Chapter 107: Holy Terra

Three months later.

Solar star field, solar star region, solar system.

Fu Qinghai stood in front of the porthole, looking at the devastated ancient planet in the vast space, and through the surface of the ruins, he could perhaps imagine how brilliant it used to be.

Terra, also known as "Holy Terra" or, according to ancient records, "Earth", is not only the throne world, political and economic center of the human empire, but also the birthplace of humanity in the whole universe.

"Are you coming to Terra for the first time?"

Saloyan Scarson didn't know when he stood by Fu Qinghai's side.

"Yes."

Fu Qinghai nodded.

"Me too."

The red-haired warrior's tone was full of emotion:

"It's a bit hard to look through the trenches, craters and wreckage in front of you and imagine what it was once all about."

The layers of defense built around Terra's palace by the Fist of Empire, as well as the huge craters created by the orbital bombardment, are still faintly recognizable even when viewed from space.

"Then you're a Fenris."

Fu Qinghai said.

"Haha, how good can you be like a clever barbarian?"

The red-haired warrior crossed his hands on his hips and laughed.

Saloyan Scarson typically healed the scar and forgot the pain, or maybe he knew that the separation was approaching, so he didn't have to worry about Fu Qinghai beating him again.

Fu Qinghai didn't bother to explain to the red-haired warrior that he was not a Qiaogrisian, he looked at Saloyan Skason's optimistic appearance, which was completely different from many bitter and hateful space marines, if it weren't for the timeline, Fu Qinghai even suspected that this guy was the most famous big fool of the wolf group - Bloodclaw Lucas.

Fu Qinghai turned his head, stared at the huge space station that was slowly approaching in the distance, and muttered to himself in a low voice:

"Lions Gate Spaceport ......"

The Lion's Gate is the largest of Terra's many spaceports, with orbital elevators that lead to the surface and a main structure that runs through low Earth orbit, stratosphere, mesosphere, and troposphere.

During the Siege of Terra, there were numerous battles on this famous spaceport, fought by loyalists and rebels alike over the crucial bridge between heaven and earth, and the Sons of Horus once captured the spaceport from the defenses of the Imperial Fists, then recaptured by the Chagatai Khan with the White Scar Raid, and then Motarian led the Death Guard to fight again, but without success.

The three Cobra-class destroyers docked at the spaceport, Fu Qinghai followed the fighters of the space wolf off the battleship, and the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs had been waiting for a long time.

"Lord Scarson, Lord Ruth and your legion are already stationed at the legion station, please come with me."

"Wait a minute."

Fu Qinghai stretched out his hand to stop the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

"Divide one person out and take me to the White Scar station."

The officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs looked surprised, but they didn't expect that there was a white-scar warrior mixed in the fleet of the Space Wolf.

……

Terra is the first and largest nest world of the Human Empire, its soil has long since lost nutrients, its atmosphere has become a heavily polluted fog, and giant buildings like a maze are scattered all over the planet.

The Earth's oceans were evaporated as early as ancient times due to the enormous heat generated by the massive population being squeezed onto one planet. In order to meet the needs of the population, all liquid water needs to be melted and distributed to the inhabitants after a cargo ship carrying a comet carrying ice crystals from outside the solar system enters Terra's orbit.

Most of the mountains have been flattened, but the Himalayas still stand tall – supposedly due to the existence of a giant laboratory beneath the mountain, where the Emperor created twenty genetic prototypes and the first Space Marines after the Unification War.

Although Terra was ravaged by the earlier era of Technobarian Warlord Melee and the Siege of Terra in the Horus Rebellion after the War of Unification, it is still one of the most populated planets in the Human Empire. In the dark world beneath the countless buildings at the bottom of the nest, there are buried long-standing secrets that are completely different from the surface.

Sitting in the shuttle, Fu Qinghai's eyes looked far away through the glass window, looking at the snow-capped towering peak, and at the glittering golden palace complex that covered the peaks.

In Fu Qinghai's heart, there is no kind of pilgrimage-like awe of believers, only sighing and looking up at this legendary place.

The shuttle landed on a temporarily leveled square, the ruins around the square were still not cleared, many workers and servants were busy around the square, the dust raised by the shuttle seemed to provoke a few workers to curse loudly, but when they saw a space soldier coming out of the dust, they immediately lowered their heads and closed their mouths.

Fu Qinghai saw fear in their eyes.

In the past, Astarte was a legendary hero and the patron saint of the empire, but now after the civil war, the people of the throne world have only fear for Astarte, fear regardless of faction.

Fu Qinghai sighed in his heart, followed the military affairs officials who led the way, and walked towards the legion station with white scars.

In the dry wind and sand, there is still a faint remnant of radioactive dust and scorched corpses, and the red-robed technical priest is directing mortal laborers and servant slaves, dismantling wartime bunkers and repairing buildings on the surface, like a swarm of ants clinging to an anthill.

Restoring Terra is a huge project, with the engines of the towering machines rumbling, and the entire war-torn world of Thrones has been transformed into a huge construction site, and in the intervals between the construction sites, there are also some field hospitals to house and treat those who are covered in scars.

The aftermath of the Horus Rebellion has not yet subsided, and the screening and strangulation of sporadic traitors continues, and the faces of the people are full of numbness and pain, and the work at hand is repeated like the walking dead under the supervision of the administrative officials.

Walk through toppled high-rises and over cracked roads.

Fu Qinghai retracted his gaze, raised his head, and suddenly saw that a Space Marine, wearing MK3 steel-type power armor, was standing in the distance waiting for him.

He took off his helmet, revealing a weather-beaten bronze face that Fu Qinghai was very familiar with.

"Talral!"

Fu Qinghai pointed at the warrior in the distance, and couldn't help shouting, he ripped off his helmet, stared at his eyes that were red with excitement, and stood in place, looking at the old man in the distance.

"Hahaha."

A happy and relieved smile appeared on the old face of Talal ravine, he pointed to Fu Qinghai, and sighed with emotion:

"You're still alive, Aoyama, I knew that you were still alive......"

"Knock, knock, knock, knock."

Heavy footsteps sounded, and a huge and square bipedal mecha with a white body and red trim slowly walked out from behind a building.

Leviathan siege dreadnought.

In the cockpit in the middle of the dreadnought, the face of a strong man with a fleshy face was revealed, he looked at Fu Qinghai condescendingly, pulled his hoarse broken gong voice, and laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha, little bunny, I knew you weren't that easy to die!"

Fu Qinghai opened his hands and looked at the two people in front of him, there were tears flashing in his red eyes, his mouth was half open, his voice trembled, full of sincere emotion:

"Wokotai, you are still alive, you are all alive, it's good, it's good......"

"The Emperor is on top, this is fucking good!"
