Before any leader of the battle squad opened his mouth, a hot beam of light flashed between them, and the dazzling flames were leaping with the light of bright stars.
All kinds of inexplicable images and breath emerge from the column of light, the smell of incense, the burning flesh and blood, and the machinery that beeps in abundant energy.
Accompanied by a dull and loud noise of air dislocation echoing in the strategic room, the beam of light suddenly disappeared.
A tall giant wearing silver armor as thick as granite and light yellow skin stood there. His face was like a carving, with awesome momentum and majesty and justice visible to the naked eye.
"Cardo Diego, the Supreme Mentor..."
Azriel was the first to react. He immediately recognized the sudden appearance of the giant, so he moved his hand away from the handle of the gun and whispered:
"...why did he come."
“This ends here.”
The serious warrior looked around and then said loudly:
"Don't be impulsive."
He stood between Soshyan and Hellard, like a referee in a boxing match.
When Soshiyang looked at the mysterious man's face, he noticed that the other person's eyes were filled with sadness and a rather tired look.
The opponent's Terminator armor is like most of the gray knights, but the color is darker, like a huge rock that has been sleeping under the ocean for countless years. Each perfectly made armor is engraved with some ancient text. A thick book is carved on the shoulder armor on the left, and a sword-shaped shield hanging on the front. His right shoulder armor is covered with scripture strips, which flutters in the breeze generated during teleportation, and a burgundy cloak hung on his shoulder.
Looking down, Soshiyang saw a thick book wrapped in chains hanging around the other party's waist, which made Soshiyang look a little familiar.
Although this person looks unarmed at the moment, Soshiyang felt a huge deterrent from the other party.
"Great mentor!"
Hellard growled, but did not recover much coldness.
"I must defend the honor of the Order!"
"So you want to face the loyal warriors of the Empire?"
Hellard gritted his teeth and held his fingers to the hilt wrapped in leather.
"But he—"
"I heard all your conversation just now."
After the mysterious warrior finished speaking, he sighed lightly, and shook his head.
"This time...we were wrong."
"Great Mentor--"
"You have to calm down, brother, anger is of no benefit to anyone. If you let it blind your soul, then when it fades, all you get is regret."
Hearing these words, Soshiyang's face also softened, at least he was a reasonable person.
Just as the situation eased slightly, Lord Magyar suddenly sneered and said.
"If each of you was so sensible, the thing about Shame Moon would not happen again, otherwise I wouldn't mind imitating the Space Wolf once."
Hellard raised his head and laughed, a deafening roar full of rage.
"You stupid guys, if you want to provoke, then I will respond with a sword too!!"
"Magyar! Enough!"
The mysterious warrior turned his head and sternly said to Lord Magyar:
"Isn't this time to argue about these things? Will it help us to fall into a despicable quarrel like a mortal? We are the messengers of the emperor, and we must be shining examples, showing all the beauty and purity of the empire! If we know that we are quarreling like shrews here, how can the mortals still have the confidence to fight against the enemy!?"
Soshiyang sighed, realizing the current situation, and was ashamed of his allowing the situation so violently beyond control.
There is really nothing worse than brothers who are slaughtering each other.
The mysterious warrior seemed to shine with inner light, glorious and holy, and his heart, which had just been filled with rage, was comforted. Hellard slightly lowered the weapons in his hand, and the defensive postures of other commanders also relaxed.
"What I just said is too much, sorry."
Soshyan said softly, then reached out to Hellard.
"I should listen to your explanation first."
"Actually you are right. The responsibility for the whole thing is indeed with me. I should...at least say hello."
Hellard lowered the frost giant sword in his hand, his anger subsided, and then grabbed Soshiyang's hand.
"I apologize for this, too."
Finally, the tense atmosphere dissipated, and Soshiyang was finally able to focus on the mysterious man. Only then did he remember that he didn't even know what the other party was called.
But before he could speak, Azriel greeted the other party first.
"Diago's mentor, I didn't expect to meet again in this place."
"Long time no see, Commander of Azriel."
Perhaps seeing the confused expression on Soshyan's face, Azriel turned around and looked at him and introduced him:
"This is the current Supreme Mentor of the Grey Knight, Cardo Diego."
When Soshiyang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to the other party.
"Good luck."
Diago also smiled and shook Soshiyang's hand.
"Soshyan Alexey, I have heard of your name early on. The young people today are really amazing. In the future, the empire will be supported by you."
"Where are you the pillar of the empire."
Soshiyan praised the other party with sincere humility, and Diego really deserves this praise.
Cardo Diego, of unknown age, is the 48th Grand Tutor of the Grey Knight. He has had brilliant achievements in many battles, and the most famous of them is the exile of the Demon Primros Motarian.
In the Battle of Cornowin in 901.M41, Motarian, who was promoted to the Demon Prince, killed Diego's former commander and many other Gray Knights who tried to exile him. Diego, who witnessed Motarian's slaughter of his brothers, was extremely angry and attacked the already wounded Demon Primros.
When Diego told the real name that the emperor originally gave Motarian, Motarian was defeated, and the real body of the Demon Primrose was removed from the ground. Diego engraved the name of the former great mentor on Motarian's heart, so that Motarian would never forget this shame. Diego was also promoted to the highest mentor of the Gray Knight with this merit.
However, during the second battle with the demon prince ‘Rebirth’ Mka, Diyago was cursed and trapped in the subspace, and disappeared from the imperial record for a long time.
This is why Azriel seemed very surprised when he appeared, because the great mentor had disappeared in physical space for decades.
There is even a saying that the highest Grey Knight mentor has been killed, but the Grey Knights have never chosen a new Great Mentor. However, because the Grey Knight itself is secret, Cardo Diego is even more mysterious. Therefore, only the Dark Angels, the well-informed startup team knows these details, and many Astart doesn't even know that he exists.
