Chapter 1439: The Fall of Iron Tooth Star

Sebastian raised his Chainsword, the roaring sound of the rotating teeth echoing through the great hall.

"For the Emperor!"

He charged forward first, the Sons of the People Space Marines behind him roaring in unison; Bolters fired, Chainswords activated, and they lunged toward those Orc Imperial Guards.

Gokazi raised his giant Battle Axe and roared loudly.

"Broken Bone never falls! Kill all the Two-legged Sheep!"

The Imperial Guards charged up, the beams of their Energy Guns crisscrossing in the dim great hall.

An Imperial Guard raised a Battle Axe and slashed at Sebastian; Sebastian dodged to the side, and his Chainsword swept upward from below, the blade slicing across the Imperial Guard's abdomen, tearing open the heavy armor as blood gushed out.

The Imperial Guard screamed and fell to the ground; another Imperial Guard rushed over from the side and swung his Battle Axe horizontally; Sebastian raised his left arm to block, the axe blade slamming into the Power Armor's vambrace, sending sparks flying.

Sebastian's right-hand Chainsword stabbed into the Imperial Guard's chest, the blade piercing through from the back; he pulled it out, and the Imperial Guard collapsed.

A Sons of the People Space Marine rushed toward two Imperial Guards, his Bolter firing continuously; two bolter rounds hit the first Imperial Guard in the head, shattering his skull.

The second Imperial Guard raised his Energy Gun and fired at the chest plate of the Power Armor, leaving a scorch mark; this Sons of the People Space Marine slashed his Chainsword onto the guard's shoulder, then kicked his knee, causing the Imperial Guard to kneel; the Sons of the People Space Marine pulled out his Chainsword and split open his skull.

Another Sons of the People Space Marine rushed in front of an Imperial Guard, his blade stabbing into the guard's abdomen and sweeping upward, splitting open the chest cavity.

Turning around, he swept his Chainsword horizontally, severing the neck of another Imperial Guard.

The warriors worked in small squads, Bolters and Chainswords coordinating, and the Imperial Guards fell one after another.

The Rune Yinjì on their bodies flickered under the bombardment of the bolters and shattered when slashed by the Chainswords, the dark red light extinguishing.

On the floor of the Wangzuo Ting, the corpses of the Imperial Guards lay in disarray, blood flowing along the gaps in the stone slabs.

Gokazi watched his Imperial Guards fall one by one, endless rage surging up; he raised his giant Battle Axe and charged toward Sebastian.

"Two-legged Sheep! Give me your life!"

Sebastian met him, the Chainsword colliding with the giant Battle Axe, sparks flying everywhere.

Sebastian blocked the giant Battle Axe, and the Chainsword slid down, slashing toward Gokazi's fingers.

Gokazi let go, the giant Battle Axe nearly slipping from his grasp; he gripped the axe handle tightly and swung horizontally.

Sebastian stepped back, the axe blade grazing his chest plate and leaving a scratch.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Gokazi mocked.

Sebastian dodged another swing from Gokazi and slashed his Chainsword toward Gokazi's right arm.

Gokazi screamed, his right arm fell off, and the giant Battle Axe dropped to the ground.

Sebastian pulled out his Chainsword, fresh blood spraying from the wound and splashing onto his Power Armor.

Gokazi grabbed the giant Battle Axe with his left hand, trying to lift it, but Sebastian's Chainsword had already descended, severing his left arm.

The giant Battle Axe fell to the ground; Gokazi had lost both arms, and blood gushed from the stumps, dripping onto the stone slabs.

Gokazi knelt on the ground, his body trembling, glaring at Sebastian.

"You... you..."

Sebastian did not look at him, turning to face the great hall; the battle was already over.

Gokazi knelt there, blood flowing more and more, his face turning pale.

His Liaya were stained with his own blood, and he shouted loudly.

"High Priest! High Priest! Activate the Magic Array! Let us perish together with these Two-legged Sheep!"

There was no response; Gokazi shouted again.

"High Priest!"

Still, no one answered.

A bad thought surged in Gokazi's heart; he had previously ordered the High Priest to activate the Self-Destruction Array beneath the Wangzuo Ting, just in case he lost, so he could perish together with the enemy.

"High Priest! Where are you? Activate the Magic Array!"

The side door of the great hall was pushed open, and two Sons of the People Space Marines walked in, escorting the High Priest.

The High Priest's Bone Staff was broken, his robes were stained with blood, and there were wounds on his face; he was pushed to stand before Sebastian and knelt on the ground.

Gokazi looked at the High Priest, his voice trembling as he spoke.

"High Priest! You... you..."

The High Priest raised his head, looking at Gokazi, his voice hoarse.

"Great King, we have lost; the army of the Two-legged Sheep has already occupied all positions around the Wangzuo Ting, Iron Tooth Star... is lost."

Gokazi's eyes widened, his body trembling violently, the wound on his severed arm still gushing blood.

"Impossible... impossible... how could the Broken Bone Empire... lose... how could it lose to the Two-legged Sheep..."

Sebastian walked to Gokazi and looked down at him.

"Your empire, before the Emperor's legions, is not worth mentioning."

Gokazi raised his head, looked at Sebastian, and spoke.

"You... damned Two-legged Sheep..."

Sebastian raised his Chainsword, cutting off Gokazi's words.

"The Emperor sentences the Broken Bone Empire to death; the executioner is the Sons of the People Chapter."

The Chainsword swung down, and Gokazi's head rolled from his neck, falling to the ground, rolling a few times, and bumping against the steps of the throne.

Sebastian turned off the Chainsword and sheathed it back at his waist.

He looked at Gokazi's headless corpse, which tilted forward and slammed onto the ground.

"Report casualties."

The Adjutant's voice came through the Communication Device.

"Comrade Chapter Master, the Sons of the People Chapter has forty-one wounded, zero dead. Tailin Knight House, six Knight Mechs are severely damaged, zero dead. Rescued compatriots are still being counted."

Sebastian said.

"Collect the remains of our kin, treat the surviving kin, and clear the battlefield."

The Adjutant said.

"Received."

Sebastian turned and walked out of the Wangzuo Ting.

On the plaza, the warriors of the Sons of the People were assembling.

Several Orc captives knelt on the ground, hands behind their heads, surrounded by Space Marines holding guns.

In the distance, the buildings around the Wangzuo Ting were still burning, black smoke rising.

The flag of the Broken Bone Empire drifted down from the tower, fell to the ground, and was trampled into the mud.

Sebastian stood in the center of the plaza and pressed the Communication Device.

"Notify the Orbital Fleet and have that Orc Jiate come down."

The Adjutant said.

"Understood."

The communication cut off.

Sebastian looked into the distance, where the rescued Human kin were walking out of the detention points, being guided by the Auxiliary Army to board the Transport Aircraft.

A Sons of the People Space Marine walked over and stood beside Sebastian.

"Comrade Chapter Master, how should we deal with the captured Orcs?"

Sebastian said.

"Wait for my order."

"Yes."

Sebastian connected to the Tailin Family channel and spoke.

"Comrade Walun, the Task of the Tailin Knight House is complete; thank you for your support."

Walun's voice came through the Communication Device.

"Received, Comrade Chapter Master, the Tailin Family is ready for deployment at any time."
