Chapter 254: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

"Do you know me?"

Conrad Curze frowned when he heard Kenmei Isayama ask "Can you see my future?" ɱ

"No, how did you know?"

Conrad Curze had predicted today's rebellion and his own death when he was a child. It was too big and basically no one would believe him.

He only remembered that he told Fulgrim, his mentor, but he also remembered that he was severely reprimanded by Rogal Dorn, the Primarch of the Imperial Fists, because of this matter.

So Conrad Curze never mentioned this matter to outsiders since then.

"Of course Fulgrim told me. I am an old acquaintance of "Perfect Phoenix".

Kenmei Isayama saw that this guy didn't take the bait, and although he was a little disappointed, it was expected.

Batman Conrad Curze has a high IQ, and it is not so easy to make him fall into the trap.

Kenmei Isayama is best at talking nonsense. As soon as he opens his mouth, he directly establishes a relationship to let Conrad Curze know that he is actually his own person.

Of course, if he didn't know that this guy was unkind, Ken Isayama would have wanted to call him "nephew".

There's no need to stare at Ken Isayama so closely, at least remove the restraints on his body. It's really terrible to have only consciousness but no perception.

"Heh."

Conrad Curze looked at him without any ripples in his eyes.

It's obviously not so easy for him to accept the reality that this guy is his own.

Besides, Ken Isayama's performance in building the bridge was too outstanding before, and he was too rebellious.

As a result, Conrad Curze didn't believe this guy at all, every word he said.

"It turns out that there are guys like you in the Martian Mechanicus."

It's also rare.

People who are good at flattering are not worth mentioning.

"Let me tell you another interesting thing."

"My fleet is coming soon."

Conrad Curze was the first group sent by Horus to arrive at the 500 World System. Speed ​​is of the essence. Since there was only one small destroyer, it didn't get close.

This Batman, he still sneaked in.

But when all the large-scale warships of the [Midnight Lords] arrive, it will be the death of the remaining [Ultramarines].

The fleet of the Empire's Eighth Legion [Midnight Lords] is about to arrive in this area and will soon carry out a cleanup of these remaining Ultramarines.

Isayama Kenmei suddenly understood why those [Word Bearers] were so low-key and did not take revenge on the [Ultramarines] in the first place.

Good guy, now he knows the reason.

It turned out that they wanted to let the three fleets join together and attack the [Ultramarines] at the same time.

Led by the [Midnight Lords], the [Word Bearers] and the [World Eaters] three legions are in a siege and annihilate the [Ultramarines] together.

"You haven't done anything on the [Glory of Macragge], have you?"

Isayama Kenmei frowned, suddenly remembering the style of the [Midnight Lords].

"Who knows?"

Conrad Curz did not answer this question directly.

But seeing the look of the starling, Kenmei Isayama knew that the worst reality he had thought of had already appeared.

The style of the [Midnight Lords] was insidious and cunning. The behavior of these guys could be summarized in one word: "Old Six".

The most inhuman legion was the Eighth Legion [Midnight Lords].

Kenmei Isayama still remembered seeing a character's description of the [Midnight Lords] at the end of history. He must have suffered a lot from it, so he could write such a touching text.

"Usually a [Midnight Lords] Space Marine will try all the insidious and secret means he knows before a tough battle."

Who can be sure that Konrad Curze, who has the ability to retreat unscathed after going deep into the enemy ship, went directly to find Kenmei Isayama as soon as he landed on this battleship.

Maybe he had already made all the necessary measures and then came to find him.

For example, a certain amount of explosives were installed in every corner of the [Glory of Macragge] to carry out the destruction activities.

As the saying goes, if the Macragge's Glory, the flagship of the entire Ultramarines, is captured, the remaining Ultramarines will be nothing more than a pile of loose sand.

When the enemy's deployment is fully effective, the entire Ultramarines fleet will fall into an abyss of no return.

The previous Word Bearer Kor Phaeron also held the same attitude, so he brought a fleet to directly attack the Ultramarines' headquarters.

And Robert Guilliman's survival rate in Conrad Curze's hands will hardly exceed 20%.

Moreover, their previous battle orders were to separate the Ultramarines fleet into their respective areas and then attack the Word Bearers.

Completely dispersing the troops is equivalent to cutting off one's own arm in the fierce battle that will follow.

Damn it, the appearance that was originally saved by Ken Isayama will now be exhausted immediately because of the enemy's reinforcements.

This is not only a failure to start the battle, but also a case of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind.

The sixth guy, [Midnight Lord], actually wants to be the jackal.

If Kenmei Isayama doesn't deal with [Midnight Lord], then his plan to reach Terra with the help of the loyalists may fail.

Wait, if the order in front of this guy is to bring him back from here and bring him to Horus, it doesn't seem impossible.

Now that Horus has cleared out the loyalists, he should be heading to Terra's headquarters soon.

Maybe taking the traitors' battleship would be faster than finding the Blood Angels and Dark Angels who are still missing over there.

It seems that according to the current situation, these traitors are more reliable.

Isayama Nomei's situation suddenly opened up.

That’s weird!

The rest of his actions after going to the traitor's hands can only be said to be based on the other party's face. There is a high probability that he will be directly placed under house arrest and become a bargaining chip for the rebels to obtain more weapons and ammunition.

He didn't want to close the dark room.

The most important thing now is how to inform Robert Guilliman of his location, and then let the [Ultramarines] come to rescue him quickly.

The ambitious [Midnight Lord] was almost ready to fall on him. The situation was so critical that it could no longer be delayed.

Conrad Coates seemed to enjoy watching the prey trying to break free from his hands, but was unable to do anything.

"I will show you the destruction of the Ultramarines."

