Chapter 265 The Primarch Rises: Victory, Glory, and the Return of the King

Captain Cole stood in front of a huge French window. In front of him was a large, shining starry sky. Those mysterious stars twinkled in the dark background of the Milky Way. Cole's eyes were fixed on the stars, but one of the brightest things made him look over involuntarily.

It was not a shining star. Those stars hanging high in the dark night scene of the Milky Way could not shine so brightly. Cole's entire front body was lit up by the light of that thing. The captain's eyes looked at the huge man-made object that slowly passed by the window. Its plasma propulsion array was emitting a strong propulsion flame.

Cole raised his eyes and looked at the regiment logo passing by on the silver-white ship. If Cole remembered correctly, it was the logo of the White Archon Regiment. The magnificent regiment strike cruiser slowly passed by the window. The huge steel body covered the entire starry sky. The huge shadow enveloped Cole's body from the window.

His eyes looked at the lights that replaced the starry sky. Countless lights were projected from the windows and buildings of the warships. The dim hulls were flickering with lights. Cole looked behind him, and the space warrior warships belonging to different regiments were crossing the starry sky.

Countless plasma thrusters pulled out a tail flame, and the fine particles emitted after the fuel was burned out floated in the starry sky. The flickering burning particles gathered together, and the flames of all the thrusters of dozens or hundreds of warships gathered together to form a long galaxy.

Cole's eyes swept over the huge warships one by one, and Vito was walking over from his side with a smoky sausage in one hand. He was chewing the sausage in an unseemly manner and pouting his lips. He walked over to Cole, and the snapping sound of his mouth made Cole very uncomfortable.

The captain's happy expression of appreciating the proud creation of the Empire was gradually replaced by boredom. He slowly turned his head to look at Vito on the side, "Marshal, please be self-disciplined in formal occasions. Your current behavior is quite inconsistent with your status."

"What's the matter? Because there are more than a dozen Space Marine Chapter Captains and their Honor Guards here, you can't let me eat?" Vito's words were unrepentant, and he took another bite of sausage. Cole sighed helplessly, and he turned his head slightly to look at the hall behind him.

In this magnificent hall, there are hundreds of Space Marines, wearing power armors of different colors and distinctive logos. Cole looked at them with awe and curiosity in his eyes. He had never seen so many Space Marine Chapters gathered.

Vito also chewed the sausage and slowly turned his head to look into the hall. He was much more indifferent than Cole. He continued to chew the delicious sausage slowly, making unclear sounds in his mouth, "Have you counted how many people there are? How many regiments?"

"I thought this was your job, Lord Supreme Marshal." "I'm eating. Do you know how hungry you are after going to the Garden of Nurgle?"

Vito waved the sausage that he had chewed off most of the way quite naturally. The teeth marks on it were clearly visible. Cole held his forehead in silence, then slowly slid his hands down from his face. The captain looked at the Space Marines who were talking enthusiastically in the hall and put down his hands.

"There are about eighteen regiments, their chapter leaders and members of the Honor Guard." Cole answered affirmatively, and Vito took another bite of the sausage and laughed jokingly. He looked at these Space Marines who crowded the hall tightly, and the power armors gathered together, like a sea of ​​steel.

"There are at least a hundred Space Marines here. Our position is not very good. How did you count them? I can only recognize a few regiments now." Vito shamelessly explained the fact that he did not perform the duties of the marshal, and he did not have the slightest intention of repentance, but Cole was used to it, so well, it looks the same as before, and this kind of thing has to be done by himself.

"Although they have a lot of people, each regiment has different logos and paint. After it is clear that each regiment is led by a chapter leader and ten members of the honor guard, it is easy to draw a conclusion." Cole's eyes swept across the Astartes in the hall. The Ultramarines' sub-regiments laughed at each other. This can be called a Space Marine event.

"I always feel that we don't belong to this meeting, Marshal, I mean, I don't belong to this meeting." Cole said a little frustrated. He looked at the warriors and said self-doubtfully, while Vito raised his eyebrows and pointed a corner of the sausage at Cole.

