From the outside, Quanzhou Palace is a huge castle towering into the sky, but after entering the inside, Soshiyang realized that it was indeed a palace.
The culture of Chegris is very different from the mainstream culture of the empire. Most of the external barriers composed of rock and steel are wooden buildings. The towers inside are octagonal, paved layer by layer with golden glazed tiles. The main building of the entire Quanzhou Palace is extended outward with front eaves, with four bright columns standing around, surrounded by long corridors, and is quaint.
Soshyan passed through halls after hall, which displayed and placed many white scars in the battle since the Legion era, from the original daggers to alien war blades that were taller than one person, and even the claws of some arthropods.
Afterwards, they entered a spacious vestibule from the corridor, which was covered with glittering crystals, and in front of the walls were many servants in fur robes holding incense burners.
On the far wall, the Legion's lightning sign was inlaid on snow-white stone slabs.
Below the lightning mark are huge Eidman metal explosion-proof doors, which lead to the access room of Quanzhou Palace. Two Terminators hold heavy closure knives and guard the entrance like door gods, their faces are hidden behind the tilted grille of the power armor, and their helmets are decorated with black-dyed horse mane.
As the explosion-proof door opened, Soshiyang followed Subodenghan to approach this exotic hall.
The hall is very large, estimated to be seven or eight hundred square meters, with conspicuous red columns and metal grilles. But the most conspicuous thing is that the walls around the hall are hung with huge curtains like tapestries decorated with countless animal skins, almost covering the walls of the entire hall, making it look like a huge tent.
However, there are several windows on each side that are lined with light veils, making them transparent.
The central axis of the hall is paved with a square red carpet, and at the end is a huge metal brazier, which Soshiyan follows the line all the way forward.
The place smelled of leather, furnace and incense, and the flames burned in the brazier, burning the inner walls of the metal to black, and the halls were filled with mysterious runes of Chegris.
On both sides of the red carpet, the white scarred sweaters stood, their shoulder pads with their own fraternity badges, and their eyes were focused on Soshiyang, with scrutiny, speculation, and curiosity.
Through the brazier, Soshiyan saw a huge ivory throne high above the end of the hall. It must have belonged to the Primrose, but it has been vacant for nearly ten thousand years.
Another great warrior stood on the steps below the throne. His face was as heavy as dates, his lips were covered with grease, and there was a lightning-shaped scar on his cheeks. His bare head was only a short braid hanging behind his head. He was squinting his eyes slightly, looking at Soshiyang gently caressing his long beard.
Without introduction, Soshiyang can also guess that this person is the current White Scar Battle Commander, Juba Khan.
Although Juba Khan has the same name as another Khan of the Great Expeditionary Era, he is a new generation in the 41 thousand years. After the whereabouts of the 943.M41 predecessor, Great Khan, was unknown because of his battle with the Dark Spirit, Juba succeeded as the Great Khan - before that, he successfully passed the test set by the Storm Prophet.
During his tenure as the Great Khan, Juba experienced countless battles with aliens. One of the greatest achievements was that during the Yopal riot, he led the battle group to launch several raids, which severely hit the enemy's supply and communication lines.
Under such an attack, the enemy was forced to transfer a large number of troops to deal with Baishou, and the Imperial Guard was able to take the opportunity to break through the weak enemy front line and finally quell the rebellion.
Strictly speaking, Juba served as the commander of the battle group as not as Sushyan, but he served more than two hundred years earlier than Sushyan.
Standing with Juba Khan was an old man holding a long bone staff, with white hair and a vicissitudes of face.
Like Juba, there is almost no need to ask, Soshiyan also knows that he is one of the oldest think tank directors of the empire, the Storm Prophet Ogedei.
Suboden Khan, who led the way for Soshyang, stopped in front of the steps, then nodded and signaled to each other and returned to his position.
When everyone entered, the explosion-proof door was immediately closed, and the light emitted by the bronze luminous tube shone on the surrounding white walls. There were about seventy white-scared warriors standing on the tiled floor. It seemed that there were not only Khans from various fraternities, but also some commanding and veterans with deep qualifications.
"Welcome to Chegris, the Supreme Lord Commander of the Great Vortex Expeditionary Force, His Excellency Soshyan Alexey."
When Jubahan spoke slowly, his thunderous voice echoed between the curtains of the reception hall. During the decades when he became the leader of the battle, his broken and firm face became harder, and the zigzag scars on his face became paler. Although the ancient seiko power armor was carefully maintained, the battle marks such as burn marks, chisel marks, dents, etc. remained.
It is said that this armor was passed down from the legendary warrior Juba Khan of the Majesty Expedition.
The same armor, worn by people of the same name ten thousand years later, seems to represent a certain cycle of fate.
However, his strong Chegris accent also made Soshyan listen carefully to what he was going to say. Even because of his heavy accent, Chegris is actually classified as a low Gothic in the official language of the Empire.
"Juba Khan, you're welcome, and I'm very happy to be here in Chegris, a glorious place that represents the White Scar Legion."
Listening to the standard high Gothic language, Juba Khan stared at Soshyang with a mysterious smile on his face, and gently stroked the hilt of the scimitar at his waist with his left hand.
"As the saying goes, the rustling leaves must be the wind. The commander of the Soshiyang battle must have come here not just to see the scenery."
Soshiyang is actually quite unfamiliar with White Scars. He has never had any contact with these soldiers in his service career, even in the sub-group, but at least it seems that they are a group of straightforward warriors.
For straightforward people, use straightforward communication methods.
"White Scar is the startup group closest to the Great Vortex area, not only your group, but even the subgroups separated by your group are basically active in the Great Vortex area to prevent the heresy and aliens hidden in the vortex area. This time I came on an expedition to hope to get your help and guidance, because I know that Huron is a terrible opponent. Even if I defeat him once, it doesn't mean that there will be a second time."
Juba Khan nodded slightly.
"Well, the real river must be quiet, the real capable must be humble. If the commander of the Soshiyang Battle can have this awareness, this expedition must have a day of victory even if it is difficult, but-"
The Khan's words immediately made Soshiyang's heart stumble.
"Actually, I made some arrangements after receiving the expedition news, but according to the fleet logo on the orbit, the Dark Angels have joined the expeditionary force, right?"
Although he didn't know what the other party was trying to mention this suddenly, Soshiyang nodded honestly.
"Yes."
"And if I remember correctly, one of the ships is often used by the Raven Wings."
"This time, the Supreme Tall Mentor Azriel appointed Mentor Samuel to lead the Crow Wings Company to participate in the expedition."
“That’s it.”
