Warhammer 40: Gods Of Mortals

Chapter 488 The Gentle Lion

……

In the military camp in the fortress city of Karis, the Lion King and his descendants met.

There are a total of nineteen Fallen Angel Space Marines including Zabriel. Nine of them, including Zabriel, hid in Caris on the eve of the Battle of Tyron, and the other ten came after the victory of the war. Found by Zabriel or looking for Zabriel on his own initiative.

Nineteen fallen angels.

These many fallen angels are enough for the Dark Angels to increase their performance for hundreds of years.

When these fallen angels saw Ryan, their first reaction was not to salute their genetic father, but to immediately look for weapons they could find and then confront him.

One of the Space Marines who had just withdrawn from the city wall and was lying on the bed in the dormitory without his armor even grabbed two wine bottles nearby instead of running to the door to get his weapons.

If Zabriel hadn't been in front of Ryan, Ryan would have been fired by explosive bombs.

"Why, Brother Zabriel." A Space Marine armed with a bolter stood up, "Why did you bring this traitor here?"

Ryan was pointed at so many guns, and a deep roar first came from his throat, proving that he was a little angry, but he did not curse or take action.

In Ryan's eyes, his descendants are like frightened kittens. They have just struggled in danger for so long that when they see the genetic father or other members of the mother group, they immediately bared their teeth and exploded into fur. Knee reaction.

"We should sit down and talk with father." Zabriel stepped forward and slowly took off the battle brother's weapon.

But the battle brother thought that Zabriel was under duress, so he took the opportunity to kick Zabriel behind him, and then continued to confront the Lion King.

"Why don't you each give me a sword?" Ryan showed no fear in the face of the gun. He walked to the table as if he were at home, pulled out a chair and sat down.

The fallen angels said nothing.

"If you don't want to give your father a sword, then sit down and let's talk." Ryan patted the table.

The table printed out of a single block of special alloy was specially used by Space Marines, and it was slightly deformed after just two clicks by Ryan.

Ryan's attitude was nothing like Ryan.

But Llane's power revealed that he was the Lion, Lord of the First Legion, Lord of Caliban, and the Emperor's eldest son.

The fallen angels finally sat down and had a good talk with Ryan.

The two sides broke down what happened 1 years ago and talked about it carefully.

Ryan's personality is no longer as violent as it was 1 years ago, and this has indeed brought him benefits.

Some conflicts can be resolved by just talking. There is no need to intensify the conflict by blowing people's heads off.

The Lion King told his descendants about his trip to his home planet on the eve of Caliban's destruction 1 years ago.

"I attacked you not because I betrayed humanity and the Emperor, but because the news I learned was that Caliban had been corrupted by Chaos, and that a ship fired at my ship at that time."

The Lion King said it very simply. In fact, the destruction of Caliban was definitely not as simple as who was deceived.

Zabriel and his brothers explained why they attacked the Lion King.

At that time, the new recruits on Caliban had just put on armor and picked up weapons. They saw the Genefather attacking friendly forces, and then fought back.

Zabriel and the survivors discussed it afterwards and felt that the Lion King had rebelled, but now it became clear that the Lion King was the one who should feel betrayed.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the Lion King and his descendants talked about the destruction of Caliban.Even he and his descendants were unable to fully reconstruct the cause of Caliban's destruction.

"I saw the orbital bombardment destroy Caliban," Zabriel said.

"Impossible." Ryan shook his head and denied, "I have issued so many extermination orders. I still don't know what kind of orbital bombing can destroy Caliban?"

The heirs had nothing to say, but they thought that was the case.

The information that Lion King, Zabriel and others have is very one-sided.

Somehow... Ryan felt that the reason for Caliban's destruction was not simple, and many factions were involved.

Just like the fallen angels, there are also factions within them.

This is a very, very complex matter, and may even involve some ancient secrets, the Dark Watchers who are wrapped in black robes, the prophecies of Sanguinius...

In short, this cannot be clarified now.

In addition, there are the fallen angels who are being hunted... Obviously not all fallen angels are good people, and there are also complex factions.

In short, the destruction of Caliban and the fallen angels are just a tangled thread, unclear and complicated.

At present, Zabriel and others have resolved the misunderstanding with Ryan through conversation. This is the most important thing for them at this time.

"I have to go back to Terra to see my father." Ryan stood up and made a decision, "Your safety is the first priority, but I think you are living well here, so I won't go back to the Stone Fortress to help you clear your suspicions. "

Zabriel did not expect the Gene Father to clear his suspicions. The Dark Angels had been chasing the Fallen Angels for 1 years. They may have ignored Ryan and continued to pursue them when they thought it was necessary to hunt down the Fallen Angels.

Regardless of whether they were in the Chapter or Legion era, the relationship between the Dark Angels and Lion was quite subtle, which was different from the relationship between the Blood Angels and the Ultramarines and their respective original bodies.

"We will arrange a ship to take you to Terra immediately." Zabriel stood up and said.

As the commanding officer of the Karis Planetary Defense Force, Zabriel has the right to mobilize a ship to send the Gene Father where he wants to go.

It doesn't even require a fleet, just an extremely fast small ship equipped with a dimension engine specially optimized for speed.

"Your status in the Star District is quite sensitive. Although you didn't say it, I can guess that you are a guarantor or something like that. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Star District to let you be the commander." Ryan walked up to Zisi and pressed his big hand on it. On the shoulder armor, "The sector will definitely arrange for ships to send me away, but before that I still have some things to do."

Hearing this, Zabriel turned to look at his battle brothers.

These fallen angels who still chose to fight for mankind looked at each other.

Ten thousand years ago, the Lion was the Emperor's executioner, and the First Legion was the sword in the executioner's hand.

It is obviously reasonable that Lane must eliminate any trouble for the empire, but the question is...whether Lane will consider the Tyrone sector to be a trouble.

"What are you worried about?" Ryan asked.

He had already seen the worries of his descendants, but he just wanted to ask.

Zabriel and the others were speechless and all lowered their heads.

"Don't worry, in my eyes the Tribunal is quite extreme, and I won't be like them." Ryan smiled and shook his head, "You warriors who are still loyal to humanity and the Emperor...not just you, but also those who are on fire. Guys, especially tall guys... There must be a reason why you people choose to continue fighting here. I don’t need to conduct a second inspection, I believe all of you."

After saying that, the Lion King turned and left, leaving with the admiring eyes of his children.
