4. Wake up and break the defense for the first time
Campfires crackled, and the shadows of the departing Tyranid swarms slipped like dark clouds across the deep, translucent sky.
Hades sighed, and he sat down by the fire, once again strengthening his mental construction.
It's a good place to drink something in this atmosphere, but unfortunately he doesn't even have water on hand except Taryn's biomass soup now.
Hades looked at Blake, "Say it." ”
Dark Angels of the First Legion...... Hades thought that if he died was a fallen angel, he said, if he sent a distress signal to the galaxy now, would he send "I am Hades, v me 50" will be found by others faster, or will he send "The First Legion has no secrets"?
The Dark Angels of the First Legion, known for their little secrets in the original books, were in Caliban, and Luthor led some of the Dark Angels on Caliban to rebel against the Empire, and then fought with the returning Lion King.
The process was quite chaotic, and the result was that the Caliban was blown to pieces, and most of the Dark Angels who participated in this flight were defined as "mutinied" fallen angels, and were harshly pursued by the First Legion.
But the fallen angels are ...... There are those who vote, there are those who don't, and there are even those who are loyal to the emperor, anyway, it's quite chaotic.
Hades blinked.
The two key figures who persuaded Luthor to rebel back then were Callas of the Death Guard, and Erebas, the Bearer.
But these two people have already escaped their original destiny under their own intervention, so they ...... The current situation of the First Army may not be so bad.
Hades is not worried that the lion king will rebel, although this big brother has a slightly low emotional intelligence, he is absolutely loyal to the emperor.
So much so that when the emperor appointed and dismissed Horus as the commander, he secretly called the lion king in private, saying that he knew that Leon was loyal and did not need to use the title of commander as a reward.
Loyal, too loyal.
Blake paused, scratching his head, "First Legion...... I don't know much. ”
Hades had no choice but to ask, "What is their home planet now?" ”
"Boulder Fortress." Blake replied.
Hades was stunned, Boulder Fortress? Caliban still blew up???
"What about their home planet, Caliban?"
"Blown up, sir."
"What about Leon Johnson?"
"Missing," said Black, "my lord, the people of your time are almost gone, but I know that there seems to be a warrior of your time in their legion, Luther. ”
Luther?!
Tiny Hades, big question mark.
Wait, if Luthor didn't fight back, how did the Caliban blow up?
It can't be the lion king, right?
No, no, no, Hades calmed down, it could be someone else, maybe someone jumped out of the corner.
"What else do you know?"
Hades asked, but he didn't expect Blake to say much, the matter of the First Legion, it is estimated that they have not figured out the inner ring of their own legion.
Blake shook his head.
Hiss......
Hades thought about it for a while, in the original book, in fact, the war between the Lion King and Luthor did not blow up the Caliban, what really made the Caliban explode was something called the Tuchucha engine.
The 41k Dark Angel wanted to stop the Caliban tragedy and stop the conspiracy of the fallen angels, so he used the artifact of the Tuchucha engine to travel back in time and go back to the year of the Caliban civil war in the past-
and successfully broke the Caliban.
If he's okay, Hades can go and see what's going on.
Because according to the timeline, the future that the Dark Angel has traveled back to has not yet happened.
But...... Since it was Luthor who became loyalist...... Hades was silent, what really happened on the Caliban?
After pondering for a while, Hades decided to skip the plot of the Dark Angel first.
*skip
"Continue with the Legion."
Hades motioned for Blake to continue, Blake nodded,
"The Emperor of the Third Legion is a traitor to the Empire, in the company of Chaos and the Great Marauder Abaddon."
Not unexpected.
"White Scars of the Fifth Legion, their presence within the empire is low,"
"I've fought alongside them, and I love having them take me for a ride—and so do the other warband brothers. ”
"The son of Hades has a good relationship with White Scar?"
Hades asked on the surface, but in his heart he was actually thinking, since he mentioned the son of the emperor of the renegade legion, but did not mention the iron warriors of the fourth legion, this proves that the fourth legion was removed from the empire.
Just like the 2nd and 11th Legions.
Hades could have thought of that.
As if thinking of the past of wild racing on the prairie, Blake laughed,
"Yes, the White Scar warriors are also fond of fighting with the Sons of Hades."
Hades also loves drag racing – no one can say no to screwing the throttle on a 200 on a moto.
"What about the Khan?"
"Missing."
"The Space Wolves of the Sixth Legion, they once had an unpleasant relationship with the Inquisition, and Lord Riemann Ruth has been missing to this day."
After getting acquainted with the intel Hades wanted, Blake became proficient.
"Their home planet, Fenris, has also gradually disintegrated, and they now inhabit Fenris's largest fragment, the Wolf's Tooth Castle."
Fenris also blew up???
Hades fell silent.
Space Wolf ...... Space Wolf ...... Didn't the Wolf King imprison Magnus and Fenris back then? Magnus is dead again?!
Hades felt dizzy at the thought of Magnus, he covered his eyes with his hands, and for some reason, he always felt ......
