Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

Chapter 179 Soul Drinker

Even though the Astartes possessed the [Superman Body] granted by the Emperor, the high-intensity war of nearly half a Terran Moon still revealed a trace of deep fatigue in the eyes of the Grand Marshal.

After a long silence, the Soul Drinker Sergeant finally proposed to this warrior who also had the blood of Dorne... the request of the entire chapter to watch for a thousand years.

"The [Soul Drinker] wants to meet the great Imperial Regent!" The Astartes Sergeant's words were unusually firm.

"The Soul Drinker has never been a traitor! From the birth of the second founding of the chapter to this moment, every Astartes in the chapter has always been loyal to the Golden Throne and the great Gene Father."

Although the [Heart of Gawain] and [Forge of Belisarius] in Bosimons' body have once again fallen into a long dormancy after barely repairing the body's injuries.

But Bosimons still exudes a suffocating aura...

Faced with the majestic Bosimons, ordinary Astartes don't even have the courage to look at the Black Templar Grand Marshal.

But at this moment, this Soul Drinker Sergeant with traces of pollution all over his body...looked directly into Bosimons' bottomless pupils.

The Black Templar Grand Marshal felt the humiliation, unwillingness and anger burning like a raging fire from the ice-blue pupils of this Astarte.

It is hard to imagine what degree of betrayal this warrior has experienced...to reveal such shocking emotions.

Although Grand Marshal Bosimons wanted to agree to the Soul Drinkers' request, Bosimons is now only the third captain of the [Imperial Fist].

Bosimons could not respond to the [Soul Drinkers]' request.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request so rashly!" Bosimons shook his head slightly at the sergeant.

"It's about the great Imperial Regent! But if you can defend Cadia together with the loyalists, perhaps the Soul Drinkers can get the Imperial Regent's mercy!"

"For the great Emperor, for the great Gene Father Rogal Dorn!" The Soul Drinker Sergeant hammered his chest heavily.

Although he did not make any substantial promises to Grand Marshal Bosimons, the firm will he showed... was enough to prove many things.

Facing the surging Chaos Demons and Betrayer, the remaining Black Templar veterans temporarily formed an alliance with the Soul Drinkers.

The loyal Sons of Dorn did not rashly approach the garrisons of other legions.

Although Bosimons and the Black Templar veterans believed in the loyalty of the Soul Drinkers, at this critical juncture when the fortress world was invaded... the other loyalists stationed on this land had already entered the most stringent war posture.

They would not believe in the loyalty of a [renegade chapter]. If they approached rashly...then the Soul Drinkers and even the Black Templars might be regarded as enemies and destroyed by the Astartes of other legions.

The Astartes of the Black Templars and Soul Drinkers relied on the [Wall of Loyalty] to build a silent and solid defense line on the spot.

This defense line filled with majestic aura is like Rogal Dorn himself, silent, hard but extremely reassuring...

The Chaos Demons and Betrayer were surging like a tide, but no matter how these damn enemies of the Empire charged...they could never cross the defense line built by the Sons of Dorn.

This silent black defense line stood on the barren land! Just like the [Wall of Sighs] in the ancient Terra mythology, it firmly guarded the glory of the Gene Father and the Emperor.

With chainswords and bolters in hand, the loyal sons of Dorne repelled several invasions of Chaos Demons in the following Terra Days... with hundreds of sacrifices and blood.

But at a certain moment, the Black Templar's already wounded think tank suddenly let out a painful wail...

With his psychic talent far beyond that of ordinary people, this Astartes holding the think tank's scepter... could clearly feel the power of Chaos that permeated this space.

Compared with several Terra Days ago, the power of Chaos that permeated the fortress world of Cadia not only showed no trend of weakening... but became more and more intense as the warp rift gradually expanded.

The curtain between reality and illusion was constantly weakened by the strong power of Chaos.

With the passage of time, the Chaos Demons that can enter the physical universe through the warp rift are becoming more and more powerful.

