Chapter 439 Legion Era: Solving All Problems

The towering peak stood in the sunshine. The tall building was leaning against the mountain and standing at the end of the village. On its outer wall, there was a huge stone door and a long colonnade supporting it. The surface of the rock was covered with traces of years of wear and tear. On the rusted and weathered rock wall, an ancient symbol was carved on the mountain as a whole.

Vito walked from the edge of the wide volcanic rock platform. The Shadow Moon Wolf warriors in front of him moved to both sides. They bowed their heads with their grenade guns to salute the marshal, but the latter kept looking at the tall building in the distance. The ancient building was carved and built in the mountain. Its outer wall was the cliffs and mountains, and its glass was the alpine ice layer condensed on the mountains.

The sunlight reflected on the ice layer made the mountain peak look particularly quiet and peaceful, revealing an unshakable sense of divinity. Even the fierce artillery fire from the mountain fortress in the distance could not shake the sense of holiness.

"Major, is that the temple that the locals believe in?" Vito did not look at the road ahead, but stopped precisely in front of the major, without hitting the major with his huge power armor.

But the latter still subconsciously took a step back. He looked up at the tall golden giant in front of him. His eyes were still looking at the ancient temple in the distance. He seemed not to notice the major. The major looked up at the tall body and the face on it, and he was fascinated. He had never seen a god so close, and his excitement was self-evident.

"Hey, the marshal asked you again, and you asked the marshal to wait for you? You are so big." The most pleasant voice that the major had ever heard in his life sounded beside the marshal. He turned his head to look at the source of the voice. Lilith suddenly appeared from behind Vito, as if she had walked out of his shadow. Even the Shadow Moon Wolves had not discovered her before.

The major was startled. He quickly raised his head to look at Vito's face. The latter still didn't look at him, but his majesty had already made the major have an unexplained impulse to obey. He stood at attention and saluted, then spoke loudly, trying to make his voice overwhelm the cold wind around him and reach the marshal's ears word for word.

"Yes, sir! That is the local temple, and it is also the religious center of the entire area. Their monks practice and worship their gods in it." "Well, it's very interesting. Maybe I will go and see it, but now, I have no questions to ask you. Go down, Major, Locke, let your people put down their guns."

Vito said rather indifferently, as if there was no emotion in his words, but this still made the major relieved. He left immediately after glancing at Locke behind him. He hurried to the edge of the volcanic rock platform and hurried down from there. Locke stared at his disappearing back, and then nodded to the Shadow Moon Wolf behind him.

The latter nodded silently and passed the order on the helmet communicator. The Luna Wolf warriors below put down their bolters, which made the remaining Astra Militarum relieved. They didn't even dare to ask why they were aimed at them before. Everyone followed the major silently and moved away to the side, as far away from these silent angels of death as possible.

As a result, the entire tall mountaintop platform was left with only the Luna Wolf Company, their commander Loken, Vito who had just arrived here, and Lilith who appeared mysteriously behind him.

"My lord, I didn't know you were here too. How did you get here? There was no news from any other aircraft around my flight formation." "Because there really wasn't any. I came here on your Thunderhawk, the Thunderhawk of the Spurs Squad. They are a group of interesting young people."

"Spurs Squad? I didn't receive any report from Sergeant Glock." Loken asked in surprise, and then prepared to activate the communicator in the helmet to contact Glock to ask him what happened and why he didn't report it, but when Loken was about to dial the communicator, Vito raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't blame Glock, because I told him not to inform you. I boarded his transport plane uninvited and ordered him to keep it secret from you, so if you want to find someone responsible, that person is in front of you."

"I dare not do this, sir, but I am very curious, why did you come here?" Locke asked puzzledly, his eyes followed Vito who was passing by and looked forward. He glanced at Lilith who was standing with Vito, but did not call out her name.

This judge always gave Locke a feeling of uneasiness. He couldn't say why, but he always felt that as long as Lilith was in front of him, it was always like a cold blade against his back. He didn't like this female judge, not at all.

Lilith seemed to have noticed this. She stopped at the edge of the cliff and looked at Locke with a charming smile on her lips, but Locke's helmet was still expressionless. After all, his face was below, but I can also be sure that Locke didn't look at Lilith, his eyes were always on Vito.

"I came here to see the scenery and, by the way, to stop you from killing all the survivors of the remaining regiment of the Astra Militarum." Vito stood on the edge of the volcanic rock, standing in front of the bottomless deep valley and staring at the mirror-like peaks in the distance. Loken behind him glanced at the mortals below.

"He said that he heard a strange sound, a strange whispering voice that kept whispering. This is consistent with what I have read from the information given to me by the Inquisition. The symptoms of Genestealer infection, so in order to I decided to execute them just to be on the safe side.”

"Cold, but reasonable and efficient, Loken is worthy of praise." Vito stood in front and chuckled. Loken turned his head, the red glass eyes under the helmet stared at Vito's back, and he nodded silently. , "Excuse me, my lord, but why did you stop me?"

