Chapter 370 In Orbit of Terra
“After that day, the Emperor announced his existence in front of Chogoris. Chogoris respected the celestial phenomena, and Chagatai, the Sky Khan, took the initiative to swear allegiance to the Emperor. He easily gained the trust of Chogoris.
"Then Chagatai Khan stayed in Chogoris for more than a month. The ostensible reason was that the Emperor asked the Khan to set various operating rules for Chogolis in the future, formulate clear laws, and allow the planet to recuperate after the war.
"Of course, you can guess the real reason - the emperor's fleet was not near Chogoris at the time, so he could only get a phantom to board the world ridge of Chogoris and do some accurate things. I assisted him in the ritual activities of pretending to be gods and ghosts, and even the visions of heaven and earth.
"It takes more than a month for the emperor's fleet to arrive at Qiao. Goris is just picking up people.
"I will return to Terra on the Emperor's flagship with Jaghatai Khan. I don't know whether you will enter the solar system first or we will reach the throne room first. No matter what, we will reach the same destination by different routes in the end.
“On the way, I asked Jaghatai what name he had decided to give the Fifth Corps. Among the legions that originally had their own names, the Star Hunters were actually a relatively good group, but Khan's personal style had always been strong.
"A few days later, when he was playing regicide with me, he suggested the name 'White Scars'. When I heard this name for the first time, and then saw their legion colors, others would think of it as The word 'white' is important. But when others see the achievements of this Legion, they will understand why the Fifth Legion can become an eternal scar in the hearts of enemies.
"Besides, the Emperor seems to represent everything. Normal, but he definitely suffered some kind of setback, perhaps due to derailments, errors, or other sudden factors in his plan. Malcador was equally evasive about this, and hinted that after Horus returned from his mission, they would discuss how to inform the appropriate people about this matter based on the actual situation.
“Anyway, after I confirmed that there was no sudden planet explosion on Terra, no sudden helium flash on the sun, and no sudden collapse of the palace due to substandard construction quality, I stopped asking.
"The Emperor trusts you, Perturabo, and if he decides to issue a mission in private, you and Horus Luperkar are both first choices. I am sure you will know the problem in time.
< br>"Writing it here for the time being, this long letter is probably the longest letter I have written in recent years - I know I said the same thing when I wrote to you last time. Believe me, this letter is really The longest in recent times.
“Other than that, I have nothing else to say.
“Attachment: Some Chogoris landscape paintings that I painted in my spare time. I haven't written in this style for a long time, and I'm really unfamiliar with it.
“Additional attachment: Are you rummaging through the Great Library of Terra for ancient Terran cultural materials that are similar to Chogoris culture, and trying to learn their architectural style? I know what I mentioned last time Regarding this matter, it is good to learn more knowledge, but Chagatai Khan even rejected the application of the Mechanics to renovate the paddy fields, so I am afraid there is really no need for you to appear this time, the great angel of construction. Perturabo ”
Perturabo sighed deeply, turned off the Thinker Array, disconnected the newly cleaned data line, and stopped browsing the ancient Terran East Asian cultural collections in the database.
His eyes moved outside the porthole, and across the steel structure of the Cheorwon, he could see the shadow of Terra: a huge gray sphere, surrounded by countless busy ships. It was like this every time, except that the outline of the huge Terran Palace seemed to be expanding again, there was no other difference. At least that's what it looks like from orbital distance.
The metal strips in those ports seem to have become an inseparable part of this source of human civilization forever, barely maintaining the shape of the Throne World, binding and fixing it within the Tianchuan Galaxy, so that it will not break away. The great wheel of the world is gone.
Perturabo stared at all this calmly. Olympia and Terra have embarked on two development paths. Although he projects his emotions on his home planet, sometimes he actually regards Olympia's benign development as a preview of Terra.
On the day when the Empire does not need to pour all its fuel into the maw of war, he will change Terra, and he believes that no one who truly cares about the fate of mankind will accept the old land as it is now. .
On the other side of Terra, a fleet is entering orbit. Judging from its size, it should be the fleet of a Primarch Legion. However, before Perturabo could really see it clearly with the ship's augur, huge energy fluctuations suddenly occurred in the universe. The light slid in multiple directions on the spectrum, from red to indigo, under the blessing of environmental changes. , and then continues to change within the range of the original body's vision-at this time, it has exceeded the definition of color made by human vision.
Then, it goes deep into the category of invisible light. Between the visible and invisible slits, the Milky Way seems to fall into darkness, like the universe inside an eggshell, dim and unclear.
The next moment, a ray of golden light pointed directly at the soul pierced the black dome, leaked out along the cracks in the real universe, and instantly transformed into a golden light.
The Emperor's fleet returns at this moment.
Perturabo was about to look away, focusing more on something worthy of attention. His eyes glanced at the thick letter on the table, and suddenly he remembered that Morse mentioned that he and Chagatai Khan returned home on the emperor's flagship.
In Morse's letters, he was deeply impressed by Chagatai Khan's maverick behavior.
The Iron Lord does not believe that he can gain friendship with Chagatai Khan without making any effort, and even after making efforts, it may not be possible. He will make some attempts, but has no intention of forcing it. No one can make everyone in the world admire and love him, not even the Emperor.
He remembered that the orbital dockyard of the Lunar Shipyard should be building the Glory Queen-class battleship. If Jaghatai had some objections to his own battleship... Perturabo had already built it for himself and Konrad Curze. After buying two ships, the third ship was even more familiar - anyway, the materials can be directly transferred from Terra, there is no need to save.
After the Emperor's fleet entered the harbor, Pertura ordered the Iron Warriors to enter the Terra spaceport from the other side. Several Warsmiths followed him down to the palace to meet the Emperor.
It is worth mentioning that after reaching the level of Warsmith, a warrior gains access to the secrets of the Webway.
It is impossible for Perturabo to hide this major event from the top officers who conveyed his war orders and discussed the important affairs of the legion with him. The promotion to this level also proves their loyalty and ability.
"Chagatai has a good impression of you." A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Perturabo subconsciously glanced at the cabinet used to store clothes in the office, and then realized that he was working for the craftsmen on the Cheorwon. Got a separate room.
He turned around calmly and nodded slightly: "Why, Morse?"
Morse shrugged and took out a box of small yellow fruits from the air. The moment he saw it, Perturabo's pupils shrank slightly.
"Maybe it's because... people who can hold riding competitions don't have bad taste?" The craftsman said with a smile, "Long time no see, would you like some Chogolis fruit?"
Peturabo is cautious Staring at the fruits, he came up with a plan: "Leave it to Roger Dorn, he should want to eat it more."
Morse's smile widened, and he shook his head with pretense of regret: "Oh, You missed something delicious, Perturabo”
