Duanmu Huai stood on the bridge, staring at the river of nets that kept flowing in front of him, his fingers lightly tapping on the seat. The appearance of Typhons, Mortarian, and the Chaos Space Marines is like a prologue, completely opening the prelude to the eternal war between chaos and order, evil gods and humans in this universe.

But he was always a little uneasy inside, and of course, this tension was normal, because this time they were going to a casting world......... Wait, is it really a casting world? Why Foundry World?

Suddenly, such a question emerged from Duanmu Huai's mind, there are so many worlds, why would it be the casting world that survived? If it is the garden world, he can understand it better, and the casting world ......... Can those nest cities that produce machinery and equipment really exist for more than tens of thousands of years?

Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Hitomi again.

"Hitomi, continue to look down on the sea of souls, what do you find? Lani, assist her. ”

"Okay."

The Star Whisperer began to meditate again, and Lani stood beside Hitomi, and she froze for a moment.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Lani's tone, Duanmu Huai also frowned.

"There's something that distorts the colors of this starry sky, wait......... Hitomi, concentrate attention. ”

As she spoke, Lani reached out and pressed it on Hitomi's shoulder, and then the endless starry sky spread out behind her, and Hitomi's thin body began to tremble, and then beads of sweat began to seep from her forehead.

"I......... I......... Ranny-sama, Inquisitor........."

"Concentrate, Hitomi, don't lose your will and spirit."

Duanmu Huai didn't know what Lani and Hitomi were doing, but it was obvious that something was not quite right in front of him, and he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the fleet to slow down. It was clear that Hitomi did feel something, but judging by the way she looked, it didn't seem like a good thing.

After a few moments, two of Raani's hands suddenly raised, and a dazzling starlight emerged from her hands, enveloping Hitomi's body, and the Star Whisperer collapsed to the ground.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Inquisitor."

Hitomi, bathed in starlight, is like a poor puppy abandoned at the moment.

"I, I'm ........."

"Calm down, what's going on? To put it bluntly. ”

"Starry Sky......... Blinded my perception and misled everything I saw. ”

"So, the call for help doesn't exist?"

Duanmu Huai frowned, and Hitomi shook her head.

"No, the call for help exists, but it doesn't come from that minted planet, it comes from a completely different message, and I can feel the devastating, bloody, and terrifying aura coming from that system...... Forgive me, Lord Inquisitor, for my foolishness of narrowly leading the fleet into a land of no return........."

"So you're saying that a distress signal exists, but it doesn't come from the original Foundry, it's just disguised as a Foundry world's distress signal to mislead us into going to another galaxy?"

“………………………”

Hitomi was silent, nodded, and fell to her knees.

"I'm sorry, Inquisitor, but I'm not ......... enough."

"It's not your fault, I can guess what the hell this is a trick, it's not surprising that you'll be fooled, but luckily Lani is ........."

Duanmu Huai didn't get angry because of this, he had such a star whisperer under Hitomi, and Hitomi's ability could only barely be regarded as just developed. Although Duanmu Huai himself can use psionic energy, he is not a Star Whisperer, he can only rely on the rules of the Inquisition to restrain Hitomi's actions, but he cannot instruct Hitomi how to use his Star Whisperer ability.

Those evil gods are all old oilies who have been mixed with subspace for I don't know how many years, and it is normal for Hitomi not to see through their intrigues.

"So now, you've captured the original signal?"

"Yes, Inquisitor."

Hitomi bowed her head.

"The signal came from a galaxy called Istfan, whose star three sent a distress signal, claiming that the Imperial Governor had rebelled and requested fleet support ........."

"So, this is a rebellion, not an alien invasion."

Duanmu Huai said this, frowning, he didn't know why, he always felt that the name of the Istfan Galaxy seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

“…………… Want to move on? Master? ”

Looking at Duanmu Huai, who had fallen silent, Ogis asked, and Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"Wait a minute, I always feel that this galaxy is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere..............."

Duanmu Huai began to think about the memories, first the copies he had experienced, and then some of the worlds that everyone was familiar with in the game, but he couldn't find the name, but he was really familiar with the name, as if he had heard of it somewhere, and felt that this galaxy was still very important.

Well......... Not the Eye of Fear, not the Five Hundred Worlds, not Terra......... Istfan, Istfan...... Rebellion......... Well?

At this moment, a message passed through Duanmu Huai's thoughts like lightning, and suddenly made him recall.

Horus Rebellion!

The source of this rebellion that destroyed the entire empire, led by the emperor's original genes and the commander of the Great Expeditionary Legion, is the star of Istefan III! According to historical records and player research, Horus gathered a large number of Primordial legions to quell the rebellion under the pretext of the Istvin rebellion, but this was only an excuse. István's rebellion was a decoy to purge the Space Marines who remained loyal to the Empire and the Emperor, and Horus used Istfan's Purge to sweep away all opposition from his legions and begin a counterattack on Terra, the first step in the Emperor's war of betrayal.

