Chapter 292 Dream Back to the Middle Ages, Red-haired Ancestor
More than two hours later.
In the galaxy called Maar by Ina and other "elves", it seems that colorful "nebulae" can be seen visually against the deep sky background.
Putting aside the central star, the entire galaxy is composed of ten planets and countless asteroids and dwarf planets in the periphery.
The size and brightness of the star are similar to the sun, but starting from the fifth orbit, the planet types are all gas and ice giant planets.
The number of asteroids and dwarf planets in the outer reaches far exceeds the total number of the asteroid belt and Kuiper belt in the solar system.
The first to fourth orbits are terrestrial planets, and the most prominent one in the deep space of the universe is the "Mar" star located in the fourth orbit.
Looking at the appearance alone, the Mal star looks like the Harvest star as a whole.
Although it is smaller than the Earth and only a few minutes larger than Mars, it has a thick atmosphere, a blue ocean on the surface, and green land. The earthy yellow color that represents the desert is extremely rare.
There are no orbital elevators, defensive turrets, space stations or hub stations commonly used by humans in low-Earth orbit. Instead, there are many "◇" diamond-shaped translucent "crystals".
These crystals are at least two kilometers long, consistent with the rotation speed of the Mar star, and appear to be some kind of orbital defense mechanism.
at this time.
The crystals on the sun-facing side of the Mal star suddenly turned around, flashing with light red light one after another, pointing their tips towards the same cosmic region.
Not long after, eleven jump exits were suddenly formed within the gravitational range of this space, and the ships belonging to the Dark Angel fleet sailed out of the fault space one after another.
Moreover, in addition to the Achilles-class aircraft carriers that carry a large number of auxiliary troops, carrier-based aircraft and ground armor units, and do not have electromagnetic main guns, as well as supply ships that carry supplies and are responsible for maintenance, all other warships have already locked onto nearby crystals
.
At the same time, the eleven ships actively deployed energy shields that emitted pale golden light.
It can be seen that those crystals are indeed the defense mechanism of the Marr people, and they also have the ability to detect ships and objects that are about to leave the fault space, so as to respond in advance.
On the other hand, the human side that annexed the technology of the Covenant Empire also has similar detection methods.
This is why the fire control system has already locked onto the nearby crystals and all ships have deployed energy shields.
The jump exit dissipates.
The two sides fell into a confrontation.
And inside the Zeus-class bridge, next to the center console.
There is Leon with his hands folded in front of his breastplate, and Ina who has changed from a hospital gown to a Dark Angel training uniform.
I saw that Ina did not hesitate too much. She used the holographic communication displayed on the center console to try to contact the Mar star and revealed her identity:
"I am Ina Urnos Liz, who is heading to the human world. Standing next to me is the descendant of the human ruler, the original body Leon. Please allow us to land in the capital of Mia. We need to meet in person.
Great Ancestor Erin Mill.”
The voice fell.
Leon waited patiently for a moment, and the holographic communication began to display a real-time picture, showing a male Marr wearing an alternative white armor.
The other party looked solemn.
Especially when he saw the height difference between Ina and Leon, a trace of surprise flashed in the other's eyes, and finally he looked at Ina and communicated in their Marr language.
“…”
Seeing this, Leon just glanced at Ina, and then looked at the holographic communication with an expressionless expression, staring at the male Marr.
End the conversation.
The other party looked directly at Leon with a slight fear, as if he wanted to say some words of warning, but soon, the male Malian avoided his eyes and actively ended the communication, returning the center console to its original state.
And Ina also turned sideways, raised her head, and said respectfully to Leon: "Dear original body, Mars only allows one landing craft or transport plane, and a few escort fighters to go to the capital of Mia."
"Heh." Leon said with disdain: "How timid and fearful you are."
"After all, you came in person, and there is a discrepancy between the situation foreseen by the great ancestors, which is why the palace soldiers are so alert."
After hearing the explanation given by Ina, Leon could guess that the Marr people behaved in a way that relied too much on the so-called "foresight" and "prophecy" without asking any questions.
Back when the brothers were still living together, Sanguinius would also be troubled by the fragmented fragments of "the future" that would occasionally pop up in his mind.
