In the void, a large number of thunder eagles and storm birds were descending vertically along one side of the edge of the abandoned ship, passing through the huge statues, passing between the two bridge-sized piers, in front of them a tall window.
The next moment, a silent flash passed by, and the glass window was sunk inward, and it was melted into a pool of residue. The plastic steel blinds in the glass collapsed with white hot light.
Air burst out from the gap, shaking the entire ship, and the vehicles continued to shoot behind the window until a crack was opened enough for the formation to pass through.
Soon, the air leak ended and the drivers drove in carefully.
The darkness surrounded the formation, and then the Thunder Eagle shook violently.
“The artificial gravity field is still working here.”
Talos, who was sitting next to Soshyang, suddenly spoke.
The searchlight of the Stormbird was turned on, and the small lighting system lit up the silent stone statue - a church, extremely huge.
The pilot then descended the Stormbird near the church door and went deep into the church ship 200 meters. Other aircraft with the signs of the White Church, the Dark Angel, the Ranger Warrior, the Ascetic and the Wrathon Warriors also followed and landed in sequence not far away.
After a bang, the Stormbird's slope door opened, and with the heavy sound of metal and the buzz of the Terminator's large power system, Sosh strided out.
"Brothers, go forward."
The Terminators acted, and entered the dim lights of the church from the stormbird's lights. The warriors of the Astral Knights, including the warriors of other battle groups, also poured out from their vehicles, silently and quickly formed a defensive formation in the vacuum. Only the sensors of the Terminator Armor could sense a slight vibration.
In an instant, more than 500 Astats were occupied here.
In fact, when Soshiyang talked to the sages before, there was no one thousand people in the five battle groups this time. The Deathwing Company of the Dark Angels only had more than sixty warriors, and the four battle groups of the suffering alliance were less than seven hundred, of which the Knights of the Star Realm accounted for 300, and the Ascetics and Ranger Warriors added more than three hundred, and the fewest of the crying people came, and a company of 100 people came.
After everyone left the vehicle, Ezekiel, the director of the Dark Angel's think tank, appeared last, with his psychic halo almost visible to the naked eye, while the scepter drooped his body aside.
The first time they entered, the Space Marines used all technical means to investigate the church and sent their brothers to various channels to expand the capture range.
Then the mechanical believers also entered the church, and the loyal incense burner flashed with fire at their waists, symbolizing that they would never be able to bring the glory of the mechanical god to the dark fanaticism. Although there is no need to contribute to the creation of the world, some people still need to give it, and it is to calm their hearts.
As for Soshyan when he asked them whether there was a diagram of the internal structure of the abandoned ship, no party was willing to provide a little bit of information, but he was not surprised.
Although Soshiyan believed that one of the parties had sent people into the abandoned ship, he would not force him if he was unwilling to cooperate.
In the darkness, the Terminator's searchlight is the most dazzling, dispelling the darkness beside them.
“There is no sign of danger.”
Dead Winged Master Belia approached the side of the church, and his green burqa and bone-white paint looked a little gloomy in the dark.
The floor had gaps under the weight of the Terminator, the walls were black and bronzed, engraved with devout scriptures, and the Dead Winged Master turned his eyes to the broken windows.
"I should repent for the damage caused to this sacred place for thirteen days."
Belia chanted loudly in front of everyone:
"For we have to destroy this sacred place of the Emperor, may the Holy Light of Terra forgive our sins, even if it was committed in the performance of our duties."
The words and deeds of this Deathwing Master made Soshiyang a little confused, but this was someone else's business, he was too lazy to express his opinions, but he just focused on it.
Judging from the magnificent church, Soshyan concluded that they were walking on a huge pilgrimage ship.
The Pilgrimage ships are a unique starship of the Empire. They have no rank, logo or plan, each one is unique and a gorgeous display of loyal Baroque style for the sacred and indescribable plan.
The construction of them was basically the state religion, and the purpose of its construction was to bring hundreds of millions of pilgrims from one holy land to another, and to bring the light of the emperor to other empire worlds.
Simply put, it is a "shuttle bus" that runs back and forth among many holy places in the Galaxy, and its route is basically fixed.
Perhaps it used to be full of religious glory, but now it is just a monument in a huge space cemetery. Along the way, Soshiyan saw tall statues of saints and heroes on the guardrail, and a corridor of hundreds of meters long decorated with holy elephants.
But all this beauty has become desolate beauty on the corpse, silent and lifeless.
The huge outer protruding buildings and corridor portholes reflect distant sunlight, but there is nothing inside. The darkness rolls between the uneven vertical baffles, and the secret is hidden in this grim skeleton.
This shining ship built for the God Emperor has become a tomb, not only the dead silence in the building—and also the alien aura pointing to its end.
Considering that the number of people on this ship can often reach hundreds of millions or even more than one billion, Soshiyang has a new estimate of the number of aliens in the scrap ship.
According to the initial tactics, the coalition of the Alliance of Suffering and the Angels of Darkness will choose to land in the same place, and establish a safe forward stronghold, and then enter the scrap ship separately for searching.
The purpose of this is mainly to avoid the dangers of the initial login and to facilitate subsequent support.
As for the other two battle groups, Soshiyanli ignored them and had no need to communicate with their command.
On the one hand, I am really unfamiliar with it, and on the other hand, the malicious warrior has a bad reputation.
The Malicious Warriors are also an ancient Astartes regiment, said to have been established in the M32 period. They are a group known for their cruelty, aggressiveness, indifference to life, and their collateral damage. Their name has always been synonymous with massacre and destruction.
Although they were keen to launch wars against the enemy of the human empire and the emperor, they had been charged with excessive use of force against civilians, and were even charged by other Astartes, and were asked to condemn and investigate them.
Although malicious warriors can be called a model based on combat records alone, many of their allies during the war challenged the group's behavior in battle. Although no one doubted their effectiveness in war, several groups believed that malicious warriors were aggressive and hostile, and lacked brotherhood with other Astartes, which led to many forces in the empire refusing to fight side by side with this infamous warrior.
Soshiyan is not a hearsay person, but the reputation of these people is too bad. Even if there may be any misunderstandings, Soshiyan does not want to encounter so many troubles in such an important action - although the Blood Knights have a similar reputation, it is because of their genetic seed issues, and the malicious warriors have never had any statement about the genetic seed issues.
They just have problems with their simple thoughts.
No matter what the truth is, Soshiyang's attitude towards the two battle groups is very simple. Everyone will be at peace without meeting them. If they bump into each other and conflicts occur, he will never be ruthless.
His mechanical teaching reasoning is based on respect and reality, but it does not mean that he is a very easy-to-talk person.
Therefore, there are two reasons why Soshiyan chose to enter from the direction of the pilgrimage ship. One is that it is far away from the landing point of the other two battle groups, and the other is that according to the scanning results, the ship is relatively late to integrate into the scrap ship and is still very new, and perhaps the energy system and the like can be started.
If some systems can be restored, it is a very good forwarding base.
