Chapter 362 The Lost Legion
“It’s really unpredictable.”
In the secret room deep in the monastery fortress, Soshyan had a face-to-face confrontation with Brother Said, whom he had not seen for a long time. Long talk.
He told Brother Seid everything about what happened to him when he went to Valedo, as well as the subsequent civil war between the Soul Drinkers, with almost no concealment, including the fact that Sevatar took away the grimoire. thing.
Of course, the secret of the Soul Drinker is also included.
After hearing this, even Brother Said sighed.
“I didn’t expect to meet scattered blood brothers under such circumstances.”
“Sir, I have another question.”
“Say. "
"According to Apothecary Pallas, there is a second unidentified gene-seed within the Soul Drinker."
Soshyan paused.
"Could they-"
"Well, you guessed it right."
Brother Said's body sank slightly.
“Those are the descendants of the Second Legion.”
"Second Legion..."
Although he was mentally prepared, when he actually heard it, Soshiyang's heart still aroused huge waves.
The same legion was erased. Soshyan also thought about whether the Second Legion still existed. After all, if the Eleventh Legion still continued in some form, maybe this Legion would also still exist. Exists in secret.
But he never imagined that he would encounter the mysterious Second Legion in this situation.
“Your Majesty, what was the reason for the Second Legion in the first place——”
"That's a very long story. Speaking of which, the destruction of the Second Legion has a lot to do with us."
It turns out that the original body of the Second Legion was the third one to be recovered. , he was born in a society where psychic abilities are highly developed and humans and aliens are highly symbiotic.
The humans on that planet have reached a parasitic relationship with a certain alien form and can use psychic powers more safely, but at the cost, their memories and emotions will also be shared with the parasite.
After a long time, the humans on the planet were almost completely controlled by the aliens and became spiritual slaves.
After the original body with a high degree of psychic talent was born, he led the people on that planet to eliminate the psychic parasitic race and established a glorious psychic civilization.
After the return of the original body, the Second Legion also underwent similar changes and became a legion with a developed psychic system similar to the Fifteenth Legion Thousand Sons.
The original body of the Second Legion possesses powerful mental control abilities and is known as the Heart-Erosion King. He can cause the creatures on a planet to fall into terrifying hallucinations and dreams with just a few moves, and he can also do it thousands of miles away. Create a phantom clone of yourself, and even be able to seize control of the enemy's body and modify other people's memories.
The soldiers of the legion have more or less inherited his similar abilities. The best among them are called "Phantom Warriors", who are terrifying killers with superb swordsmanship and powerful spiritual attacks.
The legion's tactics are to use spiritual power to invade the opponent's control center to create chaos, and then quickly penetrate and strike. When engaging the enemy, they use phantom clones to disrupt the enemy's deployment, and then select weak points to attack and strike in one fell swoop. Destroy the enemy's defenses.
This tactic is very effective and deadly when fighting against enemies without psychic protection. The strength of the Second Legion was once the highest among all legions.
However, just like the flesh and blood mutation of the Thousand Sons, no power comes without a price.
A large part of the extraordinary power of the Second Legion actually comes from the original body's secret research on psychic parasites. Although He has tried to erase the parasites' sense of self.
But what he didn't expect was that these seemingly weak parasites actually had "faith."
These psychic aliens have become believers in Chaos very early. However, due to their limited understanding of the subspace, the original body was not aware of the existence and essence of Chaos from the beginning.
Not long after psychic parasites were used on a large scale, terrible mutations broke out.
The soldiers of the Second Legion had experienced drastic physical and mental changes. Such changes would have been considered Chaos pollution after the Great Rebellion. However, at the time, they were only considered to be mutations at the genetic level.
The primarch of the Second Legion tried to save his legion, but all efforts were in vain. The mutated legionnaires became extremely aggressive and had completely distorted personalities, causing huge disasters.
In desperation, the original body of the Second Legion could only try to use his own spiritual power to eliminate the threat of mutant warriors, but his spirit was too involved in the dark realm.
Brother Said has no way of knowing exactly what happened.
But the Eleventh Legion received the order and, together with other legions, went to the home planet of the Second Legion to perform the "execution". This was a cruel order, and no one knew what happened to the Second Legion, but Brother Said told Soshyan that it was the most brutal battle he had ever experienced in his life.
The Second Legion that fell into darkness became a terrifying and terrifying force, and it still remained undefeated even in the face of the siege of several legions.
Before the war, Brother Seid was just one of the Primarch's retainers.
After the war, he became the commander of the first company - because the entire first company was almost destroyed in the landing operation, and all commanders including the company commander died in the battle.
The siege lasted for three full months and ended with the Primarch of the Eleventh Legion and the Primarch of the First Legion, Leon, jointly beheading the fallen Primarch of the Second Legion.
In this cruel fratricide, according to Brother Said, the Eleventh Legion lost more than 40,000 soldiers, and the First Legion also lost about the same number. Adding the losses of other legions, the empire had hundreds of thousands of soldiers spilled. battlefield.
It was also because of this battle that the Eleventh Legion was severely damaged and had to cease its activities during the subsequent Great Expedition.
After the war, most of the soldiers of the Second Legion were annihilated, leaving only a handful of non-mutated survivors, who should have been executed.
But the Emperor suddenly ordered these warriors to be pardoned, and then erased their memories and secretly incorporated them into the Seventh and Thirteenth Legions. The Eleventh Legion also took in a very small number of soldiers from the Second Legion.
It was also during this tragic war that the terror of the subspace force was felt. The primarch of the Eleventh Legion came up with the idea of creating warriors to counter the subspace force, and after learning about the Emperor's Webway plan This plan was later confirmed and put into practice.
As for why the descendants of the 11th Legion and the descendants of the 2nd Legion have now formed a fighting group, Brother Said can only explain it as a "coincidence".
Judging from what Soshyan described about the mutation of Sarpedon, the think tank director, and his abilities, Said believes that the legacy of poison in the bloodline of the Second Legion has not yet been eliminated.
“We must find a way to completely eliminate them.”
Brother Said said this to Soshyan:
“Whether it is the remnants of the Second Legion or those The soldiers who follow the betrayal must be killed before they reveal our secrets!”
"Our secret..."
Soshiyan was a little confused.
“What secrets can they know?”
“They themselves are a huge secret, not to mention that you have already taken over an undying hatred with him. They will definitely try their best to investigate us. ."
"I understand."
Diandian, Soshi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
"Any more questions?"
"Honorable Sir, I..."
For a moment of silence, Soshiyang made up his mind to hide the words he had hidden in his heart for a long time. Speak up.
"...I hope that since you chose me to rebuild the legion, we can be more honest with each other, and at least say hello to me before implementing many plans and actions."
He had wanted to say these words a long time ago, and he could feel that both Sol and Sevita were doing something secretly that he didn't know about.
And he believed that most of these things were instructed by Brother Said.
"I don't tell you some things in advance because your mind is not strong enough to accept everything... Anyway, maybe I am wrong."
Step forward fearlessly, as if Staring at Soshyan.
“This will never happen again.”
"Your Majesty, I have one last question."
"What."
"Thor——"
Soshyan recalled Thor on the hulk Beating up the demon prince.
“Who is he?”
Brother Said was silent for a long time, and finally a string of whispers floated from the loudspeaker.
"Just think of him as a dead soul."
