Chapter 229: Bow down to the Original?
Since the Phalos device lit up Maculag, for more than twenty consecutive days, spacecraft have broken through the obstacles of the subspace storm to reach Maculag every day.
These spaceships contain not only the Space Marines of the Iron Hand, the Salamanders, and the Raven Guard, but even the Space Marines of the White Scar, Imperial Fist, and Space Wolf Legion.
Of course, there were more ships from the Otlama 500 world, and they brought with them all kinds of supplies that Macurag desperately needed.
There are also many Ultramarines stationed on other planets, they are attacked by the World Eaters and the Whisperers, some of them have repelled the rebels and want to come to support Maculag, and some have been defeated by the rebels and come to Maculag for support.
These loyalist Space Marines brought with them a large number of messages, complete or scattered, all of which were aggregated into the hands of Killiman.
Hera Castle.
Killiman stood by the window and looked out the castle at the breeches Rag, not knowing what he was thinking.
The original mother, Ms. Judton, stood aside and looked at Killman with concern, knowing that her adopted son was not in a very good mood at this time.
Although he got what happened on Istavan Wu from Liu Haodong, he was already prepared for the death of his brother in his heart.
But when it was truly certain that his brother Ferus Manus had died in Istavan V, he still had some hesitation and sadness in his heart.
And it is different from what Liu Haodong said about the disappearance of Wokan and the escape of Koraks from Istavan V.
The news that these loyalists, who had escaped safely from Istavan V, called themselves Broken Legion soldiers, made him dull.
The loyalty of the Broken Legion is unquestionable, but by their words, there is little chance that Wokan and Koraks will survive.
The news they brought was different from the news brought by Liu Haodong, which Kiliman could understand, and what the two sides of the war could see was definitely different.
But the news that the loyal Broken Legion said was something they had personally experienced and could corroborate each other in many ways.
What Liu Haodong said was "heard" from other world devourers who participated in the war.
The accuracy of the messages on both sides differs.
But now is not the time to care.
Either way, Kiliman had prepared for the worst.
Ms. Judon stood to the side, knowing that her adopted son was having mixed emotions right now, because the people who had come to Maculag had brought so much bad news that they had never thought of before.
But just now she received a message from the reception hall that something had happened there, and although it was not a big deal, she had to remind her adopted son that now was not a good time to ponder.
"The reception hall is ready." Ms. Euton reminded.
"My brother is dead." Killman's voice sounded calm, but instead of looking back at Lady Judton, he continued to look out the window: "Neither Luojia nor Horus, I didn't think that they would be enemies of me, enemies of my father......"
Lady Judon wanted to organize a vocabulary to comfort his eldest son, and Judon had experienced betrayal, and her husband, Kiliman's adoptive father, had died in the rebellion.
The rebellion was put down by Kiliman.
Fortunately, as a primordial and the master of the highly autonomous Otrama 500 world, Kiliman's heart is very strong in some ways.
"Bad news after bad news, Magnus disobeyed his father, so much so that his father sent the damned space wolf to Puruspero!"
"And the situation in the Farr system, Perturabo did betray his father."
"I don't know why they suddenly betrayed their father and betrayed us, but in the battle with Luojia, I feel that they are no longer the same person, they are polluted, manipulated, and have lost themselves?"
As he said this, Killman's tone fluctuated slightly, and Yutun looked at his adopted son with some concern.
"Where did Corax go after he escaped? The Khan is nowhere to be found, is Dorn still holding on to Terra, or is he buried with Terra? Ryan hides all his whereabouts, and St. Giles and his legion don't know where they are? Was he murdered by the Horus design like the other legions? Has Ruth been torn apart by the rebels? ”
After saying the words in his heart in one breath, Killman's heart was a mess.
But he couldn't show the slightest bit of weakness in front of his adoptive mother and the others, and he was now the backbone of all the imperial forces gathered in Macurag.
He looked back at his adoptive mother, who was already old.
Lady Eudon was on a long staff, her erect body looked very slender, her short hair and robe as white as ever.
"It's really hard to accept." Ms. Judton's tone was at least much warmer than the usual tone of a serious report.
Killiman could detect a change in the tone of the person closest to him, which made him a little dissatisfied.
Like a child anxious to prove that he has grown up, he explained emphatically: "Although this news is indisputably bad news, I will not be cowardly and decadent because of this bad news." ”
"These things are the real thoughts in my heart, but these thoughts are not enough to make me lose my mind, you should know."
Yutun nodded.
Meeting with the Space Marines who are struggling to find light from the subspace storm today is a plan that Kiliman has long made.
