My Desperate Journey in 40k

Wang Ming did not continue to chase them at that time. Although the fleet could easily catch up with them, it was meaningless. Wang Ming and the traversers knew that these short people defined as aliens by the Empire were actually descendants of the Human Federation. They were also human beings. Since they were unwilling to communicate with the traversers' fleet, then forget it. Their focus now was to rush back to Terra, not to communicate with these short space people who jumped up and slapped their knees.

However, Wang Ming was still very interested in them. He decided to find these descendants of the Human Federation to have a good exchange with them when he had the chance. After all, they were all human beings, and he also wanted to see if the dwarves had any technology worth using.

After three years of sailing, the fleet finally returned to Terra. On this day, all the imperial civilians in the Terra Imperial Palace area were cheering. The news of Leman Russ's return had been spread to Terra. People cheered for the return of the God-Emperor's offspring to the Empire, and they shouted that this was a miracle of the God-Emperor.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Ming also held a military parade on Terra. The 21st Legion, together with the Imperial Fists that had returned to Terra, launched a military parade on the sacred street in front of the palace. The scene of this military parade was very grand. Wang Ming even ordered several cruisers to start their anti-gravity engines and mass stabilizers and drive several circles above the palace. He knew that ever since the Khorne army descended on Terra, the people of Terra had been living in a sense of unease.

In their hearts, Terra is the most sacred and safest place in the entire galaxy, but after the Second Battle of Terra, people's thoughts were shaken. Demons descended on Terra, and countless people in the palace district saw those demons at that time. Even though the law enforcers of the Ministry of Justice tried their best to maintain stability, this sense of unease still spread on Terra like a virus.

This military parade was initiated by Wang Ming in order to ease the uneasiness of the people of Terra. On that day, people in the Palace District saw all kinds of equipment of the 21st Legion, as well as mountains and seas of Star Travelers, and warships covering the sky. In comparison, the military parade of the Imperial Fists was like a militia organization versus a professional war group.

On that day, the people in the Imperial Palace District also saw the two Primarchs. Wang Ming and Leman Russ also appeared at the parade. It is worth mentioning that the Space Wolves who arrived at Terra at an unknown time obviously received that star message.

387. Chapter 384 Military Parade and Speech

387.

"Is this the Earth of this era..."

Zhou Heng looked at the crowd cheering for them, and for a moment he felt as if he were in another world. This scene, which seemed to appear in a medieval movie, felt very strange to the soldiers of this federal era.

"This is what humans are like now. How do you feel about it?"

Wang Ming looked at Zhou Heng as he adjusted his power armor. Many decorations in ancient Chinese style were added to this golden power armor. This was Wang Ming's ceremonial armor, which had been made before. However, due to the consumable nature of his power armor, Wang Ming was reluctant to use his favorite power armor.

"Just like the people in the Middle Ages who only had faith left..."

Zhou Heng was silent for a while, then spoke to Wang Ming, his words revealing a sense of sadness. He thought of the Earth in the era of the Human Federation, the prosperous hive cities full of technology and the ecological environment forcibly protected by various technologies. There were also many native creatures on the Earth at that time. He still remembered his past on Earth.

The world is full of beautiful natural scenery and various high-tech nests. People can sit on the beach and watch the sun set into the sea level in the distance. They don't have to worry about their own lives. As the mother planet of mankind, the personal welfare benefits on Earth were extremely good. Moreover, the fact that they could live on Earth proved their identity. They were either locals or wealthy aliens who came to settle here. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their happiness index was very high compared to other worlds.

But what about the Earth now? The ocean has turned into a basin bottom, and the large residential cities that the Federation originally spent a lot of manpower and resources to build have become dirty and messy places. For Zhou Heng, this is a great sorrow.

"There is no other way. Humans always need hope, no matter what era it is. Faith cannot save humans, but it can make them stable, even if the way of stability is not what people want."

Wang Ming looked at the dejected Zhou Heng and said to him helplessly that faith is the most important thing in this era. No matter what, you must firmly believe in the Lord of Mankind, otherwise those evil gods may come after you.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's just watch the military parade. I've arranged a performance for you. Get ready."

