Chapter 126 The Throne and the Lord of Ashes

Not long after, following Gray Wind's guidance, Dante was walking in the spacious and gorgeously decorated cabin of the Gray Gu battleship.

It was bigger than he had imagined. When passing by a hall, the internal space with its tall dome was even enough to accommodate several Warrior-class Titans parked side by side.

What surprised Dante the most were the human soldiers standing on both sides of the corridor with their backs to the wall. Judging from their appearance alone, these soldiers did not look much different from ordinary Imperial people. This made Dante I couldn't help but think of some records about the Macarius expedition that I had seen in the Angel Castle archives.

It is said that the Imperial Expedition Fleet at that time once reached unknown areas beyond the light of the Star Torch, and discovered some special civilizations suspected of being inherited from the Golden Age and possessing miraculous technologies.

However, because the people of the Empire have long relied on the Star Torch and dare not easily step into those dark and unknown areas, the Empire has never proven the authenticity of these stories to this day. Could it be that the so-called Ashes Alliance comes from Those fallen civilizations in dark places?

For a moment, when Dante followed the girl in front of him around a corner, his peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of some small mechanical equipment on the road where the two came from. The floors that have been used are disinfected and cleaned repeatedly.

  I don't know how far I walked, but as a gate at the end of the passage slowly opened, the scene that appeared in front of me was shocking enough even for Dante, who had lived for a thousand years.

It was a mechanical palace that was equally wide and dark in color, with a sense of science fiction and majesty. The walls and floors made of nano-armor plates could faintly see the flickering light of energy. In the center of the hall, a huge machine The Mechanical Throne suddenly caught Dante's attention.

Relying on Astartes' superhuman vision, he saw a human male sitting on the throne. He was wearing a simple black uniform and a human figure. From the appearance alone, he was no different from ordinary Imperials. At this place, the man was wearing a black mask with a metallic texture on his face.

After a moment, Gray Wind stopped and stood slowly beside the mechanical throne. Judging from the atmosphere at the scene, it was obvious that the man was the leader of the Ashes Alliance.

Soon, a processed electronic sound entered Dante's ears from above the throne.

"Welcome, Luis Dante from Baal II, the current Chapter Master of the Blood Angels."

Hearing the other party call out his name, and after calming down his chaotic mood a little, Dante, who was under the throne, asked his first question.

"What the hell are you?"

However, not long after Dante finished speaking, Gray Feng, who was standing next to the throne, raised his hand slightly dissatisfied.

"You should kneel down and speak. This is the most basic matter of courtesy."

After saying that, a gray nanostorm suddenly rolled up on the originally calm ground, and Dante was enveloped in it in just an instant.

The next second, he could feel that the exquisite power armor on his body had failed, and he began to force his body to kneel down. Even though he exhausted all his strength, the armor seemed to be alive. Follow his orders again.

At this moment, the man on the throne spoke again. "There is no need. In fact, I don't really care about these red tape issues."

Hearing this, Gray Feng on the side finally stopped his hand. As the gray-white sand dispersed, Dante, who had been forced to kneel on one knee, finally regained his freedom.

This situation surprised the chapter leader, who stared at the disappearing white gravel on the ground. Earlier in the tactics room of the Baal Covenant, the opponent also used the same method to suppress the two company commanders on the scene. He I can't figure out what kind of method this is and what the girl did.
  Not long after, I saw the man on the throne stand up. That man was Otto. Strictly speaking, he didn't like to talk to outsiders in such a condescending tone. Moreover, the surrounding environment really made him feel too high-profile and too high-profile. Embarrassed.

Especially the mechanical throne under him always gave him the illusion that he was in COS Old Man Huang.
  It's too unlucky
  In fact, earlier before deciding to have a formal dialogue and exchange with the Blood Angels, Otto originally wanted to find a conference room where everyone could sit down and communicate in a friendly manner, but this idea caused Gray Wind's dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, since the name of the Ashes Alliance has been called out, as a formal diplomatic visit, everything must be more formal or more formal. If it is too casual, it will only lose the face of the Ashes Alliance. .

Although in Otto's opinion, this was not very necessary, Gray Wind still insisted on renovating the interior space of the Gray Gu battleship, and only then did such a strange throne hall appear inside.

"I can clearly state that I am a human being, and the Ashes Alliance mainly represents the interests of the human race."

Regarding such an answer, Dante did not let down his guard because he was still unable to judge how different the human beings in the other party's words were from the human beings he understood.

"Where are you from? What is your purpose?"

"We come from a distant place, and we have noticed your existence as early as the 3K era when your civilization was ignorant and had not yet entered the universe."

In fact, what Otto said is not false. After all, he himself is a native of the earth from the 3K period.
  "We know about your empire, about your emperor, your primarch, and everything that has happened in history. From your past glory to your current fall, we have never given up observing you, and this That includes you.”

In order to prove that what he said was true, Otto soon stepped down from the mechanical throne that made him feel unlucky. Then he carefully recalled the background stories of the characters he had seen before, while pretending to be profound.

"Areas, that is your father's name, your true father."

"If I remember correctly, he was a salt miner, and when you were eleven years old, in order to prove yourself, you abandoned your biological father and went to the trial site of the Blood Angels alone, and thus became Got a Blood Angel."

The man's words shocked Dante, because this was a secret he had never mentioned to outsiders.

"how do you"

Looking at the Astartes wearing golden armor in front of him, Otto could clearly feel how shocked he was even through the mask.
