The huge star castle is like a dead starfish, close to the orbit of the planet, surrounded by dead warship wrecks and relics.

New badab is not only the nest of red pirates, but also the pirate activity center of the great vortex Star area and even the whole star region. It integrates many functions such as black market, mercenary market and slave market. In a sense, it can even be said to be the busiest trade port in the whole star region.

It is also special in that it is not completely located in sub space as many worlds of the eye of terror. In fact, the region where new badab is located is a crack node between sub space and the physical universe, which makes the region not only enjoy the convenient navigation of sub space, but also unlike those dangerous sub space.

In such an important place, there are naturally many defense forces. At least six cruisers are parked on both sides of the star harbor, and hundreds of destroyers and frigates are cruising in a wide area, just like small fish around Leviathan.

The weapons array on the star castle is also ready, and the scanning array constantly scans the debris floating in the dark.

The pupil of hell has been strengthened and armed for many times, and its overall firepower is stronger than that of battleships. However, due to structural problems, the firepower layout is relatively scattered, but it is also enough to repel any incoming enemy.

At this time, there was a sudden disturbance in the distant sub space, and then a red warship jumped out of the void.

When it approached, the surrounding small warships dispersed one after another, and the star castle channel began to broadcast a series of praises and prayers. The weapons did not start, the bird divination scanning system did not open, and the void shield did not rise.

A series of communications fly through the void, verify identification marks, and exchange passwords.

Among all the communication channels, the buzzing low song is particularly harsh, because the warship is called death whisper and belongs to the 'blood forest' adnus.

He was once the second company commander of the mantis warrior. He was also the former battle leader who personally killed Rangers in the badab war. He went to black with Huron one way after the war and became a powerful chaos Lord - although he did not trust any evil gods alone.

Soon, the warship began to slow down outside the gravity port from the pupil of hell, the propeller changed from yellow to black, and then docked.

Before long, a thunder Eagle took off from the hangar of the warship and flew to the interior of the pupil of hell.

In the thunder eagle, adnus, sitting quietly, was bathed in a dark red. No one spoke except the bumpy air flow.

Twenty soldiers from his silent son war gang were on standby in their seats. Their scarlet armor was smeared with ashes, and sharp cones with sacred symbols hung from their shoulder armor.

These people are the former Mantis warriors. Now they have become terrible killers, but their past habits have not changed.

Mantis warriors were established in the Eighth Army Building in M34. They are sub groups of white scars, which were created to relieve the pressure in the great vortex area.

During the badaab war, the mantis warrior stood with the executioner and mourner on the side of the traitor's star claw.

The first recorded intervention of the loyal combat group took place in 904.m41. That year, the warship fanfire of the fire Eagle combat group was attacked and captured by the mantis warrior.

In 907.m41, when badab was besieged by the Empire, two loyal battalions were selected to investigate the world occupied by Mantis warriors and executioners.

In 912.m41, after the rebellion was suppressed and the star claws were almost wiped out, the mantis warriors were also defeated and disarmed, although finally they were given the understanding of the emperor and sent to launch a centennial atonement expedition.

But compared with the mourners, they were punished much more severely because they killed the battle head of the Ranger soldiers.

As the chief responsible person, the head of the mantis warrior war was deprived of his honor and armor, put into the death row of the trial court and spent the rest of his life in solitary confinement.

The other part of atonement, odeka, the mother star of the mantis warrior, was confiscated by the space sharks who fought as the loyal regiment in the war, and was eventually searched out.

Therefore, many Mantis warriors, knowing that the regiment had committed a serious crime and unwilling to accept cruel punishment, threw themselves into Huron's command and abandoned the light of the emperor.

Huron was also happy to receive these powerful soldiers.

There is a defect in the gene seed of the mantis warrior. The transplantation of its preset stomach does not play a normal role. When a mantis warrior enters a specific mental state, such as deep religious confession, the preset stomach gland will secrete a powerful neurotoxin that can permanently change the physiological function of a star warrior.

