It's been almost a Terran Standard month since we last communicated. I don't know if everything is going well on your end, but everything is fine on my end.
The forging world Shana has now completely become the operation center connecting the Maelstrom area and the northeastern part of the galaxy. Every day, different expedition fleets can be seen casting huge shadows on the forges and factories here, as if there has never been daylight in this world.
Same.
Of course, the weather in the Forge World itself is terrible. I once traveled to the surface of Shana, which was covered with copper-colored deserts and ruins. Vicious hurricanes tortured the ground endlessly, and even the slightest breath was
The smell of oil fumes and exhaust fumes filled his mouth. Most of them are poisonous. The air in the desert can poison an ordinary person to death in ten seconds.
Only in the hive city filled with factories can there be filtered [safe] air, but it is still full of the smell of sulfur and soot.
However, the industrial hive itself is not a good place for people to admire. It is full of gears, pipes and cables. Many places have not been cleaned for a long time. I can't describe their smell. In those unimportant streets and sewers
Inside, there are corpses that have turned into white bones. The people of the Mechanicus say that they are all those who have failed in the struggle and experiment, [people who are not favored].
Outside the industrial hives are endless deserts and abandoned city clusters. I have traveled along a main road that runs through the entire world, but all I can see are sporadic airports, fusion reactors and stellar energy collection.
In addition to the field, there are temples, hundreds of thousands of temples, large and small, dedicated to the mechanical gods claimed by the Mechanicus, the ohm messiah and the trinity of source power. Listen to those worshippers
The explanations are occasionally a good pastime.
Apart from that, there is nothing worth missing in this world. Those bishops and priests put all their energy into forging, digging and intrigues with each other. Their fights are worse than any palace I have ever seen.
The plots are more crude and complex.
Oh, right.
The one holding the seal lowered his head and continued to sigh slightly.
In short, the war is coming to me again now. In most cases, I actually don’t like things related to war and bloodshed, but I will not avoid it. If I am on the front line, I will not be able to keep regular letters with you.
I have contacted you, I will try my best to contact you and send you some souvenirs. For example, how about Randan Psychic's skull? You can use it as a bowl.
"But there's no doubt it disrupted everything."
After a while, he waited.
Zhuang Sen took a look, and then the last thoughts in his heart were settled.
——————
The palm-printer bit his lips that were so dry that they could no longer be shriveled, and thought about how to tell the story.
But that has nothing to do with me, because I will soon go to the front line again, maybe not Shana, but somewhere else. Ahriman is receiving instructions now, and he will tell us the next step.
The emperor was quiet for a while before speaking again.
He read the letter again, then slowly put it aside, and then looked at the other letter.
This is the first time Jonson has communicated with him since the Sabis Galaxy.
It's really interesting, isn't it? Their supplies were replenished for several days.
In Shana's main nest, I also met a very interesting guy, you would never guess his identity.
However, Morgan joined the expedition fleet of the Thousand Sons Legion after the inauguration ceremony. The specific reason is unknown. According to our investigation in this world, it is most likely because her ongoing conflict with Maximilian has not been resolved well.
The resolution led to this exodus.
"In fact, she may have been walking in the world for some time. Of course, this is my personal speculation and cannot be used as a basis for reality."
It has to be said that Ran Dan's vitality and combat effectiveness are indeed more powerful and stubborn than every alien we have ever encountered. A victory like that in the Sabis Galaxy is enough to destroy almost all opponents in the galaxy, but now it is so far away
Almost five or six Terran standard months have passed since the battle, and Ran Dan has still not been defeated. They have even recovered and become even more fierce.
【Has she woke up yet?】
Finally, I wish you always keep the heart of the forest.
After a moment, he waved his hand, and the invisible wave tore apart the latitudes of the world and the galaxy, opening up a path capable of transmitting sound across the distance of countless star sectors.
The warehouse world that was the frontline supply center also fell in the following days. You should know its fate better than me. There are also several key nodes that are currently in the fiercest competition. It is said that there are at least 5,000 Dark Angels.
It was outflanked by Ran Dan, but the empire's fleet broke through the encirclement network again... News like this has been uploaded endlessly to Shana these days.
Maximilian was assassinated soon after, and the world soon fell into a civil war for power. However, several of his most capable and powerful brothers died together in the ensuing war of brothers, especially the most powerful ones.
The two dukes finally died in a duel between them.
"Forgive me for disturbing you, how far has your expedition progressed?"
Then, he stood up and opened his eyes uneasily, thinking about something.
But Johnson no longer cares about this.
Despite being separated by thousands of stars, the Emperor's bearer still saluted respectfully.
My team and his team trekked together in Shana's desert for a few days. When he left, I had a new pen pal. I thought I should share this happiness with you.
After about a cup of tea, a somewhat vague voice came from the other end of the passage.
【As long as I want...I can look at her.】
This person is safe.
Luther was just quiet for a while, and then he picked up a pen and wrote his own evaluation of this mortal woman under Morgan's message.
Nemir's report goes something like this.
——————
【You mean...that failure?】
Your friend.
"My Lord."
"I just had a precognition, you know, just like before, but this time, it worked."
【So...what's going on...Makado.】
In the never-ending work, he rarely showed a relaxed smile.
[So...you are worried...it will be Morgan...]
