"It's okay, Chapter Leader...it's just that there is no way to leave here."
Upon hearing the words of the first company commander, Santo Joel immediately ran along the wall to higher ground.
By this time, the remains of Reactor No. 2 had fallen to the floor, and the entire cabin was shaking under the weight. Plasma covered the lower areas, swallowed cables, and flooded the streets.
Reactor No. 3 was left in a torrent of plasma. In the lower part of the cabin, the plasma would eat away at other parts and find its way into the debris of other spacecraft around it.
If they are not stopped, it will not take long for the Blood Curse to melt.
Santo Joel came to the top of Reactor No. 3. He saw a string of debris piercing the side of the reactor, and plasma was already spurting out from the wound.
Its cracks are expanding, and with every second that passes, the energy it releases becomes greater and greater.
The Chapter Commander of the Blood Knights followed a cooling pipe to the top of the reactor, where First Company Commander Sherry was waiting for him.
The first company commander grabbed the brother's wrist and dragged him up.
At this time, the No. 3 reactor vibrated and suddenly tilted to one side. Santo Joel quickly raised his head and saw that the pipes were extending outward from the ceiling. They had no way to leave the reactor from that direction. At this time, he looked on the wall again.
To a road that was half melted by plasma.
"Let's go that way!"
Santo Joel shifted his grip so that he could grab the captain by the collar of his armor, drag him behind him, and crawl toward the edge of the reactor at full speed.
At this time, the No. 3 reactor began to split in two from the middle, and pieces of plasma were sprayed out, forming a wall of fire behind Santo Joel as he ran.
Throughout the cabin, metal screamed and plasma roared.
Santo Joel grabbed the metal railing and kept moving forward, trying to get to a safe place before the metal melted. He reached the edge of the reactor, then jumped up with all his strength, and firmly grasped the handrail of the walkway with his hands.
In an instant, the entire walkway was bent under the weight of the two Space Marines.
Then the company commander followed the sidewalk that Santo Joel climbed up, and then dragged the chapter leader up.
"Thank you very much, Chapter Commander."
The company commander was breathing heavily, but Santo Joel shook his head.
"We are brothers, there is nothing to be grateful for."
Then he looked around and saw that Reactor No. 3 had completely split into two parts, and the torrent of plasma flooded the entire lower level.
So Santo Joel stood up and followed Sherry to the cabin door.
As they ran, Reactor No. 3 was completely destroyed, sinking into a burning plasma mire and rupturing.
As soon as Santo Joel closed the cabin door, plasma energy instantly filled the cabin behind them.
"Frank!"
He started calling the tech sergeant.
"Everyone has been evacuated, how is the situation now?"
"I'm going to seal the deck."
As the technical sergeant answered, Santo Joel heard the siren sounding on the bridge of the spacecraft.
"You must proceed with caution, the danger has not been eliminated yet."
"Can we enter subspace?"
"There is only one spare reactor left, but there is still enough energy left. I am working hard - but the success rate is not high."
"Then do it, now we have no choice."
At the critical moment, the Blood Curse once again protected its tortured masters. The warp engine, which had been dormant for a long time, finally tore the void apart. The cracks it created were even darker than the void, and violent energy boiled within them.
The Techmarine immediately let the battleship sink into it, and while the cracks were still devouring it, countless shells were still trying to tear the Blood Curse's shell into pieces.
Following a flash in a certain area of the physical space, the battleship covered in flames of war escaped into the subspace and disappeared.
"Damn it! These traitors escaped!"
On the bridge of the strike cruiser Destroyer, Marshal Austin of the Black Templars slammed his fist on the wall next to the information desk.
The Black Templars, as the earliest chapter formed during the Second Founding of the Imperial Fists, do not follow the Codex Astartes, and their structure is completely different from existing chapters.
Internally, the Chapter Leader is called the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal is familiar with all the legends of the Black Templars and understands all the secrets of the Black Templars. He is the living embodiment of the Chapter, and only he knows how the Black Templars operate in the galaxy.
Exact Numbers - The Black Templars do not adhere to the Codex in their structure, and neither do their numbers, with the Inquisition generally placing the Chapter's strength at between 2,000-4,000.
Below the Grand Marshal are the marshals who are responsible for specific expeditions. Under their command is a combat organization called the Crusaders, but the number of people in this organization is not fixed. Generally speaking, it is equivalent to at least one company, and the marshals all come from the Black Templar.
Selected from the elite force of the Sword Brotherhood - the Sword Brotherhood is equivalent to the first company of other battle groups. The veterans of the Black Templar will be promoted to the Sword Brotherhood and participate in various scattered battles as combat elites.
In the team, receive training in the use of Terminator Power Armor (only they are allowed to use Terminator Power Armor in the Black Templar) or form the Marshal's guard.
Below the marshal is the fortress lord. Generally, a larger Crusade will be divided into several combat companies by the marshal, led by soldiers who are given the honorific title of fortress lord. However, this "combat company" does not mean that there are
At least 100 Space Marines will participate in the battle, and a battle company may even have only ten Space Marines, which is closer to the "tactical squad" organization of the Codex team. The specifics will depend on the actual combat needs.
"Damn it! It was supposed to be destroyed under the Emperor's gaze! It had a chance, but now it has escaped!"
A cold-faced inquisitor stood next to Austin, watching the peeling fragments of the battleship displayed on the screen, and then spoke:
"Marshal Austin, I suggest an immediate pursuit. Even in the most secluded areas, a seriously injured warship will leave traces. We will not lose it for too long."
Austin calmed down, and his rock-like face twitched twice. Originally, he was leading the team to the Donian sector to plan an expedition, but he was summoned by the Inquisitor on the way. He hated the traitors and the
Being a traitor, he immediately responded to the Inquisitor's request and annihilated the Blood Knights Chapter who had been declared traitors.
Austin originally wanted to harvest the heads of some traitors to boost morale before the expedition officially started. If he was lucky, he could get a usable ship. Therefore, he did not deal a fatal blow to the Blood Curse, but paralyzed it first.
engine, and then jump into gangs to seize the ship.
But he never expected that his opponent still had some strength left, and the duck he got just flew away. How could he not be angry?
So the marshal loudly ordered with anger:
"Pursue! Catch up with those damn bloodthirsty bastards! In the name of Dorne, I will kill Santo Joel with my own hands!"
