"Wow, I heard that there were thousands of Titans fighting here during the Horus Heresy?"
Li Lin of the 11th Company was making a fuss as always. During Talos's absence, Sablin will lead them, and Kassati will be responsible for assisting.
"There may not be any here. But the total number is about the same."
Cassati raised his eyes and saw that on the red earth, countless metal debris formed a hilly area of tens of kilometers. This was the result of the rebels recovering some after the war and the Mechanicus recovering some after the victory.
If it were the original situation, the imagination of these young soldiers today would be impossible to describe the steel purgatory-like scene at that time.
Perhaps thinking of something, the expedition veteran let out a long sigh.
"What a terrible war."
Sabourin crossed his arms and stared at the ancient battlefield, then turned to Kassati.
"How does Istvan Five compare to here?"
Cassati shook his head.
"They are both nightmares and tragedies. You don't want to experience them yourself."
"Oh, that-"
Li Lin suddenly pointed at the most conspicuous "hill" on the battlefield. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a natural hill because its surface was covered with a thick layer of dust, but you could still see it if you looked carefully.
There is a slight outline, and beside it, there is a giant marble sculpture with a visual height of more than one hundred meters. It is carved into the image of a heroic long-haired angel wearing armor, with wings on his back, and holding a sword and a spear.
It seems to be stabbing at the enemy angrily.
And this image is also the most common one in imperial icon paintings, and it only belongs to one original body——
"Could that be the outline of the Titan's body?"
"According to war history, the Emperor-class Titan World Axis was the only Emperor-class Titan destroyed by the original body himself, and the one who destroyed it was the great Sanguinius!"
Faisal, who was wearing a breathing mask, looked a little too short among the Space Marines, especially compared with Soshyan, but this did not affect his ability to "popularize science" about Soshyan's history.
".The great angel single-handedly entered the fallen Titan, sweeping away the evil like a golden hurricane."
Soshyan no longer cared much about what Feisal said after that. He just stared at the fallen Emperor Titan. He knew the majesty and power of that thing better than anyone, but now this real god's machine fell.
It landed on the ground and showed a posture of bending down and saluting, as if bowing to its conqueror.
Perhaps the internal damage was too severe, or there were no longer enough resources on hand to move it. The rebels who were eager to march to Terra did not recover the Titan even after they occupied the planet after their victory.
Due to its strong symbolic significance, the High Lords Council did not allow the Adeptus Mechanicus to touch this Titan, which actually looked relatively complete on the outside. After retrieving the planet, a statue of Sanguinius was transported here.
And formed a unique landscape.
However, Lysander, who poured cold water on him, later revealed the actual situation. The Betagarmon II planet that Sanguinius wanted to attack was originally just a bait for Horus. After Sanguinius and his army almost completely destroyed Betagarmon
At the same time as the rebels on Planet Ermon 2, the space station above Planet 2 was detonated by the rebels. Countless debris fell from the sky and turned into a meteor shower, and almost all of Sanguinius's army was destroyed.
This is why the planet is full of impact craters and debris.
Of course, this has long been an eternal unsolved mystery for the current empire, and the truth is just lying quietly in the ancient archives of the former founding group.
"It's such a pity. If the empire could still gather such power, how could it be so miserable on the battlefields?"
Jacob stared at the ancient battlefield with a telescope and was shocked by the ruins from the bottom of his heart.
"Even if the empire still has such power, it may not have the courage and brains to use it."
Robin not far away suddenly said something. Jacob looked at the champion and didn't know why the other person suddenly talked to him.
And what he said was a bit strange.
"It was the original body who commanded such power. Who in the empire can assume such responsibility now?"
Jacob was slightly startled by the other party's next words, and then subconsciously looked in Soshiyang's direction.
Robin just smiled lightly and said nothing more. He just continued to look at the ancient battlefield.
After leaving Beta Garmon II, the fleet went to Beta Garmon III and visited the ruins of the collapsed Astronomy Tower. This place was also transformed into a commemorative scene, with six Titans from different legions.
The statues are distributed around the ruins hundreds of meters high. They still maintain the posture of raising their muzzles, as if they are ready to fight against the incoming enemies at any time.
At that time, the planet's defenders fell into the trap of diverting the tigers away from the mountains. As a result, the Astropathic Tower was only defended by 6 Titans from the four Titan legions of Nova Guard, Void Walker, Flameweave and Imperial Hunters, and they had to face a complete
The Death Skull Titan Legion, but the defenders were not afraid and fought the enemy to the death with an absolute numerical disadvantage.
But in the end, the defenders were defeated, the thousand-meter-high Astropathic Tower was destroyed, Betagalmon III was no longer able to organize resistance, and the passage to Terra was opened.
The day when Beta Garmon III's astrological spire collapsed was also recorded as the end of the cluster's fate, and the day when the Warmaster's armies began their final advance toward the heart of the Imperium of Man.
At this time, Faisal was no longer in a hurry to let Soshyan go to Terra, and allowed him to visit various "scenic spots".
However, just as Soshyan spent more than a week preparing to end his tour of the Beta-Galmon Star Cluster, a shocking news was conveyed to the fleet through human power, and this news came from the Mountain Formation. The messenger of the Imperial Fist brought a
Bad news.
Vladimir Pugh, Chapter Master of the Imperial Fists, was ambushed by Tyranid gene stealers while leading two companies to deal with the space hulk crashed to the ground by Draxing, and unfortunately died in battle!
As soon as the news arrived, not only was everyone shocked, but the Chapter Master of a founding regiment ended his service to the Emperor in this way. Lysander was even more grief-stricken, and he immediately bid farewell to Soshion and rushed back to the Phalanx.
Vladimir Pugh gave Soshyan a lot of help when he first became the leader of the Astral Knights Chapter. Later, he also protected the Astral Knights under his wings and avoided a lot of troubles from Terra. His
The sacrifice made Soshyan not only shocked, but also sad.
So Soshyan also wanted to rush to the mountain formation immediately, but Andal Skarian persuaded him.
Outsiders should not get involved immediately in this matter, because with Pugh's death, another very sensitive issue will soon be involved -
Who will succeed the Imperial Fists as the next Chapter Master?
There is no doubt that Lysander, as the first company commander, is the most likely. If Soshyan returns with Lysander at this time, he will be suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of the founding group.
