After seeing off the Dark Angels, Soshyan led the team to search the planet for a full week, but unfortunately, they found nothing of value except for the destroyed former human colonies - mostly from the M37 period.
On the other hand, Talos didn't get any foresight from here, so the result was obvious.
In the end, after realizing that he had come to the wrong place, Soshyan could only lead the team to leave, but he did not return to Nessen 4, but went straight to the Sun Star Territory.
Eight years ago, the White Temple invited him to the Sanctuary Planet, but Soshyan did not go there rashly because he did not know the details of the other party.
He also went to find Brother Said, but for some reason, Brother Said fell into a deep sleep ten years ago and could not wake up no matter how many technicians called him.
Under this situation, after eight years of procrastination, Soshyan decided to see what medicine the other party was selling.
Along the way, Soshyan stayed on the command deck, fully armed as if rushing to the battlefield, standing motionless on the command seat, his stern expression sowing some uneasiness among the crew.
For some reason, the whispers of noisy conversations kept coming from the communication radio. It seemed that the empire's routes were suddenly filled with starships, and the activity in the entire star field reached a fever pitch.
As for the reason, Soshyan couldn't say.
After spending nearly three months, they arrived at Sanctuary Star at extremely fast speed.
At this moment, time has come to the Terra calendar, year 941.M41
As the spacecraft approached, the planet gradually appeared. It looked like a star at first, and then the single reflected light split into dozens, and then hundreds of smaller lights.
A fleet was moored at the high-rise anchorage of the supply depot and dry dock. The ships were all emblazoned with the emblem of the White Templar Chapter. When the Unbound Soul suddenly appeared, the entire orbit was in chaos.
Weapon systems were activated, void shields were activated, and various codes were sent back and forth.
Afterwards, the Astral Knights revealed their identities and headed straight for the planetary orbital station before the alert was completely lifted.
Soon, the battleship docked with the orbital station. After exchanging a few words with Gabor Dram, the First Captain of the White Temple who came to greet them, they headed directly to the monastery fortress of the White Temple.
Bah————!
With a scream of air pressure valves, the transport plane landed on the flight deck, and Soshyan left his seat before the engine could complete its cooling cycle.
The moment the ramp descended, a burst of industrial noise roared into the interior of the Thunderhawk.
The clashing sounds of moving metal, the whining of mechanical tools, and the endless screams of blades cutting into plastic steel all hit Soshiyang's ears.
Even though it's very open, the whole place is filled with the stench of burning metal.
The gushing sparks drew arcs, like fountains formed by lava, and with the hot wind blowing from the depths of the channel, the plastic felt as high as the flag of Titan fluttered slowly.
Workers of all types can be seen everywhere. They all wear heavy protective clothing when working. Only the servitors have the simplest goggles.
Soshyan walked down the Thunderhawk's ramp when a heavy repair truck rumbled along the central road, bringing him to a halt at the bottom.
The truck's servitor driver was connected to the cab by a wire, staring blankly ahead. A group of mechanics from the Mechanicum followed closely behind, directing their machinery to advance through remote control. An operation console was placed on the big guy's head.
The chest is connected to the meditator on the machine. The cable in the middle is like an umbilical cord covered with rubber and plastic steel, long and soft.
After the machine rattled past, Soshyan finally stepped onto the greasy deck.
The place was so dark that he thought there was a malfunction in the lighting circuit. However, when he looked at the dispatch area above, he saw that every luminous ball of the chandelier was intact.
Obviously, it was darkened on purpose.
It wasn't until his eyes adjusted to the darkness that he saw how busy the foundry area near the monastery's apron was.
Various repair teams and heavy equipment were everywhere, people shouted various commands, and a transporter was unloading the poles of the metal scaffolding. They clanged against the deck and made a long and piercing roar.
In a sense, this place is not like a monastery fortress of a battle group at all, but more like a busy battlefield factory.
Everyone seemed very urgent, and the smell of war lingered above their heads.
"Hey, I thought we were in some forging world."
Talos, who followed Soshyan down, was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.
Sanctuary Planet is not actually an industrial world, it is just an ordinary planet that has got rid of feudal society and has just entered the pre-industrial era.
"What happened-"
Just as Soshyan was thinking, a group of workers ran past him, their masks even covered with moisture from their breath, and their brass boots banged on the metal.
When they passed by, he saw a tall figure standing on the opposite side of the main road, staring at him.
And he wasn't there before.
It was an Astartes, that was for sure.
It took more than ten seconds before he recognized it. It was Mutali, the White Temple champion who was participating in the Feast of Blades.
"Mutali, is that you?"
"Yes, Chapter Commander Soshyan."
Mutali stepped forward and stretched out his hand, while Soshyan held his forearm, ceramite and ceramite held tightly together.
"I'm sorry it took so long for me to come to visit."
"The Chapter Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Afterwards, Mutali led Soshyan and others from the Astral Knights into the depths of the monastery. Although it was much quieter than the outer area, Soshyan saw some damage, although it was no longer obvious.
But there is no doubt that there was a war here.
Afterwards, they climbed the ancient stairs and took the elevator.
After about ten minutes, they finally arrived at the core area of the monastery.
Standing here, through the towering windows, Soshyan could see a monorail truck roaring past, passing through countless gates leading to various areas, including the astrology area, astrology area, weapons control area, training area and other vast areas.
, but the wartime feeling is still very strong.
In the core area of the monastery, there are huge stone carvings erected every few hundred meters, all of which are images of Astartes, standing like sentinels.
Along the way, Soshyan rarely saw other fighting brothers until they reached the assembly hall of the monastery, where many people gathered.
Most of them wear the same power armor as Mutali, but the specific styles are somewhat different. For example, their power armors are all stormy gray, and are decorated with the pattern of a two-winged manticore and a griffin, which is surrounded by monsters.
Flame, with a broken sword in his mouth.
This badge made Soshyan blink. He was no stranger to it.
Because Brother Said gave him a popular science, this is the symbol of the Eleventh Legion's former elite destroyer unit "Manticore"!
