The Emperor’s Angel of Death

.So Sablin may not have served as long as you. They have always grown up in the battle group, which is completely different from the environment in which you grew up in the past. Although you are related by blood, you actually don’t have much similarity. There is no need to look at each other through the eyes of the Legion brothers of the past. Perhaps after going through battles, we can find common ground with each other. "

After a long silence, Alvarez whispered:

"What about the long battle and punishment promised by the Primarch?"

Talos smiled and shook his head.

"You haven't even met him, so why do you care so much what he says?"

"But you've seen it, why—"

"Yeah, so I have been fighting all my life, but the goal of the battle has changed. Fighting the empire is a long battle, and fighting other things is also a long battle. The empire is false, but it doesn't mean that those subspace **** is right. "

"But you don't have to stand on either side."

"Is that different from your previous life? Star Knights are a good sanctuary. The empire cannot interfere with us, and chaos cannot contaminate us. Punishment is only a means, not a goal, not to mention that the empire is already a rotten corpse." What's the point of punishing corpses? On the contrary, those fallen people have become cancerous tumors, and that's what we should eliminate. Those who succumb to chaos are the real weak."

Alvarez felt that Talos was confusing concepts, but it did make sense in a sense.

"So... I'm going to join the Star Knights, right?"

"Well, so to speak."

With a wry smile on his face, Alvarez stroked the smooth black hair on his head.

"Fate is really unpredictable. One second, I was a member of the Chaos Warband, and the next second, I suddenly became a so-called loyal warrior of the empire. But to be honest, it is difficult for this star knight to be called loyal. The descendants of the legion, I have also wondered what happened to the two disappeared legions in the past, it seems that there are still many secrets in it."

He looked at Talos.

"Soul Hunter, I still want to know what you really think. Is it true that the legion has no future? Can we really just live under the fence forever? And the appearance of Ulan Huda, I feel that things are not that simple, you Is there anything else I haven't told me? Something to do with the Primarch? You were one of those closest to the moment of his death, did he leave any last words?"

"You have too many problems, but you don't need to know that much about your current identity and level."

Talos turned and walked towards the gate.

"You'll know this when I think you're good enough, and don't call me a soul hunter anymore. The soul hunter died a long time ago."

Looking at the back of the other party going away, Alvarez sighed softly, not knowing whether his choice was a blessing or a curse.

But at least, he is safe and doesn't have to worry about life and death every day.

At this time, both sides in the war hadn't realized that a demon prince had been captured, and all their attention was focused on two directions. While Angstrom was besieged by the red pirates, the expeditionary force and the red pirates were surrounded. The old Badab will also set off a new, more tragic confrontation.

As the heart of Huron's kingdom in the past, Old Badab once had an incomparably magnificent galaxy-level defense system "Ring of Steel" and more than six habitable worlds. It was the undisputed center of politics, economy, trade and military in the Maelstrom region. .

But at the end of the Badab War, with the siege of the imperial army, the Ring of Steel was torn apart, and all the settlements were massacred in retaliation. The imperial banner raised by the emperor can only survive in the wasteland called "homeland".

However, ironically, decades later, the revived Huron returned again, and he once again swept the Badab galaxy with thunderous force. Hundreds of millions of people died in a series of attacks.

After regaining control of Badab, Huron began to rebuild. First, he learned the lesson of the breach of the Ring of Steel. Instead of building the defense of the galaxy as a whole, he reclaimed the remaining parts of the Ring of Steel. Three small fortifications around the planet were formed, one was deployed on Badab VI, where the Imperial Army discovered the weakness of the Iron Ring and broke through the outpost on the orbit of the planet, causing the defense of the entire galaxy to fail. The second is deployed on the planet Secundus (Badab III), where Huron was born, and supports him extremely.

During the Badab War, the residents of Secundus desperately resisted the imperial army, and even the governor of the planet was nailed alive on the church by the Minotaur Chapter leader and did not succumb (the Minotaur did almost everything that Chaos could do at that time, Even after falling into chaos, Huron still has a little bit of affection for this world, so this planet has also become an important defensive stronghold for the Red Pirates in Badab.

The last one is naturally the main star of Badab.

In Huron's vision, after changing from the original comprehensive defense to the key defense, Badab's defense system will not be as it used to be, where the enemy breaks through a little and then loses everything. As long as it cooperates with the galaxy fleet, it is enough to fight against the empire's attack. Counterattack again, so he also mainly built the three planets that were mainly defended, and the other planets were directly rewarded to his subordinates as territories or turned into pirate stars.

However, when the empire launched an expedition and Honsou was sent to defend Badab, he immediately discovered the weakness of Huron's deployment.

Badab 6 is too far away from other worlds. Although it has a solid orbital ring defense, it is still difficult to rescue once it is besieged. Even the fleet going to rescue may be ambushed by the enemy's siege tactics.

Hong Suo is very smart, he didn't directly say to give up Badab No. 6, because he knew that Huron would definitely be reluctant~www.readwn.com~ So during the period of hosting Badab, he kept mobilizing the local defenders and equipment forces, And put a large number of red pirate leaders and generals who did not obey the command there, and he focused on strengthening the planet Secundus and the planet Badab.

But in fact, in Hong Suo's view, the Secundus planet is impossible to defend. Once the imperial army takes the naval advantage, those orbital fortifications can't even be called timely help, they can only be regarded as a dying struggle.

In his opinion, the outcome of the battle is not decided in Badab, but in the distant Angstrom. What Hong Suo has to do is to try to delay it, and the longer the delay, the better.

Therefore, all his arrangements revolve around the word "drag".

But dragging the word is easy to say, but in fact there are many ways, and not everyone agrees with Hong Suo's approach—

While the Badab galaxy was actively preparing for war, on that busy orbit, a gray iron-colored cruiser with obvious militarized features stopped at the high orbit of Badab’s main star. Its hull was covered with subspace rust and battles. The traces seem to be ancient and long, and their history can be traced back to the dark age of the Horus Rebellion, or even earlier.
