Chapter 710

【Time: -53.54.23】

Standing on the bridge, Erebus looked at the world in front of him with an indifferent smile on his face.

A typical Astartes, his bald head is inscribed with verses from the Holy Word written by Primarch Lorgar of the Seventeenth Legion, and he is clad in crimson, blood-washed armor . A pair of narrow eyes were cold and filled with a malevolent light.

He could see the prosperity and prosperity of this planet, and the soul breath of the mortals here fascinated him. It was because of this that they came here to perform an unprecedented sacrifice for the supreme god they believed in. And Kos is the starting point of this sacrifice, Ushkusu, they will become sacrifices, light up this planet and even the entire five hundred worlds of Ultramara, and completely destroy them.

When those desperate, distressed souls are consecrated, a whole new chapter of the universe opens up, and it's funny how these silly little blue toy soldiers don't know what they're about to face.

Thinking of this, Erebus couldn't help but twitched his lips and chuckled. He was not able to meet Guilliman for the first time, but that was fine. In fact, Erebus welcomed this kind of development. He was really worried that when he saw Guilliman's stupid and ignorant picture, he would not be interested in the situation before him. You can't help but laugh at the stupid face of everything that is about to happen without knowing it.

"grown ups."

However, at this moment, Erebus received an unexpected message.

"Ultimate Warrior just sent us a contact, expressing the hope that we can temporarily move the location."

"move Place?"

Hearing this, Erebus frowned. The fleet under his command had already entered the berth. Logically speaking, there should be no similar requests at this time.

"What's the reason?"

"It is said that another fleet suddenly appeared and needed emergency supplies and repairs."

“……………………”

Erebus's expression was a bit gloomy. He didn't like sudden unexpected changes in the plan. It has to be said that this request was indeed beyond Erebus' expectations. Generally speaking, those rigid ones only A blue toy soldier who knows how to do things by the book would never do such a thing. But from a military point of view, if a fleet is attacked or damaged, it is indeed necessary to return to the berth for maintenance and overhaul as soon as possible.

So the demands of the Ultramarines are not unreasonable.

"I see."

Erebus thought for a while, and decided not to quarrel with the Ultramarines at this time. The infiltration of Koth's planetary protection system has not yet been successful. At this time, rashly making a move will only scare the snake, and the next thing is still up to him The Primarch is done.

"We will send out the coordinates according to their instructions."

"yes."

Soon, the new coordinate point of the berth was pointed out. Seeing this coordinate point, Erebus' expression became more and more ugly. Because the berth given by the other party is at the space orbit station in the remote area of ​​Coss, although it is not impossible to park warships here, but in terms of etiquette, it is obviously not in compliance with the regulations.

After all, they are still representatives of the 17th Legion on the surface, and this approach is tantamount to driving the diplomatic envoys out of the luxury hotel and sending them to the hotel next door...

The Ultramarines Legion would not have made such a mistake.

Erebus was a little puzzled about this, but at this moment, the Ultramarines Legion also sent a message to their brother the Word Bearers, expressing their sincere apologies to Erebus for their negligent behavior. And made a guarantee that the remote orbit space station is only temporarily docked, and they will soon activate the warships of the Ultramarines Legion to let them leave the berth to make way for Erebus.

It's just that it takes at least an hour to fully activate a battleship...

"I see."

Hearing the sincerity and uneasiness in the tone of the Ultramarines, the corners of Erebus's mouth curled up slightly, and the suspicion just now disappeared. Obviously, these blue toy soldiers are still the same, and they value their reputation more than anything else. Honor, dignity, but soon, that may be all they have left.

But before that, Erebus still has something to ask.

"I just contacted my subordinate, and he told me that there is a problem with the combat network connection with Koss? What's going on?"

"Ah, I'm so sorry, Captain Erebus."

The answer on the other side was still so nervous.

"You also know that not long ago, the Mechanicus just upgraded our orbital defense system. This large-scale military exercise is the first time for the new system. The temporary line has some interference due to data redundancy. The officer has asked us to fix the error as soon as possible, but it will take some time, I assure you that this exercise will never be delayed, this is just a temporary technical adjustment.”

"I hope so. I really didn't expect the Ultramarines to make such mistakes. It seems that my stereotype of you will change."

Erebus made a little sarcasm to the other party, and then cut off the communication.

It's just a temporary technical adjustment.

Erebus withdrew his thoughts, and he looked to the other side of the berth, where Erebus saw a group of marine soldiers quickly gathering and running towards the battleship of the Ultramarines. Obviously, they are going to start preparing to restart the battleship to make room for their good brothers.

Seeing this, Erebus didn't think much, and gave the order.

"Ready to leave the berth."

