The raven flies among the shadows in the Imperial fleet - not just the Macragge's Glory, but among the shadows "in the fleet": for thousands of years, they have long been familiar with the ways of the warp. The Raven Lord no longer needs the navigation of subspace teleportation platforms and beacons when making such short jumps.
He had to admit that when he first heard about the concept of "Primaris Warriors" from Guilliman, he felt a kind of fear that originated from the bottom of his heart. Facts had proven time and time again, whether he knew it or not, to all those in the universe who attempted to do so, that all attempts to tamper with the Emperor's creations would ultimately end badly. Even though his brother had repeatedly assured him that this was a fully mature and stable technology that had undergone extensive testing, he was still... somewhat skeptical.
Especially when he heard that this was a group of warriors with stronger bodies and more stable temperaments than the "Firstborn Sons", his uneasiness reached its peak. Rationally, he repeatedly told himself that these warriors had been in the ranks since the beginning of the Indomitable Crusade and had experienced about a hundred years of trials on the battlefield. Guilliman could say this with confidence, of course, because during this period, enough people had been produced to serve as There were numerous examples of evidence, but emotionally, he would still think of his descendants who had endured the torture of mutation, and in the end he had to personally end this suffering for them.
Because of this uneasy feeling that could not be eliminated, after using some mysterious sensing to find the ship where his Primaris heirs were, Corax did not appear from the shadows, but still in this form that resembled a raven. Walking through dimly lit corridors. He lurked under the darkness, harboring doubts about them, and even more so about himself, and silently looked at the small group of people in front of him who were not in a state of combat readiness. He had never seen them but was indeed connected by his blood. The original heir——
——Until one of them suddenly raised his head inexplicably, even though he had to squint his eyes because of the light emitted by the chandelier, he still insisted on looking at the shadow in which Corax was hiding.
The same genes will always echo each other, especially when the distance is close enough and the perception of both in this regard is high enough. While he did consider delaying, Corax had anticipated this. After a brief hesitation, he chose to emerge from the shadow cast by the chandelier on the ceiling, and appeared in front of his heir without saying a word.
He didn't know what to say to these heirs he had never met. Fortunately, apparently, his heirs didn't know either. Among their cousins, the Raven's Children have always seemed a little quiet: quiet in their victories, quiet in their defeats, quiet in their joys, quiet in their sorrows.
When they finally reunited with their genetic father, the ship they were on was quiet.

The celebratory feast between Guilliman and his cursed heir ended happily in Macraggean fashion. From the next day, these dead people began to turn into golden particles and dissipate one by one. Even though the Imperial Regent has been told that this is just the remnants that should no longer exist in reality returning to their rightful place, he still feels a little confused about it.
He woke up from a dream that was so beautiful that it seemed unrealistic, but he was not qualified to indulge in it. He also needs to face a reality that is not so good, but seems to be getting better. After all the Cursed Ultramarines returned to the Emperor's throne, the Ultramarines Librarian Varro Tigris led a small fleet to set off in response to the order. He will return to Macragge, the homeworld of the Ultramarines, and take over the current affairs of the current Chapter Master Marius Calgar, so that the other party can free up his hands from the work of lords and defense, and lead troops to rush for reinforcements. star.
Under Guilliman's orders, the Astropaths began sending messages to all Raven Guard units and sub-chapters they could locate, informing them of Corvos Corax's return. They haven't had time to receive a reply yet, but everyone can imagine that this news will greatly encourage all the descendants of the Raven Lord. Due to the client's personal preferences and requirements, Corax's return was not widely announced to the entire empire through a grand ceremony - after all, he would next take over as Conrad Curze's jailer, and the latter's existence was Most people don't want to expose their secrets to the empire.
After another day or two, Fujimaru Ritsuka had to say goodbye to Konrad Coze: from the beginning, they received two completely different tasks from the emperor. One of them needed to build the dark side of the empire. Lighthouse, and the other person needs to lead troops to cleanse a planet that is currently trapped in the Great Rift and may have been infected by Chaos. The two of them had long known that they had to part ways due to different tasks, but neither of them expected that it would happen so quickly:
The matter on Parmenio is over, and the Plague War is almost over, but the end of the expedition of the Imperial Regent Fleet is still far away. Guilliman must go to the next battlefield where he is waiting for support-and for For the Night Lords, who have now become too large, it is obviously impossible to effectively supervise them with the manpower on the Storm Frontier alone. Konrad Curze must also stay with his heirs. He is still being held in the fleet that is preparing to set off.
