Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter :
Chapter 144 Infighting begins
Boris looked at the empty corridor, his face became more and more ugly.
What should I do if it is really like what the demon said? ?
Azrael has become so loyal to such a degree that he wants to sacrifice the blood of the lion for the loyalty of the empire.
"I will never allow such a thing to happen." Boris secretly swore in his heart that he would never allow others to bury the blood of the Primarch in order to successfully seize the power of the empire. That is a kind of betrayal, a completely terrible betrayal.
He will never allow it, and he will never compromise it.
For the lion, for the dark angel, he would give everything.
There are many kinds of betrayal in this world.
One is a betrayal on the surface, blatantly declaring to break away from the empire and to be independent.
One is covert betrayal, using heinous means to force some legions to die for political purposes in order to gain power.
No matter which one it is, for Boris, as long as it involves the survival of the Dark Angels, it is an unacceptable betrayal.
He can be loyal to the Thirteen Primarchs, fight the galaxy for the regent of the empire, and fight to the last drop of blood for mankind.
But he never agrees with the Thirteen Primarchs' dirty behavior of obliterating the Dark Angels Chapter in order to consolidate their power.
If Guilliman insists on doing that, he will fight Guilliman to the last moment.
This is not betrayal, but to defend your own honor, to defend the honor of the lion.
Boris stayed where he was, contemplating for a long time.
After a while, he glanced at the empty corridor with only the hum of machinery.
Then he turned and left, walking towards the private armory.
Each Dark Angels warrior has their own arsenal where they store their weapons and armor.
There are also machine slaves and warband servants serving them.
Boris walked into the armory with a solemn expression, and ordered the machine slaves waiting there to put on the armor for him, and be ready to deal with any emergencies.
He will fight to defend the honor of the Lion and the survival of the Dark Angels Chapter.
Accompanied by the continuous distortion of the structure of the real space, the structure of the real space will soon be torn apart.
A huge crack appeared in the dark and cold void, bursting out with dazzling and strange light.
A majestic fleet bursts from the warp rift.
Descent into the dark and icy void.
The number of ships is large enough to easily turn a galaxy into a dead place.
This is an army that symbolizes human might.
Once a war breaks out, all enemies will be destroyed.
The speed of the Calgar fleet is a little faster than others expected.
Originally, he needed more time to reach the galaxy where the megalith fortress is located.
For some unknown reason, the raging storm in the subspace set off an etheric ocean current.
This etheric ocean current is very conducive to the navigation of the fleet he leads.
The voyage that originally took half a month was completed in only three days.
"The jump is complete." The captain of the Victory Laurel yelled from the high platform seat with guardrails and surrounded by a large number of holographic screens, "I have entered the real space."
On the main deck of the front platform below him, many bridge personnel connected to their posts talked with each other, sharing and updating physical space data at the fastest speed allowed by their respective mechanical components.
The computer slave who was imprisoned in place was trembling slightly, his face was slightly twisted, his mouth was wide open, and his whole body seemed to be in pain due to the huge amount of calculations.
The nutrition tank soaked in the head of the thinker flickered rapidly, and the huge amount of data was input into the cerebral cortex through the nerve cable, and after calculation, it was output, forming a perfect closed loop.
Many people are running around, rushing to work on the things in their hands to ensure the smooth sailing of the fleet.
"We are locked." A combat officer shouted, "Six star fortresses and weapon platforms have locked us, and two interception fleets are turning."
Calgar stood on the bridge, tall and majestic like a giant **** of war.
His eyes scanned the data floating in front of him, making an assessment of Monolith Fortress.
"Send an imperial standard inquiry to identify us," Calgar said, "request to board the ship."
"Understood my lord," said the Communications Director.
After a while, the voice of Azrael, the great mentor of the dark angel, came.
"Long time no see, Calgar." Azrael said.
"It's been a long time since we last joined forces to fight the Tyranids. We haven't seen each other again. The galaxy is so vast. Once we part, it will be decades or even hundreds of years." Calgar smiled. .
The Ultramarines have fought side by side with the Dark Angels many times, and many fighters on both sides have a deep friendship.
"Are you here for something?" Azrael asked.
"I'm here to find the Primarch." Calgar said, "According to the information from the last communication, the Primarch said that he would come to the Stone Fortress in person. I have some strategic problems, so I came here to seek his enlightenment."
"It may be that there is a problem in the subspace, and the Primarch has not yet arrived." Azrael said.
"It may be delayed by something." Calgar said, "Can I go up to the Stone Fortress and wait for the arrival of the Primarch?"
"It may be a little troublesome, if you don't mind, I want to board your ship and do a safety assessment. The Stone Fortress has experienced several attacks, so I have to be more cautious." Azrael put forward the conditions with a smile .
"Of course it can." Calgar said.
Bullet Fortress.
"Calgar?" Chief think tank Ezekiel looked at Azrael who hung up the communication, and frowned slightly, "Why is he here?"
"It is said that they are here to look for the regent, but the imperial regent has not yet arrived, which makes me a little uneasy." Azrael said, "I suspect that the subspace is deliberately delaying the Primarch's fleet to create a time gap. If there is really Subspace factors, I'm afraid they are brewing a terrible conspiracy."
