Chapter 251 The Rise of the Primarch: The Primarch's Army
Cole has never been to Macragge. Don’t be so surprised. Not everyone has been to the Eastern Pearl of the Ultramarine. Yes, yes, Cole has indeed fought many battles in the Ultramarine. The Eastern Frontier The war is raging, but fighting here is completely different from Macragge.
I have to say that Cole was surprised by the beautiful scenery of Macragge's city. Even after a tragic battle, the City of Glory can still be proudly called the Pearl of the East.
White marble columns stand proudly in the sun, and countless heroic epics are carved on the magnificent high walls. The wide avenue extends straight from the five gates of the city to the extreme fortress in the center, and on both sides of the avenue are countless beautiful buildings. In the magnificent courtyards and courtyards, emerald garden plants grow within the high walls, dotting the green vitality between the stones.
Cole walked on the long avenue. He walked on the holy marble pavement towards the main hall of the fortress in the distance. The majestic high wall guarded the golden door with an edge shape.
All the surrounding air defense towers have stopped roaring. When all the war flames dissipated, the place revealed its true appearance. High white walls stood majestically all around, and statues sat on the sloping upward walls.
The majestic statues of the Ultramarines stood proudly on the top of the fortress. Some of the burly giants held long swords, while others held shields and spears. These heroic warrior images stood between the silent heavy cannons, pointing towards each other. The giant cannons in the sky looked proudly around the fortress.
The blue sky spreads warm sunshine to the earth, and the long shadow of the sun draws a long outline on the white wall. The milky white wall also has a softer feel to the senses. It has to be said that the Ultramarines are very good at it. In this way, they almost perfectly blend the cold way of war with the warm and beautiful way of art.
Cole walked towards the Golden Gate not far away. He walked over step by step but his face looked very stiff. His abnormal behavior did not escape the attention of First Officer Anna. She has been following the captain for so many years. She could see his unusual reaction right away.
"Captain, are you nervous? Because you have to meet Lord Guilliman?" Anna said with a smile behind her. The short-haired first mate had obviously also been dressed up, and she looked more feminine now.
Ruby-like red lips and green eyes match her short red hair. She also has a snow-white silk scarf on her usual navy uniform, which almost perfectly sets off the color of her red hair, which makes her look so hot. And beautiful.
On the other hand, Cole, he obviously used everything for etiquette. The navy captain's uniform was spotlessly worn, with no wrinkles or violations of regulations. The golden buttons and badges were polished and his waist was worn for many years because of wearing weapons. The cracked belt was also replaced with a new one.
Especially the boots, which were so shiny they could almost be used as mirrors. It looked like Cole had polished them several times. Even the medals on his chest that Cole hadn't taken out for God knows how many years were all polished to a bright shine. Gold, silver and blue medals shine in the sun.
Cole looks like a standard naval captain, as if he stepped out of a propaganda poster, but it is obvious that Cole does not understand the fusion between beauty and dogma. The only thing worth mentioning about him is Anna was the only one to fix her hair.
"I think anyone would be like this when they meet the original body for the first time, so yes, I am a little nervous." Cole straightened his collar and said, while Anna laughed behind her and walked with her hands behind her back and military boots. Behind Cole, the sun shone like fire on the red hair.
"You look like a newly commissioned recruit who just graduated from the Naval Academy. You are nervous and excited. You look so cute." "Anna, I am the captain, please pay attention." "Why, we are not on the ship. , there is no one around who still practices the superior-subordinate etiquette?”
Anna smiled happily, and her smile was as bright as the sun hanging high in the sky. She stood on tiptoes and turned around briskly. On this deserted white wall avenue, she turned back to her normal Anna. Cole when he first met her at Macarius Naval Academy.
Thinking about it, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. Cole looked at the sunshine on the wall and sighed. He recalled everything in his hometown, the garden in the military academy, the library and the always busy star port in orbit. Everything seemed to be... Like a lifetime ago.
Cole looked up at the blue sky and sighed, but just as Cole was sighing, Anna hugged his neck from behind. Anna stood up on tiptoes and lay on Cole's back, forcing him to bend down, "Don't look like that. Damn you, why are you so natural when you meet Marshal Vito?"
"Because Vito has been with us for so many years, I can adapt to knowing that he is the Supreme Marshal. And you come down here. This is in the Extreme Fortress, how can you be seen by others?"
