"For the Emperor!" The commander of the Indomitable Truth responded to the Lion King's oath with a fanatical look on his face.
They have long been patient in seeking revenge against the rebels.
……
"Father? What is going on?"
Inside the cruiser, Sevatar sat in front of the ship's medical platform. The company commander used a surgical knife to clean the wound and dead flesh on his shoulder blade.
There were no Legion pharmacists among the people saved by Curze, so they could only heal themselves.
The sharp scalpel danced deftly in his hands. He cut open his skin without batting an eyelid and scraped off the necrotic flesh underneath bit by bit. The smelly, dark blood flowed from the wound and dripped into the container that had been prepared long ago.
His control over his body reached an incredible level. When he treated the wound himself, he didn't even observe where the knife fell, as if he had repeated everything thousands of times.
Seeing Sevatar safe, Curze breathed a sigh of relief. If he still had some concerns about the Night Lords, they were only about Sevatar, Shen and a few other descendants.
"Sevatar, this is a very long story." Koz looked at his son's clear and determined eyes and didn't know where to start.
"So, you've returned to the Empire, right?" To Coze's surprise, Sevatar saw through his hesitation and questioned him as sharply as a scalpel.
"From the moment you broke into the cage of the Indomitable Truth to the moment we escaped from that battleship and hijacked this cruiser to enter the warp, I knew that all of this was a tacit agreement between you and the Lion."
"Otherwise, even if we can really escape from the Indomitable Truth, we will definitely be turned into cannon fodder by the defense system in the solar system. I firmly believe this."
"That Caliban man actually revealed his weakness on his own initiative. This speaks volumes. He was not like that in the Salamas sector back then. Our legion was beaten by the First Legion and had to flee in all directions."
Koz smiled silently. Although he had been separated from his son for a long time, the other party was still as sharp and insightful as ever.
He wants to reshape the Eighth Legion, and those criminals and villains will be eliminated one by one. Only through fire and ashes can they be reborn, and all this requires Sevatar's support and help.
After all, Koz also knows his own level. Maybe he can kill all the people in his own legion, but for him to create a pure legion based on this foundation... it is too difficult.
Sevatar was also observing Koz carefully at this moment. Countless details had revealed Koz's changes and differences. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his genetic father had actually shed his former madness.
As the captain of the first company and the head of the Nightbat Council, Sevatar was naturally very clear about the predictive visions that had been tormenting Curze. They had also tried to suppress Curze's crazy prophecies, but all failed.
And now, somehow, the hateful curse that had haunted his father had faded.
Curze now has a clear will, and that is enough for Sevatar.
His loyalty belongs to the Gene-Father, and Sevatar is not interested in whether he is loyal or betrayed by the Empire.
After treating his injuries, Sevatar restored his slicked-back hair style. With the help of his battle brothers, he put on the power armor he retrieved from the Dark Angels warehouse. The armor made of rare metals on Nostramo could completely blend into the night, with only dark blue lightning patterns flashing on the surface of the armor.
"We must return to Horus and bring Magnus back to Terra," Curze said.
He happily watched his son recover from his miserable appearance to his original state. Sevatar's left shoulder was decorated with a Nostramo lion, and his hands were clad in red gauntlets symbolizing a death sentence. He held a finely crafted power halberd in his hands casually. The Prince of Crows had returned.
Although the experience of being imprisoned and interrogated by the Dark Angels left him covered in scars, it never made him surrender.
Sevatar understood Curze's will. He closed his eyes and thought about what to do next.
The cruiser roamed in the ocean of ether, and he used his psychic prophetic abilities to capture the future direction as much as possible.
"Yago." On the bridge of the battleship, a girl dressed in choir clothes came to Sevatar. She was the Astropath who was confirmed missing by the Dark Angels.
"Athanee."
Sevatar opened his eyes and turned his face to the side. When he was imprisoned in a cage, a voice calling him "Yago" kept ringing in his ears.
He once thought that it was his psychic illusion, and constantly reflected and confided in it, but in fact the other party was a mortal astropath serving the Dark Angels.
It is through communicating with her that Sevatar is able to briefly learn about some of the situations in the outside world. The Prince of Crows even talks to her about their pasts, confesses his crimes and faults, and reflects on the judgment and punishment he practices.
His prison life on the Indomitable Truth made him understand many things.
After being rescued by her genetic father, Sevatar took her out and killed the monitor who abused her.
