From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 474 Joining the Chaos

Imperial Fists?

Chirac was slightly stunned.

The images of the giants who used Terrala as their legion's home planet immediately emerged in my mind.

He had heard of the deeds of the Imperial Fists, and knew that they were extremely tolerant and friendly toward sub-human races such as elves and dwarves, and would even "come out" together with these races on certain occasions.

However, these giants are also known for their extremely harsh and sarcastic words, and their "foul mouths" are often unpleasant.

But Chirac quickly put these associations behind him.

He raised his head, his eyes fell on the Grey Knight in front of him who was much taller than him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"How do you know that I was rejected by the Son of Man?"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, kid."

At this time, another Grey Knight standing behind slowly walked up.

His movements are steady and powerful, exuding a reassuring aura of majesty.

Then, the Grey Knight leaned forward a little and gently touched Sirak's shoulder with two fingers. Although the action was simple, it revealed a hidden sense of power.

"It was our arrangement that caused you to be shut out from the Sons of Men and put in such a dangerous situation."

???

Listening to the Grey Knight's low but magnetic explanation, Sirak felt dizzy, as if everything he had just experienced was replaying rapidly in his mind.

He was a little dazed, but soon came to his senses and vaguely guessed the truth -

The four Grey Knights in front of him most likely had planned everything in advance. They used themselves as baits with the sole purpose of disintegrating the Chaos forces and capturing the snake-like banshee.

The facts are just as Chirac speculated.

These four Grey Knights were transferred to Harvest to conduct secret investigations and guard missions after the Inquisition learned that the Empire was about to face a Chaos invasion.

In other words, at least a team of four Grey Knights are deployed in important colonies and facilities in the Halo universe, ready to deal with possible Chaos threats at any time.

As the mother planet of the Sons of Man, Harvest Planet is highly valued by the Empire.

Despite the presence of Primarch Fulgrim, the Imperial high-ranking officials still did not dare to take it lightly.

Chaos corruption has always been cunning and secretive, and everything inside the Planet of Abundance must be carefully investigated.

During this investigation, the Grey Knights not only need to track down traces of Chaos corruption, but also ensure that these heretical forces cannot spread into the legion.

Soon, the Grey Knights' attention was drawn to a special phenomenon on the Planet of Harvest.

In the past month, a large number of communication messages from minors who failed the Legion's test and were not accepted by the Children of Mankind have appeared on the Internet.

Without exception, these minors complained about the harshness and cruelty of the tests, but the Grey Knights discovered that there was a certain abnormal "guidance" in these discussions, as if they were deliberately inciting certain emotions, and even had traces of demonic induction.

On the surface, everything seemed to be normal. Even the network monitoring programs of the stupid AI and the smart AI did not find anything wrong.

However, as the Grey Knights had confronted demons and heretics many times, they were keenly aware of the conspiracy hidden in these exchanges.

These topics might just be some kind of trick used by some chaotic forces to win over the frustrated, and they might even be the beginning of corrupting the future of Harvest Star.

In order to further verify this speculation, the Grey Knights secretly cooperated with the Legion of the Children of Man.

According to the plan, they selected a group of children who met the criteria for new members of the Legion, but deliberately arranged for the pharmacist to give them the answer that "they cannot join the Legion."

And Chirac Oren is part of this plan.

Although Sirak had no idea of ​​this, at first, his anger and frustration were exactly the reactions the Grey Knights expected.

With the help of this emotion, Chirac attracted the attention of the heretic forces of the serpent-bodied banshee, and Chirac's rejection and vigilance successfully aroused the "interest" of the serpent-bodied banshee. At the same time, he successfully guided the Grey Knights and locked their "nest".

at this time.

"Kid." The Grey Knight, who had just finished sealing the snake demon, put away the metal box-like container steadily, turned around and stared at Sirak through the helmet monitor, and said in a steady voice with a hint of encouragement:

"Your will and loyalty far exceed our expectations. Therefore, in order to make up for your loss, you can now choose to continue to join the Children of Man, or you can choose to become one of our Grey Knights."

