How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 130: Explosive tail kill
One hour and twenty minutes later, Galatan Star Fortress arrived at the tactical position at the right time as planned.

The Nova Warriors, Gray Knights and other combat personnel stationed on the Star Fortress were gearing up for another battle against heretics and betrayers, but when they arrived, they were told that everything had settled - only a few remained. Their help is needed to clean up the battlefield.

This is of course both gratifying and irritating.However, when they saw that facing the menacing and huge fleet of the Night Lord, there was only a lone light cruiser painted with the Dark Angel logo, this feeling turned into doubt and vigilance.

Immediately afterwards, they received a communication from the Macragge's Glory.The Imperial Regent himself spoke to them personally, inquired about the current situation, and told them that this was a mistaken order that came from an irrefutable security flaw in the system.They need to carefully evaluate and judge the current situation, and on the ship a little further away, the Dark Angel with black armor is believable.

During this process, Robert Guilliman's voice was as calm and confident as ever, but anyone who was not blind could see that he was clearly suppressing the anger in his heart.However, the negative impact that the regent's seal may have been forged is indeed very serious. No one thought deeply about this anger. The entrusted battle group only started to complete the redistribution step by step after a short period of chaos caused by scheduling. Task.

Full of questions, they contacted the Lion's Mane and immediately confirmed that all the Night Lord's ships had deactivated their weapon systems and lowered their void shields. They slowly approached the star fort with a ready-to-kill attitude.They sent out a small force to tentatively land on several random Night Lord ships. Later, while performing this mission, they discovered more unexplainable facts:

The dust had indeed settled - they had encountered no decent resistance, the mortal crew had trepidatiously submitted and obeyed the Astartes' orders, and most of their renegade cousins ​​had become... in shambles.

To the Astartes, the scattered corpses were nothing to fear, but the manner in which they were created was unsettling to all.There were no marks from bullets or swords, no lingering smell from burning promethium, no traces of damage from energy beams or any other conceivable weapon.These dead Night Lords were struggling in place, but there were no remaining clues to prove what caused them pain and left such damage.

During the fifteen-hour cleanup process, the Empire cleared [-] corpses from the Chaos ships, presumably belonging to the Night Lords Astartes.The reason they had to use such an ambiguous description in the report was that the vast majority of these corpses had been turned into pieces of meat in the power armor - a simple environmental survey and autopsy could conclude that they were being treated like this. Chopped” while still surviving for a long time.

Among the more than 8000 corpses, there are still about 1 that barely maintain a complete human form.Although they have obviously suffered similar inhumane torture, and have experienced injuries where their skin and flesh were peeled off inch by inch, but to put it more cruelly, based on the injuries alone, this may affect their actions and even make them dying. , but it should not actually kill a transformed Astartes warrior.

They didn't understand what was happening to these Night Lords, but Konrad Curze knew it.The Primarch of the Eighth Legion was once again defeated by his own cowardice and failed to carry out the trial he originally set to the end.In this process, there were only about 500 descendants who actually "passed" the road of judgment. At that time, there were still 430 people who were still experiencing pain and torture under his essence, but he still Choose to stop everything.

He let go of the connection of the contract, took back his own essence, and watched what happened next with only the most basic sensing ability - and then, he desperately discovered that after he stopped what originally happened in the subspace, everything After returning to reality and the rules of physics, many of his descendants who struggled to survive his trial, specifically, eleven thousand five hundred and two, died quickly within the next 10 minutes.

The physical damage caused to them by the trial should not be able to kill them. What really kills them is the sudden relaxation after a long period of extreme tension.The fact that an Astartes with a strong physique and two hearts would die of heart failure might rank among the most ridiculous jokes in the galaxy - if there is such a thing.

However, such a ridiculous joke happened eleven thousand five hundred and two times on this day, on this fleet, and beyond anyone's expectations.
-
"I don't want to talk to you." The image of the Night Lord's original body was erratic under the projection of the empire's standard communication equipment, like a weak ghost.

"The fleet you are worried about has surrendered. Apart from the 430 and three Night Lords who are still alive, there are only the corpses of my descendants and about 14 people who have been frightened by them and whose spines have been broken. Mortal. I have relieved you of this crisis of being attacked from both sides. All you need to do is to clean up the remaining mess a little bit - isn't this what you are best at? So don't bother me now and let me be alone. quiet."

"Do you think I bothered to contact you just to hear you boast like this?!" Robert Guilliman had veins on his forehead and shouted at the device with a red face.He was indeed so angry that the other party forged his seal, sent private orders and other things, and almost lost his mind. However, the sensitivity of the original politician also made him notice at the same time that the current Konrad Kor He was acting very different from the one he had remembered earlier.

The body of Curze in the communication image was stained with a little blood and dirt. He looked pale, melancholy, cynical, and neurotic. He was completely different from the one Guilliman had seen in the Lion's Mane's meeting room just over a day ago. The renegade Primarch, who was clean, content, and spoke without scruples around Fujimaru Ritsuka, was almost completely different from the other two.

The current Konrad Coates behaves much closer to the state he performed 1 years ago.

These thoughts only lingered in his mind for a microsecond, and did not affect the imperial regent's next angry rebuke: "Don't you know what you did before this?! Your behavior has a negative impact on the entire fleet, and even the entire empire. The chain of command has caused a devastating blow! Have you considered the possible consequences of all this?!"

"I helped you find a vulnerability that existed in the system 1 years ago. You're welcome." Coz in the video said wanly, "As for why I did this, it's because I was bored. Before you When you decided to lock me up, didn’t my little warden remind you that you’d better find something interesting for me to do?”

This kind of self-righteous behavior made Guilliman angry for a moment.He was stuck for a moment, so he was unable to stop Cozz's next words: "Where is Fujimaru Ritsuka? I have something to see her for."

"She is recuperating." Guilliman replied instinctively, and then remembered his original purpose: "But you don't want to go anywhere, just stay in the Lion's Mane! I will send another trustworthy person of--"

"-and then give away their lives in vain? No matter who or what you are going to send?" Coates interrupted his tirade unceremoniously, "The obvious fact is that you can't lock me up, Robert. I thought what just happened was enough for you to realize this."

After these words fell, they all fell silent briefly.Guilliman remained silent for the time being because he realized that Curze was right. He needed some time to find a way to properly imprison him. It was not that easy to eliminate the system related to genetic testing in the whole process, even if Even the Primarch needed to quiet down and think for a while; Curze, at the same time, surprisingly, was also thinking about something.

"Forget it." After a brief silence, the original body of the Night Lord spoke first with a bored expression, "Call your people over. Do whatever you want, as long as they don't disturb me and let me be alone. Just leave it alone. I've killed enough... things today, and I'm tired of it - no matter who or what you sent, they should be grateful for this."

After speaking, he unilaterally cut off the communication without even looking at Guilliman's reaction.While the latter felt an almost uncontrollable rage, he calmly and rationally realized that Kurtz must have encountered something during this period.