The psychic power of this young girl astropath is unusually strong. She assists Sevatar in psychic prophecy so that the isolated ship can find the right way out.
Koz sat in the corner, quietly watching Sevatar and the young star talker.
"This brat..." Midnight Haunter chuckled. He saw that Sevatar had gained a calmness and concentration that he had never had before. The Primarch looked through the two of them, somewhat surprised that his son could get along so well with a mortal astropath.
"This is what I dream of a Legion warrior looking like. Perhaps one day the Night Lords will be able to live in harmony with mortals and fight side by side."

"Finally, we got rid of this plague god. I hope the plan will go smoothly."
"Koz, Koz, this is your last chance."
At the porthole of the Red Alert, Roche watched the battleship that had broken away from the edge of the Indomitable Truth speeding all the way to Mandeville Point before finally disappearing into a subspace rift.
"This will be an extremely difficult task, and I don't know if this unreliable guy can do it."
Curze is now a nail planted by the Empire among the traitors. In addition to bringing back Magnus and replacing the Emperor to sit on the damn Golden Throne, he may also play an unexpected role at a critical moment.
But this means that Curze will have to deal with other traitor primarchs. Once this guy's acting is not good enough and reveals a flaw, Roche can only mourn for Curze.
He left three hundred sets of strong interaction force armor, as well as matching melee weapons and long-range attack weapons on the battleship carrying Curze, which were enough for Curze to arm a group of Midnight Lord warriors loyal to him.
As for the subsequent sources of supplies, we need to give full play to the fine traditions of the Midnight Lords. If my neighbors stockpile food, I stockpile guns. My neighbors are my granary.
In addition, Roche specifically asked Curze to "take good care of" those planets that had betrayed the empire, especially those planets with rich material production capacity. Don't they just want to surrender to Horus for a chance to survive?
The opportunity came, but the Night Lords.
After the defeat of the Night Lords in the Battle of Salamas, Sevatar disbanded the legion at the last minute in order to prevent the legion's destruction, causing it to split into six companies and flee in different directions. It is indeed a difficult challenge to reintegrate the legion.
"Dorn will guard Terra and the solar system, while Lion, Sanguinius, and Jaghatai will soon set out to the Beta Garmon Cluster to fight the rebels.
Russ is stubborn and determined to assassinate Horus, and Curze now bears the heavy responsibility of getting the Emperor off the Golden Throne and returns to the Rebellion again. "
"It's been a long time since I've been so quiet around you. I'm a little uncomfortable with it suddenly happening."
"Maybe this is the norm. Life is lonely." Sharokin said lightly beside Luo Xi.
This Raven Son has always served as Roshi's bodyguard, but Roshi is always accompanied by his Primarch, which makes Sharokin's presence extremely rare.
And now, Luo Xi finally has time to do some things that he has always planned to do but were put aside by more important plans.
He will once again replicate the "Mustafar" forge world within the solar system.
Ever since the Dark Mechanicus of Mars released countless waste codes into its own information network in 005.M31, most of the factories on this most brilliant technological star in human history have been paralyzed and destroyed.
The Martian secession war that broke out in 006.M31 left the planet in ruins. Its powerful scientific research capabilities and production capacity fell to a historic low. Even the terrible period of the strife era in the past was worse than Mars at this moment.
"Back when the civil war broke out in the Isstvan system, a civil war also broke out on Mars. In this war, the founder of the Dark Mechanicus, Casting General Kyber Har, plundered a large number of Martian machines and production capacity, while the Mechanicus, who were still loyal to the Empire, were defeated one after another."
"In the later stages of the war, since the Imperial army was basically busy suppressing the rebellion, Rogal Dorn only sent the Saturn Legion and four companies of the Imperial Fists led by Sigismund to Mars for reinforcement."
"This part of the reinforcements said they were going to reinforce the Mechanicus, but in fact they were just going to Mars to rescue the production plants and equipment. The Imperial Fists moved a large amount of supplies back to Terra and left Mars with those loyal Mechanicus."
Roche talked attentively about the history of Mars in the past, and expressed his sadness that the technological capital of mankind had come to such an end.
"Then why is it that Mars is still under the control of the Dark Mechanicus after so long? It is so close to Holy Terra, isn't this a threat that can be seen with the naked eye?" Sharokin expressed confusion.
Although it sounds counterintuitive, it is true. In the tight defense of the solar system, Mars is still under the control of the enemy. The Dark Mechanicus has the upper hand in the civil war, which is equivalent to planting a poisonous thorn in the heart of the country.
