Finally, the man ran up behind the beast, howled, picked up its tail, which was as heavy as an iron chain, and swung it hard.
The beast, which was larger than a Leman Russ tank, was thrown away and smashed into the jungle, breaking more than a dozen towering trees one after another.
The two hunters were stunned.
No one would see a man over three meters tall, covered only by leaves, running out, throwing out a beast the size of a Leman Russ tank, and remaining calm about this series of scenes.
Especially the giant that jumped out of the forest was showing its fierce look, baring its teeth and howling in the direction where the beast was thrown away.
He looks more like a beast.
But while the man was baring his teeth, a memory suddenly emerged from his mind.
Through this memory, the man understood what civilization is.
He survived like a beast in the forest until he met a group of people who taught him civilization.
The man shut his mouth and faced the beast with dignity like a warrior.
And during this period of vague recollection, the beast had already come out from another direction, and slapped the man's head hard with its huge palm, causing the man's upper body to tilt back.
The man gritted his teeth, grabbed the beast's mane, pulled it over its head, and slammed his head against the beast's head.
What happened next was like a hammer hitting a watermelon.
The beast's headless body shook a few times and fell to the ground.
The two hunters were in a daze when the man rushed out. They didn't react until they were stared at by the fierce eyes and quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you for helping us!"
"Thank you!"
The ferocity in the man's eyes quickly disappeared. He looked at the two similar people and asked them: "What are your names?"
The hunters were puzzled by this question. They didn't know why the man asked for his name first at this time.
But since he asked...
"My name is Sutik, sir."
"My name is Harlem."
The two hunters said their names one after another.
The man nodded after hearing this, suddenly feeling familiar. This was the name he often heard in his memory.
Unremarkable and featureless, it was as if their father casually muttered a few syllables when naming them... but it sounded particularly close at this time.
"What about you, sir?" Sutik asked.
The man was really stunned by the question. He stood there and thought for a long time, trying to find his name from the broken memory fragments.
"Ryan."
The two hunters were a little surprised when they heard this.
"Ryan? Lion? This name really suits you."
"I'm sorry, sir, Harlem didn't mean that you are the same as a beast, but that you are brave and have the strength and courage of a beast."
"..."
After listening to the two hunters talking for a long time, Ryan turned around and picked a few wild fruits from the trees next to him.
He didn't know why he was so proficient, as if he had made his home in the forest before. Anyway, he could tell which fruits were edible and which ones were not.
The two hunters also benefited from it, but they really found the fruit Ryan found hard to swallow.
Ryan didn't care. He sat on the corpse of the beast and gnawed on the fruit. A question came from the chewing sound: "Where is this place?"
Sutik immediately stepped forward and sat next to Ryan, and took out a small, square box from his pocket.
When the button on the box is pressed, the star map projection is released from the box.
"This is Karis, our home." Sutik pointed to a galaxy.
Ryan looked at this galaxy and found that he was in a straight line from the place called Terra in his memory, but the distance was too far.
Among the territory markers on the star map called the Imperium of Man, Karis is the northernmost.
"There are so many stars." Ryan took a bite of the fruit and asked curiously: "So where is Caris among the stars?"
"At Tyrone's Gate."
Sutik said.
"Defense Zone No. 1."
Chapter 483 A Little Special Planet
……
After filling his stomach with fruits, Ryan was brought back to his residence on Karis by Sutik and Harlin.
The residence is a fortress city.
There are solid bastion-shaped walls surrounding the city, and countless artillery fires are bombarding the tide of beasts that are rushing towards the walls.
I don’t know why those beasts are so crazy...
Ryan saw those huge tank-like beasts attacking the city wall in groups, as if they were being commanded by something.
The hunters told Ryan that they were sent by the city to find the beast's lair, but they couldn't find it, but it didn't matter, anyway, the beast was not about to invade the city.
The hunter took out his communicator and said a few words.