Wang Ming looked at Zhou Heng who was a little depressed. He patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and walked towards the parade venue. He and Leman Russ must attend the parade. This was the best way to give the people of Terra a sense of security.

The parade ground was prepared very quickly, and the law enforcers quickly separated the crowd on the street. As the crowd on the street was separated, a regular sound of footsteps was heard on the huge street. People looked in the direction of the footsteps, and saw that it was a neat formation of mortal auxiliary troops. They marched neatly in the goose step taught by Casatos, and walked slowly on the street. People looked at this neat army and they cheered loudly. They knew who these people were. They all had the emblem of the 21st Legion on their armor. They were the mortal auxiliary troops of the 21st Legion.

Their footsteps were in unison, and the footsteps of a hundred thousand people merged into one sound. This sound was shocking enough, and their uniform footsteps even drowned out the cheers of the people.

The infantry phalanxes quickly walked through the streets, and following them were huge armored vehicles, various tanks of the Leman Russ series, super-heavy tanks, and those human federal standard armored units from the Federation era. These steel behemoths made people cheer louder and louder, and people looked at the armored forces of the empire excitedly.

In the martial human empire, these steel behemoths are the existences that make people feel the safest. Behind those steel behemoths are the Star Travelers who form a square formation and advance forward. Their silver power armor with gold edges sparkles under the reflection of various lights. People look at these angels of the Emperor, they praise the angels of the God-Emperor, and some excited believers of the state religion are even about to faint from excitement.

When Wang Ming and Leman Russ appeared in the middle of the team, the believers of the state religion finally fainted. They were so excited. They saw with their own eyes the Son of God-Emperor walking on earth in the most sacred palace area of ​​Terra. How sacred and glorious it was.

The recorders looked at the parade ground enthusiastically, and the data tablets in their hands were almost thrown away by them. Some fanatical recorders even set up their drawing boards and began to paint quickly.

Behind Wang Ming were the armored vehicles of various Astartes Legions, and behind them were the Knights and Titans of the Empire. The Knights had no space problem walking on the street, as this huge street was originally built for pilgrimages. However, the same could not be said for the Titans. Only one Titan participated in the parade, and it was a huge plunder-class Titan. People looked at the divine machine, and the members of the Mechanicus in the crowd began to praise the greatness of Ohm Messiah.

After the Titan passed by, the 21st Legion's dreadnoughts also appeared. There were a lot of these dreadnoughts, most of which were cast iron dreadnoughts, and there were some other dreadnoughts. These dreadnoughts were used for military parades. After all, it was unacceptable for such a large legion to have no dreadnoughts at all. However, there was a special one among these dreadnoughts, that was a Leviathan dreadnought, and the driver was Wu Xuan. This guy started to make trouble again. Other time travelers entered some more "comfortable" dreadnoughts, but this guy went the other way and entered the Leviathan.

People praised these "veterans" who fought for the empire. Even the Imperial Fists who reviewed the troops with the time travelers were amazed at the large number of ancient and sacred warriors in the Star Traveler Legion. In fact, they did not know that these fearless warriors were the time travelers who were stuffed into the scene.

"The loyal people of the Empire."

Wang Ming looked at the cheering people and suddenly raised one of his hands. In an instant, everyone’s cheering stopped. They looked at Wang Ming devoutly, expecting the Primarch to speak his great words.

"Loyal citizens of the Empire, I know that you all feel uneasy after the war in the Imperial Palace District."

Wang Ming's words directly pointed out the theme of the matter. People looked at Wang Ming. They listened to his words and were suddenly shocked. The high lords who were watching the military parade also felt nervous. They were afraid that Wang Ming's words would arouse people's fear again. Although this matter had been suppressed, the empire had paid a lot, and they didn't want to see another riot like the one before.

