Chapter 535: Light of Hope, Words of Despair
The stand-in pointed at himself with a confused look on his face, while the others gasped.
"Yes, he is the Vice Admiral of the Imperial Navy and the Captain of the Dominator-class cruiser Sabre.
He broke through the storm's obstruction and sent a signal that was received by us. Although there was some confrontation during the process, we discovered the answer after communication.
The face that appeared in his mind was you, who delivered the decree in his most desperate moment.
Let him go to the periphery and tell him that there is hope for survival here, that is us." (Chapter 526)
The substitute was speechless, he was sure that this was the act of his subject Lin Heng.
But what he didn't understand was why he or Farsight didn't let them go to look for N'Gur.
And he did not respond to the previous star language. This was definitely intentional on Lin Heng's part. As a person like him, he could feel that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
"The most desperate...could it be..." The stand-in pondered secretly, he needed more events to verify his thoughts.
I have found some kind of answer in my heart, an answer that is not a good one.
"So, where is this guy called Sparrow now?"
"He led my fleet to the Cassandra system to provide timely assistance to the Imperial Navy.
After I arrived in the wide area, I heard the whispers of Mother Goddess Aisha. Flesh and blood cannot be separated. She told me the location of Caroline.
Lin Heng is indeed important, but I don’t want to be separated from my beautiful daughter anymore.
So, I led one tenth of the hundreds of ships to search for my pearl."
N'Gul stroked Caroline's cheek, and the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
"So, what's your situation?"
This time, facing Engul's questioning, the stand-in told everything, and after hearing that he did not have such a horrifying thing as the mark of the evil god.
Ngur was also in tears, not because he was scared, but because he was touched that his daughter had found the love of her life.
"You protected her very well."
The two men hugged each other, which was the most powerful compliment and recognition to each other.
"So how is your main body doing now, and what are your plans for the next step."
The Tau and the Eldar focused their attention on this mutant human, just like when they explored the Ark of Disaster.
But this time, the two sides’ alliance is no longer based on their own thoughts, but on unity of purpose.
"Prepare the troops, let's go and remove the second crystal maze!"
【Wakus】
"Boom!"
The mountain bombardment was still being fired, but Bisharp was still unsure as the battle line was shrinking kilometer by kilometer.
During this week, seven city gates were breached and only five portals were destroyed.
A large number of Chaos troops rushed into the city, leaving the majestic hive city of Ficilicon riddled with holes.
The street fighting in the city became more bloody, and the fight between the two sides changed from artillery fire to colder swords.
The cold blade pierced into the hot flesh, completely taking away the temperature and erasing each other's lives.
The soldiers stepped forward, trampling over the bodies that had fallen in the alley. With a buzzing sound, another person fell.
"Pulong, plulong" the corpses were overlapping.
The rumbling tank rolled over, but the collapsed upper bridge entrance prevented it from reaching the top of the viaduct.
The car turned around and changed the route to move forward, but from the shadows of the collapsed buildings, soldiers holding missile launchers quickly climbed out.
He aimed at the vehicle and pulled the trigger. A burst of thick smoke spurted out and the missile, dragging a flame tail, overturned the tank.
However, the two guards were not happy because the sound of metal limbs tapping the ground came from behind them.
The blasphemer, who looked like a hairy crab, came over the hill and immediately opened fire with machine guns on both sides when he saw them.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Even though they were wearing bulletproof armor, the caliber of the machine gun could still easily cut them into pieces.
Another group of soldiers wanted to win by sneak attack, but this guy was much more agile than the human-controlled chariot.
The missile sped away, and the Desecrator dodged to the side, and the machine gun on his upper body quickly rotated 180 degrees.
The subsequent ending was still a bloody scene of soldiers.
"Oh!"
The same steel body smashed down on top of the Blasphemer, and the Astartes chainsaw stabbed down and pierced through the opponent's armor.
Before the other party could swing the building into pieces and start firing in an attempt to throw him off, he jumped down by himself.