In front of him, a crackling bonfire was waving, as if it was a wordless reminder of the great tragedy and sacrifice of those years.
But staring at the fire, Hades couldn't remember what had happened.
What joys and sorrows were staged around the bonfire in the past?
Hades blinked, he subconsciously touched his right eye, there was a wet touch on his hand, and he unconsciously burst into tears?
What really happened back then?
"Netway—" Hades asked suddenly, "Blake, do you know Netway?" ”
Blake blinked in surprise The puppy subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Tiens Barry, and after confirming that Barry was still in a deep sleep, Blake cautiously spoke,
Kim Dae Sage said...... The network was broken a little, but not much. However, he said that the network is all garbage, and scolded the forbidden army for indulging in network protection and maintenance...... Kim Dae Sage said that the real future of mankind is not on the Internet. ”
Blake swallowed,
"Father, these are all rumored within the war group, I don't know if it's true or not, don't say it's what I said."
The damage to the network is not serious, that is, the foolishness of Magnus did not happen in the original book.
Hades breathed a sigh of relief, though he still felt weird, what was going on above Fenris?
He waved his hand casually,
"Blake, your father and I'm Hades, whoever says you can't say anything, I'll smoke him."
“…… It's Kim Dae Sage. ”
"It doesn't matter even more."
Hades said, "But since the Golden Sage said so, let's not spread the word yet." ”
Blake stared at the bonfire, he did have some kind of expectation about the matter of the Immortal drawing the golden sage.
Hades thought for a moment, now that he asked about the network,
"What about the Emperor? Is he still sitting on the Golden Throne, and what about the state? ”
"According to the words of the state religion, the God Emperor may be waking up soon."
This sentence made Hades spirited,
"What is the God Emperor like? Is it a skeleton? ”
This sentence startled Blake, and he glanced at Barry again, thinking about whether to give Tiens another punch to make his sleep quality a qualitative leap,
The words of the Father of Genes were too bold, but fortunately the Immortal only said this to him-
If this is heard by the Church and the Inquisition......
"No," Blake shook his head, "that's what the portrait looks like, father." ”
There are rumors in the empire that the Underworld have extremely bold and rebellious ideas.
Blake thought that what they usually heard was enough for the Inquisition to impose an extermination order on them, but he didn't expect their genetic father to be even more ......
Heterodox?
But if the current mind would judge the greatest god of religion as a heretic—then who is the heretic?
Blake thinks he's got to the point.
He did not speak out about his immature and naïve thoughts, lest he make Hades think that his mind was not sufficiently constructed.
Blake decides to follow the Immortal and use practice and experience to determine whether his views are correct, just as the Warband brothers taught him.
On the other hand, Hades was happy, it sounded like the emperor was in good shape, and he was about to wake up - doesn't that mean that the current emperor is like a person?
"Why is the Emperor asleep?"
Hades asked, and Blake answered him truthfully, "Just after you disappeared, the Forbidden Army declared that the Divine Emperor's divine power was exhausted and needed to be restored. ”
Presumably it was during the Great Rebellion that Neos and Chaos fought, Hades reasoned.
As long as he had spent enough time in the field, Hades thought, and he immediately returned to Terra to try to wake up Neos.
Blake then briefed Hades on the Seventh Legion's Imperial Fists and the Eighth Legion's Midnight Lords.
This time, Dorn was not missing, but was put into a static position, and Hades didn't think much of it.
The timeline is completely different, at least Dorne didn't break his hand this time, and there is hope for awakening.
The Midnight Lords slowly rebuilt and became close to the Assassin Court and the Inquisition.
…… It's also a professional counterpart, Hades thought.
"Go on."
"The Iron Hand of the Tenth Legion, their original body is missing, and the Son of Hades has a good relationship with the Iron Hand - because one of the warbands, Buz Bella, helped the Iron Hand defeat the Sapphire ......"
Hades turned his head and looked at Blake,
"What about the Ninth Legion? Angel of the Holy Blood. ”
As a result, he saw Blake's confused eyes,
"The Ninth Legion? Father? There is no Ninth Legion. ”
Wow-oh-oh-oh-
"No Ninth Legion?" Hades paused word by word, his gaze piercing through the darkness, "You don't know the Holy Blood Angels, and their original body, St. Giles?" ”
Angel of the Holy Blood, removed?
Under Hades' gaze, Blake visibly panicked and began to recall.
But he finally shook his head firmly,
"Father, I haven't heard anything about this legion—but I do know that there was a rumor of the Ascension of St. Giles in the Sun Field."
"What kind of holiday is that?"
Hades hurriedly asked,
"It is rumored that it was a festival established by the Pope in an attempt to awaken the Emperor of God."
Blake said, "I really haven't heard of the Blood Angels or St. Giles - perhaps some of the elders of the Mother's Death Guard will know what you want." ”
Hades, sweating.
The Holy Blood Angel was removed?
Archangel betrayed?
