Chapter 416 Ancient Warrior Danyathos
Sarpedon, the former think tank director of the Soul Drinkers Chapter, raised his head. His noble face in the past was now as pale as a corpse, and he His face was twisted with anger and frustration.
In the darkness of a cold tomb, a blazing brazier illuminated his face, and his eyes reflected the flames.
“I saw a prophecy and felt the truth through the blood of the sacrifice on my tongue.”
He was roaring in a low voice, facing the silent audience, the ancient fearlessness, Danyasos is also the author of "Answers to the Army".
"Countless images filled my mind. I recited incantations, offered tributes and sacrifices to pray to the great power, and spent countless hours meditating to open myself to the greatness and wisdom of the living ether, but the meaning remained unclear!"
Sarpedon clenched his fists, the servo muscles of his power armor whining as his body tensed.
"I can't stand this shame anymore. I want to crush his bones with my fists and make him pay for his crimes. I want to take back our sacred objects!"
"Calm down! Come down, Sarpedon."
The ancient fearlessness roared, and the sound was like the tomb itself being given words, and the incredible deep bass echoed among the calm tombstones, every word. Slow and leisurely, enhanced by a powerful PA system.
In the past, Danyathos was a mighty hero who fought alongside other great warriors, led the Soul Drinkers as a Captain against countless enemies of the Emperor, and wrote the Soul Drinker "An Army Question" The work of the author’s soul.
Sarpedon has been studying every one of his sermons and precepts since the day he joined the warband.
In his opinion at that time, everything written by this ancient warrior was a perfect masterpiece of rhetoric and belief, full of indignant hatred.
However, Danyathos still fell in a certain battle, a battle against the enemy of mankind.
"You are too resistant to those sights. Those sights are gifts from the gods, and you should accept them with as much gratitude as any other gift from the Power."
The remaining limbs of the former passionate leader were now buried in the iron coffin in front of Sarpedon. Even though his body was completely destroyed, he continued to live in the tomb made of a new shell.
But no one knew that he was still alive, not even Sarpedon.
Until he was embraced by the power of Chaos, a whisper told him the truth.
At first he had doubts. When he led the remnant army of Soul Drinkers to the deserted planet of Selaka and found the Dreadnought stored in the stasis stance in the planet's catacombs, he I finally confirmed that what I heard was true.
It was not until this time that he truly understood their secrets.
According to Danyathos' account, it turns out that the Soul Drinkers are the bloodline of the Second Legion. Their original body and legions were destroyed by the ruthless Emperor and brothers.
The reason why Danyasos can know all this is because after he awakened the power of the former legion, he was favored by the dark power and returned the lost history to him.
And his goal of surviving until now is to rebuild the Second Legion, and in the name of the Dark Power, take revenge on the empire that destroyed them in the past!
After learning all this, Sarpedon felt calm, and the confusion that had surrounded him before disappeared with the wind.
More importantly, he wants revenge more and more urgently, and wants to take revenge on the person who took everything away from him.
Astral Knight, Soshyan Alexey.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After Danyathos spoke, Sarpedon’s frustration and anger disappeared.
He smiled slightly, his face that originally looked confused and distorted with anger returned to calm, and his black eyes shone.
“Don’t be impatient, your expectations will be satisfied immediately.”
Danyasos continued:
“As long as you continue to walk on the path of devotion, the glory of the gods will surely come, but you must actively throw yourself into the arms of the powerful, and they will give you support. Only in this way can you Lift the fog in front of you, only in this way can you understand the meaning of those scenes. There is no need to be afraid of the darkness, because you are the darkness."
Fearless raised its huge mechanical arm, and the joints hissed. Loud steam.
“Our genetic father was once infinitely close to this path, but he was eventually torn apart by those brutal brothers, just as those villains tore our warband apart!”
Just mentioning the word warband made Sarpedon feel a twinge of pain.
The memories were still vivid in his mind, and the rage, hatred, and indignation still burned brightly within him.
How he wishes he could lead the soldiers to kill those hypocrites and traitors now, but he cannot do so.
“But we are too weak now.”
Sarpedon said bitterly:
“We have less than a hundred warriors left. There is only one small battleship left, all weapons and equipment have been thrown away, and we have almost nothing.”
"Are you scared?"
"No, of course not."
Sarpedon lowered his head.
“It’s just that we don’t have a plan yet.”
“Let’s go back to the ship first, maybe others already have plans.”
Sarpedon frowned when he heard Fearless's words, but he didn't ask any more questions and instead summoned the Thunder Eagle.
