Chapter 481 The Meeting of Two Heroes
Many areas of this huge complex fortress have lost their original appearance due to the chaos of the chaotic space, and are connected to each other by mazes and underground tunnels.
On the way to the central hall, every place Huron looked at was filled with traces of corrosion, and the withering scene seeped into the floor, as if it was an infection of corrosion and rust.
Due to the lack of power, the entire complex fortress was immersed in darkness, and the remaining lights were faint and dim, hovering on the edge of being completely extinguished.
The truth was as ugly as the lies, and the rooms and passages they passed through were strewn with industrial waste and partially eaten corpses - mortals and mutants, as well as Legionnaires.
Most of the dead legionnaires were wearing red pirate armor and were left to rot on the ground, with some other colors around them.
Most of the corpses here have been cut open, and their gene seeds have long been destroyed or harvested.
The charnel house-like smell pierced the armor and penetrated deeply into Huron's senses.
He felt as if it was clogging every pore, and he could even taste the sour smell of rotting meat in his mouth.
A team of scouts walked in front, leading most of them towards the depths.
At this time, Kelkus suddenly stopped at an intersection, his helmet turned, and his eyes scanned an arched bloodstain on the wall full of bullet holes.
It is no different from other biological remains seen in this fortress so far.
Huron noticed something strange about his men.
"Is there anything special about this bloody stain?"
"This is a mark, my lord."
Kelkus walked directly to the left passage and explained to Huron how the blood stain led him to this decision.
Everyone’s clawed combat boots clicked with every step they took, accompanied by the sound of scraping metal.
"Master, you may have forgotten that this is the symbol of the Sokti warband."
Kelkus muttered to Huron alone in the voice channel.
"They are a group of enchantments from the Word Bearers."
"These marks have some meaning."
Garon Sulet suddenly interjected. Huron knew this wizard and knew that his words must mean something.
"Tell me, wizard."
Huron's tone became more kind and smooth.
“What did you see?”
Garon Sulet laid his hands on those marks, and although they had no souls, the enchanted warriors left their testimonies in a unique way.
The bolt gun roared without rhythm, the charged blade slashed at the burning armor with thunder and lightning, and the boiling blood emitted hot smoke in the cold and moist air.
Life evaporated completely, and red smoke curled up and escaped from the torn ceramic steel.
Then there was an icy storm, piercing into the depths of the soul——
“The empire seems to be carrying untouchables.”
"Come prepared."
Kelkus expressed his opinion, but Huron on the side did not see it that way.
“A naked insult.”
The tyrant gritted his teeth and admitted:
“I almost admired that bastard.”
At this time, he made a decision.
"Invade the communications in this star fort. I have something to say to that bastard."
In the central hall, Soshyan has been watching every move of the Huron army, but due to The internal facilities were severely damaged, as were some of the monitors, so when Huron entered the peripheral area of the center, he could no longer see these Chaos traitors.
But at least he knew where they were.
"Get ready to engage the enemy." As he said that, he picked up the helmet on the side and prepared to take the Honor Guard and others in the center to the battlefield.
At this time, words came from the console of the audio communication array.
"Good morning, greetings to you, the great Soshiyan Chapter Master."
The voice is thick and hoarse, but also has a certain laziness, although I don't know who the other party is. , but Soshyan instinctively realized who this was most likely to be.
"Traitor, Luft Huron."
The nerves of the soldiers on the bridge immediately became tense. Except for Talos and Thor, the former didn't care and the latter didn't care.
“Ha, loyal Soshiyan Chapter Commander, although I don’t know what witchcraft means you used to interfere with the fleet’s communications, but the situation has reached this point, and we seem to have no way out, why not In this way, let’s talk face to face and talk things through.”
The next moment, Soshiyang’s laughter blended into the tense atmosphere on the bridge.
"I can understand that you are requesting an armistice? So what terms do you plan to use to achieve this armistice?"
"We all need to talk about whether to have an armistice before we know, right? I will wait for you at the gate now, with only ten people.”
Soshiyang thought for a moment, and he also felt that it would be an advantage for him to start the battle slowly, especially since he had to wait for the wailers to get into position. It would be best if he could delay it for a while, so he said:
"Okay, I Yes."
After closing the communication, Soshyan modified his deployment, and then took Thor, Talos, Mark, Armin, and three Terminators to the central entrance gate.
After securing the area, they gathered in the shadows and waited.
Soon, with heavy footsteps, eleven soldiers walked out of the shadows.
The ranks of the Red Corsairs are colorful. In addition to Huron's own troops, some traitors from other legions are also involved, including even the Emperor's Children.
Although wearing a helmet and unable to see his expression, Soshyan still noticed that when Thor saw the soldier, his original calmness immediately turned into anger.
But this anger quickly disappeared.
Luft Huron walked in front, striding forward, making the floor tremble with every step he took.
The gods hate everyone - but now they are all paying attention to this tyrant. The warp whispers in the air around him, and the spirits of plague and disease and the foreign objects of fickle fate fill him. In the invisible space beside them, they constantly tell the owner's aura the promise of a golden future and eternal life.
Huron's body looked very uncoordinated. The injured part seemed to have shrunk, making his left and right shoulders unusually awkward.
Metal spines pierced through his skin and bones, covered with a layer of thick and dark blood, like unrefined promethium oil fuel.
And the huge pair of metal claws in his hands are even more breathtaking.
After that, he stood opposite Soshyan, and the distance between the two became more than ten meters.
Even Soshiyang, who was wearing Terminator armor, was not much taller than his opponent.
On the ground between the two war lords is a metal-crafted painting depicting two ancient warriors armed with shields and spears fighting each other.
Soshiyan must admit that the traitor standing in front of him does have the appearance of an overlord, with extraordinary bearing and detachment from the soldiers under his command. He can even see a chain that means submission wrapped around those Chaos Space Marines. 's throat, and the other end of the chain was held in Huron's clutches.
In Huron's eyes, Soshyan looked no different from the warriors around him, more like a mortal leader, the chief among equals.
"The leader of the Astral Knights Chapter, Soshyan Alexey."
Huron raised his paw and greeted him in a gentle tone.
Soshyan responded to his enemy's words with a sincere, mocking laugh.
“Luft Huron, the Black-Hearted King, the Butcher of Badab, we finally meet.”
“Indeed, if my army goes to annihilate your tribe before , If you could resist running away, we would have met a long time ago."
Soshiyang pulled up the corners of his lips and showed his white teeth, which might be a smile.
“Yes, we escaped, fled to your den, and slaughtered your wild dog pups one by one, just like you turned back halfway.”
Huron smiled too, showing his bloody gums.