Although Horus said that he could not be allowed to inflict any physical abuse on the sage, he did not say that he could not suffer a heavy psychological blow.

It's not bad to pursue physical torture. But mental torture was also close to his heart.

"You switched from [Word Bearers] to [Ultramarines] and want to be a loyalist?"

Conrad Coates saw Isayama Nomei closing his eyes and thought he was out of sight.

But the more this kind of thing arouses his inner excitement, the more energetic he becomes if you don't pay attention to him.

"You can never escape our grasp."

"hehe."

Isayama Kenmei sneered at him disdainfully in response to Conrad Coates.

"Why do you think you have completely convinced me now?"

"?"

Now all your body and brain can move, and all other external connection devices have been destroyed by Conrad Coates.

With Isayama Norimei in his current state, how could he possibly be able to notify those Ultramarines to come for reinforcements? It was clearly impossible to do.

Conrad Coates just wanted to tell you where did you get the confidence? But suddenly he had a bad feeling for no reason.

Isayama Norimei does not have a conventional method to notify the [Ultimate Soldiers], but in addition to conventional methods, there is still the option of unconventional methods that can be used.

Unconventional method, but he himself also needs to take considerable risks, so he hesitates there.

But now the situation is so critical that we can no longer wait any longer.

In short, it is self-destruction!

An item that Isayama Nomei opened from the treasure chest of a senior officer of the [Word Bearers], that is [Explosive Rock]

The explosion of explosive rocks requires that the magma ore body be actively exposed to the air, and the components inside will begin to activate before an explosion occurs.

In other words, it cannot be used without breaking the outer container.

However, [Explosive Rock] is recognized as a piece of equipment because it is stored in the system's backpack, which makes it much more maneuverable.

Many steps can be simplified at once. For example, there is no need to break the container of [Explosive Rock]. You can skip this step and use it directly.

The explosion of that thing is so powerful that it can completely blow up a Leman Russ tank.

Although Isayama Nomei doesn't know where he is now, it only takes one explosion to let the [Ultimate Warriors] know where he is now.

Although the [Macragge's Glory] is huge, the entire battleship is aware of the movement caused by the explosion of the [Explosive Rock].

Someone will naturally come for reinforcements by then.

"Do you want to use this equipment?"

Isayama Nomei did not hesitate and immediately chose "yes"

Give it a try and your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle.

"You come on the road with me."

When Isayama Nomei said this, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Conrad Coates knew what he really meant when he said these words.

"Damn it."

With the reflex nerves of the original body, within a second of noticing something was wrong, the body reacted instantly.

There was a flash of light in Conrad Coates's sight. The sage of the Martian Mechanicus who was lying on the ground was immediately enveloped in the flames that spewed out from nowhere.

Moreover, it is surrounded by a very small and confined space, making this range of damage even more severe.

"suicide?"

Konrad Coates gritted his teeth, and these words appeared in his mind at the last second before being swallowed up by the fire.

The violent flames showed the terrifying power of [Explosive Rock], and the area was reduced to a sea of ​​fire almost instantly.

And the other side.

"Damn it, haven't you found it yet?"

Due to the delay in finding Isayama Nomei who was taken away by Conrad Curze, Robert Guilliman was extremely anxious.

Robert Guilliman was so angry that he was visibly furious, but suddenly the entire battleship seemed to be hit directly by a missile, causing a considerable violent explosion.

So much so that Robert Guilliman suspected that he had been hit by an enemy warship.

"The report is that there was a sudden, unexplained large-scale explosion in the F4 area."

When Robert Guilliman, who was furious just now, heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. That must be the noise made by the Sage.

"Everyone go to the area to investigate."

"They are definitely there."

Because the [Glory of Macragge] is really huge, the search is a very troublesome and complicated process.

Conrad Curze doesn't need to make such a feint to the east and attack the west. As long as it is not exposed, it will definitely increase their workload.

Now this noise can only be reported by the kidnapped Sage, and the purpose is to let them search the area.

"Don't let go of any brick, even if you have to dig it out."

Robert Guilliman immediately figured it out and immediately mobilized all the [Ultramarines] to investigate the area. Not a single bit can be missed.

Just like poking a hornet's nest, all the [Ultramarines] came out in full force and went to the area to investigate without stopping.

In the area that experienced the massive explosion of [Explosive Rock], there were visible debris everywhere, as well as burning electronic circuits and so on.

Suddenly, a hand came out from the ruins, which was very scary.

It was Conrad Coze, whose face was covered with dirt and dust due to massive burns. The power armor on his left shoulder had already shown signs of melting, and he was crawling out of the ruins.

After all, the explosion temperature of [Explosive Rock] can instantly reach the forging temperature of power armor, so it is very normal for the armor to melt.

Looking at the room that had changed so much in front of him, his face became very ugly.

Conrad Coze now just wanted to curse, is that guy mentally ill?

Why did he explode when he didn't agree with him!

Obviously, he didn't show the kind of attitude of preferring to die in glory rather than live in disgrace at the beginning.

If he had shown that kind of attitude earlier, would he have pressed so hard?

Now, where can Conrad Coze find that iron lump in such a large area?

Even without thinking, Konrad Curze knew that there was such a big commotion here, and it would still be the focus of the Ultramarines' search today.

However, he also thought that he only needed to take advantage of them to dig that guy out, and then he would plunder again. Wouldn't that have the same effect as before?

Konrad Curze slowly disappeared into the darkness

"The warship will be here soon."

Robert Guilliman came here quickly, and looking at the tragic scene in front of him, his heart was also twitching fiercely. He commanded the group of [Ultramarines] behind him.

"Find him for me, we must find him."
