Chapter 2530 Thundercast Warrior
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Suddenly, Li turned his head to look at Dalia, his voice became softer.
“Many times.”
Dalia just replied softly.
"But the effects of these methods are becoming more and more limited."
"Temporarily, I won't need them soon."
After the bandages were re-wrapped, Li stretched out his hands to Those hourglasses, you can immediately see that the fine sand in the hourglass begins to flow back, and at the same time, traces of light green energy begin to float out of the hourglass and merge into Li's skinny body.
After a moment, Li clenched his fists again.
“Are they coming?”
"Already arrived."
Li walked out of the room and came to the bridge hall of his personal ship, a mysterious giant ship that had never been officially registered by the empire.
As soon as he entered the bridge, Li saw two majestic bodies standing in the main passage, with their backs turned to him as if they were talking about something. They were wearing the oldest model of power armor in the empire, with weapons on their waists. The bolter is attached to a chain.
Hearing the movement of the bridge door, the two men immediately turned around, revealing their ferocious and thick faces. Both of them looked like they had been through many battles, and their faces and necks were covered with scars, as if they were broken. statues, but they also have the temperament and toughness of warriors who have fought hundreds of battles.
One of the soldiers, who was bald and had a long scar on his right eye, laughed heartily and strode over after seeing Li Hou.
"Li! Long time no see, I thought you had forgotten us!"
Li walked over with a sincere smile.
"The whole galaxy has forgotten us. If I forget you again, who will remember what happened in the past?"
On the ancient power armor of the two warriors There are almost no symbols, the former glory has long been lost with time, and now there is only a symbol of lightning splitting the skull on their chest.
"As long as you are here, our existence will still have meaning. We have been waiting for your call. After all, we, a group of sewer rats, only have this little value left."
When Li heard this, he raised his right hand.
"Babu, we are not rats anymore, I swore, not anymore. I told you when I first met you abandoned Thunder Warriors underground, The world will once again be shocked by your return. "
Yes, what appeared in front of Lee was the almost completely erased, the first batch of super soldiers created by the Emperor during the Unification War era, Thunder. warrior.
These warriors were the most powerful force under the Emperor's command during the unification of Terra, but their inherent shortcomings made it difficult for them to adapt to the Emperor's future expedition plans. Therefore, after unifying Terra and creating the Ashtar Later, the Emperor purged all Thunder Warriors, but a handful escaped and lived in anonymity in the underworld of Terra.
Arik Talanis and Guta are the two surviving Thunder Warriors. After escaping into the underground world, Arik Talani abandoned his past and adopted a new identity, Babu. Dakar, and established a gang, the Dakar Gang, which operates illegal drugs, arms, gambling, illegal food and skin and meat businesses underground in the City of Prayer. Guta is his deputy, as well as other Thunder Warriors. Also joined his group and became a small collective of Thunder Warriors.
As Terra's former "cleaning manager", Li often operated in the underground world. In fact, this kind of gang was also within his scope of "cleaning", but Li saw a lot of darkness under the unification, and he had no idea about those gangs. Exiles and refugees usually have a sympathetic attitude and will not turn a blind eye if they make a big fuss. Sometimes he will even secretly provide food for those poor refugees who have to hide in the underground world due to taxes or debts. and medicines.
This may be based on a mentality of atonement. His father established the greatest empire, but slavery and oppression do not seem to have decreased much. Many of the slave owners in the past were still slave owners, honorable ministers. He can also execute and torture his subjects at will. The poor will still be poor after reunification.
In an accidental operation, Li ran into several Thunder Warriors and followed them all the way and fell into Babu Dakar Er's trap, but he escaped at the last moment due to his quick reactions and analytical skills.
But he did not call for reinforcements. In fact, as one of the earliest genetic warriors, Li had met many high-level commanders of the Thunder Warriors, and even knew a few of them. He also sympathized with these abandoned The soldier immediately revealed his identity.
At first, Babu Dakar did not trust him, but as time went by, after discovering that Li had not pursued the truth and would often help the poor, the two parties established contact and gradually became close friends.
After the Battle of Terra, Babu Dakar gathered all the remaining Thunder Warriors, moved to a safer area under the cover of Li, and began to use the gene seeds he obtained to research and solve the genetic defect problem of the Thunder Warriors< br>
Babu Dakar never angered the Emperor because of the purge. On the contrary, he understood from the beginning that he was just a tool that could be used and thrown away. As long as a replacement appeared, he would inevitably become history. , and the Horus Heresy allowed him to see the failure of the Emperor, which gave him a strong sense of mission - the Empire was forged in the hands of the Thunder Warriors, so when it is shattered, the Thunder Warriors will also rebuild it!
More importantly, with the help of Li, he finally cracked some of the secrets of the gene seeds and used related technologies to eliminate most of the Thunder Warriors' flaws.
As the emperor's child, Li became their natural follower. At the same time, Li's resourcefulness and strategic ability deeply impressed Babu Dakar. , he saw in Li the shadow of the former emperor who scolded Fang Qiu. Maybe his power was not that strong, but the emperor did not need to go into battle to kill the enemy often.
Babu Dakar firmly believed that Lee was the one who could regenerate the Empire, and that the Primarchs and their descendants were just a group of monsters that almost destroyed the entire Empire. It was under this circumstance that the two parties formed a de facto subordination. relation.
“How are you using the new technologies I gave you?”
“Not bad. They are much better than those unstable metal implants before. They can indeed effectively improve the appearance of new ones. Modify the status and premature aging of soldiers, but the side effect is that they become more aggressive, especially towards living people. We have transferred it more than a dozen times, each time because of that world. There are no living people anymore, okay. This is the edge of the galaxy, and there are not many eyes and ears from the empire, otherwise things may not be covered up. In addition, the problem of body metalization has not been solved, but it is much better than premature aging."
"Let me see. Soldiers. "
Hearing Li's words, Guta nodded, then turned on the communicator, and opened the doors one by one as he approached the bridge. A group of people wearing ancient black MK II power armor were taller than ordinary interstellar warriors. Soldiers who were taller than soldiers walked in with neat steps. At a glance, there were thousands of them. Even because of their appearance, the temperature of the entire bridge began to drop sharply.
And the symbols on their chests are ominous omens of lightning splitting skulls.
Looking at this murderous team, Li snorted with satisfaction.
“Very good.”
He turned and looked at Babu Dakar.
“Do they have new names?”
"Not yet, isn't this waiting for you?"
"Then, since their mission is to recast the empire with thunder, let's call them Thundercast Warriors."
Babu Da After Kaer read it twice, he nodded and said:
"Okay, this is a good name. From now on we will be Thundercast Warriors!"
"Then we are about to set off."< br>
"Where are we going?"
"Gray-white witch Gu."
"Isn't that a place where aliens are infested?"
"Yes, we are going to find it. A group of businessmen, buying some weapons and equipment for the next operation, and also getting some helpers."
"Aliens?"
"The Stryxis, a group of aliens who hate the Eldar the most, I have already met their envoys from the Sienese Convention, and they are willing to trade with us."
"Since you The arrangements have been made, let’s go.”
Li turned around and gave orders to the crew members near the huge operating platform.
"Call all ships and make a subspace jump in twenty minutes."
