"How the Legion fell."
"The Emperor sent the Space Wolves, and the Primarch was willing to behead him in order to preserve the Legion's fire."
Soshyan's gauntlet clenched instantly.
"No...resistance?"
"have."
"So the Legion was merged into the Imperial Fists?"
"Only part of it..."
At this point, Said's originally mechanical accent suddenly gained a touch of emotion, a touch of sadness.
"Most of the warriors could not accept the death of the Gene Father, nor could they accept the shame of the legion being wiped out. They took most of the warships and tried to escape from their home planet and went to a safe place to rebuild the organization. However, they were attacked by War Dogs and Shadows along the way. Yue Cang Lang's ambush was completely wiped out."
"So you accept the shame."
"Because I realize the responsibility I have."
Brother Said was not angry at Soshyan's words.
"After I woke up, I realized that the current status quo of the Empire could not be maintained forever. The Primarch's plan was very suitable for the current Empire. The undead army must be rebuilt, and the Dark Guard must enter the Webway to liberate the Emperor from the Golden Throne. "
"Freed?"
"Yes, as long as he does not continue to waste his power on suppressing the entrance to the Webway, I believe that the Emperor will one day stand up with his own strength and lead the empire again. Only in this way can we restore everything we have lost, the statue of the original body Only then can we return to the Terra Palace."
"And we will take his place and guard the entrance to the Webway forever."
"Of course."
Soshiyang let out a long breath and walked back and forth for more than ten steps in the secret room, seeming to be thinking about something.
After that, he raised his head and said:
"Brother Said, when did you start planning this?"
"Since I woke up."
"Are these things only known to past chapter leaders?"
"Yes, every generation of Chapter Masters will learn the truth here, except for Amurad's predecessor, who was an unqualified guy."
Soshiyan also knew about the previous Chapter Master, so he did not continue this topic, which was indeed a shame for the entire Chapter.
"You said that I am the only one who has successfully transformed gray marrow. Doesn't that mean that this technology is very complicated and difficult? What effect can such low efficiency have?"
"That's not the case. The first transplantation of gray marrow is indeed extremely difficult, because the original solution is directly prepared by the original body. We cannot fully understand its mechanism. The only thing I know is that as long as the transplantation is successful, the gray marrow will It has extremely high adaptability, and the success rate of transplantation is greatly improved... What is transplanted into you is the last bit of original liquid we have on hand. If it fails, the Anni Guard will disappear forever, but thanks to the Emperor's blessing, you succeed. ”
"In other words, my gray marrow can be transplanted into other warriors."
"Of course."
"So what exactly is the Red Amulet, and why did Chapter Captain Amurad use such an almost suicidal method to seize this thing?"
"Because it is a key key. This thing is only possible in the advanced tomb world of the Necron. Only through it can you rebuild the lost legion."
"Why?"
Brother Seid raised his hand, and a handheld stereoscopic projector appeared in his palm, and then he activated the device.
Green light began to flicker, dancing on Soshyan's ceramite armor and gradually revealing images.
This is a battleship.
Even if it is just a shimmering three-dimensional image, its magnificence is enough to take your breath away. This is an extremely huge battleship. Words cannot describe its magnificence. Wrapping its huge fortress-like bridge and bow are A large number of obelisks and arches in a weird style
The architecture seemed familiar to Soshyan.
It seems... the world engine also has this style.
"In the era of the Great Crusade, only a dozen similar battleships were built. They were gifts from the Emperor and served as flagships in the Space Marine Legion. You should have heard their name - Queen of Glory."
"Is this the flagship of the Eleventh Legion?"
"Asveta, the ship of the original body, the pride of the Legion, is also the only Imperial warship that can sail in the subspace and does not require Geller's position."
"Is it... related to the Necrons?"
"Of course, the original body often said that we should work together and learn from everyone's strengths. Even the enemy can learn something."
Brother Said admitted this very frankly.
