Chapter 398 1.12 Good News, The Word Bearer

The dazzling white light arced on the armor. Feinus pressed his hand on the command platform and moved his eyes to Hades.

Hades lowered his head slightly, listening to the sounds in the eavesdropping channel.

It is very common, and the words used to greet each other when the two armies meet are also very official.

The Word Bearer's voice echoed politely on the channel, and the Lord of Medusa responded with a stiff hum from time to time.

He stared at Hades, waiting for Hades's judgment.

...No... Hades thought that although the Silent Order's time was slightly chaotic when they were sailing alone in the subspace, their time was normal when they were sailing together with the Iron Hands.

According to the map, no matter how fast the Word Bearers were, they couldn't appear here now.

Hades blinked, looked at Feinus, and spoke a few words silently with his mouth open.

The Lord of Medusa nodded and spoke during the moment of silence among the Word Bearers,

【I hope to meet Luo Jia. 】

The reply from the other side was quick. The decision-making power was not within their team, but they had already informed the original body.

Fenus paused, his tone softened slightly,

[I remember that the Fourth Army was stationed here. Are they here too, or have they gone to other territories? 】

"Sir, the Word Bearers and the Fourth Legion are stationed together in this star field. If you go deeper into three zones, you can see the legion of the Iron Warriors."

Hades and Finus looked at each other, and Finus continued to speak,

[Are there already two legions stationed here? Then the Iron Hands will no longer continue their expedition. 】

The other person's answer was still a polite blessing, wishing the Great Crusade a victory.

Faenus hung up the communication, turned around, and stared at Hades, who was still deep in thought.

[What can you see? 】

Hades shook his head slightly,

"The Word Bearers shouldn't be here. There are three possibilities. They are really fine. They just didn't receive the notification from Terra like the Iron Hands. There is already a problem with the Word Bearers, but the wounds have not spread yet. What we encountered This team is just a group of survivors; the Word Bearers have questions, and this spy answers us that way."

Hades's eyes flashed. The ships of the Silent Order had been completely dispersed and hidden among the Iron Hands' fleet. Unless the subspace eyes were opened, the team on the opposite side would not know that Hades was here.

While Hades was thinking, the communication request from the Word Bearers sounded again, the communication light flashed eagerly, and Fainus opened the channel without hesitation.

"Lord of the Iron Hands of the Tenth Legion,"

The Word Bearer opposite was a different person, his tone was slightly anxious,

"Although there are already two legions stationed in the Cygnus star field, with my life as a guarantee, I, Thor Tagron, I implore you to speak to our original body."

Hades raised his eyebrows without any trace, it seemed that they encountered a special situation.

Faenus followed the Word Bearer's words and continued,

【Why. 】

Fainus asked calmly, and there was a lot of noise on the channel. It looked like the Word Bearers were quarreling.

Feinus gave them a moment to react, and then his strong voice sounded,

[Answer my question head-on, Thor Tagron, your language just now is already disrespectful, but if you choose not to answer me and continue to contradict the original body——]

Fainus' voice became quieter, and he waited for the other side.

Thor's slightly panting voice sounded anxiously again. It seemed that he had just defeated several brothers who opposed him. He spoke quickly,

"I'm extremely sorry, sir, but I can't tell you what happened. Our father has been in a bad state recently. After meeting with the original master of the Fourth Legion, he became——"

"I'm sorry, my lord."

A voice changed on the opposite channel,

"Saul Taglon was recently dismissed from his position as captain of the 34th company by his father, and was assigned to serve in our team. The gap in positions made him abnormal."

Faenus and Hades looked at each other, and Hades made a few gestures.

Faenus was silent, and there was only the slight crackle of the arc in the original body's channel. Hades imagined the pressure exerted on the other side because of the original body's silence,

[Confronting a Primarch, what do the Word Bearers plan to do with him? 】

Fenus' voice sounded slightly impatient and sullen,

[Don't tell me that you are going to excuse this by waiting for orders from your superiors. 】

Hades turned his head, and while Fernus was talking to the other side, he looked for his hand at the Iron Hand Santo who was standing guard at the door of the command room.

"Come here, come here quickly."

Hades whispered,

Santo glanced doubtfully at his father, and Faenus gave him a determined look, so Santo stepped forward.

The distance he closed allowed him to hear the hesitant explanations on the opposite channel.

[You are offensive enough. 】

Fernus said,

[I don’t care about anything else, but military discipline is strict and mistakes need to be punished. Let him have a duel with my soldier Santo. If he wins, then this matter will never be mentioned again. 】

Hades bent down, patted Santo on the shoulder, and dialed in the channel of Fenus and the Word Bearers for Santo. Santo opened his eyes wide, and he could hear that the two generals had other plans, but they had to What is he doing——

He saw Hades's mouth moving, asking him to get on the boat.

Feinus's voice stopped in time, Santo swallowed, and he spoke with anger in his voice,

"I, Gabriel Santo, Captain of the Iron Hands, under the witness of the Iron Fist, challenge the Word Bearer Thor Tagron for a duel."

