The Emperor’s Angel of Death

　　Owning a ship and using a ship are not a concept at all.

　　 After deciding to respond to the request of the judge and go to Valledo to assist in suppressing the chaotic rebellion that may exist, Soshyang's first thing to do is how to activate the Unbound Soul.

　　 Pluto-class cruisers in the era of the Great Expedition, from M32 to M33, have been widely used in many fleets in the Hazy Star Field and the Extreme Star Field, and have also been deployed in large numbers by the Astarte Legion.

　　 Over time, they were gradually replaced by new cruisers built on Mars, but there are still a small amount of reserve ships in the Hazy Star Region, and a considerable number of them are in service in the rebellious Chaos Legion.

　　As a large cruiser, the Hades-class is equipped with a large-scale long-range weapon array and a reliable armor structure. Compared with the Styx-class of the same model, she is more inclined to strengthen direct firepower, so there is no carrier-based launch platform.

　　 Although in principle it is the same heavy cruiser as the Gothic class commonly used in the empire, as one of the battleships in the regiment period, its tonnage and firepower configuration are much stronger than the existing heavy cruisers.

　　 Correspondingly, it requires much more manpower than Soshyang’s previous flagship Spark.

In order to allow the Unbound Soul to operate normally, he had to transfer all the crew of the Starfire that was still under repair to the Unbound Soul, and then extracted a part of the manpower from the Nathan 4, which cost about The basic preparation work was finally completed in a week.

The main weapon of 　　Unbound Soul is the two long-distance light spear arrays on the bow of the ship, two ion cannon arrays on both sides, and two large light spear turrets on the back, surrounded by several small laser venting arrays.

　　 Generally speaking, the Unbound Soul is a battleship with very powerful frontal firepower. One round of light spear salvos is enough to erase most small ships, even facing battleships.

　　 However, the two large light spear turrets on the back are too long-term in design. Many systems can no longer be used. They can only use less than half of the power for output. This is the only shortcoming and can only be remedied in the future.

　　 On the other hand, it is a pity that there is no torpedo launching capsule. Originally, Soshyang planned to install it in the free space on the side, but time is pressing and the reconstruction plan can only be postponed.

After completing the preparatory work, Soshyan led Sol and Saivita, together with Falzad and Ustad, and a total of 19 Astartes from priests and technical sergeants. Valledo suppressed the rebellion.

　　 However, Savita told Soshyan before departure that he would not participate in ground battles, only to protect the ship.

　　 Knowing that he couldn't move the other party, Soshyan didn't say anything, but to be on the safe side, after arriving at the destination, he could only deploy Sol on the ship-he still couldn't completely trust Saivita.

　　 On the other hand, due to the special situation of the Unbound Soul, the navigator and the Star Whisperer are all served by one person, that is, Anita in the life-saving capsule.

　　 Working together with her, there is also the demon host that is "temporarily" controlled-its role is to cover Anita's breath.

　　 Relying on her powerful and pure psychic talent, the Unbound Soul can quickly traverse the waves of the subspace, like a sharp arrow from the string, piercing the corrupted planet.

　　 Only three days later, they arrived at their destination.

　　 But the expected imperial fleet did not appear in the low orbit of Valledo.

　　 On the contrary, the orbit of this planet is unusually calm. A large number of destroyed transport ship wrecks surround the orbit of the planet, like countless metal tombstones, and the original bustling airport of Valledo has become fragmented.

　　 It seems like a tragic naval battle has been experienced here.

　　 The only intact ship was an ordinary-looking ship. After scanning, Soshyan learned that it was a pilgrimage ship named "Flying Taran".

　　 Aside from the name, it actually has nothing to do with Taran, but this is not the point. The point is that only it is still intact, and it is still approaching the Unbound Soul that jumped out of the subspace in a weird manner.

　　 "Do we need to send an inquiry signal to the flying Taran, commander?"

　　The captain of the Unbound Soul, Soshyan chose Lothar who he trusted more than a mortal captain, which also made Lothar very excited.

　　 Which naval warfare expert does not like a powerful warship?

　　 "It's no longer necessary."

　　 Soshyan shook his head, and he saw the image collected by the detector magnified on the main display.

　　 "Yes, that's right."

　　 Thor stepped forward and stared at the ship with a gloomy expression.

　　 There is no doubt that its appearance has confirmed the speculation in the previous judge's report.

　　 Chaos has begun to corrode the world.

　　 Even the Taranian flying in orbit has also been corrupted, and it is extremely corrupted.

　　 From a distance, she has become a dark mass, like a predator crawling out of a grave, approaching the Unbound Soul.

　　 Although there is no obvious sign of damage, as the cruiser approaches, her nature becomes obvious.

　　 Corruption is everywhere in the hull. The hull's shape becomes unnaturally smooth, and the hull is seamlessly closed together. Under the distant light of the star, it shines like an oil film.

　　 A slow and heavy peristalsis, like a gradual bulge of the lungs, is moving down the outer layer of the ship, and finally ends with a tremor like a living organ.

　　 Then, the minaret rolled down from the hull, stirring up dust.

　　 Thor focused his attention on the superstructure.

　　 "Zoom in on the biggest statues."

　　 Soon, the image shifted, and the huge statue became clearly visible.

　　 One of them stretched out his arms ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to resist some invisible fear.

　　 Its face was distorted and its eyes widened, as if it was too excited to speak.

　　 The other hand was grabbing his eyes, as if at the moment of self-harm, his fingers were frozen stiff, and the stony fleshy skin on his cheeks hung on the huge, fixed membrane wings.

　　 "The devil is laughing at us."

　　 Soshyang spit out these words from his teeth, these subspace creations will never learn.

　　 "Let it go, but we can use this to judge what we will face."

　　 "That's right."

Lothar nodded on the side of 　　.

　　 "Those impure things left their marks."

　　 "First, there are no skulls and brass, and no traces of the plague, but look at the eyes of the statue."

　　 Thor pointed to the statue that showed his face.

　　 "There is more than fear."

　　 "There is still desire."

　　 Saivita's lazy voice was ridiculed, as if seeing the statue representing the sacred emperor being desecrated, he seemed to have some fun.

　　 "It's the Prince of Darkness, Thor, the master of your Primarch."

　　 When he said this, Thor's shoulder stiffened for a moment.

　　 "That's why we are here."

　　 When he spoke, he didn't even look at Saivita.

　　 "They won't want us to appear, or they don't know us yet, so they will declare their identity so boldly."

　　 "Maybe, you know, silly creatures are good at playing."

　　 "Then, let us use the flames of the emperor's revenge to eliminate this trash!"
