Chapter 1328 Macragge (the cat lies on the bed and turns into a cat cake)
Different from the embarrassing escape in history when he was chased by the black fleet, Duanmu Huai's journey to Macragge this time was very peaceful, as if he was sitting in the guest room, drinking hot tea leisurely.
Macragg, Macragg...well, it's been a while since I last saw him.
In Duanmu Huai's memory, the last time he went to Macragge was before the great rebellion. Well... I don't know how Guilliman was doing after that.
But looking at the state in which he was cut into the stasis field, it probably wouldn't be too bad.
Duanmuhuai also knew about this. During the Great Rebellion, Guilliman and Fulgrim fought in a duel, and almost died after being chopped down. Fortunately, he was rescued early, while he was still breathing. (Literally in one breath), Guilliman was directly stuffed into the stasis field.
Since then, Guilliman's time has been completely stagnant. Because no cure has been found, everyone can only watch. To be honest, after ten thousand years, Duanmu Huai thinks that maybe now The Ultramarines thought that their Primarch might have died long ago.
Who knows.
Soon, without much time, the group arrived at Macragge. The Black Fleet can also be seen here, but unlike the show of force in Cadia, the Black Fleet here is anxious with Macragge's defense fleet, which once again proves that... Logistics is the key. everything.
Rather than always thinking about beheadings, pig attacks, tactics...
Therefore, looking at the Five Hundred Worlds and then looking at the Empire, it is really a matter of judgment.
If the Emperor owned even half of Guilliman's operations, he would not be in the state he is now in.
After giving the emperor a middle finger in the subspace to show friendship, Duanmuhuai once again focused on Macragge in front of him.
Ah, Macragge, the second home in the player's mind - well, in the game, no one would regard Terra, which is as barren as Mars, as the earth. For players, Macragge, with its picturesque scenery and emphasis on infrastructure, is a second home that is more in line with their tastes.
Terra? Haha, it's far worse than Macragge.
As the most obedient chapter among all legions, communicating with the Ultramarines is much more comfortable than communicating with other chapters. After learning that the Great Sage Caul wanted to go to Macragge for something, the Ultramarines quickly agreed. met their demands. In return, the Great Sage left the remaining Mechanicus warships to assist the garrison fleet against the Black Legion. The group then took a shuttle to Hera's Fortress in Macragge.
Later, they met the current Lord of Ultramar——Marius Calga.
"Hello, Great Sage."
Adhering to the usual diplomatic style of the Ultramarines, Calgar welcomed Caul, but--it was obviously not particularly welcoming.
"Welcome to Macragge, at any other time, I might have said that. But I'm sorry, but as you can see, Macragge is currently at war, and we hope to solve the problem as soon as possible - so , may I ask what is the purpose of your coming here? ”
"Karga, I have only one purpose for coming here."
Stepping forward, Kaul's mechanical eyes flashed with excitement.
"I am here to fulfill a mission and an agreement - after ten thousand years of waiting, I have finally accomplished the mission, and now there is only the last step left."
"The last step? What are you talking about?"
Facing Calgar's inquiry, Kaul was silent for a moment.
"I wish to meet the Primarch."
Calgar's request aroused the surprise of the nearby Ultramarines. However, Calgar, who was sitting on the throne, did not seem to be very surprised by this. On the contrary, he and the chief think tank Varro Tigris looked at each other, and then frowned. He frowned and stared at Call.
"Great Sage, I would like to ask, do you have any relationship with the Spirit Clan?"
"Eldar?"
Hearing Calja's question, Kaulton was stunned, while Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
"No, I have no connection with the Eldar... Why do you ask this?"
"Because not long ago, two Eldar aliens took the initiative to break into our encirclement network and were imprisoned by us. They offered to meet me, and the leader of the Eldar aliens claimed that someone would come soon. Here, the sleeping original body is awakened, and they come here to complete this mission.”
"Eldar? Awaken the Primarch?"
I have to say that Kaur's CPU is really about to be burned out now. He thought that his plan was kept perfectly secret, and logically speaking, no one would know about it. As a result, why did the Grand Inquisitor already know about it before, but now even the Spirit Race knows about it?
He kept the co-author a secret for ten thousand years, but in the end nothing was saved?
