Chapter 631 Director of the Battle Group’s Think Tank
Extreme Star Region, Yashan Star Region, Chogris.
Horqin Prairie, an endless sea of grass.
A group of storm prophets sat in a circle, meditating with their eyes closed. The breeze blew through the sea of grass, and the meadows undulated like green waves. The faces of these storm prophets were old and generally of oriental appearance. But among them, there was a Storm Prophet with a very young face and a special appearance.
Brown skin, black curly hair, high nose and deep eyes.
This is an unnamed Space Marine.
He only has a nickname in Horqin: Danzhuer.
It means "reincarnated person".
As we all know, the White Scars are space Mongols, the Space Wolves are space Vikings, and the Ultramarines are space Romans. Many would consider the Thousand Sons to be space Egyptians due to the Thousand Sons Legion's famous Scarab Terminator Guard.
But actually, strictly speaking.
The Thousand Sons should be considered space Persians.
Denjul has a very standard Persian appearance. Of course, in the Warhammer 40K universe, this is called a Prospero appearance. He looks completely different from the Chogris around him, but he also looks like a storm prophet:
The MK8 anti-chaos power armor is covered with layers of animal fur. The shoulder armor and chest armor are decorated with knots, wooden amulets and various bone products. It looks more like a steppe shaman than a space warrior. .
"call……"
Danzhuer breathed out a soft breath.
Then slowly opened his black eyes.
"How's it going, Tenjul?"
The oldest storm prophet closed his eyes and asked:
“Feel the call of the road to heaven?”
"Feel."
Danzhuer replied with a wry smile:
"The call is getting stronger day by day. I'm afraid I will get lost on this road sooner or later, really."
"Don't worry."
The storm prophet opened his eyes with a smile and said:
"You are one of the most powerful space warriors with psychic talents I have ever seen. You don't even need to meditate to practice to feel the path to heaven. You must be good at using your talent, instead of resisting it and fearing it, and quickly Should have said..."
"I know, you said it many times."
Danzhuer took over the conversation helplessly and said:
“The great Yesugei once said that the two worst mistakes humans can make are to pretend that the road to heaven does not exist, and to set foot on it.”
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Storm Prophet said with a smile.
The White Scars traditionally refer to the non-physical realm as "The Road to Heaven." Yesugei's famous saying is very classic. It represents two wrong directions: First, pretending that the road to heaven does not exist, referring to the imperial truth written by the emperor, deceiving oneself and forcibly denying the existence of subspace and psychic energy. Second, embarking on this path refers to a series of serious consequences caused by the Thousand Sons Legion's bottomless abuse of psychic energy.
Yesugei's words are often quoted by Jaghatai. It represents a moderate Eastern philosophical concept that is rare in the Warhammer 40K universe: impartiality, not going to extremes, restraining desires, respecting nature, and asking for There is a degree.
After the Burning of Prospero, except for Revel Avida, who later became the founder of the Gray Knights and was known as the "Perfect Thousand Sons", the other surviving Thousand Sons wizards faced the Chaos God, especially the traitorous one. Bewitched by strange corruption, almost the entire army was wiped out, and no one could withstand the corruption. In contrast, throughout the Horus Heresy, not a single Stormseer of the White Scars fell to Chaos.
The psychic performance of the Storm Prophet on the battlefield may not be as devastating as the Thousand Sons Wizard.
But the Storm Prophet never fell, including in the next ten thousand years, they never fell into Chaos.
"But the road to heaven brings me pain."
Danzhuer frowned and shook his head:
“I always have a feeling that I can change everything around me according to my thoughts, whether it is vegetation, soil, rocks, people, or animals, and shape them into whatever I want. I’m afraid I can’t control myself. "
"Then let me tell you another story."
The old storm prophet said slowly:
"It's still about Talihutai Yesugei, the greatest storm prophet in the history of the White Scars."
Hearing this, other storm prophets around them opened their eyes and listened quietly to what the elder said:
"When Yesugei was sixteen years old, he completed his spiritual awakening. In his dream, he dreamed that monsters with a body like a bull's head, a man with an eagle's head, a man with a snake's head, and a man with a fish's head found him, over and over again. He was asked to drink the red liquid in the wine glass in his hand, but Yesugei knew that the person who came was not good and did not drink it. Then another man in golden light walked out from behind him. Yesugei could not see his face clearly, but he noticed The four monsters showed a certain degree of fear and disgust towards this golden figure. Even if the golden figure did not speak, Yesugei knew that if he drank that glass of wine, he would be greatly offended, but in order not to anger the four terrifying monsters , Yesugei took a sip and then refused. Then the four monsters left angrily, while the golden figure stayed next to him."
