Chapter 391 1.5 Backstab from Good Brothers
[Cadia]
It is now 30k. Except for the Iron Warriors, the empire has not yet set foot here. Cadia is still a slowly rotating ignorant planet in the Eye of Terror.
This is an ancient planet. From a certain perspective, this planet is very suitable for the development of human civilization. There are large tracts of temperate forests, grasslands, and plains suitable for farming. However, nothing has developed on it. Decent human civilization.
When the Stormbirds landed, Luojia had used his original body's astonishing sight to see the locals hiding in the folds of the earth. They looked very rude and wore some religious decorations.
Luojia frowned without any trace.
Perturabo invites him to the "important planet" newly discovered by the Iron Warriors. It seems that the Iron Warriors are trying to build military facilities on this planet.
Luojia didn't know why this world at the junction of subspace and the physical world was important, nor why Perturabo insisted on building trenches here, but he believed that before doing so, Perturabo must at least educate Meet the locals.
The Storm Bird stopped on the dry plains in the north of Cadia. Luojia walked out of the Storm Bird's ship door. Through the dry and transparent air, he saw Perturabo and the huge alien building behind him.
what is that?
Lorgar thought to himself as he smiled gently and strode towards his brother, and Perturabo stepped forward to welcome him.
They exchanged a few brief greetings first, and then Perturabo looked past Luojia. He looked at the Imperial Guards who were performing guard duties behind Luojia.
【How is this going? 】
Perturabo's mouth moved slightly, and a voice that could only be heard by the two of them sounded.
Luojia was facing away from the Forbidden Army Vedana. He knew that the Forbidden Army gatekeeper could not see his expression. The smile at the corner of his mouth froze and hung there awkwardly,
[A failed prayer. ]
Luojia said softly, and at the same time he walked forward quickly, as if avoiding the sight of the forbidden soldier,
[He was ordered to join the Legion of the Word Bearers after the incident in the Perfect City, although I have repeatedly announced to my father. He lost my loyalty, but he still did it, and I can understand him. ]
Luojia looked at Perturabo with a strange light flashing in his eyes, which made him feel awkward,
[understand him? ]
Perturabo raised his voice in disbelief,
[He sent someone to monitor you, and you still hope—]
Luojia's eyes widened in shock. He quickly stepped forward and tried to hold Perturabo's arm, signaling He stopped talking.
But Perturabo ignored him. The Lord of Steel shook his hand, causing Luojia's attempt to be in vain. Perturabo looked at the forbidden soldier with his dark gray eyes, and he said in a cold and provocative tone,
[Did the Emperor ask you to monitor the conversation between Luojia and me? 】
The voice of the Imperial Guard Vidana sounded dull,
"This is my duty."
Perturabo smiled sarcastically,
"This is just a reminiscence between brothers. When did the conversation between the original bodies also be monitored? Of? ]
Before Vidana could speak to make things worse, Luojia quickly said,
[Just for a few minutes, I think the God Emperor has given you the power to act freely, Vidana. 】
At the same time, Luojia strode forward quickly, and the Forbidden Army staggered, but was stopped by Angeltai in front of him. The Word Bearer, carrying two spears on his back, stood silently in front of the Forbidden Army's advance. On the way.
In the end, Vidana could only watch as the two primarchs walked into the depths of the wasteland, talking and laughing.
————————
[I’ve always wanted you to see this, that’s why I invited you to this planet. ]
Perturabo spoke, and his eyes looked into the distance. Luojia saw a native man in rough clothes walking toward them surrounded by iron warriors.
It was a tall woman, her eyes were an eerie violet color, her clothes were sewn into layers of dry tan skin, and her clothes were densely covered with words written in dried blood.
Luojia's brows furrowed without trace. He seemed to be ignoring Perturabo beside him, and was staring at the female tribe leader.
【What do you see? 】
Perturabo whispered in Luojia's ear, Luojia still frowned, his eyes full of confusion,
"Colchisian?" 】
Colchis, the home planet of the primarch Lorgar.
Luojia whispered, [Is that Colchis language? ! 】
Why does a primitive woman from a remote star field have words written in Colchis on her clothes?
As the woman approached, Luojia's eyelids twitched without trace. He recognized that the tan skin was sun-dried human skin, and the words on it were pagan prayers!
The God-Emperor is above!
Luojia clenched the scepter in his hand, and Perturabo looked at Luojia thoughtfully beside him. The Lord of Steel spoke,
"Do you recognize those words, brother?" 】
Luojia gritted his teeth, his scepter was already ready to move. This kind of blasphemous existence should not survive for such a long time!
