AWB Chapter 351: The Battle of Callidus Begins
Chapter 351: The Battle of Callidus Begins
The assassin Callidus bowed slightly, then connected the small thinker on his body to the large processor. The dark green transparent screen gradually turned darker until the stars twinkled, and everyone realized that it was a corner of the starry sky.
As the camera slowly turned, the damaged cruiser appeared before everyone's eyes. Several ferocious alien warships around it were like bloodthirsty beasts devouring dying prey, arousing hatred in everyone.
The scene jumps, and the tragic situations in the warships come to life on the paper. The navy fought hard but all ended in tragedy. Only the Minotaur warriors could still resist stubbornly.
The Callidus assassins disguised themselves as conspiracy fighters, slaughtering unsuspecting "teammates" on the flanks while covering the movement of the prison.
Nerve Crusher, Form Phase Sword,
When she saw the Thunderhawk gunship flying out of the battleship, she immediately got into the escape pod, set a tracking signal, and flew to the prison world together.
"After investigation, it was found that the aliens involved in the hijacking were from the Blood Claw Conspiracy among the Dark Eldar. Their archon was the infamous Akarakes. I really hope this beast is torn into pieces." Harrington cursed.
Everyone present had more or less come into contact with the Dark Eldar, especially the naval generals, many of whose compatriots had suffered terribly.
Seeing this tragic scene today, naturally, his blood boiled and he was furious. While cursing secretly, he also respected the Minotaur Legion a lot.
As the scene jumped again, this time the background turned dark brown, and a desolate prison world appeared in front of everyone. When Callidus found the crashed plane after landing, there was nothing but a piece of wreckage and the conspiracy fighters who were also investigating.
The same scene was played out again, the neural crusher gun killed the crowd, and a phase sword chopped off any small fish that wanted to get close like cutting melons and vegetables.
After killing all the aliens, Callidus began to look for clues on the dead Space Marines. Unexpectedly, the Minotaur warrior who was thought to be dead still had a glimmer of hope.
"Lin Heng teamed up with the Dark Eldar to kill my comrades and steal my gene seeds. Today I can actually kill him with my own hands. The Emperor of God is blessing me!" (Filling in the pit, if anyone still remembers that the protagonist did not absorb the other party's attributes at that time)
Beside the Inquisitor, a Primaris Space Marine stepped forward and said, everyone looked and found that the symbol on it was exactly the same as in the image. It seemed that Lin Heng had really fled for fear of crime.
Callidus continued to track the escaped prisoners according to the clues, discovered the riot in the town, and found a dagger that was not of local technology. After "questioning", he confirmed that Lin Heng went to the prison.
After finding the vehicle driven by the other party and "asking" the guards, they began to move towards the bottom of the prison. The image of the mutated human shocked everyone. Ian even knelt down and prayed despite the pain in his body.
Sharp fangs, claws, horns, red skin, and more and more corpses indicated the changes in the prison. Several generals even wanted to leave early. After all, some things are better not known.
Bloodletter, a lesser demon of Khorne, on the same level as the Plaguebearer
"Don't put in too much detail. It's better to know less about that kind of thing..."
Harrington spoke slowly, his eyes still fixed on the calm and composed Rebs, as if judging whether the other party had fallen into the abyss.
Ian's palms gradually clenched as he watched the number of floors continue to increase and the area deep underground became increasingly bizarre.
400层..500层..600层..620层..640层..660层...
When the number of floors stopped abruptly at 665, Even Harrington breathed a sigh of relief, and the few people who obviously knew the secret naturally felt fortunate.
Fortunately, Lin Heng fought his way in and killed so many cultists and abominable creatures. It was a significant contribution to the empire, Ian thought.
Rebos was also carefully judging the situation in the video. The fragmented memories also had new angles as he looked deeper into the picture. The other party did not spread false information. Every frame of the picture could evoke new memories in him.
Everyone has their own opinions, sometimes good, sometimes bad, but none of them have reached the peak of emotion. Killing is justifiable, and keeping alive is reasonable. If you really want to sentence someone to death, you have to do it with a big...
So, what is said is big and what is said is big, the believers shouted, and a priest with a smiling face and a mural carved with wings appeared.
