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

Chapter 67 Don’t let anger burn you out together

The causes of many things are complicated, but the means to solve them are actually very simple.The Iron Hand happens to be familiar with and good at this "simple method".

After leaving subspace, the interference to wireless transmission protocols is greatly reduced.The Iron Think Tank, heavy firepower veterans, Dreadnought mechs and Primaris recruits led by Feros became more comfortable when operating together. This force seemed to be alive, flowing rapidly through the intricate blood vessel-like passages inside the ship. And out, they gather in a relatively broad gathering square at the junction of the upper and middle floors.

During the ceremony, the entire ship has been simulated into a food chain.This is what Fujimaru Ritsuka told him.Therefore, the demon from the upper level will regard all other beings in the middle and lower levels as its own food.As long as the Iron Hands gather a team, there is no need to look for that thing - the quality of the ether converted from electricity and the real ether has dropped off a cliff. Even if the demons who have adapted to the real ether gain a form, they will not be able to find that thing. You will feel extra hungry.In order to feed on souls, it will naturally find the group closest to it.

The Iron Father accordingly formulated a strategy to defend against the enemy, aiming to kill the enemy as completely as possible again.

"The enemy is the 'Sapphire King'. Maybe you have heard of this name, maybe not. This is normal." Feros said, "What you need to know is that this servant of the Prince of Darkness once brought shame to the war group. .In the Highland Year galaxy, some of our blood brothers once paid unacceptable losses due to its tricks and curses, but those brothers also poured boiling anger on it and repeled it from the real universe-but these damned The demon always comes back.

"Now, it's back and looking for us again. I have no doubt that it comes with hatred. It wants revenge, wants to cross the boundaries of the 'veil', and wants to taint our souls and bodies. Make us pay—ha!”

Feros made a sarcastic sound that even the electronic synthesized sound could not cover up his emotional expression:
"Then let it try! Are we going to sit still and wait for death? Don't we have any hatred and anger towards it, and no debt to collect? Are we going to let the brothers who fell in the previous chaos die in vain? This damn subspace bastard must pay for the evil it has done and the sins it has committed! Brothers, let us untie the emotional suppression protocol at the right moment, no longer suppress these burning anger, but use Your noble souls bind it and cast it upon the enemy, making known to the servants of Chaos the power of the righteous wrath of the Iron Hand!"

About five centuries ago, when the Chapter suffered heavy losses after the rebellion of the Highland Years and was in dire straits, when the consequences caused by the Sapphire King put the Iron Hands' iron-clad creed in jeopardy, Kadan Stu Nuth's speech in the Eye of Medusa pointed out a new path for the entire Chapter, a path that coexisted rationality and emotion.Now, five centuries later, before the Iron Hands need to face the Sapphire King again, like the echo of fate, those words that have been well-known to everyone once again emerge in the hearts of every battle brother present.

No one had any doubts about Feros's arrangement. The entire team quickly set up simple roadblocks and bunkers in a repressed silence, waiting for the enemy to appear in a tense atmosphere.There was dense anger in the air, as if just a tiny spark could detonate all the battle brothers at the same time - and then soon, the spark that ignited everything appeared:
Judging from the appearance of the enemy approaching from a distance, there is no doubt that it is a Slaanesh demon: pearly white skin, a slender and twisted body, four slender arms extending from the back, and two holding curved arms. The two knives have sharp spikes and crab claws - but that's all.

No more artificial chuckles that echoed from behind the curtains, no clouds of poison, fragrance and stench that seemed to always be around, no more waves of warp surrounding the place to heighten the atmosphere.The shapeless King of Sapphire stands still in shame and resentment. In the previous failures and forced distortion of the ritual, it has lost everything it can lose.There are no more songs from the highest heaven surrounding it, no more jeweled armor and soft and luxurious gauze to decorate it, no more favor from the Prince of Darkness falling on it, even the two scimitars in its hands are so simple. Not like what a Slaanesh demon should have.

It hates everything around it, hates the ship itself that does not fit its aesthetics, hates the steel hand of the enemy at the confrontation, hates the curtain itself that blocks its communication with the subspace, and even hates that it is no longer protected by Pamper yourself.This extreme disgust from nature was quickly transformed into an extreme desire, making it thirst for the blood, pain and soul of all living creatures in front of it.

——Driven by some extreme emotions shared by both sides, the moment the King of Sapphire appeared, the battle began in a way that was neither glorious nor ritualistic.