He gritted his teeth and said,
[She believes in blasphemous paganism, my brother, you know what I am going to do——] [
Wait,]
Perturabo interrupted Luojia,
[Why do you know these words, Luojia? 】
This allowed Luojia to temporarily escape from the dissatisfaction of seeing the heresy, and he returned to the doubts he had at the beginning,
【Coincidence? ]
Luojia said uncertainly. He stared at the prayers, and the sentences became more and more familiar. He had seen them in Colchis.
[...Before I unified Colchis, similar heresies did exist in Colchis, but I used the faith of the God-Emperor to eliminate them. 】
Luojia said seriously,
【Listen to me, brother, maybe you can’t understand the power of faith. It deliberately makes the weak strong and can also make the strong fall. I am now convinced that the writing on that native says Heretic prayer, you should kill her. ]
Luojia paused, and then his tone softened,
[Brother, maybe you couldn't identify the words on it before, but now you know clearly, there are blasphemous sentences on them, and those cultures should be burned to the ground. . ]
Luojia had been staring at the heretic, but suddenly he seemed to realize something. He turned to look at Perturabo, and found that Perturabo was also staring at him with a frown. The Lord of Steel waved his hand,
signaling the Iron Warriors to take him into custody. The native stopped.
[I mean, Luojia, why is it such a coincidence? Is this really a coincidence? ]
Luojia choked, and then he seemed a little annoyed and spoke,
【Are you doubting me? brother? Don't you even trust me? And your so-called evidence is that any planet has the same language as Colchis? ]
Perturabo spread his hands innocently,
[I'm just worried about you. I'm curious about what happened in the Perfect City - you've changed too much, Luojia. ]
Luojia took a deep breath and said angrily,
[My descendants were corrupted by the heretics of Colchis, but the God-Emperor saved me and my legion, that's it! ]
Perturabo walked to his own feet, and he said slowly,
[I still can't understand your faith, brother, I mean... even after everything happened, why are you still so persistent? ]
Luojia sighed and said sincerely,
[I don't believe in the truth of the empire, brother - this world has gods, and the God-Emperor is the savior of mankind. He created the original body, created the space warriors, and then initiated the revival of the entire human race. The Great Crusade, He is selfless and a god, and we should follow Him and surrender to Him. ]
Perturabo was silent for a moment,
[I don't think he is a god. ]
He said firmly.
Luojia shook his head slightly. He had argued with countless original bodies on this topic countless times, but he would still stick to his point of view.
"He is,"
Luojia said,
"only God can perform miracles." 】
He heard Perturabo laugh softly, which made Luojia feel a little offended, and Luojia was a little angry.
[With all due respect, that's just what a powerful psyker can do. ] Perturabo said,
[Pretending to be a ghost...why are you the only one who takes it seriously? ]
Perturabo's language gradually became sharper, and Luojia frowned.
[You and I both know that it is far beyond the reach of human beings. I have discussed this with Magnus. Magnus has personally admitted that the God-Emperor's power is beyond the reach of ordinary psykers. Even Magnus, Nor can we reach His realm. ]
[Not to mention...]
Luojia paused for a moment,
[Maybe there is more than one...]
He said in a low voice, Luojia thought of Hades, the corrector under the throne of the God Emperor.
【perhaps. 】
Perturabo's voice sounded, and Luojia didn't know which sentence of Luojia he was answering.
Perturabo said,
[Please allow me to ask an offensive question, brother, why did you choose to believe in him? ]
Luojia became a little impatient, and he said,
"It's not that I chose Him. But He chose me - He shows the way for His followers and gives them the strength to survive and fight. ]
Luojia turned his head and saw Perturabo staring directly at him, with a color he couldn't see flashing in his eyes. Perturabo's hands were casually resting on his waist.
【Sounds interesting. ]
Perturabo said pertinently. Before Luojia could refute him, the Lord of Steel changed the topic in time,
[Let’s take a look at the foreign buildings I discovered recently. I think these are more impressive than those nagging natives. People get interested. ]
Perturabo said casually. He glanced at the female native and asked the Iron Warriors to bring her to the front.
[After I finish showing you around, you can execute her directly in front of that alien building. In fact, There are many such primitive people on this planet. I gathered them all in front of that alien building. These people are at your disposal. ]
Perturabo was uninterested, but in a flash he changed the topic and raised his tone again,
[You should come and see this. I discovered them recently, black stone obelisks. These buildings seem to be made of some kind of more... Established by ancient races, they are scattered near the Eye of Terror and can emit force fields to hinder the dispersion of subspace turbulence. 】
Perturabo walked forward quickly while talking. Luojia had to hurry up and keep up with Perturabo's footsteps, but he was not very interested in what Perturabo said. He listened in silence. As he stood, all he could think about was how to rid this planet of heretics.
Luojia didn't know why Perturabo's topic jumped so much, and the Lord of Steel's words flew past his ears.
