From the outside, Quanzhou Palace looks like a huge towering castle, but after entering the interior, Soshyan realized that it was indeed a palace.
The culture of Chegoris is very different from the mainstream culture of the empire. Inside the outer barrier composed of rock and steel, most of them are wooden buildings. The tall towers inside are all octagonal and are paved layer by layer with golden glazed tiles.
Looking up, the entire main building of Quanzhou Palace has an outstretched front eaves, four pillars, and a long corridor surrounding it, giving it an antique feel.
Soshyan passed through one hall after another, and many trophies obtained by the White Scars in battles since the Legion era were displayed and placed in the hall, from primitive daggers to alien war blades as tall as a person, and even
There are also sharp claws of some arthropods.
Afterwards, they entered a spacious front hall from the corridor. The ceiling of the front hall was covered with shining crystals. Many attendants in fur robes stood in front of the walls, holding incense burners.
On the far wall, the Legion's lightning logo is embedded in the snow-white stone slab.
Below the lightning mark are huge Adamant metal explosion-proof doors. These doors lead to the audience room of Quanzhou Palace. Two Terminators hold heavy swords and guard the entrance like door gods. Their faces are hidden in the sloping grille of the power armor.
On the back, the helmet is decorated with horsehair dyed black.
As the blast door opened, Soshyan followed Subodeng Khan into this exotic hall.
The hall is very large, estimated to be seven or eight hundred square meters, with conspicuous red columns and metal grilles. But the most eye-catching thing is that the walls around the hall are hung with huge tapestries made of countless animal skins, almost like a tapestry.
The walls of the entire palace were covered, making it look like a huge tent.
However, there are several opposite windows on the soft curtain partitions on each side, lined with lake gauze, which makes it transparent.
The central axis of the hall was paved with a checkered red carpet, and at the end was a huge metal brazier. Soshyan moved forward along this line.
The place smelled of leather, furnaces, and incense, and the flames burned in the braziers, burning the metal walls black. The halls were filled with mysterious runes of Chegoris from the ceiling to the floor.
On both sides of the red carpet, white-scarred Khans stood with their fraternity badges on their shoulder pads. All eyes were focused on Soshyan, with scrutiny, speculation, and curiosity.
Across the brazier, Soshyan saw a huge ivory-colored throne high up at the end of the hall. It must have belonged to the original body, but it had been vacant for nearly ten thousand years.
There is another stalwart warrior standing on the steps lower than the throne. His face is like a heavy date, his lips are greased, there is a lightning-shaped scar on his cheek, and only a short braid hangs down on his bald head.
Behind his head, he was squinting his eyes slightly, stroking his long beard and looking at Soshyan.
Without any introduction, Soshyan could guess that this was the current leader of the White Scars Chapter, Juba Khan.
Although Juba Khan has the same name as another Khan of the Great Crusade era legion, he is a new generation in the 41st Millennium. After the previous Great Khan's whereabouts were unknown due to fighting with the Dark Eldar in the 41st Millennium, Juba succeeded the Great Khan.
The position of Khan - before this he successfully passed the test set by the Storm Prophet.
During his tenure as the Great Khan, Juba experienced countless battles with aliens. One of his greatest achievements was during the Jopal uprising, when he led the battle group to launch several raids in a row, severely damaging the enemy's supplies.
and communication lines.
Under such an attack, the enemy was forced to divert a large number of troops to deal with the White Scars, and the Imperial Guard was able to take the opportunity to break through the weakly defended enemy front line and finally quell the rebellion.
Strictly speaking, Juba has not served as Chapter Master as long as Soshyan, but he served more than two hundred years earlier than Soshyan.
Standing with Juba Khan was an old man holding a long bone staff, with white beard and hair, and a face full of vicissitudes of life.
Like Juba, almost without asking, Soshyan knew that he was one of the oldest think tank directors in the empire, the Storm Prophet Ogedei.
Subodeng Khan, who was leading the way for Soshyan, stopped in front of the steps, then nodded to each other with Juba Khan and returned to his place.
When everyone entered, the explosion-proof door was immediately closed, and the light from the bronze luminous tubes shone on the surrounding white walls. There were about seventy white-scar warriors standing on the tile floor. It seemed that there were not only honorable men from various brotherhoods here.
Khan, including some commanding officers and senior veterans.
"Welcome to Chegoris, the Supreme Lord Commander of the Maelstrom Expeditionary Force, His Excellency Soshyan Alexey."
When Juba Khan spoke slowly, his thunderous voice echoed between the curtains of the reception hall. Over the decades since he became Chapter Master, his broken and determined face has become harder, and the zigzag scars on his face have become paler.
Although the ancient finely crafted power armor has been carefully maintained, burn marks, gouges, dents and other battle marks still remain.
This armor is said to have been passed down from the legendary warrior Juba Khan of the Great Crusade.
The same armor, worn by a person with the same name ten thousand years later, seems to represent some kind of reincarnation of fate.
However, his thick Chegelish accent also made Soshyan have to listen carefully so as not to misunderstand what he was about to say. Even because of the heavy accent, Chegeris was actually classified as low-level in the official language of the empire.
Gothic.
"You're welcome, Khan Juba, and I'm very happy to be able to come to Chegoris, the place of glory that represents the White Scars."
Listening to the standard High Gothic, Juba Khan looked at Soshyan, with a mysterious smile on his face, while his left hand gently stroked the handle of the scimitar at his waist.
"As the saying goes, when the leaves rustle, there must be wind. Captain Soshiyang must not be here just to see the scenery."
Soshyan was actually quite unfamiliar with the White Scars. He had never had any contact with these soldiers during his service career, not even in the sub-regiment, but at least they seemed to be a group of straightforward warriors.
If you are a straightforward person, use a straightforward communication method.
"As the founding group closest to the Maelstrom area, the White Scars are not only your group, but also the sub-groups of your group are basically active in the Maelstrom area to guard against the heretics and aliens lurking in the Maelstrom area. This time I
I came on this expedition hoping to get your help and guidance, because I know Huron is a formidable opponent, and even if I was lucky enough to defeat him once, it doesn't mean I can defeat him a second time."
Juba Khan nodded slightly.
"Well, a real river must be quiet, and a truly capable person must be humble. If Captain Soshiyang has this realization, this expedition must be successful even if it is full of difficulties, but——
"
Khan's sharp words immediately made Soshiyang's heart skip a beat.
"Actually, I had already made arrangements after receiving the news about the expedition, but according to the markings of the fleet in orbit, the Dark Angels have already joined the expedition, right?"
Although he didn't know what the other party's intention was for suddenly mentioning this, Soshyan still nodded honestly.
"Yes."
"And if I remember correctly, one of the ships is often used by the Ravenwing Company."
"This time, Grand Master Azrael appointed Master Samuel to lead the Ravenwing Company to participate in the expedition."
"This is it."
After saying that, Juba Khan's eyes turned to a person next to the pillar on the right side of Soshyan.
