Somewhere in the void of the universe, infinitely far away in physical distance, a fiery red spaceship is sailing.
It is scarred, it is not big enough, and it carries a dying Chapter.
The Phoenix Chapter has concluded their long crusade of redemption and has now been restored to glory.
The Grand Tribunal of the Eastern Star Territory, on behalf of the Empire Central Committee, personally announced this to the world.
But so what?
“We won the Hundred Years Atonement Expedition and achieved the results we wanted most, but we are about to be destroyed.”
< p>The leader of the Phoenix Chapter, Sarasmartins, always thinks sadly like this.He is the 64th Chapter Master of the Phoenix Chapter. This war group with countless glorious histories will most likely come to an end in his hands.
Before the Atonement Crusade, how did the Chapter live?
At that time, the Phoenix Chapter was glorious and powerful. They guarded their home planet and accepted hundreds of millions of mortals. The most outstanding young people are selected from hundreds of millions of people, transformed with genetic seeds, and turned into one of them.
The entire planet’s human and material resources have been mobilized by them. While they are responsible for the defense of their home planet, they will also accept the Emperor's call to travel throughout the universe to participate in glorious and great wars one after another. They either crushed the enemies of the Emperor to dust, or defended worlds that were about to be destroyed one after another.
He and his brothers are known as the Emperor's Angels.
This glory accumulated over thousands of years came to an abrupt end a hundred years ago.
Martins doesn’t resent anyone.
During the Redbud Disaster, the Phoenix Chapter was on the wrong side. Thanks to the God-Emperor's grace, they were not purged as traitors, but they were still guilty, and the Grand Inquisition sentenced them to a century-long atonement expedition.
The so-called Atonement Expedition is to allow the convicted battle group to carry out the most difficult mission with the highest casualties without supplies, troops, and support. Once a task is given, it cannot be refused and must be carried out with all one's strength until death.
The vast majority of battle groups that were sentenced to the atonement expedition often did not survive the end of the punishment time.
But the Phoenix, as its name suggests, are tenacious, and they miraculously survived the Atonement Crusade.
One cruel war after another lasted for a hundred years. These days, they are still fighting for the Empire, but there is no honor to speak of. They fight to atone for their sins and to die.
In the Hundred Years' Expedition, the chapter leader changed six times, and finally fell into the hands of Martins, a man who thought he had no talent.
In the final battle of the Atonement Crusade a few months ago, the previous chapter leader led the last elite of the chapter to launch a desperate attack. They won, but at the cost of leaving no one alive except Martins and six others who were left behind.
He will always remember the look in his mentor's eyes when he handed him the medal symbolizing the Chapter Master before charging. It was full of expectations and hope, and the future of the war group hung heavily on his chest.
He is determined to rebuild his Chapter, but doesn't know how.
Their home world has long been assigned to another war group; the fleet has all crashed, leaving only the Burning Feather, a small spaceship that is not even a frigate; power armor, weapons The bank and the gene seed bank were all lost with the crash of the flagship
Perhaps no war group has ever been able to survive worse than them.
They can only wander in the universe at a loss, floating around like headless flies.
There are indeed many forces who want to help them. However, Martins can see through the sinister intentions of those people. They just want the remaining seven Phoenix warriors to serve as their high-level thugs.
There is no glory in that, and there is no hope at all.
What Martins wants is the opportunity to rebuild the Chapter and the opportunity to continue to let the Chapter fight with honor.
It’s a pity that when it comes to these things, the people who try to help them shut up.
Some time ago, their spaceship jumped through a spiritual network tunnel and arrived at the Pegasus star area aimlessly. Just like many of the star sectors they passed through in the past few months, there was nothing special about it.
However, the chapter's chaplain came to him at this time, claiming that during his prayers, he received the hope of revelation of the chapter's nirvana and rebirth, right here.
Hope rose in Martins's heart, like a straw caught by a drowning man.
Rationally, he shouldn't believe it.
Is there anything special about the Pegasus Sector? It is an unknown sector with no special output, no glorious history, and no other battle groups have ever been stationed here.
How could the hope of the battle group's rebirth be here?
However, emotionally, he believed in this matter without hesitation.
It was only a few months, which was nothing compared to the long lives of Space Marines after transformation, but he felt that he had suffered for too long. This feeling of emptiness is even more painful than during the Atonement Crusade.
When given the opportunity, he couldn't wait to seize it.
The Chaplain of the Chapter, also his most trusted battle brother, has been back in the prayer room for two days, and there has been no movement at all.
Martins' mentality gradually became anxious.
But all the anxiety came to an end at this moment.
He heard heavy footsteps. He turned his head and saw the priest wearing the unique black power armor of the priest, with a skull-shaped helmet, and the huge shoulder armor was painted with the fiery red color of the battle group and the undead. The bird pattern symbolizes the identity of the Chapter.
He is Rizzo, the senior among the seven people who are still alive.The oldest one has been fighting in the battle group for four hundred years. He was supposed to participate in the final battle to the death, but was forced to stay by the previous Chapter Master. The Chapter needs his experience to assist Martins.
"Pastor Rizzo, you are finally out. Your prayers have come to fruition"
"Yes, Chapter Commander." Rizzo's voice was tired and a little bit... Looking forward to, "I have received a more accurate revelation, the opportunity for the phoenix to reach nirvana is right here."
The priest's finger clicked on the star map.
There is the angry owl star.
Martins looked a little confused. He searched his memory and couldn't remember anything special about this world.
He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"I'm sure." Rizzo said calmly, "The God Emperor revealed that the chance for the Chapter's nirvana and rebirth is There, it should be the governor of that planet."
Martins paced around and finally made the decision, "Okay, change direction, let's go to the Raging Owl."
< p>The revelation that Pastor Rizzo received is the only opportunity that Martins has been looking forward to in the past few months.Although he has never heard of anything special about the world of Raging Owl Star, since it is a revelation from the God Emperor, it must be a powerful governor, and he may be willing to help the war.
