Warhammer 40k: Lust of Light

At this moment, a company of Space Marines is staying on Naiwei.

These Astartes have been lost in the warp for more than eighteen years, which is not a long number.

Since the Iron Man Rebellion, the warp has become increasingly unstable, and the endless warp storms have begun to disrupt the expansion and development of the Empire.

The warp is a chaotic place that can accommodate both matter and spirit, and an indescribable field of time and space chaos.

Its time and space disorder is used by many civilizations for long-distance voyages in the starry sea.

The Milky Way is too big. A star region is as big as a cube of starry sky with a side length of 200 light years. It is impossible for the Imperial Fleet to fly over slowly.

All voyages are completed by the warp engine.

The warp engine will bring the warship into the warp, and shorten the space and time gap to the destination through the warp.

But the disadvantages are obvious. After all, the warp is the domain of the Chaos Gods. The four main gods and a large number of secondary gods are there to spy on these little bugs that come in and out of their sight.

It is possible to get lost in the warp for a short time or even permanently.

Therefore, there are special psykers like navigators, but unfortunately, these psykers cannot guarantee the absolute stability and safety of navigation.

Gavial Loken, the captain of the 10th Company of the Luna Wolves, is the highest officer among the people present.

At this moment, they are staying on the surface of Naiwei, which has a complete ecosystem, roasting sweet potatoes around the stove.

The Astra Militarum and some mortal servants who are sailing in the warp with the Luna Wolves are in a very bad situation at the moment.

In the warp, people will hear a lot of whispers. These incomprehensible voices will cause extremely terrible harm to mortals who are not strong enough, and even cause special attacks to psykers.

Even some Luna Wolves have partial body mutations.

This captain with short golden hair and scars on his face looks very weathered. On the surface, he looks quite calm, even if he is very panicked inside.

His appearance is very different from the other Luna Wolves around him.

Almost every Space Marine Legion has genetic defects, and the Luna Wolves are no exception.

After completing the Astartes transformation surgery in their youth, the Space Marines of the Luna Wolves will grow more and more like their original masters.

Loken does not have this defect, but he is not rejected by his brothers. He can become the captain of the 10th Company of the Luna Wolves, which also shows that he has extraordinary personal charm and military accomplishment.

Next to Loken is a Nai Star official who is supported by many Astartes.

Now, he is sitting next to the fire with a tingling scalp, watching Loken eating roasted sweet potatoes without peeling the sweet potato skin.

"Dear Emperor Angel, I have told you what I know twenty-one times, really, I really don't know anything else."

This Nai Star official especially hates his own talkativeness.

He followed the Governor to greet these pale cans the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect that the captain with an even paler face at the head would press him here because of his talkativeness, and almost strangled him to death.

That sentence was...

"Another group of people who lost their material providers..."

Before he finished speaking, he was surrounded by Space Marines with loaded bolt guns, and then he was carried to Loken pitifully.

Then he told the stories of the well-known material providers over and over again.

All the material providers who participated in the war had the same appearance. They gave all the legions a kind of warmth that should not have been there. They gave guidance to these Space Marines fighting on the front line again and again.

They...

They would sacrifice themselves to cover the rear in the most desperate moments, so that every Astartes could evacuate as much as possible.

This almost made Loken and his fighting brothers excited so much that their blood accelerated and their hearts beat wildly.

Because they had experienced this personally!

Nineteen years ago, their material provider came to them. At first, everyone didn't care much about this quartermaster.

But as time passed, the material provider gradually changed them.

There was even a conflict between them.

Some things later began to make them have a big change in their views on the material provider.

They specially sent several Astartes to guard their material providers, which was the company's weapons, medical care and food guarantee.

But when they were in a bitter battle on a brutal battlefield, he persuaded the Astartes who were guarding him to rush into the battlefield together.

The 10th Company should have lost 80% of its personnel in that battle, but in the end only seven people died.

He shuttled between the dying and the wounded, and he did not even let go of the Astra Militarum.

When they felt the power in their bodies again, the scorching air on the planet, and the warmth of the food handed over by the material provider, they began to be convinced.

They had been with him for only more than three months, but the vivid memories he created were engraved deep in their minds.

"Muweili Planet..."