————————

The Word Bearers who were escorting Thor to the Iron Hands mothership were overturned when their communications were cut off at the first opportunity.

Thor turned around in shock and watched as the battle brothers who escorted him were disarmed by the Iron Hands emerging from the shadows. Although he could not figure out what was happening, Thor drew his warhammer and prepared to fight with the Word Bearers.

Then he was held down by Santo, face down, in close contact with the metal floor of the Iron Fist.

A huge shadow was cast in front of him, and Thor felt that his limbs began to become weak. He swallowed and thought quickly about what to do now.

A deep voice sounded, but its tone was relaxed,

"Don't be nervous, Thor of the Word Bearers. I wish to ask you a few questions."

No... not Feinus's voice, nor Santo's.

Santo, who was holding him down, silently hit Sol in the back with the butt of his gun.

"Answer this gentleman's question seriously, Thor. I think you don't want any bigger misunderstandings to arise in the future."

The strange voice sounded again,

"Don't be so nervous. In fact, I admire your courage very much, Thor."

Thor's mind was almost a mess now. He was sure that he had been involved in a larger whirlpool, but he didn't know what it was...unless...Thor thought of his words before, and his heart There was a thud.

"What happened to Luojia?"

the voice asked softly.

Thor felt as if his blood had solidified, and he gasped,

"What happened? Did the other adults realize what happened, my lord?"

Thor said loudly, and he was answered by another heavy blow from Santo. To escape the question, Thor felt the ceramic fragments of the power armor embedded in his back.

"Yeah, someone realizes that, and that's what I'm here for."

The voice said calmly,

"Now, answer my question, Thor, what happened to Luojia?"

Thor clenched his teeth. He smelled blood in his mouth, and he yelled,

"Something has changed! My lord, I mean - something has changed with Lord Luojia. He has begun to compile new teachings, not... not about Lord God Emperor."

Footsteps sounded, and Thor could think of the adult pacing slowly behind him.

"Where are the Custodes? Where have they gone? I remember that Gatekeeper Vidana was not a man who neglected his duties."

Thor felt his blood run cold, and there was a buzz in his head. Now he was absolutely sure that the person on the other side was here to deal with the Word Bearers. The Word Bearers were absolutely sure that the God-Emperor had never proactively revealed to other legions that the Word Bearers had been killed. There is news that the Forbidden Army is stationed, and even those who have seen the Forbidden Army will not be so clear about the names of these Forbidden Army.

Not to mention that the opposite party directly named Vidana, the leader of the Forbidden Army.

But...but...Saul struggled to think that before he was exiled, he had already heard the news that his good brother Angeltai was suddenly demoted, and he secretly went to find it for this purpose. Angelta told him some disturbing news.

Thor did not wait for the bad luck to happen, because he was later thrown out of the main fleet for going to find Angeltay privately.

But is this kind of news... really suitable to tell the people who come to solve the problem? This will definitely lead to punishment, Thor said hesitantly,

"I'm not entirely sure, but the Custodes are not popular among the Word Bearers."

The footsteps stopped,

"Then Vidana and the others should have been sacrificed."

That voice whispered an incredible decision,

"Do you agree with me, Thor?"

Sol was silent, he felt cold sweat streaking across his forehead,

With a sigh, the voice became stronger,

"This means that the first layer of protection we placed around Luojia has failed,"

The stranger said calmly,

"This is not surveillance, this is protection, Saul, and this is exactly what we are worried about."

Sol's teeth were chattering, and he spoke tremblingly,

"My lord, please allow me to boldly ask - you, who are you?"

The voice paused for a moment, as if judging whether Thor deserved to know his name,

"Hades,"

Hades said,

"Perhaps you are more familiar with my other title, the Silent One."

Hades looked at the Word Bearer's body, which seemed to have lost all strength and collapsed on the ground. He nodded slightly. Santo let go of Thor. The Iron Hand pointed the explosive gun at Thor's head and stood up slowly. ,

But Sol did not stand up. He was still stuck to the ground like a dead fish. After a long time, Sol's weak voice sounded,

"Sir... please save us. Something is definitely wrong. Father... father is not normal."

From the corner of his eye, Thor saw the silent man's expressionless face, darkness shrouding him,

"So you don't know much."

Hades said in disappointment that he probably shouldn't expect someone who was exiled to a fringe team to know anything, and now Hades knew that clearly, they encountered several minions far away from the center.

Hades thought as he informed Feinus to fool the team on the opposite side with a few words, and then used the excuse of visiting Luojia to continue deeper.

Now it can be confirmed that there are at least two legions. Hades was thinking in his mind that the Word Bearers may not have fallen deeply, but this may also be an illusion... And Perturabo... Hades frowned and thought , why Perturabo?

Two legions, which means that the next battle may be difficult, but now is not the time to retreat or garrison. Hades frowned, and they had been discovered on the opposite side.

