Chapter 847 Resolving old grudges
The appearance of the Necrons completely disrupted the battle situation.
The first one to react was the Shark Chapter. They turned the direction of the fleet at a speed that was almost stressful and headed straight for the alien warships wandering near the Minotaur fleet. , without any concern for the White Templar fleet behind him and the Astral Knight fleet beside him.
Seeing this scene, Soshiyang had some concerns.
Obviously, in the concept of the man-eating shark, destroying the aliens is the top priority, and everything else can be temporarily put aside.
At this point, the situation has completely shifted in his favor.
So he connected to the communications of the Force of Daedalus again.
"Captain Asterion, it is obvious that your allies no longer support your ideas, so what is your choice? At least I can promise that I will only point my gun at the aliens, Rather than the same kind."
After about five minutes of silence, an emotionless voice sounded from the other end of the communicator.
“I can promise that too.”
"Okay then, let's destroy these aliens first. There must be a tomb of the undead on the planet, and it has already awakened."
Soon, the two originally hostile fleets began to separate, and the Minotaur fleet turned around As for the alien warship that harassed them, the Astral Knights sent a dozen transport ships to transport a group of mortal troops and sailors to the Lady of the Storm and bring back the Astartes warriors on it.
Then the White Templar also joined the formation of the Astral Knights and began to change direction to face the alien threat.
At this time, the man-eating sharks were already fighting fiercely with the alien warships. Not long after the exchange of fire between the two sides, two more alien warships with the same shape and size as the first one rose from the surface of the planet. At the same time, seven smaller ships were also brought.
The addition of these new forces made the battle of the Man-Eating Sharks suddenly difficult. Many battleships were damaged, especially the White Taotie, which rushed forward, and its right side was torn open. A large gash nearly a kilometer long was created.
What about the other three Chapters?
It's a bit embarrassing to say that, although in theory everyone put aside their grudges to fight the enemy together, in fact there is no basis for trust. The Minotaur's fleet still uses the fire control system to lock the Unbound Soul, and White The fleets of the Templar and Astral Knights also fixed the fire control system on each other's flagship.
Even attacking the aliens was half-hearted and uncoordinated. Not only did they not form a joint force, but they were afraid of each other and did not dare to use their full strength, creating a situation of 1+1<2.
The Man-Eating Shark didn't express much about this. It still focused on fighting the aliens, even more ferociously than before. It also launched a desperate torpedo assault with a frigate, successfully crippling one of the opponent's main warships.
But if we continue, the situation may not change, because a major feature of the Necron warships is that they can repair themselves.
Eventually, Soshyan had to send a new message.
"Judge Marcus, can you come to the ship?"
This is an invitation. Although there is no hostility, the other party is likely to reject it, especially since he almost had a fight with him just now. The other party fell out.
About ten minutes later, a shuttle took Marcus to the Unbound Soul.
Soshyan had to admit that this judge did have some courage, although he was no longer young.
Meeting each other again, Marcus was already a serious and steady middle-aged man, with a neat beard on his lips, wearing a decent black uniform, and holding a cane in his hand - Soshiyang could tell at a glance Come on, that's a weapon.
But he didn't point it out, nor did he let the guards take away the opponent's weapons.
The two met on the bridge. Instead of saying hello, they fell silent.
After a while, Soshyan took the initiative and said:
“Long time no see, Judge Marcus.”
"You too, Chapter Master Soshiyan."
"The scene of us fighting side by side in Valedo is still vivid in my mind. I believe you are still an upright and brave man. We should not Become an enemy.”
Marcus shook his head.
"But I have a responsibility, which is higher than anything else, whether it is friendship or anything else."
Soshiyang sighed softly.
"Then what are you suspecting?"
"You have already caught her, so why ask questions knowingly? I just ask, what is the situation with the Soul Drinker?" When he asked this question , Marcus felt an awe-inspiring killing intent going straight to his neck, making the hairs all over his body stand on end.
But the killing intent did not come from the person in front of him, but from somewhere else.
“I don’t know.”
"Captain Soshyan, I still think that you are a loyal imperial warrior. If you have a clear conscience, why should you be secretive?"
"Then Judge Marcus, what you speculated What is the conclusion? "
"Speculation? No, I spent nearly ten years investigating. After the Soul Drinker civil war, the rebels joined the Hurons and became part of the Red Pirates. They once attacked your home planet, but those who did not rebel have since disappeared from the empire’s records. This is completely abnormal!”
“Why is it abnormal? The galaxy is full of crises, even if An Astartes Chapter cannot guarantee to survive all crises."
"Then Chapter Master Soshyan, how do you explain the abnormal growth of the Chapter's numbers?"< br>
"What is normal and what is abnormal?"
Soshiyang stepped forward and said with a strong sense of oppression:
"Judge Marcus, what do you mean to Asta?" How much do you know about transformation surgery? Or does the Inquisition already think it has control over everything in the Adeptus Astartes? "
"You don't need to be sophistical, I am the Inquisitor, and the Golden Throne is given to you? I doubt everything and have the qualifications to examine everything."
"Then I can also tell you that we are Astartes. Before the Inquisition appeared, the Emperor gave us the power to protect humanity and the Empire. Responsibility! ”
Marcus narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"But it was you who almost destroyed the empire."
Before he finished speaking, the sound of gun bolts sliding was heard all around.
Soshyan stared at him, and then whispered:
"So this is also the reason why I didn't kill you in Valedo."
"Oh? I didn't expect that I would make the Chapter Leader murderous so early."
Soshiyan did not respond, but snorted softly, and then Talos came from behind Marcus and said He took out a thick book wrapped with a large number of scriptures from his belt.
Looking at this book, Marcus raised his eyebrows.
Although there was a seal, he could feel the demonic aura coming from above.
“This is——”
"This is what you are looking for on Valedo. We have been closely guarding it over the years. Since you think this thing is more suitable for the custody of the Inquisitor, there is nothing wrong with handing it over to you."
Maku Si looked away from the grimoire and looked at Soshyan.
“Is this a deal?”
“If that’s what you’re thinking, then I don’t mind.”
“You know that, Terra? Someone is already targeting you, and even if it’s not me, there will be another one.”
"This is my business. I just hope that our friendship will not turn into hatred."
Marcus glanced at the grimoire again, then sighed softly and reached out to pick it up.
“I understand, this matter ends here, but I can’t guarantee what happens in the future.”
After obtaining the grimoire, Marcus quickly returned to the Power of Daedalus No., but what he didn't know was that the grimoire in his hand was actually a fake, and it only contained a relatively powerful Slaanesh Banshee sealed inside.
The real thing is now in the hands of an amber-skinned giant, and it groans in pain as the ritual dagger pierces it——
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! ! But during your short vacation, you should also be wary of the infiltration of the Lunar Gene Sect. Do not eat the mooncake when it appears in the following conditions (activated, whispering, bleeding, rotten)!
Daily Thought:
Death and responsibility are all we have to pay
