The lights in the strategy meeting room were dimmed.
The swirling light outlines a holographic projection that covers the entire bridge.
Softly reflecting the lake images of the Black Legion's warships and fortresses.
The dynamic data showed the current situation and the strength of the army to everyone participating in the meeting.
Huron, Lord of the Red Pirates, sat in his seat.
Looking at the power they currently have.
This Chaos traitor, who once struck fear into the hearts of many Imperial troops, now looked somewhat embarrassed.
The heavy armor was covered with signs of damage.
There are more and more mechanical metals inlaid on the face.
A hideous wound across his face made him look even more terrifying.
He drummed his fingers on the table in front of him, anger, surprise and self-doubt leaking out of his violent eyes.
As the Lord of the Maelstrom, the Red Corsairs controlled by Huron have a military strength second only to the Black Legion.
As a result, Huron became a member of the empire's kill list.
Unfortunately, that represents the past.
The Red Pirates are now severely damaged. Instead of having a chance to recuperate, they are becoming weaker and weaker.
In the battle of Red Earth, the Chaos side suffered heavy casualties and was almost bled to death.
Most of the important generals also died tragically on the battlefield of Red Earth Star.
Huron also ordered the last Black Stone Fortress to crash into the Red Earth Star, allowing them to win that battle.
The Vengeful Spirit was captured by the Empire and is said to have been sent into the interior of a star, where it was completely destroyed.
After paying such a heavy price, they thought they could use the closure of the Nachmond Corridor to severely damage the empire and bring destruction to the Corpse King's kingdom.
At one point, Abaddon formulated a plan to attack the dark side of the Empire.
Prepare to seize half of the empire, then march to Terra and kill the Corpse King.
However, what happened next was like a bucket of cold water poured down on them.
The Battle of the Nachmond Corridor was a complete hoax.
From the beginning to the end, it was all a scheme of the empire.
Karga is simply a born liar.
The way that bastard was trying to save the Nachmond Corridor fooled them all.
Abaddon, Huron and others all made wrong judgments.
It is believed that the Nakmond Corridor is the lifeblood of the empire.
Without the Nachmond Corridor, the empire's destruction was inevitable.
In order to win this battle, they put in all their efforts.
The result is predictable.
The huge army suffered heavy losses on the Red Earth Star, with corpses scattered all over the ground.
Winning the Battle of Red Earth at such a heavy cost was of no avail.
The Empire built a comprehensive lighthouse system and used lighthouses for navigation, bypassing the crisis caused by the lack of star torches. It also improved the efficiency and safety of passage. The speed of the fleet increased several times compared to the past, and there was basically no crisis.
Every time a war breaks out in the real universe, the influx of loyalists makes Huron and others realize what the iron fist of the empire is.
Now they can only unite to barely achieve some insignificant victories.
The Battle of Cadia Fortress was won, the Battle of Vigilant was won, and the Battle of Crimson Earth was won.
But the more you win, the worse the situation becomes.
Back then, when Cadia had not yet fallen.
When the mortals heard their news, their faces turned pale.
When it comes to battle, Chaos Warriors mow down mortals like grass.
Now, upon hearing their news, those mortal officers cried out in fear that they would run too slowly and not get the medal of honor.
Those soldiers wearing exoskeletons and personal shields were like iron turtles and could not be chopped down.
Blackrock Fortress is gone.
The Spirit of Vengeance is gone too.
Most of the warships that remained from the Great Crusade were destroyed in the naval battle of the Battle of Red Earth.
The Wuqiong, where Huron and others were, was one of the few lucky ones.
It is just a destroyer, born on Mars ten thousand years ago.
The former Sons of Horus arrived at the hands of their original masters, the 7th Legion, the Imperial Fists, during the Siege of Terra.
Its former captain was Serekan, one of the Black Legion's raiders.
A calm and calculating officer with a talent for void combat, he died in a boarding battle with Imperial forces during the Battle of Red Earth.
Fortunately, the Inviolable was able to enter the warp according to established emergency procedures.
This action allowed it to escape the fate of destruction.
