Chapter 1157 Secrets of the First Legion (Part 1)
“Huh!?”
Hearing Azrael mention those black-armored men, Soshiyang was a little surprised, and he didn’t expect Sai The organization that Vita belongs to actually shows up in front of Azrael. Obviously, the Dark Angels must have something special compared to other groups, or they also have huge secrets——
But at the moment, He hadn't figured out Azrael's attitude yet, so he chose to deal with it cautiously.
He frowned pretending to be confused, and then asked.
"What do black-armored people mean? Have you met Chapter Master Azrael? What do they look like?"
"What kind of people? Do you mean...more than one person?"
"Well, I don't understand what you are referring to, so I ask."
Azriel stared at Soshyan and said solemnly:
"Captain Soshyan, I hope we can be more frank with each other and stop pretending to be ignorant.”
Realizing that the other party was about to get angry, Soshiyang coughed lightly.
“Well, what does he look like.”
“Wearing a lion helmet.”
“A lion helmet. I haven’t seen it, I’ve only seen it. Wearing jackal helmets and crow helmets, so I'm not sure if they are the people you are asking about."
Azrael frowned, and Soshyan's answer made him realize something. I'm afraid it's not simple. At first, he thought it was a new association or group of fallen angels, but it didn't seem like it from Soshiyang's description.
"Do you know those people?"
"No."
Soshiyan shook his head, the sincerity on his face making it impossible for Azrael to see anything.
“But I speculate that this may be an organization.”
Soshiyan then described the details of these black-armored men.
"Yeah."
After listening, Azrael nodded.
"Judging from the clothing description, they do seem to be an organization, then-"
"Brother Azrael, I also have a question."
Sosh Yang interrupted the other party.
"How did you know that I had met those people?"
Azrael hesitated and opened his mouth, but did not say a word, but Soshyan guessed it.
"Did that person tell you?"
Azrael chose to remain silent, then Soshyan thought for a moment and asked:
"So. You know Him.”
Speaking of this, Soshyan paused for a while, and a thought was swirling in his mind. The fact that it could make Azrael so nervous and pay attention to it meant that the identity of the person who appeared in front of him was extremely complicated. Such a person most likely has only one identity.
However, Soshyan didn't know if there would be any risks in telling this secret in front of Azriel, so he chose a roundabout way of saying it.
"He should have some connection with your group in the past, right?"
Azriel is not a fool. Soshyan has mentioned this, and he obviously knows something.
In fact, he also knew very well that the war group had been hunting for so many years and had caused many disturbances. To say that the world didn't know about it at all was to completely deceive oneself and others.
At least many battle groups with a long history know what the Dark Angels are hunting, but they just don’t understand the deeper history.
So after careful consideration, the Supreme Master of the Dark Angel decided to see how much the other party knew before deciding what to say next.
"Captain Soshyan, how much do you know about us?"
As soon as he heard this, a lot of information immediately appeared in Soshyan's mind, most of which were Sevatar and Talos told him, but more secret information was revealed by Thor, who seemed to have investigated the First Legion specifically. He has a deep understanding of the affairs of the old First Legion and knows the ins and outs of the matter.
In his spare time, Soshyan often asked them for the secrets of the Legions of the Great Crusade, so he knew much more than his age.
For example, the origin of Dark Angel.
A long time ago, Caliban was a dead world located near the Eye of Terror. The planet's surface was covered with dense forests. Caliban was colonized by humans as early as the Golden Age. However, the Age of Strife ravaged the galaxy. The subspace storm isolated Caliban from the rest of the world, and Caliban's human civilization also degenerated into a semi-feudal state.
Before the Great Crusade arrived on Caliban, the human society on Caliban still maintained the characteristics of a medieval feudal society - there were human settlements scattered in the forest, and the ruling nobles lived in castles and fortresses. Among them, the common people carried out agricultural production and life under the protection of the nobles.
However, there is a reason why Caliban is classified as a death world by the Empire. The forest environment of Caliban is very dangerous. Not only does the forest contain a variety of deadly animals and plants, but it is also distorted by subspace pollution. For this reason, the nobles of Caliban established knights in huge monastery fortresses in many large settlements. These knights are equipped with relatively primitive and ancient armor, and pistols and swords are their standard equipment. .
When wild beasts invaded settlements, noble leaders would declare a hunting expedition, and knights would answer the call, search for and kill the beasts, complete the crusade, and defend the people of Caliban. This was the life of Caliban for countless generations. Way.
However, what really changed the fate of Caliban and the Knights was the arrival of a demigod.
The Primarch Llane El'Jonson came to Caliban. He lived alone in the dangerous Caliban forest for ten years until one day, he met another destiny. person.
At that time, Luther, a knight of the Knights, was patrolling in the forest with his companions. While they were resting, a wild man walked out of the forest. Luther's companions were very surprised, thinking that it was a wild man. The beast wanted to kill him, but Luther saw that there was something different about this man. Then Luther brought the wild man back to the Knights and gave him the name Lian Al'Jonson. It means "Lion, Son of the Forest".
Soon, the original body showed extraordinary abilities and quickly became the Grand Master of the Knights, and unified Caliban by destroying the beast.
But it was at this time that the seeds of Leon's break with his adoptive father, Luther, were laid, as he appointed a Cypher lord. (Sevita language)
When he heard this, Soshyan still felt strange, why the appointment of Lord Seph by the First Primarch caused conflict between the Primarch and his adoptive father.
Sevita explained that the Lord Seifer appointed by Leon at that time was a nobody, a young man without any merit. This was a simple and clumsy political trick, but there was no doubt that he represented A signal had been sent - Leon had chosen a man who had no connection to the Order's senior knights or masters, who was loyal only to him and who would put Jonson's best interests above all else.
To put it simply, the Lion King does not completely trust the people within the Knights.
Then, when the Emperor came to Caliban, the former Knights naturally became part of the First Legion, and the Leon's power expanded further.
When Soshyan asked what happened to Caliban, both Talos and Sevatar gave the same answer. In fact, it was what was recorded in the archives. Luther betrayed the Primarch and the Empire.
But Sol gave a different answer -
Everything started from Sarosh.
