Boom boom boom——
The landing gear of the Thunderhawk transport planes were heavily attached to the heavy armor of the strike cruiser.
The Terminators, armed with bolt guns and power swords, quickly activated their magnetic boots.
They were tall and slowly stepped out of the cabin, facing the ubiquitous radiation in the cold void and landed on the outer deck of the strike cruiser.
At this moment, Rorschach, whose skull helmet was glowing, raised his head slightly.
He stared at the huge bridge structure that was hundreds of meters high within the eyepiece range and immediately gave orders through the communication channel.
"The entire guard will be divided into teams of ten. One team will go to the middle and lower cabins to control the engine power of the entire ship. One team will go to the upper cabin to look for traces of this Astartes regiment. The rest will follow me to the bridge."
"Remember, no matter what kind of survivors you meet on the ship, if there is any unusual movement, shoot first and ask questions later. Do you understand?"
Rorschach's cold words slowly echoed in everyone's ears.
The Weepers in Terminator armor had no extra words to say.
They just shook their metal helmets and then immediately carried out their respective missions with swift movements.
Boom boom boom——
A minute later, Rorschach, strolling on the outer armor, led five Terminators to the entrance of a maintenance passage under the bridge structure.
And as he raised his hand slightly.
A Weeper driving a Terminator armor stepped forward and began to try to crack the opening procedure of the metal gate.
Beep, beep!
As the warning light in the middle of the metal gate turned from red to green, a large amount of white gas quickly escaped from the gap of the upward-opening hatch.
Rorschach and others entered the strike cruiser of unknown origin as soon as possible.
"There are no emergency lights in the ship's passageway, the air is relatively thin, and the temperature is below zero. My Lord Primarch, if the people on this ship do not take the necessary measures, then it can be determined that the mortal crew has been completely annihilated... However, the Astartes have another say."
At this moment, a Weeper who was driving a Terminator armor and entered the ship's passage ahead of Rorschach first raised his metal eyepiece and scanned around.
Then, the other party spoke in a deep voice to Rorschach and others through the communication channel.
Rorschach, wearing a skull helmet, also obtained a series of scanning information through the auspicious device inside the helmet.
He grasped the Blood Scythe with green light lingering on the sharp blade with both hands, and drove the power armor to pass the other Terminators.
"I haven't sensed any fluctuations in Chaos Psychic Energy yet, so it's most likely some mysterious alien race causing trouble. Immediately notify the other battle brothers to be alert and explore this place as if it were a space wreck!"
Rorschach hadn't finished speaking yet.
He came to the front of the entire team.
He walked fearlessly into the depths of the pitch-black ship passage.
Naturally, the wailers did not have any emotional fluctuations.
They held up the bolter with one hand, and with the other ceramic steel hand they grasped the power sword, and quickly followed the Primarch's back.
Not long after, Rorschach and others, who had just stepped out of the ship's passage, successfully entered an ancient hall full of remnants of prayer ceremonies.
And through the edges of the hall, there are prayer clauses hanging down and the emblem of the regiment consisting of a black cross on a white background.
Rorschach immediately knew the true origin of this Astartes expeditionary force!
"Black Cross? This is the expeditionary force of the Black Templars!"
"According to my understanding, a Black Templars expeditionary force has a minimum of fifty Astartes and a maximum of hundreds or even thousands... The combat effectiveness of these fanatics is not something that an ordinary Astartes regiment can compete with."
At this moment, Rorschach, wearing a skull helmet, seemed to take a deep breath.
He quickly turned his head and said to a Weeper beside him in a deep voice,
"Notify the other battle brothers and inform them of the identity of the Black Templar. Afterwards, keep in touch at regular intervals to prevent any other unexpected situations."
And after the wailer completed the communication.
Rorschach immediately activated the power armor and led everyone to continue rushing towards the bridge.
About ten minutes later.
They successfully entered the empty bridge without encountering any obstructions or accidents.
Everyone looked around, always on guard.
However, all they saw were mechanical devices that relied on stored energy to perform data analysis and were emitting light green projections.
However, at every location, not even one of the most common auxiliary robot servants was seen.
"There was not a trace of Chaos Energy fluctuations, nor was there any sign of equipment being damaged. Not even a drop of blood was found... Could it be that, as Kahulangi said, everyone inside the ship disappeared out of thin air?"
At this moment, Rorschach, who had been patrolling the entire bridge in his magnetic boots, slowly stopped on the metal floor.
A fleeting trace of doubt gradually emerged on his bronze face hidden inside the skull helmet.
"Stop moving forward! I order you to stop moving forward immediately!"
However, at this moment, a Weeper at the entrance of the bridge hatch quickly raised his grenade launcher and issued a low warning to the dark passage outside.
In an instant, there was a roar of explosives that suddenly illuminated the surrounding environment.
Rorschach, who reacted the fastest, suddenly changed direction.
He tried his best to drive the power armor, and charged into the ship's passage like a predatory beast!
The next second, he was within the range of Rorschach's eyepiece.
A human figure with his head completely blown apart by a bomb fell heavily onto the metal floor.
Judging from the naval officer uniform and rank on the other person, he is most likely the mortal captain of the strike cruiser!
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Rorschach's charge came to an abrupt halt.
Several other Weepers also quickly drove the Terminator armor into the ship's passage.
They quickly passed by Rorschach and began to check the headless marine corpse lying on the ground not far away.
The weeper who had just chosen to shoot hesitated for a moment.
The other party immediately said to Rorschach's tall back:
"I'm sorry, Master Primarch, I should have spared his life, but I vaguely felt that his mental state was not right, so..."
"Battle Brother, this is not your problem. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what you did..."
Rorschach took a deep breath and turned to the other party and spoke lightly.
However, at this time, when the other wailers just arrived in front of the headless corpse.
A large and strange existence like a green cloud suddenly entered the middle of the passage from inside the corpse.
Then, in the blink of an eye, it quickly penetrated into the Terminator armor of a Weeper!
Thank you for your support!