They lost many ships in the Battle of Red Earth, and even if the remaining ships were not destroyed, they were badly damaged.
The Black Legion controls a large number of demon furnaces, however, these furnaces also need to be fed with resources before they can be used.
The Empire's current military strength and support speed make it difficult for them to plunder various resources from the various worlds of the Empire.
The few resources available become precious.
When it comes to repairing ships, we can only dismantle those that are severely damaged and use the parts inside to repair those warships that are less damaged.
No one spoke in the huge strategic conference room.
Hong Suo, who commanded the battle of Red Earth, had an even more terrifyingly gloomy expression on his face.
He invested all the accumulation of ten thousand years by the Black Legion and various chaotic forces.
In the end, he found himself severely tricked by the other party.
His exquisite tactics became a joke and became part of the opponent's calculation.
It has become a powerful force in weakening the forces of chaos.
The deception of Guilliman and Calgar was appalling.
They deceived everyone.
Honsou suspected that even the Imperial forces that fought at the Battle of Scarlet Earth were unaware that the battle was a hoax.
Every time he reviewed the situation, he could see the flaws in the scam from some details.
If you carefully consider the information from all parties, you will find that the Red Earth Star scam is nothing more than that.
But at that time, no one noticed the problem.
They were all blinded by the victory that was within their grasp.
All everyone thinks about is winning.
The plan went so smoothly that a large number of demons entered the Red Earth Star through witchcraft.
Unstoppable.
The imperial defenders were forced to retreat one after another.
There is only one step left to victory.
The continuous victories made everyone extremely excited.
He had no idea he had walked into a trap.
Hong Suo was immersed in his own world for a while.
Thinking that he was about to achieve unprecedented honor, his blood was surging rapidly and he was extremely excited.
When the deception was revealed, all that was left for him was bitterness and hatred.
The other party played with him like a child, playing with him in the palm of their hands.
What a shame.
... ... ...
Heavy footsteps were heard, breaking the silence in the strategic meeting room.
Abaddon, wearing heavy power armor, walked over.
He was wearing a suit of power armor that weighed several tons. It was covered in blood and had sharp spikes stuck in the shoulder armor.
The hair on top of his head was tied together, standing high on his smooth head.
The crowd did not show any excitement at his arrival.
Under the current circumstances, no one can be excited.
The empire that was thought to be on the verge of falling apart is now thriving as if it has been reborn.
The powerful imperial forces swept across the country.
A large amount of territory was recovered, controlled and transformed.
How sad it is that they have nowhere to go except hiding in the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom.
Abaddon's plan to conquer the dark side of the empire has completely failed.
After the Battle of Red Earth, Calgar led the Imperial forces in a relentless pursuit, but they lost every battle and all strategic locations.
The sphere of influence retreated to the vicinity of the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom.
Even near the Great Rift, they found it difficult to achieve a local victory over the Empire.
The fighting power displayed by the huge fleet and the well-armed ground forces made them despair.
Abaddon walked through the crowd and sat on his throne.
The Inviolable has become the Black Legion's battle mothership.
The followers of the Dark Mechanicus also symbolically built a throne for the Great Predator.
"Magnus has been captured. Most of the former rebel primarchs have been arrested by the Empire. Only Angron, the World Eater primarch who follows the Blood God, is still active."
In the Black Legion's intelligence network, the fate of Alpha and Curze was uncertain, and Abaddon did not mention them, so he assumed they were dead.
"They are clearing out the remnants of the past rebellion, even the Daemon Primarch, and they will never let us go. Everyone will be cleared out, and no one can shake Guilliman's determination."
"We are in the Eye of Terror. If they come here, they will just die. Those soldiers will become believers of the gods in madness and chaos, and become swords piercing the empire." Huron said: "If we control the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom, we will be invincible."
"Fulgrim and Perturabo were captured in the Eye of Terror. Their strength is increasing rapidly. The Eye of Terror cannot protect us forever. Once the Empire finds a way to circumvent the contamination of the Warp, they will definitely thrust their swords into the Maelstrom and the Eye of Terror. Don't think that madman Guilliman will let us go."
Abaddon's words made everyone participating in the meeting look at each other, and no one continued to speak.
