Warhammer: I live under the watchful eyes of the gods

Chapter 210 The Fall of Karofis

"Go out and turn left and the weapon warehouse in the corridor has been opened. Take your equipment and break out towards the B-231 area. The reinforcements are already on the way."

That was the communication audio from the small speakers on the wall.

But it was this seemingly ordinary notice that rekindled the hope in Kaya's heart.

She remembered that voice, and she would not admit it.

But isn't he dead?
Apparently no one survived the explosion of a Lunar class cruiser.

unless…………

Reminiscent of the terrifying card that was given to her, Kaya seemed to have her own answer.

Putting on the cold mask again, she immediately greeted the soldiers who were temporarily detained in the abandoned library with her.

There was no hesitation, as those soldiers were 100% loyal to the Emperor, thanks to the Winds of Resurrection.

Outside the door is the sound of automatic machine guns firing wildly.

Mixed with the screams of the Paladin guards and the piercing sirens, the whole area can be said to be temporarily in chaos.

"Do you control the machine..."

Seeing that the corridor was guarded by the Paladin guards who plowed into real meat sauce with heavy bullet chains, Kaya felt a little relieved. She was too familiar with this fighting style.

But more doubts also arose in her heart.

This is not Isstvan III, the kind of "backcountry".

These automatic defense machines are unstoppable, those Thousand Sons who are deployed here.

And more importantly, there is a blue-red giant here.

It was a force that made Kaya shudder just to recall it in her mind.

At that time, she had already fought against the giant once holding a "judge" that could almost be called a divine weapon.

Obviously, in terms of her current situation, the outcome of that duel is self-evident.

For the first time in Magnus, she saw her insignificance.

But what about this?
Everything she had experienced on Isstvan III had told her—it was time to fight back.

This is a kind of trust, a feeling she gained on Isstvan III.

"buzzing"

That was the sound of the wall-mounted defensive weapons starting to warm up, and it meant that the enemy had begun to approach this area.

Standard Tara time 23:45:00
In fact, the teleportation platform responsible for the evacuation was not far from the abandoned library where Kaya and her party were imprisoned.

And under the cover of the hacked automatic turrets around them, it can be said that they basically encountered no organized resistance along the way.

Perhaps the group of Paladin guards in charge of guarding never dreamed that the machines, which are jointly controlled by psionic energy and machines, would one day point their guns at their own people without warning.

But just as Kaya was worried at first, when the group of them finally trotted all the way to the door of the teleportation room, a tall figure blocked their way.

The good news is that it wasn't Magnus who was coming.

The bad news is that the person who came was Captain Karofis of the Fire Phoenix School.

In fact, Karofis himself was also confused about this encounter.

He was just called by Magnus to send a message, asking him to confirm all the preparations for war, and the most important preparations for the Psionic Titan with the melting skeleton.

At that time, Karofis will remotely control the magnificent war machine in the pyramid.

Although Carlofis still hasn't figured out where the enemies that make Magnus nervous come from.

And tomorrow there will be two fully formed legions gathered here.

This kind of terrifying combat power, looking at the entire galaxy, can make anyone who dares to be an enemy of the empire tremble.

What was the primarch worried about?
Everything seems to have started to gradually slide towards an irreversible abyss after the mysterious ceremony known only to Ahriman and Magnus.

But none of these doubts and doubts could be the reason for Carlofis to let go of the group of escapees in front of him.

Spirit energy surged, and his body began to heat up.

That is the power of Lie Yan (raging flames), and that is the fighting style of the Fire Phoenix School - burn all enemies.

Slowly raising the scepter in his right hand, Carlofis issued an ultimatum to the group of escapees in front of him.

"Surrender or die?"

The air continued to heat up, just like the psionic energy surging in Carlofis's body, the surrounding psionic energy also began to stir.

It was a coercion, a coercion from Karofis' psychic power.

But beyond Carlofis' expectations, the group of mortals in front of him did not choose to compromise.