Hundreds of believers knelt down and prayed to the statue with Lin Heng's face, as if the real god was Lin Heng in front of them. Even Pope Ian felt that there was no hope.
The behaviors that are absolutely unacceptable in the doctrine, such as arbitrarily claiming to be a god and organizing a cult, were clearly displayed before everyone.
The believers' expressions of gratitude were so genuine that even Ian, the Pope, was envious; there was not a trace of falsehood, deceit or treachery in them.
This kind of crime even surprised Ian. He had never expected that the other party was actually the leader of a cult... It would have been fine if he was just a leader, but the fact that he was the object of prayer was an unforgivable sin.
(Around Chapter 242)
"Rebos..."
"Look! Look! Need I say more? All citizens of the empire must fight against this kind of crime to the end!
The Fire Covenant is inextricably linked to Lin Heng, and the Regent's ruling is based on merit only. The true danger is hidden deeper than we can imagine!"
Callidus hid among the believers, listening to the communication between Lin Heng and the priest. As the two discussed their speeches, the swaying balance began to tilt towards the Inquisitor. Harrington seemed to have tasted the fruits of victory, his face was filled with joy, and he was confident of victory.
"Rustle...rustle...rustle..." With the rustling sound, the picture became a little shaky, as if a large army had gathered to attack the prison.
Finally, Lin Heng left. Callidus wanted to follow him, but he turned around and transformed into Lin Heng and walked back.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited for what would happen next. No one noticed the assassin's transformation, wondering what kind of secrets would be unearthed.
"Priest, does our sect still have bases on those planets?" said Lin Heng, who was disguised as Callidus.
But to everyone's surprise, the priest who should have been smiling had a blank expression on his face, as if he had seen something disgusting.
"You bastard from the Assassin's Court, your disguise is as childish as a baby in front of me. You are not bad at disguising yourself as someone else, but if you want to disguise yourself as the Lord's Messenger, your psychic reaction needs to be more active, idiot!"
The priest suddenly attacked, and swung out the short single-edged axe under his robe quickly. His ferocious appearance was in stark contrast to his previous amiable appearance.
"call!"
Like a gust of wind passing by, the green phase sword and the ferocious short axe collided with each other, but the imagined sound of metal colliding did not sound.
The phase sword and the short axe seemed to be in a different dimension. The two just touched each other and it was unclear who was passing between them.
"bass."
The ferocious short axe fell to the ground unharmed, but the arm holding the axe flew out, spurting blood.
"Boom."
Callidus displayed her inhuman speed, cut off the priest's arm with her right hand, flew away, and shot the opponent's side with the nerve crusher in her left hand.
The unprotected priest fell to the ground in agony, his body twitching and twisting in pain, squeezing the gaping wound. He stretched out his arm with a smooth cut, and the twisting and squeezing feeling came instantly.
But his energy level was not high to begin with, and his physical injuries made his psychic skills seem much weaker. Callidus took off 16 joints and shook them off the oppressive feeling, and a knee strike directly broke the priest's jaw.
"Humph, then your fighting skills are as childish as a child's in front of me. You are good at fighting some heretic creatures, but fighting Callidus with a sword, haha, it's useless even if you train for a hundred years, idiot."
The same words caused ripples this time. Although the witnesses did not cheer, they applauded. Only Rebos frowned and twitched his fingers under his cloak.
"Tell me everything about Lin Heng, and I'll give you a quick death."
"Haha, cough, cough... Even your master is not qualified to know the secret. You are just a bunch of crazy people who use chicken feathers as a token of authority. Compared with the responsibilities we bear, sadness is your synonym, hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The phase sword pierced into the priest's thigh, and blood gushed out, but the pain seemed not to appear on the priest, and he was still talking and laughing.
"Your master's master is still unworthy. True greatness will be born among us, the guardians. Then everything will change. And now we are on the right track."
"Who are your accomplices? What is your plan?"
"Haha, accomplices? We are the most loyal believers in the plan! We have our own way."
Confused expressions appeared on everyone's faces, but the more this was the case, the more it showed that the priest was a brainless cult member. Everyone looked at each other and began to believe in his identity. More and more generals began to believe that there might be hidden secrets in the Fire Covenant.
