Chapter 1978 Capture
“Get it.”
As soon as Soshiyan’s words came out, Asterion, who realized that he had been fooled, immediately drew out his fighting knife and cut off the whizzing chain saw. Halberd fended it off and tried to rush out of the door.
But Amnak's sword came from a weird angle like a snake, slashing at Asterion's left leg. The King of the Labyrinth instinctively took a step back, but the sword immediately changed. In a certain direction, it stabbed and slashed at the back joint of his left leg at a speed he couldn't see, severing the artificial tendon without hurting his flesh.
As the server whined, the Terminator's left leg quickly lost power.
Asterion wanted to communicate to warn his guards, but found that the signal was completely blocked, and there was only white noise in the communicator.
Then, the unactivated chain saw halberd hit the back joint of his right leg hard, and the huge force forced him to bend his knees, and then he fell to the ground.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, other Terminators ran in, swarming him and pressing him to the ground.
"Soshyan! Soshyan!"
Finally, Asterion, who was knocked down, no longer had the calmness before. He was struggling hard and angry at the same time. roared.
"I didn't expect you to be so despicable! You are not worthy of being a Space Marine at all! You have insulted the armor you are wearing! You are a liar! A poisonous snake!! You will pay the price for today's actions!"
"Bastard! You dare to be so presumptuous at this time!"
Mark cursed and hit Asterion's helmet twice with his fist, making a clanging sound.
At this time, Faisal was also stunned. He had never expected that things would develop like this, as if his many years of experience in officialdom had become a blank piece of paper——
However, he immediately He forced himself to resolve the immediate crisis immediately, because Soshyan didn't seem to intend to stop there.
He walked up to Asterion and looked down at the leader of the Minotaur Chapter. This giant was so powerful that even three or four Terminators could hardly hold him down, but that was all.
“You still dare to resist. Now I have reason to suspect that you have fallen and become an accomplice of the Red Pirates. Even the original Asterion Chapter Master has died and an Alpha Viper has replaced him. Take off your helmet and show me the face of this traitor."
"Damn it! Soshyan! Do you know what you are doing?"
< br> Feisal was even more shocked when he heard this, because although Asterion was well-known in Terra, it was said that no one had seen his face, because this legendary chapter leader had served for more than five hundred years. , there have been eight situations where survival was considered completely impossible, but in the end it always seemed to escape death. He has experienced a total of 8 situations that were considered "completely impossible to survive" in 500 years. Therefore, some people believe that his equipment and identity were inherited by his successors. The Chapter declared to the outside world "Asterion" Survived." In fact, the person under the armor has been changed a long time ago, so this person never shows his face.
Faisal hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Commander Soshyan! Please don't do this! You have something to say!"
But no one paid attention to him. He, a mortal, had no ability to stop the actions of a group of Astartes.
In the end, no matter how much Asterion yelled, Mark took off his helmet forcibly, revealing a bald head and a fierce face full of scars. He stared at Suoshiyang with his gnawing eyes, as if he was a mortal enemy.
Soshiyang just sneered.
“I thought it was so special, Special Envoy Feisal, you heard it too. He also uttered wild words about killing me. Such a stubborn murderer must have fallen into the embrace of the Chaos God and became a Shameful traitor.”
After that, he waved his hand.
"Drag them out, kill them, and disarm the Minotaur war group. If there is resistance, it will be regarded as rebellion and annihilated on the spot. I will personally send a letter to Terra to explain."
"Soshyan! How dare you! You are rebelling! You are rebelling! What kind of Space Marines are you playing with such intrigues! Do you dare to duel with me head-on!"
Asian When Trion was dragged up, he roared crazily, and Mark immediately raised his fist when he saw this. "Traitor bastard! Shut up!"
Two punches came down hard, causing the opponent to vomit blood, broken teeth flying, and his whole face seemed to be crooked.
Hearing that Soshyan was about to shoot Asterion, Feisal panicked and quickly stepped forward and waved his hands:
"Commander Soshyan, no!" No! The enemy must not kill each other! And if you do this, it will be regarded as rebellion!"
This At this time, people outside also gathered around. Soshiyang pointed at Asterion with a puzzled face and said:
"This person brought weapons into important military areas without permission, and also threatened the lives of me, the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and your distinguished envoy. He is not a traitor, so why did I become a traitor instead?"
As he spoke, he looked at the chapter leaders.
"Do you think this is strange?"
Looking at the discussion, some people have already seen the clues, but the Minotaur's reputation is so bad that it is not possible at all. Someone will speak for them.
The corners of Feisal's eyes twitched. He knew that he had underestimated the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. He had already lost everything in the first battle this time.
But he's still trying to save the day.
"Maybe. It is indeed a mistake by a certain attendant."
"Okay, then send someone to investigate now. If this is the case, I will immediately apologize and let him go."
Faisal knew that since the other party dared to arrange this, there would definitely be nothing to investigate, so he changed the subject.
"Lord Soshyan, this matter is actually not that serious. There is no need to make such a big fuss. Captain Asterion has served the empire for hundreds of years and has made great achievements. He is definitely not a traitor. Let's just treat it as a misunderstanding and shake hands without damaging each other's goodwill and the honor of the Adeptus Astartes."
Looking at the special envoy, Soshyan smiled and shook his head.
"Special envoy, this is a time of war. How can you say that the matter is not serious? What is involved here is top secret military information. You should also understand the confidentiality system and its significance in the military. Military secrets Once it is leaked, the price may be the lives of thousands of soldiers! As their supreme commander, how can I not be cautious anymore? There is no small matter in the military, but since you said so, I respect the High Lords Council. Voice, but this person must be reviewed to make sure that he is not a traitor and will not leak military secrets."
As an old bureaucrat, how could Feisal not know what the so-called "review" is, the absolute rule of the empire. Most examinations can basically be linked to torture, especially psychic interrogation.
"Commander-in-Chief, there is something to be said for this. I am willing to vouch for Chapter Commander Asterion."
"Lord Faisal, this is not a matter of guarantee or not. , I cannot risk the lives of the soldiers. If you really think there is something wrong with my decision, I am willing to abdicate and give way to someone new. You can arrange for a new commander to take this position, and I will lead the battle group back to the home planet immediately."
"Oh, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice.
“Supreme Lord Commander Soshiyang, can we talk in private?”
Soshiyang thought for a moment and nodded.
“Please.”
