"Captain, there's nothing here!"
Just as the Ultramarines were distracted by the false trap, a figure hiding in the darkness behind them smiled maliciously and attacked with sharp claws. The captain felt as if his head was hit hard.
It was a terrifying and powerful blow. If it weren't for the protection of the platinum helmet, Sels' head would have exploded.
However, Midnight Haunter had already decided to kill. He found the closed interface of the helmet by trickery, exerted all his muscles, and used incredible skills to open the matching helmet buckle.
The next moment, Captain Searles' head had disappeared, and a huge amount of blood spurted out from his carotid artery, several meters high, falling in the room like heavy rain.
A brave Ultramarines Captain was killed in a sneak attack. If it had been a fair fight under the sun, he should have been able to hold out longer with the defensive power of his adamantium armor.
But this is in the darkness, which is the territory of the Night Haunter.
The other team members immediately opened fire. The flashes and explosions attracted the attention of more guards. Koz laughed out loud and disappeared again like a ghost in the darkness.
The remaining warriors only felt their hearts pounding. From the Midnight Haunter, they felt a fear that they had not felt for a long time.
They are not afraid of death, as the ultimate fate of a soldier is death, but they are afraid of dying in humiliation without even reaching the enemy.
"Where is he! Tell me!" The communicator on his chest was screaming. It was the roar of field commander Fratus Auguston.
The field commander was also in Hera Castle at this moment, but he was in another direction.
"Midnight Haunter has disappeared, Captain Searles has died."
"Damn it!" On the other side, the furious Auguston turned off the communicator. The Ever-Victorious Army guards around him were forming a battle formation with him.
"This may be a trap, sir." The Ever-Victorious Army remained calm and advised.
If the Night Haunter really wanted to kill them, he only had to put in a little more effort, and Captain Sayles's men wouldn't have had a chance to answer.
"It's better to do something than nothing!" Auguston's temper was still hot. He turned his head suddenly, but saw a team of dark angels wearing dark green power armor following him.
The leader was Grand Master of the Deathwing, Houguin, who was ordered by the Furious Lion to assist the Ultramarines in capturing the Night Haunter.
"Do what you want, Commander." The Dark Angel's voice came from the power armor's speaker.
"Follow me!" Auguston led his men to the place where Conrad Curze had just appeared, and the dark angels followed the Grand Master's footsteps and chased after him.
After arriving at the battlefield, the Ultramarines, at Auguston's signal, surrounded and dispersed along the corridor, while the smaller number of Dark Angels formed teams to guard several important doors and windows.
Auguston also had no confidence that he could stop Conrad Curze, but being able to do something was one thing and whether to do it was another. The field commander would rather die than sit here and watch the Midnight Haunter slaughter his soldiers!
Chapter 197 Auguston's Tragedy
"Everyone release flares, move in small groups, and move towards me at the same time."
"Be careful and stay alert. Watch your back. That bastard would love to chop off your head from behind."
Auguston's orders were issued one by one, and the Extreme Warriors in the entire Hera Castle immediately found their backbone and began to act in an orderly manner.
This normally reckless commander of the Extreme Warriors actually has an unusually delicate mind.
"The enemy is moving towards the Memorial Hall. All teams muster up, and focus on guarding the entrances and exits of the Hall of Blades and the Temple of Correction. We can't let him escape again! Macragge City is so big, how can we trap him in a room again?"
The Primarch's voice came from the communicator, and Guilliman once again boarded the hovercraft and headed towards Hera Castle.
His voice was a little dissipated due to the strong wind speed.
"Don't be impulsive, Auguston. I order you to wait until we arrive before you act!"
Guilliman knew the temper of his field commander, a man who would only take the opportunity he thought was right to do something very risky.
"Oh? Roboute's voice, are you looking for me?"
Suddenly, Guilliman's voice was cut off, replaced by the harsh sound of the Night Haunter, like a blade scraping against bone.
Night Haunter used a communicator to hack into the Ultramarines' communications system.
With a bang, the huge crystal chandeliers above Auguston and others exploded, and all the lights dimmed one by one along the damaged circuits.
