Chapter 461: Shocking the Master of the Furnace
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Bell Harry, Psyker Lin Heng from the Fire Covenant Chapter of the Astartes."
The brief self-introduction puzzled the Eldar and the navy. The psykers could understand it, after all, they had experienced the actual psionic skills, but the Space Marines?
"Astartes..Space Marine..You?"
Lieutenant Colonel Harry took a half step back and looked around. It was no wonder that he and the Eldar were full of doubts. After all, Lin Heng had no power armor on him, and his figure was nothing like those tall warriors.
Wearing a pure black tight combat suit, and with a full-coverage helmet, he would look like a Vindicare assassin from the Assassin's Court.
"It will be shown later how many Imperial soldiers are left on the space hulk and what the situation is now."
The lieutenant colonel waved his hand to invite them, and while dozens of soldiers around continued to guard the gate, he led the joint forces into the armory.
Following the other party's introduction, Lin Heng also had a general understanding of the space wreck. This ship received a transfer order from the Sharnasqua region and formed a fleet with other ships to go to the star region that would later become the Somnim Disaster Belt.
After they arrived at the designated location, they launched a fierce naval battle with the Chaos rebels. Several huge space hulks destroyed the Imperial fleet in one fell swoop, and the Imperial fleet was completely destroyed.
Lieutenant Colonel Harry didn't know much about the situation on the ground. Anyway, after fighting for several months, suddenly one day the entire starry sky began to shake, and the unreal evil force descended on this poor star region.
It is said that that bastard Black Legion General Abaddon had cooked up something terrible, and the entire star sector fell apart in an upside-down rupture and became a distorted object of the evil magic of the warp.
Because the cruiser was too close to the space hulk at the time, it and other imperial warships were destroyed and damaged by the evil Supreme Heavenly Magical Power, making it impossible to escape and could only drift with the flow.
During this drift, a large number of Eldar soldiers landed on the ship to look for something, but they underestimated the number of Chaos creatures in the wreck and the horror of the damn magic steel cables.
In order to survive, both sides had to abandon their prejudices and unite as one to fight against the great enemy of chaos.
The lieutenant colonel was no longer clear about the battle in the disaster zone behind. After drifting for several months, the tens of thousands of crew members gradually shrank from tens of thousands to thousands, and finally to the 800 people scattered around.
This was the result after they occupied the arsenal. There was a shortage of food, water, and medicine. In short, they managed to hold out for a while despite the shortage of everything.
As a result, quite a lot of people were killed. Now there is only one living person left on the Eldar side, and he is still emotionally unstable. He is guarding the gate of the settlement platform in Area C with 200 naval soldiers and a bunch of Eldar robots.
However, the situation of the ships was almost the same, but the situation of the disaster zone was still unknown. For this, Lin Heng could only place his hope on the Eldar pirate prince Ngur, and the other party's expression seemed to say, come and ask. Eldar pirate warriors, star dart cannons, pirates are a mixed bag, they have all kinds of stuff. "I have a general understanding, salute you."
Lin Heng greeted the lieutenant colonel and his men with military etiquette, and all the naval generals, without exception, waved their hands and expressed their feelings.
"My alliance with the other two tribes was a coincidence and a necessity of the situation. There is no conflict of interest among the three of us, and we are even on the same front.
The Tau wanted to go to the engine room to take the energy module, but this group of Eldar pirates received a distress signal and came to reclaim the Eldar's legacy.
After I help them accomplish their goals, I can convince them to take you off the wreck, or at least pick out a pristine world for you that is untouched by humans."
Lieutenant Colonel Harry nodded to show that he understood. Some things did not need to be said explicitly. With a sigh, he reluctantly unwrapped the cloth, revealing his face which had been so distorted that it was impossible to look directly at it.
With foresight, Ngur saw the alienated face, every eyelid of which was twitching, and the face covered with pus-filled pus looked disgusting.
Especially the proud elves, who couldn't bear to see themselves become like this. Ngur even touched his cheek and stood a little further away.
