Warhammer: The Beginning is the Crisis of Annihilation Chapter 276

  Chapter 276 Vulkan who casts the crown (subscribe)

   An angry Seth stands behind Dante.

   With red eyes, he watched the departure of the Chapter Leader of the Blood Angels.

  The cherubs follow behind Dante.

  Mechanical wings are waving in the air.

  The sound from the anti-gravity arrayer echoed in Seth's extraordinary keen senses, becoming weaker and weaker.

   When they disappeared completely, Dante also left the place where they gathered.

   Seth clenched his fist tightly, but soon let it go again, his eyes showed a trace of decadence and bewilderment.

  He has no right to blame Dante, all this is his own fault.

   For a long time, Seth believed he was on the right track.

  Only he is the one who is absolutely loyal to the archangel and the empire.

  Those who are tempted by Guilliman's small favors, all deviate from the way of the holy blood

   Now, it's all smashed to pieces.

   The disappointment and confusion in the eyes of the Archangel was the biggest blow to Seth.

  In the end, I was the one who deviated the farthest from the way of the Holy Blood and the teachings of Sanguinius.

  His questioning and anger towards Dante just showed his inner fear.

  During this time, he has been afraid to go to see the archangel alone like the representatives of other battle groups.

   But he knew that it was impossible to avoid this matter forever, and one day, he had to face the reality.

  He will suffer the consequences of his old folly.

   Whatever punishment the Archangel sends, he will accept it.

   The highest spire of the Holy Blood is the residence of Sanguinius.

  The decoration here is extremely luxurious, no less than those so-called ancient emperors.

  The entire hall was made pure black.

  The walls, ceiling, and floor are all completely covered with carved black marble.

  These numerous, finely carved blocks all come from the same black rough.

   The glyph depicts the heroes of the Holy Blood Legion who once fought **** battles for mankind holding weapons and wearing armor.

   They are the great guardians of humanity.

   But under the light of the fire, the pitch-black relief looks evil and hideous.

  The swaying firelight endows those sculptures with dark and uncertain expressions.

   Sanguinius sits on his throne.

  The huge white wings have been retracted.

   He gripped his arcane spear with one hand, resting on the armrest of the throne with the other.

   Sitting there like a cold sculpture.

  After issuing the convening order, many holy blood descendants quickly arrived according to the scheduled time.

   Waiting for the last participant to arrive, the blood slave walked up to the identity of the archangel and bowed slightly.

   "My lord, everyone has been summoned."

   Sanguinius, who was sitting on the throne, nodded, looking around at the many sub-groups separated from the former legion.

  During these ten thousand years, there have been many military build-ups.

  The number of subgroups of the Blood Angels has also expanded a lot.

  The huge hall was packed to the brim with representatives of many battle groups.

  They stared at Sanguinius on the throne with sincere eyes.

  Even though the light is not very good, the hall is surrounded by dark reliefs.

  Sanguinius is still radiant, with a touch of melancholy on that holy and perfect face, just like the angels in human's beautiful imagination, grieving for the suffering of all beings.

  Wait until many representatives of the battle group gathered in the hall, Sanguinius threw out a shocking news.

   "The Regent of the Empire will hold a coronation ceremony on the Emperor's birthday."

  One stone stirs up waves.

  Countless people were astonished by this news, and the heroes who had experienced countless **** battles could hardly maintain their inner peace at this time.

  Is the Emperor's rule about to be replaced?

  As the Chapter Leader of the Flesh Tearers Chapter, Seth had an impulse in his heart and shouted at those people.

   Look, I'm not wrong.

  Guilliman just had an idea about the position of the Emperor.

  He can change the law, and he can also do something to the emperor's creation?

  When the army, law, politics, and economy are all under his control, why can't he replace the original position of the emperor?

  However, when he saw the calm face of the archangel, there was no change.

  Seth also understood the inner thoughts of the archangel.

  He suppressed his impulse and did not speak out.

   Archangels have no anger at all.

   means that he doesn't really care about it, and he won't stop Guilliman from doing something like that.

  As Seth guessed.

  The next moment, Sanguinius stretched out his hand, motioning the representatives of the many battle groups to quiet down.

"This is my father's will, my brother, the Primarch of the Ultramarines - Guilliman will become the new emperor of the empire, the new lord of mankind. Son of Baal, all who flow through my blood must be loyal to the new emperor, Fight for him. The Space Wolves, the Salamanders, the Raven Guard and many more will be summoned by the Primarch they belong to. Each Primarch will speak the same words and prepare for the arrival of the new Emperor , the Blood Angels and all the Blood Sons will go to Terra to participate in the enthronement ceremony and swear allegiance to the new emperor."

