Aboard the Secret Cult's ultimate warship, the aliens had never imagined the enemy would arrive so quickly. Nor had they imagined they would be boarded so easily before they could even activate their shields.

Useless T'au!

The entire warship descended into chaos.

With the Astartes committing everything to the boarding assault, Boarding Assault Pods were everywhere, and masses of Astartes covered the warship's exterior.

Just a few hundred thousand T'au. If we Astartes put in a little effort and each chop down five hundred enemies, won't that settle it?

Rogier was still partnered with Bars, tearing through enemy flesh with savage claws.

There were no Kroot here, only the Fire Caste, Air Caste, and Earth Caste.

The corridors inside the warship were enormous, seemingly built with some towering species in mind. The short T'au looked utterly out of place.

Fortunately, some battlesuits could operate here, such as the XV35 Stealth Suits the T'au were so fond of.

However, Bars's Psyker Power blasts could swiftly scour the surrounding space, forcing enemies hoping to ambush them to reveal themselves. Rogier's powerful sense of smell and perception could also vaguely detect anything amiss.

Of all the warriors, Rogier advanced the fastest, followed by Leon's Blackshields.

But the warriors from the Eternal Mountain, who had joined the battle later, soon arrived to reinforce them and even overtook their advance.

Kazhaniv had picked up his charging speed again. The other Terminators simply could not keep pace; the warriors around him were all Primaris wearing Mark X Power Armour.

Ashlan swung his three blades with ferocious speed, leaving severed limbs scattered everywhere he passed.

Naturally, Evan was the fastest.

I'm the Chapter Master. I've got a vehicle!

Evan and several sons of Jaghatai Khan raced down the long corridors on Grav-bikes.
