Chapter 686 Come on, Honorable Imperial Regent (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



The Warp Chaos God - Tzeentch is the most typical representative of them.

Because what he pursues is wisdom, change, conspiracy, and calculation, the process rather than the result. He enjoys manipulating others in the palm of his hand and plunging the whole world into endless chaos.

This means that it is impossible to analyze and predict from a rational and profit perspective.

Perhaps the only one who can compete with it in this regard is the Alpha Legion, which is still causing headaches for the Human Empire.

This group of Astartes warriors who participated in the Horus Heresy also often made people guess at their inexplicable behaviors and actions.

For example, they would suddenly attack a planet, kill all the local religious personnel, and then publicly preach the ruthlessness, cruelty and tyranny of the empire, and then leave without looking back, without harming civilians or looting supplies.

What's even more terrible is that their Primarchs have been killed countless times in the Assassin's Court, but it won't be long before new ones emerge.

It's like a wildfire that can't be extinguished and will spring up again with the wind.

With the Tau traitor completely destroyed, many details behind the whole incident finally came to light.

Just as Zuo Si expected, this guy was actually a chess piece thrown to the front, and all his actions from beginning to end were guided by an inexplicable voice.

The person who placed him in this commercial fleet was a high-ranking member of the Water Clan of the Tau Empire.

As to whether the latter did it unintentionally or had also defected to the Chaos Evil God, it is unknown.

But what is certain is that he definitely does not know as much as the Thousand Sons Legion that launched the raid on the laboratory.

What's more, with Jianqi's personality and style of doing things, how could he let one person know all his plans? Usually he would tell each chess piece what to do, and then realize a huge conspiracy through the connection between them.

Even many pawns that were abandoned as bait believed until their death that they were actually fulfilling a noble and great mission.

Looking at the traitor who was kneeling on the ground and had been completely transformed, Zuo Si slowly turned around and asked the other members of the Titanium Clan in a slightly playful tone: "I think you should all know the whole story now. Tell me, do you have any opinions you want to express about this?"

"What exactly are the Warp and the Chaos God?"

Fleet Commander Shaskel was the first to step forward and raised the issue that concerned him most with a serious expression.

You have to know that the Tau's knowledge of the subspace is actually very limited.

The only recorded one was the "Fourth Star Expansion" initiated by the top leaders of the Tau Empire after the end of the Damocles Expedition.

The fleet they assembled simultaneously used the latest model "AL-38 Undercurrent Module" obtained through reverse research on the human empire's subspace engine. As a result, a chain reaction caused by a large amount of antimatter field tore a huge rift in the real space, directly swallowing up the entire fleet.

It goes without saying that this rift leads to the terrifying subspace.

As a result, the fleet, which did not have any anti-subspace protection devices, was directly welcomed by endless demons.

More than three quarters of the ships were destroyed in the short engagement, and less than a quarter were rescued by an unknown entity with many arms.

Some people believe that the existence of this place with multiple arms is the god created in the warp by the "Greater Good" believed by the Tau people.

Even the surviving members of the fleet changed their temperaments, becoming wildly xenophobic and slaughtering all non-Titan life forms, causing extremely bad consequences.

In order to completely eliminate the information that was detrimental to their own image, the top leaders of the Tau Empire completely eliminated them from the army, and then eliminated this cruel and bloody black history through information control and downplaying.

This has resulted in most of the new generation of the Titanium having no idea what happened during the "Fourth Star Expansion", and even mentioning it has become a taboo.

"Are you sure you want to know the truth? You should know that this is a top secret among you and your tribe.

Once you know that, I can't guarantee what will happen when you return.

And you have to understand that for some things, the more you know, the better.

When you begin to stare into the abyss, the abyss also begins to stare into you."

Zuo Si issued a warning with a half-smile.

Because no one in this universe understands the dangerous situation currently faced by the Titanium better than him.

Not only is there the invasion from the evil gods of the subspace, but there is also the harsh spatial location where these innocent little cuties are located.

To be precise, the currently expanding borders of the Tau Empire are already very close to the control of the Necromancer Mandala Empire - the Sotek Dynasty.

