Warhammer Inquisitor

Chapter 324 The Rise of the Primarch: War Commander, Will Not Refuse to Challenge
The Terminator armor strode down the corridors of the battleship. It was heavy enough when one Terminator walked, but when dozens of Terminators walked together, the shock was literally earth-shattering.

Everyone in the corridor immediately retreated to the sides. Those rebel navy sailors who took refuge in Chaos, the Dark Mechanic priest and their servitors, and even the Chaos Space Marines who passed through the corridor retreated to the side subconsciously. People passing by make a way.

Warmaster Abaddon was walking in the corridor, he was wearing Terminator walking in the corridor of the Vengeful Soul, dozens of guards also wearing Terminator armor followed behind him, they followed the person in front of him. The Warmaster walked mightily through the corridor leading to the bridge.

When Abaddon came, everyone turned away from him. In fear, the mortals quickly retreated to the sides and stood against the wall, for fear that they would be crushed because they would block the way of the Warmaster and his guards. Those Chaos Space Marines who were also the Black Legion also stepped to the sides and bowed to the Warmaster.

But although they were bowing to Abaddon, the latter didn't even look at them. Abaddon took his escorts past the floor-to-ceiling windows along the bridge corridor, and Abaddon glanced at the fleet assembled outside the window. , countless teleportation cracks are flashing in the dark galaxy background, and a giant ship is jumping out of it.

Abaddon looked at the fleets that were assembling towards him. He didn't say anything but turned his head and walked straight to the gate at the end of the corridor. The Chaos Warmaster strode towards the steel gate. When Abaddon walked in front of it The door slid open immediately to the sides, as if afraid that he would be smashed for blocking Abaddon.

Abaddon walked into the bridge, and the Terminator guards behind him also walked into it. The Warmaster walked straight to the holographic platform of the bridge in front of him, where Cyxos, Otik, and a The officers of the Black Legion war fleet were already waiting there.

"Tell me, Cyxos, what do you have to tell me?" Abaddon walked in front of Cyxos and asked. The tall warmaster stood in front of Cyxos like a mountain, and he overlooked the front. The Admiral of the Black Legion, who looked up at the Warmaster's eyes for a moment and then clicked on the holographic panel beside him.

As Cyxos clicked, an image of a person appeared on it. It was a man wearing a golden power armor. All Chaos Space Marines and traitors in that armor were extremely familiar and hated, but also extremely fearful. Earth armor, because that armor once belonged to a man who made these traitors, and even their masters of the four gods, terrified.

"Corpse King?!" A guard behind Abaddon exclaimed. All the Terminators around him instinctively took a step back, taking a few steps back under the golden armor and the golden halo behind him. Only Abaddon stood firmly in front of the image and looked at the man, and the Warmaster frowned and walked to the table.

"No, it's not the fake emperor, it's Vito." Abaddon growled, he looked at the holographic image of Vito in front of him, all the Chaos Space Marines leaned back up, and they looked at Vito's face on the image , a person can see God.

"Marshal? Is it the marshal?" A guard behind Abaddon asked in a low voice to the other person beside him, who nodded lightly and looked at the image, "It's him, sure, Marshal Vito is still with him. Looks the same in memory, but how does he wear his armor?"

Abaddon glared at the guards behind him from the corner of his eye. Everyone immediately stopped from their memories. The Terminators stood behind Abaddon and took a few steps back. Then Abaddon turned to look at the man in front of him, wrinkled. brow.

"Did you call me here just to let me see him and let me know who I'm fighting?" Abaddon turned his head slightly to look at Cyxos beside him, his eyes were as terrifying as a sharp knife.

"Do you think I can't beat him, and use this method to persuade me to retreat? Cyxos, are you afraid?" Abaddon growled, but Cyxos shook his head slightly, his With his palm still pressed on the interface, he looked at Abaddon with a slightly worried look.

"No, my lord, the Marshal put out a holographic speech in the public band of the solar system, and we got it, and we thought maybe you should take a look, but"

"But what? Cyxos," Abaddon asked in a low voice that sounded like the hiss of a bolt slowly swiping through the barrel of a gun, sending a throbbing in the back. numb.

"The marshal's speech may displease you, my lord." Cyxos said in a low voice, as if to remind Abaddon, but the latter raised his head slightly and looked at Cyxos in front of him.

"Play it."

"My lord, I must remind you that its content is very specific."

"Play it, I won't repeat the same command twice, Cyxos."

The warmaster gave the order with a low growl and then looked at the image. After Cyxos and Otik beside him looked at each other, Otik nodded slightly to Cyxos, and then the Admiral of the Black Fleet was there. After taking a deep breath, I pressed the play button.

