Warhammer: The Worst Start There Is (40k)

Chapter 146: Fate repeats itself

Views:

As a giant celestial-level fortress, the Stone Fortress is extremely large and it is impossible for the Dark Angels to fully control it.

It is divided into different areas.

On the outskirts are factories and servants' living quarters, who provide the Dark Angels with armor, ammunition, and medical services.

When necessary, they will take up weapons and fight alongside the Dark Angels.

The most core area belongs to the dark angels.

They train and live here.

In its most core area, there are also those unknown and extremely terrifying ancient creations.

Imprisoned with terrible people who might cause harm to the empire.

And now, the changelings are passing through the many outer defenses and entering the core area controlled by the Dark Angels.

It changed its form several times in succession, wandering around the Stone Fortress under different identities.

Those whose identities it took away are dead.

The body was cleverly disposed of to ensure enough time was bought.

At this moment, it was walking through the corridor and heading towards the tightly controlled prison area of the Stone Fortress.

He had only two goals.

The first was to quietly release Ouroboros, who was imprisoned by an ancient race, and use this terrifying ancient being to severely damage Guilliman.

The second was to release the prisoners deep within the Stone Fortress in order to further exacerbate the expeditionary fleet's distrust of the Dark Angels Chapter.

The changeling enjoys the act of controlling the thread of fate.

Both the expedition fleet and the Dark Angels Chapter are like puppets in its hands, bound by invisible threads of fate, dancing on the stage of destiny set by it.

Guilliman's resurgence did prevent the Imperium's collapse, but he also made those humans foolish enough to think they could fight the Warp.

Nothing can fight against chaos.

The ultimate fate of any race or civilization that wants to do so is tragic. They will turn into a wisp of ashes in endless diversity and will no longer have any reason to exist.

The Changeling walked straight past the busy servants and warriors, and passed without looking away the hurriedly running dark angels.

The disguise was so perfect that no one dared to stop it.

Many people also raised their hands to salute and show respect to it.

What a ridiculous scene.

Following the guidance of the thread of fate, he easily walked to a forbidden weapons depot.

The armory is protected by a rune-carved adamantine door, which prevents all witchcraft and supernatural powers.

Except for using the password to enter, any unconventional means will be countered and even destroy the things inside.

Two Dark Angel warriors wearing Terminator power armor looked at him with solemn eyes.

"Show me your identity and authorization documents." A Dark Angel warrior said.

"I'm sorry, I have to look for that," the changeling said, pulling out a dataslate and making a flipping motion.

In fact, there are only a few messages from the outer defense.

But the Changeling implanted an idea into the dark angel's mind, allowing him to see the authorization document he wanted to see.

"Kshu, the authorization documents are correct," the Dark Angel warrior said. "Are you here to get weapons?"

"Yes, the demons are rampant and we have to take emergency measures." The changeling said in a mocking tone.

The dark angel warrior did not hear the sarcasm of the thief crying "stop thief", but nodded in agreement.

"That damn demon," said the warrior.

Following the secret order, the two Dark Angel warriors walked to the scanning device in the armory.

The golden light swept across their pupils, verifying their identity information and physiological condition.

The Dark Angels warriors guard these forbidden weapons very strictly.

If it detects an enemy attempt to invade, it will immediately self-destruct.

A pale white light dotted the black armor of the two dark angel warriors.

The scanning laser swept through the air and finally stopped in the eye sockets of the two Dark Angel warriors, confirming that their pupils met the conditions for opening.

The embedded electronic components emitted a sequence confirmation vibration when they read the hexagram rune on the Iron Fist ceramic.

As the identity check was completed, a glowing frame appeared on the heavy door of the armory, with numbers randomly arranged on it.

A Dark Angel warrior entered an encrypted sequence that changed randomly every hour.

Another Dark Angel warrior entered a code sequence known only to three people.

The password is entered and the door makes a confirmation sound.

A series of metallic clanging sounds continued to echo.

With several bangs, hisses, and the unique humming sound of infrasound, the huge mechanical door locks were released, and the stasis field, killing aura, and impact device were also turned off one by one.