"Brothers, there is no way back. Some of you have grown a third arm, and the rest of your organs have also proliferated to varying degrees. Now we have become mutants that everyone hates."
"So, going to a primitive world that no one knows about is your best destination. Being self-sufficient will at least give you time to dilute this sad and lonely atmosphere."
"No..." The lieutenant colonel shook his head and said, "I don't want to watch my old friends die around me one by one, but I will ask the soldiers what they think."
Lin Heng nodded to show his understanding. If it was before letting him go, he would have wanted to continue persuading him, but now... everyone has their own aspirations, so just saying it once will be enough.
"For the Empire."
"For the Emperor."
Lin Heng signaled the lieutenant colonel to introduce the road to the engine room to Yuanjian and the others, then signaled to Engul with his eyes, and the other party walked over with his arms crossed and smiled.
But when he saw Lin Heng sitting carelessly on a pile of empty ammunition boxes and looking at the stuck shells all over the ground, Engul seemed to have some mysophobia. He picked up a piece of iron sheet and cleaned it up twice before standing over.
Seeing that the other party was still in this state, Lin Heng felt that this spirit man was quite honest, and maybe they could really become some kind of close friends regardless of age difference.
"You hid it well enough, but it still couldn't escape my eyes. I could sense from your eyes and reactions that there was something wrong with you, but I didn't expect you to be a psychic.
To be honest, I don't know what your psychic energy level is, but your control over psychic energy is absolutely the best I've ever seen. Judging from your small achievements, you are probably not an unknown person, right?"
This time it was Lin Heng's turn to show a meaningful smile, as if to say, guess what.
Although Ngur hated his surroundings and crossed his arms as if to protect his body, he still insisted on his own style and maintained his self-esteem.
Lin Heng saw through it but didn't say anything. He thought that this guy really didn't seem to be hiding anything, so he might as well just bring it up and talk to him.
"The Titanium Clan... a small race that knows nothing. There is no need to continue communicating. Whether you open your eyes or close your eyes, you are just fighting among your own race. Although you and I are also like this, it is much more profound."
These words touched Engul's heart. Although he was a friendly person, his identity as an elf essentially made him feel proud of being a superior race.
"Of course. After wandering the starry sea for thousands of years, if the information is not updated enough, then what's the point of being a pirate...Forgive me."
"That's true, so what information do you want to provide me, or what news do you want to get from me?"
Ngur was silent for a while, then he looked up and down at the man in front of him and said confidently, "How about this, no lies, one piece of news for each of you, pick the most interesting ones."
"Death Guard First Captain Typhons died within Tau territory, all my fault.
Did you know that the Dark Eldar's stronghold, Comoros, was destroyed? This is largely due to me.
Do you know Ahriman of the Thousand Sons? I have the most powerful of his nine spirits.
I entered the Black Library, and the God of Laughter, the patron saint of the Harlequin Troupe, met me. He asked me to move closer to the northwest of the Extreme Star Region, saying that he needed to use me to accomplish something.
So, I want to know as much as possible about the dark side of the empire, but I don't know what this information can be exchanged for in your place."
Lin Heng revealed a lot all at once, but there was silence between the two of them, followed by heavy breathing from laughing to coughing. Prince Engul bent over and pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time.
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…hahahahahahahaha…Sir Asuyan, this is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
Oh, I killed Typhons. Ah, I was responsible for the Dark Eldar's rout. Well, I had something to do with Ahriman's death. Ha, the Laughing God of the Black Library asked me to help.
Hahahaha, does He want you to help find the Death God Army and complete a political alliance to fight against the Chaos enemy together? "
It’s not that Prince Ngur didn’t believe it, but there were very few people who knew about these people, places, and events. He only knew them all because of his experience as a pirate.
Several big figures from major forces were killed or injured in one go. No one would believe it. However, Engul thought again, since his own Void Dreamer said that the problem came from humans, maybe he was not lying. However, no one dared to believe it.
"The Death Guards... those stinky bastards deserved to die. Typhons' name has been famous for thousands of years. Although I have never fought him, I know I can't beat him."
Ngur frowned in thought, and his crossed arms were replaced with one hand folded horizontally and the other hand supporting his chin.
