The Master Forge drove his men, and beside him, a man dressed in dark gray Terminator armor carried a large banner on his back, and in the center of the banner was a shield with an open eye. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The Emperor is above, the master of the forge, how is the awakening ritual of the Elder Antak?" Commander of the Fourth Company of the Guardian Shield, Claude, asked, not wearing a helmet, and his expression was a mixture of reverence and reverence: "Your Excellency Elder Antak, how could he choose to wake up at this moment?" ”

"Yes, I can feel the spirits of the elders gradually awakening within the holy ark, praising the mechanical gods, it is a great honor." The blacksmith said in a cold tone, not discerning any sense of honor, although he did think so.

"My lord, get ready for injection." A servant asked.

"Come on, then." So said the Master Blacksmith.

"O ancient soul, elder who sleeps in the ancient coffin, the Emperor and the Warband are calling your name and calling you to fight for the Empire again."

A mechanical roar sounded from inside Dreadnought, and the ancient Venerable who had been sleeping gradually woke up from his dream.

"I ...... What is it now...... Date? A low echo rang out from within Dauntless, "John? ”

"No, Great Elder, Mentor John died two centuries ago, I am his apprentice Fedes, you have been asleep for three centuries, and now it is the year 996 of the Imperial Calendar. M41, do you recall anything? ”

“996.M41…… Is it already this time...... Who is the current Warband Leader? Although he had only just woken up from his slumber, Antak had quickly regained his sanity and ability to think.

"It's Lord Tuancles, Elder." Claude, who was standing aside, stepped forward: "Be vigilant and beyond!" I'm Crewe, the commander of the 4th Company. Your Excellency, it is an honor for each and every one of us to meet you. ”

"Touan Chris...... He is an ideal leader, and I am very pleased to have him as the commander of the warband, then, Your Excellency the company commander. Then Daring Do slowly activated his body and pointed his external surveillance camera at Company Commander Crude, "Say, why are you waking me up?" What is the predicament of the warband now? ”

"Actually, my lord, I'm afraid it's not just our warbands that are in trouble." The company commander's eyes suddenly became serious: "The entire empire is embattled, and the sirens are flashing red on all sides. ”

"What's going on?" The voice in the dreadnought was like rolling thunder: "What happened while I was sleeping? ”

"Threats from beyond the river, and peeps from the depths of the galactic subspace, esteemed elders, who are shaking the foundations of human existence." The commander of the fourth company said with a serious face.

"One by one, I must know what happened during my slumber when we arrive on the next battlefield."

"Yes, sir. First of all, from the dark space outside the galaxy, a powerful enemy has descended, we call them the Tyranids, their numbers are boundless, their greed is insatiable, they do not seek wealth, power, just to fill their never-ending stomachs. Wherever they passed, the sea evaporated, the air drained, and the nutrients covering the planet's surface were drained, leaving the entire planet with nothing but barren rock beds. The empire has now lost tens of thousands of worlds, countless star sectors have been reduced to ruins, and they are still multiplying.

Within the galaxy, the previously silent space necromancers continue to awaken, destroying the precious worlds of countless emperors. And within the subspace, Elder, IMHO, all the evidence points to the fact that the Cursed Marauders are preparing a new dark expedition, and this is the darkest hour of the Empire...... Perhaps the day when our millennium will finally end, when all calamities are brewing and waiting to erupt, we need your guidance, Elder, and we need to know where the warband is going. ”

Daring Do was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Any other news?" ”

“……”

"You're bothered, aren't you? There are still some things, some things that you don't evaluate well, that are bothering you, and I don't know if I should tell me? Daring Do said, "Say, young man, I'm not one who can be crushed so easily. ”

"Yes, sir." The fourth company commander took a slow breath, "There are still some ...... It's hard for us to tell, they came with Tyranny and made it their mission to hunt Tyranny, they come from ancient times, they are our former compatriots, the remnants of the dark technological age of mankind, the Dark Remnant, we call him that. ”

"Dark Remnant ......" seemed to have a hint of confusion, and Antak in the Ark muttered the word, "Sounds like the guys over there in Terra hate them, right?" ”

"Yes, elder. The Dark Remnants have never been taught and guided by the Emperor, and are unaware of the Emperor's approach, although they are few in number, they have advanced technology and strong military strength, and according to current information, Dawn of Darkness has not even managed to convince the Elves to join their side. Even today, more than two centuries after we have been in contact with them, we are still close to ignorant of them. Their purpose, their strength, and even where they came from are like a fog. And the most intolerable thing is that a few interstellar warbands who have abandoned their honor have actually given up the Emperor's gift to join the ranks of the Dark Remnant...... Their thoughts, and their presence, even if they themselves are unconscious, can stir up unrest within the empire. ”

"But there's no way the big guys in Terra can fix this right now, can they?"

“…… Yes, you are as discerning as the Warband Books, Elder. ”

"It's not a lot of ability, it's just that you've experienced a lot of things, and you can probably guess a lot of things, combined with what you said before, the big guys of Terra are now too busy to take care of themselves, and they are held by all kinds of threats, so they can't gather a powerful fleet enough to destroy the Dark Remnant, right?"

"Yes, sir. Moreover, the Dark Remnants have always been entrenched in the Far Eastern Frontier, outside the range of the Star Torch, and rarely enter the territory of the Empire unless it is to hunt Tyranid......"

"So be it." Daring Do slowly raised the multi-barreled hot melt cannon in his right hand, "I guess I'll wake up for a long time this time, but now, we have to win a battle first, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Elder, we are on our way to the world of the capital of Lendinium, where a massive Chaos Rebellion is believed to be breaking out."

"So, go and get ready, company commander, we all need to win this one first."
