Chapter 160 The Emperor’s eldest son
……
Galaxy number 8944.
At the Mandeville Point far away from the celestial body, the subspace rift suddenly opened and then dissipated.
The fleet of the Twelve Legions jumped out of the subspace and entered the real universe.
Another fleet that had been waiting here quickly sailed towards the Twelve Legion fleet.
After several months of sailing, the fleet of the Twelve Legions arrived at the rendezvous point requested by the First Legion. Since the subspace route was quite stable, the long journey went smoothly.
On the command deck of the Resolute Resolve, Qin Xia and Angron stood side by side, looking at the communication panel.
The Empire's double-headed eagle logo rotated a few times on the panel, and then two lines of words appeared.
【Indomitable Truth】
[Communication connection established]
"Your Highness." The communication staff saluted, "This is the flagship of the First Legion's Indomitable Truth. The original body of the First Legion is ready to meet you on Planet Three."
On the opposite side is the First Legion fleet led by Ryan El Jonson.
While the communication was going on, Qin Xia used his psychic vision to observe the First Legion fleet.
The number of ships in that fleet is at least four times more than the less than twenty warships of the Twelve Legions. That is not the entire naval power of the First Legion.
As a commando force, the Twelve Legions certainly have weak naval power, but this is not the only reason for the disparity in naval power between the two sides.
The First Legion and the First Primarch, as the Emperor's eldest sons and the first Space Marines in history, have gained more trust from the Emperor and the Empire, whether they are the navy, the army or those who There are many weird and ancient gadgets.
In Qin Xia's vision, the navy of the First Army Corps was very strong.
But their navy warships don't look in good condition. Some warships look like they have just been repaired, and some warships even have the golden double-headed eagle logo missing. They have obviously just experienced a big battle.
As for what that war was...
The Second Randan War.
Probably, Qin Xia thought.
"I am Angron, the Primarch of the Twelve Legions." Angron asked, "Isn't Llane, the Primarch of the First Legion, on the flagship? Why don't I see him now?"
"The Lion King is a little busy." The communication staff replied.
Qin Xia stopped using his psychic vision and looked at Angron.
On the way here, Qin Xia had already roughly told Angron about the character of Lionel Johnson.
So Angron can now make the right decision, making this meeting smoother and faster, and allowing the Twelve Legion to gain some benefits.
"Let me see my brother now." Angron said, "I heard that he is an amazingly talented marshal, commander, and warrior. The first legion he led is also the strongest of all legions. Big, I just want to see what kind of person my brother is."
The communication staff saluted: "I will tell the Lion King, but the original plan is to meet on the third planet, you are sure. We will meet the Lion King."
"Okay." Angron nodded.
The content displayed on the communication panel turned into a rotating double-headed eagle, and the communication ended.
……
A moment later.
The hangar deck of the USS Resolute.
The huge gate connecting the hangar to the external void opened and closed. A fleet of transport planes entered the hangar and landed. After the oxygen was refilled into the hangar, the gate to the interior of the battleship opened.
Angron, Qin Xia, Kiel, company commanders, flag officers...these senior officials of the Twelve Legions all entered the hangar, and then stood in front of the transport aircraft formation and waited.
The door of the first transport plane opened, and the Primarch Guards of the First Legion walked out first, standing on both sides of the road.
Then a tall figure slowly walked out of the shadow of the cabin.
Ryan El'Jonson held his head high, wore battle armor, and rested his hand on the sword at his waist. He looked very impressive.
"Brother." Angron saluted with his hand on his heart.
Ryan walked to a position one meter away from Angron, took off his helmet and held it in his hands, looking at Angron with burning eyes.
“A strong warrior and an unyielding resister, as my father said.” Ryan handed the helmet to the nearest guard, “In my dream, my father told me about your deeds, brother. ”
Angron nodded.
Although Qin Xia always said that Ryan was difficult to get along with, so far, this meeting was not as smooth as the meeting with Perturabo.
Ryan is very proud, very confident, and sometimes very irritable.
Angron can detect the things contained in emotions. In fact, Ryan is just like his adoptive father said.
But he could also detect that Ryan was happy and he liked to be praised and praised.
"I have also heard about my brother's deeds. You are as majestic as the rumors say." Angron said, "As far as I know, the First Legion is the most powerful of all legions. Only the strongest Only those who are strong can make them obey and command them."
Hearing another compliment, Ryan did not show a proud look on his face, just a slight smile on his lips.
"My legion dispersed to help my brothers fight, and my heirs also followed you. I have heard many stories about you from the legion commander." Angron said again, "I I believe that if one day all of us Primarchs must unite to face a common enemy, then I think there is no one better qualified to command us than you."
Ryan chuckled and spoke slowly: "Let's talk about business."
Angron nodded.
Lian continued: "My father asked you to transport some armored vehicles to me. Have you brought them?"
"It's in the flagship warehouse. It should be there by now." Transported to your fleet," Angron replied.
"You keep half of those things." Ryan waved his hand, "The first legion is not short of equipment, and your legion will go on an expedition alone in the future. You need supplies more than I do."
"Thank you." Angron saluted, then turned to look at Qin Xia.
Qin Xia smiled and nodded.
This meeting was only because the Twelve Legions wanted to go to Corax first and help transport some vehicles along the way. Therefore, the purpose of the meeting has been achieved so far, and there is no need for further discussions.
