Chapter 514: One-Sided "Peak" "Request for Help"

Crack. Pop.

The flames devoured the wreckage of the shuttle, and the hot air swept through, leaving behind diffuse gunpowder smoke and melted metal fragments.

In the center of the fire, a faint blue light formed a strange psychic shield.

Buzz~—Buzz——!

This looming barrier easily blocked the incoming blast beam, and the moment the beam touched the shield, it splashed in all directions, making a dull roar, but it could not shake it at all.

The figure standing from the wreckage gradually emerged-

It was the captain of the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons, Gabriel Angelos.

Holding his exclusive power hammer and wearing the Hades Terminator, he was more than three meters tall, standing in the fire like a towering iron tower, unshakable.

And he exuded unparalleled pressure all over his body, and the Chinese characters flashing on his armor seemed to be able to sense every vibration and threat in the air.

Gabriel's helmet had already been unfolded, revealing a resolute face, with eyes as sharp as a blade, staring at Orson Krennic in front of him.

! ! !

Under the gaze of those cold eyes, an uncontrollable fear suddenly surged in the depths of Krennic's heart.

His back was cold, and the whole person seemed to fall into a bottomless ice cellar. His limbs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead and could not move.

And what was revealed in those eyes was not a simple threat, but a kind of scrutiny and judgment.

Gabriel did not speak, but his presence was like the judge of death, nailing Krennic's heart.

Krennic's breathing became rapid, and he wanted to turn around and run away, but found that he could not control any part of his body.

His legs were as if they were rooted in the ground and could not move. Every time he tried to take a step, it seemed as if he was bound by some invisible and captureable force.

Fear was churning in the chest of the director of the Galactic Empire, and his muscles were tense, as if they were about to tear apart at any time.

The feeling of helplessness spread all over his body, almost completely devouring his sanity.

Just when Krennic's fear reached its peak, the death soldiers in charge of the guard took action without hesitation.

Facing the unshakable Gabriel, their attacks seemed useless. All the blaster beams were offset and bounced by the looming psychic shield before they touched Gabriel, and emitted a low echo.

Therefore, the death soldiers no longer engaged in meaningless consumption with Gabriel.

Ten soldiers stayed in place and continued to suppress Gabriel with firepower. Their blasters fired wildly, trying to break the indestructible defense.

Several other death soldiers dragged Krennic out of this place and rushed towards the shuttle at the other end of the apron.

And Krennic's legs still seemed to be filled with lead. Fortunately, with the drag of the death soldiers, he was able to move forward and leave, but his steps were a little staggering.

Bang-bang-bang-!

Suddenly, several dull noises sounded in succession,

Thump.Thump.

Then, a "heavy object" fell from a height.

Krennic did not dare to look back, but the director knew clearly that the ten death soldiers responsible for the rear guard had been "knocked away" by Gabriel's power hammer, and fell heavily in the distance, without any movement.

Boom, boom!

Then, there were the shocking steps of the giant running wildly.

Every time Gabriel stepped on the ground, the roar deepened Krennic's fear.

At this moment, the director's mind was blank, and he could even hear his heart beating violently in his "ears".

Now Krennic did not consider anything else. The only remaining reason made him have to make the most correct choice, which was-

"Surrender! Don't! Don't kill me! I surrender!!"

That is to survive.

If you die, you will really have nothing.

Krennic's voice was almost a roar, with a broken tone, carrying incomparable fear and pleading.

This cry contained all of Krennic's despair, as if the sound of begging for mercy could be the only life-saving straw.

The current director no longer insisted on the arrogance and "nobility" of the empire, but completely put down all his dignity and begged for mercy from Gabriel behind him, praying that the giant could forgive him.

?

Krennic's actions stunned the remaining death soldiers, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

The boss's begging for mercy obviously made them waver, and their inner loyalty to the Galactic Empire and absolute obedience to their superiors had a fierce conflict at this moment.