This poison will change these star soldiers' perception of time and space, increase their reaction speed to almost predictable levels, and make their power exceed the original limit.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the mantis warrior easily avoided almost before everything happened.

Unfortunately, this extraordinary gift needs a price - this change is irreversible. Over time, the vision of these star warriors will only focus on the target and not pay attention to other things. The mantis warriors call this mental state "war Ecstasy". Each company has one team to offer everything to the emperor and fall into trouble because of such faith These teams are called devout Mantis.

Adnus and his gang are a group of devout mantis, and their way to alleviate this defect is long-term silence and meditation, so outsiders can rarely see them speak or move.

But as long as they move, there will be a terrible bloodbath.

Adnus lowered his head and closed his eyes. The air around him shook with his silent prayer. He could feel the thunder Eagle slowing down.

The gunboat lowered its landing gear and docked on the deck. The fuselage trembled.

Adnus stood up first, and then the silent son stood up neatly.

In the sound of friction, the gunboat lowered the front take-off and landing pedal, and adnus glanced out.

"Let's go."

With the hatch wide open, adnus left the cabin and stepped into a light, followed by his brothers.

There are no other vehicles here except adenus' thunder eagle.

This is a huge hall, the edge is hidden in the dark, and three red pirates stand loosely on the deck waiting.

Adnus knew them. The three company commanders of Huron were responsible for the defense of the pupil of hell. The main one was the middle one, kelkus, the fourth company commander.

Generally, the third company commander Nasir Walter should also be here at this time.

But a week ago, he seemed to have something to do. He left with his ship, the tyrant's claw, as if he were going to do some big business.

Adnus didn't care about it. He hated the arrogant and rude guy, and understood the reason why Huron didn't bring that guy on this expedition - most of the time, he would only do bad things.

"Dear Lord adnus, welcome back."

With kelkus's compliments, his left and right company commanders also slightly bowed their heads.

Huron attaches great importance to and respects the champions and warriors under his command, and requires his subordinates to respect these champions. Therefore, although adnus is only the leader of a small war Gang, he can enjoy the etiquette second only to Huron in front of these company commanders.

In this regard, it is not just luck that Huron can gather such a powerful force in such a short time.

Adnus smiled.

"I also pay high tribute to you."

The words are very calm, and the sincerity is clearly visible.

"Is the patrol going well?"

"Everything is going well, there is nothing strange around, but the news of Nasir waterk suddenly interrupted."

Kelkus's scar on his mouth moved, and everyone knew that his relationship with the third company commander was very tense.

"Maybe he's busy."

"I guess so."

Adnus nodded, turned and walked towards the depths of the starcastle, with kelkus following him.

As they gradually approached the center of the starcastle, adnus realized that the power of sub space had penetrated most of the main structure of the starcastle, and the half fallen demons fled from the edge of his vision and hid in the dark to observe.

As he entered a main passage, adnus stopped

The buzz of power armor and the sound of armor boots stepping on the ground are accompanied by vibration.

In the passage, he met another "stranger" by chance.

Malik, the leader of the remaining black armor guards of the eighth legion, whose skin is as pale as a dead body, is gloomily wrapped in the Obsidian iron horse terminator. Stripped human skin and bones can be seen everywhere on the surface of armor, as well as the lightning pattern characteristic of the eighth Legion.

"Good morning, Lord adnus."

Marek's voice was hoarse.

"Although I'm very happy for your arrival, I didn't expect to meet here."

"Do we need to make an appointment in advance? I only show up where I need to."

Adnus glanced at kelkus.

"I'm needed here, aren't I?"

Marek didn't answer, but a different meaning flashed in kelkus's eyes.

"The master's court welcomes any warrior."

"I have something else to do, so I won't talk."

With that, Marek missed adnus' right side with heavy steps.

When he disappeared around the corner, adnus whispered.

"Keep an eye on him and his leather dealers. No matter what they do, report to me in time."

"Yes."