When it comes to Guilliman, no one is as calm and arrogant as they used to be.
The other party's performance finally made them recall the fear of being dominated by the Emperor in the past.
That unparalleled strategy and power made them feel suffocated.
Where would they go to find a Horus blessed by the Four Gods to fight against this Primarch who was as good as the Emperor.
Abaddon rubbed his claws before speaking again.
"This is very presumptuous, and it involves your beliefs and choices, but I have to say it. The war between the gods and the Emperor is not over yet, and they are too busy to deal with it. We must seek new power to fight Guilliman."
"We have to go to Fabius's lair. There are things we need there. If all goes well, we will get help from another force that is strong enough to fight against Guilliman."
No one objected to this.
In the past, there might have been voices of opposition, as Abaddon's words could be considered blasphemy against the gods they worshipped.
But that won’t happen now, Guilliman has already defeated all those who disobeyed.
Without foreign aid, they would have lost even more miserably.
"What does Fabius have in his hand?" Huron asked.
"A sacrifice." Abaddon said in a deep voice: "A sacrifice to a being beyond all existence. If we can obtain it, we can use the power of that being to fight against Guilliman. Only a god can kill another god."
“Guilliman is not a god,” said another Warlord, a massive skull hanging from his body and a huge book bound to his body.
The covers of the books were made of human skin, written with twisted symbols and words that had long been lost in ancient times.
Abaddon took one look at the guy, a Thousand Sons sorcerer who did not respond to his gene-father.
"Then you can try to defeat him." Abaddon was moved by the other party's rebuttal. He stroked the claws on his arm and said indifferently: "As long as you can hurt Guilliman, you will be favored by the gods. I witnessed him exert his power to fight against a will that is comparable to that of the gods, and he won. Can such strength not be called a god?"
During the battle aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Erebus released the seal on himself, freeing the ancient, nearly eternal outsider.
This is a fatal blow.
The power of the god level is enough to destroy everything, even the soul will tremble under such power.
However, Guilliman expelled the outsider, eliminated the terrifying force into thin air, and resolved a terrifying crisis.
After that incident, Abaddon had to admit that Guilliman had reached the level of a god.
Without the intervention of the gods, none of them could defeat Guilliman.
The failure of those great demons fully proves this point.
Guilliman has grown into a being comparable to the Emperor.
Unless the four gods unite again and a Horus who contains the power of chaos appears again.
Otherwise, no one can stop Guilliman.
... ... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ... .
Urum, the abandoned Eldar Crone World.
Several space stations hover in orbit, alert to possible incoming enemies.
This was once the base camp of Fabius, the ancestor of genes.
Abaddon didn't have a very good impression of this guy.
He was still bothered by the fact that the other party had cloned Horus.
Even if he was given the right to join the Dark Crusade, it didn't mean that Abaddon liked this bastard.
The other party's cloning behavior is an outright blasphemy.
Not killing that bastard was already a sign of Abaddon's restraint.
When the Carefree arrived, the defense system began to operate on its own.
The cyborgs knew nothing about the Black Legion, nor did they know Abaddon.
They only obeyed the orders of their master, Fabius.
Fabius had already fallen into the hands of the Empire and was sent to Terra with his genetic father.
They opened fire on the Black Legion's ships, incurring the wrath of Abaddon.
A world so weak now dares to resist his will.
Abaddon ordered the destruction of all living things on this world.
After a brutal battle and slaughter, the Black Legion took control of the entire planet.
Those distorted cyborgs were no match for Abaddon and his men, and were torn to pieces by explosive bombs and chainswords.
Abaddon was able to step into that twisted, cursed, life-destroying laboratory.
What Yog-Sothoth wants is inside.
That perfect body that can carry strength and will.
Allow the other party's influence to enter this universe, push the entire universe towards cancer little by little, and turn it into an unimaginable place of horror.
That horrible, unspeakable outsider will eventually devour everything.
Abaddon walked in, and when he saw the scene inside and the perfect body that the outsider needed, the Great Plunderer let out an angry growl.
He shouldn't have let Fabius live.
