When Huron hurried back to the Corkria system after the battle at Angstrom, the sight before him almost drove him crazy.
According to the navigation records monitored by the galaxy monitoring device, the ship Death Fang of the Shadow Ghost Warband suddenly entered the galaxy. Soon after, the orbital station of Fenning 2, the capital of the galaxy, crashed into the hive city, and several virus bombs were dropped at the same time. Heading towards the surface of the planet, the unsuspecting planet immediately suffered a devastating blow, the entire planetary ecology was directly destroyed, and more than 10 billion people died.
You must know that this is not an ordinary world. At least one-third of the current Huron Tyrant Legion's troops come from here. Even this time, there are tens of millions of recruits waiting to be transported to the front line, but they were simply reimbursed. He was so angry that he issued a pursuit order against Shadow Ghost at that time.
However, after calming down, Huron felt that the other party had no reason to do such a thing. There was no benefit at all, and according to the navigation records, the war gang also had an unfamiliar ship.
Could someone be using Shadow Ghost's name to cause trouble for him?
There may be such people in the empire, but they are very, very few. The Gray Knights are also at war with him, and other war groups basically have their own fronts.
And besides the few people he knew in the empire, who in the empire could kill a demon prince and seize his ship?
It can't be the Word Bearers, or—
Abaddonist, right?
Amid all kinds of doubts, Huron never thought about the Astral Knight who was fighting with him. After all, Soshyan himself had been fighting with him, and that was a demon prince! It can't be that he was taken care of by some miscellaneous fish in the Astral Knights Chapter, right?
Regardless of the actual situation, it is now all hypothetical unless the ship is found, and the loss of a key planet has shaken Huron's rule in Colkeria, and he must stay here for a while, but it is said from afar The incoming battle report forced him to take action again. In fact, it was not without good news. For example, he received news from afar that Honso of Badab was still standing despite being surrounded by heavy imperial troops. This allowed Huron to see The key to strategically breaking the situation, now he must buy some more time, because he realizes that in order to win, he must have decisive strategic power.
】
He still has such power, but he cannot fully control it. Huron has tested Galmek more than a dozen times in a row, but there was no response. And based on the internal intelligence of the Word Bearers, it is certain that Erebus has been away for some time. In this case, Huron thought maybe he could give it a try and take a gamble.
But there is another problem, that is, he cannot fully control the thing. Although Abaddon gave it to him, he was very stupid and did not give him a control method. As a result, although it can move, most functions and weapons cannot be used, and even We don't even know what's going on in its core area yet. The inside of that thing seems to be changing at any time.
Huron then ordered all his dimensional blacksmiths, Dark Mechanicus personnel and wizards to figure out how to control the Blackstone Fortress. Even if they only understood a little bit, they would have a better chance of winning the decisive battle in the future.
Blackstone Fortress will be his real magic weapon to crush the expeditionary army!
While Huron was resting and trying to figure out how to control the Blackstone Fortress, Soshyan, who was about to leave Angstrom, also met a "traitor" brought back by Amnak in his personal office - and He is a traitor who has rebelled several times.
"Why did the Third Army come to this point?"
In the office, Soshyan looked at Kailo, the former pharmacist of the Emperor's Children Legion, and asked his first question.
Kailo, who had changed into a primary-color power armor and had his hair cut to look very smart, sat on the chair and sighed softly, saying:
"Probably, let's start with a man and a sword."
"Instructor Thor told me, Fabius, and the Blade of Lar, but I still want to hear your opinion, or what role you played in this process."
Soshyan stared at the other party's dark-eyed boy. The former army pharmacist was silent for a moment and responded:
"My role... I was loyal to the Legion, loyal to the Primarch, and I did everything I could... but the power of the Warp was too great."
"Loyal to everything but the Empire and the Emperor?"
Hearing Soshyan's slightly mocking words, Kailo immediately said seriously:
"We are pharmacists, and our duty is to maintain the existence of the Legion's blood. No matter what the Legion becomes, this will not change. No one I am loyal to will change this... If we all die, Legion It’s completely over.”
Soshyan smiled.
"Do you think the current Third Army is far from the word 'finished'?"
"I guess... Commander Soshyan, you didn't just call me here just to mock me?"
"When Amnak told me about this, I actually had some doubts. Lucius's people are notorious, and they are also the most depraved group of people. As a pharmacist who has been among them for a long time, you said you It is hard to believe that there is no corruption. Chaos is like a drop of ink in water. No matter how small the dose is, its impact is unavoidable. Even if your body seems to be still pure, there will definitely be stains on your soul that cannot be erased. If you are a person, Ordinary combatants, maybe that's all, but you are a pharmacist, a very critical position, so I want to understand your goals and ideas."
"Lost legions, mysterious technology, a strange Slaanesh demon, a group of warriors with complex origins."
Kailo forced a peaceful smile on his face.
"I think we're a good match."
"Ha, that's a powerful irony, so let's put it another way, what do you want from us?"
"a chance."
Soshyan looked at the other person, lost in thought. Amnak obviously had his own plans in bringing the pharmacist, but he did not hide it and instead told him the truth.
Amnak told Soshyan that in order to crack the secret of Gray Marrow, it is obviously not enough to search the past history of the family or find the illusory legacy of the original body, and the organization leading all this will definitely block those who do not want Soshyan. Yang knew something, so some special means had to be used.
The former chief of Slaanesh recommended a person to Soshyan, and thought that with that person's ability and wisdom, there might be a way to decipher some of the secrets of the Gray Marrow.
He is Kailo's mentor, Fabius Bayer, the former chief pharmacist of the Third Legion.
This man Saul also talked about it with Soshyan. His evaluation was that he was crazy and talented at the same time. Even though he was very disgusted, he also admitted that his biological and genetic abilities were the best among the best, but it was also this kind of talent. He turned the most loyal legion in the past into the most depraved legion, and his most crowning work was the cloning of the original body.
Soshyan seemed very surprised when he learned that Fabius could clone the original body. After all, it was too crazy to think about it.
But according to Saul's account at the time, it seems that Fabius succeeded.
According to Amnak, Fabius not only succeeded, but also cloned more than one original body. He tried to clone almost all the original bodies, but in the end there were only two surviving works, namely Horus. and Fulgrim - in which the primarch of Horus had been killed by Abaddon himself.
In addition, another reason why Amnak recommended Fabius is that the current man has almost no position and is not loyal to anyone. Even if he is the original body and does not believe in any gods, he is very idiosyncratic. He travels alone, so he will definitely not be interfered or co-opted by the organization that leads the Gray Marrow Project, nor will he be interfered by certain forces in the subspace. He is a true "outsider". This kind of person is sometimes safer, even if he does not There is no faith and loyalty at all.
Kailo is the key to finding Fabius, but this brings up another problem——
Fabius's second crazy work, the cloned Primarch of the Third Legion, the false Fulgrim.
