This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 127 Thank You for Your Kindness

The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. The strong smell of blood lingered for a long time, and the blood in the crater had coagulated into clumps.

Some small animals in the corners finally survived the disaster and poked their heads out of their hiding places. Rejoicing at having survived the disaster, they were ready to taste the abundance after the disaster, but then they were poisoned to death on the spot by the excessive amount of chemicals in the blood clots.

A huge bonfire was burning, where the fallen soldiers and the weapons they had used to fight Chaos were burned after cleaning up the battlefield.

The ashes drifted in the wind, running towards the distance along the slightly sloping terrain of the Principality of Leinster. Countless people were still searching for usable items among the ruins.

It was late at night, and the fire was still burning. Except for the gentlemen who wanted to communicate with the angels and the staff, most people had already gone to bed with the ruins as pillows, but there were still many people who could not take a rest.

A citizen of the kingdom in the city was searching hurriedly among the ruins. He vaguely remembered that this was his former home. When the war started, he had placed his children here.

wow-

As rubble poured down, he dug out a severed hand from the rubble. After briefly recognizing that it did not have any familiar features, the citizen threw it aside and continued to turn over the rubble.

The cost of resistance was huge. The Principality of Leinster gathered its last three million people, and most of them were lost in the brief melee.

Seth came to the side of the civilian who was turning over the rubble and looked at this ordinary person covered in blood.

In the past, the survivors of these wars would most likely have become the Flesh Tearers' dessert.

“There are no living people here anymore.”

Seth took a deep breath. The charming smell of blood was urging him to satisfy his desire.

His genetic instinct told him that this citizen's efforts were in vain.

"."

After receiving the response from the Emperor's Angel, this believer who served the country devoutly was struck by lightning, and he knelt down on the spot, exhausted.

"."

Seth looked at the civilian indifferently, walked past him, came to an area forty meters away, and began to stir up the rubble.

"what!"

A scream was heard from the ruins. Seth directly broke the load-bearing pillar embedded in the ground, reached out and pulled out a child who was still shrinking in the gap.

"I am an angel of the Emperor, and I have come to save you."

Seth spoke, his tone was not polite, even very stiff.

In order to prevent civilians from making irrational actions, they kept repeating this sentence during the rescue process.

But there is still an effect.

Although the vast majority of the people in the Empire are ignorant, thanks to the state religion, even the garbage guys in the bottom nest have heard of the legend of the Emperor's Angels.

"Ah."

The child stopped crying instantly.

I don’t know if he was scared.

Seth picked it up with his arms and was about to turn and leave.

"dad?"

The child suddenly spoke up, causing Seton to stop.

The citizen who had lost his soul seemed to have his soul suddenly thrust back into his body. He suddenly climbed up using his hands and feet and ran towards the place where the sound came from. Then he was blocked by the towering demon-like body.

To be honest, that body full of solidified blood scabs was really scary.

"grown ups--"

The citizen mustered up the courage to say something, but was interrupted by the child's words in his nervousness.

"father!"

The child said happily.

"In the central square, there are medical sisters."

After putting the child into the arms of a citizen, Seth walked towards the next area and continued to look for survivors.

"Oh, my little Maria, my darling."

Holding their children, citizens walked towards the central square, crying and laughing.

It turned out that he had found the wrong one.

The Astartes have sharp senses, especially the blood-thirsty Blood Angels, whose perception of living things is probably second only to the Space Wolves among the Astartes Chapter. As long as they relax their instincts a little, they can quickly detect living things in the ruins to facilitate rescue.

As for why these killers who chop people like meat grinders on the battlefield are here.

Because the angels are here.

Karna did not make any demands on these angel descendants. After confirming that the war was over, he followed the medical sisters back to the Principality of Leinster to rescue people.

The teachings of the Medical Sisters were quite good, but unfortunately too "weak" to become mainstream in the Empire. And the Blood Angels followed suit.

Anyway, they had nothing to do after the war, and they didn't like to burn people like the Black Templars, so they simply followed Karna to save people.

"Your Excellency the Inquisitor, is there any possibility that the Gavin Dynasty can still be preserved?"

In a reception hall whose dome was destroyed by a cannonball, Prince Leinster asked Aglaia nervously.

This calm old man, who remained calm in the face of millions of his subjects and countless heretical enemies, was now as nervous and uneasy as a student waiting for his teacher to announce his grades.

"After verification by the Inquisition, Gavin, the Imperial Knight World had a pre-war population of 3 million and a current population of 122 million. It was invaded by a Gamma Chaos invasion, and the planet remains at Level III Chaos contamination. With the support of the expeditionary fleet, it still falls within Imperial territory. This is our conclusion."