It stands to reason that under such terrifying psychic coercion, it is impossible for these ordinary people to simply maintain standing.

And here is the core of Tizca on Prospero, the hometown of the Thousand Sons.

Why did Kaya and her party think they could escape?
Besides, even if Kaya and her party can escape, how will they face the pursuit of the entire human empire in the future?

Think of the massive artillery groups outside, anti-aircraft missile groups, space defense orbital platforms, and even the entire fleet belonging to Qianzi that has been preparing for a long time.

Who gave this group of people the courage to escape from prison here?

The atmosphere froze awkwardly.

Obviously, this kind of stalemate is extremely unfavorable to Kaya, who is obviously at a disadvantage.

The scorching air scorched her nostrils, as if the whole world was burning.

The giant in red armor and holding a flaming scepter stood in front of the door representing hope.

Her legs even began to tremble uncontrollably under the oppression of strong spiritual energy.

There is no chance.

This is the result of Kaya's rational analysis.

The judge has already been confiscated.

Unlike those ordinary weapons, after discovering that this weapon could even scratch Magnus, the guards who surrounded him immediately took away the Judge.

If the gun was still in Kaya's hands at this moment, she even felt that she might take another gamble.

Although Magnus could not be defeated, Karofis in front of him could probably seriously injure him.

But looking at the fireballs gradually gathering at the top of Karofis' scepter, she was not overly nervous.

It was a promise, crooning songs of healing, and she chose to trust that promise completely.

"On the day when the stars fall, I will still be by your side."

"There is no need to fear, no need to grieve, our soul will reach the other side of life."

It is a song representing parting, but also a hymn representing meeting.

The only pity is that the reinforcements in this promise seem to be slightly different from what she thought.

A super long soaring braid was placed on the head of that strange figure with great personality.

His speed was so fast that even Carlofis had no time to react.

Before the scepter in Carlofis's hand could even release the flame that had already been fully charged, Abadan's iron fist made close contact with his cheek.

The same Astartes, the same company commander, but it is obvious that Abadan is much stronger than Carlofis in melee combat.

Even though the body he used was a little uncomfortable, but these flaws did not prevent him from beating up a "coward who only hides behind and casts magic".

Yes, this is what Abadan said about Karofis.

It is true that Carlofis, as the company commander, is already much stronger than the other Thousand Sons in close combat.

But in the face of Aba Dan, whose specialty happens to be violent melee combat, it obviously needs more practice.

Especially after losing the distance advantage, Carlofis was completely at a disadvantage from the moment he was attacked.

Generally speaking, in Abadan's opinion, this Carlofis in front of him is obviously far worse than his former best friend, the commander of the second society of the Falcon School of the Thousand Sons, Fuxis Taka.

Compared with the Falcon School, which has both offensive and defensive stance spears and shields, the Fire Phoenix School, which simply emphasizes power, is obviously not suitable for encounters in such a narrow space.

Thinking of this, the iron fist in Abadan's hand became a little heavier.

Yes, he didn't carry any weapons.

Because he really couldn't imagine how those ornately decorated scepters would be used in battle.

The heavy punch was once again under Abadan's command. The power contained in this punch was so terrifying that even the soaring braid on his head fluttered backwards due to the strong wind from the iron fist.

"bump"

That was the loud sound of another iron fist hitting Carlofis' helmet heavily.

There was a metallic scream from the joint of the heavy helmet.

Until the metal chute responsible for interlocking could no longer bear it, Aba Dan's iron fist that was slow but contained terrifying power.

That is the unique temperament of Abadan.

With the heavy swing of the last punch, Carlofis's red power armor, which was decorated with "bangs" on both sides of the sphinx face, was severely deformed and completely knocked into the air.

And after losing his helmet, Carlofis' bruised and swollen cheeks, which had been punched by Abadan continuously without giving him a moment to breathe, were finally revealed.

In fact, at this moment Carlofis was indeed a bit confused.

