Faced with Angeltai's firm attitude of never giving up without getting to the bottom of things, Luo Jia suddenly felt relieved.
"It seems that you have already guessed what the answer will be, Angeltay."
"That's true...I don't even think there's anything strange about this. Maybe everything I did seems to be so obvious that even you can easily detect the extent of the crisis."
"Let him go, my loyal warriors."
He didn't mind the offense in the other person's words, and even raised his hand to signal the original body guards to let go of Angeltai. At this time, Luojia was like an old father who had witnessed the growth of his children, and even his tone revealed that Somewhat relieved.
"...I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't mean to offend you, but we do need an answer."
“I don’t want our legion to continue to be full of suspicion and doubt, and I don’t want the sky of Colchis to be filled with dark clouds—no matter that the enemies we have to face next may be far beyond imagination. As people who embrace the truth, , we also have the courage to face the truth."
Angeltai, who was released, also solemnly expressed his apology to the father of genes, but his words were still sonorous and powerful, which made Luo Jia's eyes full of admiration.
As the leader of the Sawtooth Sun Chapter and the son of Colchis, Angeltai represents both the officer class and the soldier class at the moment. Although the interests of the two are not consistent most of the time, now the sky above Colchis Despite the gloomy current situation, the demands of the two were unexpectedly consistent. This is why Angeltai was able to appear here and ask those questions smoothly.
Obviously, the Word Bearers officers wanted to know what would happen next in Colchis, and the Word Bearers soldiers wanted to know where the rest of the war would go.
Will the sudden cooling of the relationship with the Dark Angel lead to the destruction of the Perfect City?
How should the iron men solve the almost endless weird situations next?
Their hearts were filled with endless doubts.
Angelte was their microphone.
Obviously, Luo Jia realized this. So much so that even Angeltai's radical words did not offend Luojia, and he was even a little relieved.
Because Angeltai's move reminded Luojia that since the Perfect City incident, he has neglected to communicate with his descendants, so that the 17th Legion, which was once united by faith, is now almost a mass. Sansha - With the examples of the first company commander and chief chaplain, no one knows whether their immediate boss will suddenly have any problems, so that various administrative orders within the legion need to be issued by higher-ranking officers. With perfect implementation, even after the Word Bearers' system was split from legions into chapters, the problem of this system being too bloated has not been improved.
Even Luojia himself subconsciously ignored this matter. It wasn't until Angeltai's advice arrived in front of him that he realized that his army had unknowingly turned into this miserable appearance—— Even a truth that should be hidden requires the direct appearance of the Primarch to fully answer, otherwise no one in this legion where everyone is in danger would dare to take the responsibility of spreading rumors.
Now it seems that he is not only an incompetent general, but even an incompetent father.
With a slight sigh, Luo Jia picked up the data pad at hand.
"...The answer?"
"I don't know if I can give you an answer that will satisfy you, but there's not much I can say."
After hearing Luojia's promise, Angeltai's eyes immediately brightened up.
In fact, in this environment where all the Word Bearers are confused, Angeltai himself is also so. As an Astartes who once participated in the destruction of the Perfect City, the confusion hidden in his heart is even more complex and complicated - for example, Angeltai was keenly aware during the battle that the Dark Angels' troops regarded death in every battle. There is even no enemy in sight worthy of the lives of these most elite troops in the galaxy.
So what are they looking for in death? Do they know that they will die soon? Or will Colchis be destroyed by a force falling from the sky?
In these days, all kinds of extreme conjectures continue to emerge in Angeltai's mind. Compared with the radical ideas of other battle brothers, Angeltai's thoughts can even be considered peaceful-as more and more people The more terrible rumors flooded the Legion but could not be suppressed, Angeltay realized that something was definitely wrong with their genetic father.
So, there was this remonstrance.
"...At first, I thought that this sudden event was like a sandstorm in Colchis. Any turbulent sandstorm would gradually subside over time. Until we walked out of the shelter, everything would return to calm, just like The countless days and nights we experienced in Colchis—that’s how it always has been, and that’s how it always will be.”
"And when an irresistible natural disaster strikes, fools always have luck in their hearts - hoping that this sudden disaster that does not belong to them will be eliminated in prayers. However, this punishment from the gods never belongs to a certain person, so it is also It’s called a [natural disaster].”
"I am just a fool who prays that disasters will disappear naturally."
Facing the unavoidable questions from his descendants, the saint who was no longer noble began to talk about everything he had experienced recently.
The warm promethium candlelight illuminated Luojia's rough skin covered with incantations, making his tired expression no longer as noble and holy as before, but some dark gold spiritual color also continued to flicker between the incantations.
"The existence of those iron men is like a sudden natural disaster. I don't know any better way to solve the sudden appearance of the giant mechanical tower and those never-ending offensives. At this moment, what I can do Only blind prayer - like you, like all of you, even like an incompetent mortal, Angeltay."
"They are indeed very weak, so weak that they are 'weird'. And this 'weirdness' definitely caused my brother to worry, and... he was not only worried about the things contained in that giant tower, but also the birth of Extreme ideas as you might imagine."
"I had no ability to stop him, and I had no reason to stop him. I only did everything I could - demobilizing civilians, reducing the garrison, and even contacting the Lord of the Twelfth Legion, although nothing could prove that she could To resolve these matters, I can only pray to her and the God-Emperor.”
"This is the truth you want, Angeltay."
"I don't know whether the destruction of the perfect city will befall Colchis. This time, I am not even qualified to take the initiative to take the whip of punishment."
"…Pray with me, Angeltay."
"Pray that destruction will not come to Colchis."
"Pray if the sons of the mountains know the truth about the Iron Man."
