What does it feel like to be hit in the face by a boarding torpedo?
Li Ang had experienced it, but he couldn't explain it clearly. When the huge black iron rod penetrated the armor and rubbed his face into the cabin, he had already fainted due to the huge vibration and the sharp whistle of the air in the cabin suddenly leaking due to the damage to the cabin.
But the next moment, Leon was awakened by the device on his body. The cardiac stimulant directly stimulates his nerve center along his steel spine. As the little flesh and blood left in his body, his brain keenly received the stimulation and issued a mandatory feedback to the body, pulling Leon's consciousness back from the depths of darkness after being unconscious for less than half a second.
Leon, who had regained consciousness, suddenly looked up and happened to see the first black-armored Space Marine who had just emerged from the boarding torpedo. The Space Marine raised his gun and fired, and the muzzle of the grenade launcher spewed out fierce flames. In an instant, the deadly grenade arrived in front of Leon!
The bomb in front of him was swallowed by a light blue thin curtain.
This obviously angered the Space Marine.
He put down the grenade gun without hesitation and rushed towards Leon with the chainsaw sword raised.
But when the chainsaw sword he swung down was also blocked by the light blue thin curtain, he inevitably showed a surprised expression on his face.
"Energy shield, kid!" Li Ang grinned, kicked the opponent away, and pulled out the solar ax behind him. This weapon originates from StarCraft and is driven by an Eldar soul stone. It looked very powerful.
"And the solar-powered battle ax." Leon kicked the half-body blocking his way to the ground. "You know, I am always ready to embrace the glory of battle."
Having lost the half second of opportunity when Leon was initially unconscious, the remaining four Space Marines who had just emerged from the boarding torpedoes posed no threat to Leon at all. A plasma backpack gun automatically unfolded from the mechanical behind him, and the Space Marines who wanted to fight back from the boarding torpedoes were killed one by one by the loyal fully automatic plasma gun.
"The sudden change in air pressure made you unconscious for 0.43 seconds, and you also showed a lot of useless emotions during the battle, which slowed down your combat efficiency, Master Leon." The servo skull recording data on the side reminded coldly: "I still recommend that you further transform your body, especially replace the fragile human brain."
"But having a human head can show the difference between me and them, right?" Leon stepped on the corpse of the black-armored Space Marine and spat at the Chaos Eight-pointed Star symbol on his forehead with disdain.
He changed the subject: "Show me the current situation of my Ark. That damn Abaddon, what does it have to do with me stealing things from Fabius Bile? Is it worth mobilizing so many troops to board and hunt me down?"
"The Mechanical Ark Truth was boarded by the Black Legion. After several advance Terminator teams were teleported and deployed to the Mechanical Ark and destroyed some of the plasma engines,the enemy launched dozens of boarding torpedoes into different parts of the hull and launched landing craft at the Truth, which relies on the ability to resist the boarding."
"Right now, there are about 200 Chaos Space Marines who are gradually clearing out our resistance forces on the Mechanical Ark and tightening the encirclement.
Considering that the enemy is still increasing in numbers, according to calculations, the existing Skitarii can only maintain effective resistance for about three more hours.
Abaddon only arranged for people to board the Ark because he wanted to capture the Ark to gain greater results. If the Chaos Space Marines who boarded the Ark lost contact one after another, he had no doubt that the man with the pigtails would use the macro cannon to send the Ark into the sky.
As the master and captain of the Mechanical Ark Truth, Li Ang clearly knew that this monkey-version Mechanical Ark, which was transformed from a Moon-class cruiser, could not withstand the main gun of a battleship.
As a soulless person, Leon, who does not worry that his soul will be played with by the four vendors after his death, has never been afraid of sacrifice. He even prepared a hot melt bomb on his body as his own glory bomb. If Abaddon would personally jump in front of him, he would not hesitate to detonate the hot melt and take Abaddon to watch the most beautiful fireworks. But now is not the case after all.
Horus's DNA has many possibilities for Leon, but it is not worth risking his life for it. Leon is not prepared to meet Old Man Huang just for Horus's DNA. Even if no one reminds him that he still has a lot to do, he has no intention of going to Old Man Huang to rest now. 1TLbxh2
"Let's give up the gene room and go to the escape pod instead." Leon made a calm decision, "Abaddon wants Horus' DNA, so let him take it back. There are more than one truly valuable thing in this universe."
The mechanical servant at the side disagreed with Li Ang's decision: "Sage, in addition to DNA, there are many valuable things on this Ark that we have obtained from archeology and proprietary inventions that you have not yet reported to the Forge World. Are you sure you want to abandon this mechanical Ark directly?"
"The only thing of real value on this ship is my head." Leon tapped the only remaining human structure on his body: "As long as I am alive, the knowledge we once acquired will not be lost."
"But there is a possibility that those things will fall into the hands of heretics, who may crack the mysteries of your unique inventions and bring more disasters to the loyal people of the empire."
Leon weighed the solar-powered battle ax in his hand, which was also one of his proprietary "inventions". For a reason that he couldn't tell others, he was quite sure that Abaddon couldn't crack it.
He took a deep look at the servitor who was his experimental assistant. When he transformed it, he retained a considerable part of its autonomous consciousness as a human being, and it did show its subjectivity as a human being that he could hardly imagine. "Now come with me to the escape pod. There is a small escape boat there, which is big enough for the two of us."
