Under the wise leadership of the Chaos Warmaster Shenwu, and after ten thousand years of unremitting efforts, the Thirteenth Black Crusade was a great success, and the empire suffered heavy losses as a result.
But as the saying goes: a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
For desperate beasts, be extra careful, otherwise you may be bitten.
Therefore, Abaddon decided not to attack the Holy Land of the Empire first, but to use the Great Rift to block and isolate it, while he expanded his power in the dark side, gradually accumulating advantages under the influence of one and the other.
How could those pedantic and cowardly high lords have a chance to stop this wave of destruction?
The nobles will definitely choose to give up their dark side and instead defend the holy territory with all their strength, so as to protect their lives of dreams and dreams, just like the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It’s over, but not quite yet.
This is actually a more terrifying thing than being directly involved in a life-and-death crisis.
There is room for those short-sighted and cowardly people to become resistance, and his final finishing work will be much easier.
After the balance of strength between the two sides was completely overturned, Abaddon struck a thunderous blow at Holy Terra.
If he invades the imperial court, kills the false emperor, avenges his father's shame, and rescues Kayon along the way, great things will be accomplished and hegemony will flourish.
But what Abaddon never expected was that after ten thousand years, Guilliman would actually return again. The era of the original body did not end as he claimed back then.
The resurrection of the Lord of the Ultramarines brought changes to the decaying empire, and gave false hope to the followers of the false emperor. He even formed an Indomitus Expedition fleet to enter the dark side of the empire in an attempt to regain lost ground and rebel against the darkness. Destiny set by the gods.
The lambs that were already ready to be slaughtered fiercely resisted, and the situation of a steady win inexplicably went awry.
From Abadon's perspective, this was the cooked duck starting to flutter in the pot, and trying to slap him twice with backhand, but he couldn't hit him head-on.
Of course, Abaddon could not allow Guilliman to continue to act so recklessly. The Despoiler had to find a way to quickly suppress this rising resistance.
In the last combat meeting, the Great Predator summarized three policies and seven key points to deeply implement the strategic measures to sweep away the dark side, strengthen the ideological construction of the Black Legion, consolidate the victory results of the Thirteenth Black Expedition, and promote all aspects of Chaos. The friendly exchanges between the factions encourage everyone to achieve the goal of completely defeating Guilliman and continue to contribute to the great cause of overthrowing the tyranny of the Empire.
Given the disparity of the Black Legion, Abaddon was not able to effectively rule his subordinates, so he had to say more words of encouragement.
"The fall of the empire is doomed. The appearance of Guilliman is just another achievement for our proud resume. He is nothing to be afraid of. I will personally lead my elite troops to attack the Nachmund Corridor and cut off the Indomitable Expedition Fleet. supply channel, but the puppet emperor's lackeys will definitely try other ways to deliver resources to Guilliman, such as sending supply fleets to force across the Great Rift - so I want you to find it, plunder and destroy it, so that we can order Guilliman and his band of blue boys will die without a grave."
The Warmaster shouldered all the hardest and most tiring work on his own shoulders, leaving his brothers to do the good work of robbing things.
Only by working so hard can you show your magnanimity.
However, friendship is friendship, and the authority of the Warmaster must still be maintained.
Although Abaddon cannot control the process, he can seize the outcome.
After the Warmaster's decree is issued, if no concrete results are seen for a period of time, then don't blame him for being unkind and unreasonable, and for not recognizing his brothers.
Everyone present knew this.
Therefore, the Chaos Lords who received the Warmaster's orders did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately began to search for possible movements of the supply fleet.
However, the situation on the dark side of the empire was too chaotic, and the flow of information was quite blocked. They did not dare to get too close to the Indomitus Expedition fleet - there was a huge risk of being killed by Guilliman if they pried information from there.
Therefore, the Chaos Lords have been busy for more than half a year, but they are still like headless flies, completely unable to carry out the tasks issued by the Warmaster.
In order to find a way to break the situation, everyone from the Heavenly Punishment War Gang gathered in the bridge hall to brainstorm possible solutions.
Compared to other Chaos Lords who accepted the mission, their situation was worse.
Because their territory happens to be on the path of a hive fleet.
Wherever the bugs pass, even the surface of the planet will be scraped off, and the size of the fleet will get bigger and bigger. If they are not stopped, they will have to give up the territory they finally gained. I don’t know when they will be able to do so. Make a comeback.
So they can only spend a lot of energy and time guiding the Hive Fleet elsewhere.
Fortunately, their plan succeeded and the foundation of the Heavenly Punishment War Gang was preserved.
Unfortunately, the Warmaster's mission was put on hold for a long time, and the Marauders might come to trouble them later.
