Chapter 3456 Fort Faros
When the two of them walked side by side, a harsh alarm sounded in the fortress, and many weapons were then activated.
"Sotalan has an alien of unknown origin. They kill people when they see them. Now the number of civilian casualties is rising exponentially! Everyone is in a hurry!"
"Isn't Tyron?"
"It seems that it is not, but space undead."
"Strange"
Thrace was also a little confused now. He was deploying defense work in the Shield Guard Station. Suddenly he received a notice that the planet was attacked and asked him to return to the monastery quickly.
At that time, he was still surprised that he didn't even see the shadow of the Tyron fleet, so why did he suddenly run to the planet?
The result is now said to be a space undead?
When did Sosa have space undead?
Although the space undead is not a new alien in their position, the Emperor's Scythe has also participated in the war against the space undead several times. They have at least seen these metal aliens, but they have never heard of space undead around Sousa. Can't there be a space undead nest under their butt?
Unless
It was from that place.
But the problem is that it had been sealed a long time ago, and there has been no abnormality in nearly ten thousand years.
With strong confusion and uneasiness, Thrace left the fortress and entered the outer fortress area. This was a solid fortification, with many fortresses and rocket launchers standing to protect the gates of the monastery.
Passing through the exterior wall is the gate. This gate is a hundred meters high and is an elegant conical Gothic arch, carved around it into stretched branches and leaves. The door created by high-grade fine gold depicts the joy of the farmer's work - men and women wearing straw hats and using sickles to harvest crops.
Seeing Thrace coming, the armed servants of the war team guarding near the gate saluted one after another, Thrace also nodded and responded - the defense facilities in the entire fortress area are basically responsible for mortals, the number of Space Marines is too small, and they trust their people very much.
At this time, the sun had set in the west and sinking into the mountains of Faros, and only the tallest tower on the top of the mountain was still bathed in golden light.
Thrace walked into the fortifications and threw a long shadow, silent all the way, and was full of worries. The outer guard tower emitted a dull red flash in the darkness, as if she was always alert to the enemies in the shadows. There were many forks and small doors all around, all of which were all ancillary facilities leading to the fortress. Occasionally, you can see the servants with their heads bowed and hurriedly walking by.
The space on the top of the mountain is extremely limited, so the courtyard behind the gate is very small and triangular. The towering and topped city wall overlooks the interior, and there are small holes on the inside.
On the right side of the triangle, there is a second smaller door that passes through the city wall to the top of the mountain. On the opposite wall is a spacious and low garage door leading to the armour of the battle group. A red-armored warrior was saying something to his servants. Thrace wanted to say hello, but was worried about disturbing the other party, and finally walked by in silence.
Walking up through the small door, Thrace climbed a huge staircase directly carved on the surface of the basalt mountain. The steps were covered with tiled vaults, and each inch of stone was carved with beautiful reliefs.
It is spiraling upwards all the way up, with not fixed width. Some sections are so wide that two Space Marines can march side by side, while some are very narrow that must be passed by one person, and the slope is sometimes steep and sometimes slow.
In terms of practical functions, it is neither convenient nor optimal, and it does not seem to be suitable for defense purposes. But this is not because the Emperor's Scythes like this kind of goat path, but that they have to design it so much.
If you look carefully at the main body of the Emperor Watch Castle, you will find that there are some weird black lines in the basalt covered on the mountain, and the higher the upwards, the wider the fault formed by the section formed by these black lines. When you reach the top of the mountain, the basalt can no longer cover these sections, so those extremely deep green stones can be seen on the side of the spiral ladder, which looks like black in the shadow, and only a little of their true colors will be revealed when the sun shines.
This led to the Emperor's Scythes being forced to bypass the places where black rocks invaded the basalt when building their fortresses. On the one hand, the black rocks are difficult to cut, and on the other hand, the founder of the War Chapter once issued an order to avoid the transformation or modification of the black rocks as much as possible, so the road to the uppermost level of the fortress is so bent.
There were servants who once claimed that these black rocks would emit a life-laden glimmer at certain times, but once observed, the mottled green would scatter.
But the battle group strictly prohibits such superstitious rumors, and also strictly prohibits servants from discussing Black Rock, which is the only place where the Emperor's Scythe will not compromise with the mortals.
Soon after they arrived at a small platform, and the steps reached the last section. Thrace looked up at the brick tunnel, which was bent vertically to adapt to the changes in angle when the spiral building became a straight ladder. The steps here were wide and even the feet of fully armed Space Marines could not fully accommodate the feet. The difficulty of climbing forced them to slow down and even use their hands.
He was not tired, but his movements were not flexible in wearing armor. His power backpack and wide breastplate made it difficult for them to maintain balance and were forced to put away their weapons.
Normal meetings will not be held here, because it is difficult to come once, but the current situation is very tense, and they need to get wisdom and courage from their ancestors.
After climbing the stairs, Thrace came to a very magnificent hall. The polished marble reflected like a mirror. There were no mortals here, only the warriors of the Emperor's Scythe. They were ready to go. A straight corridor led to a pair of polished bronze doors with sharp arches open in the lower half. Statue columns were lined with statues. These statues rose hundreds of meters high from the dark chasm on both sides of the hall until they were flush with the ground. However, these statues were not all space warriors, but many mortals.
This is used to commemorate the founders of the Imperial Scythe and the men and women who fought side by side with the Space Marines during the Great Rebellion of the Ancient Rebellion.

Thrace walked through the bronze door and entered the founder's hall, which also had marble finishes and accommodated more statues. These were the Space Marines wearing seiko armor. A round-handled dagger embedded in the center of the floor was decorated with the cross sickle of the battle group. Around them were stone mosaics painted with ten different styles of horseshoe palm marks, symbolizing different companies of the battle group. The two stairs behind the hall, one up and down, were more elegant in arc.
The light through the door was not enough to illuminate the entire hall, which was as dark as a natural cave, and fortunately the light from a temporary camera in the hall made up for this, and around it, eight people stood.
"How could a space undead appear?"
Trace immediately got straight to the point, and the second company commander Argaitas sighed and shook his head.
"You ask me, who can I ask? It's really a ghost in broad daylight, and everyone wants to know how they came about."
Then he reached out and pressed the lower panel. After a rippling wave, many scenes appeared