The video started playing. Abaddon watched Vito's speech, and his face changed abruptly as he listened to the speech. When he said "We will defeat his failed son Abaddon as we did Horus", the current Warmaster Abaddon's anger exploded.

Abaddon roared and smashed the holographic imaging device in front of him with a fist. The furious Warmaster slammed his huge power iron fist and lightning claws on the electronic desktop, and the numerical control display screen was completely shattered at the first blow. , the broken glass shards spread out and hit the Astartes standing around.

Everyone instinctively stepped back, even Abaddon's own escort members wanted to step back. No one wanted to stand by Abaddon's side when he was angry. Except for Cyxos, he continued to stand. Abaddon's anger stood calmly at the table.

The Admiral of the Black Fleet watched as his Warmaster kept slamming the holographic instrument in front of him, his iron fist slammed on the instrument again and again, and he watched Vito's image and his anger was as vigorous as a boiler that was constantly being thrown into coal. , Under his slap, the entire tabletop completely fell apart, the twisted and deformed metal finally broke under the deformation, and the entire holographic instrument completely collapsed and hit the ground to one side.

After the holographic instrument was completely paralyzed, Vito's image finally flickered and disappeared. Cyxos looked at the collapsed instrument and looked at Abaddon again. Abaddon, who was standing in front of the pile of steel wreckage, snorted angrily. The already scarlet eyes became even more blood red under the anger, and the bloodshot eyeballs were covered with bloodshots.

Abaddon suddenly raised his head and pointed at Cyxos, "Order the fleet to set sail! Immediately attack Terra! I want that old bastard to sit on the golden throne with the false emperor! I will cut him into pieces. Hang on the edge of the throne!"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Warmaster, but our fleet has not completed the expected assembly, and a considerable number of fleets are on the way." Cyxos poured cold water on him with no fear of Abaddon's anger, and he did so. Having paid the price, Abaddon stretched out his paw before Cyxos finished speaking and grabbed Cyxos' neck.

Abaddon roared and grabbed Cyxos and strode out, and then slammed it against the wall. The black fleet admiral was hit like a cannonball on the steel wall of the bridge, and the entire wall was sunken inward. Going down, Cyxos was slammed into the wall by Abaddon and strangled.

"You failed! Cyxos, you let me down!" Abaddon roared and pinched Cyxos' neck. The huge force quickly made Cyxos feel unable to breathe, and his throat was killed. Going down hard, breathing became difficult and short, the Admiral looked at the Warmaster in front of him with his head raised and his eyes lowered, and he squeezed his words out of Abaddon's claws with a painful mouth.

"Killing me won't help, Warmaster, your anger can't be released here." Cyxos looked at the furious Abaddon in front of him with a livid face. He was like a wolf that exploded after being provoked. The blood-red eyes flashed red, and the teeth clung to each other in the mouth.

Abaddon looked at Cyxos and threw Cyxos to the ground with a roar. He turned around and roared and walked to one side. When he passed a terminal platform, he punched the instrument in the opposite direction, and it exploded. The instrument's mutilated cable structure was attached around his arm, and tiny throbbing arcs struck the iron fist punched out of the instrument's back.

"What happened? Why wasn't my order being carried out?" Abaddon growled and drew his fist. He stood a few steps away with his back to Cyxos, who had just come off the ground. Climbing up, he rubbed his pinched neck and coughed to answer the commander's question.

"Cough! The outer fleet was intercepted by the entire Sun Fleet and dozens of Astartes in the process of returning to defense. The Night Lord and the Death Guard were originally sharp knives to delay the return of the Empire, but now because of Inserted too deep and caught by the body of the Empire's vast fleet and unable to pull it out."

"Midnight Lords and the others can't get out of the war now, except for the white scars that fought against them in guerrilla warfare on the periphery, and the Raven Guards. Now, according to the latest news, the various war fleets of the Ultramarines are also missing in the Maelstrom in Guilliman. After the star field, Guilliman's last order was executed."

"If Guilliman is unable to lead the fleet, the chapter leaders and the highest military commander of each battle group will continue to carry out the return order issued by the Primarch and lead their respective fleets into pieces, gather each other as much as possible, and then rush towards Terra. , without caring about the life and death of the primarch himself, and spared no effort to relieve Terra."

"Did the Ultramarines do what they did? They left their fathers behind?" Abaddon turned his head to look at Cyxos who stood up and asked in a low voice. Nodding.

"Yes, Warmaster, the Ultramarines faithfully executed their orders as always. The largest main fleet was reorganized by Captain Mikael, and it still broke into the outer periphery of the solar system from the eastern side of the solar system. , stabbed like a dagger into our blockade."

