Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch.

Chapter 118 118. Why did he call me Warmaster?
The Hive Mind thinks, feels, hates and desires. Its emotions are so alien that even the delicate Eldar cannot decipher this hodgepodge of senses. Compared to its ocean of emotions, human emotions are like puddles on the roadside.

When the dazzling golden light pierced the barrier of subspace, a golden star seemed to rise in the Baal Galaxy in an instant. The light of the star was so dazzling, but it was not real, but slowly rising in the human heart. .

It was at this time that a large amount of disgust and fear emerged from the emotional ocean of the Hive Mind. This emotion is similar to the emotion humans experience when facing venomous snakes.

The Hive Mind is not afraid of the opponent's power - in fact, in its will, any power is its food, and no existence is afraid of its own food. But the opponent is different. The opponent will use sharp fangs to inject massive amounts of venom into it. These venoms will cause it to collapse, make it fearful, and make life worse than death.

Just the moment the opponent appeared, it instinctively wanted to retreat and escape from this galaxy. But when the Hive Mind looked at the dark red Baal star through its countless eyes.

It understood that this was the lair of those red warriors who burned its feeding grounds and shattered its fleet. It hates these red prey, and more importantly, it covets them.

From the unfamiliar genetic sequence, it tasted possibility, the possibility of new, terrifying beasts of war.

And in the lair of these red warriors, it knows that there are better ones there.

When crisis and greed coexist, the Hive Mind decisively chooses greed. The more top predators are, the more they understand the risks of hunting. But as long as they can lick delicious honey, brown bears don't mind being stung by bees a few times.

After a brief period of chaos, the Hive Mind reunited, and at the same time, the swarm launched a counterattack regardless of the cost.

In the dark space of the Baal Galaxy, the Blood Angels' fleet was not large enough to withstand the incoming Hive Fleet. They were like isolated islands in the vast ocean, struggling against the surging tsunami.

Their situation was extremely dangerous, but they still did their best in order to share the pressure on the ground forces. The Blood Angel fleet was divided into small groups as much as possible, and they flew up and down like a lone boat fighting against the huge waves.

Such a tactic of taking advantage of the sword is almost fatal, but it is also effective. The warriors who are churning in the sea of ​​​​insects can achieve a good kill record with every attack and retreat.

However, the number of insect swarms is too terrifying. Although fighting the sea is a heroic act, you will eventually perish in the ocean.

Every Blood Angel fighting on the battleship was exhausted physically and mentally, almost reaching the limit of what they could bear - if it weren't for the golden eagle light penetrating from the sea of ​​souls, which condensed their fighting spirit. , strengthened their will.

I am afraid that after fighting until this point, more than one-third of the Blood Angels will succumb to the black rage.

"This must be the power of the Holy Father!"

The Blood Angels who felt the miracle prayed in their hearts.

"Maybe it's an illusion. I feel like these damn bugs aren't that scary anymore."

After hearing this sentence on the voice channel, the captain of a moon-class battleship also nodded slightly, silently expressing his inner agreement, but then he heard an exclamation,
"Wait, this doesn't seem to be an illusion."

"what is that?!!!"

Including the captain, no voice in the voice channel asked about the specific meaning of this sentence.

Because the moment the sound sounded, all the Blood Angels in the battle saw an incredible scene——

The captain saw that the ferocious and orderly tsunami of insects that almost filled the entire Baal system suddenly turned into chaos in just a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the huge collision angle shattered the barrier between subspace and reality, and a terrifying gap was suddenly torn open in the physical universe.

The golden light burst out from the cracks in the subspace first, and in a way that violated the rules of the physical universe, it dispelled all the darkness in the space of the Baal Galaxy in just a blink of an eye.

This light is brighter than thousands of stars.

It is also warmer than thousands of stars - no matter how blazing the stars are, they cannot warm the coldness of the heart frozen in despair.

The dark space is completely lit up, and all the ice condensed in the human heart in the darkness is melting away.

The huge bow protrudes from the channel, and standing on the bow is a giant who looks like a creature from mythology, holding high the battle flag of the golden Sky Eagle.

Everyone saw this scene, no matter how far apart they were, even if they were thousands of miles apart, or even farther away, they all saw it clearly. This also violates the rules of the physical universe, and all living beings are inexplicably shocked at this moment.

In the shocked eyes of the Blood Angels, the majestic giant waved a golden flag, and the magnificent ship gradually revealed its true appearance.