The door slowly slid to both sides, and cold air leaked out through the open metal door.

It was like a stream of water made up of white mist, slowly flowing towards the ground.

Time is slowed down by the mist, and it flows gently and slowly.

"Follow closely behind me and do not deviate from my movements," said a dark angel.

The changeling nodded, a small smile breaking across his helmeted face.

It used the same trick again, but when the dark angel turned around, it attacked directly.

Two well-trained dark angel warriors were killed directly by the demon in its unexpected sneak attack.

After all, he is a great demon under the command of Tzeentch, the god of change, and the power of the changeling should not be underestimated.

Even though he is in the real universe at this moment, the power he possesses is unfathomable to mortals.

Two bodies fell to the ground with a thud.

When he took off his helmet, his face showed fear, disbelief, and a hint of pain.

The betrayal of their comrades caught them off guard.

The changeling walked in, it cut open the space, and along with the evil etheric light, those weird low-level demons were summoned by it.

"Take everything here and give it to the cultists and prisoners. Tell them that if they want to leave the Stone Fortress, the only way they have a chance is to release Luther." said the Changeling.

Demons are cunning creatures, and nothing they say can be trusted by humans.

Demons always act superior to humans.

Those wizards who can summon demons are more like the goddess's poor lickers. They spend everything in exchange for the goddess's words "you are a good person".

But they are very respectful towards the changelings.

It’s just like how a goddess treats the rich second generation.

As high-ranking followers of the God of Change, the Changelings have a very high status in the subspace.

Any demon who disobeys it will ultimately have a miserable fate.

Many demons poured into the Dark Angels' armory and looted all those terrible weapons.

The Dark Angels have a collection of many deadly weapons from Ancient Earth, the Age of Strife, or the Golden Age that have yet to be used.

In the vaults, which have multiple layers of security and identification locks, one can find portable atomic bombs, genetically targeted biological weapons, unstable plasma devices, singularity drives, black hole annihilation devices, and even a device for timeline distortion.

The technological level of these weapons is very high, and many of them are mixed with the power of the subspace, making them even more bizarre and unusual.

The changelings did not dare to underestimate these weapons, as some of them could bring them eternal death.

It can be said that the Dark Angels have the firepower to use at will and usher in a new era of the Long Night.

According to some gossip, the Dark Angels' hoard is the last trump card of the Human Empire.

When all rescue operations have failed, human civilization can no longer protect itself and is heading towards destruction, the Grand Master of the Dark Angels will initiate the final destruction plan.

The most terrifying weapon of the Long Night will be activated, reshaping the entire galaxy and erasing the existence of every planet.

Let the galaxy completely disappear from the universe.

The changeling didn't know whether the rumor was true or not.

It tends to be true.

The Curser did a lot of tricks behind the scenes that even the God of Change didn't notice.

The cold golden sun burned away any threads of fate that might have been connected to him.

Leaving a big black hole in the long river of fate.

This black hole swallows everything and no one knows what happens inside.

The Cursed One is not as tolerant of all races as other gods.

Once humans no longer exist, the Four Gods are certain that the Curser will destroy the galaxy and even the entire universe without hesitation.

Without humans, there is no need for the universe to exist.

The curser is always so narrow-minded.

So neither the demons nor the gods liked him.

The armory is supported by heavy adamantium columns, which are designed for extinction-level events and can withstand extremely fierce artillery fire. It will remain intact even after the destruction of the Monolith Fortress.

Cables snaked across the armory deck, hidden in a mist of coolant, powering stasis fields, energy fields, magnetic locks, and power piston mechanisms.

The Changeling saw a sealed destruction machine - the Infinite Nanoworm.

A cutting-edge creation from the golden age of mankind. Only the craziest races could develop such a terrifying thing.

Infinite nanoworms can devour everything in the universe, including stars, there is no limit.

They will convert the energy they absorb into matter, and then split infinitely to form an even more terrifying scale.

At the end of humanity's Golden Age, these nanoworms wreaked havoc.

In just a few seconds, it can turn a planet into a dead place, separate the flesh and blood of billions of human lives, and devour the entire planet.