"Don't say you don't have this feeling. I know you are worried that the most sacred world of mankind will be attacked by heretics again, but so what? You should have seen at the time that those monsters are not immortal. They can also be killed. This is Terra, the home planet of mankind. If the next war comes here, are you willing to let Terra be attacked?"

Wang Ming looked at the civilians. He could clearly see the fear on people's faces. He knew that it was his words that aroused their memories of the war. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Those who were still alive in Terra today were humans without any problems. Those gene stealers and chaos cults had almost died out under the cleansing of the time travelers. The Ministry of Justice and the Inquisitors would clean up later. He did not need to worry about people's beliefs.

"But...but sir, we are not soldiers, nor are we demigods. We are mortals. It is impossible for us to fight those monsters. We cannot defeat them."

Just after Wang Ming finished speaking, a girl with golden hair suddenly walked to the front of the crowd. She looked into Wang Ming's golden eyes, and using her superb acting skills acquired over the past 30,000 years, she spoke to Wang Ming in a trembling voice, just like an ordinary mortal girl.

Wang Ming looked at the girl and smiled slightly. He knew this girl. This was Edwi, the girl he had assigned the task to. There was not much hope in asking her to fight, but this kind of task was still very easy for her to carry out.

"No, child, things are not as you think. You can kill those monsters with knives, guns, and your own lives. When the Great Rift opened, my father protected each and every one of you, and you should protect him now. You are not a burden to the Empire, but a human being. Every human has the ability and obligation to protect Terra. Are you willing to hide in a dark corner and watch those monsters kill human warriors, and then kill you?"

Wang Ming looked at Edwi. He walked in front of her and looked at Edwi, who was acting as a frail girl and whose legs were almost limp in front of the Primarch. Wang Ming spoke these words to her. His voice was not loud, but it was picked up by the microphone on Wang Ming's neck. All over Terra, including humans who were paying attention to the military parade, could hear his words.

"I won't accept this! How can I accept that those monsters walk in the most sacred place for mankind! I will fight! No matter where they appear! They will die! I will kill them all!"

At this moment, a man in the crowd suddenly waved his arms and shouted loudly to Wang Ming. Wang Ming did not know this man. This was not the person he arranged, but an ordinary imperial civilian. There was a little girl sitting on his shoulder, who should be his daughter.

What Wang Ming didn't know was that he actually had a son, but after the outbreak of the Second Terra War, his son and his wife were killed by the cultists, and their bodies were taken up by the cultists for sacrifice. In order to protect his daughter at the time, he could do nothing. He could only hide in a looted house and cover his daughter's crying mouth. He watched his son and wife die at the hands of the cultists.

He had a gun in his hand at the time, but he did not go out to save his son and wife. On the one hand, it was because of his daughter, and on the other hand, it was because he did not have the courage to fight. You know, there were only two cultists at the time, two severely malnourished bottom-nest trash who only had tattered machetes.

He regretted it later and wanted to commit suicide, but when he saw his young daughter, he gave up the idea more than once. Wang Ming's words today stimulated him.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Kill those monsters and heretics! We must protect Terra! Protect the God-Emperor!"

People's emotions were instantly aroused by this man. They shouted loudly that the Empire did not ban guns. Almost everyone in the hive city would get themselves a gun for self-defense. Even if they were a group of guerrillas, if they resisted in the war, they might be able to hold on until they were rescued by the Imperial troops. At least this was better than being slaughtered. In war, everyone's life was fragile. The Imperial army could not protect everyone. People had to fight for their own survival.

"For the Emperor! Fight! You will become heroes who protect the Emperor!"

Wang Ming looked at those people and shouted at them, although this method would allow civilians to fight directly against demons and cultists, in this desperate universe, only this way could they survive longer. Resistance and being slaughtered are two different meanings. Instead of being killed as a sacrifice by cultists, it is better to make those who want to kill you pay the price before you die.

Wang Ming's words made the crowd boil, and the High Lords also slowly breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that they were afraid that this Primarch would do something, which would make them deal with more things. You know, most High Lords are usually exhausted to death.

