I don’t know how long it took, when Vinia struggled to get up from the ruins and corpses, she found that the Eldar had disappeared, and the surviving malicious warriors stood on the battlefield like a group of lost statues, or simply stood back to back. Sitting on the ground, the hall fell into continuous silence, and the distant roar gradually disappeared.
"What--"
Vinia took off his helmet and vomited blood as soon as he said a word. He looked down at his abdomen. He didn't know what had made a big gash. Although it was scabbed, it was still bleeding, and his right hand and the glove were together. Exploded to pieces by a mini-missile.
Few of the living people present were intact. Almost all of Castor's jaw had disappeared, and only half of his tongue was still trembling in the air when he breathed.
Yellow and black armors can be seen lying everywhere on the ground. The number is difficult to count, but judging from the few living people, this is probably the most painful loss for the malicious warriors in the 41st millennium.
He looked around and saw not a single Eldar in sight.
Could it be that support has finally arrived?
At this time, a faint voice came from his almost damaged communicator.
"Vinya? Vinia? Are you still alive?"
So he answered feebly.
"Alive, part"
"The Eldar suddenly left! I have sent a transport plane to pick you up!"
"Are the imperial reinforcements coming?"
"No, not really. I don't know why the Eldar retreated."
"Many of our people died, including the pharmacist. We need to send people to recover the gene seeds."
"We have already sent them out. This debt will not be settled just like this, but now the spirit tribe may not have gone far. We have to leave immediately. After the investigation is clear, we will make them pay with blood!"
Soon, Soshyan, who was far away in Angstrom, received the news that the Malicious Warriors Chapter, which had only been in the Maelstrom for a few months, had left the Maelstrom and went to rest in a place they thought was safe.
The one who brought the news was Veronica, who Soshyan thought she would not be able to come back for the time being.
"Although the waves caused by the Chaos Servants have caused some minor troubles, this storm is not enough to block the Lilith Shrine. However, you will definitely not be able to teleport there, so I will be fine."
After the long-lost passion, Veronica lay on Soshiyang's chest and told in a lazy tone what had happened these days.
"Sir Doral has already taught those malicious warriors a lesson. Gamora is also here this time, but I have warned you not to kill them all. After all, a war group was suddenly wiped out by 'alien' in the war zone you are responsible for. The Inquisition and the The Council of High Lords will definitely intervene. As the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, I am afraid that you will have to spend time and energy to investigate and explain. If you give them a little loss and shock, they will leave the maelstrom on their own."
Soshyan, who was staring at the ceiling in deep thought, put his arm around his wife's shoulders after listening, brushed his palms against the smooth and delicate skin, and whispered:
"Thank you. I did have such worries before. After all, the destruction of a war group is not a trivial matter. Terra will definitely ask questions. Even other war groups in the war zone will have doubts, and the inquisitors will flock to investigate. , there will inevitably be a lot of trouble, and it is enough to drive them away. I must concentrate on dealing with Huron now, and cannot let others seize any excuses to make a fuss."
"Oh, I've been with you for so long and you still don't know what the Human Empire is like, but then again, that Velez?"
Soshyan did not hide anything about what happened with Velez before, and had told Veronica the whole process.
After a moment of pause, Veronica raised her upper body with her elbows, then held Soshyan's face and said with a smile:
". She has done this, and you actually hold back? What surprises me the most is that I know this. You don't like fat people, right? The fat on your chest and butt is really disgusting."
Soshyan forced out a slightly embarrassed smile.
"How should I put it? I am also a Space Marine. This little bit of willpower. And by human standards, it is not normal to be fat. It is just normal."
"Oh, so, I really found the right one to be a Space Marine as my husband? But having said that, it is basically certain that someone is controlling her behind the scenes, and it should have nothing to do with the enemy. I am not very familiar with your human history. , what kind of power do you think it might be? Is it related to the Lord of Humanity?"
"Speaking of this, I secretly asked people to investigate the mark and poem tattooed on Velez's back. Fortunately, there are a group of cultural and historians stranded in Angstrom, and some of them identified the mark from The origins of Terra's extremely remote ancient times are almost unknown. There is only one name left, the Seal of Andromeda with the Sword. Its meaning and symbol are also unknown. In addition, the poem is also very ancient and has no People can't tell the specific origin, but they can only infer that it is related to an ancient king named King Solomon in ancient Terra. If you want to know the real details, I'm afraid you have to go to Terra to find the most senior ancient history scholar."
Veronica snorted softly after hearing this, and lay back on him.
"You're going to Terra now, and you're not going to be skinned alive by those Imperial Guards who are like corn on the ears?"
"Eared corn. What a strange metaphor you are talking about. I will definitely not go to Terra because of this kind of thing, and it is not a place that I can go to if I want to, especially Astartes."
"It's best not to go. It's not a nice place. There's something I didn't want to tell you, but I'm afraid you'll find out later and blame me for not telling me."
"Um?"
"Victor sent an assassin to assassinate me. He carried the most deadly poison and poisonous needles made by the Haemonculi, but he was discovered by Lord Doral in time."
"ah!?"
Soshyan suddenly became nervous and held the opponent's shoulders with both hands.
"It's not hurt."
"He was not injured. After I captured that guy, I extracted his mind and found that he was more than one assassin. But just when I wanted to know the specific identities of the other assassins, the self-destruction mechanism in his brain was activated."
"How did he get in?"
"I can't say. Over the years, many compatriots have come to the royal court through various channels. Among them are wanderers who have left their Ark home, compatriots in the wilderness who have lost their home planet, displaced pirates, and even Como. There are tens of thousands of escaped slaves and low-level warriors from Luo, and the composition of the people is so complex that Sir Doral cannot conduct a detailed review in a short time."
"Well, this is indeed a problem. Then why don't you go back for the time being."
Veronica stretched out her finger and tapped Soshyan's forehead, smiling:
"You, as a queen, if I am scared away by an assassin like this, how will you make the new people who come to serve me feel? Moreover, if this failure fails, other assassins will definitely lurk temporarily, and there will be no more assassins in a short time. Don’t worry about the second time.”
Soshyan gently held her hand.
"I will not let anything threaten your safety. This matter will not be forgotten like this. When the war in the Maelstrom is over, I will discuss with Sir Doral how to put an end to this matter once and for all."
Veronica kissed his lips gently.
"Let's wait until we finish things here. Let's talk about it back here. The only clue now is that Velez's power may be related to some lost ancient Terra history. Is it possible that it is related to her family?"
"I don't know that either."
"Hey, it seems we have to continue the investigation. By the way, how is the war going now?"
"The Hurons surrounded Angstrom, but they did not take the initiative to attack on a large scale. Instead, they kept reinforcing the planet they occupied and continued to increase their troops. Their strategy is probably to wait until we can't sit still and then take the initiative to attack. They, this way they don’t have to worry about the defense power of the forging world, it’s a very smart idea.”
"Then I guess you must have a counter-encirclement and central bloom, right?"
"Ha, that's true. By the way, there's something I almost forgot to mention."
