Chapter 1066 Enemies Meet
Time goes back to five hours ago——
Fortress No. 7 has been completely torn apart by the flames of war. All the original buildings have been destroyed, leaving only temporary Stacked roadblocks.
"No forgiveness!! Never retreat!"
Deathwing Master Belial roared, the storm bolter in his hand roared, and the enemy was in the torrent of bombs and explosions. He fell to the ground.
The battle was brutally brief, but the peace that followed was fleeting as more hungry enemies gathered towards the Dark Angels.
Belial led the squad through the arch and into the courtyard behind, firing with his bolter as the remaining Black Legion heretics were drawn to the battle like moths to a flame, howling for Bloodshed and death.
For this attack, the Dark Angels paid a heavy price. The enemy ambushed in the ruins and deployed crossfire, which greatly interfered with the Angels' attack.
In the roofless church, in the pale light and shadow, in the destroyed quadrangle, Beria directed his troops, looking for open space, knowing that in the event of close contact , the Deathwing Terminators will be able to crush their enemies.
Building after building, street after street, they advanced towards the enemy, stopping to fire when they might encounter an ambush, and once the enemy was driven out of their bunkers, they immediately stepped forward to launch an attack.
"We have pulled out their sting, brother!"
The adjutant, who is also a Deathwing veteran, said. His observation was correct. Their team almost occupied the fortress at the edge of the church ruins. central location.
“Send a signal to the Supreme Master to shrink the encirclement.”
As soon as Beria finished these words, tears of fire suddenly fell from the sky, and landing capsules began to land one after another. Around the fortress.
Soon, another army appeared in the darkness.
Walking in front of them was a beast-like warrior, his scarlet armor decorated with spiked chains, with trophy skulls hanging on the chains, which made a clanging sound when shaken, holding a huge chain ax with teeth in his hands. Glittering in the pale light.
Kranon the Merciless, the Dark Angels' worst enemy in the forty-first millennium.
"Get out, you bastards of the First Legion!!!"
Kranon roared and ran, and behind him, the Crimson Slayers howled to their war. The gods paid homage and followed their lord in the charge.
There is no reason why the Heartless are so agitated. In fact, his hatred for the Dark Angels far exceeds that of any other Chapter.
The relationship between the Crimson Slayer and the Dark Angel dates back to the days of the Crimson Saber, and Kranon himself took their feud to an extreme.
After the Chapter was cursed, Kranon has been trying to get in touch with the curse. He began to set his sights on an illusory Chaos artifact, and based on the clues, he found a desolate asteroid.
When he landed on the asteroid, he saw the remains of some alien buildings. This was once an outpost of some kind of alien, but it was unclear who it was.
The landing team wandered among the ruins. After turning a corner, they found two people arguing.
It was the Astartes in power armor, one of them still wearing robes. Although they were shocked to see the intruder in such a desolate place, both strangers drew their weapons. Fire with incredible speed and accuracy.
The battle was short. After losing five Terminators, Kranon captured an enemy in black armor alive, while another warrior in robes disappeared into the void after causing a large number of casualties with his twin guns. middle. After returning to the fleet, Kranon handed the prisoner to the wizard Manon for interrogation, and unexpectedly discovered a secret that had been buried for thousands of years!
After psychic infiltration and other powerful methods caused the prisoner to collapse, the prisoner confessed that his name was Turiel and that he had been a Dark Angel during the Great Crusade. As for his escaped accomplices , Turiel refused to say more, they only knew that the man in the robe came here not long before the Scarlet Slayer, because he had a premonition of danger, so he asked Turiel to escape.
Turiel was seemingly immortal and spent his long life traveling across the galaxy, fighting as a mercenary and even working with other traitors outside of the Eye of Terror.
However, he has repented of his actions and is living a lonely life on the far edge of the galaxy, seeking redemption.
Kranon was furious at this incident. Due to a misunderstanding, his chapter had been expelled from the Adeptus Astartes, but the Imperium highly praised the ancient evil legions, and their traitors were full of Horus. Among the Astartes who turned against the Emperor during the Heresy!
Why!
Why should they suffer excommunication and trial just for their radical behavior!
Why can these dark angels hide their secrets for ten thousand years!
The image of the Dark Angels has become uglier than ever in Kranon's mind. They are a group of hypocrites, a group of warriors who have lost their morality and honor, and such a group of people openly accuse them of being traitors!
So he made up his mind to take revenge on these hypocrites, hoping that his first appearance would be something the Dark Angels would never forget.
When a small team rushed to the city of fallen angels mentioned by Turiel, Kranon also prepared a series of traps. He found what he wanted in the newly established church world, named For "Stern Memorial Hall"
Without any warning, the Crimson Slayer attacked the Stern Memorial Hall with savage brutality, leaving the residents with nowhere to escape and being run over by Demonic Engines and Hellbeasts Every street tramples the creatures underfoot to death.
Thousands of church bells rang, but their bells did not help those doomed to die. A handful of Honor Guards launched a limited defense, but they could not slow down the Scarlet Slayer. Only when the last inhabitants of the planet died did the traitors begin the next phase of their offensive - piling the bodies into the church.
The bodies of the dead were piled up to the huge vaulted ceiling, like a grim chalice.
After everything was ready, Kranon ordered his wizard to send a message to the Dark Angels - a warp message. Not only did he send a map to the monolith, he also wrote the name of a fallen angel on it, which could be used in the warp. Found there at Turn Memorial Hall.
In the process, he did not forget to laugh at the dirty secret of the Dark Angel.
At Stern Memorial Hall, Kranon deliberately left a guard alive and told him the past hidden by the Dark Angel.
The Crimson Slayer set a trap, then left the deserted planet and returned to the subspace to await the arrival of the enemy.
The Dark Angels' strike cruiser Caliban's Pride quickly arrived and cautiously approached orbit. Two Thunderhawks swooped down to allow the Space Marines of the Fifth Company to land.
Kranon gave them a moment to take in the horror the Butcher had left behind, before a swarm of drop pods quickly penetrated the atmosphere and the war began.
The Dark Angels were surrounded before they had time to escape.
The Fifth Company's numbers and ferocity could not compete with the traitors, and they were forced to retreat, struggling through the narrow streets.
Although subsequent Dark Angels support arrived in time and retook the fallen city known as "Attias Untamed", the Dark Angels lost many warriors, including the 5th Company. Company Commander Zadakir.
The hatred between the two sides has become endless at this point.