The first thing that roared out was the barrage of firepower from the Iron Hands.Various explosive bombs, heavy explosive bombs and high-power energy weapons played a very orderly symphony of death in an instant.The trajectories of all the projectiles or energy beams did not interfere with each other, but rushed in a delicate and perfect harmony towards the Sapphire King itself and the inevitable path it might avoid.

In the first moment, the great demon of Slaanesh was indeed stopped in his tracks by such a fine and powerful firepower: the gift of the supreme heaven left it, and on this body made of some false and dull energy, even if Even long-range weapons that would otherwise have been ineffective began to be able to cause considerable damage.Even so, its origins of bliss still found a way out for it in difficult situations.The Sapphire King soon began to dance a strange and elegant dance with the symphony of death played by the Iron Hands with amazing agility and perfect sword skills - it was still a Slaanesh demon after all. The agility and reflexes far exceed those of ordinary people and even ordinary Astartes warriors. The Iron Hands' barrage was carefully calculated and extremely efficient, but it dodged part of it in an incredible way, and then bounced it away with its own four arms. Deflected partially.It moved forward quickly in a wonderful rhythm, and in a few breaths it arrived in front of the temporarily deployed front line of the Iron Hands.

The fact that the enemy broke through the line of fire did not discourage the soldiers. Rather, when they saw the wounds caused by explosive bombs on the demons because they could not avoid it, the battle brothers of the Iron Hands were convinced of the enemy's strength. It's true that he didn't feel morale boosted at the level that a normal demon should have.

The guards at the front of the line began to take out their own melee weapons, and the think tank's staff began to light up with bright white arcs. Two fearless mechas specially equipped with hand equipment for melee combat also stepped forward, trying to attack the incoming soldiers. The Sapphire King within the line intercepted and killed him.Feros did not step forward at this time, even though he was equally angry.As the Iron Father, the commander of the entire battle, he had to ask himself to remain calm and observe the battlefield before things progressed to the point where a final decision was needed.

He noticed that the wounds left on the Sapphire King were healing at an extraordinary rate, so much so that the wounds themselves had already begun to heal at the moment the damage was caused.He realized that some of the rituals in the middle-level main power room were still going on. After losing the blessing of the Supreme Heaven, the energy extracted from the plasma reactor could still quickly heal the damage suffered by the demon itself.

——The efficiency of the enemy's healing itself is indeed very fast, but it is not faster than the efficiency of the battle brothers inflicting damage on it.

This is the result that Feros obtained after careful observation and calculation. Therefore, he is optimistic about the battle itself: the Sapphire King has not been able to cause it in the Highland Year galaxy from the Iron Hands for such a long time. He recovered from the blow and was still very weak. Now he lost the favor of the Prince of Darkness and was thrown out as some kind of experiment.According to Fujimaru Ritsuka, as long as they can create enough flaws in the form woven by the ether, they can naturally banish the demon back to the subspace. If the think tank is allowed to use spiritual energy to deal a devastating blow to its essence , so it is not impossible to completely eliminate it.

The optimistic Feros therefore decided to speed up the efficiency of the attack. Instead of waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka in the main power room to dismantle the foundation of the ceremony itself, he just killed the Sapphire King with the energy supply of the plasma reactor.This strategy went against the original plan, but it could not be said to be an inappropriate decision under the current circumstances. No one among the battle brothers in the command chain raised any questions, and they jointly increased the firepower output and It was carried out resolutely.

But he forgot one thing: the power the enemy unleashes in desperate situations is sometimes unimaginable.

It is true that without the favor of the Prince of Darkness and the blessing of the Supreme Heaven, the Sapphire King is now weak, very weak.But this weakness also brought it "for the first time in its life", incomparably close to the essence that it relied on at the beginning of its birth - and under the leadership of Feros, the storm-like attacks of the Iron Hands indeed brought it Forced into a desperate situation, in the desperate situation, the extremely angry and desperate demon Slaanesh crossed his own Rubicon:
It dragged its mangled body and let out a terrifying scream in despair and sorrow. The scream caused some kind of psychic shock that swept all the steel hands present in an instant.

It was not a scream that originated at this moment, but a terrifying echo that shook the heart and split the liver and gallbladder.It is difficult to describe the emotions contained in that scream, because they are too complex and huge, mixed with the shame of failure, endless regret, overwhelming anger and the frustration of death.That was not a scream that could exist in the real universe, so no one had ever heard a similar sound in their previous lives - but every Steel Hand who heard the sound clearly realized one thing in an instant:
The source of the sound was 1 years ago, in Istvaan V, originating from the deep throat of their genetic father before he died.

This was the last thing they could realize, and after that, there was only overwhelming anger.