In just tens of seconds, he was hit on the head dozens of times in succession.

From the intensity of the attack, Carlofis could deduce that the one who attacked him was definitely an Astartes.

But how is this possible?

Motivation, purpose, candidate?
Kalofis couldn't find any possibility of sneak attacking others in this pyramid library.

But from the opponent's skillful fighting style, Karofis knew very well that the opponent's combat power was by no means inferior to his own.

Since being attacked till now, he hasn't even found any chance to fight back.

Don't look at it as just an ordinary straight punch attack, but under the punch that looks like a gang fight, there is murderous intent everywhere.

Carlofis knew very well that as long as he dared to fight back, the weak points leaked by the movement of the joints would immediately suffer more serious injuries.

To make matters worse, he knew very well that the other party was here for his life.

Without holding back any hands, the power contained in each of his punches almost completely smashed his brain into a meat paste.

He was very puzzled, what was the meaning of the other party doing this?
Why do the Astartes attack each other?
But now that the helmet was broken, there was no time left for Carlofis to think so much.

During the time when he was passively beaten, he actually didn't sit still completely.

A jet of scorching flames has already converged.

"burn everything"

In the next moment, the jet suddenly appeared in the void without warning.

The iron fist waved towards Abadan to attack.

At this moment, even through the helmet on Abadan's head, Carlofis could still see the enemy's shock from the slight trembling of the opponent's whole body.

While Abadan twisted his body to avoid the scorching jet that suddenly appeared and contained terrifying power, Karofis chose to put all his eggs in one basket.

He knew very well that he could not defeat that existence, this was his only chance.

In this narrow environment with no retreat, he was no match for the mysterious man in front of him.

I don't know why the reinforcements didn't arrive for a long time. It stands to reason that there should be a large number of Thousand Sons stationed in this sacred central pyramid library.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Carloface will not allow those people to escape at this juncture.

This will become an indelible shame for the entire Thousand Sons Legion.

"Ascend to the tenth level of state of mind."

In the past, this is a meditation method used by the Thousand Sons to suppress the rampage of psionic energy.

In this state, Carlofis felt a long-lost tranquility.

The world is so clear, the thoughts are so quick, and the surging spiritual energy gathered around is as clearly visible as silk threads.

It was a vast force, enough for Carlofis to burn all the enemies in front of him.

But this is far from enough, at least when facing the traitor who suddenly appeared in front of him, the lack of strength made him suffer a lot.

He knew very well that what he was going to do next was as irreversible as opening a Pandora's box.

But Carlofis, who has touched that boundary many times, knows exactly where the so-called limit is.

The state of mind is like a dam in Qianzi's body, which can quietly accumulate spiritual energy and make it available for them to use.

And at this moment, what Carlofis has to do is to raise the water level in the dam above the limit height.

As the restrictions were gradually lifted, he felt an unprecedented force gradually gathering.

This is actually no different from the 7-day trial.

It's just that the 7-day trial will raise the water level to a level that is almost overflowing, but at this moment he just slightly let the water level overflow the standard line.

Generally speaking, although it is also relatively dangerous, Karofis, who stands at the apex of the Fire Phoenix School, cannot refuse this pursuit of greater power and knowledge just like Magnus.

At least in his impression, "overclocking" in this range is within the controllable range.

But when he operated as usual, an accident happened.

It was a dam that had long been decayed, a dam that should have collapsed on time tomorrow.

Under the guise of the 7-day trial, the dam in the hearts of the Thousand Sons was already on the verge of bursting under extreme pressure.

That's exactly what Magnus planned.

That would be a welcome ceremony, a welcome ceremony without any flaws due to "acting in your true colors".

Because except for Magnus who is still sitting firmly at the core of the central pyramid library at this moment, "no one knows this upcoming battle."

But it was evident from his deeply inwardly furrowed blue eyebrows at the moment that things seemed to be spiraling out of control.
