"When the Great Horus Rebellion broke out, the Lion King Ryan led half of the Dark Angel Legion to fight in the starry sky and destroy the home planet of the Rebel Legion."

"And the other half of the Dark Angel's troops, which are mainly logistics managers and recruits, are stationed in Caliban, the Lion King's home planet."

"The conflict arose when the disheartened Lion King left the Second Empire and led his Dark Angels back to their home planet."

On the way back to Falla, Russell tells Greywind and Colonia about the Dark Angel and the Fallen Angel in as short a sentence as possible:

"Among the half of the dark angels who stayed behind in their home planet Caliban at that time, they can be roughly divided into the following factions:

"1. Before the return of the Lion King, the Dark Angels of the First Legion belonged directly to the Human Emperor and recruited directly from the Holy Terra.

After the Lion King returns and takes over the First Legion, these Terra-born veterans have a prejudice against the Lion King.

They resented the callousness of their genetic protogens in exchange for a large number of civilian casualties for strategic gains, believing that this barbaric act had no glory and betrayed the ideals of the Great Expedition.

The Terra veterans believe that their genetic protogens do not have the kingly spirit of the Emperor, and they are eager to get rid of the Lion King and return the First Legion to the Emperor, regaining their ideals and glory.

This faction is the 'Terra faction', or 'Emperor faction'. ”

"2. After the return of the Lion King, the home planet of his growth, Caliban, also submitted to the rule of the Empire and became the new conscription planet of the Dark Angel.

However, the Empire's rule over the Caliban was very rough, and the Mechanics cut down the forests of the Caliban, driving countless people into the factories to work and provide logistics for the Great Expedition.

The Dark Angels from the Caliban are outraged by the injustice they have suffered in their homeland, believing that the Empire is a brutal regime that exploits and oppresses the Caliban, regardless of the lives of its people, and that they have been betrayed by the Lion King.

They longed for the Caliban to break free from the tyranny of the Empire and return to the harmony of the Order.

This faction is the 'Kaliban'. ”

"3. There is a native faith totem called Ouroboros on the Caliban, which is a kind of thing similar to the will of the planet.

Ouroboros' beliefs have also spread to the Dark Angels, and have been affected by a certain amount of Chaos, 'it' has its own purpose, so those who believe in this totem can be called Ouroboros, heretics, or Chaos.

The Ouroboros are aware of the fact that the Caliban are contaminated by chaos, and they fear that if the truth is revealed, their homeland will be destroyed by the Empire, so they also hope that the Caliban can escape from the control of the Empire. ”

Grey Wind and Colonia sat beside Russell and listened quietly, but when they saw him say this, they suddenly sighed softly:

"In addition to these three main factions, there are also a large number of Dark Angel recruits on the Caliban who don't know anything, they don't know anything about the complex relationships and chaos within the Legion, and they are involved in this Legion civil war in ignorance, I call them the Innocents."

After the outbreak of the civil war and the destruction of the Caliban, the sudden appearance of the space-time vortex sucked the dark angels into it and randomly threw them to various points in the future; Whether it is the Terra faction, the Caliban faction, the Chaos faction with evil intentions, and the recruits who don't know anything, they are all given the same name by the dark angels of later generations - fallen angels.

"The fallen angels who introduced Milak to the flare, if they really wanted to deliver the news of the resurrection of the necromancy to the Empire......" Grey Wind clasped one hand to his chest, put an index finger to his lips, and said in thought, "Then they should be Terra-descendant veterans loyal to the Human Emperor?" Or was it an innocent recruit who was inexplicably drawn into the civil war in the first place? ”

"That's true, but it's also possible that the loyal Dark Angel who followed the Lion King in the first place, after all, it's not just the people of Caliban who are swept into the vortex of time and space." Russell added.

"Huh?" Gray Wind was confused: "The loyalists are also fallen angels?" ”

"yes." Russell casually pinched a bundle of long pink and white hair that fell from Colonia's shoulders and said, "Whether it is loyal or betrayal, chaotic or innocent, as long as you participate in and witness that civil war, you are all fallen angels." It makes no difference to the unforgivables, and it's all over because they don't know much about the civil war. ”

As she spoke, the Grey Gu Mothership passed through the L-Star Gate.

