Chapter 446 Unexpected Travelers
“The ship has restored the power of its psychic shield, and restrictions on psykers have been re-established.”
Hear the words of the Inquisitor , Velez nodded slowly.
The Red Corsairs were defeated, and in the end only one battleship escaped. Although it could not completely wipe out the enemy, most of the Chaos Space Marines were left behind on the black ships.
"I'm sorry for the sisters you lost, they fought with confidence and honor and you should be proud."
"I'm still very sad."
Veletz said this and looked down at the body of Emiliana Anatole. She was lying in a row with other sisters who died in the war with a calm face. It was as if they were all asleep.
“But your prey is still there, even though she almost became the property of the tyrant.”
Veletz shook his head.
"She belongs to the emperor. To me, she is just fuel."
On the bridge, in addition to the remaining nuns and stormtroopers, there were three giants, respectively wearing silver-gray, bright yellow and blue-white armor.
Three Chapter Leaders gathered together, which would be a big scene anywhere.
And what they are about to do is even more shocking.
After briefly mourning the fallen nuns, Inquisitor Quant turned his attention to the three Chapter Masters.
The appearance of the two battle groups surprised him, especially the appearance of Malakin. He had saved this battle group at the beginning, and it was he who decided to carry out the Atonement Expedition. He did not expect that they would be the ones to rescue them in the end. himself.
Perhaps this is the emperor's secret arrangement.
He immediately asked Malakin why he appeared here and the status of their atonement expedition, but what the other party said surprised him.
The Weeper has formed an alliance with the Astral Knights and is launching a raid on New Badab, Huron's lair!
This shocked Quant. He also knew about the Astral Knights. The entire battle group was almost wiped out in the World Engine battle. Although he didn’t know how many Astral Knights were left in the end, It is estimated that it will never exceed two hundred.
Just two war groups are going to attack Huron's lair, and the ranger warriors are also going to follow. These are three war groups!
"Captain Soshyan, are you sure this plan is correct?"
As the Inquisitor of the Empire, Quant cannot sit back and watch the three chapters perish, even if he knows that Huron is running towards the stars. Leaving the world knight’s home planet.
But if he was given a choice, he would rather destroy a planet than see even one company of Astartes die in battle.
He has data that many people cannot see. After years of war, the number of active war groups in the empire has dropped to the freezing point in history, and so has the number of Astartes.
In a sense, the Astartes are a species that is slowly becoming extinct.
"Judge, I am very sure of the correctness of this action and understand the necessity of all this. This is our only chance to defeat Huron."
Soshyan paused for a while, he noticed While he was talking, Velez kept looking at him.
He didn't know if the nun saw any traces of heresy in him (guilty conscience). He just hoped that the other party would not always focus on him.
“Our current situation is indeed difficult, but we must face those traitors who cannot be forgiven. If we launch this war in traditional ways, we will never reach New Badab.”
< br>He didn't say anything more, but everyone else understood that the people on the bridge were high-ranking members of the empire, and they also knew that the will of an Astartes Chapter Master was not so easily shaken.
Quant didn't want to immediately use his authority as a judge to force the other party, because the results of doing so were often very bad, and what should he do if the other party disobeyed?
Once things come to a head, not only will his personal reputation be lost, but the authority of the Tribunal will also be shaken.
He thought calmly for a while, and then asked:
"Do you know what the complete loss of three battle groups means to the empire?"
"I Of course I know, but as I said, if we run away from the enemy because we are weak, then the value of our own existence will no longer exist. We are warriors, not warlords. Preserving strength may be a temporary move, but it must not be our Code of Conduct,
If the Emperor allows our souls to return to the throne, we will be happy to do so. "
Soshiyan's words made Velez's eyes light up.
"Yes, that's right. No matter how powerful a beast is, it is still a beast. The warriors of the empire have the ability to set fire to it. Its lair! ”
The nun’s words made Quante roll his eyes.
Is this little girl really ignorant or pretending to be ignorant?
"There's not much point in arguing. We're already on the verge of launching an attack and we have no time to delay. The fleet will set off in twenty minutes. You should leave here quickly and return to a safe starting point." Quant felt a new weight. Pressing on him, it was something similar to loneliness, only stronger and deeper.
“Captain Soshyan, why do you think your current strength can defeat the Huron fortress?”
The size of the Inquisitor is the largest among the people on the bridge. He is the youngest, even shorter than the nuns, but his voice can still reflect strong authority and intimidation.
Malakin stood up and answered him.
"Our determination, our will, and the Emperor's blessing."
"Yes! The heretic's fortress is vulnerable!"
Veletz waved his fist vigorously.
Quant suddenly had a headache. He really wanted to tell this crazy woman to shut up, but he also knew that the consequence would probably be to get some kind of look as a coward.
Soshyan raised one hand, clenched it into a fist, and hit his chest hard.
"If we cannot destroy the enemy like a hammer, we will eat away at the enemy like a cancer. We are in their territory and they think they are safe here, but they are wrong! We are here to strike them and bleed them. , even if they are lucky enough to destroy one of us, Huron will find that he needs more power than imagined to destroy the rest. We have the power, and we must admit it."
They talked for several more minutes, but Quant still couldn't convince Soshyan to change his plans.
He had also considered whether to go with Soshyan, but Quant felt that he might not be able to help, and he might also get himself into trouble - it was not that he had no confidence in Soshyan , but he believes in the motto of "keeping a useful body before you can do useful things", and rarely takes risks personally.
On the other hand, Velez actually wanted the Holy Word to join the joint strike fleet to attack Huron's lair, which scared the captain.
After all the hard talking, the nun gave up her plan. Now he just wants to return to Terra as soon as possible.
Just when Soshyan and others were about to leave, Quant suddenly came up with an idea.
“Captain Soshyan, I can’t help you. You have seen Sister Velez’s bravery in battle. I can use her and the remaining seven sisters as support for you. . ”
If it were anyone else, he would definitely think that the judge was trying to kill someone with a knife.
But Velez was so excited that his breathing quickened.
She could not wait to participate in this great and glorious crusade, fight side by side with the heroic Astartes, and destroy those hateful heretics.
Soshyan was in trouble.
The nun was undoubtedly a destabilizing factor, and he did not want to cause any further complications.
"The defense of the black ship."
"A few nuns can't do much. The stormtroopers are enough. We should not encounter any enemies when we return now. Huron knows you. Come, they must mobilize their forces to defend at all costs, they have no intention of harassing us."
"This battle is very dangerous."
"Captain Soshyan!"
Before he finished speaking, Velez took a step forward and stared at him.
“Please do not underestimate our determination to devote ourselves to the Emperor!”
“That is not what I meant.”
“Then let’s go, don’t waste time.”
With that said, Velez opened his long legs and led the sisters towards the flight deck.
Soshyan looked towards Malakin, who shrugged and said that there was nothing he could do. The Battle Sisters were famous for their fanaticism, and their stubbornness was no less than that of the Space Marines.
“Looking on the bright side, we have a little more help, don’t we?”
Malakin patted him on the shoulder, and Soshyan could only let out a sigh.
After telling Velez some things, Quant watched them leave the Holy Word in the Space Marine Thunderhawk, and in the void, the huge fleet also began to move slowly——
