God Emperor’s Angel of Death

Danat Lysander has always believed that all the praise for him is simply because he survived the hell of Taradon.

Naked facts are meaningless to him. Saving his life itself is never what he cares about. This idea is completely blasphemy—one of the few things he still believes in.

For the same reason, even after being captured by the Iron Warrior, he did not indulge himself enough to want to die with his brothers.

Sorrow and pride are equally strange emotions to him.

Now, this incident is no trivial matter.

It is like an iron chain hanging on the shoulders of those who have returned.

Body trauma can still be cured and most of them recover quickly, but the heavy pressure is not a physical injury.

Although no one uttered the word "doomsday," I could still vaguely hear it in the echoing silence of the mountain array, perceiving every whisper in the faded dark red fabric on the cold stone, Witness every slanting glance.

At the end of the 41st millennium, chaos became more and more active, even Xenos began to attack the city, every Chapter was exhausted, and every warrior could feel the great oppression before the rain.

Lysander walked down the long corridor. The hanging lumen in the tower was turned off, which reflected a certain atmosphere—the interior of the place is now almost empty, and it has been affected by the dirty air. And give off a musty smell.

Imperium's fragile skeleton has begun to no longer support its bloated and decayed body.

Even the mountain formation that had survived the Horus Rebellion, at the end of the 41th millennium, became more and more like a twilight old man.

The mountain formation is a huge movable interstellar fortress. It is also the current home of the Imperial Fist. It is said that the mountain formation was built more than 10,000 years ago, and the secret of its construction has long been forgotten.

When Dorn and God Emperor met for the first time, the imperial Fist original body Dorn dedicated the mountain formation to the God Emperor, and later the God Emperor gave it back to Dorn, and he has been proud ever since. The land serves Imperium.

Since then, it has circled the solar system, and its orbit is synchronized with the sacred Terra. It is a golden sentinel that is always on alert to become the cradle of the Protector class in this increasingly dark age. .

But when necessary, the mountain formation will also be an extremely powerful battleship. In the past great expedition era and now heretical era, its silhouette has appeared in hundreds of worlds, Follow closely from behind is the anger of the Imperial Fist warriors and the original body.

The mountain array itself is very huge. It is the largest spacecraft known to be built by humans. Its size is like a small satellite or a large asteroid. An interstellar fortress of this size has not been repeated since the age of dark technology. Appeared.

From the appearance, the mountain formation is a regular polygon. Its huge spire extends towards the stars, making it look like a huge nest city, because it is so big that it can Reflecting light like a star in many ways, it is also the only ship built by mankind that is close to the scale and complexity of the Craftworld of Spirit Race.

The shell of the mountain formation is full of weapon arrays and detection arrays. Each area is covered with solid armor. Every angle is covered with more than any Imperium battleship can equip. Torpedo tube and light spear array.

At the same time, its outer front deck can also dock a dozen cruisers. After entering the dock, you can see a huge atrium covered with ornate panels, and four large, decorated Corridor, generally you can enter the ship through the corridor.

Leaving the pier, you will enter a square. This square is very large, more than 100 meters high. The ceiling of the dome is decorated with the Legion logo and the victory emblem.

There is a 30-meter-wide diamond on the top of the dome, beautiful reliefs on the wall, and mosaic patterns composed of the Imperial Fist logo on the marble floor.

At the other end is a huge staircase leading to a one-kilometer-long hall with various spoils of war.

Adjacent to the Hall of Honor is another corridor. There is an equally magnificent but relatively small staircase and connecting corridor, which contains the various damages suffered during the wild beast war.

At the end of this small corridor is a hall for Space Marine dining and a room all around surrounded by ordinary glass for meetings. In the center of the room is a black round table and an elaborate Space Marine statue made.

Some people say that the nature of the mountain array is a hive city in space, which is not a lie in a sense.

However, ten thousand years have passed, and the current situation of the mountain formation is not optimistic. Constant vigilance and war have caused inevitable losses.

Although the Imperial Fist is constantly working hard to maintain the mountain formations, more powerful fortress systems fail every year, and the skills needed to repair them have long since disappeared from people's memory.

Once, the phalanx was like a giant in the Glittering Group of Stars, but now its peak has already passed.

It hasn't left the solar system for a long, long time, and Lysander sometimes wonders whether the mountain array can be re-attached.

Maybe its next expedition will also be the last, like an old warrior who is about to die with his last sword swinging and dying from exhaustion.

Lysander doesn't want to see that day.

But this mission has shaken him.

At first he didn't believe it, but after witnessing the terrifying killing of the insect nest fleet up close, he was truly shaken.

Not long ago, Lysander led two companies, as the commander of this mission, went to the Far East Star Domain to investigate a newly confirmed insect nest fleet-Kraken insect nest.

No one believes that since the main force of Behemoth’s insect nest fleet was eliminated, Terra Insect Nest has the ability to piece together a large-scale main force fleet, but the facts ruthlessly slapped those creatures. The sage slapped.

Although what is currently appearing in the Far East Star Domain is only the outpost tentacles of the insect nest main fleet, its scale has exceeded the general Tyronn squadron. Lysander also led the Imperial Fist to fight bloody battles, and finally broke through and Bring this news back to Tyra.

In order to prevent large-scale panic and chaos from the High Lords Council, the information about the insect nest fleet named "Kraken" is currently in a state of high secrecy. Follow-up investigation and defense will There are more than a dozen Chapters of Far East Star Domain in charge, mainly Raven Guard and a series of their subgroups.

But at present, only Lysander and his warriors really know those insect race terrifying.

When the exhausted survivor staggered back to the weapon room, the cloak was broken, the sword was broken, and people could get a glimpse of the fierce battle.

The souls who have been sent to the insect nest invasion path but have not yet returned are all lost on the other side, and the loss is almost unimaginable.

He doesn't know whether Imperium has the strength to deal with such a powerful enemy. Just dealing with the black Legion that begins to stir in the Eye of Fear has already exhausted Imperium.

Lysander approached a pair of gates. He didn’t know why his Chapter called him this time. For the first time in many years since the day he started serving, Lysander found the other party so unpredictable. .

It was a thought-provoking discovery, realizing that even he was affected by the coldness of a pessimistic future, and the slow poison of hesitation-it was not obvious before.

As he approached, a guard wearing an ornate helmet opened the gate, and a pair of brass plates turned inward on the bare stone floor.

Twenty people stood in the far hall, fourteen were Chapter command veterans and advisors, dressed in various armors and ancient fabrics.

The other five, like Lysander, are company officers in Chapter.

Their helmet has been taken off, revealing the riddled with scars face. One of them is Tor Galladon, the commander of the special force "Tara Sentinel", and also Lysander's past friend and present friend.

The man has many wounds, some physical, some soul.

The man in the middle, Vladimir Pew, the owner of the mountain formation and their Chapter leader, was standing there quietly.
