Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 130 Conflict
As the navigator expected, under Elaine's instructions, the ship charged into the warp storm in front of them without any worries.

To be honest, traveling through subspace storms is not a big problem at all for Elaine.

Apart from her outrageous experiences of physically resisting subspace storms, the Twelve Legions already had mature countermeasures against subspace storms when they rushed from the Maelstrom into the realm of Khorne.

After activating the anti-psionic stance on the ship and successfully breaking through the subspace storm, they successfully returned to the real universe from the Mandeville Point in the Colchis Galaxy.

And when they slowly entered the orbit of the star port of Colchis, they were shocked and dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

In the open space above the planet, two fleets of the Astartes Legion are confronting each other. The high-energy signals of the light spears and macrocannons are continuously fed back to the auspicious array, as if if there is a slight change on the other side, they will be there. A war broke out in this peaceful galaxy - even the sons of the mountains who had just arrived in Colchis were shocked by this strange situation.

It looks like a grim situation where conflict is about to break out.

"What...what happened?"

Looking at this strange scene in front of him, the navigator who had not yet had time to express his emotions about his survival from the subspace storm murmured.

In the command room, Elaine also had a headache at the strange sight in front of her.

She clearly remembered that the Chaos problem should have been dealt with before she left.

So if the Dark Angels want to take action against the Word Bearers, the only problem left should be Iron Man.

"…Mother?"

Even Kahn, who has experienced many battles, was confused by this situation for a moment.

"The Dark Angels and the Word Bearers...are they preparing to go to war?"

"...I think it might just be a misunderstanding."

Facing Kahn's question, Elaine shook her head slightly. She did not think that the two Astartes legions would start a war at this point.

Although Jonson's extremeness and ruthlessness are obvious to all, the warriors of the Dark Angel will never completely obey his crazy ideas.

Before the Great Crusade was over and the Iron Men were in crisis, they chose to go into full-scale war with another Astartes legion. This was a military order that no Astartes in the Empire would completely obey.

Although each Legionnaires Astartes was almost unconditionally obedient to the orders of their Primarch, rebelling against the Imperium?I'm afraid no one would think of such a thing.

Even the not-too-distant Great Rebellion was started by the Imperial Warmaster personally in the name of 'the Astartes will be liquidated like the Thunder Warriors', with nearly half of the Primarchs endorsing it, and even in It was successfully opened under the influence of the power of chaos.

Despite this, there were still tens of thousands of loyal warriors in the major rebel legions who were initially unwilling to rebel against the Human Empire, and even died fighting on Istvan III for this reason.

It can be seen that even the Astartes will not completely obey the orders of their genetic father on some important issues.

If Jonson insists on making an enemy of the Word Bearers, then his Primarch guards should be able to stop the lion from his crazy thoughts in time.Although Elaine still doesn't know what's going on internally within the Dark Angels, judging from the fact that Caliban will be torn apart due to civil war in the future, the internals of this strongest army may not be as perfect as they appear on the surface. Flawless.

At the very least, Luther, who would become the leader of the fallen angels in the future, should have returned to Caliban under Jonson's arrangement and devoted himself to the logistics work.

However, the resentment in his heart that longs to participate in the battle, and the anger at being treated like this by his adopted son, may not completely subside.

After all...the sudden change in the relationship from a father to a subordinate, and even the relationship between father and son, is not an easy topic.

Feeling slightly aggrieved by what happened to Luther, Elaine's thoughts slowly pulled away from the forbidden knowledge and returned to the situation in front of her.

Now, what appeared before her eyes was a legion war scene that was about to break out with just a few sparks.

If any cruiser's light lance or macrogun 'accidentally' fires, then the two legions will face not only the accusation of "infighting", but also the consequences of the Emperor's accusations. Their doubts, and compared to the Word Bearers with a smaller fleet, the charges and doubts the Dark Angels have to bear may be heavier.

After all, although the Great Crusade has entered its final stage, it is not completely over yet.Even after the victory of Ullanor in the future, the Great Crusade will continue under the command of the Imperial Warmaster. Until the power of chaos fully erodes the real universe, the expansion of human territory in the galaxy can be regarded as temporary. At the end, the scope of the expedition was limited to the limit of the star torch's illumination.

After the rebellion subsided, the weak and crumbling human empire no longer had the energy to launch another great expedition.

With Elaine's efforts, she believed that she should have temporarily eliminated the many windows through which Chaos invaded reality - the maelstrom and the hand of fate. If there were not too many surprises, the time of the rebellion might have been set backwards. After all, a cosmic-level bad guy like Erebus only happens once in a lifetime.

Of course, Elaine doesn't think that the Chaos Gods don't have more chess pieces that can be used to promote the outbreak of the great rebellion. Whether it is Fulgrim's stabbing sword or the Death Guard's Typhons, they all have the ability to The terrifying ability of an entire legion of Astartes to drag down the water, not to mention the 'extremely smart' Magnus. Just having met him once, Elaine knew that this man with a strong understanding of psychic powers Exploring the almost unrestrained Brotherhood, there are countless ways to fall into Tzeentch's web of conspiracy.

Even I may not be immune to Khorne's clutches in the future.

Although the No.12 Legion had escaped the fate of the World Eaters in that Chaos Crusade, the blessing from Khorne still passed through the curtain between reality and warp space, tightly entwining Elaine and her warriors. Anywhere they pass.

It can be said that the severed arm she left in the subspace may have turned into something similar to a contract, continuously tracing and spying on Elaine's traces and actions——

Elaine had a hunch that her decisive battle with the Blood God might not last until the distant No. 40 two thousand years.

As for before that…

She still had to handle a lot of things properly.

For example, adjust the relationship between the Dark Angels and the Word Bearers.
