Although he was unable to contact the Dark Angel in time, Soshyan still arranged reinforcements to support him immediately, blocking the Black Legion's offensive in time.
What happened later began to tilt the war to the empire side.
First of all, the Grey Knights lived up to their mission and closed Attica's underground subspace rift, especially the Grey Knight's great mentor Diego, who killed twelve Black Legion champions in a fierce battle, caught Abaddon off guard.
Secondly, the elite troops led by Abaddon were attacked by an unknown force on the way to attack the Dark Angel, but the specific details were not clear. All this came from high-altitude reconnaissance reports. At that time, a storm crow patrolling the battlefield happened to capture some pictures.
It was a group of warriors wearing black armor and with flame patterns on their bodies, with about two hundred people, and the leader was a warrior wearing a Terminator.
It was the man who had a confrontation with the great raider Abaddon for about three minutes.
The whole picture was only two minutes, but the many details inside made Soshiyan very upset.
First of all, the man wearing the Terminator, whose armor was surprisingly similar to Abaddon. Both of them seemed to be mirror images, both had an amber one-eye on their chests, and a terrifying claws on their left hand, but Abaddon held the famous magic sword, and the man held a huge warhammer.
And its helmet is shaped into a very unique appearance of three evil dogs.
When Talos saw this picture, he said directly.
"Isn't this Horus?"
But the prophet shook his head.
"Not right, who is he?"
How can Soshiyan answer this question? It is estimated that only Saveta can answer it.
In the picture, the man was dozens of meters away from Abaddon. The Great Raider seemed to be saying something, and he kept pointing at the other party with his sword.
Then the picture disappeared.
The reason was that the Storm Crow gunboat had some reason for the engine failure and had to find a place to land for a forced landing, so it was unable to continue tracking the follow-up.
But what Soshyan knew was that Abaddon retreated and gave up his plan to siege the Dark Angels.
All the troops of the Black Legion were retracted underground.
This is a good thing for Soshiyan. Although there will be many difficulties in attacking underground, it also means that the enemy has lost the space to move around.
With one move, they will have the opportunity to completely crush the Black Legion and completely destroy Abaddon!
But just as Soshyan quickly planned the next offensive, bad news came-
The main fleet of the Black Legion is here!
The soul of revenge is here too!
Now all the warships of the Empire, including the fleet of the Astart regiment, set out to go to the edge of the galaxy to fight against each other. There are now only the Dark Angels Fortress and several frigates in orbit that are inconvenient to move.
This undoubtedly reveals a signal.
Abaddon is probably going to run away!
Realizing that they were racing against time, Soshyan did not make too many detailed plans, but simply deployed offensive forces in various aspects.
And he had only one order to all the imperial armed forces.
Offense! Offense! Attack at all costs!
Destroying the Black Legion and capturing Abaddon alive became everyone's slogan.
As always, Soshiyan personally led the group to attack the underground, and the area they were responsible for was the passage of the original plague warriors. These Nurgle believers even built a huge temple underground.
This plague temple is a huge room composed of black iron and rocks, with a large number of rotten corpses hanging from the dome, casting narrow and dark shadows on the Knights of the Astral Realm as they strike towards the corridor at the core of the underground passage.
The heavy boots ran through the unrunning lift and crane approached the enemy with a loud echo. Beside Soshyang, Talos and Mark, who had been dealt with urgently after being injured, were also running, and they followed Soshyang closely like two extra shadows.
Because the underground environment was narrow and harsh, Soshyan did not allow the nun to participate in the attack, but asked Villets to lead her sisters to continue to clean up the remaining enemies on the ground.
Similarly, this can also make his battle more focused.
The rest of the group were hidden by smoke and darkness, but Soshyan could still hear them running and fighting, and the light of the bomb gun illuminated the dark environment.
Every breath he inhaled smelled like stagnant water and blood.
This place is so corrupt that a constant hum echoes in the mouths of the wriggling dead bodies.
Here, zombies and cultists were everywhere, pushing and shoving like a tide.
Most of them were originally residents of Attica, and some of the leaders were wearing cloaks made of broken human skin, with bone spurs embedded in the skin.
But not everyone is like this.
In close combat, Soshiyan also saw workers and technical priests, but all their loyalties were pulled out and replaced by the mark of corruption that was carved into the skin.
To survive, they make changes.
This is sad, but cannot be forgiven.
The sigh echoed in Soshiyan's ears as he inserted his sword into the chest of a cult. The traitor was wearing a red uniform, with the patterns of gears and gauges that should have been drawn on it, and a new, hatred pattern was sewn again.
"Praise the kind father!"
The man roared, and blood poured out of his blue ruptured lips.
Soshiyang pulled out his sword and let the body fall to the ground.
"go ahead!"
He shouted into the communicator:
"In the name of the emperor!"
On the front line, every company shouted and broke through the heresy's defense line.
The shout echoed in the decayed temple full of lumps and nodules, rushing to the top of the head.
About four hundred Astartes and combat robots were scattered in the huge underground temple. Each was fighting.
"It embraces us! It soothes us!"
In front of Soshyang, more than a dozen plague soldiers rushed in from the gate of the corridor. They were the guards of this place. Although the lord had been killed, they were still determined to defend the place.
Heresy quickly arranged simple bunkers and directed mortals to set up weapons groups.
The next moment, the bullets brushed the floor and above Soshiyan's head, and the sound was like a winter storm.
"Clear a way out, Mark."
Nothing is more suitable for attacking on narrow terrain than the Terminator. The first company commander Mark quickly mobilized several veterans, holding hot melt guns, and began to launch a fierce attack into the corridor.
The exploding bullets dyed the air around them golden as Maximilian cleared a way to the gate and defended it, and the floor under his feet also ruptured as the heavy Terminator walked past.
He screamed joy when he pulled the Storm Blaster, turning the recent heresy into bloody pieces.
Some mortals start screaming and then start running, but in front of these superhumans, running away is of no use.