Even if the Iron Hands choose to retreat now and wait for reinforcements - as long as the Eye of Terror is opened before reinforcements arrive, the rest will still be failure and death.

In other words, the decisive point this time is to keep the Eye of Terror from being opened and hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Thor's voice interrupted Hades's thinking,

"Sir, I have a map of this star field. It shows the map of the star field where the Iron Warriors and the Word Bearers are stationed."

Thor gritted his teeth, his teeth touching,

"There is definitely something wrong with the Iron Warriors. I paid special attention to collect their maps."

Hades raised his eyebrows,

"Did you do it alone?"

Thor took a deep breath,

"There are others, other exiles."

He smiled bitterly.

"We want to keep the situation informed."

In silence, a hand reached out and pulled him up. Thor heard the scream of his power armor.

Hades patted Thor's shoulder armor. Thor turned his head and saw the bottomless darkness.

"well done,"

Hades said,

"You have earned my share of respect for the Word Bearers."

————————

It turns out that even Faenus knows the art of using language.

Hades thought as he was sitting in the command room, calculating Thor's map again and again. The unfortunate news was that Thor told him that the Iron Warriors seemed to pay special attention to planets with alien structures.

In the worst case scenario, Hades thought that he would connect the planets where the Iron Warriors were stationed. Even Hades, who knew nothing about psychic powers, could see that the locations of these planets had some commonality.

On the other side, Faenus is always paying attention to the situation around the fleet. The Iron Warriors are going deep into this star field under the leadership of the Word Bearers exploration team that Fainus persuaded to succeed.

Hades was confused as to how Faenus managed to convince the Word Bearers, but nevertheless, Faenus did it.

Maybe he shouldn't underestimate Faenus, who often communicates with Fulgrim.

【Do you want to continue further? 】

Fainus's voice rang out amid the ticking of instruments,

[We are about to enter the territory of the Iron Warriors. It is estimated that in three minutes, we will receive a communication request from the Iron Warriors - or artillery fire. 】

Hades was sitting calmly at the command table, but Feinus heard the slightly irritable sound of Hades clicking his fingers.

"The thread that opens the Eye of Terror is closing."

Hades said,

"This line is extremely long, and it is behind the Iron Warriors' defense line. Currently, there are only a few planets and anchor points—the most critical point—that have not been occupied."

Hades paused;

"Considering that Sol's map is lagging and one-sided, we don't have much time left now."

Fainus frowned,

[Are you saying that the Iron Hands need to penetrate deep into the territory of the Iron Warriors and prevent the closing of this line? Then we can attack at the weak points. 】

Hades stopped, and Fainus could feel Hades' eyes staring at him intensely.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Hades said softly, he seemed a little unsure,

"I don't know how the other side treats the Black Stone Obelisk. If they choose to destroy it directly, it will mean that we can only go to the centermost anchor point to guard the last obelisk."

"but……"

Hades said hesitantly,

"If they choose to reverse the polarity... according to common sense, we should be able to interrupt the expansion of the Eye of Terror by occupying a section of the front."

[So what are you hesitating about, Hades? 】

Faenus asked,

Hades took a deep breath,

"I don't know much about psychic powers, so I asked my great sage Kirkland to take a look. His reply was that the battle lines are about to close. Unless we can occupy at least one-fifth of the defense lines in a short time, otherwise only The loss of a small part will not prevent the eventual outbreak of the Eye of Terror."

The problem is, Hades doesn't know whether Kirkland is right or not.

As for where Kirkland learned his psychic powers... The Great Sage was originally a psychic researcher on Mars... What's more, Hades only recently learned that Kirkland had been following Mortarion after he left the Death Guard. .

In other words, Kirkland used numerology to calculate this for Hades.

First of all, Hades could not completely believe Mortarion's numerology, and secondly, except for Mortarion, the numerology of others was even less trustworthy.

But Hades had no choice. He also asked Iron Hand's think tank, and the other party's answer was that there was nothing he could do.

【In other words,】

Fenus said calmly,

[Now we need a sharp blade to pierce their anchor point to ensure that the largest source is not open, is that right? 】

"yes."

Hades said, he looked at Faenus and nodded,

【Then fight. 】

Fernus said,

[Hades, I know what you are hesitating about. If things go as you say, we are about to face two legions - but you should believe that the Iron Hands will not be weak. 】

The Iron Hands are the most Social Darwinist Legion.

"And the demon army."

Hades added,

Fenus paused,

[Can the Silent Order deal with them? 】

Hades blinked, and finally he picked a word,

"Can."

Hades said that he saw Feinus purse a cold smile, and anger seemed to begin to burn in his iron-gray eyes.

[If they really betrayed and abandoned the empire under the temptation of their own desires, then I will let them see the wrath of steel. Although I don’t have much communication with Russ, steel is far colder than winter. . 】

Hades lowered his eyes, shadows covered his eyes, and he smiled helplessly,

"Get ready...an empire is coming that's about to burn."

The real fratricide is about to begin, and it will last until death.

The audience sitting in the auditorium applauded.

5.1k, nothing, great
