Chapter 59 Thor Tarvitz
At first, the Emperor's Children were known as the Third Legion, and its recruits came from the noble families of Holy Terra Europa.
The nobles of Europa at that time selected the most outstanding young members of their families and gave them to the Emperor to express their apology and respect for the Emperor after they were defeated by the Thunder Warriors
Led by the European nobles, other noble families also sent their children to fight in the Third Legion.
It was rumored that this was the origin of the renaming of the Third Legion, which meant the Emperor's children, and the name was reconfirmed after Fulgrim was recovered.
One difference from the early Emperor's Children is that the Third Legion during the Unification War was willing to cooperate with ordinary Imperial troops and even lead them into battle. This was an act worthy of contempt in the eyes of other legions. .
But for this "noble army", leading the "weaker" troops seems to be a matter of course.
Before the reunification of the Primarch and the Legion, the Third Legion had a reputation for carrying out its missions with efficiency, often exceeding the Emperor's expectations.
During the Great Crusade, the Third Legion was often sent by the Emperor to carry out diplomacy and protect secret ambassadors, and was called the Emperor's emissary by some.
The Third Legion painted their armor purple to symbolize their mission, and decorated it with thunderbolts and sun patterns.
During a ceremony for a planet to surrender to the Emperor, the Emperor and the Third Legion were attacked by rebels. The Space Marines of the XVI Unit of the Third Legion died trying to protect the Emperor from being severely damaged by a vortex weapon.
The Emperor later bestowed the double-headed eagle upon the Third Legion as a reward for their loyalty.
Although the Third Legion was famous, after regaining the moon and signing a contract with Mars, the Third Legion suffered a disaster: a large number of gene seeds were lost for unknown reasons on the way to the moon, and it was later discovered that The Third Legion's gene seed bank on Earth was destroyed and contaminated by the remaining elements of the Lunar Gene Cult.
All this led to an outbreak of blight in the Third Legion. The organs of the sick soldiers began to shrink and eventually died one by one.
This sad situation was not ended until the return of the Primarch Fulgrim to the Legion, but the Legion's numbers have been severely degraded and must operate under the protection of the Luna Wolves Legion.
It is for this reason that Fulgrim established a close relationship with his brother Horus.
When Horus declared the Heresy, Fulgrim was quickly seduced into participating and became one of the first rebel Legions, first turning against the Legion's loyalists aboard Isstvaan III
Carried out a brutal purge, and later participated in the destruction of three loyal legions aboard Istvan V.
The fallen Primarch Folgen himself committed the crime of parricide on Istvan V, beheading his friend and blood brother, the Primarch of the Iron Hands Ferrus Mar Noos.
The fallen Third Legion quickly fell into the arms of the Chaos Evil God Slaanesh. As glorious as the Emperor's Children were in the past, they have fallen so deeply now that many other Legions who are also rebels are Shame on being associated with them.
During the siege of Terra, the Emperor's Children Legion did not participate in the attack on the Imperial Palace. Their targets were Terra's billions of inhabitants.
All kinds of crazy actions occurred in the areas they invaded. When Horus was defeated by the Emperor and the rebels were routed thousands of miles away, the Emperor's Children were the most complete legion to withdraw from the ground.
Their warships were loaded with slaves and headed straight for their new foothold, the Eye of Terror.
During this process, the Third Legion also split into many small warbands due to the civil war. However, due to their morbid desire for pleasure and pain, even after splitting, they were still the Chaos forces that attacked the empire most frequently. one.
So when this man said that he was the company commander of the Third Army, the other soldiers except Soshyan subconsciously pulled the trigger.
"Put down the gun."
Soshiyan's voice interrupted their desire to attack. Although the soldiers were confused, they still carried out the order.
He looked at this man with a haggard face, as gloomy as a ghost, and asked:
"Captain Saul, can you tell me the last time in your memory."
Saul glanced at Soshiyang with his dark eyes for a while, and whispered:
"M31, 013."
Every time he said these numbers, the man was stunned. To take a breath feels like a heavy burden.
After listening to this, Suoshiyang knew that his guess was indeed confirmed.
"Captain Saul, now M41, 912."
Sol's eyes suddenly widened, looking at Soshiyang as if he were looking at a monster.
"You..."
He asked tremblingly:
"From ten thousand years later?"
"No."
Soshyan shook his head. "Captain Saul, you came from ten thousand years ago."
After hearing Soshiyang's words, Saul's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and his face was filled with tears. The scarce blood color became even thinner, and it looked like a corpse that had been soaked in formalin for a long time.
"Then Terra must be safe, right?"
"Horus's heresy was ended, and he himself was destroyed by the Emperor himself."
"I knew this would be the result. From the moment Jialuo successfully escaped, the Warmaster's failure was doomed..."
Suddenly, he raised his head.
"It turns out that... Fulgrim, what will be his end."
"He killed his brother, the primarch Manus, and turned into a Chaos Demon, escaping into "The Eye of Terror."
Thor immediately grabbed Soshyan's shoulder.
"He's still alive!?"
"Yes."
Soshiyang didn't hear any joy or relief from the other party. On the contrary, he felt a strong anger and hatred.
“He should pay for everything he has done!”
Saul almost squeezed these words out from between clenched teeth.
boom----!
At this time, another loud noise came. The Space Marines felt the huge shock and looked around.
“What did you do?”
Saul also noticed something strange and asked Soshyan.
“We installed melta bombs on the bridge.”
"That's it."
The tenth company commander of the third legion nodded thoughtfully.
“I have known for a long time that there is its life gate, but I couldn’t find the tools, but you actually did it...”
“What is the situation with this ship?”
“This is not a ship.”
Thor shook his head and told everyone a terrible truth.
“It was originally a Carnage-class cruiser on which the Word Bearers performed evil sacrificial rituals, but they summoned an uncontrollable thing that became one with the ship. All life has been digested by it, and now we are in its body.”
“You said that all life has been digested by it, then you are——”
Soshyan's words were more tactful, and Sol immediately pointed to his head.
“It can’t digest me. Over the years, it has tried every means to make me surrender, hallucinations, monsters, and even time stasis, but it can’t break through the shield in my heart, let alone annihilate the passion in my heart. Angry, I still have a lot of debt to pay, and I will never die before that."
Bang! !
At this time, the heavy airlock door not far away suddenly made a loud noise, as if something was hitting it.
“It seems that it is really angry.”
After a glance, Soshyan said to Thor:
“We have a Thunderhawk, which can Get out of here, Captain Thor, do you want to join us?"
The other party did not reply immediately, but directly pulled out the sword on the ground, walked to another door, and pushed it open.
“Let’s go.”