"Why do you think so?" Vito asked. Cole glanced at him. Sure enough, Vito immediately took another bite of the sausage. This time, he also picked up a glass of wine and an apple from the table on the side. It seemed that his dinner looked more abundant.

Cole looked at the Space Marines again. He frowned slightly and stood at the edge of the hall looking at them.

"Everyone here is a demigod. You, a Space Marine, you have a living saint, and I am just an ordinary person, a mortal. I always feel that I don't belong here. Mortals like me shouldn't appear in such places."

Vito smiled jokingly. He held the big sausage and hugged Cole's shoulders. The shaking sausage even hit Cole's chest. The neat navy blue coat was stained with a stain, but it was obvious that Vitos didn't even care about it. He just smiled and raised the wine glass and drank a sip of wine.

Vito pointed the finger holding the wine glass at the Space Marines in front of the two people, these burly demigods, and Cole's eyes also looked in the direction of Vito's finger.

"Everyone here is human. Cole, you and me, Guilliman and these Space Marines are all human. There is no difference between supermen and mortals. We are all human."

Vito laughed and hugged Cole's hand and bent it in front of the captain. Cole watched Vito take a bite of sausage in front of him. He chewed the sausage very happily and pointed to the other side. Pointing with the hand holding the sausage, "You are looking at her. I can tell you that she was an ordinary person when she was not a living saint. All saints and God's Chosen were ordinary people before they gained power. Maybe you Can I be blessed and become a saint in the future?"

Vito patted Cole on the back and laughed. The latter coughed and took two steps forward after being patted like this. It seemed that Vito's strength had not returned to its usual level after using his ultimate move, but he Obviously not aware of this, he was greeting Celestine and Delantius who were approaching with open arms and a smile.

"My little angel, you're back. Come on, give me a kiss." Vito said and kissed him directly, and then his face was pushed away by Celestine. The little angel turned his head away and looked at him with a speechless expression. .

Seeing that the plan failed, Vito smiled and hugged Celestine's shoulders. He lowered his head and looked at Celestine's figure in armor, and then handed her the sausage that he had bitten to the fullest.

"Are you tired of killing so many traitors? Come and have a bite." Vito dangled the thick sausage in front of the little angel, who pushed his hand away in disgust, "Get out, who wants to eat it?" The sausage you bitten is full of saliva.”

"What's wrong, are you maintaining your figure? I think your figure looks good." "How did you see my figure through a layer of armor?" "It doesn't matter, we will verify it with our own eyes after the meeting. After taking off our clothes ”

Vito hugged Celestine and laughed, while Cole raised his eyebrows with a strange expression, "You guys."

"Yes, let's go." Vito was pushed away by Celestine before he could finish his words. The right side of his face was squeezed into a ball by Celestine's palm, and the words in his mouth became blurred. , Vito looked at the slightly red-faced Celestine and smiled, "Why are you so shy? It's not the first time for us. I remember the first time was when you were a battle nun, oh, then It was a wonderful time.”

"Shut up, or I'll give you a blow in the mouth." Celestine said, pushing Vito away from him. Vito, who was smiling shamelessly, proudly put his hands on his hips, and he gave Cole a magical look. He raised his head as if to show off.

Captain Cole rolled his eyes speechlessly, while Vito continued to smile and put his hands on his hips. He smiled and looked towards the far entrance of the hall, "Okay, it's time for the protagonist to appear."

"Who?" Cole asked subconsciously, while Vito looked at him with an amused smile and shrugged, "Big Blueberry, who else could it be?"

Vito looked at Cole's expression and waved his hands boredly. He muttered impatiently, "Okay, I know I should call him Guilliman. You are really boring, but anyway, he is here."

"How did you know? It's so noisy here." Cole asked in confusion, while Vito took a bite of the sausage and said while holding the half of the sausage hanging outside, "We all have our own observation skills. Yours is numbers and statistics, mine is probably perception."

"Besides, the sound of that extra-large blueberry walking was so loud that I could feel it halfway across the corridor." Vito said and looked towards the entrance in the distance. Cole also looked over. When the captain When I looked over, I happened to see Sicarius walking into the hall. He stood by the door with his sword in hand and announced loudly.

