Chapter 678 Doomsday Storm: Brothers at War
The huge gunfire echoed in the empty corridor of the church. It was the sound of heavy bombs whizzing through the air, followed by the collapse of debris. The gorgeous statue of the bishop collapsed, and Those who destroy it are those who are supposed to protect and accept his guidance.
After Sister Silence rushed out of the corridor, she hid behind the stone pillar with a quick step. She held the giant sword and looked outside at her crazy sisters, although she never regarded them as sisters, especially when they shot at her. .
At the other end of the corridor, the battle nuns of the State Church were striding forward. They were launching a fierce attack on this section. Explosive bombs and kinetic energy weapons were their mouthpieces. These nuns always recited scriptures, classics and The so-called holy training, but during the battle, it was unexpectedly quiet.
So much so that the members of the Defense Force who shouted to them had just stuck their heads out and were shot in the head before they could say a word. The Sisters of Silence dodged the bullets and roared loudly, "What are they doing?! They are crazy." Are you there? Why are you shooting at us?”
Sister Silence almost roared and asked, only in this way could the voice penetrate the noisy hall and be heard clearly by the commander of the defense force who was also here and tasked with guarding the saints with her.
And he did hear it, and responded with the same voice, "I don't know, they told my sentry at the gate that they were going to take away the saints. He informed me, but before I could respond, gunshots rang out. ”
The commander roared, lowering his head to avoid the explosive shells that shattered the bunker. The firepower of the Battle Sisters completely overwhelmed the defenders. The explosive shells were far better than the defenders' lasers in such a close firefight. They belonged to the Space Marines. weapons that only nuns can use among mortals.
Although they were raised by the state education, it was not to train them to be kind church maids. The mission of bringing spiritual comfort to mortals belongs to their kind sisters, and they who are more irritable and irritable are also He also received the mission of consolation, but it was just to use explosive bombs to send death consolation to the enemies of the church.
Has the Ecclesiarchy finally broken with Guilliman's men? Sister Silence didn't know, she only knew that she had a mission, and the left claw of the Emperor's Claw would never fail.
Sister Silence hid behind the stone pillar. After the defense forces were eliminated or retreated, she stepped forward from behind the stone pillar and struck away the muzzle of the Battle Sister behind her with a sword, and then cut her body with a sword.
Sister Silence is a more capable female warrior than Sister Battle. She was not raised in an Anglican church. She has never received any formal military training. All her combat qualities were taught to her by the Hive City. And this, Let her be even more forged into a powerful weapon.
Sister Silence dodged the bomb and rushed forward. She pierced Sister Battle's elbow as she prepared to shoot with her sword. She pulled it off with her backhand and then stepped forward and pierced her chest. Sister Silence grabbed the bomb. With his gun, he flicked his hand and shot the head of another nun at close range.
She moved forward again, charging and rolling to avoid the incoming bullets. She started from a half-crouched position but fired rapidly with one hand with the most precise movements. When the magazine was emptied, she broke the legs of several nuns.
When Sister Silence was about to throw away the bolter, there were rapid footsteps behind her, and the roar of the chain saw sounded at the same time. She shook her head suddenly, and fired several shots with the muzzle to completely empty the magazine. But the bullet was lucky, or unlucky, depending on whose perspective you looked at it.
Perhaps it was the emperor's favor, or more likely, the super powerful combat power. The Sister used the chain saw to deflect all the bolt bombs, and at the same time thrust out a sword to penetrate the bolt gun. The roaring chain saw came from The gun thrust out from the back and almost hit Sister Silence.
"What are you doing?" Sister Silence yelled, and at the same time she pulled away from her. She raised her power sword. The head nun in front of her also tightened her grip on the chain sword, and spoke in a firm and unquestionable tone, " The Emperor has a destiny, and we must take away the saints. If you block the way, you must pay for your crime of hindering the Emperor's will."
"Are you crazy? The Emperor asked you to come here to kill his own people?!" Sister Silence shouted in disbelief, motioning to the bleeding battlefield around her. The Battle Sisters and the officers and soldiers of the Defense Force were fighting madly in the church. The ammunition that should be fired at Chaos is now being fired at our own people.
"This is the Emperor's will, and his orders must be carried out!" The Grand Mother Sister was unreasonable and rushed to kill her with great fanaticism. She gripped the chain sword tightly, rushed towards the Sister of Silence and killed her with a leap. Sister Silence showed no sign of weakness and faced him with a backhand sword. The collision between the chain saw and the power sword shattered the relief on the side.
"Put down your weapons! Listen, everyone, we will save the saints! Lord Guilliman needs us. This is the emperor's will!" On the war-torn battlefield, Father Mathieu stood at the center of the battlefield without fear. In the center, he warned the defenders in a loud voice, and what he said really shook the defenders.
After all, they were opening fire on their own people. Not long ago, they were comrades fighting side by side to defend against the invaders, but now, they were fighting a civil war as brothers.
