent was. The Worldbreakers had lost their Primarch and were now leaderless.
If there is no victory, I am afraid that my rebellion will really end in vain.
Thinking of this, Horus made up his mind.
"Calling all the fleets together and blocking the jump point, we must completely find and annihilate this fleet!"
When Horus was angrily trying to regain his place, Duanmu Huai was sitting on a chair with a comfortable look on his face.
"Huh... cool."
Flying Skull was repairing Duanmuhuai's armor, and he himself seemed very relaxed. However, seeing Duanmuhuai like this, An felt completely incomprehensible.
"Feeling good? Mr. Knight, are you okay?"
"Of course I'm fine. It feels so good to fight the opponent head-on like this and then blow him up!"
"Uh...I don't understand."
"I don't expect you, a girl, to understand this. This is a man's romance."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, An Zi curled her lips. To be honest, she didn't think it was fun for two men to punch each other, and it looked like the beating was very painful... ……
"Master."
Just then, Ogis opened the door and walked in.
"They're coming."
"Let them in."
"Yes."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's order, Ogis nodded and walked into the room. Then, behind her, three space warriors also walked in. The leader is a white-haired Space Marine with a war eagle logo on his right shoulder. He looks quite old and wears a purple-painted mecha. He is the captain of the first company of the Emperor's Children Legion, Thor Tavi. Hereby.
It was precisely because of Sol Tarvitz's warning that the Space Marines on the ground were not completely wiped out immediately. Otherwise, it wouldn't be Angron's turn to run wild on the ground.
Behind Tarvitz were two other Space Marines in different paintings. One of them had short blond hair, gray eyes, and a pale face. He is Gavir Loken, captain of the 10th company from the Luna Wolves—or the Legion of the Sons of Horus.
Next to him was a Space Marine with a metal prosthesis on his right leg and dark green paint, Captain Nathaniel Garrow of the 7th Company from the Death Guard.
In addition to the three space warriors, there are two mortals behind them, one is an old man who looks very old, and the other is a bald woman. They are all wearing robes and looking at the hall with shock and awe. .
Among the three Space Marines, Tarvitz and Garro are both veterans. They are both veterans who fought with the Emperor in the Star Sea before the return of the Primarch, and they have a good relationship with each other. In comparison, Loken was still a newcomer, but it was his acumen that finally saved these loyalists--as the captain of the 10th Company of the Sons of Horus, Gavir Loken once stood on the Warmaster's side. However, because of this, Loken discovered the changes and corruption of the Warmaster, so before the battle of the Istvan III system, he specifically asked Tarvitz to help pay attention to the situation.
It was because of Loken's request that Tarvitz discovered the Warmaster's betrayal in trying to use virus bombs to destroy the Loyalist Space Marines, so he grabbed a fighter plane and rushed directly to the ground, trying to warn the Space Marines who were fighting on the ground. them.
After discovering that Tarvitz had left, Horus immediately ordered people to pursue him. During this process, Tarvitz came to the vicinity of the Eisenstein and contacted the Death Guard who were on the Eisenstein at the time. Garro, commander of the seventh company.
Although they were in different legions, as veterans, Tavitz and Garro had always had a good personal relationship. Therefore, when Garro discovered that Tarvitz was being hunted, he was shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation. Tarvez also trusted Garro and confessed everything without reservation.
Garro was also shocked to learn of the Warmaster's betrayal, but he quickly made a choice, defeated the fighter planes chasing Tarvitz, and covered Tarvitz to reach Istvan III.
It can be said that these three people are the biggest contributors to the fact that the loyalist fighters on the ground were able to avoid the catastrophe of annihilation of the entire army.
"Hello, fellow Space Marines."
Duanmuhuai looked at the people in front of him carefully, nodded, and spoke to them.
"I am Duan Muhuai, the Grand Inquisitor of the Inquisition. Welcome to the Inquisition Fleet."
"Greetings, Grand Inquisitor."
On behalf of his colleagues, Tarvitz saluted Duanmu Huai - regardless of the other party's kindness for saving him and others, the mere fact that the other party beat up and killed the Primarch Angron was enough for Tarvitz to show respect for him. .
After all, not everyone can do that.
"Thank you for your helping hand."