Although the isolated loyalists have superhuman bodies granted by the Emperor, without any resources... the tide of betrayers and Chaos demons will eventually completely submerge the loyalists.

With the Warp rift unable to close, it is only a matter of time before the fortress world of Cadia falls completely.

Comrades around him fell one after another, but the surging Chaos demons and betrayers showed no sign of decreasing.

There is no doubt that this is a desperate battle with no hope at all! !

The Chapter Librarian knows this, and the former Black Templar Grand Marshal Bo Simmons also knows this.

Guarding the [Loyalty Wall] is the oath that the Dark Templar once made to Rogal Dorn, the genetic father of the Imperial Fists.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, the [Loyalty Wall] standing in the center of the desolate land... is not a very good defensive location.

If the Black Templars and the Soul Drinkers insist on holding on here, then it is foreseeable that... these loyal sons of Dorne will not be able to hold out until the Empire's support arrives in Cadia.

With the Chapter Master of the Soul Drinkers unable to participate in decision-making, Grand Marshal Bosimons naturally became the only support for the Sons of Dorne.

Glory and the overall situation...

At this moment, two completely different paths were placed in front of Grand Marshal Bosimons.

The Astartes from the Black Templars and the Hidden Souls were watching Bosimons. No matter what choice the former Grand Marshal made... the loyal warriors would follow him to the death.

The air fell into a strange silence at this moment! !

After a short and long silence, Grand Marshal Bosimons let out a long sigh! Faced with this desperate war, the Grand Marshal had to make the most beneficial decision for the war.

Under the order of Grand Marshal Bosimons, the warriors of the Black Templars and the Soul Drinkers were forced to give up defending the Wall of Loyalty and moved their positions to a valley near the Carnatus Plain.

This valley is only tens of kilometers away from the core of Cadia, the Eagle Fortress, and below the Eagle Fortress... is the Black Stone Building Complex built by the Necrons.

There is no doubt that the Eagle Fortress will be the place of decisive battle between the loyalists and the betrayers.

The distance of tens of kilometers can ensure that other loyalists will not discover the existence of the Soul Drinkers, and the loyal Sons of Dorne can also support the Eagle Fortress in the shortest time when necessary.

For the Sons of Dorne, this valley is the best defensive location.

...

The long half of Terra's moon passed in a flash...

For this crazy galaxy, half a month may be just a moment!

But for the Imperial warriors stationed on Cadia, every second spent on this crazy land... is as crazy and long as a whole thousand years.

Facing the malice and erosion from the Sea of ​​Souls, the defense force on the fortress world Cadia has been crumbling like a candle in the wind.

Countless Imperial warriors fell on this desolate land! Even at the moment before death, they still offered their last loyalty to the Emperor with their remaining lives.

Every moment that the Empire survived in this crazy galaxy was filled with the precious souls and blood of countless loyalists.

Loyal Imperial warriors defended the land of Cadia regardless of their sacrifices!

Whether it was the Astartes with superhuman bodies or the fragile mortal warriors...

Every citizen of the Empire defended the glory of the Emperor with his life and soul.

But unfortunately, in the face of the absolute power gap... courage and loyalty seemed insignificant.

Facing the undisguised malice of the Chaos Gods, the Imperial warriors scattered throughout Cadia could not form an effective defense at all.

The Imperial warriors must unite, so that they can have a chance of survival in this long-planned invasion of Chaos.

Following the will of [Supreme Castle Lord] Creed, the Imperial battle sequence active on the surface of Cadia temporarily abandoned the once-defended front and began to assemble towards the Eagle Fortress and another solid fortress.

The loyal imperial warriors will rely on these two solid fortresses to hold on to Cadia, where supplies are extremely scarce, until the imperial reinforcements arrive.

But even so, this is still an almost impossible task! !

It has been nearly a long Terra month since the war started.

But the power of chaos that spreads across the end of the sky still has no tendency to decrease, and even... the power of chaos that permeates this space has reached a certain degree of almost condensation.

