Chapter 486 Sun and Wine
The warm-up has begun.
The activities of Chaos Cults in various places have become more and more rampant. With the strength of the Space Marines shrinking on a large scale, the Imperial Navy is exhausted.
Originally, now was a good time. The war situation almost returned to the state just after the disappearance of the various original bodies. The Black Templars led by Sigismund wiped out most of the enemies of the empire, and the empire prospered and developed.
However, under the orders of the Regent, the pressure from all over the galaxy increased dramatically. The surrounding worlds had to risk trade routes being cut off to transport various supplies to Terra, and their own military forces...
It cannot be said that it is weakening, it can only be said that both sides are strengthening. Because of the Eye of Terror, the strength of the psykers on both sides is increasing.
Every day, the empire discovered many incidents of Chaos Sacred Artifacts being smuggled into the Sun Sanctuary. Just when Yifeng was meeting with Terra, the latest one discovered was approaching the edge of the Sun Sanctuary and was intercepted and destroyed by the Mars Mechanicus.
Well, since they didn't say anything, it can be understood that it was brought back by the Mechanicum's own mistakes.
Guilliman was setting up a grand welcome ceremony, and there was a lot to plan for a great event on Terra.
The welcoming people...are not very fixed either.
The ancient being who was the first to return had planned all the details of the grand event before Guilliman. The original body had not even finished writing all the plans before the dusty golden figure returned to him.
"Long time no see. It seems like time has changed you a lot."
Alpharius tried his best to complete the image of the other party from Guilliman's memory. It was not that he didn't know the other party, but that Guilliman should understand it incompletely.
"Welcome back, shall I call you the King in Yellow? Constantin Waldo."
The ancient Admiral of the Imperial Guard during the 30K period was personally recovered by the Emperor. From the Unification War of Terra to the disappearance of Leman Russ, he accompanied the Emperor through a glorious millennium. Even after the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne, he Not stopping for a moment, preparing for the Emperor's return.
"The King in Yellow is just what a group of inquisitors call me."
The Inquisitor discovered the powerful existence of the King in Yellow, and took some Sisters of Silence, "Winged Space Marines" and unknown powerful beings everywhere to search for the true name of the Emperor... In the non-material realm, just the Inquisitor According to records, there is an army of his madmen in the webway.
Waldo is also old now. Even the imperial guards in the palace have never seen such an old guard. After they feel that their physical fitness has declined, they will apply to become the Eye of the Emperor and disappear into the vast galaxy.
"You have a nice beard, maybe I should consider growing a bit too."
Guilliman thought of something funny and looked at the other person with a strange look, "Want to talk about your work? I think you have heard about the existence of the Red Torrent."
"Since you mentioned it, it means that you have almost repaired the other party's flaws."
"There are many flaws, but in fact, there are no flaws." The original body's words were somewhat contradictory. "They just don't know some things, but they have already accomplished almost impossible things, just like you."
"It's not that difficult for me."
Constantine Valdo, as the strongest man of the year (the original body has almost disappeared), did not carry his weapon, a powerful artifact called: "Spear of the Sun", which was so powerful that it killed the enemy. At that time, he could see the other person's life, but Waldo kept him in the palace.
And the Imperial Guards.
It was Valdor who signed the restraining order with Guilliman after the Heresy, allowing the Custodes to stay in the palace and never leave until this day.
Or not leaving on the surface.
This is to make the warp relax its vigilance.
The original body put down the paper and pen in his hand and stood up to show respect like the other party. "I heard that you hid an army in the webway?"
"If you call it 'one,' then yes."
"Let's talk about it. I found some records in the piles of files of the Inquisition. Thousands of winged Space Marines and untouchables drove battleships to defend the pocket world in the webway. It's amazing and pointless. A quantitative unit of meaning.”
"Before it all starts, all I can say is that there are more gatherings than have been recorded."
Waldo has two main tasks. One is to gather these forces. Like Yifeng, try to hide them with anti-psychic power. Red Torrent chose the People's Light, which is almost invisible in the subspace, and Waldo chose to cooperate. The Sisters of Silence establish themselves in pocket-like webways.
"Winged Space Marines. When I read it, I thought it was the hat of the Dark Angels with wings on it. Now it seems that it is not the case." At this point, everything was still calm, but in the next sentence, the tone of the original body Then he became bad.
"You wouldn't have done anything to the heirs of my brother Saintlys."
Waldo smiled, "It's just a machine. We added an operation to them so that the extra nerves in their backs can control the mechanical wings. You..."
