God Emperor’s Angel of Death

This is an ordinary day.

The faint sunlight is basking on the ground that has not been covered by poisonous clouds on Nathan 4, and the heat and dry air are as unbearable as usual.

Less than thirty warriors lined up on both sides of a one-kilometer-long avenue. The wind blowing from the mountain range in the distance moved dozens of faces with double swords and eagles. banner.

Everyone in Chapter is here, including Thor, and even they have attached some decorations to the armor, such as holy emblems and ribbons.

This is a very ordinary day, with only one special feature.

A brother Chapter is coming soon.

As early as a week ago, the Star Whisperer had already sent news that a small Astarte fleet had leapt out of the vast ocean and was approaching Nathan IV at an alarming speed.

Like a sharp blade across the water, the fleet travels along the shortest path through the periphery of the galaxy towards the stopping point of the planetary orbit.

They immediately showed their identity and purpose.

The Chapter Chief of the Ascetic Chapter, personally came to visit the Astral Knights who made great sacrifices in the world engine battle.

When receiving this news, Soshian did not act very surprised, but only ordered his warriors to be prepared.

Because he knew that the other party would come, it was just a matter of time.

Ascetics, who first appeared in the Second Army, are considered the oldest batch of Chapters.

The creator of the Ascetic Chapter, after consulting the God Emperor tarot cards, was guided by the will of the God Emperor to the planet Posule in the Storm Star Domain, equivalent to saying that they are neighbors of the Astral Knight Chapter.

The Ascetic Chapter strictly follows the provisions of the Astarte Scriptures, but due to the influence of the local culture of the planet Posoul, the Chapter still has some distinctive features.

Their fortress monastery The Death Temple is a star fort orbiting around Bozule. The hall of the fortress is filled with rows of skulls cut and carved from the dead Space Marine. The main chapel The inside is filled with skulls taken from the enemy after victory.

Chapter’s funeral ceremony is led by Chapter priests. These priests are recruited from the priesthood of Posoul’s native residents and are called death priests. Many of Chapter’s faith features come from the planet’s local culture.

The brutal tribal wars on Posule created a group of candidates to become Space Marine. This planet is a Dark Night World and has no light all year round, so ascetics are used to low light conditions. fighting.

Under the guidance of a certain kind of thought, even if the newcomers have undergone transformation and implantation surgery, and are guided and instilled with ideas from the Astarte Order, they still retain a large amount of from the planet primordial tribe Customs.

These traditional behaviors include meditation before the battle, eating the enemy’s flesh and blood after the battle-and then cutting off their heads and skinning their bones.

But for others at Imperium, this behavior makes the ascetics seem to be wandering on the edge of heresy.

They are often looked at with suspicion by other Chapters, but so far, they are still the most steadfast defenders of Imperium.

For the barbaric culture of this Chapter, Soshian had already heard a little about it after coming to Nathan 4, so he was more cautious about this meeting besides welcoming it.

In addition to Astarte, there are thousands of servants who serve in Chapter gathered here, but they can only look at it from a distance.

The narrators of Chapter history are also blocked from a distance, among which is included Soshian's private copy machine servant.

The dignitaries of Nathan 4 were completely blocked from today's ceremony, which made their frustration obvious.

But this is a meeting between Astarte, a private matter, Soshian does not want to let irrelevant personnel in.

Although the weather is very good, the tension here is hard to ignore. The warriors' too rigid and standard standing posture also reveal their tense emotions.

This is not just an honor guard welcoming Brother Chapter-it is also a display of strength and a gesture of determination.

Although if you just look at the numbers, their determination is actually pitiful.

Soshian is at the forefront of the team, but there is not even an honor guard by his side.

The fully armed, he abandoned some of the fine decorations on the armor and chose a simple aesthetic that is more suitable for going straight.

A black cloak was hung on his back, a helmet decorated with temple hairs towered like a peacock's luxurious tail, and the Sacred Yan sword hung on his waist.

Besides the priest Yazdan, Sol is beside him.

The opponent is wearing a plain Battle Armor and a helmet, which looks like an ordinary warrior.

Soshian looked up and saw that the sky was like a white-hot metal plate about to be topped.

He probably won't see the iron-gray vehicles until they are close at hand, but he still looks at them.

"It took them so long to get here, and when we lined up to meet them, they weren't in a hurry."

In the team, Armin couldn’t help but complain. The sound is only transmitted inside the helmet.

"The so-called local tyrant's smelly problem."

Falzad said that today he deliberately created a shape closer to the rough warrior.

"Is it right, Ustad?"

Ustad is nodded, and there is no more to say.

"I heard that their home planet is a barbaric world. They recruit new recruits from Barbarian."

"Ha!"

Falza De said softly with a smile:

"They sound the same as me, I almost start to like them."

"Yes, your kind."

p>

Almingno teased:

"You will definitely see it at first sight."

"Just say what you like, but don't think I can't see it. You are trembling."

At this time, Armin’s anxiety pulled Ustad’s thoughts back to reality. He lifts the head and saw two sharp gray thunder eagles from the dark yellow one. in the sky dived down, falling quickly as if the engine had failed.

They screamed, and the tip of the wing dragged a bright and hot trajectory.

"They are in a hurry."

Falzad also noticed, and his voice changed a bit.

"Is this a good thing?"

"No."

Falzad's voice was full of vigilance.

"I don’t feel it, there is a kind of hostility, like two tribal leaders showing off their strength and showing off their weapons when they meet."

"You can feel their thinking ?"

Almin asked curiously.

"It's not difficult, as you said, we are all Barbarians, and I know how they deal with people."

Falzad tried to keep his voice steady.

Ustad did not participate in their conversation, but quietly watched the two Thunderhawks fall from the sky, calculated their trajectories, and realized that they would miss the scheduled landing area .

"Something is wrong."

He said softly:

"They flew off."

He just finished talking , Those meteor-like Thunder Eagles changed their trajectory again, and directly moved towards the team swooped down, seeming to be about to smash a devastated crater in the square outside the monastery fortress.

Soshian also realized that the opponent's flight trajectory was something wrong, and he couldn't help but guess whether it was a mechanical failure or something darker.

Just when everyone was convinced that they had not had time to land safely, the Thunderhawks suddenly started their reverse engines and crashed into the square at the end of the road in a tsunami-like roar.

Exhaust gas and smoke are ejected from their landing point, and the hot air is like a hurricane.

Except for Astarte, everyone is struggling to resist the jet stream of Thunder Eagle alone.

The thick dust cloud has not dissipated, and Thunder Eagle's springboard has crashed down.

The silhouettes wearing black and white armors emerged from the rolling smoke. They were swift and steady, clad in bones, as deadly as sharpened blades.

Leading them is a tall silhouette, the warrior with carved bones all over, full of pure and simple aggressiveness, coupled with the sharp sickle with silver light on his shoulders. The blade and the huge scythe with the ebony handle flashing faint rays of light are like the manifestation of the word "death".

There is no doubt that he is the Chapter Chief of the Ascetic Chapter, Lord Magyar.
