Chapter 53 Departure
“Oh, yes, those traitors took away the Saber of Glory. Fortunately, the angels of the Astral Knights Chapter arrived and they eliminated most of the traitors.”
< br>Loken roared loudly on the bridge of the Starfire, and his voice was transmitted by the long-distance communicator to the surface of the planet Ma'kande 2, which has been trying to contact the orbiting station since it received the distress signal.
The ground has not considered sending troops to support, but because communications are blocked, they do not know the situation of the orbital station.
If the orbital station is already controlled by the enemy, the reinforcements are likely to be intercepted halfway.
It wasn't until the signal from Loken was transmitted that they realized that the orbital station had suffered a serious attack.
"Loss situation."
A metallic voice sounded from the other end of the communicator. Loken could tell that that guy was the current master of the furnace, and there was a high probability that he was still the master of the furnace. The man who assassinated his mentor.
Just from the guy's tone, Loken could hear a hint of schadenfreude.
He sniffed and said in a sad tone:
"Archbishop, the losses are heavy! The energy system of the orbital station was severely damaged. The traitors also destroyed a large number of automatic defense forts and took everyone in the orbital station captive!"
"Everyone!?"< br>
At this moment, the voice was not as calm as before, and Loken suddenly felt a sense of revenge.
"Yes! Those damn ones! Traitors who deserve to be cursed ten thousand times! They kidnapped everyone! Even my health care servitor was not spared!"
Not far behind him, Soshyan shook his head looking at the other party's pretentious manner, while Brother Lothar couldn't help but smile.
"Are you sure?"
"I witnessed it with my own eyes!"
"Then why were you not kidnapped?"
"Because the noble Astral Knights Chapter arrived in time Come! They eliminated the traitors before I suffered!"
"I... let me speak to their commander."
"Archbishop, I'm afraid this won't work. The angels are busy chasing the traitors. Oops! The Glory Saber is going to escape into the subspace! The angels are about to join the gang!"
Speaking, Loken put one of his machines on The appendage was inserted into the console and a string of garbled characters was entered. Suddenly the communication channel was filled with static noise.
"What? Hey! Loken! Do you hear me!"
"Archbishop! Please don't worry, I will try my best to bring the Glory Saber back! You wait Ouch!"
After speaking, Loken hung up the communication, turned around and made an OK gesture to Soshyan, who then nodded slightly.
"Start the subspace engine!"
The two battleships, one behind the other, in a manner similar to a pursuit, not far from the orbital station, jumped into the subspace one after another and disappeared into the vastness. In the void.
At the location where they left, the shattered wreckage of the New Pharos was floating quietly in the icy void.
When the vanguard troops on the ground arrived at the orbital station, all they saw was a metal structure as silent as a cemetery. A large number of automatic defense turrets are also gone.
The Mechanicum troops that arrived later carefully inspected the orbital station. In addition to seeing a pile of unidentifiable pieces of flesh in the bloody main control room, there were 9 incomplete Chaos Space Marines, and Completely burned corpse.
They were placed in the chapel of the orbital station, facing the emperor's icon, all fixed in a kneeling posture.
On the ground, there is a line of Gothic text written in blood.
"Traitors will eventually die in disgrace"
After preliminary inspection of the corpses of these half-cooked Chaos Space Marines, it was found that all the gene seeds had been dug away. According to the degree of stiffness of the corpses, Apparently dead for some time.
Then the Mechanicus people checked the warehouse again and found that it was cleaner than the face of the Emperor's statue in the church. Not only were all the materials and equipment that were supposed to be sent to the Astra Militarum gone, but even The twelve Marko heavy armors also disappeared.
What’s even more outrageous is that even the food warehouse and kitchen in the orbital station have been evacuated!
Did those traitors bring a group of beggars to rob?
This problem troubled the priests of the Mechanicus. When they conducted further inspections of the orbital station, they found that the automatic turrets did not seem to be destroyed, but more like dismantled. Including the energy system, power system, and communication system of the orbital station, many parts were not destroyed, but directly missing.
And the technique was quite professional, causing no collateral damage to the surroundings.
Is it possible that the heretical Mechanic Cultists were also involved in this invasion?
In any case, this can be regarded as a huge loss, both in terms of materials and personnel, not to mention that a frigate belonging to the navy was taken away.
This lawsuit will probably go all the way to the Sector Governor. The Archbishop of Ma'kande No. 2 will have to deal with these headaches for a long time.
As for Loken.
That guy would be better off disappearing into the warp forever.
"Starfire, this is the Glory Saber. Everything is normal. Geller's stance has been activated."
As soon as they entered the subspace, Hodges's voice sounded on the bridge.
"This is Spark, I am Soshyan, the target for the jump-out point is Volistad High Orbit 1-23."
"Received."
The Starfire jumped into the subspace immediately after the Glory Saber. The moment it entered, tendrils of energy burned on the opened Geller Stand, and pink and blue lights lit up. Navigation shield.
It was as if she had plunged headlong into the atmosphere of some world.
Immediately afterwards, strange harmonics echoed in the communication network inside the ship, and the messy and distorted sounds emitted by the auspicious device on the ship seemed to be begging for mercy, shouting in pain, begging, and whispering. .
These sounds will be familiar to crew members who have been sailing for a long time. They come from the void and are the most direct manifestation of subspace.
However, Soshyan felt that just when the endless sounds were about to pour into his ears, they faded away and turned into some kind of distant echo.
The ship vibrated, but quickly returned to calm.
Those sounds disappeared too, the enhanced Geller stance blocking them.
After Soshyan handed the bridge to Lothar, he turned and left, heading straight to the armory.
Originally, he planned to return to his hometown - not because of any homesickness, but because he wanted to get a group of recruits suitable for transformation from there. Now the battle group is in urgent need of new blood.
But Brother Seid suddenly woke up and asked Technical Sergeant Rico Rogris to send him a message asking him to change the target to Volistad.
This name Soshiyan has never been heard of, and it is obviously not a very important world.
But Brother Said must have a purpose when he said this. Soshyan followed his idea and changed the intended target. However, that world was located in the Draco star region, close to the famous Armageddon star system, and it would take some time to sail there.
While taking advantage of this time, Soshyan wanted to ask Brother Said the purpose of doing this.
"Chapter Leader?"
As soon as the automatic door opened, Soshyan saw Rogris checking Brother Seid, but it seemed that the Divine Fearless was in good condition. Rodrigos just put some oil on his left arm.
"Well, you go out first, Brother Seid and I have something to talk about."
"Yes."
When Roglis exited, Soshyan said straight to the point:
"Why go to Volistad?"
" A very precious gift there”
“What is it?”
"I have forgotten too many things. I only remember this name. You need to find it in person to find out what it is."
