Chapter 26 Boarding
Kaiser Whitefang was sitting in the transport compartment of the boarding torpedo sharpening the frost axe in his hand.
On his left and right sat a wolf herder wearing black power armor and a wolf skull helmet, and another wearing a Fenris wolf skin and holding a sacrificial staff wrapped with many animal bones.
Space Wolf Think Tank, Rune Priest's painting style
"Haven't you found the gentle moment in the turbulence? We have been waiting for three hours. If we continue to wait like this, I doubt if there will be any survivors on that ship."
"Don't be impatient, White Fang. I thought the cold sea of Fenris had taught you to be a patient hunter."
Wodehouse Ice Wolf pulled out the Fenris honey wine hanging from his waist, put it to his mouth and took a big sip, "This is not an easy job. I need to drink more to find an opportunity for us to launch from this chaos. Although the distance is quite close and there are no annoying meteorites and ship fragments blocking us in the middle, it is still very dangerous. A little mistake and carelessness will make our poor little boarding torpedo swallowed by the warp, and we will become the evil god's delicious meal. By the way, do you have any more wine?"
Wodehouse Ice Wolf finished his Fenris honey wine in a few gulps and raised his eyes to Kaiser White Fang.
"Are you dreaming? I won't give you my wine." Kaiser White Fang protected his honey wine jar with his hands and looked at him with dangerous eyes. No one can steal the wine of Space Wolves, even if Leman Russ comes. Maybe Leman Russ can steal it, after all, Kaiser White Fang can't beat him.
"Huh?" Wodehouse Ice Wolf, who was still teasing, suddenly changed his expression, closed his eyes and began to feel the surge of the subspace wind carefully. Kaiser White Fang saw the serious Wodehouse Ice Wolf and stopped polishing the battle axe.
This mission was to take the blood claw cubs who had just passed the ceremony for a practical training and exercise. He, the old wolf, led the team, and Bennett Wolf Claw priest beside him was responsible for recovering gene seeds and supervising the battle situation of those blood claw cubs.
This hunting group even brought a team of Gray Hunters, which was a tactical team of the ordinary Astartes Chapter to deal with emergencies during the voyage. This prudent decision finally came in handy. Who could have expected that a damn Chaos traitor could sneak into the ship and open a subspace rift inside the ship?
After using their prestige to stop those impulsive Blood Claw cubs, White Fang, Ice Wolf, and Wolf Claw quickly decided that the three of them would lead half of the Gray Hunter team and rush to the bottom of the Flame on the boarding torpedoes to quickly deal with those demons and close the ritual.
"Okay, now, fire!" Wodehouse Ice Wolf opened his eyes and punched the ignition button on his side. As the torpedo engine started quickly, Ice Wolf also mobilized the psychic power of his whole body to wrap the entire torpedo. White lightning emerged and exploded from Ice Wolf's body, making a crackling sound that echoed in the transport warehouse.
"Ahhhhhhh!" After the torpedo completely sank into the warp, a lot of sweat instantly flowed down the forehead of the Ice Wolf, as if someone poured a bucket of water directly on his head. The whole torpedo was squeezed by the double squeeze of the Ice Wolf's psychic power and the power of the warp, making an unbearable squeak.
Until the torpedo crashed into the bubble-like Geller's position range of the Flame two seconds later, the Ice Wolf half-knelt on the ground, panting. The strong arm that always held the staff tightly was shaking like an ordinary person who was thrown into the Fenris Icefield and was half-frozen to death.
Seeing the Ice Wolf like this, Kaiser White Fang also knew that his mission was completed. If it weren't for his prophecy, he would have come out of the regiment fortress and trained the regiment recruits with them.
"The prophecy, the first one. Exhaustion due to overdrawn strength." Ice Wolf told White Fang about his current bad condition in his trembling voice.
"Then the second prophecy comes next. To be honest, does a prophecy really have to be spoken after it is fulfilled?" White Fang lifted his axe and kicked open the stuck boarding torpedo hatch. Wolf priest Bennett Wolfclaw was helping the gray hunters to release from their fixed seats. In order to quickly pass through the warp, the torpedo was hit by the Flame with such great impact that the outer shell of the boarding torpedo made of adamantium and ceramic steel was severely twisted and damaged.
"They are watching us, and I must keep everything in the prophecy."
"Okay, okay, I don't understand the things of you priests, I hope this prophecy is really worth it."
White Fang sighed, drank half of his Fenris honey wine, and then placed it in front of the ice wolf. He walked out of the cabin, looked at the lower deck of the Flame, which had become gloomy and dark due to power outages and warp corrosion, and put on the helmet he had been holding around his waist.
The built-in auspicious instrument and detector were activated, and the surrounding darkness became clear and distinct. Although it was not difficult for a Space Marine to fight in the dark, an old wolf had to be fully prepared to complete his hunt.
"It seems that we have a friend to accompany us."
The demons who sensed the souls of the Space Wolf Space Marines rushed in from all directions, so that only a whole piece of red light could be shown on the auspicious instrument. The Gray Hunter followed the Wolf Priest Bennett. Wolf Claw and quickly formed a battle formation, with the bolter and heavy bolter in his hand warily aiming at the possible enemies.
These warriors who have grown from Blood Claw rookies to Grey Hunters are the backbone of the Space Wolves. In the long battles and hunting, they have washed away the unique aggressiveness and impulsiveness of the Blood Claw cubs, and replaced them with cunning and calmness like hunting wolves.
Each of them is a deadly hunter who can use the weapons in his hands to the extreme.
They are masters of close combat and can tear their enemies apart in the fury of wolves. Even if they are facing demons, they can still destroy them.
The tide of demons slapped towards the warriors of the Space Wolves. Facing such a large number of demons, the Grey Hunter directly adjusted the grenade launcher in his hand to full-speed shooting mode. The dense rain of bullets formed a long whip of destruction, whipping on the arrogant waves, just like the Sea Hunter in the Fenris Arctic Ocean conquered the sea monster with his powerful steel harpoon. The attack of the demons was forcibly curbed.
"For the Emperor! For the Primarch! For Fenris!" The battle cry of the Wolf Claw Priest became so loud and passionate through the loudspeaker set in his helmet.
"Don't let down the strong wine of the Holy Father!" The warriors of the Space Wolves responded in unison, destroying all the demons in sight with even higher enthusiasm and more intense fighting desire. As the number of demons decreased rapidly, the Grey Hunters also gradually moved forward from their original shooting position, just like a pack of wolves driving away those prey that were panicking.
