Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 545 Traitor Lyandros, Abaddon Attacks

This is a great opportunity! While Calgar is fighting Abaddon, this Leandroth can switch sides.

"Master! What do you intend to do?"

“Let’s go to Calga first,” Rod said with a smile.

A short while later, Rhodes returned to Calga's room. Calga had just finished dealing with various military affairs and was about to rest when Rhodes suddenly appeared.

"Lord Rhodes, you, you're back again. Is there something you need me to do?" Calga was startled by Rhodes' sudden arrival, but after recognizing the person, he immediately stepped forward and asked.

Has Lord Rhodes not given up on sending him to infiltrate Chaos as a spy? He really can't do that!

“Tartarus, you’ve already written down what just happened, right? Show it to Calga,” Rhodes said.

Tartarus nodded, his eyes flashing with golden light, and Karga was instantly drawn into a mental illusion.

Tartarus possesses the ability to show others images of the future, and even images of the past.

He showed Karga a replay of what had just happened in Leandro's room, and even showed him the entire process of Leandro's downfall during his time in Otrama.

As a top-tier figure with the power of time and space, Tartarus's ability is so abnormal that as long as he discovers something, he can see that person's past.

Even predicting the other person's future!
"This, how is this possible, Leleandro! This traitor, this traitor, how dare he, how dare he do this?"

"That damned guy! How could I have trusted him so much?" After seeing everything, Calga was enraged beyond anything he had ever seen.
No wonder, no wonder Chaos learned about the mission to transport Superman's organs, no wonder they arrived at such a convenient time, no wonder they were able to bypass Altera's security measures and appear directly there.

This traitor even indirectly caused the deaths of countless comrades-in-arms and the Emperor's Imperial Guard, yet he was foolishly deceived by the other party, actually believing that the other party had reformed.

“Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.

His only loyalty was to the grand ceremony he had studied for hundreds of years, and when that ceremony was abolished, his entire worldview collapsed. "Rhodes snorted and said.

“Lord Rhodes, I will arrest this guy immediately, capture this traitor of the Ultramarines, and then execute him,” Calgar said.

The incident involving Leandro was too painful for him. He had trusted the other party so much, and even when he reported his own company commander, Calga, there was little punishment for it.

Because any Space Marine recruit would have done the same in that situation, it's just that Leandroth reported it directly to the Inquisition.

They even got him to become a priest in the Ultramarines Chapter, but everything changed after the Primarch returned! Lyandroth's attitude shocked Calgar.

"No, no, no, you can't arrest him now. Since you can't be an undercover agent, then let this Leandroos be the real undercover agent!"

"He doesn't know Abaddon's true identity. I'll have one of Abaddon's Chaos Space Marines contact him later," Rhodes said.

He needs a breach in the Vigilant Star's defenses, he needs chaos and disorder on the Vigilant Star, a complete free-for-all, to ensure that Forgrim can come over.

Even regarding the Ork, Rhodes still has a backup plan. The Ork cannot defeat the Ork, but neither can the humans completely defeat them.

“Lord Rhodes, he is just an adjutant, not someone holding a high-ranking position. Moreover, keeping him around might corrupt the other Ultramarines,” Calgar said.

“His chapter leader will probably ask you soon to let him become a chapter priest. Just agree to it,” Rhodes said.

“But Lord Rhodes, if he becomes a chapter priest, then he can do even more, and might even secretly change some beliefs,” Kalga said in astonishment.

“Corrupting Space Marine recruits isn’t that simple. I already have a concrete plan for this. Just do as I say, and I guarantee that apart from Calgar, all the Ultramarines will be fine,” Rhodes said.

If it weren't for the fear of arousing the other party's suspicion, Rhodes would have even considered giving him the position of chapter commander.

"Lord Rhodes! I... I need to contact the Father of Genetics," Calga said through gritted teeth.

This incident could potentially corrupt all the Ultramarines in the company, so he must handle it with extreme caution.

Rhodes nodded and, through the communication between the cosmic beasts, directly contacted Kirima, who was traveling in the warp.

"What happened? Why did Rhodes contact me so urgently?" Guilliman asked. "It's like this, Guilliman, you need to tell your genetic offspring in person that I've already gotten Calgar to the Vigilant Planet ahead of time," Rhodes explained his plan to Robert Guilliman.

