"My father got acquainted with my mother when he was a street gangster in Hades' Hive. Later, my father used the money he got from selling illegal drugs on his own risk to redeem my mother and give her Arranged a place to live These are what I heard from other people when I was a child. Although my mother always told me not to be like my father, she always seemed very happy every time my father came to see us secretly."
Jacob looked at the one-eyed man who had erected the tombstone and was sitting in front of the grave chattering nervously, and his eyes gradually became a little unfocused.
“I always thought that our fighting could make things better, or at least do something for them. I never understood why the Chapter Master wasted so much time on mundane matters. And energy, just use fists to make those people surrender. Until now, I finally understand, I finally understand the reasons and meanings of the laws and rules he promulgated in those worlds."
As he spoke, he raised his head. He raised his hand and pointed at the grave covered with flowers.
“Just to prevent this tragedy from happening again, this is the most valuable thing.”
Gradually, Jacob's eyes refocused and became determined.
"If everything in the Empire cannot be better, then let everything in the Legion be better."
Bahram raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then stood up.
"Then, it's time for us to leave and return to our brothers."
Jacob nodded and stood up.
"Yes, company commander."
At this time, he thought of something and suddenly asked:
"Company commander, what should we do with the ship and the passengers on it?"
"This is the work of the Ministry of Justice. They said they will first transport them to a safe and isolated area, and then screen them one by one. The infection of the gene stealers is highly concealed, and the ship cannot be used. Yes, it has to be thrown directly into the star to be destroyed."
Jacob sneered.
"Company Commander, do you think they will go to such effort? I guess they will send those people to a desolate mining planet, and then let them fend for themselves as coolies, so as to avoid risks to the greatest extent."< br>
Bahram was speechless and could only pick up the helmet and put it on.
At this time, the Thunderhawk has roared down from the sky. Bahram walked into the cabin first. Before Jacob entered, he looked back at the one-eyed man. This farm now belongs to him. This is also The only thing he can do for him is that maybe he can enjoy the last moments of peace in his life while spending time with Elisabeth.
And he
may gradually forget all this in the endless war in the future, this place
But maybe, he will always remember that girl who was as holy as an angel.
After returning to the ship, the 10th company of the Astral Knights left the galaxy, but they did not return to Nessen IV. Instead, they went straight to the galaxy where the Ascetic's home planet of Posule is located, because the headquarters of the Suffering Alliance, the Scar of Victory Fortress, was temporarily parked at the edge of the galaxy. The mission of the 10th Company was not only combat training, but also "social" training. , this is what Soshyan told Bahram, to make the recruits familiar with the comrades and allies they will fight side by side in the future, so after finishing the actual combat training, Bahram took the company to the Scar of Victory , the company will stay there for a period of time to allow the new recruits to have some exchanges with the warriors from each chapter who have stayed at the Scar of Victory.
At this time, the person in charge of the Scar of Victory was already the Chapter Master of the White Templars, Arash, who had just arrived not long after finishing the management of the Nessen System. However, when the ships of the 10th Company approached the Scar of Victory, Bahram discovered some clues. In addition to members of the Tribulation Alliance and some ships of the Mechanicum, there were also several ships with strange markings in the port area. By scanning the symbol, Bahram found the answer from the Astartes Directory -
"The Fire Claw Chapter."
"Now they call themselves the Relic Chapter."
In a spacious and bright office with a strong military style, Arash and Bahram stood side by side in front of a small projector. Various information about this Chapter The information slides slowly on it.
Bahram looked at it seriously, but Arash had a sad look on his face.
The founding of the Fire Claw Chapter can be traced back to the dark period of the Age of Apostasy. Many records at that time have been covered up by time in the chaos. It can only be known that it was roughly the 36M period. The Chapter was deployed after its establishment. Near the Eye of Terror, it is one of the twenty chapters responsible for defending the Eye of Terror. The chapter's monastery fortress is located in a Ramey-class star fortress, surrounding the world of Tovar Minoris, and has always been an important part of the Empire. The powerful force that resisted the invasion of Chaos has enjoyed a high reputation in the annals of the Empire many times.
In 900.M41, the Chapter assisted the Forge World Underworld No. 8 in fending off an invasion of a hulk, a hulk called the Sin Catcher, which contained a Chaos warband who believed in Tzeentch. Under the guidance of the radical Inquisitor de Marche, the regiment joined the Hulk and eliminated the Chaos Champion.
"Atonement Crusade?"
Bahram looked a little stunned when he saw the red message from the Inquisition. Arash nodded helplessly.
“Yes, they are currently in the state of the Atonement Crusade, and were issued an expedition punishment order by the Holy Hammer Order in 932.”
“Why?”
Arash reached out and knocked on the console, and then a line of bright yellow messages floated out.
"This is the verdict document sent from the nearest Inquisition stronghold. After the Inquisitors learned that the Fire Claws had arrived at the Scar of Victory, they also warned us not to get too close to them."
"A Astarte's decision is up to Astarte himself."
Bahram said it very simply, which made Arash on the side stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the recruit company commander. So tough.
But Bahram remained focused on the message above.
". Colluding with heretic inquisitors and hiding heretical and witchcraft artifacts? It means"
"It's probably something related to the Chaos Demon. I just had a chat with Artkus Badan, the chapter leader of the Fire Claws. The situation is probably that during their chapter's battle with the hulk, the think tank director Deka Leo disarmed the Chaos Champion's weapon and used it to destroy his enemies. Afterwards, the accompanying Inquisitor de Marche declared that the weapons of Chaos were a means of fighting violence with violence and could be used to destroy the Emperor's enemies instead of Directly destroyed, Artkus was finally persuaded by the Inquisitor and the Librarian to secretly hide all the Chaos artifacts, and spent the next thirty years exploring the world around the Eye of Terror under the guidance of the radical Inquisitor. Collecting those Chaos relics until they were discovered by the conservative Inquisitor, the other party directly summoned four battle groups plus an Emperor-class battleship as the flagship, a fleet of more than fifty battleships, and attacked the Fire Claw in a mighty manner. Faced with the threat of destruction on their home planet, the Fire Claw Chapter had no choice. They obeyed the other party's demands and were forced to hand over the monastery fortress and their home star for a century-long atonement expedition, while De Marche was sentenced to death by the conservative Inquisitor. The heretic status was executed, and the name was permanently deleted. The Atonement Crusade has been going on for more than forty years now, and it will be almost fifty or sixty years before it ends."
