Chapter 63 Eagle of Death
“Who are you.”
Thor stared at Dauntless’s shell that was clean enough to reflect light, but he got the same answer as before.
"Just think of me as just an unknown person."
"A unknown person will not know the words Eagle of Death."
"Because I've lived long enough to experience most of the events, but I'm still curious about how you and your brothers survived the flames of Istvan III."
The East III incident was also the first shot of the great rebellion.
The four legions, the Sons of Horus, the World Eaters, the Death Guard, and the Emperor's Sons, used the pretext of suppressing the rebellion to send all the warriors loyal to the Emperor to the surface, and then dropped a bomb on the planet. Virus bombs and eventually sets the entire planet on fire.
However, the preset purge plan was discovered in advance by the Tenth Company Commander of the Emperor's Children, Sol Tarvitz. He personally flew a fighter to the ground and issued an advance warning to the loyal troops.
Most of the loyalists of the four legions were able to retreat into bunkers before the virus bombs fell, and avoided the first wave of blows.
After realizing that the loyalists had not been truly eliminated, the traitorous Warmaster Horus had no choice but to send ground troops. The loyalists, under the leadership of outstanding warriors such as Thor and Loken, fought bravely against the rebels, making this supposed The battle that ended in one day actually lasted for several months.
In the end, the loyalists resisted to the last moment without reinforcements. After Horus completely bombed the entire planet, he left behind this dead wasteland and headed towards Iraq. Stevan 5 moves forward.
So in the official historical records of the Empire, including the Space Marine Chapter, there are no survivors of the Istvan III incident except for the seventy warriors who escaped early.
Saul looked down at the scroll about Istvan III that Soshyan found on the bookshelf. He glanced at it a few times and then re-rolled it.
“The ancient ruins beneath Coral City saved our lives.”
He returned the scroll to Soshiyang, and without covering up anything, he said very straightforwardly:
"The Warmaster thought he knew the planet well, but he was so wrong, just like he thought the Milky Way It was destined to be under his control... There was a very ancient ruins beneath the Coral City. When the bombing started, these ruins were exposed. I led the remaining soldiers to quickly escape into the deep underground canyon."
"Who dug you out of Istvan III afterwards?"
There was a rare tone of curiosity in Brother Said's voice.
"Imperial Prime Minister Malcador, he sent Garro and his company back to the ruins of Istvan III. He seems to know that we are still alive."
"It's Malcador again... This makes sense. The Eagle of Death appeared almost at the same time as the Knight Errant."
"There is no more Eagle of Death."
Thor He shook his head bitterly.
“No more.”
“Then how did you end up alone on a Word Bearers ship?”
"After the outbreak of the Great Rebellion, we have been fighting against the traitors, vowing to recover the blood debt for our dead brothers... With battle after battle, our number is getting smaller and smaller. In the battle on the Forgotten Star, the last three hundred of us were We were ambushed by the traitors. After the bloody battle, the remaining thirty soldiers and I seized a battleship and left the battlefield."
"We encountered the Word Bearers?"
"That's right. , we were attacked by the Word Bearers on the way back to Terra. Before the battleship was about to be destroyed, we made a final resistance, a gang-hopping battle."
"Thirty people"
"Yes, thirty people... As it should be, we failed and most of the soldiers died. I kept playing hide-and-seek with them on the lower deck and killed many of them. In desperation, they Decided to summon some kind of warp creation to deal with me."
"Those guys are so incompetent. The descendants of Luojia are all useless."
"They used those captured warriors as sacrifices to summon something they couldn't control, and that thing destroyed the entire ship. The battleships were dragged into the subspace and swallowed everyone."
"Only you are the exception."
"It can't swallow me because it can't digest the fire in my heart. It cannot break through the belief.”
If everything is true, Soshyan has to stand in awe of this tenacious warrior.
In that hopeless environment, he still persisted in fighting and resisting, even allowing the devil to find no opening in his soul.
What a powerful will. What is sustaining him?
After listening, even Brother Said fell silent.
It wasn't until a minute later that his speaker buzzed again.
"Do you hate him that much?"
"Eternal blood feud."
Saul said these four words lightly.
“So when he appears in front of you——”
“I will swing my sword without hesitation.”
Brother Said's body sank slightly, as if he was observing the sword Soshiyang held in his hand. It was a simple long sword that had gone through thousands of years but was still sharp.
The hilt of this sword is a swept-back eagle wing, but it is not a pair of wings, but a single wing, which is very similar to the emblem of the Emperor's Children.
“What is it called?”
“Solomon’s Hate.”
“Ah, that second company commander...he is indeed a zealous warrior.”< br>
At this time, Sol suddenly turned around and looked at Soshyan.
"I have answered everything that I should answer. Now it is your turn to answer my questions."
His eyes looked directly at Soshiyang, and his sharp gaze even made the young man The chapter leader subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
"How can an untouchable become an Astartes."
As he spoke, he paused.
"But you are not now."
Then he turned sideways and looked at Brother Seid.
“And you, Venerable, your memory is too good. I have been in contact with many fearless people. As time goes by, their memory will decline rapidly. After ten thousand years, you , but his memory is about the same as that of a young man less than fifty years old."
Only a few shriveled laughs came from Brother Said's loudspeaker.
“We are the Astral Knights, a sub-group of the Imperial Fists. Captain Thor, you may not know that after the end of the Great Heresy, the original body of the Thirteenth Legion promulgated a Codex Astartes. , requiring all legions to be split into smaller war groups.”
"That's it."
For the first time, a smile appeared on Sol's face, but there was no warmth in it.
He stretched out his hand to Soshyan, with his palm facing up, and then before the other party could react, he suddenly reached over and pinched Soshyan's cheeks.
“Huh!?”
Soshiyang spat subconsciously, and before he pulled out his gun, Thor withdrew his hand.
"Sorry."
Saul apologized to Soshyan, and then raised his palm.
"Brother Said, you are lying."
In the palm of his hand, a thin wisp of smoke was rising slowly - Soshiyang's saliva was corroding his gauntlet .
"You are not a so-called sub-group of the Imperial Fists at all."
