Suddenly, Li turned his head to look at Daria, his voice became softer.
"Many times."
Daria just replied softly.
"But the effectiveness of these measures is increasingly limited."
"Temporarily, I won't need them soon."
After the bandages were re-wrapped, Li stretched his hands towards the hourglasses, and immediately saw the fine sand in the hourglasses beginning to flow backwards, and at the same time, traces of light green energy began to float out of the hourglasses and merge into Li's skinny body.
After a moment, Li clenched his fists again.
"Are they coming?"
"Already arrived."
Li walked out of the room and came to the bridge hall of his personal ship, a mysterious giant ship that had never been officially registered by the empire.
As soon as he entered the bridge, Li saw two majestic bodies standing in the main passage, with their backs turned to him as if they were talking about something. They were wearing the oldest model of power armor in the empire, and had bolt guns on their waists.
.
Hearing the movement of the bridge door, the two people immediately turned around, revealing their ferocious and sturdy faces. Both of them looked like they had been through many battles, with scars on their faces and necks, like broken statues, but they
He also has the temperament and toughness of a warrior who has fought many battles.
One of the soldiers, who was bald and had a long scar on his right eye, saw Empress Li, laughed heartily, and strode over.
"Li! Long time no see, I thought you had forgotten us!"
Li walked over with a sincere smile.
"The whole galaxy has forgotten us. If I forget you again, who will remember what happened in the past?"
There are almost no symbols on the ancient power armor of the two warriors. The glory of the past has long passed with time, and now there is only a symbol of lightning splitting the skull on their chests.
"As long as you are here, our existence will still have meaning. We have been waiting for your call. After all... we, a group of sewer rats, only have this little value left."
When Li heard this, he raised his right hand.
"Babu, we are no longer mice, I swore, never again... When I first met you abandoned Thunder Warriors underground, I told you that the world will be the same again.
I am shocked by your return."
That's right, what appeared in front of Lee was the first batch of super warriors created by the Emperor during the Unification War era, the Thunder Warriors, whose records had been almost completely erased.
These warriors were the most powerful force under the Emperor's command during the unification of Terra, but their inherent shortcomings made it difficult for them to adapt to the Emperor's future expedition plans. Therefore, after unifying Terra and creating the Astartes, the Emperor purged
Of all the Thunder Warriors, only a handful escaped and lived in anonymity in the underworld of Terra.
Arik Taranis and Guta are the two surviving Thunder Warriors. After escaping into the underground world, Arik Taranis abandoned his past, adopted a new identity, Babu Dakar, and established
He founded a gang, the Dakar Gang, which operates illegal drugs, arms, gambling, illegal food and skin and meat businesses underground in the City of Prayer. Guta is his deputy, and other Thunder Warriors have also joined his group.
Become a small collective of Thunder Warriors.
As Terra's former "cleaning manager", Li often operated in the underground world. In fact, this kind of gang was also within his scope of "cleaning", but Li saw a lot of darkness under the unification, and he had no regard for those who
Exiles and refugees usually have a sympathetic attitude and will not turn a blind eye if they make a big fuss. Sometimes he will even secretly provide food for those poor refugees who have to hide in the underground world due to taxes or debts.
and medicines.
This may be based on a mentality of atonement. His father established the greatest empire, but slavery and oppression do not seem to have reduced much. Many slave owners in the past were still slave owners, and nobles could be executed and tortured at will.
Our own subjects and poor people will still be poor after reunification...
In an accidental operation, Li bumped into several Thunder Warriors and fell into Babu Dakar's trap after tracking them all the way. However, he escaped at the last moment due to his astute reactions and analytical skills.
But he did not call for reinforcements. In fact, as one of the earliest genetic warriors, Li had met many high-level commanders of the Thunder Warriors and even knew a few of them. He also sympathized with these abandoned warriors and immediately expressed his
identity of.
At first, Babu Dakar did not trust him, but as time went by, after discovering that Li did not pursue the truth and would often help the poor, the two parties established contact and gradually became close friends.
After the Battle of Terra, Babu Dakar gathered all the remaining Thunder Warriors, moved to a safer area under the cover of Lee, and began to use the gene seeds he obtained to research and solve the genetic defect problem of the Thunder Warriors.
..
Babu Dakar never angered the Emperor because of the purge. On the contrary, he understood from the beginning that he was just a tool that could be used and thrown away. As long as a replacement appeared, he would inevitably become history, and Horus
The Rebellion allowed him to see the Emperor's failure, which gave him a strong sense of mission——
The empire was forged by the hands of the Thunder Warriors, so when it falls into pieces, the Thunder Warriors will also rebuild it!
More importantly, with Li's help, he finally cracked some of the secrets of the gene seeds and used related technologies to eliminate most of the Thunder Warriors' flaws.
As the emperor's child, Li became their natural follower. At the same time, Li's resourcefulness and strategic ability also deeply impressed Babu Dakar. He saw in Li the former emperor's rebuke.
Qiu's Shadow may not be that powerful, but the Emperor doesn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy often.
Babu Dakar firmly believed that Lee was the one who could regenerate the Empire, and that the original bodies and their descendants were just a group of monsters that almost destroyed the entire Empire. It was under this circumstance that the two sides formed a de facto subordination.
relation.

"It's not bad. It's much better than those unstable metal implants before. It can indeed effectively improve the condition and premature aging of newly transformed soldiers, but the side effect is... they become more aggressive, especially against living people.
, we have been transferred more than a dozen times, each time because there are no living people in that world. Fortunately, this is the edge of the galaxy, and there are not many eyes and ears from the empire, otherwise things may not be contained, and the body is metalized.
The problem is still not solved, but it’s much better than premature aging.”
"Show me the warriors."
Hearing Li's words, Guta nodded, then turned on the communicator, and the doors approaching the bridge opened one by one. A group of soldiers wearing ancient black MK2 power armor, who were taller than ordinary space warriors, walked neatly.
As they walked in, there were thousands of people at a glance. Even because of their appearance, the temperature of the entire bridge began to drop sharply.
And the symbols on their chests are ominous omens of lightning splitting their skulls.
Looking at this murderous team, Li let out a grunt of satisfaction.
"very good."
He turned to look at Babu Dakar.
"Do they have new names?"
"Not yet, isn't this waiting for you?"
"Then, since their mission is to rebuild the empire with thunder... let's call them Thundercast Warriors."
After Babu Dakar read it twice, he nodded and praised:
"Okay, this is a good name. From now on we will be Thundercast Warriors!"
"Then we're going to set off."
"Where are you going?"
"Gray-white witch Gu."
"Isn't that... a place filled with aliens?"
"Yes, we are going to find a group of businessmen to buy some weapons and equipment needed for the next operation. In addition... we can also get some help."
"Alien?"
"The Stryxis are a group of aliens who hate the Eldar the most. I have already met their envoys from the Sienese Convention. They are willing to trade with us."
"Now that you have made arrangements, let's go."
Li turned around and gave orders to the crew members near the huge operating platform.
"Calling all ships, subspace jump in twenty minutes."