Kaul instantly felt like his mentality had collapsed.
What is this!
Compared to the great sage next to him whose CPU was almost overloaded, Duanmu Huai also frowned slightly. Damn, these skinned monkeys are so haunted that they even took the initiative to come to Macragge!
"Bring them up."
At this time, Chapter Leader Calga also ordered the Ultramarines to bring the two Eldar over. Duanmu Huai recognized at a glance that the man and woman of the Eldar in front of him were the God of Death Army, Efreni and her Loyal licking dog. Even when surrounded by Ultramarines, these two aliens still remained calm and arrogant, well... the unique arrogance of the Eldar.
"Who are you? How did you learn about my agreement with Lord Guilliman?!"
Seeing these two Eldar, Caul couldn't hold himself back and asked, while Ephrene looked at Caul and then spoke.
"The reason why we are here is because of the guidance of the prophecy, and the reason why we appear in front of you is because you need our help."
"Assist? Eldar assist me? Why?"
"When the time is right, you will naturally know."
The Eldar are still the same Riddlers as always, but it's no wonder that these idiots who played with fate and were fucked until they exploded have long since become crazy lunatics. Duanmu Huai will not let them go in the slightest before, now and in the future. Take this bullshit seriously.
But Kaul obviously didn't think so, and he hoped to have further discussions with Efreni. So Duanmuhuai watched the two people leave the hall, muttered quietly in the next room for a while, and then reappeared. At this time, the great sage looked a little tired, but he also made a decision. He once again asked Calgar for permission to go to the Primarch and fulfill the agreement he made with him thousands of years ago.
Calgar originally did not intend to agree to Caul's request, but after the persuasion of the chief think tank Tigris, he finally changed his mind. After handing over the defense task of Hera Fortress to First Company Commander Ackerman, he then led others, together with Caul and others, to the temple where the Primarch was.
In other words, a cemetery.
From Duanmu Huai's point of view, this temple was no different from many ancient tombs. The magnificent murals in the hall depict Guilliman's past history, including the battle with the Word Bearers that Duanmu Huai was familiar with. Duanmu Huai even saw on the mural the scene where he used three protoss motherships to destroy the three profane giant ships on the opposite side.
Hmm... I have to say, this feeling is quite wonderful. I don't know what Guilliman will think when he wakes up and sees this thing.
Duanmuhuai felt that this temple should have been built after Guilliman was put into the stasis field. After all, it was impossible for him to build an imperial mausoleum before his death like those emperors in history...
And in the middle of this temple is the Primarch sleeping in the stasis field. He still stands there motionless, and the damaged armor on his body seems to have not changed at all compared to ten thousand years ago. However, Duanmuhuai was not concerned about Guilliman himself at the moment. On the contrary, he looked at the flowers, sacred candles and what looked like a message board for blessings under Guilliman's "altar" with a strange expression... …
Are you treating the Primarch as a tourist attraction? How much does it cost to come in for a visit?
Although it is not that Duanmu Huai cannot understand this approach, but...how should I put it...
He's not dead yet, at least not completely dead... Duanmuhuai decided to wait for Guilliman to wake up and ask him what he thought about being used to sell tickets, and then calculate the ticket prices and see Guilliman. Is it worth the price?
"The Great Sage."
Arriving under the throne of the original body, Chapter Master Calgar turned and stared at Caul, while the Ultramarines also raised their weapons and aimed at Caul and others. It's not that Duanmuhuai can't understand this. After all, someone inexplicably said that it can wake up your father who has slept for ten thousand years - everyone thinks this is pure nonsense, right?
That is to say, the Ultramarines seem to have done a good job in team building. If you were to be elsewhere, it might end up like those palace battles.
Duanmu Huai didn't believe that every Ultramarine wanted Guilliman to wake up. If the Black Legion and Ultramarines hadn't been fighting fiercely over Macragge right now, there might have been a palace fight here. .
"I hope you can explain the details of your mission."
"Of course, Chapter Master."
Kaul took a step forward, stared at him and spoke.
"As I said, this is one of the agreements that Lord Guilliman made with me ten thousand years ago. He had already foreseen that he would die in the near future. At that time, Lord Guilliman asked me to After this happened, I tried to save him and now, after ten thousand years... I finally succeeded!"
