Chapter 930 Past Events of Pai Shang Star
". Some people say that when the earliest people discovered Pai Shang Star, it could not even be illuminated by the Emperor's light. There was a black sun hanging in its sky. The jungle of Heretic Sun is also very different from the jungle of Catachan. The rain falling in it seems to never evaporate and is enough to soak people's bone marrow. The air is always filled with a strange smell. For me personally, this is A strange land."
After listening to Stryker's account, Soshyan rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then asked:
"Colonel Stryker, are you in the platoon. Have you heard any legends about Sorrow Star in the past few years? For example, the past of Sorrow Star, or the history of the era before colonization."
Strike thought for a while, and then said with an uncertain tone. Answer:
"I usually don't care about these nonsense, because most of them are fairy tales, but when I was at the Olympia Mountain camp, I heard a rumor from an old man."
" What is it? "
"The first group of colonists to come to Pai Shang were a group of miners. They landed in the mountains, then established an explorer fortress and dug down. A group of them dug into the mountains. Deep down, we encountered some kind of caveman tribe."
"Caveman?"
"No one can tell what they are, but they seem to be human beings. The old man is drunk. , I was talking dizzy, and I drank a little at that time.”
"Understood, please continue."
"Speaking of, ah, cavemen, those miners discovered a certain tribe that existed underground, those strange guys, both feared the miners and hated them. According to them He said that their history existed as early as when the Emperor conquered this world. They called the miners the dogs of Horus and attacked the fortress. Later."
"What happened next?"< br>
“The colonists couldn’t bear it, so they organized forces to eliminate most of them, and found some damaged technological artifacts and files recorded in High Gothic in their tribes. Obviously I guess They are not a simple primitive tribe."
Soshiyang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What happened to those files later?"
"Well, I guess they were collected into a museum? I don't know the details. The old man just said that the files recorded a guy's crazy words. His name seems to be Kraft, and it only briefly mentions one thing, which is that there is a door beyond
reality and reason in a place called the Cora Pit.”
"Kola Pit, is there such a place on Pai Mao?"
"Yes, it is near the foothills of Olympia, but it is not a pit, but a very huge natural cave between the mountains. , it is said that the deepest point is tens of thousands of meters, but many places are submerged by groundwater. In the past, people who had enough to eat and nothing to do often went exploring and found nothing special
place. "
Soshyan looked sideways at Randall, who was also looking at him. Both of them realized that this might be the place they were looking for.
"Thank you very much Shi Colonel Trek for your assistance. "
"My lord. ”
Suddenly, Stryker’s expression became serious. He adjusted his collar, and then pulled out a short staff with a double-headed eagle emblem from his waist. This is the former planet. The Governor had someone bring it to him as a symbol of the Governor of the Death Star
Soshyan immediately realized what the other party was going to do.
"Chapter Commander Soshyan Alexei, I hereby hand over to you the command of all the defense forces of Pai Mao until the next planetary governor arrives!"
So Shi Yang looked at Stryker, remained silent for a few seconds, and then asked softly:
"Why, Colonel Stryker? You did a good job, and no one is more suitable than you."
"I know myself. My command is not to say a mess, but at least it is as bad as shit. It is a mistake for me to be in this position. I am more suitable for leading the troops to fight on the front line. I also hope that you can give me and Opportunities like this for my people.”
Once most people have tasted the taste of power, they will be unable to stop, but Stryker regarded it as a mistake, and Soshyan rated him a little higher.
"Understood, then I will take over this responsibility."
Soshyan stretched out his hand and took the short staff. "You and your warriors need some time to rest. I promise you will return to the battlefield and return to Attica."
Stryker's rock-like face was revealed A big smile.
"That's good, I haven't killed enough Space Marines yet."
The next second, he realized that he was on an Astartes ship, so he tensed up and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. .
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's a Chaos Space Marine."
"It's nothing. I heard that you killed many traitors? This is a feat that ordinary people cannot achieve. After the war, we will Send a report to the Ministry of Military Affairs to prove the merits of you and your soldiers.”
“This is no trouble. The Ministry of Military Affairs just issues a few more medals.”
While the two were talking, Luko hurried into the bridge, holding a data pad in his hand.
"Chapter Commander, the results have been released."
Soshiyang took the data pad, glanced at the things on it, and his face became slightly solemn.
Stryker watched from the sidelines. Although he was very curious, he did not ask. Many things on the battlefield were confidential. He had already resigned from the post of governor, so he still had this consciousness.
Soshiyan then handed the data pad to Randall and said to Stryker:
"The naval battle will determine the outcome."
"A naval battle?"
Stryker looked confused.
“The decisive battle between the main force of the Imperial Navy and the main force of the Black Legion fleet ended with a complete victory for the Empire, but——”
It was Star Boundary who sent the first-hand information Lothar is the fourth captain of the Knights Chapter and the master of the fleet.
It turned out that just when the main force of the fleet led by Admiral Kalanswo was entangled by the Black Legion fleet and was in danger, the Astral Knight fleet led by Lothar and the Navy's [Reliable Loyal Servant] dictator-class cruiser arrived on the battlefield in time.
Lotha's ship was the former Soul Drinker's flagship, the battle barge Soulbringer, and it brought six frigates, plus the carrier-based aircraft formation of the Reliable Servant, which quickly changed the battlefield situation.
Black Legion Fleet Commander Iongra Speer had to mobilize his forces to deal with the new enemy, so when the surviving attack aircraft returned to the Revenge, the flagship finally got a breather, in the net of escort ships Under the protection, they distanced themselves from the Chaos Fleet.
At this time, for Admiral Kalanswo, victory seems to be close at hand. As long as he is given more time to take off all the torpedo aircraft formations, he can launch a fatal blow to the enemy's flagship.
But he didn’t know that it was not just his side that had reinforcements.
Just as the Revenge was scrambling to take off the torpedo plane formation, inconspicuously behind the Imperial fleet, the Heart of Hate, a Slayer-class cruiser, ignited its iconic huge engine and rushed towards the Imperial fleet from the flank with all its strength.
More importantly, this cruiser magically dragged an asteroid fragment behind it.
The purpose of this strange action was revealed after approaching the Vengeance. The interior of this huge rock is hollow, hiding the Thousand Sons wizards and the red pirate gang equipped with the Deathclaw boarding bay.
When close enough to the Vengeance, the Hateful Heart unleashed an asteroid that crashed into the Imperial formation, forcing the smaller ships to get out of the way.
After reaching a close enough distance, the capture beam emitted from the interior of the asteroid fragment pulled the Imperial flagship, and a psychic attack released by the chanting Thousand Sons Wizard Order destroyed the shield and also paralyzed it. Most of the short-range defense artillery.
As soon as the Revenge's shield disappeared, dozens of attack cabins were launched at the defenseless ship at the same time, and soon a boarding battle broke out in the ship's corridors and landing bays.
The red pirates who boarded the ship soon spread all over the ship. At the same time, the Thousand Sons wizards also opened an unstable temporary subspace portal. The demons that poured out were full of revenge in a short time. No. 1, the flagship was almost swallowed up by the fierce battle.