The Changelings consider releasing the nanoworms to cause some great fun for the human empire.

After a moment, it gave up.

These nanoworms can even absorb and release etheric energy.

By then, the result will be self-defeating, and once the disaster expands, no one will be able to control it.

Without the galaxy, chaos will gradually disappear.

What worries the Changeling even more is that Guilliman has been constantly promoting human technological progress during this period and has produced a lot of technological knowledge that the human empire does not have.

Maybe he has the means to control the machinery of the Golden Age.

It's sad that releasing the nanoworms failed to bring joy to the human empire and instead strengthened Guilliman's power.

The plan to inflict a heavy blow to Guilliman with the help of the Ouroboros, using those horrific creations from the Golden Age of Mankind, was at great risk of failure.

After much thought, the spirit of change gave up.

The risk of infinite nanoworms is too great, so it is better to leave them in the Dark Angel's armory.

Many demons took weapons with poor security measures and gave them to the followers of the Ouroboros Church and the wandering prisoners, further exacerbating the chaos in the Stone Fortress.

It walked straight towards a sarcophagus, which was covered by three separate energy barriers.

The stasis field device emitted a faint halo, covering the sarcophagus.

Within the range of the force field, even time itself has stopped.

What the changeling saw was the last moment when the sarcophagus was sealed into the force field. A huge hexagram was engraved on it in six different scripts, serving as the seal of the sarcophagus and the seal of the barrier.

The sarcophagus was locked with heavy chains and padlocks, each etched with a large number of etheric runes, which were used to imprison the contents.

The changeling couldn't help but feel a little frightened by what was inside.

This is a ruined artifact left over from the Golden Age.

No ancient being could describe the madness of humanity in its golden age.

In that era, human beings had already researched real physical technology to a terrifying level.

Those mysterious and terrifying creations had neither coherence of design nor unity of function.

Each piece is unique to this galaxy.

Built at the height of humanity's mastery over the laws of physics.

The weapons made by those lunatics can not only easily destroy the enemy's bodies but can even destroy their souls in heaven.

With the help of the memories he had obtained and the vast amount of knowledge he had collected over endless years, the changeling began to crack the seal of the sarcophagus.

Following a series of movements, the sarcophagus finally emitted a slight buzzing sound.

The protective measures were turned off one by one.

The light dimmed, and finally only an ancient and ordinary sarcophagus was left.

The sarcophagus was slowly opened.

The cold mist flowed, and the things inside appeared in the eyes of the changeling.

It was a weapon similar in style to the bolter used by Space Marines, but more complex and larger.

A huge gun barrel, powered by several electronic components, and several cables to connect to the human body.

It should be designed for iron men or some kind of enhanced soldiers.

This weapon has a very long history, thousands of years earlier than the establishment of the Superman Legion by the Human Empire.

This weapon already has self-awareness, or in human terms, it can be said to be abominable intelligence, AI.

It can also subtly influence the person guarding it, prompting him to pick it up and become its tool.

The Changeling controlled the Space Marine's body to pick up the weapon, and a series of binary runes appeared on the palm-sized screen.

The various components on the weapon began to emit light, and then retreated, like a self-check procedure after activating the system.

The Changeling smiled. This weapon looked ordinary in appearance, but its power should not be underestimated.

It can erase the existence of everything.

It is like a conceptual eraser, erasing everything on the object that was hit, turning it into nothingness.

This is the key to the changeling's plan.

The final thing it wants to release - the original destroyer - the symbol of destiny - Ouroboros is sealed by a group of beings beyond concept.

The Changeling picked up his weapon, and then opened more space cracks, allowing more demons to pour in, making the chaos spread even more, and attracting the attention of the dark angel warriors.

Leaving behind many demons to wreak havoc near the armory, it walked into the depths of the Stone Fortress, ready to complete the last part of its plan.

... ... ... ... ... ... .

Victory Laurel.

In the medical room.

"He's dying." The pharmacist, who had taken off his full body armor, shouted with a hint of panic in his tone.

Azrael of the Dark Angels Chapter lay on the gurney before him.

A bottle of saline solution hung on a bracket replenished the Grand Master's body with water through a catheter.