[These buildings are quite ingenious. According to my calculations, if there were not these obelisks to suppress the subspace in this area, and if they were destroyed, half of the Obscure Star Territory and a small part of the Ultimate Star Territory would be trapped in subspace turbulence. . ]
[But what interests me even more,]
Perturabo said,
[the polarity of these structures can be reversed, they can amplify the warp, and if we change the polarity of these phalanxes - then they can cause The damage will be far more profound. 】
Luojia paused suddenly, and he looked at Perturabo subtly.
[This sounds dangerous. ]
[Yes,]
Perturabo responded naturally,
[So I'm glad you can come over, brother, the Iron Warriors alone cannot fully control this area. ]
Luojia smiled, but then he felt something. He seemed to hear a bird whistle, a roar, a whisper, and a gasp.
He turned his head and stared at the obelisk they were approaching, which didn't look like it was moving.
[Is that obelisk running? 】
Luojia turned his head and looked at the obelisk and asked abruptly, and where he couldn't see it, Perturabo laughed contemptuously,
"I was checking the obelisk, but then I decided to go first Come welcome you, brother. 】
The two Primarchs walked as they talked, and the dry earth cracked and sparkled with tiny scars under their feet. The Black Stone Tower was about to arrive. Luojia heard the shouts of people on the back of the giant tower. It was in Colchis language. They Shouting -
"Kill him!"
Luojia suddenly said,
[Perturabo, contact your guards at Blackstone Tower quickly. 】
He watched anxiously as his brother opened the channel, but only the noisy Colchis language sounded at the other end of the channel. This was the first time Luojia saw such an angry Perturabo. He heard the whistle of the Iron Warriors gathering. Voice.
[Let’s go take a look first. ]
Perturabo said gloomily,
[They cannot be allowed to destroy the obelisk. 】
Luojia nodded, and they started running. In a few moments, the two originals arrived at the battlefield. Luojia saw the corpses of nine Iron Warriors. The natives were trying to draw blasphemous symbols on them. The wet blood was on the ground. The painting is a magic circle, and the woman just now was directing them.
Luojia roared, of course he knew what was going on. Having fought against heretics for many years, he knew that these bastards could use witchcraft - no, they were making sacrifices!
Where the warp overlaps the physical world, sacrifice really does summon those beings!
They had to be interrupted before the sacrifice was completed. Lorgar rushed over without hesitation. There were two originals present. Unless those natives would use witchcraft more powerful than Magnus, this would be a battle. A battle without any suspense.
Luojia waved his scepter, and several mortals roaring blood sacrifices rushed towards him. Their muscles were abnormally strong, but Luojia just waved his scepter, and the sound of skull cracking sounded.
The wizards were interfering with him with trivial witchcraft, but Luojia remained unmoved. He rushed straight into the center of this simple altar, where the woman was dancing wildly, tearing her skin like crazy.
Without a trace of hesitation, Luojia smashed the scepter directly at the alien race, and at the same time -
buzz!
The black stone obelisk suddenly started to move, violent arcs of electricity rose up, with strange fluctuations of psychic energy. In just a short moment, the space here twisted and trembled.
Luojia's vision went dark for a moment. When he regained his perspective, he saw the scepter piercing the woman's body. The dying native was staring at him with a smile, "
Hello, Luojia."
She said softly,
"I My name is Ingersel. In our original destiny, we should have had a more wonderful acquaintance."
Luo Jia wanted to withdraw her hand with an expressionless face, but the woman's strength became extremely strong, and the woman's body began to Her skin was rickety, her skin was rapidly eroding, her bones were piercing her muscles, and some other existence seemed to be about to burst out of her body.
The twisted space whispered in Luojia's ears. Time seemed to be stretched to an extremely long time, and then to an extremely short time. He heard another destiny, heard the gods... No, no, no, Luojia silently recited the blessing of the God Emperor in his heart. This made him feel a little better, and he tried to retreat immediately, away from this place of psychic distortion, but the next moment -
[Perturabo? ]
Luojia turned her head slowly in disbelief.
He had never thought about it. He heard Perturabo's footsteps and thought he was coming to help him.
Luojia looked at Perturabo, who was expressionless. He looked down, and Luojia saw the bright red slowly oozing out from his back.
I'm quite busy today, and at the same time I'm thinking about ending this plot, so it's even later.
The result is still not over, it will definitely end tomorrow and Petula Boluojia will open the main line at the same time.
Regarding the original body, the lack of space is indeed a bit hasty, but my production capacity is insufficient.
ps, I think someone confused the Maelstrom and the Eye of Terror.
pps. 30k Cadia is the land of Chaos, the place where the Word Bearers "enlightened" in the first days of heresy.
