The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 263: Never surrender

　　 "No, this is just a residue, composed of the energy left behind when the source of corruption left. We have been fighting against the echoes of the enemy that we really have to face."

————

　　 The priest pointed at the wreckage.

　　 "Then, if this is not the source, then where should we go to find the real demon."

"this place."

　　 Soshyan turned to the wreckage of the table, and pieces of paper and broken data boards were mixed in the rubble.

　　 He saw the faint ripples of subspace on the parchment-it seems that fate is lurking somewhere here, contained in the most ordinary things.

　　 Under his command, the astral knights began to search.

　　 But it was obviously damaged here. All the voyage records, personnel records and captain's log were gone.

　　 Finally, under a relatively complete wooden board that was originally a desktop, Falzad found a data board that was still working.

　　 Soshyang checked it again and found that it was a relic list.

　　 He glanced at the names and descriptions of the relics, and didn't see any abnormalities, until he turned to the last page-there was an unnamed national religious scripture recorded on it.

　　 Its supposed source has been revised and questioned. What’s more interesting is that the red icon added to this entry in recent days indicates that it was stolen.

　　 "A relic of unknown origin has recently disappeared."

　　 Soshyang put down the data board.

　　 "This can't be a coincidence."

"I think so."

　　 At this time, the priest also found the log of the captain that was almost completely burned.

　　 Most of the records on it have been destroyed, but there is still something vaguely visible on the latest few pages. He put the book on his right arm. The small diary does not match his big hand.

　　 "It has been in the atmosphere of Valledo."

　　 Soshyang approached the priest and looked at the record.

　　 "That scripture was also listed as missing shortly after entering the atmosphere."

　　 At this point, while he felt certain, he also felt uneasy that an indescribable trap was about to be triggered.

　　 "I think we found our prey."

　　 "Where is the prey?"

　　 "It's on Valledo."

　　 "That's all there is to it."

　　 It sounds like the priest is not surprised, as if he already knew it.

　　 After all, its traces are so obvious that everything that happens in orbit is impossible to happen on the surface of the planet.

　　 Soshyang took a deep breath.

　　 "We leave here, ready to land on the ground, and see what happened... If necessary, find the inquisitor."

Soon after the Astral Knights team left the flying Taranian, a flash of light erupted from the bow of the Unbound Soul, and then a dazzling huge spear of light penetrated the hull, blasting the entire ship into shreds in an instant— —

　　916.M41, Valledo, ninth parish, 4337 infantry regiment defense zone.

　　 The road is full of cultists.

　　 They rushed to the Chimera ahead, and the song of pain echoed in the street.

　　 More enemies are chasing the retreating armored convoy, and more things are pouring up from behind the position, pouring out from the alleys, jumping out of the windows and doorways.

　　 There were more and more indescribable things, and Yarek didn't even dare to look at these things anymore, instead he aimed the heavy bomb on the roof of the car at them.

　　 He kept firing, he kept firing, and he dared not stop for a moment.

　　Vaguely, he saw unclean flesh and blood and flames on the street, but he didn't want to stare at these things because he realized that these things might bring evil corruption.

　　 But he will not be tempted, nor will he be corrupted.

　　 This armored convoy has more than a dozen Chimeras and more than 20 trucks, assembled by the retreating troops from the station.

　　 The station was still lost. He never thought that the enemy would get sentry mechas, and there were not only one, but five!

　　 They had to abandon the soldiers who could not get on the car. There were too many enemies, and their offensive was too fast and too strong.

　　 A few minutes before the situation got out of control, Yarek thought maybe he could regain control of the situation.

　　 But then, the sudden attack of the enemy from the sewer completely tore his troops apart, and he couldn't regroup her troops again.

　　 If his troops can prepare for this battle, they may be able to organize an effective counterattack, but chaos has engulfed the area.

　　 The remaining troops must now retreat, and the best he can hope for now is to save his men as much as possible-they just lost half of their defensive positions, and the other half is still under the control of the friendly army, the 4211 Infantry Regiment.

　　 A river flows from south to north, dividing their defense area into two. After occupying the station, Yarek has ordered all the bridges to be demolished.

　　 Now he and the troops next to him are heading to the last building.

　　 As long as they crossed the bridge, they could temporarily stabilize their position, and team up with the 4211 regiment to resist the enemy's attack-although doing so only delayed the time of destruction.

　　 "Political Commissar..."

　　 Suddenly, the communicator on the Chimera rang, but the voice was hard to recognize.

　　Arik forced himself not to imagine the situation on the communicator side, and his heart was almost torn apart.

　　 "Miller?"

　　 "Commissar, I'm sorry..."

　　 Chimera suddenly turned around in order to avoid a cultist with a dynamite bag strapped to it, which almost threw Yarek out of the turret hatch.

　　 The guy was knocked down by the laser gun and failed to detonate the explosives on his body in time, then Chimera crushed one of his legs on the left side.

　　 But he didn't even scream, but grabbed Chimera's guardrail and started to climb up.

　　Arik restored his balance, turned the heavy explosive, and aimed at this nasty guy.

　　 Then he pulled the trigger until the explosive bomb turned the thing into a cloud of mist.

　　 "Speed up! Use the fastest speed! Don't stop! Don't look at those things!"

　　 Although the driver's answer was not heard, the roar of the engine became louder, and Chimera rushed forward, as if even the machine soul itself wanted to reach the bridge desperately.

　　 Only then did he have time to deal with the situation on the other end of the communicator.

　　 "Miller, where are you?"

　　 Miller and his team were dispatched to destroy the power system of the station, and Yarek specially reserved a Chimera for them.

　　 "Did you blow up the power transmission equipment?"

　　 "It has been ruined, but we are trapped here."

　　 Gunshots sounded in the background.

　　 "We can't break through, we..."

　　 His voice became hoarse, and when Miller spoke again, he was not speaking as a lieutenant of the Astral Army, but a fragile mortal.

　　 Facing the horror before him, he collapsed in despair.

　　 "Commissar, I saw...what are they?"

　　 "Our enemy, Miller."

　　 "No, it's more than that!"

　　 Miller howled in pain.

Yarui frowned ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ His entire military career so far has been fighting alongside Miller for most of the time. They have saved each other's life more than once. He believes in him, believes that he is a rock, Believe that he can be unswervingly loyal to the emperor.

　　 But now, Miller howled, and Arek heard the extreme pain in his soul.

　　 The cry did not stop, it seemed to tear the communicator to pieces.

　　Arik could have turned off the communicator, but he didn't. He did his best to witness what happened to his best friend.

　　 The gunfire on Miller's side has stopped.

　　 pointed howls continued, but began to change, becoming rougher and more musical.

　　 It turned into singing, mocking laughter.

　　 Miller...No, it is no longer human, even though it is so familiar with humans.

　　Aric knew that Miller had been swallowed by evil, and also knew where the indescribable things came from.

　　 They erupt from the human body, or are transformed by humans.

　　 "No, never!"

　　 Yarek kept firing with a heavy explosive gun.

　　 Even if everyone else succumbed, he would never!
