Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 52 Everyone Loves Sanguinius
The Trading Town is a local trading settlement where the Baal people conduct basic commerce and trade, but most of the items traded are artifacts scavenged from the ruins of the city.

It is one of the famous areas of Bar-Secandus, other famous places include:

Heaven's Land: This is where the angels descended, located near the cliff where the Blood Tribe first discovered the capsule carrying the gene of Saint Guillemos. This is the main settlement on the planet.

Seraph Peak: The gathering place of the Baal tribe, a massive amphitheater carved directly from the natural mountaintop.

High Hill: High Hill is an excavated site within the Fallen Chain Valley where true history from the ancient war between Baal-Priam and Baal-Secandus can still be found.

etc.
Galen followed Abakan and his party to the trading town. In order to avoid the Primarch's body shape similar to that of an archangel, as well as the strange charm that it exuded on mortals all the time, he used a piece of black gauze that was large enough to make a cloak and draped it over the gorgeous armor.

But even so, the Primarch's size and physique, which far exceeded that of a mortal, still caused a commotion.

The riot was not quelled until Abakan told everyone that this was ancient armor excavated from the ruins.

"We are going to resupply food, water, medicine and other necessary survival supplies. You can walk around the town, but please don't cause any more riots!"

Abakan was like a strict teacher lecturing the Primarch who was much taller than him.

"Don't worry, I'm very good at sneaking in and hiding."

Galen nodded confidently.

After getting the guarantee, Abakan and others left with peace of mind.

The Prototype wandered around the market aimlessly, picking up all sorts of items from the sand, from simple artifacts like toasters and percussion pistols to fragments of unknown industrial products.

Most of these Baal people themselves don't know what they are.

Suddenly, something on a stall caught the Primarch's attention.

They were some huge stone slabs, completely covered by black cloth so that no one could see them. A lot of people gathered around them, talking in low voices.

"what is that?"

The Primarch asked a man on the periphery.

He was initially startled by the Primarch's huge size, and then calmed down before explaining.

"The murals dug out from the ancient ruins are related to a huge dynasty in the pre-Baal Prime era."

"A huge dynasty?"

The Primarch was confused. Is there such a thing in the history of Baal?
The man continued, "Yes, the Great Dynasty, that's what we call it. No one knew about it before.

A few years ago, people began to excavate huge murals from the ruins, which recorded a great ancient dynasty and their heroic myths.

According to the most widely circulated rumor, the mutant beasts in the desert, such as blood eagles, man-catching clams and man-eating spiders, as well as Baal fire scorpions that are twice the size of humans and crocodiles as big as hills, are the remains of that mysterious dynasty. "

The Primarch's eyes changed uncertainly, he stroked his chin and nodded silently, "These stone tablets should be quite valuable."

"value?"

The man seemed to have heard some joke and stared at the Primarch as if he was a fool.

"What value can it have? It's just like a child's random doodle story. It can only be used as a bedtime story.

You are not serious, are you? This kind of stone tablet is no different from the stories that tribes wrote for their tribal totems in ancient times.

We used to believe it, until the holy archangel descended on Baal, and the tribal wizards immediately abandoned the "precious" tribal totems and instead produced a new set of myths praising the archangel's holiness.

Then the great angel taught us with gentleness and patience, saying: I am not God, and there is no God. Let us not believe in Him. "

Huh? The Baal don't worship Sanguinius?

The Primarch was in disbelief, his mouth slightly open. Shouldn't everyone love Sanguinius?
"You don't believe in archangels?!"

The man shook his head in panic, signaling Galen to stop talking nonsense. "Of course I believe in the Archangel. He is the only one, and He is the true God.

But if I say I don’t believe in Him, God will be happy, and I am willing to endure this pain to please Him.”

Crystal tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.

"So, the huge dynasty and the like must be a myth made up by ancient wizards. Only the archangels are the truth."

"."

Garen was silent, but this was very Sanguinius.

"I want these slabs."

The Primarch pushed through the crowd, unloaded a few bolter shells from the Wolf King's Spurner pistol, and threw them in front of the vendors.

Bullets, especially bullets from powerful grenade launchers, are high-quality hard currency in some worlds with weak industrial facilities.

Without waiting for the vendor's consent, the Primarch packed up the stone slabs and the baggage and took them away. Those stone slabs, which were huge for mortals, were as small as a palm in front of the Primarch.

Garen then walked around the market a few more times, but found nothing that interested him.

By the time they returned to the assembly point, Abakan and others had almost prepared all the supplies.

The journey to Heaven's Land continues.

During the journey, the Primarch read the contents of the stone tablet, which contained the following story.

A pair of brothers in an ancient dynasty, one of them was extremely powerful in martial arts, and the other was extremely wise. They made great military achievements in expanding the country's territory.

But the two brothers were just fragile mortals. The eldest brother, who was good at strategy and commanding troops in battle, was on the verge of death due to illness in middle age. The younger brother, who was a general, begged the emperor to save his brother's life.

The emperor saw the loyalty and achievements of the two brothers, prayed to the gods worshipped by the royal family, and the gods responded to the emperor.

In accordance with the will of the gods, the emperor built a giant device that allows mortals to receive divine energy and ascend to become demigods.

"It sounds like Tzeentch and Khorne are selecting the Chosen Ones among the mortals. Could this be a story made up by the followers of these two?"

The Primarch fell into deep thought: "It also looks a bit like the history of the Necrons. It is not ruled out that this is a method used by Tzeentch to disturb people."

From the direction information given by the stone slab, the ascension device from the mythological era seemed to be hidden in his destination, Tianlin.

The Primarch crushed the stone tablet in his hand. He was really afraid of these four old men.

We are still in the development stage. As for the arduous task of fighting the evil gods, we should wait until we have stacked up the Heart of Steel and bought six pieces of equipment before we go to block their lair.

The corrupt power of the evil god is simply cheating. You can never guess when they will set a trap around you, and which of your close ones will become the evil god's pawn because of an idea.

If the Emperor had not intervened, Demacia would have suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, his offspring are pure (referring to the fact that two of God's chosen ones have already mixed in).

"Only a fool like Lorgar could fail to see that the Word Bearers' Captain Erebus is a minion of Chaos."

Galen held his head high with confidence.

We have to find a chance to kill Erebus.

Baal believes in Saint Guilles, and He does not reject this belief because the people of Baal are so miserable that some subtle religious beliefs can become the spiritual pillar of the people of Baal.

However, Sanguinius would still teach his descendants with gentleness and patience: I am not a god, and there is no god.
