Chapter 1991 The Throne of the Lion
“Hello, it is a great honor, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexei.”
Nichel, the Chapter Master of the Devotees Chapter, has a capable head. With short blond hair and one eye replaced by a prosthetic eye, he looks very much like the Dark Angel in temperament, with the nobility of a knight and a strange sense of mystery.
If Azriel hadn't told him, he would have thought he was the captain of some secret company of the Dark Angels.
"Hello, Chapter Master Nichel."
Azrael then led Soshyan to another warrior wearing a dark green Terminator. On his shoulders was a white lion holding a sword, and he was also covered with a white burqa, including The soldiers behind him were also wearing robes and hoods, looking extremely mysterious, much like a large group of interrogating priests.
“This is Jigme Moni, Chapter Master of the Disciples of Caliban.”
The founding of the Disciples of Caliban is shrouded in mystery and controversy, somewhere in M37 During this period, the incoming Grand Master Anazir (a name that is easily confused with Azrael) requested the Council of the High Lords of Terra to establish a new sub-group.
At that time, such a request made by the leader of the founding group for no reason was unheard of. After all, each starting group was not well-off at this time, and the gene seed supplement itself was not completely enough. It is difficult to establish new sub-groups.
But this request was eventually approved, and the Disciples of Caliban were founded.
This war group has been extremely mysterious from the beginning. Soshyan only knew that there was such a person, but knew nothing about their specific situation. Moreover, their color scheme and style were almost exactly the same as those of the Dark Angels. If you don’t look at it, The logos are completely indistinguishable from the two Chapters, which is hard not to associate with each other.
In fact, Soshyan also thought that perhaps the former First Legion had never been dispersed. If it had not devoted a lot of energy and troops to hunting down the fallen angels, the First Legion should have created more value.
In a sense, the First Legion has been trapped in a civil war that has lasted for ten thousand years, and it is unknown when it will end.
After introducing the important characters, Azrael personally led Soshyan to the bridge of the Unyielding Truth.
The red carpet underfoot concealed the heavily armed footsteps of the Space Marines. When Soshyan came to a magnificent hall, he first saw the banner embroidered by the slaves of the Scroll Hall hanging above his head. The Compiler They record the many battle honors of the Dark Angels from the establishment of the Legion era to the present. Countless black cloth banners, edged with red and white lines, are hung on the huge domes and walls, listing tens of thousands of planets, space stations, The names of asteroids, moons, and space hulks where the First Legion had triumphed in the past, some of them multiple times, were barely legible in the darkness.
There are many altars in the hall, and Soshyan's eyes passed over the ancient objects placed on the cloth. This is the place where the First Legion displays their ancient history and glory.
One of them is a metal wine glass that does not look special. According to Azriel, it is the wine glass that the original body used on Caliban's last night.
The other is an ordinary piece of metal fragment. It is said that this object was the first sword used by the primarch after he came to Caliban and became a knight. When he slayed a giant beast Broken into several pieces, this was a fragment recovered after the war.
There is also the first dress worn by the original body when he became a Knight Commander, a metal saddle derived from the ancient Knights of Caliban, etc.——
There is also a huge hanging on the wall The pale skull of the beast is said to be the skeleton of the alien beast that died at the hands of the former Legion champion Corswain.
Ancient history, a legacy more important than some sacred ornaments, Soshyan understood why the First Legion treasured so many fragments from the distant past. These relics represented something that had a profound impact on the First Legion. events, and these events in turn set off a series of subsequent changes that spanned the entire era from the founding of the First Legion to its schism. After passing through this ancient hall, Soshyan entered the bridge of the Indomitable Truth.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge throne. It is so big that even Soshyan is wearing a Terminator seat and looks spacious. The whole is made of ivory and obsidian, with many forests and knights carved on it. , looks very gorgeous.
Obviously, this throne only belongs to one person.
Soshyan looked at a huge hanging painting behind the throne, which should have been hung up by the Dark Angels after the original body left.
The picture shows a bust of a proud and mysterious man. His mane-like gray-blond hair is tightly tied into a ponytail. A simple silver ring is set on his broad forehead. Below is a pale face. His face seemed to be permanently shrouded in the shadow of the dense forest, never seeing the sun all day long.
The man's eyes were as green as a lush forest, and his cheeks were thin and slender. The thick sable cloak slipped from his shoulders, with white mink as an embellishment, and the bottom was dyed silver curls. The pure black armor was shiny and engraved with various complex and gorgeous crests of roaring lions. Just like his eyes, they were cold and profound, as if he were a lion looking at his own kingdom.
Without Azrael’s introduction, Soshyan could guess that this was the original body of the First Legion, Leon Jonson. (Hey, I don’t want to look at the mouth and teeth of an old man with a white beard!!!)
This original body, for some reason, gave Soshyan the feeling that even if it was a simple portrait, it exuded a dark, dark feeling. A gloomy sense of majesty, with the pride and pride of a true king.
Probably after the upheaval in Caliban, the loyal Dark Angels drew what they believed to be the most authentic original body and placed it here for all future generations to admire.
As Soshyan looked at the portrait of the Primarch, the other Dark Angels and the warriors of those sub-chapters also performed an ancient Caliban knightly etiquette to the portrait.
Soshiyang looked away, but his thoughts drifted to another place.
The Dark Angels announced that the original body was dead, but does that mean that the original body's remains were stored in the Stone Fortress?
If this was the case, he would still like to pay his respects in person if he had the chance. After all, it seemed that the First Legion had some connections with the Eleventh Legion back then.
But Soshyan is always a little unsure. Is the original body really so easy to die?
He now regrets that he was unconscious when he met Chagatai Khan, otherwise he would have been able to ask a lot of things.
Although we have arrived at the bridge, things cannot be said here. After chatting with everyone for a while, Soshyan and Azrael, as well as the senior leaders of the Dark Angel inner circle, and the two chapter leaders entered the nearby in a strategy room.
This room is not big, but even a little dark. There are no chairs, only a round, unactivated imager in the middle, as if everything is shrouded in darkness and secrets.
Soshiyang thought that maybe he was the first outsider to participate in the internal meeting of the Dark Angel.
This experience cannot be said to be good, but it is indeed quite fresh.
