In the fireplace in the room, the flames were beating regularly, and Ryan watched the beating flames intently.
When Guilliman walked into the room, he saw such a peaceful scene.
This made him feel angry. He didn't know what Ryan was thinking, but his reason told him not to lose his mind and to stay calm no matter what he heard from Ryan later.
"I didn't expect the banquet to turn out like this." Guilliman said calmly, sitting opposite Ryan.
"Me neither," Ryan replied, looking up.
"How much provocation do you need, brother?" Guilliman asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Ryan asked calmly.
He thought that the matter of the drop pod had been explained clearly.
"Brother, you came to my world. Your soldiers are fully armed in the airborne pod, ready for a raid. You told me personally that if I act with bad intentions, you will not hesitate to punish me. Answer me now. "Have you carried out your punishment?" Guilliman's voice gradually rose.
Ryan frowned. He didn't understand why Guilliman was so brooding about something that had been "clarified" as a mistake. Did the drop pod kill someone important to Guilliman? ?
He had no information about this.
Although it was Lion who was at fault, Guilliman's somewhat aggressive attitude at the moment still made Ryan feel uncomfortable.
"I don't understand what you mean. Is it really just a mistake this time? Or do you think this is the only extent of my punishment?" Ryan reminded in a bad tone.
"Of course your punishment is not of this level." Seeing Ryan's appearance, Guilliman's anger became even more intense: "So you let Curze punish me? If so, then your purpose has been achieved, and he and My soldiers have met, what is your subsequent punishment? Are you going to cooperate with the traitor Koz?"
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
The wood in the fireplace crackled several times in succession, and the swaying fire made Guilliman's expression looked even darker.
Lion did not immediately answer Guilliman's question, and his eyes no longer met Guilliman's, and the whole person suddenly fell into silence.
His reaction shocked Guilliman. Lion was not known for his good temper, but now that he heard what he said, he didn't refute it, nor did he angrily accuse him of talking nonsense?
That is to say, Lion also had his own guesses about the airborne landing, and he believed Guilliman's words and was thinking about some situations that Guilliman didn't know about.
Originally, Guilliman was not sure whether Liu Haodong was talking about Curze, and just wanted to test Lion. Unexpectedly, he actually tested him.
"Damn it, did you really bring Curze to Macragge?" Guilliman stood up suddenly and said angrily. There was no sense left in his eyes at this moment.
After saying these words, Ryan slowly raised his head to look at Guilliman, and the guilt that had just appeared in his heart immediately turned into anger.
Guilliman actually deceived him?
"It's nonsense. Who told you that I brought Coz? Let him come to me and say it." Ryan said while maintaining his composure.
Although he knew that this matter might be exposed, as long as Curze was caught before Guilliman found the definite evidence, the matter could be characterized as Guilliman framed him.
If Guilliman had said it nicely, Lion might have told him.
But now that Guilliman's attitude is true, Ryan wants to wait until it is confirmed. As for the casualties caused during this period, who cares?
How can anyone not die in a war? The planets that Ryan destroyed were not just one or two, but he still cares about the casualties?
Seeing that Lion was still stubborn, Guilliman was so angry that he almost burned out his sanity.
Although he had already seen Lion's shamelessness, Lion's shamelessness at this moment refreshed Guilliman's understanding of him.
Just when both of them were furious, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!" Guilliman said.
The leader of the third leg, Niarchos, walked in. He saluted politely and said: "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, sir, but I have something to report to you, sir. Your noble brother's adjutant also needs to talk to him urgently.
" My hero advised me to trust my brother, now I will express my trust and tell him everything directly, there is no need to hide my brother." Guilliman said coldly.
Dorro stood silently at the door, his raised feet stopped moving because of these words, and he stood there without saying a word.
Lion's lieutenant followed the leader of the third station, waiting for the call of the primarch.
The cold expression of the original body made the leader of the third station stunned for a moment, but he followed the original body's order and handed the data pad to Guilliman. At the same time, he said: "A team is inquiring at Barrim Square. When they arrived at the airborne pod, all of them died, and their bodies were torn into pieces. "
When they arrived at the airborne pod, they reported that there was no one in the airborne pod. They determined the airborne pod to be a mislaunch. Later, through data analysis, they found out. All the original passengers of this drop pod died. "
So, Curze landed in Macragge in this drop pod?" Guilliman asked, while glaring at Ryan, but Ryan still looked unmoved. .