Although he had roughly guessed it, Soshiyang felt really mixed emotions when he thought that his original body actually had a deal with the Necron, and even the gray marrow transplanted into his body might be related to those dirty soulless machines.
Everything sounded so ironic, and he couldn't help but think of the more than seven hundred battle brothers who died on the World Engine.
"To rebuild the Legion, we must find the Asveta, and the key to activating the battleship is the original body's weapon, Burning Sky. There is a red talisman on Burning Sky, which has been destroyed by Leman Russ, so We must find a new red talisman to activate the battleship.”
"Where is that weapon now?"
"The Burning Sky was taken away by Horus. It was he who argued with Dorn and Guilliman after the war to keep the legion's fire. That weapon may have been kept in Ullanor, because Horus was there Before his fall, he was a very emotional primarch. He probably placed Fentian in the most glorious position. There are rumors that when he was appointed Warmaster, he secretly built a tomb in Ullanor. No one knew what was inside. Buried something, maybe-"
"Ulano..."
Soshyan was no stranger to this name. It was there that the Emperor defeated the most powerful Ork Empire in the galaxy at the time and eliminated the unknown Ork tyrant.
However, this planet has disappeared from the official records of the Empire since the Battle of Beasts in M32.
"Ulanor seems to have ceased to exist."
"It's still out there, it's just hidden away and we need to find it."
Brother Said's tone became very strong.
"Find Fentian, and then find the Asweta, whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, this is our mission!"
"What's up there that's worthy of our search?"
"When the legion brothers evacuated the home planet, they moved most of the legion's gene seeds to the flagship. The number may exceed 10,000! If it is found, then the revival of the legion will be a matter of course."
"How did you make sure it wasn't destroyed?"
Fearless and quiet, he stood in front of Soshyan. Although he was separated by a thick iron coffin, Soshyan could feel a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Because... I am the first company commander of the Undead Army and the initiator of this operation. My injuries were caused in that war. I witnessed it jumping into the subspace with my own eyes."
Soshiyang was speechless. He suddenly realized that his previous words had hurt Said.
The ancient warrior in front of me has never accepted that shame...
"sorry, I……"
"There is no need to apologize. You have a heavy responsibility now, Soshyan Alexey. Although we have made great progress, the war group has also reached the edge of destruction. We must first restore a certain amount of strength before we can possibly find Asvita.”
"I still don't understand, if it's just for the Red Talisman, everyone must be sacrificed."
"because--"
Brother Said's joints began to move with creaking sounds, then he leaned down and said:
"Soshyan, have you heard of the Steel Cage?"
Iron Cage, as a sub-group of the Imperial Fists, Soshiyan had no reason not to know about this very famous event.
Regarding the explanation of this incident, there are records in the archives of the Astral Knights that are completely different from those of the outside world. At that time, most people in the Imperial Fists opposed the Holy Code and even resisted with force. Everything Dorn did was for To enable the Legion to accept the Codex Astartes,
For this reason, Dorn would rather——
"this……"
Surrounded by the dark truth, Soshyan subconsciously took a step back. He felt that the world he was once familiar with was being torn apart bit by bit.
But Brother Said did not intend to give him any buffering time. He took a step forward and said:
"As a pure legion blood group, we must disappear from under the eyes of the High Lord of Terra. I believe that now that we have been removed from the active war group, it will be very convenient to do anything in the future."
Soshiyang felt a little shuddering. After tens of thousands of years of persistence, he was not sure whether Brother Said's mental state was still normal.
At least for now, it doesn't seem like the problem is big.
"But now there are only thirty-three recruits left in the battle group. What should we do next?"
No matter what happens in the future, the immediate difficulty is the most immediate, but after Soshyan finished speaking, Brother Said just stood quietly, like a statue.
"Brother Said? Brother Said?"
Soshyan called several times but received no response. He carefully reached out and knocked on the front armor of the Dreadnought, but there was no response.
"It can't be that...he's asleep."
