Chapter 288 The Rise of the Primarch: The Mysterious Visitor

Military boots stomped dully across the quartzite floor, and pairs of military boots flew across the ground one after another. Their owners rushed through the narrow outer corridor of the deck with laser guns, and the marines wearing bulletproof breastplates rushed out from under the arched deck entrance door.

In front of them, a strong sergeant with a large-caliber shotgun pointed to the support column area on one side and shouted orders to the marines. The soldiers who received the orders immediately turned in front of the sergeant and rushed into the colonnade. They rushed to the wide steel support columns and the bulletproof shields set up in the gaps between the supports.

Laser guns stretched out from the shooting openings, and the soldiers behind the iron columns leaned the laser guns against the columns, their eyes pointed at the pier gate opposite the deck through the sights on the back of the laser guns.

Colonel York stood in the middle of the deck, with a Death Ray gun hanging on his chest and a Stormtrooper reflective armor on his body. Wearing a red beret, the colonel looked around at his men. Teams of Marines were rushing into the pier deck from all directions. They hid in the surrounding positions and formed an arc-shaped firepower network for the entire pier gate.

Colonel York watched seven or eight soldiers work together to push a heavy bolter into the position. They inserted the end base of the bolter into a gun shield design opening, and then the soldiers at each locking point quickly put on the wrench and locked it. The bolter carried the laser gun across his back and sat behind the bolter. As he pulled the bolt hard, he held the butt and trigger tightly.

With the roar of the engine, York looked to the other side and saw a Leman Russ coming out of the huge deck vehicle entrance. The huge main battle tank roared with a dull engine sound, and the tracks rolled heavily over the ground before driving into the deck.

A large group of accompanying marines ran past the two sides of the Leman Russ. As the tank stopped, a marine slid and stopped behind the front armor of the Leman Russ. He extended a laser gun from a corner of the armor, and several other comrades behind him squatted behind him with a rocket launcher.

On the pier deck, the destructive firepower defense line was formed. York was confident that no matter what came out of it later, he and his men could beat it into slag before it could breathe.

"Are you ready?" the man behind Colonel York said. The colonel turned his head and looked at Vito who was walking over with his gun. He held the trigger of the laser gun with one hand and moved it to his armpit, aiming the black muzzle at the gate of the pier.

"Ready, no matter what is inside, even if it is a big demon, I can send it back to the subspace for repair."

The colonel said confidently, he really had this confidence. Vito looked around at the troops waiting in battle and nodded affirmatively. Vito walked to the colonel and looked at the still closed gate of the pier.

The indicator light of the docking hatch has not yet lit up, which means that the other ship has not docked yet. As the docking of the two ends of the pier is completed, when the gate is opened, if the other party is an unwelcome person, this place will immediately become a battlefield.

But Vito was not worried about the problem here. With the current density of firepower around him, in the narrow and unprotected pier with nowhere to hide, he would take all the direct fire with his face no matter what came. Even a Khorne Daemon would be torn into pieces in an instant.

Especially if there were three Astartes.

Three burly heavy armored giants stepped onto the deck. Eisenstein, the leader, straddled a chainsaw sword. He strode on the deck with heavy steps and roared. The marines on both sides looked at the Space Marines passing by, and then held their weapons more firmly.

Eisenstein, Bell, and Loken walked behind Vito together. The three of them nodded to Vito, and the latter nodded silently in response.

Then Loken raised his head and looked at the pier gate in front of him. He stared at the closed door panel, and countless closed structures were still locked on it. "Do you know what we are facing?"

"I don't know, I can only confirm that it is a Space Marine battle cruiser." Vito looked at the three Astartes and said. After the three looked at each other, Bell took a step forward.

"What is the regiment number? Did the other party respond?"

"Yes, the Mystic Sword Regiment, but if I remember correctly, this regiment disappeared in the Empire a long time ago. I vaguely remember that it disappeared during a holy war expedition."

"Maybe they got lost in the warp, and after a long voyage, they finally found a friendly warship, so they approached?"

Vito listened to Bell's words, his eyes turned back and stared at the closed door, "It's possible, but it's also possible."

A Space Marine warship that has been lost in the warp for centuries? Then it suddenly appeared, and now that the warp storm is so raging, it suddenly appeared on the route of the Infinite Frontier? Compared to the Emperor's blessing, another possibility is a little greater.

"They may have been corrupted. This may be a trap, a trap to lure us to let down our guard." Eisenstein said, holding the chainsaw sword on his waist. Indeed, this possibility is not small. The corruption and betrayal of the Space Marines are not isolated, not to mention a war group that has been lost for hundreds of years.

"Perhaps we should believe in our brothers. In this critical moment of survival, we need to unite all our forces." Loken said on the side, and Eisenstein looked at Loken and shook his head.

"The relationship between the current Space Marines is no longer harmonious after the Horus Heresy. My ancient brother, anyone and any Chapter may betray. Even if there is no betrayal, the thoughts of many Chapters are still there. They have become paranoid and twisted in endless battles. They are anything but normal people, and we must remain vigilant.”

