Chapter 162 Death of Hope (6)

The Space Marines who can be buried in the Dreadnoughts are basically those who have suffered irreversible serious injuries and are only a thin line away from death before they are buried in the Dreadnoughts.

Just by looking at the two words "buried into", you can understand the conditions for entering fearlessness.

But not everyone is buried in fearlessness when they are about to die. Some members of the Iron Hand Legion who extremely hate their own bodies will also take the initiative to enter fearlessness.

Just from this point of view, there is something wrong with Iron Shou's gene seeds.

Arriving at the cabin where the Contemptor Dreadnought was, Liu Haodong showed no mercy to the ten Dreadnought pilots who had rebelled, and directly ordered their execution.

Two of the World Eaters who were awakened by the ruling sage wanted to curse a few times after passing through the sarcophagus, but those who followed Liu Haodong were all his people. Who would care about the curses of these dying people?
To kill these guys, you only need to pull them out of the sarcophagus. Without the sarcophagus that sustains their lives, they will die soon.

And these mutilated corpses don't even contain gene seeds, so their utilization value is even less.

So Liu Haodong asked the servitor to hand these guys over to the Flame Queen to see if it needed these materials that could be made into wet parts.

This can be regarded as punishment for their betrayal!

Ten Contemptor Dreadnoughts were harvested, but now there is a shortage of Dreadnought pilots.

After leaving the Dreadnought Mecha cabin, the 50 space warriors who had just come over from the Fury also came to Liu Haodong to take orders. However, they only came from two teams of 20 people, and the remaining 30 people were still waiting on the tarmac.

"Group all the crew members on the battleship for questioning, and those who are loyal to the rebels will be handed over to the priests accompanying the army." Liu Haodong ordered.

The battleship needs manpower. If these guys are disobedient or stubborn, they can become servitors and continue to serve the battleship. Anyway, the fleet cannot do without Sattus in a short time.

The two teams of soldiers were ordered to leave.

The remaining people, including Wei Dalong and Huang Shizhong, followed Liu Haodong to the apron on the flagship.

Four Word Bearers were killed in the command room before, so Liu Haodong transferred four more people from the Word Bearers on the battleship to join the escort team, including Huang Shizhong.

Huang Shizhong was arranged to ride in the airborne pod with the people of Liu Haodong's company, so he did not parachute to the ground with other escort teams.

After assigning tasks, the group quickly walked towards the flagship's apron.

Fire Queen Liu Haodong said in the communication channel: "When the airborne pod fell, due to the sudden burst of anti-aircraft firepower on the ground, the command room received a lot of communication information and video information."

Liu Haodong had seen this information before, but he didn't pay attention.

Liu Haodong nodded and said, "What are you talking about? Tell me about it."

In fact, Liu Haodong could probably guess what these people said in the communications and video messages. They were just scolding the Word Bearers for having incorrect intelligence.

The Flame Queen said: "Captain Sarna told the Word Bearers that the intelligence was wrong. His company suffered heavy damage. After his airborne landing pod landed, he was surrounded by ultramarines..."

"Ha!" Liu Haodong kept walking and just sneered, which was pretty much what he guessed.

"Consequently Captain Sarna requested an orbital bombardment of the area centered on his landing point."

Liu Haodong paused for a moment, but immediately reacted and headed to the apron at a faster pace, but put away his original smile.

"Lieutenant Bordot informed us that the information was wrong. The Word Bearers landed at a different location than the World Eaters. He suspected that the airborne landing was a conspiracy of the Word Bearers. He asked not to believe the Word Bearers anymore and suggested attacking the Word Bearers battleship immediately. "

"Lieutenant Tartaranza notified via video that the area where they landed was dense with firepower and he might not be able to land safely. Please ask the follow-up troops to change the landing location."

"Ensign Yaldaschi stated that they landed safely. After receiving information from other officers, he killed a group of Word Bearers near them and informed the commander not to believe the Word Bearers and recommended that the planet be attacked immediately. Orbital bombing.”

"Second Lieutenant Alex's video message said..."

The Flame Queen received a lot of messages, more than a dozen messages with similar contents, but none of them requested a retreat.

In this regard, Liu Haodong was not surprised.

Now that war has begun, they won't ask for a retreat because they are the World Eaters.

The Flame Queen then asked: "There is also information about the Word Bearers Legion. Some of the information is here for accountability."