You have to know that this is one of the most powerful existing dynasties of the Necrons, ruling over eighty tomb worlds. The vassal dynasties of Sekhmet, Aremalok, and Horus alone are enough to defeat these Tau people who have no idea of ​​the dark and desperate nature of the universe and make them lose their way.

Its ruler, "Storm King" Imotekh, is a terrifying overlord-level existence.

Once he wakes up and starts to exert his strength, it will be easy to destroy the newborn Titanium.

Not to mention the Tau tribe, even whether the human empire can withstand the other side's violent attack remains to be seen.

After all, when it comes to anti-warp and psionics, no one is better or more professional than the Necrons.

And the Tau Empire is facing more than just the Sotec Dynasty to the west.

On the star map, to their north was the Great Rift of the Warp, to their east was the main force of Hive Tyranids, and to their south was the home of Regent Lord Robert Guilliman - the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as a very dangerous place.

But the problem is that the Tau are completely unaware of their own situation and are still actively preparing for the next Starry Sky expansion plan, intending to continue to grow their own strength, allow more intelligent races to join the Greater Good, and build a harmonious and happy family.

Little did he know that in the eyes of other forces, he was like a child who had just learned to walk and was eager to run. He was stupid, innocent, cute, and even made people want to take a bite.

Of course, from an outsider's perspective, Zuo Si still quite likes this race.

What was ultimately important was that this gave him an urge to train and transform it, and then to watch with his own eyes as the ridiculous "Greater Good" was eventually twisted and degenerated into something that was completely opposite to its original ideals.

"But we're involved in this now, aren't we?"

After pondering for a long time, Shaskel finally made his decision.

Although she was aware of the huge risks involved, she was willing to sacrifice her life and even her soul for the survival and future of the entire civilization.

There is no doubt that this is the huge impact that the "Greater Good" has on the Tau society.

To a certain extent, this value rooted in the most basic level is basically the same as mankind's belief and worship of the God-Emperor, and is an absolutely unshakable foundation.

Without it, individuals will fall into endless civil strife and mutual fighting due to lack of consensus.

Zuo Si was not too surprised by this choice. He directly took out the memory he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

"Here, here's some information about the Warp.

You can take it back and give it to Ether (equivalent to the tribe leader and councilor), and work with them to uncover the true face of this universe.

In addition, I also have some information that is relevant to you.

If you are interested, you can come to me after reading the content.

You know, the situation you and your race are in is not very good now."

Saskel carefully took the memory card with both hands, bent down and bowed deeply with an extremely solemn attitude: "Thank you very much! I swear I will never forget your selfless and kind help.

Whatever this information is, the next time the fleet visits, it will surely bring enough as a reward.

If possible, I hope this good relationship and friendship can continue.”

"Okay, let's go back quickly, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts when the human empire's fleet arrives.

I have also equipped your ship with subspace protection devices and upgraded the hyperdrive.

Now you can lead your fleet directly back to your home planet safely through the warp."

After saying that, Zuo Si stretched out his big hand made entirely of metal and patted the little "titanium girl" on the shoulder as if he was touching a pet to show encouragement, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the passage leading to the interior of the spire.

There is no doubt that the kindness, rationality and generosity he displayed during the brief exchange left a very good impression on these Tau people who were almost wiped out.

In particular, protective devices and engines capable of traveling in the warp for a long time are undoubtedly very important technologies for the current Tau Empire.

With these two things alone, the entire commercial fleet, from top to bottom, will receive unimaginable rewards and honors when they return.

Not to mention the secrets of the subspace that the top leaders have always wanted to obtain.

With very complicated feelings, Shaskel quickly returned to outer space and issued the order to return.

In just a few minutes, less than half of the remaining fleet started their engines and jumped directly from the real universe into the subspace.

However, as luck would have it, at the moment the Tau left, an Imperial fleet just jumped out of the warp and happened to see the former.

"That's... a Tau fleet?!"

The captain stared at the friend-or-foe identification system that flashed by on the detector with a very surprised expression.

Because according to the Empire's judgment, the Tau fleet should not be able to sail over ultra-long distances.

"What's going on?"