Many pharmacists helped him stabilize his blood pressure and various physiological characteristics as much as possible.

The medical robot brought bags of blood.

The entire operating room was filled with tension and panic.

"Be sure to save him." Karga said solemnly.

"We're doing our best," said a pharmacist, his tone also very nervous.

The blade used by the attacker was filled with the evil power of the Warp and was extremely vicious.

This evil force prevented the Grand Master from healing and repairing himself.

Once Azrael dies, the situation will get completely out of control.

"There's still no way the blood can be clotted." A pharmacist looked troubled. "We need more clotting cells and another IV tube for him."

A ticking robotic arm descended from the roof, extending a host of surgical tools.

A holographic projection display screen appeared in front of the pharmacist, and the robotic arm performed treatment movements as he operated.

Fresh coagulation cells were injected from all over the body, immediately slowing down the blood loss in Azriel's abdomen.

Calgar noticed that the Grand Master's wound had not yet completely healed, and it was obvious that this was only a temporary solution and not a permanent one.

The thick needle was inserted into the Grand Master's abdominal area, infusing him with oxygen-rich blood, but the rate at which the stored blood was being consumed indicated that this would not last long.

Azrael's life was hanging by a thread, his chest heaving violently, his breathing was extremely rapid, and more blood was gushing out of the wound in his abdomen.

The power of the Warp destroyed the Emperor's gift.

This prevents Azriel from clotting blood quickly and repairing himself.

"We have no way to revive him through conventional means." The pharmacist looked up at Calgar, "There is only one way left."

"What method?" Karga asked.

"Upgrade it to Primaris. The powerful self-healing function of Guilliman's Heart will ensure that Azrael's injuries are alleviated and gradually repaired." The pharmacist proposed the last treatment method.

The Heart of Guilliman is the Primarch's most outstanding technological creation, which allows the Space Marines to obtain true demigod powers.

Primaris warriors can quickly repair themselves as long as they do not suffer fatal damage immediately.

"Then let's upgrade him to Primaris. How long will it take?" Calgar asked.

"It will take half a year to fully upgrade. We can implant the Heart of Guilliman first. In this way, Azrael's life can be saved, and it will only take two or three days for him to wake up from his coma." said the pharmacist.

The Heart of Guilliman is the basis for upgrading Primaris warriors.

It is also an important organ for the 100% success of the Primaris upgrade.

"Let's do this, we need to wake him up as soon as possible." Karga said, "The situation is getting worse."

"Understood." The pharmacist said, and then ordered the servitor to prepare for the Primaris upgrade.

Not long after, the robot servant, escorted by several soldiers, brought over a sealed platinum cylindrical jar.

Various mechanical runes are engraved on the cylindrical jar.

The electromagnetic circuits glowed faintly, forming a force field attached to the tank.

Ensure that the contents inside will not be contaminated or damaged by the outside world.

The pharmacist took it and entered the password that only a few people knew.

A black ball of light appeared in his hand.

Massive amounts of data codes flowed out from the ball of light, which was extremely magical and did not seem like a product of technology.

This is the most important organ for the Primaris upgrade, the Heart of Guilliman.

Once implanted, it will combine with every cell and start the evolution of demigod.

This mysterious ball of light is made up of programmed dark matter.

It contains all of humanity’s genetic codes and complex self-evolution equations.

However, what everyone does not know is that there is also a program inside that is absolutely loyal and can be remotely shut down.

With Calgar's instructions, the pharmacist used a scalpel to cut open Azriel's chest, revealing the beating scarlet heart inside.

The Apothecary took up the Heart of Guilliman and placed it over Azrael's heart.

The ball of light draws out strands of light, slowly injects them into the heart, and as the blood flows, they combine with cells throughout the body.

Karga took a few glances, then turned and walked out.

He realized that there was no point in him staying here any longer.

It takes several hours for the Heart of Guilliman to merge with its host.

He couldn't have spent hours in the medical room.

When they walked out of the medical room, the captain of the Victory Laurel came over in a hurry.

"Sir, we should launch a counterattack immediately." said the captain, holding a data tablet in his hand, which clearly showed the casualties of the expeditionary fleet.