But at the moment of their hesitation, a strong sense of oppression came again-

Gabriel's power hammer stopped above their heads, and the heavy metal breath almost squeezed the air into actual pressure, locking every breath of these soldiers.

The hammer head revealed a silent threat, declaring that any action would cost their lives an unbearable price.

"Put down your gun!!! Put down your gun! Do you want me to die?! Ah!!"

Krennic could no longer endure such horror, his voice tore through his throat, almost shouting with madness and despair.

Every word was a desire for life and a resistance to death.

Hearing this, the inner turmoil of several dead soldiers became more obvious.

They had always thought that they were the elite of the empire and invincible, but at this moment, facing this giant from the "inhuman" realm, they felt deeply powerless.

Either die with "honor" or choose to obey the orders of the superiors and give up dignity to live.

In the end, they put down their weapons and threw the blasters in their hands to the ground.

The crisp sound of the blasters landing on the ground announced the end of this hypocritical loyalty.

"..."

Gabriel, who was watching this scene from a high position, still had a calm and calm face.

Although his appearance was calm, his eyes revealed a subtle "appreciation".

That look was a recognition of the "loyalty" and "discipline" shown by the death soldiers.

Their performance, whether calm execution in the face of threats or making decisions to protect their superiors in an instant, is worthy of Gabriel's recognition.

The death soldiers are placed in the human empire of the main universe. It is likely that they can only be ranked in the middle level, which is not much different from the auxiliary army injected with Inques serum or the hell paratroopers, and are in the same line.

But the discipline, combat quality, and loyalty they showed in difficult times are qualities that Gabriel values.

He looked at the surrendered death soldiers and couldn't help thinking.

If the captive death soldiers could get some ideological "correction" with the help of the company's "personnel department" and the think tank brothers.

Then these soldiers might be reintegrated into a more powerful force, and even merged into the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons led by him.

As long as the "constraints" in their minds can be completely changed and they can be closer to the spirit of the Thousand Sons, it will be an extremely powerful "amplification".

However, all this does not mean that Gabriel will have any recognition or tolerance for Krennic's behavior.

He turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Krennic again, with no trace of contempt in his eyes.

Gabriel had expected Krennic's plea for mercy.

This kind of surrender out of despair made him not only angry and ridiculous.

As a high-ranking official of the Empire, he should have shown fearless determination and a spirit of sacrifice at the most critical moment, instead of just begging for mercy like he did before.

Gabriel could not understand or agree with this.

According to the information provided by the Intelligence Department, Orson Krennic was regarded as one of the most important figures in the Galactic Empire, with unshakable power and status, and controlled countless resources.

However, in the face of the threat of death, Krennic chose to surrender in this way, and even begged for mercy loudly.

In an important position, one must have the integrity of not retreating and dying unyielding, and would rather die with the enemy than bow down and compromise.

Anyway, Gabriel could not imagine how the Astartes lieutenants under the Primarch would beg for mercy in a humble manner when facing the enemy, so Krennic's performance made him extremely disgusted.

However, Krennic still has its value.

Gabriel was not in a hurry to kill this high-ranking official of the Empire with a hammer, after all, Krennic held some crucial information about the "One Seven" universe (Star Wars).

If they could bring him back to the front-line base and hand him over to their company's think tank brothers, or the technicians of the biological department for "interrogation", they would be able to dig out more valuable intelligence from him, which would be crucial for the next strategic layout.

Then, he slowly moved the power hammer hanging over Krennic and others' heads, opened the communication channel, and ordered calmly:

"Send a Silver Gull to my position to prepare to recover the high-value prisoners."

"Yes, Captain."

After hearing the reply from the other end of the communication, Gabriel used his Hades Terminator to generate a small hard light screen in front of him.

On the screen, a brief battlefield layout emerged, almost instantly showing the current situation of the entire Scarif.

