"Hello, it is a great pleasure, Chapter Master Soshyan Alexei."
Nigel, the Chapter Master of the Devotee Chapter, has short, lean blond hair and one eye has been replaced with a prosthetic eye. His temperament is very similar to that of the Dark Angel, with the nobility of a knight and a strange sense of mystery.
If Azriel hadn't told him, he would have thought he was the captain of some secret company of the Dark Angels.
"Hello, Chapter Master Nichel."
Azrael then led Soshyan to another warrior wearing a dark green Terminator. On his shoulders was a symbol of a white lion holding a sword, and he was also covered with a white burqa, including The soldiers behind him were also wearing robes and hoods, looking extremely mysterious, much like a large group of interrogating priests.
"This is Chapter Master Jigme Moni of the Disciples of Caliban."
The establishment of the Disciples of Caliban is shrouded in mystery and controversy. At some point in M37, the incoming Grand Master Anazir (a name that is easily confused with Azrael) requested the establishment of the High Lords Council of Terra. A new subgroup.
At that time, such an unreasonable request from the leader of a founding group was unheard of. After all, each starting group was actually not well-off at this time, and the gene seed supplement itself was not completely sufficient, making it difficult to establish new ones. Sub-group.
But the request was eventually granted, and the Disciples of Caliban were founded.
This war group has been extremely mysterious from the beginning. Soshyan only knew that there was such a person, but knew nothing about their specific situation. Moreover, their color scheme and style were almost exactly the same as those of the Dark Angels. If you don’t look at it, The logos are completely indistinguishable from the two Chapters, which is hard not to associate with each other.
In fact, Soshyan also thought that perhaps the former First Legion had never been dispersed. If it had not devoted a lot of energy and troops to hunting down the fallen angels, the First Legion should have created more value.
In a sense, the First Legion has been trapped in a civil war that has lasted for ten thousand years and has no idea when it will end.
After introducing the important characters, Azrael personally led Soshyan to the bridge of the Unyielding Truth.
The red carpet beneath his feet concealed the heavily armed footsteps of the Space Marines. When Soshyan came to a magnificent hall, he first saw the banners embroidered by the slaves of the Scroll hanging above his head. The compilers recorded the lives of the Dark Angels. Many battle honors from the founding of the Legion era to the present day, countless black cloth banners, bordered with red and white threads, hung on the huge domes and walls, listing tens of thousands of planets, space stations, asteroids, moons and space The names of the hulks, where the First Legion had won victories in the past, some of them multiple times, were barely legible in the darkness.
There are many altars in the hall, and Soshyan's eyes passed over the ancient objects placed on the cloth. This is the place where the First Legion displays their ancient history and glory.
One of them was a metal chalice that looked unremarkable, and according to Azrael it was the chalice the Primarch had used on his last night on Caliban.
Another one is an ordinary piece of metal fragment. It is said that this object was the first sword used by the primarch after he came to Caliban and became a knight. It was broken into several pieces when he killed a giant beast. This is a fragment recovered after the war.
There is also the first dress worn by the original body when he became a Knight Commander, the metal saddle derived from the ancient Knights of Caliban, etc.——
There is also a pale skull of a huge beast hanging on the wall. It is said to be the skeleton of the alien beast that died at the hands of the former Legion Champion Coswein.
Ancient history, a legacy more important than some sacred ornaments, Soshyan understood why the First Legion treasured so many fragments from the distant past. These relics represented something that had a profound impact on the First Legion. events, and these events in turn set off a series of subsequent changes that spanned the entire era from the founding of the First Legion to its schism.
After passing through this ancient hall, Soshyan entered the bridge of the Indomitable Truth.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge throne. It is so huge that even Soshyan is wearing a Terminator seat and looks spacious. The whole throne is made of ivory and obsidian, and it is carved with many forests and knights. It looks very gorgeous.
Obviously, this throne only belongs to one person.
Soshyan looked at a huge hanging painting behind the throne, which should have been hung up by the Dark Angels after the original body left.
The picture shows a bust of a proud and mysterious man. His mane-like gray-blond hair is tightly tied into a ponytail. A simple silver ring is set on his broad forehead. Below is a pale face. His face seemed to be permanently shrouded in the shadow of the dense forest, never seeing the sun all day long.
The man's eyes were as green as a lush forest, and his cheeks were thin and slender. The thick sable cloak slipped from his shoulders, with white mink as an embellishment. The bottom was dyed silver curls, and the pure black armor was covered with It was glossy and engraved with various complex and gorgeous crests of roaring lions. Just like his eyes, they were cold and deep, as if he were a lion looking at his own kingdom.
Without Azriel's introduction, Soshyan could guess that this was the original body of the First Legion, Leon Jonson. (Hey, I don’t want to see the mouth and teeth of an old man with a white beard!!!)
For some reason, this original body gave Soshyan the feeling that even if it was just a simple portrait, it exuded a dark, gloomy sense of majesty, with the pride and pride of a true king.
Probably after the upheaval on Caliban, the loyal Dark Angels drew what they believed to be the most authentic Primarch and placed it here for all future generations to admire.
As Soshyan looked at the portrait of the Primarch, the other Dark Angels and the warriors of those sub-chapters also performed an ancient Caliban knightly etiquette to the portrait.
Soshiyang looked away, but his thoughts drifted to another place.
The Dark Angels announced that the original body was dead, but did they mean that the original body's remains were stored in the Stone Fortress?
If that was the case, he would still like to pay his respects in person if he had the chance. After all, it seemed that the First Legion had some connections with the Eleventh Legion back then.
But Soshyan is always a little unsure. Is the original body really dying so easily?
He now regrets that he was unconscious when he met Chagatai Khan, otherwise he would have been able to ask a lot of questions.
Although they arrived at the bridge, things couldn't be discussed here. After chatting with everyone for a while, Soshyan and Azrael, as well as the senior leaders of the Dark Angel inner circle, and the two chapter leaders entered a nearby strategy room.
This room is not big, but it is even a little dark. There are no chairs, only a round, unactivated imaging device in the middle, as if everything is shrouded in darkness and secrets.
Soshyan thought that maybe he was the first outsider to participate in the internal meeting of the Dark Angel.
This experience cannot be said to be good, but it is indeed quite fresh.
