Chapter 321 Iron Warriors·Four Seasons·Part One
According to the Adeptus Mechanicus' preference for war machinery and the transformation of wherever they go, as well as the pursuit of driving the giant skeleton of Titan, maybe Mohana Decades later, Mankata Vee will finally enter the emulsion that provides nutrition to the human body, sleep within the cold steel confinement and entanglement of life-sustaining wires, and become one with her Titan forever.
But at least today, outside the newly built fortress, the daughter of King Rahaganan, the respectable lady who will become the matron of the family in the future, is still just a lover. Mahavey, a huntress with a plump forehead, reflective hair, and a strong body.
"Thank you for your work, Lord Perturabo," Mohana saluted the Primarch of the Iron Warriors, the yellow and black Iron Skull banner of the Iron Warriors Legion flying atop the fortress behind her.
That is not a military flag, but a hand-made flag that the Iron Warriors will erect on the edge of the construction site during the completion of a set of construction tasks as a symbol standing in the smoke and scorching sun.
In recent years, this flag has been fluttered in countless corners of the Milky Way, fluttering in the wind, or hanging down in the mist. It never failed to live up to the ambitions of the Great Crusade, always fulfilling the duties assigned to it by the Emperor and more.
"We will remember you and everything you have done for the empire." Mohana smiled, "Although this sentence is said by us, it is somewhat inappropriate for your noble status."< br>
"I will regard it as a joke." Perturabo lowered his head and let the mortal woman touch his hard steel gauntlet, "Any more quality doubts and subsequent suspected defects will be eliminated through the machinery. Contact the Iron Warriors. This is an important passage into the solar system. You cannot be too cautious."
"Yes, Lord Perturabo bids you farewell."
"Goodbye."
Perturabo raised his hand, stroked the horse raised by Mohana, and carefully rubbed the mane on the horse's neck. This strong and wild creature was under his palm, rubbing gently against his palm.
He retracted his palm, boarded the Empire's transport vehicle, and returned to the port leading to space. The Iron Warriors' space fortress, Cheelwon, is hanging high in the orbit outside the planet, like a beautifully designed hollow silver coin, suspended in the middle of the clear sky.
During the several-hour short journey back to the Cheorwon, Perturabo would occasionally think of what Morse had told him about Mortarion.
The return story closely related to this brother has come to an end. Maybe the next time he returns to Terra, there is a chance that he will meet Mortarion who has not yet set sail with the fleet. Perturabo hoped that the other party would like his gift.
Another thing that surprised him was that Magnus was able to find like-minded people who agreed with his psionic views. On the throne, Magnus was like a formidable enemy in the use of psionic powers. His cautious attitude led Robert Guilliman to visit him several times in private with precise and euphemistic words of despair.
After all, after starting to consider safety issues, Robert barely touched the threshold of psychic realm, and then quickly fell back to the starting point due to additional conditions.
Morse's description of Mortarion made Perturabo wonder what wonderful things would happen if he had the chance to meet Robert.
Perhaps after Robert thinks he is freed from Magnus's psychic teachings, he will quickly discover that his brother actually masters advanced numerology.
——But the names of Morse and Mortarion are really similar. Perturabo suddenly thought.
Perhaps he should have given a name similar to "Peturabo" to the unknown man in black robe at Olympia.
As for Morse himself, according to the character of a craftsman, the more colorful his complaints are and focusing on the trivial things in life, the better it is that his mood and state are good.
If he has the energy to start a writing contest with Perturabo in letters thousands of miles apart, it means that he has too much free time.
Perturabo opened the data pad and received a new round of battle reports. There is no need to mention the news from the network for now. There have been no large-scale casualties recently, which is the best news. While he is focusing on the construction of Betagamon's defense system, some of his descendants will also carry out independent campaigns under the leadership of the war blacksmith in accordance with the requirements of the Gene Father.
The battle of the Iron Warriors is as admirable as ever. The battlefield turned into a forging anvil under their hands. Under strict calculation and layout, every step of the war was completed step by step. , if necessary, observe the situation being forged on the anvil, pick out the areas that need to be adjusted, and make timely adjustments.
If Perturabo himself is present, it can certainly improve their record, but most of the time, this improvement will not be too great. This speaks volumes about how awesome Iron Warriors is.
Perturabo also receives letters or messages from other Primarchs. He was happy to deal with the letters, and there weren't many of them throughout the year anyway.
During the Great Expedition, limited by the differences in time, space, region and cultural background, these brothers who are connected by blood are not actually closely related to each other.
Even Horus Luperkar, the particularly beloved Son of the First Returned, was not in constant contact with each of his brothers.
Perturabo is a unique exception. Among the brothers he brought back to Terra at that time, Rogal Dorn, Angron, and Magnus have always maintained stable contact with him, and Robert Guilliman occasionally sends a few greetings—— Perturabo suspected that he would send regular greetings to all the Primarchs simultaneously.
After the Olympiad, Fulgrim would come to see him from time to time, sometimes chatting, sometimes discussing the construction of the Chemos Theater.
By the way, the person who had the closest friendship with Wolf King Leman Russ turned into the Crimson King Magnus at some point. There are complex background reasons for this, but the reason can be summarized in one sentence, "How come the Rune Priest is not a psyker?"
Only Konrad Coates, his news is almost lost in the sea of stars, just like he himself is happy to hide in the depths of darkness. The only message came from a few days ago and read, "The radiation concentration in Baal's blood is too high, my brother." This made Perturabo begin to recall whether Conrad had the habit of drinking blood and eating flesh.
Perturabo selected a briefing that described a relatively unique situation from many battle reports.
In the report of the soldiers, they encountered a strange alien civilization during the battle. The alien individual itself seemed to be covered in thick dead skin, waste and mold, adapted to a life of cave dwelling and nocturnal walking, and Their bodies seem to generate a strange force field, causing the surrounding weapons, buildings, terrain, etc. to age.
His warriors truthfully reported that they were unable to deal with this alien situation alone, which made Perturabo decide to see for himself what kind of force was capable of stopping the Iron Warriors' advance.
Perturabo entered the space fortress from the central connection port, boarded the shuttle, and watched the scenes on both sides recede before his eyes.
According to the current chronology of the Terra Palace, it is spring now, and the landscape plants inside the Cheorwon have added more greenery.
Roger Dorn gave him all the alternative garden design plans that were not used in the Terra Palace. This is why the Cheorwon is currently full of flowers.
During the next season, Perturabo decided to remove some of the greenhouses and allocate the space they occupied to the Masons' Club.
After the shuttle arrived at the designated location, Perturabo left the indoor suspension vehicle, entered his command room, and connected the neural data cable behind his head to the Cheorwon's internal network.
The Cheorwon's next stop will be the ancient Gaien system. Before the fleet arrives in the Satrada Abyss area, Perturabo decides to seize the time to learn more about the opponents they will face.
