Chapter 605 Conversation between the Primarchs
On the main street of this city, human troops are struggling to support themselves. Countless demons are raging on the streets, and they are constantly attacking humans. Under the impact of these demons, the human front is already in danger. Thermal weapons cannot stop the footsteps of these demons. The concept represented by Khorne can offset the power of thermal weapons. Those thermal weapons hit the demons like It's like a water gun.
The most effective weapons against demons are loyal faith, a sword that is not afraid of demons, and the holy flame.
The local planetary defense forces have gone crazy. They cannot stand the fear and anger brought by Khorne. After these feelings are merged together, they have turned into the ultimate anger. They have Some rushed towards the demons, and some rushed towards their comrades. They were completely crazy.
Like a group of headless flies, they rushed towards the demons, waving bayonets in their hands, while the Planetary Defense Force soldiers who rushed towards their comrades picked up the swords in their hands and headed towards Those comrades who lived with him day and night waved their swords.
But when these Planetary Defense Force soldiers who rush towards their comrades are about to rush towards those who still retain their sense, they will be directly beaten into a group of blood mist by a series of explosive bombs.
"Mortal souls cannot stay awake for too long on this battlefield, and the evacuation of civilians must be completed quickly."
A Dark Angel raised a bolter in his hand. Looking at the Planetary Defense Force soldiers who were beaten into blood mist, this was not the first time he had done such a thing. Every day on this battlefield, he killed a large number of mortal soldiers. He had to kill They, even though they are still human, have had their spirits tainted by the twisted power of Chaos.
"My brothers, don't feel sad. Their sacrifices are meaningful. They sacrificed for this world and for the empire."
Beside the Dark Angel, another A Dark Angel looked at the blood mist and said to his brothers. They were recruits who had only joined the Dark Angels in the past few years. Due to the intensive progress of the Renaissance Expedition and the resumption of the formation of the Legion by the Dark Angels, they also joined this campaign. war.
For this war, these new recruits of the Dark Angels are still a little uncomfortable. They were once knights in the feudal world. The justice they carry out in their hearts, at least the justice education they have received since childhood, makes them He was very repelled by the act of killing his comrades.
“What is that in the sky?”
While the two Dark Angels were communicating, countless meteors suddenly appeared in the sky. Those meteors seemed to fall from the broken sky. Like falling into the earth, they are so numerous and so beautiful, just like the meteor showers described in the myth of ancient Terra.
“That’s the airdrop pod.”
The Dark Angels looked at the meteors in the sky. They knew what they were. They were used by the Astartes for orbital airdrops. With such a large number of airdrop pods, if they were Chaos Astartes, the defense of this world would be completely finished.
But these airdrop pods were not from Chaos Astartes. Among these airdrop pods, some flew towards their position and landed directly on the heads of those demons. The huge impact when they landed, It directly knocked away a lot of those demons, and just after the airdrop pods landed, the Dark Angels and the mortal troops finally saw the signs on the airdrop pods clearly.
The red primer, among the red, the golden Imperial Sky Eagle shines in the light, and above the huge airdrop pod, a huge twenty-one metal logo shines on it Then, the Dark Angels recognized which legion the airdrop pod belonged to.
The 21st Legion, the one who established the Meers Industrial World Group, liberated a large number of worlds on the dark side of the empire, reformed the empire's once bloated system, and freed it from the hands of aliens through threats and various interests. Determined, they obtained a webway that could travel at faster than light speeds in the real universe, started a revival expedition, and brought back the legions of their genetic originals.
As for the 21st Legion, almost all the Empire soldiers know that they know where the equipment on their bodies comes from, and they also know who the Legion is that established that industrial world group, and they also know that the Renaissance Who led the expedition?
"It's the cousins of the 21st Legion, they are here."
The Dark Angels looked at the airdrop pod of the 21st Legion. They felt that the world was instantly saved again. After all, looking at the countless airdrop pods falling above the sky, their support had arrived.
"Hello, I am Hu Jin, the commander of the second regiment of the 21st Legion. I am now officially taking over the defense mission of this planet."
Hu Jin looked at the dark man in front of him Angel, this is already the supreme commander of the Dark Angels in this world. As for the former supreme commanders, they have all been sacrificed in the battle with the demons. They only left these who have just undergone adaptation surgery. new recruits.
“Okay.”
The Dark Angel looked at Hu Jin. As the descendants of the Lion King, they did not let down their Primarch. Under this situation, they still brought After those mortal troops completed the arduous defensive battle, now, they can also take a good rest and prepare themselves. The fleet of the 21st Legion has arranged for them the New Astartes transformation surgery. They will start from the 20th Legion. Gain new strength in the army to better complete their work and mission for the Lord of Humanity.
"My brother, I have been thinking about our cause..." Just when the 21st Legion had begun to provide support on the surface of the planet, above the orbit of the planet, there was a huge sun fortress like a satellite. , Wang Ming was having a communication between the original bodies with Lion King and Leman Russ, and while talking, Lion King talked about their careers.
Just like the Great Crusade, the Lion King did not regard the Great Crusade as a war of glory, but as a cause for mankind as a whole. Talking about this again now can be regarded as a kind of recognition of the revival expedition. He has already recognized that the revival expedition is also a part of the cause and a very critical part of it.
"My brother, I know, our career, we are all working hard for this career, aren't we?"
