Chapter 319 Danus, the brave Tyranid hunter?
The Sanctuary of the Savior.
Bedroom.
Ron used the data pad to flip through the files sent by the search team about the traces of the Sons of Man.
He clicked on a picture in the file and projected it into the air.
In the picture, there was a mottled, old stone slab, but the holy image carved on it was clearly visible.
Around the holy image, a group of natives holding stone weapons were kneeling on the ground.
It seemed to be performing some kind of worship ceremony.
The technicians in the search team conducted a spectral analysis on the stone slab and determined that it was carved by some life thousands of years ago.
Hiss~
Ron looked at the holy image in the stone slab and took a breath: "Isn't this me? How could I appear thousands of years ago and be worshipped on a certain planet..."
The appearance of the holy image.
It was carved according to the provisions of the Holy Code of Redemption, with almost no difference.
He was full of curiosity and flipped through another picture.
It was another stone slab.
The stone slab was engraved with a new scene. Several beings similar to space warriors stood in front of the statue. They gave swords to the kneeling natives.
Seeing this.
Ron could probably guess what was going on.
But he still patiently looked at the detailed records of the search team's local search. Those records fully described the course of events.
The 55th search team found these things.
After they accepted the mission, they searched for several years near the area where the Sons of Man disappeared.
They searched several star systems along the way, but there was no signal response.
Until recently.
The 55th search team had its only harvest in several years. They found a faint signal.
The location of the signal was a desolate desert planet of the neighbor.
It was sent by the positioning system inside the territory vehicle.
This discovery made the 55th search team extremely excited.
They immediately went to the planet and found the locator embedded in the stone slab in an ancient Colosseum.
At the same time, several special stone slabs were found.
Those slabs not only recorded the worship ceremony of the savior, the space warriors, but also the scenes of the battle between humans and the Tyranids.
They also recorded some scenes of the natives sharing insect meat.
However.
Before the 55th search team could conduct further investigation, they were attacked by a small group of Tyranids tied with iron chains.
They could only return to space in a hurry and report the news to the Military Affairs Department.
Seek further support.
Ron stared at the large wok cooking insect meat in the relief of the ancient slab, and suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity.
That was the unique kitchenware of the territory.
It was still the high-end product he designed for Datong and others in person, using extremely rare alloys.
"It seems that there is only one truth..."
Ron pinched his chin and thought: "Datong was in the subspace channel and drifted to a desert planet a thousand years ago for some reason."
This is very likely to happen.
Subspace is a spiritual existence, almost a completely idealistic field, without too many physical rules at all, and time and space are in a very chaotic state.
After the Great Rift, under the influence of the energy of the Warp, some areas of the real universe also experienced time confusion.
This caused the time zones of various star regions to be unable to align.
Due to the uncertainty of time in the Warp, in some rare cases, some ships will arrive at their destination earlier or later than scheduled.
For example, some ships only spend a few months in the Warp.
But after arriving at their destination, they find that several years or even dozens or hundreds of years have passed in the real universe.
In extremely rare cases, some ships may even pass through the Warp and arrive at their destination at the moment of departure.
These bizarre and terrible accidents are widely circulated among the fleets.
This is also one of the risks that must be faced in Warp navigation.
In extreme cases.
Some ships can travel through time and space and return to the past.
There are many suspected examples of time and space travel in the existing records of the Empire.
For example, there was once a dark technology era ship named Eternal Soul, which entered the Warp journey during M24.
But the ship encountered a violent storm in the Warp, causing them to miraculously travel through time and space and come to a certain period of the Horus Heresy.
In the process of contact with the Empire.
The crew of the Eternal Soul insisted that they had been moving forward in the warp and reached the end of time.
They witnessed the formation of the galaxy and its ultimate destruction by Chaos.
These poor crew members issued a warning to the Empire.
However, these humans in the dark technological era.
How could they understand the ignorance and superstition of the people of the 40K Empire? They were soon arrested on charges of blasphemy.
Burned alive.
There is even a special order called "Time Court" under the Inquisition.
This mysterious order is responsible for studying and recording the time of different areas, combating the time anomalies caused by the use of the warp, and investigating the potential consequences of time travel.
The Empire has also made certain achievements in the study of time.
Many scholars who study time have left works on time.
Among them, the most famous is the work of August Hayden VII: "Avoid Becoming Your Own Grandfather and Other Paradoxes that Require the Ministry of the Interior to Create Non-essential Documents".
After Ron roughly determined what happened, he turned off the data board.
Now that the traces of the Sons of Man and the barrel have been found, the next thing will be much easier.
He sighed:
"In a thousand years, I don't know what the barrel has become. It shouldn't get worse and worse, right?"
In this regard.
Ron had a little expectation, hoping that the barrel could give him some surprises.
He was going to go to the planet in person and bring back the Sons of Man and the barrel.
...
Half a month later.
Distant stars.
Buzz~
Space fluctuations.
The Dream jumped out of the subspace channel and slowly stopped.
In the bridge.
"Savior, we have arrived at our destination successfully."