"Not only that, there are many chapters that are urgently joining the battle, among them the Tauren chapter, the Tauren people are like lunatics, completely disregarding any need for protection along the way, the entire chapter is not wanting to ask for help on the empire planet and friendly forces. They attacked Terra like their fate, and they almost successfully reached the transition point. If it hadn't been intercepted in time by a returning defense fleet of the Iron Warriors, the Tauren Chapter would have broken into the solar system."

Cyxos looked at the angry Abaddon, his eyes were now enough to frighten a mortal to the point where his heart exploded. Even Astarte would have to be scared to death, but Cyxos had no choice. Admiral of the Black Fleet, he must face Abaddon's wrath.

"Now the peripheral fleet has been unable to come back and gather with us. If they leave, the empire's huge reinforcements will immediately enter the solar system, and our military advantage will be instantly resolved. We can only rely on the current troops, War Commander. "

Abaddon watched Cyxos silent for a moment, then let out a low growl, he turned his head and walked to the huge glass window of the bridge to look at the fleet outside, those fleets that barely escaped from the front line to gather here.

The Warmaster looked at them, his red eyes reflecting a faint halo on the glass window, "You said Guilliman disappeared in the Maelstrom? What about Huron? Did you ask him to catch Guilliman?"

"Astral Whisperer contacted the Red Pirates but Huron said he didn't catch Guilliman but I'm sure he was lying, the spy we sent inside the Red Pirates told me he saw Huron take a huge The battleship took it back to Blackrock Fortress, and then secretly held a group of people on the fortress, and he refused to tell us who it was, but I'm sure it was Guilliman."

"Huron wants to hide from you and secretly offer this gift to the Four Chaos Gods to challenge your status, Warmaster." Cyxos said behind Abaddon, and the Warmaster looked at Ser from the mirror reflection of the window. After Kessos raised his head slightly, "Did he succeed?"

"No, no, our spies say Blackrock Fortress was attacked by an entire company of the Cursed Legion and a group of blue-armored Astartes, the red pirates have no idea where they came from, but They were led by a fallen angel, who was armed with two guns and a great sword. He led the assaulting troops through the corridors of Blackrock Fortress, broke into the prison, rescued Guilliman and the others, and then evacuated the large Vortex area."

"What about Huron? How is he?" Abaddon asked in a low voice, while Cyxos shrugged slightly as if it was some good news, "Our arrogant young ally who tried to betray you, fought against the fallen angel. There was a fight, and the result was quite tragic, one of his eyes was blind, and the mechanical body was also heavily scarred by the fallen angel, and it is said that it is currently undergoing repairs at the Dark Mechanic Sect.

"Hmph, this is the only piece of good news. A foolish betrayal plan failed." Abaddon said, looking out the window at the magnificent battleship flying past, the heavy cruiser spewing dazzling fire at the soul of the Vengeful Spirit. Flying down from the side, swooping to join the part of the fleet circling below.

"Where's Guilliman? Is he whereabouts?"

"No, Commander, we don't have any news about the Emperor's Thirteenth Son. He disappeared with the mysterious fallen angel, and has never heard of him since."

Abaddon looked at a battleship outside the window and raised his head. It was a gray-black battleship with a long-winged sword branded on the side of its armor. "Who is that fallen angel?"

"Seifer, Warmaster, that mysterious fallen angel, I asked the fallen angel veterans who cooperated with us, and they said that Saifo was already an outlier knight, and he has been away from his brothers for a long, long time, No one knows what he's doing or why he's doing it."

Cyxos walked behind Abaddon and looked at the fleet out of the window with him. It must be said that he was very courageous, and even dared to walk up to Abaddon when Abaddon was so angry.

But he was lucky, or rather, his talent kept Abaddon from killing him, Abaddon may have been on the verge of stubbornness and madness, but he was still a wise leader, and he knew that those with talent and talent were Those who cannot be easily killed, it is more useful to keep them than to kill them.

In order to conquer Terra and kill the false emperor to end the eternal war, Abaddon needs the help of someone like Cyxos, so he will not really kill him although he is angry.

"How much military advantage does our fleet have over Terra?" Abaddon asked sharply, while Cyxos looked at the fleet outside the window, his eyes darting from the huge fleet assembled around the Spirit of Vengeance. Passing by, as if counting them.

"Our current strength is three times that of Terra, and the strength of Astarte is more than ten times the difference. We can attack the Warmaster."

"No, don't underestimate Marshal, Cyxos, the fleet in the hands of Marshal Vito has not opened a huge gap with us, he can still use the defense array on the ground and orbit to make up for the gap in the number of warships, in the face of those heavy Orbital defense system, our current number of warships does not have a crush-level advantage."

