Chapter 493 Son of Hydra
Phaeton Forge World.
Baseband is obsessed with the underworld scarab, and spends all his time eager to decipher the secrets in the dead metal in space.
Shi Lan was left behind by Xiao Fei, and the Titan under construction in Wutai had some problems that needed to be solved by the space ape.
Fu Qinghai returned to Suzheng alone and began to deal with some daily official affairs that had been backlogged before.
"Khan, there was news last week that alien traces and chaos pollution appeared again in the Octarius sector. The Ministry of Military Affairs dispatched the Iron Buddha Chapter to deal with the matter."
Lin Yu picked up the briefing and read.
"What is the size of the enemy?"
"There is currently only one AgriWorld Alert."
Fu Qinghai casually ordered:
"Send the Thirteenth Company aboard a strike cruiser to the Octarius sector to resolve this matter."
"OK."
Lin Yu immediately started making arrangements.
The Thirteenth Company was responsible for guarding the Marquez King District during the Battle of the Iron Ring. Even according to the general rotation garrison logic, it was time to send them out this time.
On the other hand, Fu Qinghai is currently in the gap between reincarnations and there are no major plot events happening, so Fu Qinghai doesn't really want to fight in person. You can gain both assimilation points and loot by fighting during major events in the plot line, but there are no reincarnation points to earn from fighting during the gap between reincarnations. In contrast, Fu Qinghai is not very motivated and just wants to send his men to fight.
Of course, military orders cannot be avoided, and problems must be dealt with. A company of Space Marines plus a specialized strike cruiser is enough to handle most problems.
"Next item."
Fu Qinghai said calmly.
“Traces of pirates found in Kronos Expansion…”
Lin Yu continued to report.
…………
at the same time.
Calixis Sector, Sintila Hive World.
No. 56 was walking alone in the alley.
The Chief Intelligence Officer of the Iron Buddha Chapter has become accustomed to working alone. Unless the Chapter faces a major battle that requires all members to gather, he almost does not participate in daily combat tasks. Qingshan Khan gave him this authority, allowing him to concentrate on lurking. Calixis Sector Development Intelligence Network.
This is the correct usage of the Agent Corps.
No. 56 had just concluded an intelligence meeting with his subordinate "Splatto". Sparato, also known as "The Sower," was a mortal agent trained by the Alpha Legion to infiltrate the target locals in advance and act as spies, traitors, instigators, and saboteurs. They will foment rebellion, spread disinformation, and find and take over underground rebel or terrorist groups. They are also responsible for stirring up dissent, creating panic, and damaging infrastructure, trying to weaken enemy resistance before the Legion enters the fray.
Now, No. 56 is still working diligently to train his "Splatto" mortal agents, with the goal of mastering all intelligence information in the Calixis sector in the future, and if possible, even sending information to other stars in the Obscure Star Territory. area spread.
In the dark and narrow alleyway between buildings.
There was a dense tangle of wires and cables overhead.
While walking, No. 56 suddenly stopped.
The long and narrow alleyway was still silent except for the ticking of sewage from time to time, the airflow blowing through the air ducts, and the occasional loud noise coming from several blocks away. However, No. 56 could clearly feel it, or it could be said that his intuition was reminding him.
He was being followed.
No. 56 was not wearing a helmet, and his face was gloomy under the hood. He slowly raised his head and glanced around.
In the world of Cintila's nest city, a place where he had planned and penetrated for a long time, who dared to ambush him here?
Stalking an alpha warrior?
Ambush a son of Hydra?
"So, you noticed it, right?"
A slightly familiar voice sounded above his head.
Number 56 slowly raised his head and looked up.
In the shadows of the surrounding building windows, tall figures wearing power armor emerged one after another.
No. 56's pupils slowly narrowed when he saw the armor's painting - peacock cobalt blue supplemented by black dragon patterns.
It's his parent group, the Alpha Legion!
No. 56 was surrounded. A full tactical team had occupied the surrounding favorable terrain, armed with bolters and chainswords, surrounding him. These Chaos Space Marines wore Legion-era MK3 armor and MK4 armor, and their muzzles were pointed neatly at No. 56 without making any unnecessary noise.
"No. 56, do you still remember me?"
A dark shadow slowly appeared above his head.
Although the other person's whole body was shrouded in a black silhouette, No. 56 still recognized the voice.
"teacher!?"
No. 56 looked in disbelief:
"You're actually still alive?"
"Of course I'm alive."
The black shadow jumped down, then landed steadily, shook off his robe, and walked towards No. 56.