Luo Xi explained for his old friend.
“This question may seem difficult to understand, but it is actually very simple.”
"First of all, according to the Treaty of Olympia signed between the Emperor and Mars, the Mechanicus and the Empire are actually equal allies. They are the other head of the two-headed eagle. Strictly speaking, the Empire's interference has violated the original treaty, even though Mars is now in civil strife."
Astartes are generally not very interested in politics. These superhuman warriors tend to only focus on war. Only a few like the Ultramarines are interested in things like politics and philosophy.
In the eyes of many people, the Mechanicus and the Empire are actually the same thing, but in fact they are not.
“Secondly, the reinforcements Rogal Dorn sent to Mars actually looted a large amount of Terminator power armor and other war materials. They did not play any obvious role.
Loyal Mechanicus forge worlds like Lava City were buried in the flames of war, and the evacuated Mechanicus were extremely dissatisfied with this. They would rather blockade Mars than let the human empire's army capture it again. "
Sharokin nodded as if he understood. Coming from the Planet of Savior, he actually didn't have much good feelings towards these Mechanic Cults. The Crow King Corax had started out by overthrowing the technical guild on his home planet.
Sharokin participated in this great liberation war and witnessed the brutal oppression of the people of Savior Star and Kiawa by these technical guilds.
"If the Empire recaptures Mars, then it will be impossible for them to spit out the fat meat they have eaten. By then, the Adeptus Mechanicus will really become a subordinate organization of the Empire."
"Therefore, the oilers would rather their homeland be under the control of the Dark Mechanicus than be recaptured by the Empire now. Moreover, with the intensity of the war that broke out on Mars, the Empire is not willing to get involved now."
Due to the shutdown of Mars and the destruction of the production base on Jupiter, the Empire had a huge supply gap. The loyal Mechanicus who evacuated to Terra could not produce such a large amount of equipment even if they used all their wrenches to smoke.
"Where do you plan to place the war base? Although the solar system is large, there are not many suitable places. We must fully consider the distance and efficiency of resource acquisition, as well as security issues."
The solar system is so large that all the planets can be stuffed into the space between the orbits of the Earth and the Moon, but it is also so small that there are not many places suitable for building production bases.
"After careful consideration, I decided to set up the war base in this location."
The holographic projection in front of Luo Xi quickly enlarged, and a giant satellite in the orbit of Jupiter slowly rotated and appeared in front of the two.
"Ganymede, the largest satellite in the solar system, is also the planet I chose."
Ganymede has a diameter of 5262 kilometers, which is even larger than Mercury. Its volume is three times that of the moon. It is the only satellite with a magnetic field.
The Red Alert slowly crossed the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. This belt of celestial debris filled with materials was also included in Roche's plan. It would become an important source of materials for the war base on Ganymede.
Roche had already greeted the Sigillite, and Rogal Dorn had also cleared out the Imperial warships cruising in the space near Ganymede. The waterway was empty, and only the many Mechanicus who had received the news were observing the changes in Ganymede using various means.
"I order the war base to be deployed!"
Luo Xi gave the order, and the intelligent computer pickup immediately controlled the Red Alert to slowly land on Ganymede.
This is a marble-like planet. The average surface temperature of Ganymede is only -163℃. Its surface is covered by a thick layer of ice. The scanning array of Red Alert shows that at its core, there is a core composed of liquid iron and a mantle composed of silicates.
"The slight magnetic field generated by the iron core is only about 1% of Terra's, but this also saves me some effort. It is always easier to strengthen the Earth's magnetic field than to create one from scratch."
A war vehicle larger than Mustafa's base vehicle was deployed on the surface ice of Ganymede. The average thickness of the planet's ice layer is more than 150 kilometers, and its solidity is even comparable to the earth's crust, and it is fully capable of supporting large-scale construction activities.
The STC templates and various types of technologies collected by Luo Xi in the Extreme Star Field have now been compiled into the new generation of base vehicles. The more complete technology tree has also enabled the functions of the base vehicles to be iterated, and it can produce more things than before.
Under the expectant eyes of Roshi and Sharokin, the base vehicle, which was moved by an anti-gravity engine, had landed in a stable area with an ice layer more than 200 kilometers thick.
Then, the plain-looking war base vehicle began its magical transformation.

The moment the base vehicle was deployed, the built-in field generator had already created a huge hemispherical airspace in the snow and ice.
