"Hello, my name is Alexei. What should I call you?"

Alexei lowered his posture, which made Russell subconsciously wary.

He could tell that this female psyker named Alexei seemed to have a high status within the human camp. In terms of psychic abilities, she is even stronger than the Gray Knight around her.

Why would such a person be so humble to a being whom he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend when meeting him for the first time?

No, not just humility.

Russell's eyes narrowed slightly under the psychic mist. He saw her shoulders shaking slightly. The prophetess lowered her head and tried hard to hide her small movements of swallowing saliva. She was... afraid.

And are you afraid of me?

"...My name has no meaning. Tell me, what is your purpose?" Russell chose not to answer her question.

"Ah, yes, okay." Alexey's hands on his chest clenched silently.

She tilted her head and said softly to the Gray Knight who escorted her here: "Mr. Dimitri, can you please step aside first? I have something to say with this gentleman alone."

After saying that, she turned to Milak: "The same goes for Captain Milak. Please take the soldiers and retreat for the time being. The matter I want to discuss with this gentleman is very important and... needs to be kept confidential."

Upon hearing this, the Gray Knight known as "Mr. Dimitri" just bowed his head and said "be careful" to Alexei, then led the team away and walked out of the throne room through the gap.

"Please be safe." Although Milak was confused, he wanted to know why the prophet took the risk himself and came here, and he also wanted to remind her that Russell was actually a powerful psyker who could kill the demon alone, but after all, he did not Say more, the authority of the prophet is absolute.

The surviving members of the commando team silently collected the bodies of their dead battle brothers, while two Terminator veterans who were in generally good health were responsible for taking away the Dreadnought mecha with paralyzed legs.

Soon, Russell, Bao, and Alexey were the only three living creatures left in the huge throne hall.

"You seem to be afraid of me...although I don't know what I have to be afraid of."

Russell held the Woltaum Reality Orifice in one hand, and held the dying but still alive Bao in the other hand. The black robe on his body was stained with the sticky blood of the Space Marines. He felt that although his appearance was a bit shabby, it was still good. It's not too scary.

Alexey smiled awkwardly and said in a tone as gentle as water: "Sorry, I lost my temper."

"So what do you want to tell me?" Russell looked at her.

"Well... If we want to trace the origin of this matter, we have to start with a dream I had 30 years ago..." Her expression was slightly hazy, as if she was reminiscing.

"Stop, I'm in a hurry, you'd better keep your story short." Russell frowned, and the psychic mist on his face slowly flowed: "Our communication should be more efficient, you know, the bug is coming, I have to deal with it they."

"Okay...ok."

The highly respected prophetess was at a loss as a young student who had been reprimanded by her tutor. Alexey patted his chest and hesitated before getting mentally prepared.

She slowly took off the cloth covered with holy words that covered her eyes. A pair of violet eyes shed a little golden light. Through the hazy spiritual mist, Alexei and Russell met their eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul. Russell could feel her spirit and will slowly extending toward him like tentacles. She was careful and reserved, with a hint of fear. He didn't think much about it and wrapped it gently with his own will. The spiritual tentacles she stretched out linked the spiritual worlds of the two people together.

Softer than expected... Alexey tried to suppress the surprise and curiosity in his heart, but it was meaningless. Two people linked together can feel each other's thoughts and emotions most intuitively. The communication in this situation is There was no way he could lie, just like the angel did when he first met the Emperor.

After calming down her slightly excited emotions, the prophetess spoke softly: "I am entrusted by the God Emperor..."

A short sentence is only a superficial carrier. The moment this sentence is spoken, a greater amount of information has been communicated on the spiritual bridge between the two, which is worth a thousand words.

From the perspective of this female prophet, Russell experienced the beginning and end of this expedition in the first person immersively——

30 years ago, that is, the year Russell came to this world, the green-skinned orc tribe wandering in a deserted corner of the Esbanese sector accidentally obtained a "treasure".

Alexei didn't know what it was, but he only knew that the orcs had risen rapidly since they got that treasure.

The reproductive spores of the orcs seemed to have undergone some kind of benign mutation after acquiring the treasure. Theoretically dead planets and restricted areas of life were constantly transformed into fertile lands full of vitality, and then green skins continued to emerge one after another. .

Subsequently, led by the Inquisitor and the Sector Governor of Esbanese, and joining forces with the forge world of Musbel of the Adeptus Mechanicus, an expeditionary fleet was formed to defeat the orcs.

This expedition only lasted less than 18 years. After returning from the battle with the green-skinned orcs and destroying several green planets, the Esbanese expedition fleet hurriedly returned. In addition to requesting support for the terrifying number of green-skinned orcs, they also Brought back some other interesting information:

When issuing an extermination order on a green planet covered with Orc spores, the fleet commander discovered that orbital bombardment using conventional naval gun weapons would cause very limited damage to the ecosystem on the planet's surface.

This emerald green planet seems to have turned into a huge life entity. The damaged local areas will absorb the nutrients delivered by the planet's overall ecosystem with astonishing efficiency, and grow and heal rapidly.

In the end, an inquisitor made the decision and authorized the flagship Fire of Penance to use precious atmosphere-burning torpedoes, which finally completely destroyed the planet's ecosystem.

When the heavily damaged expeditionary fleet brought this strange phenomenon back to the Esbanese sector, senior officials, including the Ecclesiastical Bishops and the Adeptus Mechanicus Magi, were gathering to debate the nature of Alexei's prophetic dream. means nothing.

"The God-Emperor asked the prophetess in a dream to go to the eastern border of the Ultramarine Star Territory, and said that there, she would obtain something important that could change the fate of the empire."

While thinking about the will of the God-Emperor, an inquisitor keenly discovered one thing through his flexible information network: the Orcs' battle moon was also sailing towards the east of the Extreme Star Territory.

Combined with the nature of the treasure held by the orc, a crazy idea suddenly spread out of nowhere:

"Since the powerful vitality contained in that treasure can activate a planet and become a huge life whole. Then, can it also nourish the decaying body of the human emperor sitting on the golden throne and allow the God Emperor to regain his strength? Walking in the world?”