But as Robert once said, "The future is created by oneself, not determined by those illusory pictures."
It's just that Leon doesn't have the leisure time of his elder brother to teach these elves who like to play riddles.
As for the "palace warriors", they should be the Marr military, but Leon was too lazy to infer the opponent's organization. He didn't think too much. He turned to look at the captain sitting in the captain's seat and issued an order:
"Stay on alert and be prepared for possible battles."
"Yes." The captain took the order.
Then, Leon turned around and walked out of the bridge, reminding Ina: "Follow me."
Then using the communication of the power armor, he said to the hangar: "Get ready for the flight formation."
Said.
Leon and Ina who were following him had already walked out of the bridge, and a group of paladins who had been waiting outside for a long time also followed their original body and silently headed to the hangar.
Ina showed undisguised confusion, that is...
Don’t the human rulers and their descendants understand what fear is? They actually lead only a few guards and dare to go to the base of the power where the relationship between the two parties is unclear and everything is unknown.
However, after carefully recalling the clearing operation that broke out on Pulton, and then having close contact with Leon and other Astartes, Ina felt relieved.
Although it, and even most of the Marr people, think very highly of themselves and have absolute confidence in their physical and spiritual abilities. In fact, they do have qualities that far exceed those of humans, elites, and iron-blooded people. But compared to the Astartes,
It seems that only psychic talent has a slight advantage.
And the original body…
Ina was not able to witness the process of John's hunting of Pallas, nor did she have the right to read the battle records, but just by feeling, she knew that the original body was the existence that completely crushed the Marls, and it seemed that only the great ancestors could compete with it.
contend.
Not to mention the "Lord of Mankind" who is superior to the original body.
Thinking room.
Ina has followed Leon and the Paladins to the Zeus-class hangar, and then boarded the Thunder 6, which was a large transport boat with specifications exceeding the size used by the auxiliary army.
Shortly after.
Outside the Zeus class ship.
The right side of the hull.
Thunder 6 and four escorting Viking fighter planes formed a flight formation together and separated from the battleship group and headed towards the planet Mar.
Not long after, the flight formation passed one of the "crystals" at close range.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen white, fusiform "fighters" with wing-like structures on both sides surrounded the flight formation and entered the atmosphere of the Mar star together.
Flying for a while.
The pilot sitting in the cockpit of a Viking fighter saw them arriving above a sea of clouds. After passing through the sea of clouds, they saw endless green.
The ground is covered with plants that are familiar to the pilot, no different from the types he knows, and the hud helmet also captured some traces of animals.
Lock the target and divide it into several small screens to display on both sides of the helmet. Pull it into the field of view and watch carefully.
Although I have never seen these animals that look like birds, raccoons or elk, they are still within the scope of the pilot's aesthetics, at least they don't feel weird.
A "beep." reminder indicates that the Viking fighter plane has completed its basic scan of the planet Mar.
The pilot dissipates the small screens on both sides and displays the scan results on the driver's window in front of him for easy viewing.
The results show that the composition of Mar's atmosphere is 72% nitrogen, 24% oxygen, 0.6% argon, and the remainder is carbon dioxide and some rare gases. The atmospheric pressure is similar to that of the Earth, and the gravity is 1.43g.
Generally speaking, although it is obviously different from the earth's environment, it is not too harsh for humans.
Dissipate scan results.
The pilots followed the instructions and followed the formation to gradually descend in altitude, and continued to be alert to the surrounding shuttle fighters.
soon.
They flew over the forest at low altitude and came to the sky above the "golden wheat field".
I saw Mar people in the fields, wearing huge parasols and holding various agricultural tools. Some even used docile animals like cattle for farming.
After sailing a little further, he also saw towns, manors, and pastures raising various livestock.
Witnessing all this made the pilots who controlled the Viking fighter planes feel as if they had arrived at the Harvest Star more than ten years ago, feeling comfortable and natural.
But there is one significant difference, that is, he has not discovered many modern facilities and means of transportation from beginning to end.
Even the Harvest Star more than ten years ago would not be as backward as the "dream back to the Middle Ages" here. It seems that the Marls do not want to rely on the convenience brought by technology.
