Chapter 409, Who will judge? Governor Gu!
There is one thing that Blevins and the others are not sure of.
What would Martins think if he knew that they were not dead, had been wandering around for so many years, and had even become pirates?
They couldn't believe it even more about the alliance.
Hence, there has been a series of recent activities.
Of course, Blevins did not initially intend to make the situation the way it is now. The best result is to be able to sneak into the Raging Owl Star and see Martins secretly.
But obviously, they don't have this chance.
The current Raging Owl Star has a developed star observatory, dedicated psychics on duty, a defensive zone with the fortress starport as the core, and countless armed space stations and firepower platforms as auxiliary. The surface is also equipped with missiles that can cover the entire planet. Anti-orbital firepower, there is an Alliance fleet cruising outside...
With their current conditions, they really couldn't sneak in.
They can only move around on the periphery, moving around, and they have reached the current situation.
It's not impossible.
The damage they can cause is relatively limited. It's okay to fight ordinary big soldiers, but the Lion Tank is not an ordinary tank made by some world. They currently lacked the weapons on hand to counter this heavy Astra Militarum armor. The Lion's armor cannot be penetrated by bolters and cannot be cut by chainswords, but it can kill a Space Marine with one shot.
In the battle in the Red Arrow Galaxy, they were able to do it mainly because they caught the alliance forces by surprise. At that time, the alliance marines had no idea what opponent they were facing, and they still fought with the mentality of fighting conventional pirates.
But this is not easy.
Blevins and others left no clues. For them, the best effect is not to be discovered, and then they can take the initiative and contact Martins.
The entire team quickly began to move.
At the moment, if they really work together, it is not completely impossible to break through, but they might have to sacrifice the lives of some soldiers.
Run quickly!
There are hundreds of such people.
Blevins didn't want to be surprised, and he didn't want the two sides to start fighting without even saying a word. No matter which side loses some people, it is a result he does not want to see.
...
Of course he didn't come alone, there were fifty new Phoenix warriors accompanying him.
The original initiative was destroyed, and now they were the lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Martins quickly found the abandoned landing craft, and then quickly locked in some possible locations based on the time of abandonment, the surrounding terrain, and his knowledge of Blevins.
Just waiting for Martins to arrive.
There are only eight of them. Who can fight against such armed regular imperial troops?
There are actually many possibilities for this, but it doesn't matter. Martins can mobilize manpower to explore and seal every place.
Martins' level is certainly no worse than theirs. Moreover, Martins still has a large number of troops at his disposal, not to mention the reliable soldiers of the Raging Bear Legion. Even those Saturnians, even if the governor is dead, must fight under the banner of the Empire and at the forefront of the Alliance army. Under duress, driven by the true Emperor's Angels. They are locals and know the local situation better.
The team's first decision was to carve out a bloody path and break out of the encirclement.
To be honest, they were disturbed.
In the past thirty years, they have seen such opponents basically go around.
Their next orders all depend on the outcome of the trial.
That was until someone witnessed Blevins setting out on sentry duty.
The witnesses did not launch an attack. The order they received was just for reconnaissance. If they saw it, they could just send back the intelligence.
Even from their perspective, the Raging Bear Legion can be regarded as a powerful Astra Militarum unit. To fight out of their encirclement, the difficulty is not at the same level as the planetary defense force that wiped out Saturn before.
However, Martins obviously would not be polite to him.
It doesn't matter now, they can even choose to break out actively, even if half of them die, there is still a chance. When Martins arrived with a bunch of new phoenixes, they didn't even have a chance to escape.
Moreover, the movements are much sharper.
Even though there were some elite mortals wearing feedback power armor, when they quickly broke through, they had no position, lacked anti-armor weapons, and couldn't open cans, so they naturally ran out smoothly.
Even if they choose to break out now and half of them die, how can they escape Martins' pursuit in this desert?
While waiting uneasily, Martins arrived.
This group of angry bear legions has clearly traces of melt weapons, plasma weapons, and heavy bolters in their hands. They are also generally equipped with some armored vehicles. The most powerful one is naturally the Lion tank.
Martins arrived much faster than expected.
Forget it, just stay where you are and wait for Martins to arrive.
These things can threaten the Space Marines. Anything that hits them will be fatal.
The traitors did not take the initiative to attack because it was pointless. So what if they killed the witnesses? If there's a fight, there's a death, there's even just a disappearance, their hiding place will be exposed without a doubt.
However, after careful consideration, they gave up on this first reaction.
Seeing that the Astra Militarum had no intention of shrinking the encirclement, but only further strengthened the blockade, they roughly understood what the other party meant.
However, they found that they were surrounded.
Even, in addition to the Phoenix, there is also a group of elite warriors. Although these people are just normal people in terms of body shape, and are not as visually oppressive as the generally two-meter-two tall guys, they are definitely not to be dismissed casually. Each of them is wearing feedback power armor and carrying the alliance with him. symbols of.
However, their idea quickly went bankrupt.
But now, the Alliance forces who have arrived have a pretty good idea of what they may be facing.
When this group of people, led by Martins in a Terminator, began to shrink the encirclement and approach their hiding place, every traitor knew clearly that there was no need to fight.
But despite this, they didn't relax too much.
They set up a small defensive position at the entrance of the sand cave where they were hiding.
When Martins and his men approached this place, a gun opened fire, hitting the open space along the path of Martins and others, which was a warning.
Martins didn't stop for a moment.
