How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 38: An Interpersonal Communication Balance Beam Master

All in all, the two sides eventually came to an agreement at the cost of some blood caused by Konrad Curze.It is a pity that the initiator of all this did not receive any substantial punishment, but considering that he is a Primarch after all, this fact is not intolerable.

What Ranmarok meant was that it was, after all, a Primarch, a son of the Emperor, an unprecedented masterpiece of bio-alchemy, a demigod who in every way was far beyond mortals or Astartes to walk the earth. .Apart from the Emperor, of course there is only one other Primarch that can truly punish a Primarch.Although the Astartes are enough to be called superhuman compared to mortals, they are also very limited in what they can do when facing the original body.

Seeing that the Lion's Mane would not suffer any real loss of personnel, Lanmarlock was willing to be more lenient.In fact, what he knew but was unwilling to admit was that even if Konrad Curze really killed all the Dark Angels who were in the teleportation room except him in a single encounter, he would still be able to continue the journey for the sake of the entire ship. To survive and continue to fight for the First Primarch, the Emperor and the Imperium, rather than having his mission meaninglessly ended due to inexplicable events, he had to show a similar magnanimity:
That was Conrad Coates.He could easily break through any blockade, leave the teleportation room, and then spend his time killing the entire ship slowly and without anyone noticing - if he wanted to put this idea into practice.

Most members of the Fire Wings are Terran, but Lanmarok comes from the forests of Caliban.His qualifications were pitifully short compared to others, and it was not easy to be promoted to the position of Grand Master in this wing.If we just talk about force, he is not strong among his peers.He is more adept at formulating careful plans and then raiding, assassinating, or destroying the enemy's will to fight through various violent or non-violent means - which is why he was designated as Lion's Mane in this mission to escort the Night Lords. The person in charge of the number.

But he didn't become the Fire Wing Grand Instructor because he was particularly outstanding in this aspect.What he relies on most in his position is his ability to assess situations and make the right judgment at the right time based on knowledge and experience.This ability allowed him to always survive, and the team he led always survived, even if he felt ashamed of the decision he made and was criticized by his subordinates for it.

This earned Ranmallock some admiration and more scorn within the Legion, but he didn't care.Because he firmly believes that if you want to prove your loyalty, or be driven by loyalty to do more, you must stay alive first.

Once again he used his abilities for this purpose, making appropriate but against his will decisions.Fortunately or unfortunately, although he knew that no loyalist on the entire ship wanted to work with the betrayer Konrad Curze or his group of cowardly brats crawling out of the gutter, at least this time, those who opposed It's not very loud.

——Because Fujimaru Ritsuka is indeed a negotiator.

After a brief conversation with Konrad Curze on the communication channel, she immediately appeared on the Lion's Mane via subspace teleportation, accompanied by a Yago Sevi fully armed with Terminator armor. Talion.

Ranmarok didn't know how she did it, but she did "fix" his twisted helmet and bleeding head and face in an instant through some magical means.She then advised Lanmallock to call the apothecary immediately to save his fellows who had to lie on the ground and suffer.Ranmallock didn't really want to follow the advice of a girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and knew how to do witchcraft, but if Konrad Coze decided not to cause further damage, this would indeed be the moment. What he should do most.

He did so with some secret dissatisfaction, and, temporarily suppressing the apothecary's doubts, in a short time ensured that all injured brothers were properly treated.Then, the prelude to a negotiation began in silence, and Lan Malok quickly realized that this young girl who was so young that it seemed unreliable did seem to occupy a dominant position on the opposite side:

Although Yago Savitarion would say something back, he did not refute her decision in a real sense, and Konrad Curze...at least he never did after Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived. There has been a big wave.

The sight of a mortal man commanding the Astartes and even the Primarch seemed too unrealistic.But after reviewing the review, Lan Malok also admitted that this little girl did have this strength:
While the apothecary was cleaning the battlefield, the Midnight Ghost had been hissing disapprovingly in Nostramo in the corner of the teleportation room.These hisses did not develop into a second, more tragic conflict in the following events, mainly due to Fujimaru Ritsuka's very clever way of both affirming and opposing the decision made by Kurtz. Processing:
She strategically agreed with Konrad Curze's idea of ​​​​taking the entire Lion's Mane together with the Dark Angels on it. Tactically she strongly opposed the opponent's behavior of extending lightning claws whenever they disagreed, and emphasized fear. It's not a serious art of governance, and it makes fun of Coze's poor popularity because of it.

As a mortal, it was surprising that she dared to speak like this to a Primarch face to face.But what shocked Ranmarok to the point of feeling a bit unreal was that Conrad Coates was not angry because of this - of course there was irritability and dissatisfaction, but Midnight Ghost showed great restraint in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.He just said angrily that you can say whatever you want, and then retreated into the shadows of the room, seemingly determined to see how Fujimaru Ritsuka would operate.

——If anyone dared to speak to the First Primarch like this, Ranmalok thought that the next thing he should do was call the cleaning servitor to clean the room.In comparison, he didn't think Conrad Coates would be very kind in this regard.

This sight seemed to not only shock Lanmarok, but also their fugitive Yago Savitarion, who was obviously shocked and confused by this that even the Terminator armor could not stop.This confusing yet similar emotion even allowed the two people to resonate with each other a little bit for a moment, although then they took it upon themselves to cut off this connection in disgust.

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka never mentioned the recruitment, but gave up the negotiation table to Savita: he was allowed to speak to the Dark Angel Commander as a prisoner representative, but he was only allowed to use his words but not his hands.

