To Remain True to Sanguinius and the Blood Angels

Vertel could feel the Blood of Sanguinius boiling inside him!

At that moment, the pain seemed to fade away. In the memories of ancient times, Sanguinius's battle cry gradually overlapped with his own. Hallucinations took control, yet still left him with a sliver of consciousness.

Destroy the heretics before him! Let Sanguinius's fury burn the enemies of the Imperium!

His shattered body was immersed in the sarcophagus. As nerve probes pierced his spinal cord and stimulated him, his consciousness followed the data streams, scorching every inch of the ancient Dreadnought's steel body. Even the weapon arrays seemed to answer the fighting spirit of this veteran of ten thousand years.

"In the name of Sanguinius's wings!"

The Assault Cannon opened fire first, its roar shattering the membranous walls of the bio-chamber.

Several Tyranid Warriors blocking the way were instantly torn to shreds by the torrent of metal from the six barrels.

At the same time, the Hive Tyrant, standing about four meters tall, used the Tyranid Warriors as cover and successfully charged right up to the Dreadnought. Its scythe-like forelimbs had turned to bone, unleashing a blow wrapped in a gale, powerful enough to make anyone watching catch their breath!

Its target was unmistakably the Dreadnought's core: the "sarcophagus"!

The ancient Ceramite armor on the outer layer of the metal sarcophagus had already been melted by the Tyranids' highly corrosive slime during the earlier battle.

Now, the Dreadnought had lost its greatest advantage.

Rather, with its "sarcophagus" exposed, the Dreadnought presented an obvious weakness to the cunning Hive Tyrant.

If the Dreadnought's "sarcophagus" was destroyed, it would be as good as losing its "pilot."

Of all the enemies who had invaded the bioship's chambers, only this Dreadnought posed a truly serious threat. It had to be eliminated first!