The leader of the third station was shocked when he heard this and looked at Guilliman in surprise. He didn't know about Curze.
Seeing Lion's stubbornness, Guilliman ignored him.
He understood that Ryan definitely did not intentionally let Curze into Macragge, but whether he did it intentionally or not, Curze has now in fact entered Macragge.
"Notify Auguston to raise the security level to a state of war, mobilize all troops, search for all possible genetic traces, and check all surveillance equipment in the city. Coze cannot disappear out of thin air, there will always be some clues left behind." Liman said calmly.
After giving the instructions, Guilliman looked at Lion's adjutant, then extended his hand to Lion, indicating that the adjutant could report the matter to Lion.
Although the adjutant was calm on the outside, he was already frantically thinking about countermeasures. He didn't expect that Guilliman already knew about Curze and said so directly.
He checked the data found by the battleship, and now he didn't know whether to report it to Ryan.
But Ryan was obviously thinking about something at this time, and the adjutant could only walk towards Ryan hesitantly, not at a fast pace.
Fortunately, Ryan didn't think for too long and made a decision quickly.
Reaching out to stop the adjutant's progress, Ryan said: "You can just say it!"
The adjutant stopped and stared at Ryan's expression to make sure that the original body was serious, and then said: "All personnel in the battleship control room have determined All were killed. After examining all the instruments and data codes, it was concluded that the raid was authorized by genetic samples."
As soon as these words came out, without any explanation from Ryan's adjutant, Guilliman understood the reason for the airborne landing.
Curze used Llane's spawn to bet that Guilliman would not attack these drop pods and land safely.
But considering Coze's precognitive ability, perhaps in Coze's precognition, this method is safe, so he would do this.
Ryan nodded to indicate that he understood, then looked at Guilliman and said: "Brother, I understand your anger, but don't be angry yet. I told you during the banquet that after the battle in Salamas, I was imprisoned. He killed several of his officers, including that bastard named Sevita."
"Koz also escaped from the abandoned deck of my battleship. I have been chasing him since that battle. Although he couldn't escape the battleship, I couldn't either. Caught him, until now...it seems that he got away."
"Ryan!" Hearing Ryan's understatement, Guilliman roared and slammed Ryan against the wall with one hand, while grabbing Ryan's neck. , pressed him against the wall and roared: "When you arrived at Macragge, this was not the first thing you told me?"
When Guilliman took action, all the ultramarines reacted instantly, He drew his weapon and tried to control the surrounding Dark Angels.
But who among the Dark Angels who can follow Ryan is not the best among the best?
When the Ultramarines took action, they immediately drew their weapons to counterattack. Fortunately, both sides were sensible and only wanted to control or counter the other side, and did not intend to fight desperately.
At least they won't fight until the primarch breaks out and takes action.
"Looking now, I could have been more frank." Ryan spread his hands and did not resist the furious Guilliman: "I didn't resist, Guilliman, but your current behavior is offending me, let go, otherwise I will Let you know who has higher fighting power."
Guilliman's rationality gradually returned, and he understood that if the two of them fought again, the empire might really be over.
After thinking about this, Guilliman let go of Lion.
"I feel ashamed that I failed to capture Coz. I really hope that I can tie him up in front of you and let him kneel in front of you and beg for mercy." Ryan said sincerely.
Before Lion could continue to explain, Guilliman shouted in a low voice: "Since you failed to catch him, why did you hide it after I found out? Now people have died because of your concealment, and I don't know how many more people will die in the future.
"I know, I know, but just like your hero said, there is a trust issue between us, but the top priority now is to solve Kurtz, not for us to argue here and let Kurtz do whatever he wants outside. " road.
Guilliman and Lion looked at each other, and finally said in a deep voice: "No more lies, Ryan, and no more vicious secrets like this."
"I agree." Ryan said: "I will let my warriors cooperate with you. Let's search for Kurt together."
...
After ending the call with Liu Haodong, Wei Dalong led the entire company on a cautious patrol.
Macragge belongs to Guilliman, and Curze was created by Llane, and has little to do with him.
Besides, Wei Dalong has long passed the age of working hard for his life, and he will no longer think about taking risks for the sake of superiority.
A message suddenly came from the communicator, asking the patrol team around Barim Square to strengthen their vigilance and search all passages leading to Barim Square.