The hull carried a huge city composed of statues and temples. Every captain who saw this giant ship showed a stunned expression.

This was a Queen of Glory class battleship that they had never seen before. The moment this battleship appeared on the battlefield, it used a huge collision angle to ram straight into the nearest swarm hive ship.

The equally huge insect swarm hive ship was instantly smashed in half, and the plasma shot out from the wound sprayed a thick fog in space that was enough to obscure the planet.

Countless magnificent ships followed closely and filed out of the sky, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, instantly tearing open a huge wound in the insect swarm.

The Blood Angels showed incredulous expressions and watched dumbfounded as this magnificent fleet sailed into the battlefield. The scale of the fleet was so huge that even the Tyranids, which were good at overwhelming the enemy with numbers, were dwarfed by them at this moment.

This fleet seemed to be endless. Finally, under the shocked eyes of the Blood Angels, another Glory Queen-class battleship passed through the passage of the physical universe.

"The Macragge's Glory, I recognize this battleship. And the other one... I think I've guessed it too."

There was another voice in the communication voice. Combined with the recent news of the original body's recovery and return, the doubts in the hearts of the Blood Angels seemed to have answers.

The fleet of the Primarchs took action again after clearing out the nearby swarm hive ships.

The battleship, emitting dazzling golden light, headed for Bawei and Bawei.

Macragge's Glory led part of the fleet to Baal Prime.
.
Bawei is on the ground battlefield.

The Blood Knights and Flesh Tearers, who had regained their sanity in the vision of the Aquila, collectively besieged the great demon of Khorne, Kabanha.

"No matter how many sacrifices are made, you will be driven away, demon!"

Yoel, the Lord of the Blood Knights, roared with rage and took the lead in charging towards the Great Daemon of Khorne.

Kabanha used a giant blade to chop the head of a hive tyrant into pieces. After hearing the roar, he set his sights on Yoel with a sinister smile on his face.

The big demon unfolded its scarlet bat wings wantonly, and its huge body exuded boundless power, arrogantly declaring its power to the entire world.

"Joel, are you going to challenge me? The humble Lord of the Blood Knights, you are not a demigod like your father. Even Sanguinius was severely wounded by me. What can you, humble, do? ?”

Accompanied by the words of the Great Demon of Khorne, a roar of endless rage like a beast suddenly exploded in Yoel's mind. The sweet and intoxicating smell of blood was tempting the Lord of Blood Knights to fall. , killing in fury until eternity.

"In the name of Sanguinius, the Blood Knight will never surrender!"

Joel roared, even though the blood gradually covered his eyes, his will was still fighting unyieldingly.

"No one cares what you think, little knight." Kabanha's huge body looked down at him,
"In my eyes, you are as lowly as these insects. The great Ka'banha never cares about your will. My rage has no end, and my power is unstoppable. Only a demigod like your father can Fight me. As for you, Joel, you can only submit before me!"

The scorn of the Great Daemon of Khorne was so strong that every word it spoke stirred up Yor's anger.

Kabanha's eyes were full of pride, the Blood Angel was its prey, and it believed that no prey could escape its pursuit.

After thousands of years of entanglement, it knows these blood angels too well. It knows that there is endless darkness and anger hidden in the hearts of these angels. It only needs the right time to become the most loyal believer of the Blood God. Just when he was about to continue to provoke Joel's anger,
"Boom!——"

A bright light as bright as thunder suddenly struck from the sky.

A bright beam of light connected the sky and the earth. Countless insect flying beasts were instantly killed. The corpses fell like raindrops. A violent explosion occurred hundreds of meters around the location where the ground landed. As a result, a huge gap was opened in the insect swarm. .

Kabanha paused and looked at the sky in astonishment.

The outer orbit of this planet should have been completely occupied by bugs. How could there be bombing by orbital guns?

Along with its doubts, as if in response, countless rays of light once again penetrated the swarm of insects in the sky. More densely packed rail guns rained down like crazy.

Then in the sky, countless airborne pods trailed long trails, falling from the sky like meteorites.

They smashed down one after another, the earth trembled endlessly, and smoke and dust rose up and rolled into the air.

"hiss!--"

It was also at this moment that the ferocious tide of insects suddenly let out a sharp scream. They quickly retreated as if they had encountered natural enemies, revealing the true face of the earth.

At the same time, Kabanha felt an aura that it hated extremely.

"Kabanha, I heard a arrogant voice, are you a loser?"