The servitor was silent for a while, as if his human mind was fighting with the programming logic implanted when he was transformed into a servitor, but in the end he lowered his head and said humbly: "Your will, my lord."
The two hastily crossed the battle zone on the mechanical ark and headed for the escape pod. After killing several Chaos Space Marines who blocked their way along the way, Leon and his servitor finally arrived at the escape pod area, where a small escape ship modified by Leon himself was parked, waiting for the arrival of its user.
"I modified this escape ship. It has a special small subspace engine and a Geller field, which is enough for us to make a short subspace jump." Leon spoke to the servitor and opened the hatch of the escape ship. "You disconnect the safety connection between the escape ship and the mechanical ark outside, and then come up. We will leave here together. Do you understand?"
The servitor nodded and started to operate. Leon went into the escape ship and checked the equipment, especially whether the Geller stand was still functioning properly. When he was done, he raised his hand and called the servitor to enter the escape pod. But the servitor outside shook his head at him and closed the hatch of the escape pod.
"What are you doing!" Li Ang was a little angry. He tried to directly manipulate the underlying code of the robot servant, but was stopped by the robot servant.
"Sage Leon.
" The robot servant said to Leon seriously, "Even though you never gave me a name, I believe you still remember the first time you met me. I often wonder why I still have certain human thinking. Of course, I am your robot servant as an experimental assistant, but at the same time, I also hope that I can still make greater contributions as a human being, such as my life to stop the enemies of Chaos."
"The mechanical ark is specially constructed.
There is no navigator or captain on it.
and overload the Li Ang pursed his lips, he looked at his servitor, sadly spread in his mind. His reason, including any computing device on his body, reminded him that keeping this servitor would be beneficial to his actions after escaping.
"May the Emperor of God bless you, Sage Li Ang."
"I don't believe in the Emperor, but I believe in human wisdom and courage." Leon whispered, "Do what you want to do as a human being."
The escape ship ignited its engine, pushing Leon inside the ship into the vast universe. The servo gradually disappeared from Leon's sight, replaced by the full view of the scarred Truth. The servo skull told Leon that the possibility of a servo reaching the control room and detonating the mechanical ark in this situation was close to zero. But somehow, Leon felt that he would succeed.
"There are always things in this world that cannot be calculated by probability.
Although it was an undirected emergency jump that did not start at Manvider Point, if you don't want to get lost forever in the subspace, the required data still needs a certain amount of time to calculate.
Leon believed that Abaddon would give him this time, and it was indeed the case.
When the chief auspicious instrument officer on the Chaos warship reported to Abaddon that the auspicious instrument had detected a small escape ship, he was greeted with a dissatisfied rebuke from the Great Predator.
"An escape ship? Where can he escape to! An escape ship that can't even navigate within a star system will just float in space forever, or make an emergency landing on a nearby planet." Abaddon sneezed, "I think this sage is just desperate. Don't pay any attention to him. Tell the soldiers on the mechanical ark to go to the control room at all costs and seize control of the ark!"
His eyes lingered on the mechanical ark, full of greed. The Black Legion had just been established and was in a period of need. The continuous battles to subjugate various war gangs had already exhausted the Black Legion's reserves. At this time, a mechanical ark was delivered to the door - even if it was just a small mechanical ark modified by a little sage, the technology and various production equipment on it would definitely alleviate the Black Legion's urgent needs.
This foolish Mechanicus Sage had taken the initiative to steal Fabius Bile's entire fortune in order to steal his father's DNA from him, and now he fled in a panic before he even had time to detonate the Ark. This cowardice, which was exactly the same as the Sages who stood by and watched during the Battle of Terra, made Abaddon very confident. He will definitely seize this opportunity and lead the Black Legion to another victory!
But victory did not come as promised.
"Its escape ship is still shown on the auspex, and it has hardly moved since the beginning." The auspex chief pointed at the auspex tremblingly, "Now... Oh no, God!"1TLbxh
He saw that there was a violent subspace fluctuation on the escape ship, and then there was nothing on the auspicious instrument.
Iskandar Khayon, the Thousand Sons wizard who had just cast a spell to teleport the entire battleship and was resting, hurried to the bridge. Looking at the current scene, he understood what had happened and walked to Abaddon's side, whispering to him:
"We have already won, Abaddon, there is no need to be so angry."
"Victory?" Abaddon turned his head to look at Khayon. Even though the other party was a "brother" he recruited personally, he couldn't put on a good face now: "The Mechanical Ark was destroyed, and the Mechanicus Sage also escaped. In addition to those quick-made cannon fodder, I also lost two teams of Terminator teams - they are all brothers who have fought side by side with me since the Legion era! Such a result, you call it a victory?"
"Yes, victory!" Khayon raised his voice slightly. "Even though it cost us a lot, we caught Fabius Bile's handle, destroyed the conspiracy to steal Horus' genes, demonstrated the authority of the Chaos Warmaster, and told everyone that no matter how much it costs, the dignity of the Black Legion cannot be challenged! Your growing prestige will help you better organize the second Black Crusade you have been looking forward to!"
Hearing Abaddon's words, the almost frozen air in the bridge began to flow again, and the mortal crew members took a breath and began to be glad that they would not be executed for failure.
"I will announce this to the outside world as a victory, but I don't want any mortal who knows about it to walk out of here, so as to avoid the spread of rumors." Abaddon said coldly, "There will be nothing leaving here except victory."
