119 Epilogue ......? Japanese Tea Ceremony!
The war is not really over yet, but it is clear to all that it is only a matter of time.
Judging from the results of the post-review, there are many details that deviate from the original plan throughout the entire process of this war - at least, in the plan originally submitted by Fujimaru Rika, her mission was originally to take advantage of the stalemate stage of the battlefield of Pamenio, take the opportunity to directly take the Nurgle Temple on Yax through the imaginary number submarine, and perform some kind of ritual to change the source of the subspace energy that infiltrated the entire area from the plague god to the emperor, so as to directly kill the vast majority of the plague fleet at the root.
This is clearly not how this works in practice: Yax's temple was destroyed, not replaced with the Emperor's. However, the waves set off by the plague god in the vast ocean have begun to dissipate, and the rules of reality have gradually returned to the extreme star field. At the same time, not only the perimeter of Pamenio, but also the Siege of Macurag, as well as any plague fleets in the entire star field, were equally weakened and panicked.
Although the original plan was changed due to various on-the-spot performances, and the spectacular and once and for all spectacle that was originally planned to "the emperor's psionic energy will naturally burn Nurgle's entire fleet" did not happen in reality, however, after reading the battle report from the Emperor Dream with a frown, and suspiciously confirming these seemingly fantastical contents, pointing to the result that "the plague god will not have the strength to touch the real universe for three thousand years". Still reluctantly agreed with the development that deviated slightly from the plan, and began to pinch his nose to clean up the mess.
The general trend has been decided, and the chaotic forces are obviously no longer able to stir up any big waves in the extreme star field, but this does not mean that all enemies will be eliminated from the territory of the empire in an instant, and it will still be a time-consuming and laborious task to exterminate these remnants of the climate.
- The good news is that with the intensity of the war clearly not rising, Killiman, as regent of the Empire, can reasonably assign these simpler tasks to the various warbands; The bad news is that that doesn't mean he'll be able to get out of here and move on to the next battlefield where he needs him more.
Ionid Hill, since his appearance on the battlefield, has been persevering by his side, eyeing everything he wants to make, any attempt to get to the front lines of the battlefield.
This somewhat troubling problem first emerged from the fact that the battlefield in northern Tyros had largely calmed down. At that time, the unconscious Fujimaru Rika had been taken by the "Chaldeans" (including Arjuna, dozens of dark angels, and somehow, Sigismund and Acurdona with him) to the rear of the Tyros Cathedral, where he and the forty-eight supposedly deceased heirs who had appeared under the influence of subspace got to know each other.
It's a little embarrassing, he's been absent for too long, and he's only recognized five of them as a hero among the ultramarines of the past 10,000 years. He was still unable to fully accept this reality for a moment, and gave a short, thanksgiving speech, almost mechanically. Then, he forced his mind to return to work, preparing to leave behind the troops in charge of sweeping the tail, and then rush to the front line of Hecaton Airport, which had not yet been captured-
The commander of Hill's second company suddenly stepped forward at this time, took off his helmet, and knelt on one knee, "Original, please think twice!" ”
At that time, Kiliman was startled: "Ionid, what are you doing?" ”
"I beg you not to risk yourself!" Hill knelt on the ground, but still raised his head to look directly at the wound on Kiliman's neck, his blue eyes overflowing with sincere and humble supplication, "If you insist on going, please let me be by your side!" ”
For the next three minutes, he wept as he recounted the guilt and pain of Xshara after the First World War, reiterating in brief words the story of why the Second Company of the Ultramarines was defined as the Lord of the Watch, and finally expressing in a tone bordering on pleading that he, as the first "Lord of the Watch", begged the Primordial to allow him to carry out his duties, even with his life and soul.
It wasn't like what Killiman would have done with the Hill, but the theoretical-practical model of the Ultramarine's original form also told him that after an extra wound on his neck that nearly killed him (in fact, if it weren't for the Emperor's psionic and stasis fields, he would have died), Hill would have been traumatized by something close to what had happened at the time...... It's not something that can't be understood.
He instinctively felt that something wasn't quite right ("Would a Space Marine, like Ionid, really cry over this?"). But when he realized that one of his favorite heirs was weeping bitterly because of the bitter consequences of his recklessness, and yet he was not even willing to be overly firm in opposing his decision, his mind was no longer spinning.
As a result, Killiman abandoned his initial decision and switched to centering. It wasn't until they settled down on the ground and returned to the Glory of Macurag that he began to realize that something didn't seem right.
But then, the Lionmane and Gallatan Star Castle moved to his attention, and after figuring out what was going on, Killiman's anger shifted to Conrad Coetzes. As a result, the matter missed the best time to solve it, and it was not resolved - and Ionid Hill, who claimed to carry out the duties of the "Lord of the Watch", and Cato Sicarius, stubbornly became the two little tails that the Regent of the Empire could not shake off.
Somewhere unbeknownst to Killman, the first and current Second Company Commanders of the Ultramarines have reached some secret consensus and are trying to begin writing a somewhat strange instruction book. In this matter, the other forty-six Ultramarines of the Cursed Legion, including the first warband leader, Marius Gage, were accomplices in the unreported.
As long as the original body can stay in the rear safely, what means can't be used? Collectively, they believe so. It is also written in the "Astarte Holy Codex": In order to achieve the ultimate victory, sometimes we need to pay an unimaginable price - so what is the matter with just a little vanity and a loss of face in front of the father of genes?
What Kiriman is unaware of is the fact that this "craft" actually originated somewhere in the torch before it is impossible to determine how long. And the initiator was the one who first taught Ionid Hill the ancient wisdom of "passing the trick", Rika Fujimaru.
The propagator of the Japanese tea ceremony is still lying peacefully in the Cathedral of Taylos, oblivious to what is happening.
