Chapter 823, Fallen Angel

Chapter 823, Fallen Angel
"How exciting... Wow, there is such a thing as the Second Empire? These sons of God are really awesome..."

"Half of the entire legion actually sided with the traitors and ambushed the legion led by the Son of God on the home planet?"

"They fought a civil war... Oh, they blew up their own home planet, didn't they? They also blew up their own Son of God?"

"So the famous megalithic mobile fortress monastery of the Angels of Death is not a captured asteroid as they claimed, but simply the remains of their home planet after it was destroyed?"

"This legion is really fun... No, it's really tragic."

……

Gu Hang stood there and sighed for a long time.

From the information he saw at this moment, the secret of the Death Legion was really big.

At the same time, he had a strong sense of confusion in his heart.

On the one hand, he felt that the history of the Angels of Death was truly "exciting", no wonder they kept it a secret and would never let anyone know. If these things were exposed, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Chapter.

On the other hand, he also felt that the Angel of Death's actions in hunting down the Fallen Angels and blocking information were a bit too crazy.

outrageous.

And what should we do next?

Gu Hang got the information he wanted, but to be honest, this news was a little beyond his expectations, so much so that he felt it was difficult to use.

Take this information and trade with the Death Angels? Given their level of madness, Gu Hang doubted whether there was room for a deal.

If you are not careful, you will provoke a powerful enemy.

If he pretended to be completely unaware of this, the Angel of Death would still be suspicious of Gu Hang. From Milorila's soul, Gu Hang could learn that the Unforgotten Oath had always had a secret contact with their parent group, the Angel of Death.

Even when the corps was split into thousand-man warbands, the Angels of Death seemed to have followed the plan obediently, but the secret society culture that had been formed within their corps 10,000 years ago was always preserved. Most of the senior members of the Angels of Death belonged to an organization called the 'Inner Circle'.

The mother group of the Angels of Death, the Supreme Grand Master Organgron, can mobilize most of the sub-groups through this "inner ring".

Of course, there must be another inner ring within this inner ring. Gu Hang felt that was inevitable.

Keeping small secrets and forming small groups may be something that is engraved in their souls. Even people like Alvin and Shaka, who were born in the Alliance, cannot avoid this tendency after being implanted with the Death Angel Seed.

However, even if the main group of the Angels of Death knew what happened in the Unforgettable Oath and knew that their inner circle members were caught by Gu Hang, they would not make a fuss in public as long as Gu Hang did not expose the whole matter.

However, secret investigation and targeting are probably inevitable.

Dealing with this group of crazy people is a very annoying thing. Moreover, when he got such a critical information that was particularly related to the Angel of Death and was extremely important, he couldn't use it. Gu Hang always felt like something was crawling on his body, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

No matter how you do it, this matter is very important and requires long-term consideration.

Let’s put that aside for now.

Right now, there are two things to do:

Firstly, can the Unforgotten Oath Regiment be completely brought back to its current state?

It's not just about being within the jurisdiction of the alliance, it's not just about obeying orders, but about being recognized by the system.

Not yet, but Gu Hang already has an idea.

In this assault ship, all the Space Marines who followed Miloriela to "revolt" must be dealt with cleanly.

Next, he will declare the rebellion within the Unforgotten Oath as the High Lord of the Empire and the Supreme Chairman of the Imperial Dark Side Control Committee. He will not label the entire chapter as traitors, but will label Milorila and other high-ranking members of the chapter as traitors and declare them guilty.

Aren't they planning to pretend to have surrendered to the Lord of Change, bear the name of Chaos, and then escape from the control of the Alliance? Then let them do as they wish and confirm this crime.

Moreover, according to their plan, only a few hundred so-called "Blood Oath Members" escaped. The remaining so-called outer members were prepared to be "sacrifices" and remain in the hands of the alliance.

These people may not be so hopeless.

