Chapter 96 96, the Second Legion's Surgical Transformation Is Complete.

The four Primarchs talked for a long time in this cage. When Dukel arrived, even the loyal Grey Knights and Sisters of Silence were evacuated.

No one knows what the four great Primarchs communicated in the cage that day. It was just that when the Grey Knights left, they heard a word that was mentioned many times by the Primarchs - Randan.

The aliens of Randan once formed an alliance, which caused great trauma to the Empire during the Great Crusade.

In that battle, humans, as the overlord of the galaxy at that time, invested nearly half of the Empire's troops, and most of the galaxy was ignited by the war, and only then did they completely defeat the alien army of Randan, but they also paid a huge price for it.

The Dark Angels of the First Legion suffered heavy losses.

The Primarch of the Second Legion was completely removed from the list after that battle.

The Emperor was humiliated and ordered the erasure of all memories of that place, burying this history completely in the long river of time.

No one still remembers what happened there, even the great Primarchs.

But even so, in the conversation with his brothers, Duker still learned two precious pieces of information:

- The Randan aliens control a powerful psychic technology.

- Although they have been completely defeated, they have not really died. They are still lingering in the vast galaxy, waiting for the time to revive.

After learning these two important pieces of information, Duker's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

All the Primarchs present believed that Duker would be eager to find the traces of the Randan aliens and dig out the secrets that were sealed ten thousand years ago.

But the second Primarch did not do so. He just ended the conversation between the brothers and left silently.

When the Primarchs parted, everything was calm again.

Duker and Magnus returned to the research team and continued to invest in the construction of the Second Legion; Guilliman also returned to his office as usual to deal with heavy government affairs; and Fulgrim was still imprisoned.

It was as if nothing had happened.

After nearly half a month of sleepless research, Dukel's research team has achieved significant results.

Not only has the surgical plan for the Second Legion been completely finalized, but the research on weapons and equipment has also begun.

For the two great sages, this is also a rare opportunity. The Primarch's mental force field can shield the influence of Tzeentch to ensure that their design drawings will not be quietly contaminated.

One after another, new technical problems were solved one by one by this research team.

Until this day, Shivara brought the first batch of candidates for surgery recruited from the Second Legion's reserve to the laboratory of the research team.

As the first batch of candidates to receive the transformation of the Second Legion's Primaris Space Marines, they are more of experimental subjects, and need to bear great risks and unknown probability of death.

As volunteer warriors, they are also well aware of this.

But even so, before the operation begins, Dukel still wants to emphasize the risks of the operation again.

But when he saw that the twenty-two soldiers who volunteered to participate in the surgery were all from the Krieg Corps, and even the twenty-second political commissar of Krieg, he swallowed the words of reminder again.

Because there was no need to remind.

For these soldiers of the Krieg Corps, let alone the unknown risk of death, even if there was a 100% probability of death, they would not hesitate to fight for the miracle beyond the probability with their lives.

Generally speaking, the Empire will select males aged 14 to 18, who are in the adolescent stage, as recipients of Astartes surgery.

Compared with adults, humans at this stage have stronger plasticity, which can reduce the risk of surgery to a certain extent.

But because of the existence of life magnetic field and mind cultivation technology, the age limit is not so strict.

After receiving the encouragement of the original body, the twenty-two Krieg soldiers were put into the surgery.

.

The underground floor of the mechanical workshop.

After a long wait, Duker finally waited for the news that the surgery was successful.

At this moment, in the basement of the workshop, in this vast and empty experimental field, there are cages engraved with runes.

Dukel stood in front of the cage, blocked by a layer of special glass. Through the glass, the Primarch could clearly see the bodies of demons full of blasphemy and madness in the experimental field.

In each cage engraved with runes, there are no less than twenty Chaos Demons imprisoned. Just a rough glance, there are more than four hundred.

Gris and Cawl stood beside the Primarch at this time, and the two great sages were observing various parameters through the computer.

The Psychic Guards led by Efilar and Shivara were holding bolt guns with solemn expressions.

Dukel looked at the demons in the experimental field through the special glass.

For the first time, there was no disgust and murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at the demons, but full of joy.

Today, his first offspring is about to be born.

This vast experimental field was the playground he prepared for his offspring; and these hundreds of demons were his offspring's first toys.

On such a beautiful day, how could he not be happy?

"Your Highness, it's time to start."

Gris, who was setting parameters in the computer, reminded him.

"Let's start, let's not make him wait too long." Duker said with a smile.

As his voice fell, thick steam suddenly rose in the experimental site, and an elevator engraved with the imperial double-headed eagle slowly descended.

Standing in the elevator was a powerful warrior who was over 2.6 meters tall, holding a chainsaw sword and wearing gray-red power armor.

Seeing the appearance of this human warrior, the demons in the experimental site suddenly fell into greater madness.

They made twisted and weird roars, constantly colliding in the cage, hungry for the flesh and soul of this human warrior.

"Open a cage first."

Duker ordered Gris on the side.

As his voice fell, a cage was opened, and the demons who had been impatient for a long time filed out in an instant.

But facing the approach of the demons, the human warriors standing in the field did not make any moves, but looked up at Duker who was behind the special glass.

"Please open all the cages, great gene father, the power I inherited from you is far beyond what these poor demons can bear."

After hearing this, the Primarch laughed,

"That's right, that's how it should be!"

"Gris, open all the cages!"

Duker said with a smile.

"But, Your Highness," Gris showed a trace of embarrassment, "It is extremely dangerous for an Astartes to use only the chainsaw sword and face more than 20 Chaos Demons at the same time. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous if all of them are opened."

"You have never fought with Dukel, so you don't understand, Gris," Magnus, who was hanging on the waist of the Primarch, suddenly said at this time,

"For Dukel, the chainsaw sword is actually a burden. He carries it with him to enjoy the fighting process."

"My brother is the most powerful when he doesn't use any weapons."

"And as his offspring, it must be the same."

Magnus' tone was full of emotion.

Although he didn't want to admit this, as long as he reviewed the previous war, he could clearly draw this conclusion.

Dukel fought back and forth with him when using the chainsaw sword. Although he was cut with fifteen huge scars, he also persisted for a long time under the opponent's hands.

What is the opponent's record when he is unarmed?

Just look at the Keeper of Secrets, Fulgrim and Fateweaver.

The Keeper of Secrets had his head ripped out; Fulgrim was severely injured by a knee strike and became paralyzed; Fateweaver was beaten to death by several punches.

The strength of these three is not inferior to him, and Fulgrim is even stronger.

Duker looked at Magnus in surprise when he heard this. He had never revealed this to others, but he didn't expect that his brother would be keenly aware of it.