The Monolith Fortress and numerous weapon platforms are attacking the expeditionary fleet.

Countless light spears, torpedoes, and missiles poured out like a big net.

"Wait, can we contact the Stone Fortress now?" Karga asked, "Have they really rebelled?"

"All the information we sent was rejected by them. They are unwilling to establish any form of communication with us. Let's take action. No matter what, this farce cannot continue." The captain said, "Some preachers in the accompanying fleet have begun to publicize what is happening here. Once it spreads, the situation will definitely be very bad."

"There's a good chance that Terra will think that the Primarch is trying to clean up the Dark Angels, and the situation will get even worse."

"If we counterattack this fortress, we will really fall into the enemy's trap. Have you found the first warrior who took action?" said Karga.

After a moment, the captain spoke, "He is dead. He was ambushed by the Dark Angels and was blown to pieces."

Karga frowned, paced back and forth, and looked worried.

This was all too much of a coincidence. If there wasn't someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, he would never have believed that everything could be so coincidental.

"Sir, launch a counterattack. If we delay any further, we will suffer even greater casualties. The Dark Angels have betrayed us. Perhaps they have joined the Chaos, or perhaps they received orders from Terra. I am more inclined to the latter. There are many definitions of loyalty, and the Dark Angels simply chose Terra."

The captain stood aside and spoke.

The expedition fleet was under frenzied attack from the Stone Fortress, but Calgar was unwilling to give the order to counterattack, which made him extremely anxious.

"Wait a moment." Calgar rejected the captain's request to open fire. "Let all ships retreat and activate the void shield. We need to establish communication with the Stone Fortress."

Azrael's performance aboard the Crown of Victory gave him a glimmer of hope for the Dark Angels Chapter.

As an Imperial hero who had led many expeditions, Azrael hated the Empire's ills and would never oppose the Primarch's reform ideas so rashly.

As a top master of psychic powers, he has a deep understanding of the nature of the subspace.

There is no way Azrael would betray the Empire and join Chaos.

When the captain heard Calga's order, he showed a hint of disappointment, but he still saluted and turned around to convey Calga's order.

Only Calgar was left there alone.

He pondered for a moment and issued orders to the troops on the communicator.

"Check those suspicious guys." Karga ordered many military officers.

He had reason to suspect that his unit had been infiltrated.

Attacking Azrael and provoking infighting between the Dark Angels and the expeditionary force are extremely purposeful.

The means are despicable and simple, but extremely effective.

No matter what, Calgar had to find a way to solve this problem.

He came to protect the father of genes, but now he has dragged himself into the vortex.

If it is not handled properly, you will definitely be scolded by the Primarch.

Calgar stood by the porthole with a lot on his mind, looking at the expedition ship being bombarded by light spears and torpedoes, a trace of pain on his face.

The Victory Laurel shook a bit, probably because it was bombarded by the defensive firepower of the Stone Fortress.

Karga turned his head and looked towards the closed medical room.

"Don't let me down, Azrael."

He said secretly in his heart.

If he makes a mistake in judgment, the Primarch will be disappointed in him.

He might even lose his position as chapter leader.

Calgar bet his honor, position, and the trust of his Primarch that the Dark Angels Chapter would not side with the Regent of the Empire - the conservative forces on Terra - nor with Chaos.

After looking for a while, a communication entered into Calgar's personal database.

After reading it, Calgar left the medical room in a hurry.

He firmly believed in the loyalty and quality of the Dark Angels Chapter and had to find a way to figure it all out and put an end to this chaos.

... ... ... ... ...

In the lower corridor of the Victory Laurel.

"Traitor." A Primaris Space Marine assigned to the Calgar Expeditionary Force and belonging to the Storm Eagle Chapter looked at the man in front of him. He only had time to say the last sentence before he fell down.

His eyes were wide open and full of anger; a shameful and despicable enemy had attacked him.

The Alpha Warrior wiped the blade in his hand clean, moved the body to a dark corner where no one would go, and put on a new disguise.

He has killed several people in succession.

