From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 399
c389 “Then sacrifice all the believers of God on the Earth”
!
Kronto, who thought that the Headless Horseman would sprint quickly and trample him and his sister to death, could not help but hug Carrie tightly, close his eyes, and wait for “death” to come.
He extremely regretted agreeing to his sister’s request and taking advantage of his father’s duty to wander around the town going through the reconstruction period.
If he and his sister stayed at home after buying potato chips, drinks and snacks, how could they encounter the Headless Horseman? It’s even less likely to be life-threatening.
?
But after waiting for a moment, Kronto realized that he was still alive, and after hearing and feeling the movement not far in front of him, he mustered up the courage to open his eyes.
? ! ? !
The moment they opened their eyes, Cronto, his sister Carrie, and the local residents present discovered that another giant had appeared “out of thin air” between them and the Headless Horseman.
I saw the giant in front of me wearing extremely heavy, gorgeous and exquisite “knight” armor.
There is a giant lion cloak hanging behind him, and in his right hand he holds a giant sword also engraved with the lion glyph. At first glance, Klontor and the local residents would mistake him for the legendary “Paladin”.
But the giant did not wear a helmet, revealing to the outside world that although he was handsome, he had rather old-school blond back hair and a curly beard.
And that giant is the third son of the Emperor of Mankind and the Primarch of the Dark Angel Legion——
Leon.
Of course, Klontor, Carrie and the local residents have no way of knowing yet, but the giant in front of them is actually a Primarch.
Although the personnel of the Inquisition used the Imperial Church to transmit the “Human Codex” and the ideas of the Empire to the local residents, they would introduce the Emperor and his “demigod” sons, but the local residents’ concept of the Primarch was still Somewhat blurry.
Besides, the Emperor had quite a few sons.
The local residents had only been exposed to the “Human Codex” and the concept of the Empire for less than a month, so naturally they were unable to remember and identify each Primarch.
“Wow!”
On the other hand, Carrie, who was simple-minded, did not think as much as her brother. After seeing the majestic Leon, she couldn’t help but sigh:
“Brother! He’s so handsome. Why don’t you become an Emperor’s Angel in the future! Like this… ugh…? Wow!!”
Before Carrie could finish speaking, Cronto raised his hand to cover his mouth.
Kronto didn’t want to attract the attention of Leon and the headless horseman because of his sister’s words at this time.
The best option now is to “wait and see.”
From Kronto’s perspective, he was not 100% sure whether Leon was really on their side.
The people around him also shut up and stared at Leon’s back nervously.
After all, the originally aggressive Headless Horseman stopped after “seeing” Leon’s appearance, causing the situation to fall into a strange confrontation.
Only the auxiliary army responsible for evacuating the crowd immediately saluted Leon.
Although the auxiliary troops all wore face-covering helmets, making it impossible for others to observe their facial expressions, judging from the slightly panicked behavior of the auxiliary troops, the expressions of the auxiliary troops should be mostly surprised and shocked.
Obviously they did not expect that the Primarch of their legion suddenly appeared not far in front of them.
But Leon just looked behind him with his peripheral vision, and his cold eyes scanned everyone present.
However, Leon’s eyes stayed on Carrie for a moment longer.
As the Primarch, Leon is not like his younger brother Magnus, who can display and control pure spiritual energy at will, but Leon also has spiritual talents that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Apparently, Leon noticed something different about Carrie.
Then, the Primarch set his sights again on the Headless Horseman, who was slightly taller than him even though he was headless, and ordered to the auxiliary army:
“Continue to escort the local people to evacuate, and then inform other departments. They are not allowed to interfere with any actions of the Dark Angels without authorization. At the same time, they are not allowed to change the original course of action without my order.”
After saying that, without waiting for a reply from the auxiliary army, Leon stepped forward and approached the Headless Horseman not far away.
“Everyone! Go! Hurry!”
“Don’t look back! Run forward with all your strength!”
The auxiliary army, as well as the synthetics, advance team and Judicial Department agents who received the order from the original body, hurriedly led the local people to quickly evacuate the square of the Imperial Church.
These elite elites of the empire knew that if the original body started to fight “unrestrained”, not to mention the imperial church, and even the entire town would “suffer”.
