At the "lower right" edge of the Whirlpool Space Gate, about more than two thousand light-years away, is the New Human Empire, which has the widest scope. Each colony has complete "infrastructure" and its territory covers almost the entire star sector, even the area bordering Holy Terra. Pious sector.
The core of this sector was originally the 500 worlds of the Ultimate Legion, and its capital planet was Macragge, the former home planet of the Ultimate Legion.
Since Robert Guilliman was killed by the corrupted Angron, and the Ultramarines were completely destroyed by the traitors' fire attack, Lorgar Aurelion and his Legion of Word Bearers took the opportunity to occupy the five hundred worlds. And gradually evolved into the pious sector it is today.
Macragge was named Idiros by Lorgar himself.
Over the next two hundred and forty years, the Word Bearers Legion relied on the assistance of evil gods and demons and their "eloquence" to either confuse or force mortal residents to become the staunchest and most loyal believers of Chaos. .
With faith and believers, Lorgar and its Word Bearers are steadily expanding with great efficiency, and at the same time, they are also frantically building extremely alternative infrastructure.
Every hive, agricultural, and forge world has countless altars, temples, and statues of gods (the Evil Gods), demigods (the Traitor Primarchs), and angels (the Chaos Astartes).
Therefore, the Pious Sector has the most "garden" worlds. In other words, these colonies called "gardens" are all "tourist" planets used for sacrifices and worship.
Of course, not many residents of today's new human empire have the ability and leisure time to travel. Most of the time, the Garden World is used by the Word Bearers to hold grand ceremonies and carnivals.
At this moment.
The former Macragge is now within the gravitational range of Idilos.
Looking towards it from a space domain of tens of thousands of kilometers, one can observe that about 75% of the earth's surface is covered by crisscrossing mountains and cold plateaus, while the remaining part is covered by the sparkling ocean.
The environment seems beautiful, but in fact the entire planet has been severely corrupted.
The mountains are covered by various large, living, vein-like plants. The cities located on the plateaus and plains are shrouded in hazy purple and pink mist. As for the ocean...
It was indeed sparkling, but it was not blue and clear, but a strange dark red, like a "bloody sea."
After two hundred and forty years of blasphemy, Idiros has long ceased to be as "blue" and "emerald green" as it once was. At this time, "it" has completely become the filthiest and most foul-smelling new empire of humanity, but it is It is also regarded as the "sacred realm" pursued by Chaos believers throughout their lives.
After all, as long as one believes in evil gods and demons, then Idilos and the Pious Sector are the most exciting and desirable sacred realms.
Moreover, the New Humanity Emperor Horus Luperkar also tried his best to help his brother Lorgar because the taxes, resources, soldiers, gene seeds and other aspects provided by the Pious Sector accounted for about four quarters of the New Humanity Empire. Aurelion promoted the "New Imperial Truth" to the entire empire, which caused more and more empire residents to believe in evil gods and demons.
However, among the many renegade primarchs, there are actually some maverick brothers, such as Konrad Curze, and the Dark Sector who refuse to accept the spread of the "New Imperial Truth".
Without guessing, you can understand that the relationship between Curze and Lorgar is not that good. It can be said that Curze is very unfamiliar with any brother and has even had conflicts.
However, the tax revenue provided by the Dark Sector is second only to the Piety Sector, and it also actively cooperates with the empire's new policies other than Chaos Faith. Therefore, as long as Curze does not do anything too excessive, Horus will turn a blind eye.
But no matter how Horus calculated it, he probably didn't expect that Curze would surrender so easily and hand over an important sector of the empire.
In the low-Earth orbit and gravitational range of Idilos, countless aberrant warships and defense platforms are parked.
According to rough statistics, more than half of the more than 30,000 warships have spikes on the outside of the bulkheads and are painted with chaos symbols, and are affiliated with the Word Bearers and mortal scum.
Although the rest of the warships are also distorted and have chaos symbols and paintings, these warships are actually wrapped in a green "miasma". If you look closely, you can find dense "mosquitoes" surrounding them.
Are there "miasma" and "mosquitoes" in a cosmic environment filled with high-intensity radiation or low temperature and vacuum? ?
