Standard Terran Calendar, 41
Extreme Star Region, Great Whirlpool Zone, Yashan Star Region
In the vast universe, a large number of battleships are like fish gathering in the void, operating at low power under the light of distant stars.
Among them, the most conspicuous two dozen huge capital ships are hanging still, the searchlights on the bows flickering slightly in the void. Each capital ship is surrounded by a group of smaller ships: transport ships, frigates, Destroyers and supply ships, as well as unusually large transport ships, a Mechanicum design consisting of redundant carriers and supply facilities stacked on top of each other to form huge ships
Few fleets in the galaxy possess such a form, and only an Expeditionary Battle Group that turns its fury upon the enemies of the Emperor can muster such terrifying power.
But the logos and colors throughout the fleet are very different, including gray iron, dark green, yellow-black, gold-red, off-white, and the pure red of the Mechanicus, with their own logos.
Despite this, they are the most powerful killing weapons of mankind. Each ship is built to reflect the killing heart of their operator - all warships are ferocious spears, forged to be extremely sharp, made of Driven by roaring, endless flames.
The Eternal Loyalty is the core of the fleet. Although it is not the largest in terms of tonnage, its firepower is among the best. A large number of turrets and laser arrays are attached to the back of the crest, showing a jagged outline. She is surrounded by other small ships. , like clouds on the mountains.
This flagship has a huge circular bridge, with shiny granite pillars supporting a bronze and marble dome. Inside the circular walls, thousands of gray-uniformed crew members work silently at their posts.
Under a massive armored glass roof stood a broad stone, glittering with a series of holographic projections, kaleidoscopes of neon beams swirling and reflecting off countless screens and viewing lenses.
There are towering Terminators standing everywhere on the bridge. They are terrible gods of death and tough guards who only protect one person.
Soshyan Alexey, the supreme lord commander of the expeditionary force, stood silently in front of the display, his sharp eyes sometimes staring at the readings or lenses on the stone display, sometimes staring ahead.
The company commanders and commanding officers of the battle group stood in a loose circle around him. Through the huge observation window not far away, a vibrant world was slowly rotating, and its high orbit was surrounded by a A small satellite transformed into a military port.
Suddenly, the communications officer's voice sounded from the brass trumpet on the bridge.
"Lord Soshiyan, the White Scars Chapter Master Juba Khan invites you to meet at Quanzhou Palace!"
Yes, where they are now is the home planet of the White Scars, Chegoris.
As for why he appeared here, it was because Soshyan did not intend to go directly to the Maelstrom. On the one hand, he could easily be ambushed by the red pirates on the way. On the other hand, he also thought of Chogolis visiting the founding group here. Uzumaki's most recent founding group, the White Scars, must have a better understanding of the situation and information about the Red Pirates.
If possible, it would be best if the other party could join the expedition.
"Maximilian, one company will go down with me. The others will be on standby in the fleet and keep the fleet on alert to prevent the red pirates from raiding."
"yes."
Soon, a small transport ship broke away from the fleet and headed for the planet's surface.
After entering the atmosphere, Soshyan not only lamented that this was indeed a rich world as the rumors said.
As an Astartes home planet, the environment of Chegoris is very well maintained. Not only are the grass green and the mountains towering, but even the ocean is blue and pure.
The monastery of the White Scars Chapter is called Quanzhou Palace. It is located on the top of the inaccessible Kum Karta Mountains in the Chegoris Mountains. The mountains are surrounded by endless vast grasslands, and the grasslands can even be seen from high in the sky. Dotted with scattered tents and large herds of cattle and sheep, it seems that White Scar did not deliberately avoid mortals.
Soon, as the height of the transport ship dropped, a huge stone fortress appeared in Soshyan's sight.
The Quanzhou Palace was originally the location of the ruling palace of the original Chagatai Khan. After returning to the empire, it was transformed into a military fortress using a large amount of advanced technology. However, it seems that the Khan had other plans for his planet. In addition to the Quanzhou Palace , there are almost no traces of the empire's technology in this world, and it seems to have always remained in the state before returning to the empire.
Thinking of this, Soshyan couldn't help but think of what Veronica once said. It was Chagatai Khan who rescued him at the last moment of Comoros.
It is said that the warriors of the White Scars have been searching for their primarch, but should this be said?
But it seems that Veronica doesn’t know where Khan is specifically, she just knows that it’s somewhere similar to the soul realm, and if the other party gets to the bottom of this matter, he won’t be able to explain how he knows it and what the process was like. of.
"That's all. If you can't explain clearly, I won't say it for now, so as not to cause any misunderstanding."
Breaking his attention from his thoughts, before the transport ship landed, Soshyan saw that the gates of this great fortress were inlaid with the heads of countless enemies defeated by the White Scars Space Marines.
Like all fortress monasteries, this fortress has thick armor protection and void shields that can withstand any artillery siege. Its walls are covered with enough firepower to level a city. Its defense system includes a series of Yin Kalos-type laser cannon and a loud laser cannon known as the "Wrath of Khan".
The archives of the Quanzhou Palace are located on a lightning-struck spire, where the Chapter Think Tanks known as the Storm Prophets learn knowledge and record the deeds of their khans. The Storm Prophets are also responsible for managing the White Palace. The Astropaths of the Scar Chapter will command them to send astronomical messages into space.
At this time, all the defense systems of Quanzhou Palace have been closed, the gate has been opened, and the walls are covered with flags.
The roaring transport ship quickly came to a stop in the huge landing zone opened in front of the fortress. When the hatch opened, the tall terminator held the battle flag of the Astral Knights, the company flag of the first company and the eagle flag of the expeditionary force, stepping on the heavy Stepping out slowly, they walked in unison and were strong and determined, like a slow-moving steel wall.
And guarded by this impenetrable high wall is Soshiyang, who is wearing a suit of finely crafted armor. At this time, he is not wearing a helmet, and there is an iron halo behind his head. The eagle emblem on his chest is shining brightly, and it is covered with oath brands and scripture strips. , behind him is a burgundy cloak, and a golden ribbon hangs between the shoulder armor and the chest.
In front of the huge main entrance of Quanzhou Palace, one hundred veterans from the White Scar Company's "Spear Club" and their leader Subodeng Khan were already waiting there.
They were wearing the oldest armor, holding a flagpole in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
When Soshyan strode forward, they all drew out their scimitars and pointed them at a 45° angle to the sky, forming a blade corridor.
"Welcome, Commander-in-Chief Soshyan Alexey. On behalf of all the White Scars warriors, I would like to salute you and the expeditionary force."
Subodeng Khan greeted Soshyan with a smile. He had a standard Chegris appearance, with a face as steep as a mountain range, a knife-like forehead and sharp and narrow eagle eyes, showing the ability of a warrior, and those two slender pinches A long mustache and chin goatee are also characteristic of white scars. (Ahem, the British people generally portray Asians with this look, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to it)
"I've heard of you for a long time, Subodeng Khan. Compared to you, I'm just a junior."
After the two shook hands cordially, the soldiers of the White Scar Company shouted "Salute to the Expeditionary Force" three times before putting away their knives.
After that, Soshyan entered the ancient Quanzhou Palace under the guidance of Subodeng Khan.