"Then what should we do next?" Ezekiel asked, "If someone is behind all this, how should we respond?"
"Let's take a step and see one step at a time." Azrael said, "Undercurrents are surging, tricks are intertwined, and the only way to deal with change is to remain unchanged."
"At this point, there is only one way out." Ezekiel sighed.
Victory Laurel boarded the main deck.
Accompanied by a balanced pressure, the Stormbird fighter slowly landed on the main deck with the help of force field technology.
The ramp is locked, and the pop-up damper restricts the fighter's movement.
Azrael strode out of the cabin.
Followed by the neatly arranged dark angel squad.
They were his bodyguard, sixteen Space Marines in black-and-white-bordered power suits.
The new technology from Macragge has not yet reached here.
They are old-fashioned Space Marines, not yet upgraded by Primaris.
The dark angels surrounding Azrael are all elite veterans, and the coat of arms on their left shoulders was obtained after many **** battles.
Calgar glanced at them. Their guns were loaded.
It fits the style of the Dark Angels, they are always so cautious.
Always be alert anytime and anywhere, scanning the surrounding dangers.
"You guys are slightly different." When Calgar was looking at his subordinates, Azrael was also looking at Calgar's subordinates.
He was keenly aware that Calgar's subordinates were taller and stronger.
There is a more terrifying power hidden under its body.
Especially Calgar, he seems to have extraordinary strength.
Every gesture gives people a huge sense of threat.
Facing him is like facing a giant beast from the prehistoric wilderness. Just staring at him is stressful. e "We've all gone through Primaris upgrades," Calgar said. "The companies of the Dark Angels Chapter who went to Macragge also underwent upgrades. Haven't they returned yet?"
"No, there are so many battles in the galaxy, and they are on the move." Azrael said, "It's hard to have a moment to enjoy peace."
"Humanity is indeed facing unprecedented catastrophe. Many things have changed, the stronghold of Cadia has fallen, and an even more terrible dark age has come. Thankfully, we have not lost all hope." Calgar said, " The Indomitable Crusade has been launched, and an unprecedented reform is kicking off, which will surely stabilize the empire's situation soon."
"With a primarch at the helm, there is great promise indeed," said Azrael.
"There are opportunities in crisis. The Regent of the Empire is our only hope, and it is also our hope for a new era." Calgar spoke lightly, but his eyes were sizing up Azrael's face, trying to see from the other's expression When facing the awakening of the original body, which side is the opponent on? ?
The battle between conservatives and reformers will intensify.
Unable to reconcile, the two sides will inevitably go to a war situation where they call each other a traitor to the empire.
"Indeed, with the Primarch as the leader, the empire must be able to get out of the predicament soon." Azrael said.
Calgar glanced at the other party's expression and demeanor, but there was no change in the slightest.
He is also calm.
Azrael has been in charge of the Dark Angels for many years, and his reputation in the empire is no less than that of himself and Dante.
It is really impossible for such a character to use such simple words to express the attitude of the other party.
Next, Calgar invited the other party to inspect the Victory Laurel.
After the inspection is completed, he will board the Stone Fortress and wait for the arrival of the Primarch.
During this time, he can also assess whether Monolith has any tendency to be against the Primarch.
If there is one, the Primarch must be warned or killed in advance.
Azrael was not polite, and immediately ordered the Dark Angels who came with him to check the situation on the Victory Laurel, to ensure that no enemies would be mixed in and sneak into the Stone Fortress.
During this time, there are more and more enemies who covet Luthor, the biggest traitor of the Dark Angels. If you are not careful, something big will happen.
The two dark angels walked through the dark and deep corridor to check the core power room of the battleship.
Their eyes were very vigilant, and they did not relax at all.
"We don't have any problems." Saibos and several other fighters walked in from the core power room, looked at the two dark angels who were inspecting and said.
"This is a routine inspection, we must kill all dangers." A dark angel said.
"Is that so? Then you are indeed very cautious, but unfortunately, sometimes, being cautious is also a mistake."
Saibos said casually.
He looked at the other fighters, a smile appeared on his face under the helmet.
I saw him walk up to the dark angel who was inspecting the core power room, and whispered, "You can't stop Luthor's escape, the destruction of the dark angel is doomed."
Hearing this, the dark angel who bowed his head suddenly raised his head and looked at Sebos.
An electromagnetic sound resounded in his helmet.
"I am Alpharius." The Dark Angel warrior realized something and wanted to draw out his gun to subdue him.
"What are you going to do?" Sebos raised his voice and rushed over.
The loud voice made all the other fighters look over. 2
They all saw the Dark Angel warrior pointing his gun at Cybers.
"Traitor." The dark angel shouted, and pulled the trigger in his hand.
And Cybers was extremely fast, bending over to avoid the fired bomb, and the chainsaw sword activated in his hand pierced the opponent's chest.
This scene stunned the other fighters.
The speed of the conflict between the two sides is only between two or three breaths.
Seeing his companions being attacked, the surviving Dark Angel warrior turned on the communicator, rushed towards the metal platform with a weapon in hand, and roared, "Brothers, we have been betrayed, and Desima has been killed by them! , they want to obliterate the Dark Angels."
Then, he opened fire on the Ultramarines.