After the speech, the military parade was still going on. A large number of troops were reviewed, and planes of various types flew over the parade ground. The human beings of Terra finally got rid of that feeling of uneasiness. They now knew that they could protect the God-Emperor and Terra. The God-Emperor protected them when the Great Rift opened up, and now they must protect the God-Emperor with their own lives.

As a cruiser anchored in the sky above the parade ground, the crowd's emotions reached a peak. Looking at the giant ship in the sky, they felt the power of the 21st Legion. They believed that this legion could guard the Empire, protect humanity and Terra. The uneasiness in Terra was finally alleviated. People had the courage to fight the enemy because they knew that they were on the home planet of humanity and they had no way of retreat.

"Behind us is the God-Emperor, under our feet is Terra. Everything we have is here, everything humanity has is here, and we must protect him."

This is the most common phrase spoken by missionaries on Terra now. At the same time, the First Engineer Regiment of the Time Travelers has also gone to various places on Terra. They need to work with the Imperial Fists to reinforce Terra's defenses.

Wang Ming and Leman Russ also went to the throne room of the palace. They needed to see their father. It is worth mentioning that Leman Russ went to see his own children, and Bjorn finally saw his father's return.

388. Chapter 385 The Lost Human World

388.

In front of the throne room, Wang Ming, Leman Russ and Zhou Heng looked at the huge door. They walked in under the guidance of a royal guard. Inside was the core of the empire. The most important place in this empire was the golden throne where the emperor had sat for ten thousand years.

"Don't look directly at your majesty."

The Imperial Guard who was in charge of leading the group looked at Zhou Heng. He did not understand why the Emperor wanted to see this mortal, but as a Imperial Guard protecting humanity, he still kindly reminded Zhou Heng that mortals would go blind if they looked directly at the Emperor's terrifying psychic light.

Zhou Heng looked at the imperial guards and smiled helplessly. He was not a so-called mortal. He was a weapon of the Federation and one of the few remaining humans in the Federation in this era.

Wang Ming, Leman Russ and Zhou Heng looked at the towering golden throne. Two completely different emperors appeared in their perspectives. What Wang Ming saw was an ordinary man with a painful expression on his face, while what Leman Russ saw was his scarred father, and what Zhou Heng saw was the scientist from the Federation era. The image of the emperor was different in everyone's eyes.

The Emperor Wang Ming saw this time was very similar to the Emperor in the eyes of the Untouchables. This may be related to the fact that he had obtained his own essence. When Wang Ming truly saw the Emperor for the first time, he had not yet obtained his own subspace essence.

"You are here, my sons, and... my old friends."

Just as the three were looking at the Emperor, a figure appeared in front of them. It was a middle-aged man with brown skin, black eyes and black hair. He looked very similar to the humans of the Mesopotamian region of ancient Terra, with some other human characteristics. Wang Ming even felt that he had some Asian features. I wonder if this was Wang Ming's illusion.

"Emperor...Father."

Wang Ming originally wanted to call him Emperor directly, but considering Leman Russ, he changed his words and called him father.

"I'm sorry father, I haven't found a way to cure you."

Leman Russ looked at the man in front of him, he lowered his head and spoke to the Emperor, he had originally gone to look for a way to heal the Emperor, but ten thousand years had passed and he had not found anything to heal the Emperor, which made him a little ashamed to face the Emperor.

"It's okay, my son, I'm glad you're back."

The Emperor spoke gently to Leman Russ. Wang Ming was stunned by his performance. How did the Emperor become like this? This was not like the state of the old man.

Just like this, Wang Ming was the father and son of Leman Russ and the Emperor reunited. He just waited quietly for Leman Russ to finish communicating with the Emperor. After the Emperor and Leman Russ finished communicating, Leman Russ seemed to have heard the Emperor's order. He nodded to Wang Ming and walked out of the throne room. The imperial guard also went out with Leman Russ.

"Niels, why are you so miserable? There is not much good meat left on your body."

