God Emperor’s Angel of Death

The siege of the Hades nest capital is over. Although there are still a lot of green skins in the nest capital, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated and dispelled without the leader.

After the war, one thing is about to be faced, one thing that every commander is most unwilling to face.

Count the casualties.

Originally, this was done by the political commissar of Yarrik, but the two-year siege has completely drained his mind. When Soshian saw the opponent again, he could not recognize this man. The gray-haired old man is the former high-spirited and vigorous political commissar.

Arik's body almost completely collapsed. Even if the green skin does not come up, after a while, his body function will completely decline and then die.

Even after he was sent to the medical cabin, he did not wake up until a week later.

As a last resort, Soshian took his place.

In fact, there is no way to count the specific casualties in a short period of time, because the losses are too heavy. According to rough statistics, only 100 million soldiers and civilians survived in the Hades Nest, and the original nest city There are more than 3 billion people.

As for Space Marine, Astral Knight had good luck. The recruits did not lose, only a few were injured, and they were slightly injured.

But on the side of the Holy Blood Angel, there is a big loss. The ten warriors who came to support have four blood on the battlefield, and the leader of the think tank is whereabouts unknown, and the probability is already bode ill rather than well.

This makes Soshian very guilty. It is precisely because of his strategy that Hades Nest will suffer such a huge loss, and Yarek will be able to sustain it for so long.

Although the nest was defended, he did not have the slightest joy of victory.

While he was busy dealing with the aftermath, an unexpected person suddenly found him——

At that time, Soshian was doing official duties in the governor’s residence, but the recruit Bahram suddenly Asked to see him, although a little strange, Soshian dispersed him.

Hearing heavy footsteps stopping outside the door, Soshian put down the data pad and said softly:

"Come in."

The door opened. Bachram saluted, then walked to the red carpet of the house, and then in Soshian's unexpected gaze, one-knee kneels fell in front of him.

The light from the candle swayed on the firm lines of the recruit's face and dyed his black hair with a deeper golden radiance.

"What's the matter?"

Soshian's surprised words passed through the room, as if the blade of an executioner slashed through the whetstone.

Bahram was silent for a while before answering. He lowered his head, as if considering how to express his meaning in the simplest sentence.

"I killed a combat cultivator."

He said slowly, his voice was low but still calm.

Soshian did not respond.

The recruit then lifts the head, and his scorching gaze meets the long, calm gaze of Chapter.

"I killed the think tank of the Holy Blood Angel Chapter, Calistarius."

Soshian did not act very surprised, because he already knew from Armin, It was Bahram who saw the think tank last.

"Recruits, can you tell me what happened at that time?"

Bahram was nodded, and he narrated everything that happened that day without missing a word.

Half an hour later--

The hall was silent, and Bachram bent his head as he recounted what he had experienced.

After speaking, he raised his head and looked directly at Soshian's gaze.

After listening to everything, Soshian was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly and said:

"You already know what black anger is?"

"Yes, the company commander told me afterwards."

Soshian stared at the recruit’s face, and then realized that the opponent’s face was the same line of determination as his own, and he also had black eyes and Black hair-their commonalities are not limited to the genetic inheritance of the original body, they are also from the same world.

"What do you think of this curse that plagues the holy blood angels."

"That...it's unfortunate."

"But you What I don’t know is that every Primarch has its own special power, and San Giles’ power is foreknowledge. He already knew that he would fight Horus, and he also knew that he would die in this battle. , But he still chose to do it."

"But..."

"This is the choice of the Sons of San Giles, the moment they became Space Marine , They rush to death at a speed far beyond others. This is foreseeable... Even though they have so many defects, they do not regard this defect as a shame, because it is their and passing away. The only remaining bondage between the Primarchs."

"But if there is no such thing as what I said..."

Bahram hasn't finished speaking yet, Soshian He raised his hand and interrupted him.

"I only have one question for you, if you and Calistarius brother were to switch roles, what choice would you make at that time?"

Bachram was speechless right.

"Your silence is the answer."

Soshian said with a smile:

"You have no crime worthy of repentance, I believe Kalista Brother Russ made the final decision, not because of your verbal stimulation. Your behavior is an achievement that you should recall proudly. You saved thousands of civilians and saved them from death and terror."

"But that is a think tank. If my language is not so strong, maybe—"

Bachram shook his head and said:

"Imperium needs warriors, and even more so right now. Even the losses of an ordinary combat cultivator are extremely serious failures. I should be solely responsible for this."

"No, you are wrong. , Imperium needs humanity."

Soshian seriously corrected:

"This is a very important reason for our existence to protect all mankind, regardless of their status and identity. How humble.... On the other hand, what you said is right, the preciousness of a fighting cultivator, so those civilians who are saved will never forget that their lives were exchanged for a God Emperor warrior, those Child, in their future lives, will grow into a strong and upright person, and remember the sinister threats to Imperium, knowing that he always needs to be on guard."

Bahram thought about Chapter Long story, nothing said.

"As long as we continue to dedicate ourselves to victory, the future of Imperium will be unharmed. If some of us die because of it-even you and me, there is no need to grieve. This is our mission. You should not Then blame yourself, we all have to bear these inevitable things, we are the angels of death of the God Emperor, we are side by side with death."

Bahram is still silent,

"This is a difficult class, a class that you must always review. In the future, you may sacrifice your comrades who are with you day and night."

Soshian finished speaking, stretched out and wore a cover. Armored hands.

Bahram was stunned for a moment, then grabbed it, his palms pressed together-it was more like a handshake between brothers than a handshake between a warrior.

"We are the torch that illuminates the darkest hour of mankind, and this dark hour is the moment. May you and I burn brilliantly and never sway, but we will commemorate those sacrificed warriors with this, and The lives we save in the future."

"Long Chapter, I understand."

The confusion on Bachram's face is gone, only determination is left. He is nodded and stood. stand up.

"But you still need to provide the place where Calistarius cultivator sacrificed. Although Gene-seed cannot be recovered, at least we can return his relics to Captain Dante."

"I have reported immediately to the company commander, and he took people to—"

As he said, the emergency communicator in the hall suddenly rang.

Soshian walked over and pressed the button, and then Almin's nervous voice came out.

"Chapter long, emergency."

"What's the matter?"

"We did not find the remains of the Calistarius cultivator!"
