Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 149 The Crisis that Ends Completely

In just a few days, all the iron men on Colchis stopped moving, and even the giant tower like the Tower of Babel quietly disappeared, and its strange quality disappeared overnight, never to be seen again. There were no mechanical zombies pouring out from inside the giant mechanical tower. The artillery array that was as noisy as the front line also stopped in the face of this strange situation, as if nothing had ever happened.

Correspondingly, the good news brought to the Word Bearers by the Primarch from the No. 12 Legion.

——The Iron Man ruins on this planet have been completely destroyed by her, and the Iron Man problem has been permanently solved.

Although there are still many Word Bearers recruits who are not familiar with Elaine and have some doubts about this strange original body, there is no need for them to question a tactical team that bravely rushed into the giant tower and returned safely, and this team There was even a Primarch Guard led by the Primarch himself.

At any time, facts are always greater than conjecture.

The result is that the strange giant tower has now completely disappeared, and the strange but endless tide of iron corpses has stopped forever.

Whether it is the previous Word Bearers or the earlier Dark Angels, they have tried to send out tactical teams to try to explore the internal situation, but they have only come to nothing.

After all, for the human empire, decapitation operations have always been a tried-and-tested solution - whether it is as small as a heretic invasion or as large as the end of a huge battle, through a precise, powerful, scalpel-sharp force, A sharp tactical team is the best choice for decapitation tactics.

Many times, the safe return of teams that perform special operations is proof of success.

Of course, these are just results from an outsider's perspective.

Of course, the Word Bearers on Colchis did not know that the essence of this strange sky-reaching tower was actually a physical projection from the subspace, and it was even less likely that they knew that the Iron Man who brought these strange technologies from the dark technological age to the world was still alive. Still alive and even trying to join the human empire.

In their opinion, it was Elaine and his team who succeeded in destroying the core of this mechanical tower and completely quelling the many turmoils surrounding the Iron Man incident.

After learning the news, the Dark Angels who had stayed in Colchis immediately began to evacuate and returned to the Great Crusade.

Although the news has not been completely confirmed, the facts are already in front of us. For these silent warriors, the specific details no longer need to be discussed - that is something that only their Primarchs need to think about.

Thus, the mysterious First Legion once again put on their veil and returned to the magnificent battlefield among the stars.

The Word Bearers are more in a state of confusion. First, the rebellion of the Chief Priest and the First Captain of the Perfect City, then the order to split the legion issued by the Primarch, and finally Colchis. The many incidents and disturbances that have occurred, including but not limited to the threat of the First Legion and the inaction of the Primarch, these successive trivial matters have gradually made these Astartes who were originally dedicated to preaching their faith gradually confused.

Although Angeltai took over the leadership of the entire parent regiment at the most critical moment, preventing the entire No. 17 Legion from falling into despair, this disaster, which was almost a matter of life and death for the Word Bearers, was The fact that they ended up with another legion still made these soldiers feel a little confused.

After all, during the Perfect City incident, the Word Bearers had already been reprimanded by the Emperor for the efficiency of the Great Crusade, and reprimanded Lorgar for giving [true] loyalty to Terra instead of a city built on laziness. gorgeous garden.In the subsequent Colchis incident, the sudden crisis of Iron Man's awakening, the loss of contact with the outside world, and the threat of destruction from the Dark Angels all left the Legion in an embarrassing situation filled with anger but unable to do anything.

From the perspective of these Word Bearers warriors, things have been developing in strange directions since the beginning.

However, this is not their fault.

Among all the Astartes legions, the Word Bearers are a legion whose original body returned relatively late, so they have not experienced too many, too cruel disputes and wars. For most of the time, their The conquests are just to civilize the lost worlds that have not yet completely emerged from the old night. Although the Astartes' genetic modification and self-discipline practice still allow these death angels to remain efficient and dangerous, compared with what other legions face, In crises and wars, the Word Bearers have always been slightly inferior.

Compared with the experienced Dark Angels and the tough Iron Warriors, the Word Bearers need to go through several major changes from brutal wars before they can reach the point of reaching those legions.

This time, it was one of the few times the Word Bearers had faced a crisis that almost completely shattered the Legion's structure.

The collapse of the Legion hierarchy, the crisis of the home planet, and the indifference of the Primarch.

In these events, large and small, from the perspective of the Word Bearers, it seems that they did many things wrong, and many things they did not do wrong.

For example, when Erebus and Kor Phaeron planned a rebellion, all the Word Bearers and even Lorgar were particularly shocked by the news, which could even be called difficult to understand.

But they couldn't deny that the Word Bearers had a huge legion, but their progress in the Great Crusade had always been far lower than that of the Ultramarines of similar size.

Another example is the emergence of the dangerous Iron Man in Colchis. Every citizen of the empire knows that hateful intelligence has caused indelible damage to the human race, whether it is the Star-eating Iron Plague, or the subspace and the real universe. The dual-latitude strike technology is a terrifying thing that the current human empire cannot fight against.

But the place where Iron Man awakened happened to be in Colchis, the home planet of the No. 17 Legion. No warrior of the Word Bearers, including Lorgar, could claim that they could cut off their wrists for the sudden crisis, so much so that they even A high degree of hostility towards those of the First Legion who attempt to overstep their bounds.

From the beginning to the end, No. 17 Legion was like a challenger who was just entering the ring, being knocked unconscious by the opponent's heavy punches one after another, so that until the end, he could not see clearly who the opponent was.

However, the subspace storm shrouding the Colchis star field has quietly dissipated. It seems that no one except the three Primarchs knows the secret promoters of this incident, and it seems that it is still a threat to the current situation. A time for young Word Bearers to prepare.
