Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 61
Lorgar looked at the burning planet in front of him with complicated emotions.

The crustal structure is constantly melting like heated syrup, and the surface of the planet has become a dead world wrapped in magma. The dazzling and gentle sunlight of the past can no longer penetrate the increasingly thick and highly toxic atmosphere. Even the mighty force of nature In response to this complete destruction, the volcanoes erupted wildly one after another, and the death fire cloud swept over every plate and city, and even evaporated the ocean.

This is the power of the whirlwind torpedo.

It is enough to burn the entire world into a terrifying power that cannot survive for thousands of years.

In the human empire, only those heinous alien worlds are worthy of the expedition fleet dropping this weapon, which also symbolizes the human empire's determination to deal with such enemies.

Now, this weapon was thrown to Perfect City by Lorgar himself.

There were still two tear stains on his face, as if the scriptures engraved on his skin were distorted by his grief, and even the tall figure of the Primarch seemed extremely stooped at this moment.

Undoubtedly, the Perfect City was Lorgar's brainchild, and no one would not feel sad when they saw their own brainstorm being destroyed.

Even if the person who destroyed this hard work with his own hands is himself.

"You didn't have to."

A cold female voice came from behind Lorgar, and with the muffled sound of the gate opening, a scarlet stalwart figure emerged from the shadows.

Seeing the sad look on Lorgar's face, Elaine said slowly.

"Since you killed your adoptive father with your own hands, your loyalty has been beyond doubt."

But Lorgar shook his head bitterly.

He recognized this sister, and when his father judged him indifferently, her figure was already beside him.

"I have to, my sister."

"After you executed Erebus and I executed Kor Phaeron...the former glory of the No.17 Legion no longer exists."

Lorgar murmured softly as he looked at the world of death that had lost its former glory.

"And the City of Perfection...is the glory of the Word Bearers."

Although Lorgar didn't show any regretful emotions, the sadness revealed in the words can prove everything.

At this moment, everything dissipated with the destruction of the perfect city.

Even his father sent a Primarch to monitor any actions of the No.17 Legion.

Under Lorgar's complicated eyes, Elaine slowly opened the original "Holy Words" on the table.

"One city, two men, they can't drag an army full of glory into the abyss, my brother."

Her voice was slightly lamenting, as if pitying Lorgar.

"Our father is not good at words, maybe you don't know his characteristics."

"The crime of the No.17 Legion is indeed very heavy, but my father did not reveal the reason for this crime."

"As a matter of fact, his wrath against you does not lie with those two insignificant mortal traitors."

Under Lorgar's surprised eyes, the Red Sand Lord told the truth that he never knew.

"efficiency."

"Our Father, Lord of Men, condemned the No. 17 Legion for the efficiency of the Word Bearers in the Great Crusade."

"In this expedition of mankind to conquer the stars again, only efficiency is the most critical thing."

"Some insignificant dirty insects, those are not within his consideration."

Her gauntlet lightly brushed over the ancient book that had accompanied Lorgar for decades, and a little golden light faintly appeared in the gap of the gauntlet.

Lorgar was very confused by Elaine's words.

"I shaped the most loyal group of worlds in the empire, and he has always known..."

"Even so, the Word Bearers' contribution to the rebuilding of those lost kingdoms is indispensable. We have spared no effort in propagating the truth of the empire, and we have strangled all heresies with the most resolute attitude..."

"I... don't quite understand it."

In fact, Lorgar did not understand this sudden destruction at all from the very beginning. A loyal priest like Erebus and a learned foster father like Kor Phaeron, Lorgar entrusted his endless trust to him from the very beginning. They joined hands in the Great Crusade to forge an incomparably brilliant cause.

Lorgar never questioned the emperor's personal ruling—but the doubt that Lorgar was deceived by the two of them always lingered in Lorgar's heart. He didn't understand why the two people he trusted the most would It's dirty heretics.

And after the omnipotent God-Emperor revealed the true identities of the two traitors, Lorgar could only sacrifice everything to the gods with guilt.

The perfect city is his determination.

Although the price of this determination is his hard work.

"—so, just because the Traitor is at the top of the Word Bearers, you think this is a test of the Word Bearers' loyalty?"

"...poof."

Elaine chuckled.

"No one will doubt the achievements of the Word Bearers, my brother—your legion is very large, but compared to other legions, your speed of conquering the world is not ideal."

"Yes, you have indeed shaped countless happy garden worlds, perhaps only the Ultramarines can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."

"However, there are countless human worlds suffering throughout the galaxy...The Emperor's goal is to free them all."

"He saw that the Word Bearers put their energy into some things that should be done by mortals like tax collectors and planetary governors, and there are some...'religions' that don't suit his heart, and even spend a lot of energy To fashion a perfect city would defeat the purpose of creating the Legion Astartes with his own hands."

"The Word Bearers should have done better than be dragged down by trivial matters."

"Then, his intention was not to punish, but to beat."

Obviously, this brother still can't figure it out, the appearance of the two rotten people, Erebus and Kor Phaeron, is only because of his connivance with religion, and the lord of humanity has almost let go of the management of each legion .

It can be seen from the Iron Warriors being smashed by Perturabo eleven.

In fact, the Emperor simply did not have the leisure to meddle in the trivialities of each Legion.

"But…"

Facing Elaine's explanation, although Lorgar could understand it, it was still a bit difficult to accept as if it was stuck in his throat.

After all, my decades of painstaking efforts were destroyed in His anger, and even the original intention of this hard work was to put faith in Him.

He seemed to want to say something, but suddenly remembered that the sister in front of him was sent by the emperor to monitor him, so he closed his mouth with a complicated expression.