"But just when we were fighting, pulling, and intrigues to the end, a hand suddenly stretched out into the chess game. I couldn't be sure whether it was a hand that suddenly stuck out or a certain chess piece on the chessboard.
I finally have my own will."
According to our investigation, Morgan is the daughter of the world’s deceased first imperial governor, Maximilian. Her bloodline family has always been known for a special training system: they will hide their children secretly.
, changed their names and identities, and conducted more than ten years of education and practical training. Only the heirs who passed all the tests can obtain the royal status and appear in the public eye. It is reported that Morgan is the best since the emergence of this system.
product.

【……】
[Yes... good news... Later, I plan to take Horus and Zhuang Sen to Moro. It is better to have it in my hands... Otherwise, I won't worry. ]
"I saw a Primarch."
That's from Jonson.
【...Makado...what's going on?】
[Take her to the Indomitable Truth.]
The team is led by a very interesting guy, his name is James James. He is a diplomat who is particularly admirable in both his conversation and his knowledge.
Morgan, from the world of 28-13 in the southeastern region of the Maelstrom, is a member of the local ruling family.
The current governor of this world is named Semiramis, who calls herself queen internally. It is reported that she has a distant blood relationship with Morgan. Semiramis pursues espionage politics and palace intrigue in her own country to use poison.
He was famous for his extravagance and extravagance, but his rule was extremely solid and he was very active in paying taxes to the empire. He was one of the best imperial governors.
Then, in accordance with the laws of succession of that world, the second Semiramis who emerged from training became the ruler of that world and inherited the title of Imperial Governor.
[...(Indistinct sound)...I am ordering my fleet to go to Chogolis. The fleet nearby and the world are singing the story of an incredible Khan. I think...I have found another heir.
】
There seemed to be silence at the other end of the passage.
"That's good news indeed."
But before leaving, he also told me that the battle on the front line was not going well now. The Ran Dan aliens seemed to have gathered forces again. The four expedition fleets deployed by the empire at the front of the front lost contact on the same day, and
At the same time, with at least six systems falling on the other side of the battle line, Ran Dan's battle moon appeared again, this time a full four.
We chatted on the high tower of the hive city, the only place where we could barely see the stars as the smoke from the factory cleared. He told me about the history of the Sixteenth Legion Astartes and the history of the war.
There is their legion's home planet of Cthonia, which is a crueler, more miserable place than Shana, but also more charming.
Luther knew what the content of the communication was because he had seen it once before. The old knight of Caliban didn't know whether it was accidental or terrible deliberate. In short, Jonson's communication was a query, and one related to Morgan.
inquiry.
Luther took the letter and read it over and over again.
"My Lord."
【...She...of course knows.】
[The original body...my...which son?]
The palm-printer sighed softly.
【That... doesn't matter.】
Then, he waited quietly.
At the end of this report, he explained with some bitterness: Because the so-called royal training will completely destroy every participant's information, and the participating characters will also have their memories completely erased, so they really haven't found anything about it.
More information on Morgan.
"There is indeed one thing, my lord."
"Yes, Morgan, it's about her."
A Luna Wolf!
Specifically, it was a group of Luna Wolves, envoys sent by the Sixteenth Legion to the First Legion, who were taking a short break in the Forge World to replenish supplies.
Especially when his eyes drifted to the end of the letter and looked at the sentence "Heart of the Forest" written by Morgan, his smile was filled with memories and pride. That sentence "Heart of the Forest" was exactly the card he had taught Morgan before.
Apparently Morgan couldn't help but study the Liban dialect seriously and really remembered it.
That was Luther's reply.
At the same time, here, I also apologize to you once again on behalf of Ahriman. Knight Luther, please forgive him for being unreasonable last time. You have to understand, after all... he is a member of the Thousand Sons Legion.
【Nemer.】
【So, what did you see?】
"It's your daughter."
She quickly became Maximilian's right-hand man after her [debut]. This king who always used diplomatic threats as a means of profit rarely used troops on a large scale, constantly provoking annexation wars with neighboring countries. After the empire's fleet officially
Before arriving, Maximilian had unified most of the world, and was the first to surrender to the empire, becoming the first governor, and intimidating all other kings to surrender at the governor's inauguration ceremony.
Machado nodded.
Morgan.]
——————
The palmist felt worried about his own thoughts, but he only heard laughter from the other end of the passage.
"Although we are making choices, making choices is always an extremely difficult thing, not to mention that now, there may be another unstable factor. I saw silver hair near that hand,
And my instinct is telling me she knows something."
He flipped through the information casually, as if waiting for something.
Thousands of miles away, at a distance that even the most elusive words cannot describe, an old man's eyes were shaking unnaturally.
"I saw the chess game, my lord, the chess game that you and I have played for countless rounds. The chess pieces are gradually returning to the chessboard from every corner of the galaxy, and the curtain is opening little by little."
The Primarch did not directly write down his problem, he just sent a message from Morgan, and the long days of fighting side by side made it easy for Luther to know Jonson's intentions.
The fortress and anti-aircraft firepower on Shana have now been built again, and the world seems to be turning into a front line again. The bishops and priests are quite dissatisfied with this matter, and they can often be heard saying things without scruples.
Complaining remarks.
"She doesn't know everything."
"Because the chess pieces in our hands just seem to have some problems, but they are not harmful."