In such a harsh environment, ordinary mortal warriors need to face extremely severe tests even if they just want to survive.

Even though the [Geller Force Field] emitting lavender light has covered the two fortresses, every moment... there are still mortal warriors with weak minds who are contaminated by chaos.

The pollution of chaos is irreversible! ! !

Even the state priests and the psychic units of various legions are helpless against the chaos pollution that spreads throughout the space.

The mortal warriors whose souls are eroded by the evil gods are very clear about their fate.

Before their bodies fell into the playthings of the Chaos Gods, these loyal warriors fearlessly drew the laser guns at their waists... and offered their final loyalty to the Emperor with a beam of burning laser.

The situation on the land of Cadia is extremely serious! !

But in the cold void tens of thousands of kilometers away from the ground, the Imperial fleet responsible for guarding the defense line of [Cadian Gate]... is in an extremely difficult situation.

Long before the Chaos Gods' malice descended on the physical universe, the psychic units such as navigators and astropaths in the Imperial fleet... had already sensed the approaching crisis through their psychic talents.

But before the fleet issued a warning to the surface of the fortress world, the surging Chaos force like a tide surged out of the subspace cracks.

In a hurry, the Imperial fleet only had time to prop up the [Geller Stand] on the warship for the most basic protection...

But facing the surging Chaos force like a tide, the Geller Stand flashing with lavender light swayed like a lonely boat in the wind and rain.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is an extremely massive star near the fortress world Cadia.

The Imperial Fleet relied on the protection of various defensive force fields to avoid the first wave of the Chaos Force in the gravitational circle near the star.

In the following time, the surviving Imperial Fleet has been trying to establish contact with the surface of the fortress world.

But unfortunately, as of now... there are still harsh noises in the communication.

The commander of the Imperial fleet, Rear Admiral Ural Uwelo of the Imperial Navy, was standing in front of the porthole of the flagship, looking anxiously at the fortress world of Cadia, which was obscured by the power of Chaos.

The rear admiral originally planned to ask for help from the nearest imperial world! However, under the influence of the warp storm, the astrological network connecting the entire empire has been completely obscured by the power of Chaos.

The only thing the navy soldiers can do now is to pray that the people in power on Terra will discover the abnormal situation in the fortress world as soon as possible.

Of course, what the naval warriors don't know is...the huge fleet led by the Imperial Regent has already embarked on the journey to the fortress world.

If nothing unexpected happens, in a few Terran days at most... the Imperial Regent's fleet, carrying the Emperor's wrath, will literally descend on the Cadian Gate defense line.

Of course, the Imperial Regent Fleet is still on its way.

Until the arrival of the Imperial Regent and the Legiones Astartes, the naval warriors and Cadian defenders can now rely only on their own bodies and the weapons in their hands.

Just when the rear admiral was looking anxious, the rear admiral's adjutant hurriedly pushed open the door of the fleet's flagship command module...

The appearance of the adjutant made the rear admiral's eyes flash with a gleam of hope.

"How about it? Can we use a high-power low-frequency communication array to contact the surface of Cadia?" the rear admiral asked seriously.

"Sorry, respected Major General." The adjutant's expression was full of sadness and helplessness, "The power of chaos pouring out from the Eye of Fear has completely reduced the fortress world of Cadia to an isolated island!"

"The navy soldiers have turned on the short communication array to maximum power, but the battleship's communication frequency is still not enough to penetrate the obstacles of the power of chaos! Unfortunately, we cannot get in touch with any force on Cadia."

"Damn it!" The rear admiral tore at his short golden hair anxiously, "What about the high-power heat-sensing detector? If it's just a purely physical detection, the power of chaos shouldn't be able to hinder it, right?"

"You are right!" The adjutant nodded solemnly, "According to the data returned by the high-power heat induction detector, there are many irregular heat sources on the surface of Cadia's planet."
