Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 153 The Returned Son of the Mountains

After dealing with the iron man's problem and saying goodbye to the re-energized Lorgar, Elaine took her warriors and quickly started the return journey to Nuceria.

She and the Silent One talked a lot during their voyage through the warp.

Among them were questions that she wanted to ask as a [player], and questions that she wanted to ask as a Primarch.

"I'm still very curious as to what the Abomination Intelligence's judgment of the concept of [human beings] depends on."

Looking at the holographic projection of Iron Man in front of her, Elaine asked curiously.

"Genes, self-awareness, or subspace projection."

"The treaty remains in force, that's all."

The silent man nodded humbly.

Obviously, he has learned what [polite] is.

Although Elaine still maintains an attitude of suspicion and observation towards the Iron Man, the undeniable fact is that the cooperation between them is progressing extremely smoothly.

During this period, Elaine handed over many plans for the reconstruction of the mother planet to the other party for processing, and this iron man with a lot of ancient knowledge reserves gave many suggestions and related technological content that were far ahead of the times.

To be honest, this even reminded Elaine of the feeling she had when getting along with the Lord of Humanity, because before she took over the Twelfth Legion, the Lord of Humanity had directly taught her many things - many of which even had a long history. An ancient mystery that even Nuceria cannot touch.

Of course, Elaine was not surprised, because that was the emperor of mankind, and she would not be surprised by what kind of knowledge the other party possessed.

This was one of the reasons why she directly led the Twelfth Legion to join the Great Crusade not long after being taught by Horus.

Now, after being exposed to more secrets about the dark technological age, combined with the many technologies previously reverse-engineered from the iron man's corpse, Elaine can't wait to revive his legion, and once again Back to the Great Crusade.

[Plural Life Womb], [Soul Energy Collection Project], [Conscious Body Activation Technique]...

Although there are many terrifying technologies that can almost be called heresy, in today's Great Crusade, the human empire is far from as decadent and stubborn as later generations.

And apart from the direct intervention from the Lord of Mankind, Elaine has almost unshakable control over the Twelfth Legion - especially after gaining the Emperor's trust, she has no worries at all.

So, after Elaine's ship returned to Nuceria...

A massive military reorganization began.

……

M30 999. After decades of recuperation, the Twelfth Legion [Children of the Mountains] returned to the Great Crusade. In just a few standard Terran months, they conquered all of the Maelstrom Starfield, making The Imperium of Man truly gained control of the heart of the galaxy.

During this period, the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs was surprised to find that the Sons of the Mountains, who had been sparsely manned after the war, quickly returned to a huge scale. The Maelstrom star field where the subspace pollution had faded was filled with countless small alien empires, which were like a torrent of steel. They were completely wiped out in front of such a majestic military force.

Although most of the worlds it conquered could never resume production due to strange reasons, they continued to transport sufficient sources of troops to their home planet Nuceria - whether it was Astartes or It is a mortal auxiliary army, all sent out with the same efficiency as those industrial products in the forging world.

Among the warrior associations of the major legions, there are secret rumors that the soldiers of the Twelfth Legion are dull living corpses. What's even more frightening is that many Thousand Sons warriors used psychic powers. I used magic to peek into the faces of these warriors under their helmets, and found that many of them had faces that looked like corpses.

Of course, this kind of abuse of psychic spells is often looked down upon by other legions, but it has to be said that there are indeed many things worthy of suspicion about the Twelfth Legion.

These Astartes often regard death as nothing in battle, no matter what the scale of the battle is. If you look at their pupils at this time, you will find that the seriousness of these warriors is full of a kind of Hysterical madness.

And... after a great war, the pharmacists wearing red armor of the Twelfth Legion would not take out the gene seeds from the corpses of their battle brothers like the pharmacists of other legions, but would instead take the genes of these warriors. The corpses were brought back to the ship - even if the corpses were long dead or even torn apart, the pharmacists were still working tirelessly to collect the corpses of their comrades.

Although all the major legions are already very familiar with the excellent medical skills of the Twelfth Legion, many Astartes except the Iron Hands will choose to go to the world where the Twelfth Legion is stationed to heal certain irreversible physical injuries. , but even so, they would not think that those sophisticated red-armored pharmacists could resurrect the dead.

After all...that's a bit too appalling.

And, although the worlds under the command of the Twelfth Legion are not very wealthy for some reasons, and there are not even any agricultural worlds to pay taxes, but whenever a war to conquer the alien empire begins, its huge fleet The war resources in it are even comparable to those of the extreme warriors who rule five hundred worlds.

There are rumors that this is a curse placed on them by the subspace life that has been defeated by the truth of the empire after they experienced the confrontation with the false gods, making every inch of the land where their troops marched become withered and barren.

There are also rumors claiming that the vast majority of the taxes paid to the Empire by the worlds under the command of the Twelfth Legion are from the population, and the proportion of the mortal auxiliary army is even comparable to the tithe tax paid to Holy Terra in the entire Maelstrom Sector. .

There are many different opinions about the Twelfth Legion, but after coming into contact with some particularly critical matters, they suddenly disappeared in silence - no one knows who brought the silence, just like no one knows Where did these rumors come from?

In general, the Twelfth Legion has now reappeared in the Empire's military conquest of the galaxy.

Moreover, no one will anymore question the enthusiasm of this legion that inherited the name of the War Dogs for the Great Crusade - the dissipated maelstrom in the center of the galaxy is the best proof of their journey.

The Children of the Mountains announced their return to the galaxy with the flames of war that ignited many worlds.
