Chapter 129: The First Legion Takes on the Secret

It stands to reason that even if there is a conflict between the two Astarte regiments, it will not turn into a large-scale melee.

As the Emperor's sharpest weapon, the Great Expedition is their natural mission, and they will not be allowed to fight each other under any circumstances, otherwise they will be seen as betraying the Empire.

Moreover, as the head of the legion, the genetic protogens are also responsible for controlling these warriors. Relying not only on the loyalty of the warriors to the Emperor, but also on the bond maintained by blood, this terrifying army that looks down on the galaxy will obey the orders of the genetic prototype almost unconditionally.

And the twenty-one genetic prototypes created by the emperor have the blood of the emperor, which is almost equivalent to an extension of his own will.

Even if two Astarte teams fire at each other in force majeure, the conflict between them will be completely resolved with the mediation of the genetic protoplasm.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there is no problem with the 'gene protogen'.

If there is a serious irreconcilable contradiction between the genetic protogenes, then on the contrary, even the sober Astarte will inevitably be implicated by their genetic father.

This is the case with the Indomitable Truth.

Johnson stared coldly at the young warrior kneeling on the ground in front of him, without saying a word.

It was as if the situation in front of us had been predicted.

“… My lord. And please be sure to take this matter calmly, if we open fire on the Speaker... Then the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"The Whisperers have just experienced the Perfect City Event, and their warriors may not be able to withstand the destruction of their home planet and the killing of the original body. If we open fire without permission... I am afraid that it will push them in a radical direction, so that it will cause very serious turmoil within the empire. ”

Coswayne was half-kneeling, but his tone was firm, as if he decided he could move the genogen that was cold in front of him at all times.

Although the young paladin did not have any substantive military position in the First Legion, Johnson was given the task of 'gaining the respect of everyone in the Legion' when he first trained him.

For any Astarte regiment, the intricacies of its internal structure are enough to cause a headache. This is especially true in the Dark Angel Legion, which is very strict in the internal hierarchy, and Johnson still gives Coswayne this seemingly impossible task, and it is clear that Johnson wants to entrust this young warrior not only with a significant task, but also with the ability to take on the responsibility of the head of the legion.

As the head of a legion, the first thing you must do is to be trusted and respected by all the soldiers in the legion. Especially in the absence of the genetic protogen, every squad, every company, and even every battalion can carry out the orders issued by Coswayne without suspicion at the first time, so that every battleship is deployed in the corresponding position without hesitation.

If there were a few mistakes or mistakes, the cost to the entire legion would be unimaginable.

And during the long journey of the Great Expedition, Coswayne perfectly fulfilled the orders given to him by the Father of Genes through his unique way of thinking, even though his speech may occasionally seem sharp and abrupt in the eyes of others, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this delicate warrior does always make excellent suggestions, and often steers things to the good side.

Although the so-called "multi-faceted thinking" is by no means an uncommon thing for any Astarte, for the old-fashioned, arrogant, medieval knight-like dark angel, a maverick warrior like Coswayne is absolutely precious.

Because the genetic seeds of the First Legion are destined to determine the way of thinking and behavior of these warriors, after being transformed, they will eventually lead to their genetic father, the lion of Caliban.

Today, almost everyone in the Dark Angels is impressed by this paladin, who is young but bears an unusually heavy burden, and is willing to give him their trust.

The 'all' among them, of course, also includes Ryan Altheansen himself.

However, that unique trust did not alleviate the indifference in the lion's eyes.

"I think I've calmed down, Coswayne."

"The unknown is always worth facing with all our might, and Luojia's persistence is also within our expectations - so the consequences of being able to be predicted are not terrible."

"[Unknown] consequences... It's scary. ”

Johnson's tone was unusually flat, and he did not answer the young warrior in front of him with the title of 'little brother' as always.

It was not because Coswayne's advice at this time did not match his own intentions, but that he exchanged opinions with the other party in an almost equal manner.

In Johnson's eyes, the consequences of Colchis's destruction were obvious: Luojia would die under the fire of the Dark Angel, the Bearers would be desperate for revenge on the Dark Angel, and the reputation of the First Legion would be tarnished after the battle.

Of course, Johnson never imagined that his father would look at him with a skeptical gaze, after all, it was he who had personally entrusted the duties of the First Legion to him, and a great being as mysterious and wise as him would have long expected that he would face the current situation.

As early as following the astral communication and passing through the subspace storm to reach Colchis, Johnson had a feeling that he would bury the third Lost.

Clearly, regardless of the outcome of the battle, Johnson had the consciousness to bear all the secrets that should not be remembered.

In Johnson's unwavering gaze, Coswayne couldn't help but sigh.

“… With all due respect, you're a little too extreme, father. ”

"Because we've been through so many unremembered battles, you take it for granted that the First Legion is saddled with secrets."

"But... Even in the Battle of Randan, our companions still have space wolves. In other battles, the Empire also has legions like the Raven Guard and the Midnight Lord... Maybe we shouldn't have taken on too many responsibilities in the first place! Dropping a torpedo on Colchis might have been wrong from the start, what if we couldn't destroy the tower? Have you ever wondered what the result will be! ”

As Coswayne's tone became more aggressive, even Johnson's indifferent expression frowned imperceptibly.

Johnson didn't hate speaking out, but he didn't allow his military orders to be questioned by his subordinates.

However, when he heard Coswayne's next sentence, his increasingly cold expression was also slightly soothed.

"As you say, it's our natural duty to stand up to the unknown. But... Until then, why don't we ask the Lord of the Twelfth Legion and ask her what secrets are in that tower! ”