The breeze continued to blow over the weathered faces of these storm prophets, blowing the black hair hanging down from their temples. There was a smell of grass in the wind, as well as the faint fragrance of wild flowers.
"What do you think this story illustrates?"
Storm Prophet turned to look at Danzul.
"It shows that Talihutai Yesugei is a cunning person who is good at playing both sides without offending both sides."
Danjul nodded and said.
"Hahahahahaha!"
The Storm Prophet raised his head and let out a heroic laugh:
"That's true. But what I want to tell you is, Danzhuer, your talent is a gift given to you by subspace. You don't have to completely reject it or accept it completely. You can also choose Taste a little, just as Yesugei did. It's up to you."
"I understand, Master."
Danzul nodded solemnly and said.
The haze between Danzhuer's brows dissipated slightly, but his heart was still full of confusion.
The biggest problem that troubles him is not his overly powerful talent, but his self-identity.
To this day, a key question that Danjul still has not fully understood is: Who am I?
"Danjul" is just a nickname. In fact, he doesn't know who he is at all. Qingshan Khan did not hide anything and told him all about his life experience:
He is not a natural person but a clone. The clone object is a powerful Thousand Sons warrior-Amon, nicknamed "The Eye of the Black Crow", the company commander of the Ninth Society of the Thousand Sons Legion, the commander-in-chief of the Order of the Blind, Ma Genus personally accompanied the attendants. Not only that, the gene seed he used to advance to Space Marine also came from Amon. It was Qingshan Khan who discovered him from the depths of the battleship of the Thousand Sons wizard Ctesias - apparently the Chaos wizard wanted to perfectly copy a new "Amon". Unfortunately, this plan was ultimately ruined by Qingshan Khan at the time, thus saving him from the fate of becoming another person. Denzhuer did not participate in any battle between the Shenji Brotherhood and the Iron Buddha Chapter. Qingshan Khan just sent him to Chogris to learn from the Storm Prophet.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
During these ten years, "Danjul" has been studying psionic knowledge diligently every day. The Astartes have the ganglion, a modified organ, and it stands to reason that they would not dream easily. But he dreamed almost every night that he was a native of Prospero and a citizen representative of the commune of Tizca, the City of Light. He dreamed that he picked up a giant red baby on the planet and raised the baby into an adult. From teaching the baby magic knowledge to learning magic knowledge from him in turn, the giant baby was named "Magnus"... …He dreamed of the blazing fire and ferocious wolves. He dreamed of the exile of others and self-exile. He dreamed of Azhak Ahriman and his scarlet letter spell: tens of thousands of his comrades were shining in the light. They turned into puppets with no body and only armor...
Danzhuer was tortured by the dream and was in pain.
He couldn't tell who he really was.
Even so, Danjul is still incredibly powerful. On the one hand, he studied the psychic lore of the White Scar Stormseers. On the other hand, he can recall all the knowledge of the Black Crow School among the five schools of the Thousand Sons Legion just by relying on his dreams. And what many people overlook:
Danjul underwent three additional surgical transformations invented by Qingshan Khan, and had a second spiritual awakening.
He is a new and different space marine.
Denjul easily defeated the Chief Storm Seer of the White Scars in a psychic duel three years ago. At that time, he also alerted the Primarch. Jaghatai learned that Denjul's gene-seed came from the Thousand Sons Legion. He also expressed some emotion: He said that he and Magnus used to be very good friends.
In the process of further study in Chogris, Danzhuer always comforted himself: I am not Amon, the Thousand Sons, I am an Iron Buddha warrior, and I am a member of Qingshan Khan. In this way he wanted to regain and strengthen his identity. Unfortunately, just ten years ago, Danjul heard bad news from Ilya:
The Iron Buddha Chapter was engulfed by the warp storm.
His battle group lost contact completely as a result.
He was just shattered.
Even the last trace of identity is gone.
The old Storm Prophet quietly looked at the young Thousand Sons warrior across from him who had once again closed his eyes and meditated and entered a state of meditation. He clearly knew every problem that was plaguing the opponent, but he was neither powerless nor wanted to intervene, because it was his own He must wait for him to figure out his inner ailments and demons.
