Chapter 400 The Decision of the Holy Blood Angel

The Saturn Terminator A wasn't entirely unfamiliar to the Holy Blood Angels.

As descendants of Disanguiles, and former members of the Ninth Legion, they still retain the memory and heritage of the legendary equipment from the Legion era.

The armory of the Holy Blood Angels homeworld does not lack Saturn Terminator Armor that is still intact and usable.

These ancient suits of armor are housed deep within Fort Bal Angels, meticulously maintained by the technical priests, and each set is considered priceless.

However, these items are all precious relics from the Legion era, and they will not be used unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the Saturn Terminator Armor was an extremely rare piece of equipment during the Great Crusade era, and it even disappeared from the Empire at one point.

These Terminator armors, crafted by the most elite artisans at Saturn's Technological Consortium, each embody the technological essence of the Golden Age and are difficult to replicate even during the Great Expedition.

This also led to their extinction from the empire's military ranks at one time.

Although Vulcan revived its mass production, its output remained meager. In fact, after the Great Crusade, this powerful piece of equipment simply disappeared from the Astartes' equipment inventory, and the Empire could no longer produce it.

Most of the remaining Saturn Terminator Armor units have become Chapter relics, locked away in the most secret armories of each Chapter.

But now, Chen Xi has dug them out of the dust of history again and said that he wants to achieve mass production. How could this not excite Tycho Brahe?

Beneath his metal mask, his sharp eyes gleamed with an unbelievable light.

As a veteran who had experienced countless battles, he knew all too well the value of this equipment on the battlefield.

Just kidding. Even among the Blood Angels, not every company commander has ever touched a Terminator armor, let alone something as super rare as the Saturn Terminator armor.

Tycho Brahe clenched his fists instinctively, as if he could already see the warriors of the Holy Blood Angels clad in these legendary armors, invincible on the battlefield.

Therefore, after a brief consideration, Company Commander Tycho said to Chen Xi, "Sir Chen Xi, in light of the friendship between the Holy Blood Angels and Rostov, please allow me, on behalf of the Holy Blood Angels Chapter, to reserve a batch of Saturn Terminator Armor."

These equipment are of great significance to our warband; they not only enhance our combat capabilities but also allow us to rediscover the glory of the Legion era.

"Whatever the cost, as long as we can afford it, the Holy Blood Angels will have no objections!"

Company Commander Tycho straightened his back, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, and his eyes beneath the metal mask gleamed with fervent light.

Those eyes, which had witnessed countless battles, were now filled with anticipation, like those of a child longing for a gift.

"Any price? Can the Holy Blood Angels really make such a promise?" Chen Xi stared at Company Commander Tycho Brahe and posed this soul-searching question.

His gaze was piercing, as if it could penetrate the golden mask and look directly into Tycho Brahe's heart.

"Naturally, it's any price the Holy Blood Angels can pay." Tycho's voice was deep and firm, each word resounding.

He knew how outrageous his promise was, but he believed even Chapter Master Dante would agree to it. As one of the Chapter's most senior company commanders, he knew all too well the value of that equipment.

After all, the Saturn-type Terminator Armor might just be a rare piece of equipment for other ordinary chapters, but for newly formed chapters, they clearly understand just how terrifying this Terminator Armor is and that it should be used in a concentrated, organized manner.

Company Commander Tycho's thoughts drifted back to the ancient records in the chapter's archives, which detailed the astonishing performance of the Saturn Terminator A on the battlefield during the Legion era.

The reason for this is that the Saturn Terminator Armor has a teleportation coordinator that enables synchronized teleportation between the wearer and superior officers, allowing these powerful warriors to be transported into the battlefield more efficiently.

Not to mention the various powerful weapons equipped on the Saturn Terminator Armor, and its formidable defensive capabilities as a pinnacle of human protective technology.

Those meticulously crafted heavy disintegrators and disruption fists, combined with their unique thermal diffraction fields, are enough to strike fear into the hearts of any enemy.

In this increasingly chaotic era, having a batch of Saturn Terminator Armorers that can be deployed to battle at any time would be of paramount importance to the Holy Blood Angels!

Company Commander Tycho Brahe seemed to already see his soldiers, clad in these legendary armors, invincible on the battlefield.

However, in the face of Tycho's promise, Chen Xi simply shook his head and said to him, "Let's talk about this later. The Imperial Fist has also sent a representative. We'll discuss this issue after he arrives, so I won't have to repeat myself."

His tone was calm yet unquestionable, clearly indicating that he had already given it all a good idea.

Faced with Chen Xi's attitude, Company Commander Tycho did not dare to press him and could only nod silently, accepting the Saturn Terminator armor that Chen Xi had given him.

When his fingers touched the cold surface of the armor, he felt a profound weight spanning millennia, which strengthened his resolve to secure this equipment for the warband.

Subsequently, Tycho summoned Seth, the Chapter Leader of the Flesh-Tearers, and the new Chapter Leader of the Blood Knights, asking them about the Saturn Terminator Armor in order to learn more about the situation.

The previous Grand Master of the Blood Knights, Joel, died a glorious death aboard the Kherson III, and the current Grand Master is now the new Grand Master of the Amit.

However, when Tycho Brahe questioned him, Chapter Commander Seth only told him that Chen Xi did indeed have a large number of Saturn Terminator armors, so many that each chapter participating in this expedition was given one as a gift.

There is no doubt that Blood Knight and Flesh Ripper each have their own unique style.

The Blood Knight and the Flesh Tearer were also aware of what Chen Xi had said when he gifted the Saturn Terminator Armor.

Regiment Commander Amit explained the situation to Company Commander Tycho and expressed his concern about the dark future Chen Xi had described.

"In fact, before coming here, I had a meeting with Mephisto's chief think tank, and he also predicted that the Empire would face a dark and hopeless future, but there was still a glimmer of hope in the darkness." Tycho explained the situation to the two chapter commanders, recounting Mephisto's prophecy.

"If that's the case, then what Lord Chen Xi wanted to discuss with the representatives of the two founding battle groups is probably related to this dark future." When the commander of the Seth battle group heard what Company Commander Tycho said, he also showed great concern.

If it were only Chen Xi who predicted such a future, perhaps the leader of the Seth Warband wouldn't be so worried, but now that even the chief think tank of the Holy Blood Angels has said so, then the problem is serious.

"In any case, the Sons of Saint Gilles must prepare for this." Although Captain Tycho was also worried about this, he still said to the two chapter commanders, "Later, when the representative of the Imperial Fist arrives, I will have a meeting with him first."

As one of the founding chapters, we bear an even greater responsibility to the Empire! If the Empire is destined to face a dark future, then it is our duty to uphold hope for it!
