163 Time flies

The ravens flew between the shadows of the Imperial fleet—not just the Flare of Maculag, but the shadows of the fleet: for 10,000 years, the Raven Lord, who had long been familiar with the ways of subspace, no longer needed the navigation of subspace portals and beacons when making such short jumps.

He had to admit that when he first heard about the concept of "Primordial Warrior" from Killman, he felt a fear that came from deep within him. The fact has been proven time and time again to all those in the universe who try to do this, knowing or not knowing, that all delusions that attempt to tamper with the Emperor's creations will not end well. Even though his brother had repeatedly assured him that it was a fully fledged and stable technology that had been tested a lot, he still ...... Some will be skeptical.

His uneasiness peaked especially when he heard that this was a group of warriors with a stronger physique and a more stable temperament than the "firstborn children". Intellectually, he told himself repeatedly that these warriors had been in the ranks since the beginning of the Indomitable Expedition, and had been tested on the battlefield for a hundred years or so, and Kiliman was able to say this confidently, of course, because of the abundance of examples that had been produced during this period, but emotionally, he still remembered his own children who had endured the torment of mutation, and who had to end this suffering for them himself.

Because of this undispellable apprehension, after finding the ship where his original heir was located with some mysterious senses, Corax did not emerge from the shadows, but still walked through the dim corridors in this form similar to that of a raven. He lurked in the darkness, with doubts about them, and even more so about himself, and silently looked at the handful of primordial heirs in front of him who were not in a state of combat readiness, but which he had never seen before, but who were indeed connected to his blood—

- until one of them suddenly looked up inexplicably, and even though he had to squint his eyes because of the light from the chandelier, he still insisted on looking at the shadow in which Corax was hiding.

The same genes will always echo each other, especially if they are close enough and both have high enough perception in this area. While he did think about delaying, Corax had already anticipated the situation. After a brief hesitation, he chose to emerge from the shadow of the chandelier on the zenith, and appeared to his heir without saying a word.

He didn't know what to say to these children, whom he had never met. Fortunately, apparently, his heirs did not know. Among their cousins, the Raven's Sons were always quiet: their victories, their defeats, their joys, their sorrows.

When they were finally reunited with their genetic fathers, the ship they were on was quiet.

——

Kiliman's celebration with his cursed heirs ended happily in a makurag fashion. From the next day, the deceased began to dissipate into golden particles. Even though the Imperial Regent had been told that this was just a remnant that should no longer exist in reality and returned to where they belonged, he still felt a little saddened by it.

He woke up from a dream that seemed unrealistic, but he didn't have the qualifications to indulge in it. He also needs to face a not-so-good, but seemingly improving, reality. After all the Cursed Ultramarines had returned to the throne, the Director of the Ultramarines Tank, Varro Digris, led a small fleet of troops. He will return to Macurag, the home planet of the Ultramarines, and take over the current affairs of Marius Calgar, the current Warband Leader, freeing them from their lordship and defense work to lead troops to the aid of the Alert.

Under Killiman's orders, the Starwhisperers began sending messages to all Raven Guards and their sub-regiments they could locate, informing them of the return of Corvus Corax. They haven't heard back yet, but everyone can imagine that this news will be a great encouragement to all the Raven Lord's heirs. Due to the client's own preferences and demands, Corax's return was not announced to the entire Empire by a grand ceremony - after all, he was going to take over as the jailer of Conrad Coetzes, who existed in a way that most people did not want to expose to the Empire.

After another day or two, Rika Fujimaru had to say goodbye to Conrad Coz: from the very beginning, they had received two completely different missions from the Emperor, one to build a lighthouse for the dark side of the Empire, and the other to lead troops to cleanse a planet that had fallen into the Great Rift and was likely already infected by Chaos. The two had long known about the parting of ways because of the difference in tasks, but neither of them expected it to be so soon:

The Plague War is almost over, but the end of the expedition of the Imperial Regency fleet is still far away, and Killiman must move to the next battlefield where reinforcements await - and for the Midnight Lords, who have now become too large, it is clear that the manpower on the Storm Frontier alone cannot effectively supervise them, and Conrad Coz must stay with his heirs, still imprisoned in the fleet ready to be deployed.