"Because he heard the whispers not because of the gene stealer infection, but for other reasons." "Other reasons?" "Then it has nothing to do with you. That is the purpose of your coming here."

Vito's huge power claw pointed at the fortress in the distance, where guns and guns were firing. It seemed that another attack of the Astra Militarum ended in failure. The golden claw pointed there under the sunlight, and on the back of the claw Flashing light.

"I sent you here to deal with the rebels in the fortress. You don't need to worry about the rest." "Then, what are you here for? Sir." "Witness the victory of the Luna Wolf, your Victory, and the glory of the Legion?”

Loken was silent for a moment, then spoke after the Luna Wolf warriors on both sides looked at each other wordlessly, "Please forgive me, Marshal, but you are here to treat us."

Vito said and looked sideways at Loken with a smile. He looked at Loken's helmet with a smile on his face. He couldn't see the expression underneath, but he smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not here. You cause trouble or compete for your honor."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked down at the mountain road below, at the section of the long rock bridge that was vaguely visible in the mountains. Then he raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate of the tall fortress, "I will be here to watch you capture it. Fortress, I will witness your victory, the victory of the Luna Wolf, and send my blessings afterwards.”

"This is a great honor for me, my lord." Loken lowered his head and put his fist against his chest. He was silent for a moment and then raised his eyes slightly. "But I still must declare again that these Astra Militarum troops may be at risk of infection. grown ups."

"Leave this trouble to me. If you must get your hands dirty today, then let Glory get it dirty." Vito turned to look at Loken, and he raised his paw and pointed again That fortress with guns blazing, "Go and capture it, is one hour enough?"

"More than enough." After Loken said that, he stood up and said something wordlessly to the several Luna Wolves behind him. Vito could not hear their conversation. All the conversations were completed in the communication inside the helmet. Conversations were concluded efficiently and quickly, and follow-through was implemented quickly.

Several Luna Wolves strode towards the edge of the stone platform. Almost in step with them, the Luna Wolves formation below began to turn around. They neatly turned around with bolters in hand, and They began to march towards the mountain road of village 1 in the distance, with the centurion walking beside them and the flag bearer holding the flying flag high.

The march of hundreds of death angels shook the earth and shook the entire quiet village. A pair of eyes hiding in the house peeked out through the cracks in the door and the edges of the windows. Although they were afraid, their curiosity made them They looked out, and the whole village was watching the marching white army.

The burly Luna Wolves marched through the streets of the village, the tall Terminators at the head of the march, their heavy steps making the wooden buildings on both sides tremble.

Loken looked at his team with satisfaction, but just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Vito, "Loken, just like the major heard the phantom voice, there may be something in the fortress that surprises you. Things, if you find them, go find out the situation alone and tell me."

Loken stopped and glanced at Vito. The latter stood there with his hands behind his back and looked at him silently. His eyes were as quiet as the sea of ​​ice. After a moment of silence, Loken nodded slightly and then strode down. He walked to Shitai and followed his company.

Vito also watched the Luna Wolf team go away and then walked forward. He walked along the carved rock wall stairs to the ground. Lilith also followed him, a few steps away. He stopped on the steps and looked at Vito, who turned his head with one hand on his hip. He turned towards the major and his soldiers in the distance.

"Major, recall your remaining men and summon all local residents to go to the temple. If they refuse, they will be executed on the spot." "As you command, my lord."

After the major said this, he immediately saluted and began to give orders. The communications soldier behind him immediately began to tease the radio on his back, and bursts of communication hiss echoed around the machine.

Vito stood overlooking them from a high place, and then silently activated the communicator on the neck of the armor, and the flickering light of fire lit up, "Assassin, send a team of execution troops down with bombs." "As you said. I wish, Master.”

The cold voice was short-lived, but extremely bone-piercing. It was the emotionless voice of a member of the Assassin's Court, like a ruthless weapon waiting to be unsheathed.

Vito's eyes moved away from the flash of the communicator. He raised his head and looked at the Astra Militarum in front. His eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent. Lilith stood behind Vito with one hand on her hips and looked at him. The back of the head said, "What do you want to do?"

"They heard the whispers of Slaanesh. It won't be long before these mortals will be affected by Slaanesh. Their will is far inferior to that of the Astartes. The influence of Chaos has already begun. Now, they have become a threat, just like here. Residents alike.”

Vito stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the major and his soldiers in the distance, his power claws slightly closed behind him, "No one knows what happened, no one has heard that sound."

"In addition, you need a blood sacrifice to prepare for the storm ritual, right? They will bring the residents here who may also be affected by Slaanesh to the unified place, and they will solve all problems there at once."

Vito smiled coldly, and his expression had already made a judgment for the residents here, "This planet will usher in true peace, and all threats from the empire will be eradicated."

Vito's words did not reach Loken's ears, but he did hear the order of the Astra Militarum to retreat. The signal sounded on the radio channel and was naturally captured by Loken's power armor system.

Many Star Army soldiers on both sides of him were retreating again. Some were carrying guns, some were carrying heavy weapons together, and some were supporting the wounded and retreating. They all consciously leaned against the sides of the mountain road and moved backward to make way for the huge angels of death moving on it.