Of course, purely from a personal point of view, Duanmu Huai can understand why Horus rebelled, it turns out that the emperor is really a fool, if Horus does not choose to surrender to the chaos evil god, but directly kills back Terra, then Duanmu Huai will watch the show directly next to him.

It's like a dynastic change in history, where Horus would step into the sacred palace of Terra under the petals of a flower, then come to the main hall, smash the emperor's dog head with a hammer, and then sign that he would inherit the throne.

Hmm, is there a problem with that?

No problem at all.

In fact, from a political standpoint, it is very reasonable for Horus to want to rebel, he took the title of war commander given by the emperor, and continued to play the role of commander of the Great Expedition, but Terra did not become Horus's backing, and the Council of Terra took away most of the political power of the war commander, which made Horus extremely annoyed.

This was normal, the Great Expedition had not yet ended, and logically speaking, since Horus was going to continue the Great Expedition, he naturally needed all political and military command. However, upon his return to Terra, the Emperor stripped Horus of most of his political rights and handed it over to the Council of Terra. As a result, Horus was on a great expedition to conquer the planet, and the Terra Council was delayed.

There is an example of how stupid the Council of Terra is, Horus led an expeditionary force and conquered countless worlds to bring them to the glory of the Empire. It stands to reason that the next step is to appease these obedient planetary people, so that they can live a relatively normal life, so that most of the planets will not rebel, but will obediently bask in the glory of the empire.

But that's not what the Council of Terra thinks, Horus knocks down the planet on the front foot, and they send an army of tax collectors to conquer the planet to collect taxes, and they also levy heavy taxes.

This Nima can't bear to change any planet, so many people just died in front, and finally chose to surrender, but you imposed heavy taxes on us later, isn't this Nima forcing us to rebel?

If you don't fight back, you will die, so why not?

As a result, many planets that the Space Marines had managed to defeat rebelled again, so that the expeditionary force had to stop and return to quell the rebellion.

Horus was so angry that he couldn't do it. As a result, he appealed to Prime Minister Makado and the Emperor, but it was useless.

Once again, it proves that the emperor is really a fool except to live a long time. Unload the mill and kill the donkey, and wait for the end of the Great Expedition, and before the Great Expedition is over, you are in a hurry to cut the political power of the Space Marines and the Expeditionary Force, whose stupidity is comparable to that of Song Gaozong, and you are simply an idiot in the same vein.

Machado is not a Qin Hui character.

In fact, from a historical point of view, the two of them are similar to the pair of idiot emperor courtiers who hurriedly began to kill Yue Fei and cut their military power before they won the Jin soldiers.

So Horus wants to rebel and mutiny, which is really normal in Duanmuhuai's opinion. Besides, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and the emperor, a mentally retarded emperor, has ruled the human empire for so long, and it should be a head, if Horus really chooses to raise the flag of rebellion simply because of this, the locust at that end will not stop him at all.

Provided that he is not seduced by a stupid sword or a few twisted idiot evil gods.

That's right, that's why. You want to learn from Yang Guang, you want to learn from Li Shimin, it is normal to kill his father and brother to seize the throne, history is a cycle, the victor, the prince, the loser, what is incomprehensible. There are many similar emperors in history, and there are still a few celebrities in them.

But here's the thing, you can't be in cahoots with an evil god.

You want the throne, you want to seize power, you want revenge, that's fine. But when you turn around and walk with the Turks, the Jin, and the Mongols, the nature changes.

Therefore, at the moment when Horus and the evil god were at odds, he could not be Li Shimin's second, and could only be a traitor Wu Sangui who let the Qing army enter the customs. Even if there are 10,000 reasons, he can only be Wu Sangui's end.

The player's attitude towards the Horus Rebellion is basically clear, Horus's counter is inevitable, and Chaos Corrosion only accelerates the process. Even if chaos doesn't corrode, with the Terra Council's manipulation and the emperor's mental retardation, it will only be a matter of time before Horus is turned against him. At that time, even if the emperor builds a network, it will be useless, your network can block the Chaos Demon, can you stop the rebels of Horus?

Horus isn't a subspace creature, okay.

Put yourself in your shoes, who is in the position of the commander, there is a galaxy world full of dangers outside, and there is also the Terra Council in the rear, where the rebels are all over the place, and the people are not happy, so don't shout that the sky is dead, and the lotus sky should stand, and look at this Terra royal family is a pill.

Of course, it would be better if St. Giles didn't do it, so he was full of charm and persuaded MAX.

But now, what does it mean that this signal is coming from the István system? Is this still going to repeat itself in history, and another rebellion will not happen?

"Do you want to retreat?"

Seeing that Duanmu Huai didn't speak for a long time, Lani also asked, while Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"No, gather the First Fleet, and we'll go to Eastfan to see what the hell is going on there."

You play yin for Lao Tzu, hey, Lao Tzu is in a hurry to call Azathoth out for you directly, see who can play bigger!

It's a big deal to die together, I'm afraid you won't make it?