Then a transport plane flew out of the city. Its heavy artillery and heavy blasters repel the beasts that were gradually surrounding Ryan and the others. Then it loaded up Ryan and the two hunters and flew back to the city.
When the transport plane landed on the tarmac, the hatch opened.
A thick and dissatisfied voice came into the hatch.
"Gunship aircraft should be used for defense, including transport aircraft converted into gunships."
A man close to Ryan in height walked towards the tarmac, surrounded by several City Defense personnel.
The moment he saw this person clearly, Ryan's brain roared, and he stayed in place, and more memory fragments emerged from his brain.
The hunters saluted the approaching man.
The man was tall and muscular, wearing rough black armor, with a sword with wings adorning his chest and shoulders.
That was obviously a Space Marine.
At least it was before.
After seeing Ryan clearly, the Space Marine was stunned for a moment, then pulled out both guns and opened fire.
The movement made by Ryan's huge body was as sudden as the movement of the Space Marine's gun. He instantly dodged two bombs and rushed in front of the Space Marine. When the Space Marine just put his hand on the sword, he punched hard with both fists. Hitting the sides of the ceramite helmet.
The ceramite helmet was cracked by the impact, but Ryan obviously held back his strength.
The Space Marine felt as if his head had been hit directly by Ryan. His brain shut down for two seconds, and his body fell to his knees weakly.
He was not dead. After regaining consciousness, he still tried to shoot, but was pinned to the ground by Ryan with one hand and unable to move.
"Let go of Commander Zabriel!"
"You crazy beast!"
The soldiers near the tarmac rushed over immediately, their bodies covered in power armor bowed slightly, and they raised their rifles that could fire atoms and molecules and aimed at Ryan's head.
The two hunters who brought Ryan back were also targeted.
But no one fired, because it seemed that the person pressing down on the commander was not an enemy, but...
A Primarch.
Ryan heard that the person he was suppressing was called Zabriel, and saw that Zabriel, whom he was suppressing, had a high status in this city, but he still did not let go until someone scolded those hunters. It was the traitor who brought the enemy back, so he roared and refuted: "The one I am suppressing is the traitor!"
Ryan's memory goes back to the eve of Caliban's destruction.
Zabriel wanted to kill him, whether it was in the past 10,000 years ago or now, Ryan remembered it clearly.
"fraud!"
A dull sound came from the Space Marine's helmet, and the words that followed stabbed Ryan's heart like a knife.
"You are the traitor! You betrayed Caliban! You betrayed the Legion! You betrayed the Empire!"
"Bullshit!"
Ryan roared.
"Nonsense? Then where have you been for these ten thousand years?"
"You ask me? I would like to ask you where you have been and what you have done. How can a Space Marine live for ten thousand years? Are you the same as the original body like me?"
"Caliban! The warp storm at that time! We only escaped from the warp four hundred years ago. We are being hunted down for the good things you have done. Once we are found, we will be subjected to the most cruel excommunication!"
"What nonsense! Ten thousand years ago I returned to Caliban from Terra, and you opened fire on me!"
"It was you who ordered us to Caliban and then the fleets were firing on us and our brothers landed ready to fight us. The first time I caught a glimpse of you in years was when you slaughtered the new recruits of your own home planet! They were wearing No. The first real battle for the armor of a Legion was against their Primarch and his executioners!"
Others couldn't understand what Ryan and Zabriel were talking about.
Only the senior officials who came with Zabriel and those who had studied the history of the empire knew that they were arguing about what happened when Caliban, the home planet of the first Primarch, was destroyed ten thousand years ago.
After talking to Zabriel for a few words, Ryan suddenly stood up and let him go.
Zabriel was freed from the weight of the Gene Father, stood up and took two steps back, shaking his shoulder armor to massage the painful shoulder.
The two looked at each other.
After a long silence, Ryan looked at his heir in amazement: "What the hell are you talking about?"
……
After a while.
In a tavern in the city, Ryan and Zabriel sat face to face.
There was a glass of wine in front of both of them.
Zabreel stared at Ryan fiercely.
