Inside the Boarding Torpedo compartment, a tense atmosphere filled the air. Dante carefully inspected the equipment, loaded the explosive shells into the magazines one by one, closed his eyes, and stroked the finely crafted Power axe.

It has a resounding name: the Axe of Indomitus, and is one of his favorite weapons. It once beheaded the great Daemon "Red Thirst Skabrand" during the "Sound Gate" battle!

This axe bears witness to his glory!

Dante traversed battlefields, from the Battle of Carius to the Second Armageddon Campaign.

They chopped off the heads of countless enemies of the Imperium!

In those few seconds in the void, countless images flashed through his mind: the sunset over the desolate Baal desert, the earnest gaze of the Chapter Master when he joined the monastery, and the shadows of the Blood Angels recruits training later. But all these images eventually transformed into Baal being ignited by the flames of war!

The monastery standing amidst the ruins, the ferocious claws of the Tyranid Swarm, and the fallen Blood Angels —this nightmarish scene is not merely an illusion, but a reality that will unfold in the future!

"I will never let such a thing happen on Baal!" Dante murmured softly, gripping the "Axe of Indomitus" tightly, his eyes growing even more determined.

"Collision warning! Collision warning!"

Suddenly, the scarlet lights came on, and the violent tremors signaled that they were about to enter the battlefield!

The voice of the Machine Spirit interrupted Dante.

He donned the mask of death, the holy blood on his forehead promising to protect his descendants.

"Sanguinius above"

The next moment, Dante was filled with murderous intent.

Boom!!!

Amidst the violent tremors, the torpedo struck its target!

The moment the hatch exploded open, Dante was like a beast awakening, raising his hand and firing without warning.

A deafening explosion blasted from the gun barrel, shattering a Tyranid Swarm that was trying to break into the landing craft; its thick, green blood splattered onto the bulkhead.

Immediately afterwards, Dante strode out of the hatch, firing his guns in all directions with his left hand and wielding his axe with his right. Single-handedly, he slaughtered the Tyranid Swarm who were crowding outside the hatch, ready to attack!

The Blood Guard following behind him were no pushovers either; they were all seasoned Company Champion, and every bullet they fired was precisely aimed into Tyran's mouth, shattering his ferocious head!

In a narrow passage, almost as far as the eye could see, there was a dense Tyranid Swarm, their numbers simply outrageous!

Moreover, the Tyranid Swarm Bio-ship were covered in viscous Biomass, as if they had intruded into the body of some giant creature.

Boom boom boom!

The roar of the Bolter and the flashes of fire illuminated the dim passage. Led by Dante, the boarding squad of only twelve men, facing the overwhelmingly superior number of Tyranid Swarm, managed to create an effect that made a thousand armies retreat!

The viscous Biomass evaporated, and in the stench of Blood Qi, Dante's mask of death resembled the lowered gaze of the Primarch Sanguinius, and where his gaze was fixed was Hell!

This was a completely one-sided massacre!

The low-tier Tyran troops were no different from ordinary people in the face of Dante and the Blood Guard, such elite forces. Even with hundreds of them crowding the passage, they were easily slaughtered!

After easily defeating this wave of enemies, the group silently began to prepare, knowing full well that this was just an "appetizer."

Tyran's true power goes far beyond this!

"Hurry up."

Dante succinctly stated a sentence over the communication channel.

Just as he was about to change to a spare magazine, a strong premonition struck him, and a huge shadow suddenly leaped down from the pipe above his head!

The sharp, scythe-like forelimbs aimed straight for the head of this Blood Lord!

This is a Lekart, a master of ambushes from the shadows, and considered an elite killer of the Tyranid Swarm. Unfortunately, it chose the wrong opponent.

Faced with Lekart's sudden sneak attack, Dante remained calm and took a half step back, using his toughest shoulder armor to block Lekart's blow.

When!

The biological scythe struck the Ceramite shoulder armor, sending up a dazzling flash of light that illuminated Dante's golden death mask, a mask of compassion tinged with rage.

A sneak attack?

Dante remained unmoved. If he were so easily ambushed, he would probably have died hundreds of times over.

He immediately threw away the Bolter, and his free left hand shot out, his five fingers like steel, gripping the throat of the Lekart, while his right hand swung the axe horizontally.

In the blink of an eye, the Lekart was beheaded.

Blood gushed out as Dante stomped down, his power boots crushing Lekart's head before turning to the others and calmly saying, "Be on your guard."

The Blood Guard nearby picked up the Bolter he had thrown away and handed it back to Dante.

Dante took the Bolter, acting as if nothing had happened, and continued changing its magazine, casually asking, "Have you located the other squads yet?"

"Not yet, Chapter Master." The Techmarine shook his head. "We're deep inside the Hive Ship. The Shadow in the Warp of the Hive Mind Will completely blocks Psychic Power communications. Unless we're very close, it's difficult to pinpoint the location of other squads."

"Keep going."

Dante nodded, not at all surprised.

He had anticipated this when he was formulating the battle plan.

In his pre-planned battle plan, dozens of torpedo landing craft would simultaneously launch a boarding assault on the location of the Hive Ship.

Considering that this is the mothership of the Tyran fleet, even though the Tyran forces have been dispersed and the defenses are not as tight as before, a successful assault will still be fraught with difficulties.

Therefore, in Dante's pre-planned battle plan, there would be dozens of torpedo landing craft, launching attacks from different positions...

They launched separate attacks on Tyran's mothership!

To put it bluntly, it's a saturation-style boarding action!

This includes Chapter such as the Flesh Tearers, Crimson Angels, Glory Angels, Penitent Angels, and Blood Angels!

Of all these Chapter, as long as one of them can find the core of the mothership, that's enough!

Locate the core and place the delivery beacon.

Then all they have to do is wait for the Dreadnought to enter, and their mission will be complete!

Here, they had no communication, no support, no maps, and faced countless Tyran Rex attacks. Every squad that boarded was practically fighting alone!

At the same time, the Tyran mothership was suddenly attacked, and the entire Tyran fleet changed its focus from besieging Pertita to rescuing the mothership.

But... is it really that simple?!

Alvin grinned maliciously at the sky. "Come and go as you please? Do you think this place is a toilet? Since you're here, none of you are leaving. You'd better stay put!"

Trying to run now? Too late!

The enormous "Void Claw" began to gather energy atop the war fortress, then moved towards the Hive Fleet.

A beam of singularity black hole energy was launched!

At the same time, cruisers and Strike Cruiser of the Blood Angels Chapter blocked the way for the Tyran fleet to return to provide assistance!

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence:

Want to go back? Dream on!