Anna jumped down. She smiled jokingly as she watched Cole adjust his appearance, "Are you ready for the lyrics? I heard that you rehearsed in the cabin for half a night last night, so don't forget the lyrics when you go in."
Cole arranged his military uniform. He straightened it evenly and cleared his throat. The captain looked at the golden gate not far away and sighed slightly, then proudly raised his eyes and walked forward, while Anna Smiling slightly and shrugging, she followed behind him.
The two of them walked up the long stairs. The Honor Guards in full power armor on both sides were watching them. Cole walked up the stairs with his head held high. He tried to look calm and calm, just like that. In effect, he basically did it, and I have to say that he did it very well. His expression was not panicked at all under the gazes of the burly giants around him.
Anna also did a good job. She put aside her previous playfulness and followed Cole seriously. The two strolled up the stairs. On the platforms on both sides and at the top were members of the Honor Guard holding shields and spears. Looking at them wordlessly, the bright red shirt slipped from his shoulders, and the golden lenses under the power helmet rotated with them.
Under the sight of these silent giants, the two people walked to the gate, where they were stopped. Under the blue gold banner flying above their heads, an ultramarine walked out. He straddled the power sword and had a hundred weapons under his arm. The captain's war helmet blocked the door.
"Whoever is coming, tell me your name." He raised his head proudly and said in an even arrogant tone. Cole glanced at the company logo on his shoulder and immediately recognized his identity.
I have to say that Sicarius is famous far and wide, or should I say infamous? Although Cole has never seen him before, he can still recognize his identity immediately, even without looking at the company logo. With such a conceited look, it may be difficult for the whole group to identify the second one.
Cole stood at attention and saluted Sicarius, and Anna also saluted Sicarius behind him with a standard military salute, "Infinite Frontier Captain Cole Markarian and First Officer Anna Yenafa, we Summoned to meet Lord Guilliman."
Sicarius raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes full of arrogance and contempt. He snorted coldly, "I, Cato Sicarius, Captain of the Second Company of the Ultramarines, Chief Swordsman of the Chapter , Champion of Makurat Knights, High-level Sect Master of Ultramar, Grand Duke of Tal, the Lord of Watch has heard of you."
Well, sure enough, Sicarius introduced his long list of titles without anyone asking him, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was awesome.
"Captain under Vito, you don't seem to be very powerful. How could Lord Guilliman summon a mortal like you?" Sicarius said very rudely, and Anna behind Cole frowned slightly. , when she was about to say something, another extreme warrior came over angrily.
"That's enough, Sicarius, Lord Guilliman didn't let you be the captain of the guard! Stop trying to make your presence felt here." On the other side, the company captain who was also straddling a power sword and wearing a red robe strode over. , judging from the company logo on his shoulder, he is the third company commander, Captain Mikael.
He walked to Sicarius and looked at the second company commander angrily. Sicarius snorted coldly. He proudly stood in front of several people with his hands on his hips, "I, Cato Sicarius, have the responsibility to review any Those who meet the Primarch, if they are Assassins, I, Cato Sicarius, will take them down."
"That's enough, Sicarius, I told you that Lord Guilliman did not appoint you as the captain of the guard." Mikael said angrily, and then he looked at Cole apologetically aside, and Mikael smiled awkwardly. Nodding to him, "Sorry, Captain, please go in, Guilliman and Lord Vito are waiting for you."
"I haven't finished checking yet!" Sikarius said, waving his fingers, and Mikael punched him on the shoulder and pushed him away from the door.
"That's enough, you idiot! You caused a delay in the meeting of the other two company commanders with the Lord, and made Guiliman and Lord Vito stand in front of the throne for ten minutes! Now get out of my way, or I will Give you a shot!"
Mikael pushed Sikarius away, and the latter cursed and repeated his long list of titles. Cole and Anna looked at the two company commanders who left and looked at each other. The fiery red-haired first mate Shrugging slightly, "Weird."
"But at least there are normal people. Let's go. Just like Captain Mikael said, we are already late." Cole said and walked into the Golden Gate. Anna glanced at the two company commanders walking away and shrugged. Shrugging, he quickly followed Cole.
