Chapter 351 The Road to Expedition: The Legend of the Marshal
The sun was cut into pieces by the forest's canopy, and the golden shards were sprinkled from the air, and the fine pieces of sunlight passed between the dense leaves and treetops, like beams of light shooting into the silent woodland.

The bright orange sun, shining on the red-gold eyes, Magnus looked up at the canopy above his head, the breeze was blowing from the side of his cheek, the warm wind was blowing the red hair, and the same Swaying, and the whole forest.

The trees rustled in the wind, the swaying canopy clumps also swayed the fragments of sunlight, and the small irregular beams of light shot down from the overhead of the clumps of dark woodland moved left and right in the air with the wind-swept canopy, Spots of light flashed constantly on Magnus' face.

Magnus took a deep breath in the air between the woodlands. He buried his head and continued to follow behind Vito. Magnus kept walking at the end of the line, like an outsider, walking slowly in the sun The soldiers marched at the ends of the columns on either side of the forest path, watching Vito and Peter ahead from a distance.

Magnus felt like a stranger, he was not good at getting along with people, with his brothers, with his heirs, Magnus had always been immersed in knowledge, he was like a classic eccentric scholar That way, most of the time is spent in Prospero's great library.

Even the Great Crusade itself, for Magnus, was more about seeking more knowledge. He joined the Emperor's Crusade and set foot on the Star Sea, not for the rhetoric and stalwart goal of unifying the galaxy, but for a greater The purpose, and what really matters to Magnus, is to collect and protect that knowledge and technology that continues to be preserved in the dark galaxy.

Therefore, Magnus has been very withdrawn for a long time, few people can understand him, even his sons can hardly be called an understanding father, Magnus rarely communicates with people and tries to make others understand him, He was always on the side alone, busy with his own business.

Perhaps it is because of this that his popularity is so bad that almost no brothers speak for him during the Mikaya meeting, and after [-] years in the warp, Magnus is even more unaware of how to get along with others. His heirs were all turned into soulless puppets in the Curse of Red Son, and the rest of the Tzeentch demons, well, you can't expect them to be like a bunch of people can you?

Therefore, Magnus has been walking silently at the end of the team, taking the initiative to stay away from the Sun Army, those mortal soldiers who still regard him as the emperor's heir and the guardian of mankind.

For some reason, Magnus originally thought that he had transcended the emotions of mortals and reached a state of nothingness, but he looked at them and listened to the praise and respect of these mortals, but he unconsciously produced a trace in his heart. Ashamed.

Magnus looked around the silent woodland. Cyclops stopped after hearing a rustling noise. He looked at a deer behind the bushes on one side. At least, the creature looked like a deer.

It raised itself in the faint sunlight in the woodland, its shimmering purple fur looked up at Magnus, the horns on its head seemed to be between the entity and the energy body, the whole horn from the tip to the tip Glittering dizzying light.

The deer then turned and hopped into the depths of the forest, its ladder rustling between the grass and the bushes, and Magnus watched it, looking up at the swaying canopy above.

The serene sunlight was cut into countless fragments and shone on Magnus' face. He listened to the serene tree rustling and was silent for a long time. Balance, a long-lost peace filled his heart, and he himself had forgotten it. , How long has it been since it was as comfortable as it is now.

He lowered his head and looked at the advancing mortal warriors flanking Vito, those warriors who still regarded themselves as guardians of humanity, the great Primarchs, and Magnus looked at them, silently look.

But Lilith walked past him. She tapped Magnus' leg armor with the back of her hand and walked over with a smile. She took a brisk pace with her hands behind her back, tiptoed around and followed. Vito, Magnus also sighed softly and followed.

Magnus followed the team out of the towering giant tree forest. They walked out of the woodland and came to a huge gate. It was a steel gate that looked like it was dismantled from a battleship. The numbers and letter numbers written by the laser are imprinted, and in the center of the door is an eagle lightning logo symmetrically on both sides of the door.

Vito looked up at the sign, which he was all too familiar with. Although he had not seen it for many, many years, it was his own sign, Vito Constantine, the sign of the Supreme Marshal himself.

