Chapter 1067 Escape
“How could it be them!!”
Seeing the Scarlet Slayer appear, the Deathwing Master Belial was shocked.
And what the other party said next made him even more frightened!
"Bastards of the First Legion! Come out and fight to the death! Otherwise I will tell everyone on the planet your secret using a loudspeaker that has never been seen before!!!!!!!"
In an instant, all the hairs on Beria's body stood on end.
He quickly connected to the secret communication of the battle group and reported the situation.
"The madman Kranon is here!! We must destroy him immediately!"
The interrogation priest Azmodai also howled in the channel as if the doomsday was coming.
"Kill him! Immediately! Immediately! Kill him!! Let this bastard shut his mouth!!!"
Azrael was silent for a while and then made a sound.
"Beria, hold him, I will bring people over right away."
The Dark Angels opened fire, firing at the approaching enemy.
Kranon ignored the blasts on his armor and galloped through the storm without stopping, then leapt up and decapitated a Deathwing with the first blow of his axe, then returned. With one blow of his hand, the chest of the other dark angel who was swinging his sword at him was bloody and the armor was shattered.
“Keep shooting!”
Beria roared and jumped forward to meet the attack, but was too late to save the third brother, so the other man's torso was split open from the waist to the shoulders.
Remorseful, Beria decided that if he could survive, he would atone for his slowness.
"Belia! Come on!"
Kranon turned to meet the Deathwing Grand Master's counterattack as Belial's bullets exploded against his armor.
Belia raised his Silent Sword, one of the legendary Swords of Heaven, and prepared to strike.
When the traitor swept the blade towards the Dark Angel's throat, Belial blocked it with the gun on his arm, and then stabbed the weapon in his hand.
The legendary power sword bit into the armor, making a harsh sound, gnawing at the left shoulder of the Crimson Slayer.
Then Beria roared angrily, slashed his sword diagonally, and beheaded the enemy directly. When blood spurted out from his neck, the Heartless One had already rushed in front of him, swung his right arm violently, and used The butt of the weapon slammed into Beria's head.
Instinctively, the Grand Master raised his sword to block the next blow.
When the sword blade and chain blade met, sharp metal fragments rained down around him——
At the same time, the Ravenwing Grand Master Samuel, who was responsible for intercepting fish that slipped through the fortress, also encountered an unexpected situation. The communication network was overwhelmingly reporting enemy warnings, and every measured and brief message was covered up. The chaos that suddenly engulfs the Ravenwing, and the underlying panic is felt in its entirety rather than in its individual parts.
Samuel understood the shock in these voices very well, and the same sense of confusion and unreality spread in his mind as artillery fire and missiles screamed at the Black Knights from hidden bunkers.
"Heavily armed enemies, moving west through the forest."
"Concentrating firepower from the ground and above! Where are they coming from?"
"Damn! I I swear I saw one..."
A motorcycle was only a few meters away from Samuel. An explosion burned the combat motorcycle into a roller composed of superheated steam and molten pottery. Samuel swerved to avoid the expanding cloud of gas and atoms. chemical substance and realize it is a multi-melta attack.
His loud warning voice was lost in the din.
"Armored vehicles, ancient Legion models, have broken through the buildings on our flanks."
"Traitors are everywhere, O Emperor! The rebels have launched a massive attack by regrouping. Counterattack!" "Reinforcements! We need reinforcements!"
"Heavy armored units are entering at nine o'clock. Urgent request for air strikes! Where is the air cover!?"
"Two Land Speeders were destroyed! Request pharmacists to retrieve survivors! The enemy is advancing and urgently needed Back up."
Samuel caught a glimpse of color ahead, huge objects moving through the rubble flattened by orbital bombardment, the surrounding defenses showing clearly in the servitor scans.
The Ravenwing Grand Master checked his vehicle again, and although artillery fire was rolling in from the direction where it should have been empty, it still found no enemy.
“It seems to be some kind of mask.”
He said something, but no one seemed to be listening.
Every Crowwing Knight is focused on fighting against the enemy, dodging various explosions, roaring heavy bombs and dazzling ruby beams of lasers.
Samuel turned his bike towards the last threat, firing a volley of bullets from its plasma claw into the firing pit where the heavy weapons were housed.
Just then, he saw something that made him pause for a moment.
The laser cannon was not the tripod-mounted secondary weapon he had expected, carried on the shoulders of a warrior in power armor, dwarfing the poorly armored rebels.
A traitor.
Samuel did not recognize his enemy from the black power armor he wore, but when the enemy Space Marine turned his laser cannon, the yellow and black mark on his shoulder showed his former loyalty—— Traitor to the Word Bearers Legion.
There were other giants around him, more giants in red armor, and some in black armor, rushing towards the area where Ravenwing was.
Those guys in scarlet power armor, the Red Pirates, Samuel recognized these bastards immediately.
They are the ones who made everything messy!
"All vanguard squadrons retreat! Exit immediately and do not get caught in a prolonged battle."
There is no doubt that the Ravenwing is not suitable for confrontation with the enemy in defensive operations, especially enemies with superior numbers.
He had to admit that the enemy's choice of attack direction was very clever.
What's more important is that they don't get any support. The Supreme Master has mobilized all his forces to encircle Kranon. Samuel immediately realized that this would let go of the enemy who had been beaten to death.
But he couldn't refute it. The secret of the war group was the most important.
The Ravenwing began to retreat, followed by the gunfire of the Traitor Space Marines, and they accelerated, Samuel's soul heavy with the thought of defeat.
Soon, things evolved into a situation that everyone least expected to see. The rebels rushed into the fortress and picked up the Chaos Lord, Erquessos, who had been surrounded for months. When he was taken away, there were less than thirty people left with him.
Azrael’s plan to besiege Kranon was completely aborted due to the emergence of the Black Legion and the Red Corsairs. After ridiculing the Dark Angels, Kranon laughed and led the team to retreat. .
Despite the continued pursuit and aerial strikes by the Empire, the Chaos side completely withdrew from the battlefield through secret underground passages.
When Soshyan and Azrael met in the ruins of Fortress No. 7, both of them were speechless and choked.
Soshyan doesn't blame the Dark Angels for their offensive woes.
Azrael did not blame the Astral Knights for not providing timely support.
Because failure is failure, and the ultimate bitter fruit can only be swallowed by commanders like them.