After Zhou Heng saw Leman Russ and the Imperial Guards leave, he looked at the person in front of him. His visual processor activated and he finally saw the Emperor's current condition clearly. He looked at the psychic incarnation of the Emperor in front of him, smiling and joking with the Emperor, but Wang Ming could hear the sadness in his words.

"There's nothing I can do. Now that I've taken on this responsibility, I have to give it my all, just like the oath you took when you joined the federal army."

The Emperor's psychic incarnation looked at Zhou Heng. He smiled after hearing his words, and then said the most heavy words to Zhou Heng with a relaxed look.

"I will protect human civilization with my life and soul. I will allow it to advance safely in the universe. Whether in the deep sea of ​​the earth or on the frontier of the galaxy, as long as my body is still biologically active, I will protect human civilization with everything I have."

Zhou Heng looked at the Emperor's psychic incarnation and recited the Federation Forces' enlistment declaration. He always remembered it, even when he was smashed into pieces by a battleship driven by artificial intelligence. He actually died once. He did not tell Wang Ming about this matter, and he didn't know why he was still alive.

"Emperor, why did you call me back?"

Wang Ming looked at Zhou Heng and the Emperor, and he finally asked the Emperor why he asked him to return to Terra. At that time, the Emperor said that he would give him something. Now he really wanted to know what that thing was that was worth the Emperor asking him to spend three years to return to Terra.

"Oh... I almost forgot. You see, old people have bad memories. I'll give it to you right away."

When the Emperor heard Wang Ming's question, he seemed to have just remembered Wang Ming. A ray of psychic light appeared in his hand and hit Wang Ming directly in the face. Wang Ming did not think clearly until the last moment before he fainted, how did the 1.8-meter-tall psychic incarnation hit his face? He was five meters tall.

"WTF...where is this?"

Wang Ming woke up from a nightmare of endless battles. He looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and asked himself. He only remembered that he went to see the emperor, and then lost consciousness after being hit by a psychic Dabidou.

"Are you awake? The operation was successful..., cough cough cough..."

Suddenly, a female voice was heard beside him. Wang Ming looked towards the source of the voice and saw Edwi eating a bowl of grapes. She looked at Wang Ming with a confused face, playing a 21st century joke.

"Stop playing that kind of lame joke."

Wang Ming looked at Edwi and she looked like she was almost choked to death on grapes. Well, not like, she was. Wang Ming walked up to Edwi and slapped her on the back. Edwi finally spat out the grapes in her throat.

"Ahem... No more kidding, Wang Ming. We are now in the Imperial Palace area. You have been in a coma for five months. If you don't wake up, your descendants are planning to place you on the throne and worship you."

Edwi spit out the grapes, looked at Wang Ming, coughed and spoke to him.

"The Imperial Palace..., five months..., Your Majesty, can't you use gentler means?"

When Wang Ming heard Edvi's words, he recalled the dream he had when he was unconscious. It was a battlefield, a battlefield no less powerful than the one during the Great Rebellion. He had stayed in that battlefield for five years. He learned a lot on the battlefield, and realized how powerful his personal combat power was as a Primarch on that battlefield. He also realized how weak personal combat power was in war. He had seen more than once the mortal soldiers who fought with him die in front of him on the battlefield, but he could do nothing.

In the end, he also knew the location of the thing he needed. It was a star map, and its location was on a planet outside the empire. It was a human world, but the humans on it were not the humans of the empire. The location of this world was in the Kronos expansion area, where a dynasty of undead was awakening, and its location was also the starting point of the dead zone.

"Huh... Combat experience and target location, my Lord."

Wang Ming recalled his battles and the locations of his targets. His combat effectiveness had improved a lot. After all, he had defeated other Primarchs on that battlefield. Although most of the Primarchs could easily kill him, Wang Ming still used his advantage of unlimited resurrection to learn a lot. The one that impressed Wang Ming the most was Sanguinius. This archangel almost killed Wang Ming in seconds, and unlike other genetic Primarchs, Wang Ming could see that he was not an illusion without independent consciousness, and his various actions and emotional expressions were like a real person.
