Chapter 181: No Choice
Corrado mocked Moore's victory, mocking his stupidity and ignorance, his malicious voice hysterical and constantly echoing through the command post.
Everyone in the room watched him silently, as if they were deeply shocked by the terrible facts he presented, and for a moment they forgot how to speak.
After a long time, it was not until Corrado's activities exceeded the limits of his physical strength and he became out of breath that he gradually settled down.
After intense emotional catharsis, people will always feel a little lost in their hearts.
Then he noticed that everything around him was eerily silent.
The greenskins aside, those stupid beasts can't understand something overly complicated.
They just looked at the performance art of the Bearer, wondering if this bad can was in a state of brain madness for ten days a month, just like their nerves.
The dark angel in front of him was also indifferent, without saying a word, and did not show the nervousness, anxiety, and anger he imagined.
A bad feeling gradually welled up in Corrado's mind, and a terrible conjecture was becoming clearer in his mind.
"Gone?" Moore tried to ask.
Two words came out, and Corrado's heart sank.
His mind, which was carried away by anger, suddenly calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.
"You...... You're fooling me! ”
The High Priest's eyes, which had finally reacted, widened his eyes, and his distorted face was full of incredulity.
"Nonsense, if it weren't for this, you thought I would have been fooling around with you for so long?"
Moore waved his hand and replied lightly.
"It is obviously unreasonable that there is no sound on the side of your speakers when the maelstrom has been turned upside down. Originally, we didn't know what you guys were doing, and they were secretly fixing these things for a long time. ”
Fortunately, it was provoked for him, otherwise it would have been a bit dangerous.
"You...... Even if you do, your defeat is already doomed! The High Priest shouted.
"Isn't that ritual of yours not yet complete, and we can just destroy it." Moore reminded.
"But we're fully prepared, you have no chance of winning." Corrado pretended to be calm.
"Is it true that we don't have a chance, or is your impulse giving us a chance?" Moore stared at the Whisperer in front of him and said with a smile, "For the sake of a momentary rapidity, and to reveal your strategic intentions, I think the dark gods you worship will definitely praise this move." ”
"You...... You ......"
Realizing that he had caused a catastrophe, Corrado was furious, and a mouthful of old blood gushed out, and the double blow of physical and mental blow made him almost faint.
Seeing that he could no longer extract more information, Moore no longer showed mercy to the Whisperer Priest.
He first briefly read out the crimes of the person in front of him, as if he were a judgment.
Although Corrado is furious and refuses to admit his guilt, there is little way to resist.
Then he swung his long sword and directly cut off the opponent's head.
"Do you hear that, jackals, they are performing their rituals inside the temple?"
After dealing with the High Priest, Moore continued to speak into the communicator.
"I heard, the lion, the temple of the Whisperer has been conquered quite a bit, and we already have the ability to strike at the core."
Lucas's voice came.
"Quickly gather the elite forces, we must take it as soon as possible, even if we can't interrupt the ceremony, as long as we can drag that guy named Erebus here, this war will be our victory."
With all the explosives planted, Moore led the remaining Greenskins toward the command room, and in five minutes, the low-Earth orbit defense platform would be a pile of trash in space.
"I'm doing it, lion, don't be in too much of a hurry." Lucas responded.
Despite the success of the operation, Moore still felt uneasy.
It's just because of the guy named Erebus that Pastor of the Bearers mentioned earlier.
That guy Wei Mu once highlighted to Mohr and was a very dangerous character.
His danger lies not in strength or intellect, or in any other outstanding talent, but in his utterly inferior character.
To achieve the goal, such a scumbag can do anything without hesitation.
And when his own interests are at risk, he can decisively let go of everything and slip away.
If Erebus is just an ordinary scumbag, then that's all, but he is a scumbag belonging to the four gods, a convenient tool of the chaos side.
Moore would never allow such a guy to get close to Vimu, so he would do everything he could in the next battle.
……
On the other side, O'Sullivan, who is a dark apostle, is sitting in the command room of the First Temple, and he is also distressed by the battle situation in front of him.
A simple Greenskin offensive is not tricky, after all, the Whisperers who are Chaos Space Marines have spent a long time, and the battles that have taken place with the Greenskins have been thousands of times, at least a thousand times, and they have long been accustomed to their routines.
But there are people who understand military affairs to teach Greenskins how to fight, and Greenskins are willing to follow the orders of those people, which makes them very uncomfortable.
The brainless man is quite scary, because brute force will be used in the right place.
The Temple of the Whisperer is falling, and the psionic matrix on Galmek is weakened as a result.
Not to mention that there is also a very mocking video, which caught the speakers off guard and demoralized.
In order to stop those savage green-skinned aliens, O'Sullivan has used all the combat power in his hands, even the crazy people locked in the depths of the arsenal, and the demon engines and hellbeasts that even cut down their own people once they run it.
Those twisted monsters fought fiercely and powerfully, and did cause a lot of damage to the Greenskin troops.
But the battle took place in the home of their Bearers, and the madmen never distinguished any target.
In the past, when Chaos went to fight others, throwing these madmen into the enemy's territory became a headache for the enemy.
Fortunately, even if the greenskins in an area are successfully repulsed, the Demon Engine and Hellbeast that have lost their target will start smashing their nearby teammates and tearing down their own buildings.
To regain control of it, a large number of high-ranking priests are needed.
The Whisperers are at the bottom of the ranks of Space Marines, but their knowledge of demons is second to none.
And summoning their most important ally, the demon army, also requires the help of a high-ranking priest, as well as a large number of souls as sacrifices.
It's just that a large number of high-ranking priests and soul sacrifices were recruited by Erebus and used in the operation of dark rituals, leaving O'Sullivan with very few available resources.
You don't have a lot of hole cards in your hand, so you have to make trade-offs.
And Erebus, as the veteran of the Bearers, has no disobedience to his orders.
So O'Sullivan actually has no choice.
The Dark Apostle looked at the sand table in front of him, and finally sighed and ordered his subordinates.
"Let the elite troops everywhere withdraw, and we will defend the First Temple."
