Chapter 83 Who threw the bug?

In the square of the Castle of Angels, Dante, the old leader of the Blood Angels Chapter, was staring through the wind and sand at the walls and towers in the distance that had been cleared by the Chapter's slaves.

"Before this, I never thought that these walls and towers would see the light of day again."

There was a complex emotion in the old voice of the Chapter Master. Next to him was the chief think tank Mephiston with a resolute face, a man with a noble soul who had overcome the Black Rage with his tenacious will. Legendary warrior.

"Since the Holy Code split up the Legion, Angel Castle has become a deliberately forgotten symbol, and its reappearance now also means that the Chapter will regain its former glory."

"I could tell she was proud of us."

After an unknown amount of time, Dante once again shifted the topic to the Hive Fleet, even though the two people had discussed this topic for a long time earlier.

To this day, every time I think about the brutality of the Battle of Hades, even this legendary Astartes, who has lived for thousands of years, can't help but feel sad for the tragic sacrifices made by the Empire.

"The way this hive fleet is moving is very strange. They do not wipe out all the planets along the way like they did in the past. Moreover, this hive fleet almost ignores the blocking fleets we sent out. They We are heading towards Bar at full speed regardless of casualties, and we will enter Bar in a few days at the earliest.”

Dante's tone paused for a moment.

"I want to know, what is here? What is it that attracts those alien creatures?"

However, Mephiston's answer to this question was very calm.

"No matter what, we must win, otherwise the bloodline of Sanguinius will die completely. We cannot allow this to happen no matter what."

Just a moment later, a slave of the battle group came to the side of the two giants who were talking. After bowing respectfully, the mortal brought Dante some news that surprised him.

"My Lord, there is news from Prem's satellite defense platform that the alien warship previously observed by the Blood Alliance has now appeared in the Bal's galaxy. The naval warships gathered in orbit are now trying to launch an attack on it. Interception."

Upon hearing such news, the two giants couldn't help but look at each other.

What the mortal servant was referring to was the alien camouflage ship that plunged into the frontline fleet cluster earlier. According to the report from the Blood Alliance, the strange spaceship initially appeared in the shape of an imperial warship without warning. The center of the fleet.

When asked about his identity, he changed the shape of the deck and bridge with extremely fast efficiency, and then fled the scene at an astonishing speed. In the following two days, various strike fleets located at the edge of the Baal System and The defense platforms all have sighting reports of this alien spacecraft.

It is said that it often appears for a short time above some worlds invaded by insect swarms, and always escapes from the scene before the pursuit fleet arrives. Until now, the local defense forces have never been able to figure it out. What on earth is this guy going to do.

What is even more strange is that they have not detected any traces of subspace fluctuations near the place where the warship sailed out. This is almost impossible for ships that need to rely on subspace navigation.

At first, because he was busy dealing with the insect swarm crisis and the need to integrate the command structures of the various sub-regiments, Dante did not pay much attention to this matter, but now that thing is so bold and appears in Baal in a majestic manner.

Then, under Mephiston's order, the mortal servant quickly left the two men's side. Not long after, looking at the silent expression of the Chapter Leader, Mephiston expressed his guess.

"Do you think it will be those Necrons, such as the Necron Overlord named Anlaiqi? Maybe its Necron Dynasty is planning something."

An alien warship that can change its shape and move quickly.

Dante did not respond to Mephiston's suggestion in time, but instead turned his attention to the long corridor with carved beams and beams in the distance.

His intuition told him that maybe the big archive would contain the answers he wanted to find?

"How about you come with me while you still have time?"

The Holy Blood Archives in the Castle of Angels Monastery is a true hall of honor and one of the most sacred places in the entire Chapter.

Over the past thousands of years, tens of thousands of servitors and mortal servants within the Chapter have been transcribing and organizing the files day and night. The records include everything from Sanguinius to the present day. Every battle, big and small, that the descendants have experienced, every honor they have won, and a large number of precious historical documents.

Some of them are said to be records left by Sanguinius himself. No one knows how many secrets are hidden in this vast library.

Since most of those precious historical documents have long since become sacred objects of the legion, they are not directly available for people to read, but are copied on-site by servitors as needed.

At first, Dante didn't have much hope for this, but after comparing the characteristics of the alien warship he had now with the records of the battle group's past encounters with aliens, the search unexpectedly did not take too long. .

About ten minutes later, a document with relevant contents excerpted based on the key description was copied. The length of the parchment roll alone was a full six meters, and Dante almost only used one glance at it. Mephiston and Mephiston noticed a familiar name at the same time.

【Book of Sanguinius】

A tome written by Sanguinius himself that contains the prophecies of dreams and the philosophy of the Legion.

From scattered fragments that were transcribed, Dante learned several key words.

【Grey Wind】

【Ascended One】

as well as

【Ashes Alliance】

And the most important thing is that at the end of the paragraph, the Archangel himself recorded a transaction with the [Grey Wind] alien in the form of prophecy.

As for the specific content of this transaction, it is.

Just as Dante and Think Tank Chief Mephiston looked serious, they were preparing to continue searching for follow-up related content.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the Chapter Monastery.

Through the communicator built into the power armor, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels received a piece of news that surprised him.

"It's the Tyranids!"

"Those bugs emerged from the ground of Angel Castle Square!"

"They launched a raid on the monastery!"
