Chapter 249 Champion of Slaanesh? Very good, mine
The situation of the Cantor Palace defense is getting more and more critical.
Saul Tarvitz understands this very well. The main forces still defending here are only a part of the soldiers of the Third Army and a part of the Sixteenth Army.
The Twelfth Legion was the furthest away from the bunker in the previous virus bomb disaster. Their number of survivors was not as high as that of the other three legions. As for the loyalists of the Fourteenth Legion, many of them died under the influence of Momo. The hands of the Death Guard dropped by Tallian later, and now, almost all the remaining people should be here.
The Third Legion is now led by Captains Sol Tavitz and Solomon Demeter. The ancient sage Rilanor and the swordsman champion Lucius are their important supports, and the Tenth Legion The remnants of the Sixth Legion were led by Garviel Loken and Taric Torgadun. The loyal legionnaires were well-defended in the wide positions and underground passages in front of the Cantor's Palace, and utilized the original city limits under the city walls. Carry out efficient operations, but the situation can only get worse, because they have no support, no follow-up, and every less loyalist fighter is an irreparable loss for them.
With the warning of Tarvitz and the help of Captain Gallo, these loyal warriors found bunkers at the last minute and survived, and pierced the sky where they came with angry questions and condemnations, even though it was no longer there forever Will reply to them again.
According to Sol Tarvitz's estimation, the betrayal Warmaster's attack rhythm has been disrupted by those stubborn and unwilling to die, because he saw more new legion troops and vehicles are constantly being dropped.
"This place is very strong." The commander of the Emperor's Children tucked a strand of long hair behind his ears and raised his head to look at Loken and Torgadon opposite, "But if they use heavy artillery and Titans , I don’t think it can sustain a few rounds of volleys.”
“Perhaps we can let those bastards consume some more ammunition before our father wants to burn us from the sky. People stood high in the sky and slaughtered us without blood. We dragged them down. This was guerrilla warfare, tunnel warfare, and fortress warfare." Tarik Torgadun grinned, his face. It was blackened by the smoke, and the sweat left marks on the black ashes. "If anyone wants to kill us, they have to come down and fight us."
Loken looked at the rough defense terrain map and pondered, "Who is here this time? Who acted as... …Our father’s vanguard?”
"The Emperor's Son." Tarvitz replied calmly, almost making people think that he was not emotionally shaken by the words that came out of his mouth. Only the blazing fire in his eyes could make people feel... Get a glimpse of the intensity in his heart.
"If my experience is still valid, the commander of my former brothers should still be Lord Commander Eidolon."
He said expressionlessly, " From what I know about him, I think he will definitely want to use the precision strike double blade form that the Third Legion is best at to launch an attack."
"Strike double blade?"
"The Open Blade, and the Hidden Blade." The Emperor's Children officer replied, even though Captain Solomon Demeter and the Ancient Sage Rilano both present had higher status in the old Legion. He, but in the past few months of fighting, especially since the beginning of the guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare since they gathered at the Cantor's Palace, Sol Tavitz's reputation has grown day by day, his leadership, commanding skills and keen tactical intuition. Helping the loyalists achieve great results, he actually became the main commander here.
"The Open Blade is the first attack, a feint, while the Hidden Blade is the attack that actually completes the mission."
The Moon Wolves also understand very well that when they are all just leaderless remnants, When a commander's talent reaches this level, a unified command voice is much more practical than ordinary coordination discussions.
"Precision strike operations." Loken nodded, "But it seems that they have just completed the assembly. This time is definitely not enough to complete reconnaissance and necessary arrangements under the severe interference here. "
"Because that is Lord Commander Eidolon." Tavitz frowned tightly, "I will not deny that many of my once noble brothers have been fighting since the battle of Lar'an System. Then it becomes less modest - this will make the timing of the Hidden Blade's attack less appropriate - it needs to be stabbed at the most perfect time in order to play its due role."
“Then this will be our opportunity.”
Loken looked around at the only survivors.
Further away, the rumbling sound of the Titan Legion shook the earth and reached everyone's ears. They all knew that no matter how strong the palace curtain wall was, it would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the main cannon of the God Machine. Might last longer.
"We will spread out the defense, with only thirty or fifty warriors assigned to each side. Let us try to kill as many traitors as possible before the final battle is over. For courage, loyalty and glory!"< br>
“Loyalty lasts forever!”
Everyone has received orders and no longer has to conserve ammunition and any energy.
Just inflict maximum damage.
The enemy's, or your own. Lucius, wearing a helmet, led thirty scarred legionnaires on the road to the defensive position on the east side of the Cantor's palace.
What a hell.
I just don’t want to lose to him!
how so!
He thought to himself, this should not be my burial place! God knows, I obviously... I just want honor! I just want to be praised! I want to surpass him! Sol Tarvitz, why should he... I obviously helped notify so many people so that they could hide in the bunker instead of being turned into mud! Obviously my swordsmanship is so strong and my results are so impressive, why do they all listen to that Tavitz? Why call him a hero? I bet! His swordsmanship must be inferior to mine!
No, I have to think of a way.
The ceramite boots of the Space Marines hammered against the shattered marble floor as they passed through a long gallery of collapsed arches, the defensive positions in front of them.
No, I should get more... I should get more victories, honors and cheers, instead of dying with them in this damn place, and finally dying here without being known!
He thought as his wireless communication channel began to intermittently pick up familiar communication bands nearby.
Lucius suddenly realized that his brothers from the old legion had landed here and were near the palace, and the final general attack was indeed about to begin.
Jealousy towards Sol Tarvitz caused the resentment in his heart to grow like poison ivy, and his fingers had already touched the hilt of his sword.
He glanced at the other people who were starting to set up defenses. Almost all of them had their backs to him, without any defense.
After all, who would guard against someone who has been fighting with him through thick and thin for months in this environment?
My sword is fast...
Very fast...
Maybe...
The air crackled as the Thirteenth Captain of the Emperor's Children relied on his dexterity Unable to avoid the huge body that emerged out of thin air, he sent his beautiful head into the opponent's hands.
"Look who we found. ...I'm sorry, but there is no time. Forgive me for what I have done, Emperor's Children."
Someone said above his head, a strong, gentle but completely irresistible will washed through every sulcus and cortical cell of his brain, like a basin of ice-water mixture pouring from his heavenly cap. In his past life, Every emotional fluctuation and memory are laid out naked in front of a certain great will for you to read.
He reexamined his life in one tenth of the blink of an eye.
His eyes suddenly widened.
"You...no...you..."
The voice of that great existence read his name.
"So you are Lucius...In this way, Captain Lucius, take me to see your commander, quickly."
He immediately knew that he could not and would not refuse.
Behind a certain gorgeous curtain in the distance, something let out an angry and ferocious scream, and countless Eldar trembled at that moment.
