Chapter 2906(1/3)
(● ̄ ̄●) The ferocious badge
The Vengeful Spirit, which looks like a solid and primitive iron ingot from the outside, is still floating silently in the deep space universe above the orbit of Devon. It has stayed here since Warmaster Horus was injured.
I've moved and don't know where to go.
After all, Warmaster Horus's injuries are getting more and more serious, and he is now unconscious. Without the Warmaster's command and dispatch, Abaddon and the others who are in charge of the fleet on behalf of him will definitely not dare to issue orders based on the Warmaster's orders.
As before, the Vengeful Spirit floating above the orbit of Devon is still showing its power to the quiet and dark deep space of the universe all the time, even if it is far away, even on Devon, if anyone uses that
If you observe it with an astronomical telescope, you will definitely be able to easily distinguish the largest ship with hundreds of turrets and cannons on the hull. At the same time, the 'Eye of Horus' mark is inlaid on the ship.
First, it means that nothing can escape the eyes of Horus.
But what is somewhat ironic at the moment is that although the 'Eye of Horus' embedded in the bow of the ship is still open, Horus's own eyes have not been opened for a day and a night.
Yes, Warmaster Horus has been unconscious for more than twenty-four hours. Although the doctors have tried their best, his life is still passing by little by little.
Whether Abaddon and others want to believe it or not, their original body and their warmaster Horus' time is running out, which forces them to make an important decision early.
However!
On this day, on the command deck at the top of the battleship, unexpectedly, Ali, wearing the uniform of an imperial officer, was walking step by step towards a certain direction of the strategic research room.
In front of her was the strategic research room, which was later changed to the Luperkar Chamber. It was once the office where Warmaster Horus coordinated various military and diplomatic operations of the entire 63rd Expeditionary Fleet.
The location is also where his lounge is. Although Ali has never been there before or now, she probably still knows how to get there.
And she's not afraid of being discovered at all!
Because there are not only the Sons of Horus from the 16th Legion on this deck, but also thousands of personnel from many other institutions of the empire working and working on this deck, so she is wearing
It's not too strange for a female officer in Imperial Army uniform to appear here.
Especially in this situation, Warmaster Horus is about to die, and even the command deck will inevitably have a certain degree of chaos, which provides some protection and convenience for her actions.
After all, for a female imperial officer to come here to report is a very normal thing even in ordinary times, let alone now.
Moreover, she had been in the imperial army for a period of time, but she knew the routine of the army very well, and the military temperament revealed in her bones made it impossible for anyone to doubt her at first glance. In addition, there was a forger.
She has a temporary identity and a military uniform, so she has nothing to worry about.
Besides, she was not here to assassinate Horus, nor did she need to enter Horus's office or rest room. She just needed to observe and determine the specific situation of Horus nearby.
Although she definitely couldn't see Horus himself, she could roughly tell it from the expressions and conversations of the Astartes officers and doctors who could come in and out, and then she would know what to do when she returned.
.
Because, I don’t know when, maybe from a very young age, Ali discovered that her ears could consciously enhance or filter specific background noises, and not only her hearing was enhanced, but she also had a strong sense of hearing.
The ability to distinguish phonetic positions, and never feel dizzy or nauseous due to extreme loss of direction, is very miraculous.
"?!"
arrive!
Finally, Ali, who continued to move forward according to the prompts in the metal passage, entered a hatch and entered a huge and relatively luxurious hall. Then she knew that she had finally arrived at her destination.
"!!"
However, when Ali was walking step by step towards the cabin that was obviously Horus's lounge or room, suddenly, the two elite Astartes of the Sixteenth Legion who were guarding the door appeared.
The soldiers suddenly turned their heads to look at her, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance.
That situation shocked her, and she had to force herself to calm down and pretended to be nonchalant. She walked to a few ordinary imperial officers not far away who didn't know what they were discussing, and stood still on the ground.
.
"..."
"..."
Seeing Ali's calm performance, the two Astartes guarding the gate seemed to think that Ali, like the officers, had come to their respective commanders to report certain situations, so they did not pay any more attention.
