Chapter 435 Between Virtual and Real
While Soshiyan was mobilizing for war, the transport ship that had previously carried six scouts had returned to the airport in Hell Iris. However, when Huron sent people to greet him, he discovered that There was no one alive on the transport ship, only the muttering servitors.
Finally, the Chaos Star Knights found the captain and officers on the bridge, but they had all been skinned and nailed to the bulkhead, forming a double-headed eagle.< br>
Below them, there is a line of words written in blood.
【Traitors will eventually die in shame】
"What does that mean?"
Looking at this tragic scene, Huron burst into laughter.
"It means"
And his deputy, the wizard lord Garon Sulet who was born among the Word Bearers, spoke up and took the data pad that the warriors had found earlier. Thinking.
“It means something malicious.”
Huron looked through the large soft crystal porthole of the transport ship at the planet below that was ravaged by the wind of subspace, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
“The style of this Astral Knight is not like the Empire’s war group at all, but closer to those bastards of the Eighth Legion.”
“But it depends on the situation, Faith Freddy and the others It must have been eliminated or captured.”
“This is not surprising.”
Huron walked to the eagle emblem made of corpses and looked at it with admiration. .
"Even if it started with such a mistake or an unexpected move, now it has reached a point where it is completely unforgivable, but I will not waste too much strength on them, it is not worth it."
Huron then used a gesture The communications officer was summoned.
"Issue a hunting order to hunt down all ships departing from the Nessen system."
"What about our target?"
Garon Sulet asked .
"This move is enough to show that the Vicious Divine Power and Golia must be in their hands, otherwise they would never do such a provocative move. But now that they have done it, things will not end so easily. I want to let They and their planet perished in wailing. I want them to be cursed by their own people, cursing them for bringing bad luck, and I will not give them the opportunity to ambush and bite me back."
Hugh. Lun showed a cruel smile, and his huge metal claws slowly scratched the line of text on the bulkhead.
"Want to anger me? Want to plan an ambush that only a fool would fall for? I am not a greenskin from the planet Ferlon."
"So, is this a personal grudge?"
The wizard smiled unabashedly.
"Of course. I will kill him, and I will torture him with my own hands, slowly."
At this time, a heretic Mechanicus priest who was inspecting the bridge console suddenly made a surprised sound.
"Holographic projection, how is it possible that a signal came from a very far away place?"
Huron frowned, walked past him, and walked towards the holographic projection platform.
“Put it on.”
When Huron stepped onto the holographic projection platform, a burst of light immediately bent and surged in front of him. Many images formed and disappeared, reappeared and faded, like spots on a film.
After that, a figure suddenly appeared there, life-size, facing Huron.
He was wearing silver-gray power armor, his face was covered by a helmet, and other shapes were crowded around him. They were a bunch of incomplete shadows, and it was impossible to distinguish any details.
"Good morning, Chapter Master Huron, Guardians of the Maelstrom."
The smile in the voice was obvious, and his title easily aroused Huron's anger.
"Ah, this should be the Soshyan Chapter Commander, right? Good morning, I just decided to disembowel you."
Even though his chest was burning with anger, Huron still had a smile on his face, Even the tone of the answer was particularly soft.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you lost your temper. The great, respected, and loyal Chapter Master Truff Huron is angry. It's really scary."
The other party's frivolous attitude The tone once again made Huron suspicious. This did not sound like an imperial chapter leader at all.
On the contrary, it is more like some Chaos Space Marines, such as the Eighth Legion that Huron hates most.
"You are not Soshyan. I don't know who you are, but your tone disgusts me, so I will open your chest, skin you, and chop your head off."
"This threat really makes me tremble all over. If only you had the courage to say this to the Minotaur Chapter and the man-eating sharks in Barbuda. Maybe they would be afraid." "You have been trying. Anger me."
Huron's voice was almost a whisper.
"What are you thinking? What are you going to do? Let me guess? There are only more than twenty wretches left in your war group. You stole things that you shouldn't have stolen. You were discovered by the owner. ”
"This is not called stealing, this is called robbing. It is a way for the strong to dominate the weak, what do you think?"
"Your words are as ridiculous as your strength."
"Just As ridiculous as you think you can do anything about it?"
"We have nothing to argue about, you maggot"
Huron intends to end this pointless scolding because of Technician. The person cannot trace the source of the other party's signal at all, and his own mouth does not seem to be as powerful as the other party's.
"I just want you to know that I will rip your hearts out, I will stick your heads on spears, and I will crush your planet."
The man in the shadow slightly Raising his head, Huron could feel that the other person seemed to be smiling, even through his helmet.
"Then come, we will entertain you well, just like we entertain the wild dogs you sent."
At this time, the afterimages behind the other party became It's clear.
They were six figures crucified on the cross. They were almost mutilated to the point of being inhuman shape. There was not a single piece of intact skin on their bodies. Some of them even had their eyes and ears cut off. There is the worst one, who is also Huron's right-hand man.
In the picture, Faith Freddy's limbs were chopped off, his eyes and mouth were sewn shut, and a metal Sky Eagle emblem was nailed into his chest.
Huron unconsciously took a step towards the holographic shadow, as if he wanted to knock it to the ground or break its neck.
"Astral Knights, you have made a serious mistake."
"Oh, really?"
The light and shadow hissed.
"It won't be a mistake when you join them."
"You think I care about them? No! I never care about losers! Do whatever you want with them, this is my punishment for them , but remember, your fate will only be worse than theirs!"
As he said that, he tore the imaging device apart with one claw.
The picture blurred for a while and then disappeared, leaving only the other party's wild laughter echoing in the bridge.
No one spoke, and no one dared to provoke Huron at this time.
After more than ten minutes, Huron's violently heaving chest slowly calmed down.
“Master, these false emperor’s lackeys must want to provoke you and make you attack recklessly. Maybe there will be an ambush somewhere——”
“That won’t be the case. "
Huron shook his head and interrupted the wizard.
"That's not the case. It's too obvious. It's obvious enough for a child to understand. They're not trying to anger me."
Looking at the Eagle emblem on the wall again, Huron smiled ferociously.
“Facing an enemy that is countless times more powerful than them, they want to anger each other again and again. Is this kind of suicide move really what they want? Maybe I was like this before I thought, but now I don’t think so. It has only been a week since the transport ship set off. It is impossible for the empire to assemble a fleet sufficient to fight us in such a short period of time.”
“Master, yours. It means"
"They hope that I am as simple-minded as you, frightened by imaginary ambush, become cautious, become cautious, in order to gain more time to survive."
"It's certainly possible."
"True and false, false and true, they want to delay time, they think they are smart?"
Huron grinned.
"Then they have to be well prepared to 'receive' us."