This is obviously a legion that has been directly blessed by the evil god, and most likely by Nurgle. Among all the rebel legions, the most disliked due to their personal "smell" is the one led by Mortarion. Death Guard.
According to the original battle plan, Mortarion needed to lead his descendants to the Nuthian system in person, preparing to join Angron and the World Eaters, and then launch a surprise attack on the main universe expeditionary force at the Whirlpool Space Gate.
However, no one could have expected that "they", who had the help of different dimensions and greatly shortened the interstellar voyage time, would be completely defeated in terms of speed compared with the humans in the main universe.
If the surprise attack failed, he would be beaten instead.
The World Eaters were completely destroyed, and Angron was captured for study. Even without Horus's retreat order, Mortarion would have stopped marching with "his" legion.
After that, Mortarion and the Death Guard sailed in another space for nearly six Holy Terra Days, and finally arrived at Idiros, the home of the "God Stick" brothers.
at this time.
A transport formation with cabins and wings covered with pustules and living auxiliary mouths left the Legion fleet and quickly entered the atmosphere of Idilos, heading for the equator on the sunny side of the surface.
It didn't take long.
The transport formation passed through the thick clouds and arrived at a giant city built on the northern shore of the ocean, with many dazzling buildings, towering obelisks, monuments, as well as large temples and altars.
If you just look at it without going into details, you will just feel that everything in this city is quite beautiful. The people walking on the street are all believers kneeling at altars and temples, and the believers are all wearing gorgeous clothes and laughing. Wandering among cities, it seems that the residents are very rich in material and spiritual life.
It's a pity that these are superficial phenomena...
The flight formation flew over the city at low altitude, circled in a circle, and finally landed on the tarmac in the center of the city.
Moreover, even the apron used for military purposes was built by the Word Bearers and believers to look extremely luxurious, with gold threads inlaid between the gaps in the floor tiles.
The hatch opens.
Exuding a foul stench and infested with insects and flies, the Death Guards left their flying formation and stepped on the surface of Idilos.
They were supposed to be a group of strong Astartes, but after receiving the attention of the evil god and receiving the "tough" blessing from the evil god regardless of their own will or not, the current Death Guards are all bloated, and the Tao steel armor has been... Their bodies were stretched out, and green and yellow pus flowed from the gaps between their joints.
Among this group of death guards, there were hundreds of Terminators who were dressed like they had soaked hair. Their skin, flesh, and even bones were all stuck to the Terminators.
They are the "Shrouds of Death", the Primarch's glorious guard.
As for the one who walked at the forefront of the descendants, and was also the most conspicuous and bulky, it was Mortarion whose body swelled to six meters high, surrounded by corrupted magic flies and poisonous smoke, and holding a scythe.
"Haha, a bunch of magicians."
Mortarion felt the hypocrisy and tranquility of Idiros, and when he looked at the mortals kneeling before "them", he couldn't help but utter a nasally contemptuous sentence, seeming to be quite unhappy with the environment and atmosphere here.
After all, Mortarion had criticized Magnus for his use of psychic powers before the rebellion. "He" was also one of the supporters who firmly opposed the use of psychic powers. It can be said that he was the original body who extremely hated and resisted the use of psychic powers.
However, the Death Guard Legion and the Primarch himself were marginalized by the Empire and did not receive due respect and rewards, which made Mortarion quite complaining.
But this was not the direct reason why "he" chose to rebel. Rather, it was due to the emperor's various behaviors in researching alien spaces and spiritual energy, as well as the emperor's attitude towards "him" and his brothers, that Motari Ann felt betrayed.
After accepting that the corrupted Horus used his brotherhood to amplify his resentment and doubts about the Emperor, Mortarion finally chose to overthrow the tyrant and overthrow the Empire's original system. regime, preparing to establish a new order with Horus.
However, "he", who hates different spaces and all psychic powers, was plotted by his subordinates, causing the entire legion to be corrupted. Even "he" himself was forced to make a deal with the evil god to save himself and the legion.
Although this deal included the elimination of the traitorous subordinates who plotted against "him", unfortunately, "he" and the heirs of the Legion could never go back to the past.
The originally clean and shining armor became rotten and crumbled, and the strong and muscular body turned into a bloated body covered with pustules. What is even more ironic is that after they became inhuman and ghosts, their weapons and power armor were damaged. With the strengthening of the power of chaos, the combat capability is far beyond what it used to be.
