Amid the sound of the trumpet, Rozim tried hard to look into the distance, and saw a huge ritual car slowly coming. It was as if it had been shaped into a miniature ship. The front looked like the bow of the ship, with a huge golden eagle head embedded in it. The decks on both sides were carved into the shape of church windows. On the ridge was a spacious platform, and at the tail was a prominent shrine, with a golden statue of the emperor.
The fighting nuns of the Ebony Grail Order stood in front of the shrine under the leadership of Villets, sang the hymns with fists and clenched their hands.
A giant wearing gorgeous golden ritual armor stood on the front deck, wearing a laurel and a heavy burgundy cloak, holding the sword around his waist with one hand, holding a golden scepter in the shape of a stick in the other hand, and constantly waved to the people shouting around. The cameras on the airship also magnified and projected his smiling expression.
It was the protagonist of this victory parade, Soshiyan Alexey, the leader of the Astral Knights. His armor was based on his original silver-gray ritual armor. After several days of processing by the top craftsmen in Terra, the appearance was completely plated into gold. At the same time, the eagle on his chest and the iron halo behind his head also turned into a burning sun. On the left side of the shoulder armor is an eagle and a lion on the right side, the knee joints are partly carved into a solemn human face, the arm armor and leg armor are carved with symbols of lightning and sharp swords, and the upper chest and shoulder armor are covered with ribbons and scripture strips.
Next to Soshyang stood three people, one holding the regiment flag, the other holding the battle flag granted by the high lord, and the other holding the traditional dragon flag used when the imperial army returned in triumphal return in the past.
They are Robin, Amnak, and Bahram.
"It's really beautiful in gold. Well, I like it very much."
Isven looked at the dazzling golden giant in the merchandise car and couldn't help but sigh, Dogo on the side curled his lips.
"Isn't it just a big golden guy? I think it's similar to green skin..."
"Ah! That's--"
Suddenly, Rozim screamed, frightening Ssina.
"What are you doing!"
"Look carefully, the people next to the commander of the battle."
Ssina then turned the camera to both sides and enlarged the focal length. Soon she also discovered that nearly a hundred soldiers were walking on both sides of the huge merry car. They were neither armed nor flags. Each of these soldiers wearing the 9th Company (actually the 11th Company) held a broken and dirty military flag with evil patterns on it. The top of the military flag was lined with red helmets, most of which were traces of mutation or blasphemy. Then there was no need to say more about their identity as their former master.
"They actually brought the flag of the Red Pirates War Gang..."
The shape of these nearly a hundred soldiers holding the military flag was very special. The traitor's flag and helmets were held in their hands by them. When this unique square array gradually walked into the main scenic spot of the crowd with Soshiyang on the chariot, the voice became complicated, with shouts, screams, and fanaticism.
Such a unique ceremony ignited the incomparable enthusiasm of the residents of Terra, and the sounds of praise and prayer rose and rose.
At the same time, with three storm birds, nine thunder eagles and nine storm crow gunboats also lined up at a constant speed and slowly flew over from above. The air waves sprayed from their engines blow the petals all over the sky, and a huge Knights flag of the Star Realm hanging under each aircraft.
When the chariot drove, the engine was roaring. The three spotlessly wiped brutal blades kept following the chariot at a constant speed. The captains were all standing in the turret with open hatch covers, with their hands comparable to the Skyhawks.
Three overweight armored vehicles are followed by six Predator tanks, and then nine Rand Raiders.
As the team moved forward, the 10-kilometer Hero Avenue was almost completely covered with petals.
After passing through several huge arches, on one side of the avenue, Soshyan saw a huge and regular fortress-Dorne Fortress.
This is a new building during the Great Rebellion. It is said that when the Terra Siege broke out, Dorn was commanding the battle in this fortress. Now there are two huge statues on both sides of the fortress, one is Dorn holding a long sword, and the other is a warrior wearing imperial fist armor. When the sun shines on the statue, they also seem to be staring at the coming team.
The team continued to move forward, and the crowd rushed to the sky, and soon reached the second half of the Hero Road. Here, there were many fewer people watching the scenery because the buildings here were also very rare. In a sense, the section of several hundred meters was surrounded by ruins, and only a stone pillar with a height of 100 meters and a diameter of more than 100 meters stood alone among the desolate ruins.
This is one of the holy places of the Empire Fist, the Bone Pillar.
This lonely stone pillar was once part of the Imperial Fist's monastery fortress and conscription chapel in Terra, but it was completely destroyed during the Horus Rebellion. After the war, there was no change in the ruins here except for symbolic cleaning. If you look closely, you will find that the pillars are covered with hand bones and finger bones. It is said that the bone pillars were once full of bullet holes made by explosive bombs. During the cleaning after the war, Dorn filled the bullet holes with the hand bones of the Emperor's Fist warrior who died in Terra's besieged.
Now, the bone pillar has become a relic of the battle group because of its honor, and on the other hand, it continues the original function of the recruits in the conscription chapel, accepting the new recruits recruited from Terra, including Laysander, who joined the Emperor's Fist from here. (Lysander is a Terra native)
When passing the bone column, all the Space Marines turned their heads neatly and salute, including Soshiyan.
After walking through the bone column, the cheers of the crowd rose again, but this is already the most prosperous and wealthy area of ​​the City of Prayers. Many spectators are no longer just in the surrounding buildings, but even in the airplane.
The magnificent castle-like extension extends, and the Terra Palace on the top of the Himalayas is clearly visible. In the morning sun, it is like a delicate painting on a slowly opened canvas scroll. The Yongming lights almost make the stars lose their color.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Not long after passing through the bone column, the team came to a nearby honor memorial column. This column, which is nearly two thousand meters high, is located on the tower-shaped base of the same hundreds of meters high. The column is inlaid with the remains of the soldiers who died in the siege of Terra, and some of the remains are even worn on the armor of the victims during their lifetime.
This memorial pillar is also engraved with huge golden words, which constitutes a sentence - human heroes will be immortal.
It is said that these words were written by a loyal Primros of Terra after the war, but there are many different opinions. Most of them believed that it was Kiriman, and some people believed that it was Dorn or Ryan. However, the salamanders had their own opinions. According to ancient archival documents, they determined that this sentence was written by the great father Forgan after the war with a heavy mood.
After passing here, there were almost no buildings, and the surroundings were very empty. You could even see the original surface. A high wall locked the city behind, as if civilization had ended here.
All the cheers and noises disappeared here, too.
Suddenly the surrounding scenery was empty and surprised many soldiers, but Soshiyan had already known in advance what was going on. Last night, while learning religion and Terra history with Villets, he knew the reason from the other party - the ancient law prohibited the spire of the nest and the residential tower facing the high wall of the palace. No non-defensive buildings are allowed in the fifty kilometers of shooting area outside the palace wall.
About two hours after leaving the airport, the team finally arrived at the ultimate destination of this victory parade, and it is also the true main gate of the Imperial Palace and the gate of eternity!
"This is the gate of eternity..."
As all the sounds went away, Soshiyang widened his eyes and looked forward.
He could not even speculate how huge the folding door was. It might even be enough to pass an imperial-level titan, and it would easily make people feel curious. I believe that what would happen after such a "door"?
