Chapter 938 Parliament in the Shadow
This is a large and solemn venue, dimly lit by scattered candles, the floor is paved with black marble, and the walls disappear into the black shadow.
A huge wooden throne, full of folds and carvings, is placed in the center of the room, under a tall and vague dome. Eleven smaller chairs are arranged in an arc facing it, the room Darkness enveloped the circle of chairs.
The military flags with various animal forms were barely visible in the darkness. They fluttered occasionally, and the white cloth rustled with the airflow of the ventilation system.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared on the throne in the middle, hovering above it like a dormant beast.
Then the same huge shadow appeared on the surrounding chairs one after another, filling nine chairs, leaving only two empty.
“Everyone is here.”
A cheerful voice spoke first, seemingly ignoring the two empty chairs.
“Let’s talk about our respective progress.”
The person who spoke next had a low and gloomy tone.
"Nothing's wrong with me here."
"Me too."
"Everything is fine-"
Until the last person.
He paused for a moment, and then said apologetically:
"I have some problems here. The Necron Dynasty in the Ghoul Star Region has been completely infected by the Skinner Plague. We can't go deep into its internal investigation, but judging from the information and evidence we have obtained, there is a high probability that it will not be wrong. "
Everyone was silent for a while, and finally the one on the throne in the middle spoke, with a frosted texture.
"This is an understandable accident. Nothing is 100% accurate, even what we investigated cannot be guaranteed."
"Sorry."
"We are all gay, there is no upper or lower class, you don't need to apologize to anyone."
Then, the one on the throne turned to the chair at 8 o'clock.
"What's the situation over there with the Astral Knights?"
"Everything is normal. They have been in contact with the White Templar for some time and are now heading towards their legion flagship. "What's the status of Soshyan Alexei?"
"Well, it seems that he got or saw something in Ullanor, and he brought back a female Eldar. , the identity of that spirit tribe seems not simple. Anyway, since he brought that spirit tribe back, I heard rumors that the rotten meat of the 14th Legion seems to be crazy, and I don’t know what big plan they are planning, maybe it has something to do with that spirit tribe. Is it related to ethnicity? A guess, not necessarily correct.”
The person who spoke paused, then took out a data tablet and threw it towards the throne.
The data tablet was still spinning in mid-air when it was gently grabbed by a large armor-covered hand.
"The above is a report from the past ten years. In addition, he has obtained the Spiral Flame."
"He has obtained the Spiral Flame? Well, it is good news."
The shadow on the throne moved his body, and then opened the data tablet, but the faint light from the data tablet could not penetrate the darkness covering him at all.
"Yeah, well, it's developing well. We didn't choose the wrong person. We no longer have the cost of trial and error."
After a few minutes of simple viewing, the man on the throne closed the data pad.
“Now that these things have been resolved, let’s talk about the next thing, but first.”
As he said that, the man on the throne stretched out his arm, and then an ancient book floated out of thin air from the ground. of books.
As the book turned page by page, a hoarse voice sounded from all directions.
"——When I woke up in the morning, I felt as if I had been sleeping for a long time. All I could do was open my eyes. The same dreams haunted me again. Most of them were so terrifying that it was difficult to talk about them. The rest were Everything cannot be ignored because it is closely related to my mission. I find that my thoughts have already scattered, and as time goes by, it is gradually difficult for me to recall what I did in the past. I have been made up of my fragile thoughts. The lack of sleep that was imprisoned in the world did not bother me, the scenes before my eyes were clear now, they looked so real, but when I tried to remember them, my mind couldn't concentrate, and I couldn't focus on those who admired them. In the records of the unspeakable enemy, I am jealous of those whose living conditions are opposite to mine, but I must always remind myself that everything I do is for the benefit of the empire and even all mankind. I must always remain vigilant, And I kept praying to complete this work before I was completely lost. Sometimes I wrote for several hours without taking a break, writing with great concentration, but after a while I didn’t know where the thoughts in my mind came from. I read back. The previous article, but everything I saw frightened me from the depths of my soul. Although these terrible things came from my hands, I actually didn’t want to know them.”
The huge palm let go and the book fell. It fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace, and then another one rose up.
Similarly, it unfolds itself in invisible power.
“——The crack in the sky tore open a giant eye, and blood flowed from it, inhabiting it. Legions that fought endlessly every day swarmed out of it. They gathered under the command of a leader, Once again attacking the cornerstone of human survival, the thugs in the Nether Eye gathered an evil alliance. Millions of fanatics and thousands of battleships were waiting for an opportunity to find a way to break through the defense line. There, loyal warriors are always on standby to prevent emergencies. These invasions that occur once in hundreds of generations are so powerful that if they are not stopped, they will eventually bring mankind to its knees. The alliance that maintains these fierce attacks is a man. The terrifying Chaos Overlord, he may be a demon or a human. These waves of destruction are coming, bringing us to the darkest and most dangerous moment. The fate of all mankind hangs on a thread. I see these relationships between human beings. The battle of life and death, with all the dangers and hopes involved."
One book to finish, one to start.
"——The fallen ones will gather again behind their king. Although after so many years, the giant eye has calmed down, people will guess that the chaos trapped in it will split and become like The beasts would fight each other in the desperate situation that trapped them, but these speculations would be proven wrong, and the price would be paid dearly. The traitorous legions would return, and their leaders would unleash a bloody Shouting, he will lead the dark legions with renewed ambition to force mankind to kneel before Chaos and cry bitterly in front of his own powerful power."
"This attack only shows his power. A small part of the cunning and ferocity he would later display, but this attempt would serve him well in the future, as in his vision of completing the unfinished work of their cursed forefathers, his armies marched toward the heart of humanity. As they advance, no matter where the demon army goes, there are ruins everywhere, and all life is wiped out. Just as they are preparing to continue to carry out the atrocities of the times and bring mankind back to the terrible era of the past, the guards of the empire , the Mechanic Priests and those giant-like warriors wearing battle armor who purified and brought death in the same way appeared. The Astartes companies united and marched forward to drive the damned back to their lair. But this was after a fierce battle. At that time, they were so close to the core of the empire that it is unavoidable to think about it with lingering fear. During this expedition, the Cursed claimed to be in the Forbidden Mountains of Uruolan. Obtained the sword that imprisoned the soul of murder, but I did not see how he obtained this item."
