Chapter 333 Honor Duel
“Regional security.”
Soshiyan reported in the communication channel, and Thor also shouted the same thing.
The Crow Prince walked over to one of the pillars and rubbed his armored hand over its sculptured side.
“What did you hear?”
Soshyan did not answer at first. He listened carefully for a while.
"There is only the sound of wind."
He was very confused, could it be that the original Savita could hear something hidden under the sound of wind? Could he hear anything other than his own slow breathing and the sound of the pulse counter on the left side of his retina?
Soshiyan blinked and turned off his retina screen.
At this time, he heard some extremely subtle noise, a sound that seemed slightly familiar to him.
"Wait, this is-"
Soshiyang frowned.
"There is a disturbance in the subspace."
Savitar's black eyes seemed to be glowing at this time. He stared at a wall in the distance, his gaze seemed to penetrate it.
“We have to hurry up——”
During the third minute of waiting in the main control room of the Star Castle, the sound of the gate activating announced the arrival of the person being waited for.
Golgri looked at the center of the smoke. Behind him were all the recruits in the regiment and his honor guard.
Soon, a figure emerged, wrapped in simple purple armor. The helmet was tucked under the armpit of his left arm, revealing his tough and battle-scarred cheeks.
His body was covered with records of all the massacres and victories against the enemies of mankind engraved in High Gothic, and the floor creaked as he moved.
Then he stopped five meters in front of Gorgli, and hit his chest hard with his clenched right fist, making a clanging sound.
"Think Tank Director Sarpedon reports to you, Chapter Commander."
His voice was calm and calm, without any tension at all, just like the two people used to meet every day.
Behind him, the veterans also lined up and saluted Gorgli neatly.
"You..."
Gorgli hesitated for a moment. He raised his hand to his collar, unlocked the helmet lock hidden there, and then took off his helmet.
An undisguised surprise appeared on his face, like a face that could only be carved from flawless marble.
In Golgri's eyes, Sarpedon should be a calm, wise warrior.
"Sarpedon?"
He asked then, his strong voice softened by suspicion.
“What exactly did you do?”
But the think tank director ignored the question.
"Everything I do is for the honor of the Chapter."
Gorgari slowly, but firmly, drew his sword.
He did not choose a warning stance, nor did he issue a threat to the opponent.
Instead, he just held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stood the sword in front of him while he looked directly at the think tank director.
"I ask you one question and only once, why do you want to rebel?"
"Ah, in return I have to ask you something, my brother,"
Thal Bodon revealed his sharp teeth with a tired sigh.
"Chapter Commander, please listen carefully to me. We are here to recapture the original body's sacred object 'Soul Spear', but when we were about to succeed, the Mechanicus suddenly teleported to the Star Castle. Inside, the soul spear was taken away.”
“Soul spear?”
Gorgori had heard of this Chapter relic. It was once a warp vortex weapon used by the primarch Dorn during the Great Crusade. After the second founding of the army, it became the relic of the Soul Drinkers, but in Lost six thousand years ago, the Chapter has been searching for it.
“Yes, you should know the significance of Soul Spear to the Chapter, but even so, we did not choose to conflict with the Mechanicus at the beginning. We just strengthened the defense of the platform and asked the Mechanicus to interact with us. The Resurrection Spear, however, they took away the Soul Spear and aimed a giant siege cannon at us. We were forced to board the ship and destroy the weapons of the Mechanicum in order to protect ourselves."
Hearing this. , Gorgli was very surprised. This was obviously completely different from the report of the Mechanicus. So his attitude softened a little.
“Then why do you want to kill the Tech Sage?”
"Because he refused to tell the whereabouts of the soul spear."
Sarpedon said these words in a matter-of-fact tone, but it made Golgrid's spine shiver.
“You didn’t inform me in advance?”
“The matter is urgent.”
“Then you can choose to wait for me to come back before handling this matter.”
"Sorry, I didn't think well."
"Then do you know that because of your actions, the war group has been declared excommunicated and rebellious by the Inquisition!"
As soon as these words came out , the recruits and veterans were in an uproar, obviously not many people knew about this matter.
Sarpedon was silent for a while, then nodded.
"Know."
"Now that you know it, why did you refuse the investigation of the Tribunal in the first place!"
The director of the think tank suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be burning.
"Because the Inquisition cannot represent the Empire! It cannot represent the Emperor! The souls of the Soul Drinkers only swear to the Golden Throne! Not those biting mad dogs! They have no right to judge us!"
< br>Golgri took a deep breath and lowered the tip of his sword.
“You are wrong, Sarpedon. Your ideas are too dangerous. I cannot allow you to continue to lead the Chapter astray. Here, as the Chapter Leader, I announce the dismissal of your think tank. Director's duties and make arrests."
The think tank director looked at him without making any move.
"Golgri, do you know what you are doing."
At this time, the priest behind took a step forward.
"I know very well, Chief Priest."
Sarpedon shook his head.
"Sorry, I cannot obey. Your behavior is what really led the war group astray."
As he said that, the think tank director drew his sword.
"Chapter Master Gorgri, in the presence of the Emperor and the Primarch, I challenge your command."
"Very good."
The two former comrades faced each other with swords raised, and then rushed towards each other under the gaze of everyone.
It is one of the traditions of some Adeptus Astartes to engage in a duel for leadership when a subordinate questions the decisions of his superior.
Soon, they were reduced to a blur of ferocious movements, slashing and thrusting so ever-changing that it looked like a choreographed dance.
Golgri turned his sword back, and the silver steel blade shot out of the air, blurring into a crescent moon. Every slash he made hit Sarpedon's defense. Sparks erupted from the power sword as it struck the Librarian's chainsword, each of his strikes delivered with unparalleled speed and power.
The movements of the two warriors far exceeded the limits of mortals, and their speed defied the eyesight of others.
But Gorgori is superior in combat skills after all. He was able to become the Chapter Leader not just because of the favor of the previous Chapter Leader. His swordsmanship has long been among the best in the Chapter. .
"We have never fought, have we?"
Gorgli's voice continued to come out from his clenched teeth.
Every few seconds, Sarpedon's armor and even his face would receive a fresh wound.
Although he is fast enough to avoid death in Gorgori's hands, he is not skilled enough to perfectly defend against every blow.
“I’ve never liked swords.”
The Librarian ducked to avoid a sword blow, and then the chainsword poked out.
Gorgari then leaned back, his balance giving him supernaturally perfect movements. The whirling saw teeth only shattered the aquila decoration on his breastplate, barely enough to touch a bit of ceramite. The surface of the armor.
