98: Diel Johnsen

While players were still reeling from the shock of the Emperor's grand blueprint, everyone on the game's official website hoped to be the first to see the new plot. Thus, almost everyone kept a close eye on the website's updates.

Consequently, as soon as Yang Gao started his live stream, the room instantly surged to the trending lists of major platforms, its popularity overshadowing all other hot topics and shooting straight to the top spot.

As soon as players entered the stream, they began spamming the chat:

"For the Omnissiah!"

"Offering a fortune for an STC - Standard Template Construct!"

"Long live the Second Empire!"

Yang Gao looked at all of this, feeling a bit secretly pleased. This time, the old man Emperor couldn't say he was slacking off, right? Look at the soldiers he'd trained; every one of them was full of spirit. And most importantly—kick that guy shouting "Long live the Second Empire" out.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Which of the eighteen Legions are we going to reveal today?"

To build suspense, Yang Gao even put on a show by setting up a spinning wheel. Of course, this was just for show. Things proceeded as expected, following his planned trajectory.

"Old Chen, is your internet that bad? How long has it been and you're still not connected?"

"If you're so capable, you try it. With so many people squeezing in, the official site hasn't even fixed the servers. What do you expect me to do?"

Chen Mo and the other two fiddled with the computer and finally managed to enter the live stream. Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

Concerning the mysterious and glorious Dark Angels Chapter.

In the late stages of the Unification War, the First Legion, the Dark Angels, had already been active on the stage of history as the first Astartes. However, their first true action was in a war of loyalty and purging that was erased from later history books—the "Battle of Mount Ararat," or as it's also known, the "Thunder Warrior Purge."

This was the First Legion Dark Angels' first real operation; they, along with the Custodes, became the executioners of this battle.

To speak of the First Legion, one must mention their Primarch—he is the Lion of Caliban, the Grand Master, the shaper of the First Legion, "Lion El'Jonson."

"Why do I get the feeling he's a man of few words and very taciturn?"

"With this man's aura and his titles, why do I feel like he's a bit like a medieval knight?"

When the young Lion was scattered across the galaxy along with his younger brothers by the waves of the Warp due to the schemes of the Immaterium gods.

The Lion was cast onto Caliban, a death world thick with forests near the Eye of Terror and heavily contaminated by Chaos. He lived alone in the wild for decades before finally being adopted by Luther of The Order and named Lion El'Jonson. In the Calibanite tongue, this meant "Lion, Son of the Forest."

After entering human society, the Lion learned and mastered all the knowledge he could access with terrifying speed.

"Brothers, this is where Uncle Roboute would say again: isn't this just standard procedure for a Primarch? (doge)"

"I feel like the elder brother should be honest and reliable, but the current Lion El'Jonson gives off a feeling I can't quite put into words."

Growing alongside time was the Lion's terrifying combat prowess as a Primarch. Simultaneously, the Lion and Luther planned a Crusade together to completely eradicate the Great Beasts lurking in the forests, so that the people of this planet could enjoy a happy and stable life.