"In Barrim Square? That's not close to us. Coze shouldn't come to us." Wei Dalong breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Shizhong, who had been following Wei Dalong, relaxed a little after hearing this. Curze's arrival had a great impact. Wei Dalong could see that on the road a few kilometers away, two war dog-class Titans cooperated with the ground troops to search for Curze.
Just when Wei Dalong was rejoicing, the communicator suddenly rang, which was a battle arrangement message from the First Chapter Commander Auguston.
The combat information showed Wei Dalong's company, and asked them to investigate one by one towards Barem Square.
Only then did Wei Dalong realize that what he subconsciously thought was not far away was different from what the world thought was not far away.
Xiangjiang is not big in the first place, and it doesn't take long to get anywhere. Wei Dalong subconsciously thinks that more than ten kilometers away is very far.
But people like Auguston who live in interstellar civilization obviously don't think so.
"The order has come, let us go." Wei Dalong said with a dark face.
"Then..." Huang Shizhong looked at Wei Dalong and did not say what he wanted to say, but how could Wei Dalong not understand what Huang Shizhong wanted to say?
"It may be more dangerous if you don't obey instructions during war." Wei Dalong explained.
Huang Shizhong nodded to express his understanding, and then asked quietly: "Do you think it's because Liu Haodong beat Auguston that this guy deliberately made things difficult for us?"
"No!" Wei Dalong shook his head and said, "Auguston may not be a good person. , but his ability as a wartime commander is still quite outstanding. I have heard many stories about his deeds. "
You have to obey Auguston's orders, otherwise what will be the price of losing your life on the battlefield? Wei Dalong doesn't want to go. Guess.
Fortunately, as the company commander, he can choose the method and speed to reach the destination area.
Before that, Wei Dalong could pretend not to notice the message and continue to patrol for a certain distance so that he could get there later.
The group continued to patrol, but as soon as they passed a corner, Wei Dalong immediately waved everyone to stop.
Without him, broken corpses were scattered around the corner. Judging from the paint on the power armor on the broken corpses, there were Ultramarines and Dark Angels among the corpses.
Wei Dalong immediately felt that the sweat glands all over his body were secreting sweat instinctively. The city of Macragge was so big, why did they just let them touch it?
"Boom, snap, snap..."
A series of sounds of falling objects made Wei Dalong's hair stand on end and he immediately turned to the direction of the source of the sound.
There was no one there, just a broken body still rolling and bleeding on the ground.
"Alert! Attack any suspicious target immediately!" Wei Dalong roared at the top of his lungs.
call!
Another sound of wind blew.
"Crash..."
The beheaded corpses were scattered on the ground again.
"Damn it!" Wei Dalong gritted his teeth and said angrily.
These subordinates were all the officers given to him by Liu Haodong to prepare for the second establishment of the army and the division into battle groups. He felt distressed if any of them died. In these two attacks, nearly 10 people had died.
"Stay close to each other and don't scatter." Wei Dalong ordered again.
The remaining soldiers immediately gathered in small groups for defense.
"Has anyone seen the attacker?" Wei Dalong shouted.
No one answered.
He saw a black shadow flash out of the corner of his eye, and before he could tell what was going on, he immediately shouted: "I got you!"
The plasma pistol accurately shot the black shadow that suddenly appeared, and the black shadow fell to the ground.
"Hit?" Wei Dalong said in surprise.
The group of battle brothers closest to the black shadow immediately stepped forward to check and found that the body hit by their company commander was a corpse with half of its head cut off. Judging from the logo on the power armor, it was still a member of their company. He immediately shouted Said: "Company commander, he is ours!"
"What?" Wei Dalong stepped forward quickly.
But before he could reach the front, the battle brothers who inspected the corpse saw four grenades attached to the corpse. Before he could say anything, the grenades exploded.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Four consecutive explosions knocked Wei Dalong back two steps before he could walk over. Most of the battle brothers who were checking the corpse were killed on the spot.
There was another roar and sound of fighting behind him, and Wei Dalong immediately raised his power sword and chased after him.
But when he rushed over, only the broken bodies of the two teams were left on the ground.
"Duelei Laomu!" Wei Dalong roared: "Get closer to the tank!"
How long has it been? Nearly half of his company has been lost!
Taking off his helmet, Wei Dalong protruded a long breath of green energy. The green energy surrounded his body and moved as he moved.
During this period, the black shadow appeared again, and this time Curze did not hide. He rushed into the moving Space Marines as fast as he could.
