"Hello, my name is Alexey, I don't know what to call you?"

Alexei lowered his posture, which made Russell subconsciously a little wary.

He could see that this female psyker named Alexei seemed to have a high status in the human camp. In terms of spiritual cultivation, she is even stronger than the gray knights around her.

Why would such a person be so humble about an existence that does not know whether he is friend or foe when he meets for the first time?

No, not just humility.

Russell's eyes narrowed slightly under the psionic mist, and he saw her shoulders trembling slightly, and the prophetess lowered her head, trying to hide her small movements of swallowing saliva, and she ...... I am afraid.

And are you afraid of me?

“…… My name doesn't make sense, say, what is your purpose? Russell chose not to answer her question.

"Ah, yes, okay." Alexei's hands clenched silently in front of his chest.

She turned her head and whispered softly to the Grey Knight who had escorted her here, "Mr. Dimitri, can you please get out of the way first?" I have something to say separately with this gentleman. ”

With that, she turned to Milak again: "Commander Milak too, please take the soldiers to stay away for the time being, the matter I want to discuss with this gentleman is very important and ...... Confidentiality is required. ”

When the Grey Knight known as "Mr. Dimitri" heard this, he just bowed his head and said "be careful" to Alexei, and then led the team away, walking out of the throne hall through the rift.

"You stay safe." Although Milak was puzzled, he wanted to know why the prophet had come here in danger, and he also wanted to remind her that Russell was actually a powerful psyker who could kill the great demon alone, but he didn't say anything after all, the authority of the prophet was absolute.

The surviving members of the commando team were silent collecting the remains of their dead combat brothers, while two Terminator veterans, who were generally in good health, were tasked with taking away the dreadnought mechs with paralyzed legs.

Soon, only the three living creatures of Russell, Bao, and Alexei were left in the huge throne hall.

"You seem to be scared of me... Although I don't know what I'm afraid of. ”

Russell was holding the Vatorium Reality Perforator in one hand, and Bao, who was dying but never dead, and the black robe on his body was stained with the viscous blood of the Star Marine.

Alexei smiled awkwardly and said in a soft tone like water: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”

"So what are you going to tell me?" Russell looked at her.

"Hmm...... If you want to trace the origin of this incident, you have to start with a dream I had 30 years ago......" Her expression was slightly hazy, as if she was reminiscing.

"Stop, I'm in a hurry, you'd better make a long story short." Russell frowned, the psionic mist on his face flowing slowly, "Our communication should be more efficient, you know, the bugs are coming, and I have to deal with them." ”

"Well... Good. ”

The respected prophetess was at a loss at the moment like a young student who had been reprimanded by her mentor, and Alexei patted her chest and hesitated before she was ready.

She slowly removed the strip of cloth covered with the holy words that covered her eyes, and a pair of violet eyes flowed with a little golden light, and through the hazy and vague mist of psionic energy, Alexei and Russell looked at each other.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, Russell can feel her spirit and will slowly extending towards him like tentacles, careful and restrained, but also a little afraid, he didn't think much about it, and gently wrapped her spiritual tentacles with his own will, linking the spiritual worlds of the two people together.

Softer than expected...... Alexei tried to suppress the surprise and curiosity in his heart, but it didn't make sense, the two people who were linked together could feel each other's thoughts and emotions most intuitively, and there was no way to lie about communication in this situation, just like the angel did when he first met the emperor.

Calming down her slightly agitated emotions, the prophetess spoke softly: "I am entrusted by the God Emperor to ......"

A short sentence is just a superficial carrier, and at the moment when this sentence is exported, a larger amount of information has been completed on the spiritual bridge between the two, which is worth a thousand words.

From the prophetess's point of view, Russell immersively experiences the beginning and end of this expedition in the first person -

Thirty years ago, the year Russell came into the world, the green-skinned orcs roaming a barren corner of the Espernes star region stumbled upon a "treasure".

Alexei didn't know what it was, only that the orcs had risen rapidly since they got the treasure.

The breeding spores of the orcs seem to have produced some kind of benign mutation after obtaining that treasure, and the theoretical dead planet and the forbidden area of life are constantly transformed into fertile land full of life, and then they continue to sprout green skin out one by one.

Subsequently, led by the Inquisitor and the Governor of the Star Sector of Espernes, the Mechanical Order of the Forge World Musbel, an expeditionary fleet to defeat the orcs was formed.

The expedition lasted less than 18 years, and after returning from the battle with the Greenskins, the Espernes Expeditionary Fleet, which had destroyed several green planets, hurriedly returned, requesting support for the number of greenskins terror, and bringing back some other interesting information:

When an extinction order was issued for the Green Planet, which was infested with orc spores, the Fleet Commander discovered that the damage done to the planet's surface ecosystems would be very limited if orbital bombardment was carried out with conventional naval guns.

The verdant planet seems to have become a huge whole of life, and the damaged local areas will absorb the nutrients delivered by the entire planet's ecosystem with amazing efficiency, and quickly grow and heal.

In the end, it was a judge who authorized the flagship Confessional Fire to use the precious atmospheric incineration torpedoes to finally destroy the planet's ecosystem.

When the badly damaged expeditionary fleet brought this strange phenomenon back to the Espernes sector, the higher-ups, including the Anglican bishop and the sage of the Order of the Mechanics, were arguing about the meaning of Alexei's prophetic dreams.

"In a dream, the God-Emperor asked the prophetess to travel to the eastern frontier of the Extreme Star Field, and said that there she would receive something important that could change the fate of the empire."

While pondering the will of the God Emperor, one of the Inquisitors keenly discovered one thing through his nimble news network: the orc battle moon was also sailing to the east of the Extreme Star Field.

Combined with the nature of the treasure in the hands of the orcs, a crazy idea suddenly spread out of nowhere:

"Since the powerful vitality contained in that treasure can animate a planet and become a huge life whole. So, can it also nourish the decayed body of the human emperor who sits on the golden throne, and let the god emperor walk in the world again? ”
