Callistarius thought for a while, but was not sure what Dante wanted to say to him.
The Chapter Master of the Astartes, who had experienced thousands of years, held the Thinker's shoulders, turned around together, and stared at the mural, which showed Sanguinius confronting the demons in front of the Eternal Gate.
"Before the Heresy, there was an incredible fear of psykers, and many wanted to see such beings expelled, imprisoned, and weakened, thinking they would unleash something even more disgusting, and then these voices were
It became more and more intense, eventually leading to the Emperor issuing a ban."
"Nikea ban...."
Callistarius uttered an ancient word, and it was because of this ban that the Thinktank once disappeared from the Legiones Astartes.
"But even under such circumstances, the original body still did not give up on those warriors with psychic talents. I think you must still remember that sentence. It is directly engraved on the wall of the Chapter Archives. "Think Tank Brothers to us
Crucially, they fought alongside me before the Empire came, and they will continue to do so as long as I can pick up the sword.' This sentence has not changed for tens of thousands of years."
Callistarius remained silent.
"Brother, I believe in you and your strength. You don't need to worry about what you think or see. I happily accept your outspokenness."
The think tank hesitated for a while, and finally whispered:
"My divination... saw some dark signs. Unlike the greenskins, I guess... there is trouble on Armageddon that we have not seen."
Upon hearing this, Dante's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Can you tell me more specifically? What did you see?"
"Actually, I didn't see anything. Those were just...just some vague omens."
The Chapter Master of the Blood Angels Chapter fell silent. He looked back at the mural, thinking and remembering.
"Armageddon is not easy to do here."
Finally, he said this sentence.
Calista stared at him, wondering what he was referring to.
"Brother Callistarius, when did you become an Astartes."
Dante suddenly asked him a slightly weird question, but he didn't think much and answered it immediately.
"Standard Terra Calendar 509.M41."
"That's it. Sixty years before you served, there was a war at Armageddon."
Callistarius blinked.
"But there are no records left in the archives."
"That war...had too many secrets and stains to be recorded."
Dante shook his head.
In Standard Terra Calendar 444.M41, armed rebellions suddenly broke out in the six hives of Armageddon. Although most of the rebellions were suppressed, the scope of the rebellion in the remaining hives became larger and larger.
While the local guards were busy suppressing it, a huge hulk carrying an army of demons broke through the subspace and arrived in the orbit of Armageddon. The leader of this army was the World Eater Legion, one of the traitorous legions.
Primarch, Angron.
As soon as the Daemon Primarch appeared, the planet Armageddon almost fell. Fortunately, reinforcements sent by the Space Wolves Chapter arrived in Armageddon in time. The two sides fought fiercely on the planet's surface, but the Space Wolves were unable to match the power of the Daemon Primarch.
, retreating steadily.
At the critical moment, the empire invested a mysterious force, which instantly reversed the situation and dispersed the demonic original body.
The Space Wolves immediately counterattacked and destroyed the Chaos Hive, but the residents of Armageddon were screened and driven into huge labor camps. These camps were isolated from other inhabited cities, and the residents had to live in these labor camps.
Spend the rest of your life.
Some residents who tried to escape the planet were attacked by the Imperial Navy controlled by the Inquisitors, but were stopped by the Space Wolves, and violent conflicts broke out between the two sides.
"this--"
After hearing the whole incident, Calista didn't know what to say for a while.
There is no record of such a major event as the appearance of the demon primarch, so the "conflict" Dante mentioned may not be as simple as a conflict.
"That mysterious power, what exactly..."
"Do not ask."
Dante interrupted him seriously.
"If you meet it in person or become the director of a think tank, you will naturally know. Before that, don't ask or try to explore."
"Understood."
Seeing the serious expression on his chapter leader's face, Callistariu knew that he shouldn't ask any further questions.
Then, Dante's expression softened slightly.
"If you talk things out, maybe you won't have so many thoughts, right?"
"Yes, thank you Chapter Leader for telling me this. I understand my responsibilities."
"That's good. I'm going to see the Chapter Leader of the White Temple later. You can come too."
"yes."
As the shuttle passed through the ship's slender belly and climbed toward the towers where the bridge was located, Randall noticed the almost perfect decorations on the upper edge of the ship's gunwales and the hull plating - with exquisitely crafted
The golden face with curly hair, the bronze pattern deep into the paneling of the jet vent, and the huge superstructure woven from pure works of art.
The Blood Angels are indeed masters of art and killing, while most Imperial Fists or Ultramarines chapters are more adaptable to a pragmatic style.
Subsequently, the shuttle floated into the entrance of a cave-like hangar, where several phalanxes of Blood Angel warriors were waiting as an honor guard. The leader was a warrior covered in pure gold and red Terminator armor, who stood under the lights of the hangar.
Shining brightly underneath, the combat armor was as exquisite as everything else in the ship, polished to the point where one thought it must be made of glass.
The warrior was not wearing a helmet, and his face was sharp and angular, just like one of the statues surrounded by pilasters and velvet placed around them.
This is also a legendary figure, First Captain of the Blood Angels Chapter, Karaon the Shield of Baal.
He has been a Captain of the Blood Angels for two centuries, fighting countless enemies during his service, most notably destroying the space hulk Vogot's Doom, the Holy Inferno, and the Dusk Shield, and killing
A great demon of Nurgle.
After the shuttle came to a stop, Randall stepped out of the illuminated shuttle, accompanied by his first company commander and chief chaplain, and a small escort consisting of four soldiers wearing Terminator armor followed behind.
.
Karan then nodded in greeting and said:
"Welcome to the Sword of Vengeance, Chapter Commander Randall Blanchard. I am First Captain Karan of the Blood Angels Chapter. The Chapter Commander is eagerly looking forward to meeting you."
"Honored."
Afterwards, under the guidance of the company commander, Randall walked across the apron and all the way to the battleship's saloon.
Dante was already waiting there, wearing his iconic golden armor, holding a death mask in one hand, and pressing the battle ax hanging on his waist with the other, showing an extraordinary demeanor.
And beside him were several senior leaders of the war group.
"Welcome, Chapter Master Randall Blanchard."
"Hello, respected Chapter Master Dante."
Dante extended his right hand to Randall, who immediately reached out and grasped it tightly.
"It's an honor to meet you."
Dante seemed to be shocked by Randall's words.
"pleasure?"
"Yes, I heard about your deeds when I was a scout."
Dante raised his head and laughed.
"Look, it sounds like I'm an antique in a museum."
Everyone laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly became very harmonious.
