Chapter 459: Rebirth From the Ashes: Alpharius

Inside the flashing multifunctional reconnaissance telescope, countless data charts, distance display units and altitude parameters cooperate with each other, accurately presenting the direction observed by the telescope to the user.

This type of telescope is widely used by the Empire, especially the artillery in the Star Army, because the automatic infrared capture unit on it can calculate the distance and gun position, which can save them a lot of work.

Unfortunately, Vito can't use these functions. First, he doesn't have a gun at hand, and second, he is at the edge of the battlefield, more than ten kilometers away. Even if there is a gun, it is estimated that it can't hit the city wall.

Vito's eyes look at the magnificent Titan moving forward through the telescope. The tall warlord-level Titan is followed by a large number of armored vehicles. The rolling steel torrent is accompanied by the giants moving towards the city wall, heavy artillery roars, and light spears are shot.

Under the flickering battlefield sky, there is a huge Krieg Corps accompanying it. They rush to the city wall from the distance of the barren wasteland, all over the mountains and plains, and they look like a group of tiny ants from a distance.

Among the ants, even taller giant beings called Space Marines were also looking forward. Iron cans in power armor were running around with big strides. They rushed past the two sides of the giant at a very fast pace, and fought fiercely with the demon army in the wasteland in front of the city wall with an unstoppable front.

Vito put down the telescope. In front of him was a mirror image that most humans could not understand or even believe. It was a battlefield, a war in this dark galaxy.

The hot fire wind blew from the battlefield and danced on Vito's face. The wind came from the air waves raised by the Titan's heavy turbo cannons. The wind mixed with the countless explosions on the battlefield blew Vito's hair.

He stood on the hillside, holding a telescope in one hand and overlooking the sea of ​​fire below. There were more Krieg staff officers holding telescopes around him. They stood on the exposed rock ridge with walkie-talkies and data maps, and kept raising their hands to talk and give instructions to their colleagues beside them at the battlefield in front of them.

"Looks good, right? You're all back." Vito knew Bell approached without looking back. The Ultramarines in blue armor walked up the hillside. He was covered with ashes and dirt, with one hand on the bolter hanging on his waist.

"Yes, the Chaos defense line has been breached. Captain Eisenstein is leading his soldiers to support Lancelot. He was counterattacked by the Khorne demons."

Even though it has been so long, they have been promoted to chapter leaders, but the old habits are still retained. Bell still calls Eisenstein and Loken captains, just like he still calls himself the Inquisitor from time to time, even though he is now wearing the Emperor's golden armor.

Vito picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield in the distance. On the river beach that had long dried up outside the city wall, the coalition forces of the Dark Angels and the Imperial Fists were standing with a red army of demons. When the battle was over, the river valley would flow again, but this time it was a stream of blood.

"I can feel a Chaos rift in the city wall. That's where the Khorne demons appeared. Have you encountered the same trouble there?"

Vito turned his head slightly to the side behind him, and Bell also looked in that direction and bowed slightly. "Captain Loken." "Hello Bell."

Loken also came. He came alone without any guards or followers. The captain of the Luna Wolves, or the person who should be called the leader, tucked his helmet under his armpit and strode up.

"No, no, the Chaos demons did not appear on the southern front, so my people completed the assault mission smoothly and are waiting for the next order."

Loken and Bell stood together. The two Space Marines held each other's arms and nodded to each other like brothers. Vito put down the telescope in his hand, and the flash of the light spear was reflected on his dark eyes.

"As I expected, this planet is on the edge of the Great Rift, and there is not enough subspace power to sustain the large-scale appearance of demons. We are lucky. When Ragnar and his men break into the fortress, we can start on the southern front, so I think you can go back."

Vito stopped talking before he finished. He turned and looked at the two wild wolves coming behind him and frowned, "I think you can wait a moment, Olaf, Ragnar, why are you back? Has the mission been completed?"

"We have completed the mission. We broke into the city wall, but there was only a death trap waiting there!" Ragnar stepped forward angrily, grabbed a bloody battle axe and strode up. He was breathing heavily, with anger that had nowhere to vent.

"Olaf, what happened?"

The old wolf, whose armor was covered with bullet scratches, sunken bullet holes and burn marks, came up. His hair was full of blood, but it didn't look like his, but someone else's.

"There is a trap inside the city wall. Chaos traitors are waiting there. We were ambushed as soon as we entered. They knew we would break in from there and ambushed us there." Old Wolf came to Bell's side, but he was not talking to the Ultramarines anymore, but to Vito.

The latter stood on the edge of the hillside and frowned. He knew what that meant, but it was Bell who shouted for everyone. He was shocked and looked at Vito on the side in disbelief. "Your plan was discovered? But... this has never happened."

Yes, Vito never failed. His plans were always unexpected, especially to his enemies. Since Bell knew him, his plans have never been revealed, but today, this myth is shattered. .

"Many of my brothers died inside! And the whole father of the Kriegs! What happened?!" Ragnar's reaction was obviously more excited than Bell thought. The wild wolf strode closer and was Bell and Loken stopped him together. Now Ragnar is not clear-headed at all because of the loss of his brother.

"Let me go Bell! I said, let go!"

