Emperor's Bane

Chapter 85 The Son of the Forest ([-])

"During these four years."

"No matter how critical the moment is."

"No matter how tense the situation is."

"On the side of the [Indomitable Truth], there is always a cannon aimed at Ms. Morgan."

"It's always ready to launch."

"No matter what exists around her."

"As soon as the order comes, the muzzle will sound."

"This is an order from our genetic father."

"All along, this order has never been lifted."

------

Coswayne stood in a low-earth orbit [-] kilometers away from the surface of Sisyphus III, quietly witnessing the same quiet dead world in front of him.

He can see emerald green and pale colors wantonly embracing, twisting, influencing and changing each other on the stage where the world is the canvas. Hundreds of millions of vegetation shape a great country, and the latter is a cloud formed between wind and haze, silently witnessing life and death on the surface, alternating reincarnation.

He watched, he waited, he worried.

On the side of the lion king's confidant, it is the busiest scene.

Five Stormbird fighter jets were docked there, and their pilots stayed in their positions all the time, waiting for the order to start and fight at any time, and beside these destruction engines flying in the sky, walked the technical sergeants of the First Legion They put as many anti-psychic devices as possible on these huge iron birds, most of which they couldn't even name.

And under the shadow of the wings of these steel war hawks, Coswayne was able to see those distant objects clearly: those were the rows of muzzles of the [Indomitable Truth], marking the full firepower output of a whole side, marking the success Thousands of crew members and servants stand at their posts, marking the fury of the void that can destroy a permanent fortress colony in an instant.

As long as Coswayne gives an order, they will launch a devastating blow to any corner of this dead world in the next second.

Of course, for the First Legion, these conventional weapons are nothing more than supplements, and the real power is showing its ferociousness at the end of Coswayne's vision.

The lion king's confidant narrowed his eyes, he looked into the distance, and looked at the most powerful force he could drive at present: that dim figure, that round and smooth arc, that body that symbolized the cry of the gods volume and appearance...

It was a whirlwind torpedo.

Coswayne stared at it, maybe for a minute.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

If possible, he hopes that everything in his vision is a meaningless preparation, but of course the power to make this decision is not in his hands.

The Dark Angel focused all his energy on his ears, where Jonson's voice and orders would sound at any moment.

Those few short words will determine everything that follows.

------

"I still don't understand, Kos."

At this moment, a voice full of confusion and complaints came from the side of the Lion King's confidant. He raised his eyelids and looked at the colleague who spoke aside: Asmodeus, he may be the best in the entire First Legion. think tank.

But in front of the [Mortal Psychic Advisor] beside their genetic father, all the think tanks of the First Legion are as bleak as the stars under the moon, although they do not feel resentment for this: resentment is not the Dark Angels. background color, and the power displayed by Morgan is enough to make these psykers feel instinctive fear and respect.

Even Coswayne himself was genuinely in awe of the mortal beside his genetic father, for he had seen her power firsthand: all it took was a long chant, no bloody sacrifice, no With mental exhaustion, her strength is enough to surpass the light of the stars, tear a shocking wound on Ran Dan's fleet, and turn the bad to rotten battle situation into a turning point for victory.

And when they kept their feet on the ground and fought fiercely with Ran Dan's army in the sand and storm, the silver-haired lady's strength was even more impressive: whether it was a permanent fortress that could not be attacked for a long time was thrown into the sky alive, Or a fully armed hive reduced to fetid ashes in a long whisper, enough to make even the most knowledgeable Terran veteran shake his head at the wonders of psychic powers.

Not to mention, by virtue of this great power with infinite possibilities, the lady with such a careful heart has saved the lives of countless dark angels during the constant running and casting of spells. During several years of fighting, perhaps three thousand The Dark Angels survived because of her rescue, and maybe more, many veterans of Terra survived the bloody attack, adding to the strength of the First Legion invisibly.

Because of this, when the Lion King's order reached Coswayne's mind, even though he kept fulfilling it, he also sighed in his heart.

Unlike Asmodeus, who was a little dazed, the Lion King's confidants certainly understood what the Lion King was thinking.

"What don't you understand, Asmodeus, you don't understand why we are doing this?"

"If it's classified, Cos, then I won't ask again."

Seeing the Terra veteran standing in front of him, Coswayne stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder as if he were his real brother.

"It's not a secret, Asmodeus, I can tell you."

"Fundamentally speaking, this matter is not that complicated."

"The things you see now, whether it's the weapons in my hand that specifically target psykers, or the storm birds and the muzzles, or even the whirlwind torpedo that can be launched at any time, are not part of our genes. Father's hasty thoughts in a short time."

"These things have been conceived in my father's mind, from the moment he saw Ms. Morgan show off."

------

"In the beginning, after his first training sessions with Morgan, all was well, our Gene-Father confident that his sword and bullets were strong enough against this cunning, thoughtful psionic lady."

"But as the days passed, with the increasing observation and understanding of Morgan, [Lion] is no longer completely confident in the power of steel. You should remember that from some time a few years ago, our Dad would always carry a stasis grenade with him, which is an escalation of vigilance."