The icon of the guide carrying the lantern was left behind, and outside the porthole, a beautiful blue-green planet was getting closer and closer.

It's time for Falla.

It took a lot of effort for Gray Wind to digest the logic, and finally looked at Russell with an aggrieved face: "These human thoughts are not very easy to understand to me, how can I describe them?" They're awkward, they're screwed, and they're ...... It's extreme. ”

"The empire of humanity has always been extreme." Russell smiled and hung the pink strand of his hair back behind Colonia's ear - its ears were as long, pointy as the Elvens, and they hung well with sideburns.

Colonia did not express any opinion on Russell's account of the origin of the fallen angels and the division of factions, because it was just a bug, and it had no interest in the head of the human legion, but simply liked to listen to its master.

After his soul has completely sunk into the abyss, blending with the void, for Colonia, each syllable of the master can stir up a circle of emotional ripples in his soul, and every touch of the body can make the deepest part of consciousness ripple with layers of waves.

Its current shell had a more sensitive perception and psionic potential than that of the Aeldarns, exponentially magnifying the sensory stimulation that fascinated it, so that Colonia felt like every inch of her chest was filled with a sense of happiness just by sitting here.

After returning to Falla, Russell led Colonia to the underground research base in the southern continent, where the preachers had been waiting for a long time.

Without a moment's delay, the Grey Gu Mothership turned around and sailed to the urban planet Embra, which had become busy again, not far from Faya, and docked next to the orbital dock outside the man-made atmosphere.

"Grey Wind's hull carries a large number of important ship components made of inverse entropy, as well as the biological engines you have shaped to warp the curvature of space, and the orbital dockyard of Embra has enough warship hulls to quickly assemble a large number of finished Swordfish frigates and a handful of Sailfish research ships."

Russell walked to the center of the underground research base accompanied by Colonia and the head of scientific research, and quickly said, "We need to organize enough boarding teams as soon as possible to investigate the alien ruins in the Destruction Flare......

The head of research heard what he meant: "Leader, aren't you going to go in person?" The owner of the ruins seems to be a civilization with extremely advanced science and technology......"

"I have more important things to do next, I have full authority to give you this expedition, don't let me down." Russell said.

“…… Be. The head of research nodded.

"Don't be sad." Russell smiled and said, "I can vaguely foresee that for you this expedition is dangerous, but it is not a mortal threat of death. ”

With that, two people entered the core section of the research base with a bug disguised as an adult.

When he entered the research base this time, Russell was greeted not by intelligent control servants in overalls, nor by researchers in white coats, but by well-armed female soldiers in full armor.

They are generally more than 2 meters tall, and their bodies are slender and light, which are the Banshees and Rangers who have been brainwashed and trained by Koroniai.

It's just that the spirit banshees no longer wear the spirit bone battle armor shaped by the bonebar, but are wrapped in a white-gold metal armor that fits the curves of the body. In his hand, he held a straight spear that was slightly longer than his height.

The first generation of practical power armor jointly designed and developed by theorist monks and strong artificial intelligence inverse entropy:

"Lobbyist" type I light power armor.

"Arguments" spears.

"The design of the lobbyist I. power armor is inspired by the ventral scales of snakes, it does not have the large plates like the Mark type power armor worn by the star marines, the whole set of battle armor is made of 1024 pieces of pure pure gold small components spliced and assembled, and the joints are connected with living metal, which has excellent ductility and can also provide a certain self-healing ability......"

There wasn't a lot of time, so the head of research tried to briefly introduce to Russell the parameters of the weapons equipped by the Banshees, and the cost:

"In order not to let the heavy Adamantite armor affect the high-speed mobility that the banshees are best at, I made the armor components as light and thin as possible while ensuring the defensive performance, and built a spiritual psychic circuit covering the whole body for this set of armor, which greatly increases my strength and agility by absorbing the spiritual energy of the wearer."

