Chapter 530 4.48 Star Torch

【Terra】

Dorn was half-kneeling in front of the steps of the Golden Throne, his face as tight as a rock.

[Father, Vulkan and I are ready to relight the star torch. 】

The man on the throne did not move. Dorn raised his head and stared at the solemn face of the Lord of Mankind. Countless golden flames rose around the emperor, but it was still not as dizzying as the emperor himself.

+ Get ready to rekindle. +

Donn nodded, [Yes. 】

Without any nostalgia, Dorn strode away from here.

The lumen balls in the palace corridors reflected the stubborn stones on the ground. The Imperial Fists waiting outside followed Dorn's footsteps. They walked under the intricate palace to relight the star torch.

Just like when Dorn extinguished the Star Torch with his own hands.

Originally, the Emperor ordered him to extinguish the Star Torch within twenty-four hours.

Extinguishing the Star Torch, the original body clearly understood the consequences of this. Those ships sailing in the subspace will not be able to return, the astropaths will lose control, and the countless defense lines that are connected by communication will be directly defeated. .

Many people will die in this step, and Dorn knows this very well.

But this is the Emperor's order.

He is the Imperial Fist that defends the palace, and he is the stubborn stone that guards the Emperor's will. Dorn didn't say anything, he just asked his questions as usual. After getting the Emperor's answer, he set off to go The star torch is extinguished.

This process did not go smoothly. He had a fight with Vulkan who ran out and cried bitterly. The Lord of the Fire Dragon tried his best to persuade the Emperor to give up this step. Dorn didn't do anything else. He just knocked him over. Vulkan, knock him out and continue on his way.

The Immortals came next to stop him, and Dorne had to fight again, but he still succeeded.

The last person to stand in the way of Dorn was the Astropath. Extinguishing the Star Torch would mean that the Astropath would lose countless outstanding working astropaths, as well as the family of navigators who had a complicated relationship with the Astropath.

Faced with the aggressive questioning, accusations, and attacks from the leaders of the Star Court, Dorn did not compromise.

Finally, the psyker who was pinned to the wall by the Imperial Fist and equipped with a restraining psionic device looked at Dorne fiercely and scolded,

"After this, the Star Language Court will never provide services to the Imperial Fists!!!"

【OK. 】

Dorn said, and then he left, rushing to complete his mission before the last second came.

And now, three months after the Star Torch was extinguished and Terra was at peace, the Emperor ordered Dorn to relight the Star Torch.

Dorn, who was immersed in strengthening the defenses of Terra, raised his head from the construction site, came to the emperor again, and accepted the order.

No doubts, no doubts, no confusions.

Because he is Rogal Dorn.

Rogal Dorn was chosen by the Emperor to guard Terra.

Dorn knew that the war had broken out. He knew that above Terra, in the distant Eye of Fear, fratricide was taking place on the lake. He knew that to the east of the empire, the dark side of the empire was worse than death because of its fall.

Countless armies are gathering and rushing towards the battlefield, trying to win this battle, but there will not be an Imperial Fist among the armies participating in the battle - because they have to defend Terra.

Turning a corner again, Dorn saw Vulkan. Vulkan had been sent to the Webway by the Emperor before. Dorn didn't know what Vulkan was doing specifically, but now, the Emperor ordered Vulkan to Assist Dorne to relight the Star Torch.

Vulkan swallowed and walked towards Dorn with some guilt.

[Sorry, brother. 】

"I understand," Dorn said as they walked toward the Hollow Mountains. "Did he tell you when the star torch would be lit?" 】

Vulkan nodded, but Dorn saw the uncertainty in the Fire Dragon Lord's eyes, and Vulkan said hesitantly,

[He asked me to see for myself, to discover the truth in the cracks of the Webway. I saw many incomprehensible existences, darkness, labyrinths, the shining and broken Sanguinius... But I think I know when to click again. Bright star torch. 】

Vulkan opened his mouth,

[On the other side where the constant sun and the bright moon set together, on the other side where darkness and the tide rise together, in order to no longer sleep, people need to light up the lamps of the stars. 】

Donne frowned without trace, [There is no word to describe time here. 】

Vulkan opened his mouth wide, then closed it, then opened it again, like a dehydrated fish, [This is... This is a metaphor. I can't interpret them, but I know that as long as I see it - I know it will be That moment. 】

【What do you think? 】

Dorn asked, Vulkan took a few anxious steps and said, [Intuition. 】

[Okay,] Dorn said, [you will tell me when to light the star torch. 】

Vulkan paused and stood there, but immediately caught up with Dorn, "Don't you ask me something else?" 】

Vulkan looked at Dorn and his eyes moved to his face, and he looked at Vulcan carefully for a while.

[You are Vulkan. You have not betrayed me. The Emperor ordered me to ask you the time. 】

Donn said, [What do I need to ask, Vulkan? 】

Vulkan looked like he wanted to say something, but the Fire Dragon Lord said nothing in the end. He followed Dorn dejectedly.

[...I'm sorry for my impulsive actions at that time. 】

"What you did at that time was indeed wrong, absolutely wrong," Donn said, "If I weren't stronger than you, you would have caused the failure of the entire plan. 】

Vulkan sighed. Dorn still couldn't speak. He said nothing more and followed Dorn into the hall.

There, the Imperial Fists have prepared a hundred thousand psykers.

They are all the fuel for the next Star Torch.

Vulkan felt his eyes moisten again, but he didn't say anything. He turned away cowardly, trying not to look at the pleading expressions of the psychics.

He saw people in religious clothes in the distance. Vulkan was confused as to why those people were accompanied by several Blood Angel warriors stationed in Terra, but this time, he said nothing.

He stood beside Dorn as they climbed into the elevator and headed toward the surface of the Hollow Mountains.

Finally, the two Primarchs stood, standing on the desolate and cold land of Terra, waiting for the moment to rekindle the Star Torch.

Above their heads, the giant eye was flashing.
