Chapter 463: Extremely Blasphemous and Even Extremely Insulting Behavior

Motarion? !

When the majestic voice came out of the communication channel, all the sharks, including Jaynes, Chris and others, were shocked.

When did this Primarch and his elite fleet leave the jump space and arrive at Queconto? ?

What is even more puzzling is that no one noticed his arrival.

However, since the Sojourner-class dreadnought battleship is present, it means that "everything is possible".

Although the Sojourner-class does not have an engine that can directly open the "portal" like the Large Device·Ark, the Sojourner-class has an "original" Forerunner jump engine.

Since Dr. Catherine Halsey led the core team to deeply study the "legacy" left by the Forerunners for mankind, the Imperial Research Department has reverse-engineered a series of technological breakthroughs based on the Sojourner-class, the Large Device·Ark and other creations, injecting endless power into the development of the empire and making rapid progress.

However, in the field of FTL, even though the Empire has made great progress, there is still a significant gap from the "civilian level" of the Forerunner technology.

For this reason, when Mortarion received the news that Queconto had discovered the Chaos forces, he chose to open the jump channel with the Sojourner without hesitation and led the fleet to support at full speed.

With the extreme efficiency of the Forerunner jump engine and his position "only" about 200 light years away from Queconto, Mortarion was able to arrive at the battlefield at a critical moment without the Man-eating Shark Company noticing.

Mortarion, who is extremely tall but still looks a little "thin" after wearing the Primarch armor, stands in the center of the bridge of the Sojourner-class dreadnought.

He looks grim in front of the holographic display.

On the screen, Queconto's real-time picture is constantly refreshed.

The tide of Chaos emerges from the rifts and canyons, and countless heretics and demons devour the surface like a tide, invading the land "under his feet" with destructive corruption.

However, even so, this Primarch who had a very good relationship with Corax did not order intervention immediately after arriving at the low-Earth orbit of Queconto.

He just quietly "watched the battle", as if he was measuring what kind of response strategy the Shark would adopt in such a passive situation.

After all, Mortarion had high expectations for his brother's offspring.

But the situation of the battle in front of him made him unable to hide his disappointment.

The over-aggression of Tiberus and the Shark resulted in the loss of the best evacuation window, and also caused more than 100 Astartes casualties in the Shark Company.

For these unnecessary losses, Mortarion could not help but frown.

Obviously, brother Corax was quite stable and liked to exchange the minimum casualties for the maximum benefits. Why did a "prodigal son" like Tiberus appear?

From the moment the big demon appeared, it should be retreated immediately, and then handed over to "professionals" to deal with the big demon.

However, no matter how angry he was, he still admired Tiberus's fearless fighting style and the courage and bravery shown by the Shark Company.

Moreover, he couldn't just watch his brother's offspring, especially Tiberus' sacrifice.

Without Tiberus, the Shark Company might be "unable to recover", which would be an unbearable loss for Corax and the Raven Guard.

Moreover, the failure of the battle would also affect the "reputation" of the Raven Guard. Mortarion naturally didn't want other legions to see such a "joke".

So after he finished his reprimand on the communication channel, he turned around and walked outside the bridge, and continued to order:

"I will be fully responsible for the following matters. The Shark Fleet will remain on standby and shall not act without my instructions."

After receiving Mortarion's order, the leader of the 1st Command Platoon, who was in charge of the Shark Company, immediately responded on the communication:

"Yes, Your Excellency the Primarch."

The brief response revealed the respect and obedience of the Sharks or the Raven Guards to Mortarion.

After all, the Dawn Raiders and the Raven Guards have a good relationship, and it is no secret that the two Primarchs have a close relationship.

"Yeah."

And Mortarion just responded lightly and temporarily cut off the communication.

Immediately afterwards, Mortarion led his seven Honor Guards and walked steadily towards the "Drop Dock" of the Sojourner class.

These members of the Honor Guard, the messengers of death, all wore heavy exclusive Terminator armor, their faces covered by cold helmets, and the giant sickles in their hands flashed coldly under the reflection of the sidelights.

They followed Mortarion in silence, like a torrent of killing, and were fully prepared for the next action.

