Farr - an inconspicuous star system in the realm of the Empire.
It is no different from other agricultural worlds. They all originated from the Great Expedition after the "Unification War". They were the "cheap harvests" discovered by the expedition fleet after recovering important human civilization worlds.
But this is only the official information displayed by the empire. It is also the one-sided "truth" that any citizen who has the right to consult the history of the empire can see in the vast sea of books under the City of Vision.
And if a person is lucky enough to enter the ruling class of the empire, he will have a chance to get a glimpse of the truth that has not been hidden in history in the empire's secret library before he is shot.
This is the history of the Seventh Legion Astartes, and in the eyes of the Sons of Dorn, this inconspicuous galaxy has another name with a sad meaning - "The Sorrow of Yonad".
The Retribution Fleet is the name of this fleet.
As soon as they learned of the Horus Heresy, they stopped their return to Terra.
The Primarch Dorn ordered Jonad, the master of the fleet at the time, to split a third of the fleet and divert it to Istvan to launch a retaliatory attack on the rebel legions.
When they traveled to Farr, they encountered a subspace storm deliberately launched by Chaos.
The fleet suffered heavy losses in the chaotic energy, and nearly one-third of the warships disappeared in the wave of subspace.
The former top leader, Fleet Admiral Jonard, remains in the void here forever.
After his adjutant took over the military power, the remaining fleet was trapped in the Far Queen. During the long preparations for the war, they ushered in their old enemy - the rebellious Primarch, the Lord of the Fourth Legion, personally led by Perturabo.
fleet.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
What's more, two legions that have been in conflict with each other since their birth, and are now standing on opposite sides of loyalty and betrayal?
A fierce interstellar naval battle began, and both the remaining fleets of the Imperial Fists and the corrupted men under the Lord of Steel paid an extremely high price in this cruel war.
The status of Farr is therefore special, because the blood of loyalists and traitors was shed here equally.
After the Great Rebellion was completely over, it was once again recaptured by the Empire.
Thanks to the efforts of the Imperial Fists at that time, this galaxy, supported by a low-value agricultural world, quietly became a place of pilgrimage for the Imperial Fists.
Farr, agricultural world, sanctuary world.
With a population of 80 million, it enjoys first-level tax exemption.
This is the first world that Calvin and his fleet entered after officially entering the "Gothic War Zone".
But now that he and his fleet are still drifting in the subspace, the imperial subjects and foreign invaders here are engaged in various battles and struggles around him and another thing...
"Have you been contacted?"
The slender bone-white battleship was embellished with black stones, and on the battleship full of streamlined alien aesthetics, a low and ethereal voice asked.
The alliance formed by the two arks has been staying in this star field for several months. As the leaders, the prophets have become increasingly difficult to suppress the protests of the clans.
The invasion of lower-level races did not initially cause much reaction in the clan council, but people will always die in war, and every member of the clan is so precious.
The strategic goal has not been achieved for a long time, which has caused great pressure in the hearts of the prophets.
And their enemies are not just these lower races, accidents are also happening constantly.
Those ancient enemies awakened for unknown reasons and violently intervened in their war with humans.
As time went by, the leaders of the clans and clan warriors gradually became aware of the hidden purpose in the orders.
So the voices of protest gradually began to appear in the meeting, but for some reason, the prophets were unable to tell them their true purpose...
"Have you been contacted?" Alstin asked again.
Not surprisingly, he still received a negative answer from the tribe warrior in front of him.
"Sorry, I haven't been contacted yet.
The monkeys are well hidden and there are no obvious loopholes in their defense...
We don’t have enough time and manpower, and if your order cannot be exposed, we can only issue it intermittently with the help of the normal instructions of the Phoenix Lords."
Morphy, the tribal warrior, stood in front of the prophet, answering the latter's questions while thinking.
The warriors under his command did not account for the majority of this operation, but were only one of the troops on the ground battlefield.
Despite the prophet's endorsement, it is still a thorny problem to carry out the prophet's mission quietly at a time when Phoenix Lords and clan leaders are filling up the military command.
Especially the monkeys here are quite troublesome as expected.
As the exclusive guard of the Prophet Council, his interactions with the human empire were not once or twice.
But he never imagined that he would encounter a complete Astartes force in such a remote world.
The positioning of this Astartes is also extremely difficult - in the empire of the monkeys, they happen to be a special force created to fight against alien civilizations in its short history.
Alien civilization... Morphy thought slightly to himself, but was immediately reminded by the stinging sensation of the mask on his face.
In the tiny energy jumps, the spirit made his skin feel pain, and with this "reminder", he once again pulled away unnecessary emotions and maintained the "battle mode" exclusive to the Eldar.
(ps: As the earliest intelligent race created by the ancient saints, the Eldar race’s average IQ is indeed much higher than that of humans.
As an inevitable shortcoming of a highly intelligent race, their emotions are also too rich.
One of the characteristics of this overly rich emotion in their lives is their overly rich perception ability and equally rich empathy.
)
beep... beep... beep...
A crisp and chiming sound sounded behind the two of them, and it was accompanied by a melodious and complex string music.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two of them silently counted the beats of the melody and the rhythm of the chorus, and thus came up with the information expressed in this "notification" from the flagship.
Holtzgrund?
Is this how humans named the cities where they live?
Alstin muttered this word silently, but his mind was thinking about the current progress of the war situation.
The forward troops have captured the upper level of the hive city known as "Holzgrund".
The resistance there is still stubborn. Three standard time units ago, while maintaining a relatively complete organization, they retreated into the underground urban structure in an orderly manner.
Flood zone, number 11-72-18-19.
The two Eldar did not have a deep understanding of human numerical logic.
But judging from the serial number of this number and its location in the nest, there is not much room left for the monkeys to resist.
The apparent tactical goal is almost achieved, but there is still no news about what really brought Alstin, the representative of the Prophet's Council, here.
Can't wait any longer!
Their eyes collided slightly, and they immediately reached a tacit understanding.
If we wait any longer, the clan leaders responsible for commanding the battle here will inevitably give up the battle here because of the casualties caused by street fighting and strangulation.
Once he makes a decision, he will release the destructive weapons here in the name of the commander.
Then with the death of the last monkeys, what they are looking for will really disappear forever!
"Go!" Alstin ordered in a low voice, and Morfi also picked up the weapon beside him.
Time was of the essence, so the two Eldar tribes did not communicate. Instead, they separated and walked to different flight decks.
Alstin must go to the ground battlefield headquarters as soon as possible to delay the clan leader's decision as much as possible.
Morphy, on the other hand, will take his most trusted subordinates and sneak into the lower levels of the Hive City alone without alerting any of his friendly forces to find the group of monkeys known as the "Death Watch"...
