The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Latest website: In the eyes of Santo Joel, fate seems to have come to an end.

The artillery fire of the Blood Curse was roaring, and the shells spewed from the huge broadside cannons, circling columns of fire in the void.

A portion of the enemy's torpedoes were hit by shells, and the surrounding atomic flames erupted in the dark void and ripped apart everything within their reach, leaving only the silver wreckage.

Santo Joel, Lord of the Blood Knights, watched them on the screen, which was connected to the sensor of the cannon itself.

At this distance, enemy cruisers can be seen like silver darts illuminated by light reflected from surrounding nebulae, with some smaller ships as sporadic spots of light around them.

In the first few minutes, the smaller frigates were hit by shells and turned to burning ashes.

He could also see below the cannon deck, more than two dozen cannons roaring in unison, most of which were self-loading, and the rest were operated by technical priests.

The loading cranes went to work, the servitors began to reload the cannons, and slave laborers in red robes scrambled to climb over the cannon casings, opened the rear hatch, and dragged more shells into place.

Santo Joel was about to go to the deck when he saw on the screen a formation of fighter planes approaching rapidly, circling towards them.

"It's a bomber!"

he shouted immediately.

"Anti-aircraft fire covers the M12 area!"

But the missiles had fallen from the approaching bomber's weapon rack, and the battleship's Guards guns were activated, which were mounted on the hull of the Blood Curse, trapping the bomber in a net of lasers with countless beams.

Many of the bombers were destroyed, cut in half by the white-hot beam, but that was before they released their missiles, as most ships needed to get closer to maneuver to escape the fire.

The next moment, the missile hit the battery directly.

Santo Joel jumped off the turret, tensing his legs and crashing into a distant wall, his hand finding a point of force on the metal.

He was clinging to the wall when the first missile hit the target, and the missile spewed white flames at the end of the gun deck, shattering the massive structure of the side guns.

Soon, the shock wave hit him, and all the seasoned fighter could do now was hold on to the wall, while the other fighters were thrown below the deck.

Although the flames were sucked out by the vacuum before they could do more damage, the situation was still grim, with air screaming through the hull breach.

Fortunately, the power armor is sealed, which can ensure the oxygen supply in a vacuum.

But the servants were not so lucky, and many died with only a slight scream.

Santo Joel's hand gripped the wall harder as the air whizzed past him, and some of the blood knights below were dragged by the whistling air current, and they could only grasp the reloading machine or the floor grille so as not to be sucked out by the notch.

Silence fell as the air was exhausted, replaced by the vibrations of the cannons and ship's engines through the metal walls and into the hands of each warrior.

Santo Joel went down to the floor, trying to run to the relatively safe inner deck, when another missile hit him close to death, blowing up another cannon.

The massive gun barrels somersaulted and passed through the wall, the sound of destruction rumbled on the floor, and the sound was out of reach in the vacuum.

The alarm system on the Blood Curse was reactivated, making a screeching sound.

The battleship was in dire condition at this time, with narrow walkways and corridors suspended in the steel gaps between the bomb hoppers, and the enormous conveyor belts and cranes of the loading system jingling overhead and below, delivering ammunition to the still-working cannons .

"Capac!"

Santo Joel shouted into the communicator:

"Report! Are there any casualties?"

"The Wesley brothers are hurt."

The only pharmacist in the chapter now answered quickly.

"Brother Dawn died in battle, and his body was sucked into the void and could not be recovered."

In Capac's voice, Santo Joel could hear more crashing rumblings, which were interspersed with the vibrations of the Bloodcurse's cannons.

"Where are you?"

"Still on deck three, we are regrouping and trying to fix some of the facilities."

"Get out of there."

"Okay, we'll go to the cargo hold and put a few layers of hull between us and the gap."

Santo Joel switches to Tech Sergeant Frank's voice channel.

"Frank, part of the artillery deck took a hit."

"I'm tracking the incoming bomber."

Santo Joel could hear the meditator behind the Tech Sergeant's voice.

"They're on top of us."

"Can we destroy them?"

"Of course, but they're not the danger, they're just diverting our target so the cruiser's cannons hit us."

"How much damage can it do?"

"Generally speaking, it's impossible for a cruiser to leave too many scars on a battle barge like the Curse of Blood, but that obviously doesn't bother the Inquisition and the **** of the Black Templar."

Santo Joel knew that the tech sergeant was telling the truth, after all, they had been like this for a long time.

The Blood Knights are recognized as a sub-group of the Holy Blood Angels. The founding time of the army is unknown. It belongs to the newly-built sub-group but has major defects in its gene seeds.

The Chapter was declared traitors to the Imperium by the High Lords of Terra in the name of the Emperor at the beginning of the 41st Millennium, so much of the Chapter's data was erased, mainly due to their inability to control the Red Thirst, during the battle Frequent killings indiscriminately between foes and foes resulted in a large number of friendly casualties, which aroused the hostility and dissatisfaction of many Imperial commanders and other Astartes colleagues.

However, after the excommunication was issued, the Blood Knights still intervened in several battles in which the Empire was in trouble, and although they came uninvited, they brought great help to the Empire.

It's just that most imperial commanders are reluctant to accept the support of blood knights. Only the most desperate world will officially accept the help of blood knights, but aside from the danger of being accidentally injured by a large number of people, they accept the help of these "renegade" space warriors. will also be investigated by the Tribunal.

Santo Joel is very clear that their loyalty to the empire has not changed, and everyone still insists on fighting the enemy of mankind.

Not everyone saw it that way, at least the Inquisition was keen to hunt them down, as were some of the fanatical Astartes chapters.

Usually they are lucky and can avoid most people's eyes, but not long ago, they just finished an attack on the greenskin tribe in the Jericho sector, and they were about to go to a secret stronghold to repair, when they suddenly stopped. Killed an expedition fleet of the Black Sanctuary, and also brought a small fleet of the Tribunal, giving them a blow to the head.