After successfully provoking conflicts between the Dark Angels and the expeditionary force, he has been changing his identity.

The chaos has already occurred, and the most important thing now is to maintain it.

Once Guilliman arrives, that's when the exciting drama begins.

With his new identity, the Alpha Warrior gained access to the main control room of the Victory Laurel.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

Several crew members responsible for the operation of the Victory Laurel saluted him, in response he nodded slightly and then walked towards the control console.

Through the holographic window, one can see that the expeditionary fleet is evacuating the artillery range of the Stone Fortress in an orderly manner.

"Calga is so tolerant." The Alpha warrior showed a trace of difficulty.

He thought Calgar would launch a counterattack on the Stone Fortress.

But now, it seems that Calgar is so patient that he is still trying to communicate with the Dark Angel and is willing to retreat for this.

While reading the data, the Alpha Warrior, with the keen nerves bestowed by the Corpse King, saw a message that a Stormbird fighter was trying to enter the expeditionary fleet.

Clearly, this was an attempt by the Dark Angels Chapter.

They wanted to establish contact with the expedition fleet and clear up the misunderstanding.

"We can't let them establish communications." The Alpha Warrior thought to himself.

"Order the fighter formation to attack and be alert to the Dark Angels' boarding operations." said the Alpha warrior.

"clear."

"clear."

The two crew members nearby, who were completely unaware of the crisis, clicked on the screen in front of them and ordered the fighter plane to take off.

"Stay alert and don't allow any fighter planes to approach." After saying this, the Alpha warrior turned and left.

He needed to personally destroy the Dark Angel's Stormbird fighter jets to cut off the two sides' attempts to communicate.

More than twenty minutes later, Calgar and many of his guards arrived in a hurry.

His face looked extremely ugly.

The machine slaves discovered the body of a Primaris Space Marine in a dark corner and sounded the alarm.

After checking, Karga found that someone had attacked the warrior from behind.

The weapons used and the one that stabbed Azrael were all tinged with the power of the Warp.

Obviously, there are some very important connections between the two.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that several soldiers had mysteriously disappeared.

Karga was so angry that he almost punched the console.

His troops had been infiltrated for such a long time and he had no idea.

This is a serious dereliction of duty.

Now Karga just wanted to find that bastard and punch him hard on the head.

Let the other party know what Calgar's anger is.

Following the clues, Karga traced all the way to the control room.

Many crew members were questioned.

"He just gave the order for the fighter planes to take off." A crew member said in a horrified tone.

At this moment, a shrill warning sounded.

The intelligence chief stood up in horror. "Sir, the latest news from the reconnaissance department is that the traitor you mentioned is leading a fleet of fighter planes to hunt down a Stormbird fighter of the Dark Angels."

"Stop it," Karga yelled, and he walked towards the control console to try to stop it.

“They’ve gone silent,” the communications director said.

"Then kill them all and save the Dark Angel fighter." said Calgar.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

This is betrayal.

The most shameless betrayal.

Dagone struggled to control the fuselage of the Stormbird.

The violently shaking fuselage plunged him into despair.

Calgar wants to kill everyone in the Dark Angels Chapter.

The Valkyrie fighter fleet is forming a hunting formation, trying to put an end to him once and for all.

"The attempt to communicate has failed, Ezekiel." Dagone controlled the Stormbird fighter and completed a roll, avoiding the bright crimson beams.

The fighter planes were chasing him relentlessly, pouring out firepower crazily, trying to completely destroy the Stormbird fighter he was controlling.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have any hope." Ezekiel's voice sounded, with despair and a hint of self-blame in his tone.

"This is my choice, Ezekiel. We had our hopes for them. This was our mistake." Dagone said, "Preserve the blood of the lion and leave with the Stone Fortress first. Go to Terra and tell everyone about this. We must all be wary of Ultramar."

After saying that, Dagone cut off the communication.

Out of a warrior's dignity, he didn't want to hear those useless words that would only bring sadness to people before he died.

There were a series of impacts on the back of the Stormbird, and he felt the joystick jerking in his hand. In response, he twisted his own plane sharply upward.

The engines protested sharply as they pulled the gunboat out of the enemy's fire.

