God Emperor’s Angel of Death

In the beginning, some people were murdered, but more people disappeared after being kidnapped. Most of them were non-religious people and disappeared into the night in silence. There is no trace left, and there is no evidence of where they were held and who kidnapped them.

Then, it was the local Archbishop who invited all Astra Militarum officers to the ceremony, but did not say anything about the transport fleet on the track.

Arik was the first group who noticed something wrong. He urgently recalled all the soldiers and quickly built a line of defense.

Facts have proved that what he did saved the entire 4337 regiment.

On the same day of the celebration, they lost contact with the orbital transport fleet, and then angry mobs began to attack nearby Imperium institutions and offices.

Even the rioting crowd quickly flooded the left-behind local legal department, dragged the legal officer inside to the street, hacked into pieces with a knife and axe.

The people who were dragged away were dismembered without exception.

Then the mob lit Imperium's eagle emblem and threw everything related to Imperium into the fire.

Several soldiers of the 4337 regiment who went to the onlooker ceremony managed to escape the fate of being murdered and kidnapped, and fled back to the station.

Later, when these survivors told their stories.

They mentioned that all of them suddenly broke out crazy killings, full of suddenness and drama.

A primordial act of wildness, without warning, suddenly came to those pilgrims.

One minute before, people were normal and pious. Then came the shocking terrifying violence.

At first, Yarek thought this kind of violence was crazy or out of control.

But according to the survivors, the situation is just the opposite. The believers' attitude towards the killing is send cold shivers down one's spine.

They are tightly organized, as if each of the thousands of insurgents knows their role in the riot and the timing of their tasks.

This is the most terrifying point. People are as perfect and accurate as machines.

These rioters and all their accomplices, there is no evidence that they have communicated and contacted each other, but their actions are perfectly and without blemish.

Even if some parts of their plan fail, the remaining people can quickly adapt to new changes and circumstances without communicating with other insurgents.

This is still an unsolved mystery until now, but it is no longer the most pressing problem facing Astra Militarum, who is left on the ground.

From the outbreak of the rebellion to the present, they have fought the enemy dozens of times. Although they have repelled the enemy's attack each time, their positions have been constantly compressed.

What’s more serious is that several of their regiments were completely divided and unable to support each other. One regiment suffered the most damage during the early-stage rebellion. The commander of that regiment did not follow Yarik’s advice. Went to participate in the celebration, and many soldiers also screamed.

After that, less than half of the soldiers were surprised to find that their former comrades were attacking them.

According to the last Wireless Electronics communication, Arrek judged that they had been completely wiped out 5 hours ago.

This is the abomination of these cultists. When you fight with them, you also have to fight against the people of the planet, priests and workers, rich, poor, and ambitious. With the noble and selfless... and even the former comrades-in-arms.

Everyone is a potential enemy.

But for those soldiers who serve with him, they don’t need to know so much.

After all, the tragic truth often turns into fear, making it difficult for them to pull the trigger.

Regardless of the reason, the soldier who gave up fighting will find himself facing his black hole and accepting punishment.

Yes, discipline.

Arik was born to make such a decision, a hammer to judge those who violated military discipline.

He knows exactly what it means to pull the trigger to his comrades, and what this duty makes him, but he knows that his actions are not driven by anger or hatred, which would undermine his actions The legitimacy of it makes it indistinguishable from crime.

Because his duty is to eliminate weakness.

"Fool..."

Miller muttered and walked forward, squatting down to pick up the status token hanging around Havel's neck.

His status token will not be sent back to the hometown with the soldiers who died in the honorable battle, but will be destroyed after the war, and Havel’s name will disappear with his status token. In the middle of the fire, in the long river of time, forgotten by everyone.

Except for him, Yarek.

He never forgets his dead comrades, it has nothing to do with honor.

"Political commissar."

It is the voice of Lieutenant Miller, rough and vicissitudes of life, just like others.

The company commander is tall like most Astra Militarum, with three deep scars on his left face from the hairline to the cheek.

The warriors all said he was lucky, because he miraculously managed to keep his eyes in the fierce battle of Frenxing. They all said that he must have been favored by the God Emperor, or he himself was. The blessing of fate.

But Yarik doesn't believe in luck. He believes that Miller survived because he was fighting for every breath like everyone else.

"The front end of the station has been lost."

Miller took Havel’s status token into his pocket, and this blood-stained status token was issued in the pocket with others Crisp metal crashing sound.

"According to the strength of the enemy's attack, we may not have more strength to continue to defend here."

Arik leaned in front of Miller, lowered his head and looked at his hand. The dust-covered screen of toni, the counterattack troops organized temporarily entered the station about ten minutes ago. At that time, there were more than one hundred soldiers guarding the station, but now there are fewer than thirty people left.

A large number of areas have been occupied by the enemy, and they continue to attack other areas.

"But we must keep here."

One of the reasons why Yarek attaches so much importance to the station is that there is a large signal transmitter here, although it is The communication is still interrupted, but as long as the launcher is still working, it is possible for them to regain contact with the fleet.

At that time, they had hope of surviving.

Once the signal transmitter is lost, then only a slow and painful death awaits them.

All directions are all enemies, they have no probability of breaking through.

"Hold here, there is hope."

Realize that the political commissar is right, Miller nodded.

"One more thing, the scouts sent earlier discovered that there was a large object approaching in the distance. I guess these guys might be planning to use some heavy equipment."

"So we are more We must immediately recapture the station and consolidate the fortifications before the enemy sends something'close' to us, otherwise all the sacrifices we have made so far will be meaningless."

"I understand, Political commissar."

Miller glanced at his squad.

"We will not lose."
