Chapter 269 The Concept of Two Era
Guilliman listened to Mathieu, the war apostle’s almost threatening words. He didn’t say much. He just looked at the beggar-like war apostle in front of him. Silence.
For him, who came to this era from the Great Crusade, the man in front of him was already crazy. He was completely immersed in his religious fanaticism.
“Well, that’s right.”
Suddenly, Wang Ming appeared next to Guilliman. He was also looking at Mathieu. He smiled at the horse Thieu said that he knew that Mathieu had received the order and that the "God Emperor" had revealed it to Mathieu.
"The great primarch."
When Mathieu saw Wang Ming, he bowed slightly and performed an eagle salute. When the emperor inspired him, he told him that Wang Ming was him in this world. executor.
"Go ahead and do it. Since it is my father's order, we will not stop it."
Wang Ming looked at Mathieu and patted this mortal on the shoulder. The primarch's large hands almost covered his upper body.
Guilliman narrowed his eyes. He saw Wang Ming's action and remembered the mortal who was tainted by Chaos that Wang Ming killed on Macragge. Could it be that Wang Ming had already discovered What? Is he going to kill Mathieu?
However, this matter did not go as Guilliman thought. Wang Ming just patted Mathieu on the shoulder. He controlled his strength very well and patted with the strength of a mortal.
"My lord..."
Matthew looked at Wang Ming with a grateful face. He felt the tolerance and understanding of this son of God towards him. He had no doubt about the original gene. Divinity, they are the sons of God, and they also have the same divinity as the God-Emperor.
“I know what you are thinking, Mathieu, you think that my brothers and I have divinity, but I tell you now, I don’t need divinity, and I don’t want to be a god, The fate of mankind should be in our own hands."
Wang Ming patted Mathieu on the shoulder. He suddenly changed his tone and said to Mathieu with a serious face.
"I understand the original body..."
Matthew looked at Wang Ming and nodded. He was even more sure that Wang Ming was a god, because gods would not admit that they were gods.
“Let’s go, my brother, we still have a lot of things to do.”
Wang Ming looked at Mathieu. He looked at the enthusiastic eyes of the emperor’s believer and knew Yeah, this guy definitely didn't listen to a word of it.
“Yeah.”
Guilliman nodded to Wang Ming, and then followed Wang Ming away. If Mathieu really received the revelation from the God Emperor, then he would not interfere with any of Mathieu's actions.
“Look, look, these things are really disgusting.”
In a wilderness, Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng was leading his group on several vehicles The suspended tank was walking on the route leading to the giant cauldron of Nurgle. Along the way, they walked with the corpses of various zombies and demons, almost covering their path. Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng sat on the roof of the suspended tank. He waved With the stinking blood on his power knife, he kept chattering in his mouth. He hadn't spoken to many people for more than ten thousand years. Now that he has led the army again, he has been chattering about how he opened up territories for mankind in the galaxy. story.
Travelers are more curious about this "golden man". To some extent, this "golden man" is easier to communicate with than humans of this era. They can chat with each other like friends. way to communicate with Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng.
“Oh..., look, is there a building in front of you?”
The floating tank drove up a slope. Lieutenant Zhou Heng suddenly saw something. He pointed to a place in front and asked the people around him.
“That’s a church.”
Wang Lei, who was driving the vehicle in the hover tank, looked ahead and recognized it at once. It was a small church. In that small church, And some faint lights.
Wang Lei is the leader of the time travelers. He was assigned by Wang Ming to Lieutenant Zhou Heng to go with him to destroy the giant cauldron of Nurgle.
"It seems that there are still people who are still alive in this situation. They need rescue."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng also saw the lights in the church. He said something to the travelers, then jumped off the hover tank and rushed towards the chapel. In his heart, the lives of human civilians are always the most important. of.
The time travelers and the Nova Warriors Astartes looked at Lieutenant Zhou Heng who rushed towards the church, and then also rushed towards the chapel.
“Bah bang bang…”
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng ran to the door of the chapel, and then knocked on the door of the chapel, trying to tell the civilians inside that the empire’s rescue was coming, Aspen The Tats also stopped the hover tank and got out of the vehicle. The Nova Soldiers were very curious. Logically speaking, the war has been going on for so long, so there shouldn't be civilians living here.
“Kakaka…”
In the chapel, the civilians heard the rhythmic knocking. Through the observation port on the door, they saw Lieutenant Zhou Heng and the Astartes. When they saw the emperor's angel, they immediately cheered. Opening the church doors, they praised the Emperor's mercy and sent down the angel to save them.
"Praise the angels, praise the emperor."
People opened the door of the church, and they looked at the emperor's angels at the door. They praised the emperor and praised the emperor's death. Angel.
The Nova Warriors Astartes looked at the civilians. They cautiously asked about the identities of these civilians and why they were in this church. They learned about these civilians by asking the Nova Warriors. Why are they still alive today? They are a group of homeless civilians. After the war broke out, they gathered in this church. How can they survive until now in this land full of viruses and demons? Because of their devout faith in the God-Emperor.
"Second Lieutenant, this is a risky behavior of yours. Contact with them will expose our actions. We do not have the ability to evacuate them now. Once they are caught by the enemy, the original body will be assigned to Our mission is over.”
Edmo looked at the civilians in front of him who were cheering for seeing the Angel of Death, and said to Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng. Edmo was very disgusted with contact with civilians. The original body ordered them to act in secret, so they must do so in secret. action.
"They are civilians, citizens of the Human Empire, and humans. Our duty is to protect them."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng glanced at Edmo, and then said to him, this He doesn't like soldiers who are unkind to civilians. He knows the darkness of this era, but he will not change his mind because of the darkness of this era. He is a federal soldier, and his duty is to protect mankind, no matter what time. .