The two strode through the spacious throne room of the Ultramarines, their military boots clicking on the marble floor. The two people soon walked from the center of the wide throne room to the end, and arrived at the towering tower. In front of the giant statue of an eagle with spread wings and the throne.
Cole and Anna stopped in front of the throne. In front of them stood two Space Marines under the throne, one green and one gray. The two Space Marines stood in front of the throne and looked sideways at the two of them. On the throne, there was a mountain-like mountain. The blue giant standing in front of the throne also stared at Cole. The sunlight shining from behind him made him look even taller.
Cole looked at him in silence for a moment. Without any hesitation, Cole knelt down on one knee. Anna was surprised and knelt down too. Cole buried his head and bowed his head in salute to the extraordinary Lord on the steps of the throne in front of him. .
"I am Captain Kor Markarian of the Infinite Frontier, and this is my first mate Anna Yenaffa. On behalf of all the members of the Imperial Navy, I would like to express my respect and loyalty to you. Lord Guilliman, I commend you. The supreme glory of you and the Emperor."
"I am extremely honored to do this. Captain, please raise your head and stand up. You should stand and face me." Guilliman smiled and raised his hand to signal. Cole nodded gratefully to Guilliman and stood up. Standing up, the captain nodded to the two Captains of the Space Wolves and Dark Angels.
Guilliman looked at Cole with a sincere smile, and nodded to Cole, "Marshal Vito told me a lot about you. I believe you are an excellent captain with outstanding military exploits and worthy of respect. Please accept my respect."
"My honor, my lord!" Cole said standing at attention, his heart almost jumping out of his chest with excitement. The tribute of a original body to a mortal is an honor that cannot be described in words.
Guilliman smiled slightly. He turned to look at Anna behind him and nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I think Sicarius caused you trouble again at the door. He also gave Captain Cecil and Warwick .Captain Gnarfist made an impact.”
"Ha, yes, that arrogant man stopped us at the door and asked us about this and that for five minutes!" Captain Warwick of the Space Wolves laughed. He didn't seem to care about this at all. Sure enough, It's a group from Ragnar, and the group style is easy-going.
"He should know his position. He is not the guard captain of the original body and has no right to question senior officers of the same rank as him." The serious captain of the Dark Angels said coldly. Cecil pressed the hilt of his sword and looked. Looking at Cole, the latter nodded to the company commander.
"As you said, Captain, but now Captain Mikael has driven away Captain Sicarius, so I guess the trouble is solved."
"Aha! It seems that there is still someone reliable." Warwick said loudly with his arms folded. Guilliman also looked at Cole and smiled. He nodded slightly and raised his head on the top of the Armor of Destiny.
"Okay, let's put aside the problems caused by Sicarius for the time being. We should talk about the business of summoning you." Guilliman said. The four people in front of the throne immediately turned around and stood facing the original body, but at this moment Only then did Cole realize that Vito was not present. Only Guilliman was standing on the throne, but Vito was nowhere to be seen.
But Cole decided to ignore this problem for now. He faced the original body and waited silently for orders, but Guilliman looked at them with a smile, easy-going and friendly, "No need to be nervous, I just want to ask you for a favor." ”
"We await instructions, sir." Captain Sissel took a step forward and said. Warwick also smiled and clenched his iron fist, and his braided beard swayed with his smile.
"My wolves and I are at your service, my lord, and we will kill all your enemies as long as you give your order." Warwick said with the extraordinary enthusiasm of the Space Wolves, while Guilliman looked at them and nodded gratefully. Smile.
"It's my honor, and indeed it is. I need your company and fleet to cooperate with the Ultramarines to clean up the star system around Macragge. I need your help before the various sub-groups of the Ultramarines return from completing their respective combat missions. ”
"We will wield the battle ax for you, my lord." Warwick said with a grin, and he slapped his chest generously with his iron fist. Guilliman nodded to him gratefully.
But he also noticed that Cecil on the side was silent, and the Dark Angel's company commander stood silently on the side. Guilliman looked at him and smiled slightly, "I know that the children of Lion have strict military discipline. I do I am not your Primarch and Chapter Leader, but I still ask you to accept it, Captain Sissel, we urgently need your support."
"I know that the children of Ryan are good at fighting, especially hunting and hunting. You once caused the Night Lords to suffer in the Theramas expedition. I hope to get your help this time."