Lan Mallock thought it was ridiculous. When did prisoners have the right to speak?But before he could protest, Savita was already enthusiastically performing a set of verbal kickboxing techniques on him.This made Lanmarlock realize for the first time that there were such a large number of swear words in Low Gothic. The poet-like metaphorical power of the Nostramo people could only be used to derogate others.

As the commander of this battle, he really should think calmly, rationally and prudently, but unfortunately, he really can't do it under this situation.Ranmarok refuted all the above remarks with anger, doing his best to emphasize the legitimacy of his actions and the shame of the Night Lords as traitors. The great rebellion that occurred 1 years ago is already a legend shrouded in the mists of history to the current empire, but to the two people who are currently quarreling with each other, it is still as clear as if it happened yesterday.This war of words therefore contains a lot of relevant content as arguments.They trace the topic of living conditions on board the ship back to the battles of the Salamas expedition, attacking each other's legions' characteristics, personnel, culture and even tactics.

The one who was more at ease was obviously Sevatar, and Lanmarok, who was so angry that even Caliban slang leaked out of Low Gothic, waved the power sword in his hand several times threateningly.If no one was watching, this would probably have to involve blood in a matter of minutes.It was Fujimaru Ritsuka on the side who used the Emperor's spiritual power borrowed from the Aquila Scepter to suppress every sign that would escalate the situation into a full-scale martial arts, which made this free fight remain just words.

However, the scolding war only lasted 23 minutes and could not go on.Not because both parties involved had emptied their inventories in this time, but because the mutual insults were deflected in a dangerous direction: the original body of the Legion.Sevatar might not have any concerns about this, but not Ranmarok - who knew if he said any more, a claw would fly out of the darkness and pluck his head off his neck.

At this stage, which was probably defined as halftime, Fujimaru Ritsuka stretched out his hand and shouted stop.She first spoke and expressed the hope that both of them could regain some rationality after venting their emotions and view each other from a more objective perspective, and then discussed the arguments of both sides (it was really hard for her to be able to defend herself during an emotional scolding battle). Both sides extracted their arguments respectively) to express her understanding. Emotionally, she understood that after this battle, there was only undying hatred between the two sides. However, 1 years had passed, and now that the entire empire was in turmoil, she did not expect the two to The remnants of this legion here can turn hostility into friendship in an instant. I just hope that the two can at least keep the two of them on their own terms.

This is something anyone would say in a scene, but it is also setting the stage for both parties.Probably because it was really satisfying to scold him, Savita went down the steps very happily.Although Ran Malok was reluctant, considering the current overall situation, he had to follow Fujimaru Ritsuka's words and escape.

Then he realized that this scene was mainly for Sevita.Because after both sides retreated, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally put the chips she prepared for the Dark Angel on the table, and Lan Malok couldn't refuse at all:
What she can give is what the Lion's Mane needs most at the moment: a compilation and identity certificate that can be used in the present day, as well as a historical record of what happened to the empire during these 1 years.

These things they desperately needed even made it tolerable to release their own prisoners and join forces with them.
-
War Apostle Mathieu woke up in his room in a cold sweat.

He had a nightmare.There was no doubt that he woke up from this nightmare.He did not want to delve into whether the occurrence of this nightmare was affected by the Macragge's Glory's voyage through the subspace. He just felt ashamed and remorseful because this nightmare revealed the secret desire in his heart that refused to subside.

After waking up like this, Mathieu could no longer sleep.He got up and prayed for a while, and then tried to punish himself with the pain caused by the automatic flogger, so that those secret longings could eliminate the silence, but it was no use.After the time chime sounded, he simply gave up all futile efforts and picked up his servo skull - made from the skull of his mentor Valeria in the seminary - without connecting to the mechanical device. —Get up and go to a place where you won’t be disturbed by others.

At this time, he had not realized that there was some kind of grand existence coming in that nightmare, and He showed him a omen, or two omens, in the dream.The existence in dreams is often like ripples on the water, which will quickly dissipate after the person wakes up.But those ripples existed after all, and when the time is right, the truly important revelations will emerge again from the redundancy of memory.

He also didn't know that on this "night" artificially designated by the crew of Macragge's Glory, Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman had a conversation with Rogue Trader Jahiri Sulemanian.As fate would have it, Guilliman mentioned Lorgar Aurelion in a casual manner, without knowing that Sulymania was harboring the first edition of the Book of Divinations.This was regarded by the Rogue Traders as a mysterious and dramatic guidance, and by the Imperial Regent as an ordinary coincidence.What none of them noticed was that another Primarch's name came up in the conversation: Konrad Curze.His prophetic abilities were considered a gift by Guilliman, but alas, he went mad.

In addition, there is something that Mathieu is even more unlikely to know: somewhere in the distant, dark, unknown, universe, a Night Lord is also struggling to get up from the painful spasms caused by the prophecy.He wasn't sure what he saw, and couldn't believe what he saw, but the prophecies he inherited from his genetic father were never wrong, and the throbbing from his blood couldn't lie either.He paced nervously in this private space that could barely be called a quiet room, repeatedly trying to dismiss the omens he had seen in his delirium.He didn't know how long it took him to make a decision, but as soon as the idea appeared, it grew uncontrollably in his heart, taking root more stubbornly than any turbulence or chaotic influence from the highest heaven.

All Night Lords warbands must be assembled.Prophet No. [-] thought so and pushed open the door of the quiet room whose mechanical structure had long been broken.

The long river of destiny does not change its direction because of a little turbulence at the corner. Everything is flowing towards the future with its original momentum.However, there are foreign reefs wedged into the long river, and sediment will always accumulate around it with runoff.

As for whether the river will eventually wash away the reef, or whether the reef will turn into an island, everything is still unknown.

In the subspace, there are magnificent eyes watching all this.