, but continued to guard in front of that door.
"..."
“….”
"..."
As for the ordinary officers who were discussing, they first stared at Ali who came over and looked at her strangely, then realized that they didn't recognize her, then looked at Ali's rank and organization, and then continued to discuss in a low voice.
.
Obviously!
For the imperial soldiers on the flagship of the Vengeful Spirit, which has a population of more than one million, they may not even recognize the officers of their own number, let alone the officers of other numbers, let alone Ali's
There was nothing strange about his behavior. They knew he was an imperial officer at first glance, so they naturally didn't suspect anything.
"..."
Seeing this, Ali was secretly happy. She continued to pay attention to the movement in the cabin in front of her and tried to listen. At the same time, she also did not forget to use her extraordinary hearing to listen to what the ordinary officers were discussing.
And secretly kept in mind the information she considered valuable.
However…..
Just when Ali thought her operation would go smoothly and she would leave after gathering enough information, what she didn't expect was: just ten minutes later, the room where Horus lived in front of her
The cabin door was opened, and immediately, a group of high-ranking officers of the Sixteenth Legion's Sons of Horus, including Abaddon, all walked out of the cabin with dark faces, and then, along with those few
An ordinary officer who had been discussing just now immediately walked towards the Astartes officers they were looking for and was 'claimed'. Her situation instantly became extremely embarrassing.
?
Because she knew that even if she pretended to come over, no one would claim it!
Moreover, had she noticed that the two Astartes Space Marines guarding the gate had begun to set their sights on her. Even if she wanted to follow the crowd and get through, it would not be easy?
"!!"
Too bad!
Then, when she noticed that the eyes of the two Astartes guarding the door of Horus's room were becoming more and more severe and suspicious, and they were already looking towards her, she knew without thinking that she was probably going to be attacked now.
.
If the other party comes to interrogate her and she can't give a proper reason at all, is she afraid that she will be left with nothing to eat?
"you!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Which army?"
Sure enough!
After staring at Ali for a while, they found that she didn't seem to be looking for an officer, but was still standing there stupidly. Moreover, they had never seen the two Astartes guarding the door these days.
While the Space Marines were shouting questions, they subconsciously reached out to hold the chainswords and bolters at their waists, and then one of them even planned to walk towards her.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The angry scoldings of the two Astartes guarding the door naturally caused Abaddon and other senior Astartes officers who were just about to leave to be stunned and stop, and then turned back towards the people who were standing there in embarrassment, unable to advance or retreat.
Ali looked.
"..."
At this time, I was lamenting in my heart, and after thinking hard, I couldn't find a way to break the situation. I found that the escape route had been blocked by the Astartes officers including the terrible Abaddon of the 1st Company. It was definitely impossible to escape and seize the way.
Escaped, and there were two Astartes guarding Horus's room ahead. While Ali was feeling regretful about her reckless behavior, she also secretly made up her mind.
Then, she planned to grit her teeth and rush over, taking the risk to break through the defenses of the two Astartes guards, and then take down the seriously injured Horus in the room.
Because of the current fatal situation, she really had no other better way besides threatening Horus' life to find a way out for herself!
Although, the chances of her being able to defeat the two elite Astartes warriors in an instant were not high if they were prepared, and the group of Astartes officers behind her would react in a very short time.
And launching an angry attack on her, her winning rate may be less than 1 in 10,000, but she has no choice now.
"I……"
Therefore, Ali, who pretended to be stammering, and then subconsciously touched the hilts of the two short chain swords hidden on the outside of her thighs, planned to take advantage of the moment when the guard came to ask questions.
Attack and charge towards the other remaining guard.
If Horus's room didn't have an authorized door lock, then maybe she might actually have a chance to succeed?
And at this critical moment!
"Okay!"
"She came to see me!"
Surprisingly, even Ali herself felt extremely shocked: at this moment, in the crowd of tall and burly Astartes officers, an officer actually spoke up and helped her out?
To be continued...
