Soshyan, who hurried to the Fortress of Victory, received first-hand information. A strange warship jumped into the galaxy through subspace and was approaching Nassen IV.
Through the keel identification code, the fortress detectors determined that this was an Astat combat barge, but the response signal sent to the other party did not respond.
Therefore, the fortress entered a state of combat immediately, including the battleships parked inside.
Soshyan and Magyar viewed the analysis report in the strategic room. On the other side of the observation deck, a dome emerged from the hull, and a brass-wrapped telescope protruded from the dome of the observatory, engraved with precise and perfect prayer.
Through this thing, Soshiyan can directly see the distant scene.
When the technical priests finished praying to the telescope's soul, Soshiyang walked over and looked at the eyepiece.
Various objects with strange readings hovered in front of him, emitting dim light under the reflection of a distant star.
Then he saw a battleship, a battleship with a main color red and gold, and its bow carries the Astartes' death angel logo, which means it should not be a Chaos battleship.
However, its current situation does not seem to be good. The hull has many visible damage to the naked eye, and the engine seems to be about to go out.
So Soshiyang turned his head and looked at the officer on the operating array.
“Is it still moving now?”
"It's still moving, sir, but the speed is very slow."
“Can you tell at this moment how severe it is damaged?”
"Reported to adults, it was at least level 6 damage, because we just discovered traces of plasma leakage, which means that its reactor has been severely damaged and may even explode."
Soshyang frowned slightly. If this was an Astart Order warship, he would not have been able to stop saving him.
“The exact location at the moment?”
"It has been confirmed, coordinates 2-11-M21"
However, Magyar, beside Soshyang, was reading the report. Then he walked to the telescope and observed for a while, and finally made a surprising sound.
"So they are!"
Soshiyang turned his head.
"Lord Magyar, do you know this ship? Why did they never respond?"
Magyar sneered and said:
"Because they dare not respond."
"Don't dare?"
"Although they erased the logo, the battle group fought side by side with these guys many years ago. Some of the characteristics of this ship are still remembered in the battle group's archives. If it is not wrong, it should be the flagship of the Blood Knights' Chapter, the Blood Curse."
"Blood Knight!?"
When Soshiyan heard that it was the battle group that was declared a traitor, he was also very surprised.
At this moment, the Lord of Detection suddenly said loudly:
"Report! The sub-space bird Buyi discovered abnormal fluctuations again! It is speculated that a fleet is leaping out!"
"I'll take a look!"
Soshiyan walked to the telescope and then said to the technical priest:
“Adjust to the jump point.”
The technical priest then raised his left index finger, and a data probe poked out from his fingertips. Then he inserted it into the socket on the side of the data box and connected it to the dual sensor.
The telescope then rotates around the clockwork gear and focuses in another direction.
When the technical priest retracted the probe, Soshiyan looked at the eyepiece.
I saw a hole in the void torn apart, and then several frigates jumped out quickly and nimblely, followed by a huge strike cruiser and a smaller destroyer.
Although there were so many distances, thanks to the telescope's ultra-long visual distance, Soshiyan still saw the conspicuous black cross sign on the cruiser.
"It's the Black Temple."
As Soshiyang said, he looked at the destroyer and found the sign of the Inquisition on it.
"There is also a court of justice."
Lord Magyar made a judgment immediately.
"They are chasing the Blood Knight."
Soshyan left the telescope and then thought of another possibility.
"And the Blood Knight seems to be planning to ask for help from us."
"Why?"
"Otherwise they would never leave the sub-space here and move toward it. After all, we will also open fire after knowing their identities. This is undoubtedly suicide. The only possibility is that they want us to let them go."
Magyar snorted.
"I think it's beautiful."
Then he looked at Soshiyan.
"What are you going to do now? Let's see the Black Holy Church kill them first."
But Soshiyan suddenly asked a question that seemed a bit strange to Magyar.
"Lord Magyar, what do you think of the Blood Knights and the others?"
"You ask me? I have never dealt with them, but I have had several contacts with the Flesh Tearer and the Seth. How to say... those people were so savage and cruel when they fought, not like the descendants of San Gilles as recorded in history, and you know... Red Thirst, I have witnessed the Flesh Tearer with my own eyes a warrior Red Thirst attack. It was really scary. It was not Astarte, but a beast, a beast who had completely lost his mind."
"But you don't seem to hate them much?"
Magyar sighed lightly.
"Oh, how to say, the defect of genetic seeds is not their fault. Seth and his people are indeed very savage, but they are absolutely reliable when fighting. They will definitely achieve their goals regardless of everything. Everyone has a nearly suicide determination. Yes, you are right, I don't hate them very much... Maybe they are no longer noble, but loyalty is beyond doubt."
After hearing this, Soshiyang fell into silence and walked back and forth with his hands in his chest.
About half a minute later, he turned to the officer in charge of the dock.
"Prepare to undo the magnetic lock of Eternal Loyalty."
"Yes, sir!"
Lord Magyar looked at him and asked:
"It seems you have made a decision?"
Soshiyang nodded.
"No matter what the Blood Knights are now, their blood cannot be sprinkled in front of us or in our house. Not only will the crying people be embarrassed by their cousins, but other blood angel battle groups will also be hostile to us. I cannot explain to Venerable Dante that this matter cannot be solved by violence."
"That depends on your performance. After all, I am not good at diplomacy and mediation."
Soon, the Eternal Loyalty left the dock of the Victory Trace, and along with it, three cruisers left.
This small but powerful fleet quickly ran towards the Blood Curse, which was about to be bitten by the Black Hall fleet. At the same time, Soshiyang sent a message to the Blood Curse.
"...... Blood Knights, I am Soshiyan Alexey, the commander of the Knights of the Astral Realm. I don't know what you are going to do, but I guess you are here to seek asylum. If you want a decent result, then respond immediately and disarm the warship."
The communication echoed on the bridge of the Blood Curse. Santo Joel subconsciously clenched his fists, while Frank, who was beside him, looked at his battle leader. He originally planned to contact the trace of victory as soon as he entered the physical universe, but Santo Joel stopped him.
Perhaps it was the last bit of pride left in my heart that made the Lord of Blood Knight unable to do the act of begging others.
