Chapter 66 This damn straight shot
The wreckage of the spacecraft hit the star port, and the bursting flames engulfed several square kilometers of ground in the city. All the tall towers collapsed in the sea of fire. The impact of the explosion even affected the shutdown. Bang, Vaughan stood on it and felt it.
There was a violent shaking.
Steel!
The steel supports under my feet were wailing under their weight.
Once the terrace collapses, the remaining eight thousand Space Marines will be overwhelmed by the endless waves of Orks. The glory of the Eighteenth Legion will come to an end here. They will be the first to be delisted during the Great Crusade.
Legion, this is a shame that cannot be washed away.
But sometimes——
Hope comes so suddenly.
"Hey!"
Nomine's voice sounded like the sound of nature in the communication channel.
"Boss, look what that is, a whole squadron. Please tell me that all of this is really happening."
In Nomine's chattering voice.
Vaughan raised his head.
He immediately saw the blood-red wings tearing through the orange fire cloud.
The fierce artillery fire poured down like a violent storm, and the patches of green skin melted into a thick dark green slurry amidst the screams.
"Things look bad for you."
A steady voice came from the communication channel, amidst the hot air driven by the power engine.
The leader of the storm bird hovered in mid-air and changed its direction gracefully, and all the landing boards had been lowered before it fell.
One of the leading soldiers was not wearing a helmet.
The silver-white short hair stands on end.
He was wearing scarlet armor and had a handsome appearance. Even though the Storm Bird was shaking violently in the crossfire, his strong body was still as steady as if he were standing on flat ground, cool and confident.
"I am Ladoron, and I am here to meet you on the orders of the Archangel."
Radolon stretched out his hand and dragged an injured soldier into the open cabin, "Your condition doesn't look very good. I hope we're not too late."
"No, no, you came just in time."
Nomine came over and interjected, "If you come a little later, our company commander will go completely crazy."
"Nomin, shut up!"
Vaughan raised his leg and kicked Nomine, but Nomine easily dodged it.
"The remaining people, prepare to evacuate!"
Vaughn gave the order.
He found that this was unnecessary.
Before the chief company commander gave the order, the remaining soldiers had already walked towards the Thunder Eagle and Storm Bird in groups.
Vaughn was the last to leave the shutdown.
He entered the storm bird's inner chamber and reached out to grab the gravity net above his head.
With my broad shoulders leaning on the shock mount on the left side, my hanging heart finally relaxed.
Amidst the powerful roar of the engine, the Storm Bird broke away from the shackles of the planet's gravity and rose steadily towards the sky. Almost at the same time, a violent explosion occurred in the star port under its feet, and the steel structure was shut down with a crazy bang.
The orcs were pushed down completely and were submerged in the thick orange smoke.
Vaughn felt indescribable joy in his heart.
If it weren't for the group of warriors in front of them, they might have died in this star port by now.
He looked up and down at the warriors wearing scarlet armor in the Storm Birds. The leader, Radolon, was obviously a new recruit, but he had a calm confidence in him.
His muscular body stood in front of Vaughn as if taking root.
The Storm Bird vibrated violently due to the rapid changes in air pressure. Even Vaughan needed to grab the gravity net to maintain his balance, but Radolon was as calm as standing on the ground.
——Terrible fighting talent.
With just one glance, Vaughn recognized that Radolon was anything but ordinary.
"No matter what, I have to thank you for your help." Vaughn took the initiative to say, "Your appearance saved our soldiers from tragic death."
"This is what we should do." Ladoron said calmly.
It seems like this is just a trivial thing not worth mentioning.
"You are completely different from what I remember." Vaughn organized his words, "The ghosts of the past were not so polite."
"Maybe you're right."
Ladoron said calmly: "But when the archangel returns, everything will be different."
Archangel——
This is the second time Vaughan has heard this name.
"That's right."
Radolon seemed to be able to guess what Vaughn was thinking, "Just as you guessed, Archangel Sanguinius, she is our original body. Since her return, the Ninth Legion is no longer a ghost in the darkness.
, but the Blood Angels."
"She, a female Primarch?"
Vaughn said in surprise: "Sorry, we have been fighting the orcs in the Andros galaxy during this time, and we know very little about the news outside."
"Yes, she is indeed the emperor's only daughter. It was not a mistake in my statement."
Radolon explained.
"I'm shocked by the changes that have happened to you." Vaughan said hesitantly, "The angel you mentioned must have incredible abilities. I would be honored if I had the opportunity to thank her in person."
p>
No one will question the bravery of the Eighteenth Legion.
Same thing.
The XVIII Legion's philosophy of fighting to protect civilians is not widely recognized among the Astartes.
Even for the Ultramarines and the Luna Wolves, a legion with both honor and reputation.
Its essence is also guided by aristocratic thinking.
However, the 18th Legion puts itself in the same position as civilians.
The Astartes were also born from mortals, and should be able to reintegrate into mortals. There should be no class gap between the two.
Vaughn was unsure whether his Legion's ideals would be supported by the Primarch.
Therefore, in making this request.
Vaughan seemed hesitant.
"She will be happy to meet you." Radolon replied: "She heard about your deeds on the world of Corcyra, expressed her appreciation and admiration for it, and told us that your honor and pursuit are worthy of
We learn.”
"We will cherish this opportunity to fight side by side with you."
Ladoron said sincerely.
These words made several big bosses of the 18th Legion present stunned.
The soldiers of the 18th Legion are just like their original body. They are rough and resolute on the outside, but their inner emotions are extremely rich and delicate. Especially a veteran like Vaughn who has experienced many battles, he can naturally judge that Radolon's words are all true.
It comes from the bottom of my heart.
This damn straight shot——
Vaughn chuckled twice, stretched out his hand and scratched his head.
The fatigue caused by fighting without sleep for several days seemed to disappear at this moment.
"I dare to pat my chest and guarantee it." Nomin's narrow voice came at the right time, "If his face hadn't been too dark, you would definitely have seen that our selfless chief company commander is blushing now."
"Hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