   "You don't need to object, because this is not a suggestion, but an order. Disloyalty to the new emperor is disloyalty to the empire, and disloyalty to the emperor will be punished and wiped out by us."

  As soon as these words came out, many battle groups looked at me and I looked at you on behalf of you, but they were speechless.

  The Archangels have said such things.

  Whoever stands up to oppose is the target of public criticism.

  Openly rebelling against your own genetic father in order to oppose the Guilliman hierarchy?

   But what is the purpose of doing that? ?

   To be loyal to the Emperor, to be loyal to the Empire.

   But the problem is that the Emperor and the Primarchs who participated in the founding of the Empire also agreed to such a thing.

  Seth stood in the crowd and didn't make a sound.

  After the preparation meeting is over, go to upgrade the original casting.

  After Guilliman ascended the throne.

  The age of the emperor is really over.

   Either follow the old era and disappear into the long river of history.

   Either embrace change, there is no third way.

  Before the battle of Prospero, Seth would not hesitate to choose the first option.

  I think that only in this way can I live up to the blood of Sanguinius in my body.

   But now, he knew that the archangel supported Guilliman.

  Guilliman's becoming the new emperor is estimated to have already been acquiesced by many primarchs and emperors.

  All the previous events were just a foreshadowing for his ascension to the throne.

  Everything will usher in unprecedented changes.

  Mankind will usher in a new era

   Sanguinius nodded when he saw that everyone looked at each other, but did not object publicly.

  This matter needs to give them a little time to digest.

  Presumably, they must be able to think clearly.

  Guilliman ruling the empire is the best choice for mankind.

   After talking about Guilliman's accession to the throne, Sanguinius talked about another matter.

   That is the meeting of the Blood Angels, Space Wolves, and Dark Angels.

  The rendezvous of the three-party fleet is because two Primarchs are needed to bring back Angron who was thrown into the real universe.

  A Primarch brings the captive Traitor Primarch back to Terra.

  Dante and several imperial heroes were selected into Sanguinius' team as followers when welcoming the other brothers.

   This is a great honor.

   Being able to attend the gathering of the three Primarchs is the greatest affirmation of the loyalty of these people.

   Seth couldn't help being a little jealous, if he had completed the original casting upgrade earlier.

   Among these people, there may be a place for yourself.

   It's a pity that now, he can only watch others accept the honor, but he can only hide on the edge with the fragmented Flesh Tearers.

   It all stems from his stupidity.

  Three extremely magnificent fleets meet at the edge of a galaxy according to the designated order.

   Their arrival once caused local shock.

  The governor of the planet and the government of the galaxy continue to send inquiries.

  They don't know why such a huge fleet appeared in the galaxy.

  The current situation of each planet in the galaxy is very stable, and there are no problems.

  Nor did they ask the Empire for help.

  The sudden appearance of such a huge legion made them feel a little nervous.

  After the three gene primarchs gave a simple explanation for this, they ignored it.

  After all, they won't stay long.

   The meeting takes place in the Stone Keep of the Dark Angels Chapter.

  Dante asked the technical priest to maintain and wax his armor, to show the spirit of the Son of Blood as much as possible.

   Wearing brand-new armor, Dante followed his genetic father to the Stone Fortress.

  The huge megalithic fortress is no less than the Holy Blood.

  Protected by a huge **** fleet, countless long guns and short cannons stand on the surface of the cold void.

  The majestic steel ridge is attached to the industrial city, forming a mobile fortress that can provide war equipment by itself.

   This is the mainstream trend of the imperial army.

  Each Imperial unit will have deep space combat capabilities far from the Empire.

  According to the plan of Terra Military Affairs Department, the army of the Human Empire will enter a new stage in the next few years.

  It can be separated from the empire for hundreds or even thousands of years to carry out pioneering operations in the territory far away from the empire.

   In the true sense, where the Empire's double eagle flag is located, it is all human territory.

   The meeting scene of the Trinity is very exciting.

  Many narrators considered it a great moment.

  In the tens of thousands of years of the empire, today is the first time that the three Primarchs have gathered together.

   It is a pity for these narrators that the three original bodies did not express any reflections on this.

  The Primarchs didn't even stay long in public.

