Chapter 58 The Demon Ship (4)
“This is...”
So Shiyang felt something in his heart. He turned around and found that at the end of the fork on the right, there was a closed door. The airlock door is covered with claw marks and scratches, as well as many indescribable words and images.
Intuition told Soshyan that the life signal was probably coming from behind the door.
What's even worse is that there are waves of monsters in front and behind them, and only the direction of that door is safe.
"Go this way!"
With no more options, Soshyan could only lead the team straight to the airlock door.
When he arrived, he discovered that the door was actually locked from the outside. Seeing the chaotic creations coming from behind, Soshyan immediately ordered his soldiers to twist the heavy wheel.
With the painful squeaking and harsh friction of metal, the thick metal door that had been covered in dust for countless years slowly opened a gap. Soshiyang glanced inside, but there was only a thick The darkness was so thick that even night vision devices couldn't penetrate it.
“Go in first!”
After waving his hands for the soldiers to get in one by one, Soshyan chopped the three monsters that rushed forward with his sword, then got in sideways and pushed the door shut.
Oddly enough, those creatures became silent after the door was closed.
Dead silence enveloped the entire team. Everyone held weapons in their hands and used tactical flashlights to disperse the endless darkness.
This space seems to have been a prison. People were walking on a wide avenue, with independent rooms on both sides. Most of them were made of metal fences as thick as arms, and some of them were damaged. Broken metal pipes littered the floor.
A large amount of fine dust hung motionless in the air, but when people passed by, a turbulent air flow was set off, which seemed to make the originally stagnant time resume flowing again.
"Sir!"
Armin's voice rang on the channel. Everyone looked in the direction of his tactical flashlight and discovered a wreckage.
The remains of an Astartes.
Soshiyang stepped forward and carefully provoked the corpse with his sword. The gray veins on his face had disappeared. Now he no longer has the powerful anti-subspace power. He must Pay extra attention.
After confirming that there was no danger, he squatted down and checked it carefully.
This is actually a nearly empty shell of powered armor, with only some decayed bones inside. Obviously, time in this place is not completely stagnant.
Judging from the scarlet color of the power armor and the vaguely visible badge on the shoulder armor, this corpse should be that of a Word Bearer. The cause of his death was a penetrating wound to the face of the helmet.
Based on the width and thickness of the wound on the opponent's helmet, Soshyan speculated that what killed him should have been a sword, a sharp broad-bladed sword.
Moreover, the attacker struck very cleanly and quickly. The sword thrust out without any extra movement. The entire wound fit perfectly with the sword body, without any cracks around it.
A terrible killer.
Soshyan stood up, a little confused. This was on the Word Bearers' battleship, and then they were killed.
The prisoners in this prison rioted?
Still encountering gang fighting?
Putting these questions in his heart, Soshiyang knew that now was not the time to explore the secrets. The time set for the melta bomb to explode was coming soon.
Just as he was thinking of this, Soshiyang felt a tremor coming from the soles of his boots.
The melta bomb has been activated.
“Sir——”
Not only Soshyan, but all the Space Marines felt this tremor, and the tremor became more and more severe, as if the entire battleship was beginning to collapse. .
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Soshyan immediately led the team to look for other exits without thinking.
They moved forward and crossed the cage area, and sure enough they found a door at the other end of the cabin.
But the Space Marines raised their guns.
Because they all noticed that there was a shadow huddled in the corner about thirty meters to the right of the gate.
The moment everyone turned their targets, including tactical flashlights, to the shadow, it moved.
With incredible speed, the thing walked straight towards Soshyan's team with heavy steps.
"Fire!"
No more words needed, the muzzles of the Space Marines' bolters flickered with flames, but their bullets were all thrown behind the thing, it was too fast. . In the blink of an eye, he had crossed a distance of several hundred meters and arrived directly in front of Soshyan.
Soshiyang raised his hand, and the Sheng Yan Sword pierced that thing like thunder, but then he quickly felt a huge force in his hand.
His sword was missed.
Sparks flickered in the dark cabin for half a second, and then Soshyan felt something coming straight to his door.
The death of the Word Bearer immediately jumped into his mind.
In order to prevent himself from becoming the second corpse to fall to the ground, he twisted his wrist and drew the Sheng Yan Sword in a semicircle in front of him, trying to block the weapon.
But he miscalculated.
The threat in front of him suddenly disappeared, but something pressed against his chest.
"This——!"
The six space warriors around Soshiyang immediately pointed their guns at the thing opposite their chapter leader. Under the bright light of the tactical flashlight, Soshiyang's power armor A tear appeared in his burqa, and then it fell to the ground, revealing the shining eagle emblem on his chest.
A broad-edged sword as bright as new, with its still sharp tip, stopped in front of the eagle emblem.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the attacker who attacked them was a Space Marine!
Or looks like a Space Marine.
This man had the build of a Space Marine, with long gray-white hair that was as messy as weeds, extending to his elbows, even covering his entire face.
He was also wearing a damaged set of power armor, but it was hard to see its original appearance. Even the power backpack was covered with metal pieces, and he could only vaguely make out that the power armor seemed to be purple in color.
“Who are you?”
After a moment of silence, Soshyan and the mysterious Space Marine spoke at the same time.
Then there was silence again.
"I am Soshyan Alexey, the leader of the Astral Knights Chapter."
In the end, Soshyan announced his family name first.
But after hearing this, the man did not respond and did not put down his sword.
Soshiyang could feel that as long as the other party was willing, this sword could pierce his heart immediately.
“Drop your weapons!”
Armin on the side couldn't help it anymore, pointed his gun at the head of this mysterious space warrior, and yelled loudly.
"You..."
Then, a ghostly hoarse voice floated out from the obscured face.
"...Which legion does it belong to."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know how to answer for a while, but Soshiyang finally said:
< br>
"We are the sons of Dorne."
"Dorne...the Imperial Fist."
The man let out a long sigh, and the complex emotions contained in it, Soshyan also Hard to fathom.
Then he took back his sword.
“So, Terra, are you holding on?”
"Who are you?"
Faced with these weird words, Soshiyang had a guess in his mind, but he was not sure. After all, it sounded very incredible.
And that person finally confirmed his guess.
The opponent directly inserted the sword into the ground and pushed the hair from his face with both hands, revealing a face that was full of dirt but still handsome.
"Third Legion, Commander of the Tenth Company, Saul Tarvitz."