"I! Cato Sicarius, Captain of the Second Company of the Ultramarines, Chief Swordsman of the Chapter, Champion Knight of Macragge, Lord of the Watch, Grand Duke of Tallser, hereby declare to everyone that Lord Guilliman Come!" Sikarius said and stepped aside. The members of the Ultramarines Honor Guard who walked in behind him were arranged on both sides, leaving an aisle in the center for the great son.

"Damn it, Sicarius can even shout about his useless titles, but he is so impressed that people who don't know him think he is the chapter leader." Vito said with a joking smile, Seiler Sting chuckled quietly and stood aside with one hand on his hips. He looked at Sicarius and smiled.

"His narcissism and arrogance are probably the most outrageous I have ever seen. What about you? Have you ever seen anything more outrageous?" Celestine turned his head and looked at Vito, who continued to chew meat with that smile on his face. After swallowing the piece of sausage, he smiled and turned his head to look at Celestine, "Probably only Fulgrim and Lucius can compare with him. Sometimes I really feel that he is in the wrong group. "

Vito said with a smile, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a roar. His eyes moved from Celestine to the entrance. The members of the Honor Guard on both sides knelt down neatly. They lowered their heads and looked towards the entrance. The great Lord walked in and bowed his head in salute.

As Sicarius knelt down together with Calgar Chapter Master who was closest to the entrance, and various Chapter Masters and their Honor Guards in the entire hall also knelt down, the sound of power armor rumbled and knelt down briefly filled the room. Under the entire dome, Guilliman walked in from the door and looked at the kneeling warriors, smiling and raising his hands.

"Please rise, chapter masters and warriors, you are all men of honor and should stand proudly instead of kneeling." Guilliman said as he walked down the steps, and he reached out to help an interstellar person. Soldier, he pressed down on the frightened soldier in front of him and smiled.

"Which battle group are you from? Warrior." Guilliman asked with a friendly smile. This century-old veteran with three or four golden domes on his head looked frightened. He had clearly experienced thousands of battles, and his spirit had already weakened. It should be indestructible, but now he felt at a loss and helpless.

"The Nova Warriors Chapter, Lord Guilliman, I. I am" he suddenly stuttered. When he realized this, the veteran felt ashamed. He almost immediately knelt down to confess to his primarch. He behaved rudely, but as soon as he bent his knees, he was supported by Guilliman.

Guilliman smiled and helped him up. He looked at the warrior in front of him without a trace of blame. He pressed his shoulders and smiled, "Tell me your name proudly, warrior, and I will listen to your glory."

The warrior of the Nova Chapter proudly held up his chest, almost unconsciously, as if a wordless power was transmitted into his body together with the original body's words. He held his head high and looked at Guilliman in front of him. , "Lucas Valkrian Detucius, my lord! Members of the 1st Company of Nova Warriors and the Honor Guard!"

"This is a position of honor, Brother Lucas, and I salute you." Guilliman said, looking around at the kneeling warriors in the hall, as they raised their glorious iron fists above their heads.

"I salute you too, my children, stand up now! Honorable warriors, let me see your faces!" Guilliman's words were like fuel injected into the engine of the Leman Russ main battle tank, the surging power It instantly gave strength to all the surrounding warriors, and they all stood up. The steel bodies suddenly stood up like a sea of ​​steel, towering around Guilliman.

Guilliman looked at them and smiled. He put down his iron fist and looked up at those bright eyes. He looked at the warriors surrounding him. He could see the enthusiasm and vitality in their hearts. "I am very happy to be here." Gathered together with my sons again after ten thousand years, you make me proud, you have completed your ten thousand year mission, please accept my respect.”

"We will always be loyal to you, sir! Whether we go to the end of the universe or the deepest depths of hell!" The leader of the Origin Chapter said loudly. He took a step forward and proudly placed his power fist on his chest.

"The same will be true for me and my warriors. We swear allegiance to you, and we will fight to the death for you!" Another chapter leader from the Iron Snake Chapter, he swore loudly with a loud voice, and the honor behind him The members of the Guard all declared their loyalty in the same loud voice.

