"Angels, you have created the perfect city, you have made the perfect city... You have no doubt about her. ”

"But... Why do you bring destruction to her? Why destroy your faith completely? ”

The young lady cried to the angel.

And the angels just numbly raised their guns and aimed them at her, at everyone behind her.

"Loyalty is more important than faith."

The angel replied softly, though it sounded like a dull growl.

The sound of explosive gunfire swallowed up all blank sights.

……

Ingrell Tay slowly released the trigger, a crisp rebound and empty magazine signaling that the carnage was over.

He stared at the corpse of the woman in front of him who had been torn apart by the bomb, her internal organs mixed with blood slowly flowing.

He could clearly see that there was still confusion and confusion on the woman's face, and that all the believers behind her had died in the same confusion, seemingly completely unable to understand why the City of Perfection was associated with the word 'loyalty'.

Yes, why is loyalty more important than faith?

Angler Tay himself is thinking about this.

He slowly lowered his blaster and looked up at the headless corpse that hung from the highest point in the City of Perfection.

Ingrell Tay recognized the sumptuous armor.

Once the head priest and now the head of the traitors, Erebus.

Among the Whisperers, he and the First Company Commander Colfaron were the most powerful, and even Angler Tay himself studied with Erebus for a while.

The most regrettable thing is that he did not realize that the chief priest secretly has a heretical belief and a tendency to rebel against the empire.

Otherwise... None of this should have happened.

Looking at the ruined buildings and corpses around him, Angley sighed softly.

"It's time to get out of here, sir."

A Whisperer's voice came from the communication channel, interrupting Angle's sigh.

It was accompanied by a Rand Raider, whose thick tracks could clearly be seen by Angler Tay, whose thick tracks were covered in fragments of blood and viscera, and the twin laser cannons emitted overheated white smoke.

It is clear that horrific massacres are everywhere.

As the commander of the Seventh Assault Company to which the Whisperers belong, Ingrel Tai had much more to do than that, in fact, in just a few hours, he had personally executed the lives of thousands of his worshippers.

Although this guilt did not affect Astarte's tenacious spirit in any way, the pride of destroying the Seventeenth Legion with his own hands still made everyone in a bad mood.

Angel Tay returned to his fighting brother with heavy steps.

“… Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”

A Waiver came to his side.

“… No one is going to be in a good mood, Shafen. ”

Angeltay grunted as he reloaded.

Seeing that this dear friend was in such a low state, Xia Fen shrugged his shoulders slightly: "This is force majeure, we are all forced, brother." No one would have known that such a thing would happen in the Legion. ”

"yes... Force majeure, I don't know he would do such a thing. ”

With the slowly closing hatch of the Rand Raiders, Angeltay's eyes were still fixed on the building where the traitor's corpse hung from it.

Of all the buildings in the Perfect City, only the giant church with the traitor's body was not destroyed - it seemed to be a tacit understanding between the Bearers, or the Astartes' awe of the scarlet figure in the church.

And this awe probably comes from the truth told by the Wai Sayers who stayed in the City of Perfection.

"If only I had found out sooner..."

"At the very least, there will be fewer sacrifices."

Listening to Angeltai's increasingly tired appearance, Xia Fen's brows became more and more furrowed.

"Do you know what you're talking about? My brother. ”

"If you reveal the truth about him... Those high-ranking priests won't let you go. ”

There was concern in Shane's tone, he knew that Angeltay had studied with Erebus for a while, but after Angeltai decided to join the Sawtooth Sunband, the two became more estranged and parted ways.

In his opinion, there is a possibility of mutiny among such high-ranking priests and company commanders in the legion, and the forces at the bottom don't even need to think about it.

In fact, the entire Bearer is now in a state of apprehension - the officers who had been close to Erebus and Colfalon have proven their innocence in the most brutal way, and several of them have even resolutely imprisoned themselves in the dreadnought sarcophagus to prove their absolute loyalty to the Emperor.

The slightest flame of rebellion in the eyes of the Emperor can be called a storm that has swept through almost all classes in the Seventeenth Legion.

With examples like Erebus and Colfalon, there was no guarantee that the rest of the officers would have rebelled against them, and the vast majority of officers had their rights completely withdrawn from the genetic protogen, and the current structure of the Spokesperson rule has shifted from the rigid and complex officer-priest dual-track of the past to a single system with full authority based on the orders of the genetic protogen.

Even... Under the orders of the Emperor, the command of this operation to destroy the City of Perfection has been handed over to a stranger unknown to all those who bear the promise.

He was also the one who exposed Erebus's vicious, Colfaron's machinations.

Lord of the Twelfth Legion, Elaine.

In the mouths of the Speakers who remained in the City of Perfection, since the sudden arrival of the Lord of the Twelfth Legion in the City of Perfection, she revealed the truth of Erebas's rebellion and executed the Chief Priest in full view.

At first, none of the speakers believed the truth, and even their genetic protoplasms briefly questioned the truth.

At first, only the group of Bearers who remained in the City of Perfection followed her orders, but everyone was shocked when she revealed the truth in everyone's hearts.

While most of the bearers were skeptical about the identity of the Lord of the Twelfth Legion, the Emperor's presence discouraged them from seeking the truth.

Even though the destruction of the Perfect City was filled with endless doubts, no one could question the will of the God-Emperor.

Even Lorga Aurelian, who is also a genetic proto, is the same.

……

Beside the female corpse, which had become cold, a figure emerged from the shadows.

"Poor Cyrene, poor Cyrene..."

"Your eternal destiny has not yet begun, but it has been destroyed by the orders of the tyrant..."

"But your fate isn't over yet... The position of Hand of Fate is still vacant. ”

"The Great Rebellion must truly take place, and chaos must be strangled in the demise of humanity."

"And you will be born again in a new identity..."

"In the capacity of Esoteric Buddhism—in my name, Damon Plethanis."

His lamenting whispers were muffled by the sound of artillery fire, but the darkness in the shadows engulfed the broken female corpse.

Until all traces are completely gone.
