Warhammer: My buddy has too many secrets!

Chapter 162 All Tactics: Switching Sides (5/5)

What exactly is he?!

A satellite unrecorded from ten thousand years ago? Why would the Empire invest so heavily in this satellite?

The great raiders were puzzled.

However, if we trace back through history, this was actually the work of the seal-holder, Makado.

Before the rebellion began, Makador used his psionic abilities to throw the planet into a hidden corner of the warp, and by the time they returned to the material world, the Great Rebellion was over.

The Titans thus escaped the ravages of the Horusian rebellion, and within this satellite, an incredibly fortified monastery was already fully prepared.

It also contains everything needed to create a new Space Marine force, including a supply of genetic seeds and all the necessary weapons.

Unfortunately, the Master was unable to make any more detailed plans, so he appointed Janus, one of the eight original Space Marines, as the leader of the Grey Knights and gave him the title of Grand Master.

The events that occurred during the tenure of the Supreme Master who inherited the fragments of Pony's soul are now lost to history, as it took place 10 millennia ago. But now, so much time has passed, and the defenses on Titan have become even more despairing for attackers.

Countless pure runes, along with the entire history of humankind, countless great figures, and the deeds of nameless heroes buried in history, are all engraved on his earth's surface.

Weak demons cannot even get close to this planet before being banished from the real universe.

Such a peculiar image caught the attention of Warmaster Abaddon, who sent his Chaos Space Marines to investigate. Almost none of them returned alive.

Feeling challenged, the raiders began to send reinforcements. However, when their most elite troops were sent down, none of them returned alive. Only a fragmented video eventually returned to the Soul of Vengeance, revealing that those Chaos traitors had ultimately reached the gates of the Grey Knights.

The only valuable thing in that video was a picture, which showed a huge archway with some text that shone brightly on it.

"An indestructible shield before darkness descends; a blade forged in defiance of fate; let them be my legacy from conquering the galaxy, and my final gift to humanity I failed to protect."

Upon seeing this inscription, even Abaddon the Great Raider couldn't help but pause for a moment.

He had seen that carving technique before, in the hands of his former genetic father, and in the hands of the former war general Horus, where he had seen those magnificent carving patterns—and according to his father, this technique was something he had obtained from the emperor!

"There can't be any mistake."

Abaddon took a deep breath. There was no doubt that the text on it was carved by the false emperor himself!

This planet must be hiding secrets!

It holds the secret that made that false emperor want to hide this satellite even ten thousand years ago!

"Destroy him!"

Abaddon gave this order because he was certain that destroying the planet before him would inflict enormous damage on the Empire. Achieving this result should be a piece of cake for the current rebel fleet. Although Terra could not be conquered, destroying a small planet should be a breeze!

Abaddon thought confidently, and so he began to order the fleet to stockpile large cannons.

Without a doubt, the Queen of Glory actually possessed a massive macro cannon capable of easily destroying asteroids. After all, the Soul of Vengeance itself was an astonishing existence, and even the largest capital ships were insignificant in front of it. The giant acceleration cannon on the ship alone far exceeded the length of most other warships.

Hundreds of turrets covered the hull, making its flank firepower extremely powerful, capable of easily inflicting a fatal blow on the enemy fleet with a single salvo.

However, since they were all prepared to destroy the planet, it meant that the Vengeance Soul had to temporarily halt its retreat under the current circumstances.

This is a very serious taboo when being chased.

Even though Abaddon understood that since this planet held the last gift the False Emperor had given to humanity, it must be protected by a powerful void shield, and that overloading its defenses would require a period of charging up.

This period of preparation will give the followers of the false emperor the opportunity to board the ship of Vengeance.

"But as long as it's not the Primarch, as long as it's not Robert Guilliman, the Ultramarines, aboard the Soul of Vengeance, no one can stop our fleet from burning this planet to the ground!"

Abaddon thought so.

As for the being who had previously unleashed a sword strike that cast a shadow over Terra, Lancelot, who stood guard at the Lion's Gate, possessed white wings, and was even mistakenly identified by Abaddon as Saint Gilles, was no longer on his radar because of his advisor wizard's words.

"That guy is definitely not a Primarch! At most, he's a slightly different Astartes, or a psionicist. He actually dared to draw upon the power of that pseudo-Emperor; he's completely insane! There's absolutely no way he could have survived!"

"How foolish! He clearly has the aptitude to handle that level of power, yet he serves that false emperor! If he had joined the gods, his achievements would far exceed our imagination! He might even have been favored and become a demon prince!"

The Chaos Wizards spoke with such conviction, explaining that the False Emperor's power was cold and brutal destruction, except for...

Besides him and his Primarch, any life form capable of containing such power as his will inevitably perish!

This undoubtedly put Abaddon at ease.

To be honest, Abaddon admitted that he did panic when he saw that sword strike, but after learning from the Chaos Wizard that such an attack could not be replicated a second time, the Great Raider shifted his focus to Primarch Robert Guilliman.

The Primarch is still being held back by the surging Khornean forces on Terra, as are the Custodians. Given this, there should be no one left to stop them from destroying this Imperial Gift.

As the macro cannon began to charge up, small assault ships flew out from the Titan planet it had targeted and boarded the Vengeance Soul.

Having learned his lesson from the first incident on Terra, Abaddon understood how dangerous Primarchs were, so he did not choose to lead a team into Terra.

Even now, with the affirmative answer from his advisor wizard, Abaddon has already prepared the ships for warp jumps ahead of time.

This is a rehearsal for the worst-case scenario, which may be what sets this War Master apart from other Chaos War Gangs.

And at that very moment—

The Grey Knights' assault gunboats have crashed into the Vengeance Soul.

The signs of corruption were clearly visible on the armor of this massive warship, and the entire ship was surrounded by dense, dark energy. The corridors inside the ship were filled with the echoes of the crew members who had perished in the warp.

The once noble machine spirit of the Vengeance Soul has now degenerated into a creature solely for slaughter, but for the Grey Knights, this place is also an indescribably sinister place.

The Emperor once shed his blood in this very place; the Grey Knights must be extremely cautious.

Thump, thump, thump, the psionic lightning flashed, just after the Grey Knight boarded the Vengeful Spirit.

Amidst the swirling mist, Lancelot, carrying a lantern crafted from the Space Stone, arrived aboard this legendary ship that had once determined the future of humanity after approaching Saturn via the Imperial fleet.

There are many techniques in space warfare, and there are many techniques in war, but Lancelot is actually completely ignorant of all of them. However, in this world of space opera, as long as you know one tactic, you can roam freely!

Boarding action!

Lancelot is a professional!

"First, recruit more members."

After a day and a night of rest, Lancelot had initially regained his combat abilities, but the aftereffects of Overload Mode had not yet subsided, making it unsuitable for him to personally take action.

But Lancelot's mastery of the Shadow Forest is now quite formidable; the Skargo orc's head was taken by Lancelot.

It was taken out.

"waaagh!"

At that moment, an orcish war cry resounded throughout the spirit of vengeance!