"No. 56, I still remember that I chose you at a glance in that hive city, a silent, calm and ruthless young killer. You were so ignorant and ambitious back then. I was the one who asked you to join Legion, it was I who cultivated you, it was I who trained you, it was I who made you become 'Alfrican'... And I still remember that before I left, the last order I gave you was to let you To infiltrate the Iron Warriors as an undercover agent... instead of joining a White Scars and serving the Corpse Emperor."
The black shadow walked and said, walking to the light, revealing his true form - a chaos wizard. He is wearing a set of finely crafted power armor, with a beautiful green human leather cloak on his back. He is holding a purple staff of unknown material. The hollow shape on the top of the staff is the symbol of the Lord of Change. The symbols on his shoulder armor and arm armor are The snake scale relief shape is exquisitely crafted. Only the thin spikes on the edge of the armor and the skull-shaped exhaust nozzle tell others:
This is a Chaos Space Marine.
Aifrican, also known as "Headhunter". A special organization within the Alpha Legion that specially selects those uniquely talented Space Marines to infiltrate other Astartes legions as undercover agents through forged files, plastic surgery, etc. Almost every Legion, regardless of loyalist or traitorous, has some Space Marines within it who have been replaced by Efreken. Those who can become Aifrican are the core members of the legion.
"Are you wondering why we sneaked into the Calixis sector to look for you, investigate you, and ambush you, but your mortal agents were unaware of it?"
The Chaos Wizard laughed hoarsely:
"No. 56, don't forget that all your skills, including how to train Sparato, how to disguise yourself, and how to spy on intelligence, were all taught to you by me."
"As your teacher, am I still unclear about what methods you have and what tricks you know?"
The Chaos Wizard asked with a smile.
Number 56 remained silent.
His teacher, Dinat Marr, was the former 6th Captain of the Alpha Legion and the one who led him to join the Legion and become a Space Marine. The flow of information in the galaxy was blocked, and No. 56 did not know that his teacher was nicknamed "The Crow Plague" because he successfully ambushed and massacred the Raven Guard during the Great Purge at the Battle of Lyx.
During the Horus Heresy and the Great Purge, the twin Primarchs of the Twentieth Legion were (suspectedly) slain by Rogal Dorn and Roboute Guilliman respectively, and the entire Legion subsequently disbanded into multiple Chaos warbands. They did not enter the Eye of Terror, but wandered around the Eastern Galaxy, fighting and causing trouble according to their own ideals.
Since then, No. 56 has completely lost contact with his teacher. The last order he received was to go undercover in the Fourth Army. After a series of battles, I met Fu Qinghai and Qiao Shida, and then they were tricked into joining... I never thought that one day I would see my teacher again.
The Milky Way is so big, even if it is his teacher, No. 56 does not believe that the other party can easily find him hiding in the Calixis sector - this has nothing to do with any special agent methods! It wasn't until he saw the staff in the teacher's hand that No. 56 finally woke up. It turned out that the other party had already surrendered to Tzeentch, so it was not surprising that he could find him - after all, there is a completely unreasonable kind of thing in the Warhammer 40K universe. The method of obtaining metaphysical information is called "prophecy".
The circle of encirclement is gradually shrinking.
The surrounding Chaos Space Marines are approaching step by step.
"Disarm you, Number 56."
Dinat Marr said calmly:
"Surrender to me, this is your only way out. For the sake of our teachers and students, I can accept you into my war gang. Don't worry, you have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. According to that great plan, you must cooperate with us Break into the Iron Buddha Chapter, then wait for an opportunity to disintegrate them, and finally kill Qingshan Khan... Think carefully about what to do."
"teacher……"
Facing a circle of gun muzzles around him, No. 56 sighed bitterly. He slowly raised one hand to indicate that he had no weapons, and pressed the magnetic lock button on his waist with the other hand. The plasma pistol, Seiko power sword and pulse bolter hanging on his waist and thighs all fell to the ground. , and then raised his hands.
Express your surrender.
Damn it...
No. 56 blamed himself in his heart. There was not a single troop of the Iron Buddha Chapter stationed in the entire Calixis sector, and now he had no choice but to call for support.
But this is not over yet.
"I know who you are, Number 56."
Dinat Marr stared at him with narrowed eyes.
"Open your consciousness, don't resist, I want to enter your mind and see your true inner thoughts. Then I can determine whether you really want to surrender."
"You know me as I know you."
No. 56 helplessly raised his eyes and looked at each other:
"Come on, teacher, I won't hold anything back."
In the Warhammer 40K universe, a very common method used by psychic psykers is to directly enter the target's mind to forcefully explore the other person's thinking, or to speak directly into other people's minds. This trick is disgusting, but many inquisitors and think tank leaders will use it. As a chaos wizard who believes in Tzeentch, Dinat Marr naturally has this method.