Ortyk walked behind Warmaster and Cyxos, and the Iron Warrior's war blacksmith stood beside Abaddon and said solemnly, "Warmaster, our fleet cannot guarantee a complete defeat of the Marshal, you know that his military talents have How remarkable, he was called a tactical and strategist as talented as Horus."

"You mean, am I inferior to him? Ortyk." Abaddon growled and stared at the war blacksmith, but the latter was not at all afraid of the murderous look, and Ortyk raised his head and looked directly at him into Abaddon's eyes.

"I'm just doing my duty, War Commander, as a high-ranking officer of the Black Expeditionary Force. Let me remind you, my lord, that our fleet is insufficient and we cannot guarantee absolute victory."

"Contact the casting general of Mars and ask him to send his Mechanicist fleet to join us. Since he wants me to spare his life and give them the forbidden technology that the Emperor prohibits touching, then he needs to show sincerity, Loyalty, let him join the war, and the number of us with the Mechanicist fleet is enough."

"No, Warmaster, this is the problem. We have lost contact with the casting general on Mars. We have not heard from the last contact, and the representative of the Dark Mechanic Sect to Mars has also disappeared. I think the casting general is either because The Marshal's presence has come back, or he's been killed, but now we can't use the power of Mars."

"And if the Mechanicus chooses to support the Marshal, they will send their own fleet to Terra, so that the ratio of our troops to the Marshal will only be doubled, the gap will be even smaller, and the absolute advantage of the orbital defense system will continue to shrink. ."

Ortyk was quite bold. Since he told Abaddon the news of the failure directly, the warmaster turned around and walked over to Ortyk, overlooking the war blacksmith like a giant wolf looking at its prey. His huge sense of majesty directly all Pressed on the war blacksmith.

"You've brought me another disappointing news, Otik. This is the second time you've brought this kind of news. Tell me, is there anything else you want to say?"

"I suggest to retreat, Warmaster, use our still strong military power to attack and occupy other areas of the empire, and establish a stable position from the warp into the physical universe, so that the demon army can continue to flow and steadily enter the physical universe to strengthen us. The power of ours allows us to contend with the Marshal and Guilliman."

"No, Oetik, on the contrary, we must not leave, Guilliman is returning to Terra, and Vito has reappeared on Terra, slaughtering those stupid high lord idiots, he united Given the political power of the Empire, if Guilliman rendezvous with him, the Empire's huge war potential will be unleashed, and it will be even more difficult for us to achieve absolute victory."

"Our war with the empire will become a war of attrition, and the time of the eternal war will be prolonged again. God knows how long. Now is our best chance. Terra is still isolated and helpless, and we allow the local military advantage to take advantage of it. This is a rare opportunity to capture Terra and kill the false emperor! This will tear open the gates of the Web Road and turn Terra into a new Eye of Terror to tear apart the empire! Guilliman will not be able to fight with us. Confrontation, I will win. Victory!"

Abaddon said, but Oetik frowned and looked at the warmaster in front of him, "I must remind you, the warmaster, the marshal is also on Terra, he will definitely block our attack with all his strength and break through midnight for the peripheral reinforcements. The lords' defenses bought time, and as more imperial reinforcements arrived, the outer blockade could not last long."

"Isn't that right? Doesn't this excite you, Oetik?" Abaddon said, looking down at the war blacksmith in front of him, his eyes filled with excitement?An almost crazy excitement.

The warmaster turned his head to look at the dark Milky Way outside the window, and looked at the shining Terra star in the distance, "This kind of battle is the most interesting, a crushing victory without any suspense? No, I won't be able to fight for a long time. It ended so boringly."

"He's challenging me, Vito he's challenging me, just like Horus, and I'm not going to lose like the weak Horus, I'll win, I'll beat him and then in Terra's palace crown me on the throne with that epic battle."

Abaddon watched Terra raise his power claws, and he looked up at the planet, as if the throne world was already in his hands, "I accept his challenge and order the fleet to set off."

Cyxos and Oetik looked at each other, bowed to Abaddon together, and walked to the inside of the bridge. Abaddon continued to stand in front of the window. He looked at Terra in the distance, a huge giant beneath him. The battleship of the Soul of Vengeance is slowly turning, and it and the thousands of black fleet battleships around it are turning in the direction of the throne world.

The huge jet of flames lit up the edge of the solar system like a large meteor. In the black night sky, it was as if the entire universe was on fire, and the huge fleet of destruction was flying towards the planet under Abaddon.

"I will take Terra, and I will burn the galaxy!"

Abaddon clenched his fists sharply, submerging that Terra in his power claws. It was the bell of war, the silent announcement of destruction.
