Hammer 40k: Far East Storm

Li was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"This is exactly my duty," Jacob said calmly: "You are the leader of the war group, the leader of the war group. Your will is the will of the war group. At the moment when the war group was founded, every one of your Decisions determine the future of the Chapter. In this case, your personal situation is much more important than the status of the Chapter. If the Chapter encounters setbacks and difficulties, we can still start over and the Chapter can continue. But if the problem lies with you, then the war group will be walking on the wrong path!"

Li's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, and he asked coldly: "Oh? So in your opinion, I am on the wrong path?"

"I'm just preventing this from happening. Sir, it's not bad that you feel guilty in your heart, but I must let you know that what you did is not wrong." Jacob said sincerely: "Frankly Talking is much better than letting this guilt lurk deep in your heart like a poisonous thorn, turning it into a hidden wound and finally turning into a abscess. Why did he choose to die and live in chaos? Why did he only leave the words "Never..." in the end? I guess you know better than me. I can't criticize Master Raven's personal ethics. This choice is undoubtedly a huge loss for the empire and is extremely unwise!”

There seemed to be a chain sword hidden between Jacob's lips and tongue. In just a few words, he completely dismembered Li's thoughts and exposed them to the sun. Li's breathing suddenly became heavy, and Li's lips trembled. In the end, he only said this, "You, you are so bold! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!"

Jacob smiled. If it was just a "bold" comment, it would also explain Li's true thoughts. The director of the think tank was very satisfied with his previous words. No matter what, he finally understood the inner thoughts of the leader. However, no matter what the matter was, he had to accept it as soon as possible, so Jacob He said extremely humbly: "My courage comes from your wisdom. The most important thing is that you understand that what I tell is the truth!"

Li naturally understood that what Jacob said was right. The former founding leader of the Raven Guard, the son of the emperor, and the "Raven" who had always been loyal to the emperor, finally left the war group he created and disappeared. Near the Eye of Terror, the empire recognized that he chose to end his life in the chaos. The reason was not complicated, but because of guilt.

During the Great Rebellion when Warmaster Horus led ten of the twenty Star Chapters to counterattack Earth, the Raven Guard chose to be loyal to the Emperor without hesitation. During the war, the Chapter fought arduously. The brutal defensive battle finally suffered a devastating blow. Soldiers died miserably on the chaotic battlefield. Even the genes could not be recovered. The gene pool of the Chapter suffered a heavy blow. The Crow Chapter was even more... It was almost on the verge of destruction.

After the Heresy, faced with the continuous war and disintegration of the Empire, Raven, the founder of the Chapter, had to devote all his energy to restoring the Chapter's fighting strength. Raven's idea is very simple. If you want to defend the empire and protect mankind, you must at least restore your combat power first. But the battle group cannot be built in a day. Under that crisis situation, Raven had to use many excessive means in order to restore the battle group's combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Reshaping the Raven Chapter came at great cost. It is said that the underground of Raven Tower is filled with failed Space Marines. These beastly failures have turned the underground of Raven Tower into a terrifying roar. hell.

These beasts are not Space Marines, and cannot even be called "human". It is said that their existence has long been buried in history, leaving only various secret rumors.

In the end, the Dark Crow Chapter was reborn, but "Raven" also disappeared from the Chapter, and his whereabouts became a mystery. Most researchers of imperial history believe that he could not bear the guilt in his heart and chose to end his life in chaos.

Raven left the battle group because of guilt and disappeared into the empire. In Jacob's opinion, although this can be called kindness, he would rather call it stupidity! Or weakness!

He would never want his immediate boss to be such a person, even though he inherited the raven's genes, and he might also have inherited the raven's weak character. But people's thoughts can influence each other through communication.

No matter what, Jacob must put the Chapter on the right path and make the Reach System a strong fortress on the Empire's border!

Jacob said: "In my opinion, you are a rare and excellent leader. Under your leadership, the Knights Templar will surely be brilliant. But if you say your only shortcoming, it is that you are too Pay attention to emotion. You may feel guilty because of emotion, but you must not let it affect your decision-making. Raven made a fatal mistake, because the Raven Guard had been rebuilt by then, and Roboute had already been rebuilt. After ascending to the throne of the highest military commander of the Imperial Army, the entire empire has stabilized, so he relaxed his vigilance. He thought that the enemy had failed and the danger had disappeared! What a big mistake! The situation now is only more dangerous than before. The empire is facing unprecedented danger, we are in the most dangerous environment, and there is no room for weakness in this situation! "

Li Moran couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Jacob was worthy of being the head of his think tank. During their time together, Jacob's eyes had penetrated Li's dazzling aura and his powerful force. He saw Lee's deep inner weakness. But this is exactly what Li has always wanted to hide.