Immediately afterwards.
The "city" that came into view in front of us further confirmed the pilot's evaluation of "dreaming back to the Middle Ages".
Because that city is consistent with the castle made of stone bricks in historical documents or epic movies, and composed of military fortresses and civilian residences.
However, the area and scale are much larger and grander than those recorded in literature and the props and special effects in the movie, especially the palace located in the center, reflecting the light under the stars.
Many crystal-like objects and facilities are located in this castle, which Ina and the others call the "City of Mia".
Then the entire flight formation was guided by the Marr shuttle fighters to slow down, and finally arrived at the military fortress on the easternmost side of the capital of Mia, and landed in the open area inside the fortress.
On the way to land.
The four Vikings were also converted into heavy armored units, guarding the surrounding Marr soldiers equipped with white armor.
The Thunder 6 landed between the four Vikings, stopped, opened the nose hatch and used it as a pedal, and let Leon, the Paladin and Ina in the cabin get out of the cabin.
After completely stepping on the surface of the planet Mar, Leon looked around for observation and saw not far ahead, a group of Mar soldiers with gorgeous armor and red cloaks behind them walking towards them.
In order to avoid causing disputes, this group of Marr soldiers took the initiative to stop outside the Vikings. Seeing this, Ina also reminded Leon in a timely manner:
"These are the palace warriors who brought us to meet our great ancestors."
“…”
Remaining silent showed that Leon had no objections, and then led a group of dark knights towards the group of palace warriors.
Although Leon has a cold temperament, he adheres to his father's orders. At least before the Marr people show any drastic behavior, he will remain friendly and "invite" the great ancestor to visit Pulton.
Ina quickly followed these giants.
On the other hand, the palace soldiers and the Marr soldiers responsible for garrisoning the fortress had different expressions, mostly surprised and surprised.
Even if you are prepared in advance, you will inevitably be shocked when you come to the scene and see the terrifying height and size of the Primarch and the Astartes with your own eyes.
Come closer.
A palace warrior who was responsible for leading the team put his right hand behind his back and swung his left hand towards the palace located in the center of Mia's capital. He said to Leon in a respectful enough tone and not unfamiliar human language:
"Please come with us."
"good."
Seeing that the other party had a good attitude, out of politeness, Leon responded briefly, left the fortress with the group of palace warriors, and walked to the palace.
Next.
Their group needed to pass through the streets of Mia's capital, and Leon found that many Marr civilians consciously kept their distance, either watching from a distance or in the buildings on both sides of the street.
The expressions on the faces of civilians who have not received military training are richer and more exciting than those of Marr soldiers.
Among them were children who were smaller in size and age and couldn't help but exclaimed in exclamation.
Even though the language was different, Leon could still tell that these children were exclaiming words such as "They are so tall!" and "So strong!"
Leon has long been used to this.
Since they came into the public eye, he has encountered more exaggerated scenes than the children of Marr.
Cross the street.
After passing through the main entrance of the palace and the gardens planted with various ornamental plants, Leon and his party went straight to the most magnificent and spacious hall.
And here.
It is paved with clean reflective white floor tiles, with supporting and decorative stone pillars erected on both sides, and many exquisite and small crystals floating on it. Together with numerous glass structures, this hall is filled with light.
At the front, there are several Marr people sitting, wearing clothes and robes with white as the main color.
Sitting in the center is a Marr woman. Her clothes are more gorgeous than other compatriots, her facial features are exquisite, her expression is cool, she has conspicuous long red hair, and she looks about the same age as a human, around twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. She looks young.
But he has the aura of a superior person.
These Marr people are the ancestors who led some of their tribesmen to escape their fallen fate and fled to the Marr Galaxy.
Moreover, when the ancestors saw Leon Yi and his party entering the hall, they took the initiative to get up and leave their seats. The female ancestor looked directly at Leon with a smile, as if she had already understood everything and said:
"Welcome, the third son of the Lord of Humanity, I am Erin Mir. I am honored to be invited by the Lord of Humanity."
"It is also an honor for me to meet you." Leon responded and said bluntly: "Since the ancestors have understood our intentions, time is precious, so please rush to Pulton with us immediately."
