Chapter 203: Targeting Me Again?
The roar of his bolt pistol continuously detonated one Baneling after another. Each bolt round precisely set off a Baneling, taking out the surrounding ones in a chain reaction. And the plasma pistol in his other hand, as if it would never overheat, continuously killed the Queens beside Zagara.
Zagara, relying on the healing from her Queens, withstood the damage and swung her sharp forelimbs at the human before her. But her opponent was able to precisely dodge every one of her attacks and counter-attack. Even a Zerg found his combat experience and physical prowess terrifying.
"How can this human be so strong! Is his evolutionary level even higher than mine? But as long as I can hold him off, until the main swarm arrives, no matter how strong he is, he will be drowned in the endless sea of Zerg!"
Moreover, Zagara sensed a fatal threat from the man before her. He had been using the two ranged weapons in his hands to attack, but even when the Zerg got close, he had not drawn the longsword on his back. But Zagara had a feeling. There was an incredibly powerful energy on that sword. If he were to draw it and strike her, she might really die.
A powerful hunter often has an inexplicable sense for threats to its life. This made Zagara not dare to press too hard, but instead focus on stalling him.
It was not only Zagara who was surprised; this Astartes was as well. It was just a body of flesh and blood; plasma and bolts should have been able to tear it apart with ease. But the xenos behind her could quickly repair her injuries, and the slimy, moss-like creation under his feet was also simultaneously healing this giant xenos.
A peculiar psychic energy permeated the surrounding space. This energy and the power representing the Emperor were simultaneously present in these xenos.
"Zerg? No... this is not the Tyranid Swarm!"
But how could the great power of the Emperor descend upon these xenos? No matter how these xenos had obtained this power, this act was no different from blasphemy against the God-Emperor.
With his superhuman senses, he heard the roars from all directions. These xenos were trying to surround him. Unable to take her down quickly and unsure of Zagara and the Zerg's nature, the man immediately began to try and disengage from the battle.
And the roar of engines also came from the sky. The Raiders stationed on the outskirts of the city had noticed the anomaly here. Several transport ships, fully loaded with Raider tactical squads, were heading this way.
But just as they had established an outer cordon and were preparing to break in, the hooded man and his two companions had already broken free from the Zerg's pursuit and rushed out of the factory.
Seeing the Astartes, the Raiders were unsure for a moment whether to attack or not. After all, for the Zerg, the Dynasty knew they belonged to their Rogue Trader. But for those who were unaware, these Zerg were just some terrifying-looking xenos.
And in that moment of hesitation, the hooded man vanished from their sight. Not a single person had gotten a clear look at his face. The Overlords' search and the creep had completely lost his trail. Only Zagara sensed some abnormal psychic fluctuations.
The appearance of this unknown Astartes was immediately reported to Damon. And based on the information he had gathered from the survivors, Damon also linked him to the so-called "Emperor's Voice." However, he had not imagined that the other party would be an Astartes, and he could not be sure whether he was a fallen or a loyalist.
The still-operating weapons factory also explained where the cultists had gotten their weapons. And to have built a factory in a fallen zone... this guy was truly audacious. How had he done it?
If Lucan had been there, he would surely have been able to link him to Cypher of the Dark Angels. And the Fallen Angels who followed Cypher could have lived for thousands of years; their combat ability was the real deal.
However, the other party had not posed any threat to the Dynasty. Damon did not report this to Lucan, but instead ordered the troops to strengthen their defenses and search for these particular Astartes.
"Carrying the Primarch's sword, with twin guns he judges the loyal and the false."
As everyone knows, the First Legion has no secrets. And the existence of Cypher was a secret among secrets. These stains from the First Legion's past, which had once fallen, could only be known after passing the trials to enter the Inner Circle. Even ordinary members of the Chapter were unaware of a part of their own Chapter's history. This showed the extent of the Dark Angels' secrecy.
Heaven knew whether Cypher was a loyalist or a true Fallen Angel. After all, some of the Fallen Angels had truly thrown themselves into the arms of Chaos, while others wanted to return to the Chapter. And some of those who wanted to return followed Cypher, who carried the Lion Sword. Cypher himself had cooperated with Chaos and Abaddon, but he had also secretly saved Imperial forces from dire situations, and even guided the Dark Angels to hunt down those Fallen Angels who had truly and completely fallen into the embrace of Chaos.
Once a report of a suspected sighting of Cypher or other Fallen Angels appeared, the nearby Dark Angels would drop whatever they were doing and immediately dispatch the Deathwing and Ravenwing of the Chapter to hunt, erase, or bring them back to the Rock, to subject them to a great deal of torture and torment, and make them repent for their sins, before finally killing them.
And at this moment, in the Cadian sector, there just happened to be a force of Dark Angels who had come to provide support: the Fourth Company of the Dark Angels.
The Dark Angels, using their own channels, had also discovered some anomalies in the Agripinaa Sector, including this "Emperor's Voice." The Dark Angels had been hunting Cypher for countless millennia, and when the company discovered the anomaly here, they immediately suspected the presence of Fallen Angels. This led the Master of the Fourth Company, Crassil, to immediately dispatch a squad of Deathwing that was traveling with them.
The tide of Chaos was coming. And through intelligence and divination from the Chapter's Librarians, the Dark Angels had learned that those Fallen Angels were also hiding among them. At this moment, this Deathwing squad had also requisitioned an Imperial Navy warship and was in the Agripinaa sector, searching for traces of Cypher and the Fallen Angels. These members of the Dark Angels, who knew the Legion's secrets well, would do anything to protect them. The number of Imperial loyalists who had died at their hands to protect the Legion's secrets was greater than one might imagine.
At this time, Lucan had already boarded the transport to the Stellar Pioneer. One after another, warships loaded with supplies and soldiers were ready. With the activation of the warships' jump engines, the fleet began to make a series of long-distance jumps toward the coordinates sent back by Damon. This series of jumps made many of the star systems along the way extremely nervous. A large number of fleet signals would suddenly appear and then instantly disappear.
But Lorysia had also attracted the attention of Chaos. Lucan and his special soldiers had long been tagged by them. When the Raiders and Night Sentinels were cleaning up the heretics on Lorysia, Nurgle, who had followers on this planet, had noticed their presence.
The Four Gods had declared that since they couldn't beat the Emperor in the warp, they would kill them in the physical world!
