Chapter 128 Verdict
"Do you know your sin?"
This was the first sentence Calvin said to Erlanti when they were really face to face.
The other party responded to him with silence.
Since death was inevitable, Erlanti, who had already recognized the reality, refused any interrogation.
As he thought, in his and their philosophy: no one except the Emperor was qualified to judge them.
"Do you know your sin!" Calvin raised Erlanti and dragged him to the porthole of the bridge like a rag while questioning loudly.
From here, it can be clearly seen that the pollution cloud with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers formed by the flames that were exploding on the buildings that suffered the first round of attacks on the surface.
Black dust and unburned toxic gases were flying wantonly in it.
Just from its scale, it can be seen how many innocent souls died in this attack.
"Look at you and your masterpieces. These are all the wealth of the Emperor, but you are trying to use them to exchange for your own authority."
Throwing Erlanti under the huge bulletproof glass of the porthole, Calvin standing behind him said so.
Erlanti stared blankly at the smoke and clouds in the distance, repeatedly asking himself in fear whether his behavior was just.
Then, obsessed with self-hypnosis and self-touching, he found the last anchor point in his paranoia and thoughts:
"There has never been a victory without bloodshed, and there has never been a success without sacrifice. I do this for..."
Erlanti, who had not finished speaking, was suddenly kicked out by the furious Calvin, and the blood flowing out of his mouth like a waterfall blocked his voice.
But Calvin did not, his voice carried the questioning from his soul to Erlanti:
"Bloodshed and sacrificed? Then why is it not your blood that is shed, and why is it not your life that is sacrificed? I have never seen someone who can whitewash the desire for power so sincerely! Look straight into my eyes! Do you really dare to say that you do this for the empire? For the emperor?"
"I..." He stammered at the corner of his mouth, and under Calvin's soul-piercing torture, he finally woke up from the long self-touching.
Facing the wreckage on the surface, he really couldn't convince himself that he and his colleagues had planned this purely for the Empire and humanity.
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal."
Such a motto suddenly flashed through his mind. He looked up and saw Calvin taking the sword handed over by the Grey Knight behind him and raising it high towards him.
"In the name of the Emperor, accept your judgment, sinner!"
As a sword flashed across, Erlanti's flying head fell into eternal darkness.
This sinner who had gone astray for too long in the desire for power finally paid the price for his behavior here.
With the end of this battle on the bridge, the command of the Heart of Honor has been completely taken over by the Grey Knights.
The battle in the engine room direction was also going smoothly.
Tariq and his team also completed the established combat objectives in a short time and drove the malicious warriors out of the periphery of the engine room.
The battle in the direction of the weapon array encountered a little accident.
After clearing the remaining enemies in the weapon array, the Golden team unexpectedly encountered the enemy at the end of the passage leading to the bow.
The enemy they encountered was Augustine, who had just managed to put together a set of power armor from two malicious warriors.
A frontal battle is different from a prepared assault. The moment he met the Grey Knights, Augustine was suppressed by the hail of bullets and fled in a panic.
The unscrupulous fire suppression and the unreasonable assault of the Terminator left Augustine no chance to speak.
It was not until he desperately retreated more than a hundred meters that the two sides had a chance to think about each other's abnormality.
"Hmm? Elite malicious warriors? The information says that the World Eaters' sub-groups also have this combat style?"
Golden subconsciously felt that the opponent was unusual, this flexible posture and efficient use of cover and visual blind spots.
Compared with the combat style of the malicious warriors they had seen before, it can't be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be polar opposite.
On the other side, Augustine was also panting heavily behind a thick load-bearing wall.
"Puh, puh, puh! What the hell!"
Augustine, whose helmet was blown off, spit out the dust he had inhaled.
This short but fierce confrontation made him lose his previous confidence and optimism.
The uninterrupted fire suppression and the close combat position without dead angles brought by the high tacit understanding of this group of gray knights completely made him lose the chic and comfortable feeling of breaking into the enemy group alone in the past.
The attempts to continuously change positions to pull the position loopholes were curbed at the first time.
Even if he had not reacted quickly and noticed the trap behind the other party to indulge him in getting close, he would have almost blocked his way of retreat.
He felt that he was not facing an ordinary malicious warrior. Even if he had seen the veterans of the first company of the Balm Regiment, he had never given him such a feeling of powerlessness that he had no chance to reach out.
And it was not until this time that he suddenly remembered the abnormality of the other party's armor coating.
This is not a malicious warrior!
Then the other party's previous cleaning of the weapon array shows that this is another group of Astartes.
And their position is on the friendly side!
"It's really stupid!"
He slapped himself lightly and shouted loudly.
"I surrender!"
Under the gaze of the Grey Knights, Augustine's figure peeked out from behind the bunker...
The most intense part of the battle on the Heart of Honor finally ended.
The Grey Knights completed their combat objectives. Under the principle of expulsion as the main and killing as the auxiliary, they completely occupied and controlled all the key parts of the Heart of Honor.
The remaining malicious warriors finally got a precious respite at this time, quietly licking their wounds in a corner of the black ship.
Calvin's communication advantage with other teams is reflected here, which is much higher than the normal communication efficiency. After he confirmed the effectiveness of the occupation at the first time, he publicly issued a declaration of victory to the entire ship through the broadcast of the black ship.
After announcing the death of Yutas and the Inquisitor, he ordered the surviving malicious warriors to immediately lay down their weapons and accept control in the name of the Holy Hammer Order.
At the same time, all the personnel on the Soul Redeemer finally breathed a sigh of relief under the feedback of Calvin and others. The weapon array that had originally entered the firing state also disengaged the crosshairs of the aiming equipment from the locked state.
The Star Navy in the galaxy began to send rescue troops to the ground under the command of Captain Yule.
Calvin and others on the Heart of Honor, guided by the information of the Soul Redeemer, took Augustine, who claimed to be the champion of the Goliath regiment, to the prisoner's cell and rescued their captain Christen.
The noisy and lively day finally returned to peace after a short and fierce battle.
The chaos on Fedman 4 finally returned to the order of the empire.