An Astarte recalled that planet, the planet submerged by the sea of ​​heresy.

They were ready to sacrifice. The scale of that battle was too large, and it was not something that a company could handle at all. It was a hunting ground specifically for them.

At that time, the material provider stood up, and his body radiated a dim light. The aliens and the ugly monsters around them that would return to the battlefield after death screamed and screamed outside the light, and crawled on the ground.

then……

They saw a nightmare they never wanted to experience again in their lives.

The body of the material provider began to be ignited by some kind of light and turned into a plasma state.

In a calm and gentle "goodbye", everyone in the entire 10th Company scattered on the planet, including battleships and even various heavy firepower, were wrapped in multiple subspace vortexes that appeared at the same time, and left the planet.

When Loken and many brothers looked back, they only saw the dim light extinguished, and the last plasma state disappeared in the wind.

Half a month later, they went to the next planet. Everyone vented their anger in that battle, and they felt a little more confused.

This led to what happened to them when they entered the subspace after their victory, so that they became lost and lost contact with the Empire for more than ten years.

In the battleship, there is a large amount of food that they once made for them in their lost glory, which is placed in a food insurance warehouse. These sweet potatoes are what he left behind. Lorcan and his brothers like this sweet starchy potato very much. .

The Astartes who took off their helmets and ate sweet potatoes were collectively silent.

Their material providers are most likely the same as those of other legions.

He made the same choice for every company in every legion.

In the eyes of those people, he turned into plasma and finally died on a certain planet.

The silence was interrupted by an unpleasant guy.

"Everyone...the Emperor's Angels!"

Salic still resisted saying the words "Wisdom Emperor".

"Governor Naixing."

Loken stood up, his attitude was condescending.

Salic had no grievances and any Astartes deserved the respect of the governors.

"Dear angels, I have just received a document from the Empire. It is an order from the great Emperor."

Salic followed the lead.

The eyes of Loken and many loyal Luna Wolves lit up.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor, is there any new combat mission that requires the Luna Wolves?"

"Angels, in fact, this mission is not explicitly assigned to you. This is actually my request, a request from an ordinary imperial governor who is loyal to the empire and the emperor."

Salic's words made many Astartes lose interest.

Some Astartes even felt that their index finger hadn't been close to the trigger for a long time.

Salic spoke faster.

"That's it. The empire issued an order for me to sign a peace agreement on behalf of the empire with a hive world called Liting in this sector."

Salic deliberately did not explain the matter clearly and in detail.

"What do you mean?"

Loken's attention was drawn again, and he dug out the details in Salic's words.

Belonging to the Empire, why should we sign a peace agreement with the Empire?

"Dear company commander, that world will declare its independence with the approval of the empire."

Salic lowered his head and stretched out his neck, aiming for the Astartes.

Loken stood up suddenly, startling the officials next to him. The other Astartes began to think that bolt guns were too cheap for this nonsense governor.

When Loken came to him, Salic took out the document with double security marks.

Loken used the method of the Luna Wolf to decipher the third layer of anti-counterfeiting marks.

Finally, he raised his right hand, signaling the Astartes behind him to put down their weapons against the Governor.

"it is true."

Loken never expressed his emotions and anger in words, and his calm tone did not represent his true inner state.

The other Astartes were so shocked that they looked at their brothers from left to right, looking at each other in confusion. They were confirming whether they heard correctly and whether this was some kind of hallucination caused by the sequelae of the subspace trek.

Loken stuffed the hot sweet potato in his hand into his mouth.

"What do we need to do?"

Wearing power armor, he stood in front of Salic, feeling oppressive, as if he could punch the young ruler to death in the next second.

"I think we should strive harder for the interests of the empire. The content of the peace agreement is not detailed. I think you can lend me a little bit of strength to make this world called Liting, even after independence, Also shrouded in the glory of the empire.”

Salic was hiding something, and the document he handed to Loken was missing one piece.

The less important one made it clear - this document came from Malcador, and was personally ordered by the Emperor, and required respect for Li Ting.

In fact, this document may have been originally a document, but it was interfered with by some special force when it arrived at Naixing.

"We will."

Loken's eyes are still calm, but the Luna Wolf warriors who are familiar with him all know that their company commander is becoming more and more dangerous to the enemy!
