The Emperor’s Angel of Death

What came to the main star of Badab was a Hellfire-class heavy cruiser, an ancient battleship used by the empire in the era of the Great Crusade. To a large extent, it is the sacrifice of the shield generator, so the shield of this ship is much weaker than that of warships of the same level. Another design problem is that the cabins on the ship except for the engine and plasma reactor are basically covered. The huge arsenal that provides ammunition for long guns and short guns is fully occupied, which means that the crew on the ship has only a very narrow space for movement, and they cannot carry a lot of supplies. Distance patrol missions.

Therefore, after the end of the Great Rebellion, the navy, which focused on maintaining the huge territory of the empire, gradually abandoned this type of warship and basically retired all of them, which can only be seen among those chaos rebels.

The hull of this Hellfire-class heavy cruiser is engraved with a huge metal skull symbol, representing that it comes from the Fourth Legion, and a line of text beside it highlights its notoriety—

obliterate number.

Tes Dasadra stood on the bridge, he was wearing enlarged and thicker armor, the left shoulder was painted with yellow and black warning stripes common in the Legion, the helmet was held in his hand, revealing a face that seemed to be cut from granite , with sharp edges and corners, looking down at the pirate world intently.

Old Badab is not a big planet, but the old spaceport frame and surrounding orbital platforms make it look big. After years of weathering, some architectural structures are painted with dirty red paint, while others are engraved There are dark symbols of the summoning ceremony, the red pirates and the fleets of various warbands are moored nearby. In addition to various warships, there are also a large number of transport planes used to transport labor and slaves. Many lost and captured imperial transport ships and large ships are also red Pirates were repurposed for nefarious purposes, and the engineering ships of the Dark Mechanicum were constantly shuttling, performing demonic rituals and blasphemous transformations.

If you look closely, you will find that the planet no longer has oceans, and the atmosphere is very thin. The land is divided into several pieces, and in between is a huge magma rift that can be seen clearly from space.

At the end of the siege of Badab, Huron activated the planet's destruction device, the natural climate of old Badab was completely destroyed, the earth's core went berserk, the earth's crust ruptured, and the continent fell into a state of continuous instability.

After his return, although it took a lot of effort to restore it, the situation in Old Badab is irreversible. Only the restless core of the earth has calmed down, but the ground of the planet is left with endless barrenness, heat and division. .

Through the viewing window, Tes Dasadra saw a high rise in the largest part of the barren and broken continent, like a self-contained, bloated hive.

That was the center of Huron's rule over Badab in the past, the rebuilt Palace of Thorns.

Apart from the Palace of Thorns, the most conspicuous part of the planet is the nine huge silver towers outside the Palace of Thorns, which he guessed should be some kind of subspace energy hub.

At this time, a voice sounded from the bridge communication department.

"Master, the other party requires identification."

"Open the communication channel."

Different voices were transmitted into the bridge through the loudspeaker, and the communication officer exchanged information with the other party. After the negotiation was completed, the orbital station opened a berth.

"Welcome, Lord Tess Dasadra of the Iron Warriors."

A sound sounded like a scream of steel sweeping across rock.

"Lord Hong Suo has known about your arrival and asked me to represent—"

"There is no need for etiquette, I just go to see him directly."

"Uh, but."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Hong Suo said that all your requirements are met, no problem."

Soon, the ship was moored in the port, and the Iron Warrior took a transport plane, a weather-beaten Stormbird, to the ground.

With trembling and roaring, the Stormbird circled into the thin atmosphere and flew all the way towards the giant building at the pole of the planet. Soon he saw clearly the appearance of the reconstructed Thorn Palace—it was a nightmarish building, entrenched On a small continent that was half palace, half fortress, Dassadra saw void shield generators and Earth-to-orbit lasers amidst towering bell towers, spiers, and warp-corroded spiers. turret.

All barracks, squares, and arsenals are equipped with heavy-duty weapon protection, and the thick walls are also covered with various large-scale forts and demonic engines from the Dark Mechanicus.

According to the guide, the pilot controls the aircraft, passes through the transport fleet carrying cultists to pray and mutant coolies to the factory, bypasses the scaffolding of the dark altar under construction, and moves between various flight guidance instruments, in a thick metal environment. The smoke descended over the factory area and the air port that fed them the cult workers.

There is a take-off and landing platform exclusively for VIPs. The walls around the tower are surrounded by sharp spikes like swords. The platform itself is a pentagon surrounded by destruction marks and giant electronic candles. The bird landed, and ragged cultists rushed up the stone steps, and behind them was a huge spiked humanoid silhouette in dirty red armor.

"Prepare to land."

Hovering on the takeoff and landing platform, the pilot slightly shifted the landing position, blowing away the cultists coming over, and then fell heavily, extinguishing the engine of the aircraft.

"Let's go."

Dasadra walked through the cargo hold, followed by several armored entourages, and he pressed the switch that opened the unloading ramp, took off his helmet, and magnetically attached it to his lower back.

As they came down, they saw a squad of red pirates.

The bolt guns they were equipped with were all ancient models, part of their armor and twisted flesh fused together, revealing crimson muscles and gleaming rune marks under the swollen armor.

One of them did not wear a helmet, and the mutation of this person was more obvious. Half of his face belonged to a bald, bronze-skinned warrior, and the other half was occupied by a beast with fangs, yellow eyes, and a single horn. The half of the mouth that belongs to the devil seems to be always smiling narcissistically, UU reading www. uukanshu． The other half of the mouth bent down quietly.

"welcome."

The hideous red pirate said in a low voice:

"Dasadra from the 4th Legion, I am Habibo, Lord Honso's Defense Purge Officer."

His voice almost came from two throats, one playful and impermanent, the other gloomy and desperate.

"Um."

Dasadra just snorted, and didn't say anything more, and Habibo wasn't annoyed either. After all, the other party was someone Huron had specially named to treat him well. During this period of time, there were quite a few battle gangs and chaotic champions coming to Badab , but there are no more than ten people who have this treatment, which shows the relationship between them.

"this way please."

Following the other party to leave the landing platform, Iron Warrior was escorted down the steps and entered the main building of the Palace of Thorns.