Seeing Lorgar's complex expression, Elaine took a deep breath, and continued to explain the emperor's thoughts to Lorgar with sincere eyes.

"Trust me, my brother."

"In the eyes of my father, religion is always just a tool of domination. He will acquiesce at the right time, and stifle it at the inappropriate time. For this, my home planet, Nuceria, Brother Sanguinius His home planet Baal...these religious traces in the world have been acquiesced by him."

"I feel sorry for the destruction of the perfect city, but in the face of the situation where the entire galaxy needs to be liberated, this statue erected for my father...is undoubtedly discrediting his existence."

"We don't have to speculate too much about his will, we just need to follow his will."

"And I was ordered by my father to 'monitor' the Word Bearers, only to monitor the progress of your work in the Great Crusade."

"Presumably he also believes that as long as you are still alive - then the No.17 Legion will never rebel."

"He has always believed in the Word Bearers' loyalty to the Empire, and he has always believed in your role in the No.17 Legion—from beginning to end, there is no doubt."

"The fact that he sent me to spy on you, not the Leman Russ brother I have never met, is enough to prove all this."

Lorgar was slightly taken aback, and even the endless confusion in his mind suddenly cleared up at this moment.

"I see…"

Lorgar murmured, he never thought that his father's punishment would have such a meaning, and it was because his knowledge as His missionary was not enough.

Yes, it must be that the Word Bearers' belief in the God-Emperor is not devout enough, which leads to the possibility of traitors appearing inside.

As a missionary who spread reason and the glory of the God Emperor to the entire galaxy, Lorgar now fully understood why his father wanted to flog himself and the Legion. It was not because of insufficient loyalty in this great pilgrimage, but because of what Elaine called efficiency.

Before becoming a powerful missionary to the God-Emperor, each Legion Astartes was an unrivaled blade in his hands.

During the Great Crusade, the lost human world was re-illuminated by the glory of the God-Emperor at every moment. Although in order to take care of the mortals, the God-Emperor chose the term "Imperial Truth" which is easy to be understood by ordinary people, but the God-Emperor His love and devotion to human beings is by no means false, and he will never question the loyalty of his people—so, compared to the countless loyal human worlds he has created, God-Emperor pays more attention to bringing all the people in the galaxy together. All peoples are liberated from darkness.

Now Lorgar finally fully understood why there was pity and coldness in his father's eyes at the same time, why his existence was so majestic and sacred, and why he gave himself the order to destroy the perfect city.

Her destruction was not due to the breeding of traitors from the very beginning. The appearance of those two traitors may have been accidental, but the God Emperor would definitely not show his anger because of such a small existence, but because of his own understanding of the God Emperor Too one-sided, too much focus on superficial beliefs, instead of truly practicing the great expedition that is not understood by most people from the bottom of my heart.

Obviously, there is absolutely no doubt that he values ​​human beings, even above his son—and this will become a strong basis for his divinity.

In this way, everything makes sense.

"I see... My sister, I am very grateful for your enlightenment, which made me realize that my mistake is so unforgivable."

"From now on, I will face your surveillance with the most rigorous attitude, and I will transform my legion with the most loyal attitude... and I will also abandon my wrong obsessions and ideas."

"The Word Bearers will dedicate an unquestionable loyalty to the Empire. No one will ever find any sparks of rebellion, and no one will ever question our achievements and beliefs."

"The brilliance of our faith will accompany the future of the empire, forever and ever."

The confusion in Lorgar's pupils had completely disappeared, and he thanked the sister excitedly.

At this moment, no words can compare to the gratitude in his heart.

He finally realized how ridiculous his superficial belief was.With heavy burdens on his shoulders, he actually created such a wrong existence as the perfect city with his own hands.

——It's really...unforgivable.

Seeing Lorgar's sudden awakening, Elaine nodded in satisfaction.

"I don't see this position as 'oversight,' my brother, if you can figure it all out—then it's more powerful than any apology."

"I've always believed that the Word Bearers can get better."

Elaine said sincerely.

Sure enough, the best way to convince the god stick is to use his belief to convince him is the best way.

Although the emperor may not be too happy.

However, as for the behavior of that inarticulate father in the original worldline... don't mention it.

Leaving that irrelevant thoughts behind, Elaine picked up the heavy "Holy Words" in front of her, and gently chanted the prayers written by Lorgar herself:

"Each of us is His most important knife."

"Each of us is His most merciful lamb."

"His existence is extremely cold, but it is as dazzling as a golden sun."

"He walks among the stars, resisting the endless darkness with will and action"

With the sound of Elaine's chanting, some pale golden light gradually lingered in the room, accompanied by some hot red sand, and the bright red satin wrapped around her golden armor was windless and automatic.

Lorgar's pupils constricted suddenly.

"He is the lord of mankind, he is the eternal emperor of the Holy Empire, and his golden throne burns with eternal light—"

"Praise the Emperor, praise humanity."

Under Lorgar's astonished eyes, Elaine slowly took off the luxurious arm armor on her right arm, revealing the extremely dazzling psychic arm inside.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the source of this miracle.

Lorgar could even feel the real blazing sensation from Elaine's gilt pupils—as if, there was a blazing flame burning in them forever.

"Lorgar, my brother."

The Lord of Red Sand spoke slowly, his ethereal and cold voice seemed to be accompanied by the church organ playing, it was extremely sacred.

"Everyone has a lot of different opinions about our dad..."

"Some say he is a god, others say he is a tyrant, and some think his existence is unquestionable..."

"None of this matters."

"The important thing...is not whether he is a god or not, or his attitude towards everything."

"It's about his ambition to save all human beings."

Elaine handed out that cold right hand to Lorgar.

"Would you like to know more about it?"
