Chapter 1073 Kaldo Diego
“Brothers, calm down.”
Before any Chapter Master could speak, a blazing beam of light flashed between them. The light of bright stars danced in the dazzling flames.
All kinds of inexplicable images and smells emerged from the light pillar, the smell of incense, burnt flesh, and machines buzzing with abundant energy.
With a dull and loud sound of air displacement echoing in the strategy room, the beam of light suddenly disappeared.
A tall giant wearing silver armor as thick as granite and with light yellow skin stood there. His face was like a sculpture, with awe-inspiring momentum and majesty and justice visible to the naked eye.
"Supreme Master Kaldor Diego"
Azrael was the first to react. He immediately recognized the sudden appearance of the giant, so he removed his gun from his hand. The handle moved away and whispered:
"Why is he here?"
"This ends here."
The serious warrior looked around, and then said loudly:
"Don't be impulsive."
He stood between Soshyan and Herald, like a referee in a boxing match.
When Soshyan looked at the face of this mysterious man, he noticed that there was some sadness in his eyes and a rather tired look.
The opponent's Terminator armor is also the same as that of most Gray Knights, but the color is darker, like a boulder that has been sleeping under the ocean for countless years. Each piece of perfectly crafted armor is engraved with some ancient inscription. The text on the left shoulder is engraved with a thick book, and a sword-shaped coat of arms hangs on the front. His right shoulder is covered with scripture strips, fluttering in the breeze generated during the transmission. , a burgundy cloak hung on his shoulders.
Looking down, Soshyan saw that there was a thick leather book wrapped in chains hanging on the opponent's waist, which seemed familiar to Soshyan for some reason.
Although this person seems to be unarmed at the moment, Soshyan feels a huge intimidation from the other person.
“Great Master!”
Herald growled, but he did not regain much of his coolness.
“I must defend the honor of the Order!”
"So you are going to fight the loyal warriors of the empire?"
Herald gritted his teeth and gripped the leather-wrapped hilt tightly with his fingers.
“But he——”
“I heard all your conversation just now.”
After the mysterious warrior finished speaking, he sighed softly, and then shook his head.
"This time. We were wrong."
"Grand Master——"
"You need to calm down, brother, anger will not help anyone, if you let it blind you If you destroy your own soul, then all you will get when it subsides is regret.”
Hearing these words, Soshyan’s face softened a little, at least he was a reasonable person. .
Just when the situation eased slightly, Lord Magyar suddenly sneered.
"If each of you were so sensible, the Moon of Shame would never happen again, otherwise I wouldn't mind imitating the Space Wolves once."
Herald threw his head back and laughed, that was A deafening roar filled with violent rage.
"You stupid guys, if you want to provoke, then I will respond with a sword!!"
"Mazar! That's enough!" The mysterious warrior turned towards Mazar Lord Er said sternly:
"Now is not the time to argue about these things. Does it help us to get into the mean quarrels of mortals? We are the messengers of the Emperor, and we must be shining examples, showing All the beauty and purity of the empire! If we know that we are quarreling like shrews here, how can mortals still have the confidence to fight against the enemy?"
Soshyan sighed softly, realizing the current situation and feeling ashamed that he had allowed the situation to spiral out of control so dramatically.
There is really nothing worse than brothers fighting each other.
The mysterious warrior seemed to be shining with inner light, glorious and holy. His heart that had just been filled with violent rage was soothed. Herald lowered the weapon in his hand slightly, and the defensive postures of other chapter leaders also followed. of laxity.
“What I just said went too far, I’m sorry.”
Soshyan said softly, and then stretched out his hand towards Herald.
"I should listen to your explanation first."
"Actually, you are right. The responsibility for the whole thing does lie with me. Originally, I should have at least said hello."< br>
Herald lowered the frost sword in his hand, his anger subsided, and then held Soshyan's hand.
“I apologize for that too.”
Finally, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and Soshiyang was finally able to focus on the mysterious man. Only then did he remember that he didn't even know his name.
But before he opened his mouth, Azriel greeted him first.
"Grandmaster Diego, I didn't expect to meet again in this place."
"Long time no see, Chapter Leader Azrael."
Perhaps. Sensing the confused expression on Soshyan's face, Azrael turned to look at him and introduced him:
"This is the current Supreme Master of the Gray Knights, Kaldor Diego."
Hearing this, Soshiyang was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand towards the other party.
“Nice to meet you.”
Diego also smiled and shook Soshyan’s hand.
"Soshyan Alexey, I have heard of your name a long time ago. The young people today are really amazing. In the future, the empire will have to rely on you to support it."
"Where, you are the backbone of the empire."
Soshiyan praised the other party with sincere humility, and Diego really deserved this praise.
Cardo Diego, age unknown, is the 48th Grand Master of the Gray Knights. He has had brilliant achievements in many battles, the most famous of which is the exile of the demon primarch Mortari. install.
During the Battle of Kornovin in 901.M41, Mortarion, who was promoted to the Daemon Prince, killed Diego's former superiors and many other Gray Knights who tried to exile him, witnessing Mortarion Enraged at the slaughter of his brothers, Diego attacked the already wounded Daemon Primarch.
When Diego revealed the true name originally given to Mortarion by the Emperor, Mortarion was defeated and the Daemon Primarch's real-life body was torn into pieces. The name of the Grand Master was engraved on Mortarion's heart, so that Mortarion would never forget this shame. Diego was also promoted to the Grand Master of the Gray Knights by virtue of this feat.
However, during the second battle with the demon prince M'ka the Reborn, Diego was cursed and trapped in the warp, and disappeared from the Empire's records for a long time.
This is why Azrael was very surprised when he appeared, because the Grand Master had disappeared in the physical space for decades.
It is even said that the Supreme Master of the Gray Knights has died in battle, but the Gray Knights have not chosen a new Grand Master. However, because the Gray Knights themselves are secretive, Kaldo Diego is even more mysterious. Mysterious, so the Dark Angels' extensive intelligence network and the well-informed founding team know these details, and many Astartes don't even know that he exists.
