(Icy Forest)

Here it is again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I looked around, and it was still the misty forest, the same as the last time I came.

"You've picked a good time to come, Pastor. Something big is going on out there. The strange crow of the crow sounded again.

I looked up vigilantly and stared upward, and sure enough, on the dead tree stood the pure white crow, the vile demon.

"Demons!" I roared, my hatred of the eternal enemy of humanity turning grimacing.

"Don't get so excited, pastor, don't you think what I said last time was right to the point? You don't want to hear me talk about what's going on out there this time? That's beyond your comprehension. ”

I stared at it indifferently, and the crow pecked at its own feathers indifferently and rolled his eyes.

What the hell is it trying to do? Demons are not to be trusted, and even 10,000 caution is not enough for Tzeentchy's demons, their true intentions are always hidden from prying eyes, and the easiest and most important way to destroy them is to shout in the name of the emperor, cut off their heads, chop their filthy bodies to pieces, and finally burn them with holy fire.

"Okay, seeing that you're just figuring out how to kill me, then I'll just say it." The demonic crow chirped and flew into the air, its pure white feathers falling to the ground and gradually turning into eerie symbols.

"Messengers and catalysts enter the treasury together, heroes open the way for them, mentors guide them, people fight and people die......"

Then the crow fell to the ground and let out a terrible chirp.

"But the trajectory of fate has changed, the established path has changed, yes, there has been a change, a force from afar has brought about a change, be careful, little priest, everything you know will soon be different."

The crow laughed—hard to tell, but I was sure that its shrill laughter was laughing.

It continued.

"It's a change I've never seen before, it's really interesting......"

"I don't think your gibberish is of any value, demon, or are you content with that?" I don't want to hear a word about it.

I saw the crow seem to swing its head, followed by another chirp.

"I know you're going to say that, pastor, that one of the great weaknesses of your race is that you don't realize the truth without being slapped in the face. The puppet emperor ......"

"Devil, stop your blasphemous!" I shouted, and lunged at the crow.

It got up and flew away, dodging my lunge.

"You're still so savage, little priest, you'd better go outside and see what's going on, and then be angry with me."

The demon vanished before my eyes, the fog quickly subsided and obscured my vision, followed by a wave of vertigo and I felt myself fall heavily to the ground.

I don't know how long I was dizzy, but in a blur, I seemed to hear someone calling out to me.

"Reverend, are you there?"

Even though the headache was about to crack, I finally managed to overcome my sleepiness and widened my eyes, Richard looked at me with a happy expression, and then pointed to the sky.

"Look at the sky, Lord Reverend," the corners of his mouth were almost behind his ears, "the Emperor has blessed us. ”

I looked up, and what caught my eyes was a startling sight, the hive fleet that had covered the sky over Tantalus had been swept away, and even the traces of chaos and corrosion had been swept away, and the sky of Tantalus had once again returned to its former clarity, as if the previous battles were all illusions.

The soldiers were cheering, the rangers and wanderers were patting each other on the shoulders, and the apes were smirking silly, yes, it would be impossible to overstate the excitement of seeing all the enemies that had loomed over their heads disappear.

I looked around, and only the Space Marines and Commissar Constantine were still talking to Ryan with a solemn face.

I made a gesture with Richard, pushed through the joyful crowd, and walked towards them.

"The Emperor is above, what's going on?" I forcibly pressed my joy and asked solemnly.

"As you can see, the swarm and chaos are gone, it's ridiculous, I never thought I'd come across such a ridiculous thing, is the emperor really watching us and helping us?"

Commissar Konstantin tugged at his collar with some irritation: "Then I should probably scold a few people." ”

"I'm sorry, but I just saw something, right in the sky, a huge pure white flash engulfing the swarm, and although I haven't seen the emperor apparilate, it's clearly a punishment from the Empire."

Brother Faeli whispered, his tone heavy on the back: "Actually, according to the records, that white explosion is most likely an attack by the fleet of the Dark Remnant...... Damn, I should have known that as soon as Taryn showed up, they would follow. ”

"Dark Remnant Fleet!" Konstantin took a breath and his tone became fierce: "That's great, I've always wanted to see if the blood of these heretics is also red." ”

"They won't necessarily come down to Tantalus, will they?" Ryan asked, "Is their target just bugs?" ”

"Little cubs, if you say that, it's true that they're almost always there to fight Tyranny." Konstantin's eyes flashed fiercely.

"But I don't think these cunning heretics are here now, it's just that simple, here...", and then, he stomped the ground, "Something must attract them, just as it attracts Chaos and Tyranny!" ”

"Treasury ......" I suddenly looked up, staring intently at Private Vipoli as he was in a daze.

Yes, he has been muttering about what the emperor's guidance, what exactly does Ankoostan have? Is it the direction of the emperor, or is it a hoax?

Or is there the secret that draws these enemies of the empire to their succession?

The great shock made my eyes flicker, and then I saw the gaze of Brother Phaeli.

Full of scrutiny, and what is hidden under the dark eyes, the unseepable.

"Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, we have to keep going. Let's focus on the current situation, is there anything else going on in the time I just fell asleep? ”

I felt a little irritated by Faeli's eyes, so I asked a question to divert the subject.

"What else?" Konstantin said with a bored face: "This locomotive is driving very steadily, and it is estimated that we will be able to reach the station in two days." ”

"If it goes well." Ryan sighed, and the two armbands on his shoulders flashed.

"Wait...... Ah, congratulations, Second Lieutenant Ryan. "I looked at the badge that symbolized the rank, and then at Konstantin, and I understood what was going on.

"Yes, this little cub is not bad!" Konstantin laughed: "You didn't look away, as long as you beat him, he can be a piece of officer's material, I just awarded him a title, how is it, is it more pleasing to the eye?" ”

"Indeed." I nodded, smiled, and said, "This should be the second good news I know today." ”