After all, according to the information Gu Hang dug out from the souls of the top members of the Unforgotten Oath, there are layers of secret societies within their chapter. These underwater parts are the real power structure of the chapter. Many secrets are kept secret from the outer personnel. Those outer space warriors really don't know what's going on.

Of course, Gu Hang would not completely trust those guys.

He will require all Space Marines who have not forgotten their oath to surrender their weapons, accept interrogation unconditionally, and undergo another screening.

Gu Hang was still very confident about the result of the screening because he had a very reliable way of judging: whether the system recognized the group.

If the system still does not approve after all the Blood Oath Takers have been cleared, it means that the cleansing is not complete and further cleansing is needed among the outer personnel.

Those who resist will be killed without mercy.

The cleaning is done when the system recognizes the problem.

Even in extreme cases, it is possible to clear out the entire Unforgettable Oath until only a hundred or so alliance members are left.

Anyway, as long as the system recognizes it and he gets the exchange quota for two thousand Death Angel gene seeds, Gu Hang will not only be able to quickly replenish the troops for this regiment, but also build another Death Angel sub-regiment.

It's just a matter of spending a few more grace points, the cost is not expensive.

By that time, the total number of Space Marines owned by the Alliance should be able to reach 4.6, which will no longer be the unpleasant odd number before.

The second thing is that Gu Hang is going to meet the fallen angel that he would rather pay a huge price to chase and kill.

The Angel of Death has so many secrets, so the Fallen Angel should have even more secrets, right?
After calculating the remaining strength of this incarnation, he realized that time was a little tight. Fortunately, the battle on the ship did not take up much of his energy. At most, he used up some energy when he killed the commander of the Unforgotten Oath. The subsequent cleanup mission was mainly completed by the Marines who boarded the ship one after another.

If he hurrys up, it should be enough time for him to make a trip to Gamma VII.

……

Gamma VII is a broken mining world.

Before the catastrophe, there were about 800 million people here. Living conditions on the entire planet were relatively difficult and the surface was completely uninhabitable.

Historically, the underground of this planet has abundant mineral resources. Human colonists came here for the mineral resources, dug out a huge and complex mine structure in the underground environment, and formed an intricate underground city. More and more miners, as well as their descendants, live in the underground city, carrying out mineral mining and smelting work.

Later, the precious mineral deposits gradually dried up, and the value of the entire planet also decreased. On the eve of the catastrophe, the economy here had already declined considerably, and it could only rely on the increasingly scarce mineral resources and processing industries to maintain some income and withstand the imperial taxes. The residents used geothermal resources underground to carry out some average-yield planting industries and synthetic starch processing to maintain the difficult survival of 800 million people.

After the catastrophe, the world collapsed rapidly - lack of interstellar trade, problems with the internal circulation of food, problems with the water purification system, famine and water shortage caused a large number of deaths on the planet. Then, in despair, those who heard the voice of the loving father established the Immortal Sect, and a brutal civil war broke out on the planet.

The Alliance's Dark Side Expedition had just reached the vicinity of this planet, and they confirmed that the situation on Gamma VII was extremely bad, and the value of the entire planet was also extremely low. It was really not worth the loss to go to the underground city where it was not convenient to deploy a large army, armor, and artillery forces, and slowly wipe out the evil cult regime that had already gained a comprehensive advantage in the war, with huge casualties.

After discussion, the staff of the Southern Expedition Headquarters gave their opinion on how to deal with this planet: a squadron, with the assistance of a team of Unforgotten Oath warriors, would set up six evacuation points underground on the planet for a period of two months. They would try their best to contact the loyal residents, take them away after identification, and relocate them away.

At the end of two months, the Alliance will withdraw all military forces on the surface and underground, and then launch a devastating bombing on the planet.

The Burning Sky Torpedoes are not effective. There might be quite a few Nurgle believers with strong vitality surviving in the depths of the dungeon.

As for using higher-level neutrons to kill, the effect cannot be guaranteed.