Waldo glanced at the Wings of Despair beside him, with an expression like "You still have the nerve to talk about me?"
"That's good news. At least your troops can temporarily serve as backup."
Waldo curled his lips. The battles in these years were more dangerous than ordinary people imagined. He was the main target of the high-tech enemies of the Eldar. It is precisely because of this that the invasion of the real world by the Eldar has not been so serious in the past ten thousand years. .
Guilliman saluted him. No one in the entire empire could withstand this courtesy, but Waldo stood straight and accepted the salute of the original body calmly.
"The second plan also succeeded?"
"Everyone has been caught. Those Children of the Stars are really hard to catch."
Special beings like the Children of the Star... Legend has it that they are the bloodline of the Emperor, possessing incorruptible properties and powerful psychic abilities similar to those of the Imperial Guard. Of course, these are just legends.
Yifeng always felt that by overcoming the emperor's excess divine power, the emperor's humanity could return, but he had never thought about how much of the emperor's humanity was left in him.
These children of the stars, without exception, are fragments of the Emperor's humanity, and Waldo will use the Spear of the Sun to kill them as "sacrifice" to consolidate the Emperor's humanity.
This is what Guilliman said, that a group of psykers would be sacrificed to the Emperor in Operation Resurrection.
"That's good, I believe you, but I still have some doubts."
The original body took out a photo from the deepest drawer of his desk. Through special processing and careful maintenance, it has not faded at all after hundreds of years.
"This is my brother, Lian Jonson, the primarch of the First Legion. He has indeed lived for more than ten thousand years. Do you see it? His white hair and beard."
The face of the original body was full of nostalgia.
"You have also lived for 10,000 years, but you are not that old. I believe that your fighting power will still be the same when you mention the Spear of the Sun."
This involves some inside information about the Forbidden Army, but Constantine Waldo doesn't think it is a secret.
"The other Custodes brothers are just as reliable, Robert. I move in and out of the stasis position like a Dauntless. I only wake up every time there is a large-scale Eldar invasion or information about the Children of the Stars."
"Hoho, Robert, it's so nostalgic to hear it coming from your mouth."
In fact, only Ms. Euton could often use the title Robert. For the original body, it was a name reserved for friends from the old times.
Uh...Evrene and a certain beautiful girl who helped the Primarch seek the truth of history would sometimes shout this.
"What's there to miss? Think about the Warmaster."
The Warmaster Waldo is talking about here is not Horus, but the Warmaster before him, even before the return of the original body, the oldest Eternal, Or Persson, who is more than 7,000 years older than the Emperor. .
"That old guy just called you number thirteen."
"Indeed, he is much more rude than Macado. I would rather be pinned to the ground by the imperial prime minister's psychic energy than see that old guy."
That old guy Or Persson is a typical "I would rather do nothing than make a mistake" type of immortal. The event that can be called a historical milestone is that he successfully persuaded the Emperor to take the form of a human. Fight Horus instead of ascending directly to the gods.
When mentioning these ancient events that have been lost even in historical records, the original body couldn't help but relax.
He invited Waldo to sit down. He had been working hard for ten thousand years and was not in a hurry for this moment.
"So do you have a way to maintain the palace's psychic barrier? I'm not sure if that barrier will still be there when the Emperor reforges his body."
"The Forbidden Army has always had a backup plan for this. You should ask the Forbidden Army in the palace now. We have prepared a special void shield in the palace. When it is activated, it can be used as a second barrier to a certain extent, but... .You know, there were many battles to defend Terra, but never again without the Emperor."
Hearing this, the original body breathed a sigh of relief. The Forbidden Army guys were completely unwilling to tell him more secrets.
(The Custodes' distrust of the Primarch and the Space Marines originated from Waldo. At the beginning of the Primarch's plan, he raised the only question in his life about the Emperor's plan.)
"Speaking of which, where is Trajan? Did Trajan Valoris, the 17th Marshal of the Praetorian Army, go to your place?"
"No, I think he should have gone to gather the Eyes of the Emperor."
Who knows how many Eyes of the Emperor there are? No one knows.
Waldor chatted with the Primarch for a while longer, then he said it was time to head to the palace.
"The Spear of the Sun has waited until its master returns. It is a little luckier than me, just a little bit." The ancient commander of the Forbidden Army said.
——————————————————————————————————
As the "sister weapon" of the Spear of Apollo, Leman Russ, the owner of the Spear of Dionysus, is wandering in the galaxy like a giant wandering Ogryn, heading towards Terra in rags.
