Chapter 263: The Gift
The battle continues.
The weepers were arranged by Dante to rest in a safe place.
Foros and the company commanders of the Weepers followed Dante to the council chamber.
Entering the council chamber, Dante walked to the throne and sat down, looking tired, his heavy, muffled breathing coming from under the golden mask.
Foros first saluted Dante, then looked around the council chamber and saw many high-ranking members of the Mother Order and the generals of the Astral Army.
Mephistopheleston, the chief think tank curator of the Holy Blood Angels, Kobro, the high-ranking Holy Blood priest, and Duster, the general of the Astral Army, a high-ranking battle nun.
At this time, the door opened, and the commander of the Holy Blood Angel Company, Karan, and the other wargroup leaders came.
Foros looked around and fixed his gaze on Duster's body, and he noticed that the man's eyes were purple.
"Thank you for coming to support the home planet." Dante's voice was thick and vicissitudes, trembling slightly, which made Foros even more sure that he was injured.
"This is the ...... it should be"
"Are you from Cadia?"
Foros was just about to respond to Dante's thanks, but Duste on the side couldn't help but interject.
Foros looked at Duster.
The general of the Astral Army was in a hurry.
"Yes." Foros nodded.
"What's going on with Cadia now?" Dusit asked anxiously.
Foros said calmly: "Kadia is still standing. ”
"Ah...... Praise the Throne...... Praise the Divine Emperor......" Duster let out a long breath, and the stone hanging in his heart fell.
Duster is a native of Cadia, and while he is leading the Astral Army to defend in Hades, there is a war going on on on the Cadia side.
Due to the unclear communication of the stars, Dust had no idea what was going on over there, only that Cadia was being attacked by the Chaos fleet, and that the Cadia fleet had been annihilated, and the mainland was in danger.
"I went to Hades." Foros looked at Dante, "...... there"
"It's already falling." Dante said.
Foross knew of course that Hades had fallen, but he wanted to know how it had fallen and why the oceans on his hometown of Hades-3 had disappeared.
Dante could see what Foros was thinking, and he slowly explained what had happened so far.
Before Baal was attacked, Hades was the battlefield.
The hive fleet emerged from the Shield of Radiance, frozen, and the Imperial fleet guarding Hades approached the frozen creature warships, ready to kill them.
At this time, all the biological warships recovered, and the navy was annihilated in one fell swoop.
Dusit and the nuns defend against the landing swarm, but ultimately fail and the nun is assassinated by a Ducat.
The war in Hades awakens an army of necromancers in space, who work with humans to take on the swarms, detonating the system's solar energy harvesting devices through a series of battles, unleashing shockwaves that reach each planet.
But the Hades system still didn't hold on.
At this, Dante paused for two seconds and continued with a heavy heart: "I can only focus on guarding Barr. In order to create a quarantine zone where the swarm could not feed, I ordered the fleet to enforce an extinction order on the planets in the swarm's path. ”
Cripman tactics – the term that comes to Folos' mind.
This is a tactic created by Kripman, the inquisitor who fought against the swarm, to impose an extinction order on the planets in the swarm's path, creating a quarantine zone where the swarm cannot obtain biomass.
But if this tactic is successful, the swarm should change direction, so why is Barr still attacked?
"The swarm is still coming, and they'd rather cross the barrier than attack." Dante's tone revealed exhaustion and helplessness, "It's like they're here to seek revenge." ”
"So I'm sure the swarm isn't a bunch of creatures driven by hunger instincts, there must be something in command of them, and that this thing is angry that we've thwarted every attack it has foiled, and it's coming for revenge." Mephiston, the chief think tank curator on the side, took over the conversation.
After listening to the words of the two, Foros nodded silently.
"What happened to Kadiana?" Mephiston suddenly asked, "The eye of fear has shrunk, hasn't it?" ”
Foros nodded: "The Blackstone Obelisk has been activated, and the psionic energy in the galaxy has been contained...... There was a traitor named Typhons, whose flesh was rotting but able to move normally, and who was rendered defenseless when the Blackstone Obelisk was opened. ”
"Sure enough." Mephiston nodded thoughtfully, recalling an incident that had happened earlier.
Baal is not just facing the swarms, but also the demons of the Sadism.
A sadomasochistic demon named Kabanha tries to penetrate the subspace into the real universe, and Mephistopheleston and all the think tanks try to thwart it.
When Kabanha was about to descend into reality, the structure of the real universe seemed to be reinforced, or rather, the psionic energy "ebbed", and Kabanha did not come out anyway.
As Mephiston pondered, Foros observed Dante and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Dante didn't answer immediately, and took off his mask after gasping for breath.
The first time Foros saw Dante himself, it was not what he had imagined.
Behind the mask was not a spirited man, but an old man with gray hair and an old face, his eyes were resolute and strong, but he was still affected by his body and looked a little weak.
"I'm hurt." Dante rested his mask on his knees and leaned his back against the throne, "A Licater came out of the underground of the fortress to destroy the Void Shield, and I went a step too late. ”
Dante became agitated as he spoke, and an angry look appeared on his face.
"Where the bugs come out are the containers where the recruits are, and the recruits are killed by the bugs before they even start their path to glory."
"I was also wounded in the fighting."
Listening to these words, Foros bowed his head in silent mourning for the recruits.
Recruits don't just start out alive, they have to stay in the container for a while.
The new bloodline of the Holy Blood Angel may not have opened its eyes yet, or it may not know what is happening, and it may be dragged away by the bugs and turned into biomass...... This incident made Fors angry.
"Damn bed bugs." Dante's hand gripped the armrest of the throne tightly, "The place in the Hades galaxy where anti-radiation drugs are produced has fallen, and even if we win this war, we will not be able to restore Hades to its original state." ”
Hearing this, Foros felt that Dante was even a little optimistic.
The people of the Scarlet Scar Sector are heavily dependent on anti-radiation drugs, and the origin of the drugs has been destroyed, not only in the Hades system, but also in the entire sector, whether it has fallen or not, it will not be able to continue to maintain in the future.
Mortals without anti-radiation drugs are bound to die, sooner or later.
"Can I ask you to join the defense plan?" Dante asked.
The leader of the Holy Blood Angel War was as humble and kind as rumored, and even used the word please.
"It's your duty to guard Barr." Foros nodded, and then said something else, "I didn't come directly from Cadia, I went to the Tyrone Star District before I came, and brought some gifts from the Lord of Tyrone. ”
When she heard about the Lord of Tyrone, the new nun was not very good-looking, because she had heard of this sector and knew that they were a group of heretics.
"It can be seen that the Lord of Tyrone is very generous to you." Dante glanced at Foros' armor, "What's his gift?" ”
Foros slowly raised his hand and raised three fingers: "Enough to arm the Terminator armor of three full warbands and the matching weapons and equipment." ”