Roboute Guilliman asked, seated on the massive throne built specifically for the Primarch.

He was just thinking about something, so he didn't notice the fleeting departure of the Tau commercial fleet.

The captain quickly stood up and reported: "Your Excellency the Regent, we just discovered that a Tau fleet has just activated its hyperdrive and jumped into the subspace. And judging from their trajectory, they should have set sail from here."

"You mean to say that the allies who have been providing us with technology and weapons and equipment have now established contact and even trade with the Tau?"

Robert Guilliman frowned subconsciously.

The reason why he led his fleet here during his busy expedition was that he wanted to confirm with his own eyes the true identity of this intruder who claimed to be from another universe.

After all, according to the report of the Living Saint Celestine, the great emperor of the empire has recognized the other party as an ally of mankind and even has certain great expectations for him.

This expectation even exceeds that of all the descendants of the Primarch.

And according to the report of the Grey Knight, the black oil can even play a very good restraining role on demons in the real universe. It can even temporarily transform demons into its own people, and then command them to fight with their former counterparts through the controller.

However, once entering the subspace, the ability of Shuoyou will be greatly weakened, or even completely ineffective.

In addition, Robert Guilliman was also somewhat worried about the addictive drugs that were beginning to spread in large quantities among various star regions of the Empire.

As the only Primarch who still holds out great hopes and fantasies for the future, he does not want humanity to end up repeating the same mistakes.

You have to know that in the distant past, in the era known as "dark technology", humans once conducted almost crazy research and transformation of their own genes, and even many of them were destroyed.

This is also why between the 30th and 40th millenniums, humans on many planets experienced varying degrees of genetic mutations.

The most famous one is the pair of angel-like wings behind Saint Jarles.

"Based on this little information alone, we cannot determine the purpose of the Tau fleet's appearance.

But I thought you might be able to ask about it in an upcoming meeting.

You must know that the ever-expanding territory of the Tau people has already threatened the five hundred worlds of Ultramar.

They are now enemies of the Empire."

The captain was very blunt in expressing his hostility toward non-human civilizations.

Especially potential threats like the Tau, who have some strength but are far from enough to compete with the Empire.

Robert Guilliman nodded slightly. "Don't worry, I will ask him in person. In other words, getting to know this ally in depth is the biggest purpose of my trip. Now, send a signal to our ally requesting landing. I also want to see the perfect world he has built for those criminals."

"As you wish!"

The captain stood up and saluted in a standard military manner, then immediately ordered the signalman to access the planetary communication network and began to report identities and numbers in an orderly manner according to fixed procedures.

After a while, the management system controlled by the New Phyrexian creation gave a corresponding response.

Although Zuo Si was somewhat surprised that the Primarch and Imperial Regent personally visited him with the First Expeditionary Fleet, he still showed a welcoming attitude and even organized a fairly decent welcoming ceremony.

About half an hour later, the Imperial Regent landed on the ground with five hundred Astartes wearing blue power armors.

When Robert Guilliman saw this huge city, which was completely different from the style of the Hive City, and the people who were doing nothing but playing, enjoying themselves, and tasting fine wine and delicious food on the streets, his face, which had been as serious as an ancient Greek sculpture, showed a hint of surprise.

Because the kind of ease and comfort that comes to one's face is something that one would never see among the residents of any other planet in the empire.

After all, in the face of huge survival pressure, even those relatively idle agricultural and animal husbandry planets will work day and night to produce more food to ensure the supply of the army and feed the cutting-edge engineers on those industrial casting planets.

But now, a group of prisoners whose souls were used as bargaining chips by the Empire could actually experience it in such a remote place as the Bottas Star Sector.

Just as many people could not understand why Zuo Si would waste resources to feed these people who could not create any value, Robert Guilliman was also full of doubts about this.

Fortunately, he did not dwell on this issue for too long. He just stopped and watched for a few seconds before moving on again, passing through the guard of honor formed by two rows of humanoid New Phyrexian creatures and going straight to the square in front of the tower.

Zuo Si, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted with a smile: "Welcome, Your Excellency the Regent of the Empire. To be honest, I never expected that you would take time out of your busy schedule to come to this remote and backward star region."

