Chapter 341: Primarchs and Small Groups "In the Name of the Empire"
"Heh!"
At this time, Perturabo, who was standing not far away and crossed his hands in front of him, saw Leon's pretentious appearance and wanted to complain immediately, "Pretending."
Fortunately, Tinas Losrian, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, raised her hand and pulled the corner of Perturabo's clothes, which stopped Perturabo from really complaining.
Because the hearing of the primarch is not a joke.
Although there are tens of thousands of people in the gathering hall, any movement cannot escape the ears and eyes of the primarch.
Not to mention that the primarchs have psychic perception far beyond ordinary people.
The perception of the primarch does not work on the brothers. After all, if the primarchs can see through each other's minds, it would be a lot of "fun".
And Tinas, who was dressed mainly in blue and white, naturally knew this.
She didn't want the "son" she and Sui Yang raised together to speak out of turn and become enemies with Leon, who has grown up for a long time and has considerable power.
At the same time, as the queen of the elves, Tinas was the most eye-catching member of the crowd.
Tall figure, delicate appearance, and long silver hair
The whole person even had a "halo" effect, just like a fairy in mythology.
The most important thing is that standing next to Tinas is not only Perturabo, but also Mortarion and Corax.
Mortarion is a little taller than ordinary primarchs, about five meters and three meters tall.
Corax is exactly five meters tall, and his appearance can also be ranked in the top five among all brothers.
However, Perturabo, Mortarion and Corax are all primarchs who don't like to talk or communicate with outsiders.
So except Tinas, everyone standing near these three can feel an inexplicable depressing atmosphere.
There is no way, if the primarch is like Guilliman, it would be okay if he seems approachable.
But facing the "giant" who likes to keep a straight face and has an average height of about five meters, no matter how strong the psychological quality of officers and generals is, they will feel very stressed.
This also includes the "uncanny valley effect".
In response, Tinas just flashed a bitter smile.
Since she accepted Sui Yang's commission to help take care of Mortarion, Corax, and Perturabo, she has treated them wholeheartedly and taught them with all her heart.
Tinas has never been a mother, but she is not like ordinary mothers. She hopes that her sons will stand out.
After all, the identity of the Primarch is already the most outstanding representative in the empire.
Therefore, Tinas only hopes that Mortarion, Corax and Perturabo will have less open and secret struggles with their brothers and live well.
Moreover, not only Tinas, but Athena in ancient Greek white dress and Hera in modern dress are also the "focus" of everyone's attention.
Whether it is the figure or the aura, these two deserve the word "goddess".
However, Hera just sat in the corner "alone" and focused on drinking.
And Athena talked with generals and officials.
Although the word "god" has become extremely common under Sui Yang's influence, and there is no fear at all, the generals and officials are still very interested in the past history.
Athena is willing to communicate with people, so they are naturally polite, and then ask which myths and legends are true and which are false.
"Burp."
At this time, Dorne, who was born with white hair, couldn't help but burp because he drank too much carbonated drinks.
?
This made Vulcan standing beside Dorne stunned, and whispered:
"Why don't you drink?"
"Hey"
Dorne handed the special water cup to a waiter. After seeing the waiter leave with the bucket-like water cup in both hands, he sighed:
"Drinking is not good and harmful to the body. Besides, after the ceremony, I have to go back to Tyrela to govern.
I can't delay things."
Drinking is harmful to the body? ?
Vulcan was even more confused after hearing Dorne's answer.
Although Vulkan doesn't like drinking, it seems that no matter how much they drink, they won't get drunk, let alone hurt their bodies, given their primarch's constitution.
In fact, Dorne is "controlled by others".
As Aoi, whose power and status are second only to Dorne in Terilla, asked Dorne not to use drinking as an excuse, and to let her take care of all political affairs temporarily.
So Dorne had to use carbonated drinks to relieve his sorrow.
But after Vulkan, who knew part of the truth, reacted, he always felt that Dorne seemed to be "enjoying it"?
Forget it.
Vulkan was too lazy to pay attention to his brother's emotional entanglement.