In the Harry Potter universe, this method is a very classic magic trick - Legilimency. Voldemort and Snape are both famous Legilimency masters.
Unfortunately, the counter-spell of "Legilimency" - "Occlumency" - happened to be the first magic that No. 56 learned in the Harry Potter universe.
The teacher and student looked at each other quietly.
Dinat Marr suddenly frowned:
"Your mind is empty..."
No. 56 raised a smile on his lips:
"Of course, I know that you want to corrupt my mind. You call it probing my true thoughts, but in fact you want to forcefully instill the instruction of 'assassination Qingshan Khan' into me. I understand you, just as you understand me, I Dear teacher."
The Chaos Wizard looked incredible:
"Can you...read minds??"
An Alpha warrior next to him noticed something was wrong and was about to pull the trigger. However, No. 56 moved faster. He pointed his finger at the other person and shouted:
"Expelliarmus! (Expelliarmus)"
"Wow!"
The bolter in the Chaos Space Marine's hand suddenly came out of his hand, flew uncontrollably towards the wall behind him, and stuck firmly on the wall of the alleyway with a "snap".
"Stupefy! (passed out)"
"Petrificus Totalus! (Total Petrification)"
Spell No. 56 was fired in succession.
A Chaos Space Marine suddenly felt dizzy, staggered forward a few steps, and fired randomly with the bolt gun in his hand. Several rounds hit the breastplate of No. 56 and caused a splash of sparks. More bolts directly hit his teammates. On the body.
Another Chaos Space Marine had drawn his sword and was about to strike, but suddenly his whole body froze and was unable to move. He stopped in place like a sculpture. The Space Marine behind him couldn't move enough and almost collided with each other. No. 56 ducked into the opponent's arms to avoid a few shots. He took out the bolt pistol from the opponent's waist, grabbed his arm as a shield with one hand, and passed the gun under his arm with the other hand. Venomous snakes generally have their heads tilted backwards.
"Snapped!"
The plasma shot into the sky, and one shot hit the head.
No. 56 raised his hand and fired again.
"Snapped!"
The bomb penetrated the eyepiece and blew open the helmet.
The Alpha Warrior who was under the petrification curse was also headshot.
"Impedimenta! (Obstacles)"
With another obstacle spell, the Chaos Space Marine was like an insect trapped in invisible transparent slime. The air around him was viscous, pulling and restraining him. His speed suddenly slowed down, and his entire movement turned into a slow motion in the movie.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
No. 56 emptied the magazine in one breath, then threw away the bolt pistol, grabbed a heavy chain sword, and fought with the rushing Chaos Space Marines. Swing the sword to block the opponent's sword edge, and pierce the enemy's lower abdomen with one sword. Kill another person!
No. 56 pounced forward to avoid the two slashing chainsaw axes, picked up the Seiko Power Sword from the ground, and cut off the enemy's knee joint with a sweeping sweep. He rolled sideways on the ground, turned around and faced upwards, then kicked his feet violently and slid back a little. He didn't know when he was holding a pulse bolt gun in his arms, and he pulled the trigger on the incoming enemy. !
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The cross tongue of fire suddenly bloomed.
The Chaos Space Marine suddenly fell to the ground.
In the flash of lightning, a swarm of Chaos Space Marines swarmed over and all lay down on the ground. Dinat Marr stood outside the encirclement with a staff in hand, watching coldly as No. 56 massacred his former comrades, killing several Chaos Space Marines in a few seconds. He clenched the staff tightly in his gauntlet:
"enough!"
The end of the staff hit the ground hard.
A circle of invisible ripples spread out around him.
Including No. 56, all the Space Marines were instantly knocked away by this psychic impact. They fell to the ground and smashed against the wall. The originally crowded and narrow alleyway suddenly became empty of vision. The Chaos Wizard walked over with his staff in hand, staring coldly at No. 56 lying on the ground.
The wait is now.
"Imperio! (soul out of body)"
Number 56 shouted the spell again.
The Chaos Sorcerer was just on guard when he suddenly noticed that a Chaos Space Marine at his feet was shaking all over, then raised his head and let out a sigh of happiness, then suddenly raised the muzzle of the bolter and pulled the trigger on his Chaos Lord.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The densely packed explosive bombs were all embedded in the invisible psychic shield, and then detonated one after another into balls of fire. The firelight was also blocked by the psychic shield, and the light faded away in front of this invisible barrier.
"Fancy."
Dinat Marr commented.
Number 56 used the legendary Imperius Curse, controlling the Chaos Space Marines to fire at the Chaos Sorcerer, hoping to catch him by surprise, but the opponent was not afraid at all.