Lokken soon led his company to the stone bridge. The bridge was made of natural granite, tall and long. One section connected this side of the mountain road, and the other end was connected to the black gate of the fortress. Above the tall city gate, countless gunfire flashed between the city wall and the surrounding rock walls.

They had just gradually stopped, and stopped with the retreat of the Star Army, and the latter left several new bodies around and on the surface of the bridge. Locken could see that the Star Army suffered heavy losses here, and the enemy's rapid firepower even prevented them from recovering the remains of their comrades.

Those Genestealers had been arrogant for several weeks relying on the mountain fortress, but now their good days were over. Loken turned around and gave the company behind him an attack order, "Terminators take the lead, break through the bridge to cover the company's advance."

"Yes, legion commander." The tall Terminator leader responded in a low voice, and then led several Terminators under his command to step onto the bridge with their heads held high. Almost instantly, the artillery fire on the opposite side that had just been silent roared again, and several bullets whizzed over.

The rain of bullets brought a clanging sound of steel collisions. The Terminators walked forward with their heads held high on the bridge. Their heavy footsteps shook the corpses around them and their armor and helmets. There were huge bullet holes on the dark green armor of the Astra Militarum. The rapid firepower on the opposite side of the bridge made them pay the price.

But this does not mean that the Terminator also needs to face the same problem. Even if there are more whistling bullets, those bullets cannot stop the Terminator at all. The Emperor's divine soldiers are advancing proudly, and there will not even be gaps on the silver-white armor that need to be repainted because of the enemy's artillery fire.

On the city wall, the roaring Genestealer shouted back, and soon several shooters carrying rocket launchers rushed up from the stairs behind the city wall where gunshots were heard and shells were rolling everywhere. They rushed up the city wall and aimed at the Terminator with the rocket launcher.

The huge explosion instantly hit the snow-white armor and exploded in the middle of the bridge, but the snow-white armor stepped out in the clouds of fire. The Terminator continued to move forward unscathed, advancing calmly under the rain of bullets.

When the brigade reached the middle of the bridge, the Terminators raised their storm bolters and other auxiliary weapons, and launched a counterattack with fierce artillery fire. The tall giants fired at different positions on the city walls and the surrounding areas. Suddenly, there was a burst of explosions in the shooting positions and hidden firepower points distributed on the mountain rock walls.

The collapsed rocks rolled down the slope, and with them rolled many incomplete bodies. The bald heads and the rubble fell into the deep rift abyss.

"Assault team, attack!" Loken waved his arms and ordered, and behind him, the warriors wearing raven-type helmets and power armor stepped up. They rushed past the two sides of the Terminator and reached the end of the long bridge of the fortress at a fast speed. Then they stepped up and jumped onto the city wall at once with the help of the jetpack behind them.

The assault team soldier who landed immediately opened fire. The bolter he held in both hands caused a bloody mess on the city wall. More raven-type warriors behind him also jumped onto the city wall with jetpacks on their backs. They wielded the chainsaw swords in their hands and killed people. Others rushed to the other end of the city wall and fired their bolters at the hall behind the city gate below.

Loken heard the sound of glass breaking and the shocking sound of rocks being shattered in the explosion. The explosion tore the walls of the fortress from the inside, and smashed the flames, rubble and broken limbs into the abyss of the rift valley. Loken looked at the countless fallen debris and listened to the crackling sound of those things hitting the cliffs below.

And in the crackling sound, those sounds gradually became more regular, and the meaningless collision sound began to turn into rhythmic syllables, and then turned into some kind of words.

"She can hear your desires, she can understand your needs, find the Crescent Road, no matter what you are looking for, you will find it there."

Lokken listened to the voice in the helmet communicator and was silent for a moment. Was this the voice that the major said? Locken also heard it, but why? Why could he hear it too? Locken was sure that he was not infected by the Genestealer. In the previous battle, there were no cracks in his armor, and the subsequent medical examination was also normal.

But he just heard it, that voice, that strange voice, "She can hear your desire, she can understand your needs, find the Crescent Road, no matter what you are looking for, you will get what you are looking for there."

The warriors behind him looked at him, and Locke raised his head after a moment of contemplation. He shook his head and was attracted by an explosion again. It was the loud sound of the city gate collapsing in the distance. Its bolts shattered into countless pieces in the explosion, and the two doors fell to the ground with a bang.

Locke could see the jetpack team behind through the door frame of the gate. They were fighting fiercely with the enemy in the hall, and the rapid artillery fire of the grenade guns kept lighting up the rock walls on both sides.

"Terminator immediately broke in and expanded the position. The rest of the people, follow me!" Locke said and raised the power sword in his hand. He suddenly gripped the wolf head hilt, and lightning jumped on it instantly.

"Wolf God!"

"Wolf God!" With this shout, the Luna Wolves followed Loken and strode towards the gap in the gate. The shining power sword rose up as Loken swung it, and the lightning blade slashed at a purebred Genestealer who turned his head, and the blue light illuminated the ugly face.