As he spoke, Kaul turned to the box that looked like a coffin beside him.
"The Armor of Destiny, as long as you put it on, you can wake up the original body from a long sleep! And the purpose of my coming here is to wake up the original body!"
"What!?"
Although Caul had explained it to some extent before, when Caul revealed the true nature of his mission, all the Ultramarines were shocked.
"However, this alone is not enough."
But at this moment, Bean sprout Evereni opened her mouth and poured cold water on the Ultramarines.
"In addition to the armor he forged, healing your Primarch will require the power of the Eldar Death, whom I represent."
"Why!?"
Calgar obviously couldn't accept this ridiculous suggestion.
"Why do I need to rely on aliens to cure my father?"
"Because the pain on your original body is the corrupt poison from the subspace, and the power of death that I represent can reverse life and death and awaken the original body. However..."
Having said this, Efreni paused.
"The current original body is not dead yet, it just stays in the moment before death. In order to resurrect him, I must first use divine power to kill him, and then use the armor to resurrect him..."
"Shut up! Alien!"
Before Evereni finished speaking, Calga interrupted her speech with an angry roar.
"Just because of this inexplicable reason, you want to kill my father? I will never allow your conspiracy to succeed! Damn the alien! As long as I am alive for one day, I will never let the alien wizard get close to my father!"
"You're right."
Duanmuhuai also said coldly. He stared at Efreni and held the war hammer in his hand.
"Only you bean sprouts can think of such heretical behavior, and I don't think you aliens can be so kind. Use the power of the Eldar Death to resurrect Guilliman? Who can guarantee that you Eldar will not What tricks will be used in Guilliman's body to restrict or even control him?"
Having said this, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Or do you want to make a replica of Horus?"
"Horus?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Why did Guilliman's matter involve Horus? Duanmuhuai also shrugged his shoulders and then explained to them.
"During the Great Crusade, Horus was injured by a magic sword when he was conquering the alien races and fell into a coma. At that time, the Luna Wolves—oh, no, the Sons of Horus tried many methods to no avail. Rescue Horus. Later, they heard a rumor that they could bring the Warmaster back to life by sending him to a foreign temple. Then the Sons of Horus sent their primarch father into that temple, but in fact, it was the temple of the Chaos God. After a few days, Horus did appear from it, and his injuries were serious. But in fact, at that time, he had been corrupted by the evil god, and eventually started a rebellion..."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stared at Efreni.
"What's going on? You Eldar think this trick works so well, are you going to use it on Guilliman?"
Before he finished speaking, those extreme warriors immediately raised their guns and aimed at Efreni. Indeed, just like Duanmuhuai said, the current scene is simply a replica of Horus's time!
Are they going to make the same mistake again?
"But, only we can do this."
Even when faced with the guns of the Ultramarines, Eveleni's expression did not change at all.
"The corrupting poison in the warp comes from the cursed youngest goddess, and according to the prophecy, only the Eldar Death God can kill the youngest goddess and completely purify the original body of the corrupting poison..."
"Stop talking about those prophecies."
Duanmuhuai contemptuously interrupted Eveleni's defense.
"When did those broken prophecies of your Eldar race work? If the prophecies were useful, would you still be like this? If it was just to purify the corrupt poison, I would be able to do it without the power of your Eldar Death God. ! ”
"You?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Evereni was stunned for a moment, and looked at Duanmuhuai in front of her with surprise. Duanmuhuai did not look at Evereni anymore, but looked at the great sage Kaul and the battle group. Long Calga.
"Since it's so simple, the next step is easy. I'll be responsible for purifying the corruption poison, and then Caul will put the Armor of Destiny on Guilliman. Okay, that's the plan. Are there any questions?"
"This..."
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Kaul was silent, but he soon remembered the incomprehensible miracle that Duanmuhuai had shown on the battlefield in Cadia.
Although Evereni's previous statement was also very convincing, Kaul felt that Duanmu Huai, who had already demonstrated his power in Cardia, must have more say in this regard.
At least since he says he can solve it, then believe him.
If you don’t believe him, why don’t you believe this damn alien?
So Kaul also nodded.
"I have no objection."
Then, he spoke.
