NABC Chapter 72 The Emperor's Power
Chapter 72 The Emperor's Power
The Black Lions' warships were docked in near-Earth orbit around the planet. As a series of orderly flashes of fire appeared below, objects trailing long wakes crashed into the planet's surface.
This was the drop pod within the Astartes Chapter. One by one, Astartes gripped their bomb guns tightly, their hands rubbing and shaking rhythmically as the pod descended.
The armor's outer walls rubbed against the atmosphere, igniting walls of fire that shone brightly in the sky like twinkling stars.
boom--
With a loud bang, an airdrop pod slammed onto the ground.
Smoke and dust billowed, and gravel flew everywhere.
The locations where the Astartes were dropped had already been plowed up by orbital bombardment, so their landing was now proceeding with ease and composure.
As the hatch opened, Astartes from the Black Lion Chapter, clad in dark green power armor with embossed black roaring lion heads on their shoulder blades, charged out, brandishing explosive muskets.
Behind them, transport planes landed rapidly under the cover of Thunder Eagle gunboats, and various supplies and auxiliary troops quickly emerged from the transport planes to begin constructing the most basic positions.
Tie Hui and Cage were also heading towards the ground aboard the Thunder Eagle gunboat.
In this battle, Monkar Gaz personally led his troops to the ground, and only sent two companies of Astartes warriors.
As for the think tank team, he directly pulled down two-thirds of them.
After all, we are facing a chaotic demon, so it is only natural to be cautious.
As the Thunderhawk gunship carrying Ironhide and Cage landed slowly, Moncal Gaz and his crew went aboard to greet them.
The hatch slowly opened and landed, and the two figures stepped out of the gunboat. Moncal Gaz stepped forward first and gave Cage a fairly warm hug.
Although Cage responded, his movements were somewhat stiff.
After all, the relationship between the Black Sanctuary and the Dark Angels wasn't exactly good.
During the Ofidim Bay incident of 998.M41, an entire company of their brothers were mowed down by these guys.
The reason is quite simple: it concerns the fallen angels.
In an alien empire ruled by fallen angels, the Black Sanctuary and the Dark Angels unexpectedly meet on the same mission.
In the ensuing battle, the Black Templars were the first to capture the Fallen Angels.
Fearing their secrets would be exposed, the dark angels used their numerical advantage and massive fleet to force the Black Sanctuary to hand over the fallen angels.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fallen angels were obtained, the dark angels launched an attack.
More than 90 brothers were killed without exception.
Moreover, this is not the only issue; the two groups also have very conflicting cultures and habits.
He felt particularly resentful when he saw the group of think tanks following behind Moncal Jaz.
If Iron Hide is a psionicist, why is Cage willing to accept him?
That's because Cage really felt the Emperor's warm aura from Iron Glow, plus the guy did have some good stuff on him.
Even if he hates psionicists, he can still reluctantly accept it.
Moreover, the past few days have been relatively harmonious, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dislike psionicists.
Especially the psionicists of the Dark Angels.
Moncal Jaz clearly saw through Cage's thoughts, after all, he was quite familiar with the past between their two legions.
But given the current situation, let's prepare for battle first, since the opponent only has one Astartes and one psionicist.
They have the upper hand!
More than 100 Astartes and auxiliary troops quickly completed the construction of the position.
Meanwhile, the think tank members formed a circle, all bowing their heads and silently chanting unknown incantations.
Of the original 200 Astartes, only about 140 remain on the entire battlefield.
As for the other 60 or so, Moncal Ghazi simply sent them out.
Their mission was to conduct covert raids and reconnaissance in various terrains, with their main target being the sorcerer Tzeentch.
The combined psionic power of more than 20 think tanks was extremely strong, even in just a few minutes of whispering.
At the very center, the chief think tank leader, Furloss, suddenly opened his eyes, which were crackling with psionic lightning.
Before him stood a mechanical servant, a creation of a psionicist, holding a beautifully crafted and weighty copy of the Emperor's Holy Word.
The servants' clothes were made of silk and looked extremely luxurious.
But upon closer inspection, the patterns on it actually emit a slow, golden glow.
Those patterns are woven from every word spoken by the great emperor in the imperial pronouncements.
At this moment, with the combined efforts of dozens of think tank members, Tie Hui felt a sudden heat on the imperial necklace on his chest.
Immediately afterwards, the previously somewhat empty subspace became bustling and lively again, and the Emperor once again turned his attention to this place.
Meanwhile, the chief think tank member, Furlos, was somewhat bewildered. In the past, they could communicate with the Emperor's majesty to send down some spiritual energy to enhance their combat power.
But things are going too smoothly right now!
Even if the effects of the Great Rift enhanced the Emperor's control over various parts of the Milky Way.
But this went a little too smoothly.
Chaos re-emerged in the warp. Some warp demons, who had thought the situation had calmed down and were slowly approaching, were terrified by this not-so-large psionic power and fled in panic, vowing never to dare to invade this place again.
Although the psychic power wasn't great, it was the psychic power of a cursed being.
If even a tiny bit gets stuck, it's a true death.
Chief Think Tank Frost, feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, didn't have time to think further and suddenly shouted.
A massive golden psionic shockwave emanated from the formation and spread across the entire surface of the planet.
Wherever it went, anything that was tainted by the chaotic aura was swept away completely.
Those ordinary people who had been bewitched and corrupted were not so lucky; they all knelt on the ground with their eyes rolled back, motionless.
Their souls were taken directly by the Emperor himself, even the sorcerer Tzeentch, who, seeing the situation was dire, had already fled to the Warp.
He was also pulled back to the real world by this spiritual power, as he possessed the souls of many humans on this planet.
If he were to reveal these souls to demons or evil gods, Tie Hui's identity information would likely be exposed.
Even if we don't know the specifics, what if those evil gods or demons have set their sights on Tie Hui?
If a trap were set for him, even an emperor would be left speechless with despair.
That's why the Emperor manifested in this world a second time.
As for whether this area will attract the attention of those demons?
Forget it, all four vendors are still asleep.
It would be truly foolish not to take advantage of this critical juncture and quickly strengthen defenses.
Besides, the reason for making a fuss the first time was because this place is a strategic point.
The second time was due to communication between the Black Lions' think tank members.