"We cannot be exposed, Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng!" Edmo raised his bolter and aimed at the civilians. They cannot be exposed because of these civilians. Their mission is related to this Ultra. Ma's safety.
"Put down the gun!"
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng glared at Edmo and scolded him sternly.
“Kill them, they will expose us!”
Edmo looked at Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng, and ordered the Nova Warriors and time travelers he led to raise their weapons, Killing those civilians, they could not be exposed because of these civilians, and he had already criticized the leadership of Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng.
The Nova Warriors heard Edmor's order. Except for the veterans, the other Primaris Space Marines who were newly added to the battle group hesitated. They are the Primaris Space Marines who came from 10,000 years ago. The Astartes who were sleeping until now, the training and knowledge they received made them responsible for protecting the people of the Empire. Now Edmor asked them to kill civilians, which they could not accept for a while.
"Whoa!"
Before the Nova Warriors raised their weapons, the time travelers quickly raised their weapons, but they were not referring to civilians, but to Edmo. They would not kill any loyal person. Imperial civilians, not under any circumstances.
And these civilians can survive to this day entirely because of their devout belief in the Emperor.
“We do not belong to the Nova Warriors.”
Wang Lei sees Looking at Edmo, he said to Edmo, they are the 21st Legion, the Astartes of the Legion. When did we need to obey the lieutenant of a mere war regiment?
"Put down your guns, I am your commander."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng looked at the two groups of Astartes who were suddenly facing each other and frowned. He didn't like disobedient soldiers. It will cause some uncontrollable problems in the task.
“You are just a mortal!”
Edmo finally couldn’t stand it any longer for Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng, a “mortal”. He had great objections to this mortal commanding them, and now he was finally Put it out there.
After Lieutenant Zhou Heng heard Edmo's words, he really couldn't help it. The genetically modified warriors of this era don't know if there is something wrong with them. They have transformed themselves after some genetic enhancement and biological enhancement surgery. What did you think? You are still a mortal, you are still a human being, you still think you are a god?
The long knife instantly appeared in the hands of Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng. He looked at Edmo and was about to execute him on the spot. Edmo also looked at Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng. He knew the abilities of Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng, but he thought they were all just this mortal. Obtained by relying on his strange power armor, as an Astartes, he has no fear of such mortals who rely on external objects.
"Second Lieutenant, I will stay here. I will protect these civilians and will not let any enemy catch them."
At this tense moment, a time traveler suddenly Walking between them, he blocked the somewhat angry gazes of both of them.
"Okay."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng looked at the time traveler and nodded. He still has great trust in these Wang Ming's descendants. They have the thoughts of normal soldiers, protecting human beings and dealing with Scientific and technological enterprise (1st Engineer Company).
"Let's go."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng looked at Edmo. There was some anger in his golden pupils. He was already very angry about Edmo's behavior, but he looked at Wang Ming's face. Instead of directly killing the disobedient soldier.
Leaving one time traveler to protect the civilians, the team continued to move forward. Although there were some conflicts in the team, the mission was still the first priority. In fact, Edmo's idea was correct. He was worried Those civilians will expose them. They are performing the task of protecting the entire Ultramar and cannot make any mistakes.
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng is also correct. His philosophy as a federal soldier allows him to put the protection of civilians first and not allow humans to be killed.
The two come from different eras, with different philosophies and different ideas. Edmo has adapted to this dark era, while Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng still maintains his idea of a federal soldier protecting all mankind.
"There's still a short distance to go..."
The team rode the hover tank and approached the ruins of the hospital. According to the information discovered by the oil man who operated the psychic search device, that was where the giant cauldron of Nurgle was located.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Just as the team continued to move forward, a violent explosion suddenly came from the distance. It was the direction of the hillside where the hospital ruins were located. Someone We have arrived there and are exchanging fire with the enemy.
"Let's go! Let's go support the friendly forces."
Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng heard the explosion in the distance. He jumped off the hover tank and immediately rushed over there at full speed. Their friendly troops had already arrived at the attack position, so they should quickly support them.
"This speed..."
Edmo looked at Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng who was rushing towards the battlefield. Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng disappeared in front of them almost instantly. The moment I saw it, Lieutenant Zhou Heng didn't have that "power armor" on him at all when he was running. He relied entirely on his own body to achieve that terrifying speed.
He finally discovered that Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng was not simple. He originally thought that Second Lieutenant Zhou Heng was a mortal who only relied on his power armor, but now he understands that this guy is also a super human.
"The XXI Legion has a secret."
Edmo thought that he seemed to have discovered some secrets of the 21st Legion based on Lieutenant Zhou Heng. He thought about whether he should tell Guilliman about these things after the battle. He needed to let his original body know. Something from the 21st Legion.
“Let’s go.”
Wang Lei drove the hover tank and followed Lieutenant Zhou Heng. As time travelers, they naturally knew what was going on. War Apostle Mathieu led a group of The Cadian Armored Regiment attacked the ruins of the hospital, and he was carrying out the Emperor's mission.
The hover tanks approached the hillside, and they finally saw their target. A disgusting green mist rose into the sky from the hillside, and a twisted subspace storm was fluctuating in the sky. There was Home to Nurgle's Cauldron.
“Uh…”
In the traveler's floating tank, Elise, the Eldar prophet, suddenly took off her helmet, then covered her head and retched.
Beside her, the two immortals are also in bad condition. They are both relatively high-level psykers. Psychics are very sensitive to situations where the power of evil gods is abundant. They The psychic senses sensed Nurgle's evil power almost immediately, as if they were in direct contact with a piece of shit. Two people and one Eldar had shit-eating expressions on their faces. They immediately used their psychic powers to Take it back, Nurgle's evil power is too terrifying.