The agents who were originally affiliated with Atlas ARS (Rapid Reaction Force), but participated in the extermination of the fallen Greek gods, and were incorporated into the Inquisition Department, should be the ones who know best what kind of strength the Primarch has. Batch people.
When Sanguinius and Horus killed Artemis, Poseidon, Zeus and other fallen gods, they caused the Olympus volcano, the tallest and largest volcano in the solar system, to tremble violently.
It even almost caused the Olympus volcano, which had been silent for millions or tens of millions of years, to erupt again.
So after seeing Leon arriving in person, preparing to deal with the Headless Horseman, who seemed to be as powerful as Satan, the empire’s elites breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they became nervous and hurriedly led the local residents to evacuate.
——
Looking at Leon’s side;
He walked unhurriedly towards the stunned Headless Horseman, and glanced at the two company guards who were once again in a state of “suspended death”.
As for the seven Greek demigods who were also paralyzed on the ground, not knowing whether to live or die, he simply ignored them.
Leon’s face is expressionless now, but people who understand Leon’s nature, such as his father Sui Yang and adoptive mother Alexia, can tell at a glance that he is sulky now.
Because the elite of the Dark Angels were defeated “again and again” by the hell and heaven of the “One Three” universe, which really made Leon feel unhappy.
This Primarch believes that his own legion has the strongest individual combat strength among all legions.
Leon knew that it was “reasonable” for Galan Clovis, the Company Champion and Company Guard of the 1st Company of the Dark Angels, to be defeated by Satan, the Lord of Hell.
But the headless horseman who came out of nowhere in front of him defeated two company guards again. This…
It was a bit of a slap in Leon’s face.
Leon, who was originally in the “Doom” universe and was busy with legion expansion matters, had actually been paying close attention to the trends of “Trench Crusaders” (13).
Through Garland’s report, we learned that the church that believed in God and the forces of heaven was preparing to retaliate against the border towns under the empire.
After Soap, Athena, and Galan were ready to take the initiative to relax their guard, lure the church to expose themselves, and try to obtain arrangements to the heavenly plane, Leon directly applied to his father for permission to lead his direct troops to participate in ” 13″ Matters of the unification of the universe.
To this.
Sui Yang naturally had no reason to refuse and happily approved Leon’s request.
After receiving the approval, Leon personally led the Glory Guard, whose individual strength was no less than or even crushing the company champion among the legions, to arrive at the “One Three” frontline base first.
The so-called Honor Guard is the “bodyguard” of the original body of each legion.
Each Glory Guard is carefully selected and formed by the original body. Therefore, the Glory Guards of each legion are different in terms of number of people, weapons and equipment, and also have the unique style of each original body.
For example, Leon’s brother Guilliman’s Honor Guard of Ultramarines has as many as 4,000 soldiers, which is comparable to Magnus’s entire Thousand Sons Legion, also known as the “Victorious Army”.
And Leon did not carefully understand the composition of the Ever-Victorious Army. Moreover, the establishment, tactics and areas of expertise of the members of the Honor Guard are all confidential. Even if they are close brothers, Guilliman is not generous enough to share the Ever-Victorious Army with Leon. Army files.
However, Leon’s criteria for selecting the Glory Guards are “ability to fight” and “obedience”.
The Honor Guard of the Dark Angels is also known as the “Paladin”, and each Paladin is an elite veteran who has participated in many battles while still a minor after completing the gene seed transplantation operation.
The total number of people is 300.
This is more than ten times less than the victorious army, but each paladin is equipped with a cavalry type, Hades type and unyielding type terminator. The dwarf craftsmen in Terraela also forged exclusive weapons for each paladin.
It can be said that Leon’s “savings” over the years were used up to create a direct-affiliated force.
While the Glory Guard was deployed to the “13” frontline base, Leon directly activated the stealth mode of the power armor, crossed the no man’s land alone where the poisonous fog gradually dissipated, and came to this border town for secret observation.
After watching the individual videos of Galan and others breaking into hell, especially the scene of the first level of Lingbo, Leon instantly understood the activities of heaven and hell.
The Lord of Hell, Satan, was instantly killed by Garan, who was possessed by his father, but this does not mean that Satan’s individual strength is weak. On the contrary, Satan can still be ranked in the human empire no matter what.
Although not as good as the other primarchs, she is similar to Athena who did not get her father’s gun.
