Chapter 901: Angel's tragic victory
Chapter 901: Angel's tragic victory
Dante's consciousness floated in the void for an unknown period of time. He dreamed that he was lying at the bottom of a pool of blood, with countless pairs of rotten hands dragging him into the abyss.
Those hands belonged to the descendants of the Blood Angels who died in battle, as well as to the countless mortals. They poked their heads out from the sticky blood plasma, and their faces, which were being gnawed by the swarm of insects, roared silently, as if they were cursing and questioning him.
He knelt at the edge of the pool of blood, tears streaming down his face, constantly confessing and apologizing.
It was not until a cool breath pierced his chest that he suddenly opened his eyelids.
"Great, you're awake."
Dante could hear the surprise in the speaker.
That was his battle-brother, the Blood Angels' Apothecary.
Of course, he was very familiar with his own medical officer.
However, there was another person next to the medical officer whom he did not recognize.
However, it looked... 'familiar'.
He looks familiar, mainly because of his paint job, a blood-red color, exactly the same as that of the Blood Angels.
If there is any difference, first of all, his stature is much taller than the average Space Marine, and this height is beyond the scope of individual differences.
In addition, the emblem on its shoulder is different from that of the Blood Angels in that it is in the shape of a sickle.
Dante spoke slowly: "I never remember the descendants of the Blood Angels having this symbol. Can this strange battle brother answer the questions of an old fool?"
He calls himself old and confused, but he is not really confused.
Dante could vaguely feel a kind of blood affinity from this tall Space Marine, which made him 80% to 90% sure that this was a blood brother of Saint Gerard.
But it's just a feeling.
Dante was not confused at all, he remembered every sub-group of the Blood Angels in his mind, whether their endings were destruction, disappearance, or betrayal, he remembered them all.
But he just couldn't remember this sign.
Moreover, its unusual size also puzzled Dante.
While asking the question gently, he quietly lowered his hand, preparing to pinch the weapon on his lower back.
He stayed there all year round and hid a small knife.
But I didn't touch it.
His armor had been completely removed, leaving him completely naked, so there was no way any knife could be hidden.
Moreover, there was something wrong with his body.
First of all, it is extreme weakness, and at the same time, the action of just reaching back with the hand is extremely painful.
He recalled what happened before he fell into a coma. He was surrounded by enemies and kept fighting. He killed countless enemies, including the Hive Tyrant and the Executioner Tyrant.
However, he was ultimately unable to withstand the endless siege, the wounds on his body accumulated more and more, and finally he became completely unconscious and could only fight on instinct.
He couldn't remember what happened after that.
He originally thought he was dead.
Now, it seems that he has saved his life, but it will take some time to fully recover from his injuries.
But besides the weakness, he also felt a special power pulsating in his body.
This power was quickly repairing his body, but it felt so strange.
"Please don't move." The strange battle brother spoke, "You still have three pieces of Zerg carapace stuck in your chest, and your right lung is completely carbonized. You still need to rest. After this bottle of strengthening potion is finished, you can have another operation and you will be out of danger."
"As for your question just now, I can also answer you. I am the chief pharmacist from the Crimson Scythes - Yuren Sosa. Our regiment was founded during the Fourth Dark Founding, and its history is relatively short, only twenty-three years. However, we still received continuous requests for help from the parent regiment, and rushed to support..."
The Crimson Blade pharmacist who called himself Sosa explained a lot of things, but the more Dante listened, the less he understood. Crimson Blade? Never heard of it.
When a sub-group is established, shouldn't the parent group be notified?
What is the Dark Army?
The history is only twenty-three years old? Twenty-three years ago, the Empire held a ceremony to establish the Holy Blood Corps?
Didn't the Scarlet Scars tear the Empire into two sides? In twenty-three years, the Empire will have a new warband to support the dark side?
He had many questions in his mind.
"Wait until you recover, then listen to the story," Sosa advised.
"No, I need to know the truth."
As they stared at each other, Sosa gave in to the legendary hero of the empire.
He gave a detailed account of the experience of supporting the troops.
They came from the fourth dark army, that's right. The so-called dark army was authorized by Gu Hang, the dark archon of the empire, the high lord of the empire, the great leader of the alliance, and the use of the collected gene seed library to build the space warriors.
And now, the dark expedition has reached the Hexiangzhou domain where the Blood Angels are.
After receiving the Blood Angels' call for help, they rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible.
Even Gu Hang himself came to the battlefield in person because he attached great importance to the Blood Angels.
However, when the main force of the Alliance's southern expeditionary force arrived, the war between the Blood Angels and this huge Zerg tentacle fleet had actually come to an end.
The Blood Angels and their successors are on the verge of defeat.
Twenty-one thousand Blood Angel descendants and countless mortal armies fought bravely, but with huge casualties and sacrifices, they depleted the Zerg's manpower to a state of imminent collapse.
However, manpower is limited, and before the Zerg's living forces are defeated, it seems that the Blood Angels will die first.
Once the hive completes the massacre, they will immediately be able to obtain a huge amount of biomass - the quantity may be secondary, the most terrifying thing is the extremely high quality.
By then, after a short period of recovery, the size of the hive will be restored to half or even more than half; what is more terrifying is that the top hive creatures among them, both in terms of combat effectiveness and numbers, will be taken to a higher level than in the past, and will grow into much more powerful enemies than when they invaded the Hades Galaxy.
From this perspective, the alliance came at a timely moment.
They intervened in the battle, providing the Blood Angels with the much-needed manpower, allowing them to catch their breath. They also brought a large amount of supplies and equipment, allowing the Blood Angels, who were almost out of ammunition and food, to recover a certain amount of combat effectiveness.
The Alliance's advance fleet and the remnants of the Blood Angels thus survived the most dangerous period.
Afterwards, the main force of the alliance on the southern front, led by Gu Hang, arrived on the battlefield.
The insect nest, which was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on at this time.
They admitted defeat and began to evacuate, but were pursued and most of them were eventually wiped out, and the Queen of Insects was also killed.
This was the greatest victory over the Void Zerg in the history of the Empire, and the manner of victory was also very special: through an arduous and bloody battle, the Zerg were defeated to the point where their manpower was exhausted and they died.
"So, we won, Chapter Master." When Sosa said this, his eyes were full of reverence.
But Dante couldn't laugh:
"How much did we lose?"
His voice was like sandpaper on metal.
When his own pharmacist began to report the number of casualties, he raised his hand to stop him: "Just tell me how many angels are left who can stand up."
"There are 4721 people left. Of those who can still fight... no more than ."
These are the only remaining of the 21,000 Blood Angel descendants.
