Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 32 A Sign of Chaos

The large-scale planetary air defense arrays are arranged like stars in each outpost world, and the dangers from the entire chaotic star area are also completely blocked outside the strong fortress built by the Iron Warriors. The subspace route of the world has also been re-opened, and each supply world scattered in the star area is also connected to each other, which symbolizes that the heavy work of the Fourth and No.12 Legions is gradually coming to an end.

Another piece of barren land was sown with the seeds of civilization, and the oppressed humans in the entire star area also returned to freedom under orderly regulation, and were liberated from the tyrant's rule under the will of the Lord of Humanity.

With the foundry world Salem at its core, it will also become the outpost of the human empire's expedition to the depths of the Maelstrom.

At the same time, the Primarch of the No.12 Legion also officially announced her ownership of the foundry world Salem as her logistics world during the Great Crusade. This placement.

Although the Mechanic Cult from Mars was slightly dissatisfied with this, after learning that the Mechanic Cult of the foundry world Salem swore loyalty to the Primarch, the voices of dissatisfaction circulating among the Tech Priests disappeared immediately Mostly.

Because in the unwritten rules of the human empire, any land that is personally reclaimed by the Gene Primarch, they are eligible to control and rule it-like the Ultramarines under Robert Guilliman, the No.13 Legion It is to use Guilliman's home planet Macragge as a base, while launching a great expedition to the east of the entire galaxy, and at the same time incorporate all the worlds he has recovered.

In the increasing progress of the Great Crusade, the worlds controlled by the Ultramarines have reached hundreds, and the forge worlds among them are countless.

Relying on the huge source of troops and the excellent rule of Primarch Guilliman, their actual strength has completely surpassed the Dark Angels who were severely injured in the Randan War. The benchmark of Legion Astartes perception.

Since there is such a precedent, the Mechanicus did not pursue too much Elaine's ownership of the foundry world Salem, but only appointed those Mechanicus expeditionary forces who traveled with the 13th Expeditionary Fleet to stay in the star area, and the Mechanicus Pagan sage Redjack exchanges ancient lore and precious STCs that have survived an entire age of strife.

When the scientific expedition team accompanied Redjak into the historic Mechanic Temple, the accompanying Astartes who performed monitoring duties immediately sent back an emergency notification of level one alert to the Resolute Resolve.

Something extraordinary has been discovered.

……

"Report: Unknown chaos appeared in the depths of the temple. Apothecary Aisha Franco of the 88th Company of the Sons of the Mountain issued a warning for help...In the warning, he claimed to have witnessed the presence of incomprehensible filth, and the accompanying Communications between the Iron Warriors' 786th Flying Squadron and its commander, Volker, have been lost."

Looking at the half-kneeling Astartes reporting in front of her, Elaine frowned slightly.

In addition to the extra troubles that Perturabo gave her, there was another urgent matter that took up her computing power.

Originally, she wanted to simply dispatch reinforcements as a trivial matter like a space pirate encountered in a hive world.

However, the source of information for help came from the Mechanical Temple in Salem, which was connected to the core of the planet.

Prior to this, she reviewed the entry permits of Redjac and the technical priests of the Mechanicus Expeditionary Force, and approved a group of Sons of the Mountain and Iron Warriors to accompany them—she seemed to be solemnly serious, but in fact she agreed casually. When Perturabo was "teaching" her, in order not to let the old-fashioned but delicate brother feel alienated from his sister, he deliberately added some positions to this task that did not require the Iron Warrior to appear.

Originally, this was a smart move to get a little respite under Perturabo's 'intimate teaching'.

And now, news of the Astartes pleading for help added fuel to her busy schedule.

If Perturabo hadn't been dealing with Olympia's logistics world's opening up of the subspace route to the Golgotan star sector at this time, perhaps there would be another item on her task list to appease her brother.

Obviously, this is not good news.

Elaine knew that there were chess pieces from the Chaos Gods on this planet, which was one of the reasons why she claimed ownership.

She thought that Redjac would not touch it, but... the unpredictable fate never easily let go of the chess pieces that broke free from its shackles.

Because of Redjac's loyalty to herself, Elaine actually didn't care about the thousands of years of strife era heritage in Salem. She didn't want to explore the preciousness that this loyal ally gave up his life to protect. Treasure—not to mention, according to her knowledge of curses: in the development process in another timeline, it will be the first dark forge world dedicated to Warmaster Horus.

Because in the core of the planet in the foundry world Salem, there is a demon named 'Salem' Khorne parasitic.

Born from a weapon forged by man when he first wanted to take another life, this bloodthirsty demon, made stronger by man's fear of weapons, was imprisoned at some unknown point in time. Forging the core of the world, until the progress of the great rebellion became more and more prosperous, and the Lord of Steel also came to this planet to find Angron, who had become increasingly mad, and released the Khorne demon again——

Some vaguely familiar stings kept coming from Elaine's mind, which meant that another son of the mountains had fallen into an irreversible abyss.

Unspeakable feelings resurfaced in her heart again.

…Yes, fate has never spared itself—no matter which fork she takes, there is a possibility of encountering it.

"Go and notify the Primarch Guard."

She sighed softly.

"Mother…"

"Go—notify the Primarch Guard."

The Astartes seemed to be aware of Elaine's sigh, and seemed to want to say something, but his throat was blocked by the indifferent order.

He had never seen the Mother of Genes show such an expression.

In the past impressions, their mothers often showed a gentle atmosphere.

Now...but it looks like a beast that devours people.

……

The sound of the gate opening and closing brought Elaine's thoughts back from endless thoughts.

The Primarch cast his eyes on the chain saw ax called 'Blood Son', and his complicated thoughts had already overwhelmed the burst of grief.

She could feel the madness and anger felt by the heir who fell into the abyss, and she could also feel the sadness and despair that had been experienced countless times.

Elaine has thought about the meaning of this gift from her father: perhaps it is a reward for the warriors who have escaped the tragic fate, or it may be the sympathy of the Lord of Humanity facing the tragic fate.

During that short but long time together, the father and daughter had countless discussions about the turbulent future, and even many details that could have been avoided... the corruption experienced by the Shepherd God, the redemption of the Phoenix and the Iron Hand, Weather-beaten steel... there are many more regrets that can be changed.

Elaine even exhausted the huge computing power stored in Superman's brain during the fierce debate, and prepared endless plans for her brothers in crisis for her father's reference.

Just to completely resolve those potential crises before they appear.

However, the Lord of Humanity just sighed.

It seems that in the face of the endless destiny that needs to be changed, the divine power and talent of the Primarch are just tiny pebbles thrown into the lake-after a few ripples in the sea of ​​souls in the highest sky, they disappear again in an instant.

Whenever the daughter's pointed question referred to the inevitable rebellion, the Lord of Men simply repeated the crucial words:
[The Great Expedition. 】

That is a very meaningful word for the race of 'humanity', and it is a word that symbolizes that the countless aliens among the stars are in urgent need of extinction.

It's the inescapable vocabulary of dreams about the Emperor of Man.

In fact, this seemingly indifferent and impersonal father did not reject his daughter's proposal.

On the contrary, he very much agrees with Elaine's courage to face her doomed fate.

Therefore, the lord of mankind found the pair of twin axes that symbolize Angron, and they are also the two most important things for Elaine-blood son (children) and blood father (emperor).

They will serve as secrets between the two, and also as proof of the father-daughter vow.

Elaine closed her eyes tightly, stroking the slowly turning sharp teeth of the chain saw axe.

"I'm going to make a change...Father."

She murmured.