The Word Bearers Legion's drop pods were launched by themselves, so they did not launch towards the area with the densest firepower. They launched more dispersedly.

So even though the number of Word Bearers in the detachment was smaller than that of the World Eaters, they had more surviving teams and officers than the World Eaters.

"Listen to it too!" Liu Haodong said nonchalantly.

The Flame Queen continued: "Captain Musa said that he could not contact Commander Nar, and the Ultramarines on the ground were obviously prepared. He suspected that the information had been leaked."

"Captain Klimat stated that they were surrounded due to incorrect information and sent a coordinate signal requesting bombing of the target area."

"Lieutenant Londo said they were attacked by the World Eaters..."

"Second Lieutenant Sandro..."

"Okay!" Liu Haodong interrupted the Fire Queen. Liu Haodong didn't care much about the Word Bearers' information, and he didn't care much about them being attacked by the World Eaters.

So Liu Haodong said: "Record this information first, and after we receive the battleship, we will support the Ultramarines depending on the situation."

"Received!"

"How did you gain from controlling the sages?"

After taking control of the Priest of Works, the Flame Queen gained a lot of maintenance knowledge and also obtained a clone.

This time the ruling sage is a high-ranking member of the Mechanicus, and he definitely has more knowledge reserves in his storage.

"The database of Dominator Sage Barador is huge, and the content is still loading!" The Flame Queen continued: "But she has gained control of the remaining Skitarii of Dominator Sage."

Liu Haodong didn't know how big a governing sage's database was, but he left professional matters to professionals.

The Flame Queen is an absolute pro at this.

"That's good! Let your skitarii cooperate with the soldiers to recruit the crew." Liu Haodong nodded and stopped asking about the Flame Queen.

The group quickly arrived at the landing pad, where several shuttles and the remaining 30 Space Marines from the Fury were on standby.

Quickly board the shuttle and head to the Word Bearers' warship docked on the space station, the "Anthem" battle barge.The battle barge of the Word Bearers' battleship "Anthem" is not as big as a battleship, but it must have undergone extensive modifications. The size of the battle barge is almost close to that of a heavy cruiser.

Liu Haodong entered the Anthem as Commander Master. As the nominal supreme commander of the squadron, the Word Bearers would certainly not refuse his entry.

They were also curious as to why the World Eaters, who were always known for their bellicosity, did not enter the planet to fight.

Entering the "Hymn", the Word Bearers left behind came to greet Liu Haodong.

Although they did not expect the commander to come, they probably understood the reason why the commander came.

In the same airborne raid, although both sides suffered heavy losses, the number of Space Marines killed by the World Eaters Legion was much higher than theirs.

They also received information from the Word Bearers officers who landed, and they also knew that some World Eaters were angry at them for withholding information and attacked some of the Word Bearers.

But the Word Bearers officers who stayed behind thought they were really unjust!
Who knew the World Eaters were so unlucky? Their airborne positions and anti-aircraft firepower were all very strong.

You must know that from the invasion of the space station to the sneak attack on the planet led by the leader of the Word Bearers, Nar, it was all done by the Word Bearers Legion, and it was also the Word Bearers who were doing the collecting of information.

Now they wanted to say that they knew nothing about the World Eaters. Even Ogryn didn't believe it, but the Word Bearers officers who came to greet the commander really didn't know.

But fortunately, the commander's first words were not to hold the Word Bearers accountable.

"How many people do you have left behind? Can you ensure control of the space station?" Liu Haodong asked.

Fortunately, his tone didn't sound like he was here to ask questions.

Being able to care about the defensive force left behind proves that the World Eater commander in front of him is not a reckless man who can only get angry. No wonder Master, the World Eater officer with the Butcher's Nail, can sit as the commander of the detachment.

This willpower impressed the Word Bearers officer.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, the Word Bearers officer immediately replied: "We have 50 battle brothers left behind, which is enough to guard the key positions of the space station and battleship."

Liu Haodong nodded to express his understanding, and the Word Bearer officer's emotion showed that he was not lying.

"How many prisoners are left in your bottom prison?" Liu Haodong asked.

They had come from Istvaan V before. The World Eaters did not have the habit of keeping prisoners, but the Word Bearers had this habit, especially after they fell into Chaos and believed in the four gods of the subspace, they preferred prisoners.