Guilliman spoke sincerely to Sissel. Captain Sissel frowned slightly and was obviously troubled. Warwick looked at him with his arms folded in displeasure, "What's the matter? Are the Dark Angels afraid of fighting? Are you like this?" Are you scared?"
"The Sons of Lane are never afraid of fighting, Captain Warwick." Sissel immediately retorted. He looked at Warwick displeased, and the latter snorted and waved his hand.
"Then why do you not accept it? Lord Guilliman is the Emperor's son. Why do you not accept the request of the Primarch himself? Do you ignore his majesty?"
"That's enough, Captain Warwick, don't humiliate my battle brothers." Guilliman raised his hand to signal, and Warwick naturally closed his mouth. He snorted and took a few steps back. Sissel looked at He frowned and then looked at Guilliman, who also watched him raise the power claw of the Hand of Overlord.
"Captain Sissel, I really can't order you to obey me, and I won't do that, but I still ask for your support. Are you willing to help me and the Ultramarines?"
Guilliman's humility surprised Cole, and he could even be said to be shocked. He had never expected that the Primarch would be so approachable and humble, and he did not believe that anyone would refuse such a humble request.
This is indeed the case. Sissel was moved by the courtesy of the original body. The captain of the Dark Angel raised his arm and faced him with the iron fist on his chest. "In the name of Ryan, the Caliban knights and I will be at your disposal. Never give up."
"I am extremely grateful, Captain, for your help. You will be able to leave when the Ultramarines sub-groups return. I will always remember your assistance."
Both captains nodded in salute to Guilliman, and then the original body himself looked at Cole. The captain stood in front of the throne and faced Guilliman with a slight trepidation, while the latter had an approachable smile on his face.
"Captain Cole, I listened to Vito's description of you, and I firmly believe that you are one of the best captains I have ever seen, so I decided to send the Ultramarines Auxiliary Force, Macragge Defense Fleet and The entire supporting fleet of the Imperial Navy is placed under your command."
"My Lord, I." "I hope you can accept it, Captain. You are Vito's subordinate and I will not order you."
After hearing this, Cole immediately knelt on one knee. He lowered his head and responded to Guilliman about this glorious mission, "This is my honor, my Lord. I will do my best to fulfill my duties."
"I have no doubt about it. Please stand up, Captain. People of honor should not kneel." Guilliman walked down from the throne and knelt down to help Cole up. This courtesy made Cole's heart almost explode with excitement. He looked at the Primarch in front of him with excited arms trembling.
Guilliman gently pressed his shoulders. That smile surpassed all medals and titles. It was the highest recognition for a naval captain, nothing else.
"Lead the fleet to set off. The Space Wolves, Dark Angels, and Ultramarines will assist you. Like the two captains, when the Ultramarines return to defend, you will return to Marshal Vito. I believe he has an important mission that requires your assistance, a vital mission."
"Yes, sir!" Cole said standing at attention. Guilliman smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly. "Then everyone, please prepare to go to the battle. I will wait for your news of victory."
The two captains and Cole, Anna saluted Guilliman and turned away. Guilliman watched them from behind. Warwick walked to Cole and talked to him cordially, but left Sissel alone. The latter was obviously not going to approach them, and was aloof and indifferent.
Obviously, Warwick still didn't like Sissel very much. It seemed that the contradiction between the wolf and the lion had not been resolved even after ten thousand years, but I hope they can at least cooperate sincerely in the war.
Guilliman looked at them, and Mikael walked in from the gate. The third captain brushed shoulders with several people and exchanged a few words of greeting before walking quickly. Mikael walked in front of Guilliman.
"My lord, the Governor of the Macragge Archon Council wants to see you. He said he has something important to report. Should we summon him to the palace?" Mikael said softly. Guilliman looked at him, then lowered his head and looked at the clock on the lining of the armor and smiled slightly.
Guilliman walked up to the throne and turned to face the direction of the gate. "Summon them. Vito is probably about to change his clothes. He should also get used to meeting people in that way."
"Meeting people in that way? My lord, I don't understand what you mean." Mikael asked in confusion. Guilliman laughed, and his expression was like he was ready to see a joke.
"After ten thousand years, he wears the uniform of the Supreme Marshal to meet the Governor? I can't wait to see his funny look." Guilliman said with a funny smile, or a rampant smile.
"That would definitely be quite interesting."
