Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

!

Hearing this, Anakin suddenly realized that Horus's words were a reminder that he didn't need to keep thinking about Leon's harsh words.

No need.

Just like Horus said, no matter what happens, nothing can change the fact that they are a family.

"And the current Warmaster once saved me from trouble." Horus added in a timely manner: "I believe that the conflict of interests between legions, in the face of events such as foreign invasions and even the advent of Chaos, will lose everything." These are just insignificant flaws.

What's more, if any brother is in crisis, I believe that you two will risk your lives to save him, or they will be in trouble, just like Warmaster Leon once saved me. "

"Of course." Anakin responded without any hesitation.

"." The same is true for Wokan.

It cannot be said that the concept of "when brothers are in trouble, I will take the lead" will be adhered to 100% in the future, but at this moment, these two new primarchs made a commitment from the bottom of their hearts.

"Hahaha! Okay!"

Seeing that his two younger brothers seemed to have learned a lot from him, Horus laughed happily again, "Let us first completely stabilize the situation and eliminate all the metal debris, and then go to the Hera of our 1st Battalion." Howling, don’t worry, the celebration banquet will definitely allow the brothers to drink fine wine and feast on delicious food!”

!

Hearing what Horus said, Anakin and Vokan were even more eager to give it a try, because they had not officially participated in any celebration banquet.

Previously, through live broadcasts on the Internet, we had witnessed the Sons of Man annihilating the Zerg named Zerg. The entire earth was celebrating the triumphant return of Fulgrim and the Sons of Man.

What impressed them most was the resplendent banquet hall of the Imperial Palace, everything was extremely dreamy, and their father personally sent blessings to Fulgrim and the soldiers who had made great contributions, and also gave them pure gifts. A magical weapon with psychic powers.

Of course, they were only four or five years old when they saw the live broadcast video. Although Anakin and Wokkan have not forgotten any details of the live broadcast, when they mention the celebration banquet, they will always have memories in their minds. It’s gold, spotlight and.

Food and wine.

Yes, they really think that the food at the celebration banquet tastes many times better than usual.

However.

"Oh! That's right!" However, Horus's smile deepened and he continued: "Look at my memory. When I was happy, I actually forgot that you two are still underage. The original body must set an example and never take the initiative to violate the law. , so don’t worry about fine wine and use drinks instead of fine wine, hahaha!”

"." Anakin and Volkan were immediately disappointed.

It's not that they are addicted to alcohol like Ruth, but that when people are minors, they are always full of curiosity and yearning for places and things that "minors are not allowed to enter" and "minors are not allowed to purchase".

Just like parents clearly told not to touch the running electric fan with their fingers, but the child insists on touching it, and finally makes him cry and realizes that it really hurts, the original body is no exception.

However, based on the metabolic speed of the original body, it is impossible to get drunk from drinking, unless it is a "nectar" brewed with pure spiritual energy, such as the Space Wolves' "Fenris Brand Food Liquid" or "Fenris Vodka", etc. wait.

If ordinary people drink those so-called "beautiful liquids", they may fall into a coma for several weeks, or they may be reincarnated directly.

The reason why Horus did not allow Anakin and Vokan to drink was because, as a direct heir of the Emperor, the Primarch had to set an example and not break the law. In fact, it was because he was afraid that Anakin and Vokan would grow up. , after having their own legions, star regions, and universes under their jurisdiction, they will be criticized by people with ulterior motives.

For example, "As a Primarch, they actually drank alcohol in public when they were underage. Are they treating the laws of the Empire as child's play? Or are they above the laws of the Empire?!" This kind of language.

That would become their political black material, so Horus would naturally not allow himself and his two brothers to make "possible" mistakes just for the sake of temporary pleasure.

The group left the main tomb chamber.

However, before leaving completely, a Gastalin did not forget to leave an anti-matter grenade.

When everyone's figures disappeared completely, the main tomb chamber was swallowed up by dazzling white light, and everything disappeared.

Imperial calendar, year 2227, July 23rd.

Morning Star Universe Domain.

At this time, on the sunny side of the Morning Star, in the space about 200,000 kilometers away from the surface, nearly 4,000 warships of all levels gathered.