The Desecrator's main gun locked onto the target, but unfortunately, the melta bomb left in the damaged area made a sound first.
"BOOM!"
The flames and thick smoke never stopped for a second in the city where day and night intertwined, and people were fighting tenaciously for the beliefs in their hearts.
"I know you're anxious, but don't worry. More than half of the players need to switch defenses, so you're safe."
"I don't care about other hive cities, and I don't want their casualties. I only want the Fesilicus Hive!"
Bishop tapped the panel, and the Thinker's screen flickered continuously under the vibration, just like the future of the Hive City.
"Commander, the council is convened, and the communication channel has been established."
"Okay..go get me some water."
Bishop entered the channel, and a holographic image was constructed above the seats. The room was crowded but many of the faces were new.
"Technical Sage, can the Knight Family affiliated with us dispatch two more machines? The pressure on the front line is really too great.
Also, Admiral, as for air fire support, the dispatch frequency has dropped by 25% compared to three days ago. Even one more bomb can help us defend our position!
Governor, can the factories for guns, ammunition, equipment, vehicles, etc. be speeded up? Where are all those merchant ships?
Minister, there are no more people. Professional training is not important. Capture more people from the bottom nest. They are much stronger than ordinary soldiers. "
Bishop took a deep breath and quickly drank the pure water in the glass.
Every time a joint meeting was held, it was an opportunity for him to ask for something. Even if he failed, at least it would let the Grand Inquisitor know that he was not idling away his work.
"Commander Bishop, we know you're under a lot of pressure, but this is not the point of this meeting to discuss that."
Gerald also wanted to be considerate of everyone, but verbal promises were of no use now.
What's more, the news just received made the entire battle situation even more confusing.
"Sage."
The technical sage of the order nodded and stood up, adjusting the desktop projection and saying:
"30 minutes ago, my satellite inspection post sent back a picture of the starry sky, which showed a large Eldar fleet consisting of more than 130 ships of various types.
We have not yet learned the other party's purpose, and the sources of such a large number of ships are very scattered, but most of them carry the mark of Dark Strait."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, especially Gerald. After all, this place was mentioned in Lin Heng’s soul contract.
"It's the pirate prince's troops. Are they here to seek revenge on the Black Legion?" asked the alien Inquisitor Duntor in confusion.
"It's very possible... If that's the case, then is it possible for us to... fight against the Black Legion together with them?"
The admiral's proposal made everyone silent. Since a precedent had been set, it was not unacceptable to fight in conjunction with other aliens.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the enemy is the same and very powerful.
"The Black Legion should have noticed their arrival by now. I guess we can take this opportunity to try to reduce the number of Chaos ships."
As soon as Inquisitor Woodrow said this, other political officials nodded in agreement.
Everyone continued to discuss the existence of this possibility, and after two hours of intense discussion, they heard the technical sage suddenly shout.
", the latest news, the leading ship is the Imperial Navy's Dominator-class cruiser.
The ship code indicates that it is Vice Admiral Sparrow's Sabre of the 4th Fleet Group."
"saber?"
"Sparrow!"
Everyone was shocked and immediately remembered the Imperial ship that had luckily escaped from the battlefield when the Black Legion arrived.
A new picture appeared in front of everyone, and in front of hundreds of ships, leading the way were the Imperial Navy ships.
The other party actually brought Eldar ships with them. Judging from the situation, they must be here to retaliate against the Black Legion's "reinforcements."
"Admiral, gather the navy ships immediately and cooperate with the alien allies to strike at the Black Legion!
Prepare the bombardment, and let those damned traitors know that our resolve is unbreakable."
Commander, I know you're having a hard time, but as long as the ship battle puts enough pressure on them, you'll have a much better time on the ground."
Bishop understood what Gerald meant. Having said that, he also lacked other things.
A series of instructions began to be issued, and various characters were transmitted to various levels along with electrical signals.
Everyone in the parliament focused on the subsequent naval battle. Bishop was stunned for a moment and then disconnected the connection.