Therefore, Mortarion, who hates other dimensions, due to the corruption of his body and the suffering in his heart, has made "him" unable to have a good impression of the Word Bearers and the Pious Sector. He can avoid fighting, killing brothers, and then massacring the faith. The mortal followers of Chaos are enough to save Lorgar's face.
Moreover, "he" also knows the difference between right and wrong. At present, all brothers and all legions need to work together to solve the human invasion from another universe.
As soon as Mortarion and "his" guards and elite veterans left the tarmac, a company of Word Bearers, whose bodies were also deformed and had demons attached to their bodies, stepped forward to greet them.
Leading this company was a guy wearing exclusive Terminator power armor, with an old face and a treacherous appearance. Moreover, this guy also showed an ugly smile and said: "Dear Lord of the Death Guard, I am the Word Bearer. Kor Phaeron, Captain of the First Company, Aurian has been waiting for you at the Temple of the Gods for a long time."
“…”
Hearing this, Mortarion lowered his head and looked down at the thing named Kor Phaeron without saying a word. Due to the swelling on his face, it was impossible to distinguish the facial expression of the original body. However, through his sharp eyes, , you know that "he" seems to be very unhappy.
The end.
Mortarion still ignored Cole Phaeron and led his descendants directly forward, towards the Temple of the Gods, which was not far ahead and covered an extremely large area.
As for Cole Fallon, who was ignored, he didn't care about these details at all and commanded the company to move forward.
Soon, these fallen giants came to the square where tens of thousands of believers gathered.
Afterwards, they accept the genuflection of the believers, cross the square, and step up the steps to reach the platform that leads to the temple hall.
At this time, Mortarion signaled the guards and veterans to wait here, and "he" was going to have a good discussion with Lorgar, who was not on good terms with him but was still a brother.
But that Kor Phaeron actually wanted to enter together and was ready to listen to the conversation between the two primarchs? !
then…
"Bang!" With a sound, Mortarion swung the scythe directly at an unstoppable speed, using the back of the blade to control the force and send Cole Phaeron flying for nearly thirty meters.
"Go away, you have no business to interrupt next, you disgusting thing." Mortarion cursed.
Although Mortarion looks much more disgusting than Kor Phaeron, in his heart and mind, Kor Phaeron is one of the best bastards in the galaxy. After all, it is this guy and another "famous" one. The Word Bearers were the first to defect to Chaos, bewitched Lorgar, plotted against Horus, and then started a civil war in the human empire.
It can be said that the death of trillions of human beings has caused the power of other dimensions to expand rapidly, and the root causes of all this can be pinned on Cole Phaeron and the other Word Bearer.
It was really that other evil Word Bearer bastard who joined forces with the traitor who had long since disappeared to completely corrupt "him" and the Death Guard.
If Horus hadn't been suppressing him and worried about damaging "him" and Lorgar, or even affecting the relationship between the Death Guard and the Word Bearers, Mortarion might have actually killed Cole on the spot. ? Fallon, by the way, go find the other Word Bearer bastard who is avoiding "him".
After teaching the scum "both big and small", Mortarion passed through the Word Bearers who were on high alert against "him" and went straight to the temple hall.
Walk in.
"He" saw on both sides of the spacious and splendid hall stood the statues of the gods carved and made by the most outstanding craftsmen of Idilos.
There are the enchanting Slaanesh, the armored Khorne, and dozens of other "gods".
Looking at Lorgar Aurelion, "his" skin has Chaos symbols and writings that emit a faint red light. The brother wearing luxurious armor is kneeling on his knees and praying devoutly to a statue on the left.
Seeing such a scene, Mortarion couldn't help but feel disgusted, but he still approached Lorgar patiently and said: "Lorgar, my army and I need to repair it briefly. Also, I suggest you improve Idiros as soon as possible. level of alertness.”
"Don't worry, my brother." Lorgar glanced at Mortarion, and then vowed: "No enemy can pass through the layers of defense. Listen clearly, there is no..."
"Boom!!"
However, Luojia's words were interrupted by the violent noise caused by the forced landing of a giant warship.
