Chapter 1203 The Sorrow of Angels


Chapter 1203 The Sorrow of Angels

“A signal?”

Soshiyang hurried to the Scar of Victory Fortress and received first-hand information that a strange warship passed through Asia. The space jump has entered the galaxy and is approaching Nessen 4.

Through the keel identification code, the fortress's detection personnel determined that this was an Astartes battle barge, but there was no response to the response signal sent to the other party.

As a result, the fortress immediately entered combat mode, including the warships stationed inside.

Soshyan and Mazhar were checking the analysis report in the strategy room. On the observation platform on the other side, there was a dome protruding from the hull. A brass-wrapped telescope protruded from the dome of the observatory. Inscribed with precise and perfect prayers.

Through this thing, Soshyan can directly see distant scenes.

After the technical priests finished whispering prayers to the machine spirit of the telescope, Soshyan walked over and looked at the eyepiece.

Various objects with strange readings hovered in front of him, glowing dimly in the reflection of a distant star.

Then, he saw a battleship, a battleship with the main colors of red and gold. Its bow bore the Astartes Death Angel logo, which meant that it should not be a battleship. Chaos battleship.

However, its current situation did not seem to be good. The hull had many visible damages, and the engine seemed to be about to burn out

So Soshyan turned his head and looked at the officers on the operating array.

“Is it still moving now?”

“It’s still moving, sir, but at a very slow speed.”

“Can we tell if it’s damaged at this time? How serious is it?”

"Sir, it is at least Level VI damage, because we have just discovered traces of plasma leakage, which means that its reactor has been severely damaged and may even explode."

Sosh Yang frowned slightly, if this was an Adeptus Astartes warship, then he couldn't just ignore it.

"The current accurate position?"

"It has been determined, the coordinates are 2-11-M21"

But Mazar next to Soshyan has been reading the report. Then he walked to the telescope and observed it for a while, and finally made a surprised sound.

"It turns out to be them!"

Soshyan turned his head.

"Lord Magyar, do you know this ship? Why haven't they responded?"

Magyar sneered and said:

"Because they dare not respond. ”

"Don't dare?"

"Although they erased the mark, the Chapter fought alongside these guys many years ago, and some of the characteristics of this ship are still recorded in the Chapter's files. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the flagship of the Blood Knights Chapter, the Blood Curse.”

“Blood Knights!”

When I heard that it was this war group that was declared a traitor, Soshyan was also very surprised.

At this moment, the Lord of Detection suddenly said loudly:

"Report! The subspace auspicious device has detected unusual fluctuations again! It is speculated that a fleet is jumping out!"

"Let me take a look!"

Soshyan walked to the telescope, and then Said to the technical priest:

"Adjust to the position of the jump point."

The technical priest then raised his left index finger, and a data probe protruded from the fingertip, and then he Plug it into the socket on the side of the data box and connect it to the dual sensor.

The telescope then rotates around the clockwork gear, focusing in another direction.

When the tech-priest retracted the probe, Soshyan looked into the eyepiece.

I saw a hole being torn open in the void, and then several frigates jumped out quickly and agilely, followed by a huge strike cruiser and a smaller destroyer.

Although there was so much distance, thanks to the ultra-long viewing distance of the telescope, Soshyan still saw the conspicuous black cross mark on the cruiser. "It's the Black Templar."

As Soshyan said, he looked at the destroyer and found the symbol of the Tribunal on it.

"There is also the Inquisition."

Lord Magyar immediately made a judgment.

“They are chasing the Blood Knight.”

Soshiyan left the telescope, and then thought of another possibility.

"And the Blood Knights seem to be planning to ask for help from us."

"Why?"

"Otherwise they will never leave the subspace here and keep moving here. After all, we know them They will also open fire after their identity. This is undoubtedly suicide. The only possibility is that they hope that we will let them go."

Mazhar snorted.

“It’s a beautiful thought.”

Then he looked at Soshyan.

"Then what are you going to do now? Watch the Black Templar kill them, or should we go out and kill them first."

Soshiyang suddenly asked a Mazar, which seemed a little bit Strange question.

"Lord Magyar, what do you think of the Blood Knights?"

"You ask me? I have never dealt with them, but I have dealt with the Flesh Tearers and that Seth I have had several contacts, how can I put it? Those people were really savage and ferocious when they fought. They were not at all like the elegant descendants of Sanguinius recorded in history. And you also know Red Thirst. I have witnessed the tearing of flesh with my own eyes. When a warrior suffers from red thirst, it is really scary. He is no longer an Astartes, but a beast, a beast that has completely lost his mind."

"But it sounds like you don't hate them very much from your tone?"

Mazhar sighed softly.

“Well, how should I put it, the defect of the gene seed is not their fault. Seth and his people are indeed savage, but they are absolutely reliable when fighting. They will definitely complete the goal regardless of the cost. Everyone has an almost suicidal determination, yes, you are right, I don’t hate them very much, maybe they are no longer noble, but their loyalty is unquestionable.”

After listening, Soshiyang said. He fell into silence, crossed his arms and took two steps back and forth.

After about half a minute, he turned to the officer in charge of the dock.

"Prepare to release the magnetic lock of the Eternal Loyalty."

"Yes, sir!"

Lord Magyar looked at him and asked:

"It seems you have Decided?”

Soshyan nodded.

"No matter what happens to the Blood Knights now, their blood cannot be spilled in front of us or in our houses. Not only will the Lamenters be embarrassed among their cousins, but other Blood Angel Chapters will also be embarrassed. Therefore, I cannot explain to Lord Dante that this matter cannot be solved by violence."

"It depends on your performance. After all, I am not good at diplomacy and mediation."

Soon, the Eternal Loyalty left the dock at the Trace of Victory, along with three cruisers.

This small but powerful fleet quickly ran towards the Blood Curse, which was about to be bitten by the Black Templar fleet. At the same time, Soshiyang sent a message to the Blood Curse.

“. Blood Knights, I am Soshyan Alexey, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights. I don’t know why you are here, but I guess you are here to seek asylum. If you want To get a decent result, respond immediately and disarm the ship."

This communication echoed on the bridge of the Blood Curse. Santo Joel subconsciously clenched his fists. Frank on the side looked at his chapter leader. He originally planned to contact the Scar of Victory as soon as he entered the physical universe. , but Santo Joel stopped him.

Perhaps it was the last bit of pride left in his heart that prevented the Lord of Blood Knights from begging for help from others.