The only things left on the ground were flares thrown by the Ultramarines.
When darkness falls, the ghost that wanders in the midnight will come.
Auguston stood still, he was as strong as a high wall, especially his strong interaction force armor made him look two times bigger than Hou Guin.
"You are such a ghostly loser, what else can you do besides hiding in the dark and attacking others? Get out of here, you gutter rat!"
"You scum of Nostramo, you have come to the bright and clear Macragge. Is the sun here blinding you, you scum who is afraid of the light!"
The commander's helmet visor flashed with scanning and analyzing beams. His finely crafted power armor was equipped with more functions and was much better than the mass-produced ones of ordinary extreme warriors.
The corner of Houguin's mouth twitched slightly. This son of Guilliman is really... different.
He had thought these blue cousins were all serious.
But Auguston's mouth was really powerful, and he kept on using all kinds of strange and bizarre swear words. Hou Guin even wondered where he learned all these.
But then, his intuition was warning him that there was no more time to think and react. Hou Guin swung his beheading sword and crossed the space behind him according to his feeling.
However, an irresistible and terrifying force knocked him away, and the ceramic steel's fine power armor instantly shattered and cracked, relieving him of more damage.
The Dark Angel beside him was not so lucky. The mercy and forgiveness of the Midnight Ghost split him in two from top to bottom, and a large amount of internal organs and blood spurted out.
"This is the normal feel, not like those damn iron lumps."
Koze's voice came from the ceiling like a ghost. He killed a Death Wing veteran with ease and even had time to evaluate the feel of his move.
Hou Guin's blood was boiling, and he felt that his plate-like sternum had been shattered. The power armor was urgently injecting painkillers and adrenaline to keep him capable of fighting temporarily.
"It's hard to attack the Ultramarines, so you're going to attack us, right?"
The Deathwing Grand Master cursed in his heart, their cousins were all wearing adamantium armor, while the First Legion was still wearing the old-style Mark series power armor.
When facing the Primarch's weapons, wearing armor is only slightly better than not wearing any, at least the body will be relatively intact.
Auguston didn't hesitate for a second. He chased Conrad into the darkness. He looked around and kept spewing out repeated curses.
"You lowly coward, you Nostramo bug, come out and fight like a man!"
After witnessing the horror of the Midnight Haunter, Auguston did not restrain himself at all. On the contrary, his fighting spirit was growing stronger and stronger, and he was eager to confront the Midnight Haunter head-on.
Suddenly, the face of the Midnight Haunter appeared upside down in front of Auguston, and the pair of eyes as dark as black holes stared straight at the commander. He could even see the pale skin that looked like a dead person, and the disgusting dirt attached to it.
His long black hair was tangled up in a sticky, dirty ball, and his sharp teeth like shark teeth protruded wantonly. Conrad was laughing.
"Damn it, could you please pay attention to hygiene!"
"It stinks!"
Auguston suddenly said something shocking, and even Midnight Haunter was stunned for a moment, because in his prediction, this reckless man did not say this curse.
The speed of the Night Haunter required extreme concentration to catch up with. Auguston's precision bolter emptied a magazine but didn't touch Conrad at all.
The commander threw away his bolter without hesitation and rushed to the possible location with his power sword activating the decomposition force field.
Another Dark Angel was slain, and this time his head was removed and thrown away, rolling to Auguston's feet.
"Come face me! Coward!"
Auguston was unyielding and continued to tease the Midnight Haunter with words. His eyes were calmer than ever before, and all of this was to lure Conrad out of the darkness.
The next moment, mercy and forgiveness stabbed Auguston in the lower back, and Midnight Haunter appeared behind him at some point, trying to pick out the kidney of the Ultramarines commander.
However, the answer he got was just that the adamantine power claw was blocked by the armor made of strong interaction force material. It was like stabbing an impenetrable iron plate, and the force was swung away and unloaded due to the arc design.
"Are you stupid? The power armor I wear is the best!"