The Storm Prophet looked up to the distant sky.
Sparse clouds drifted in the blue sky.
Suddenly, the corners of Storm Prophet's lips curled up into a smile.
"Get up, Tenjul."
The old storm prophet suddenly spoke.
Danzul slowly opened his eyes.
"It's time for you to set off for Quanzhou Monastery."
The old storm prophet said calmly.
Danzhuer frowned slightly when he heard this:
"What does this mean, Master?"
Storm Prophet showed a mysterious smile:
"Your Chapter Master is waiting for you there."
The Thousand Sons warrior was stunned for a moment.
…………
Yashan Star District, Qiaogris, Quanzhou.
The Inquisition cruiser arrived and was quickly spotted by the White Scar fleet patrolling the system, and was asked to identify themselves immediately. It can be seen that the entire fifth battle group is still in a state of combat readiness, a little vigilant and even nervous.
The Inquisition cruiser was identified and allowed to dock at Chogoris. Looking down from the orbital space, Chogris still maintains the original natural style of the wild world as a whole, with mountains, grasslands, rivers and oceans that have not experienced any development. There is no heavy pollution like the hive world, but there is also no construction. There is not even a spaceport on the entire planet, and the cruisers can only be parked above the Chapter's fortress monastery.
Fu Qinghai took a shuttle to the surface, and the shuttle landed in the Quanzhou Monastery in the Kuntaka Mountains. Fu Qinghai took off his ghost armor and put on his blue shell. When he walked out of the cabin, he found that there were already many familiar faces waiting to greet him:
An old woman wearing an old military uniform.
A Leviathan-type siege dreadnought.
There are also many, many White Scars warriors.
"Qingshan!?"
Fu Qinghai was not wearing a helmet. Seeing his face, Ilya Lavare immediately exclaimed and stumbled over, as if he wanted to confirm.
"Szu."
Fu Qinghai quickly supported the female general.
"Qingshan, are you still alive?"
Elijah held Fu Qinghai's gauntlet with both hands, raised his head and looked at his face carefully, and said with a look of disbelief:
"Hasn't the Iron Buddha Chapter been engulfed by the subspace storm? I have repeatedly confirmed to the Star Torch Tribunal and the Tribunal many times before that you have escaped from the storm?"
"I'm the only one out of trouble."
Fu Qinghai simply explained:
"This matter is a long story, Si Zu, let me explain it to you later. Where is the Great Khan now?"
Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.
"He...he's missing."
Ilya lowered his head and said with a pained expression.
"hiss……"
Fu Qinghai took a deep breath when he heard this.
Why the hell is it still too late?
"Chasing the Dark Eldar into the Webway?"
Fu Qinghai asked tentatively.
"Even you know?"
Ilya raised his head and asked blankly:
"I haven't even reported it to Terra yet."
really……
Fu Qinghai cursed secretly in his heart.
But he was also confused: before going to Chogoris, he recalled the setting information in his mind. According to the normal time line of the Warhammer 40K universe, Chagatai disappeared in the 081.M31 period, and now it is 080.M31, why did he disappear a year in advance?
At this time, several storm prophets were whispering in the crowd behind Elijah Lavare.
"Is that person sure to be Qingshan Nayanhan?"
A storm prophet asked.
"I don't know. The Iron Buddha Chapter has been trapped in the subspace storm for ten years. He can be anything. Have you ever wondered why he is the only one who came out?"
Another stormseer asked rhetorically.
"We'd better be cautious and confirm."
Some people say that it is never a mistake to be careful.
"Humph, it's not necessary."
A muffled groan suddenly sounded above the heads of the group of storm prophets. A hoarse and rough voice came from the dark observation hole in the armor of the Leviathan siege dreadnought.
"No need to bother you with any psychic confirmation. I only took one look and I knew he was still the same guy, the boy I personally brought back from the colonial stronghold!"
The fearless mecha hummed.
I could hear the displeasure in his voice.
Several storm prophets looked at each other.
"According to what you said, Wokuotai Nayanhan."
A storm prophet said respectfully.
"The Great Khan fought both stragglers of the Traitor army and Dark Eldar slave raiders. He fought against a powerful Dark Eldar lord on the world of Corruthil-5, and disappeared while pursuing the xenos deep into the Webway. .”
Ilya Lavale recounts the situation.
