Chapter 136 Past Events
The two battle groups marched side by side along the broad road. On the right side of the queue were the Astral Knights and on the left were the Ascetics.
Servants of other legions followed closely, followed by machine servants and slave workers. The bronze bells on both sides of the broad avenue sounded as the soldiers stepped
"Last time It was almost a hundred years ago when we walked with other battle groups."
Mazhar couldn't help but sigh. At this moment, he was walking side by side with Soshyan empty-handed, and his terrifying giant scythe was blocked. It was handed over to the care of servants.
"We are all scattered among the stars."
They walked side by side at the front of the queue, and the chapter flag held high behind them cast a shadow on them.
"It is my honor to walk with a hero like you."
Soshiyan said cautiously that this was the first time he had hosted a ceremonial event as a chapter leader. It is impossible to say that there is no fluctuation in his heart.
"I hope you will tell me more about what happened in the Vader Galaxy."
"I will."
"I heard that the aliens you attacked were Necron?"
"Yes, it is those soulless machines, they drive a machine called It is a crazy war fortress that is the engine of the world, trying to destroy the entire galaxy."
Mazhar suddenly glanced at Thor wearing a helmet. This ordinary-looking warrior always gave him a strange illusion.
The sword on his waist can threaten his neck no matter what distance he is at.
Although it is still sheathed.
“There were more than a dozen war groups concentrated at that time?”
Mazhar looked back, hoping that he was overly concerned.
“Yes.”
Soshyan nodded.
"Including the Ultramarines, they sent an entire seventh company."
"Then why was it such a tragic ending?"
"Because there was no way to end the world engine, or Said that we have tried all means, and the only way is to sacrifice the battle group's flagship Storm in a desperate fight."
As he said, the team came to the mourning hall of the monastery fortress, at the far end of the hall. , stands a black monument.
This monument is a miniature version made by Soshyan by imitating the actual object in the Vader galaxy. From the appearance, it is almost identical, except that there are no decorations made of the remains of the undead.
"Did your chapter leader make this decision?"
"Yes, it was a plan he implemented against all odds."
Arrived in front of the black monument, Mazar He raised his head and looked at the numbers and rows of names engraved on it. 771 Space Marines were buried in the cold void.
“What’s his name.”
“Amurad.”
"Amurad, I will remember it."
In front of the black monument, a solemn atmosphere spread. All the Space Marines took off their helmets, clenched their right fists in front of their chests, and deeply Bury your noble head.
Everyone, regardless of status or military rank, is remembering these fallen imperial heroes.
It was they who burned themselves that gave mankind a glimmer of light and hope in the dark galaxy.
“The name of a hero should not die.”
Ten minutes later, Mazar raised his head again and looked at Soshyan. "The responsibility on your shoulders is heavy. Although I know that in this bad situation, most chapters will inevitably perish. I can see that you have been working hard to save it all."
“I once swore an oath that I would never let the flag of the Chapter fall.”
“Actually, we have also encountered the same situation as you.”
Speaking of this, Mazhar's tone suddenly became heavy.
"In M41.820, our battle group met the remnants of the Tyranid alien Behemoth Hive Fleet in the void. In order to destroy this alien force, I led the battle group to land on their hive mothership."
Hearing this, several veterans accompanying him had painful looks on their faces.
“It was a brutal and bloody battle. We know too little about the Tyranids and even less about their hive mothership, which has complex terrain and endless hatcheries. , causing us to suffer huge losses.”
The imperial hero’s words were mixed with regret.
“Although we finally killed it, the death rate of the entire regiment was close to 90%, and more than half of the company was killed... They were all trained by me little by little since they were transformed. , it’s not an exaggeration to say he is my child.”
Soshyan suddenly noticed that the imperial hero was no longer the warrior who maintained high morale at all times, but more like a grieving old man.
At this time, the traces of time finally appeared on the body of the Magyar Chapter Leader, which was a kind of vicissitudes and sorrow that penetrated deeply into the soul.
Soshiyang didn’t know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, Lord Magyar immediately calmed down his emotions.
“If it weren’t for a group of new soldiers on the home planet and the gene seeds accumulated over the years, we might not be able to get up in another hundred years. But even so, until now we only have five hundred Many warriors have returned to half of their former strength."
As an ancient war group from the Second Founding Era, the Ascetic Chapter naturally has a much deeper foundation than the Astral Knights, but it can only withstand such a blow once.
“So...I fully understand your determination and difficulty in rebuilding the Chapter.”
“Naisen IV is a good planet, and I am confident that the Chapter’s mission will be restored here. The flag flew in the void again and continued to fight for the emperor."
"Yes, that's the momentum."
Lord Magyar laughed heartily.
The procession then moved through the Mourning Hall towards the Assembly Hall, where servants had prepared a banquet for the Astartes.
Entering the corridor connecting the two peaks, Lord Magyar looked at the monastery main castle in front of him and the towering church.
“What a spectacular place.”
He couldn’t help but admire.
"You haven't been here long, have you? These results are amazing. I hope you will take me on a tour."
"Of course."
Then Soshyan postponed the banquet and took Lord Magyar around the monastery fortress. During the process, the two had a close conversation.
But it did not involve too many diplomatic affairs or tasks of the chapter. They mostly talked about their own experiences-mainly the Magyar lord was talking, and Soshyan was the listener.
He was grateful that the Imperial hero was willing to share his knowledge and experience with him, especially regarding aliens like the Tyranids.
Soshyan has fought against greenskins, Necrons, and even Ada, but the Tyranids are an enemy he has never faced.
The earliest record of the Tyranids appeared in M41.735. While conducting a routine planetary survey, Imperial explorers discovered that life on some worlds suddenly disappeared on the edge of the eastern sector of the Milky Way. There is no theory to explain why the worlds that were originally inhabited by animals and plants have suddenly disappeared. The vibrant world suddenly turned into a deserted boulder.
When the time came to M41.745, the outposts of the Tyranid System in the Eastern Sector began to be attacked by some unknown alien race.
Within a few days, Tyranid Prime and its heavily defended outposts were completely destroyed. The first recorded contact between the Empire and the Zerg took place. They were also officially named after the Tyranid system where they were discovered. Known as the Tyranids.