But there were two people who disagreed. They were not Caroline and Ian, but Rebs and Zachley. He saw a flash of light in the glances they exchanged.
"Damned heretic, damned mutant, surrender and plead guilty!"
No matter how the Inquisitor yelled, Rebos just nodded slightly at the think tank and lip-synched:
"The state religion is an ally."
...
“XiuXiuXiuXiu!!!!”
Suddenly, several twin laser cannons mounted above the head automatically searched for the enemy and opened fire. They were clearly aimed at the Fire Covenant before, but now they exploded in the Inquisitor's team.
Crusader-class automaton of the Order
Several long laser beams shattered the flesh and melted the armor. Even if the power armor was hit by a single shot, a two-centimeter-deep charred crater was left behind.
No one had imagined that the battle would come so quickly. There wasn't even any obvious warning. Some generals didn't even understand the situation and were left with only half a rotten face.
Psychic energy surged, the sun's thunder crackled, and dozens of electric arcs jumped among the crowd, burning the flesh and blood under the shell armor and power armor.
The siege claws split into three petals with a "buzzing" sound, and the tiger and dragon roars in the center of the palm refined promethium like a fire python melting everything. The heavy grenade in the right hand made a "bang bang" sound, hitting the opponent and making him bleed on the spot.
Amid the attack of psychic energy, guns, and fire, the dying man who collapsed to the ground fired back, bombarding the enemy with explosive shells and lasers.
Amid the interweaving barrage of bullets, the twin laser cannons were blown up, and in the engulfing of flames, the giant, bathed in kerosene, struck his shield and launched a counterattack.
Everything happened in an instant. Ian did not expect the battle to start in an instant. He didn't even know how he was dragged down.
I only vaguely remember that the Rakken armor-piercing bullet fired by Caroline easily pierced through two Minotaur warriors, and one of them was still the Original Cast who was clamoring to kill Lin Heng.
The fighting started in chaos and confusion. The explosion at close range was deafening. By the time Ian reacted, he had been dragged to the next corridor and the gate was closed.
The weak navy was just cannon fodder in this face-to-face battle, and even the stormtroopers, who were considered the elite, could not make any waves.
This is a battlefield for high-end combat forces. Even a Space Marine cannot survive in this meat grinder for a minute. It is a slaughterhouse where you fight to the death in a matter of seconds.
"heresy!!!"
Harrington's roar sounded so angry. Although Ian couldn't see his face, he could imagine his rage.
"The communication channel is being jammed, and we cannot connect to the Divine Reason." the nun shouted.
That’s right, if he were in the other person’s position, he would probably be more hysterical than the other person if he encountered such a thing.
"Protect His Holiness the Pope and evacuate the battlefield!"
But now he is the Pope, he is a heretic who is insulted by the other side for harboring mutants, and a bastard who is not worthy of holding the weapons of the Emperor of God...
Ian stood up, the tinnitus disappeared, the dizziness went away, his mental state was fanatical yet calm, and he figured out what he should accomplish.
"I am so stupid! What on earth was I hesitating about before? Why did I think that a mere inquisitor could hinder everything?
The provisions of doctrine...The words of the Divine Emperor are the sublimation of doctrine. How can they be clearly explained and conveyed in just a few words? If I don't listen to the Divine Emperor, who else should I listen to!
The Emperor of God has descended upon Caroline, and you, a lousy judge, dare to question the Emperor of God's decision? Get the hell out of here!
Pass on my order, everyone immediately rush to the boarding deck and evacuate to the Holy Reason. Lord Rebos must have his plan, while the communication is poor, let's take down the navy's fleet first!"
Ian reluctantly grabbed Caroline's arm. Today was different from the past. After all, it was someone else's home court. Even if Rebos controlled the ship's central control system, the number of people on the ship was much greater than the bullets they carried.
Caroline bit her lip and glanced at the gate that was so close yet so far away. She turned around and looked at Ian and nodded heavily.
"Okay, let's..."
"Oh!"
The nun raised the gun in her hand and shot Ian. As the shattering beam poured out, the Callidus assassin also showed his might.
