Chapter 691 Erased History
Callistarius thought for a while, but was not sure what Dante was going to say to him.
The Chapter Master of the Astartes, who has experienced thousands of years, held the Thinker's shoulders, turned around together, and stared at the mural, which showed Sanguinius confronting the demons in front of the Gate of Eternity.
"Before the Heresy, there was an incredible fear of psykers, and many wished to see such beings expelled, imprisoned, and weakened, believing that they would unleash something even more disgusting. Things, then these voices were growing in intensity, eventually leading to the Emperor issuing a ban"
"The Nicaea Ban"
Callistarius uttered an ancient word, and it was because of this ban that the Librarians once disappeared from the Legiones Astartes.
“But even under such circumstances, the original body still did not give up on those warriors with psychic talents. I think you must still remember that sentence, which is directly engraved on the wall of the Chapter Archives 'The Think Tank brothers are vital to us. They fought alongside me before the Empire came, and they will continue to be so as long as I can pick up the sword.' This sentence has not changed for tens of thousands of years."
Callistarius remained silent.
"Brother, I believe in you and your strength. You don't need to worry about what you think and see. I am happy to accept your outspokenness."
The think tank hesitated. After a while, he finally whispered:
"My divination has seen some dark signs. Unlike the greenskins, I guess there is trouble on Armageddon that we have not seen."
Hearing this sentence, Dante's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Can you tell me more specifically? What did you see?"
"Actually, I didn't see anything. Those were just vague omens."
The Chapter Master of the Blood Angels Chapter was silent. He looked back at the mural, thinking and remembering.
"It's not easy to get here with Armageddon."
Finally, he said this.
Calista stared at him, not knowing what he was referring to.
“Brother Callistarius, when did you become an Astartes.”
Dante suddenly asked him a slightly weird question, but he didn’t say much. I thought, and answered immediately.
"Standard Terra Calendar 509.M41."
"That's it. Sixty years before you served, there was a war at Armageddon."
Callista Ryu blinked.
“But there are no records left in the archives.”
“There are too many secrets and stains in that war to be recorded.”
Dante shook his head.
In Standard Terra Calendar 444.M41, armed rebellions suddenly broke out in the six hives of Armageddon. Although most of the rebellions were suppressed, the scope of the rebellion in the remaining hives became larger and larger. .
While the local guards were busy suppressing it, a huge hulk carrying an army of demons broke through the subspace and arrived in the orbit of Armageddon. The leader of this army was one of the traitorous legions. The Primarch of the World Eaters Legion, Angron.
As soon as the Daemon Primarch appeared, the planet Armageddon was almost occupied. Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by the Space Wolves Chapter arrived in time. The two sides fought fiercely on the surface of the planet, but the Space Wolves could not Matching the power of the daemon primarch, they were retreating steadily.
At the critical moment, the empire invested a mysterious force, which instantly reversed the situation and dispersed the demonic original body.
The Space Wolves immediately counterattacked and destroyed the Chaos Hive, but the residents of Armageddon were screened and driven into huge labor camps. These camps were isolated from other settlement cities, and the residents had to live in these labor camps. spend the rest of your life.
Some residents who tried to escape the planet were attacked by the Imperial Navy controlled by the Inquisitors, but were stopped by the Space Wolves, and a violent conflict broke out between the two sides.
“This——”
After hearing the whole incident, Kalista didn’t know what to say for a while.
There is no record of such a big event as the appearance of the demon primarch, so it seems that the "conflict" Dante mentioned is not just a simple conflict.
"What is that mysterious power?"
"Don't ask." Dante interrupted him seriously.
“If you meet it in person, or become the director of a think tank, you will naturally know. Before that, don’t ask, and don’t try to explore.”
“ Got it.”
Seeing the serious expression on his Chapter Leader's face, Callistariu knew that he shouldn't ask any further questions.
Afterwards, Dante's expression softened slightly.
“If you talk things out, maybe you won’t have so many thoughts, right?”
“Yes, thank you Chapter Leader for telling me this. I understand my responsibilities. . ”
“That’s good, I’m going to see the Chapter Leader of the White Temple later, you can come too.”
"Yes."
When the shuttle passed through the slender belly of the ship and climbed towards the towers where the bridge was located, Randall noticed the almost perfect coating on the upper edge of the ship's side and the hull. decoration - a golden face with finely carved curls, bronze patterns deep into the vent paneling, and a massive superstructure woven of pure art.
The Blood Angels are indeed masters of art and killing, while most Imperial Fists or Ultramarines chapters are more adaptable to a pragmatic style.
Then, the shuttle floated into the entrance of a cave-like hangar, where several phalanxes of Blood Angel warriors were waiting as an honor guard. The leader was a warrior covered in pure gold and red Terminator armor. , it shines under the lights of the hangar. The combat armor is as exquisite as everything else in the ship, polished to the point that it must be made of glass.
The warrior did not wear a helmet, and his face was sharp and angular, like one of the statues surrounded by pilasters and velvet placed around them.
This is also a legendary figure, the First Captain of the Blood Angels Chapter, Karaon the Shield of Baal.
He has been a Captain of the Blood Angels for two centuries. During his service, he has fought countless enemies, most notably destroying the space hulk Vogot's Doom, the Holy Inferno and the Twilight. Shield, and killed a Nurgle Daemon.
After the shuttle came to a stop, Randall stepped out of the illuminated shuttle, accompanied by his first company commander and chaplain, and a team of four warriors wearing Terminator armor. A small convoy formed behind the scenes.
Karaen then nodded in greeting and said:
“Welcome to the Sword of Vengeance, Chapter Commander Randall Blanchard, I am Karan, First Captain of the Blood Angels Chapter Well, Chapter Leader is eagerly looking forward to meeting you.”
"It's an honor."
Afterwards, under the guidance of the company commander, Randall walked across the apron and went all the way to the battleship's saloon.
Dante has been waiting there for a long time, wearing his iconic golden armor, holding a death mask in one hand, and pressing the battle ax hanging on his waist with the other, with an extraordinary appearance.
Beside him were several senior leaders of the battle group.
"Welcome, Chapter Master Randall Blanchard."
"Hello, respected Chapter Commander Dante."
Dante extended his right hand to Randall, who immediately reached out and held it tightly.
"It's my honor to meet you."
Dante seemed to be shocked by Randall's words.
“Honored?”
"Yes, I heard about your deeds when I was a scout."
Dante raised his head and laughed.
“Look, it sounds like I am already an antique in the museum.”
Everyone laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.
