Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 79 Conflict in Silence
Several human city-states mobilized urgently have washed away the religious color of the past, and replaced them with various war fortresses, armories, barracks, and headquarters. Chilling and cold industrial buildings are emerging from the desert city-states. Rising from the ground, the plight of the aborigines struggling in the past has been completely wiped away under the strong transformation of the No.17 Legion, and the Gothic wind from the human empire has left traces in this uncivilized ancient land.

Nowadays, most of the aborigines have joined the mortal auxiliaries of the No.17 Legion in the preaching of the Word Bearers missionaries-there are also thousands of Astartes recruits, only because of the mobilization The time was too tight, and most of the qualified ones hadn't even completed too many transformation operations. Although the No.12 Legion's Primarch had tried his best to assist the Word Bearers' pharmacist department, an Aspen Tate is by no means a product that can be mass-produced quickly through the assembly line like other industrial creations of the empire.

Strong fighting spirit, strong determination, and unyielding loyalty.These are the basic qualities that a qualified candidate for the Astartes should have. If we say that in the major hive worlds and fortress worlds, such excellent sources of soldiers are naturally countless, but for an ancient religious world like Colchis In other words, it’s a bit too much—the children who struggled to grow up in the desert didn’t even fully understand the existence of the Human Empire most of the time, and their knowledge of the Human Empire was limited to the knowledge of the Heavenly Empire. The legend of descending saint son Lorgar.

Therefore, although thousands of Colchis participated in the arming of the war fortress under the influence of those burly and tall Astartes missionaries every day, in fact, their understanding of the truth of the empire, and even the entire empire Little else is known, making recruits for the Astartes extremely rare.

And this situation is definitely a bad start for the difficulties and setbacks that Colchis will face next.

And the worse situation does not only exist on Colchis—in the flight path of this planet within a few light-years, an even more indescribable tense confrontation is happening.

The Expeditionary Fleet of the First Legion that came across the star sea remained silent, as if waiting for something.

Even the communication initiated by the Word Bearers fleet above the orbit, they did not reply. They just launched a formation to encircle and suppress Colchis like a herd of beasts waiting to hunt, as if they were guarding against something that would escape.

Mysterious and powerful, these are the pronouns of dark angels.Even after the tragic but rarely recorded Randan War, these dark and burly warriors also enjoy a high reputation in the human empire-the strongest legion ever, the emperor's angel of death, these titles all symbolize Their appearance will symbolize something.

Even for the Word Bearers fleet in space who don't know the current situation, most of them have begun to feel a little uneasy.

Ever since it was discovered that the large space-time stagnation position was lifted, the No.17 Legion has been implemented extremely strict secrecy measures-about the enemy and the specific situation to be faced next, I am afraid that only the two Primarchs know .

Therefore, in the eyes of most Astartes of the Word Bearers, Colchis is currently undergoing a large-scale war mobilization, just like the Primarchs of other legions will be mobilized on the home planet. After carrying out a large-scale split and reorganization, it is natural to need to supplement the source of troops for the mother regiment.

It's just that, in fact, the Word Bearers will recruit soldiers from the worlds they have conquered—the return to their home planet has a strange religious color similar to a "sacred land pilgrimage".

Of course, some time ago, they themselves had destroyed a 'holy place' with their own hands.

The arrival of the Dark Angels made these Word Bearers even more worried: first, their Primarchs were monitored by the Primarchs of the No.12 Legion, and after returning to their home planet, they were surrounded and suppressed by the Dark Angels' fleet Besieged by the formation, and even unable to communicate with the First Army, anyone would think of the 'rebellion' storm some time ago.

Even Lorgar, who knew the truth, was worried—after all, he who knew the truth was obviously more worried about the potential conflict between the Dark Angels and the Word Bearers than the many Word Bearers warriors who were still in the dark. The angels bombed Colchis without any communication, so the two legions may have a blood feud for no reason.

Fate is always so ill-fated, and fate is always so bad. In the combination of many coincidences and emergencies, as long as you are a little careless, you will fall into a vortex of contradictions that will never be restored.

It can be said that if the Dark Angels hadn't received the astronomical communication from Elaine, then the many destructive weapons they were about to use would never show mercy.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the tense atmosphere began to spread up and down the legion.

The weapon power readings from the Dark Angel fleet are not false, and the truth that has been concealed for a long time cannot deceive those extraordinary angels of death-this is the home planet of the Word Bearers, not a frontline battlefield full of wars, and the Word Bearers and the Dark Angels The relationship between angels is also very ordinary, and there is no need for such a large-scale fleet to carry out 'diplomacy'.

Although the commanding officers at all levels in the legion did not respond, the quietly opened void shield also symbolized a little uneasiness in their hearts: the uneasiness of a possible confrontation with the First Legion.

The two armies remained silent like the dead space, and both sides were waiting for some 'unwanted sights'.

Until the blinding fire of a craft from the Dark Angels breaking through the atmosphere broke the deadlock.

The rain of fire did not fall, the destruction and conflict did not come.

In Lorgar's growing uneasiness, Colchis did not end up with the same fate as the perfect city.

The pitch-black Stormbird, which still had a fiery temperature, landed on the tarmac of the City of Gray Flowers under the nervous eyes of many Astartes warriors, and the exquisite glyph symbolizing the First Legion also rose with fiery air.

This former holy city has now been transformed into an industrial forest made of steel, and the tenacious rose flowers can no longer be seen in the outskirts of the city full of poisonous gas and radiation, just like no matter how determined the soul is, it is difficult to suffer. .

In the sight of Elaine and Lorgar, several Astartes in pitch-black power armor slowly walked out of it, as simple and rigorous as the knights of ancient Terra surrounded by nobles, and like a group of lions waiting for the lion king .

And their leader, of course, is the Lion of Caliban—Lian El'Jonson.