Wang Ming looked at the Lion King in front of him, and he smiled Laughed, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp. For Wang Ming, the time to communicate with his brothers was actually very short. After he brought his brothers back to the empire, He has been busy exploring beyond the borders of the empire and the wars on the dark side of the empire.
He actually had very few opportunities to come into contact with his brothers. The only ones who had the most contact with him were Guilliman and Fulgrim, but they actually didn't understand Wang Ming's character. What appears in front of him has always been a relatively mysterious image.
Not to mention that Wang Ming has very little contact with them, let’s talk about the weapons and equipment in the 21st Legion. The 21st Legion is equipped with the weapons and equipment that were killed by the Lord of Humanity, their father. The 21st Legion can legally possess artificial intelligence and iron men that were once explicitly prohibited from use because of its huge military strength.
With the overwhelming warships and industries that do not require supplies from the imperial system at all, Wang Ming’s brothers in other legions have never understood where Wang Ming’s things came from. Moreover, those things that Wang Ming mastered can actually completely separate from the empire, but he is still loyal to the empire and loyal to his father who is above the Holy Terra.
Wang Ming’s loyalty can be determined, but what he showed among their brothers is too alienating. At least every Primarch who has come into contact with Wang Ming is I felt that I didn't actually understand Wang Ming's true character. Wang Ming seemed to be hiding something in front of them.
But in fact, Wang Ming did not hide anything. He just knew the character of each brother and knew everything about them. This is looking at the world from the perspective of a former observer. He understood everything. , and knows everything, so there is no need for him to have prejudices and differences with his brothers for some things. He knows very well what kind of people his brothers are, and he can also prescribe the right medicine according to their personalities. This is why other The Primarch felt like he had been hiding something from Wang Ming.
"Our cause is important, for mankind as a whole, for our race."
Wang Ming looked at the lion king in front of him, looking at this old lion, the traces of time were already on his face There are too many words left behind, old, tired, and powerless. These words could not appear on a Primarch, but they appear on the face of the Lion King today. The hero is dying. This is Wang Ming’s view of the Lion King. first view.
But even if he is old, he is still a Primarch. Old age brings him not only these, but also brings him some things he has never had before, calmness, sophistication, The solemnity, the restrained character, and some things that only people will know when they are old.
“The revival expedition went very well. In this era, I thought I would spend a lot of time adapting to it, but sadly, I didn’t spend much time adapting to it. I was too used to the war. Familiar, just like Russ, we are so familiar with war that even now, thousands of years later, we are still in the war, and our cause is still unfinished.”
The Lion King is here. After hearing Wang Ming's words, he also picked up the wine glass in front of him. He looked at the red wine in the wine glass and thought about the things Wang Ming had done to establish an industrial world group and let this industrial world group It has almost supported the production capacity of all the military weapons and equipment in the current empire. At the same time, it has signed technology sharing agreements with various legions and handed over a large amount of technology from the dark technology era to other legions.
There was also the improvement of Astartes technology. Just before this conversation began, he met a Primaris Dark Angels veteran who was killed by a Space Wolves new Astartes who had just completed adaptation surgery. Knocked down within a few minutes, everything Wang Mingsuo showed in front of them was too shocking.
“My brother, I know what you are thinking. Tens of thousands of years ago, we faced those wars, and tens of thousands of years later, we are still facing those wars. Our enemies have changed, and The progress of the war remains unchanged, and countless wars are still an obstacle to our career."
Wang Ming looked at the Lion King in front of him. He knew what the Lion King was thinking. In fact, the Lion King didn't care. After the end of the Great Crusade, the fate of the Astartes will be determined. The Emperor and humanity will fight if they need him. When the Emperor and humanity no longer need him, he will lead his legions to guard the borders of the empire without complaint. No regrets, he doesn't care about being remembered or being honored, all he cares about is his career.
Although Wang Ming feels that he still cares about the title of Warmaster, loyalty is the best reward for the loyal, isn't it?
“Come on, come on, let’s take a look at the current situation on the battlefield in this sector.”
Leman Russ looked at the two brothers in front of him. He felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere between the two people. It seemed too boring, so he quickly changed the topic, opened the holographic projection map on the table, and then skillfully called Colonel Radulovich from the Fortress of the Sun and asked him to report the latest battlefield situation to them.
Looking at the artificial intelligence that suddenly appeared in front of him, the Lion King did not say anything. He had already seen these things before when he was following the 21st Legion, although he had just started It was very difficult to accept the use of these hateful intelligences, but after a period of time, the Lion King accepted the existence of these artificial intelligences.
After all, he fully understood the 21st Legion after seeing the countless codes organized by the First Engineer Regiment to prevent AI rebellion, as well as the countless anti-matter bombs stacked in the AI host room. Why can we use artificial intelligence with such confidence? The 21st Legion is actually not worried that artificial intelligence will rebel, because they have put countless locks on artificial intelligence.
Compared to the Human Federation, which once treated artificial intelligence as tools that could be used completely at will, or even treated them as human beings, giving them a lot of freedom, the 21st Legion’s model of using artificial intelligence is very direct. No, they just regard artificial intelligence as a tool, although they still have a certain respect for artificial intelligence.
But some core things, they will never allow artificial intelligence to use easily under normal circumstances, such as the ship's control system. These things, in the 21st Legion, , except for some necessary combat tasks, under other circumstances, these things are completely isolated from artificial intelligence.
