boom--
A grenade exploded somewhere on his left side, shrapnel caught his armor, and he felt the wet bladder on his armor twitch and tremble with pain.
Then, he raised the battle axe, its wolf head howling in joy and pain, bursting out dense red plasma, directly facing the helmet of a Deathwing Terminator.
The opponent tried to raise his arms to block, but was suddenly swallowed up by the gorgeous scarlet mist.
The gun in Erquisos's hand banged at the same time, and two more Krieg soldiers who were shooting fell backward, twitching, and rolling.
Just beyond them, a warrior leaped over an overturned pier and landed behind a Cadian company, before its chainsword chanted, knocking a third of that company's men away. His head was missing, but then he was beaten to pieces by several bolters.
The adjutant of Erquessos was under siege by two Dark Angel veterans. As soon as he swung away a sword, a flail swung from the right, shattering the adjutant's shoulders and making him stand still. A heavy blow penetrated the helmet, causing ceramite to fly.
Erquisos gritted his teeth and roared, and the head of the battle ax turned into a swaying and hissing dragon.
Every time the Chaos Lord charged, fired, and advanced again and again, the consciousness deep in his soul groaned in pain.
Weak, crazy thoughts touched his mind like cobwebs in the darkness, shadows danced at the top of his field of vision, and the aquila symbolizing the empire hovered around him.
The air around him was filled with bolt fire and jets of energy, ancient rock exploded into searing shards, and rage took over his mind.
After dancing his arms wildly for dozens of seconds, he found himself standing under the sky, roaring wordlessly.
The enemy disappeared, the bodies of the Imperial Astartes disappeared, and even the sound of gunfire faded away.
"Um?"
There was no sound, no shouts from his companions, and Erquessos was dumbfounded.
The enemy suddenly retreated? When they were on the verge of victory?
Confused, he looked back at the messy battlefield and found that the surviving soldiers were sitting in the ruins in despair, and the remaining cultists and mutants were crying softly under the painful effects of their wounds.
The next moment, he realized why the other party retreated.
He has completely turned into a fish bait, a fish bait that has lost the power to resist.
"Asshole! Asshole!!!!"
At the same time that Soshyan commanded the army to severely defeat the surrounded Black Legion, and deliberately let out rumors to stimulate Abaddon, behind the Imperial coalition forces, Judge Lennart Meyers was also preparing to take action. .
As the representative of the Tribunal and the coordinator of the Gray Knights team in this battle, he has always behaved very low-key, too low-key to be like an Inquisitor.
But keeping a low profile doesn't mean he's doing nothing. In fact, as soon as he arrived on Paidu, he embarked on a secret operation, an operation that he considered more important than the elimination of Abaddon.
Lennart was a Thorian inquisitor, or to be more specific, a Promean inquisitor.
The Thor faction can be said to be the oldest faction within the Inquisition. The core belief of this faction is very simple, that is, the Emperor can be resurrected in some way.
This faction dates back to the end of the Horus Heresy, with the two original founders of the Inquisition, Promus and Moriana, seeking a way to resurrect the rulers of humanity.
But when Morreana began to resort to dark powers in her quest, Promus and his followers banished the original Inquisitor to the Eye of Terror, where his disciples would continue to work for centuries. has been exploring ways to reshape the emperor's body.
Eventually, a sect of the Promote sect, the Horus sect, began to form.
These disciples continued to follow Moriana's old path, collecting texts and classics related to Horus and his enchantments. These scrolls, which were regarded as heretical, brought the Promius sect and the Horus sect into conflict. In the end, the Horus sect won. But there are still a few true Promus sects in M34.
In the end, Stalia von Draysen succeeded in forming an anti-Horus faction across the Empire. During her crusade, she spent 20 years on Earth studying the natural methods of the Emperor's resurrection and the The process of establishing the Inquisition culminated in her belief that it was basically impossible for the Emperor to be resurrected, which led her to launch an anti-resurrectionist purge within the Inquisition.
During the M35 period, the Inquisition basically gave up its goal of resurrecting the Emperor.
But in M36 during the Age of Apostasy, the Resurrectionists resurfaced again, this time led by Sebastian Thor. After the end of the blood rule of Gorg Vandel, Resurrectionism, including what was not A faction very close to Thor's own idealism (Thorism) was once again accepted by the Inquisition.
But at this time, there were significant differences between the Thorists and the original Promusians.
The Thorians believe that the Emperor's near-death state after Horus' fatal blow allowed him to finally be liberated from the limitations of his mortal body and ascend to true, pure godhead, whose spirit roamed the void like a whisper across the warp. Traveling, traveling through space and even time, the emperor's soul will appear in the container he chooses, but these can only save the smallest part of the emperor's boundless power, and he will soon grow old, sick and die.
The Prometheans believed that the emperor's spirit could be transferred to a fixed host, called the Divine Incarnation, but many Inquisitors opposed this proposal because they believed that the Empire would be in great conflict between believers and unbelievers. It fell apart, with consequences not unlike those of the Horus Heresy, so the Promote sect is now largely extinct.
Lennart Meyers was one of the few Promius disciples in this era, and his fundamental purpose in persuading the Gray Knights to go to the Death Star was only to serve his goals.
As for the reason, according to many years of research and textual research by the Promius sect, they discovered an unnamed manuscript in a ruins at Armageddon many years ago. The author of the manuscript did not leave a name, but the Promius sect However, the seniors speculated that it was most likely left by Malcador, the Imperial Prime Minister during the Great Crusade.
The content of the manuscript is not much, but it is very important to this faction, because it records a shelved plan of Malcador, and that plan is closely related to the Emperor.
This plan became the focus of the Promusians for more than a dozen centuries, as they continued to speculate on the manuscript and eventually deduced a location.
Expelling the mourning star——
There is a key clue to Malcador's secret plan on the Pisces Planet, but this clue requires certain conditions before it can be triggered.
In fact, this kind of vague and prophetic evidence is not even worthy of attention in the eyes of many inquisitors, but for the Promius sect, which has been suppressed for a long time, this is a possibility for them to achieve their ten thousand-year ambition!
But what really convinced them that the Paiji Star was the key place was that an ancient organization got in touch with them, and Lennart Meyers' trip was also related to this mysterious organization.
Their action is about to begin!