“You are too modest, Lord Soth.

Perhaps the Bottas sector was indeed poor and backward in the past, and even the Empire's tax department had completely forgotten it.

But since your arrival, this place has become an indispensable logistics supply production center for the imperial army.

Thanks to your help, this expedition will go so smoothly."

Roboute Guilliman is worthy of being the most talented of all the Primarchs in politics, diplomacy and operations. Whenever he is willing, he can make anyone who talks to him feel comfortable.

This is completely different from his brothers.

You have to know that among the twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor, there are hardly any mentally healthy people.

Eighty percent of the Primarchs believed that they were smarter and more capable than the other eighty percent, and each of them was not only eccentric but also extremely arrogant.

But what about the current imperial regent?

Not only does he always maintain a humble and polite face, he is also the only one among all the Primarchs who constantly reflects on himself.

This can be seen from the formulation of the Codex Astartes after the end of the Horus Heresy, which split the legions into smaller chapters to prevent similar large-scale rebellions from happening again.

After waking up, he found that the systems he had established before had long been corrupted during the 10,000-year period of imperial decline. Roboute Guilliman immediately abolished the "Codex Astartes" he had formulated, and began to use "non-staff sons" to expand the Astartes Legion on a larger scale to launch the Indomitus Crusade.

It can be said that based on this point alone, he is far ahead of the other Primarchs in terms of ideology.

No wonder that among all the rebellious Primarchs, apart from their own completely opposite enemies, the second most hated person is basically the Imperial Regent himself.

The reason is simple. Robert Guilliman possesses what they lack the most, which is the ability to examine themselves soberly and not get lost in the interference of power and the evil gods of chaos.

So the essence of this hatred is intense jealousy.

"You are too polite. I just fulfilled the terms of the deal. Besides, I got what I wanted."

As he spoke, Zuo Si glanced at the human residents below the huge city who knew nothing about what had happened before.

Even the Imperial Navy proposed to purchase or lease some large warships to expand the size of the expeditionary force.

The Adeptus Mechanicus, for his part, is obsessed with the oil and artifacts of New Phyrexia.

Because some of them believe that this may be some kind of advanced technology that surpasses artificial intelligence and can help mankind get out of the dark ages of ignorance and restore the great glory of the golden age that people yearn for infinitely.

After a brief greeting and courtesies, the two quickly walked side by side into the conference room inside the spire.

Robert Guilliman obviously didn't want too many people to hear the secret conversation that was about to begin, so he simply left all the Astartes warriors accompanying him outside.

As the door slammed shut, he and Zuo Si were the only ones left in the huge conference room.

After a brief silence, the Imperial Regent was the first to break the silence and asked directly: "Have you established contact and trade with the Tau people?"

“I guess so.”

Zuo Si did not hide anything and directly recounted what had happened not long ago.

Because he knew very well that he needed this conversation to reach an agreement with the other party on many issues.

"What? Tzeentch, one of the evil gods in the Warp, has set his sights on you? Not only did he send out spies to release electronic demons, he also sent the Thousand Sons Legion to launch a raid on your laboratory?"

罗伯特·基里曼腾的一下从椅子上站了起来。

因为凡是涉及到亚空间邪神的就没有一件小事。

他可不会忘记自己那些原体兄弟究竟是怎么一个接一个堕落成为叛徒的。

左思微微点了下头:“是的。

利用这支被亚空间风暴卷入的钛族舰队,奸奇对我发起了一次试探性的进攻。

至于他究竟是想要抢夺实验室里的东西,还是打算搞清楚烁油的秘密,其实已经不重要了。

重要的是我已经正式加入了这场原本只有恐虐、奸奇、色孽、纳垢和人类皇帝的游戏。

而你的父亲现在就是我的盟友,所以我们理所当然也是盟友。”

“所以你也是他们中的一员?”

