Chapter 24 Arrival
The gray-black clouds are still shrouding in the sky, and the heavy rain immerses the whole world in water. There is water in the sky and water on the ground.
In the sky, the lead-gray cumulonimbus clouds seemed to have no end, and the soil of the whole world turned into mud ponds and swamps in this sudden and long rain for months.
Unlike clouds that cannot see the end in the mortal field of vision, if you can escape the gravity of the earth and observe the planet from an orbital perspective.
You will find that these invisible clouds are ultimately part of the cantilever that forms a huge vortex cloud.
And this huge vortex typhoon group is the initiator of this heavy rain.
At present, on the cantilever on the side of this huge vortex covering hundreds of kilometers nearby, four inconspicuous "meteors" pulled down the white smoke that was evaporated by the rain.
"How much height is there?" Calvin asked Gavins in the communicator that the Terminator brought.
“8500-8000-7500…it’s still landing!”
"Find a high point! The view below is not good!" Calvin said to Gavins.
"Received! Track correction, others follow!" Gavins said in the communication channel, and activated the rocket jet device in the airdrop cabin to start the secondary orbit correction.
From the perspective of the sky, four airdrop pods ejected white wakes in almost no order, forming an equilateral triangle formation with Calvin's cabin as the core, and began the last adjustment before landing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Four heavy airdrop pods carrying the gray knights landed on a slightly higher flat ground 10 kilometers away from the nest.
There is still a long distance from the nest here, but this is the operation limit for them to adjust the trajectory again after penetrating the edge of the cloud layer, and to close the distance between them as much as possible.
With the start of the air pressure valve, the hatch door was quickly lowered. The gray knights led by Calvin also quickly conducted alert investigations around.
Calvin also opened the hatch door and lifted the big sword in his hand and walked out of the cabin.
Against the dark background, his armor did not show any dimness. The force field shields on both sides of his shoulders had been automatically turned on, allowing rain to bypass his head. The golden halo of steel halo on the holy scripture frame above the energy backpack was reflected in the silver light of the blue psychic magic ring on his head.
Such a sacred scene made the eyes of the gray knights around him swept over and were even more excited. Especially the Terminators who knew Calvin's identity were thanking the Emperor for his generosity and kindness.
In this battlefield without outsiders, composed of the gray knights alone, if the enemy had not been seen, these emotional terminators would have wanted to shout out the battle cry that had been brewing for a long time:
"For the Emperor! With the Holy Lord of Titans!"
Calvin could detect the emotional fluctuations of these Terminators, but he was not sure about the reason.
At this time, he was looking at the screen on his left arm armor and checking his position, while observing the surrounding terrain characteristics and the information on the screen with his own light.
"Here, um, here, um, it's worth..."
Gavins and Tarik stood on both sides of him to guard him, and waited for his orders.
The two captains of the two interceptors' team not far away also left their formation after arranging the alert mission and walked towards Calvin.
Calvin did not ask them to wait any longer. After confirming his position, he quickly picked out a path that seemed to be the most dangerous to defend from the nearest route.
He raised his voice slightly to attract the sight of the two Paladins standing around him and the newly arrived captain of the Interceptor:
"Here, 3 kilometers further ahead, is the suburbs of Chaodu. There is Chaodu's own small agricultural area, so we go in from here. And here, next to us is the nearby surface residential site, so let's be careful..."
Before he finished speaking, the footsteps coming from the woodland in the distance and the alert reminder of the Gray Knight in charge of this direction made Calvin look up and look in that direction:
At the end of the sight, about 500 meters away through these black dead trees without branches and leaves. A group of at least hundreds of rotten corpses who could barely see the human form were driven by some stitching monsters of larger corpses and walked towards the gray knights.
Calvin just finished speaking. He looked at these unexpected uninvited guests, put down his left arm, lifted the big sword inserted on the ground and shook slightly. The water-blue spiritual energy with silver light followed the spiritual energy path of the sword spine and ignited the entire sword body.
Looking at these corrupt corpses that were contaminated, imprisoned in their rotten bodies and unable to be liberated after death, Calvin said softly:
"Well, let's do this first, we have work to do."
With Calvin's words, the Grey Knights efficiently followed the previous combat formations. They silently distinguished according to their functions and stood in place to prepare for this encounter.
Unlike the situation that is about to break out here, in the towering nest capital in the distance, in the auditorium on the top floor, there is another absurd and sad scene.
In the same dark environment, a huge figure that was no different from before was standing on his head, wandering in pain in the hall of the chapel.
This monster whose predecessor was named Hailan and whose identity was the governor of the Empire was trapped in his memories and could not be liberated. His consciousness, which was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, made him unable to control himself at all.
And the pain brought by his memories when he wakes up makes him scream in anger: "Son of Maliciousness...Son of Maliciousness!Son of Maliciousness!!!"
He swung the copper pillar in his hand and knocked away the body of a lying Astart warrior on the back wall of the auditorium.
Unable to relieve his hatred, he chased after him with staggering footsteps, grabbed the heavy lamppost with his angrily hands, and smashed the dark yellow power armor on the body of the already lost corpse on the ground.
"This time is for my comrades-in-arms; this time is for my relatives and friends; this time is for the people of the upper class; this time is for the workers of the lower class..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..." In the open hall, the sound of the collision between the heavy lamp posts and the ceramic steel constantly echoed. The corresponding one was the quietness of the entire room, the entire auditorium and even the entire nest.
In contrast to the dead silence represented by absolute silence, in the room behind the auditorium, a tall shrub that shouldn't have existed was growing lushly in this room.
On the emerald green branches and leaves, the fine lines and tiny hairs prove its health. The pink flowers at the top and the green branches below seem to have just condensed dew.
It is so vibrant and beautiful when shining on the light source at the top of the room.
