Warhammer: Start with a dog

The deadly blue-band radiation of Sthenelos blue supergiant hangs high above the gloomy and thick lead-like clouds of pollution and steam, and only a little faint brightness is used to illuminate the rugged and dusty ground of the planet Medusa. .

A black hawk lets out a long cry in the white clouds above the Hollow Mountains.

Fulgrim Ishtar came to his senses in his amniotic fluid chamber.

His remaining lips from the body gifted by the Son of Dorne moved, and more stimulation allowed his spirit to recover from the mechanical and callousness that hinted at him. He once again felt the cold temperature around him.

"The temperature control system still needs to be adjusted slightly to be comfortable, otherwise it will affect the speed of my sword by about one hundredth of a millisecond." He thought this way, and then quickly obtained two new ones in his outer logic circuit. think.

"——Negative. The probability that a battle may occur or require high-speed movement within one hundred and twenty standard Terra hours after this second is estimated to be as high as 66.11%. As a backup cooling procedure, the amniotic fluid chamber's The temperature cycle tube should not raise its own temperature prematurely.”

"——Negative, your main weapon is now set to the Medusa-type high-energy plasma cannon, and your melee weapon is currently set to the power claw with a built-in incineration cannon."

"——Warning, the radiation level in Sterneros is becoming unstable, and it is predicted that the stratigraphic folding activity is about to start again, and more vehicles, soldiers and tribes are approaching the Kalash Mountains."

"Yes, you are right." He murmured to some being in his own little environment.

"Thanks, I always forget to do more advance estimates like them, even though my system can do that. Thank you, Garuda."

The golden mechanical bird's sharp curved claws clung tightly to the Contemptor's sacred Dreadnought pauldrons, seemingly motionless, like a decorative craft bird.

But Fulgrim Ishtar could hear a chirp coming to him from the link between both sides in the form of an electric sound: a sign of affirmation, a little joy, and a reminder not to forget next time.

He nodded silently in the amniotic fluid chamber to his unseen partner.

Then the iron feet, now painted black and bearing the mark of the Iron Hand, led Fulgrim to move from the unique diorite rock here - this special and super-hard ground prevented him from being exposed. I despise the actual weight of the body.

The observation position they found for him today was very good. On this ground, he could safely fill up all kinds of attack and defense methods under his metal shell - forget about escaping, unless he could think of a way to let him go. He and Garuda flew out of the entire Sterneros galaxy together.

——In addition to the Medusa homeworld and the Iron Hands fleet dock above it, there is also a Mechanicum research world, a Mechanicum research station, and finally an Iron Hand running on several planetary orbits in this galaxy. My own detection and surveillance station maintains a high level of vigilance at the outermost edge of the galaxy.

The reason why he didn't dare to install more modules when the ground strength was not enough was because Fulgrim knew very well that absolutely everyone among the senior officers of the Iron Hand here had eyes and ears in all directions - they Those little secrets that violate the orders of the Primarch, the close connection with Mars and the ultra-high degree of mechanization of the clan company itself are enough to support their 360-degree sensor analysis function. As a disguise, his weight cannot exceed his should Some weight, because in theory any modifications to him were made by the Iron Fathers.

And although I only have one little secret...well.

But one is enough. Fulgrim Ishtar has no intention of explaining to the Iron Fathers where he came from as a phoenix and asking them politely on Medusa, the home planet of the loyalist Iron Hands. Is it possible to send yourself back to find the Iron Blood of the Iron Warriors?

The sounds of many slight collisions between machinery and rocks, the buzzing operation of super giant anti-gravity vehicles, the sound of sand and rocks on the ground being blown away and hitting everywhere, and the noise of the ultra-high-intensity communication electromagnetic pulse unique to the Iron Hands all surged together. got into his ears.

Although his current hearing cannot exceed that of his original extraordinary body, the Lyman Ear of the Space Marines and the Dreadnought Sensing Collection System modified by the Primarch himself still allow him to analyze the sound from the sound better than others. Lots of stuff.

It's a "Hall of Conquest" that's coming here. He thought, which clan?

Then he skillfully but not subconsciously wrote his question in an encrypted binary code, and sent his inquiry to the guards of the Karagu clan (or his virtual jailers) who were standing guard around him. .

Soon a reply came respectfully but coldly: the person who came was none other than Malkan Feros, the most maverick among the Iron Hands but also widely respected by the warriors and clans (especially after the Battle of the Highland Years). One of the fathers of steel.

Oh, Phoenix Fire, why is it him?

Fulgrim felt a headache coming on.

In fact, after he woke up in the dark, cold and terrifying resting warehouse in the Gorgon Forge, there were nominally a huge number of Iron Hands Dreadnoughts - but in fact there were many other "things".

In shock, Fulgrim probably spent 3 standard seconds to determine what was in front of him, and spent more seconds to force his reason to control his anger and desire to kill - he and Ga Lou Luo's anger and shock impacted each other, but they quickly calmed down and began to analyze their situation.

In the end, the ability and knowledge of a Primarch, coupled with his own power (although the accuracy will be slightly reduced in the hands of Dreadnought), I am still very grateful to Perturabo here for installing a pair of relics for him. High-precision powered bionic hand) hands-on ability and some powerful assistance from Garuda who landed here with him.

——For example, as a crew member of the Sisyphus who actually acted and watched the entire journey from beginning to end, the Garuda Bird provided Fulgrim with an almost perfect set of identity codes: Sobek Wieland, The Iron Hands, the Broken Legion, were members of the Iron Hands who fought with Nikon Sarrokin on the Sisyphus and remained until the end. They were also the Iron Fathers from 10,000 years ago.

This identity is almost perfect, because their other comrades, including Captain Brendan and Captain Taylor of the Sisyphus, had already fallen on their way out. In order for Nikon Sharokin to take the Original Blood Fleeing Luna from the traitorous Sons of Horus—

The whole process recorded by Garuda allowed Fulgrim to know the original Wilander's final path. He sincerely held a small ceremony to commemorate this hero and other heroes in his amniotic fluid chamber. .

"They deserve to be remembered."

The only question was how to explain his presence here, in Medusa's crypt.

Fulgrim and Garuda reluctantly proved that they were Wieland who had been salvaged from a world destroyed by orcs and then unconsciously buried in the Dreadnought, using a "just damaged" transport document.

Although he knew that there were still many people who doubted his identity, after all, although there was no doubt, in the hands of Steel, who were supreme in logic and calculation, his incident that seemed to be closely related to supernatural power was the biggest doubt.

But thanks to the fact that Garuda clearly witnessed the entire journey of the Sisyphus, and the ancient divine fearlessness indeed witnessed the heroic appearance of Captain Brendan carrying Garuda——

Therefore, he, Fulgrim Ishtar, the Lord of the Third Legion, the returned Phoenix, is currently on the home planet of the Iron Hands, Medusa, as the latest active holy fearless cum of the Hamonk clan. The Iron Father Sobek Wieland event has successfully survived its ninth day.

During these nine days, he successfully used various tricks (plus more electronic fog, false and sophisticated logic codes, trap languages, etc.) to get past the inspections by members of the Hammonk clan and other Iron Fathers. conversation, and the embarrassment of the Mechanic Priest who wants to know the secret.

Malkan Feros was the last hurdle he had to overcome.
