Chapter 1133 Ending (Part 1)
Although he was unable to contact the Dark Angel in time, Soshyan immediately dispatched reinforcements to support and blocked the Black Legion's offensive in time.
What happened next began to tilt the war towards the Empire.
First of all, the Gray Knights lived up to their mission and closed the underground subspace rift in Attica. Especially the Gray Knights' Grand Master Diego, who killed twelve champions of the Black Legion by one person in a fierce battle. Abaddon was caught off guard.
The second is that the elite troops led by Abaddon were attacked by an unknown force on their way to attack the Dark Angel, but Soshyan did not know the specific details. All this came from high-altitude reconnaissance reports. , a Storm Crow patrolling over the battlefield happened to capture some pictures.
It was a group of warriors who also wore black armor and had flame patterns on their bodies. They numbered about two hundred people. The leader was a warrior wearing a Terminator.
That was the man who had a confrontation with Abaddon the Despoiler for about three minutes.
The whole scene only lasts two minutes, but many details in it make Soshyan very uneasy.
The first is the man wearing the Terminator. Its armor is strikingly similar to Abaddon's. The two seem to be mirror images. They also have an amber one-eye on their chests and a left hand. The terrifying claws, but the majestic magic sword Abaddon held, and the man held a huge war hammer.
And its helmet is shaped into a very unique three-headed evil dog.
When Talos saw this picture, he said directly.
“Isn’t this Horus?”
But then the prophet shook his head.
"That's not right, who is he?"
How can Soshyan answer this question? It is estimated that only Sevita can answer it.
In the picture, this man and Abaddon were tens of meters apart. The big predator seemed to be saying something and kept pointing his sword at each other.
Then the screen disappeared.
The reason was that the Storm Crow gunship had an engine failure for some unknown reason and had to find a place to make an emergency landing, so it was not possible to continue tracking.
But what Soshyan knew was that Abaddon retreated and gave up his plan to siege the Dark Angels.
All the troops of the Black Legion retreated underground.
This is a good thing for Soshyan. Although there will be many difficulties in attacking underground, it also means that the enemy loses room to move around.
As long as they work hard, they have a chance to completely crush the Black Legion and completely eliminate Abaddon!
But just as Soshyan was quickly planning the next offensive, bad news came -
The main fleet of the Black Legion is here!
The Spirit of Vengeance is also here!
Now all the empire's warships, including the fleets of the Astartes Chapter, are heading to the edge of the galaxy to fight the opponent. There are only the Dark Angels monolithic fortress and a few frigates in orbit, which are not convenient to move.
This undoubtedly sends a signal.
Abaddon is probably going to run away!
Realizing that they were racing against time, Soshyan did not make too many detailed plans and only roughly deployed all aspects of offensive forces.
And he has only one order for all imperial armed forces.
attack! attack! Attack at all costs!
Destroying the Black Legion and capturing Abaddon alive became everyone's slogan.
As always, Soshiyan personally led the war group into the underground attack, and the area they were responsible for was the passage where the Plague Marines used to handle. These Nurgle believers even built a huge temple underground.
This Plague Temple is a huge room made of black iron and rock. A large number of rotting corpses are hung in the dome, casting long and dark shadows on the bodies of the Astral Knights as they charge towards the corridor at the core of the underground passage. .
The heavy boots made a loud echo as they ran past the inoperable elevators and cranes to approach the enemy. Beside Soshyan, Talos and Mark, who had been injured and treated urgently, were also running. They were like two A group of extra shadows followed Soshyan closely.
Because the underground environment is relatively narrow and harsh, Soshyan did not let the nuns participate in the attack, but asked Velez to lead her sisters to continue cleaning up the remaining enemies on the ground. Likewise, this also allows him to focus more on his battles.
The rest of the Chapter were hidden by smoke and darkness, but Soshiyan could still hear the sounds of them running and fighting, the flashes of boltguns illuminating the dark surroundings.
Every breath he took smelled like stagnant water and blood.
This place is so corrupt that a continuous hum echoes from the mouths of the squirming corpses.
Here, zombies and cultists are everywhere, pushing and shoving like a tide.
Most of them are the original residents of Attica. Some of the leaders wear cloaks made of broken human skin, with bone spurs embedded in the skin.
But not everyone is like this.
In close combat, Soshyan also saw workers and tech-priests, but all their loyalties were ripped out of them and replaced by the corrupted destiny marks carved into their skin.
To survive, they make changes.
It's sad but inexcusable.
The sigh echoed in Soshyan's ears as he inserted his sword into the chest of a cultist. The traitor was wearing a red uniform, and all the patterns of gears and gauges that should have been painted on it were scratched out. Go ahead and sew on new, hateful patterns.
"Praise the loving father!"
The man roared, blood gushing from his blue cracked lips.
Soshyan drew his sword and let the body fall to the ground.
"Forward!"
He shouted into the communicator:
"In the name of the Emperor!"
On the battle line, every company roared , broke through the defense line of heresy.
The shout echoed in the rotten temple, full of lumps and nodules, and rushed to the top of the head.
Approximately four hundred Astartes and battle droids were scattered throughout the vast underground temple. Each one is fighting.
"It embraces us! It soothes us!"
In front of Soshiyan, a dozen plague warriors poured in from the door of the corridor. They are the guards of this place. , although the lord has died in battle, they still firmly defend this place.
The heretic quickly deployed a simple bunker and directed the mortals to set up the weapon sets.
The next moment, the bullet grazed the floor and Soshyan's head, the sound was like a winter storm.
"Clear a path, Mark."
Nothing is more suitable for attacking in narrow terrain than the Terminator. First company commander Mark quickly mobilized several veterans, who armed with melta guns, began to attack the corridor.
Exploding bullets dyed the air around him gold as Maximilian cleared a path to the gate and the heretics guarding it, and the floor beneath his feet cracked as the heavy Terminator passed by. .
He let out a cry of joy as he pulled the trigger on his storm bolter, reducing the nearest heretic to bloody smithereens.
Some mortals began to scream and then began to run away, but running away was of no use in front of these superhuman beings.
The Terminators ignited their melta weapons.