Not long after, they arrived at the airdrop dock of this Forerunner ship.

Unlike the airdrop docks equipped on traditional ships, this place is simple but advanced, with only a number of circular platforms emitting blue-green light.

And the surface of the platform is engraved with complex Forerunner characters, and strange energy fluctuations flow between the runes from time to time.

Mortarion strode towards the platform in the center, his cloak slightly raised behind him, and a kind of silent oppression was revealed in his movements.

Dong-dong——!

He stepped onto the platform first, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the empty dock room.

Seven Death Messengers followed closely behind, each standing at the designated position on the platform, and they stood straight, like motionless statues, with a cold and stern aura that made people shudder.

After a moment, the light suddenly burst out, the brightness was close to the limit, and the entire dock was instantly engulfed by the dazzling light.

Swoosh———！ ！

There seemed to be a slight humming sound in the air, and then with a sharp "whistle", the energy fluctuations instantly climbed to the peak.

At the moment when the light gradually dissipated, all the figures on the platform also disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

The airdrop dock returned to silence, and only the remaining energy ripples on the platform proved what had just happened.

At the same time, the surface of Quekangtuo:

Shua——Shua——！

With the flash of blue-green light, a dead landing area was suddenly re-lit.

Not long ago, this place was the transit point for the deployment and landing of the Man-eating Shark Company, but now it has been devastated by corruption.

And just as the light gradually spread, Mortarion and his Honor Guard, who were still in the Sojourner-class battleship in the last second, now appeared on the surface of Quekangtuo.

And their location was less than a hundred meters away from the gap tunnel leading to the underground city.

Although the Research Department is deciphering and reverse engineering the so-called "instantaneous teleportation" technology, there is almost no breakthrough progress, but as a pioneer ship, the Sojourner class has its own "airdrop" device for short-distance teleportation.

Therefore, Mortarion and his Honor Guard can complete the deployment without traditional airdrops.

However, before they can make any moves, low roars and harsh foreign languages ​​are heard in the air:

"Roar--!"

"Ruv'ka, jor te Qik!"

"(For my Lord!)

"Toom'ka varath, kol'ah hai'yai kresh! ”

(All things are corrupt, but all living things are immortal!)

Countless bodies, even heretics and demonic creatures with twisted souls, came from all directions.

When they saw the new "uninvited guests", they roared and rushed towards Mortarion and others like a raging black tide.

The twisted footsteps trampled on the corrupted land, and the waving weapons and sharp claws reflected the green light, trying to tear and devour these elites of the human empire.

But Mortarion under the helmet did not even frown.

He glanced coldly at the swarming The guy who came, without saying a word, walked straight towards the gap tunnel.

His Honor Guard followed closely behind, also ignoring the enemies who rushed to kill him.

Mortarion bent his legs slightly, and the whole person suddenly jumped down from the edge of the tunnel, and the Honor Guard did the same.

They fell straight into the tunnel in a free fall, heading straight for the underground city that had turned into a swamp and rainforest.

Bang-bang-!

As soon as they jumped out of the gap, the sound of bolt guns continued to sound in the underground space, followed by the soul-stirring metal war cry:

"Die! Disgusting bastards!"

"For the Raven Guard! For the Human Empire! "

Mortarion locked onto the battle situation in mid-air.

He saw more than a dozen Sharknado company guards struggling to hold on in a ruin.

This group of elite Astartes stood back to back in a small defensive line, relying on the cover of the ruins to resist the offensive of heretics and demons.

The ruins were filled with enemy corpses, and the sea of ​​blood was filled with the stench of decay and death, but these company guards still held on without any retreat.

Further ahead of the ruins, the burly Sharknado Captain Tiberus was sweeping the battlefield with amazing strength and speed.

Its ammunition had long been exhausted, and the chainsaw was moving. The claws became the only weapon.

Every time Tiberus swung, the sound of the chainsaw chain turning and the demon's wailing intertwined, setting off a "violent feast" of flesh and metal.

The energy shield of his exclusive terminator had been broken, and there was no time to recharge, and the surface of the armor was splashed with the enemy's rotten blood.