The Chaos Wizard raised his hand to grab it, and No. 56 suddenly floated into the air. He struggled desperately in mid-air, trying his best to mobilize negative emotions, raising his fingers with all his strength and shouting:
"Avada Kedavra!"
At the end of No. 56's raised fingertips, a burst of emerald green lightning suddenly bloomed. This winding lightning struck hard on the psychic shield, causing the shield to dim and flicker. However, until the lightning was completely extinguished, it still could not Breaking through the psychic shield... Dinat Marr is still fine.
Two of the three unforgivable spells were used.
No. 56 is already at the end of his rope.
The Chaos Wizard clenched his hands suddenly.
"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"
No. 56 was suspended in mid-air, trembling and unable to move. Arc sparks burst out from the gaps in the power armor. With a harsh noise, the entire breastplate was pulled off by psychic power, revealing the complex servo parts inside, followed by the plastron. , arm armor, leg armor, greaves...the entire set of MK8 anti-rebellion powered armor was peeled off piece by piece.
"Look at your armor and your paint... You betrayed the Son of Hydra, you betrayed Alpharius. I didn't expect that my student turned out to be a traitor."
The Chaos Wizard shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"You betrayed humanity, bastard!"
No. 56 struggled to squeeze out his voice.
"Huh?"
The Chaos Wizard ignored his accusation. Instead, he seemed to have discovered something new and said in surprise:
"Your armor is actually trying to repair itself? It's interesting, it's interesting, whose handiwork is this?"
Dinat Marr raised his head:
"Qingshan Khan?"
No. 56 had all his armor stripped off, and there were some black electronic muscle fiber lining remnants hanging on his naked body. He was fixed in the air, all the muscles in his body were squeezed by invisible forces, and his neck kept twitching and he couldn't speak.
"Chuck...cluck..."
There was a hissing sound in the throat.
"When death is imminent, what else do you want to say?"
The Chaos Wizard took two steps forward, tilted his head to No. 56's mouth, pretending to listen to his last words, and then relaxed his control slightly so that he could speak.
"Giggle...uh-ho."
No. 56 took a breath, and his neck finally stopped twitching. Then he lowered his gaze, looked tiredly at the Chaos Wizard in front of him, and said in a regretful and slightly sighing tone:
"What I want to say is..."
"You're too close to me, teacher."
What's the meaning?
Dinat Marr has not yet reacted.
Strange cobalt blue gel suddenly poured out in large amounts from No. 56's eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth. In the blink of an eye, the Space Marine turned into a terrifying muscle giant, tearing open the blood covered with dense teeth. Pen big mouth suddenly bites down.
"Crack!"
The popping sound closed crisply.
Everything above the shoulders of the Chaos Wizard disappeared.
"Plop..."
The headless corpse slumped over.
The staff rolled sideways.
The Great Demon of Tzeentch fell into a series of traps.
Already failed in the first ring.
The symbiote retracted into the Alpha Warrior's body, and No. 56 landed firmly on the ground. There was no time to think or express, and no time to celebrate the victory. He quickly walked towards a Chaos Space Marine who was seriously injured and dying. He squatted down, grabbed his neck armor and pulled off his helmet. He looked at this depraved man who looked exactly like himself. Stat, No. 56 asked loudly:
"Tell me, where are they? Where are the other Space Marines? It is impossible for a Chaos warband to only have this small number of troops. What about the others? What is your real goal?"
"Uh...it's too late."
The Space Marine's eyes were dull, a large amount of blood foam gushed out of his mouth, and dense crimson bubbles filled his three lung cavities.
"You guys, it's too late..."
Then his head tilted and he died completely.
No. 56 stood up slowly.
His face looked shocked and even a little frightened.
He doesn't need the other person to speak, as long as the other person is thinking about it, his mind-reading ability can get the answer.
The battle group must be notified immediately!
No. 56 casually picked up a tattered robe, put it on and immediately ran away. He ran quickly through the lanes of the hive city, turned a corner, jumped over a bridge, and quickly climbed to the gray stone fortress, a thin A long and towering purple-black stone tower—the Astropath headquarters of Sintila Hive.
However, the door has not been opened yet.
No. 56's heart had sunk to the bottom.
The strong and pungent smell of blood reminded him.
No. 56 raised his hand and pushed open the ajar door.
as expected.
The entire Star Language Hall was littered with corpses.
All the Astropaths fell in a pool of blood.
"I must return to the Chapter's home planet immediately!"
Number 56 murmured quietly.
Without too much hesitation, No. 56 turned around and left, heading straight for Sintila's space port.