His skill in operating a fighter plane can be said to be superb.

However, the enemy was also the elite of the empire, had participated in many battles, and had the advantage of numbers.

Dagon's defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

Glancing down at the tactical screen, he saw that the Valkyrie fighters had moved to his two sides, intending to double-team him as he gradually slowed down.

Several fighter planes also flew towards the Stormbird where he was.

The alarm sounded and the radar detected that the fighter plane had been locked.

Several lasers appeared and shot straight at the Storm Bird.

The fighter plane shook and then rolled rapidly several times.

A rapid alarm sounded.

The fighter formation locked onto him.

It's over.

This thought emerged in Dago's mind.

Balls of fire flashed across the cockpit. Dagone showed a trace of dejection on his face as he waited for the explosion that would drown him.

But that didn't happen.

A strong light suddenly appeared.

All his enemies were wiped out, turned into debris in the universe, and burst into flames.

This made Dagon, who was waiting to die, look a little surprised.

It seems that this matter is not as simple as he imagined.

The communication device sent another prompt, Dagone answered it, and Calgar's voice rang out.

"Tell me your name, Dark Angel. And why did you launch an attack on the expeditionary fleet?"

"We have been invaded, and our control network has been filled with junk code. Please give us some time. It will take us an estimated twenty minutes to regain control of the Stone Fortress," said Dagone.

"Perhaps, I should trust you again. Send a message to your colleagues. If you don't stop the attack in twenty minutes, the expedition fleet will launch a counterattack." said Calgar.

"How is the Grand Master?" asked Dagone.

"I saved a life, but it will take two or three days for him to wake up." Calgar's tone revealed a hint of helplessness. "My troops were infiltrated by Alpha. They used weapons containing the power of the warp to stab Azrael. Other Dark Angel warriors are still causing chaos on my flagship. My subordinates have forced them together. You have to stop their madness."

Dagone was silent for a moment, "I will."

The arrival of Dagoné brought a little relaxation to the two sides who were originally alert and nervous.

After receiving Dagone's order, the dark angels of the Victory Laurel also stopped the armed confrontation.

After confirming that they were fine and that there were no Alpha warriors among them, Calga ordered them to be taken to the medical room, and both sides resolved the misunderstanding.

This side of the Stone Fortress.

The expeditionary fleet was seen retreating out of range of the Stone Fortress's artillery fire rather than choosing to fight back.

The traitors who had been lurking in the Dark Angels Chapter were becoming increasingly nervous.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It is also their only chance to deal a fatal blow to the Dark Angel.

Control of the Stone Fortress will soon be retaken and will be kept more secret. It will be a pipe dream to hack into it again.

They planned for hundreds of years before they got the basic code and bought themselves seventy minutes of loss of control.

The plan to sow internal strife between the two sides was about to fail.

They couldn't hold back any longer and played their last card.

That is Boris, a member of the Deathwing Company.

While the two sides have not yet established a real communication, use the Death Wing's surprise attack to destroy the fragile trust between them.

After receiving Ezekiel's order, Boris gathered many brothers of the Deathwing Company on the deck.

As soon as the final order is given, a boarding attack will be launched on the expedition fleet to buy time for the departure of the Stone Fortress.

After waiting for a long time, no order came.

Boris had no choice but to find Ezekiel again and ask him to give orders.

However, as soon as he left the hangar, he was stopped by someone.

"For the sake of the bloodline of the lion, you must strike immediately, Boris, or they will never have a chance to escape."

The dark angel warrior who had appeared during Boris' training appeared again and issued a warning.

"Without authorization, I cannot complete this mission, and the other members will definitely not obey my orders."

There was helplessness in Boris' tone. The Dark Angels' complex command procedures ensured that disobedience would not happen.

Without authorization, it would be difficult for him to command the Death Wing Company to attack.

"We will assist you," said the Dark Angel warrior.

As he finished speaking, several dark angel warriors emerged from the darkness.

They all wore robes to conceal their entire appearance.

It was obvious that they were all traitors who had been lurking for a long time.

"It's not enough. If there are only a few supporters, the other company members won't care." Boris looked embarrassed.

