Behind the helmet, Nova looked at the silent city through the mask screen and couldn't help but frown slightly, with a hint of confusion in her cold expression.
Although she and the Raven Guard have not been able to directly engage in any substantive confrontation with any traitors since passing through the Vortex Space Gate, she can sense that the galaxy has fallen into a "stench" due to the influence of the power of Chaos.
And corrupted by rage and disorder.
However, since they arrived in the Nostromo system, especially after landing on Nostromo 2, they can actually feel comfortable...
This is a little strange.
Because the actual leader of the Dark Sector is Konrad Curze, who is also the original body of the traitorous Legion Night Lords.
Judging from the available information, the Night Lords are an extremely efficient and stealthy special operations force, but at the same time they are an Astartes army that adopts an extremely repressive and murderous policy.
The original body who leads this group of cruel guys is called the "Midnight Ghost". He is a fair-skinned monster and the spokesperson of the tyranny of fear.
However, being governed by such a primarch and such a legion, Nova was really surprised that the people living here would have a safe and happy mood.
It really needs to be investigated carefully.
Remember http://m.\net in one second
So she restrained her somewhat exuberant curiosity and jumped straight down the edge of a cliff nearly thirty meters high. Then when the toes of her feet touched the soil, she took advantage of the situation and made a forward roll, releasing all her strength.
After completing this jump, Nova quickly walked through the woods with light and silent steps.
During this period, patrol planes would fly over her from time to time, continuously monitoring the wilderness-like countryside. Thanks to the optical camouflage and psychic shielding of the latest model of HES, Nova could continue to be in a "ghost" state.
, as long as she doesn't do anything too suicidal, she doesn't need to worry about the possibility of being discovered.
Soon, Nova walked through the dense forest and arrived at an empty and extremely modern industrial area.
From here on, it is no longer deserted. There are workers in the factory who comply with the requirements of the curfew system and are approved to work night shifts. There are also soldiers and midnight lords patrolling the streets between the factories.
Therefore, Nova could no longer be unscrupulous. She chose to jump to the top of the factory building and continue along the edge of the street to go deeper into the city center.
While she was alert to her surroundings, she also glanced at the abbreviated radar in the upper right corner of the mask screen, which showed that more than twenty ghost agents under her command had "surrounded" the entire city with her.
all the best.
Seeing this, Nova focused all her energy on stealth again.
She came to the end of the industrial area, half-crouched on the edge of the roof of a factory building, patiently observed, and recorded the intervals between patrol teams.
"God's Coming"
After figuring out the pattern, Nova took advantage of a group of Night Lords crossing the intersection and disappearing from sight. She stood up and retreated, coming to the center of the top of the factory building. Then she started to accelerate, and when she rushed to the edge again, she cooperated with the increase in his strength.
He jumped with all his strength and crossed the intersection in a perfect curve.
After "flying" nearly forty meters away and about to collide head-on with the right wall of a huge building, Nova spread her palms and pointed them at the wall.
touching.
Adsorption.
At this moment, Nova is just like the "superhero" favored by young children in the comic stories published in the main universe. Due to an accidental mutation, she has acquired the ability of certain animals, so that she can fly over walls and walls in the reinforced concrete urban jungle.
However, Nova is not a "mutant" or "mutant" person. She actually used the entomological technology of her palms and toes to quickly climb up to the central square of the giant building.
Standing firm, Nova can sense through psychic energy that this seems to be a...resident apartment?
She originally thought that the residents of the New Human Empire lived deep in ditches, in simple wooden houses, and simply slept on garbage dumps. However, the Dark Sector seemed to maintain an alternative but peaceful order through alternative high pressure.
Next, Nova entered the apartment through the central square.
She found that the corridors were clean and bright, without the darkness, dampness, or dried blood stains on the corners as she had imagined.
This place is exactly the same as the urban apartment in the main universe six or seventy years ago. Moreover, there are only a few more surveillance cameras installed here than in the main universe, indicating that everything is under the "watch" of the Night Lord.
