Chapter 1977 The Blind King of the Labyrinth

Sitting on the bench of the Stormbird transport module, the swaying and impact of the gunship as it landed in the atmosphere was barely felt due to the Terminator's armored joints being locked in place. Outside the armored window opposite, the sky seemed to be on fire, covered in a swath of orange and yellow, as the Space Marines seemed to be riding plasma rushing out of the upper atmosphere.

When the darkness of the near universe turned into the cyan color of thicker gas, "King of the Labyrinth" Asterion Moro drew his attention to the spear he kept in his hand, around him, The other Minotaur warriors also sat quietly.

Although the servitors had already performed three preparation rituals before boarding the Storm Bird, Asterion Moro still checked the weapons in his hands and used the automatic sensing magnifying glass to look for possible From small pieces of impurities suspended in the air.

Finally, he was sure that his weapon was clean.

He didn't expect a fight to follow, but he was never unprepared for a hostile encounter.

Asterion knew that Soshyan Alexei had strong hostility towards him. He seemed to be able to feel it from the moment the opponent's fleet jumped out of the subspace node. He guessed that the opponent You should also understand the meaning of what you represent.

"Envoy Feisal must be in trouble. He should listen to our advice."

A voice sounded, and Asterion turned his head to the right and looked at the commander of the company. Routh, the opponent is also wearing Terminator.

"Soshiyan of the Astral Knights is a cunning man, and that mortal cannot defeat him."

"He is a messenger, representing the High Lords Council, and his words are the words of the High Lords."

Asterion Moloch replied:

"In any case we Everyone must always maintain respect.

“I don’t think that Soshyan is very cunning,”

The avant-garde veteran Issalivan sat on the left side of Zelaus, also dressed in Hades. Terminator, this extremely rare and expensive equipment seems to be relatively common in the Minotaur, and it also shows the great strength of the Chapter

"Those rebels are cowards in nature. Once there are signs of defeat, they will try to retreat. Such disloyal people lack true belief in goals. However, Soshyan led so many troops and fought for several years. No results."

Hearing this, Sola, the avant-garde veteran, also said:

"As far as I'm concerned, this Astral Knight is no better than the Red Pirates. They were no better than the Red Pirates last time. ——"

"Okay."

When Asterion Moro spoke, his voice was a little heavy.

"We are here to protect the special envoy, not to judge anyone. Remember, we only need to carry out the mission, not be eager to obtain false honors, and focus on more critical tasks."

As he spoke later, there was a soft warning in his voice.

Suddenly, a data screen on the top of the cabin flickered, silencing the conversation. As the screen zoomed in and panned to the side of the hive spire, the tarmac gradually became clearer.

At the same time, the numbers on the display tell everyone that they have 5 minutes left before landing.

In an instant, everyone stood up.

With a slight sway, the Stormbird began to slow down, and in the process the engine roared to a scream.

Finally, after a sudden shake, the vehicle stopped, and then the ramp slowly opened.

In the flashing red warning lights, ten Minotaur terminators emerged from the darkness, bolt guns clenched in their hands, and their power claws exuded a menacing cold light.

The guards guarding the apron turned their heads, and then an officer stepped forward with doubts.

"Sir, this is a military security zone. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Asterion Moro, who towered before him, barely lowered his head and just made a low voice.

"Special Envoy Feisal summoned us and brought us to him."

"We did not receive the notice, please wait."

Then The officer walked to the communicator not far away and spent a minute or so communicating with his superiors. When he walked over, the confusion on his face still did not disappear.

"My lord, the superiors don't seem to know about this matter. Now the special envoy is meeting with the Supreme Lord Commander, you see."

Asterion Moloch's response was only three words.

“Take me there.”

His tone was authoritative and could not be refuted. After careful consideration, the officer nodded.

"Sir, please come this way, but I'm not sure whether we can let you in over there." Soon, the silent Minotaurs were brought to the door of the command center. At this time, the star world guarding the door The knight immediately stopped them, and it was Ustad's second company who was in charge here.

"This is a military base."

When the soldiers raised their bolt guns and pointed them at the Minotaur terminators, Ustad walked up and looked at Asterion Moro.

"The idlers will stay away immediately."

"Envoy Feisal summons us."

Ustad shook his head.

"I did not receive this notice. Now you are trespassing on a strategic military location without any reason. We have the right to kill you, so please leave."

Asterion suddenly tightened the spear in his hand , but Robin drew his sword faster, pointed at the opponent, and warned in a soft voice:

"You must not mess around, otherwise, I will chop off your head with my own hands."

Finally, Asterion suppressed his anger and hissed:

"Envoy Feisal summoned us, and I must go to him. This is our duty. .”

"I did not receive the notification, but as an Astartes Chapter Master, you can go in, but you must be disarmed, and you can only be alone. The same is true for other Chapter Masters."

A After a moment of silence, Sterion turned around and handed the spear and shield to the warrior behind him, and then his bolter, but just as he took a step back, Ustad stopped him.

"This."

Ustad looked at the fighting knife on the opponent's thigh and raised his chin.

"Are you afraid of a knife? Or do you intend to humiliate the entire Adeptus Astartes?"

Hearing Asterion's words, Ustad stepped aside and Asterion strode into the command center and walked all the way to the military situation room under the curious eyes of everyone.

His appearance quickly attracted the attention of others, but he still moved forward as if no one else was around. When passing by the Chapter Leaders waiting outside, Seth stopped him.

"Asterion? Why are you here? Who asked you to come in?"

"Envoy Feisal summoned me."

"The envoy is talking to The commander-in-chief is meeting. When did he summon you? "

Asterion completely ignored the other party's words and continued walking. Just when Seth was about to have a fit, Lysandra grabbed him and shook his head. At this time, Seth suddenly noticed that the guards in the military intelligence center The Terminators seemed to have no intention of stopping the Minotaur Chapter Leader. He immediately mistakenly thought that the envoy had really summoned the other party.

"What the hell? What is he doing by calling Asterion here now?"

Lysander did not speak, but looked at Asterion meaningfully ’s back, and noticed that some Terminators had begun to move.

Soon Asterion came to the door of the military intelligence room. Talos and Amnak, who were wearing simple power armor and helmets, immediately reached out to stop each other.

"Who are you? Why did you rush in without saying a word? Do you know where this is?"

"I am Asterion, Chapter Master of the Minotaur Chapter. I am responsible for protecting Envoy Feisal. He is calling me."

A contemptuous laugh came from under Talos's helmet.

"This is not a place where cats and dogs can enter. This is a military important place with the highest level of confidentiality. If you enter at will, we will kill you without mercy."

"Soshyan General Faisal Why did the special envoy come here?"

"No need to explain to you"

Asterion was silent for a moment, then suddenly accelerated, passing unstoppably between their arms like an out-of-control tank.

“.You can’t go in.”

As Talos lazily shouted, the door in front of Asterion opened by itself without even thinking about it. Just stepped in——