As for the most powerful Earth-blasting Planet Destroyer, this can solve the problem once and for all. After all, if the planet is blown to pieces, no matter how capable the Nurgle monsters on it are, they will not be able to survive.

However, whether it is neutron annihilation or earth-blasting star destroyer, the price is much more expensive than the conventional Burning Sky Torpedo.

More expensive than the planet.

not worth it.

But after contacting the locals of Gamma VII, with their help, a new plan was developed.

The nobles of Gamma VII had no intention of dying with the planet. They were eager to be picked up by the Alliance and get out of this shithole. At the same time, they also provided the Alliance with some key design drawings of the underground city, letting the Alliance know which parts to blow up. With conventional naval gun firepower, it would take about three days to blow down all the surface underground cities.

By then, there will definitely be surviving Nurgle believers or normal people, but they will all be sealed underground and will never come out.

When Gu Hang arrived at Gamma VII, the evacuation plan had been implemented for the 47th day.

At this time, the entire southern front headquarters knew that their great governor had arrived at the front line. However, Gu Hang asked the commander-in-chief of the southern front, De Villiers, to continue his work and not to worry about him.

After he arrived, he first pulled out the Unforgettable Oath team that was active in the planet's dungeon.

If Gu Hang hadn't put in the effort, it would have been difficult to find these guys who were good at hiding.

After catching him, Gu Hang confirmed the final location of the so-called fallen angel by combining the information they had previously passed on to the regiment's top leaders and the information Gu Hang had plundered from the souls of those top leaders, as well as the information they had on the planet.

At the same time, the behavior of this team also made Gu Hang sneer and feel that there was no big problem with his handling of the Oath of Not Forgetting.

Their original mission was to cooperate with the Alliance's mortal army to establish a safe zone underground, accommodate the people, and suppress the Chaos evildoers for two months.

They did so at first, but halfway through, when they found the traces of the fallen angels, they massacred the first alliance troops who found this place, and killed all the people who reported the information. They did this very secretly, but an entire elite special forces battalion with the ability to penetrate deep into enemy territory disappeared inexplicably, and key personnel at multiple intelligence nodes died. The alliance military would definitely not let it go.

The person in charge of the front-line command was an army brigadier general who kept sending troops to find out the problem, but all the troops he sent out disappeared.

The Commodore thought a large enemy force was at the location, and sent a reconnaissance request to the Space Marines of the Unforgotten Oath.

This undying oath team went there and reported false intelligence, saying that there had been a large number of enemies gathered there, but they later disappeared.

This statement was somewhat inconsistent with the actual situation, which made the brigadier general suspicious. But just as the investigation began, the investigation team was assassinated by the warriors of the Unforgotten Oath, and the brigadier general died soon after.

The Bloodsworn of this chapter regard the mission of hunting down and hiding the traces of the Fallen Angels as more important than anything else.

An absolute madman.

This happened in a small, not very critical battle.

If we don't resolve the Unforgettable Oath, and if they go crazy in some key battle, won't that cause a big fireworks display for the Alliance?
After killing the traitor of the team, Gu Hang followed the trail they had previously traced, and brought fifty Pure Fire Brotherhood space warriors that Alvin and Shaka had gathered from other places, and searched the intricate underground world of Gamma VII for sixteen days.

During this period of time, the evacuation period, which was initially estimated by the coalition forces, has exceeded the two-month period.

But it doesn’t matter. Gu Hang asked to extend the evacuation period to three and a half months.

It would have taken two months to evacuate all the people, and this time was set only for the efficiency of the expedition, which essentially meant giving up more than half of the loyal population.

Now, more loyalists may be saved.

And on the seventeenth day, Gu Hang found the hiding place of the fallen angel.

Those are the two 'Black Knights'.

Black is used as the base paint color, silver is used as the matching color, and the scarlet sword-wing logo inlaid on the edge of the armor is consistent with the emblem of the Death Angels Chapter.

Is this the Fallen Angel? The color of the armor is different from the dark green of the current Angel of Death.