Nova uploaded all the information, findings and guesses to Corax, who was hiding in the flagship, and came to the end of the corridor, aimed at the room on the right, and then performed a pulse scan. The result was a structure of two rooms and one living room. A family of three is sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Like watching TV?
Nova turned on the monitoring function again, which completely confirmed her suspicion.
It turned out that after the family had enjoyed a fairly delicious and plentiful dinner, the father and son cleared the table, washed the dishes, and then watched a comedy movie with their mother.
What was monitored was filled with laughter and discussions, and it was a joyful one.
Nova could sense a trace of worry and fear deep in the hearts of this family, but at this time, joy, happiness, and the positive emotions of looking forward to tomorrow's life prevailed.
Moreover, she was not aware of the influence of the power of chaos, which meant that this family, or Nostromo II, or even the residents of the entire Dark Star Region did not understand the alien space, let alone the existence of evil gods and demons.
A traitorous Primarch concealed Chaos from the sector he governed??
In addition, the bodies of the patrol soldiers and the Night Lords did not have any obvious distortion or distortion, which made Nova couldn't help but wonder, did Konrad Curze refuse to believe in Chaos from beginning to end?
She had just reported this conjecture, and not long after, Corax's response came through the communication: "Nova, I need you and your subordinates to go to the palace-style building in the center of the city, sneak inside and try to find Kang. Radkoz and locked in his position.”
"Okay, leave it to me." Nova accepted the task without hesitation.
"Also, be sure to pay attention to safety." Finally, Corax did not forget to worry about his "own" sister.
"Don't worry." Nova responded softly.
Although she always teases Corax, Robert and other Primarch brothers, saying that she is not weak at all, can't fight or run?, but in fact, Nova is still very self-aware.
She understands the gap between herself and the original body. Even if Konrad Curze is not as good as those original body brothers, she will not be so arrogant that she dares to challenge and assassinate the other party.
After the brief conversation, Nova also ended her "peeping" on the family of three, and immediately returned to the platform square, crossing between giant buildings, and wandering throughout the city.
In only about half an hour, Nova had arrived at the outskirts of the capital palace.
The abbreviated radar on the mask screen also showed that her subordinates had also arrived at the best position, all waiting for her orders.
Nova was not in a hurry, but looked around for observation.
I saw that the scale of this palace was far inferior to that of the Royal Palace of Holy Terra. There was a huge difference between the two. Moreover, the style of this palace was relatively simple and there were not many gorgeous decorations at all.
In other words, except for the Gothic palace located in the center, covering an area of about 70 hectares, with walls in black, dark blue and blood red, and a large number of stained glass windows, this area looks more like a large
military base.
All mortal soldiers and Night Lords were either resting as usual or patrolling around the palace.
Numerous large-caliber ground-to-air and ground-to-orbit artillery systems are also deployed here to protect the entire capital palace area "tightly" and "watertight."
At the same time, Nova also tried to sense whether there was Konrad Kurtz here, and the feedback result was "none". It may be that he is not on this planet, or she may be deliberately hiding "his" psychic aura.
Thought for a moment.
"Act." Nova still gave the order, because no matter what the possibility, she needed to sneak into the palace for Corax to find out.
"Yes." All the ghost agents responded in lowered voices.
View from the sky.
Nova and the ghost agents were like ghosts, quietly crossing the wall, walking through the heavily guarded camp, and successfully sneaked into the palace from multiple angles.
Shortly after…
Turn on pulse scan.
Turn on motion detection again.
With silent steps, Nova walked through a spacious corridor on the fourth floor of the easternmost palace. On her right hand side was an open stained glass window, and on her left hand side were empty houses one after another.
The most horrifying thing is that the breeze blows into the corridor through the open windows and also drives the white gauze curtains hanging beside the windows.
From now on…
Time falls…
The gauze curtains flicked rhythmically.
At this moment, a door seemed to be shaking due to the breeze, making a "squeaking!" sound.
"Clang!"
!
Hearing the fierce noise, Nova, who was in hiding, quickly turned around and pointed the sniper blast in her hand at the source of the sound.