"Even if the wearer is a mortal with no psionic potential, it is possible to power the lobbyist mech by burning psionic dust."

"Argument spears containing spirit bone materials can also actively transmit the user's psionic energy, and can receive energy from psionic dust to further strengthen the power......"

The best user of both power armor and weapons is the psyker, and the co-authors catch the psyker...... Russell sneered as he looked at the heavily armed Spirit Banshees standing in front of him in a neat line.

Thousands of delicate pieces of pure gold are assembled together in a seamless fit to their bodies, the hard edges and corners of metal and the soft curves of creatures fit each other and are very different from each other, very sci-fi style and indescribable harmony.

If Russell were to describe it, it would be: vigorous and astringent.

The largest of the 1,024 adamantite components is the fully enclosed helmet worn by the banshees, a piece of armor engraved with unfolded wings on the face, leaving no holes for the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

I wonder what they think of the road, but the star player asked about this, which is a bit self-defeating...... Russell resisted his thirst for knowledge and asked Colonia to rewrite the banshee's self-consciousness.

As they spoke, the preachers who had completed the integrated prosthetic transformation had already assembled with all kinds of equipment, and there were 3 people in 1 group, a total of 42 people.

The theoretical monks were not in good health and were not suitable for field trips, so they did not have a share in this mission.

Upon learning of the existence of the high-tech ancient ruins, Musbell's mechanics immediately mobilized their men and exploration ships to participate in the excavation, and set off early.

There is still some time before Grey Wind will assemble the ships that will be used next, but Russell is not in a hurry, the Flare Galaxy is still quite far away from Falla, and there is no L-Stargate. With the help of the warp engine, even if they set off later, they will arrive earlier than the Mechanics.

Taking advantage of this time, Russell explained some basic information about space necrons to the preachers who were about to depart, and listed the dangers and types of enemies they might encounter when exploring the Catacomb world.

After doing what he had to do, Russell didn't delay any longer, and left Falla in a hurry with Colonia.

The head of research didn't know what was going on with the leader, and he left so eagerly, I guess it was some kind of crucial matter.

At the same time, the orbital dock of the urban planet Embra is running at full speed, and Gray Wind has withdrawn all the technical priests who want to help with the assembly work, and countless nanobots continue to carry out important components such as sensors, energy cores, and communication arrays from the cabin of the Gray Gu Mothership, and install them one by one on the hull frame cast by Spangler's leadership.

After all the mechanical components have been installed and a ship is shaped like a swimming fish, the final thing to install is the most important core component of the whole ship.

A hive creature engine capable of distorting the curvature of space.

The creature engine, as the name suggests, is a battleship engine used by living creatures, to be precise, it is a specialized brain worm that degenerates the body and limbs, leaving only a brain and a face, which looks weird and terrifying, and has a number of sticky and slippery scarlet tentacles extending around the back of the head, and the image is really not very good.

Colonia pinched herself so bewitchingly, can't she make the bio engine look good...... That way they'll be happy themselves, right? Grey Wind thought to himself.

Each hive creature engine has a relatively independent self-consciousness, in addition to acting as a faster-than-light engine, it can also be used as the main control brain, their soul is connected to the void, Colonia wrote the mission given by Russell into the genetic code of these special brain worms, as long as these tentacles are connected to the ship's energy supply and information interaction route, they can be immediately put into use.

The biological engine is easy to use, but there is a small drawback, driving this ship was investigated by the Empire, and it was easy to be shot as a heretic by the Inquisition.

Moreover, even for the life-shaping queen who is a top genetic engineering master, the biomass consumption of shaping this top-level hive that can distort the curvature is extremely huge, and the rush of this trip has made it impossible for Gray Wind to bring a total of less than a hundred biological engines, which is far from being able to assemble all the ship frames in the dock.

Eventually, Grey Wind assembled a total of 21 Sailfish-type research vessels and 63 Swordfish-type frigates.

"Less is less, let's make do with it......"