In the billowing smoke, a loud word rang out, and the spearhead of the words was directed at the great demon of Khorne!
"Dukele!—Damn you!"

Kabanha almost gritted his teeth and roared. When the original body had just awakened, it worked with Kahn to strangle the newly awakened original body.

Unexpectedly, this action would result in humiliation from the other party.

Seeing Dukel again at this moment, Kabanha could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His bat wings spread out and he jumped towards the billowing smoke and dust.

"boom!--"

Almost no one could see clearly how the demon acted.

Then in the thick smoke and dust, a loud collision was heard. The sound was deafening, like thunder suddenly exploding in the dark clouds.

The storm created by the confrontation between the two instantly tore apart the thick smoke.

The big demon's majestic body like a hill was instantly thrown away in the smoke and dust, and flew backwards at a faster speed than when it came. It did not stop the trend until it collapsed a mountain peak.

The ruins of the mountain buried the body of the great demon.

After the smoke dispersed, the Blood Angels also saw the majestic figure that had been hidden by the smoke.

Under the gaze of all the Blood Angels, amidst the sound of war horns, a giant who seemed to have stepped out of a myth appeared in their field of vision.

The moment the giant appeared, the endless fighting spirit in his bright eyes ignited the blood in the chest of every imperial soldier.

His left hand held a huge Sky Eagle battle flag that was more than twenty meters tall, and his right hand held a power sword as dark and deep as the abyss.

The opponent was not wearing a helmet, and his long black hair was dancing wildly in the airflow of the battlefield, and the scarlet cloak behind him was billowing like a sea of ​​blood.

Dazzling golden light overflowed from the Sky Eagle flag, making this figure seem to be bathed in the light of stars all the time.

It was also at this time that the Blood Angels understood where the vision of the Sky Eagle that helped them stabilize their will came from.

This is not the power of the Archangels.

But they were not disappointed because of this. After all, the person who came to save them in this world was also a demigod, a brother with blood ties to their holy father.

For every Blood Angel, bathing in this light that reaches people's hearts is equivalent to bathing in supreme glory.

"Warmaster! Are you back?" The former Blood Angel hero, a veteran of ten thousand battles who was put into the Dreadnought Mecha, suddenly rushed out of his position and crawled at the feet of the original body, almost crying. road.

After seeing this scene, the Blood Angels all looked nervous.

Veterans in the Dreadnought Mecha are the legion’s unique treasures and the legion’s heritage. They are not only veterans of thousands of battles, but also witnesses of the times. They have witnessed the development of the empire and the chapter, and watched each chapter leader grow from a recruit to a legend.

If Barr had not suffered a near-certain death, Dante would rather these veterans of thousands of battles sleep under the castle than use them in the war.

Such an important being collided with the great primarch in an extremely disrespectful manner. The Blood Angels were all worried at this moment whether the Emperor's son would become angry at the veteran of ten thousand battles.

But no matter how worried they were, at this moment, the veteran of ten thousand battles in the fearless mecha was still lying at Duker's feet, sobbing.

"Warmaster, after you left, those who came after you did not inherit your will. Horus launched a rebellion, and we failed to protect the Empire. Everything was destroyed, and our Holy Father folded his wings on Terra. The Emperor The emperor became a true god. The demigods gradually left and we failed to protect them. There was nothing we could do."

"We are sorry for you"

This veteran of ten thousand battles was very emotional, and his language logic was also a little confusing. The Blood Angels present looked at each other and couldn't even understand what he was saying.

Duker stood there, as motionless as a mountain, with emotions and anger that no one could see.

But at this moment, he was confused.

——Why did he call me Warmaster?
Duker was full of doubts. Why did the latecomers fail to inherit the will? In his memory, the last scene thousands of years ago was of slashing the emperor with a knife.

Does this will also need to be inherited?
He released the power of his mind and tried to penetrate into the heart of the Blood Angel.

But what he sensed was incomparable chaos.

Through the power of his mind, he could clearly sense that this veteran's spirit, emotions, and even memory might be in chaos.

——He must have been mentally disturbed after fighting for too long.

Dukel guessed in his mind.

He did not express his anger towards the veteran as the Blood Angels feared; instead, he leaned down, patted the opponent's armor, and said comfortingly,
"My child, you are doing a good job. There is no need to be sad or worried."

"Hope never ends."

　Happy Lantern Festival.

　　It was a bit late to have dinner with my family.