"One of the Archons of the Dark Eldar Cabal claims that he is here for you this time, Qingshan. He wantonly spreads visual materials and audio information about massacring and torturing the residents of the sector in the Yashan Sector. His methods are cruel and outrageous, and he also Your name was mentioned in the video."
Elijah Lavare reminded.
"Mentioned my name?"
Fu Qinghai was slightly startled when he heard this.
"Yes, he said he wanted revenge on you."
Ilya nodded and expressed his certainty:
"This also aroused the interest of the Great Khan."
Fu Qinghai searched around in his mind.
"Ah, I remembered it."
Fu Qinghai suddenly realized:
At the beginning, he had just obtained an Emperor-class battleship and escorted Master Quinto to the Frontier Sector on a Goliath-class factory ship and countless Imperial transport ships. The Goliath-class factory ship was like a piece of meat in the universe, attracting the attention of many enemies including the Ork Bloodaxe Pirates, the Night Lords Chaos Warband, and the Dark Eldar Slave Fleet, but In the end, they were all defeated one by one by Qingshan Khan.
The Dark Eldar warship is the last enemy.
At that time, a Dark Eldar captain indeed said:
I want to come to the Yashan Star District of Baiscar to regain my position!
That guy...it turned out to be him!
Putting it this way, could it be that the Primarch entered the Webway a year in advance to hunt down the Eldar, and this series of butterfly effects were actually due to the Dark Eldar that I drove away many years ago?
The expression on Fu Qinghai's face kept changing.
"What's his name?"
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"He said his name was 'Vlask Malidlach', he styled himself 'The Murderous Prince of the Poison Crown of Commorragh', and he claimed to be the Archon of the Flesh-Skull Cabal."
Elijah Lavare said matter-of-factly.
"Very good, very good, Comoros, right?"
Fu Qinghai rubbed his teeth and spoke in a serious tone.
He clenched the spirit bone amulet in his hand.
If other races can't control you, forget it.
I can enter the Internet channel but I can't control you?
Wait for me! What bullshit murder prince.
Sooner or later I will have my hands free to deal with these little brats.
"Bad boy!!!"
There was a buzzing sound in the distance.
Fu Qinghai raised his head and looked over. A siege Dreadnought mecha walked over with two "arms" swinging. Its huge mechanical claws made a "bang bang" sound on the smooth stone floor.
"Boss, long time no see, are you okay?"
Fu Qinghai nodded and said hello.
The shout of "boss" made the fearless mecha elated.
Wokuotai Nayanhan laughed loudly and said:
"You don't have to worry, I'm doing well."
"but!"
The fearless mecha changed the topic and said in a deep voice:
"I was awakened from a dark slumber, and then suddenly I was told by these guys that my original gene was missing! This made me feel very bad, you know, kid? No matter what method you use, you You must be responsible for finding him, otherwise you will never come back to Chogris again!"
Wo Kuotai threatened every word.
"I understand, boss, leave it to me."
Fu Qinghai took over the matter without saying a word.
"Very well, I'm going back to sleep."
The fearless mecha turned around and left after saying that.
"No hurry, boss, wait."
Fu Qinghai raised his hand to stop Wokuotai.
The Dreadnought mecha twisted its body and turned back.
Fu Qinghai looked at Ilya Lavare:
"Sizu, who is the current leader of the White Scars?"
"Shaiban Khan."
Elijah Lavare said:
"I specified it, and they all agreed."
"Okay, where is he now?"
Fu Qinghai nodded and asked again.
"He is in the patrol fleet in the Yashan sector."
Ilya answered honestly.
"Inform Xiban Khan to come back. Also, please Sizu, please help me inform that the Destroyer Chapter, the Marauder Chapter, the Berserker Chapter and the Storm Lord Chapter, the four White Scars are in the shortest time. Get back to Chogris within time."
Fu Qinghai looked seriously and said in a deep voice:
"I have something big to announce."
…………
1. "Denjur" means "reincarnated soul boy" in Tibetan.
2. Strictly speaking, the Thousand Sons Legion has six schools. As mentioned before, the "Eagle School" that Ctesias belonged to was banned by Magnus because it was too dangerous. Later, the Thousand Sons Legion claimed that there were five schools. University school.
3. Yesugei's short story comes from the short story "Brotherhood of the Storm", in which Yesugei describes the golden figure as the "cold golden sun". This classic emperor's name was first spoken by Yesugei.