The attack of the Spear of Dionysus can make the opponent see his own nature and see the truth clearly.
The Wolf King also left without the Dionysian Spear, but now he really wanted to stab his brother with the Dionysian Spear again.
Not the annihilated Horus, of course, but the shards of Magnus' integrity.
"I will not cast any more spells directed at Terra, any."
"It's just a simple teleportation technique, brother, it's no big deal. Even if it doesn't point to the palace, you can just open the teleportation gate to Luna (the moon)."
"I refuse, brother, I swear."
The righteous soul fragment of Magnus regrets that disastrous psychic spell all the time, the disaster caused by ignorance that destroyed the future of the Empire.
In the previous eleven thousand years, the Wolf King was quite awesome, in the words of the Demon Prince.
"Damn it, Ruth is using her brain."
With the help of the powerful spell cast by the soul fragment of Magnus in the bracelet, no existence of Leman Russ can be left in the subspace. To the subspace, he is more disgusting than the vicious dog that barks every day in the neighbor's house, at least for others Wouldn't keep a dog in your home.
If you have nothing to do, come and pry the door open.
Leman Russ faithfully carried out his mission, but occasionally he wanted to live a better life.
"You can send me back to Fenris. Teleport me directly back to Fenris. The Storm Soul (Fenris' planetary will) will help you."
"No, now our mission is to return to Terra."
"But you refused to teleport to Terra."
"Yes."
"You are really missing a chord in your brain."
"That's your fault. You didn't help me find the fragment."
......
In the midst of the boring bickering, the ship on which Leman Russ was traveling was heading towards Terra. Those were hard times. In order not to be discovered, he now stayed with Groxmon.
Entering the Sun Sanctuary was a small inspection in three days and a large inspection in five days. I wanted to dismantle the battleship into parts and send them in.
The Wolf King cannot reveal his existence, and even the Space Marines cannot gain trust. Once he appears in the Star Language, who knows what kind of Chaos fleet will be attacked.
These years have not caused any trouble to the evil gods.
On this issue, Leman Russ is still very self-aware. Sometimes, the Wolf King simply relaxes. The Emperor is here and my brother is here. He just relaxes. When he relaxes, he starts to act recklessly, which is not completely It's because of the disguise.
The tattered frost armor is attached to the wall, and the magnetic lock barely works. Below is the smelly animal pen. The Wolf King cannot eat directly when he is hungry. If there is one missing animal, he will be intensively inspected and harassed.
"Magnus, I'm hungry."
“I can have food fly to me from the kitchen.”
"What's the difference between that and you telling them directly that I'm on board?"
Leman Russ finally decided to go to the bottom deck to check out the situation. His current location seemed to be in a harsh environment, but compared to the bottom deck, it was a paradise on earth.
There was no need to cover his tracks when he went down. Everyone thought that a swollen Ogryn with mutated hair was a normal existence. Mutant slaves were mixed with various cults and infiltrated aliens. The inspection team had just carried out a cleanup. Leman Russ Decided to go see if there was anything left.
Cultists, chicken thieves, and mutants affected by Chaos are his daily diet. After all, these are the only things he can find when he is fishing for fragments in the sea of souls.
Oh, by the way, there are also green-skinned orcs who sing songs and fight against demons. Let me tell you, their mushroom soup is really delicious.
Except for the way he was chopping melons and vegetables to kill the big demon and then kicking away the biggest orc boss and rushing into the kitchen to drink mushroom soup and being worshiped as Goge by other boys, everything was normal.
Thinking of this, Leman Russ licked his lips. He really missed the wine of Fenris. Over the years, the only time he drank Fenris mead was when he found it on a destroyed Space Wolf ship, Storm Fang. The soldiers on board never thought that their genetic father would collect the corpses for them and send them out of the subspace.
"Don't steal the battleship's alcohol fuel. The return trip cannot be affected in any way."
"I know!"
Relying on the speed of the original body, Russ traveled in the corridor, using his sense of smell to predict whether there was anyone in front of him. He stole a bottle of wine brought from the extreme star field from the first mate's room and then sneaked into the ground floor along the passage. deck.
The Wolf King drank the wine in one gulp, then tore off the label, ordered some waste water that could be found everywhere, and quietly stole a pack of food sticks from the back of a slave leader, then stuffed the empty wine bottle into it.
"Ruth, we don't have to do this."
"If you want to dive in, dive in. Hey, what do you think Corax would do?"
"I'll hold my forehead and say, it's you, Ruth."
The two original bodies chatted for a while, and Russ even wanted to run into the macrocannon tube and sleep. It was the place least likely to be inspected when there was no battle.