When he saw the sign, many memories flashed in front of Vito's eyes in an instant, and all the memories of the Great Crusade came to his eyes. He took a deep breath and looked up at a dark gap in the center of the gate. After that, there are beings that have been forgotten by the empire for thousands of years like that mark.

But Vito never forgot them, he still remembered the faces of everyone on the boat and their names, and he believed that as long as he saw them, whether they changed or not, Vito would recognize them.

But he really didn't know the guards at the door, because they were all young people here, the new generation, Vito didn't know them yet, but he believed he would know them eventually, and it wouldn't take long.

Standing outside the closed gate, a young soldier in the Sun Army Void Armor was holding a gun. He stood in front of the gate. On both sides of the gate behind him, there were positions composed of Aegis bulletproof shield walls. With a row of shooting holes, the guards behind it stood on the pressure plate and observed the surrounding situation with their guns.

Behind them is the huge iron gate, and on both sides of the door's frame, there are tall iron walls that extend out to cut off the forest and the Emperor's Dream, which has fallen to the ground. Vito looks up at the walls dozens of meters high. , It looks like a city wall made by directly inserting the peeled armor layers into the ground when the battleship crashed.

But it’s nothing. It’s made from local materials, and the materials obtained in this way can be guaranteed to be very strong. After all, it is the military armor of the real expedition period, which is much more reliable than a few trees or a city wall made of stones.

The guard standing at the front of the door, he was like a knight, and when he saw a group of people approaching, he immediately ran up with a gun, the young man ran to Peter and stopped a few steps away, He stood at attention and saluted Peter, "Colonel, welcome back, who is this?"

He said and looked at Vito next to Peter, who looked down at the young man in front of him and smiled, "Vito Constantine is at your service, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Vito Constantine? This name seems familiar." The young man tilted his head slightly and said in surprise. He looked at Vito in front of him and thought hard about something. He looked at the power that Vito was wearing. A, seems to have suddenly realized something.

"You're Astartes? Although I've never seen Astartes, I've only heard about it from veterans, but I believe they did mention an oversized armor or something."

"No, I'm not Astarte, but I do have something to do with them." Vito said with a smile, which obviously made the young man even more puzzled, as he watched Vito musing in anguish, while Peter smiled and walked away After taking two steps and wrapping his arms around his shoulder, the colonel looked at Vito and patted the boy's chest.

"This is my son, Andre. Obviously this stinky boy didn't remember the lesson that Virtus taught." Peter tapped Andre's head with his hand, and the latter held his head and complained in a low voice. But Vito was especially surprised, and he looked at Peter.

"Old Vertus is still alive?" "Yes, still alive, it sucks. Still have to listen to his boring lessons."

It was the young Andrei who answered Vito, who murmured and complained, but was slapped on the back of the head by his father Peter, "No big or small, well, you bastards are probably the same as him. Status, so let me hear it clearly!"

Peter raised his head and shouted at the young people in front of the gate. They all straightened their bodies subconsciously and stood behind the shield wall. He laughed loudly, while Peter in front of him continued to introduce loudly.

"This is Marshal Vito Constantine, the Supreme Marshal of the Empire, the Commander-in-Chief of the Mortal Auxiliary Army and the Imperial Navy, and all the Space Marines! Remember them all! Otherwise I'll let Oleg use the whip next time. To make you remember! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the young people responded loudly, as if they were afraid that their answer would not be heard by Peter and then be turned to Oleg.

But okay, Vito has another good news. His own military discipline chief, Oleg, is still alive, and he dares to say that among the mortal auxiliary troops of the All Expeditionary Army, it is the most severe, almost the same as the fist of the empire and the iron and steel. The warrior-like Oleg Military Discipline Officer has definitely caused these young people to suffer over the years, and Vito would know just by looking at their reaction after hearing the name.

Vito smiled and looked down at Andre, who was in front of him. He glanced at Peter, and then looked at Vito with great caution, who nodded slightly to him with a smile, "Ask whatever you want, Andrei."

"I'm sorry for taking the liberty, Lord Marshal, but you... seem to be different from what we've heard." Andrei said in a low voice, while carefully glancing at Peter beside him, who looked at him hugging his arms White stood aside, then looked up at Vito and shrugged.