"No news will bring me down." "The Maculag stands, my legion is still fighting, and as long as these two facts remain the same, the empire will survive." ”
He was wearing a set of ceremonial power armor today, with a tall original body surrounding a cape on a wide shoulder armor, and he did not carry any weapons as he did when he met Liu Haodong.
Yutun watched as her adopted son was dressed up, and although he had gone to meet the lost with his bare hands, it made Killiman look more kingly than ever.
"Now we are on our own." Kiriman walked to the door of the room, "For the sake of humanity, for the sake of my father's ideas, the Empire will be reactivated in Maculag. ”
At this moment, Killman's expression was unusually cold and harsh: "I will personally kill any bastard who dares to stop me." ”
Seeing her adopted son now, Ms. Judon is relieved that she, like all parents who love their children, believes that their children are the best.
"That's right!" Lady Judon stepped forward to Kiliman's side, looked up at her adopted son, and said, "Something happened in the reception hall......
……
Hera Castle Reception Hall.
Liu Haodong took Andre and Odles to stand in front of the internal door of the reception hall, acting as a guard here.
He didn't really want to come, but the original body's order was not something he could refuse, and he understood the purpose of Kiliman's request, so he came very cooperatively.
At this time, thousands of people had gathered in the reception hall, most of them were Space Marines from other legions, and the rest were mortal representatives of the spaceship that had come to Maculag.
Because he was too tall and too close to the original body, and Andre and Odles who were following Liu Haodong were both tall space marines, which caused some mortals who came in to kneel directly to Liu Haodong in an emotional state without knowing the situation.
This kneeling instantly caused a chain effect, and other mortals who did not kneel, or were still hesitating, could only follow these people to kneel and bow their heads.
Although Liu Haodong is different from the rumored Kiliman, they have never seen the genetic prototype Kiliman, and they dare not bet that the other party is not Kiliman.
Among the emperor's heirs, there are not many good-tempered ones.
What if Liu Haodong is Kiliman, but he dyed his hair black today?
It's very unlikely, and it's almost impossible for the trail to happen, but it's not impossible.
Not to mention that no mortal who came here had ever seen the real Son of the Emperor, even the Space Marines of other legions had seen the real Killiman.
Different legions in different expeditionary fleets are not so easy to meet.
Most of the time, it is difficult for ordinary Space Marines to see the genetic prototypes of their own legions up close, let alone the genetic protogens of other legions.
Therefore, as soon as someone takes the lead and bows to the ground, other mortals can only kneel and bow their heads, and some younger Space Marines also subconsciously follow and salute.
However, the Space Marines were immediately stopped by the other fighting brothers.
The veterans may not have seen Kiliman, but at a glance, they know that Liu Haodong is the guard here, and he is definitely not Kiliman.
As a party, Liu Haodong has already picked his feet in embarrassment.
He really didn't expect this to happen, and he didn't know how to break this embarrassing atmosphere for a while.
In a hurry, he explained that he was not a genetic prototype, and he couldn't do it.
Thankfully, the space wolf's sneer broke the awkwardness, although the awkward tone of the interrupt didn't sound friendly.
"Huh! He was not the son of an emperor. ”
All the mortals who fell to their knees looked at each other for a moment, and then after being recognized by the Space Marines of the Ultramarines Legion, they all got up.
The matter was immediately reported to the palace lord, Lady Yutun.
Although Liu Haodong himself is also embarrassed, he still has to maintain a very calm appearance.
His attention shifted to the space wolves, who were not waiting for the primordial to be summoned in a neat line like the other legions of the Space Marines, but were scattered around crouching or lying down.
All of them were not wearing helmets, but they wore leather hoods and strange masks painted on them that looked like they were intimidating the enemy.
When Liu Haodong looked at them, they were also full of wildness glaring at Liu Haodong and baring their teeth, expressing their wildness.
"It's a lot like a bunch of huskies." Liu Haodong commented in his heart.
The mortals who all knelt down just now also began to whisper, with Liu Haodong's hearing, it was difficult to think that they couldn't hear it.
And the Space Marines who stood beside the mortals heard it even more clearly.
"He's so tall!"
"Yes! I thought that Angel of the Fist of the Empire was already tall, but I didn't expect him to be even taller. ”
"In such a situation, it is normal to admit mistakes."
"I hope Master Kiliman isn't angry that we recognize the wrong person."
"He's not the emperor's heir, so tall is he so tall, so how tall should Master Kiliman be?"
Liu Haodong tilted his head slightly, and he heard a heavy footstep from the inner court gate behind him.
Kiliman: They arrived at once.
