061 Painless death
In the end, Milak was unable to learn the name of the Chaos Boss who led the Children of Change into his flagship, and he was unable to even ask who was the identity of the Flame of Repentance, only to be given the nickname "Eternal Servant".
The Sons of Change, who were in a desperate situation, still looked like they were in control, and this confidence that came from nowhere disgusted Dimitri and his Grey Knights, who wanted to string the traitors with their spears as quickly as possible.
But in fact, the last children of change have begun to panic.
Because the time is not right.
Nicknamed the "Eternal Servant", the leader of the Sons of Change warband, watched Dimitri approach him with his spear in hand, and even his heart inevitably wavered.
At this time, no, nearly twenty minutes ago, the infiltration commando led by the Immutable Shrine should have taken the Seeker base that was still under construction, and used the powerful weapons on it to launch a general attack on the Flame of Repentance to respond to the actions on their side.
Based on the information provided by Ukai and the worship of the Lord of Change, the Children of Change learned of the fact that the Flame of Confession had just suffered heavy losses in a series of battles and could not afford to send troops to garrison the Seeker's base.
At the important moment of the assembly of the L-Star Gate, almost all the high-level technical priests tried their best to go to the scene to observe the pilgrimage, only some grassroots technicians and servants remained, and the defense force on the star base was extremely weak.
What exactly is the immutable deity doing? Why did he invade such an empty stellar base with a force second only to himself, but he didn't send good news and support for a long time?
The Eternal Servant didn't know why, but what he knew was that if he continued to harden his mouth, he would die.
The power spear in Dimitri's hand buzzed with powerful psionic energy, blood slid down the golden skull on Milak's armor, and at the top of the core chamber, the index fingers of the Mortal Auxiliaries were tightly gripped, and countless ray rifles were aimed at the chest of the Eternal Servant.
"Death! Heterodox! ”
Mirak raised his sword and charged, and countless guns opened fire at the same time, but the overwhelming fire only left a large black burn on the floor of the cabin.
Because the enemy is gone.
With a wave of reality-distorting psionic energy fluctuations, the last remnants of the Child of Change vanished out of thin air.
"Teleportation spells, but not their own spells, they don't cast spells, and someone is behind them to help them." Dimitri, with his profound psionic knowledge, quickly saw through the secret of the disappearance of the Children of Change, and immediately gave a solution:
"That person's psionic energy is very powerful, but such a hasty teleportation can't go too far, they are still in the battleship, send an order to go down, and the whole ship will be checked!"
Milak, of course, chose to trust the professionals: "The whole ship is cleared!" ”
After the order was given, all the forces of the entire battleship were mobilized, all external exits were closed, and Milak tried to lead a team to find the hidden traitor himself, but was stopped by Dimitri.
"The one who rescued them with teleportation spells should be the traitors among your warships, that is, the ones who helped them infiltrate the battleship." Dimitri said, "Who on your warship would have such a powerful psionic power and superb teleportation skills? ”
The answer is imminent.
Milak nodded slightly: "I see." ”
Next, Dimitri sent all the Grey Knights in his squad to work with the Flame of Confession warriors to purge the ship, while he himself followed Milak and his Honor Guard to the Cathedral of Glory aboard the Flame of Confession, where the ship's supreme command room was located.
This sacred room at the foot of the Emperor statue is responsible for the external communication and subspace navigation of the entire warband, and every star language and every subspace jump depends on the hard work of the navigators and star whisperers here.
During the Legion of the Martyrs' expedition, the prophetess Alexei herself sat here and temporarily served as the chief navigator of the Flame of Repentance, guiding the expeditionary army with her eyes that shone with the light of the Emperor.
And when Alexei left Falla with the blueprints of the L-Star Gate and returned to the core galaxy Nirvana, the original chief navigator of the Flame of Repentance took over this responsibility from the Prophetess.
The old and reliable veteran navigator was called "Old Geller the Wise" by the Astarte Friars of the Flame of Repentance, a title that the elder Geller himself loved, representing the warriors' recognition and praise for his excellent navigation.
If he hadn't been awakened by his friend Dimitri, Milak would never have imagined that this old man, who had been fighting with the warband for nearly a hundred years, would fall into chaos...... Subconsciously, he rejected and denied the possibility of such a thing.
Even with the all-pervasive temptation of chaos, it is definitely not easy to shake a loyal person like old Geller.
In Mirak's impression, this venerable old man never coveted material comforts such as money, nor did he seek glory or fame, he had always lived a pious life like an ascetic, dressed simply, ate modestly, and regarded assisting the expeditions of the warbands as his life's calling. Even if with his qualifications and contributions, he could have found a beautiful garden world to retire and retire, and he has always insisted on being active on the front line.
Why would such an old Geller betray the emperor and the empire he had served all his life?
With such doubts in mind, Milak opened the door to the command room.
The walls of the command room were still empty with traces of his previous battle and blood from repelling the first wave of the Changeling's sneak attack. The Starwhisperers, the clerks, and the navigator apprentices taught by old Geller were gone, except for a gray-haired figure kneeling on the cold ground in the center of the command room.
Even before he got closer, Astarte's keen sense of hearing caused Milak to hear a low cry overflowing from the old man's throat.
"I betrayed the Empire, the Empire betrayed me, I betrayed the Empire, the Empire betrayed me......"
Old Geller repeated these two sentences nervously, and the old body, supported by various life support prostheses, trembled slightly in tears.
Mirak silently removed his helmet, and the guards behind him did the same. Only Dimitri stood indifferently holding his spear in place, not showing a trace of expression on his steel-covered face.
"Even chaos can't trick a flawless loyal heart." Milak said in a sad voice, "Old Geller, what flaws your loyalty? ”
He knew the answer, he knew it, but Milac still wished he could hear old Geller speak of his sins and repent of them.
Only in this way will he be able to protect this old man who has served the empire all his life from the cruel torture of the Inquisition and receive a merciful and painless death.