Because the sanitizing work on the Imperial Dream is expected to last for two months - after all, it is a ship larger than the average Glory Queen-class warship, and the internal structure designed by the emperor's wisdom is even more intricate, even if a team divided by the imperial regent from the forbidden army around him is organizing and coordinating this matter, the construction period cannot be faster. Rika Fujimaru had to stay with him on Pamenio, but the good news was that the group would join the Storm Frontier as crew members in the future, as compensation for Kiliman's removal of the "security forces" (a reference to Conrad Coz) around her.

In addition, the Dark Angel aboard the Lion's Mane is still ready to continue sailing with the Storm Frontier. Fujimaru Rika had asked Ranmarok if they wanted to find the remnants of the Legion that had lasted until this era, and meet their blood brothers who were born in the present. If they wanted to, then Fujimaru Rika would not stop them, but after some discussion among the Dark Angels, Ranmarok told her that either way, the Lion's Mane and the Storm Frontier were going to the dark side of the Empire. This matter can wait until after Barr and then consider the situation.

In addition, it is very confusing that Yago Savitarion and the ten Blackarmies he led were somehow ignored by Robert Killman, Conrad Coz, and even Corvacs Colacs, as if they should have been left on the Storm Frontier. Not being able to fight with her Father of Genes (even under the watchful eye of the Raven Guard) was demoralizing the Children of the Night, but in Fujimaru Rika's opinion, the person who had the most negative feelings about it was Inquisitor Sibila Hastings: since that Night Talk, Kylea had somehow learned a little bit of a way to find foreign help, and had now successfully united with the three of these Midnight Lords, including Sevita. When he was treated too harshly and unreasonably by this teacher, he changed his tricks to block him.

A month later, the Cathedral of Tyros was finally renamed the Cathedral of the Emperor's Apparition, and its function as a temple-level magic workshop was used by the Anglican Church in an attempt to produce psionic amulets in a more bloody and frenetic way. Surprisingly, the person who properly applied the brakes here was Mathieu. He seems to believe that his mission for the rest of his life is to keep the Imperial Temple running correctly and sustainably, so he asks the Imperial Regent to resign as an Apostle of War and decides to stay here and spend the rest of his life building Pamenio into a world of shrines. Of course, Kiliman agreed.

This was somewhat unexpected, but it was much more than that: in the Hera Fortress of Macurag, in the process of explaining to Calgar with a visibly apprehensive look, the guards suddenly reported to them that they had captured a "misbehaving Ultramarine" dangling nearby. And it wasn't until the director of the think tank took the time to interrogate the prisoner in person that he discovered that the Ultramarine, accused of acting sneakily and aimlessly near the fortress of Hera, was Ionid Hill, who didn't know how to stay - Fujimaru Rika said that she was completely unaware of this, but she said so on her lips, but her expression was very empty.

In the end, Ionid Hill was also captured by Marius Calga to support the Alert. As they set off, Somny, who had finally completed the cleanup, was finally qualified to return to the Praetorian Army, happily rooting himself in the main control room of the Storm Frontier once again. The first group of Raven Sons had caught up with the Imperial Regent's fleet by this time, and the Iron Hand's Talon of Doom had returned to their warband's home planet, Medusa, after an overhaul.

"You can't do that!" Outside the Eye of Medusa, outside the central altar, the members of the Iron Hand formed a sparse formation on the flat ground - this move made no tactical sense, they just kept themselves in the way like a useless obstacle, and shouted at the comers with a kind of chaotic desperation: "You can't do this to the only remaining remains of our father!" ”

There was anger on the cold and hard face of the man who came with a knife and an axe, but almost surprisingly, the emotion that was easier to be interpreted than the obvious anger was a kind of sadness:

"I am your father." Ferus Manus declared.

Miwoo (six o'clock)

The law of the ancestors is immutable, and the graves of the ancestors cannot be plucked, even if the ancestors come in person!

And so the volume is over! (Huh?) It may feel a bit rushed, but that's exactly what I decided...... (Eyes fluttering)