罗伯特·基里曼明显意识到了什么,两只眼睛里闪烁着异样的光芒。

左思摇了摇头回答道:“不,起码现在还不是,但未来会不会是就不太好说了。

毕竟我正在做的事情相当于直接掀桌子。

亚空间邪神究竟会作何反应很难预料。

更何况如果你不是那么排斥自己的亚空间特性,其实也有资格坐上这张桌子来一起玩。

要知道不管是皇帝本人还是你们这些原体,从一开始就不是人类,至少不能被称之为凡人。

你们从诞生的那一刻起就拥有神性,其本质与亚空间紧密的相连。

尤其是在大叛乱结束后的一万年时间里,接受了无数的信仰和崇拜。

相信你应该知道这些信仰和崇拜是会在亚空间之中形成某种投影乃至实体吧?”

“可我的父亲、人类的皇帝并没有选择成为神,哪怕在面对荷鲁斯的时候有过那样的冲动。”罗伯特·基里曼面无表情的反驳道。

对此,左思仅仅只是笑了笑紧跟着叹了口气:“唉——难道你没有听说过如果一个人越是想要逃避自己的命运,往往就越会在各种各样的机缘巧合下成促成它吗? 逃避解决不了问题。

唯有正视自己勇敢面对才能超越自我、战胜原本的命运。

皇帝之所以没有选择升神是因为他还对人类抱有希望和责任,愿意以自我牺牲作为代价来帮助人类走出黑暗奔向美好的未来。

为此不惜放弃自己推行的帝国真理,开始接受信仰和崇拜,并利用这些力量来与亚空间的混沌邪神对抗,保护所有人类的灵魂。

这是他当时所能做出的最优解。

可你呢? 你只是沉浸在自己描绘的那个美好未来的幻想中不愿意醒来。

睁开眼睛好好看看这个妖魔鬼怪横行的宇宙吧! 除非能够彻底颠覆亚空间的现状,否则最终能够得到的就只有不断的沉沦和绝望。”

“你想要我承认那些国教信徒和牧师们所强加在我身上的神性?”

罗伯特·基里曼终于抓住了重点,但脸上却浮现出十分痛苦且难为的表情。

“不,你误会了,我对于宗教这些东西完全不感兴趣。

我的意思是,你需要接受这些信仰和崇拜所带来的额外力量,然后运用它们与那些投靠混沌邪神的恶魔原体们对抗。

只有你变得足够强大,可以摆平大多数在现实宇宙中的敌人,我才能更好的进行自己的计划,成为人类之主期待的搅局者,把这个死气沉沉毫无希望的宇宙彻底搅乱。

所以加油吧,尊贵的帝国摄政阁下,要知道你所要面对的敌人可比一万前年要强大太多。”

左思直截了当把话挑明了。

毕竟在大远征时期可还没有泰伦虫族的入侵,太空死灵们同样也没有成规模的从沉睡中醒来,就连钛族也只是一群刚刚学会使用火的原始土著。

而那个时代人类不仅拥有皇帝这个能正面对抗混沌邪神的超级战力,还有二十个半神原体和数以百万计的庞大阿斯塔特军团。

不过罗伯特·基里曼显然不太想讨论信仰和亚空间之间的联系,直接把话题一转,用不是很确定的语气问:“你故意让那支舰队离开并给了他们大量的信息,是想要把钛族变成对抗亚空间混沌势力的先锋和盟友吗?”

“不光是亚空间,还有太空死灵。”

说着,左思抬起手启动会议室以内的投影设备,在空旷的中间位置上把整个银河系投影了出来,然后指着钛族势力范围边缘的一块星区反问道:“你知道这里是什么地方吗?”

“什么地方?”

罗伯特·基里曼下意识问了一句,显然对于这片帝国疆域之外的黑暗地区一无所知。

“它是太空死灵最强大王朝之一——索泰克。

统治者“风暴王”伊莫特克只要有意愿,随时都可以发动一场足以席卷四分之一甚至半个银河的战争。

相信你应该最清楚这些家伙的科技与火力有多么恐怖,不是吗? 所以在这种情况下,我认为不光不应该对新生的钛文明发动攻击,反而应该支持他们、帮助他们,让他们成为横在这些可怕敌人中间的缓冲带。

