Loyalty is the best reward. This is Lion El'Jonson·Aiur Jonson's lifelong creed.
As First Legion, Legion Commander grew up on a planet under a feudal system. The quality of loyalty ran through his childhood.
As the first Primarch, Jonson was made by Emperor into a brave general with noble qualities that Hogg does not have.
Primarch's top-ranked force and command skills make him the backbone of Imperium. Only Horus can surpass him in this aspect.
Lion has a very distinctive character. He is independent, calm and rational, brave and decisive, and can be called a perfect leader.
But every Primarch has more or less strange shortcomings, and the noble Lion is no exception.
Jonson possesses qualities that make him a leader, but when these qualities are excessively increased, it will only create a arrogant king.
If Russ is a wise man disguised as a beast, then Jonson is a beast disguised as a civilized man, Caliban the bloodthirsty and violent the Lion in the jungle.
First Legion led by Lion is one of the strongest legions and has many black technologies and little secrets, so no Xenos can stop them during Great Crusade.
Until they met Xenos named Rangdan.
Aiur Jonson, who was sitting in the ship, looked at the battle report of the First Legion and became thoughtful.
As the spearhead force of Great Crusade, First Legion met the expanding Rangdan clan in this starry sky many years ago.
And based on the wreckage left on the battlefield, they discovered a surprising fact.
This Xenos named Rangdan uses a lot of human technology and can even invade the communication system at that time, but this is a phenomenon that has never been seen in previous expeditions.
And their technological level is even stronger than Imperium, with a complete technological tree belonging to them.
During the dissection of Xenos, they found that this Xenos can enslave other races and also possesses extremely strong individual combat capabilities.
There is not only one race among the enemy's corpses, which means that Rangdan has grown stronger by relying on its ability to enslave.
The most important thing is that they actually feed on humans. Rangdan Xenos sucks human flesh and blood, treating them as captive meat animals.
In order to eliminate this disgusting race, First Legion mobilized a large number of troops, vowing to destroy this Xenos creature that should not exist
The warriors of 8th Chapter gathered at Forge World, flew to the planet Xenos near Spinner-Morse, and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign.
When the two sides encountered each other, they engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. Under the command of Ulian, relying on their absolutely superior strength, they fought to the death against Rangdan.
But Rangdan's strength was not inferior to that of Imperium's legion. In the end, Paragon could only rely on the collision and self-destruction, sacrificing 10,000 legion soldiers to win.
But what First Legion encountered that time was only Rangdan's outpost troops, and it did not harm Rangdan's roots at all.
Until today, 20 years later, First Legion once again met Rangdan Xenos who should have been eliminated.
But this time it is not just an outpost. Rangdan has formed a super fleet comparable to Great Crusade to invade the territory of Imperium.
Faced with this kind of Xenos that could threaten Imperium, First Legion launched a fierce war of attrition, but the power of a mere legion could not fight it.
Even if Dark Angels has many black technologies and the largest number of troops, it can only guarantee that Rangdan will not break into the blockade.
Countless soldiers die at the hands of Xenos every day. First Legion has already suffered heavy losses. It is only a matter of time before the blockade is torn apart.
Helpless Lion could only report to Terra, asking Emperor to send more legions to destroy this group of Xenos that should not exist, and Emperor chose Blackwatch.
Jonson didn't know much about his brother. He only learned from Magnus's words that he was an "elegant and easy-going" Primarch.
Moreover, Blackwatch has always been mysterious and is considered by everyone to be the same military police force as Space Wolves. It is only through its recent support for Barbarus that it has become somewhat prestigious.
But since it is Emperor's arrangement, Jonson can only believe in his loyal father and hope that Blackwatch has the ability to destroy these Xenos.
Today was the day when the promised reinforcements arrived. Looking at the starry sky, the unyielding Lion felt tremendous pressure for the first time.
At this moment, a huge door suddenly tore open in the void at the rear defense line, and a huge and strange fleet protruded from it.
It is said to be huge because the fleet of Blackwatch directly filled the nearby starry sky.
And weird? To be honest, if the friendly force identification hadn't shown that it was Blackwatch, Jonson would have let First Legion fire.
Just because there are a large number of Eldar ships mixed in this huge fleet, as well as the weird Bio-ship, and the weird Bio-ship is also wrapped in a layer of pink fur.
Jonson, who had excellent eyesight, could even see the swaying of the fluff, and there were many creatures walking through it, which made him feel physically uncomfortable.
"No wonder, Blackwatch has never acted with other legions."
The dumbfounded Lion looked at the fleet on the opposite side and sighed inwardly for the first time.
Soon, Hogg came to the First Legion's battleship and saw his nominal eldest brother.
Although it was the first time they met, the two of them did not exchange pleasantries and went directly to the topic, exchanging information efficiently.
Jonson introduced the special characteristics of Rangdan to Hogg in detail, emphasizing that they must be eliminated.
Hogg explained the composition of his legion to Jonson.
This time Blackwatch spent all their wealth. In order to obtain better combat power, they had to hatch 14 Hive Ship battleships before they came here.
The total number of personnel is 120,000 Space Marine, 6.7 million Auxilia, 800 ships of various colors, and countless Zerg.
Jonson, who is good at keeping secrets, did not delve into Blackwatch's little secret. After all, these were reinforcements sent by Emperor, and he could not doubt his brother's loyalty.
"Jonson, how much did your legion lose?"
"Nearly half. This time, Rangdan Xenos's large force came. First Legion can only basically maintain the battle line. They are very strong."
Hearing the proud Lion admit that his abilities are insufficient, one can imagine how tragic the battle situation was.
Hogg lost his usual playful smile and ordered Blackwatch's troops to join the defense line to help First Legion, who was already exhausted.
The fourteen Fluff Warship ships were scattered on the planet where the defense line was located. The Blackwatch warriors among them were tightly wrapped in thick armor. With the help of Psychic Network's control, Zerg's empty head capsule was dropped on the battlefield.
And he took his own guards and followed Jonson to the front line. He wanted to see the opponent's fighting style in person.
But as soon as Hogg arrived at the front line, he saw a huge celestial weapon firing.
That's Attack Moon from Rangdan.
Hogg, who saw such a weapon for the first time, could only sigh:
"Grass!"
