Chapter 834 Civil War
“For the glory of the Astral Knight.”
Robin was still whispering, his eyes fixed on the sword grid.
"For the Emperor."
Although it was a bit inappropriate, Bahram still wanted to remind the other party that what they were fighting was a civil war and had nothing to do with loyalty.
In fact, win or lose, this battle cannot be called glory, at least that's what Bahram thinks.
All that is lost is the empire.
Just when he was thinking wildly, with an explosive collision, everything in his mind was instantly confused.
The Jump Gang torpedo advanced two kilometers in seconds, gravity pressed the Angels against their safety door, and the view in the observation hole changed from gray steel to open void.
The firepower of laser cannons and macrocannons flashed in the void, and then a second sound spread across the torpedo. That was the autonomous drive system being ignited, and the corrective thrusters adjusting its departure course.
Bahram watched through his narrow opening as a barrage of lance strikes from the Unbound Soul penetrated a Minotaur Chapter frigate, exploding as the ship's interior air ignited.
He sighed softly and looked away.
“Why are you sighing.”
Suddenly, he turned his head and found Robin staring at him.
“It’s just a little regretful.”
"Why."
"Everyone is fighting for the empire, but now"
"These people threaten the Chapter."
Robin narrowed his eyes and spoke with He said in an almost contemptuous tone:
“They deserve to die.”
"Although there may be a conflict of interest, they are still loyal warriors of the empire after all. Such blood should not be shed on the battlefield where fellow brothers are fighting."
"The empire, they made the empire what it is now. Don't you understand? The only way to save the empire is to rely on a strong chapter, relying on powerful and wise heroes like Chapter Master and Instructor Thor, rather than these mediocre mediocre people."
Bach. Ram looked at the other person and didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he had always known that there was an unreasonable enthusiasm for the Chapter and Chapter Leader in Robin's heart, he never thought that this enthusiasm would expand so much.
And Robin's undisguised contempt for mortals frightened him even more.
Perhaps in the other party's mind, the Astartes are already higher than the Empire - the current Empire.
"We are about to go to the battlefield, what boring topics are you talking about."
Hao Mo suddenly interrupted, and then a countdown sounded from the speaker.
"Impacted at seven, six, five..."
Robin then closed his mouth, lowered his head and put his sword into its sheath, while Haoma stretched out his hand and said comfortingly Tap Bahram on the shoulder.
“Brother, there is no need to look for trouble.”
"Four, three——"
"Contact target!"
Boom——!
The impact caused everyone to fall forward in front of the jumping torpedo, and Bahram felt his superhuman physique squeezed against the back of the seat.
As the giant thermal melt installed on the grille was activated, the light shone in the crack in front, white-hot, like a supernova.
The Stormmaiden's hull armor evaporated and she was unable to slow the assault torpedoes.
In just a few seconds, it penetrated the thick outer layer.
With one crack after another, the jumping torpedo crashed through the bulkhead and internal truss, but the inertial suppression system gradually slowed down each successive impact, so Bahram's pull on the torpedo finally stopped It was already in the process of undoing the condom.
"Why does the position feel different than expected?"
Oscar asked as he stood up, breaking free of his restraints and raising his bolter. "The ship must have changed direction."
A warrior opposite him said with a smile.
"It is turning, probably to engage the Unbound Soul."
"How brave."
Bahram turns around, rumbles ahead The sound echoed through the cabin, and the gas sprayed on the assault hatch, extinguishing the flames and quickly cooling the deck metal that had turned red due to frictional heat.
A swirling cloud filled the deck, and the rate of temperature change flashed in his helmet's eyepiece.
"Everyone, follow me."
As the door banged open, Ustad was the first to step out of the torpedo.
Other soldiers then walked heavily down the gangplank, clearing the passage they had crashed into.
At the same time cast their augury net wide enough to allow the augur to locate their entry point.
"Deck Two, Area Ten."
Soon, Ustad determined their location.
"The early impact brought us a few hundred meters closer to our destination."
Suddenly, a howl of fear and anger echoed through the passage.
“Destroy those traitors!”
The soldiers turned their guns in that direction, and Bahram heard footsteps.
Soon, a group of uniformed and nervous-looking mortals appeared at the corner at the end of the passage. As Bahram could see, they had the red bull emblem of the Minotaur Chapter on their bodies, as well as flashlights. bright eagle emblem.
Some people opened fire blindly with shotguns and laser guns. Bahram counted about two hundred.
And it seems that more people are still coming from behind.
Zod begins to breathe from his heavy flamethrower.
"We are going to the bridge."
Ustad said grimly, raising his masterwork bolt pistol and indicating that the armor's elbow joints were locked.
"Blockers, kill!"
Then, he was the first to pull the trigger.
With the roar, the explosive bomb flew out from the bullet, exploding the chest of an officer and tearing the eagle logo to pieces——
Then the soldiers swarmed in and quickly cleared the road.
At first they went relatively smoothly, encountering only mortal resistance forces, but they soon realized that they were encountering a group of enemies who were very good at fighting the Astartes.
The interior of the Storm Lady is different from most Astartes warships. Its passages and cabins have been specially modified, and the entrances and exits in many places have been specially reinforced and made very short. , only mortals can pass through, but it is very difficult for Astartes to squeeze in.
At the same time, when the invasion occurred, a large number of bunkers and roadblocks were automatically generated inside the entire battleship, and a large number of automatic turrets that should not have existed appeared in hidden locations such as passage corners and vents, and The original fire sprinklers sprayed not fire extinguisher, but blazing flames, and even hidden mines were deployed frantically in some areas -
These countermeasures created a very serious situation for the Star Knights' gang-hopping troops. Serious trouble, six warriors fell before the enemy Astartes could even be engaged.
Despite this, everyone is still moving towards the goal with great determination.
Everyone knows his role, everyone knows the role of his brothers, and if someone falls, one of his brothers will take his place.
Bahram stepped forward quickly, bolter clutched tightly in his hand. He could hear the sounds of battle coming from the adjacent cabins - the explosion of bolters and the desperate cries of mortals. Screams.
Astral Knights will abandon those mortal cabins if they are unarmed. If there are armed personnel inside, they must be eliminated. After all, they go deep alone and cannot leave hidden dangers behind them.
More importantly, they have approached the upper deck!
