Chapter 1730 Blade Breaker
This is the first time Soshiyang has been on the battleship of the Gray Knights. Previously, most of the battles on Paiwei Star took place on the ground, so Soshiyang and the Gray Knights Contact is limited to communications only.
But this time is different from Pai Shang. That is that he is only part of the many imperial troops participating in the war. Now he is the commander of all imperial armed forces in the Maelstrom. If the Gray Knights still fight with Pai Shang It is absolutely not allowed for Xingshi to take matters into his own hands like that.
After the Storm Bird stopped, Soshyan walked out under the escort of the Terminators, but only a few sluggish servitors were waiting outside.
“Please follow me.”
After saying a word, the servitors turned around and started moving. Maximilian immediately roared:
"These bastards are so arrogant!"
Soshyan raised his hand slightly.
"It's okay, let's go."
As a strike cruiser, this battleship named Fire of Dawn is much larger than a conventional cruiser, as huge as a monastery.
Various religious decorations and inscriptions can be seen everywhere inside, but Soshyan noticed that the occasional crew members looked dull. If it weren't for the fact that there were almost no modifications on them, he would almost think that they were all servitors.
Afterwards, he realized that the entire crew of the ship may have been subject to some kind of mind control.
This sounds quite incredible, but considering the mystery and responsibilities of the Gray Knights, it seems logical.
As the bronze door slowly opened, Soshyan stepped into the bridge of the Dawn Fire.
The space of this bridge is unusually large. The polished and shiny metal walls are engraved with exquisite spiral lines, just like gorgeous picture frames, which vividly form a series of magnificent murals. Monitors surrounded it, and consoles lined the walls, each manned by an emotionless, silent crew member.
What Soshyan didn't know was that these crew members were actually provided by the Heretic Tribunal for the Gray Knights - each crew member had a mental trigger implanted in their brains through hypnosis surgery, and as long as the Gray Knights gave the order, they would Erase all brain functions of the host.
In this way, the Inquisition ensured that if any crew members were infected by Chaos, they would be reduced to drooling idiots before attempting to seize control of the Dawnfire, and the crew knew this. , that’s why he appears to be indifferent, never deals with the Gray Knights, and rotates them regularly.
The location Soshyan is in is the hall above the bridge. It is enough for hundreds of Astartes to stand, and now the entire Brotherhood has gathered.
The White Scar Juba Khan once informed Soshyan about the organizational structure of the Gray Knights, so through the huge logo imprinted on the dome, Soshyan probably knew that the one coming to help was the Eighth Brotherhood of the Gray Knights.
The Eighth Brotherhood of the Gray Knights is also called the Silver Blade. It is similar to the Tenth Company of the Codex Regiment. Recruits who have just joined the Gray Knights are usually included in the Eighth Brotherhood. After completing their own After training, they will generally join other brotherhoods based on their talents, and some will continue to stay in the Eighth Brotherhood. Those warriors who choose to stay will undergo the initiation ceremony again and again in order to improve their martial arts.
Because they have no specific expertise, the warriors of the Eighth Brotherhood are to a certain extent the most flexible and versatile in the entire Chapter, able to quickly change tactics during battle. They are proficient in all available weapons and have knowledge of various strategies and tactics. Master the perfection.
On the other hand, the Grand Master of the Eighth Brotherhood is also responsible for the recruitment of new recruits for the Chapter, paying attention to those psykers with very strong wills and pure souls during the battle.
So seeing that it was this brotherhood, Soshiyang had some guesses in his mind. The Gray Knights may not only be here to help in the battle, but also have plans to recruit new recruits. After all, the Maelstrom is a stable subspace rift. , its psyker population is far higher than in most areas of the Imperium.
The knitted battle flags and medals hung high on the dome are the great achievements of the Eighth Brotherhood in the long history.
The entire 115 warriors of the Eighth Brotherhood gathered here, wearing silver-white power armor, and some were wearing gorgeous Terminator armor. They stood under the marble pillars on both sides of the red carpet, such as Like a knight standing guard, the huge armor made a buzzing sound, and the crystal power halberds in his hands lit up as the Astral Knights and the group entered.
At the end of the carpet is a throne, belonging to the Grand Master of the Eighth Brotherhood, but the other party is not arrogant enough to wait for Soshyan there.
He was already standing in the middle of the carpet, also wearing a Terminator, without a helmet, and behind him was a white cape. In addition to him, Soshyan also saw the Grand Judgment wearing force feedback power armor. Captain Torquemada Cortez, and another unique Gray Knight.
Why is it unique?
First of all, the power emanating from the opponent's body, according to Soshyan's perception, is no less than that of psychic masters like Kayon and Ezekiel, and is more pure and blazing.
The second thing is the opponent's face. Half of it is made of metal, which makes him look more like some highly modified technical sergeant. At the same time, his eyes were always looking at Soshyan without any emotion.
"Welcome, Commander Soshyan Alexey, Supreme Lord."
A loud voice sounded, and the Terminator queue behind Soshyan also stopped at the same time, holding the gun in his hand. The battle group flag then fluttered slightly.
Soshiyang strode forward and shook hands with the other party.
"I am Aidan Pedron, Commander of the Recruiting Knights of the Eighth Brotherhood."
"Hello, Grand Master Aidan Pedron, I fought side by side with your Seventh Brotherhood on the Death Star to fight against the enemy. This time, I am honored to be able to fight together with the Gray Knights again. I am extremely happy in my heart. ”
When the two let go of their hands, Aidan Pedron smiled slightly.
“I heard from the returning Seventh Brotherhood that Grand Master Diego gave you a very high evaluation, which shows that you are of immeasurable value to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, so as the White Scar When the request for help was sent to the fortress, we made a decision quickly."
As he spoke, he looked at the Grand Inquisitor aside.
"I guess you two know each other, so I don't need any further introduction."
Soshyan also smiled.
"Grand Inquisitor Torquemada, I am quite surprised that you are here."
Torquemada calmly replied:
"For Gray The knights providing intelligence support is also part of the work of the Tribunal."
At this time, Aidan Pedron turned to the mysterious warrior and introduced.
"This one is not from our association. When deciding to respond to the White Scars' request, the Divination Chamber foresaw a terrible demon that would pose a serious threat to the expedition and therefore sent a brother to assist us in fighting this demon. He is an expert among experts, He was also called the Blade Breaker by the Space Wolves. "
The demon Soshyan didn't take it seriously, but this mysterious prophet made him very curious.
"Oh? Bladebreaker?"
At this time, the mysterious warrior stretched out his hand to Soshiyang.
"Nice to meet you, Commander Soshyan Alexey, Supreme Lord. I heard that you fought at Armageddon."
Soshyan immediately held the other person's hand.
“Yes, it was a war against the Greenskins.”
“I fought there too, but against a Daemon Primarch.”
< br>"The First War of Armageddon? That was hundreds of years ago. How should I call you?"
A stream of psychic energy flashed across the other party's cold metal face, Then he whispered:
"My name is Hyperion."
