The lost hounds find their master, just as the lost child returns to his mother's arms.

The message that all the war dogs were ecstatic spread throughout the legion and the warriors.

The Twelfth Legion's genoplasm has returned.

Suddenly, the Legion Astartes returned to their flagship, the Resolute Resolve, and awaited the order from their genetic protogen, the warriors who had been waiting for glory for too long.

Yes, another great creation of the Lord of Mankind has been rediscovered, in the war-torn and desolate eastern star field of the Galaxy, which is also the main direction of the Great Expedition.

It was a pristine and peaceful planet, and her name was Nukeria.

The once aristocratic ruling class wielded a myriad of advanced technologies from the Dark Ages, and brutally oppressed commoners and slaves in bloody ways.

However, as with all Primordial Legends. The genotype led the barbarian inhabitants from the high mountains to overthrow the rule of the nobles and establish a great kingdom that became the true ruler of the planet.

Yes, almost every Primordial is the ruler of the planet they are on. The genoplasms of the war dogs are no exception, and the war dogs have always believed in their genetic protogenes.

Because almost as the most brave and skilled legion, the war dogs conquered one alien world after another in the Great Expedition, and they liberated countless oppressed human worlds in silence.

Now, the return of their genetic prototype has brought a perfect home world to the war dogs, and they also longed for the orderly Otrama of the Ultramarines, although the difference between Astarte and mortals can be called mud, but who Astarte is not looking forward to the home world created by the genetic prototype himself.

The pride of the bloodline made most of the Astartes ecstatic, and some of the Terra-born veterans worried about the future.

What if their genetic protogenone had the same unspeakable eccentricity as Perturabo, the leader of the Iron Warriors?

Even though the war dogs are unrivaled in their enthusiasm for war and slaughter, they are among the best among the twenty Astarte Legions.

But this bloodthirsty fighting that comes from genes and blood must also come from the genetic prototypes that flow the same blood as them.

Some Terra-descendant veterans are even worried about whether their legions will suffer heavy casualties due to the radical bloodlust of the genoplasms.

In particular, the Astarte Legion, which has a homeland world, will gradually take the place of veterans with recruits of the homeland world, and the veterans will continue to be sent to high-intensity battlefields under the command of the genetic protogen.

This kind of cruel thing has happened before.

With the progress of the Great Expedition and the continuous return of the original body, the countless warrior associations of Terra veterans are gradually disappearing, and are replaced by a new generation of military solidarity societies.

Karn, however, was not concerned about that.

In the majestic hangar the size of a city on the Resolute, the commander of the Eighth Company of the Children of the Mountains is assembling and counting his company—and it won't be long before the former Twelfth Legion will be officially renamed the Children of the Mountains, an honor that no Astarte wants to miss.

Karn watched as the Astartes in front of him, dressed in MK2 blue and white power armor, quickly assembled, and his heartfelt excitement resurfaced in his heart.

Every time he recalls that wonderful and precious day, the enthusiasm in his veins will become more and more intense.

Because, he was the first company commander to meet the genetic prototype.

……

……

The warm light from the warm candle flame danced all the time, and Elaine was silent for a long time in front of the heavy and delicate scarlet power armor and a pair of chainsaw axes that exuded a murderous aura.

Yes, it was a gift from her father, the Lord of Humanity, to return to the original genomics.

A pair of quaint power armor forged from adamantite gold and ancient craftsmanship, and a pair of master chainsaw axes known as 'Father of Blood' and 'Children of Blood'.

During their time in Nukeria, the Emperor and Elaine, father and daughter, discussed her otherworldly memories.

Even though the metamorphosis has faced her fate with the right attitude, the cowardice hidden in her heart is still easily sought by the Lord of Humanity.

After all, the Emperor had once gazed at the girl who was huddled in the incubator and shivering—and had personally given her the task of being a genetic proto.

For countless days and nights, the girl's despair was clearly transmitted to her Creator.

However, Elaine's fragile and sensitive cowardice hidden beneath a heavy mental barrier, even though she always attributed this cowardice to the fading mortal memory.

In fact, it is inseparable from her role as a genetic prototype.

The emperor understood one thing deeply. Whether it's Elaine, or Angron as his daughter remembers it... This cowardice will be the innate talent of his twelfth work.

Only pure and delicate humanity can despair of the slim future.

So, when the emperor first saw his daughter, who seemed resolute on the outside but was in fact soft-hearted, he understood that his work was successful and worthy of acceptance.

Because the only remaining humanity of the Lord of Mankind has indeed been inherited from her.

In the old days, when the Father of Genes pointed out the cowardice he had hidden, Elaine was tense for a moment.

She worked hard to sharpen and strengthen the walls of her heart, so that the cowardly nature would not be easily exposed. Because she is a traveler from another world, inheriting the existence of Angelon's destiny, the patron of the son of the mountains... A person like her must not easily expose the gentle and fragile nature from the subspace, otherwise it will usher in another invasion from Chaos.

But the emperor accepted every part of his daughter.

He knew that the obedient genogen in front of him had already regarded him as his true father, and he knew that he was about to give the other party the duty of tool.

Even though he knew that his daughter was unwilling to face the threat of Chaos.

So, he confessed everything to this delicate-minded genetic proto. As the ruthless Lord of Humanity, he acknowledges Elaine's efforts to fight Anglon's tragic fate, accepts her otherworldly soul, and trusts in the crucial cowardice.

Because of the gift of Gene No. 12 that can link people's hearts, the vision in the human empire is like a warm bonfire, linking each other's hearts and minds to warm up.

Yes, the Lord of Mankind knew everything from the beginning.

From the time the Emperor rescued the humble and pitiful soul of another world from the two unsuccessful contamination of the Chaos Evil God, the vision of the future was revealed to him.

Most of them are not as vague as they used to be when they watched a corner. Some he had anticipated, some he hadn't, but it was always just a part of the library called 'The Future'... Far from being as important as the short-sighted and pathetic existence might think.

The emperor was open and honest with his daughter.

Whether it's Elaine or Angelon, they, as genetic protogens, must take on the corresponding responsibilities - and it is clear that this daughter is now more of a human lord.

Although Angron's story seemed to him to be a pity, it was only a pity, and in that ancient technology called the 'Butcher's Nail', the emperor faintly found traces from the blood god.

Clearly, the corrosion of chaos is everywhere.

From the Great Rebellion to the Age of Apostasy, to all the blasphemous and dark futures, the Lord of Mankind often sighs when he talks to his daughter about those topics, but he does not show any regret.

Nothing is as important as the moment.

Nothing is as important as the results of the Great Expedition.

Therefore, the emperor gave Angelon the responsibility to the genetic protogen.

Bring him more victories.
