Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Sacred Armor
"Your sacrifice will be remembered by the Empire, and your courage will be praised by the people of the Empire! Loyal warriors, may your souls return to the Golden Throne!"
The Primarch slowly closed his eyes, expressing his condolences to the warriors in this silent way.
The Sons of the Fire Dragon who escorted the Hand of Darkness back properly collected the remains of their comrades! After the pharmacist retrieved the gene seed, the glorious Astartes was buried in a corner of the battlefield.
The living saint Celestine sang a dirge as light as smoke, and the solemn atmosphere added a different color to this desolate land.
This is the Astartes, this is the final end of the Emperor's Angel of Death!
At this point, the alien creation [Hand of Darkness] has been recovered by the Empire, and the Primarch's next target is the [Eye of Darkness] located in the hive world of Onsvold.
The Living Saint Celestine and the Guards have joined the Primarch's team, along with the newly acquired [Sword of the Emperor].
The Primarch now has enough power to shake the balance of war! If Abaddon still wants to compete with the Empire for the Eye of Night, then the Chaos Warmaster must be prepared to fall at the hands of the Primarch.
This is not an exaggeration!
…
After leaving the Death World, the Sons of the Fire Dragon boarded the battle barge belonging to the Salamanders, while the Primarch boarded the flagship of the Custodes with the Hand of Darkness.
This is a fast strike cruiser named "Emperor's Eye". As one of the properties of the Imperial Guard, this battleship is naturally loaded with many legacies from the Dark Age of Technology.
In terms of firepower alone, the Emperor's Eye can even destroy a conventional heavy cruiser within an hour.
And on this powerful battleship, there is the second gift prepared by the Lord of Mankind for the Primarch.
According to Celestine, it was a set of power armor from the Dark Age of Technology, forged by the great Lord of Mankind himself!
Accompanied by the Living Saint and the Guards, the Primarch took the elevator to the cargo hold on the bottom floor of the Eye of the Emperor.
After passing through several strict gates, the shield guard captain Valerian, who was in charge of leading the way, stopped in front of a huge gold container.
The huge golden container was branded with the unique logo of the Imperial Guards, and every corner of the container was loaded with a stasis field generator. Several generators worked together to allow the huge stasis field to cover every corner of the container.
It is under the protection of the static state that the goods in the container can be protected from the erosion of time! Even if thousands of years have passed, the goods in it are still as new as before.
Under the gaze of the Primarch, the Shield Guard Captain embedded the token representing the Golden Legion into the groove on the surface of the container.
With a heart-shaking bell ringing, the autonomous machine hidden in the container started up automatically! Like an epic melody played from the brass pipes, the forbidden field generator embedded in the container slowly shut down amid the pleasant sound of gears turning.
A piece of power armor that was shining golden all over appeared before everyone in a breathtaking manner.
Since the moment it walked out of the forge, this magnificent power armor has been sleeping here for ten thousand years.
When forging this power armor, the Emperor used some magic from the barbaric era! While this magic strengthens the power armor, it also places strict requirements on the user of the power armor.
Except for its forger, the Emperor, no one can get the recognition of this power armor! Even Horus, the Primarch of the Empire, was defeated by this power armor.
"This is the second gift the Emperor has given you." Saint Celestine bowed slightly to the Primarch, "Lion, Russ, Vulkan... none of the descendants of the Emperor have been able to conquer this power armor! But you, who possess golden psychic energy, will surely make history."
The guards of the Imperial Guards surrounded the Primarch and came to the front of this gorgeous power armor.
This luxurious power armor is called [Holy Armor]. The Emperor originally designed it to provide technical verification for the [True One Armor] that was later created.
Therefore, whether in terms of style or performance in all aspects, the Sacred Armor is almost the same as the True One Armor.
If we ignore the meaning of the armor, then it is not a bad idea to regard this sacred armor as the true armor.
Under the expectant gaze of the Living Saint and the Imperial Guards, the Primarch's palm touched the gorgeous sacred armor! In an instant, a golden light as bright as the sun bloomed from the sacred armor.
Even the powerful imperial guards and living saints had to close their eyes in front of such a dazzling light.
The Guards felt majesty from the light of the Holy Armor; the Living Saint felt grandeur from the light of the Holy Armor, but as a Primarch, Gawain felt only intimacy from this light.
After a long time, the bright light gradually faded away, and the Primarch was still standing flawlessly on the platform where the sacred armor was stored.
This also means that the Holy Armor has recognized the Primarch! After the great Lord of Humanity, the Holy Armor welcomed its second master.
For the Imperial Guards who have been guarding the Golden Throne for ten thousand years, this is undoubtedly extremely exciting news.
With the Emperor's Sword and the Holy Armor, the loyal Guards vaguely saw the Emperor's shadow in the Primarch! The Guards firmly believed that the declining Empire would regain the glory of the Great Crusade under the leadership of the Primarch.
The first step to restoring glory was to have the Primarch crowned as Regent of the Empire on Terra.
The title of "Regent of the Empire" is not very dazzling for the Primarch.
However, due to the rules set by the Lord of Mankind, Gawain could only legitimately interfere in the affairs of the empire by becoming the regent of the empire.
The Shield Captain informed the Primarch of his thoughts, but unexpectedly, the Primarch refused to go to Terra for the coronation at this time.
"Valerian, now is not the best time to go to Terra." The Primarch looked at the Dark Hand stored in the stasis position, "The conspiracy of the betrayer is brewing in the warp."
"The Chaos Warmaster is trying to seize the Blackstone Fortress in the Gothic Sector! If we do not intervene, the Blackstone Fortress will become the fuse of the Empire's downfall in the near future."
"It is a dark and desperate future! Stopping Abaddon and Chaos's plot is more important than my coronation as Regent of the Empire."
The shield captain could feel the seriousness in the Primarch's tone, and Valerian had no intention of interfering with the Primarch's decision.
