  Chapter 561 The Destroyed Town

On the ground where the Tau tribe fell, there was a neat incision from the chest, which was cut in half with a blow from a heavy object, and the disembodied belly was left on the ground, and the intestines and lungs flowed out from the gap in the abdomen. come out.

Vito raised his head, and he looked at the collapsed building. It used to be a good-looking store, but now there are only bricks and ruins left. The goods that were once displayed in it fell into the rubble, and a doll was alone. Sitting on the broken stone, he looked at Vito with eyes honed from metal.

  He glanced at the collapsed buildings on both sides. The entire town has been turned into ruins. Now only deserted, death and destruction remained on the once lively streets.

Vito crossed the ruined street, stepped over the Tau people lying under the surrounding eaves, crossed the street, bent down and got through a collapsed pillar, and came to the central square of the whole town, where once and should be It is bustling with hawkers everywhere, selling goods from all over the place.

   But now, the place is empty. The shops that were still here at that time were crushed under the stones, the roof fabric was torn and scattered on the ground, and the broken bricks and tiles were pressed on it, as well as the goods that were once sold there.

Vito walked up the square, bent down in front of a stall, and picked up a doll, a pony doll with a broken leg, two button eyes, and only One.

   It must have been sold to some little girl, but now, the girl can't get him anymore, and everything here that once belonged to their future owner is under the rubble.

"grown ups."

  Gavier's voice sounded behind him, and Vito slightly turned his head towards him, "Did you find anything?"

   "No, no, there is nothing left here." Gavill walked up as he said, and he walked in from a ruined street in the square, where Vito had seen before, only ruined walls remained.

   Thursos also followed Gavel, but from his face, Vito didn't find anything worth mentioning. He put the doll on the only table that was still intact, and then got up and looked around.

  The sound of the wind passed through the ruins, whistling among the ruined walls, as if mourning and singing for the people who died here.

"The Tau troops have already come, but they didn't stay long. We saw the remnants of the jet boat in an open space." Gavill said, looking around the ruins that looked the same, in the long years of war, Garvir had been to many places and seen many different ruins, only to find that they were all the same.

  No matter how magnificent the front is, there will only be one thing left after them, just like a tombstone, silently telling the glory of the past and the loneliness of the present.

   "Who do you think did it?" Gavel asked softly, his voice as soft as the wind around him.

"At least it's not the Star Militia." Vito said, looking at the upside-down combat uniform on the square next to him. He was covered in bullet holes and explosion gaps, like an exhausted soldier. In the ruins, half of his body was buried below.

  Gavier also stared at the battle suit mecha, there was a thick hole in his chest, as if pierced by a spear, "You are right, the Star Militia Army can't do it."

   "The Tau fought back, stopped the invaders, with everything they could find."

   "But it wasn't enough. The invaders broke their defenses, killed their soldiers, knocked down their combat uniforms, and crushed civilians." Vito said, "Can you contact Sicarius?"

   "No, he's missing, Thursos and I tried to contact him, or find him, but found nothing." Gavel replied, with a sigh in his words.

"Perhaps, he also fell somewhere, or was buried under some ruins." "I believe he is still alive. We experienced the Tyrannian invasion of Breeches Gala together. He survived then, and he is the same now. .”

  Gavier and Thursos wanted to refute him, but none of them spoke in the end. They just followed him silently, walking through the square, looking for clues that no longer existed and evidence of the destroyer here.

  The Tau cities are now almost completely destroyed, the invaders are merciless, they set the buildings on the street, let the fire spread from building to building, burning everything in it, including people.

   When Gavel passed a door, a scorched black hand fell on the door. Its lower part remained in the room, and it was already difficult to distinguish it from the surrounding things. Everything there turned into scorched black.

On the street outside the house, a large number of humanoid sculptures were scattered on the street. They ran from the alley, but they were all wrapped in a layer of coke, and they were frozen in the final movement like statues. They were trying to escape, but they did not Successfully, the flames caught up with them and scorched their bodies, leaving only black shadows standing one after another in the street.

  The breeze blew past them, bringing up black dust and dancing with the wind.

   "Who did it? Slaughtered the entire town and made an Astartes with outstanding martial arts skills disappear." Gavier frowned, "I have fought with Sicarius and know how powerful he is."

"Does this make you understand?" Vito said and squatted on the ground. He swept away the ashes of the fire and picked up something from the ground. It was a bullet casing, which was thicker than ordinary bullets, and even he I can't even hold that in my hands.

   "Bomb." Thursos, who had been silent all the time, said.

   Garvir frowned, "The Space Marine's, but, who is it?"

   When he asked, Vito handed the cartridge case to Gavel, who took the bullet and blew away the dust on it, and saw the sign below, a winged sword.

   "Dark Angel." He answered softly, and Vito nodded, indicating that he was right.

"Dark Angels destroyed this place? It must have required a lot of troops." Thursos opened his mouth again, observing the surrounding ruins. This was a large-scale attack, and the entire town was attacked from all directions almost at the same time, so Titanium The people of the tribe failed to react and were finally slaughtered.

"One company, maybe more." Vito sighed and crossed his arms, thinking about it, Gavier also glanced around, "I have seen the Dark Angels' extermination battle, in the Randan War, it was theirs. handwriting."

   "Cruel and ruthless, as always." Vito replied approvingly, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something, Gavier and Thursos looked at each other, and then there was a communication sound from the helmet under his armpit.

  Gavier put it back on his head, and looked at Vito after hearing the words, "The field communication has been restored, but there is bad news. The headquarters of the Valhalla Army was attacked, and there are no survivors."

   "This means we should go back." Vito said, he put down his hand on his chin, looked around again with thoughts in his eyes, then turned and left.

  Gavier and Thursos followed him, the wind carried the ash behind them, and only the doll sat in the wind and sand, watching them with button eyes.
