Warhammer 40k: Lust of Light - Chapter 324
c314 Joe Gris’s Untamed Eagle
Jaghatai saw the pale throne again.
The huge shadow cast by the backlight seemed to cover the entire world.
The throne is like a big tree, and the figure on the throne is the main body of the tree.
Everything is sheltered in the shade beneath the canopy of trees.
He always looked forward calmly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Every time, Chagatai could not restrain his desire. He stepped on that pale road and approached Him step by step.
When Jaghatai finally came to Him, an undetectable light would appear in His eyes that had lost their vitality.
Then He reached out and touched Chaghatai’s head.
Every time this time comes, Chagatai should wake up.
After opening his eyes, Chagatai immediately looked at the sheep.
Taraskar is not a large tribe, and their possessions are very few. The nomadic people who live in pursuit of water and grass have been troubled internally and externally for too long. A behavior like Chagatai’s behavior of sleeping instead of keeping watch while grazing is usually not allowed.
Whether it is people from other tribes coming to snatch livestock, or the muskets of the Paladin Empire raiding the slave-catching team, they are a fatal threat to Taraskar.
Fortunately, Chagatai did not notice a decrease in the number of sheep after taking a quick inventory.
“Praise the Immortal Heaven!”
After thanking the barbarian god, Jaghatai began to call for his horse.
Unlike other herding children, Chagatai’s horse is the best kind in the tribe, a veritable war horse.
His adoptive father, the Khan of Taraskar, had always believed that Jaghatai had the will and body of a giant eagle.
He regarded Chagatai as the successor of the tribe. He even regarded Chagatai as the hope of liberating the grassland.
The snow-capped mountains at the end of the horizon are rolling, and the giant eagle in the sky spreads its dark wings under the sun and starts hunting again.
Wild beasts, grazed livestock and even the herdsmen themselves are prey for the giant eagle.
Jaghatai has dealt with these giant eagles several times.
Jaghatai’s adoptive father once promised the tribe’s horse archers that whoever could hunt down a giant eagle would build the best weapons and armor for that warrior, and give his mount to him as a gift.
This is a means of motivating the tribe to continuously become stronger.
There are many raptors on this grassland, but the giant eagle is at the top of the food chain.
Ordinary flying eagles can still be hunted, but the apex predator that came to the world of Joe Gris with Changshengtian is not afraid of any arrows. It can even grab a bison weighing several tons and fly high into the sky!
Jaghatai didn’t think he could defeat such a monster now.
The strange light he absorbed before climbing out of the chamber didn’t give him much power – or so he thought.
But three times in a row, he narrowly escaped death under the claws of a giant eagle, which made him particularly confused.
This time, the giant eagle still flew in his direction.
Jaghatai tensed his back, preparing to resist the giant eagle’s bullying.
But this time, the Giant Eagle’s target was not him.
There was a plain stone tablet on the giant eagle’s talons. It carried the huge stone and flew in a certain direction.
Jaghatai became nervous instantly.
He mounted his horse, whistled, and drove the sheep back along the Muhe River.
But before he returned to the tribe, he saw his adoptive father’s messenger.
“Jaghatai!”
The messenger reined in the horse from a distance.
“I’m here. What’s going on with the tribe? I saw the giant eagle passing by…”
Jaghatai was panicked.
“The Khan asked you to give me the sheep and horses, and then, this is for you!”
The messenger tossed a small object over.
Chagatai raised his hand and caught it steadily.
He looked down at his hand – it was a whistle.
For no apparent reason, Chagatai picked up his whistle and blew it.
The next moment, a giant eagle suddenly appeared next to Chagatai. It was more than ten meters tall when standing upright, and its beak was like the sharpest weapon in the world.
It lowered its head and stared at the little guy in front of it with predatory eyes.
The first moment the giant eagle appeared, the messenger dismounted and knelt down.
No one can look into the eyes of the giant eagle.
It is the king of the grassland, and the thermal weapons of the Paladin Empire cannot harm it at all. It comes from the snow-capped mountains.
Although Jaghatai was extremely frightened, he still gritted his teeth and stared at the giant beast.
After seven minutes and twenty-four seconds, the giant eagle acknowledged Jaghatai, and then stretched out its wings.
Jaghatai climbed up.
At this moment, he remembered that legend.
The Paladin Empire, which had mastered gunpowder, treated the children of the grasslands as slaves and prey.
Whether enslaving these barbarians or shooting them, it became a noble sport in the Paladin Empire.
Because the nomadic peoples on the grassland were a mess and their backwardness in weapons made all the people of the grassland unable to fight against the tyranny of the Paladin Empire.
Until one day, a pale beam of light connected the sky and the earth, and the Immortal Heaven descended.
He gave the most powerful warrior of the time an artifact that could summon the most terrifying mount.
The warrior who was renamed Yang Guo by Changshengtian drove away the invasion of the Paladin Empire at that time.
But mortals have to pay a huge price to use the power of gods. The revolutionary Yang Guo died not long after.
Although the price of obtaining this power is so high, every warrior on the grassland is still eager to get it.
The son of the grassland is not afraid of death in battle, but is afraid that he will become numb to the captivity and enslavement of the Paladin Empire.
They regard dying like this as the greatest honor.
Until now, only the Khans of each tribe knew what the most powerful mount was.
This is why Chagatai’s father asked the tribesmen to hunt the giant eagle. It was just to win the recognition of the giant eagle and let the giant eagle recognize their courage, but no one has ever done it.
Jaghatai walked onto the back of the giant eagle in deep thought.
The messenger’s obeisance is no longer to the condor, but to the person on the eagle’s back.
Enthusiasm filled the eyes of the messenger along with tears.
Jaghatai didn’t know how to respond to the messenger, but the next moment, he was carried by a giant eagle and flew towards the snow-capped mountains.
The strong wind blew past his ears, and the young primarch’s heart began to beat faster.
He hallucinated again, and he began to have the same feeling as in his dream.
He set foot on the pale road again to meet the figure on the pale throne.
He shook his head, he knew very well that Changshengtian was Changshengtian, and he should not be able to match the one in the dream.
The giant eagle brought Chagatai to the foot of the highest peak of the Snow Mountain Range.
Then the giant eagle threw him down.
Chaghatai fell hard, and the cold and strong wind turned the whole world into a hell in an instant.
The giant eagle pointed to the top of the peak with its wings, and then arched its head over Chagatai, which was climbing up.
The answer is self-evident. It allowed Chagatai to climb this straight ice peak and go to the top to see the eternal sky.
Chagatai looked at the mountain with no place to stay, just like a huge stick. He didn’t complain and climbed up without hesitation.
The giant eagle let out a sharp roar, and the snow-capped mountains began to avalanche.
The mountain that Chaghatai climbed also trembled, making his climb seem even more difficult.
The primarch made no complaint, his almost unconscious fingers digging into the grooves in the cliff wall.
This process is horribly long.
Jaghatai watched the sky darken and lighten again in the storm.
At a certain moment, he only had to turn his head to see the sea at the end of the mountains.
The Primarch finally transcended his limits and reached the summit.
The top of the peak was an open space, and in the center of the open space was a fire, swaying in the wind.
In front of the fire, “Eternal Life” sat there.
Chagatai was stunned when he wanted to see Changshengtian.
He was hallucinating at this moment.
He overlapped the figure of Changshengtian with the majestic existence on the pale throne.
