Chapter 166: Holy Black Frenzy: The Emperor Champion of the Black Temple (Part 3)
[You wrapped yourself in the Pious Chain, holding the 'Black Sword' and turned away.]
[The many Astartes monks of the Black Templars looked at each other in silence.]
[Soon after, everything seemed to have never happened, and everyone in the regiment continued to train and rest as usual, preparing for the next expedition.]
[The only thing that has changed is the attitude of many auxiliary combatants toward you.]
[When you went to repair the damaged 'Armor of Faith', the technical sergeants and the chapter priests showed great enthusiasm to you. ]
[Your finely crafted power armor not only completed the repair quickly. ]
[You also received a gift carefully prepared by the technical sergeants, a bolt rifle blessed by a priest and equipped with a high-capacity drum.]
[You gladly accepted the gift from the other party. ]
[Just after you returned to the base with the bolt rifle, the gifts from the think tank brothers were handed over to you by the think tank director Horadrim.]
[An ancient iron halo, so that you, as the Emperor's champion, no longer have to worry about any threat from enemy long-range firepower. ]
[You hesitated for a moment, but still chose to accept the good intentions of the think tank brothers. ]
[In the fourth week, a piece of news from a Rogue Trader who has cooperated with the Black Templars for many years has attracted your attention.]
[In the Calixis sector of the Hazy Star Region, a rebellion closely related to psychic energy seems to be taking place on an unnamed planet. ]
[The expeditionary marshal Ludo Dus, who was still resting, obtained permission from the Grand Marshal to carry out this expedition.]
[A team of crusaders is about to go to the rebellious planet to quell the incident. ]
[You discussed with the think tank director Horadrim and decided to follow this crusader team to check it out.]
[Marshal Ludo Dus approved your request without hesitation. ]
[Soon after, a fast strike ship carrying you separated from the huge fleet of the Black Templar and headed for the target planet.]
[You unexpectedly met the leader of this crusader team, who turned out to be the castle lord you had fought with before.]
[He didn't show any special behavior when he saw you, he just showed you the necessary respect.]
[And the other party also introduced you, the Emperor's Champion, to the battle brothers in the Crusaders, a group of new bloods who had just joined the battle group. ]
[In the fifth week, the fast strike ship quickly rushed out of the subspace and entered the Calixis sector.]
[However, before you approached the target planet, several Tempest-class frigates from the Navy Empire quickly approached the attack ship and launched an attack with a terrifying laser array.]
[The war group servants that quickly attacked the ship immediately entered combat mode, and the void shields continued to block the attack of the laser array. ]
[The captain was unable to communicate effectively with the frigate, and the navigator in charge of navigation was unable to control his psychic power.]
[In the midst of chaos, you personally led the Crusaders to end the lives of the other side to prevent further damage.]
[You exchanged glances with the castle lord, who immediately went to the lower cabin to prepare the Thunderhawk transport plane.]
[You temporarily take over the entire fast strike ship as the Emperor's Champion.]
[You order the captain to lead his servants to guard the remaining navigators. If they show any signs of losing control, destroy them immediately.]
[At the same time, you also order the Astropaths not to use even a trace of psychic power unless they receive any instructions.]
[Immediately afterwards, the weapon array that quickly attacked the ship burst into terrifying bursts of fire.]
[The Tempest-class frigates were unable to resist and after being hit repeatedly, they all turned into metal wreckage in the cold void.]
[You led the Crusader Squad into the Thunderhawk transport plane.]
[The Thunderhawk transport plane piloted by the castle lord himself entered the void and quickly flew towards the target planet.]
[One hour later, the Thunderhawk transport plane landed on the surface of the planet.]
[As soon as you step out of the cabin, the cold rain and snow hit you in the face. ]
[You see a pillar of light emitting a faint golden light from the dark sky where a snowstorm is happening.]
[You can't help but open your eyes wide. ]
[You always thought that the legend that the Emperor's Champion could identify high-value targets actually came from intelligence within the Chapter and the Champion's own understanding of the enemy.]
[You didn't expect it to be so simple and crude. ]
[You once again determined the enemy's position.]
[You expressed your concerns to the castle lord in the snowy wind.]
[In the face of a rebellion that could engulf the entire planet, your little grudges are nothing. ]
["Once the Astropath and the Navigator use psychic power, they will lose control. This indicates that the nearby subspace is stirring up a terrifying wave... We must find a way to behead this psychic and find out the truth. We cannot rule out the possibility that he has already controlled the entire planet." You narrowed your eyes and said to the castle lord.]
[A hint of deep hatred for psychics seemed to flash across the other person's face.]
[He told you without hesitation that the Crusaders would create opportunities for you to decapitate the target, even if it meant sacrificing all of them.]
[You nod heavily toward the other person. ]
[You put on a metal helmet decorated with a crown of thorns, and with your arms wrapped in pious chains, you picked up the bolt rifle on your back.]
[The entire Crusader team quickly follows your steps and runs towards the target location. ]
[As you get closer, the ice and snow storm surrounding you is gradually getting stronger. ]
[You suddenly remembered the various signs about psychic energy that the think tank director Horadrim had told you, including the statement that using psychic energy would lower the ambient temperature.]
[You glance at the surrounding icy weather again.]
[You think this is probably not a cruel weather phenomenon formed by nature, but a special phenomenon caused by an extremely powerful psychic who uses his psychic power wantonly. ]
[A huge, staggering team gradually appears in front of you. Countless mortals from the native planets and the Astra Militarum have lost their minds and become flesh and blood puppets of unknown psychics.]
[You and the castle lord raised your bolters without hesitation.]
[However, the dozen or so new bloods following you seemed to hesitate for a moment, and they were unwilling to point their guns at the mortals in front of them.]
["The first lesson for becoming an Astartes monk is... learn to discard unnecessary mercy when you step onto the battlefield! How long do you think these poor mortals can survive under such cruel weather conditions?" You raised your hand to stop the castle lord from erupting in anger.]
["Once the psychic power's erosion and control over mortals occurs, it is basically irreversible. In other words, when they encounter that unknown psychic, they have already lost their precious lives…"]
[You held the bolt rifle and glanced at the silent new bloods, and slowly raised the 'black sword' with your other hand.]
["The only thing we can do is to chop off the head of that heretic traitor with our own hands and avenge the humans on this planet!"]
["Astartes, follow me and charge!"]
["For the Emperor——"]
Thank you for your support!
Alas, what happened last night disturbed my mood and the writing is a bit messy.
I am adjusting my mindset. Everyone should eat and drink, and making money to support a family is the most important thing in life. Everything else is just passing clouds.