The angry wolf howled, his glory was damaged, and more importantly, he failed in his mission as the wolf lord. This made Ragnar furious. He was eager to wash away his shame and save his brother. They pay with blood.

"Calm down, Ragnar, you are the only brother here, we are not your enemies!" Bell yelled, stopping Ragnar as he blocked the wolf from approaching Vito.

But Vito pondered for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at the old wolf who was obviously now more rational and able to distinguish the current situation, "Who is their commander? Have you seen him?"

"Yes, I saw it. It was an Astartes. No, he wasn't. He was taller, wearing a cobalt blue power armor with snake scales on it and a hydra. "

Vito frowned suddenly. He immediately turned his back to everyone and walked to the edge of the hillside. He was silent there for a long time, until Ragnar shook off Bell and Loken's hands and strode forward. Break this brief moment of silence.

"Vito! Who is that person? Who do I want to seek revenge from?"

"The person you are looking for is Alpharius."

As soon as Vito's words came out, the three people except Ragnar were immediately shocked. Bell and Loken looked at each other, and even Olaf swept away his usual calmness and showed an expression of disbelief.

Ragnar seemed a little confused, "Alfaris? Who is that?" "Your Majesty the Emperor! Ragna, how did you learn the chapter? That is the Primarch of the Alpha Legion who rebelled!" A renegade Primarch in the fortress?"

Bell woke up from the surprise and roared loudly. His voice was so loud that it even made the mortals around him a little afraid, as if he was angry, but that was not anger, but Bell's unconscious reaction in shock. .

"Alfaris? Are you sure?" The old wolf regained his composure as quickly as possible. He raised his hand and his gray eyebrows were slightly raised, forming a bulge on the eyebrow arch. There was a reason for him to ask.

Alpharius, he is like a ghost. The empire has so many records of killing him over the past ten thousand years that it can fill a whole shelf. There are countless people who claim to be Alpharius. Space Marines, Inquisition and Assassin's Tribunal will always be here. As soon as the news spread, elite forces were sent to kill him and eliminate this threat. However, the King of Hydra will be reborn soon, and his name will appear again in another place.

Just like the legendary Hydra, if one head is cut off, three will grow. From this, he got the title of awe and fear, the immortal Hydra, Alpharius.

Therefore, when faced with the possibility of Alpharius, in addition to instinctive surprise, he was more doubtful. After holding his chin in thought for a moment, Bell seemed to have found a way.

"Captain Loken, do you know what Alpharius looks like? Maybe you can judge his true identity through the old wolf's description." Bell asked the company commander, but he shook his head disappointingly. .

"I have never really met Alpharius. The only time was on Ullanor. At that time, I was just an ordinary captain. I glanced at him from a distance in the army undergoing review. There were many Primarchs that day. All are there.”

But Loken quickly told Bell and others where to find the answer. No one knew who the real Alpharius was or what he looked like. Olaf didn't know either. Although he saw his face, he didn't know who it was. It's not the real Primarch. Only two people in the galaxy know it, and one of them is on Terra.

The other one is right here.

He habitually put his hands behind his back and stared sharply at the central tower of the fortress in the distance of the battlefield. Bell and Olaf looked at each other, but before they spoke, Vito broke the silence.

"No, I don't need to verify his appearance. That is Alpharius. Only he can see my tactics. He is in the fortress."

Vito has lived so far, and his plan has only been seen through by three people, Horus and Alpharius. It doesn't sound like anything special, right? But you have to know that the third person among them is generally called the Emperor.

Alpharius is a cunning snake. He is mysterious and deceitful. As early as the Great Crusade, he was famous for his silent but sharp eyes. He can see through the true thoughts of anyone's heart, hide from the crowd, and penetrate them. Secrets, get to know the truth.

And when the King of Hydra leaves his shadow, there must be a purpose for appearing. It must mean something if he lets the old wolf see him.

Just when Vito was thinking about the true meaning of the mysterious Hydra King, Old Wolf directly told him the standard answer, the answer directly told to him by the person who asked the question.

"He asked me to bring him a quote, and to quote him it was 'Tell Vito I'm waiting for him.'"

After hearing this, Vito frowned and fell into deep thought again. Bell also hesitated for a moment, "Vito, do you know what this means?" "Who cares! Vito! Let me chop him, I will chop him." Cut off his head to pay homage to your dead brother!"

Ragnar raised his battle axe and pointed it at the fortress, roaring. The sound made Vito look up, but he just stared at Ragnar and immediately looked to the side, "Lily! Can you open a portal to the subspace?"

The four of them were stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of Vito's eyes. At the edge of the hillside, a silver-haired woman sitting on a rock was playing with a knife in her hand. She turned the folding knife with her wrist, and suddenly her palm grasped the handle of the knife and smiled at Vito, then nodded slightly.

"Vito, what are you thinking of?" Olaf asked Vito worriedly, but when he saw the smile on his face every time he came up with a suicidal idea, he knew it was definitely not a good idea.

"Ah, I don't like that idea." Ragnar, who was still howling and excited just now, looked at the smile and immediately lost power, and said so with a sad face.

"Yes, but aren't you in a hurry to kill him?"

Vito threw the telescope to a Krieg staff officer in the distance, then slowly drew out the Phoenix Sword from his waist, and ignited the burning blade with a fierce grip.

"Just the four of you, follow me to hell."
