Chapter 57 Angels always fall from the sky
“Bah bang bang!!!”
José suddenly jumped out of bed while sleeping. He heard a voice he was very familiar with. The sound, that was the sound of an automatic gun.
José quickly took out a laser pistol from under the bed, which he retained when he served in the Astra Militarum.
This laser pistol saved his life more than once, and Jose always considered this laser pistol to be his lucky charm.
Jose quietly came to the door. He slowly opened the door a small crack and observed the scene on the street outside.
On the street, a group of cultists with strange patterns made of blood on their bodies were engaged in a fierce gun battle with soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force. Automatic gun bullets were flying in the street.
The bullets from the automatic guns hit the surrounding buildings, and some bullets even penetrated some weak buildings, wounding and killing civilians hiding inside.
Now the streets outside were filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, and the miserable howls of the surrounding civilians were drowned in the sound of automatic gunfire.
Under the siege of a large number of cultists, the soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force began to be unable to support themselves. One by one, soldiers were shot dead by the cultists' automatic guns.
On the street in front of Jose's room, a cultist was pointing an automatic gun at a wounded young soldier. He aimed the gun at the soldier's head and was about to shoot.
The cultists around him looked at this behavior of their companions and excitedly fired at the remaining Planetary Defense Force soldiers with their automatic guns.
José looked at what was happening outside and raised the laser pistol in his hand.
José zeroed in on the cultist who was about to kill the young soldier and pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
The laser pistol to the laser pointer shot into the cultist's brain, instantly vaporizing his brain tissue.
The sudden appearance of the laser alerted the cultists who were fighting the soldiers to Jose's room.
The hail of bullets from the automatic gun instantly poured into Jose's room, but Jose quickly rushed out of the room after firing the shot.
The automatic guns of the cultists missed a target. Now Jose was lurking in the wreckage of some broken buildings around him. He stared at the cultists on the street and set his crosshair on a cultist. On the head of the believer.
Another laser beam accurately killed a cultist.
José quickly changed his position. In his previous position, the hail of bullets from the automatic gun sent rubble flying everywhere.
In this way, Jose lurked in the dark and used a laser pistol to take away the lives of the cultists one by one.
"The God-Emperor bless you." Jose whispered, and the laser shot out, taking away the life of another cultist.
The appearance of Jose made the cultists extremely angry. They were angry at an enemy lurking in the dark who dared not confront them head-on.
The cultists angrily fired automatic guns around the street, trying to force Jose out from hiding in the dark.
José is now hiding under a toppled statue of the Emperor, a hail of automatic gun bullets passing over his head.
Jose looked into the eyes of the emperor's statue and silently recited the emperor's prayer in his heart, hoping that the emperor would bless him.
Jose recited the Emperor's Prayer and suddenly recalled the time when he retired.
José’s leader at the time hoped that José could stay and settle with the remaining brothers on the planet they had conquered.
If Jose stays, Jose will become an imperial noble on this planet. He can have his own fief and imperial noble title, and enjoy all the glory and wealth for the rest of his life. But Jose refused. He wanted to return to his home planet, the place closest to the God Emperor, Holy Terra.
"Jose, what's the point of returning to Terra? You might as well be my planetary general in Mors and enjoy the glory and wealth with the remaining brothers."
This was Jose at that time What the regiment leader said to Jose was that the position of planetary general that was the only one left by Jose must be his.
"I want to return to Terra. Even if I don't have the glory and wealth, I still hope to return to Terra." Jose rejected the group leader.
"Why? Didn't your kid tell me every day that it would be great if he could become a planetary general?" Captain Jose asked Jose in confusion.
“Because, I want to get closer to that light.” This was Jose’s answer to the group leader at the time.
After he retired, he returned to Terra and, through Richard's introduction, found a job as an assembly factory worker in his home hive.
It’s not that Jose doesn’t like glory and wealth, he just wants to get closer to the sacred light in his heart.
The perspective returns to the present.
"The God and Emperor bless you." Jose looked at the statue of the emperor and whispered to himself again.
The ammunition for the laser pistol was almost gone. Jose pulled out the Astra Militarum standard monomolecular bayonet from his waist and walked out of the bunker with the Emperor's prayer in his heart. Jose was ready to fight these evil spirits. The believers fought hard.
Just now, Jose saw four members of Richard's family among the corpses on the street. They were killed by cultists.
Their blood was smeared on the walls of the building by the cultists, drawing a bright red eight-pointed star pattern.
José will now stand in front of the cultists, pointing the bayonet in his hand at the cultists in front of him, which is evident in his provocation to the cultists. .
The cultists were completely angered by Jose's move. They put down their automatic guns and took out them. Various strange melee weapons slowly surrounded Jose.
"Let me be loyal to you again." Jose looked at the cultists surrounding him and said to the emperor in his heart.
Jose rushed towards the cultist closest to him with a single stride. Jose used the monomolecule bayonet in his hand to cut off his head very easily.
Seeing that their companions were killed, the cultists surrounded Jose even more quickly.
José looked at these cultists. He clenched the bayonet in his hand, looking forward to the moment when his soul returned to the Golden Throne.
At this moment, a huge sound came from the sky. Jose and the surrounding cultists looked up to the sky and saw a huge transport plane on the dome of the Zhongchao. suspended above it.
Suddenly, several small dots fell out of the transport plane, approaching from far away. As the distance from the ground became smaller and smaller, the small dots became larger and larger, and gradually became smaller and smaller. Became a human form.
"Bang!"
As a humanoid object landed, a trail of warm blood splashed onto Jose's face.
José, who originally thought that his soul would return to the Golden Throne today, looked at the fallen giant in front of him in shock.
"The Angel of Death...the Emperor's Angel of Death!" Jose looked at the giant, and the excitement in his heart was easy to express.
With a body size of three meters, his whole body is wrapped in power armor, and he holds a powerful bolter, this is the Emperor's Angel of Death, a powerful Space Marine.
