The First Legion Had No Secrets!

The Volian Sandstorm has existed on Alert Star for countless ages because its core region contains a "Alert Fortress" built by humanity during the Dark Ages.

The Alert Star, it seems, got its name from this.

Sandstorms with extremely high salt content can dehydrate the human body in a very short time, not to mention the terrifying speed of sandstorms, which is enough to tear muscles apart!

The extremely high radiation levels here have made this place a forbidden zone for life on the Alert Star.

Alvin and Hilda were only able to barely enter this restricted area thanks to the protection of their armor, but armor alone is not enough to penetrate deeper into the core area.

"What a huge sandstorm! Visibility is completely blocked." Alvin struggled forward. Even with the "Sky-Shaking Unicron" scanning mode, it was difficult to find the Alert Fortress in the vast expanse of yellow sand, given the wide coverage area.

"Didn't you have any general idea of where you were before you came here?" Hilda stared at Alvin in shock. "Don't tell me you barged in without knowing anything?!"

"Uh..." If it weren't for the armor protecting him, Alvin's face would probably have turned bright red. He tried to defend himself, "I'm looking for it, aren't I? What's the rush!"

"... I overestimated you."

Hilda covered her face, her tone full of disdain. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. I'm ashamed of my emotions just a few seconds ago."

"..."

They're here, they're here.

It was that familiar sharp tongue of hers again. He'd actually missed Hilda's biting remarks after so long.

"I told you not to rush. That thing was left behind by humans Ten Thousand Years Ago. Who would have a map for it?" Alvin has already released a few "Cassette Warrior" for reconnaissance. We should have results soon.

Before long, the Cassette Warrior found an area in the sandstorm that showed signs of energy reaction.

As you get closer, you can vaguely see a giant building that is almost buried but whose outline can still be seen amidst the swirling yellow Stormfront!

In the transmitted images, Alvin also saw the outline of the giant building buried under the yellow sand, which resembled a ferocious beast with half of its body buried, baring its fangs and claws.

The exposed parts, weathered by countless years, have developed patches of rust, yet still exude an indescribable aura, as if showcasing the splendor of humanity's glorious past!

"Found it, come with me."

Immediately, Alvin led Hilda straight through the layers of sandstorms and arrived at the half-buried ruins of the building.

"This is... the Alert Fortress!"

Only by witnessing it firsthand can one truly appreciate the most brilliant and pinnacle technological achievement of humankind, its seemingly fearless, cosmic-conquering, yet bloody, ignorant, and cruel aura!

"Can you see anything, Hilda?" Alvin turned to look beside him. The peak periods of the Aeldari and humans overlapped for a very short time.

However, the Aeldari got carried away and produced the Slaanesh, causing both humans and the Aeldari to plummet from their peak.

"Are you serious?" Hilda glanced at him and sneered, "We Aeldari have lost far more than you humans. What do you expect me to see?"

"..." Alvin, who had been rebuffed again, twitched at the corner of his mouth and looked at Hilda with pity.

Such a beautiful Aeldari girl, it's a pity she only has a mouth. If only she were mute!

"Fine, I wasn't counting on you anyway." Alvin activated a few Cassette Warrior again, sending them inside to scout ahead.

I have to say, this thing is really useful!

As the Cassette Warrior entered the Alert Fortress, live footage was transmitted back.

The interior resembled a massive Laboratory, with mechanical debris scattered everywhere. Unfortunately, the research data had been eroded by time and was completely unreadable.

Even the few instruments they possessed were worn down over time, making it impossible to access the stored data or glimpse the secrets of the Dark Ages.

"What a pity..." Alvin with some regret. If only all these things could have been preserved.

Then, as the Cassette Warrior continued deeper, they found a giant building with an astronomical observatory, surrounded by countless instruments and cables.

"Found it, the Void Claw!"

Alvin immediately recognized that it was the "Void Claw" he was looking for, and also the "Black Hole Weapon" that Abaddon was looking for!

"It doesn't seem dangerous." Hilda didn't see any enemies in the teleportation screen, so she felt relieved. "Can we go in now?"

"No enemies?" Hearing this, Alvin smiled knowingly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe... they're waiting for us to walk right in."

Upon hearing this, Hilda gripped her sword tighter, a serious expression on her face, and asked, "Since you know there's a trap inside, are we still going in?"

"Of course we're going in." Alvin's lips curled into a slight smile, a hint of confidence in his eyes. "I came here for them, how could I not go in?"

"I hope you won't lie to me this time." Hilda stopped talking, focusing intently and becoming extremely vigilant. She trusted Alvin's judgment.

If he says there are enemies, then there must be!

Soon, the two entered the Alert Fortress and explored along the route taken by the Cassette Warrior.

But suddenly... Hilda became alert, gathered Psychic Power in her battle blade, and slashed it towards the darkness. The blazing flames instantly pierced through the darkness!

Boom!

In the brief flash of light, a burly figure clad in jet-black armor vanished into the darkness.

Sure enough, there really is an enemy!

Hilda gripped her blade tightly, her gaze sweeping across the surrounding darkness. Her breathing was heavy, and her voice was tinged with anxiety. "We... we're surrounded!"

As soon as the words were spoken, faint sounds seemed to come from all directions in the pitch-black Laboratory. Then, a series of burly figures appeared and disappeared in the darkness, numbering around several dozen at a glance!

The murderous intent emanating from the shadows was terrifying, as if a sharp blade was pressed against their necks, and a chill seeped into their bones.

"Alvin, you'd better tell me if you have a way to deal with them..." Even Hilda, who was usually fearless and seemed to have no courage, couldn't help but get goosebumps under this murderous intent.

Don't be afraid.

Alvin smiled slightly. Since he had come prepared to meet this group, he must have been absolutely certain of success; otherwise, why would he have come to his death?

"Gentlemen, we pose no threat." He raised his hand to indicate his harmlessness, then smiled gently, "This must be our first meeting. What an honor! I never expected to see the former... First Legion here!"

In an instant, the murderous intent in the Laboratory surged and roared like a thick, heavy wave, engulfing them like a terrifying beast!

Wh-what?!

First... Legion, Hilda's pupils contracted slightly. "They are... the Dark Angels Legion, wait, no... if they are the Dark Angels Legion, why are they hiding here?"

"You guessed right, but there's no reward." Alvin turned and smiled at Hilda, but then, as if remembering something, he tilted his head, a smile spreading across his face, "Oh, no, that's an old name. Now I should call you... Fallen Angels, right?"

Fallen Angels?

Wait, Fallen Angels!

Hilda was dumbfounded. She had thought they were Xenos, or at most a group of rebellious Space Marine, but she never expected... they were Fallen Angels!

"This is... the person you're looking for?!" She glared at Alvin through gritted teeth, wishing she could rip open his skull to see what was inside.

Even the Aeldari will remember the First Legion.

The reason is simple: to be so obsessed as to travel all the way to Commorragh, the Dark Eldar, to hunt down the legion of Fallen Angels —how could that not be unforgettable?

Moreover... the First Legion, the "Dark Angels," is renowned throughout the entire galaxy, most famously for participating in and leading the war of annihilation against Rangdan!

This battle not only made the Imperium famous, but also truly established the First Legion's reputation as the strongest legion!

Of course, whether they are the strongest is still up for debate, but one thing is certain: the Dark Angels Legion is very strong!

"Who are you?"

From the shadows came a deep, hoarse voice, seemingly tinged with surprise. "How did you know we were hiding here?"