Children of Man

Grey Knight.

etc.

Chirac was a little confused.

Although the existence of the Grey Knights is a secret, the Grey Knights in the main universe are not as "absolute" as those in "Warhammer 40k".

The Grey Knights of the Prime Universe are not completely isolated from the other Astartes Legions, and their duties and honors are occasionally mentioned in low-key terms, especially in circles of military enthusiasts.

Therefore, as a typical military fan, Sirak naturally knew that the Empire had an Astartes force that specialized in dealing with "supernatural events", namely the Grey Knights.

Each Grey Knight is like a mythical warrior. Not only do they possess powerful bodies and combat skills, they also have the ability to resist the erosion of psychic powers and chaos. They are also the guardians of the empire and a staunch barrier against the darkest enemies.

And now, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of Chirac.

He was silent for a moment, but a wave of emotions was already stirring in his mind.

What does it mean to become a Grey Knight? It means immortal glory, fighting the most evil enemy to the end, but it also means abandoning everything in the past, leaving the Harvest Star, even leaving parents, and embarking on a lonely but faith-filled road.

After a brief consideration, his eyes gradually lit up with fire, and he straightened his back with excitement and replied to the Grey Knight:

"I want to join the Grey Knights, sir! I want to kill those filthy bastards with you!"

"Haha, very good." The Gray Knight standing in front of Sirak smiled and nodded slightly, and continued with a solemn tone:

"Then we will give you a rich star day to say goodbye to your family, because starting tomorrow, you will be sent to the main universe for training and start a new life."

"."

As soon as these words came out, Chirac instantly calmed down a little from his excitement.

His excitement was gradually replaced by mixed emotions.

Becoming a Grey Knight was an honor and opportunity he had never thought of, but the thought of having to part with his parents made him feel reluctant.

Although he once complained about his parents' overprotection, at this fateful moment, he realized that those nagging and concerns were already deeply engraved in his heart.

He lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then took a deep breath, raised his head and said firmly:

"Yes, sir, I will cherish this last moment."

The Grey Knight nodded slightly and said nothing more.

at this time.

Following a burst of heavy footsteps, more figures appeared at the entrance of the warehouse.

Technicians wearing black chemical protective suits quickly entered and began to handle the scene in an orderly manner.

They carefully collected the heretic corpses scattered everywhere and quickly put them into sealed containers. At the same time, they cleaned the scene with efficient disinfection equipment to prevent any possible "secondary contamination".

The technicians' movements were calm and precise, and every detail revealed the rigor and experience they had gained from years of training and combat.

At the same time, task forces belonging to the Inquisition also entered one after another. They also wore silver "mortal" power armor and were also "decorated" with purity marks and special runes.

The members of the task force were spread out, forming layers of tight cordons to ensure that no potential threats could get close.

And Sirak followed the Grey Knight out of the warehouse.

The air outside is fresh, and the breeze blows gently on your face, but it carries a hint of chilliness.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Surrounded by vast farmland, the fields were covered with a thin layer of frost, silent and peaceful.

There were no buildings, no signs of any village, only this lonely field shrouded by the night sky, and Chirac could feel an atmosphere of isolation and helplessness.

However, his attention was soon drawn to a bright light in the distance.

Although night had fallen, Chirac could still vaguely see a busy holographic projection in the south, with intertwined lights flickering in the distant skyline.

Without much guessing, Chirac knew it was the New Argo.

Even in the dark night, the city still shines like a star, as if endless technology and civilization have come together to form a light that cannot be ignored. But now, New Argo has become the home he is about to say goodbye to.

A Herring Gull with the emblem of the Inquisition printed on the bottom of the cabin removed its optical camouflage in front of their sight and deployed its landing gear in preparation for landing.

Seeing this, the Grey Knight Captain who was in charge of keeping the metal container personally told Sirak:

“My child, the transport team will escort you back to New Argo safely. After you say goodbye to your parents, pack all the things you need.

