Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 127 Coswayne’s Responsibilities

Indomitable Truth.

Since Luojia left, the ship has returned to its usual silence and calmness. However, in their spare time, some Word Bearers soldiers who stayed on standby on the Unyielding Truth were still whispering and discussing the matter with each other. mutual understanding and opinions.Obviously, even if the conflict between the two legions did not break out on the spot, it still left some not-so-good effects.

The same goes for the Dark Angels.After the conflict ended, they were all more or less aware of the orders given by Zhuang Sen. Although the officers with high positions in the legion did not say much about the matter, some of the young Aspens Tate still had doubts in his mind. In the not-so-long service life of these Caliban boys, the muzzles of the bolt guns in their hands had never been raised towards any friendly force.

For those who had not participated in the brutal Battle of Randan, attacking friendly forces was incomprehensible - especially to impose an extermination order on a Primarch's home world was unheard of.

So much so that a young Paladin became seriously worried about this matter.

"You look doubtful, Coswayne."

The old voice interrupted Coswayne's thinking. He looked at the old warrior who had appeared at the door at an unknown time. Even though the latter was not wearing power armor, the thick Caliban robe could not hide the The solemn temperament of a superior person, and the burly figure that was not inferior to any young Astartes gave off a vague aura of danger.

"…Grandmaster."

The moment he saw the other party, Coswayen immediately knelt down and saluted, because the distinguished old man in front of him was the great mentor who had taught him, Arachos.

Arachos just waved his hand. As a knight who had experienced countless wars, he didn't care too much about the etiquette of Caliban.

"Stop the unnecessary red tape, Akau."

"You should be aware of the recent rumors within the legion, and you should also be aware of my Lord's decisive choice."

"You are doubting, young warrior. I see confusion in your eyes."

With that said, Arachos slowly sat down next to Coswayne. He studied the young knight's expression, as if he wanted to find something on it.

"Rumors and rumors have never been able to penetrate my Lord's will, Grand Master."

Facing this old knight who looked old but was actually extremely powerful, Coswayne always maintained respect.

It was not just because the other party was the great mentor who had taught him, but because Arachos had very ancient qualifications. As a servant of the Primarch, he had many secrets that ordinary Dark Angels did not know.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Arachos continued to ask slightly curiously:

"Since you and I both know that gossip has never been a problem in the Legion, then what are you still worried about? My child."

"..." Coswayen was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"I'm thinking...whether my lord's plan is worth the cost."

"Destroying the Word Bearers' homeworld will seriously deteriorate the relationship between the two legions. This will not help to obtain the truth about this Iron Man incident."

In these days, the scene of the confrontation with the Word Bearers' original bodyguards that day continued to appear in front of Coswayne's eyes. In the angry roar of the Lord of the No. 17 Legion, the young warrior once said The concept of perseverance is a little confusing - as a Dark Angel, Coswayne certainly understands that the reliability of the plan is beyond doubt. No one knows whether the fire of the second Iron Man Rebellion will be rekindled, and no one can bear the responsibility. What a terrible impact this dangerous existence would have if it were reintroduced to the galaxy.

If the guess of the Lord of the First Legion is correct, then what they have to face is an Iron Man civilization with unlimited potential. Although it is still in a new state and is unreasonably weak, there is only one in ten thousand chance. Reborn as the Iron Rebellion of yesteryear, even Coswayen felt it should be wiped out.

For any unimaginable potential threat, the First Legion has never hesitated to use the seal of the Extermination Order. Although trillions of lives will be buried under only a few inches of fire paint, it is better than letting it explode. An impact that resulted in the destruction of thousands of planets.

Ever since their Primarch took over the power of destruction entrusted to them by the Lord of Mankind, these once most elite warriors in the Great Crusade have been running on various journeys of destruction every day. Every Dark Angel The aliens they have killed with their own hands may not be as many as the humans they have indirectly killed. Every urgent journey of the Indomitable Truth to subspace symbolizes that a world that was once full of hope but hidden in danger will turn into a meaningless world. Scorched earth.

Corswayne has witnessed countless disasters and tragedies, so that this young Caliban warrior is already far more mature than the Astartes who were recruited into the army. Although his two active hearts were hailed by the Primarch as indispensable vitality to the Legion, like many veterans of the Dark Angels, his heart had begun to be occupied by an unspeakable numbness.

In particular, the dilemma they are facing now - if nothing unexpected happens, after a few standard Terran days, a primarch without any guilt and his home planet will be accompanied by the cruelty of the Lion. command and turned into meaningless interstellar dust.

Unlike the cruel Battle of Randan, and unlike all the unforgettable cruel actions of the First Legion, from now on, the Empire's No. 17 Legion will always remember the shame of the destruction of their home planet, and will The First Legion is viewed as a brutal executioner, and may even have sparked the spark of rebellion in this event.

The Astartes' unusually developed brain can deduce most of the events that may happen from now on in just a moment. Coswayen can imagine some Word Bearers because of just closing his eyes for a moment. The scene of betraying the empire due to this incident and constantly hunting down the Dark Angels lingered in my mind for a long time.

Arachos beside him was always looking at this young warrior who had won the respect of everyone in the legion but was now reserved and cautious.

In his eyes, the liveliness and sincerity that once belonged to Coswayne were gradually dissipating, and were gradually replaced by a familiar numbness.

Although it was expected, this was not good.

Arachos frowned slightly.

Because it's not Coswayne's job to be veterans like them who have long been numb to anything.

He must become a valet who can advise the lion.