Eisenstein said as he slid his palm downwards, holding the hilt of the chain sword // with his huge palm. Loken was obviously still a little confused. He could not understand the paranoia and distortion that Eisenstein meant.

But this is not his fault. After all, during the Great Crusade, even the World Eaters, Night Lords, and Death Guards, who were already very paranoid and crazy, were still a well-disciplined army. Their discipline and obedience made They still maintained their usual calmness and rationality as warriors. Even the craziest World Eaters still had someone as calm and rational as Kahn.

"Believe what Eisenstein said, Loken, prepare your weapons. This era is no better than the Great Crusade, and the same goes for the Space Marines." Vito frowned and looked at the trestle indicator light in front of him, the scarlet light flashing in front of him. Closed doors on both sides.

Loken looked at the illuminated indicator light and unhooked the bolt gun holster on his waist. He quietly opened the magnetic lock and put his hand on the butt of the gun. Bell beside him also pressed the bolt gun. Trigger, the wide muzzle slowly raised upward to the ready position.

"They are docking, the trestle is locking, be ready." Cole's voice sounded in Vito's communicator. Vito nodded to Colonel York beside him, who raised his gun and fired at the man behind him. The soldiers raised their hands.

Following the colonel's signal, all the surrounding soldiers tightened their grip on their weapons. The bolt machine gun shooter pressed his finger firmly on the trigger, and the melta shooter pressed one palm on the back shell of the gun body, and the other With their hands firmly on the firing trigger, the soldiers around them pointed their guns at the flashing red door.

As the red light of the warning light continued to flash, the huge trestle gate began to open the closing points one by one. The rotating heavy-duty mechanical locks opened to both sides. The blocking steel pillars also squeaked and moved up and down into the holes. The gate The upper transmission axis begins to rotate.

The commander of Leman Russ stood in the hatch. He patted the top cover of the turret. As the commander shouted into the vehicle, the huge muzzle aimed at the door with the rotation of the shaft motor. Leman Russ A cannonball was filled into the black muzzle.

Vito listened to the sound of the shells entering the chamber, and his eyes were always locked on the slowly opening door in front. The heavy trestle door began to open to one side under the action of the heavy door latch and the movement axis. The round, thick explosion-proof The door rolled through the deeply concave jagged notches, and as it rolled, the door gradually opened.

There was a dull sound of footsteps from inside the gate. It was the unique sound of armor-clad Space Marines. They were walking from behind the trestle door on iron steps. The sound of bolters and chainswords scraping against their armor was heard. Clearly audible.

Vito looked at them, at the blue-armored Space Marines who walked out of the door. The three warriors behind him also subconsciously clenched their weapons. They stared at these Space Marines wearing dark blue power armor. They stood on the big At the door, everyone stood silently in front of the door and stopped.

Vito looked at them. He looked at the logo on their shoulders. It was indeed the logo of the Mysterious Sword Chapter, except that there was a big silver snake coiled around the sword.

He took a deep breath and looked at the Space Marines who were wearing helmets. No one took off their helmets. "What is the purpose of your coming here? Who is your leader?"

The mysterious warriors of the Mysterious Sword did not speak. Vito frowned slightly as he looked at them. He stared at the silent helmeted faces of those warriors. They stood there, looking at Vito and his party with pairs of invisible eyes. people.

"You guys, why are you here?" Vito continued to ask. His hand had already lightly pressed the bolt gun. As Vito pressed the weapon, Eisenstein, Bell and Loken all held their hands. With their weapons locked, their eyes were fixed on these mysterious warriors in front of them. The smell of gunpowder filled the trestle, and the gunpowder barrel only needed a tiny spark to explode.

Vito's hand slowly pulled the trigger of the bolter. He stared at the soldiers in front of him. All the marines behind him were ready to fire. Everyone's fingers were on the trigger, their eyes Behind the crosshair, look forward without blinking.

But at this moment full of gunpowder, the warriors of the Sword of Mystery took a step back, and out of them came a warrior who was dressed completely differently from them. He was wearing a set of gray-green power armor without wearing any on his head. He wore a helmet instead of a gray-white hood, and the robe connected to the hood floated slightly on his body as he walked.

He wears two guns on his waist, one blaster and one plasma, but the most eye-catching thing is the sword he carries behind his back, a huge knight sword with wings spread on the hilt. With the sword blade attached to his back, he walked through the warriors of the Mysterious Sword and stood in front of everyone.

"Meeting an old friend, long time no see, Vito." He said in a vicissitudes of life and a slightly hoarse voice. The face covered under the hood raised slightly and looked at Vito with his gray-blue eyes.

Vito watched him let go of his hand holding the gun. Eisenstein looked at Vito who let go of the weapon. He looked at the surprised Vito looking at the mysterious man in the hood in front of him.

"Seph?"
