Chapter 357 The Battalion Commander and the Sergeant Did Something Bad
They supported each other and went deeper, feeling that the silence in the objective sense was moving away from them, while the subjective silence was grabbing their souls. ơɱ
The light around them kept getting brighter, and the damp water splashed and broke when the iron boots passed by, echoing in this tunnel that had gone through years.
The alien Hrud seemed to be lurking inside the wall, making a steady rustling noise like a crouching rat, and the heavy timed roar was divided into two vibrations with different sound sources, one falling at the end of the tunnel they were heading to, and the other slightly deviated from the direction and climbed towards the surface.
The flow of time embraced the existence of the battalion commander and the sergeant, passing through their hair and skin, quietly taking away the flowing matrix of time from the armor.
The weapons they had were already exhausted, and the ceramsite and steel of the empire were damaged under the high-intensity intermittent entropy field. All that was left was the armor with the shell peeled off, the flesh and blood body of the Astartes, and the stasis grenade in Zoran's bag.
Dantioch and Zoran approached the end of the tunnel without saying a word.
Prepare to attack.
Dantioch stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was all alien technology that he couldn't understand.
After witnessing the green-lighted energy control center of the Iron Wing, the research and collections within the Thousand Dust Sun Legion, and the mysterious system of the Night Ghost King's Court next door, the Iron Warriors gradually formed a consensus that their beloved father liked to study some strange things... maybe not so in line with the core of the Imperial Truth.
Where is this?
"Hurry up--" Zoran coughed twice, and the shout echoed behind him, infinitely stretched.
There are enemies. Dantioch, who was walking in front, observed the situation in the room they finally arrived at through the almost closed slit in the wall, and gestured back. Technician.
At this moment, Dantioch saw that the floor of this hall was covered with broken dark green crystals, and in the center was a huge dark green stone. A dangerous evil energy was intertwined with the effect of time entropy and expanded. He suspected that the skin under his armor had become too pale, fragile and thin, and his bones had become brittle, like an old man who should not appear in the center of the battlefield.
"I think you are ready, Zoran." Dantioch sighed.
In this brief moment, Dantioch had already used his elbow to break the last closed vitrified soil layer and broke into this dark room with a faint green light and aging plants on the ground.
Steel produces strength, strength produces will, will produces faith, faith produces honor, and honor produces steel.
"Come here, help me modify the detonator." Dantioch coughed and said, "Then we will get a spaceship and blow up this place--"
The style of the murals here is in line with the murals they saw briefly when they fell, probably related to the history of the Hrud people. The contents of the carvings were difficult to discern, but they seemed to include the initial images of migration and travel, as well as the subsequent guide to the alien lifestyle. Everything here seemed to be completely new to them.
"Perhaps, they want to control time." Dantioch said hoarsely.
"That should be the main entrance." Following the guidance of the murals, Dantioch looked at the wide passage connected to the hall.
Zoran grabbed the stasis grenades, pulled the bolts one by one, and threw them at the Hrud in bundles.
And they seemed to regard the same important thing as the top priority of their research, which was reflected in various parts of the murals.
He looked up at the huge dark green crystal stone, and developed a genetic aversion to the substance condensed inside the energy stone, as if it was something extremely filthy and terrible.
Seven. No weapons.
Dantioch looked down carefully, kicked away some rubble, and finally found some familiar force field generators, connected to the energy line in a strange way, and just started to run again.
"You are the battalion commander," Zoran laughed, and the laughter turned into a short cough. "Know everything."
The Hrud wave rushed into the energy hall, and the equipment was better than the average level on the ground. The black mist spread and immediately overwhelmed the running stasis field generator again, pushing time to flow rapidly.
"It's too late," Zoran threw down the wrench in his hand and said angrily, "Can't they let me install the stasis field related devices once, even once?"
Dantioch squatted down slowly, found some tools used by the Hrud from the ground, and selected some that he could use.
Time condensed in an instant, and then exploded.
Zoran gave up thinking about the internal structure of the complex nests that the Hrud had built throughout the planet.
A loud noise suddenly broke out from the direction of the main gate, and Dantioch was startled. He recognized the noise and clamor that belonged to the angry Hrud, and also felt the distorted light, the rapidly rising heat and the distorted traces of time and space.
They could at least do something more for the Iron Warriors.
By the way, I really recommend reading the series of stories of the Angel of Atonement, the effect is very subversive and impactful (x)
At this moment, he was not surprised at all, but just remembered the face of the Father of Genes.
