Located on the ground below the crack in the central pyramid, nearly a thousand people had gathered at this time.

The Astarte squads that had infiltrated the pyramid in the armored forces of the Mecha were assembled with great efficiency, and a total of 514 Death Stalker warriors in bronze power armor were divided into 5 100-man companies with different tactical styles and division of labor to work together to forcefully and efficiently slaughter the underworld structures that slipped out of the steel torrent of the Mecha.

It also gave Alphonse and the others enough time to take Milac out of the pyramid for treatment.

Mirak passed out of Alphonse as soon as he saw him, and after being taken outside the pyramid, the preachers removed Milak's tattered power armor and injected him with an overdose of catalytic steroid that activates the body's ability to regenerate to stabilize his vital signs, releasing a large number of nanobots into his wounds and blood vessels to repair the severely injured body that was about to fall apart at the atomic level.

Milak's two hearts were beating strongly, his vital signs were gradually stabilizing, and his wounds were rapidly being engaged...... The company commander "Samuel Carñon", who commanded the death pursuers, was a little unable to calm down.

The military pharmacist silently came behind the company commander of Carnion and whispered, "Even Oglim would never survive such a heavy injury, but the followers of the Bullet Star have clearly mastered medical technology far superior to ours......"

It's something that wasn't planned.

Without saying a word, Company Commander Carnion took off his helmet, revealing a face pierced by two scars: "If we had known this had happened, we should have done it as soon as we found that psionic prostitute." ”

The Unforgivable should have taken Mirak, who was suspected of complicity with the fallen angels, alive and brought back to the boulder for interrogation—and if the circumstances did not allow him to be captured, they would have killed him as best they could.

However, due to the prestige of the Bullet Star and the apothecary's judgment of Mirak's injuries, the death pursuers, who believed that Mirak was certain to die, postponed the capture. Otherwise, they would have already taken action when they found Milak in the pyramid, and Alphonse would have been killed.

But now, things have changed.

Milak came back to life, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Fortunately, Company Commander Cargnon thought that he might be able to find a way to bring Milak back to the boulder for interrogation, asking about the location of the fallen angel and the secret of his arrival with the last remaining veteran of the Flame of Repentance.

The bad thing is that he can't be sure that he can take Milak away from the Order of Truth.

With a heavy heart, Company Commander Cargnon led 21 elite escorts to the temporary shelter set up by the preachers and made his intentions straightforward:

The Flame of Repentance is a subgroup of the Dark Angels, and as a brotherhood, they have the obligation and the right to take Milak away, whether it is an interrogation or a trial, it is a domestic matter between the children of Lane.

Alphonse was a bit of a dilemma.

The Starbearer is a very delicate existence in the Empire, he has given a lot of help to the Far Eastern Frontier, but he has always been outside of various political affairs, and has never really integrated into the Human Empire.

The Imperial side has always been properly vigilant against the Bulleters and those who follow them.

And for the Death Chasers, the Astarte Warband belonging to the Empire, to take Mirak is more justified than the "external force" of the Order of Truth.

Intellectually, Alphonse knew that it would be more appropriate to hand over Milak to Company Commander Cargnyon, but emotionally, he was able to vaguely foretell through his psionic powers that if he agreed at this moment, Milak would most likely die.

"I don't advocate bringing personal feelings into a formal job." Behind him, the head of research said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "But you're lucky, Alphons, that your personal inclinations happen to coincide with our goals this time. ”

Alphonse immediately understood his hint.

"Yes, Mirak's sudden disappearance has something to do with the emergence of this catacombs, and he probably knows something about this awakened space necromantic dynasty......"

They needed the information that Milak had.

"That said, I don't want you to bring personal feelings into your work. There's no next time. ”

The scientific research director came to the company commander of Cargnon and shook his head, "I'm very sorry, but we can't hand him over to you for the time being, the injury of the commander of the Milak war group is too serious, and he needs further treatment." Please allow us some time to take him away at any time when his injuries are fully stabilized. ”

By that time, they had already dug up the information they needed from Milak's brain.

But why didn't Company Commander Cargnon know the tricks? On the contrary, this is what they are afraid of.

"I don't think I made it clear what we meant, Your Excellency, we need to take the Milak Warband Commander away - immediately." Company Commander Cargnon emphasized.

"Even that would have endangered his life?" The head of research frowned.

"Even if it's life-threatening, Your Excellency." Company Commander Cargnon once again stressed: "We cannot delay any longer. ”

"In that case, I beg my pardon for not being able to give an affirmative answer." The Head of Research shook his head, "This goes against our long-standing code of conduct, and it's not in the interests of our leaders, so, I'm sorry, please go back-"

Before the scientific director could finish speaking, a power sword wrapped around the decomposition force field pierced his chest.

The 21 elite guards on the sidelines burst into the makeshift shelter in full gear, their guns pulling the trigger on everyone inside.

The conflict was only brief-lived, and the makeshift shelter consisted only of mortal doctors and a handful of preachers, including Alphonse, except for Milak lying in a survival pod.

Modified by an integrated prosthetic body, they have the true physiological speed of reaction speed given by quantum neural connections and superhuman bodies, and they can still survive the firepower of the elite team of Death Stalkers in such a small space.

But as a mortal head of scientific research and a medical staff at the life support pod, the only fate in the face of Astarte's massacre was death.

In just an instant, the spilled blood and scattered internal organs stained the entire sanctuary, and the heavy smell of blood mixed with stomach acid and the smell of burnt flesh became an indescribably strange smell, disgusting.

Alphonse leaned against the side of the survival pod, pressing his hands on the wound on his left shoulder, gasping for air.

- The space in the makeshift shelter is so small that even with his physiological speed and agility, he can barely protect his core organs from being destroyed under such dense firepower.

As for the less important limbs and shoulder blades, there is no time to take care of them, so they can only be injured.