The captain reminded respectfully.
"Well, it's still quite far..."
Ron took off his eye mask, stood up from his seat and stretched, then walked to the front of the observation dome.
In his field of vision.
It was a brown desert planet.
According to the text on the stone tablet, its name is Danus.
This is a semi-desert planet with only a few oases for human survival. The 55th search team found the ancient Colosseum in the desert.
There are no signs of humans around it.
"Savior."
Taco from the intelligence department came over and reported:
"According to the latest intelligence, the 55th search team found a human regime on Danus and is in contact.
These natives entered the feudal dynasty era and established a kingdom called Karen, which has a certain level of technology and good combat effectiveness.
But most of these technologies are inherited from the technology of our territory, which is quite crude..."
According to Taco's description.
This feudal kingdom called Karen advocates force, and the technological differences in various fields are very serious.
It should be that after the barrel came to this planet, it affected the development path of the natives here in disguise, excessively elevated the technology in a certain field, and made it biased.
But in terms of faith.
The kingdom has a high degree of overlap with the territory's beliefs, and worships the savior very much.
Needless to say.
That must be the work of the barrel.
"Such pure faith..."
As soon as he arrived here.
Ron received a certain connection and felt the high worship of himself on this planet.
The strength of faith of many individuals has reached the level of blessing.
Some individuals can even bless twice.
That means.
As long as he wants, he can take this planet under his command at any time.
Ron looked at Danus and frowned slightly.
He could not feel the presence of the Sons of Man and the barrel here, which meant that they had left the planet at some point in time.
Missing again.
Fortunately, they at least left relevant clues.
Ron looked at Taco and ordered: "Let's go down and take a look..."
Not long after.
Under Taco's arrangement.
Ron stepped onto the landing ship heading to the surface.
He will go directly to the Kingdom of Karen to learn about the situation of the barrel over the years and see if they have left any news.
...
Kingdom of Karen.
Holy Land of the Savior.
Dust blew, and the towering golden sun and the statue of the savior stood on the khaki rock square.
At this moment.
The square was crowded with tens of thousands of devout believers.
Under the auspices of King Karen XVII, they held a grand ceremony to worship the great savior.
The great savior sent the holy angel, Lord Big Barrel.
Lord Big Barrel led the angels to resist the terrible alien Zerg, saving the people of Danus from danger, and taught people weapons and skills to fight against the Zerg.
And the skills of cooking Zerg.
It enabled the people of Danus to survive in this desert with a stronger body.
Today, the alien Zerg can no longer threaten people, but the tradition of hunting Zerg has been preserved.
That is the only way to hone warriors!
After the worship ceremony was completed.
Rows and rows of tall, muscular, and strong young men wearing rough linen shorts.
Climbed onto the platform.
These are the new blood warriors who are about to undergo the trial.
The new blood warriors will go to the trial sanctuary in the desert, hunt Tyranids, and bring back their bones and blood to offer to the savior.
They will cook and eat their own spoils, and then take the best bones from the insects and wear them.
After this ceremony.
These new blood warriors will be awarded the title of Tyranid hunters.
For the people on this planet.
Being able to personally hunt the Zerg, take their bones and wear them, and become a Tyranid hunter.
is the supreme honor!
Prince Salo stood at the front of the team, and he turned his head to look at his father, Karen XVII.
The king and the guards were all wearing solid insect armor and wearing insect bones that represented the honor of warriors.
Salo looked at his father with envy.
Because his father hunted a sand python alone.
The sand python is a Tyranid insect nearly eight meters long, with a huge body and amazing attack power, which is not something that ordinary people can fight.
But his father hunted it alone.
That was something that no new blood warrior had been able to do in decades.
"I want to hunt a sand python like my father did!"
Salo's face was determined, and he secretly swore in his heart.
He had been training hard for more than ten years for this day's trial.
In addition to tempering his body and practicing combat skills, he also learned a lot of knowledge about the actions and weaknesses of various Zerg species.
Know everything.
Unfortunately, the angels left.
This prince is a little pity.
If the angels had not left, the most ferocious Zerg hunters would have been able to be further tested.
Become a holy angel!
That is what everyone on Danus planet dreams of.
"New blood, the sacred trial is coming"
A priest with insect bone ornaments came forward and smeared dark green paint on Salo's face, which at that time represented the color of the angel.
"Wish ya'll good luck……"
The priest said so.
Hunting those Tyranid bugs from outside has always been an extremely dangerous thing.
But the people in Danus flocked to it and frantically competed for these trial spots.
This is their way of survival for thousands of years, and it is one of the reasons why the Danus people can survive.
Only by fighting can you survive. The weak only deserve to become food for insects!
When the faces of the new blood warriors were covered with paint, they came to the weapon rack to receive their respective alloy weapons.
In addition to some conventional firearms, there are also electric spears, chain swords, etc.
In holy trials.
They are not allowed to wear armor and can only use flesh and blood and the weapons in their hands.
Go hunt the Zerg.
Although these weapons are crude, they are all technological products and powerful.
