Standard Terran Calendar 984.M41, Posuul, Temple of the Dead
In the dark void, the Chapter's monastic fortress of the Ascetics slowly rotated in the pale light of Bosule and her distant star. The planet was covered with large expanses of green and touches of blue and white, and its surface seemed to be full of
Mountains, rugged.
When it had the largest number of personnel, this space fortress had a thousand battle brothers and tens of thousands of servants, and those majestic battleships were moored in the port area of the space fortress.
But now, there are still large pits of metal fragments floating on the track, and many torn wounds, twisted turrets, and broken statues can be seen in the magnificent fortress.
It is so incomplete, just like its owner.
Under such circumstances, a huge fleet slowly approached it, and then sent aircraft one after another into the fortress.
After entering the fortress, traces of fighting can be seen everywhere. Weapons tore through walls and blasted open doors. Many facilities were temporarily blown up as roadblocks. Even precious vehicles were pushed to the entrance to block the road. It was obvious that the defenders
How desperate it was at that time.
The Ascetic Chapter has a tradition of placing the skulls of victims in the fortress hall, but now it has increased by more than 150. The number is so large that the priests who hold funeral ceremonies have to simplify it.
process.
Now all the ascetic companies outside have returned to their homes, filled with anger, sorrow and hatred.
Even mortals may see gloomy flames burning in their eyes, not only for the sacrifice of their battle brothers, but also for their Chapter Master, the longest-serving elder in the history of the Ascetics.
As the airlock door slowly opened amidst the sound of metal friction, a huge figure appeared in a neat circle, and then stepped forward and walked into a dust-free hall glowing with blue light.
This was originally a medical room, but it underwent emergency renovation. Many pipelines were connected to a huge machine. It was like an operating table, shrouded in a light blue halo. On the table lay a naked giant with a
He has a slightly older face and scars scattered all over his body. Some scars are too old and are superimposed with other scars to form thick ecchymoses.
In the giant's chest, there is a broken sword that looks like an insect's limbs. The blade of the sword is an evil scarlet color. It can be seen that almost half of the sword has penetrated into the giant's chest. It is not known whether it was interrupted or for the sake of the giant's chest.
Take off the power armor and cut off the part that remains outside.
Step by step, Soshyan walked up to Mazar, who was shrouded in a stasis force field, with a sad face and without saying a word. Behind him were Mark, Farzad, and other ascetic personnel, such as the chief priest.
Astador, Chief Thinker Zdeno, and Chief Pharmacist Baysama.
"Senior Mazhar, I..."
Soshyan stretched out his hand, but stopped when he almost touched the stasis field.
"I'm late..."
Then Baisama hissed:
"We tried every means to treat the Chapter Master, but the Eldar despicably used a poison that was completely unfamiliar to us. It eroded the Chapter Master's nerves at an extremely fast rate. We used all the potentially useful medicines.
It didn't work, so at the last moment the Chapter Leader could only be transferred to the stasis field..."
"Then what happened to this broken sword?"
"Like witchcraft...but without psychic features."
Zdeno replied in a low voice:
"It stretched out many thin threads and entangled the Chapter Master's two hearts. Once pulled out, it is likely to..."
After hearing this, Soshyan growled:
“Typical Comorian trick!”
After returning this time, Soshyan did not even return to the Naisen system first. He immediately rushed to the home planet of the Ascetics. All the Suffering Alliance battle groups that had returned before had already been here, but obviously they could not provide them.
What help.
"What's even worse is that despite the stasis field, the Chapter Master's vitality is still declining. He may not be able to last more than a month."
Soshyan turned around and looked at the people in the ascetic battle group.
"The most important thing now is to save people. Save people first, and then talk about other things. Our battle group has a think tank who is proficient in this area. Can we let him give it a try?"
"Since he is the leader of the Soshiyang Chapter, we must trust him, and there is no other way now."
"Okay, let the others stay away for now. Jackal, come here."
When most people left, Kayan, wearing a helmet, walked in from the door. At this time, only Soshyan, Zdeno and him were left in the room.
Kayon walked to Mazar's side, then raised his hand. After a while, he lowered his arm and said softly:
"The situation is not good. This is the Xue Lingren's poison. It is probably the most violent kind. With the current technology of mankind..."
"The Bloodling?"
Zdeno made a sound of surprise.
"Those monsters are not..."
Soshyan turned to look at each other.
"When I came here, I took a look at the weapons left behind by the aliens. Many of them came from Commorragh, and they also robbed a large number of the planet's population. This is absolutely unnecessary for the Ark Eldar. They have a name called Soul Stone.
Things can protect the soul. Only the Eldar of Commorragh have no soul stones and must always torture others to survive, so they need a large number of slaves."
"But the castle master of the Death Watch said that this was an attack by the so-called Eternal Royal Court. They have taken in many of the same kind in Commorragh."
"Of course, this is just a guess, but I discovered one thing after watching the battle footage. I wonder if you, Brother Zdeno, have noticed it."
"What?"
"None of these spirit races have soul stones."
Zdeno blinked and said:
"Don't they all have that...red gemstone on their chest?"
"Yes, but when those Eldar died, the gems did not change color. I have killed the Eldar, and when they died, the soul stone would change from red to a unique blue, which means that their souls have entered it.
"
Yes, this is the biggest weakness of Victor's entire plan, and it is also a weakness that cannot be overcome at all. Soshyan actually thought of it on the way. Comoros Aida can disguise anything, but this one cannot be disguised at all. If it is used
A fake soul stone can only deceive a layman, and someone with a little knowledge can see through it at a glance.
It was obvious that Victor was betting that most Space Marines had no understanding of the Eldar, especially the Soul Stone, and that Soshyan would not be able to return so quickly before the matter spread.
"Well..."
When Soshyan said this, Zdeno also seemed a little hesitant.
"It seems...that's it? That means..."
"That is to say, these attackers cannot use soul stones at all, so they will not leave corpses behind. They will take away what they can and dissolve what they cannot take away. This method is obviously a thief with a guilty conscience, for fear of being discovered.
Isn’t this inconsistent with their identity, but they also showed the logo clearly?”
