Warhammer 40k: Collector of Terra

Chapter 13 Outpost

The Custodes are the Emperor's most loyal warriors, and the Emperor's will is the will of the Custodes!
Now that the Primarch has the Emperor's approval, the Custodes will faithfully carry out the Primarch's orders.

The Golden Legion would become the sharpest sword in the hands of the Primarch.

Wherever the primarch points, the sword goes!
At the Primarch's will, the Emperor's Eye and the Salamander's battle barge activated their warp engines.Through the light of the star torch, the navigator in the fleet has locked the coordinates of the destination.

The Gothic Sector is located in the Hazy Star Field in northern Terra, tens of thousands of light-years away from Purgatory.Even if the fleet sails through subspace at the fastest speed, it will take at least several months to reach its destination.

When it comes to competing with the Empire for the [Eye of Dark Night], the Chaos Warmaster will never sit still and wait for death!

A few months is not too long, but it is enough time for the betrayer to do a lot.

The original body had a very strong premonition that the upcoming trip to Unswold... would definitely not go as smoothly as imagined.

……

Obscure Sector, Gothic Sector, Skowen Outpost.

It was an ordinary and beautiful day for the Imperial warriors stationed at the outpost.

There were no alarms, no enemies, no weapons to maintain, and even the annoying Imperial Lieutenant Colonel in the outpost went to a planet more than ten light years away.

Without the supervision of the immediate superior, the atmosphere in the outpost fell into a rare joy.Except for the necessary monitoring and security personnel, most of the imperial soldiers were enjoying this calm and peaceful day.

But accidents often come so suddenly.

The oriole and divination array at the outpost suddenly buzzed, and a moment later, several dazzling red dots appeared on the display screen of the enemy radar.

The imperial soldiers who stayed in the monitoring room did not dare to neglect and directly sounded the highest alarm.

A dazzling red light enveloped the entire outpost, and an ominous and dangerous atmosphere began to spread on this isolated island.

The moment the alarm sounded, the entire outpost went into combat mode.

Heavily armed Imperial soldiers were stationed in every corner of the outpost, and the defense arrays and two torpedo launch systems installed on the outer edge of the outpost also began to warm up.

Since the location of the outpost is often invaded by orc pirates, the defense systems configured by the Ministry of Military Affairs for the outpost are all modified and customized.

It has a larger bomb load, longer range, and more powerful firepower.

As long as the enemies of the empire dare to invade, the raging artillery fire will instantly envelope them until they are completely destroyed.

But the Imperial warriors still misjudged the enemy's strength.

They originally thought that the enemy this time was still the group of rampant orc pirates, but in fact, the fleet approaching the outpost belonged to the traitors who embraced the power of Chaos.

Two frigates plus a cruiser.

Although the configuration of the three Chaos warships is not very powerful, it is still not something that a small outpost can match.

Almost as soon as the outpost came into range, the Chaos warship launched a fierce attack on the loyalists.

There are light spears that emit dazzling light, macro cannons that are powerful enough to destroy fortresses, and countless beam and missile weapons...

The overwhelming artillery fire hit the outpost like raindrops.Although the Imperial warriors activated the void shield in time, a small amount of artillery fire still fell before the void shield was formed.Several macro cannons lingering with the power of chaos hit the outpost platform heavily. The moment the cannonballs exploded, the filthy power of chaos spread.

Several imperial soldiers were unable to dodge and were directly contaminated by this filthy power.

Almost instantly, disgusting flesh and blood distortions appeared on these warriors!

The rapidly expanding muscles burst the skin, and bloodshot white bone spurs grew wildly from the joints. Bloody red pupils drilled out from the gaps in the muscles, looking at everything around them with malicious eyes.

In just a few minutes, loyal Imperial warriors were tainted by the power of Chaos and transformed into twisted monsters.

The taint of Chaos is irreversible, and even if the Emperor himself comes, all he can do is grant these warriors a merciful death.

"Ho ho!" The monster, which had completely lost its mind, roared at its former comrades!

A few hours ago they were clinking glasses in the tavern, but at this moment... they had to confront each other with swords.

"Damn Chaos, damn betrayer!" The surviving Imperial warrior suppressed his grief and pulled the trigger in his hand.

The brass bullet branded with the symbol of purity was shot from the muzzle, and the bullet accurately penetrated the central nervous system of the contaminated person.These miserable imperial warriors twitched a few times on the ground, and then became completely silent.

The eyes of the surviving Imperial soldiers were filled with anger and grief. After burning the deformed corpses of their comrades, the soldiers began to fight back against the betrayers.

The defense array installed on the outer edge of the outpost began to roar, and macrocannons and light spears were densely packed like raindrops, rushing towards the betrayer's battleship with the anger of the imperial warriors.

Such intensive firepower is enough to level a small city to the ground, but for the void shield of a Chaos battleship, this level of firepower is still not enough.

The macro cannons and light spears all over the sky fiercely bombarded the void shield, but they could only cause a few insignificant ripples.

To the loyalists in the outpost, this was a great irony.

The artillery fire from the outpost failed to harm the traitors, but the heroic and determined resistance of the Imperial soldiers still inspired some interest in these despicable guys.

In the original plan, several Chaos warships would destroy the outpost as quickly as possible, and then leave calmly before the naval fortress in the sector could react.

But now, the traitors have changed their minds.

Since those mortals resisted so heroically, let them experience real fear before they die.

Hundreds of traitors have boarded the Trouble Torpedoes, and these Chaos Space Marines, who believe in their father Nurgle, will turn the Imperium's outposts into hell with a generous supply of disease and plague.

Even though the Imperial soldiers in the outpost were extremely brave, they still could not change the outcome of this battle.

The Imperial outpost that had stood here for two thousand years was destroyed by Chaos warships, and the more than [-] Imperial soldiers on it were all turned into stinky ichor by disease and plague.

Until the last moment of their lives, the loyal imperial soldiers still did not put down their weapons...

May these brave and great warriors return to the Golden Throne under the guidance of the Emperor! ! !

……

In the next two months, Imperial outposts located throughout the Obscure Star Territory were successively destroyed by the power of Chaos.