“Rhodes, I agree to be your bait, but I cannot shirk my responsibility to my genetic offspring.”

"I agree with Calga's approach. It's too dangerous, and Lyderos is just a nobody; he's insignificant," Guilliman said.

To him, Leandro was just a minor character; the other party did not hold a high position among the Ultramarines, merely serving as a company lieutenant.

There's no need to risk making him a warband priest and giving him the opportunity to hatch hundreds of normal genetic offspring.

“You don’t understand. Forgrim is a perfectionist. If he knew about Leandroth, he would definitely find a way to come here,” Rhodes said.

"Rhodes! We've already planned it out. How do you want to deal with this Lederos? Whether you send him to be an undercover agent or have Calga interrogate him, it doesn't matter."

"But I cannot allow my genetic offspring to take any risks. I know your Cosmic Beast Energy can cleanse the power of chaos, but being corrupted by chaos is being corrupted by chaos," Guilliman said.

"Alright!" Rhodes sighed helplessly and hung up the communication with Guilliman.

"Thank you for your hard work, Calgar. I'll take care of Leandroth from now on, but I won't let him become a priest to corrupt the Ultra Warrior. I'll arrange someone to accompany him."

"Don't show any unusual behavior lately. I'll take care of dealing with him. Make sure he doesn't notice anything amiss, understand?" Rhodes said.

“I understand, Lord Rhodes. Rest assured, it’s for the sake of the Empire,” Calgar said.

Rhodes nodded and left Calga's room with Tartarus.

Next, Rhodes began preparing orders for the Babar aliens, who were impersonating Abaddon, to find a way to contact Lyandros after arriving on the Vigilant Star.

Since he had already betrayed Chaos once before, Leandroth should have some connections there.

Rhodes even estimated that soon, Fogrem would also send someone to find this person.

Time passed slowly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye. During this time, Calgar was also strengthening the mortal forces, starting with the defense forces on the Vigilant Star.

Calgar used a superhuman serum on these mortal troops. This serum is now in mass production and, after being injected with mortal soldiers, can bring their physical abilities to the level of the original Space Marines, enhancing their combat power. As for the combat nun troops...

Because there were no suitable genetic seeds and no way to complete the modification, they were also provided with superhuman drugs, which gave them even stronger physical abilities after injection.

A few days later, Abaddon's massive Chaos fleet tore through the warp and arrived at Vigilant Planet.

Abaddon's black fleet tore through the veil of the real universe, like countless blood-stained blades piercing the orbit of the Vigilant Star.

The roar of the Chaos army echoed in the storms of the warp, and the warmaster's banner flew high atop the spire of the flagship "Spirit of Vengeance," its crimson pupils fixed on the world about to fall.

"Warrior, we have successfully arrived at Vigilant Star and discovered a large number of Ultramarines and their ships on this planet," a Chaos Champion said as he approached Abaddon.

A lieutenant covered in Chaos Wizardry knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse like the scraping of rusty iron. Abaddon—or rather, the Babar alien disguised as a Warmaster—slowly raised his spiked arm armor. A holographic projection unfolded before the command throne. The surface of the Vigilant Planet was covered with countless anti-aircraft gun turrets, which gleamed with a dangerous light. The orbital defense platform "Ring of Steel" was adjusting its cannons.

"Maintain the phase shift of the Reaper fleet." The Chaos Warmaster's lips curled into a sinister grin. "Tell the warband leaders that I want to see the Iron Warriors' siege arrays establish forward fortifications within twelve hours. I want to take this planet and complete this great expedition."

"Yes, Warlord, the Chaos Warriors follow you," the Chaos Space Marine of the Iron Warriors said, kneeling.

"Go, take down the Vigilant Star."

Meanwhile, inside the surface command center of the Vigilant Star, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire hall.

Calgar jerked his head up from the tactical holographic console, his precision-engineered power armor gleaming a ghostly blue amidst the red alarm light. "Orbital monitoring station confirmed! The Chaos fleet exceeds the Black Expedition's record size! Chaos Warmaster Abaddon has arrived."

Just as Lord Rhodes had said, Abaddon's army had arrived.

“Everyone, don’t panic. I need to know the exact number of the Chaos Army. I need to know how many of them there are,” Calgar said.
