Chapter 57 The Chosen One—Kahn
Chapter 58 The Chosen One—Kahn
"Hereinafter conveying the supreme decree of Warlord Horus: For the sake of our lofty ideals and great cause, the entire fleet shall immediately cease all other operations, lock all firepower on the Great Tyrant, and shoot it down; I repeat, lock onto the Great Tyrant at all costs and destroy it!!!!"
On the bridge of the Andronius, the voice of Malohrist from the Vengeance Soul abruptly stopped, replaced by an extremely piercing buzzing sound.
That was because Lord Commander Adoron was roughly slammed against the communications control panel by Kahn, and the implant in his throat caused frequency interference to the broadcast array.
"You... damn lunatic!"
At this moment, Aidoron was no longer the elegant man he usually was. Half of his hair had been ripped off, and his face was a bloody mess with distorted features. He could only barely protect his vital parts to avoid being beaten to death by Kahn.
But compared to the physical pain, the mental humiliation of being publicly executed was even more unbearable for him.
By this time, many soldiers of the Sons of the Emperor's Legion had arrived at the bridge, and many ships had also approached the area after learning of the riot.
But if Aidoron had the time, he would have preferred to order these people to go back immediately.
Because in this situation, no one else can help. Long-range shooting would likely accidentally injure Aidoron, and as for coming over to stop Kahn in melee—
Fun fact: At this point, Edoron, who was being beaten like a stray dog, was already the most skilled in brute force melee combat among the Emperor's Sons, an army that valued skill.
"You heard the Warmaster's order, didn't you...? If you don't stop... all of you World Eaters will perish along with Angron!!!"
But Kahn's response was simple.
He grabbed Edoron's head and slammed it repeatedly against the ground, causing Edoron to let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Kahn let out a deafening roar, but it seemed not to be directed at Edoron, but rather at something that did not exist in the air.
"He is my legion commander! He is my father! No one can kill him, not these scum, not Horus, not even the so-called Blood God!!"
Whoosh!
Amidst the horrified stares of the onlookers, one of Aidoron's ears, along with a large chunk of scalp, was ripped off, leaving a trail of blood!
"Aaaaaaah!!! That damn bastard, just die!!!"
In the moment when he felt extreme pain to the point of mental collapse, Aidoron's neck suddenly underwent a strange change, expanding to its extreme on both sides like a cobra.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The next second, a terrifying shriek accompanied by a pale purple psionic shockwave exploded outwards. Even Astartes, the Emperor's son who was standing the furthest away, suffered ruptured eardrums and collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching his ears.
As for Kahn, who was closest to Edoron, his terracotta power armor was riddled with cracks, and blood was flowing from the gaps in his helmet, seemingly gushing from some part of his seven orifices.
The screams from the alien organ subsided after a few seconds, and Aidoron struggled to his feet, panting heavily.
"Serves you right...you lunatic!"
To be honest, Aidoron was also somewhat surprised by the attack he had launched; this deadly noise far exceeded the theoretical power that Fabius Bayer had told him during the modification.
But he couldn't worry about that now. He struggled to climb to the communications control panel, entered the Legion Communications Frequency Fluctuation, and turned the broadcast array power to the maximum.
"Ahem, listen up, sons of Fulgrim, all of you obey the Warmaster's orders to... uh!! Ha...
""
However, Aidoron immediately felt a sharp pain as his neck was clamped, but when he opened his mouth, he could not make a sound.
Because the finger pierced directly into his neck, destroying his alien vocal organs.
"The reason you were still able to scream just now was twofold: firstly, it attracted more of the Emperor's sons, and secondly, it slightly masked the sound of you urging Kahn."
Aidoron felt an unprecedented terror, not only because of the voice of Kahn that rang in his ears, but also because of the extreme calmness of that voice.
This is not the kind of emotion that Kahn, who has had the Butcher's Nail transplanted, should exhibit in battle.
"It's no longer necessary."
Aidoron was casually thrown to the ground, and then he watched helplessly as Kahn operated the communications control panel.
The movements were swift and skillful; the password to remove the access was unlocked in less than a second.
He first issued a standby order to all warships of the Third Army Corps and then locked down fleet communications with temporary commander privileges.
He then changed the communication frequency to the mode of the World Eater Legion.
"Brothers, I am Kahn, the company commander of the Eighth Company. Horus has betrayed us, betrayed our father."
Aidoron stared in horror, but unable to utter a single word, he could not stop the person using Kahn's body and speaking Kahn's voice.
It is definitely not Kahn.
"Fire at the Sons of Horus! Protect our Primarch at all costs!"
The Great Tyrant.
Even at the risk of being caught in the blast wave of a planet's disintegration, the Sons of Horus's fleet chose to lower its orbital altitude and bombard the Great Tyrant with hundreds of light spears.
Although the Glory Queen-class battleship's void shield is extremely strong, she now has to withstand the energy surging from the dying planet below, and immediately entered a dangerous state of near overload after blocking this salvo.
The Sixteenth Legion's fleet wanted to seize this opportunity, but before the second salvo, their own Void Shields experienced a blink overload first.
These attacks came from the World Eater Legion, who had originally fought alongside them.
It can be seen that the fleet of the World Eater Legion not only launched a frenzied attack on the former "rebel allies", but some even used their own bodies as shields to block the ballistics of the Sons of Horus fleet and the Great Tyrant.
Faced with this sudden internal annexation, the Emperor's Son Legion fell into a long period of silence and made no move.
The Death Guards continued their planned movement, heading towards Mandeville point on Eastfan III.
It could be said that the entire Istevan galaxy was in complete chaos, yet at the heart of it all, Sun Qian and Anglong remained calmly confronting each other.
It was as if the flames of war ignited in the sky and the collapse of the planet below were all irrelevant to them.
"Now is the best opportunity, Sun Qian."
Angron held onto the chains to stabilize the boulder, while the retreat and relocation of the World Eater warriors below was nearing completion.
"While the situation is chaotic, we can have the Great Tyrant crash directly into the Vengeful Spirit. Nearly 100,000 loyal Astartes will board the ship, clearing the way to Horus for us. If we cooperate at that time, we can liberate Horus—and even the entire human empire—from the enslavement of the Chaos Gods."
"That's absolutely right, Angron. We can't afford to miss this opportunity."
Despite saying that, Sun Qian showed no intention of putting down the explosive gun.
"So please tell me your plans and goals quickly and completely, without any concealment or deception—as you can see, there is no room for bargaining now, you only have one chance to convince me."
Using words to persuade others to join is something only protagonists with a domineering aura would do.
Sun Qian had a clear understanding of his own position. He was just an ordinary soldier with some special abilities, at most like the "Sun Gongyou" he played, a pale-faced scholar who could come up with some small ideas.
"Prove whether you are a monarch worthy of my service, King of Red Sand."