Various blasphemous rituals require captives, especially powerful ones, and the Word Bearers are particularly fond of engaging in such blasphemous rituals.

Therefore, Liu Haodong judged that they should still have some loyalist legion soldiers captured on Istvaan V.

"There are some more. I wonder how many do you need, Commander?" Although the Word Bearers officer didn't know what the Commander wanted these prisoners for, based on past experience, he might want to use these prisoners to fight in a duel pit.

However, now the Word Bearers officers believe that they, who are in the wrong in this war, can use some prisoners to weaken the gap between the two sides, which is definitely a good deal.

After all, after destroying this planet, the two of them will continue to cooperate, fight all the way, and destroy as much of the Ultramar world as possible to weaken the Ultramarines' logistical supply capabilities.

Too many conflicts are detrimental to cooperation.

"There are still more than a dozen sets of Red Butcher Terminators on the battleship. Let the ruling sages transform the prisoners, imprison them in Red Butchers, and throw them to the ground to support others." Liu Haodong casually made up a reasonably reasonable reason.

The Word Bearers officers knew about the Red Butcher and locked the crazy warriors in the legion in the Red Butcher. When on standby, the Red Butcher was a shackle. When fighting, the Red Butcher was an extremely violent madman who could not distinguish between friend and foe.

Although the Word Bearers officer did not feel that using the Terminators in this way was a wise choice, he respected the culture and characteristics of other legions.

Just like the messy sacrilegious rituals they performed, although the World Eaters looked down on them, they didn't care.

However, just for such a small matter, is it worth the commander coming here in person?

If a World Eater were to come and ask for a prisoner, would he not give it to him?
This made the Word Bearers officer couldn't help but think. Could it be that the commander wanted to use this action to express his trust in him?
It's not impossible, but it feels strange for this to happen to the World Eaters.

The Word Bearer officer nodded in agreement: "What a wise decision. Let the puppet emperor's lackeys kill other puppet emperor's lackeys. This is really exciting."

Liu Haodong waved his hand. Wei Dalong, Huang Shizhong and 30 Space Marines stayed here. Only the members of the escort team followed Liu Haodong.

In this regard, the Word Bearers officer said nothing. Most of his thoughts were on the war on the ground.

The war on the ground was fought to the death, but he was accompanying the commander to see the prisoners. It was inappropriate no matter what he thought, but for the sake of future cooperation, the Word Bearers officer still walked in front to lead the way, but his steps were slower than normal walking. Much faster.

Liu Haodong was also very cooperative in this regard.

The group of people walked very fast, and the servitor following Liu Haodong even had to run to keep up with them.

But there were still a few servitors that gradually fell behind until they disappeared after turning the corner.

However, no one cared about these servitors. When the Word Bearers officer saw that the commander was cooperating with their speed, he immediately understood. It seemed that the commander was also worried about the war on the surface of the planet, which was why he was so cooperative in performing such a show.

Because the group of people had been moving very fast, it didn't take long for them to reach the bottom prison of the battleship.

There are many prisoners here, not only Space Marines, but also some mortals and even Eldar.

However, these mortals generally have some symptoms of corruption, but the Space Marines are not obviously corrupted.

Seeing Liu Haodong and others wearing power armor with the logo of the World Eaters Legion, the originally dull Loyal Legion soldiers in the prison immediately became energetic.

There was a space warrior on Liu Haodong's left hand who cursed vigorously: "Damn traitors, let's have a fair duel! Killing you won't be much more difficult than killing an insect, you cowards."

The man's mouth was cut open, and when he opened his mouth, his words were leaked. Liu Haodong still had to guess and figure out what he was talking about.

Moreover, many joints on his body were cut open, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed to the air. His body was tied behind a pile of chains. Each chain was connected to a bone, and the chain on the shoulder blade was the largest.

Having been tortured in prison for an unknown amount of time, this warrior's body was very thin, like an Eldar bean sprout compared to the majestic World Eaters.

Liu Haodong pointed at him and said: "This one!"

Naturally, the Word Bearers stepped forward to open the prison cell and pulled out the weak Loyalist warrior.

When the other loyalists saw that Liu Haodong had really brought out the abusive loyalists, they immediately became energetic, and those who could speak began to scold Liu Haodong.

This made Liu Haodong very unhappy.
