"You know very well that what forces you to attack is not fanaticism, nor loyalty, nor power, but fear! You are afraid of us and cannot face us head-on. I guess you still don't know what kind of explanation to give to your subordinates.
, you can only force us to come to negotiate, pray for a sneak peek at our plans, and then use threats and blackmail to win... But you will lose this war, Soshyan,
Just because you are greedy for the petty profits you stole."
Sosh Yang grinned, as if he had heard a joke.
"Steal? From the moment you betrayed the Empire, everything you owned became stolen goods, including your life, which was stolen from the Emperor. What qualifications do you have to accuse us? What qualifications do you have to accuse us?
Coward? In the conflict at the Maelstrom, who pushed the allies out first to face the wrath of the empire? Who cowered in his palace like a coward, and was beaten to the point of being inhuman and ghostless in the end? I
At least you dare to stand up, you? You didn't even dare to stand up before."
"If you are so confident in your own strength, Soshyan Alexei, why don't you come and compete with me. My battle ax is already thirsty."
Upon hearing Huron's challenge to Soshyan, Velez's breathing immediately became rapid.
Originally, she thought there would be more confrontations and felt that a bloody duel would follow.
However, she guessed wrong.
The soldier behind Huron put his finger on the call button, and Sosh Yang's voice sounded in her communication headset.
"Sister Anna, get out of there right now."
At the same time, Sosh Yang raised the Sheng Yan Sword and pointed it at Huron:
"What kind of trick is this? You broke the agreement, traitor!"
Huron clenched his battle ax and faced his opponent, his narrowed eyes radiating cold light.
"What about you, Captain Soshiyang!"
Before he finished speaking, there were neat and heavy footsteps in the darkness, as if a grand military parade was being held.
Velez looked back and saw a towering steel jungle emerging from the shadows. They had thick torsos, semi-elliptical heads, flexible limbs, and their entire bodies were painted silver gray.
On the shoulders of the first row, you can still see the helmets of the slaughtered red pirate warriors pierced by metal spikes, swaying slightly with their steps.
This was Soshiyang's reason for delaying time. After waiting for Malakin to no avail, he summoned the Unbound Soul and the battle robots on the Starfire that had just wiped out the Red Pirate Gang's gang, and transported them in batches through teleportation.
Inside the Star Fortress - although more than a dozen battle robots were damaged on the Starfire, the entire battle group was still intact.
Because of the interference from the screams, he believed that the Red Pirates were currently unable to engage in gang-hopping operations.
Soshiyang even believes that three hundred combat robots can completely crush the enemy head-on!
"Chapter Commander, as you expected, the Red Pirates launched sneak attacks from the other two entrances."
In the communication channel, Ustad's voice also confirmed Soshyan's guess.
Huron's reason for delaying time should be that he planned to attract Soshyan's attention and the main force of the Astral Knights to the front, and then launch a surprise attack from the entrances on both sides, taking the opportunity to capture the central hall.
Therefore, before negotiating, he distributed most of his main forces to the entrances on both sides, so Huron was not allowed to succeed.
Opposite him, Huron also received news that the surprise attack had been thwarted.
He glanced at Sosh Yang and showed admiration, but he was not very surprised.
"My conditions have changed this time, I don't want anything anymore."
"oh?"
Huron showed a playful smile.
"So generous?"
"Yes, now, I only need one thing -"
As he spoke, he suddenly launched a charge, and Huron, who was only more than twenty meters away from him, immediately swung his battle ax.
Boom——!
The two weapons locked each other tightly in the next second amid bursts of sparks.
Soshiyang stared at Huron's face. From this distance, he could clearly see Huron's face distorted by witchcraft, as well as the large number of mechanical structures wrapped around his neck. The dark power was almost a physical object on him.
reflect.
"—your dirty head!"
Huron grinned and exhaled a mouthful of foul breath.
"Really? Countless people have made such a request, but unfortunately -"
Huron pushed Sosh Yang away with a sudden force.
"They are all dead."
The moment Soshyang took action, the two teams immediately raised their guns at each other and started shooting.
At the same time, not only the battle robots came out of the darkness, but also the Astral Knights guarding the front entrance and Soshyan's Honor Guard.
And a large number of red pirates also appeared one after another.
Entering the gun battle, Huron did not pursue. Instead, he began to retreat, leaving the battlefield to his subordinates. Ever since he was seriously injured in the Palace of Thorns, Huron had become very cautious, and rarely personally attacked himself when he was not absolutely sure.
Take action.
Soshyan tried to pursue, but the dense rain of bullets forced him to retreat behind the cover of his own fire.
But with the battle robots around, he wasn't worried about any problems on his side.
"Notify the center, activate the void shield, turn on defensive firepower, don't let Huron escape!"
Just when Soshyang was arranging the follow-up plan, an astonishing explosion suddenly occurred in the upper level of the space where they were.
boom----------!
The unstoppable shock wave shattered the entire structure of the dome, and metal fragments rained down on all the Astartes caught in the crossfire like a torrential rain. The dazzling ominous red light looked particularly strange under the refraction of the metal fragments.
An ominous palpitating feeling immediately hit Soshiyang's heart, and he immediately put on his helmet.
The Astartes who were fighting seemed unaware of the changes in their surrounding environment, but Soshyan could feel that something was being built. He could feel its expansion, stretching, and expansion, eager to invade reality.
Talos beside him also whispered with a slightly trembling voice:
"Huron...is really crazy! Don't you want this star fort anymore? He actually——"
Looking out from the broken dome, Sosh Yang saw the fire of hell burning, the red light beginning to gather, the red getting thicker and thicker, like a bloody mirror.
A subspace channel that has been formed——
Only then did Soshyan realize what Huron's real purpose was in delaying time.
"——Summoned an army of Khorne demons!"
In the roar of Talos, they were born.
Soshiyang could only watch as they gained physical form and poured out of the void, first dozens, then hundreds, until the entire channel mirror was covered with eggs in the form of demons.
Humanity's most feared nightmares came into reality, bathed in the flames of birth, and then the demons emerged from their cocoons, stretching their disgusting bodies.
Their mandibles swelled, frightening spikes sprouted from their backs, their dark eyes opened, and their overly long tongues violently twisted.
The crimson subspace creation staggered out of the flames, its originally slippery skin becoming extremely hard. In its hand, it waved a long sword that had hardened and fallen off from the flesh, howling with a thirst for blood.