There was also an unexpected gain from this meeting, which was half of the vehicles of the Twelve Legions given to them by Ryan with a wave of his hand. That half of the vehicles could arm at least two Space Marine armor companies.
"Perhaps we will fight side by side in the future, but not yet." Ryan said, turning around and returning to the transport plane.
The transport plane on which the Lion King was riding gradually started to prepare to leave.
The remaining dozens of large transport planes remained motionless, and Angron thought they were also given to him by Ryan.
But those transport planes were not actually from the First Army.
When their cabin doors opened, the Space Marines in the iconic blue and white colors of the Twelve Legions came out.
The Space Marines lined up and gathered together to form phalanxes one after another.
Angron could tell how many people there were at a glance.
About 40,000 people.
The number is 10,000 less than the 50,000 people fighting with the Fourth Army, but their quality seems to be surprisingly high.
More than a dozen fearless mechas.
Terminator Company.
And Qin Xia just glanced at it and saw that there were many ruthless people from the Twelve Legions inside.
Including a warrior who stands out among the Space Marines in terms of height.
Qin Xia is very sure that Lane has just finished the second Randan War, because the powerful troops and ruthless characters in the Twelve Legions have gathered at Lane and have just returned.
The huge and heavy fearless mechas stand at the front of the phalanx, their model is the Contemptor.
Legion Commander Kil saluted Angron, then walked to one of the ornately decorated Dreadnoughts, and saluted very respectfully: "Legion Commander Lorc."
This Dreadnought was the previous legion of the Twelve Legions Long controlled.
The previous legion commander named Lorke looked down at Kil in the Dreadnought Mecha. He was severely disabled and unable to make any movements, but he could make movements through the Dreadnought Mecha.
After nodding, Lorke looked at Angron: "Primarch, forgive me for not being able to leave this coffin to see you and salute you."
"I understand, Lorke Erke, I understand." Angron nodded and closed his eyes.
The Primarch sensed that all the Dreadnoughts, including Lorco, were in pain.
Of course.
In the Dreadnought mecha, there is not a pilot who sits inside and controls the Dreadnought like a vehicle, but rather disabled people one after another.
They were too disabled to be treated and were sent into Dauntless in a near-death state, so Dauntless was a coffin in Lorke's words.
Angron approached the Dreadnought where Lorke was, and stretched out his hand on the Dreadnought's metal arm.
When Lorke wanted to ask the Gene Father why he was like this, he suddenly felt his pain passing quickly.
An expression of pain appeared on Angron's face, but he quickly endured and digested it.
Angron walked to the next Dreadnought, absorbing the pain as well.
After absorbing the pain of each fearless controller one by one, he stood in front of everyone again.
"Praise to the Lord of the Twelve Legions." Lorke controlled Fearless and raised his giant hand to his chest.
The Dreadnoughts all did the same, and the Space Marines saluted in the same way.
"You look like you have just experienced a tragic battle." The original body's eyes fell on everyone, "What did you face with the First Legion?"
" We have just crushed the attack of a powerful alien empire," Lorke immediately replied, "We are not only fighting side by side with the First Legion, but also several other legions. The attack of a powerful alien empire named Ran Dan has been carried out by countless people. We won glory for you, as always."
"Ran Dan." Angron looked back at Qin Xia, and he remembered that his adoptive father had mentioned it when he told about the Great Expedition. the name.
Ran Dan Empire.
The human empire had just paid a huge price when it came into contact with this powerful force.
During the First Ran Dan War, the human empire fought against Ran Dan, paying huge sacrifices and destroying a world-sized war machine, but later it was discovered that it was just an outpost of the Ran Dan Empire.
In the second Ran Dan War, the Ran Dan Empire took the initiative to attack and captured many imperial worlds in a short period of time.
Their attack was disrupted, but they were not exterminated.
There will definitely be a third Ran Dan War.
"Will we be transferred to fight Ran Dan in the future?" Angron asked Lorke, and then looked at Qin Xia.
"Obviously, of course." Qin Xia did not hesitate.
“This is inevitable.” Lorke also believes that the Twelve Legions will be transferred to participate in the next Randan War. “Your descendants are powerful warriors, and we are indispensable in any large-scale war. "
Angron thought about it and felt that it would be a good thing if the Twelve Legions could participate in the next war against Ran Dan.
The Ran Dan aliens were too terrifying and cruel. After their active invasion, many human worlds were conquered and destroyed, with countless human casualties.
And worlds once occupied by Randan will become impossible to colonize again.
Not to mention that the Twelve Legions, as powerful legions, must accept orders to join large-scale wars. Even if there is no transfer order, the Twelve Legions still have to participate in the war.
Thinking of this, Angron said to the more than 40,000 descendants in front of him: "I will personally lead you in the next Randan War and fight side by side with you until that damn empire is completely destroyed by us."
"Glorious!" the Space Marines responded in unison.
Qin Xia looked at the space warriors in front of him.
As soon as these people returned, the combat effectiveness of the Twelve Legions was almost restored to 80%.
The Legion can be dispersed, with one part going to find Corax with the Primarch, and the other part reclaiming one human world after another.
But no matter what, the 40,000 people in front of them must follow Angron, because they still don’t know what changes have occurred in the Legion. If they are allowed to disperse and regain the human world, Angron will only get bloodshed one after another. planet.
