Chapter 117: The Extreme Lion

"Studying?"

Luojia looked at Ryan with some puzzlement, he didn't understand this sudden word.

Aside from the damn mechanical tower still standing on the land of Colchis, the battle reports on the front lines are clearly good.

Whether it's the casualties of the mortal auxiliaries or the research frenzy of techno-priests in full swing, it seems that this sudden war is not as bad as imagined, and that these iron men are not even as threatening as the alien empires that the Bearers have conquered. Obviously, all this was just an overreaction of the Human Empire, and even the stone in Luojia's heart that had been hanging in mid-air fell to the ground.

However, in this good situation, Ryan, who had kept Luojia high level of tension, suddenly made an incomprehensible behavior, such an abrupt and radical move even startled the surrounding original guards.

While the Dark Angels seem to have been surprised by whatever the lion has done, the Whisperers are not, and although they don't immediately step forward, their hearts are as panicked and anxious as Luojia, after all, this unpredictable genetic agent is going to destroy the home planet of their own legions.

"Yes. The harmless behavior of these iron men... Just on the surface, they behave like a new civilization that knows nothing - tactics, weapons, and even basic science, everything about them is like the cornerstone of a primitive civilization, and can even be called "pure". ”

"And you and I know... The Iron Man ruins on Colchis are from the dangerous Age of Dark Technology, where purity was a non-existent concept, just as the word "god" never existed in the lower Gothic language popular at the base of the Empire. ”

"Well, there is only one possibility for the situation we are facing now. They learn in disguise, turning our counseling into a growing appetite - and in those days, there were so many weapons that could be used as a means of killing [counseling] that we had to quickly destroy the planet and isolate everything in the surrounding sectors before their camouflage was over. ”

Ryan answered Luojia's question indifferently, and while calling up a lot of data and sending it to Luojia, he continued to operate the data board, and also put the whirlwind torpedo stored by the Indomitable Truth into a state of preparation for projection.

“… Wait, I don't quite understand, Ryan. Wait a minute... I've said it - stop your illogical behavior! ”

Before Luojia could analyze the reason from Ryan's words, he saw Ryan start preparing the Whirlwind torpedo, and then immediately became angry. Suddenly, he grabbed Ryan's handplate and forcibly restrained his movements.

“……”

Ryan didn't say anything about Luojia's sudden behavior, but just stared at Luojia indifferently, and looked at the lord of the Seventeenth Legion in front of him with wild eyes like a ferocious beast, as if he was arrogantly examining the prey that did not know the height of the sky.

But his arms, which were stubbornly held by Luojia, were slowly trembling, and there was no doubt that they were quietly wrestling.

At the same time, the Dark Angels stepped forward in an instant, and it seemed that they had begun to surround Luojia in a prepared formation.

However, the dull sound of several pairs of magnetic boots slamming down stopped their movements, and it was the long-held whisperers who blocked their way.

Before they knew it, the primordial guards of the two legions were facing off against each other—the most loyal and elite warriors of their respective legions looked at each other, their eagle-like sharp eyes constantly searching for possible weaknesses in each other, so that they could be killed at the moment of battle.

Looking back at the two groups of Astartes who were facing each other, Luojia's gaze grew cold.

And Ryan naturally noticed their behavior, but he was still looking at Luojia, as if looking for what was inside Luojia's deep purple pupils that were very similar to the waves of the Supreme Heaven.

"I don't think I need to explain it a second time, Luojia."

“… Do you have to let things get to this point? Ryan. ”

"I don't want it to get to this point."

"Think of your legion, think of mine, and the mortal auxiliaries and the mechanics of the Order - they're all still fighting on the planet! And you're going to throw a torpedo on them for no reason? You couldn't do that even if you had extraordinary powers, I thought you were a trusted brother like Chagatai, Ryan. ”

With Luojia's scolding, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The Astartes were silent until each other's genoplasms spoke—neither one spoke nor acted rashly, and though they had all unconsciously reached for the weapons hanging from their legarmours, they knew that the conflict would not begin with the other's fire.

"When you're given unimaginable burdens, you understand what I'm doing."

"I hate riddles, Ryan. You need to stop this dangerous behavior at once and explain to me why you are dropping devastating strategic weapons on our armies when they are in the upper hand. ”

"That's the best measure."

"If you can't explain your so-called 'measures' specifically, then what you're doing is stirring up a conflict between the Bearers and the Dark Angels!"

The deafening roar of the Lord of the Seventeenth Legion echoed through the conference room, and even the paper papers beside them were overturned by the high-pitched sound.

Yes, Luojia's anger was almost palpable, and his face was full of incomprehension over the twisted and almost hideous incantation, and he really had a hard time understanding what Ryan had done.

Not just because they were going to drop a torpedo on their home planet, but because their Legion forces were still on the planet, even though Luojia had prepared for the worst after Elaine's departure: to be forced to abandon Colchis in the face of an incredibly powerful enemy, and then to gather the children scattered across the galaxy to wage a holy war against those who had caused the destruction of the home planet.

Fortunately, except for the sudden appearance of the mechanical tower, there were no unexpected situations on the battlefield, and even Luojia was very happy about the vulnerability of those iron man armies, because in his opinion, the crisis of this war has been greatly reduced, but the words in Lane's mouth that seem to be a fantasy really make Luojia scratch his head, and his brain is also troubled by the question that has been born for a long time-

Why is Ryan so extreme?