He was more concerned about his father's speech at the subsequent imperial ceremony and whether there would be reports of special situations on the communication channel.
"Hey! Brother!"
Just as Vulkan wanted to turn around and taste some food, Riemann, who was drunk but sober, took the initiative to approach.
Moreover, Riemann raised his arms in a very familiar manner, and linked shoulders with Vulcan and Dorn, saying:
"We have to drink more today! Father's founding of the empire is a turning point for mankind!
You should know that today in the textbook is a must-test point, just thinking about it makes me happy! Hahahaha!"
"."
Dorn was very uncomfortable with the sudden closeness.
Vulcan was fine, because he and Riemann had fought together in the Halo universe, and their relationship was pretty good.
But Dorn had rarely seen Riemann from beginning to end, and today should be the first time they had long-term contact.
Then.
"Brother." Dorn raised his hand to move Riemann's left arm away, then kept three steps away from him, and said bluntly:
"You smell of alcohol. I don't want my subordinates to tell me that drinking has ruined my life when I go back."
"Being restrained by your subordinates? You can't do that!"
Riemann was still smiling, not angry at Dorn's deliberate distance.
Then the primarch, who seemed to have a bold and far-fetched temperament, looked around and asked Dorn and Vulkan:
"I see that all the brothers are here, but the two newly picked up brothers by my father are missing. Where are they?"
"You mean Alpharius and Omegan?"
Vulcan took over.
"Yes, those two brothers who look exactly the same." Riemann nodded.
"I don't know." Vulcan shrugged and said:
"When they were little, they liked to play hide-and-seek, or they would always stay with their father.
Dr. Ashford should have some clues, or it might be Perturabo. After all, it was Perturabo who brought Alpharius and Omegan back to his father. "
After Vulcan finished speaking, he turned his attention to Perturabo, who was not far away.
Perturabo seemed to have heard Vulkan's words, and turned his attention to Vulcan, Dorn and Riemann.
See this.
Riemann shuddered deliberately and joked:
"I don't want to talk to a brother who is obviously very young, but looks like an antique. Look at his expression. Hey, he looks like a shit."
With that said, Riemann looked at Mortarion and Corax again and continued:
"The two brothers next to me are much better than that bastard, at least they don't look so smelly!"
? !
These words immediately made Perturabo "bristle with rage."
Although Perturabo's appearance is not as handsome as his brothers, and his muscles are too strong, and he still looks more "fat-packed", but he does not look "stinky" like Riemann said.
However, Perturabo did not need Tinas's persuasion again. He just glared at Riemann, then left the party hall and rushed to the Palace Square in advance.
It seems that out of sight is out of mind.
Anyway, under the joint teaching of Tinas and Sui Yang, Perturabo's original stubborn character has already restrained a lot.
In addition, when Perturabo unified the "War Machine" universe, he was already resistant to the Space Wolves, and now he saw with his own eyes that Riemann was indeed as licentious as rumored.
To put it bluntly, it is a lack of manners and literacy.
This made Perturabo believe that if he had a dispute with Riemann, he would really be degrading himself.
What's more, after half past six, their original body and the Astartes selected from each legion will also go to the palace square to prepare to formally participate in the ceremony.
So there is nothing wrong with leaving first.
As Perturabo walked out of the party hall, Mortarion and Corax followed closely behind.
The two primarchs themselves were not good at talking, and they were even less willing to discuss politics with others, so they also chose to rush to the Palace Square in advance.
As for the depth of Riemann's gaze, it is not as superficial as imagined.
All the actions just now were purely because Riemann "sacrificed" his own image to secretly observe the reactions of his brothers.
At the same time, he also learned more about the clique among brothers.
After the ceremony was over, Riemann was going to take some time to report to his father privately.
soon.
All thirteen primarchs left the gathering hall and came to the vast palace square.
(Including Alpharius and Omegon, there are fifteen Primarchs of Atlas)
——
View of Palace Square from above.
I saw the thirteen legions that had been established, with a thousand adult and minor Astartes mobilized, and they were neatly arranged at the northern end of the square.
