Chapter 2248 Victory Parade
In Rozim’s eyes, the sunlight at dawn was like a beam of light emitted from orbit.
It seems to be summer on the earth. Although the earth has almost no distinct climate, the trajectory of the sun will not change. At this time, the sun will patrol the sky in the northern hemisphere for a long time, and daylight will appear. It was relatively early, and of course it was limited to the area above the surface. After all, 70% of Terra's population actually lived inside the hive or under the city roof. Day and night were meaningless to them.
At first, the sun's light was very weak, but thanks to the efforts of the Adeptus Mechanicus, today's weather is exceptionally clear. In the past, the pollution and smog generated by the city would have always shrouded the sky, but today there is much less.
Standing on the observation deck, Rozim saw the pink-gray sky in the early morning. The stars and the moon were fading, but the lights of the low-Earth orbit facilities were still shining. Among the huge artificial facilities entrenched in the sky Below, the lower spacecraft and platform were illuminated by the approaching sun, and the scenery looked too distorted against the sky, like paper cutouts taped to a child's ceiling.
And when he looked down, he could see countless complicated roads, which seemed to be one, and people were still surging among them.
As the morning sun shines down, everything is shrouded in the dawn light.
The flags on both sides of the Avenue of Heroes all fluttered under the influence of artificial air currents, and the huge speakers installed on the outside roared. The huge hot air balloons began to line up above the avenue, advancing slowly, like Like a bulky beast of burden, the airship is decorated with a huge skull and eagle emblem, and the red Aquila flag symbolizing the glorious victory of the empire flutters on both sides of the airship below.
"Come on, come on, let's start!"
Rozim quickly greeted the two people in the room. Iswin immediately ran over with a plate, and Dogo dragged a chair.
When they used observation equipment to look into the distance, the first thing they saw was three state-run ceremonial cars with huge sky eagle symbols slowly approaching. Each car was more than fifteen meters long and nearly eight meters wide, almost The avenues are packed to the brim with unique sculptures, representing the emperor's rise, expeditions and suffering respectively. The golden sculptures are often accompanied by blazing torches.
Each ceremonial car also carries a complete choir, who chant melodious and majestic hymns loudly, and transmit the sound to tens of kilometers through the airship in the sky.
Behind the state church ceremonial car was the sound of "ta! da! da", followed by a seemingly endless line of people extending from the distance. Their queues were marching in neat steps. , it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people, with every fifty people forming a small square formation, and every ten small square formations forming a large square formation.
At the front of each square formation were three soldiers holding three large flags. They were all red flags symbolizing victory, but the badges were different. The whole team was majestic.
Although the soldiers in different phalanxes all wore different armors, their behavior seemed to be carved from the same mold. Their movements were extremely neat, their arms were waving, and their steps were exactly the same.
"What are these, the Sun Army? I seem to have seen them before when I was bored and wandering around the archives."
Sixina made a helpless expression after hearing this.
“Which archives are you going to? The name of the Sun Army disappeared after the Great Rebellion, but most of Terra’s ancient defenders have survived. These are the Palatine Sentinels and Katanda. The Strong Army, the 23rd Hajada Guard, the 13th Astlan Void Jackal Regiment, etc. You see, that phalanx is the Terran 1st Tank Regiment. Do you know why their flag is a horse archer? Because in the Great Rebellion? In the final stage, they fought side by side with the Primarch of the Fifth Legion and launched a heroic assault on the fallen Lions Gate Airport, retaking this important area from the hands of the traitors in one fell swoop. The banner was awarded to them by the Primarch Jaghatai Khan. "
When the infantry phalanx appeared, warm cheers immediately came from both sides of the Avenue of Heroes. At the same time, the sun gradually moved to the diagonal top of the hotel where Rozim was located. Sprinkle golden light on the Avenue of Heroes.
It can be seen that everything is calculated very accurately.
Among the infantry phalanxes, there were also priests in robes. They held incense burners and silently followed each phalanx, representing the emperor's silent but never-ending gaze. At the same time, a large number of little angels flew through the sky in groups like white doves, scattering countless petals downwards.
Suddenly, the horn sounded again, and the four people quickly looked into the distance.
Amidst the sound of metal clashing, which was completely different from that of ordinary infantry, Imperial Fist warriors in bright yellow armor walked over. They carried bolters and marched neatly in company units. The company commander and adjutant They walked in front, the flag bearers holding high the ancient company battle flag. Their appearance immediately triggered another wave of cheers. At the front of all the teams were the new Chapter Masters of the Imperial Fists Von Hagen and a company led by Lysander , the Terminators followed the chapter leader like a high wall of silence, but other than that, the Imperial Fists did not come up with any more technical equipment, except for the 10 centurions who walked at the end.
As the ten centurions holding the battle passed by, the metal horn roared again, and it was more majestic than before.
The crowd's cheers reached their peak, almost creating a wave of sound.
With the silver armor shining in the sun, the Terminator phalanx holding shields and power spears slowly walked forward, and a company of Astral Knights appeared first!
“Ah, tsk tsk, Captain Mark is really in a good mood now.”
Rozim not only praised him, but also did not pay attention to the doubtful look cast by Scyna.
The terminators of the Astral Knights Company were dressed in white robes, with Captain Maximilian walking at the front. He did not hold a spear, but held the sword at his waist with his left hand and the palm of his right hand straightened. He put his five fingers together, raised his palms vertically in front of his chest, and walked forward intently. Behind him were two adjutants and a flag bearer, who also made this gesture - Soshyan had informed the high lord in advance that this was The other party has no objections to the unique culture of Nathan No. 4. (If you can’t imagine the pose, go and see the last large-scale cosplay of the Pahlavi Dynasty)
After the first company came the second company. Ustad also had the same posture. At the same time, the soldiers' chins were all raised 30 degrees, which vividly showed their pride and pride.
Then came the third company, the fourth company, the newly formed fifth company, then the sixth company, and the tenth company.
Then there was an independent square formation of 6 Dreadnoughts. This time Soshyan did not choose the eye-catching Contemptor Dreadnought, but a more traditional cast iron Dreadnought. One of the Dreadnoughts was Salta from Starclaw. gram.
The huge square body is engraved with the past images of the living people inside, and it is covered with purity brands and scriptures. Each fearless also carries a battle flag on its back. When they pass by, the loudspeaker plays Its roar.
The long line of people walked from far away to near, and the four of them were almost overwhelmed, because looking up close, they could always see some details that were not clear before, but soon their attention was not there. .
for the crowd's cheers began to continue to rise.
“Here comes the Chapter Master!”
When Rozim grinned, Scyna looked at him strangely.
The metal horn roared again.
