One standard Terra week after the end of the mourning, Soshyang waited for the second group of guests who came to express their condolences-the mother group of the Astral Knights, the Fist of the Empire.
When the huge storm bird landed on the platform, what appeared not far from Soshyan was the famous company commander of the Empire Fist, a legendary warrior, Danat Lysander.
Soshyang doesn't know much about this distant mother group. The Fist of the Empire is one of the eighteen start-up battle groups, ranking seventh, and the original body is Roger Dorn.
Since the era of the Great Expedition, the army has been regarded as one of the most loyal battle groups to the emperor, and has led the construction of the Terra Palace. After the Horus rebellion broke out, the Fist of the Empire remained loyal, and The darkest hour helped maintain the unity of the empire with its tenacious resilience.
Due to the great achievements of the Fist of the Empire, especially its active role in leading the defense of Terra at the end of the Horus Rebellion, it was also awarded the honor of "Guardian of Terra" and became the only one who could be permanently stationed in Terra and directly in Terra. Regiment on the conscription.
During the second army establishment period, the Fist of the Empire was also split and reorganized according to the Astarte Scriptures, forming several new battle groups, and in the following ten thousand years, they continued to form new subgroups.
In terms of the number of subgroups, the Fist of the Empire is second only to the Extreme Warriors, but Soshyan also doesn't know when their battlegroup was formed. This history is strangely lost.
In any case, at this time, Soshyan felt a little relieved to see the people in the mother group.
At least their sacrifice has not been forgotten.
As the huge body walked out of the storm bird's hatch, a bright yellow was added to the gloomy space platform, and the tall Terminator led an honor guard straight towards Soshyang.
Every step of theirs is uniform, even the severity is the same, as if they are going on a military parade.
When they reached a distance of five meters from Soshyan, the Terminator stopped, and the guards behind him also stopped at the same time, as if they were alone.
In the hiss of the air valve, the Terminator took off his mask, revealing a face full of scars and vicissitudes, but still firm and strong, the service nails and silver hair on his forehead flashed with a metal-specific luster under the light.
Danat Lysander, an interstellar warrior who has gone through countless blood tests, has been fighting for the empire since his service and has never retreated.
In the battle of the colonial bridge in 567.M40, Lysander persisted in defense and performed well, finally successfully suppressing the chaos traitors.
After becoming the second company commander of the Empire Fist, he took the lead in launching an assault on the Ada battleship "Kane's Blood." The Fist of Grace was handed over to Lashande, and in the following two centuries, Lashan
De led the first company of the Fist of the Empire to be active everywhere, and raised the supreme glory for the entire battle group.
But unfortunately, it came quickly. The "Shield of Courage" strike cruiser, where the first company of the Empire Fist was located, disappeared in the cyberspace. Although the entire group of the Empire Fist had prayed for this day and night, nothing about "Courage" The positive clues of "Shield of the Shield" have not been found.
The Desperate Fist of the Empire pessimistically acquiesced in the fall of Lysander, they put him on the list of the dead, and erected a statue to commemorate him in the Hall of Valor.
After nearly a thousand years, the Shield of Courage returned to the real space, but the narrow road to Yuanjia is that near them are the defense points established by the Iron Warriors on the edge of the Eye of Fear.
The strike cruiser was shattered under the concentrated firepower of the enemy's three orbital fortresses. Lashande was one of the few survivors, but was also captured.
In the following weeks, he was severely tortured by the steel warrior, but the company commander did not succumb. Like the arrogant but fearless Empire Fist in history, Lysander never accepted his defeat.
The steel warrior made Lysander went through another month of torture, but the latter finally seized the opportunity to break free from the shackles. Without weapons and armor, he smashed a path with his fists and his body and stole one. After the interstellar shuttle, it slipped away.
After learning the news that Raisander is still alive, the whole group of the Imperial Fist was extremely excited and eagerly welcomed the return of the hero.
In the following months, the chief pharmacist, think tank, and priest of the battle group used all the techniques to inspect Lashande, and even detailed every part of him, but no matter whether it was in the body, mind, or mind, they did not find it. A trace of depravity.
After that, Danat Lysander was again elected as the first company commander of the Empire Fist Terminator, and he was also the oldest member of the battle group. At that time, all the members of the Empire Fist were not before the disappearance of the Shield of Courage. born.
When such an immortal legend appeared in front of him, Soshyang couldn't help being a little excited and nervous, but he is now the commander of the battle group and must maintain his manners.
So he chose to take a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Soshyan Alexei, the sixty-ninth commander of the Astral Knights, welcome you, a company commander, Danat Lysander."
Lysander clamped the helmet to his waist, his legs slammed together, and gave a standard military salute. The guard behind him was still there.
"Dannat Lysander, on behalf of all fighters of the Fist of the Empire, pays the highest tribute to the victims!"
After the ceremony, Soshyan and Lysander walked side by side to the monument.
Looking at the towering black monument and the huge number [771] on it, Lysander's gaze was solemn, as if looking at the Hall of Valor on the mountain array, while the speakers on the side were still playing the names of the war dead.
After staring silently for a long time, Lysander said loudly:
"You are worthy of the blood of Roger Dorn! You are worthy of the glory of the Legion! Your sacrifice is the eternal testimony of the loyalty of the Seventh Legion! We are proud of you, and the Hall of Valor of the Mountain Range will always extol your name! !"
As he said, Lysander raised his fist suddenly, as did the guard behind him.
"The original body is above, for the glory of you and the Lord of the Earth!"
"The original body is above, for the glory of you and the Lord of the Earth!"
This shocking roar is not only the fighters of the Fist of the Empire, but also the fighters of Soshyan and the invaders group-this is the inseparable connection between the mother group and the sub group.
After the condolence was over, Lysander invited Soshyang to be a guest on his ship, the Shield of Courage.
Although was a guest, there was not too much red tape, and the two parties only had a conversation in a heavy atmosphere.
"Did your former team commander take the initiative to request an assault?"
"Yes it is."
After getting Soshyan's reply, Lysander frowned.
"IMHO, this doesn't seem sensible."
Soshyang was speechless, there were many things he couldn't say and he could only briefly state the course of the event.
Lysander sighed, got up from the huge chair, walked over to Soshyang, and gently pressed his shoulder.
"In any case, something has happened, we can only face it."
"Yes it is."
Soshyang nodded.
"As the commander of the battle group, no matter how bad the situation is, I must find a way to rebuild the battle group. This is my responsibility."
Looking at Soshyang's hopeful gaze, Lysander knew what the other party was suggesting. He shook his head and said helplessly:
"Because of the rebellion in the Maelstrom area, Mars has recently tightened the management of the Eleven Tax, and we do not have any extra genetic seeds to support your reconstruction."
Lysander suddenly leaned down and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear:
"And... the situation may be far worse than you think."
Hearing these words, Soshyang's heart shuddered.
The Fist of the Empire is stationed in Terra all the year round. They are the most sensitive battle group to Terra's political wind, and there must be no falsehoods from their mouths.
"How bad is it?"
"A new battle group has been formed, and the High Lords Council has issued a letter of appointment after receiving the news here."
At this point, there is no need to say more.
Lysander straightened up, looked at Soshyang's somewhat gloomy face, and encouraged:
"Dorn's descendants will never be discouraged by a momentary failure. Have you given up, young man."
Soshyang raised his head, almost gritted his teeth and said:
"no way."
"Very good, then I suggest you hurry back to the battle group monastery, take care of everything, if necessary, the Shield of Courage will personally take you back to the battle group home planet."