When Thunderhawk transported the Dauntless back to the Greyhound, Priest Ictinos was already waiting on the flight deck.
Sarpedon followed Dauntless down the assault ramp where the Thunderhawk descended with firm steps.
After that, he took off his helmet and took a deep breath.
Now the Greyhound's cabin is filled with pollutants, smoke and corruption. Ever since Sarpedon used his psychic powers to control the ship's navigator and astropath, there has been a huge amount of pollution here. change.
The minarets that once carved the sacred outline were demolished and replaced with spiked iron pillars on which many corpses were strung.
Purple red lines covered the originally flat, gray walls of the upper deck, and the walls of the corridor were painted with the symbols of the great gods in blood.
Nodding to the honor guards who stood on either side of the towering arch, Sarpedon and Dauntless walked past them onto the large terrace. Ictinos immediately walked to Wuwei's side, bowed his head and knelt down.
“Great master, welcome your return.”
After a while, Wuwei gently placed the robotic arm on his head.
"The dark gods of the invisible realm bless you, my chief priest, to be free."
Ictinos stood up.
“The Soul Drinker has been brought back to the right path, although the process is not perfect.”
“The so-called perfection is just an illusory trap.”
Wuwei responded decisively:
"We should pursue more practical results. You have done a good job."
"Your praise makes me extremely honored, master, but now we are still facing Many difficulties and enemies."
"No need to worry, as long as we take the right path, we will crush any enemy. They are stronger than us, yes, but when they are in the decaying greenhouse of the empire. This is no longer the case. Through provocation, seduction and deception, we have many ways to weaken them, and they will be vulnerable."
"I understand, Master, but"
Ictinos glanced at Sarpedon.
“I don’t think our new Chapter Master understands this.”
Sarpedon looked at the priest without saying anything, and even his eyes did not waver, as if he was just watching. A stone.
"Sarpedon does not need to understand, he will be the leader of the legion. He knows his position and can perform his duties perfectly."
Fearless said with profound meaning:
"He is, and always has been, a better warrior than you, Ictinos."
"Master, I, I didn't mean that-"
"I didn't Blame you."
Wuwei waved his mechanical arm.
“Getting back to the subject, as you said, we are in trouble and lack all necessary manpower and material resources, so do you have any solutions.”
Sarpedon's expression finally changed. He raised his brows and looked at the priest with interest. His mutated appendages gently scratched the metal ground.
"Yes, Master, I have some preliminary ideas."
"Tell me about it."
"About the Astral Knights Chapter——"
Ictinos paused for a moment, then glanced at Sarpedon, and after confirming that the other person's expression was a little stiff, he continued with a slight smile.
"I checked the Greyhound's battle records and found that the opponent used a large cruiser during the attack, and it was not a model known to the Empire. According to the Empire's records, the Astral Knights suffered a blow a few years ago. A devastating blow, almost the entire army was wiped out, and then they were expelled from the corrupt Terran Council. All the Chapter's assets were taken over by another new Chapter. Under this situation, they had no reason to own such a powerful battleship. "
"It may have been captured in a battle."
Sarpedon coldly raised the possibility.
Ictinos smiled.
"Yes, it is indeed possible, and the possibility is very high. Speaking of which, I also heard about something from some friends. The Red Pirates issued a reward order."
"Reward order? What is the target."
"A battleship."
As soon as he said this, Sarpedon immediately showed a look of understanding.
“You mean they stole this ship from the Hurons.”
“Maybe so, maybe not, but it doesn’t matter.”
The priest looked like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand. This artificial expression made Sarpedon feel sick to his stomach, but he didn't want to get sick.
“The important thing is that with this information, we can get on the line with Huron. Now that the power of the Black Heart King is developing rapidly, and he is a warlord with a great reputation, we may be able to temporarily rely on him to recover. Power."
"You want us to join the Red Pirates?"
Sarpedon's tone suddenly changed.
“Our situation is very bad now, so let’s put down your useless pride, legion commander.”
The priest said the last three words in a very strange way, and sparks of spiritual power immediately appeared in Sarpedon's eyes.
"Okay."
Finally, Wuwei, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, and the two people who were at war with each other immediately calmed down their posture.
"Iktinos is right. We should restrain our unnecessary self-esteem now. Sarpedon, don't forget that the result is the most important."
Sa The corners of Erpedon's eyes twitched twice, and finally he lowered his head.
"Yes."
"Ictinos, just do what you said and contact the black-hearted king."
"Yes, master, I will do it right away."