Aglaia handed over a report, and the tone of his voice was not one of discussion, but of notification.

"In the Gavin system, all descendants of the dynasty who did not participate in the defense of the Principality of Leinster will be executed. Aside from the Principality of Leinster, no town or city can retain any trace of civilization. All heretical creations and mutant creatures will be exterminated."

"The dynasty thanks you for your support, and the dynasty also appreciates your kindness, Judge."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, at least the dynasty's bloodline was saved.

Such a big incident directly led to the near fall of a knight world with hundreds of knight mechas. Killing nine generations of the family was not a light punishment.

Unexpectedly, the Inquisitor just brushed it off so lightly after asking a Space Marine think tank to look at it.

At the same time, he thought of Leonardo, who was sleeping with his servants by the fire outside. He wondered how this boy, who was so scared that he was shaking before the battle, could sleep now.

"Well, if there are any other emergencies, I will notify you."

Aglaia looked at the surprised Prince of Leinster. If it were in the past, she would definitely execute all these high-ranking knights in order to eliminate hidden dangers, and then let their relatives who were fighting outside come back to take over the dynasty.

But since Lord Ramses has reviewed and guaranteed it, there is no need for her to do this.

Then she turned around and went to write the mission report with a pile of existing documents.

Oh, easy.

The prince who stayed where he was, had not yet long to indulge in the surprise of his family's survival before he fell into another trouble again.

Unlike the Knight Worlds that joined the Mechanicus, they were formal vassals of the Empire and had their own Knight Mecha production lines before joining the Empire, but these production lines had been kept in the capital, Gavin, to ensure the authority of the High King.

but now
Not to mention that Gavin was already corrupt before the war, and it is hard to say whether the production line has been corrupted. The Mechanicus in space alone makes him feel very insecure.

"Perhaps I should communicate with the Mechanicus in advance?"

The prince pondered for a moment and began to worry about the future of his family.

Without the knight production line, every knight they destroyed meant one less. Without the support of the Mechanicus, the family would become ordinary imperial nobles, and their final fate would be to completely disappear in the vast universe.

However, the planet had just been erupted in Chaos pollution, and the Slaanesh heresy corruption centered on the Gavin Dynasty was an unprecedented blow to the dynasty's reputation.

The reason why the Knight Dynasty was able to independently retain the Knight Mecha was because of their children's unshakable loyalty to the Empire. As a result, the dynasty has now launched a rebellion, which undoubtedly proves that they can't even do their own job well.

"I get scared every time I see an Inquisitor."

When the Prince of Leinster fell into worry, Colonel Morse, the new commander of the Broken Sword, who had taken over from Bushling, whispered to his old friend.

"I think Lord Aglaia is quite kind."

Political Commissar Alex looked indifferent.

"If an Inquisitor had offered me help when the Military Affairs Department was blocking me from getting more equipment and personnel, and had simply acknowledged that I was overstaffed by more than 10,000 men, I would have considered her a good person."

Morse went on to say that at first he thought that the Broken Sword had suffered heavy casualties and needed 20,000 reinforcements, but when he arrived he found out that they were just equipment and others.

A full set of void armor with a self-circulating system and a series of armored vehicles were thrown in, and 20,000 people couldn't even pull out the infantry.

Fortunately, their combat mode is to advance jointly with the Astartes, so they don't have to worry about the personnel coordinating with infantry and tanks.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aglaia turned back.

Morse subconsciously lowered his head, picked up the military report that he had reviewed three times, and covered his face with it.

All in one go.

Aglaia looked at him with surprise, then said to the prince:
"The Inquisition and the Mechanicum have examined the remaining Knight production lines of the Gavin Dynasty. We have not found any traces of Chaos contamination. Under the decision of Lord Romulus, the Gavin Dynasty can still retain their sacred relics and continue to contribute to the Empire."

"Thank you, thank you great sage, thank you Lord Romulus!"

The voice was like the sound of nature, and Prince Leinster instantly felt that his previous worries were in vain.

"I would like to ask if you could spare some time. The dynasty will hold the most grand victory ceremony for them."

Although only a few million people were left dead on a planet, one must believe in the idiotic level of the Empire's infrastructure technology and the slavish nature of the humans, and they will definitely be able to hold the most grand ceremony for the great Astartes in two days.

Aglaia believed that this so-called ceremony was likely to fail, as Romulus's plan put the expedition fleet under a tight timeline.

"They still need to finish the war. If you have any questions, you can communicate with Lord Romulus. He is responsible for coordinating the entire expeditionary fleet."

She said this simply and went back to write the report.
