Chapter 777 Legend of a Generation
After a brief rest, Dante walked into the armament room. His armor had been carefully cared for. Behind the glass on the armor box, it looked like one in a museum. Collections are the same.
He stared directly at the armor behind the glass, his wrinkled face reflected in the eternal golden mask of Sanguinius.
The two faces are almost identical. After all, Dante became very similar to his genetic ancestor after the transformation of the holy blood.
He blinked then, but Sanguinius's mask remained unmoved, and the Primarch's mouth remained open, shouting in righteous fury.
How ironic it was that one of the Emperor's broodest and most responsible sons would forever be remembered as one with this furious look on his face.
There are thousands of artworks depicting Sanguinius in the Blood Angels' fleets and fortress monasteries, but the most well-known image is this face: falling from the sky in fury, about to stain the battlefield with blood. angel face.
It would be great if the gentler side of his genetic father could be known to people, and it would be great if there were no endless wars in the world.
If Dante had any wish, it would be to be eliminated by peace and become an antique in a museum.
His wish is not only for the benefit of others, but also for his own desire: if peace comes, then he will no longer need to bear this burden.
But the reality is cruel, peace will never come, and war has no end.
His only rest will come from death.
He had heard this sentence when he became an Astartes, and now he understands the meaning of this sentence better than anyone else. This is such a bitter realization.
After thinking for a moment, Dante touched the touch pad with his fingers.
The box was reopened and the servant came out of the shadows.
He must become Sanguinius once more.
Half an hour later, Dante walked towards the reception hall fully armed.
The size of this hall is suitable for receiving distinguished guests, and the gorgeous decorations around it all reflect the status of the Blood Angels.
Actually, the official celebration banquet will be held in the Haleschiri Nest in three days. This private banquet is only between the three war groups. Dante took the initiative to invite the other two war groups. The command team came.
Under the armored roof of this hall is a table that takes up most of the room. The table is designed in a circle to accommodate all participants.
Although the seat belonging to the Chapter Master is larger than the others, it is not so big that it stands out.
In keeping with the Chapter's usual style, this room is also richly decorated, even a bit luxurious by the standards of this era.
Many flags are hung on the surrounding walls, and a bowl of rubies is placed in front of each chair. Each gem has the perfect shape of a drop of blood, and is engraved with the image of a deceased monk at the atomic level. name.
A flag of the Chapter hangs in the middle of the dome. The red background and black border flag has the Chapter's winged blood drop symbol painted in the middle. The floor is covered with exquisite carpets. The stone floor is also the work of skilled craftsmen: black stones inlaid with red silk were cut into triangles
and squares, and arranged into complex geometric shapes.
The hall is lit by a dark red lamp, making its interior decoration very blurry.
There is no one yet. It is like a still heart, red and black, lifeless.
The sound of steel rubbing against each other broke the silence, and at the same time opened the two physical and mental locks that sealed the room. The interlaced psychic isolation fields ensured that no psyker or It's the wizard who can see what's going on here.
With a low whistle, the two doors at both ends of the hall opened at the same time, and the yellow light broke the pure red in the hall. The door opened wider and wider, and the sound it made became louder and louder.
Waiting outside the gate were the attendees.
On the Blood Angels side were Commander Dante, Priest Odamage, who represented the Priests Association, Holy Blood Priest Albinu, and First Company Commander Ka Ryan, Second Company Commander Apheel, Seventh Company Commander Fatun, Heavenly Gate Guards Brother Bellerophon, Revenge Blade Captain Brother Asante, and Technical Sergeant Mujier was present on behalf of the armory.
Behind the gate at the other end, Soshyan and Randall were present as distinguished guests, as well as more than a dozen battle group commanders. The two battle groups bathed in blood together with the Blood Angels at Armageddon. He fought hard and won this honor.
“On behalf of Sanguinius, welcome the brave and strong Sons of Dorne.”
Dante walked in first, his armor reflecting the red and gold light. Although it was a banquet, all the Adeptus Astartes were dressed in full gear as if they were going into battle.
After all, they are all warriors, no matter where they are.
Across from him, the two Chapter Masters took off their helmets at the same time, tucked them under their arms, and then walked into the hall.
“Thank you.”
A group of little angels flew into the gate, chanted the names of the participants, and then spread incense into the air.
The servo skulls checked every corner for potential threats, while the video recorder servitors used the remaining language processing and motor functions in their brains to bring themselves to the designated location ready to record this very memorable meeting.
Soshyan himself walked towards Dante step by step with a little excitement and nervousness.
This legendary figure has been familiar to him since he first became an Astartes. Dante can be said to be the role model and symbol of almost all Astartes, not only because of his long service time, What's more, his dedication to the greatness of the empire and his extremely gentle attitude towards mortals. His noble
quality is also something Soshyan has been trying to imitate in a sense.
In other words, this person is his idol.
Gradually, Soshyan couldn't help but speed up his pace, and finally stopped two meters away from Dante.
Although he couldn't see the other party's face, the invisible aura that enveloped Dante still made Soshiyang feel like a spring breeze - Sanguinius's rage was completely subdued by an elder's unique aura at this moment. replaced by gentleness.
"Venerable Dante, I am Soshyan Alexei, Chapter Master of the Astral Knights, and it is a great honor to meet you."
This is Soshyan The self-introduction was condensed after careful consideration, but it was still a bit slow when speaking out.
Two seconds later, hearty laughter came from under the golden mask, and then Dante stretched out his hand.
"Suo, you are so young."
The other party's relaxed tone also made Suo Shiyang let go of his inner burden. He smiled and held the other party's palm with both hands, and replied:
"I was not even born when you served the Emperor."
"Haha, when you say it, I look even more like an old man."
"No matter what my experience is. Through the years, you have remained the Emperor's most powerful servant, a warrior feared by all the enemies of the Empire."
Then, the two let go of their hands. Dante turned around, looked at the senior Blood Angels, and said:
"Come, let me introduce you."
In Dante When Ding introduced Soshiyang to the chapter's command one by one, he suddenly had a doubt. Is it true that the rumored think tank who died in battle has returned to the Blood Angels Chapter?