如此一来,不管是亚空间大裂缝中的恶魔,还是强大的太空死灵,亦或是泰伦虫族的主力,想要对人类发动战争都需要先摧毁钛族人的军事力量。

你要明白在这场博弈中,要是不能充分利用每一颗棋子的价值是无法赢得最终胜利的。

因此我不光会与钛族保持联络和贸易往来,甚至还会支持他们的科技发展。

不过别担心,他们并不会因此而成为人类的竞争者乃至敌人。

我已经为他们安排好了一切,甚至是最终的结局。”

在说这番话的时候,左思的眼睛里闪烁着令人不寒而栗的幽光。

那种强烈的恶意甚至就连罗伯特·基里曼都清晰的感受到了,同样也放下了对于钛族的戒备和担忧。

足足过了一分钟,他才又一次抬起头试探道:“塞莱斯汀说她将所有原体的基因样本都交给你了。你打算用它们做什么?”

听到这句话,左思顿时浮现出神秘的微笑,非常干脆的回应道:“相信我,有些事情你还是不知道的为好。”

瞬间!

罗伯特·基里曼意识到了眼前这个全身上下由钢铁构成的未知存在绝对进行着什么可怕的实验和计划,说不定自己那位皇帝父亲还是同谋。

察觉到这一点之后,他果断结束了这些不能让外人知道的秘密,开始讨论关于生产更多武器、装备和战舰的事情。

随着远征第一舰队的节节胜利,帝国摄政已经开始不再满足于只在一条战线上进行反击,而是想要在多条战线上给予那些敌人迎头痛击。

左思对此倒是没有什么太大的意见,表示只要帝国能运来足够的原材料,自己这边的全自动流水线工厂根本不会有任何问题。

……

与此同时,在巨大城市的下方入口处,大量获得批准从舰队上下来进行短暂放松和娱乐的“虚空之子”们,正用满是震惊和难以置信的目光巡视四周,感受着这里慵懒、闲暇和没有半点压力的氛围。

作为帝国海军中的一员,他们当中有许多人一辈子都只能生活在飞船上,根本没有见过行星的地面和天空是什么样子。

甚至有些就是在飞船上出生,在飞船上死亡,终其一生就在船上狭小压抑的社会中生活,简直凄惨到了极点。

所以一旦获得登上行星进入城市的机会,每一个人都非常的珍惜。

一名看上去二十岁上下的青年此刻正站在路边摊上,一边疯狂往嘴里塞各种味道的小吃,一遍泪流满面的不知道在低声念叨着什么。

不光是他,周围其他的海军士兵和军官也都露出了差不多的反应。

长期吃纯粹是为营养和能量补充为目的的速食食品,突然之间品尝到真正食物的味道,不亚于一下子地狱升到了天堂。

部分人甚至开启了暴饮暴食模式,专门挑那些重口味的食物不断刺激麻木的味蕾。

“该死!我们以前吃的都是什么垃圾。”

“这里简直就是美食的天堂!如果可以的话我希望自己退役的时候能来这里定居!”

“谁说不是呢。我听本地居民说,他们完全不需要工作,只需要签署一份出卖灵魂的契约,就可以这样一辈子吃喝玩乐到死。”

“出卖灵魂?”

“没错。不过人都已经死了,灵魂又算得了什么呢。反正我只想要活着的时候好好享受,至于死后会怎么样完全无所谓。”

“就是,我们连死都不怕,害怕死后灵魂的归属吗?”

“可是……这里好像脱离了帝国的统治,以后也许会有麻烦也说不定呢。”

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, our lives are only a few decades to a hundred years. As long as we can live here for more than thirty years, it will be a sure win."

"Hahaha! That's true. I really hope this expedition can end soon. Come, cheers. I hope everyone can survive and come back here to reunite."

"cheers!"

Accompanied by cheers that became increasingly excited due to the effects of alcohol and food, the naval officers and soldiers completely let themselves go, and some were so drunk that they were not even conscious.

Looking at these dissolute figures, a passing Grey Knight couldn't help but shake his head and grumble: "What a bunch of depraved bastards. Maybe they shouldn't have been allowed to disembark in the first place."