Auguston seized this rare opportunity. He hugged tightly the Midnight Haunter who was trying to kill him from behind. Every finger of the power glove was squeezing the power of the antimatter furnace. The transmission devices gathered greater power, allowing the commander to catch Conrad.
This was the long-awaited opportunity. If Auguston had not worn these new armors with amazing defensive capabilities, he would have had all his internal organs ripped out by the Midnight Haunter and then died of bleeding and exhaustion.
"Fuck it, after I kill you I'm going to apologize to Lord Luo Xi. The things he invented are damn useful."
Auguston stabbed behind him with the activated power sword, but Midnight Haunter dodged it deftly, and the sword only cut through his tattered cloak.
People who don't know Auguston may think that this commander is best at bravery, but only those opponents who fell under his sword know that this arrogant warrior's swordsmanship is also extraordinary.
The heavy beheading sword danced like a nimble hummingbird in Auguston's hand. He feinted and swung the sword to block the two creepy golden power claws at his waist.
The power of the Midnight Haunter was terrifying. Auguston only felt that he was wrestling with an industrial forging machine. He contracted his biological lungs violently, and bloody fragments of internal organs were shaken out of his mouth.
Relying on the defensive power of the armor on his body, Auguston was even able to fight against the Midnight Haunter for a short time. However, as time went on, the commander realized that the situation was sliding towards an extremely unfavorable side.
This damn Nostramo was trying to figure out the structure of the Star-type Terminator. He just made a feint and pretended to be merciful by continuing to attack Auguston's throat, but in fact he wanted to use his joint skills to remove the Extreme Warrior's helmet.
Without the protection of a helmet, Auguston knew that his opponent would chop off his head within the first round.
This is a pure difference in speed and strength. Perhaps the difference in strength is not that great, but in terms of speed, especially reaction speed, the two are completely on two orders of magnitude.
Auguston, who was overly enthusiastic, finally remembered the Primarch's instructions that he should delay Midnight Haunter instead of thinking about killing him with his own strength.
"It's too late. I've already figured out your weakness." The whispering voice of the Midnight Haunter rang in his ears, and Auguston was suddenly struck by lightning. The other party released a nightmarish psychic attack.
The Midnight Haunter's psychic powers gave the commander a split second of synaesthesia, and the endless torment of hallucinations poured out along the bridge of psychic power.
He was able to glimpse into the Primarch's heart, which was a devastated ruin and the despair that followed repeated shattered hopes.
In a trance, Auguston saw the Emperor falling in a pool of blood, and the Lord of Mankind was sent to the Golden Throne, enduring ten thousand years of pain.
He saw the Gene-Father falling on a battleship, and a six-armed, snake-tailed monster demon cut Guilliman's throat with a poisonous blade.
His iron will was instantly shattered, and Auguston's eyes went blank until the power claw named Mercy found the tiny weakness on the goggles. The power claw, empowered by the Midnight Haunter's psychic energy, pierced the commander's goggles and directly into his eye socket.
It was an indescribable pain. Auguston only felt that his eyeballs were torn apart in an instant, and perhaps half of his brain. The platinum power claw wanted to go deeper, but was stuck by the helmet.
"You wanna kill me? Die together!"
The commander pushed his power sword with all his strength, and the crackling decomposition force field finally touched the flesh of the Midnight Haunter. He pierced Conrad's back with one sword, narrowly glancing at the spine and emerging from the other side.
It was a devastating blow, and the Deathwing Grand Master, who was still trying to get up from the ground, saw a horrifying scene: a large amount of hot blood gushed out of the visor of the Ultramarines commander's helmet, and he stood in a pool of his own blood, with his power sword deeply inserted into the Midnight Haunter's back.
The real Chogoris top laner Auguston
Chapter 198: Micromanipulation Master Dantioch
The Midnight Ghost, who allowed the Lion King to hunt him for sixteen weeks and escape safely, and who also slaughtered people on the Indomitable Truth, is an enemy that countless Dark Angels dream of killing.
Faced with this ghost who was more difficult to deal with than any previous enemy, the seemingly reckless and brainless Commander Auguston actually caused visible damage to him.
