Chapter 264: Empty
After making a plan to escape, the Heavenly Punishment Gang soon went into action.
However, their actions did not escape the eyes of the Sun Gang.
Through the various surveillance devices scattered throughout the city and the overall movements of the enemy, Kirk was able to guess the target of their attack.
A group of treacherous scum, in order to be able to deal a blow to the Sun Star, did not hesitate to do this.
If Kirk had recovered from the crisis, he swore he would clean up the bunch.
"What should we do, my lord?" The cultist's subordinate next to him asked, "Although the Gene Seed Bank has sent a large number of troops to garrison it, there is still a possibility that it will be conquered by the enemy. โ
"Leave them alone." Kirk waved his hand at this, and asked instead, "What about the other third of their family?" โ
"The enemy has divided a small force and moved in the direction of Port Seven, presumably with the aim of capturing the four warships docked there, and the commander of that force is the third-in-command of the Heavenly Punishment Gang." The subordinate continued to report.
The correspondent on the side immediately cut out the surveillance video in front of him on the big screen.
In the footage, Yoris leads hundreds of his men in a bloody battle with the cultists of the Sun Star, who are completely unable to stop the enemy's advance.
"I see." Kirk nodded thoughtfully, and then said slowly, "I still want to run after spreading wild on my territoryโI will personally lead people to the port to stop them, and the situation here will be taken care of by you for the time being." โ
The Lord of the Sun has made an unexpected decision.
On such an important occasion and at such a critical time, the Chaos faction that worships power supremacy actually let a mortal take command.
This is almost the equivalent of him having already received the ticket to the promotion recipient.
The subordinate was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Thanks to your trust, Master Kirk, I will live up to your trust until you return." โ
The Chaos Lord only nodded slightly, and then walked out of the command post with his personal guards, and hurriedly began to march towards the seventh port.
On the other side, Ankarak and his Heavenly Punishment Gang continued to attack the defense line along the way.
Although the loss of heavy firepower vehicles caused a lot of trouble for their offensive, with a large number of Space Marines, they continued to make steady progress in the direction of the Gene Seed Bank.
As a place to store valuable treasures, the Gene Seed Bank is surrounded by a large number of armed men, crisscrossed by fortifications, layers of firing points, thick and tall walls of buildings, and tall guard towers scattered all around, solid as iron barrels - a tough bone to gnaw at a glance.
There will be a lot of brothers who will fall here.
If he had had time to plan for Ankarak, he would have been able to reduce a lot of casualties.
However, now, the big boss of the Heavenly Punishment War Gang has no choice but to forcibly attack it.
Under the cover of a wave of smoke grenades, they launched a charge towards the target.
On the opposite side, they were greeted by bullets and shells that were frantically spewed out from various firing points, and the intensity of the attack was as fierce as a storm.
The two sides, who had originally belonged to the same camp, fought fiercely, and the flowing blood stained the metal floor scarlet.
After a hard battle, the Heavenly Punishment Gang successfully entered the Gene Seed Bank at the cost of 200 casualties.
It's undoubtedly the cleanest place on the planet.
The white corridors, the sterile environment, and the lack of signs of corruption in the interior of the building, Geller has been shrouding them all year round.
The Chaos Believers who enter it will even have a feeling that they are not used to it, which is really too clean.
However, this phrase does not only refer to the hygiene of the gene seed bank, but also to its stockpile, which is empty, and the precious gene seeds inside have long been missing.
"This, how can this be?"
Seeing this scene, everyone in the Heavenly Punishment War Gang was blindsided for a while.
They burst into the room, checking back and forth in front of the shelves, unable to believe what was in front of them.
Empty, empty, all empty.
Sun Star is a glamorous business on the surface, but in fact it is an empty shell, with no two thousand genetic seeds at all, and Kirk is just drawing a pie for the others.
"That bastard Kirk, you actually gave me this!" Ankarak angrily slammed his fist on the shelf, "When I attacked the fortification just now, I noticed that although the defense here was complete, there was no Chaos Space Marine, and I thought it was because the battle situation was complicated and the other party had no time to deploy, and it was because there was actually nothing in it for a long time - what did he use us for, a tool to settle the account?" โ
If this news spreads, the eyes of the entire battlefield will be drawn to them.
Everyone knows that they robbed the gene seed bank, so it is natural to think that the gene seeds are in their hands, even though they are not actually harvesting anything.
The Heavenly Punishment Gang was speechless about this.
What awaits them behind them will inevitably be ruthless encirclement and suppression from all sides.
The hope of escaping the battlefield was once again dim, and the shadow of despair hung over them.
"Big brother and second brother, big brother and second brother!" Just then, Yoris's voice came from the communication channel.
Ankarak was very depressed and did not know how to answer to his brother on the other side.
The enemy had calculated them to death, and the plan was completely out of control.
What if Yoris managed to grab the ship?
Unable to divert attention from them, they are still doomed.
"I need support here." The voice continued to sound in the helmet, "That guy Kirk didn't plan to stay and resist at all, he wanted to run away with those genetic seeds, and now I'm intercepted at the port!" โ
The reason why news of the fall of the Red Pirates did not spread widely on the dark side of the empire is inseparable from the impact of Abaddon's intention to control the event.
Killiman's recovery was enough to annoy the Chaos side, and the fall of Blackheart Huron would take a serious toll on their morale.
And Kirk, as the speaker of the old industrial planet, has his own unique channels and knows a little about the inside story of the incident.
So from the moment Blackstone Fortress appeared, Kirk knew that the Sun Star was in trouble.
This was the reason why he hated the three Heavenly Punishment brothers so much - whether they were misunderstood or not, the foundation he had worked so hard to build would be ruined because of them.
At this moment, there are only two options in front of Kirk.
The first is to bring the whole family to resist the empire desperately, although it can inflict a lot of damage on the enemy, it also means that they will die because of it.
The second is to take as many family properties as possible and run away, and rely on those family properties as initial funds after escaping, looking for opportunities to make a comeback.
It wasn't a difficult choice, and Kirk decided to take the second option.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Of course, you can't run directly, in that case, the battle line will be instantly crushed by the enemy.
He had to put on a posture of desperate resistance, with generous rewards to mobilize everyone's emotions, let others entangle with the puppet emperor's lackeys, and he took the opportunity to let his cronies transfer important materials, and then quietly and secretly left after all this was completed.
It was only by mistake that the ship he used to run away was blocked by Yoris.
