God Emperor’s Angel of Death

In response to Luke's accusation, the voice was just a sneer of disdain.

"Stop being hypocritical, talk like a traitor, what are you still struggling with?"

"He will tell us somehow after all."

This is Pallas's voice.

"Brother Pallas, you know I am not a traitor! I never intended to betray Imperium!"

The voice continued to surround Luko, one after another, through accusations , Pierced his soul.

After every ridicule, he became more and more angry. If they were to kill him only by imaginary betrayal, then he would not easily give in and let them do what they wanted.

"I did nothing wrong! I am a glorious Astarte!"

"You are nothing!"

Unfamiliar The voice was mocking him.

"You are just a sinner who dared to abandon the light of the God Emperor. A cruel destiny is waiting for you."

"I never attacked my compatriots! Or you are too stupid, Didn't see clearly?"

A hand came out from the darkness and grabbed Luke by the throat.

Although he can't see it, the heavy and painful gasp reminds him that the trachea that has been hit hard is likely to shatter this time.

"If you talk nonsense again, I will kill you!"

The stranger also became a little angry.

"Let him down, Yazdan."

The third voice sounded, but it was more gentle than the first two.

"I'll take care of it."

The big hand on the neck loosened, Luke fell heavily on the cold metal floor, groaning in pain.

"The interrogation is over, can you talk to me about your past, just chat."

A peaceful, soothing but hollow voice sounded in his ears. Luke slowly straightened his body, tried to stand proudly in front of the interrogator, and showed his fearless determination in front of their questioning.

He began to narrate his past.

When he joined the Soul Drinker Chapter and became an Astarte Order, he faced various tests, many of which were about life and death.

And now, he has the same determination to face the unknown.

He told the people about the secret meeting between the veterans and his role in it.

Luke mentioned the Holy Lord and his “herd”, and the lie that they were told that their actions were authorized by the Chief Chapter, and even until Gorge appeared, they didn’t know that they had already Was tried.

He even confided his inner secrets.

Although in order to inspire his men to pretend to be warlike, Luko himself does not like war. He loves peace more. He has no interest in fighting and killing. Being Space Marine is just Out of duty.

Then they asked Luke tirelessly again and again, but he answered the same every time.

Once again, he tells why he didn’t continue to follow Salperdon—he hated the brother’s crippling, and also disgusted with the think tank’s embrace of Power of Primal Chaos. He didn’t want to go with it, even if It is to face death.

But he didn't want to die in shame.

Following his narration, Luke felt that the hostility in the dark was fading.

Suddenly, the lights started to light up. This time it was from an external light source—the spheres inlaid on the walls of the room started to glow.

At the moment the lights came on, Luke covered his eyes, only to see the interrogator standing beside him.

"You are very courageous, Captain Luke."

Pallas looked at him with a smile, the previous evil spirit has disappeared without a trace.

"If what you say is true, then your crime can be reduced a lot."

A priest in black armor is staring at him, but still with a tone of scrutiny. At the edge of the hall, there was a man standing against the wall. His iconic long halberd impressed Luke.

"What I said is true."

Luke endured the pain from all over his body and said as sincerely as possible.

"Are you sure?"

"I never lied."

"But there will always be the first time."

"Luke Brother did not lie."

A voice came from behind the priest, and the black-clad interrogator turned around and saw a great and noble silhouette standing at the door.

The Battle Armor on his body is more gorgeous than others, shining with jumping rays of light, and holding a lance with strange rays of light shining in his hand.

Luke recognized him immediately, the chapter leader of Astral Knight Chapter, Soshian Ariksha.

I also recognized the lance in his hand-the sacred relic of the soul drinker, the soul spear.

Soshian looked at him and walked in front of Luke step by step.

"Company Captain Luke, under the witness of Soul Spear, after interrogation, I am willing to believe that your soul is still noble and pure."

Hearing these words, Lu Ke darkly relaxed, but Soshian's next sentence made his heart rise again.

"However, the crime of treason is irrefutable. I will not take back what I said before."

"I—"

"Don’t worry about it. To defend, listen to me, Luke Brother."

Soshian stared into his eyes.

"Next, you will hear a huge secret. This secret is about yourself, all soul drinkers and Astral Knight, and even the entire Imperium. Instructor Sol chose you , I have also observed you, and I hope you can understand the great responsibility contained in this secret."

Hearing these serious words, Luke took a subconsciously step back, and he faintly noticed, Soshian’s secrets are very likely to be heaven shaking, earth shattering once they are said.

"I... still have a choice?"

"Sorry, no."

After that, Soshian slowly revealed the secret of Eleven Legion .

Luke listened, first shocked, then fear, then confusion.

By the end of Soshian, he had been numbed by the terrifying truth one after another.

The company commander of the former drink soul stood in place, like a sculpture. He didn't know what to say or what to think.

Soshian looked at him, slowly raised the spirit spear in his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Luke Jimili."

Heard himself Luke's spirit rebounded slightly, he looked at the spirit spear in front of him, slightly nodded.

"Would you like to take on this important task again, be loyal to God Emperor and mankind wholeheartedly, wash away the shame of the past with blood, rebuild the 11th Legion with me, and take Imperium and mankind from the abyss of darkness Save it!"

Luke shook his body twice. After hesitating for about three seconds, he slowly fell to his knees and bowed his head in salute.

"Luke Gimli, for the God Emperor, I will die forever."

"Chapter long, he has not completely withstood the test..."

Pastor Yazdan seems to have some opinions, but Soshian replied firmly:

" Pastor, suspicion and doubt are not allowed in Chapter. We must be united or we will get lost in the way forward. In...the tragedy of the soul drinker cannot be repeated."

He, who hated the traitor so much before, was able to change now, thanks to Thor's exhortation.

He and Soshian spent three full days discussing the topic of "stance", the purpose is to hope Soshian can understand that not everyone’s will is firm, not everyone Their positions are rock solid.

Accepting these warriors who have been apostasy is Soshian becoming the 1st Step of Legion.

Tolerance and flexibility are also a lesson he must teach.

That's why his attitude towards Luke is very different.

"Chapter is as long as you wish."

Yazdan was nodded and stepped back.

Soshian put down the spirit spear and extended the hand to Luke, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Welcome home, Luke Brother."

Luke looked at him and slowly extended the hand, but Soshian grabbed his palm and removed him from Bring it up on the ground.

"Thank you for your trust, Soshian fights...Legion is long."

When Soshian's shoulders stiffened for a moment when he heard the last three words, he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders. It suddenly became extremely heavy.

Can you really lead a Legion?

Soshian in the heart asked secretly.
