The Emperor’s Angel of Death

From the outside, Quanzhou Palace is a huge castle towering into the clouds, but after entering the interior, Soshyan realized that it is indeed a palace.

The culture of Chegris is very different from the mainstream culture of the empire. Inside the outer barriers made of rock and steel, most of them are wooden buildings, and the towers inside are octagonal, with golden glazed tiles layer by layer. Up, the main building of the entire Quanzhou Palace has front eaves, four pillars, surrounded by long corridors, and it is antique.

Soshyan passed through hall after hall, where many white scars were displayed and displayed many trophies from battles from the Legion era, from primitive daggers, to alien warblades that were as tall as a man, and even There are also claws of certain arthropods.

Afterwards, they entered a spacious anteroom from the corridor, the ceiling of which was studded with sparkling crystals, and in front of the walls stood many servants in fur-robed robes, holding incense burners.

On the far wall, the Legion's lightning symbol is inlaid on a snow-white slate.

Below the lightning mark are huge Edman metal explosion-proof doors. These doors lead to the reception room of Quanzhou Palace. Two Terminators are holding heavy knives and guard the entrance like door gods. Their faces are hidden in the power armor inclined grille. The back of the helmet is decorated with horsehair dyed black.

As the blast door opened, Soshyan followed Suboden Khan into this exotic hall.

The hall is very large, estimated to be seven or eight hundred square meters, with conspicuous red columns and metal grilles, but the most conspicuous thing is that the walls around the hall are actually hung with a huge tapestry-like curtain sewn with countless animal skins. Cover the walls of the entire hall, making it look like a huge tent.

However, there are several opposite windows on the soft curtain partitions on each side, lined with lake gauze, so it is translucent.

The central axis of the hall is covered with a checkered red carpet, and at the end is a huge metal brazier, and Soshyan is going all the way along this line.

The place smelled of leather, furnaces, and incense, flames burning in braziers, blackening the metal walls, and the halls, from the dome to the floor, were filled with the mysterious runes of Chegris.

On both sides of the red carpet, the sweats standing with white scars, their shoulder pads bear the badge of their own Brotherhood, all eyes are focused on Soshyan, there is scrutiny, speculation, and curiosity.

Across the brazier, Soshyan saw a huge ivory-colored throne at the end of the hall. It must belong to the Primarch, but it has been vacant for nearly 10,000 years.

Another stalwart warrior stood on the steps below the throne. His face was as heavy as a jujube, his lips were greased, there was a lightning-shaped scar on his cheek, and his bald head was only a short braid hanging down. Behind his head, he was squinting slightly, stroking his long beard and looking at Soshyan.

Without introduction, Soshyan can also guess that this is the current White Scars Chapter Commander, Juba Khan.

Although the Khan of Juba shares the same name as another Khan of the Legion in the age of the Great Crusade, it is a new generation of the 41st millennium, and Juba succeeded him after the previous Great Khan was lost due to the battle with the Dark Eldar in 943.m41 Ascension of the Great Khan - before he successfully passed the test set by the Storm Prophet.

During his tenure as the Great Khan, Juba experienced numerous battles against the aliens, one of the greatest achievements being that during the Yopal Uprising, he led the chapter in a series of raids that dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's supplies and communication lines.

In such an attack, the enemy was forced to divert a large number of troops to deal with the White Scars, and the Imperial Guard was able to break through the weakly defended enemy front lines and finally quell the rebellion.

Strictly speaking, Juba had not served as Chapter Commander for as long as Soshyan, but he served more than two hundred years earlier than Soshyan.

And standing with Juba Khan, there is also an old man with a long bone staff, white beard and hair, and a face full of vicissitudes.

Like Juba, Soshyan knew that he was one of the oldest think tank curators in the Empire, Storm Prophet Ogotai, almost without asking.

Suboden Khan, who was leading the way for Soshyan, stopped in front of the steps, then nodded to each other with Juba Khan and returned to his position.

When everyone entered, the explosion-proof door was immediately closed, and the light from the bronze luminous tube shone on the surrounding white walls. There were about seventy white scar warriors standing on the tile floor. Khan, including some commanding and senior veterans.

"Welcome to Chegris, Supreme Lord Commander of the Maelstrom Expedition, His Excellency Soshyan Alexei."

When Juba Khan opened his mouth slowly, his voice like rolling thunder echoed through the curtains of the reception hall. During the decades as a Chapter Commander, his broken and determined face became harder, and the jagged scars on his face became paler. Although the ancient Seiko power armor has been carefully maintained, the battle marks such as burn marks, gouge marks, and dents are still preserved.

The armor is said to be from the legendary warrior Juba Khan of the Great Crusade.

The same armor, worn 10,000 years later by someone with the same name, seems to represent some kind of reincarnation of fate.

However, his strong Chegris accent also makes Soshyan have to listen very carefully to not misunderstand what he is about to say. Even because of the heavy accent, Chegris is actually classified as low in the official language of the Empire. Gothic.

"Khan of Juba is very kind, and I am also very happy to be able to come to Chegris, the glorious place that represents the White Scars Legion."

Listening to the standard High Gothic language, Juba Khan stared at Soshyan with a mysterious smile on his face, while at the same time gently stroking the handle of the dragon head of the machete around his waist with his left hand.

"As the saying goes, the rustling of leaves must be the wind, and the Soshyan Chapter Commander must not be here just to see the scenery."

Soshyan is actually quite unfamiliar with the white scars. He has never had contact with these fighters in his service career, even if there are no subgroups, but at least it seems that they are a group of straightforward fighters.

Straightforward people, then use frank communication.

"The White Scars, as the closest start-up group to the Maelstrom area, is not only your group, but even the subgroups from your group are basically active in the Maelstrom area to guard against the heretics and aliens lurking in the Maelstrom area. When I came on the expedition, I hope to get your help and guidance, because I know that Huron is a terrible opponent, and even if I beat him once, it does not mean that there will be a second time."

Juba Khan nodded slightly.

"Well~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The real river must be quiet, and the real capable person must be humble. If the leader of the Soshyan chapter can realize this, even if the expedition is difficult, there will be a victory. a day, but—"

The Khan's words suddenly made Suoshyang's heart burst.

"Actually, after I received the news of the expedition, I made arrangements, but according to the logo of the fleet on orbit, the Dark Angel has joined the expedition, right?"

Although he didn't know what the other party's intention was for suddenly mentioning this, Soshyan nodded honestly.

"Yes."

"And if I remember correctly, one of the ships is also used by the Ravenwings very often."

"This time Azrael's supreme mentor appointed Samuel mentor to lead the Ravenwing Company to participate in the expedition."

"That's it."

After that, the Juba Khan turned his gaze to a person beside the column on the right side of Soshyan.