"Keep firing! Lord Guilliman ordered that no one can take that girl away, then this is an order! Except for the orders of Lord Guilliman himself, the rest are bullshit!" The shout of Sister Silence interrupted all In the fantasy, the defense forces woke up and continued to fire. The laser beams were fired at the battle sisters one by one, and they exploded bombs in response.
The battle between the two sides became more and more brutal. As the sisters advanced and got closer to the detention room, the defense forces had no room to retreat, not only because the order required them to defend it, but also because the detention room was in the corner of the church, and there was no way to retreat except the wall.
Close-range combat is often accompanied by the most brutal tactics. Lasers and explosives echoed each other at close range, the cold light of chainsaws and bayonets flashed with each other, and shouts of killing were awakened along with screams. The sisters and the defense forces fought hand-to-hand, chainsaws tore skulls, and bayonets pierced abdomens.
Blood dyed the white marble red, and the two sides fought desperately in a red ocean. If either side chose to retreat and compromise, then this civil war that might not have existed at all would be ended in an instant, but no, no one retreated. One side was an order, and the other side was the Emperor's mission. There was no possibility of retreating at all.
Sister Silent and the Head Sister, two female warriors that the Empire should be proud of, were fighting in the center of the hall. Around them were nuns and guards who were fighting each other selflessly. Finally, one person couldn't stand it anymore.
Father Mathieu jumped to a high place, raised his arms and pleaded with everyone in the hall, "In the name of the Emperor, stop! The Emperor's daughters and sons should not kill each other!"
"Go and talk to your fellow cannibalistic state church bastards! Guess what, Father? I am a girl who came from a place where my family was broken up by the state church! You want me to believe in your bullshit doctrine? Go eat shit!" Sister Silent cursed loudly in a low-nest, rough accent, the last syllable was particularly loud, she slashed the Head Sister with a sword, grabbed the gun on the ground Pointing at the priest, "This is a rebellion, and I know without thinking that it was instigated by you, a religious lunatic! You want me to lay down my arms? I tell you it's impossible! Lord Guilliman ordered me to stay here, and I can't go there unless I die!"
"Let the blood stain this place red! You religious lunatics! Use your blood!" Sister Silent roared angrily. She had no fear or fear of the priest shooting, because she had done it before, in order to stop the priest from raping her when she was a child. She knew the face of the state religion, and their full of morality and justice were all bullshit.
This is the biggest problem between the state religion and the Emperor himself. Many priests and churches of the state religion have shown and shown to the people an image and behavior that is completely different from the Emperor himself, and you tell people that this is the Emperor's agent? How can you question why someone would doubt or even "betray" the Emperor?
Lord Guilliman, the Marshal gave himself a new life, they saved himself from the hive, then she would do anything for them, and she would never fail.
Mathieu looked at the gun pointed at him sadly, his heart was broken, he didn't want to see the children of the empire fighting each other, and he didn't want to fire at them, but if this was the will of the Emperor, his order must be carried out, take the Saint away, save Guilliman and the real Emperor, that's all.
But just before Mathieu raised the gun, Sister Silence flew out and hit the wall, she fell to the ground unconscious in the blink of an eye, the guards and nuns on both sides turned their heads and saw the living saint who tore open the door from the confinement room and walked out, Vito came out.
He walked barefoot on the bloody water, looking down at the scene of fratricide around him like a sad saint, "Enough, everyone put down your weapons, the priest is right, it's enough, the blood of the children of the empire has been shed enough."
"She... died?" The elder sister asked in surprise. Although she fought with the Sister of Silence and swung her sword to kill her, in her heart, she never regarded her as an outsider. She was her sister, and she didn't want her to die like this and return to the throne in this way.
"No, she just fainted, I didn't hate her." Vito shook his head. He usually didn't use cruel hands on women, especially his own men.
Of course, he could choose to stand up and persuade the Sister of Silence to end the conflict, but according to his understanding of these loyal but stubborn female warriors, the time spent persuading her would increase the number of deaths. She would not sit down and chat with you while drinking tea like a real little girl.
So yes, Vito chose the simplest and most efficient way to solve the problem as always, and he couldn't expose himself yet. He hadn't seen him yet, and conveyed the decision that would determine the fate of the entire galaxy and even the entire universe, so he could only wrong the loyal Sister of Silence.
Vito raised his head, and everyone in front of him stopped fighting. They looked up at the saint, perhaps out of deterrence, or out of piety from the heart, but no matter how fiercely they had just fought each other, at this moment, in that holy look, all the resentment disappeared.
"Guilliman is in trouble. The Emperor's son needs us. Who will escort me?" Vito asked without suspense. He knew the answer. There was only one answer to this question.
All the guns in the hall were raised, and the bombs, lasers, chainsaws and power were indistinguishable. All the weapons that were fighting just now were under one will and one voice, waiting for that equally simple order.
They all knew what the order was, and they didn't need to listen, but they were still waiting to listen.
"The blood of the empire's children should not be shed in a place like this. Now, follow me and use your blood to write a magnificent career. The future of the empire is waiting for all of you."