However, Perturabo's Iron Warriors Legion, even though they are equipped with Titanium Type I power armor, is much shorter and thinner than other legions in terms of height and physique.
There was no way, who allowed Perturabo to be the thirteenth smallest Primarch before the arrival of Alpharius Omegon.
As a result, it was only last year that the gene seeds began to be gradually cultivated, and adaptors were searched among the surviving humans of "War Machine" and then implanted.
Therefore, the average age of the Iron Warriors is only about fifteen years old.
On the other hand, the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, and Dark Angels, the first legions established, have been able to screen out a large number of adult Astartes.
If one compares the tallest Iron Warrior with the shortest Ultramarine, there is still a clear gap between the two sides.
In the center of the square, there is a giant platform that has been built.
Behind the pulpit, there are giant statues of fifteen Primarchs.
At the same time, fifteen primarchs wearing formal attire of their own style, with carefully styled hair and beards, were standing on the podium.
Their father, the Emperor of Mankind, also stood at the forefront of the Primarchs.
"empire.!!"
"Humanity.!!"
Moreover, there was already a sea of people outside the square.
The spontaneous shouts of the residents echoed throughout the palace area and streets.
At this time, there are only a few minutes left before the scheduled opening of the Imperial Ceremony.
The residents of the empire who were well fed, drunk, and rested naturally gathered in the palace square.
And many local residents, as well as tourists from other universes, did not spend time in the entertainment area. Instead, they brought their own food and sleeping bags and came to the area near the square early.
The purpose is to see the Emperor of Mankind, the Primarchs and the Astartes up close.
You should know that with the cooperation of Atlas's News Department, Propaganda Department and other departments, in addition to the projects that are being studied and will be studied soon, most of the weapons and equipment and combat units in service can be said to be veritable "Internet celebrities".
As long as there are tags related to " # Emperor", " # Primarch", and " # Astartes" on the Internet, the traffic is absolutely guaranteed.
In the comment area of such pictures, videos and hotly discussed posts, the most likes are "I have to smoke more! I have a share of the armor on the Astartes!",
"Just spend more! Hahaha, anyway, Atlas' products are inexpensive, not expensive, and easy to use!" Such words.
Seeing that "their" weapons and equipment are sophisticated and the soldiers are extremely brave, the residents naturally have a strong sense of belonging and security to Atlas and the human empire.
When they really saw the giant-like Primarch and the Emperor of Mankind walking up to the podium, the residents immediately shouted from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time.
A large number of holographic screens appeared around the palace square and between various areas.
At the same time, the News Department and the Propaganda Department temporarily requisitioned all the network platforms under Atlas and switched all the live broadcast channels to the podium in the center of the square.
The content presented on the live broadcast screen first swept through the solemn Primarchs one by one.
Then, the camera gradually zoomed in
Zoomed in
and finally locked on Sui Yang.
Sui Yang also maintained a solemn expression.
After the camera locked, he took a deep breath and used his psychic power to cover the outline of his body with a soft light of light gold.
And in an echoing tone, he spoke:
"Residents living in the main universe and other universes! Today is a special day!
The disputes, infighting, and chaos that have accompanied us humans for several or even dozens of centuries will end completely on this day.
In the past, whether in the main universe or other universes, we have more or less experienced the invasion and massacre of alien races!
They regard us humans as a weak and incompetent race that can be easily destroyed.
But the fact is that we humans have defeated them!
In the future, we may.
No, it is certain You will encounter more alien races.
There may be some of them who are kind and seek peace, but most of them are ugly barbarians!
So from today!
We will save more compatriots from alien invasion in the name of the human empire!
Our human footprints should not only set foot on the sea of stars, but also control the multiverse!
For humanity!
For the empire! "
" For humanity! !"
" For the empire! !"
As Sui Yang's voice fell, all the Primarchs and Astartes present responded in unison.
The gathered residents also echoed excitedly.
Moreover, Sui Yang's golden radiance completely enveloped the imperial palace and was presented to all compatriots through live broadcast.