"Well, don't be so harsh. After all, they are just mortals, and they have just experienced a series of intense battles. It is understandable that they want to relax and vent. Compared to this insignificant matter, let's focus on this mission. You know, the Thousand Sons are not easy to deal with."

Another Grey Knight who was traveling with him patted his brother on the shoulder.

Ever since learning that the Thousand Sons Legion had attacked the underground laboratory where the Primarch's genetic samples were stored, Robert Guilliman had ordered the accompanying Grey Knights to investigate in order to confirm the identities of these people.

After all, no one is more expert in fighting Warp daemons and psionics than the Grey Knights.

Just like that, after obtaining Dao Zuo Si's authorization, a small team of ten Grey Knights quickly arrived at the door of the deepest laboratory by means of transportation.

At this moment, the cracks originally created by the nuclear explosion have been completely blocked, and most of the remaining Thousand Sons power armors have been swallowed, decomposed, and reassembled, leaving only a very small number of wreckages still intact.

However, when the leading captain saw the ruby-studded staff on the ground, he immediately exclaimed with a serious face: "Supreme Wizard? There are actually more than fifteen Supreme Wizards launching a surprise attack this time!"

"Sorcerer Supreme? What's that?"

An advanced New Phyrexian creation with independent consciousness and thinking took the initiative to ask.

The Grey Knight Captain glanced at the strange humanoid creature and explained directly: "They are the most favored by Tzeentch, and are also the most powerful masters of the secret arts, possessing almost unlimited psychic power.

It is said that the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme can even predict the future.

Some guys who have completed the demon ascension ritual and become demon princes can even crush a planet directly.

Fortunately, these people obviously do not possess such powerful psychic powers.

But it's still pretty scary to have so many of them at once.

In addition, those peculiarly shaped psychic swords belong to wizards, who are particularly good at creating spells such as psychic fire and lightning.

Even among the Thousand Sons Legion, which is mostly composed of psykers, they are the elite among the elite.

Only members recognized by Magnus himself are eligible for promotion.

You can understand that apprentices are the new recruits in the Thousand Sons Legion, wizards are the veterans and grassroots commanders, and the Supreme Wizard is equivalent to a senior commander or even a company commander.

Dispatching so many high-end combat forces at once is more than enough to even wipe out a heavily guarded planet."

As the Grey Knight Captain gave his explanation, he squatted down and carefully observed the paint and patterns on the staffs, psychic swords, and power mecha wreckage.

After a while, he obtained the corresponding information from some of the marks with personal identification, and began to compare it with the intelligence information held by the empire, and finally gave a straightforward conclusion.

"These guys are the men of Azek Ahriman, the captain of the First Company of the Thousand Sons Legion."

"Azek Ahriman? Tzeentch's Chosen!"

The New Phyrexian creation instantly retrieved the corresponding information from the database that Zuo Si had injected into the sparkling oil.

The Grey Knight Captain nodded slightly: "Yes, that's him.

According to our records, the last time this guy was seen was during Abaddon's Thirteenth Black Crusade.

Be careful, he is no less dangerous than the Daemon Primarch Magnus, maybe even more so.

And Azek Ahriman has a habit, that is, once he sets his eyes on something or someone, he will never give up easily until he succeeds.

He will keep trying until he gets what he wants.”

"Humph! If you are not afraid of death, just let him come."

With a voice full of contempt, the Skull Taker slowly walked out of the darkness.

When his half-demon, half-mechanized body appeared in front of the Grey Knights, everyone immediately and nervously entered combat mode.

After all, they have been dealing with demons for a long time and know better than anyone what a demon of this size and color means.

But soon, the captain realized that the one in front of him was the rumored completed Khorne Daemon. He immediately raised his hand to signal the team members to stay calm, and whispered tentatively: "Are you the guard here? It was you who thwarted the Thousand Sons' raid?"

"Who else do you think it would be?"

The Demon Judge grinned and asked a question.

At this point, the Grey Knights finally realized why the Thousand Sons elite raid that had given them such a headache ended in failure.

It’s not that they are not strong enough, nor that there is something wrong with the plan, but that the enemy they face is stronger than them, that’s all.


Recommendation
