As soon as Soshyan's words came out, Asterion, who realized that he had been fooled, immediately drew out his fighting knife, fended off the whizzing chain halberd, and tried to rush out of the door.
But Amnak's sword came from a strange angle like a snake, slashing at Asterion's left leg. The King of the Labyrinth instinctively took a step back, but the sword immediately changed its direction. From what he saw,
It stabbed and slashed at the back joint of his left leg at an invisible speed, severing the artificial tendon without hurting his body.
Amid the whine of the server, the Terminator's left leg quickly lost power.
Asterion wanted to communicate to warn his guards, but found that the signal was completely blocked, and there was only white noise in the communicator.
Then, the unactivated chain saw halberd hit the back joint of his right leg hard, and the huge force forced him to bend his knees, and then he fell to the ground.
With the sound of heavy footsteps, other Terminators ran in, swarmed him and pushed him to the ground.
"Soshyan! Soshyan!"
Finally, Asterion, who was knocked down by someone, no longer had the calmness before. He struggled and roared angrily.
"I didn't expect you to be so despicable! You are not worthy of being a Space Marine at all! You have insulted the armor you are wearing! You are a liar! A poisonous snake!! You will pay the price for today's actions!"
"Bastard! How dare you be so bold at this time!"
Mark cursed and hit Asterion's helmet twice with his fist, making a clanging sound.
At this time, Faisal was also shocked. He had never expected that things would develop like this, as if his many years of experience in officialdom had become a blank sheet of paper——
However, he immediately forced himself to resolve the immediate crisis immediately, because Soshyan did not seem to intend to stop there.
He walked up to Asterion and looked down at the leader of the Minotaur Chapter. This giant was so powerful that even three or four Terminators could hardly hold him down, but that was all.
"You still dare to resist. Now I have reason to suspect that you have fallen and become an accomplice of the Red Pirates. Even the original Asterion Chapter Master is dead and an Alpha Viper has replaced him. Take off your helmet and let me
Look at the face of this traitor."
"Damn it! Soshyan! How dare you! Do you know what you are doing? I will definitely kill you!"
Feisal was even more shocked when he heard this, because although Asterion was quite famous in Terra, it was said that no one had ever seen his face, because in his more than five hundred years of service, this legendary chapter leader had also
There were eight situations that were considered completely impossible to survive, but he always seemed to escape death in the end. He experienced a full eight times in 500 years that were considered "completely impossible to survive", so some people think that
His equipment and identity were inherited by his successor. The chapter announced to the outside world that "Asterion survived". In fact, the man under the armor had long been changed, so this man never showed his face.
Feisal hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Commander Soshyan! Please don't do this! You have something to say!"
But no one paid attention to him. As a mortal, he had no ability to stop the actions of a group of Astartes.
In the end, no matter how much Asterion screamed, Mark took off his helmet forcibly, revealing a bald head and a fierce face full of scars. He was gnashing his teeth and staring at Thor with a selective and devouring gaze.
Shi Yang seems to be an enemy with different fates.
Soshyan just sneered.
"I thought it was so special, Special Envoy Feisal, you heard it too. He even uttered wild words about killing me. Such a stubborn murderer must have fallen into the embrace of the Chaos God and become a shameful traitor."
After saying that, he waved his hand.
"Drag them out, kill them, and disarm the Minotaur war group. If there is any resistance, they will be treated as traitors and annihilated on the spot. After that, I will personally send a letter to Terra to explain."
"Soshiyan! How dare you! You are rebelling! You are rebelling! What kind of space warriors are you playing with such intrigues? Do you dare to fight me head-on!"
When Asterion was dragged up, he screamed wildly, and Mark immediately raised his fist when he saw this.
"Traitor bastard! Shut up!"
He punched the opponent twice, causing blood to vomit from the opponent's mouth, broken teeth flying, and his whole face seemed to be distorted.
Hearing that Soshyan was going to shoot Asterion, Feisal panicked and quickly stepped forward and waved his hand:
"Commander Soshyan, no! No! In the face of a powerful enemy, we must not kill each other! And if you do so, it will be regarded as rebellion!"
"Huh? Is this weird?"
At this time, people outside also gathered around. Soshiyang pointed at Asterion with doubts and said:
"This man brought weapons into important military areas without permission, and also threatened my life as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, as well as your distinguished envoy. He is not a traitor, so why did I become a traitor instead?"
As he spoke, he looked at the chapter leaders.
"Do you think this is strange?"
Looking at everyone talking, some people have already seen the clues, but the reputation of the Minotaur is so bad that no one will speak for them.
Feisal's eyes twitched. He knew that he had underestimated the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. He had already lost everything in the first battle this time.
But he is still trying to save the situation.
"Maybe. It's true that a certain attendant made a mistake."
"Okay, then send someone to investigate now. If this is really the case, I will apologize immediately and let him go."
Faisal knew that since the other party dared to arrange this, there would definitely be nothing to investigate, so he changed the subject.
"Lord Soshyan, this matter is actually not that serious. There is no need to make such a big fuss. Chapter Commander Asterion has served the empire for hundreds of years and has made great achievements. He is definitely not a traitor. Treat this as a misunderstanding.
We shake hands and make peace without damaging each other's goodwill and the honor of the Adeptus Astartes."
Looking at the special envoy, Soshyan smiled and shook his head.
"Special envoy, this is a time of war. How can you say that the matter is not serious? What is involved here is top-secret military information. You should also have an understanding of the confidentiality system and its significance in the military. Once military secrets are leaked, the price may be high.
It is the lives of thousands of soldiers! As their supreme commander, how can I not be cautious and cautious? There is no small matter in the military affairs, but since you said so, I respect the voice of the High Lords Council, but this person must
It must be vetted to make sure he is not a traitor and will not leak military secrets."
As an old bureaucrat, how could Feisal not know what the so-called "examination" is? Most of the empire's examinations can basically be linked to torture, especially psychic interrogation.
"Commander-in-chief, there is something good to say. I am willing to vouch for Chapter Commander Asterion."
"Sir Faisal, this is not a question of guarantee or not. I can't risk the lives of my soldiers. If you really think there is something wrong with my decision, I am willing to abdicate and make way for someone better. You can arrange for a new commander to take this position."
, I will immediately lead the battle group back to the home planet."
"Oh, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice.
"Supreme Lord Commander Soshyan, can we talk privately?"
