Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 119 The Extreme Lion

"study?"

Luo Jia looked at Ryan with some confusion. He did not understand this sudden word.

Except for the damn mechanical tower that still stands on the land of Colchis, the battle report from the front line is clearly very good.

Whether it is the casualties of the mortal auxiliary army or the vigorous research trend of the technical priests, it is shown that this sudden war is not as bad as imagined. The threat of these iron men is not even as good as the alien empire that the Word Bearers once conquered. .Obviously, all this was just an overreaction by the human empire, and even the stone that had been hanging in mid-air in Luo Jia's heart fell to the ground.

However, in this great situation, Ryan, who had kept Luojia very nervous, suddenly behaved in an incomprehensible way. Such an abrupt and radical move even shocked the surrounding original body guards.

Although the Dark Angels seemed to have long been accustomed to whatever the lion did, the Word Bearers were not like that. Although they did not overstep their bounds and immediately stepped forward, their hearts were as flustered and anxious as Luojia's. , after all, this uncertain Primarch wants to destroy the home planet of his own legion.

"Yes. The harmless behavior displayed by these iron men... is just an appearance. They behave like a new civilization that knows nothing about anything - tactics, weapons, and even basic science. Everything about them is like the cornerstone of a primitive civilization. You can even call it [purity].”

"And you and I both know... the Iron Man ruins on Colchis come from the dangerous dark technological era. For that era, [purity] is a non-existent concept, just like the Low Gothic popular among the grassroots of the empire. There is no such word as [god]."

"Then, there is only one possibility for the situation we are facing now. They learned in disguise and turned our consultation into food for growth - and in that era, there were too many weapons that could use [consultation] as a means of destruction. Too many, and we must quickly destroy the planet and isolate everything in the surrounding sectors before their disguise ends."

Ryan answered Luo Jia's question indifferently. While transferring a lot of data to Luo Jia, he continued to operate the data pad and put the cyclone torpedoes stored in the Indomitable Truth into a state of preparation for projection.

"...Wait, I don't quite understand, Ryan. Wait a minute...I said it - stop your illogical behavior!"

Before Lorgar could figure out what Ryan said, he saw Ryan start preparing the torpedo, and immediately became angry.He suddenly grabbed Ryan's gauntlet holding the data pad, forcibly restraining his movements.

"..."

Regarding Luo Jia's sudden behavior, Ryan didn't say much. He just looked at Luo Jia indifferently. His wild eyes like ferocious beasts looked at the leader of the No. 17 legion in front of him, seeming to look at him arrogantly. Prey that doesn’t know the heights of the sky.

But his arm, which was forcibly restrained by Luojia, was trembling slowly. There was no doubt that they were wrestling quietly.

At the same time, the Dark Angels immediately stepped forward and seemed to begin to surround Luojia in a well-prepared formation.

However, the dull sound of several pairs of magnetic boots slamming down stopped their actions, and it was the Word Bearers who had long been unable to hold back blocked their way.

Unknowingly, the primarch guards of the two legions formed a confrontation—the most loyal and elite fighters in their respective legions looked at each other, their sharp eyes like hawks constantly searching for possible dangers in each other. Weaknesses exist so that we can kill them the moment the battle begins.

Looking back at the two groups of Astartes who were confronting each other, Luojia's eyes gradually became colder.Ryan naturally noticed their behavior, but he was still looking at Luojia, as if searching for what was in Luojia's deep purple pupils that were very similar to the supreme sky waves.

"I don't think I need to explain it a second time, Luojia."

"...Do you have to let things get to this point? Ryan."

"I didn't want it to come to this."

"Think of your legion, think of my legion, and those of the Mortal Auxiliaries and the Adeptus Mechanicus - they are all still fighting on the planet! And you are going to drop a cyclone torpedo on them for no reason? Even if you have extraordinary authority, you must not do this. I thought you were a trustworthy brother like Jaghatai, Ryan."

With Luo Jia's scolding, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Before each other's Primarch spoke, the Astartes remained silent - not one spoke or moved, although they all unconsciously reached for the weapons hanging on their leg armors. , but they know that this conflict will not start with the other side opening fire.

"When you are given an unimaginable burden, you will understand what I do."

"I hate riddles, Ryan. You need to stop this dangerous behavior immediately and explain to me why you are dropping devastating strategic weapons on our troops when they are superior."

"This is the best measure."

"If you can't explain specifically what you call 'measures', then all you're doing is provoking conflict between the Word Bearers and the Dark Angels!"

The deafening roar of the No.17 Legion Lord echoed in the conference room, and even the paper documents beside them were overturned by the high-pitched sound.

Yes, Luo Jia's anger was almost beyond words now, and his distorted and almost ferocious mantra face was full of confusion. It was really difficult for him to understand what Ryan was doing.

It's not just because the other party is preparing to drop a cyclone torpedo on their home planet, but because their legion troops are still on the planet, even though Luo Jia was prepared for the worst after Elaine left. : Forced to abandon Colchis in the face of an incredibly powerful enemy, he then summoned his descendants scattered across the galaxy to launch a holy war against the enemies who caused the destruction of their home planet.

Fortunately, except for the sudden appearance of the giant mechanical tower, there were no unexpected situations on the battlefield. The vulnerability of those iron men troops made Luojia very happy, because in his opinion, the crisis of this war has been greatly reduced. , but the words in Ryan's mouth that seemed like a fantasy really made Luo Jia confused. His brain was also troubled by the problem that had been born for a long time——

Why is Ryan so extreme?