The most eye-catching among them are the two home worlds that can be clearly observed even from the surface of Morning Star, namely the Shadow of the Empire of the Raven Guard and the Leonidas of Sparta.

Next is the Wrath of Hera from the 1st Battalion of the Luna Wolves.

As for why the 1st Battalion named their flagship after "Hera", this goes back to the time when they were still subordinate to the Spartan Legion. At that time, the Spartan Primarch rescued them from Abaddon and served them The "doctor" who performs psychological healing is the Queen of Olympus, Hera.

From the 19th to the 23rd, in four days, the three legions completed their assembly and were also undergoing repairs.

Robert, the Lord of Limits, dispatched corresponding supplies, weapons and ammunition, and transported them to the Trapper Star Zone through the space gate. They were then escorted by the Glory Iron Fist Battalion sent by Rogge and transferred to the Morning Star.

In addition, the three legions also took advantage of the period of gathering and repairing to quickly treat the lightly and seriously injured. The Raven Guard who fought against Xerath's fleet suffered the most serious casualties and losses among the three legions.

Therefore, while Rogge dispatched the Iron Fist Battalion to escort supplies and ammunition, he also sent two thousand reserves implanted in the Raven Guard's G gland to Daystar to temporarily supplement the Raven Guard's troops.

Moreover, Rogge also specially selected reservists who were responsible for stationing and patrolling at the borders of the Trapper Sector. This meant that these Astartes, who were less than twenty years old, already had a certain degree of combat experience, although they were not as good as those who fought with the original body. Elite, but barely adequate, not exactly a "new recruit."

Replenishment and repairs have been completed, and the three legions are ready for a raid.

Swish~-swish~-swish~-!

Two giant gates at the equator of the home world were seen, releasing matrix terminals with a length of three kilometers. Then, a total of one hundred and twenty matrix terminals quickly drifted to the front of the fleet.

These giant metal pillars were "placed" according to their respective positions, maintaining the same distance apart. In just two minutes, they formed a "○" circle with a diameter of 7,000 kilometers.

Immediately afterwards

Whoosh--whoosh--whoosh--!

The matrix terminals are connected in series by cyan-blue light. When the light circles around to form a complete "○" circle, then, the space circled by the matrix terminal begins to twist and change.

Finally, the space circled by the matrix terminal began to show the scene of another cosmic domain.

It is a simple stargate for fleets to quickly raid or transfer.

As soon as the star gate was opened and the status was confirmed to be stable, Sparta's shield world Leonidas moved first, from slow to fast, conducting regular navigation at a speed of about 300 kilometers per second, and passed through the star gate at a constant speed. , took the lead in arriving at the opposite universe.

Followed closely by the Spartan main fleet, with a total of more than 3,000 warships, and throwing away the original troops, a total of 20 battalions accompanied the original to participate in the raid.

Soon, all the main Spartan forces passed through the simple star gate.

Wait a little.

After confirming that there were no traces of fighting on the other side of the Star Gate, and ruling out ambushes and other factors, the Luna Wolves 1st Battalion, as well as the main force of the Raven Guard, and a total of more than a thousand battleships began to pass through.

However, the Raven Guard's Emperor's Shadow remained on standby and did not follow the fleet. It just stayed with more than 30 local naval vessels on the side of the Morning Star Universe.

It seems that before the official launch of the raid, the three primarchs John, Corax, and Horus should have had a brief war meeting.

The Spartans are responsible for the initial charge, the Raven Guard and the Luna Wolves are responsible for the coordination and support, and the Emperor's Shadow is responsible for staying behind to ensure that the simple star gate is complete and that their retreat will not be killed. The Lingwang Court cut it off.

The other end of the simple star gate.

Unknown space.

More than 4,000 warships spread out and lined up in the figure "eight" formation. At the forefront of the "eight" formation was the Leonidas.

And this space is dimmer than the space around the morning star, or compared to the space where most colonies are located. There are no stars, but there are large areas of "pink-orange" nebulae dozens of light-years away, which adds to this silence and atmosphere. Dull areas add color and brightness.

now.

The main control room of the Leonidas in the inner earth world.

"Pop!"

The sound of someone slapping his mouth hard resounded throughout the entire control room.

