Maxin was preparing to give a routine report to the Soshiyang Chapter Commander, but today was different.
"That's...another Space Marine?"
Hearing the adjutant's voice, Maxin followed his line of sight and saw six figures standing around a huge Storm Bird.
Their armor is white, but due to damage and scratches, the gray porcelain is exposed from under the paint.
The black greaves, shoulder armor and helmet are decorated with white cross patterns. On the chest is a soaring black eagle. The rosary beads and small incense burners around their waists sway as they move.
Looking at their appearance, Maxin couldn't help but compare them with the Astral Knights. Finally, he had to rudely admit that these warriors were more experienced and calm, as if they were always ready to launch an attack.
One of them had his head exposed and suddenly turned to face him. His eyes as blue as the cold sky met the officer's eyes.
At that moment, he wanted to run away and hide himself behind the plastic steel and chalk.
So he quickly looked away from the Space Marine.
"What's the situation now?"
the adjutant asked beside him.
Maxin did not reply, but reached out and pulled out a cigarette from the pocket of his military uniform.
He carefully placed the cigarette in his mouth and flicked the lighter until it produced a blue flame.
The adjutant noticed that his commander's hand was steady, but the burning end of the cigarette rod was trembling. Maxin saw his own eyes on the igniter shell with fingerprints, a pair of dull and tired eyes looking back at him.
.
"Wait a minute, it seems that our Lord Soshyan has a guest."
In the simply decorated hall, six warriors sat around a conference table with only a U-shaped arc and a huge tapestry depicting moments when mortals participated in various sports competitions.
"This is Fentian. Looking at it, I can feel that the original body is with us."
Randall gently stroked the legion's sacred relic that had been found after being lost for thousands of years, his eyes even a little blurry. For the White Temple, the bond of the legion was once too far away to be traced.
But now, the fragmented Legion will have an anchor again, something strong enough to reunite them.
"It seems that the original body is also guiding you, legion commander."
Standing up, Randall respectfully returned the Fentian Feng to Soshyan with both hands.
"It must also be the emperor's blessing."
Soshiyang took Fentian and handed it to Mark behind him.
Afterwards, he shared his experience in the mysterious tomb with everyone. In addition to Mark and Talos, there were also two White Templar commanders present.
These contents can only be known by senior officials.
Everyone listened to his narration quietly. Except for Talos, who already knew it, everyone else exclaimed in surprise from time to time.
"It's unimaginable."
Randall shook his head.
"There was such an inside story about the war back then."
Mark, standing behind Soshyan, also nodded.
"Yes, if the monster is resurrected, it might cause a lot of trouble."
A bald, tanned warrior next to Randall spoke. His name was Burne Reiss. He was the chief priest of the White Temple. He wore black armor engraved with skulls because he needed to secretly instill the legion's spirit into the new recruits.
Existence is also regarded by Randall as the most central character.
"This also shows from the side that the legion commander has the manifest destiny to save the empire."
His voice is deep, powerful, and infectious.
Soshyan smiled at him.
"Brother Bourne is very complimentary, I'm just lucky."
"The legion commander is too humble."
The person who spoke was the chief apothecary of the White Temple, Keilan Luka. He wore a suit of armor painted white with sharp edges and corners, and the medals on it were as numerous as monuments.
Because he has worked in research laboratories and operating theaters for a long time, his skin is relatively pale, and he is handsome, with no scars left by years of war, and his piercing eyes seem to be able to penetrate the soul.
Not all members of Parliament respected his authority so much.
"Let's put the Legion aside for now."
Talos leaned on his seat. His existence is still a mystery to most people. If Randall had not explained it in advance, Burne Reis would have yelled at his careless attitude.
Of course, even if you don't say anything, a glare is indispensable.
"Indeed, our biggest task right now is to liberate Hades and defeat the aliens on Armageddon."
With that said, Soshyan turned to Mark and gave some instructions.
Within a few minutes, a confused Maxin walked into the temporary command hall.
"This is Captain Maxin. Let him introduce to you the battle situation of Hades during this period."
Maxin also didn't expect that he would be suddenly called in while he was smoking a cigarette, and would have to face a lot of imperial angels.
But there was nothing he could do, no matter how scared he was, he had to say it.
After taking two minutes to sort out his thoughts, he began to tell everyone about the siege of Hades's nest over the past year, including the mobilization of troops, the direction of the greenskins' main attack, and their continuous defeat.
He even confided to them his fears and his experiences leading his team to escape in occupied areas.
The whole process lasted about half an hour.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take him down for a cup of tea."
After letting Masin leave, Soshyan turned to Randall.
"How is the war going elsewhere?"
"The defenders of Halesridge were attacked by a large-scale psychic attack by green skins and almost turned into a dead city. Captain Dante of the Blood Angels formulated a desperate plan. He led the main force to parachute behind the enemy's lines and attack the greens.
The leather war boss launched a beheading operation... Unfortunately, the war boss was patrolling the front line at the time, but even so, the green skin vanguard still suffered a serious blow, and then Captain Dante drove them into the hive.
Caught between the garrison and the narrow area directly between the outskirts of the hive and the central hive's protective wall."
Soshyan nodded.
"A good cage tactic."
"Yes, Captain Dante was not in a hurry to launch an attack. Instead, he kept harassing the greenskins in the hive, so that every time the greenskins broke out, they would be defeated at the critical moment. In the end, the greenskins' patience ran out, and
They were forced to adopt desperate assault tactics and rushed directly into the five-kilometer-long minefield deployed by the Blood Angels in advance. Hundreds of thousands of greenskins were wiped out that day, and the war leader was also dead."
"Speaking of war bosses."
Suoshiyang suddenly thought of a ferocious guy.
"I seem to have met the biggest leader of this group of greenskins, but I'm not sure if he's still alive."
"I guess he's still alive."
"Oh why?"
"Because although the greenskins of Halesridge were defeated, they miraculously gathered together and established a large number of strongholds in the Ash Plains area. It is obvious that their top command still exists."
"This is troublesome."
Soshyan put his hands on the table.
"But we can imitate Captain Dante's tactics. The troops have been assembled now. The only thing that needs to be confirmed is a breakthrough."
As he spoke, he unfolded a map.
"I chose here, to the west, the location of the Zhongchao Water Purification Plant. According to the investigation, there is a green leather military factory. Only by breaking through there, we only need to open a passage of less than thirty kilometers to be able to contact
The defenders besieged in Upper Nest."
Randall looked at the map for a while and nodded.
"It's a good idea, so let's implement it like this."
