Chapter 174 Disappointment From Mother

Chapter 174 Disappointment from Mother

[I come from Avalon, the Avalon star system in the Eden star field, in the Far Eastern star field. 】

[As long as you start from Holy Terra, cross the Maelstrom area, and then move some distance in the southeast direction, you can find its location on the star map. If the distance from the Maelstrom to the Five Hundred Worlds is compared to a line If it is a straight line segment, then my home star is exactly one generation from the midpoint of this line segment. 】

[It is not too far from the northern border of the famous Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. There are also worlds with inherited civilizations scattered around it, and there are even one or two colonies developed by Mars, but generally speaking, It is also a relatively quiet place. During the five thousand years of conflict, it was rarely disturbed by the outside world. The local people even believed that gods lived above the clouds. 】

[If we take a compass and divide the two tips into the Avalon system and the Ultramar system, then use my home star as the center and the distance between it and Ultramar as the radius, If you draw a circle, then this circle will cover about two-fifths of the Far Eastern Starfield. 】

[The eastern part of this circle will cover Damocles and the mysterious area east of the empty ocean, while the southern part will touch the junction of the Far Eastern Galaxy and the Storm Galaxy. Its western border contains the home planet of the Salamander Legion. Nocturne, and Chogolis who raised our brother Chagatai Khan, and in the northwest corner of this circle, we can barely touch a star system called Badab in the maelstrom area. 】

[Ah...but these are not important. 】

[Let’s talk about my home planet: Generally speaking, Avalon is a huge, rich and relatively dangerous world. It is much larger than Holy Terra, with more than a dozen continents of various sizes and endless landscapes. Oceans, but not all land is suitable for human survival. 】

[Whether it is fertile plains, green valleys, soft sandy beaches, desolate mountains, scorching deserts, cold glaciers, endless black forests, or wastelands covered with moss and strange rocks...]

[As long as it is the terrain and landforms you can imagine, as long as it is a place repeatedly mentioned in human geography books, you can find corresponding products in this world. Not all of them are suitable for villages, towns, cities and The emergence of civilization, without exception, has magnificent scenery and unique products. Although dangers have always existed, there is no need to worry about crises related to land, food and drinking water. As long as we sincerely plant seeds and work hard, everyone can No one will go hungry. 】

[The only problem is that no matter where in Avalon, the mineral resources are always very poor, which somewhat delays the progress of technology and civilization]

[There is no doubt that it is a land to be proud of, and in the oldest local documentary records, more than five thousand years ago, the very beginning of all historical records, this world was named Avalon, the land of the gods. , is an island of pleasure built by the gods in the clouds. 】

[Those kings and priests believed that in the very beginning, a god on the clouds drove his silver-white ark to the highest peak in the world: Eternal Peak, where he created the legendary secret realm in the lake, which would remain peaceful and magnificent forever. In the center of the gem's lake, the gods made ten islands rise one after another, and planted the seeds of a golden apple tree on the centermost one. 】

[After the golden apples fell to the ground, He distributed them to people, and thus the earliest civilizations and kingdoms appeared. 】

[After that, the god would occasionally come to the surface to punish those princes who were too arrogant and crazy, but starting from a certain point five thousand years ago, he never appeared again. 】

[Yes, Horus, probably around the time when the Age of Strife began. 】

[After the gods disappeared, the power of the king finally surpassed the priests. Feudal kingdoms of various sizes began to appear in those fertile plains and lowlands. The fiefdoms of the earls and knights soon became insufficient. The borders of the kingdom began to Expanding to mountains, deserts and forests, they encountered terrible opponents there. 】

[Powerful wild beasts, numerous beast settlements, and barbarians who are also human beings who master weird magic. Some of them even have loose countries, not to mention that deep in the dense forest, there seems to be There are many secret realms and wizards, they are like the monsters in the depths of the ocean, possessing unimaginable power. 】

[The war broke out and lasted for thousands of years. More heavily armed knights and more and more off-duty legions appeared in various countries one after another. Wizards who could fabricate fire and lightning out of thin air were hired by every court with huge sums of money. , codex, gunpowder and compass became popular in society one after another, bringing new opportunities. 】

[With hundreds of years of perseverance in exploration and navigation, the entire world also completed contact at some point: although the kingdoms on each continent were not completely unified, they also had transactions and exchanges with each other, and interactions were ongoing. Impact and learning, and have their own characteristics depending on the location. 】