Before he left, Gerald interacted with Governor Ulysses and several cardinals.
Before the connection was disconnected, Lin Heng vaguely heard what the other party was saying and felt a little nervous. It was a problem with those worlds.
However, my head was a little confused and I couldn't hear anything.
"Commander, you are finally back. City District 3 has sent a message that the guards can't stop us!"
Bishop closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but his dizzy head didn't feel any better.
"Give me my cigarettes, add some toppings, remember."
The cigarette was lit, and the tobacco leaves emitted a brief but dazzling light, which slowly retracted and exhaled smoke.
"Did you add it?"
"I added it, and...it's still double the amount."
Bishop looked at the curling green smoke, sighed and asked:
"What's going on in District 3?"
"Yes..it's Kahn."
The ash fell to pieces with the vibration, and Bisharp sucked up the rest in one breath, saying with a headache:
"Report to the Council... Is there any image of him?"
Yes, of course there is, how could there not be? And they were all taken by Kahn himself with the Servo Skull.
The Jingguan built with 8, 88, 888, 8888, and so on, each of the skulls is extremely eye-catching, and the 7th one is also being built in an orderly manner.
Each of those bone thrones was constantly flowing with the blood of his warriors, but their bravery was no match for this group of terrifying enemies.
"Light another one."
Especially the one sitting on the throne, constantly refreshing the skull ranking list that pays high tribute to his so-called evil god.
There were even quite a number of guards who, after seeing the bloody scenes that were so stimulating, couldn't help but shout "Kahn, Kahn".
Bisharp was extremely sad, but he could understand those ordinary soldiers. After putting on the green bulletproof armor, they were passed down in the parliament as cannon fodder.
"One more."
Sometimes he even called them that in his heart, and every time he cried out in parliament as if his brothers had died, it was only to get more supplies.
There's no way he can do that. He also has something he's afraid of. Everyone should have this emotion of fear. It's the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
He didn't want to be afraid. If he was afraid for too long, he would fall into a vortex of powerlessness, and over time, the feeling of despair would swirl in his heart.
Intertwined and lingering in my already extremely chaotic nerves, urging me to sink further into the darkness...
"Again..."
"You...can't see the future either?"
"who!"
In the darkness, a voice like a sharp blade cut through the veil of cover. Bishop jumped up with a start, dropped the tobacco he had just lit.
The attendant beside him was startled, and the rest of the command team also looked up and looked at each other in confusion.
At this moment, what Bishop saw and gained was truly a kind of illusion. As he looked towards the broken area of the light, a familiar face appeared.
"Lin..Lin Heng..."
'You are scared.'
"Aren't you afraid? You are hiding in the church of the state religion like a turtle, waiting for others' protection!"
Lin Heng's figure slowly descended. His body was thin and hunched, as if he had experienced some kind of inhumane torture.
That person's eyes, however, did not show any sign of lethargy, which was definitely the opposite of his own.
'You are right, I am indeed avoiding danger.
And I was also afraid, afraid that everything I was experiencing was meaningless and empty.
I am afraid that I will never see the friends I know again.
I was afraid that those warriors who helped me behind the scenes would die in obscurity.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to turn the tide in the end.'
Bisharp's heavy breathing gradually calmed down. He didn't understand why the other party came to him at this moment.
"what are you doing?"
"I will find help for you. Stop Kahn."
The cracks gradually closed and the light became dimmer. When Lin Heng's dry face disappeared, Bisharp realized that his colleagues around him did not know what was happening.
"commander?"
"You smoked too much. Put less next time."
"Yes...that's in District 3..."
Bishop looked at the fallen cigarette on the ground, then stepped on it to put it out, and looked at the Jingguan built with skulls.
His nerves, which had been dormant for a long time, finally became active again, and the bulging veins brought out the anger that had disappeared for a long time.
He made up his mind and said without any hesitation:
"Drive the Imperial Command Hall over there. I want to see if that guy can withstand the bombardment of our main guns!"
