Chapter 904: Beheading
Plaid knew that they would fail, but he never thought that failure would come so quickly.
When he saw the Astral Knights in the monitor using unknown weapons to massacre the defending Red Pirates, and listened to their screams in the communicator, the former Red Scorpion Chapter Captain My heart feels really cold.
He has never seen this kind of plasma weapon, which can actually create a terrifying rain of bullets in a short period of time, defeating all attempts by the Red Pirates to resist.
What made him even more irritated was that just when he was planning to die together and overload the plasma engine of the battleship, he learned that the heretical Mechanicus sage in charge of that area had already escaped with his team in a private aircraft. There were left a few apprentices looking at the many instruments in a daze and a large group of drooling servitors.
Before leaving, the bastard vowed to go to the Warmaster for help.
Plaid really wanted to reply to the other party: Go to hell.
Not only these technological heretics, but even many Chaos Space Marines privately piloted Thunderhawks in an attempt to escape. The Red Corsairs' own organizational flaws were clearly exposed when they fell into despair.
Less than half of the people are truly determined to fight to the end.
Now, these people are basically beside Praid, making their last resistance in the audience hall leading to the bridge.
The sound of the enemy's special weapon resounded through the hall. Even the respirator mask could not completely filter out the unique smell of plasma. The only fifty or so red pirates hiding in the room were still strong. Behind the metal bunker, he didn't dare to show his head at all.
The Astral Knights in charge of the attack didn't seem to be in a hurry. They just used their superior firepower to hold the Red Pirates behind the bunker. They even set up two of those rapid-fire plasma cannons. It took five minutes.
What's even more disgusting is that the Red Pirates also saw the head of the Berserker Assault Captain on the company flag of the Astral Knights, which had a big impact on everyone's morale.
“Shameless fake imperial dog!”
Plaid squatted behind a huge metal column, listening to the sizzling sound of plasma hitting the metal, and quietly poked his head out to take a look at the situation.
The next second, he immediately shrank back.
A series of plasma balls hit the pillar immediately.
"I will fight with you!!!"
Finally, a few red pirates couldn't stand the anger, raised their shields and tried to charge.
But as soon as they stood up, various rockets and plasma balls flew away like raindrops, which were also mixed with the huge and hot light ball of the plasma cannon.
In the blink of an eye, several smoking corpses fell behind the bunker. The shields they clenched in their hands were either torn apart or melted like gel——
"Pseudo-Emperor" The lackey! ”
Realizing that the end was coming, Plaid decided to give it a try.
“Have you even lost the courage of the Astartes!? How about we have a fair duel!!!”
"Death to the traitor."
This was Ustad's response.
“Are you their commander!”
Plaid immediately realized that the identity of the person who replied to his words was unusual.
“If you can defeat me, I will tell my men to put down their weapons!”
"Haha, you don't deserve such a glorious duel, scum, what do you think we are waiting for?"
Suddenly, Plaid heard some kind of storm-like noise, and then he realized that it was teleportation movement.
When the huge combat robot pushed away the heavy bunker, Praid knew that their end had come -
"Fight them!!"
Although he knew it was too late to say this, Plaid decided to die with more dignity.
The red pirates shouted and rushed out from behind the bunker, rushing towards the battle robot in despair, but as soon as they appeared, more than a dozen of them were knocked down.
At this time, the Red Pirates knew what was most desperate - they could hardly touch the Astral Knights.
The only person who has a chance to meet the Astral Knight is because the other party decides to give him a chance.
"Coward!"
Plaid roared, throwing his helmet aside so that his enemy could see his face, and then turned to the shield-bearing captain in front of him Pounce.
Ustad responded calmly. When the two power swords collided, the huge energy collision illuminated the surroundings.
The two Astartes dodged each other's blades, their weapons intertwined and sparks flew, and then quickly retreated to distance themselves. Plaid calmed down his anger. He designed a loophole and tried to cut Ustad's shoulder open. However, the opponent had already reached his attack. After swatting away the power sword with his shield, he stabbed his sword into Plaid with his backhand. Ed's shoulders.
But the company commander of the Red Scorpion was not in vain. He immediately dodged and took a few steps back, slamming down on the shield to force Ustad back.
"I am a master swordsman, an astral knight."
Plaid carefully prodded his opponent.
"You are like a chick, you can't fool me."
"Then let's see."
Ustad responded calmly, telling him The weapon is thrown at the opponent.
The red pirate avoided the blow, turned around, moved to the right as if nothing had happened, and gave Ustad's shield a hard kick.
Such a heavy blow made Ustad stagger back two steps, and Plaid seized the opportunity to step forward with his sword.
A dazzling light flashed, and Ustad felt the heat of energy on the blade as the opponent's power sword approached.
Ustad raised his sword in time, and the two swords collided together again, and then it hovered next to Plaid's face.
The swords in their hands are the only things that can prevent each other from cutting off their heads.
At the same time, the surrounding battles were about to end. Almost all the red pirates were killed, and a few injured ones could only wait to be touched up by the Astral Knights.
"Give up."
Ustad hissed, pressing the sword tighter.
"No!"
Plaid roared in reply.
"You are finished, Astral Knight!"
This confidence comes from Plaid’s belief that he is holding the sword with both hands and the opponent is holding the sword with one hand. As long as he works harder——
But he never realizes that the opponent can restrict him with just one hand. .
Suddenly, a biting cold wind swept through their bodies.
Ustad's eyes flashed, and the shield in his hand suddenly fell off, revealing a shorter power sword.
Before Praid could react, the dagger surrounding the decomposition field swiped from bottom to top, slicing open his right wrist and abdomen.
Holding the scratched broken arm, Praid knelt down and lowered his head. The power armor was like a broken water tank, steaming blood kept coming out.
“For people like you, this is the best ending.”
Feeling the sword on his neck, Plaid muttered to himself:
"Why...abandon me..."
In the midst of grunting, the red pirate war lord's head rolled off his shoulders——
"The Chapter Commander and the Second Company Commander reported that the enemy flagship has been controlled. There is also news from Chapter Commander Randall that they have controlled the enemy ship. The flying squadron is still intercepting and destroying the enemies who are trying to escape. At present, The airspace has been basically cleared.”
On the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, Soshyan, who was sitting on the silver-dyed throne, nodded slightly when he heard the good news from the correspondent.
In fact, the second company was able to capture the enemy ship so quickly. Those plasma weapons from ancient times played a great role. Unfortunately, in order to keep it secret, Soshyan did not dare to use it by hand, so he could only buy equipment and materials to let them use it. Dietrian is manufactured secretly in Naison IV, so the production capacity is very low, and most of them are at the Second Company.
"Ustad did a good job. Ha, Huron has been a pirate all his life. I guess he didn't expect to be robbed three times in a row, right?"
Then Soshyan turned his head and smiled. He looked at Luko, who was wearing a gray burqa next to him.
"But I'm afraid Mark will be a little angry. After all, he is assigned to control the power and engine parts."
"Based on my understanding of the first company commander, he can understand."
"Yes. "
Nodding, Soshyan turned his gaze back to the bottom of the bridge.
“Now give orders to the Flash Squadron to go to the asteroid belt to conduct reconnaissance and confirm the battle between the Black Legion and the Imperial Navy.”