[Some countries still bow before powerful kings, while others have been usurped by secret wizard associations, and some are more peculiar. Those in the Gulf region who are keen on trade have allowed a more democratic system to rise. As for those Not to mention the tribes running on the grasslands, or the countries still kneeling before the statues of gods. 】

[That was about five hundred years before I landed: but sadly, due to various reasons, the pace of civilization stopped at that moment. 】

[A more powerful production method has never been researched. When I grew up and learned little by little, what I saw was still a land about various heroes and beasts, swords and magic, as well as electors and A land of religious wars. 】

[Children of nobles picked up swords and became knights, while children of peasants practiced longbows and transformed into rangers. They explored the vast wilderness and forests alone or in groups, dreaming of becoming household heroes and obtaining the nine treasures in the lake. Favored by a fairy, or passed down in a mysterious secret realm. 】

[Every king is fighting for their claims and marriages. They greedily spy on every piece of land, and at the same time exploit the power of their vassals day after day. In the wars they provoke, those vicious Mercenaries and knights took the opportunity to find their own careers. 】

[Some religions span the continent and are at their peak, while some religions have become old and have long since ceased to exist. The war for beliefs and idols can even spread for more than ten generations. For a holy city with history, there will be many people who have grown up. Thousands of knights left their homes, setting off waves of fanatical expeditions. 】

[You can see pirates plundering every merchant ship and every monastery. You can see the poor priests criticizing the bishops for how wrong their beliefs are. You can see some people denying it loudly. Kings and gods promote the power of science and reason. You can see that the pockets of merchants are getting bigger and bigger in countless busy trades. They can even influence the rise and fall of ancient dynasties. 】

[Everything is prosperous, even hopelessly prosperous: because this prosperity has been going on for hundreds of years, and for hundreds of years, everything has been stagnant. 】

[The history books of heroes are getting longer and longer, there are more and more busy seaports, and the rulers have more complicated titles and intricate blood relationships than they themselves can fully understand, but there are still more beasts needed. Killed, but there is still more land to explore, and everyone, whether they are kings, bishops or peasants, they are just repeating the stories that have lasted for generations. 】

[Whenever an opportunity arises to advance civilization further, it will die due to various reasons. 】

[Just like I can't find all the history of this world before the arrival of that so-called god. 】

[Civilization seems to have appeared suddenly, and it seems to have been fixed at a specific moment. 】

[Until my arrival, until my appearance and rise, my adoptive father ignited the ambition that every emperor would have. He declared that I was the descendant of the gods, and asked the people in the clouds to give him gifts in order to establish his hegemony. one's gift. 】

[They didn’t believe it at first, until I leveled a city, then let the warships go out of the sea, land on land, and conquered a Queen’s City that was said to have never fallen. 】

[So, they succumbed to the power. Although my adoptive father was still unable to create true unity, he could take over the crown of the Supreme King and become the nominal common master of everyone. 】

[However, I did not stay on my home planet for too long: less than ten years later, the empire’s fleet had arrived. 】

[Then, there are the stories you know. 】

——————

Morgan's narration came to an abrupt end because they had arrived at the destination of their trip, and the vanguard battleship of the Luna Wolves Legion also reported a problem that needed attention.

The target galaxy they had just arrived was not empty. A fleet of Ran Dan was cruising in the orbit of the target world, but their size meant that they were just trouble.

Horus raised his head arrogantly at this time, and he observed this group of desperate opponents through the divination box on the battleship: they did not even have twenty battleships, they were like mango chunks on a cream cake. .

The Shepherd God just glanced at these opponents casually: although he had collected some information about Ran Dan, he never paid more attention to it. After all, it was Zhuang Sen's prey.

Although on the surface it seemed that Horus and the Emperor had won a victory against Ran Dan in that nameless galaxy, every Imperial man knew that only Jonson and his legion were the only ones who could defeat Ran Dan. The greatest hero of the Dan Empire, the Wolf Shepherd God will not snatch this honor: he will never do such a tasteless and rubbish behavior.

Ran Dan belongs to Zhuang Sen's record and is an immortal monument to the Dark Angels. There is no doubt about this.

But then again...

Horus narrowed his eyes.

