Chapter 124 The Chatting Time of the Warriors (Part 1)
Kedomor Frix found Azak Ahriman on the bottom of the battle barge tentatively designated as the flagship of the Iron Warriors Primarch In the museum.
These foreign visitors from the Sun of Thousand Dusts will participate in some of the Iron Warriors' daily training, abide by regular activity times, and apply to cooperate with different hundred-man squads to participate in various battles.
Although most of them are quiet people, these warriors do follow the instructions of the Gene Father without any compromise, absorbing water and nutrients from the Iron Warriors' tactical style like water-starved tree roots, and regularly Reporting to their Primarch who was advancing an expedition into uncharted territory.
Privately, their relationship with the Iron Warriors is getting better and better - these red-armored warriors are the company commanders of the auxiliary front company, and they use a lot of gestures and abstract descriptions to express their combat experience clearly. The only person who finally summarized it into a battle report that the father of genes could understand.
It can be said that if there was no Sun of Thousand Dusts, an Iron Warrior would be whipped into the office by Perturabo every week, banging the table and asking them if they had just started to read.
In your free time, if someone wants to find these scholars with red armor and gold emblems, they can try their luck in every corner of the ship.
The probability of Ancuenan appearing on the deck shopping is greater than that of appearing in the library, while the probability of Hasta appearing in the cafeteria is inexplicably high. As for Ahriman, it would be best to try his luck in the Masons' Club, the ship's library, or the Meditation Room.
If a certain mat in that unnoticed place had been moved, it must mean that Ahriman had recently sat or lay there and spent a pleasant time doing divination with the black crows.
"Kaidomo," Ahriman said, "I hope you come to me this time and are not asking me to divine the true identity of that person again."
"Last time I was entrusted by my comrades." Fricks said, Ahriman captured some hidden meaning based on bets and misfortunes in the word "entrusted". "I don't like to question my primarch, nor do I like to provoke my primarch's nerves with my conjectures."
Ahriman closed the book gently with a protective attitude and put the thin volume back on the bookshelf. Frix noted that it was a remnant of pre-Old Night literature, a book that few battle brothers read.
"I did not question your meaning." The scholar said, "It is just a suggestion. To obey the words of the Crimson King, we investigators need to stay away from unbearable secrets."
" I apologize to you, Azak." Frix said simply, "Will you participate in this large-scale construction event?"
"I am a black crow." Ahriman said. Reasons replaced verbal rejection.
As he puts it, he is a professional diviner who relies on short-term foresight on conventional battlefields and works closely with practitioners of combat. But after embarking on another battlefield of transporting bricks and stones, it was difficult for him to keep up with the pace of work within the Iron Warriors.
“This time is different from conventional construction.” Fricks said, “Because Witt is covered with ice and snow, this is a challenge.”
“What else?” Azak Smiled.
“This is the home planet of a Primarch.” Frix said, “I did not participate in the construction of Prospero. This is the first time I have entered the world of a Primarch. "
Ahriman heard regret in Phrix's voice. Scholars know that this is because Phrix has not yet witnessed the Olympia he yearned for so much.
During their first meeting, after exchanging names to establish a basis for communication, the two quickly turned the conversation to the home planets of their respective legions.
Ahriman expected nothing more from Prospero, while Frix was deeply dissatisfied with the shadow under Mount Atmoor of Terra. The Terran Iron Warrior "expected a world with green firs", and Ahriman could only reply that he expected a library that he had been told had been burned during the intensive training for the return of the Primarch of the Fifteenth Legion.
Azhak Ahriman lowered his head and stared at the solid ground, giving him the illusion that he was seeing the shell of ice and snow through the cabin.
Prospero was a combination of ruins and ruins before the arrival of the Iron Warriors, while Invite was the materialization of ice, snow and cold wind. The difficulty of building Invite is even higher than that of the Thousand Dust Sun Legion's home planet.
He admitted that he had always wanted to witness how the Iron Warriors, who devoted all their efforts to construction, carried out engineering projects in their unique orderly and busy manner, spreading a city on the spot in the desolation. What has always hindered him is the fear of being limited by his abilities, and Fricks' invitation will be the best reason to take the first step.
The scholar ended his meditation and replied to the patient warrior: "This will also be the first time I have the opportunity to see the construction process of the original body's home planet. I will apply with Lord Perturabo to observe the internship and provide Any help I can do."
He paused: "But if I remember correctly, it's shooting training time for the Iron Warriors?"
Flix smiled. , he doesn’t laugh often, and his laughter sounds like the friction of metal pieces.
“Today is an impromptu meeting day. Half of the higher-level commanders are having active discussions in the combat center around future cooperation with the Seventh Army and current architectural design, while the other half are busy planning how to integrate the combat barges The supplies on board were handed over to the Iron Blood of the Gene Father and we got a day off.”
Ahriman suddenly realized: "There is a significant increase in the number of people wandering in the direction of the gallery today."
What is hanging on the wall of Iron Warrior's gallery is not a variety of classical or avant-garde color paintings. In fact, their exhibitions The museum is filled with architectural drawings.
Most of the drawings of non-confidential projects will go into the storage room after the project is completed. A few particularly outstanding ones will be hung on the wall of the Iron Warriors Gallery, with the drawing time, place, author, and purpose marked. Attached are photos of the most artistic angle of the complete building.
The drawings on display are usually screened by the captain of the hundred-man team and sent to the team leader for review. The commander of the large battalion and the war blacksmiths who managed several battalions were only responsible for visiting during their busy schedules. Sometimes they would also select some outstanding buildings they saw, ask for the corresponding drawings, and hang them in the empty spaces in the gallery.
It is worth mentioning that the late war blacksmith Defes once asked for an excellent work from the mortal auxiliary army to hang.
Different from the large-scale design drawings such as opera houses, towering towers, and parliament palaces that are often posted on the wall, that drawing is a square prefabricated residential building composed of prefabricated panels and reinforced concrete parts.
There is almost no decoration in the building, and the construction layout of each unit is as uniform as a copy. The internal space is narrow, but all kinds of facilities with living functions are readily available, and the construction speed is extremely fast. It is completely of practical buildings.
When I first saw this object on display, there was a small discussion within the Iron Warriors.
Many people insist that the works used for display should be the benchmark for inheriting human architectural aesthetic standards, just like the huge platinum theater built by the father of genes in Olympia and the whole is composed of geometric shapes, with walls stacked on top of each other and staggered. Like the Youzhi Iron Warriors Memorial Hall, it is either grand or unique.
Ahriman actually supported this group at the time, until Frix told him that Perturabo personally moved the drawing from a corner of the gallery to the center, where it was exhibited for more than a month.
"Are you free now, Kaidomo?" Ahriman said.
“What do you want me to do?” Fricks replied, “I will continue to practice repairing the instrument equipment in the cabin.”
“I just plan to go to the gallery.” Ahriman shook his head, "Since you have a plan, I will go there by myself. See you later."
Suddenly, rapid footsteps came from the door of the library.
“You are really here,” said Ancuénan, “Ahriman, and—”
"Kaidomo Frix," Ahriman said.
"Hello, Frix." Ancuenan hurriedly greeted the Iron Warriors recruit who sometimes appeared next to Azak Ahriman, and then said, "Ahriman , Lord Perturabo needs you, it sounds like there is an emergency on the ground."