Even so, Tiberus's movements were still fierce, like a bloodthirsty shark rushing into a school of fish, madly slaughtering the surging corruption wave.

All signs indicate that the Man-eating Shark Company Guards suffered extremely heavy losses.

The elite guards, which were originally fully staffed with 100 people, now only have a dozen people left. Struggling to hold on.

Although the members of the Company Guard cannot match the combat power of the Honor Guard, they are undoubtedly the vanguards who can defeat the enemy with fewer troops and turn the tide of the battle within the Sharknado.

Such a miserable situation now undoubtedly proves the horror of Nurgle's power.

The culprit who forced the Sharknado into a desperate situation was the Nurgle Demon who reversed the situation in which the Sharknado Company was obviously dominant after entering the physical universe.

At this moment, the existence that symbolizes corruption and destruction, but represents "vitality", is leisurely standing next to the portal, as if it disdains the battle in front of it.

It did not take action personally, but was interested. Watching from the sidelines, countless believers and demon servants rushed to the fighting sharks like a tide, as if they wanted to gradually push the sharks into despair and let them experience what despair is.

But this does not mean that it completely ignores everything.

When Mortarion and his honor guard stepped into the quagmire filled with poisonous fog and stench, the eyes of the great demon Nurgle, which were full of rotten mycelium, suddenly flashed with a strange light.

"+Hehe——The child favored by the loving father is finally here——+"

Its low and morbid voice suddenly sounded, with an indescribable joy and malice, echoing in every corner of the battlefield.

Although it was not stated clearly, the words contained provocation, ridicule, and even "jealousy", as if Mortarion's arrival had been anticipated.

Of course, the arrival of Mortarion and his entourage also brought a glimmer of hope to the exhausted Tiberos and the remaining company guards.

Under the helmet, Mortarion's eyes were still as sharp as a blade, and he coldly swept across the surging wave of corruption, completely ignoring the words coming from the mouth of the Great Demon Nurgle.

He held the scythe given by his father tightly and walked towards the location of Nurgle.

Although the pace was slow, it exuded an endless sense of oppression, causing Nurgle believers and demonic creatures to retreat timidly.

At the same time, Mortarion also ordered the seven Honor Guards behind him:

"Cover their retreat."

"."

Under his order, the seven members of the Honor Guard responded with just a nod, then quickly passed Mortarion and rushed towards the battlefield ahead.

But in the blink of an eye, they penetrated the waves of corruption and accurately entered the core area of ​​the battle.

Their scythes swept through demons and heretics like ghosts, their sharp blades piercing the air, causing bursts of screams.

The entire wave of corruption seems to be vulnerable in front of this elite team, and anyone who hinders their progress will be torn apart in an instant.

Soon, the Deathbringers reunited with the remaining guards led by Tiberos.

Immediately afterwards, this group of taciturn "original bodyguards" began to lead Tiberos and others to break out towards the northern entrance and exit.

The turning point of the battle came so quickly, but this time Tiberos did not choose to continue to be "hard" like before.

The company commander knew very well that the enemy in front of him was also beyond the scope of what he could deal with, and staying here was tantamount to self-destruction and meaningless sacrifice.

now;

Boom, boom!

Mortarion walked towards the Great Demon of Nurgle unhurriedly, but the heretics and demons around him did not dare to step forward rashly. Instead, they allowed Mortarion's sneaking path to be unobstructed.

However, when Mortarion passed by the corpse of a man-eating shark that was beheaded by the Great Demon of Nurgle and had no time to activate the cold fusion overload program.

! ! !

Under the helmet, Mortarion actually revealed an angry face.

"Zombie, die!!"

Immediately, Mortarion let out an angry roar and headed straight towards the Great Demon Nurgle at a speed that no creature or demon present could catch the trajectory.

The reason for Mortarion's rage was that he discovered that the man-eating shark had been "dissected", and the gene seeds that had not been recovered in time had disappeared.

This means that the forces of Nurgle have kidnapped the gene-seed in advance, and for Mortarion, this is an extremely blasphemous and even extremely insulting act.

Combined with Nurgle's previous words of "a child favored by a loving father", it completely ignited Mortarion's anger.
