Warhammer 40K: Veterans Surge Like a Torrent, Heretics Beg for the End Chapter 94 94: Give Me Your Battlecruiser!
A chain reaction of explosions from bottom to top.
The massive Aeldari spire, accompanied by a roar, crashed down beneath their feet like a mountain.
The Greenskins and Tyranids, locked in a bloody battle within the basin, were all distracted by the trendous noise.
They turned back one after another, only to see the previously clear path instantly sealed off, aning it would take much more effort for them to escape the basin now.
Watching the plan finally co to fruition, Fanros, standing on the mountain peak beside the Aeldari spire, felt a great weight lift from his heart, and his expression eased considerably.
The surrounding Astartes and Imperial Guardsn also looked relieved; many had already begun gazing toward their base, preparing to return imdiately.
After confirming once more that the Tyranid Swarm in the basin would not be able to get out anyti soon, Fanros turned his full attention to the base and the evacuation.
He even glanced up at the battlecruiser in the sky, which was already billowing thick smoke, and anxiety appeared in his eyes.
If they didn't leave now, they might truly lose their chance.
"My Lord, I will call for..."
Despite being an Inquisitor, Fanros addressed Sith with a title of respect quite naturally in front of everyone, and none of the surrounding survivors found it strange.
But before Fanros could finish, he saw Sith discard an empty magazine and begin reloading, while Sith didn't even look at the evacuation route behind him, focusing instead on the center of the basin.
Fanros was stunned. He followed Sith's gaze and saw, in the deepest part of the basin, a squad that had been holding off the xenos alone for who knows how long.
Recalling sothing, an even more intense expression of strangeness appeared on Fanros's face.
He could hardly believe it; after all, what Sith was about to do seed completely aningless in the eyes of the Imperium.
Before Fanros could speak, Sith, ignoring the astonished gazes of everyone looking at him, spoke while quickly reloading:
"I am going back to retrieve my squad and wait for your evacuation transport."
Fanros and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Leaving aside the fact that those people in the basin were hardly worth saving, just looking at the hair-raising, overwhelming tide of xenos completely trapped in the basin left everyone present staring at Sith with incomprehension.
The only ones whose gazes differed slightly were the Imperial Guardsn, who had been treated as expendable and abandoned too many tis.
Although these soldiers dared not stare directly, the eyes they cast cautiously toward Sith held a touch of awe.
After speaking, Sith imdiately turned back, and just before taking a step, he suddenly looked back at Fanros.
"You will send a transport, right?"
Fanros faltered, an expression of speechlessness appearing on his face.
While he nodded repeatedly to assure him, he was already inwardly grumbling with frustration.
"I wouldn't dare abandon you, not even if I abandoned everyone else!"
"Not to ntion that if word got out and the Ecclesiarchy found out I left the'Saint' prophesied by the Emperor to the Tyranids, those lunatics would skin alive."
"Let alone the God-Emperor himself, who would probably be so furious he'd charge out of the Warp to show what the Emperor's Wrath really is!"
"Of course, there's also Slaanesh, who just got a taste of the sweetness."
Observing Fanros's expression and confirming the man hadn't reached the level of audacity to abandon him, Sith turned and charged back toward the basin.
Although the blessings of the God-Emperor and Khorne had been consud quite a bit after hacking through the Tyranids all this way, combined with the little replenishnt Slaanesh had just provided, Sith could barely manage to hack his way back.