The tunnel became narrower and narrower, and when approaching the final green light, the two could only move sideways one after another.
Today's trivia:
Zoran slowly took out a stasis grenade from his bag, as if he was weighing whether the time and space effect brought by a grenade was enough to lock it in the stagnant years so that he could take it back and dedicate it to the Primarch for research.
Plan?
Suddenly, things around him caught up with his time, or maybe his time was suppressed from passing. The effect of the entropy field was suddenly offset, and Dantioch took advantage of the opportunity to quickly deal with the remaining members of the Herud team. He turned his head and saw a familiar four-bracket metal device.
Of course, Dantioch felt that Zoran's silence was probably because he bit his tongue when he fell in the explosion.
——
Dantioch observed carefully and then made a cautious judgment: energy.
The Hrud collected many abandoned or lost temporary stasis field generators from the Iron Warriors fleet here, and piled them near their energy sources. It was unknown what research they wanted to do.
"We have captured Hrud ships," Dantioch said slowly, "I know something about them..."
"Throw it!" Dantioch roared.
Zoran squatted down on his knees and took out the stasis grenades he carried in his bag one by one.
Those waves of time rushing from the present to the past, and the sharp arrows pointing from the future to the past.
Dantioch punched quickly and slowly, and the horrified screams of the Hrud were inserted into his fragments of time. The creatures wearing robes and holding long whips slowly fell to the ground, and wisps of black energy were still in the air. .
He suddenly remembered a feat he had made many years ago, the Pharos Lighthouse in Sousa. When the Primarch Perturabo stepped into the depths of the lighthouse and came into contact with the unknown power, the extremely similar time tide made him feel the same sense of dislocation. Just like in the past, time once again came in like a tide, collapsed to both sides, and grew out of countless gaps, bringing more synchronic images.
The sense of confusion in time suddenly intensified. He seemed to be here and elsewhere at the same time, in ten million co-existing moments based on people or places.
"And over there," Dantioch looked toward a long slit corridor connected by a large number of energy-transporting pipes, "the Hrud Spaceship Port."
The core of Hrud's lair was probably still more heavily guarded than they imagined. Probably not long after, the two nearly defenseless and exhausted Astartes would be caught red-handed by the indignant aliens.
The Belacane Forge World is famous for its production of stasis force fields. It has the most powerful technology. Even the experts who repaired the Golden Throne and Guilliman's force fields have traveled thousands of miles to visit. The degree of mechanization transformation is unknown. The great sage Daedus…
Zoran tapped Dantioch's gauntlets rhythmically. how many.
"Even this planet, I don't know." Zoran's expression became solemn under his helmet. "It depends on the mystery of the space-time equations, at least I can't figure it out."
Dantioch slowly raised a hand, telling Zoran to calm down and look around at the murals in the room.
"It's too deep here," Dantioch said, "and the size of the energy stone you can usually see is just the debris on this boulder. You will destroy this lair."
The boulder also made him uncomfortable. He would not presume to ask for trouble and kept staring at it.
Zoran couldn't find a suitable standard military gesture and asked his battalion commander if he planned to strangle the Hruds to death one by one with his bare hands.
"We have to... well, find a way to destroy it," Zoran said, looking away. "And freeze two stones and take them back to father."
He is a child, an adult, and an old man at the same time. He is grazing in the countryside of Olympia, lifting hot melt among the burning stars; his strong and trustworthy hands are separated from the entropy field with a radius of 1.5 meters, and he will be defenseless. The screaming Hrud broke at his knees; Zoran was behind him, his bag full of dangerous stasis grenades, and he used his solid arm armor to smash the slender head of the Hrud. The first one, In the second, the enemy was defeated; at the same time, he was discussing with his companions on the ship the difference between the dome theater and the steeple theater; he looked at Sigismund face to face in the cold wind of Inwit, and he also Taking out the beacon for positioning, he wanted to ask Eric if he knew Zoran, cursing the damaged sound array sequence, or lighting a bright beacon with Alexis Polux.
"Ours, hiss," Zoran limped over and shook the slime off his gauntlets. "This is our generator..."
One day he was found dead of a stroke.
"Listen to the original body," he said with a smile, while fiddling with the tools and instruments on the ground. "We will try to get out alive. You sail the boat..."
For example, the former company commander of this regiment tamed a devil, stripped it naked, and kept it in a gallery darkroom (x)