As for the more powerful weapons, they are the holy relics left by the angels, such as bolt guns, power swords, etc., which are extremely rare.
Usually enshrined in temples.
If there is a crisis and it is necessary to request a holy relic, only the king and the strongest Tyranid hunter can wear it.
Just when the new blood warriors were receiving their weapons.
The crowd suddenly became commotion.
Many people looked at the sky and pointed, seemingly seeing something shocking.
Then, a large shadow moved over and covered the Plaza de Saviour.
It was as if there was something huge that blocked the sun.
Salo looked up.
He saw a huge ship in the sky, slowly approaching the planet.
However, the young prince had no fear.
He seemed to have thought of something, his whole body was trembling, and there was a hint of excitement on his face:
"Then...could it be the predicted holy ship?"
Before the Lord Angel left Danus, he left a prophecy:
One day in the future, the holy ship will arrive on this planet, and then the people of Danus will return to the embrace of the great savior.
Not only can they see the angels again, but they can also see the great savior!
more importantly.
That means the beginning of further trials, and he has a chance to become an angel!
Salo didn't wait for a reaction.
The priests knelt down on the ground enthusiastically and loudly announced: "Pious believers, the holy ship has arrived, and the great savior will come to Danus!"
Accompanied by the announcements of the priests.
People in the square all knelt down.
Karen XVII and the guards also half-knelt on the ground, welcoming the arrival of the holy ship with the etiquette of a warrior.
at the same time.
The fanatical prayers of the sacrifices rang out everywhere in the residence of Danus Oasis.
Everyone who saw the huge ship knelt down.
Welcome the Holy Ship.
Welcome that great existence!
after awhile.
In the sight of the believers in the Plaza de Saviour, a small ship slowly approached and landed on the square.
呲——
The ramp of the landing ship door fell down.
Ron stepped down, wearing a dark golden ceremonial robe, looking sacred and majestic.
As soon as he walked down, he saw people kneeling on the ground.
Still a little surprised.
Although he knew that this planet believed in the savior, he would not have any ill intentions towards him.
But such a warm welcome was beyond his expectation.
Presumably, this is the handwriting left by the barrel.
As a professional god...god stick, he is very familiar with these methods, or the methods of controlling beliefs in the territory.
They all come from the hand of his Savior.
"The savior has arrived!"
The high priest shouted piously at the top of his lungs, and then made a certain ritual gesture.
Kowtow.
Due to the force of the knock, Ron could hear the sound of the stone shaking.
"Hiss~ Isn't this too pious?"
He looked at the people kneeling on the ground and suddenly thought of something.
Then, let the Dream use the hymn projector to launch the savior's sacred music into the atmosphere of the entire planet.
The first appearance of the Savior.
Can't be vague.
Basically there is a standard process.
In the midst of melodious chants, Ron addressed all of Danus.
He blessed these devout believers with words and asked them to get up and restore order in their lives, so as not to have too much impact from kneeling for too long.
"That boy from Datong is very reliable in his work. It's not in vain that I love him so much..."
Ron was quite emotional.
after.
He accepted the audience of the local king Karen XVII and the high priest.
From their stories and related documentary records, we learned about what happened to this planet in the past thousands of years.
through this information.
Ron roughly restored what had happened to the barrel over the years.
Thousands of years ago.
The barrel was swept back to the past by the chaotic time storm of the subspace and drifted to this desert planet.
Came to this planet with the Son of Man.
There were also frigates of the Tyranid Hive Fleet chasing them, which was the source of the extraterrestrial Zerg.
The Tyranids spread rapidly in Danus, endangering the ecology of the entire planet.
Fortunately.
This is a desert planet, which limits the expansion speed of the Tyranids and does not lead to a larger-scale destruction.
After that, the barrel and his team continued to fight with the Tyranids of Danus for hundreds and thousands of years.
Only then did they completely suppress the threat of the Tyranids.
During this period.
The barrel also supported the local indigenous people, spread the belief in the savior, and taught them how to deal with the Tyranids.
Due to the shortage of meat in the local area.
He also taught people how to cook the slightly sour but delicious insect meat.
He left behind scriptures such as "One Hundred Ways to Stir-Fry Tyranid Meat", "Boiled Tyranids Are the Most Delicious", "How to Easily Kill Tyranids", and "What to Do When Encountering a Tyranid Tide".
Not only that.
Datong also gave the indigenous people relevant technology to help them build a country.
Became a holy angel sent by the savior and worshipped by the Danus.
Moreover.
The Danus also became a powerful race in the nearly thousand-year battle with the Tyranids.
Until more than two hundred years ago.
A strange crack appeared in the sky, and Datong and his team found a way to drive the mothership away.
"More than two hundred years ago, a space crack?"
Ron thought: "So, Datong and his team have been waiting for the crack that distorted time, and then they all left, probably because they wanted to return to the original time point as soon as possible..."
"Lord Savior."
King Karen XVII looked pious and full of expectations:
"The Holy Trial is about to begin. Can you stop and watch the battle between our warriors and the Tyranids..."