There was a sound of oaths all around, and the voices of loyalty from each battle group sounded one after another. The loyal warriors chanted with unparalleled enthusiasm. Guilliman looked at each of their faces, and he swore to them. One by one nodded in response.

Amidst the shouts of the surrounding warriors, the Chapter Commander Calgar stepped forward. He stood beside Guilliman. Guilliman also naturally looked at the Chapter Commander directly under his command, the Ultramarines Chapter. Calgar Chapter Commander The leader raised his head and nodded to his original body before walking into the center of the hall.

Chapter Master Calgar looked around at the other Chapter Masters in the center of the hall. They all walked out of the crowd at the same time. Dozens of Chapter Masters gathered in the center of the hall. Warriff, Captain of the Iron Wolf Company of the Space Wolves, Also with them was Cecil, Captain of the Dark Angels' 4th Company.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and the heated atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Captain Cole looked at all the soldiers who had fallen silent. Not only them, but everyone in Wei looked at Calga in the center of the hall, and he also looked around. Everyone finally spoke after the atmosphere calmed down for a moment.

Chapter Master Calgar, who is wearing Terminator power armor, is very burly. He is tall in his own right. Even if he stands among a group of Chapter Masters, he is the most eye-catching one. And now, this man returns in Guilliman The unquestioned leader of the first five hundred worlds began to speak.

"Brothers, today is a glorious day, not only because the Sons of Guilliman finally reunited with our father, but also because we have won great victories." Calgar walked slowly in front of the space warriors. The Chapter Masters on both sides of him, wearing the same power armor as him, looked at Calgar as he walked by, and the warriors behind them also followed Calgar.

Throughout the hall, all the warriors standing on the rows of steps and high places looked at Calgar walking below. In this hall, hundreds of burly demigods listened silently to Calgar. That words.

"The battle brothers of the Brotherhood of Ultramar brought the joy of victory. Now, through the efforts and fighting of the various Sons of Guilliman Chapters, those blasphemies and traitors have been driven from our homeland. Macragge has returned to tranquility and peace, and in time, prosperity will return to this land."

The Chapter Commander of Calgar stopped and faced the two members of the Brotherhood Chapter. He nodded solemnly and saluted the two men. Captains Warriff and Cecil also nodded to him. The Chapter Commander of Calgar turned sideways and looked around. Surrounded by the Sons of Guilliman, "We must be grateful to these valuable allies, with whose help Macragge was preserved and our Primarch returned."

"Please accept my personal and the respect of the Ultramarines, two respectable company commanders." Calgar said sincerely, and the chapter leaders around him also expressed the same gratitude. Facing their respect, he calmly Captain Cecil also lowered his head and greeted them with knightly etiquette.

"There is no need for this, Chapter Masters. The Sons of Lion fought side by side with the Sons of Guilliman thousands of years ago. Together we defeated those nightmarish enemies. This should naturally be the case now." Cecil was pious. He was holding the pendant on his chest, the sacred double-winged sword hanging on his chest.

"Indeed, I rarely agree with the words of the Dark Angels because they are too boring, but this time I must say that he is right." Captain Warwick is also very burly. He is almost as tall as Chapter Commander Calgar. When he was even, he showed the fangs in his mouth and smiled, holding Cecil's shoulder next to him.

"The Space Wolves are also honored to fight alongside you, my brother." Warwick said with a smile, and Cecil also showed a rare smile. He nodded to Warwick, "It's the same for us, Brother, at all times, the Sons of Llane will fight alongside our brothers in the pack for the glory of the Emperor."

"For the All-Father and the Gene-Father." Warwick said proudly, and Calga nodded, and then looked at Captain Cole who seemed inconspicuous on the edge in the distance, which surprised Cole very much. .

"For the sake of the Emperor, we should also pay tribute to His Navy. The Imperial Navy's performance in past battles has been respectable. We should remember their dedication and sacrifice. Captain Cole, please allow me to pay tribute to you on behalf of my brothers. Salute to you and to the Imperial Navy.”

As he spoke, Chapter Commander Calgar lowered his head. The senior Space Marine leaders beside him, including the two company commanders, all saluted Cole. This surprised the captain, but he was not at a loss either. , this was not his first collaboration with the Space Marines, so Cole quickly regained his composure.