When they discovered the attacking Coze, the Space Marines who were supposed to be sharpshooters all fired explosive shells and plasma as if they were afraid of him. They all grazed Coze's body and none of them hit him.
The battle brothers who raised their melee weapons were like chopping melons and vegetables in front of Coze. Coze killed more than twenty people in a row again, and then disappeared on the other side of the tank.
This time, Wei Dalong did not attack Koz again. Instead, he raised his hand and fired five shots into the sky with his plasma pistol. Then he continued to inhale and exhale, causing a circle of green poisonous miasma to surround him.
Then Wei Dalong exhaled towards the street on his side, and a long line of light green mist spurted out from his mouth, floating on the street and rolling gently in the air.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
The deliberately made heavy footsteps came erratically from all directions, making it impossible to tell from which direction Coz would launch his next attack, and keeping those who heard it highly nervous.
Although they knew that this was the footsteps deliberately created by Curze, no one could ignore the threat posed by Curze. The corpses all over the ground proved the power of the original body.
Wei Dalong knew that they couldn't deal with Kurtz, but he was not ready to sit still and wait for death, and continued to spray light green poisonous miasma around him.
While feeling nervous, Wei Dalong looked at Huang Shizhong, a young man who was very loyal to him. He didn't know what he was thinking, but suddenly said to Huang Shizhong: "Xigui, we are dead this time. Will you regret coming with me?"
Xigui is Huang Shizhong's nickname.
Huang Shizhong shook his head and said: "Boss, after I met you, you took such good care of me. How could I regret following you? That's so inhumane."
"I may not see you again. There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time." Wei Dalong knew what the consequences would be if he told this matter, maybe he would die, but he just felt uncomfortable and unhappy now.
"At this time?" Huang Shizhong said speechlessly: "Boss, life and death are at stake! Is now the right time to talk?"
"There is no more suitable time than now, and this matter has been pressing on my heart for a long time. I think you should "I know." Wei Dalong gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you curious about my nickname? My real nickname is 'Big Mouth Dragon'!"
Huang Shizhong, who was originally panicked and alert, was suddenly stunned. Long-lasting memories came flooding back, full of humiliation and unforgettable hatred.
"Big-mouthed dragon? This nickname..." Huang Shizhong looked at Wei Dalong in surprise and asked, "Is it the big-mouthed dragon I think of? Are you the big-mouthed dragon that ruined my family?" "Is
it the big-mouthed dragon you think of ?" Zuilong, but it wasn't me who caused your family to die." Wei Dalong argued: "I was already dead at that time, and my subordinates did what they did just to gain power."
"You were the one who jumped out of the window and escaped at that time? Huang Shizhong asked tremblingly.
Now that he has said it, Wei Dalong no longer hides it, "It's me."
"Hahahaha..." Huang Shizhong suddenly laughed miserably: "I always thought that recognizing a thief as a father was just a plot on TV, but I didn't expect that it actually happened in reality. In my case, I was so stupid! I actually
considered the person who ruined my family to be the boss? She's not good, she's always thinking about me as her first love, and that's why we rekindled our relationship." Wei Dalong's words felt feeble.
"Fight the street!" Huang Shizhong swung his sword towards Wei Dalong with hatred, using all his strength and without reservation.
Regardless of whether what Wei Dalong said was true or not, from Huang Shizhong's perspective, it was impossible for him to forgive Wei Dalong for ruining his family.
When the remaining Space Marines saw Huang Shizhong attacking Wei Dalong, they immediately wanted to stop Huang Shizhong.
Wei Dalong turned sideways to avoid the sword, and then stopped his subordinates who wanted to protect him as the company commander. He solemnly said to Huang Shizhong: "I know you want to kill me. The matter is still unclear, but I am not being killed." If you don't fight back, if you meet me again in the future, as long as you have the ability to kill me, I will have no complaints, but I will let you go three times and treat it as if I have repaid you and your family of three."
Just before they broke up . At this moment, Koze once again entered the crowd from the other end of the tank where he disappeared just now, ghostly and erratic, killing the remaining twenty or so battle brothers in less than three seconds.
Except for Huang Shizhong, who was full of hatred, and Wei Dalong, who was concentrating.
"Living may be more interesting to you." Coz's voice was hoarse and low, and his figure disappeared in a flash, leaving only the echoing voice, "This is a reward."
Only Wei Dalong and Man Man were left stunned. Huang Shizhong with a hateful face.