"That's enough. Some of our people will cut off the communications within the fortress. Then, without Ezekiel's command, according to the procedure, you will become the supreme commander of the Death Wing." said the dark angel warrior.

"You can cut off the communication?" Boris looked a little confused.

"Of course." The dark angel warrior said, and showed Boris their methods.

As they pressed confirmation on the data pad, communications with the Stone Fortress were quickly cut off. Departments were unable to communicate with each other and fell into deeper chaos.

"The communication cutoff time cannot last too long, but it is enough." The Dark Angel warrior said, "Hurry up, this is your only chance to protect the bloodline of the lion."

"Let's go." Boris took the lead and walked towards the hangar deck, ready to give orders to the assembled Deathwing.

Several Dark Angel warriors followed closely behind.

Once the Deathwing Company's assault was launched, the outcome was decided.

No matter how rational Calgar was, he had to issue the order to counterattack.

When Terra intervenes, both sides will fight to the death.

After finishing their prayers and making final preparations, the Death Wing Company members lined up in six rows, awaiting the order to attack.

Boris walked up to them, made a death wing gesture, and then punched the dark angel warrior who had instigated him to launch a boarding raid.

The other Deathwings also rushed forward and attacked the traitors.

The speed was so fast that the traitor didn't even have time to react before he was controlled.

The power armor was stuck when the password was entered, making them unable to move and becoming prisoners.

"What do you mean, Boris?" The dark angel warrior was shocked and frightened, and looked at Boris with confusion.

Boris smiled and took out a plaque engraved with six petals.

He was also a member of the Sixfold Order, which Azrael temporarily established to find traitors.

The Dark Angels have no secrets, for they are the secrets themselves.

A circle is still a circle, and a secret is still a secret.

Just like the Möbius strip, there is no certainty as to who is the inner ring and who is the outer ring.

Seeing the nameplate, several traitors suddenly looked pale.

It was thought that with Azriel being attacked and seriously injured on the Crown of Victory, his six-fold plan had been destroyed.

Who would have thought that Azriel had such a hidden agenda behind this? Perhaps the attack on him was part of the plan.

The flowers of conspiracy are layered and it is impossible to break free.

Azrael's actions are undoubtedly a tightrope walk.

The slightest carelessness could lead to a war between the expedition fleet and the Stone Fortress.

Boris captured the traitor and also obtained a list of mortals.

However, this is not the end.

This is not a struggle between two sides, but a mixture of multiple forces.

The Ouroboros Church has been infiltrating the Stone Fortress for hundreds of years, with the ultimate goal of releasing an ancient being.

The Changelings and Alpha, who rebelled against the Imperium, were out to put an end to Guilliman.

The previous confusion is just to cover up the ultimate goal.

Boris ordered his men to capture the traitor and seize the list of names, but he didn't have time to be happy.

The violent tremors spread throughout the entire Stone Fortress, and an indescribable terrifying aura spread from the depths of the Stone Fortress.

Deep within the Stone Fortress, many Dark Angels are struggling to fight against the demons pouring out of the cracks, as well as the cultists and prisoners who have obtained weapons.

As the enemies all rush to the cell holding the final prisoner - Luther, the Dark Angels are forced to come together to resist the demons and prevent the enemy from unleashing the greatest rebellion in the history of the Dark Angels.

But the changelings, armed with weapons from the Golden Age of Mankind, take another path.

Deep within the Stone Fortress, the Changelings' final destination.

Several short, elusive dark watchers dressed in white robes lay on the ground, lifeless.

Humans in the Golden Age possessed unimaginable and terrifying technology, and the weapons they created had the ability to erase an object's timeline and original data.

The Dark Watcher is always elusive, wandering outside the long river of time and difficult to kill.

The magic of the changelings has little effect on this.

The only way is to use weapons from the Golden Age of Humanity to kill these dark watchers.

"Fate repeats itself, and what is gone will return."

The changelings took up the weapons of the golden age of mankind and moved step by step towards the final seal.

It raised its weapon, aimed at the ultimate secret guarded by the Dark Watchers, and pulled the trigger.
