Fortress No. 7 has been completely torn apart by the flames of war. All the original buildings have been destroyed, leaving only temporary roadblocks.
"No forgiveness!! Never retreat!"
Deathwing Grand Master Belial roared, the storm bolter in his hand roared, and the enemy fell to the ground in the torrent of bolts and explosions.
The battle was brutally brief, but the peace that followed was short-lived as more hungry enemies gathered towards the Dark Angels.
Belial led the squad through the archway and into the courtyard behind, firing with his bolter as the remaining Black Legion heretics were drawn to the battle like moths to a flame, howling for blood and death.
For this attack, the Dark Angels paid a heavy price. The enemy ambushed and deployed crossfire in the ruins, and the Angels' attack was greatly disrupted.
In the roofless church, in the pale light and shadow, in the destroyed quadrilateral building, Belial directed his team, looking for an open space, knowing that in the event of close contact, the Deathwing Terminators would
It can crush the enemy.
Building after building, street after street, they advanced towards the enemy, stopping to fire when they might encounter an ambush, and then immediately moved forward to launch an attack once the enemy was driven out of their bunkers.
"We've pulled out their sting, brother!"
The adjutant, who is also a Deathwing veteran, said that his observation was correct. Their team was almost at the edge of the church ruins and occupied the center of the fortress.
"Send a signal to the Supreme Master to shrink the surrounding area."
As soon as Beria finished these words, tears of fire suddenly fell from the sky, and landing capsules began to land one after another around the fortress.
Soon, another army appeared in the darkness.
Walking in front of them was a beast-like warrior. The scarlet armor was decorated with spiked chains. The trophy skulls were hung on the chains, making a clanking sound when shaking. He held a huge chain ax in his hands, with the teeth of the ax hanging on it.
Glittering in the pale light.
Kranon the Merciless, the Dark Angels' worst enemy in the forty-first millennium.
"Get out, you bastards of the First Legion!!!"
Kranon roared and ran, and behind him, the Crimson Slayers howled in salute to their god of war and charged after their lord.
There is no reason why the Heartless are so excited. In fact, his hatred for the Dark Angels far exceeds that of any other Chapter.
The relationship between the Crimson Slayer and the Dark Angel dates back to the Crimson Saber era, and Kranon himself pushed the feud between the two parties to the extreme.
After the Chapter was cursed, Kranon kept trying to get in touch with the curse. He began to set his sights on an illusory Chaos artifact, and based on the clues, he found a desolate asteroid.
When he landed on the asteroid, he saw the remains of some alien buildings. This place had been an outpost of some kind of alien, but the specific location was unclear.
The landing team wandered among the ruins. After turning a corner, they found two people arguing.
It was an Astartes in power armor, one of them still wearing robes. Although they were shocked to see the intruder in such a desolate place, both strangers drew their weapons and moved with incredible speed and accuracy.
Fire.
The battle was short. After losing five Terminators, Kranon captured an enemy in black armor alive, while another warrior in robes relied on his double guns to cause a large number of casualties before disappearing into the void.
middle.
After returning to the fleet, Kranon handed the prisoner to the wizard Manon for interrogation, and unexpectedly discovered a secret that had been buried for thousands of years!
After psychic infiltration and other powerful methods caused the prisoner to collapse, the prisoner confessed that his name was Turiel, and that he had been a dark angel during the Great Crusade. As for his escaped accomplices, Turiel refused to say more, they only knew
The man in the robe came here shortly before the Scarlet Slayer, and because he had a premonition of danger, he asked Turiel to escape.
Turiel was seemingly immortal, spending his long life traveling across the galaxy, fighting as a mercenary and even working with other traitors outside of the Eye of Terror.
However, he has repented of his actions and is living a lonely life on the far edge of the galaxy, seeking redemption.
Kranon was furious at this incident. Due to a misunderstanding, his chapter had been expelled from the Adeptus Astartes, but the Empire highly praised the ancient evil legions, and their traitors were full of Horus.
Among the Astartes who turned against the Emperor during the Heresy!
Why!
Why should they be excommunicated and judged just for their radical behavior?
Why can these dark angels hide their secrets for ten thousand years!
The image of the Dark Angels has become uglier than ever in Kranon's mind. They are a group of hypocrites, a group of warriors who have lost their morality and honor, and such a group of people openly accuse them of being traitors!
So he made up his mind to take revenge on these hypocrites, hoping that his first appearance would be something the Dark Angels would never forget.
When a small team rushed to the city of fallen angels mentioned by Turiel, Kranon also prepared a series of traps. He found what he wanted in the newly established church world, named "Stern Memorial"
"Tang"
Without warning, the Crimson Slayer attacked the Stern Memorial Hall with brutal violence. The residents had nowhere to escape, and the demon engines and hell beasts ran through every street, trampling the creatures under their feet to death.
Thousands of church bells rang, but their bells did not help those destined to die. A few honor guards launched a limited defense, but they could not slow down the Crimson Slayer's offensive. Only when the planet
When the last resident died, the traitors began the next stage - piling the bodies into the church.
The corpses of the dead were piled up to the huge vaulted ceiling, like a grim chalice.
After everything was ready, Kranon ordered his wizard to send a message to the Dark Angels - a warp message. Not only did he send a map to the monolith, but he also wrote the name of a fallen angel on it, which could be used in the warp.
Found there at Turn Memorial Hall.
In the process, he did not forget to laugh at the dark angel's dirty secret.
At the Stern Memorial Hall, Kranon deliberately left a guard alive and told him the past hidden by the Dark Angel.
The Crimson Slayer set a trap, then left the deserted planet and returned to the warp to await the enemy's arrival.
The Dark Angels' strike cruiser Caliban's Pride quickly arrived and cautiously approached the orbit. Two Thunderhawks swooped down to allow the Space Marines of the Fifth Company to land.
Kranon gave them a moment to admire the horrific scene left by the Butcher, before a swarm of drop pods quickly penetrated the atmosphere, and the war began.
Before the Dark Angels could escape, they were surrounded.
The Fifth Company's numbers and ferocity were no match for the traitors, and they were forced to retreat, struggling through the narrow streets.
Although follow-up support from the Dark Angels arrived in time and retook the fallen city known as "Attias Untamed", the Dark Angels lost many warriors, including Captain Zadakir of the 5th Company
.
The hatred between the two sides has become endless at this point.