Vito laughed, he raised his power claws, "Then what did you hear?" "Evirtus said that you are always shining with gold, lightning in your eyes, and your body, too. There's a big halo behind my head, sorry sir, I didn't do well in literature class, I don't know how to describe it euphemistically, but you understand, right?"

"Of course, young man, of course I understand." Vito smiled and raised his head to look at the young people behind Andre. He smiled and shrugged slightly, and the shoulders of the huge power armor undulated.

"Then, just follow what old Vertus said." Vito said and closed his eyes, he was silent for a moment, Andre looked at Vito in front of him, and then his eyes widened.

He and the young people behind him watched Vito slowly open his eyes. When his eyes were raised again, dazzling golden lightning jumped out of his eyes instantly, and the golden arcs whistled near the corners of Vito's eyes. A halo began to appear on the back of his head, accompanied by flashing golden lightning.

The halo like a circular flying blade appeared behind Vito's head a little bit along with the lightning, and then after the lightning slammed together on top of his head, the whole halo was formed, and a dazzling golden light came from behind Vito's head. Shooting, Andre could barely open his eyes when it was just that halo.

"How? Does this match your imagination?" Vito's voice became as thick and deep as those lightning bolts, like thunder in a dark cloud, and a powerful aura instantly affected Andre and all the young people. on the body.

When Vito pretended to be aggressive, Lilith, who was standing behind him, let out a laugh, and stood behind him with his arms folded, looking at the shocked young people jokingly, while Magnus also put his hands behind his back and stood in the woodland. There was a happy smile on the edge of his mouth, and they both watched as Vito slapped the twenties.

"How is it? Is it the same as what the old preacher Vertus told you?" Vito said, raising his power claws slightly, and the golden lightning jumped repeatedly between the claws and the claws, and Andre watched That golden lightning, she and the young people behind her, their doubts all disappeared with the beating of the lightning.

Andre was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands in a trembling salute to Vito, and all the young people behind him immediately saluted the marshal, "I'm sorry sir! I mean, marshal! It's a great honor to meet you, waiting for you. The command!"

"I have only one order, help me open this door, boy, I have to meet my old friends." Vito smiled and pointed to the door behind Andre, who was stunned for a moment, then nodded and pressed it down immediately A walkie-talkie on the chest.

"Open the door." Andre said, and immediately stood aside. He stood on the road with his chest up and looked up at Vito in front of him. When he knew that the person standing in front of him was even the Marshal himself, the look in his eyes Full of reverence, as if witnessing a god.

Vito looked at the giant door that was slowly opening in front of him. The lightning symbol was opened by the black door in the center and separated to both sides. After taking a deep breath, Vito nodded to Andre, and then walked towards it. In the direction of the gate, Magnus and Lilith followed suit.

Especially when Lilith passed by, she winked provocatively to Andre, those beautiful purple eyes made Andre stunned, his eyes closely followed Lilith, as if moving. Without opening, he watched Lilith and Vito walk into the gate together.

When Lilith passed by, the young people holding the handles at the gates on both sides were fascinated by her. Their eyes followed Lilith's figure, and the latter laughed with satisfaction and hugged Vito's. arm, and chatted with the latter in some language they didn't understand.

Peter punched Andre on the back of the head, causing him to wake up from his fascination. He rubbed the back of his head, which was sorely beaten by his father, and looked at Peter and asked, "Dad, who is that? Just that pretty girl, you see"

"Stop dreaming, you're not playing, I guess, that's the marshal's woman, at least it's the latest." "Damn, isn't that Captain Lena being green?" "Shut up, stop gossiping here, use The walkie-talkie contacted the ship and told Captain Reina that the marshal was here."

Peter patted his son on the shoulder and followed with a gun. Andrei shrugged. He looked at Peter and Vito who were walking forward, picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the communication button, "Hey, Ye Tower, can you hear me? Tell your mom that her ex-husband is here, ah, that's your new dad or something?"

"What?"

Across the channel of the walkie-talkie, a surprised young woman asked back.
