Chapter 127: The Right Direction
Truly.
While different from what most Dark Angel warriors think, Coswayne is undoubtedly right.
Alachos nodded slightly, and while he thought about the devastating impact of the Whisperer's rebellion on the Empire, as a warrior of the Dark Angels, he would only think of himself as an invincible hammer for all visible nails.
In other words, although he guided Coswayne to say what he really thought in his heart, he didn't think of such nuanced questions as the other party usually associated.
Yes, if the First Legion abused the Emperor's trust and arbitrarily inflicted irreparable punishment on the other Legions, it would not only have a serious impact on the Empire, but even the Emperor would look at them with scrutiny.
After all, the problems within the Whisperers have been known since the destruction of the City of Perfection by their own hands—these warriors who worship the power of faith are very extreme when it comes to "loyalty".
Although Erebus and Colfalon are merely clowns who cannot make it to the table in the eyes of most legions, and even if they succeed in starting a rebellion, they will be nothing more than small beings who will be destroyed by the Empire - if it were not for the Emperor's awareness of the slow progress of the Bearers in the Great Expedition, the existence of these two bugs would not even be discovered by the Empire.
And after cleaning up the blood of the Legion, the Seventeenth Legion was almost reduced to pieces and scattered throughout the galaxy to play their value. Truth be told, this kind of loyalty by dismantling the self is almost unnecessary to the other legions - after all, no Astarte legion needs to prove its loyalty to the Empire.
In any case, they greatly admired the courage of the Lord of the Seventeenth Legion.
Not every martyr has the courage to aim the sacrificial blade at himself, and not every atoning person who has changed his past wrongs is willing to remember his sins forever.
In their opinion, because of the existence of those two worms, the slow progress of the Bearer in the Great Expedition was understandable.
Therefore, even if the Emperor reprimanded the Waiko, the soldiers of the other legions did not equate the two traitors with the many Waiye warriors, on the contrary, these Waiye warriors, who were extremely flexible in their organization and had a fairly steady style of action, had a fairly good reputation in the Warrior Society.
Even Arachows had heard of the reputation of the Whisperers warbands who were constantly running around the galaxy to help the major battlefields of the Great Expedition.
The names of the cultists, monks, and the like, which were once slightly derogatory, seemed reasonable to the Astartes of the other legions.
After all, they did not believe in some imaginary god, but in the emperor of Tai Shola.
Even if their statements occasionally contradict imperial truth, so what? Is there any Astarte who has not looked at the glorious Lord of Mankind with the thought of faith?
According to the exposition of the truth of the Empire, there is indeed no God in this world. But in the hearts of these Astarte warriors, there was a common thought.
If there really is a god in the world, then it can only be an emperor.
And these Wai Men warriors who are willing to speak contrary to the truth of the Empire are only saying what is in their hearts.
While some of the Legion's Astartes may be savage, ignorant of the Truth of the Empire and the Word of the Bearer, they cannot deny their deep worship of the great Lord of Humanity.
Yes, the emperor has repeatedly denied that he is a god, so what? The free-spirited savage warriors didn't care about such trivialities, and since the lord of mankind called himself not a god, they called the emperor All father.
Therefore, they could also see that the reason why the emperor reprimanded the Bearers was not the so-called faith at all, but the progress of the Great Expedition that the Bearers' Legion had been affected by two high-ranking traitors during the Great Expedition.
Who didn't secretly think that the actions of the radiant Golden Armor Emperor were almost indistinguishable from the concept of "gods" in their respective civilizations?
If a religious believer collapses because the god himself denies that he is not a god, then they will laugh at him for the rest of their lives.
Even Arachou himself, when he was with the warriors of the Bearers, admired from the bottom of his heart these pious warriors who had endured many hardships but still moved forward with determination.
Although he had never imagined the effect of the Dark Angel's second-in-command on the Legion if they defected, from the time the Bearers were firmly around the Genetic Prototype and confronted them, Aracus knew that as long as there were no problems with their Genetic Prototype, this was an Astarte Legion that would never mutinate.
Moreover, judging from Luojia's devout and determined dismantling of the warband to atone for his sins, and his response to calling the Empire immediately after the Iron Man Crisis appeared on his home planet, Arachos felt that he was an existence that could not betray the Human Empire.
However, even the most resolute person has a limit to tolerance. If this event becomes the last straw that overwhelms the faith in the hearts of the bearers, then the Dark Angel will be saddled with irreparable guilt.
Killing a genoplasm because of some potential crisis and forcing an Astarte legion against the Empire is a crime that cannot be cleared of no amount of glory and greatness.
Sometimes, even Aracios himself was troubled by Johnson's immediate decisions, but as a close attendant of the original body who had experienced countless similar incidents, he could not deny the actions of his genetic father.
Therefore, as one of the few delicate servants around the original body, Aracus saw that Coswayne also had similar thoughts and concepts to himself, and even the little brother who was cultivated by the original body performed far more than he imagined.
In Coswayne's somewhat worried gaze, Aracus solemnly put his arm around the little brother's shoulders and said to him the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:
"Don't worry, kid. Your worries, your thoughts, and your opinions are all very valuable. ”
"The duty that my Lord has entrusted you is to earn the respect of all in the Legion, and even though you have not held any position in the Legion, you have done it perfectly."
"Needless to say—that's your talent, Coswayne."
"You have the ability to take on the duties of the Legion Commander, and you have the ability to carry the trust that my Lord has placed in you."
"Now, it's time to put that trust in our genetic father, and even though he may not have expected his trust to be delivered in this way, his trust in you won't change."
"Go, Akau. In this vital matter, steer our genetic protoplasm in the right direction. ”

I would love to write Happy End! So I also want to get rid of some of the stinky defects of some of the original bodies that will not rebel (