"I have heard about the destruction of Comoros. Those dark Eldar defected to the Ark Eldar Death Army, but the other side did not say a word about how they were destroyed."
"The situation here is quite complicated. Anyway, I will explain two terms for you to understand. First, the third Primarch of the Empire, Leman Russ, attacked Comoros. Second, the reason for the destruction of Comoros was mainly due to the soul stripping of the Lady of Thirst."
As soon as that unique term appeared, Engul's back straightened up a little. The news about the third Primarch was indeed very important, but the term "Thirsty Lady" had a greater impact on him.
"You know this?!"
Lin Heng nodded without further explanation. However, after hearing the name of the Eldar's archenemy, Engul didn't want to hear more about what happened next. The fact that the Dark Eldar were still alive was really thanks to Victor.
"Ahriman...Ahriman...I heard from the Harlequin Troupe at the Dark Straits Base that the Thousand Sons Warband has been eyeing the Black Library for a long, long time.
And since you said that the remnant soul fell into your hands, it must not be you who killed the other party. Considering that you later entered the Black Library..."
Ngur sat on the ammunition box, staring at Lin Heng in front of him, and said with some speculation and some certainty:
"The God of Laughter has taken action?"
Lin Heng felt that this guy was worthy of being an antique who had lived for thousands of years. He was able to connect the clues together in such a short time, which showed that he was really capable. However, he had even more powerful information, so it depended on whether the other party could bear it.
"Do you know why you have such strange feelings towards me?"
Lin Heng's shrewd look brought Engul back to his senses. He immediately pretended that everything was as expected, and said, "I'm so happy. I ...
"Although I have some experience with the Void Dreamer's divination, it is more because of my experience and sharp eyes."
"Heh." Lin Heng sneered, then pointed to his left arm with his right hand and said, "It's bones. My bones are made of spiritual bones."
Prince Engul's eyes widened, but before he could react, the message conveyed by the thin sword pulled out from the warp immediately made him stand up in a panic.
The next second, the familiar feeling from the bones with flesh and blood attached under the cut skin could not shock him any further, because he was now dumbfounded.
The elves, who claim to be a superior race, are indeed more sensitive to emotions than other races, and their thresholds are several times or even higher.
And his current dazed state also reflects the shock that Engul suffered, which really exceeded every aspect of his thousands of years of life.
"Ah...Ah...Asuyan is above!"
As expected, words alone are not enough. You have to come up with something that can truly impress the other party. The spirit bones that were transformed in Comoros are one of them, and the Eldar artifact obtained from the big treasury is another one.
Prince Engul, who prided himself on being elegant and proud, could no longer control his expression. With his mouth wide open, he stretched out his arms to touch the glow of his tribe's weapon.
However, after a flash of the knife, one of the ninety-nine divine weapons forged by the gods of the elves was placed on Engul's neck.
"Don't worry, it's your turn."
"Um...Hmm...Wait a minute, let me sort out my thoughts..."
Lin Heng didn't care about the other party's sharp eyes at all, and then put the "Bo Dang" back into the subspace pocket.
Prince Engur was now truly convinced, and his slightly arrogant expression disappeared completely. In the end, he revealed the whole situation of the Somnim disaster belt in a daze.
As mentioned before, the leader of the Black Legion, Abaddon, led the army to attack the Dark Angels' Monolith Stronghold, causing the Primarch Lion Jonson, who had been sleeping for ten thousand years, to awaken. With the appearance of the Primarch, the Dark Angels were thought to be a staged victory for the Empire to win another battle, but as another protagonist in this battle, Abaddon's allies would not easily agree.
On the one hand, although the Lion King exiled Angron, the demon primarch who was killing people everywhere, on the other hand, he allowed the newly promoted demon of the Warp, the leader of the Creator Sect, and the Lord of the Soul Forge to complete the activation of a certain artifact.
The rebels won this victory, and Chaos contaminated another star region.
And now, Lin Heng finally knew the power represented by the furnace and the identity of that demigod.
"Vashtor..."
