Chapter 135: Everything is Under Control

Bang!

The scorching bolter rifles poured out the blessings of hell!

That was the wail of death. The bullets pushed by rockets, with strong kinetic energy, forcibly tore the defense line composed of demons to pieces!

In fact, those demons who came to the material universe from the Warp rift were all small, insignificant demons, so the Astartes' advancement speed was extremely fast, without any obstacles at all!

The heavy footsteps stepped on the funeral march of death!

The sound of bolter fire was the Emperor's fury!

Stepping on the broken corpses of countless demons, the tactical squad of twenty-plus Astartes broke into the planetary defense orbital facility and successfully joined Tark and the others.

Yan Liang scanned roughly and gave the order: "4th and 5th tactical squads, responsible for security and clearing threats."

Then, Yan Liang walked to the mortal resistance troops who were trembling and a little terrified with heavy steps.

The local defense forces with lower status couldn't help but kneel down when they saw the Astartes, crossed their hands on their chests, and performed the Aquila salute to express their respect and reverence.

And Tark was obviously much more comfortable. Facing the high-status Astartes, he just struck his heart with his right fist.

The reason was simple. He had seen many Astartes in Catachan and Cadia, and the initial filter in his mind had almost fallen off.

Yan Liang noticed the medal worn on Tark's chest at a glance. It was the Iron Sky Eagle, which would only be awarded to Imperial Guard soldiers who had made heroic feats: "Are you a retired Imperial Guard soldier?"

"Respected Astartes, I once served in the 175th Regiment of the Astra Militarum and participated in the Cadian Campaign." Take reported his resume and revealed a proud expression.

Upon hearing Cadia, Yan Liang revealed a little respect. Although separated by a helmet, his tone became a little softer than the initial coldness: "I have heard of that battle, but unfortunately... we couldn't participate at that time."

"That is all in the past, Astartes."

Tark was a little bitter. In his military career, the Cadian Campaign was the most miserable one they lost.

Fortunately, Yan Liang didn't intend to ask too much, so he said: "I need to know the current situation of this planet, including information about the enemy, etc."

"No problem, respected Astartes."

Tark sorted out his thoughts and quickly said all the known information.

"So, is there only one gathering place at present?"

Yan Liang frowned. Although he had guessed that the situation on this planet was very bad before coming, it was rare for it to be this bad.

How to describe it...

Generally, in this situation, it wouldn't be the Astartes' turn to be dispatched. It should be to find an Inquisitor, contact the Imperial Navy, and then fire a few macro-cannons or cyclonic torpedoes in space orbit.

After all, the only value Losel can take out is some minerals, but this little benefit, even if taken back from Chaos, is probably enough to pay the tithe.

For a Hive City world like this, with the style of those people in the Administratum, it would likely be once and for all, and it would be more trouble-free to destroy it completely.

If it weren't for the rescue mission that must be carried out, Yan Liang wouldn't even think that retaking this planet had any necessary value.

Shaking his head and expelling the distracting thoughts from his mind, the mission priority was ultimately the highest. The rest... put it aside for now. Yan Liang turned to look at Tark and transmitted a low voice through the helmet: "Have you seen this person?"

As he spoke, he unfolded the holographic projection on his arm, and a young, immature face with brown hair and black eyes entered the eyes of Tark and others.

"This... isn't this our Company Commander?"

Ditz peeked and was surprised to exclaim after seeing the face of the person in the holographic image.

"You know him?"

Yan Liang was a little surprised. He originally thought the hardest part of this mission was how to find the target, but he didn't expect to encounter a surprise as soon as he arrived.

Take seemed to have guessed something; his expression was a bit strange, but he still said truthfully: "Yes, respected Astartes, we know him, Alvin Valerius."

"That's right, where is he?"

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

Sure enough, it's not the Empire's reinforcements... Although he had guessed it, Tark still couldn't help but feel a little desolate after seeing the Astartes' reaction.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Liang saw him standing still for a long time and thought there was some problem.

"Respected Astartes, I have a question..." Take knew very well that questioning one of the Emperor's Angels like this would very likely bring unnecessary trouble, but he still gritted his teeth and braced himself to ask: "Are you... are you here to save us?"

Yan Liang was wearing a helmet, and his expression could not be seen.

But the sudden silence, mixed with the suffocating oppressive atmosphere, and the red light of the helmet's auspex, all made the atmosphere much heavier, and even a bit cold.

Sometimes, silence... is the answer.

Tark smiled self-deprecatingly and returned to his rogue-like appearance, waving his hand: "Hi, just treat it as if I let out a fart. Don't worry about me, I'll take you to find him."

Saying that, Tark waved his hand and let the remaining people of the 3rd Company follow: "Let's go, boys, being able to fight side by side with the Emperor's angels is a huge honor. All of you, cheer up, don't lose face for our Losel!"

Yan Liang stood in place, staring at Tark's back, and let out a sigh that was almost imperceptible.

How could he not know the meaning of Tark's question?

But, although Astartes are the Emperor's angels, they are not omnipotent, and there are still many times when they are powerless.

Ten thousand years ago, it was like this; ten thousand years later, it is still like this!

"Let the Thunderhawk gunship stand by. Once we find... find the target person, we will evacuate immediately."

Emotion is emotion, and reason is reason.

Yan Liang is a sensible person. No matter how much he sympathizes personally, he must prioritize the mission. This is the Codex that a qualified Astartes must follow!

In the Upper Nest's Ecclesiarchy domed cathedral, Galken stared meaningfully at the Astartes position marked on the holographic map, the corners of his lips raised: "Respected Archmagos Rosales, there is bad news to inform you... an Astartes tactical squad of about thirty people has landed on the planet's surface, located in the edge area of the Upper Nest."

Soon, a holographic image appeared.

It was the furious Rosales, who glared at Galken, his voice clearly containing anger: "Galken, why are there Astartes on this planet?!"

"Don't be anxious, respected Archmagos Rosales." Galken was unhurried and said calmly: "A few Astartes, isn't it normal? Besides, only three tactical squads landed, not a Chapter. There is no need to panic, everything is under control."

"It better be the same as what you said, Galken."

Rosales stared at him gloomily and sneered: "I hope that in the end, you don't play yourself out."

"How could that be, please rest assured."

Galken outlined a sinister smile and said grimly: "I just happen to think this show is not wonderful enough."

Good, coming well!

Otherwise, the many surprises he prepared would be in vain! The more who come, the better!

Galken closed his eyes, the corners of his lips raised.

He seemed to see the crystal maze sitting on the endless rainbow plateau, changing into infinite colors, like a painting, deep in the mirror surface where hope, pain, dreams, and nightmares overlapped, the great Lord of Change let out a light laugh.

Brothers, it's really not that I'm selling misery to you. I have a fever like I'm positive, with severe body pain + severe throat pain + diarrhea, purely relying on IV drips to survive. You guys be careful, it might be another new virus. Many people here are infected. I'm purely relying on saved manuscripts to support these few days. ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