Taking a closer look, it was the door that made the "squeaking" sound. It was finally moved by the breeze, and the sudden movement caused the door to close too violently just now.
"Huh...ha..."
After finding out the reason, Nova's breathing involuntarily became a little heavier.
Normally, she wouldn't feel nervous at all. After all, in previous missions, the enemies she encountered didn't need to go all out. Just a thought and a release of psychic energy were enough to deal with them.
Now, Nova has to be more vigilant.
Although her psychic perception told her that everything was safe and there were no threats around her, why did she always feel a chill on her spine, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her from behind?
So between psychic perception and sixth sense, she chose the sixth sense, and was sure that Conrad Coates was in the capital palace!
"Corax!" Nova called for help as soon as the communication was opened: "Teleport to me! Quick! Conrad Coze is beside me!"
"rou~!!"
!!!
Before Nova could finish her words, she heard the sound of sharp claws waving downwards from her side.
"Buzz!!"
However, Nova's own psychic barrier and his protective stance helped her withstand this attack.
"Peng!!"
But even so, she couldn't resist this immeasurable ton-level force, and her body was even blown away.
"Boom!" Nova, who was out of control, crashed into the right wall and rolled several times in the air.
Finally, there was another "boom", and Nova smashed the ground into a shallow pit, while she lay paralyzed in the center of the shallow pit.
"Buzz~---Uh~---!"
The sudden fight naturally triggered a loud alarm and quickly mobilized the entire capital palace. It will not take long for the defensive forces to surround this place.
"Winter! Winter!"
Before that, the guy who attacked Nova had already jumped out of the palace, made her body wearing armor and stomach fall freely to stand on the ground, and then walked towards the shallow pit with heavy steps.
This time, I finally saw what this guy looked like.
Its armor and stomach are painted in dark blue, with details that resemble human skeletons, and are even decorated with human skulls. The huge body and majestic height represent that "he" is a original body and the Lord of Night.
The Primarch Konrad Curze.
For some reason, apart from a one-meter difference in height, Curze's appearance is very similar to that of Corax, the sixth son of Sui Bian.
He also has long flowing black hair, a fair complexion, a handsome face, and even his weapons are a pair of sharp claws that flash with electric light. However, Curze's deep eyes are much more gloomy and more aggressive than Corax's.
Moreover, the whites of Coze's eyes are still covered with red bloodshot eyes. It is obvious that the mental state of this original body who chose to betray the Empire and betray the Emperor's father is somewhat abnormal.uuRead the book
When "he" walked to the edge of the shallow pit, he happened to "see" him working as usual. Nova, who had remained hidden, had already bent over and stood up. She shook her dizzy head and drew out the dagger with her right hand, pointing at "him"
Just give it a try...
"stop!!"
Accompanied by a sharp whistling, an arc of cyan-blue psychic energy struck straight at Coze, who was standing still.
Fortunately, as a Primarch, Curze reacted very quickly and dodged the moment Nova swung her dagger.
However, the psychic arc will not stop its destruction just because it loses Curze as its target.
"Boom--! Boom--!"
I saw arcs of psychic energy tearing open the palace walls and rushing inside, tearing apart everything inside.
"Hugh...boom!!!"
Finally, when this arc of psychic energy rushed to the center of the palace, it could no longer bear it and was released, leaving only a blue light between heaven and earth, like a tactical nuclear explosion.
"Hoo!!!" The shock wave swept around.
When the vision returned to normal, the aftermath subsided, and the smoke and dust dissipated, they saw that the seventy-hectare palace had been annihilated by Nova's psychic arc.
Fortunately, when Nova was attacked by Curze, she ordered all agents to withdraw from the palace, otherwise her group of subordinates would have been accidentally killed by the psychic arc.
Moreover, Nova no longer needs to continue to "fight" Curze, because Corax and two hundred shadows have completed the teleportation.
The Shadows were dispersed in the capital palace area in teams of four, while Corax faced Conrad Curze face to face with his "little sister" behind him.
only……
Curze actually took the initiative to remove his lightning claws, spread his arms without any precautions, and showed a look of "letting others be slaughtered" to Corax?!