The good times did not last long, and the ship was violently hit.
Leman Russ immediately went into hiding, and Magnus used psionic magic to discover what was going on.
A ship collided violently with them, and they were deviating from their original trajectory. The captain made a quick decision and jumped out.
The location where the ship jumped was a void between galaxies. There was nothing around it. A battleship of a Chaos cultist crashed into the transport ship. The escort ship separated from them in the subspace, along with four other transport ships. .
The alarm sounded throughout the ship. There were very few soldiers on this ship, or in other words, they could not be called soldiers.
Several teams of escorts were formed by the re-employment of retired Astra Militarum soldiers. Now it is difficult to lift the heavy plasma guns in both hands, and they say "I think about those days..."
Chaos believers rushed into the ship through the breach, and their roars resounded throughout the ship, "Blood for the Blood God, skull for the Skull Seat!"
The Blood Conqueror gang has launched an attack here, and the Blood God is looking for every opportunity to attack and seize ships heading to Terra as an appetizer before the war.
Leman Russ knew that the ship could not defend itself against an enemy attack.
"Magnus, I need some cover from your magical illusion."
Psychic power floated in the Wolf King's body, and the Wolf King rushed towards the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield was one-sided. The defenders firmly guarded several mechanical gates and continued to retreat under the crazy impact of Khorne believers. Most of the position had been lost and key nodes were occupied.
The Wolf King rushed into a battlefield, and a ten-man team held rifles with bayonets in hand and inspected the rooms one by one.
The arrival of the original body was a catastrophe, beating the believers to pieces with one punch. The Wolf King killed all the enemies at an extremely fast speed, and then hung all their heads on his body, smearing the blood of the believers on the cold on the armor.
"Okay, Magnus, you can rest and pay attention to anti-corruption."
The Wolf King shouted: "Kill~~"
Pretending to be a mad believer of the Blood God, he rushes into the battlefield and kills everyone. As we all know, the bodies of those blessed by Chaos will grow a lot, so...the crazy Blood God Ogryn is massacring all the living creatures. things.
"Let the blood flow, let the blood spread all over the earth!"
Leman Russ pulled out the barrel of the Leman Russ...tank and wielded it as a weapon. The severely corrupted tank smelled so bad that the original body felt that the black barrel in his hand was greedy. sucking the blood smeared on his hands.
That won't work, you have to kill faster.
The followers of Khorne felt a strong wind roaring past, and all their comrades around them were shattered into pieces.
The wolf king rushed to the entrance of the enemy's gang and began to intercept and kill those guys who were not discerning.
.....
Although the Primarch withstood the majority of the renegade army's attacks, the stragglers who broke into the ship were still able to break through the defenders' defenses.
The crazy attack will not stop because there are no teammates. The defenders retreat under the opponent's desperate attack, but they don't know that not even a single soldier will appear from behind.
This place is not far from the Sanctuary of the Sun, and the captain immediately called for support through astrology.
Fortunately, the response came almost immediately, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that support was at their side.
How close? It jumped out the next moment.
"Captain William, it seems we have to eat two ships before going back."
"Didn't you hear Khan's order? This time, go straight to Terra. Don't slow down the flagship. Open the rear shipyard door. Put down a ship and leave."
Anos vomited out a Fengyun-class battleship and left in a hurry.
There are many adamantine warriors on this ship, but the luckiest one is a wolf brother. He does not know that he is about to become the first warrior to welcome the return of the Gene Father.
The Storm-class battleship used its bombardment cannon to destroy the ships of the followers of Khorne, which shocked the Primarch.
The Wolf King was at the connection between the two ships, using a jump hook lock to forcefully pull the two ships in. The violent explosion on one side directly meant that the entire edge was severely damaged.
"Magnus!"
"Yes." A solid psychic shield was supported, blocking the violent shock wave. The outer armor of the two ships seemed to be fused together, and the other's ship had been broken into several pieces.
The Wolf King folded his hands, broke the gun barrel in his hand, stepped on it a few times, and ran towards the depths of the battleship.
There's something wrong. We need to go to the communications room to find out what's going on.
A few minutes after the Wolf King left, Tiaobangcang landed here.
Fengyun-class battleships flew above, so close that they could communicate in real time without the need for astrology.
"Hello, Captain, we are the Astartes Chapter. We are now providing the situation inside the ship."
"Hurry, they are about to break through the door." The captain held a laser pistol in his hand and looked back at the door of the command room worriedly while talking to the soldiers.
"receive."