   After meeting, we went to the secret meeting room.

   After an hour and a half, they came out from inside.

  Then, they announced their decision to everyone, that is, the dark angel Ryan will be responsible for bringing Magnus and Curze back to Terra.

  Space Wolves and Blood Angels will change course.

  With the announcement of their decision, the cage where Magnus was held was moved to the Stone Fortress.

  After the meeting, the three fleets sailed to their respective missions without stopping.

  They all have to rush back to the solar system before the enthronement ceremony.

   Nocturne Star.

   This is the home of salamanders.

   On the surface of Nocturne star stands a huge group of doomsday volcanoes.

  The volcano inside is active all year round and will erupt from time to time.

  According to the investigation of the Mechanicus, this is because the doomsday volcanoes are located at the junction of the continental plates, and they are squeezed with the movement of the plates, bringing about volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

  But the people of Nocturne star stubbornly believe that this is the power of the doomsday volcanoes, the wrath of the fire dragon hidden in it.

   There will definitely be arrogant people who believe that the latter statement is a manifestation of ignorance and superstition.

   However, neither claim is at fault.

  The former is based on rational explanations and research results of the real universe.

  The latter is a manifestation based on the disordered power of the subspace.

  The Dragon Soul of Nocturne is real.

  Of course being real and having a real shape are two concepts.

  The Soul of Fire Dragon is a symbolic concept formed by the beliefs of the Nocturne stars.

   Salamander priests will gain power from the symbol of the fire dragon, so that they can use the power of ether more safely and ensure that they will not be poisoned by the subspace.

  The people of Nocturne have mixed feelings about the Doom Volcanoes.

  For this source of disaster, they fear and awe at it at the same time.

   Salamander warriors need to go to the Doomsday Volcanoes to complete the trials before officially undergoing genetic modification.

  Of course, they generally stay on the outskirts of the Doomsday Volcanoes to complete their trials.

  In the volcanic group, the high temperature and toxic gas brought by many volcanic eruptions are beyond their ability to bear.

  Even veterans who have completed genetic modification, even with the protection of armor, dare not walk inside easily.

   But now, the sound of metal beating came from the depths of the Doomsday Volcanoes.

  The sound is dull and loud, echoing in the volcanoes.

  A figure in green armor was active in the crater of the largest volcano in the Doomsday Volcanoes.

  He held a giant hammer and struck a piece of red-hot metal.

  The solid metal changed shape at will under his hands.

  If you look closer, you can see that this figure is extremely tall, with knotted muscles, and wearing a huge and heavy armor.

  Beside this giant, there are also seven smaller giants who also wear armor.

   They watched every move of the giant, silent, standing aside, silent like a sculpture.

  The seven smaller giants are the seven captains of the Salamanders.

  Before Vulkan arrived at Nocturne, the world was already ruled by seven families.

  With the rise of Vulcan, these seven families were soon unified by Vulcan.

  After the arrival of the emperor, Vulkan kept this tradition and formed a management system of seven major family structures within the legion.

   Highly preserved relationship between salamanders and mortal blood relatives.

   Salamander became one of the most relatable legions after its establishment, which is also closely related to this point.

  The seven company commanders watched Vulkan's every move.

   Vulkan has been here since his return a year ago, casting some sort of crown.

   Did not answer the cry of any of the heirs.

  They can only stand here, waiting for the completion of the work in Vulkan's hands.

   Today's Vulkan is dark-skinned, covered with green and red stripes.

  One eye is scarlet, but the other eye has a green light unique to orcs.

  In the beast war, Vulkan and the orc warlord died together.

   After an earth-shattering battle, two huge creatures were sent into the energy pile together.

  Because of this, the red eyes of Vulcan, who was resurrected again, changed into green eyes.

  Vulkan silently swung the sledgehammer, striking the metal in front of him.

   As time passed, the forging in his hands gradually became perfect.

  It is an extremely delicate golden eagle laurel crown with complex textures.

   With the final hammer falling, Vulkan completed his work.

   When he raised the crown, a golden sun shot out from the gray sky, covering the crown and the Primarch.

   "Now there is only one job left, and that is to bring you to your master." Vulkan looked at the crown in his hand reflecting the dazzling brilliance in the sun, and showed a satisfied smile.

   It took him a year of hard work, and the finished product can be said to be flawless.

  He turned to look at the seven heirs.

   After a moment of silence, he said: "Go get ready, I'm going to Terra."