The space station responsible for covering the planetary shield has been transferred to their hands effortlessly under the precise raid of the assault team.

This allowed them and the small fleet formed by the Investigation Department to provide various support for the main force on the surface.

With the occupation of this key stronghold, coupled with the powerful firepower of the fleet and carrier-based aircraft formations, and the efficient operation of the space station, a significant advantage was immediately created in the battle for near-Earth orbit.

At the same time, the Star Destroyer that was forcibly boarded by the 2nd Assault Platoon was also "under the name" of the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons.

Although the brothers of the three teams still failed to completely eliminate all the remaining enemies, as one of the teams successfully captured the bridge and hacked into the data copy of the smart AI through the equipment on the bridge, the control system of the entire Star Destroyer was fully taken over.

The "ownership" of the huge ship at the technical and strategic level has been undisputedly marked as the 1st Company of the Thousand Sons.

The second is the complex facility where he is located.

Faced with the main force composed of their Thousand Sons, as well as the Hell Paratroopers, Elite Veterans and other units, the Imperial Stormtroopers originally stationed in the complex facility had almost no power to resist.

The stormtroopers, feared by countless people in the "One Seven" universe, were so vulnerable under the "cruel" attack of the Thousand Sons.

As soon as the battle began, the stormtroopers were unable to resist, and their defeat speed was even faster than the space station, star destroyer and TIE fighter group in low-Earth orbit.

In just a few minutes, the battle around the outbreak complex had completely become a one-sided "massacre".

Originally, gunfire and explosions were coming one after another, but as time went by, the sounds on the battlefield began to become weaker and weaker, and were gradually replaced by sporadic sparks.

So far, more than 90% of the stormtroopers have either been shot dead by the main force or captured in the fierce battle, losing their combat effectiveness, and no longer poses any threat to them.

The remaining few stormtroopers are still struggling tenaciously in the chaos.

Some escaped into the dense rainforest around them, hiding their bodies, looking for a glimmer of hope.

Others decisively took the shuttle and tried to escape to other military facilities in Scarif to seek stronger support.

There are also some stormtroopers and pilots who are eager to save their lives, activate the hyperspace engine desperately, "traveling" to other places without hesitation, completing the so-called escape, and temporarily escaped from the threat of death.

As the situation develops, it will probably not take long to complete the entire Scarif's "ownership" will be temporarily handed over to their 1st Company.

As for what Gabriel thinks is temporary

It was he who knew clearly that although they had a complete advantage at the moment, it would be a matter of time before the counterattack of the Galaxy Empire, especially for such important losses and the maintenance of face, the Galaxy Empire would definitely take extremely tough measures to retaliate.

The Intelligence Department made this clear to them before this operation, and even gave a detailed warning in advance, that is, their 1st Company and the Investigation Department successfully broke through Scarif's defense line and defeated the defenders. The Empire is very likely to send the Death Star, a super weapon, to "suppress".

In addition, the Intelligence Department also specifically reminded that in addition to facing the Death Star and the conventional fleet of the Galaxy Empire, they may encounter one of the peak individuals of the "17" universe, that is, the one who is known as the Dark Lord of the Sith. —

Darth Vader.

In all the information and files provided to them by the Intelligence Department, any information about Darth Vader was given to them to avoid them being too despised by the individual who belonged to the dark side.

Because Darth Vader surpassed the conventional creatures of the "One Seven" universe in terms of strength, skills, and combat experience, and was almost invincible.

In this regard, Gabriel believes that the opponent's strength may not be as strong as the gene primordial, but it is likely to be above ordinary Astartes.

So before launching a raid on Skarif, Gabriel had issued an order to the front line base, allowing the real main force of the 1st Company to immediately cross the space gate and rush directly to Skarif to meet them.

At the same time, he also applied for assistance from the Primarch.

Even though Darth Vader is really unrivaled in the "One Seven" universe, Gabriel has absolute confidence in their "father".
