Chapter 1204 Surrender
Silence filled the bridge of the Blood Curse. Technical Sergeant Frank glanced at the screen again, and then whispered:
"The Black Templar fleet has entered the range. , their weapons are being calibrated, and soon-"
Santo Joel raised his left hand, and the technical sergeant could only shut his mouth.
Then, the chapter leader walked towards the communication station.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Chapter Commander!"
Santo Joel turned around and saw that it was the first company commander. His entire face was now flushed, as if he was suffering from blood thirst.
“What is it, Cheri?”
“I will not surrender to anyone, and I will not let them take us somewhere to be judged. I would rather die fighting! I believe other brothers think so too, that’s what I think.”
Santo Joel withdrew his gaze and replied indifferently:
"I know."
Xerry looked at him, shook his head, turned and left.
Santo Joel walked to the communication desk, clicked the communication button, and then said:
"I am Santo Joel, the chapter leader of the Blood Knights, Soshyan A. Chapter Master Lexi, on behalf of the Chapter, I request the protection of the Alliance of Suffering. We are worthy of the Emperor and the blood of Sanguinius!"
After saying this call, it seemed that all the strength of the space warrior had been drained. He lowered his head and supported the communication station with both hands, looking as if he was about to collapse.
Soon, there was a response from Soshyan.
"Captain Santo Joel, I cannot grant you asylum on behalf of the Alliance, but I can temporarily accommodate you, provided that you must disarm and turn off your void shields and engines."
"I understand, we will do it."
Santo Joel finished weakly and looked at the technical sergeant
"Brother Frank, do as he says."
"Yes, Chapter Master!"
Soon, the Blood Curse shut down the void shield and engines, and at the same time all weapon arrays All were released from combat status.
At this time, the Black Templar fleet was approaching, and the main guns of the leading cruiser had begun to aim. As a result, the fleet of the Astral Knights suddenly inserted between their firepower and the Blood Curse.
"Star Knights! What are you going to do!"
Hearing the furious voice on the bridge, Soshyan, who was crossing his arms, smiled slightly and responded:
"I am Soshyan Alexei, the chapter leader of the Astral Knights, Black Saint My cousins, the Blood Knights have decided to surrender to us, and now I am preparing to board the ship and take them into custody."
After a few minutes of silence, the communicator came again.
"Soshiyang, are you the 'Grey Eagle' Soshiyang?"
This time the other party's voice was obviously much softer. After all, the reputation of the Astral Knight is there, and the same A sub-group of the Imperial Fists.
“Yes.”
“I am Marshal Austin of the Black Templars. I have heard of your name for a long time. Praise you in front of everyone as the best son of Dorne in the past thousand years."
"Marshal Austin is over-praised, but he is more lucky, more cautious, and the emperor is more favored."
"But you were not careful in this matter, Chapter Commander Soshiyang. The Blood Knight was the prey we wounded, but you picked it up when it was dying. Isn't it unjustifiable to rob it halfway?" "
"Marshal Austin, I don't quite understand what you are saying. What do you mean by prey? They are also an Astartes war group and they don't seem to be the target of our hunting."
< br>
"Captain Soshiyan, there is something in your words."
"In this way, your fleet will stop at the Scar of Victory first. After I take the Blood Knight into custody, I will go to your battleship to give you an explanation. How? ?”
The communicator was silent for a long time, and finally Austin responded.
“Okay, I’ll give the Star Knight this face.”
“Thank you.”
Soon, the Black Templar fleet released its fire preparations and left the current area for the Scar of Victory, while Soshyan took the Thunder Eagle and entered the Blood Curse with the No. 100 Terminator. The flight deck was empty, so Soshyan walked directly towards the bridge. None of the servants stopped him along the way, and they all looked nervous.
It was not until he entered the bridge that Soshiyan saw the real Blood Knight.
A total of 212 Blood Knights stood on the bridge deck. Their power armor was red and silver. The shoulder armor badges were more complicated, a white shield with blood and tears, and below it were two black crossed swords. .
Standing at the front of the team is a warrior with short blond hair and a tough face. At this time, he looks bleak. He is holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and holding his helmet with the other. The same goes for the soldiers behind them, several of them holding high battle flags.
When the neat footsteps of a hundred cavalry Terminators resounded like thunder through the bridge, Santo Joel's eyes became even darker.
Wearing gorgeous fine power armor but not wearing a helmet, Soshyan stepped forward, looked at Santo Joel, and said:
"I am the chapter leader of the Astral Knights. Soshyan Alexei. "
"Nice to meet you, I am Santo Joel, the leader of the Blood Knights."
Soshyan then extended his right hand. Said:
"Then, hand over your sword."
Santo Joel did not respond, but used his thumb to fiddle with the chain saw blade hanging on his hip, two fingers wide of fine gold in the dark light Lightly shiny.
Even if obscured by the darkness on the wide deck, this action is very conspicuous.
Soshyan nodded, he understood.
Honor is the life of an Astartes, and surrender without a fight is unacceptable to any Astartes.
Soshyan took off his cloak and drew the Holy Flame Sword from his waist, but did not activate the force field.
Santo Joel drew his chainsword, showed the spikes on the weapon's serrations, and then took off his weapon belt.
Both will fight blade to blade, with no off-hand weapons.
Then he turned around and stayed for a while, handed his decorations to the waiting company commander Xie Li, and stopped Xie Li's next words.
“After I die, you will take over as the chapter leader and lead everyone to survive.”
With that, Santo Joel turned around and the duel began.
The Chapter Leader of the Blood Knights rushed forward first and chopped off Soshyan's head severely. If Soshyan had not stepped aside at the last moment, he would have been directly hit by this blow. Divided into two.
But what happened next was shocking. After Soshiyang dodged this move, he hit Santo Joel's weapon with a sword, causing the opponent to lose his balance. Then Soshiyang let out a burst of The quick and hard blow forced Santo Joel into a hasty defense.
The last blow, also the most violent blow, hit Santo Joel and fell to one knee.
Before the opponent raised his weapon to block, Soshyan hit Santo Joel on the head with an old punch, knocking the warrior directly to the ground.
Everything happened within ten seconds.
Of course Soshiyan was not arrogant enough to think that he was so powerful. He had already felt that Santo Joel was heartbroken. The former Lord of Blood had no fighting spirit.
"...Kill me, take my sword and let it go"
Santo Joel spat out a few words from his mouth full of blood.
"I'm very dissatisfied. This duel is not over yet. You keep your sword, and so do others. We will fight again."
Soshyan looked down at Santo Joel with a serious expression.
“But you must hand over other weapons, leave this ship, and accept our care.”
Santo Joel stood up silently and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
“Understood.”
