Warhammer 40,000: Mortal Gods

"Your predecessor was the Thunder Warrior, right?"

"Is it the kind of Thunder Warrior I know, or is it the Thunder Warrior created by your own sector and has the same name as my father's creation?"

Guilliman is not interested in the nicknames of these super warriors now. He is more interested in knowing the origins of these super warriors.

"These six people are all Tyrones. They were just elite veterans of the Tyrone Army before."

"Most of the new Thunder Warriors are like them."

"But there are five others who are not, including me, who were improved by the Thunder Warriors from the Terra Unification War."

"Praise be to the Lord of Tyron, praise be to the gods of Tyron."

The six-man combat team marched neatly in the downward corridor, killing enemies who dared to block the way in front of them or who were arranged to ambush in the rooms on both sides of the corridor.

Bendis, who was behind the six-man combat team, was coordinating the overall situation while explaining to Guilliman.

When he heard that five people, including Bendis, were really Thunder Warriors who participated in the Terran Unification War, Guilliman had a very clear look of surprise on his face.

If Bendis did not lie, then this means that the five of them have survived from the time of the Unification War to the present.

Among the many instability problems of Thunder Warriors is the issue of lifespan.

"How is this possible? Your life span..."

"The five of us are a little special. We got lost in the subspace, and when we come out it will be ten thousand years later."

Bendis explained patiently.

"But we are still very old, so old that we have Alzheimer's disease, so old that we can't stop breathing even a few steps."

"Then because of our performance in the Comoros War, we received a gift and we were reborn."

After hearing this, Guilliman thought to himself that this was the case.

The two moved on.

During this period, Bendis pierced the thick wall on the left side of the corridor with a spear, and stabbed a new human warrior hiding behind the wall holding a melt weapon.

"About you Thunder Warriors..." Guilliman said, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Of course Bendis wanted to ask, that is, he didn't know what the outcome of the Thunder Warriors would be after he and Gunter left Terra.

He once heard Li Sun, the rogue trader who saved them, say that the Thunder Warriors would be eliminated in the end, but this was just a simple sentence, and he wanted to know the whole story.

So Bendis asked.

And Guilliman told what he knew.

"Some Thunder Warriors were unwilling to accept their fate of being abandoned, so they prepared to rebel."

"The Forbidden Army went to eliminate the rebels. On the ice peaks of the Himalayas, your commander Usotan and the Forbidden Army commander Waldo started a duel."

"At that time, Usotan, who only held a big knife, and the heavily armed Waldo fought hard, and even broke Waldo's breastplate... This is the fighting power of your Thunder Warriors, but in the end Waldo was still killed Usotan."

After listening to Guilliman's story, Bendis fell silent.

Usotan, his most beloved commander.

This Thunder Warrior Commander possesses a humanity that the Custodes and the Astartes do not possess.

Bendis's impression of Usotan is that he is humorous and decisive, a military commander full of charisma.

But he ended up dying under the sword of the Forbidden Army.

"I've always wondered what kind of man Usotan was," Guilliman asked.

"I'm not qualified to judge him." Bendis lowered his head, "I'm just a coward who ran away."

Just a coward who ran away.

If someone else said this to Bendis, Bendis would have a thousand reasons to refute it, but he didn't want to explain that much to Guilliman.

When Gaunt made the decision to escape Terra, the storm was already coming.

People in the Thunder Warrior army are panicked. Some people think that everyone should accept the emperor's decision peacefully, because he is the emperor and the master of every Thunder Warrior.

Some people think that the emperor is simply a black-hearted tyrant, because the Thunder Warriors have achieved so many achievements in the unification war, but they are being blamed by him.

Some people think that the Emperor will not kill all the Thunder Warriors. As long as everyone puts down their weapons and believes in the Emperor, the most they will end up with is retiring on Terra.

Some people are more radical and believe that they should go to the emperor now to ask for an explanation, or even kill the tyrant.

Gunter, the most respected officer of Bendis, believed that the Emperor was just trying to kill the donkey, so he hated him, but he did not want to ruin the situation where Terra had ended the conflict, so he chose to bring him with him and he must be responsible for it. Five of his men left Terra.

In short, at that time all kinds of news were flying all over the sky, and the situation was very complicated.

As for Usotan... Bendis loved him and admired him, but also believed that his choice at that juncture might have caused Terra to fall into strife again and its people to be at war again.

Bendis thought a lot, but he didn't want to share his thoughts because he felt that Guilliman would probably not analyze and feel the difficulties and complex emotions faced by both parties from a neutral position, and then blindly accuse Usotan is a rebel leader, a bastard with no guarantee of survival.

"If the person responsible for dealing with the Thunder Warriors is not the Custodes but me." Guilliman suddenly said, "I will go to the barracks of your Thunder Warriors alone, without any guards or weapons, without any armor, and then Talk to Usotan.”

"Usotan is a respectable military leader. He will not kill me or use me to blackmail my father."

"And I will tell you that you will indeed be abandoned, but that is because you have genetic defects. Your mission has been completed."

"You will live on Terra until the end of your short lifespan."

Hearing this, Bendis stopped.

The new commander of the Thunder Warriors asked in disbelief: "Why are you so naive? You don't think that Commander Usotan and those who followed him drew their swords because they didn't want to die in the hands of the Emperor, right? Thunder The Warriors are a military group, let them lay down their weapons and retire? Why don't you tell the Astropaths and Navigators to get out of the High Lords Council immediately?"

"I will do what I say, but I don't think you will obey me honestly." Guilliman said, "At least when all kinds of news are flying around and you are guessing, I can give you some advice. An accurate message to win over those of you who are unwilling to rebel but are coerced by speculation."

Bendis was silent for a moment and nodded: "Communication and communication are the most important things, surpassing everything else. The Lord of Tyrone also said the same."

"So, can you open your heart to me and communicate about everything?" Guilliman extended his hand to Bendis, "After all, we will be working together for a long time in the future."

Bendis held Guilliman's hand without hesitation: "Of course. Without a doubt."

I wrote it with all my strength on my keyboard, three chapters to come, and three more to come. This time I bought three optical axis keyboards, which are particularly durable. The previous electrostatic capacitive keyboard was able to be used intensively to write three hundred chapters, which is already a blessing from the keyboard god.
