Following these silver threads were even more Boarding craft from the Necrons, Imperials, and Chaos, all charging toward The Rock with equal recklessness.
The anti-aircraft fire from The Rock made no distinctions, firing fairly at every faction trying to set foot on their Legion's home world!
For the Dark Angels, this was standard defense, but for Sith, it meant his pursuers were drawing fire for him.
Abaddon, the Necrons, and the Imperials cursed furiously at the sight.
The Imperial side repeatedly tried to contact the Dark Angels, but the Dark Angels saw these Imperial forces daring to approach their home world, which hid countless secrets.
The more the Imperials tried to communicate, the harder they were hit!
Soon, after losing two-thirds of his Boarding craft, Sith finally landed on the surface of The Rock.
With the pursuing forces drawing fire, a significant number of Sith's troops survived.
Many Mortal units immediately set up positions right under the Dark Angels' anti-aircraft guns, which couldn't aim low enough.
They used the enemy's own AA guns to shield themselves from the enemy's pursuit!
Once on the ground, Sith didn't hesitate. He grabbed Bayer and used a Warp teleport to enter the interior of The Rock.
Now, there was no choice but to grow stronger!
The interior of The Rock had long been hollowed out by the Dark Angels, filled with an endless array of secret palaces and chambers.
In a vast, quiet palace.
Facing over a hundred corridors of various sizes, Sith didn't know which way to go.
Until Bayer, who had been following him, gave the area a quick scan and walked toward a door in a corner without a second thought.
Sith didn't ask questions; he just followed. Watching Bayer lead the way smoothly, without even triggering any defense systems, Sith suddenly understood why the whole galaxy wanted him dead.
In the Dark Angels' monastery, Bayer was acting like he was in his own damn house!
Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, Bayer's gaze locked onto a specific room.
At the same time, that sickly expression Sith had suppressed with his Bolter fire reappeared on Bayer's face.
He couldn't help but speed up, but just as he was about to touch the door, Sith suddenly moved, pulling Bayer back behind him.
A sharp sword suddenly thrust out from the darkness!
Having pulled Bayer back, Sith looked at the tall figure stepping out of the darkness. Seeing the white wings on either side of the helmet, which he knew was a mark reserved for the Dark Angels' 'Supreme Grand Master,' Sith could only complain inwardly that nothing had gone right since finding Bayer.
Because the one standing before him was the greatest man in the Dark Angels Legion beneath the Primarch: Azrael!
Sith frowned in annoyance. Faced with the powerful Azrael, he actually felt a rare sense of wariness.
He was about to tell Bayer to get up and fight with him.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the kid, Bayer, had already vanished!
Sith: "!!!"
His face twitched. In this narrow corridor where he didn't know the way, Sith abandoned any thought of turning and running.
He turned back to Azrael, whose eyes were locked onto him with total focus. Sith took a deep breath and calmly drew his red sword and black gun.
This caused Azrael's eyebrows to twitch, and he formally raised his Master-crafted weapon in response!
In the deep corridor, neither man moved.
Sith was wary of Azrael, and Azrael was staring at Sith, wary of this Mortal who had not only sensed his strike but had even saved the nearly dead Bayer from his blade.
Neither chose to initiate the attack.
Azrael didn't even seem to be in a hurry, as if he had all the time in the world.
Seeing this, Sith glanced at the ceiling. Although there was no sound, he knew from the battle on the surface that time was not on his side.
He had to find a way to make Azrael attack first!
Sith withdrew his gaze and refocused entirely on Azrael. After a moment's thought, his eyes lit up slightly.
It might not work on other Chapters, but for you Dark Angels...
Sith eased his combat stance slightly. Azrael looked confused, then Sith stood tall and said with a look of sincerity:
"I know you won't believe me, but what I want to tell you is..."
"First, the Legion has no secrets!"
"Second, long live the Empire!"
Azrael's body stiffened. After a brief moment of confused reflection, he suddenly snapped his head up, his eyes...
Instantly widening!