I saw a plague doctor wearing a black robe and a bird's beak mask. His left hand was holding the orange collar of a "person", and his right hand was constantly fanning the "person's" cheek, which could be described as "slapping".

The "person" was wearing an orange prison uniform reserved for D-class personnel, and his appearance was extremely ugly based on the aesthetics of humans and the Vaelin tribe.

And listen to the Plague Doctor slapping the "man" in the mouth while saying angrily: "Speak! Speak! Hurry up! How do we enter the world of the Royal Court! Ah! I'm still waiting to collect the fragments of the Star God! You know that's all it takes How torturing it is for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder to put together several fragments?! Ah! Speak!"

"Pah! Pah!" The mouth was still slapping.

"Um, doctor." At this time, Trazin, who was standing aside and had to wear a green floral shirt and shorts even though he was a metal skeleton, interjected at the right time:

"It's me, I know the coordinates of the Brilliant Star Map. Xerath is just entrusted by the Silent King Tumonsra to continue experiments on living life and find a solution that can reverse the state of the Necronomicon Dynasty."

"Ah yes, tut."

After hearing what Trazin said, the plague doctor realized that he seemed to have slapped the wrong "person".

As for the "person" who was scolded and slapped by the plague doctor for no reason, and who had no nose bridge, it was the logic of thinking, that is, Xerath whose consciousness was forced into the body of the Necrontyr.

At this moment, Xerath's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he was lying weakly on the metal floor of the main control room, and he was staring at the metal ceiling with a "lifeless" look.

Yes, Xerath was experimented and operated on by Plague Doctor and Trazin, causing it to regain a living body.

Even in a body without a soul, Xerath can still clearly feel the pain.

Although it was extremely excited and joyful at first, after all, it and the Necron have not experienced the "body sense" thing for so long that the memory storage device can no longer describe the feeling in detail, so Xerath's excitement and joy were not masochistic tendencies.

However, as the Plague Doctor tortured it with a series of special methods, Xerath just wanted to die as soon as possible. It did not think that the Plague Doctor had a poor memory. It was certain that the Plague Doctor just found a reason to ravage it at will.

As for the reason why Xerath was not scrapped, it was not just for the fun of Plague Doctor and Trazin. This was just additional content. The real purpose was to use the Necron Overlord to conduct experiments and fully prepare for the subsequent real reversal technology.

The several original bodies responsible for the raid, as well as Artemis, Wanda Maximoff and the commanders of each battalion, were surrounding the central console, using the holographic star map and the artificial intelligence of their respective legions. Intelligence to analyze the specific situation of the universe.

Hearing the noise not far away, as the elder brother of all the original bodies present, John turned his head slightly and said: "Doctor, if you don't mind, please send the alien named Xerath back to the laboratory. .”

"Now that John Little John has spoken, I'll just do it."

The plague doctor pretended to feel sorry for him, and raised his hand to ask the technicians to drag Xerath away. The plague doctor knew that he had to give John face at this time, so he swallowed back the title of "boy".

Who says he doesn't understand the ways of the world?

It's just that sometimes I get confused.

Seeing that the plague doctor was very cooperative, John turned his attention to Trazin and said in a serious tone: "Since you provided the coordinates of the universe, please continue to help us how to get to the Palace of the Dead that guards the dazzling star map. , remember, I will not ask this question a second time."

"Of course not. I don't want to offend the respected original body. Haha, come on, let me guide everyone in the direction." Trazin smiled in his tone, then walked to the center console and performed some operations to make the original The star map is replaced by another scene that emits a faint green light.

It seems to be a five-dimensional space?

"Everyone." At this time, Trazin restrained his previous smiling tone, and used "its" pair of empty eyes emitting green fluorescence to scan the people present, and said in a deep voice with a metallic tone:

"The Court of the Dead that oversees the Brilliant Star Map is headed by a dynasty that calls itself Opatara and is commanded by Farah Xun Barahir."

"Farrahson Barahir?" Anakin muttered to himself in confusion, feeling that the name was a bit convoluted.

"The child is not Farah Xun, but Farah Xun Baraher." Trazin taught seriously.

"Is this Farah a title similar to that of King of France or Overlord?" Anakin asked.

"That's right, Farah is our honorific title for the female King of France."
