Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

After a while, the [Fallen Angel], who had removed his power armor and weapons, was brought to the Lion King by the veterans.

Lion, wearing [Lion Armor], stood in front of the Fallen Angel, and a hint of incomprehensible light flashed in his dark gray pupils.

"I remember you, [Dreadwing] Sergeant [Zahariel]!" The Lion King calmly revealed the true identity of [Lord Cypher].

"Great Lion King, I'm glad you still remember my name!" Zahariel knelt on one knee to Lion to show his loyalty.

"Zahariel... why did you betray the Dark Angel?!" A hint of cold light was reflected in the Lion King's pupils.

Faced with the terrifying oppression from the Lion King, the words that came out of Zahariel's mouth surprised everyone present.

"My great father, you are actually the betrayer!" Zahariel's words were full of seriousness.

This "traitor" hat directly caused the Lion King's brain, which had just recovered, to fall into a short downtime.

Except for the Imperial Regent who had seen through everything, the expressions on the faces of the Dark Angels present were all confused.

The Lion King, who had come to his senses, began to accuse the Fallen Angel of betrayal, and Zahariel responded with extremely clear logic.

After an awkward mutual accusation, the Lion King and Zahariel, who had calmed down a little, began to review the situation when the Caliban Rebellion occurred.

…

During the glorious Great Crusade ten thousand years ago, Zahariel was the think tank of the Dark Angel Legion Dreadwing and also Luther's first deputy.

When the rebellion that caused the mother planet Caliban to fall apart occurred, Zahariel and Luther were both bewitched by the artifact Ouroboros.

But unlike Luther who insisted on going all the way, Zahariel quickly regained his consciousness with his psychic talent and his firm will like a rock.

At that time, Luther had already assembled the rebels, and Zahariel planned to unite the loyal Dark Angels and Dark Watchers to crush Luther's betrayal conspiracy.

But before Zahariel could put his ideas into practice, the judgment from the Lion King had already descended on Caliban.

Almost at the same time, two Glorious Queen-class battleships and a huge fleet of more than three digits launched an indiscriminate orbital bombardment on the Dark Angels' home planet.

After the bombing, whether loyal or traitorous, as long as the Dark Angels stayed on Caliban... they were all included in the category of fallen angels.

The loyal Dark Angels did not know why they were attacked by the Father of Genes and why the younger generations of the Legion would hunt them down?

The loyal sons of the Lion King could only run around in confusion, grievance and anger. In the long time... this small group of loyalists finally came to the conclusion that [their father betrayed them].

This dramatic truth made Lion and Gaiovis fall into a long silence.

Ten thousand years ago, only a small number of Astartes, including Luther, really started the rebellion...

And the [Caliban Rebellion] that split the First Legion was just a dramatic misunderstanding.

Such a heavy truth made Gaiovis fall into silence! And the suspicious [Lion] would certainly not easily believe Zahariel's one-sided words.

But after weeks of investigation, the rebellious Lion King had to accept this dramatic truth.

The split of the First Legion was due to the wrong choice of [Lion King]! And the ten thousand years of pain suffered by [Fallen Angels]... all originated from Lion's suspicion and mistakes.

The suddenly awakened Lion decided to pardon the sins of [Fallen Angels], but a small number of warriors led by Zahariel refused the Lion King's gift.

Justice delayed cannot be regarded as true [justice] at all! ! !

During the ten thousand years of being hunted by the [Dark Angel], Zahariel's hands were already stained with the blood of countless Empire warriors.

As early as the moment they were named [Fallen Angel], they could no longer go back! !

"Father, our faith is no longer pure!" Zahariel sighed, "The glory of the warriors is gone! And we don't intend to pray for forgiveness from the Empire and mankind."

"Our last wish is to see you hold the [Lion Sword] again!" Zahariel handed the black sword that he had never left to the Lion King with a solemn look.

"I'm sorry, great father! When we found the [Lion Sword], it was completely broken into two pieces! Maybe... [Salamander] will have a plan to repair this weapon."

Looking at the [Lion Sword] that was broken into two pieces, Ryan's always indifferent pupils revealed a hint of inexplicable light.

The ten thousand years of watch of the fallen angels made Ryan feel deeply shocked!

After a short silence, the Lion King came to Zahariel.

"I saw your perseverance!" Lion put the broken [Lion Sword] back into the scabbard, "You have not tarnished the glory of the [Dark Angels]."

"But we are no longer [Dark Angels]!" Zahariel stared at his hands, "My hands are already stained with the blood of the Empire's warriors! Our souls... are destined to never return to the great [Golden Throne]!"

"But in my heart, you will always be loyal Dark Angels!"

Witnessed by the [Imperial Regent], the Lion King announced the final verdict on [Zahariel].

The [Fallen Angels] with blood on their hands should have faced death!

But for this group of loyal warriors who have been watching for ten thousand years, the Lion King has given them the greatest mercy within their authority.

Zahariel will lead more than a hundred [Fallen Angels] to launch a [Atonement Expedition] full of blood and death.

These loyal warriors will go deep into the [Eye of Terror] without any supplies and fight a desperate battle with the Chaos Demons and Betrayer entrenched there.

This will be an expedition with no return!!!

Zahariel and the loyal Fallen Angels will use their lives to offer their final loyalty to the [Emperor] and the [Lion King].

The Fallen Angels did not express any dissatisfaction with the Lion King's decision.

For this group of noble warriors who have been watching for ten thousand years, it is a great gift to be able to welcome a glorious death in the war as [Dark Angels]!!!

The [Dark Angels] returned the confiscated power armor and weapons to the [Fallen Angels].

Under the Lion King's gaze, the Fallen Angels boarded a small battle barge named [Lion's Glory].

The [Subspace Engine] began to roar, and the warship branded with the Dark Angels' emblem slowly sank into the crazy sea of ​​souls...

The Fallen Angels proved their loyalty with their actions!!! May their souls stand beside the [Golden Throne]!
