"It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous."
Amidst the mocking whispers, the strong wind that had been mixed with screams and wailing suddenly blew by, and the human skin curtain behind the two warriors suddenly rippled.
"Huron thought he could scare us with that thing."
The tall giant on the left raised his head slightly and stared at the burning sky. His voice was low and dangerous.
"This guy is as arrogant and pathetic as ever. When he failed, I kindly persuaded him to surrender without caring about what he had done. However, after he pretended to convert and regained a foothold with my help, he immediately It was so shameless to turn my back and refuse to admit my fault, which caused me to be laughed at by that bastard Kor Phaeron for a hundred years! Failure to listen to the Holy Word will lead to defeat!"
The speaker wore crimson power armor, heavily decorated with Chaos Cult symbols and daemonic carvings, itself a mixture of various armors, from his segmented MK4-style greaves to his inlaid Every inch of the shoulder armor with steel nails is engraved with gorgeous scriptures, and the power backpack and kneepads in the form of the Roaring Demon are engraved with numerous texts: all are excerpts from the dark scriptures and the Book of Luojia. The shoulder armor on his left side Completely engraved is the third volume of the Hate of the Gods, along with dozens of passages of scripture and hymns.
And his face is difficult to describe with just one or two words. Insidious, despicable, and cunning are almost all engraved on his face. His hair and eyebrows have been shaved off and anointed with holy oil. Every inch of exposed skin was engraved with complex cuneiform writing, an act that made his flesh and blood seem to become a living devil's book.
As he stared into the distance, his eyes were cold and dead, showing no emotion, but against the darkness in the distance, he seemed to be able to see the terrifying burning ether flame.
"Lord Erebus."
After a moment of silence, the man on the right asked humbly:
"Then what should we do? We proposed to take action against the Red Pirates in the Dark Council before but were blocked by Kor Phaeron. Now with only Galmek's power plus the other party's thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do anything to the Red Pirates. threaten."
"I have known it, and the gods have known it."
Erebus' gaze rested on a point beyond the horizon, and the senior Word Bearers officer followed it. Although he could see nothing but endless spiers, domes, cathedrals, and obelisks, He still knew where Erebus was thinking.
Sicaros, the current true home planet of the Word Bearers Legion, and the place where the Primarch meditates.
It seems that a long time has passed since the golden-skinned Anointed Lorgar left the Word Bearers. For tens of thousands of years, the original body of the Word Bearers has been isolated in the temple, and no one is allowed to disturb his meditation. , until now, thousands of blood candles are still lit in Luo Jia's name every day, and his name appears in the prayers of tens of millions of penitents, just to pray for his return.
During the period when the original body left, the Dark Council became the core of the Legion's decision-making, and the two old rivals Erebus and Kor Phaeron have also been wrestling with each other for tens of thousands of years, but no one has ever formed a truly overwhelming advantage. , but because Erebas has been in charge of Galmyk for a long time, he has always had a slight advantage over Kor Phalun in a sense, which is related to the power he can directly mobilize.
"Huron tried to profit from the game of the gods without paying any price. The gods have long been dissatisfied with his ungrateful interests. We are not in a hurry to take action. The gods will arrange his failure."
As he spoke, the chief apostle of the Word Bearers Legion had a sly sneer on his lips.
"When Huron is defeated, we will take over all the legacy of the Red Pirates. Just imagine what a feat it is to have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of warriors fall into the arms of the truth. Then we will no longer need to fight with Cole in the Parliament. Faron is engaged in a meaningless battle, and we can even build a great legion like Abaddon, that bastard of Horus is not worthy of being called Warmaster!"
"So...what about the Empire?"
"When the puppet emperor's lackeys think they have won, I will tell them what real defeat is-"
As soon as Erebus finished speaking, the door behind them suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, four little angels made of baby corpses held incense burners and flew out of the red shadows. Their fat faces were twisted into grotesque expressions. Their eyes were sewn together with criss-crossing sutures. They also roared filial piety while flying. They stood up, revealing their tiny barbed teeth, each of which was engraved with a symbol of the Chaos Evil God.
The monsters then began a series of hovers and dives, heralding the arrival of their masters.
Following heavy footsteps, a tall warrior walked out of the shadows. He wore a heavy chainmail cloak. The armor was carefully carved into peeling and loose muscle tissue, and many sharp little horns protruded from his bald head.
He strode towards Erebus, with the bodyguards in Terminator following behind him. Erebus turned around and walked towards the other side with the people around him. The two dark apostles slowly approached each other, They looked at each other, then hugged like brothers.
"Welcome, pious Marduk."
"It's a great honor, Chief Apostle."
The person who came was none other than Marduk, one of the Dark Apostles and a more trusted ally of Erebas in the Dark Council.
Originally, the relationship between Marduk and Erebus was not very good. Erebus even sent him to participate in the attack of Ekodas and Ashkanz on the Gate of Boros, but Marduk also designed to let his The Watchers died at the hands of the Gray Knights.
But then Marduk exposed Kor Phaeron's political conspiracy against Erebas (that is, a whistleblower), which allowed him to gain the favor of the chief apostle, so with the support of Erebas, Marduk replaced He learned the location of the dead Ikodus and became a member of the Dark Council.
After Erebus let go of Marduk, he smiled and said:
"What brings you to Galmyk?"
In fact, he asked knowingly. He knew about Marduk as soon as he came to the maelstrom, and he had been lingering in the maelstrom for several months.
Marduk did not play riddles with Erebas and said straightforwardly:
"I've discovered some clues about that man."
"oh?"
Erebus let out a low cry in feigned surprise.
"If I understand correctly, it's... that person?"
"Well, we all thought he was dead at that time, but I received an order from the Bone Temple some time ago."
Erebus frowned slightly. He also knew about this. This was the first time that the original body had conveyed news to the outside world after tens of thousands of years. However, only Marduk accepted this edict, so Erebus would So focused on this one.
But soon, only a false smile remained on his face.
"I envy the favor of the Primarch and the gods bestowed upon you, brother."
Marduk shook his head with a wry smile.
"Rewards and punishments always come at the same time, but how can it be so easy to find a person who has been missing for tens of thousands of years? I tried my best to find evidence that he is still alive, but I still have no clue where he is. Tovindis has long since been destroyed, and so I come to seek your help."
Erebas thought for a moment, and then said softly:
"I am bound by the command of the Holy Word. Regarding the details of this matter... please come to my meditation room and we will discuss it slowly and in detail."