He stood at attention and responded to them with the most standard military salute of the Imperial Navy, "The Imperial Navy will always fight in the star sea in the name of the Emperor, and will always shed blood and sacrifice for his heirs."

Vito looked at Cole chewing in his mouth, smiling up and down. He shrugged slightly and looked at Calga, who happened to look at him. The two just happened to meet each other. Calga Give Vito a nod of respect.

"Vito Constantine, you were once a respectable judge to us, and now you are a respectable marshal. The respect you have does not come from history books, legends and fairy tales. But it comes from our respect and recognition now.”

"We will always be grateful for the valuable help you have provided. You have brought us hope and dispelled the epidemic and suffering. My brothers and I will support your cause as we promised. When You call us and we will go.”

Vito smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back and nodded to Calga, who also nodded and looked at Celestine aside. The two did not talk, they just exchanged glances and nodded to each other, but that was enough Convey the meaning of both parties.

Calgar then turned and walked back to the back of the hall. He looked around at his brothers along the way, "But today, it is not just these glory. The victory we achieved must be valuable and worthy of eternal praise, but only another victory can It’s truly valuable and a real victory not just for us but for the Empire.”

Calgar said, turning to face Guilliman. He looked directly into the blue eyes of his original body. Chapter Master Calgar lowered an iron fist on his chest, "My lord, now that the five hundred worlds are no longer under threat, your The oath has been completed. This is also our oath to the Five Hundred Worlds. Now, on behalf of all the Ultramarines and all their brother groups, I formally request you. This is also the wish of the people of the Five Hundred Worlds. "

"We ask you to be crowned. We ask you to become the king of the five hundred worlds again. The Ultramarines and their brothers and sons will be loyal to you. From this, we can turn our sights to the sacred Terra and the Empire, and the greatness of mankind. The nation asks for your salvation and leadership.”

Calgar took a step back after speaking. The Chapter Master waited for his original body's reply. Guilliman looked at him, and then at the Chapter Masters on both sides. They all nodded to Guilliman to show that they Support and recognition of Calgar’s opinions.

Guilliman then raised his head and looked into the distance. He cast his vision in the direction of Vitor, who walked to the edge of the steps with the glass of wine. He looked down at Guilliman and the Chapter Masters from a high place.

"What is your opinion? Marshal Vitor, can you express your opinion on behalf of the Emperor?" Guilliman asked, Calgar also turned to look at Vitor, and the Chapter Masters all looked over.

Yes, they need the support of Vito, the support of the Supreme Marshal. He is the leader of all the armed forces of the empire and the chief high lord of the empire. With his support, they have the support of the empire.

Vito smiled and took a sip of wine. After putting down the glass, he shrugged slightly, "I can only speak for myself, but I think if the emperor was here, he would make the same decision. If you were crowned king, The news of the arrival of an emperor's son will spread throughout the empire like a spark, and all the imperial people in the dark galaxy will regain their courage and fighting spirit. The empire needs the return of a god, and I, my mission is to disappoint the empire and mankind, So my decision couldn’t be easier.”

Vito smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, and he raised the glass in salute to Guilliman, "I will crown you, I will praise your title, I will fight side by side with you, Robert Guilliman, to You salute, Regent of the Empire and King of the Five Hundred Worlds, and we will praise your name.”

Robert Guilliman looked around at the warriors around him. He watched them raise their heads after a moment of silence. He stood proudly in the center of the hall, "Then I will accept my mission."

Calgar turned around and shouted with his arms raised. His loud voice echoed under the dome, "Long live the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds and the Regent of the Empire."

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The warriors in the hall raised their arms and shouted in unison. Their voices echoed in the hall. Countless superhuman descendants cheered around the original body. Vito smiled at them, and Cole walked to his side and watched the scene with him from this angle.

"The world will remember everything that happened today. We witnessed a moment of history here, Marshal." Cole said with his hands behind his back.

Vito smiled. He looked at the cheering warriors and Guilliman who celebrated with them. "Yes, Cole, history will remember today."
