Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 121 Confused Luo Jia

"..."

"I still don't agree with your behavior, Ryan."

Faced with Ryan's words that seemed to be advice and threats, Luo Jia was silent for a moment.

Before, he didn't know much about the frosty Lord of the First Legion, but he had also heard about the great achievements of the Dark Angels in the Great Crusade, and the two Primarchs who were equally famous were even more famous. ——Horus Luperkar of the Luna Wolves and Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands, they and Llane El'Jonson from the Dark Angels are known as the sharpest in the Great Crusade. The trident is also an existence that most of the primarchs admire from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, Luojia feels extremely strange to this brother whom he once admired - even though Ryan does have extremely glorious military exploits, if those glorious achievements were obtained in this way, then Luo Jia only felt cold all over and sweating on her back.Because if this is the case, then the lion knight from Caliban in front of him is a being who absolutely cannot be trusted. Any army fighting alongside him must always be wary of sudden betrayals from him, no matter what. Comrades who share weal and woe may be easily abandoned because of his extreme ideas.

Even his descendants can be put in danger in this situation where the reality of the enemy has not yet been ascertained. So what about other existences that are even more insignificant to Ryan?If he really persists in his beliefs until the end, will Terra and Terra also be regarded by Ryan as a [chip] that can be sacrificed and exchanged at some point?

At this moment, Luo Jia's heart had become a mess.

He did vaguely feel that something was wrong. Whether it was the extremely weird mechanical tower on the surface of Colchis or the Iron Man army that was as weak as a rudimentary civilization, there was a strong aura of weirdness in everything.Just after experiencing the destruction of the Perfect City, Luojia began to have an inexplicable palpitation in his heart towards weapons such as cyclone torpedoes. Although the enlightenment from Elaine made him regain his former enthusiasm when he joined the Great Expedition. Passion, but when facing this kind of unavoidable destruction again, the string called reason in Luo Jia's heart immediately broke.

To be honest, from a completely objective and rational perspective, Luojia can somewhat understand Ryan's behavior. After all, if this planet is not his home planet and there are not many troops stationed on the surface, he has not even raised the issue. There are so many opinions from Ryan - when facing an unimaginable danger, Luojia is not so disgusted with this kind of behavior of reluctantly sacrificing friendly troops.

If it were Horus who loved his subordinates so much, he would probably do the same.After all, when each Primarch assumes the responsibility of being the leader of the legion, he must bear all responsibilities in the face of war. Although he has not experienced too many wars, Luojia believes that he has this level of overall view. There are still some.

only…

Looking at Ryan's almost questioning look, Luo Jia gritted his teeth.

He couldn't sacrifice any more.

Nowadays, Colchis is the only pillar of support in Luojia's heart.Since the Perfect City was destroyed by legion traitors, Luojia has lost almost everything - whether it is everything he has given for the Great Crusade or his deep yearning for his father's divinity, he has lost everything in Perfect City. All disappeared in the burning of the city. Even though Elaine pointed out the way for the future, the emperor's disappointed look was still Luojia's most unforgettable memory. In every sleepless night, Luojia had He had imagined what terrible words his god-like father would say to him.

So he couldn't wait to split up the legion to show loyalty. Even if Elaine assumed the responsibility of monitoring him, Luojia still regarded her as a sister who talked about everything - he was really too afraid of that kind of future. All the piety and faith that I had in the first half of my life were refuted by irresistible words overnight, and I received my unimportant glory at the triumphal ceremony in a daze. Walking among the stars, searching for the meaning of the rest of life...

He used to feel fanatical about the religious kingdom that Elaine described for him, and he would also fall into confusion late at night thinking about the God-Emperor's cold attitude towards him.There is no doubt that Luojia does not have all kinds of talents and traits like his other brothers, and his efficiency and achievements in the Great Crusade are not outstanding, so that the perfect city he devoted his efforts to build is facing his father. During that ruthless destruction, he didn't have any courage to refute the other party.What's more, Erebus and Kor Phaeron have been proven to be complete heretics and traitors - they do not trust the Emperor and the Human Empire, let alone faith, which is quite terrifying among the Word Bearers who advocate faith. of.If the beliefs of the chief chaplain and chief company commander are no longer pious, then what else can the No. 17 Legion have to praise?

The coat called faith has been completely burned in the Perfect City, and the No. 17 Legion has been dismantled and disintegrated under his own orders. Just wanting to wash away this sudden sin has already made Luojia feel heavy enough. , and the delusion of returning to the glory of the Great Crusade is even more out of reach.

Even when recalling the emperor's indifferent gaze, Luojia would feel a little confused about the fanatical belief that he was once proud of.

Occasionally, Luojia's not proud heart would think that he might be the most mediocre among the Primarchs, because he really didn't know what qualities he had among the many Primarch brothers.

Even though he has returned to the empire for so long, this bruised saint is still a weak child in his heart who is afraid of scolding and whipping.

Facing the determination in Ryan's pupils, Luo Jia's vision became more and more erratic and painful.

As if he was born with unimaginable sins, which must be redeemed with pain and sacrifice.

It's not that Luo Jia cannot fully understand Ryan's completely unreasonable [rationality], but it's just that the overly rough decision-making is a bit difficult for even him with excellent tolerance to accept.

After all, no one can guarantee that as long as the cyclone torpedo is projected, those strange iron men will be destroyed and the towering tower will collapse instantly.

Luo Jia could not place her trust in a vague possibility.

At least, not now.