Therefore, Leon was worried that when the church launched a retaliatory sabotage operation against border towns, it would most likely summon high-level combat forces from the heavenly plane to the physical universe by sacrificing fanatical believers.
The Heretic Tribunal has made corresponding arrangements for this, and now, more than a hundred Greek minor gods are surrounding the Imperial Church.
In less than ten seconds, the group of Greek minor gods whose individual combat power is stronger than ordinary Astartes will appear within Leon’s visual field of vision.
According to Leon’s analysis, the headless horseman in front of him faced more than a hundred Greek minor gods, and there was only one end, which was “death”.
But as the original body of the Dark Angel, Leon could not accept that the Headless Horseman was killed by the Greek minor gods affiliated with the Inquisition after seriously injuring two company guards.
In addition, Leon also discovered that the target of the Headless Horseman seemed to have been transferred to a human girl (Carrie) with psychic potential, and then he chose to show up to stop the Headless Horseman.
now.
The moment Leon came into attack range, the Headless Horseman swung his giant sword and slashed at Leon’s neck.
Buzz—boom—! !
The trajectory of the giant sword’s swing cannot be captured by ordinary people, and when it is swung, it also creates an extremely deafening sonic boom.
but–
Clang~——Zheng——chila——! ! !
However, with two metallic “clangs” and the sound of the sharp blade cutting flesh smoothly, the headless horseman was already split in half by Leon’s lion king’s giant sword, even the “human” armored one.
Thump. Thump!
The headless horseman, who had split into two halves, swayed for a moment, then fell to the ground one after another, making no movement.
And a looming red light, when it broke away from the “two-petal” body of the Headless Horseman, was all [absorbed] and [digested] by the Lion King’s giant sword in Leon’s hand.
Ordinary physical attacks can only drive the Dual Knight back to the heavenly plane, but cannot really destroy him.
But Leon’s Lion King Greatsword directly turned him into “nutrients” to boost his father’s spiritual power.
! ! !
The more than 100 Greek minor gods who rushed to the scene only felt a flash of silver light, and then the battle between the Primarch Leon and the Dual Knight had already been decided.
Even they couldn’t see the trajectory and movements clearly
How fast was it?
The Greek minor gods were shocked by the strength shown by the Primarch.
However, Leon was too lazy to care about what the Greek minor gods thought. He put the great sword into the scabbard hanging on his waist, then turned to look at the technicians who had evacuated the church square with the crowd, and used the communication to order:
“Come and collect the bodies.”
After saying a few words, Leon stepped out of the square and walked towards the center of the town.
When the technicians heard the order and learned that the threat to the square had been lifted, they returned to the church square to collect the body of the Dullahan and to treat the seriously injured company guards and Greek demi-gods on the spot.
The people who had originally evacuated to the safe area, including Krontor, Carrie and others, also had to undergo re-examination and quarantine.
The elite imperial forces participating in the operation were also not allowed to carry out other tasks in a short period of time.
After all, the Biological Department needed to fully analyze and test the Dullahan to ensure whether it was contagious.
In addition, a Phoenix-class support boat belonging to the 1st Company of the Dark Angels also appeared in the sky. A large number of Pelicans and Silver Gulls left the hangar, carrying more technicians and auxiliary troops, and even Astartes pharmacists rushed to the town to implement a comprehensive ban and medical assistance.
However, among the many aerial vehicles, there was a Thunderhawk gunboat from the “13” front-line base.
Immediately afterwards.
The gunboat, which was twice as big as the ordinary Thunderhawk and painted mainly in black and dark green, landed in the central square of the town.
When the gunboat stopped and the hatch opened.
Six paladins equipped with iron cavalry terminators escorted Serin out of the cabin and came to Leon, who killed the headless knight in seconds.
Serin raised her head slightly, her eyes flashing with lavender light, and said: “Judging from the characteristics of the abnormal creature, it must be the Apocalypse Knight War recorded in the Bible.
According to the archives of the Inquisition, the Church of the 13th must have sacrificed a large number of believers to the heaven plane to turn the nun into a carrier and summon her to the physical universe.”
“Heh, sacrifice.”
Leon seemed to have guessed what Serin said long ago, and walked straight into the cabin of the gunboat and continued:
“Then sacrifice the God believers of the entire 13th Earth to open the portal to the heaven plane.”
