Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 135 Everything is under control

boom!
The scorching bolt rifle, pouring out the blessings of hell!
That was the wail of death. The bullets propelled by the rockets, with their powerful kinetic energy, tore apart the defense line formed by the demons!
In fact, those demons that came into the material universe from the cracks in the warp were all small and insignificant evil demons, so the Astartes advanced at an extremely fast speed, without any hindrance at all!
The heavy footsteps sound like the knell of death!
The sound of explosive gunfire is the wrath of the Emperor!

Stepping on the broken corpses of countless demons, the Astartes tactical team of more than 20 people broke into the planetary defense orbital facility and successfully reunited with Tucker and others.

Leon took a quick look and gave the order: "Tactical teams 4 and 5 are responsible for security and eliminating threats."

Then, Leon walked with heavy steps and came to the trembling and somewhat frightened mortal resistance force.

The lower-ranking native defense forces, when seeing Astartes, could not help but kneel down, fold their hands in front of their chests, and perform the Sky Eagle salute to express their respect and reverence.

Tucker, on the other hand, was obviously much more at ease, and facing the high-ranking Astartes, he simply struck his heart with his right fist.

The reason was much simpler. Astartes... he had seen them many times in Catachan and Cadia, and the initial filter in his mind had almost completely fallen off.

Leon noticed at a glance the medal on Tucker's chest. It was the Iron Sky Eagle, which was only awarded to Astra Militarum soldiers who performed heroic deeds. "Are you a retired Astra Militarum soldier?"

"Respected Brother, I served in the 175th Regiment of the Astra Militarum and participated in the Cadian Campaign." Tucker reported his resume with a proud look on his face.

When he heard Cadian, Leon immediately showed some respect. Although he was wearing a helmet, his tone changed from the initial coldness to a little softer: "I have heard of that battle, but unfortunately... we were unable to participate at that time."

"That's all in the past, Brother."

Tucker felt a little bitter. In his military career, the Battle of Cadia was the most miserable defeat.

Fortunately, Leon didn't intend to ask too many questions, so he said, "I need to know the current situation of this planet, including the enemy's intelligence, etc."

"No problem, venerable monk."

Tucker sorted out his thoughts and quickly told all the known information.

"So, there is only one gathering place at the moment?"

Leon frowned as he heard this. Although he had guessed before coming here that the situation on this planet was very bad, to be so bad... was indeed a bit rare.

How to describe it...

Normally in this situation, it would not be the turn of the Astartes to be dispatched. They should look for the Inquisitor, contact the Imperial Navy, and then fire some macro cannons, whirlwind torpedoes and the like in space orbit.

After all, the only valuable thing Rosel could offer was a few minerals, but even if he took this little profit back from Chaos, it would probably be hard to pay the tithe.

With the attitude of those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is very likely that they will end the hive world like this once and for all, so it would be easier to just destroy them all.

If there was no necessary rescue mission, even Leon didn't think there was any necessary value in retaking the planet.

Shaking his head and driving away distracting thoughts from his mind, Leon realized that the mission was the highest priority after all, and the rest... put it aside for now. Leon turned to look at Tucker, and through the helmet, a low voice came out: "Have you seen this person?"

As he spoke, he unfolded the holographic projection on his arm, and a young and immature face of a teenager with brown hair and black pupils appeared in the eyes of Tucker and others.

"Isn't this our company commander?"

Diz took a quick glance and when he saw the holographic face, he was so surprised that he couldn't help but speak out.

"Do you know him?"

Leon was a little surprised. He thought that the most difficult part of this mission was how to find the target. He didn't expect to encounter a surprise as soon as he arrived. Tucker seemed to have guessed something. His expression was a little strange, but he still said truthfully: "Yes, respected monk, we know him, Alvin Valxius."

"Yes, where is he?"

Leon put away the holographic projection, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Take us to see him quickly."

Sure enough, it wasn’t the Empire’s reinforcements… Although he had already guessed it, Tucker still felt a little disappointed after seeing Astartes’ reaction.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Leon thought there was something wrong.

"Respected monk, I have a question..." Tucker knew very well that if he questioned an angel of the Emperor, he would most likely cause unnecessary trouble, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, "You...you, are you here to save us?"

Leon was wearing a helmet, so his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

However, the sudden silence, mixed with the suffocating atmosphere and the red light of the helmet augury instrument, made the atmosphere become much more solemn and even a little cold.

Sometimes, silence... is the answer.

Tucker laughed at himself, and returned to his shameless look. He waved his hand and said, "Hey, just treat it as a fart. Don't worry about me. I'll take you to find him now."

Tucker waved his hand and asked the rest of the 3rd Company to follow him. "Let's go, boys. It's a great honor to fight alongside the Emperor's angels. Cheer up and don't embarrass us, Roselle!"

Leon stopped where he was, staring at Tucker's back, and let out a soft, barely perceptible sigh.

How could he not know the meaning of Tucker's question just now?
However, although the Astartes are the Emperor's angels, they are not omnipotent, and there are still many times when they are powerless.

It was like this ten thousand years ago; it will still be like this ten thousand years later!
"Have the Thunderhawk gunboats stand by. Once we find... find the target person, evacuate immediately."

Feelings are feelings, and reason is reason.

Leon is a wise man. No matter how much sympathy he has personally, he must make the mission his top priority. This is the scripture that a qualified Astartes must follow!
In the dome-shaped temple of the state religion in the Upper Nest, Galken looked at the location of the Astartes marked on the holographic map with deep meaning, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Respected Great Sage Rosales, I have bad news to inform you... A tactical team of Astartes monks with about 30 people has landed on the surface of the planet, and their location is at the edge of the Upper Nest."

Soon, a holographic image appeared.

It was the angry Rosales. He glared at Galken, his voice clearly filled with anger: "Galken, why would an Astartes come to this planet?!"

"Don't worry, respected Sage Rosales." Galken said calmly, "Just a few Astartes, isn't that normal? Besides, there are only three tactical teams landing, not a single battle group. There's no need to panic. Everything is under control."

"It better be as you say, Galken."

Rosales stared at him grimly and sneered, "I hope you don't get yourself into trouble in the end."

"How could that be? Please don't worry."

Galken's lips curled up into a sinister smile, and he said grimly: "I just feel that this play is not exciting enough."

Great, you’re here!
Otherwise, wouldn't all the surprises he prepared be wasted? The more the better!
Galken closed his eyes, his lips curled up slightly.

He seemed to see the crystal maze located on the endless rainbow plateau, changing endless colors like a painting. Deep in the mirror where hope, pain, dreams and nightmares overlapped, the great Lord of Change chuckled.

Brothers, I'm not trying to make you feel bad, this fever is like I'm TM positive, my whole body is in pain, my throat is in pain, and I'm having diarrhea. I'm just relying on IV drips to survive. Please be careful, this could be some new type of virus. Many people here have been infected. I've been relying on my saved drafts to get through these few days
