Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 72 Secret Weapon

"The pill!" He felt his heart suddenly clench, but a golden light forced Angron's attack back.

Then a tremendous force came from his waist, and he was lifted into the air and flew into the distance.

It turned out that Manus had forced Angron back by wielding the Emperor's Sword. Then, with a kick, he sent Angron flying off the battlefield.

He felt like cursing in mid-air. With no foothold in his body, he struggled to straighten his back, trying to find a stable landing position.

But the next moment, a roaring sound came from behind him, growing louder as it approached. Then he felt a tremendous force grab his collar, and he was pulled away like a kite being lifted up.

All that remained was his startled cry, carried everywhere by the chaotic air: "Waa... ouch—"

It turned out that Gers, riding on his flying steed, had accurately caught him and led him away from the battlefield.

The sonic boom generated by the flying dragon at Mach 10 left a noise that made even the demons cover their ears across the entire battlefield.

"Brother, where are you taking me?" Quan Tiehua turned his head to ask, but the scene he saw stunned him.

There was a thick rope, one end of which was connected to Gers's hand, and the other end was connected to his armor!
"The transport plane is here, get out of here quickly!" Gels didn't say much and quickly explained the situation to Quan Tiehua.

It turns out that after launching an orbital attack, the ships spun out of the Death Ghost Legion decided that the planet was beyond saving. So they sent a message to all the remaining members of the Seraphim and Man-Eating Shark Legions on the ground, saying, "Retreat immediately! We don't need this planet anymore! Lead the target to retreat!" Although they called for reinforcements, it didn't mean that follow-up support would arrive immediately.

And clearly, after this battle, everyone present knew who the target was!

Moreover, even if we win in the end, this planet, or possibly several surrounding star systems, will most likely become unusable!
Of course, there's a small chance it might be used as a mining star!
So after discussing it for a long time, the Death Ghosts, not wanting to lose their own assets but also not wanting to disobey the orders given by the Chapter Leader and the Emperor, came up with a terrible idea!

Bring out their most treasured stock!

A priceless treasure unknown even to the Inquisition and the High Lords of the Empire!

Extermination Order!
Ah, that's right, it's that extermination weapon that can wipe out all life on an entire planet with just one shot!
So how did the Death Ghost Chapter come to possess Extinction Order weapons? Well, nobody can say for sure, although the regulations for using Extinction Order weapons stipulate that only the Astragalus Army, Inquisitors, and the Astartes high command can use them.

However, a very small number of Astartes chapters are able to legally possess extermination weapons.

But judging from the current situation, the Death Ghost Legion is clearly not among that small minority! Yet now, they have brought out the Extinction Order weapon!
If the Inquisition were to witness this scene, they would be furious. How could a warband, wavering between loyalty and chaos, possess an extermination warrant?
There must have been Imperial insects secretly reselling them to these dangerous chapters!
That's right, it must be! They definitely can't be insects!
As for the Empire's accountability afterward, at worst, Kesarol can take the blame later, saying, "I'm a high-ranking official in Astartes! Tell me, am I in compliance with the rules?"

What? You mean only someone of the rank of High Marshal Helblecht of the Black Templar can give such orders?

Bullshit, I don't know!
Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me if my position is that of a high-ranking member of this battle group.
And you're telling me our chapter isn't the Astartes Chapter? (Sound of a bomb gun being cocked!)

Quan Tiehua was completely stunned, staring at wave after wave of orbital strikes in the sky. He then looked at the densely packed demons surrounding him.

Suddenly I feel like the Death Ghost Chapter might have come up with a great idea!

To be honest, this planet is truly beyond saving. It's been polluted to this state by chaos!
And I heard they're calling in reinforcements, and they're still on their way. What, are they trying to pull off a Calabash Brothers rescue Grandpa?
There are just four Chaos Primarchs standing here, Guilliman... never mind! The Regent's one-on-one fighting ability is indeed lacking. If the Lion King and the Khan, who are still wandering around, don't come over, who the hell can beat him?
Even I... could only fight them to a standstill!
Moreover, not to mention that after the subsequent withdrawal, the enemy's pursuing forces will likely affect several more worlds.

So if you can evacuate now, you should do so as soon as possible.

With a swift turn, Quan Tiehua was caught off guard and, like a whip, came face-to-face with the group of demons.

"you……!"

Before he could even speak, he, who was practically chosen by God, smashed these demons to pieces.

Hearing the sound, Gers turned around and said apologetically, "Brother, I'm sorry! We were going too fast; this turn was really hard to control!"

As he spoke, the car's speed gradually decreased! Quan Tiehua, who was not prepared, was pulled into the ground by the rebound force generated by the sudden loosening of the rope!

He fell flat on his face!
Even the Dark Blade was thrown away, and the moment the Dark Blade was thrown away, the golden light on his body suddenly surged, as if it had come to life, and directly pressed down on the red light and smashed it!
Quan Tiehua slowly stood up, and the pharmacists around him, their bodies bulging, came to his side and quickly gave him basic first aid and medical treatment.

Even Quilstein, who was all bulging, took out his gene seed extractor and stared at it longingly!

Drenthe, bulging all over, quickly came to his side carrying the Emperor's Holy Word, and danced around and chanted like a charlatan!

Quan Tiehua was utterly speechless upon seeing this! But then, as if remembering something, he quickly turned his head to look around and asked, "Where's the commander?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Quan Tiehua inwardly thought, "This is bad!" However, Gers turned to the side and pointed towards the pile of items.

Following the direction of the finger, one could see that Vals was currently binding the unconscious, missing lower half of the commander tightly.

Meanwhile, the Fiery Angels and Astartes of the Shark Legion around him were also helping to take all sorts of items out of the container and load them onto their bodies.

He could even see the Astartes of the Shark Legion, who weren't wearing helmets, grinning and chuckling as they put on their helmets!
This made him furious!

"The commander won't die, but his promotion to Dreadnought is practically a done deal!" Quelstein, seeing his expression and realizing he had nothing else to do, decided to act as the commentator. "But thankfully, we have Saint-class Dreadnoughts! Utilizing new technology, the commander shouldn't suffer like those older Dreadnoughts! In other words, our commander can remain active alongside us. It's just that he's been given a huge iron shell!"

woohoo-

Just then, the roar of an engine came from the sky!

Dozens of Thunderhawk gunships slowly landed and opened their rear hatches. There were even a few Stormbirds among them!
This extravagant gesture truly left the impoverished Seraphic Angels speechless.

Of course, there were definitely more than just the Death Ghost Chapter with so many transport ships. The Manhunter Chapter also sent some to provide support.
