A grenade exploded somewhere to his left, and the shrapnel pinned his armor, and he felt the wet encapsulation on the armor twitching and trembling with the pain.
Then he raised the battle axe, its wolf head screaming in delight and pain, bursting out dense red plasma, facing the helmet of a Dead Wing Terminator.
The other party tried to raise his arms to block it, but was suddenly swallowed by the gorgeous scarlet mist.
The gun in Equisus's hand also thumped at the same time, and two more Krieg soldiers who were shooting fell backwards, twitched, and rolled.
Just far away, a soldier flew over a capsized pier and landed behind a Cadian company. Then its chainsaw sword began to chant, causing one-third of the soldiers in the company to be different from their heads, but he was then beaten into pieces by several explosive guns.
Erquesus's adjutant was besieging two low-end Dark Angel veterans. He had just swung a sword and a pair of flails from the right side, breaking the adjutant's shoulders to make him stand still, and then nailed his helmet with a heavy blow, and the pottery steel splashed.
Erquisus gritted his teeth and roared, and the head of the battle axe turned into a squeaking dragon.
Whenever the Chaos Lord charges, fires, and rushes again and again, the consciousness deep in his soul moans about the pain.
Weak, crazy thoughts seemed to touch his mind as if the spider silk in the dark touched his mind, the shadow danced above his vision, and the eagle emblem that symbolized the empire hovered around him.
The air around him was filled with explosive fire and jets of energy, and the ancient rocks burst into scorching pieces, and anger had taken over his mind.
After dancing wildly for dozens of seconds, he found himself stopping under Cangyu and roaring silently.
The enemy disappeared, the body of the Empire Astart disappeared, and even the gunshots gradually disappeared.
"Um?"
There was no sound or the shouts of companions, and Erquisus was stunned.
The enemy suddenly retreated? When they were about to win?
Confused, he looked back at the messy battlefield and found that the alive soldiers were sitting in the ruins in a daze. The remaining cultists and mutants cried in a low voice under the pain of the wound.
The next moment, he realized why the other party retreated.
He has completely turned into a bait, a bait that has lost its power to resist.
"Bastard! Bastard!!!"
Just as Soshyan commanded the army to attack part of the surrounded Black Legion and deliberately released the sound of wind to stimulate Abaddon, Judgment Leonard Meyers was also preparing to take action behind the Imperial Alliance.
As a representative of the Inquisition Court and the coordinator of the Grey Knights in this battle, he has always been very low-key, not as low-key as a judge.
But being low-key does not mean that he is doing nothing. In fact, as soon as he arrives at Pai Shangxing, he starts to carry out a secret operation, an action that he thinks is more important than destroying Abaddon.
Leonard was a Torite judge, or, more specifically, a Promite judge.
The Torites can be said to be the oldest faction within the Inquisition. The core concept of this faction is very simple, that is, the emperor can be resurrected in some way.
This faction can be traced back to the end of the Horus' rebellion, and the two original founders of the Inquisition - Promuse and Jaliana, explore ways to regenerate the rulers of mankind.
But when Moliana began to resort to the power of darkness in her pursuit, Promuse and his followers exiled the original judge to the eyes of horror, and Promuse's disciples have been exploring ways to reshape the emperor's body for centuries.
Finally, a division among the Promuses, the Horus began to form.
These disciples continued to follow the old path of Jasmine and collected copywriting and classics related to Horus' extreme enchantment. These scrolls regarded as heresy caused the Promuses and the Horus to clash. In the end, the Horus won, but there were still a few real Promuse leftists in M34.
In the end, Stalia von Dresen successfully formed the Anti-Horusian Party Group across the Empire. During her anti-counterfeiting, she spent 20 years on Earth studying the natural methods of the emperor's resurrection and the process of establishing the Inquisition. In the end, she believed that the emperor was basically impossible to resurrect, which led her to carry out a resurrection purge within the Inquisition.
During the M35 period, the Inquisition basically gave up the goal of resurrecting the emperor.
But in the M36 of the apostate era, the resurrectionists once again surfaced. This time, led by Sebastian Thor. After the end of the blood rule of Gug van Dell, the resurrectionism, including factions that were not very close to Thor's own idealists (Thorism) were once again accepted by the Inquisition.
But the Torites at this time had already made a significant difference from the original Promuses.
The Torpedo believed that the emperor's near-death state after the fatal blow of Horus allowed him to finally liberate from the limitations of the mortal body and sublimate into a true pure divine character. Its spirit roams the void, traveling in subspace like whispers, traveling in space and even time, and the emperor's soul will appear in the container of his choice, but these can only preserve the smallest part of the emperor's boundless magic power, and will soon be born, old, sick and dead.
The Promuses believed that the emperor's spirit could be transferred to a fixed host, who was called the sacred incarnation, but many judges opposed this proposal because they believed that the empire would fall apart in the huge conflict between believers and disbeliefs, and the result was no different from the Horus rebellion, so the Promuses are now basically extinct.
Leonard Meyers was the few Promites in this era. His fundamental purpose of persuading the Gray Knight to the Pai Shangxing Star was only to serve his goals.
As for the reasons, based on years of research and research by the Promuses, they found an unknown manuscript in a ruin in Amyddoton many years ago. The author of the manuscript did not leave his name, but the predecessors of the Promuses speculated that this was most likely left by the imperial prime minister Makado during the Great Expedition.
The manuscript is not much content, but it is very important to this faction, because it records a shelved plan of the Magic Pattern Makado, which is closely related to the Emperor.
This plan became the focus of attention for more than ten centuries after the Promuses. They continued to study and speculate on the manuscript and finally inferred a location.
Pai Shangxing Star—
There is a key clue in Makado's secret plan on Pai Shangxing, but this clue requires certain conditions to be triggered.
In fact, this evidence that is vague and similar to prophecy is not even worthy of attention in the eyes of many judges, but for the Promuses who have been suppressed for a long time, this is a possibility for them to achieve their ten thousand-year ambitions!
However, the reason why they really convinced that Pai Shangxing was the key place was that an ancient organization had tied up with them, and Leonard Meyers' trip was also related to this mysterious organization.