"Then, the battle of Wollaston happened. You and I have witnessed with our own eyes, after a period of preparation, what kind of power our Ms. Morgan will burst out, which is enough to threaten the power of the Primarch, so , an orbital bombing will be the trump card as it should be, we will use a special bomb, except for our gene father who is protected by a special void shield, the firepower of this shell will destroy everything on a continent. "

"Of course, the soundness of this method was shaken with the occurrence of the Battle of Bilivan. Until now, we don't know how this mortal became stronger so quickly and obviously, but she is indeed getting stronger. , powerful enough to cause planet-level disasters, even an orbital bombing is not enough to really kill her."

"At this point, we have no choice but torpedoes and equivalent means of destruction."

Coswayne turned around, and he walked slowly to the porthole, staring at the world of death beneath his feet, with a deep voice swirling between the two of them.

"So, we arranged it all."

"Fleet, Destruction, and five hundred warriors equipped with the best special weapons, each of them can easily kill the most proud warrior under Magnus, and these 500 people add up to just Just another thin dam to prevent problems before they happen."

"After all, we all know how terrifying that lady who has fought side by side with us for several years is."

"The power enough to destroy Ran Dan's legion will naturally threaten the human legion if it turns around one day."

"The will that is enough to save countless warriors, if you have the heart to control and drive, you will naturally be able to control the entire barbaric world."

"Because of this, our father will be the only soldier in this battle, the vanguard and the marshal. Once he thinks that his own strength cannot control the development of the situation, then we will start everything in front of us."

"First the bombing, and then [-] fighters were air-dropped for the final beheading."

"If they also fail, then they will also use their lives to fight for the time for the Storm Bird to pick up the [Lion], and then the whirlwind torpedo will end everything."

"It will all end."

"Or live in peace."

------

Coswayne's voice was like a rolling stone, and he fell hard to the ground, making a sound that was impossible to make.

He could hear a rapid breathing as the Librarian behind him was taken aback by the words.

"Why... do you want to do this step?"

The eyes of the lion king's confidant were unwavering.

"Of course we can skip this step. As long as our genetic father gets what he wants, he won't make it worse. After all, it would be an unbearable waste."

"If safety can be guaranteed, if hunger can be alleviated, even the craziest beasts will not show their fangs at will. In fact, carnivores in the jungle are the most cautious creatures. The unpredictability that comes with fighting."

"We wouldn't do that if we didn't have to."

Coswayne didn't have a deeper explanation, because he was very clear that, as a Terra veteran, Asmodeus was far from being so naive, he just couldn't accept the sudden change in front of him for a while.

Sure enough, after only a few moments, the think tank of the dark angel came to his side calmly and asked his own question again.

"When did the adults decide all this?"

"From the very beginning, Asmodeus, he decided all of this from the very beginning. The beginning of the plan was the moment he saw Ms. Morgan's power, and the sign of the plan's implementation was the moment Ran Dan retreated. .”

"Now that the annoying mosquitoes have receded, it's time to get rid of the spiders in the corners."

Asmodeus blinked already, he saw the cold weapon in Coswayne's hand, as a psyker, he instinctively wanted to stay away, the knowledge in his mind told him, such A device that might actually kill an [alaph] outright.

"Your Excellency made such a decision early on?"

"This kind of thing does not require determination, it is a choice that is close to instinct and common sense."

Coswayne closed his eyes.

"A psyker so powerful, so mysterious, so uncontrollable."

"When the war breaks out, the soldiers are overwhelming, and the alien army occupies every galaxy and world, the one who can slaughter the enemy like this, who can stand alone, and who can use her power to serve the empire, is naturally the confidant of my lord. "

"But when the situation eases and the situation improves, and the endless enemy army is left with only remnants and defeated generals, and they go far away, and there is no hopeless situation, then such a powerful and mysterious psyker will no longer be a confidant."

"It's a confidant... a serious problem."

[Have I always been a symbol of disaster and calamity in your thinking, sir, I am curious about this. 】

The sound, the sound is getting closer.

Hearing this question, Zhuang Sen frowned involuntarily, and he walked lightly, like a most focused leopard, walking in the slightly decaying jungle.

He didn't answer the question.

Jonson accurately calculated his time and steps, and he kept updating a huge map in his mind. With Morgan's airdrop pod as the center, he had searched through most of the fields, which belonged to the Primarch's consciousness. It has been running at a high intensity, searching for clues of spiritual energy.

He was quite sure that what he was looking for was right now in the forest in front of him. His eyes could penetrate most of the area here, and his ears were pricked up to catch the slight sounds in the dead silence.

He heard the sound of boots rubbing against leaves. This time, it was exceptionally clear. Although it was only a moment that even the keenest Astartes would not have noticed, Jonson still caught it: it was a withered The leaves fell slowly under the capture of gravity, and accidentally rubbed the heel of the riding boots with the sound.

There was a vague smile on the corner of Lion King's mouth.

And at this moment, the voice came again, this time, it was still a problem.

[Although I have already asked, Mr. Johnson. 】

[But I still want to confirm it once. 】

【You, are you really here alone? 】

Accompanied by this question, Jonson could feel those invisible tentacles haunting his left and right sides. They were looming and indistinct, as if they were waiting for some kind of sound wave and consciousness to finally emerge to complete their purpose.

Johnson laughed.

He remembered something, an insignificant fragment of his memory.

At this moment, he finally discovered her secret, her weakness, her ridiculousness.

He was even genuinely smiling.

He raised the corner of his mouth, and softly spit out a firm answer.

【Yes. 】

[Of course I came alone. 】