From deep inside Li's heart, he is not a strong man.

What is a truly strong person?

Liu Bang could say without changing his face that he wanted to taste his father's meat; Liu Bei could abandon his wife and children without hesitation when he ran away; are these people simple villains? This is not the case, but they are very clear about their pursuits and goals. Born in troubled times, they understand the cruelty of the world better than others. There has never been perfection in the world, and people are constantly pursuing their ultimate goals. It may be a smooth road, but we will always need to make choices. People who know how to make choices and are good at making decisions can make decisions decisively, and they can be one step ahead of others. Under the ultimate goal of the world, what can't be given up?

But Li BuTong, deep down in his heart, he is just an ordinary person who was born and grew up in peacetime, and is entangled in the ordinary and complicated worldly affairs. Until now, he has just followed the worldly affairs. Pushing the stumbling forward, the road ahead is unclear and full of fog. Li has no idea what the future will be like. But even though he knew that the road ahead was getting more and more difficult, he still couldn't stop.

Because no matter what he was before, he is no longer an ordinary person living in a peaceful world. He came to this world, inherited this identity and body, and naturally assumed this responsibility. As a man, All he could do was keep going.

Even though Li is an ordinary person, as an ordinary person, he also has his own persistence. They are just some simple but stupid ideas, but these ideas are deeply rooted in his heart and are unbreakable.

Deep in Li's heart, he was not doing this for the God-Emperor, but for Robert Lee. His mentor's legacy was very simple, that is, "Serve the God-Emperor!" But the man who once stood at the top of the empire The holy emperor has been silent in his golden throne for thousands of years. The deeds of the past have turned into legends with the passage of time. To this day, those legends have long become myths.

The God-Emperor who once illuminated the dark universe with his own light can now only sit on the royal throne and gradually decay. To whom should this loyalty be paid? Even if they want to switch to the upper echelons of the empire, those people don't need Li at all. From the bottom of their hearts, they are afraid of this man who has awakened from history. The last thing they want to see in a stable structure is variables. So the empire's top officials kicked him out of the empire early.

The only thing Li can and must do now is to protect the people around him and those who trust him.

It’s also for the people around me who believe in and rely on me.

But this is not a simple matter!

Li must make his legion stronger. The dark universe is full of malicious creatures, demons, Eldar, greenskins, and all kinds of aliens! God knows what other cursed evil things have been bred in the dark universe!

This greenskin invasion resulted in the destruction of one province, forced the evacuation of residents in three provinces, massacre of hundreds of thousands of people, and countless losses of property. Although specific statistics have not yet appeared, the war It's not over yet, the losses will only continue to rise. But Li understood that the invaders who invaded Reach this time were not truly terrifying enemies. Compared with the truly terrifying forces and legions in the universe, these orcs were nothing at all.

Li sighed, nodded and said: "I understand, the universe is dark and cold, and there is no room for weakness. We must be strong. Thank you for your comfort. Although the soldiers sacrificed, they are still the soldiers of the God Emperor. They are still knights of the Knights Templar. No matter where they are, they must dedicate themselves to the Knights." At this point, Li looked a little sad, "I understand what you mean, Jacob, I’m lucky to have you as my think tank director, your wisdom is exactly what I need.”

"You don't have to thank me for this. You are my captain and I serve you. Isn't this a normal thing?"

"Okay, I understand. So regarding the matter of the 'Sabbath Garden', I hope you can cooperate well with Pastor Martin. The Sabbath Garden was designed according to Pastor Martin's wishes. Pastor Martin is proficient in various religious rituals and is also good at architecture. There is also a lot of in-depth research, but his requirements for fine craftsmanship are a bit too much. I hope that the construction period can be accelerated, and it is best to build the Sabbath Garden by the end of the war. "

"I understand that both the people of Reach and us need a grand funeral to soothe the wounds."

Li nodded, "Yes, one more thing. We will hold a battle group ceremony in the prayer hall in a week. You need to attend then."

"There's no way I'd miss it."