Abaddon is not a considerate boss.
If the people below are making all kinds of excuses for the failure of the operation, if you have this reason and he has that difficulty, will the Black Legion team still be brought along?
Although Abaddon will not deal with them all if the matter is not completed, he will definitely not be able to escape by killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
And no one wants to be the chicken that is killed.
"It would be great if we could get information from the Holy Frontier." Ankarak, the leader of the Heavenly Punishment War Gang, sighed deeply, feeling very distressed about this.
The predecessor of the Heaven's Punishment War Gang was the union of three small war gangs. The opening of the Great Rift allowed them to see the opportunity to do big things, so the leaders of the three war gangs chose to unite and become brothers of different surnames so that they could work together for a great cause.
The strength of the chaos interstellar warriors gathered by the three families can reach 1,200, which is considered a considerable force in the surrounding area.
Even so, they didn't have any good ideas on how to complete the Warmaster's mission.
"I do have a channel here, which may be able to solve the current dilemma." Just when everyone had no clue, the third master stood up and advised the Chaos Lord.
"Oh, what kind of channel is it?" Ankarak asked.
"Blackheart Huron, the King of the Red Pirates, was once kind to me. My rise was all due to his help. And when we were leaving, he left me a special contact information to tell me if we met in the future. If you have any difficult problems, you can go to him for help - the Red Pirates can get information in the Holy Land, but it is not convenient for them to start. We are convenient for our activities in the dark side, but we have no information. The two families just hit it off on this matter." The third master replied.
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly became interested.
The name of the Red Pirates can be said to be second only to the Black Legion, and the Maelstrom is located on the holy territory of the Empire.
If we can get their help, the probability of success will be greatly increased.
"Is this reliable?" Ankarak confirmed.
"The tyrant Badab is famous for his righteousness, and it is no lie. I believe you have heard of it, brother. It is absolutely fair to cooperate with him. I can negotiate for 50% at most and 30% at the bottom. Anyway, we can't eat this batch alone. The goods will be harvested as much as we can by then, or even if it’s not possible, we just need to hold off the enemy and let the Red Pirates finish the deal - sharing gold and silver with Lord Huron is much more reliable than cooperating with other lunatics." The third master said confidently.
"But will the Warmaster have any objections? After all, we are people under the Black Legion in name, but we went to hook up with the Red Pirates privately. What's more, this batch of supplies is not a matter of a bag of cigarettes. Who smokes it? They're all smoking." The second master frowned.
It is said that peers are enemies. As the largest Chaos force, the Black Legion must be on guard against the Red Pirates, the second largest force. No one wants to risk their position being banned.
"Aren't we doing this just to complete the mission assigned by the Warmaster? What's more, the Warmaster himself once gave Lord Huron a black stone fortress. There should be no reason for him to object to our cooperation with the Red Pirates." Third Master continued.
"Although this is the case, I'm afraid that the war commander won't say it, but secretly remembers it in his heart. One day he will remember it, and he will find a reason to settle accounts with our brothers." The second master said worriedly.
"The timid will starve to death, and the bold will starve to death. How can they rise from the troubled times if they keep thinking about the head and tail?" The third master said excitedly, "That is nearly half of the profit of the supply fleet, and it is almost free. We Our power can at least be doubled as a result."
"The Red Pirates may be dishonest and cheat. Our arms can't twist our thighs. In the end, we worked for a long time and couldn't get anything." The second boss reminded again.
For the Chaos side, all moral honors are fake, and whoever has the bigger fist speaks the right words.
"I know Lord Huron's character. He has a great career. How can he do such a thing? And even if he takes a step back and says that he really wants to play evil, we can still pull out the flag of the Warmaster. , we can’t defeat the Red Pirates, he should give the Warmaster some face, right?” said the third master.
Although he was suspected of colluding with his competitors, if his own people were hacked, the Warmaster would not help them for no reason.
The red pirate will be afraid of this.
But if they really want to ask Abaddon to solve the problem, they probably won't be able to recover the hacked things. They will have to use them to honor the War Commander, which is equivalent to a wasted effort.
"I think we should think twice. Cooperating with the Red Pirates will have a serious impact on our career in the Black Legion."
"But if we can't complete the Warmaster's mission, we people will have to deal with it later."
The second boss and the third boss heatedly discussed the pros and cons of the plan, each holding their own opinions and arguing.
In the end, the big brother still has to decide whether to do it or not.
After much consideration, Ankarak finally chose to agree.
After all, you can't achieve great success by staying safe.
"Go ahead!" He nodded, "Use your channels and contact the Lord of the Maelstrom immediately."