It didn't take long for Erebus to realize that he had made a foolish decision.

【Time: -52.32.16】

"The Word Bearers fleet has left the orbital space station of Calth and is heading for the far berth."

Lumière withdrew her gaze, looked at Duanmuhuai and reported.

"Hehe, a bunch of idiots."

Hearing Lumière's report, Duanmu Huai also showed a ferocious, cold smile—just like the replica of Erebus just now.

"They definitely don't know what's waiting for them there, but I think they will soon."

"To be honest, Mr. Knight, I think you seem to be very nice to these people?"

An looked at Duanmuhuai curiously, and asked, she had been following Duanmuhuai for a long time, and it was the first time she saw Duanmuhuai being so interested in a force. Even on the side of the Star Alliance, Duanmu Huai maintained a close relationship with them, but he seemed to be very caring about this Ultraman.

"Of course, Ann, you don't know yet, this world is the only fruit left."

Duanmuhuai put his hands behind his back, stared at the star map in front of him, and said lightly.

"It is the most likely place to revisit and rediscover the golden age of humanity, and the destruction here is absolutely intolerable and unacceptable."

As Duanmu Huai said, the five hundred worlds of Ultramara—the four star fields with a total of five hundred habitable planets are recognized by players as the most likely place to reproduce the golden age of mankind among the empires. Other places seem like shit to players, even Terra is no exception——because of a large number of artificial transformations, the former cradle of humanity has completely become a place where even drinking water must be transported outside. A ghostly place on the earth where you can't even find a source of water.

In contrast, Ultramara has beautiful mountains and clear waters, follows the path of sustainable development, and has outstanding people. The mortals and Astartes also get along harmoniously. The parasites on the emperor, or the mortals think that the Astartes are a group of biochemically modified terrifying devils.

And in fact, even after the Horus Rebellion, the five hundred worlds were the most developed and prosperous galaxies that survived. It is conceivable that if the Word Bearers hadn't caused any harm to this world, what height it would have reached.

Of course, there is also a small story in it, which is about the representative of civilization. Many players believe that White Scar is the representative of their civilization. The reason is that White Scar admires and likes poetry, is a learned warrior, and is proficient in craftsmanship, art and philosophy. Isn't this similar to them?

But Duanmuhuai and other players completely disagree with this view. They think that the white scar has nothing to do with their civilization at all. The white scar is a nomadic tribal culture, and has a dime relationship with their farming civilization? Besides, the Primarch of the White Scar claimed to be Khan—it would be strange if Daming didn’t kill him. Duanmu Huai was the first one who was unwilling to accept the white scar to represent his own civilization. You won't accept that there is a leader named Khan in your own civilization, what kind of mess is this?

Even if you can drag a few words, it can't change the essence of your nomadic tribal culture, right?

In Duanmuhuai's view, the Ultramarines and the five hundred worlds of Ultramara are closer to their civilization structure, and some foreign players say that the Ultramarines Legion is ancient Roman culture --- in Duanmuhuai's opinion, it is purely for his own face Posted on the gold, no one knows what Rome looks like, and you are ashamed to say that Ultramara is Roman culture, and the family-loving tradition of the Ultramarines should obviously be more compatible with us.

If you have to say it, you foreigners are more like Space Wolves, World Wrappers and Word Bearers.

Brutal, vulgar, fanatical and superstitious, you also like to engage in genocide, and you don't take a bath. Isn't this the consistent tradition of your Western civilization? As far as your virtue is concerned, you are ashamed to say that you are the representative of civilization of the Thirteenth Legion? Thick-skinned.

"Okay, it's time for us to act, let's go."

At this time, Duanmuhuai also withdrew his thoughts and gave an order.

Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's order, the fleet quickly started and moved towards the direction of the Cos space orbit.

When the Inquisition fleet entered orbit on Calth, the Word Bearers fleet commanded by Erebus had just arrived at the apogee, and at the same time, Erebus also received the signal from the Inquisition fleet.

"That's the new fleet? Wait, isn't that..."

At the beginning, Erebus didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was a fleet of Ultramarines. However, when he saw the shining golden churches on those battleships, Erebus trembled!

He has not forgotten how much trouble this mysterious fleet caused to the 62nd Expeditionary Fleet in Istvan's message. You must know that Erebus was by Horus' side at that time, if it were not for the protection of the gods , I am afraid that the entire Sixty-second Fleet is about to die. Afterwards, Horus was so angry that he almost went crazy, and vowed to wipe out the fleet completely.

However, they actually appeared in Kos?

This is a coincidence? Or did they have a plan?

At this moment, Erebus directly sank his face.

He began to wonder if he had made a stupid decision.