On the way here, during his conversation with the Emperor, Horus noticed the vague intention in the Emperor's words: Regarding everything about the Randan Empire, the Lord of Mankind seemed to intend to ban them all and let all Participants either forgot these memories or kept silent about them.

In other words, the greatest achievement of his Caliban brothers seems to be [disappearing].

Horus shook his head in his heart. At this moment, he really felt sad for his brother Zhuang Sen. He didn't know if Zhuang Sen would have the next chance to achieve such a feat again... He found it quite difficult. of.

Without the glorious memories and military exploits of Ran Dan, perhaps the King of Knights of Caliban is destined to be a second-rate echelon among the brothers: his Dark Angel Legion is indeed very powerful, so powerful that the Wolf Shepherd is not even willing to dream about it. In any situation as an enemy, in Horus's heart, Jonson's commanding ability was more or less not worthy of the First Legion.

Jonson is too petty. Without the grand mentality of Horus, Ferrus, and Guilliman, he is a great warrior and tactician, but on a broader stage, his performance is too much. Unsatisfactory.

As a Wolf Shepherd, he learned the true kingly demeanor from the Emperor, while his Gorgon brothers used cold calculation to create the most terrifying oppression in the galaxy.

As for Guilliman, the King of Ultramar, the everlasting fire of ambition in his heart has increased his magnanimity. Guilliman only needs to hold a quill to write more power and ambition. , and the separatist lord of the Ultramarines never concealed his arrogance and terrible ambition. He kept talking about his five hundred worlds, but who knew whether what he longed for in his heart was five thousand, fifty thousand, or even more?

Jonson... He is at most fourth, or a little worse: look what he has brought the prestigious First Legion to. These Dark Angels will never again be the opponents of the Moon Wolf in terms of merit and prestige. .

When Horus thought about this, he didn't even know whether he should be happy first or feel sorry for his brother.

And just when he was struggling, his eyes subconsciously glanced at his sisters, and he quickly caught something.

There seemed to be some kind of light of interest in her pupils.

"You have never participated in such a battle?"

[I have participated in many grander ones, but they were all too grand, so grand that people expected some kind of small-scale passion, but Jonson never let me waste time on those more subtle battlefields. 】

The Shepherd God snorted slightly: That is indeed something his brother can do.

"So what did he ask you to do in those times when there wasn't a huge war?"

[Office director... more or less. 】

"Sitting at his desk?"

[More than that, I sit in his seat and manage his army. 】

"..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

——————

Horus laughed at the joke.

Why didn't he realize just now that his blood relative was so gifted with humor?

——————

"So, how about a little competition, Morgan?"

Horus laughed for a while, and then made a suggestion. He was satisfied to see the fire in Morgan's pupils burning because of this simple suggestion.

[Hmm... But I only have six people, and you have at least six thousand people. This kind of competition does not seem very fair. 】

"Leave the war to my children. As for you and me, each of us only needs to bring sixty people. We can have a hunting competition, using Ran Dan's officers and battleships as our respective scores."

[But I don’t have sixty people either. 】

"I can lend you Abaddon, and some Gastalin, and the best of my boys, they will be no worse than any warrior of any legion, I promise."

【...Abaddon...】

"What's wrong? Do you need me to change it?"

【No. 】

Morgan smiled, her eyebrows arched.

[In a sense, I actually like the kid Abaddon. 】

The Wolf Shepherd smiled proudly.

"Yeah, it's a pity that he's mine."

[But then, isn’t he mine? 】

Horus was stunned for a moment, then continued to laugh.

——————

When the Wolf God laughed enough and began to order his descendants to start everything about war and hunting, Hector finally left the arena and returned to his mother.

Morgan nodded, not seeming to care much.

But when the last Luna Wolf was also concentrating on Horus's order, she quietly came to her heir.

[How is it, did you win? 】

She asked softly, and then saw the melancholy face of her bloodline.

"Um……"

"His Terminator Armor is too hard, I'm not impressed."

Hector uttered these words with difficulty, and then he couldn't help but secretly glance at his genetic mother.

Morgan looked at him, neither angry nor angry. She just glanced at her child quietly, and then.

He pursed his lips and frowned.

She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just patted Hector's breastplate quietly and then lowered her head.

——————

Hector breathed deeply.

Emperor...

The throne...

Everyone is fine, come and kill him!