Because the disinfection work on the Emperor's Dream is expected to last two months - after all, it is a larger ship than the average Glory Queen-class battleship, and the interior is designed by the Emperor's wisdom. The structure is even more complicated. Even if the imperial regent organizes and coordinates a small team from the imperial army around him, the construction period cannot be faster. Fujimaru Ritsuka had to stay on Parmenio with her, but the good news is that this small group of Custodes will join the Storm Frontier as crew members. Guilliman has taken away the "security force" around her (referring to Conrad Coates).
In addition, the Dark Angels on the Lion's Mane are still preparing to continue sailing with the Stormbound. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Lan Malok whether they wanted to find the remains of the legion that has continued to this era, and meet with the blood brothers who were born in the present. If they wanted to, then Fujimaru Ritsuka would naturally not stop it, but after some discussion among the Dark Angels, Ranmarok told her that no matter what, the Lion's Mane and the Storm Frontier would eventually go to the Empire's dark side. face. This matter can wait until Barr is reached and then consider the situation.
In addition, it is very confusing that Yago Severtarion and the ten black guards led by him were somehow killed by Robert Guilliman, Konrad Curze, and even Corvos. Corax and the three men ignored it with a will, as if tacitly agreeing that they should be left on the Stormbound. The fact that they could not follow their genetic father in the war (even under the supervision of the Raven Guard) did demoralize the Nightborne, but in Fujimaru Ritsuka's opinion, this incident created the most negative feeling. That person is Judge Sibylla Hastings: Since that night conversation, Kaelia has inexplicably learned a little bit about how to find foreign aid, and has now begun to work with these Night Lords, including Sevatar. The three people inside successfully united and when faced with the teacher's overly harsh and unreasonable treatment, they used various tricks to create obstacles for him.
The lackluster days went by like this. A month later, the Tyros Cathedral was finally renamed the "Cathedral of the Emperor's Manifestation". Its function as a temple-level magic workshop was also superficially used by the National Religion, trying to use it as a magic weapon. A more bloody and fanatical way to produce psychic talismans. Surprisingly enough, it was Mathieu who put on the brakes appropriately here. He seemed to believe that his mission in the rest of his life was to make the Imperial Temple operate correctly and sustainably. Therefore, he applied to the Imperial Regent to resign from his position as War Apostle, and decided to stay here and spend the rest of his life cultivating the Pagoda. Menio was built as a shrine world. Of course, Guilliman agreed.
This is more or less an unexpected thing, but the unexpected things are far more than that: in Macragge's Hera Fortress, Diglis explained to Calgar "what happened before this" with an obviously frightened expression. During the process, the guards suddenly reported to them that they had captured a "misbehaving Ultramarine" wandering nearby. And it wasn't until the director of the think tank took the time to interrogate the prisoner in person that he discovered that the Ultramarine who was accused of being sneaky and walking around aimlessly near the Fortress of Hera was the Ionid who somehow stayed behind. Hill - Fujimaru Ritsuka said that she had no knowledge of this, but she said so, but her guilty expression was very obvious.
The final conclusion is that Ionid Hill was also captured by Marius Calgar and joined the team to support the Vigilance Star. And when they set off, Somny, who had finally completed the cleanup project, was finally qualified to transform back into the Forbidden Forces, and once again happily rooted himself in the main control room of the Storm Frontier. The first batch of Raven's Sons to arrive had already caught up with the Imperial Regent's fleet, and the Iron Hands' Claw of Destruction had returned to their Chapter's home planet of Medusa after being overhauled.
"You can't do this!" Eye of Medusa, outside the central altar, the members of the Iron Hands formed a sparse front on the ground - this move has no tactical significance at all, they just let themselves He stood there like a useless obstacle, shouting at the visitor with a confused despair: "You can't do this to the only remaining remains of our father!"
The visitor's cold and hard face showed anger, but almost surprisingly, compared to the obvious anger, the emotion that was easier to interpret on it was a kind of sadness:
"I am your father," Ferrus Manus declared.
Miwu (six o'clock)
The laws of the ancestors cannot be changed, and the graves of the ancestors cannot be dug up, even if the ancestors come in person!
(Serenity) This concludes this volume! (Huh?) It may feel a little rushed, but that’s exactly what I decided in the outline... (eyes wandering)
