Chapter 1054: The Unspeakable and the Determined
"Great story."
"But we are different from you. If we hadn't joined the Tyrone Navy, we wouldn't be trapped here. We just want to get out of this hellhole now."
A crew member expressed his dissatisfaction.
"At least we are still alive!" Taron scolded angrily, "If you are afraid of the void, if you are afraid of the terrible truth in this universe, why do you join the Tyrone Navy and why do you enter the Naval Academy? You who participated in the Golden Expedition are so cowardly!"
Taron's anger was only met with a sarcastic response.
All the crew members were laughing at him, and when they seemed to have laughed enough, they said at the same time, "Funny ants."
Taron wanted to continue scolding, but the room suddenly fell into darkness, and the entire escape pod also shook violently.
The captain immediately became alert, like an old soldier who encountered the enemy in battle, with a cold and fierce face.
This abnormality is not the first time in 20 years, it happens almost every day.
Taron knew what would happen after the abnormality of the escape pod. In order to deal with what was about to appear, he sat cross-legged facing the posters and signs, forcing himself to calm down.
Then the entire escape pod suddenly became translucent, and the strange universe outside the escape pod also became translucent. The "kaleidoscope" was still there, but Taron could see the world outside the circles of stars and planets when he was in the escape pod.
Outside was a nebula.
The colorful nebula circled over, and they gradually gathered into one thing.
The thing formed by the nebula was indescribable to Taron.
It was obviously visible, but its shape could not be described. Just a glimpse of the corner made Taron feel a violent mental shock.
Taron did not close his eyes. He stared at the thing and imprinted the appearance of the thing in his brain, so that if he could be found one day, Taron's researchers could at least trace back what he had seen from his body and deal with it.
But this thing was too huge, and he could only peek at a corner.
The thing began to circle around the escape pod.
Taren was fighting against the mental shock at the same time. In his own feelings, he seemed to be boiling his brain in a hot pot facing the enemy's attack, and all he could do was to build a line of defense to resist the attack. This was the behavior of humans as real creatures to visualize abstract feelings.
And the way to build a line of defense is not to really set up a circle of positions next to the brain, but to let the brain work and think about things.
Taren began to recall his past.
In the Naval Academy, on the ship, at the end of the Golden Expedition.
Mission, responsibility.
It's not that Taren doesn't want to think about his happy time on his home planet, his parents and the girl next door in his childhood that he never saw again after being sent out by the Governor, but these beautiful things will only make people relax.
He needs the most exciting and impulsive to consolidate his "line of defense".
The things made of the nebula circled around the escape pod for two seconds as if watching, and then left.
The power supply of the escape pod was restored, and everything was no longer translucent.
But the two seconds of confrontation seemed as long as a thousand years to Tarun. When he realized that the burden on his head had been lifted, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and the sound of tinnitus lingered in his ears.
Fatigue surged into his brain, and Tarun could no longer support himself and fell to the ground and fell asleep.
It was not until an unknown time later that Tarun woke up and subconsciously went to find the recorder.
It was a new day again.
…
Somewhere in the galaxy.
The fleet of the Silent King Szalak was sailing in the void.
This place was far away from the front line of the war between humans and the Necrons, but the Silent King's powerful fleet did not go to the front line to support the Storm King, but sailed here, like a patrol fleet running around in an insignificant place.
And at the end of the Silent King's fleet, in an unknown space, a human ship was following far behind.
The cloned Primarchs were in the human ship, and the entire ship was highly intelligent, with only them on board.
"What's the point of following the Necromancer fleet like this?"
"But this is the solution given by the Recorder. If we don't follow them, are we going to look for a needle in the galaxy?"
"..."
The cloned Primarchs discussed the current situation.
After a discussion, Horus, who had been listening to his brothers' opinions in silence, turned his head and looked at a man wearing heavy black stone armor.
That man was Lorgar Aurelion.
In the Golden Crusade, Lorgar was seriously injured by Corax himself, and then was automatically teleported away. He came back after being cured.
Now the cloned Primarchs were sent by Qin Mo to find the Star Scroll. Lorgar came here as the agent of the Recorder, the main source of information. Among all the cloned Primarchs, he is considered a consultant.
When Horus's eyes fell on him, Lorgar knew that he should express his opinion.
"We should follow Szalak's fleet." Lorgar said calmly.
Then he repeated his reasons again.
That is, the recorder provided help for this operation. It told everything about the Star Scroll and also told the method that might help the cloned Primarchs find the Star Scroll.
This method was to follow Szalak's fleet.
The reason is that during the War in Heaven, the Star Gods and the Necrons wanted to disintegrate the defense line of the Ancient Saints that spanned the galaxy, but no matter how the Storm King Imotek tried, any action would be detected by the Ancient Saints. It seemed that the only way to disintegrate the defense line of the Ancient Saints was to attack violently.
The Void Dragon proposed a solution, which was to use the Star God named Star Scroll. This Star God could use reality to hide the troops sent by Imotek, but it was not easy to find the Star Scroll.
At this time, a weak Star God named Seeker found the Void Dragon and helped the Void Dragon find the Star Scroll on the condition of obtaining shelter.
The Void Dragon asked the Seeker to find Szalak to convey his order to find the Star Scroll, and asked the Seeker to help Szalak find it.
There are only two people in the galaxy who can find the Star Scroll, one is the Seeker who is unknown where he is now, and the other is Szalak who has found the Star Scroll.
This is the reason why Lorgar has mentioned countless times to follow the Szalak fleet during this period of time.
After hearing this reason again, Guilliman repeated his doubts: "Will Szahrak definitely go to find the Star Scroll? If it doesn't, then wouldn't it be in vain for us to follow it?"
"Then follow it." Lorgar said, "Otherwise, what can we do on the front line? Can we break into the atmosphere alone and sweep away thousands of enemies, or can we sneak in the world of the Necromancer's Tomb with technological prophecies and unimaginable detection methods, just like you did on the iron ring of the Iron Warriors?"
This time Lorgar gave a fairly convincing rebuttal.