Remember, go to the Humanity's new recruit camp in the suburbs to gather before noon tomorrow. Don't be late. This will be the beginning of your new life."

Hearing this, Chirac straightened his back and replied in a clear and firm voice: "Yes, sir."

After the Silver Gull completed its landing not far in front of him and opened the doors on both sides, Chirac took a deep breath and stepped into the cabin.

The interior of the cabin was simple and efficient, and two crew members in black protective clothing watched his arrival with serious eyes.

As the hatch closed and the roar of the engine gradually increased, the Silver Gull slowly took off, taking Chirac away from the farmland.

Through the sealed windows on both sides of the cabin, Chirac could clearly see the warehouse area in the distance gradually becoming smaller and being gradually left behind by the flight path of the Silver Gull.

Just as the pilot manipulated the Herring Gull to adjust the fuselage angle, allowing Chirac to look out over the city of New Argo through the sealed window—

Ri~————whoosh! !

A purple beam of light that shot straight into the sky like thunder suddenly rose from the central area of ​​New Argo City.

The beam of light was like a purple arrow, tearing through the night sky, and its dazzling light almost swallowed up everything in sight.

The light is fierce and flamboyant, almost "dizzying".

? !

Chirac couldn't help but narrow his eyes, looking extremely confused.

He had never seen such a strange sight. The beam of light did not belong to any common energy fluctuations, and the aura it released made him vaguely feel an extremely strong aura of danger.

The Grey Knights on the surface also saw the same scene.

Under the helmets, they did not show any expressions of tension or panic, but they did not take immediate action. Instead, they remained on guard, waiting for further developments.

The snake-like banshee trapped in the metal box seemed to have developed some kind of perception.

She let out a low, hoarse laugh, and there was a hint of malice and complacency in her voice, as if she already knew the outcome of all this.

"Hahahaha!" Her laughter echoed in the box, full of provocation and sarcasm:

"You idiots, hahaha! How could you be so ignorant that you don't understand that everything has already been predetermined! My Lord's plan has been successfully completed. This planet will soon become a paradise of joy! Your struggle is in vain."

Her laughter became increasingly shrill, as if foreshadowing some kind of disaster, while her hollow tone revealed a strong sense of confidence and madness.

At this moment, chaos was spreading like flames on the streets in the center of New Argo.

Da da da--!

Boom. Boom——!

The sounds of gunfire and explosions rang out one after another, echoing in every street and alley throughout the city.

The streets between the tall buildings were shrouded in thick smoke, flames danced in the night sky, and the entire city center was surrounded by turmoil and war.

Looking down from the sky, unmanned patrol aircraft throughout the city gathered around the light column, forming a swarm-like offensive and defensive array.

Relying on precise sensing systems and coordinated combat algorithms, they fired more intensive barrages and micro-missiles in an attempt to suppress the enemies pouring out of the light column.

The so-called enemies are the demonic creatures that have stepped into the physical universe from the realm of chaos.

Their bodies are twisted and deformed, covered with complex patterns and colors, like some kind of decadent and weird works of art, full of alternative "beauty".

These chaotic creatures move swiftly and with incredible strength. They wield sharp claws and strangely shaped weapons and launch a ruthless slaughter on everything around them.

Most of the ordinary citizens on the street were frightened by the sudden chaos and didn't know what to do. Screams and cries were mixed together.

They fled in all directions, desperately hiding in subway stations, underground shelters, and enclosed spaces in shopping mall buildings.

The patrol police and their synthetic partners were the first to respond, and countless unmanned patrol aircraft formed the first line of defense between the chaotic creatures and innocent citizens.

In addition, more and more hovercrafts, carrying fully armed special police officers and explosion-proof terminators belonging to the police station, were deployed to the front-line combat positions.

These special police and terminators acted skillfully, quickly occupying advantageous terrain, and aimed their heavy police weapons at the influx point of the chaotic creatures, trying to delay the enemy as much as possible to buy time for subsequent defensive forces.
