"...The leader of Soshiyang Chapter is really cunning. Although he will take out those templates, he will hold on to the assigned power. STC is certainly the treasure of the God of All Machines, but there is no difference between treasures and treasures. There are still differences in value, and who can get the highest value all depends on the Chapter Master."
"Great Sage, this is the first time I have seen a Space Marine who is so good at trading. Didn't the Seal Master issue a decree during the Great Crusade prohibiting the Astartes from engaging in any commercial activities."
"This is also the first time I have seen an Astartes like this, but what's the use of saying this."
"Then he will ask for a lot of money?"
Deejay Katona shook his head.
"No, because he has already announced the plan."
"What?"
"Draw lots, whoever draws the prize gets it."
"Also...it's really unique, but really fair."
"That's why he is said to be cunning. Logically speaking, it is the fairest way, but who knows if he will do anything? Drawing lots is not a flawless plan. If he colludes with someone, it is easy for the other party to draw the most valuable template."
"A chain of suspicion trick. He's also a psychologist."
"Although we know this is a trick, we still have to follow him. After all, the opponent is now the stronger side, and there are only fourteen templates that will be drawn. The extra template was given to the opponent on the pretext of the Blood Knight's efforts. , Humph! It’s just a hypocritical statement, just to swallow one more template.”
"So the equipment we produce this time will be a gift?"
"Not entirely. The plasma weapons of the Astral Knights are very important. We can't lose them after losing the Mechanical Ark. These equipment are the price."
"I understand. A total of two hundred sets of Mark 7 power armor and the accompanying weapons and ammunition will be delivered in 32 hours."
"Good job, old man."
After finishing his visit on the foundry ship, Deejay Katona went to the Eternal Loyalty again to meet Soshiyan without stopping.
But at this time, Soshyan was meeting with another mysterious guest. He was also a representative of the forging world, but he was introduced by Talos.
This "man" calls himself Lucky Bangura. His thin body is wrapped in a red robe with sable fur trim. His skin is sallow and looks very unhealthy. His eyes are black pools full of evil, as if he is trying to spread out to the surroundings all the time. Something lowly malevolent.
Just looking at the appearance, it is almost impossible to imagine that this is a senior Mechanicus believer. Soshyan guessed that this may not be the other party's real body but a flesh puppet.
And his only entourage was a slender woman, wrapped in a tights made of shiny synthetic materials. Every movement of her body rippled on her skin like blood, and her slender legs The legs are multi-jointed, connected by metal prosthetics above the ankles, and underneath the metal legs you can see that her feet are no longer feet but a series of complex magnetic thrusters.
Compared to most of the Mechanicum's creations, she is both beautiful and deadly, a form that has been rigorously polished to perfection.
As for her appearance, it is hidden by a mask in the shape of a grinning crimson skull, with a shining metal horn protruding from the chin.
For some reason, Soshyan felt that the mask did not simulate the appearance of a human being, but more like some kind of near-human alien.
As for the forces represented by the two of them, to be honest, if it weren't for Talos' guarantee, Soshyan would really not want to meet them.
Rakhi Bangura comes from a mysterious forge world called Ulan Huda.
If we look at it carefully, it should be a heretical forging world.
Ulan Huda was originally just a small forge world. The colonization team from Mars was trapped in a remote star field and isolated from the world. This star field was later called the Ghoul Star Field by Imperial explorers.
There, the colonists of the Adeptus Mechanicus were cut off from all assistance and surrounded by countless dirty alien enemies.
In the almost doomsday time, the great sages of the forge world only saw one way to survive, and that was to become more terrifying than those terrible enemies.
Due to the most urgent needs, the ancestors of Ulan Huda rebuilt their home using technologies considered absolutely taboo by Mars, creating a set of mysterious engines deep in the core of the planet, allowing the entire planet to break through real space. , entering subspace and being able to quickly move from one galaxy to another.
With the help of this ability, Ulan Huda not only escaped the danger of being besieged from all sides, but also turned it into a natural disaster, bringing disaster to the weak.
It and the inhabitants above began to embark on a more convenient path of development, that is, absorbing other worlds.
Ulan Huda will completely drain the defeated worlds, use huge machinery to collapse the continents of other planets into debris and mud, and transform the residents on them into servitors and meditator cores, whether they are human or alien. technology were absorbed into Ulan Huda, until the entire planet was transformed into something that bore no resemblance to anything known to humans.
However, according to the laws of the Empire and the Mechanicus, such treacherous heretics will surely face disaster and will be punished immediately once discovered. However, the environment in which Ulan Huda was located saved it in the early days of the Great Crusade.
The Ghoul Star Territory is considered a wild and dangerous territory throughout the galaxy. All kinds of terrifying aliens and strange lost civilizations plunder and conquer each other here, and even dare to raid the Salamas Star Territory to challenge the defense of the Night Watch. strength.
The Eighth Legion, responsible for the expansion in this direction, even believed that the value of this area to the Empire was negligible, and subsequently stopped investing the resources of the Great Crusade in conquering the barren world outside these ravines, but occasionally launched punitive expeditions to the void beyond. .
Therefore, until the beginning of M31, this area was still as chaotic as before, and its secrets were not revealed until the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.
It was not until the eve of the Salamas Crusade that the Eighth Legion's expeditionary fleet finally came into contact with Ulan Huda, but the Night Lords concealed the existence of the planet and avoided the Empire's investigation.
In return, the Eighth Legion received forbidden gifts, including strange technology and grotesque slaves, as well as the heretical Titan Legion - the Phantom Legion, also known as the "Void Ghost".
In the final years of the Salamas Crusade, this alliance was publicly revealed, and the Night Lords released Ulan Huda within the Empire in an attempt to reverse the declining tide of the war with a wave of heresy.
But this did not save the defeat. After being bombarded by the Dark Angel's fleet, Ulan Huda completely disappeared from the battle records, but no loyalist report mentioned its final destruction.
In fact, numerous reports during the Great Purge suggested that a grotesque and monstrous fortress had been sighted at the farthest borders of the Empire, only to disappear again when subsequent troops came to investigate, leaving only the The crumbling ruins of a border post.