Tarvitz also meant what he said. The abandoned loyalist Space Marines had nowhere to go. Of course, it was impossible for them to return to Horus's battleship. The only one standing on their side right now is the Eisenstein, commanded by Garro, the commander of the seventh company of the Death Guard. At that time, Horus discovered the Eisenstein's rebellion and originally wanted to annihilate it immediately. As a result, the Inquisition fleet suddenly arrived and caught Horus by surprise. Eisenstein took the opportunity to escape and then surrendered directly to the Inquisition.
"You're welcome, how are you doing now?"
Duanmuhuai nodded and asked, while Tavitz and others looked at each other.
"The Death Guard suffered the heaviest losses. Most of them failed to survive the first wave of bombings, and the World-Deaders basically died in the battle with their original body. So far, the Emperor's Children and the Moon Wolves have suffered the least losses. , but only less than one-fifth remains.”
Having said this, Taweiz sighed sadly. However, at this moment, the old man in a robe behind them came out tremblingly and looked at Duanmuhuai with pleading eyes.
"Dear Grand Inquisitor, please allow me to boldly ask for advice. Are you here under the Emperor's will? Did the Emperor... foresee all this and send you here? Save us people who are loyal to the Empire. ?”
"You are..."
"He is Karel Hindman."
Loken took a step forward and introduced him respectfully.
"He is the chief preacher of the Sixty-third Expedition."
"In my opinion, this level of fanaticism is almost the same as that of pagans."
Duanmuhuai complained lightly, and then spoke.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. The Inquisition has something to do with the Empire and has nothing to do with the Emperor. In fact, our Inquisition has only one goal, which is to save and protect humanity from the threats of aliens, heretics and demons. ”
"Aliens... heretics and demons..."
Hearing this, the three space warriors frowned, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.
"Okay, everyone, we have limited time, so let's open the skylight and speak frankly. I think you have discovered and understood this - the truth of the empire is a lie, magic, witchcraft, demons in subspace, and creatures from other worlds. , no matter what you call them, they are real, so everything promoted by Empire Truth is all lies, and there is no truth.”
"………………"
Although they had known this for a long time, everyone still had expressions of disbelief on their faces when they heard Duanmu Huai say this. After all, they are all loyal to the Emperor, so they naturally regard the truth of the Empire as sacred scripture. Although everything they had encountered before had already shown that there seemed to be a problem, Duanmu Huai's direct tearing of this fig leaf still shocked them.
"I know what you want to say. The Emperor has indeed deceived you. As for why he concealed the secrets of subspace from you and made up this unreliable set of imperial truths, you can answer Tyra will ask him directly afterwards. I am very curious about what excuses he will make up to fool you."
"Please be careful what you say."
At this moment, Loken finally couldn't help but speak.
"We are all warriors loyal to the Emperor. We are the Emperor's sharp blades. We must not have such delusional thoughts. Although you have saved us, this does not mean that you can speak evil words to the Emperor!"
"Okay, sorry about that."
Duanmu Huai nodded. If Horus dared to say that to him here, he would blow Horus's head off on the spot, but these loyal soldiers still deserve respect. Although Duanmu Huai felt that the emperor was not a human being, he did not need to provoke these loyalists.
"In short, I hope you understand that the goal of the Inquisition is humanity, not the Empire or the Emperor, so if Horus simply rebels against the Emperor and wants to replace him, then we, the Inquisition, don't care, we don't care. After all, Murdering one's father and brother to seize the throne has happened many times in history, and it won't happen again. "
Duanmu Huai snorted, and the Space Marine's expression was obviously a bit complicated.
"Then why do you want to help again?"
At this moment, the bald and dark-skinned woman put down her hood and looked at Duanmuhuai.
"Isn't it the emperor's will that makes you appear here?"
"Hahaha, religious believers have always been far-fetched, and it seems that the emperor is no exception."
Duanmuhuai didn't even bother to argue with the other party, he just laughed.
"I said, if Horus was simply rebellious, then the Inquisition wouldn't care. But he has colluded with the evil god of subspace and has exceeded the bottom line of mankind, so the Inquisition has to take care of it."
"Subspace——Evil God? So, those evil devils really exist?"
Jia Luo frowned and looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.
"If you want to make up lessons, I can find another time. What are you going to do next?"
"………………"
After hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, everyone looked at each other.
"We originally wanted to contact Terra to inform us of the Emperor's Warmaster's rebellion, but the Warp seems to have been lost, and not even the light of the Star Torch can be seen..."
"The Inquisition can escort you to Terra."
Duanmuhuai didn't care.
"But the premise is that we must first pass the blockade of the Horus fleet. They will definitely not give up just like that."