His roaring voice penetrated the defense line through the helmet's breathing mask.
"Blevins! I know you're in there! Come out and see me!" The eight traitors were restrained.
It's not that this sound is so scary, it's just... Brother, there are so many outsiders around you, don't you know all about your voice?
Blevins himself was caught off guard.
Am I not the taint of the Phoenix?
Why are you so loud?
Are you afraid that others won't know?
Before they could react from their daze, Martins spoke again: "You have betrayed the empire, betrayed the battle group, and betrayed all the battle brothers who sacrificed their lives in the Atonement Crusade! You traitors! Deserters! You actually returned If you dare to appear in front of me! Get out of here and die!"
...
One of the traitors said to Blevins next to him: "Why don't you get out quickly? If he continues to shout like this, the battle group will be disgraced."
After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed, as if it was Martins who turned traitor.
Blevins didn't expect it either.
Even just now, the picture he imagined was that Martins only brought the Phoenix Space Marines to the entrance of the cave, and then they just gathered in a circle to talk secretly. No matter whether the outcome of the negotiation is life or death, at least the matter will be resolved within the war group.
How could he have thought that he, a traitor, still wanted to keep his family's scandal from being publicized? It was better for Martins, who was howling all over the world!
He had no choice but to walk out.
No weapons, because it makes no difference.
Under Martins' gaze, he stepped forward and made a friendly gesture: "I want to talk to you..."
What greeted him was Martins' fist!
The power armor deliberately stomped on the ground, and Martins quickly came to him and punched him in the face.
The power of the Terminator's power armor was so great that it knocked him unconscious. When he came to his senses, he was already lying on the ground, and Martins was stepping on his chest with one foot.
He reached behind Blevins' head with both hands, pressed a buckle on the back of the head and both sides, and with force, he took off Blevins' helmet and exposed it. face.
It was a face of vicissitudes of life.
Martins also took off the mask of the Terminator armor, and the two finally looked face to face.
There was a complicated expression in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger:
"Blevins, it is indeed you..." Martins lowered his head, and their faces got closer: "Why didn't you die in Carrocaster?"
Blevins actually smiled: "Death? Why?"
"You, and those shrinking traitors in the cave, your existence is a humiliation to the war group!"
"Yes, we are a shame. But are we the ones who really should be shamed? The Atonement Expedition! The Atonement Expedition! That means we will all die! Why? Why? Is it possible that the Phoenix Birds have not made enough contributions in these countless years? Isn't there enough?! Why are we all in one group just because of the Redbud Rebellion?"
"What's more, is Bauhinia wrong? Are we wrong? Wrong, isn't it Iron Armor?"
"Why is it us who are wrong? Because we lost? If we lose, we are wrong, right?"
Blevins roared these words, making Martins even angrier.
He punched him again.
Blevins was immediately beaten to death.
But this was Martins saving his strength.
Otherwise, the naked head will be smashed into a rotten watermelon under the heavy punch of the Terminator, even the skull of a Space Marine that is much harder than ordinary people.
After punching Blevins into silence, Martins said: "There's no point in sophistry, Blevins, I'm not here to talk to you about the past today, I'm here to cleanse the shame of the war group. You damn traitors brought judgment!"
"Whatever you say, it's right to win anyway. Now you win."
Blevins said with blood on his face, but after a moment, his expression still turned to hesitation, even a little pleading: "You can do whatever you want to me, judge me, and I will accept any sentence." . All sins are attributed to me, but others...let them go. They were all bewitched by me at the beginning. Now they can return to the battle group. They are all the best warriors..."
"When did you learn to daydream?" Martins said, "Phoenix is always the most loyal hero. We accepted the Empire's judgment, we survived the Atonement Crusade, and we withstood every test the Emperor gave us. , and paid countless prices for it. Now that we have cleared everything, you cowards who deserted, gave up your honor, and betrayed your blood relatives during the Atonement Crusade, still dare to dream of continuing to be with us? It is simply ridiculous! "
"Ha..." Blevins sneered, but on this matter, he couldn't say anything else.
However, he has not forgotten the most important thing about this meeting.
"But I still have to warn you, it's not just us who are alive."
"What do you mean?"
Blevins lowered his voice and said at a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Zhong Jihua and the others are still alive. They believed in Chaos, merged and accepted other traitors. Now, they call themselves the 'Ashes of the Dead' …"
Hearing this, Martins was shocked.
"The Ashes Dead...are they Zhong Jihua's group?"
"Yes."
It took Martins a while to digest this information.
He said sarcastically to Blevins: "Then it seems that you traitors are also better than each other, right?"
Blevins turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Whatever you say."
Martins grabbed the upper edge of his breastplate and lifted him up. Then he turned his head and shouted towards the hole: "The rest of you, come out! Put down the weapons in your hands and take off your clothes." of armor, surrender unconditionally. I will take you all back to the Chapter's monastery."
"You will be interrogated there, and you must truthfully account for every crime you committed after your shameful betrayal of the Empire and the Chapter. Then, you will receive a fair verdict and pay for the thirty years you are missing. Pay the due price for the remaining years of the atonement expedition, for your desertion, and for all the new sins you committed after leaving the battle group."
Blevins spoke with difficulty, "Stop talking nonsense. You are the chapter leader now. Just say what you want. Otherwise, who else is qualified to judge all this?"
"Governor Gu."
"...what?"
Blevins was confused.