Hades swallowed, "Do you know what happened during the Great Rebellion, Blake? ”
Blake nodded, "Hades, all I know is that Lord Motarian united with Lord Killiman and Lord Angron to form the Second Empire, but there have been other rumors circulating in the warband. ”
"It is said that in the dark side of the empire, three legions established the Second Divine Kingdom."
Hades urgently recalled the legion in the Extreme Star Field...... There is indeed St. Giles.
Plus St. Giles Ascension Day...... That doesn't sound like a good holiday.
Could it be that the festival set up by the Pope to awaken the Emperor is St. Giles? Is St. Giles the Pope?
But according to the character of St. Giles - would he really do that?
Moreover, de-listing, de-listing...... In addition to the Second Legion and the Eleventh Legion, the Legion that was removed from the list also included the Iron Warriors and the Thousand Sons, but how could the Holy Blood Angels also be ......?
Could it be related to chaos?
The hand that lit the cigarette trembled slightly.
Hades realized that the current galaxy was probably very different from the one he remembered.
Hades was silent for a moment, trying to calm himself down as much as he could, and then motioned for Blake to continue.
"The Twelfth Legion's World Eater, Lord Anglon, the original body, is missing."
"The Thirteenth Legion Ultramarine, the original Lord Robert Killiman, has died of illness."
"Died ?!!!!!"
Hades jerked to his feet, his shouts tearing through the night, startling even the campfire.
Blake subconsciously leaned back, but Hades was in front of him almost instantly, grabbing Blake's shoulder armor with both hands, and staring at him with his eyes,
"Wait—Killiman died? Died??! ”
Hades said excitedly, subconsciously starting to shake Blake, "Killiman was infected by the plague of Nurgle?" Or do you want to fight against which mutant primordial?? Still, still-"
Hades gritted his teeth,
"Did he, did he fight with Motarian?"
"No-"
Blake hastened to say, "Externally, the Ultramarines claim that their father died from two thousand years of hard work and exhaustion, and that three years before Master Killiman's death, the Primordial fought a fierce battle, leaving him with a stubborn illness. ”
"Fight with whom?!"
Blake shook his head, "I don't know, but I know it's St. Giles Ascension Day." ”
Beaten by St. Giles???
Killeman got into a fight with St. Giles???
Hades screamed inside, but he grabbed the other keywords,
"Wait, to the outside?!"
"What do Ultramarines call inside?!"
Blake gritted his teeth and said quickly, Hades could hear anger in his words,
"Lord Hades, the Vincent family of the Inquisition, together with the Council of High Lords, collectively impeached Lord Killiman, and at the impeachment meeting, they came up with the abomination intelligence that seems to mimic Lord Killiman and Lord Judton."
Hades no longer shook Blake, who looked at his father cautiously, and although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that Hades had completely lost his mind.
He was like a sculpture, his face like ashes.
Only there was something terrifying in his eyes.
"Impeachment."
Hades said word for word,
"They slandered and impeached Killeman when he was seriously injured and had worked continuously for two thousand years?"
"They, High Lord, are impeaching Killiman?"
Black nodded, "After that, Master Killiman bloodbathed the upper echelons of Terra, and then returned to Macurag, where he died. ”
The son of Hades subconsciously shrank back, and the darkness suddenly shrouded him, surrounding the Hades, like an endless tumbling sea of darkness, the dark water rushed, almost drowning everything visible.
The darkness rolled, and Blake saw the darkness surging around Hades, and the darkness once again completely enveloped Hades.
"Motarian—no, did the awake Primordial avenge Killiman?"
Blake held his breath, he felt dangerous, and now Hades was teetering on the verge of losing control...... Then the rumors that Hades and the Lord of Macurag have a good relationship are true.
"The Lord of Death was sleeping in subspace at the time—and Lord Killiman was the last of the primordials to leave the Empire."
In other words, Killiman was unwittingly stabbed in the back by the Council of High Lords when he was extremely tired.
Moreover, after he "died" (Hades didn't want to think about whether Robert really died of illness, or did he take the opportunity to get out), didn't even come forward to seek justice for him?
Killiman, dying?
High Lords Council impeaching Robert Killiman?
Hades felt the butcher's nail in him ring.
Anger, boundless rage and incomprehension, unbelievable, no, how could Robert have fallen under the siege of mortals, no...... Damn it...... No!
How could that Robert Killiman, who was proficient in government affairs, fall under the siege of mortals!
He didn't believe it! He didn't believe it!
Fuck - High Lord -
Hades's ears were ringing, and he almost trembled, in disbelief, in extreme panic, in extreme anger—he had never been so embarrassed in the face of chaos.
Hades slowly let go of the hand that was on Blake's shoulder, and Blake heard a faint "Sorry, sorry for the company".
Then, the Immortal stiffened his body and disappeared into the boundless darkness, step by step.
It wasn't until the figure of Hades had completely disappeared that Black began to breathe heavily, the overwhelming oppression from the Father of Genes making him feel like he was dead, even though the anger was not directed at him.
He gasped, almost cheering for his survival, the bonfire extinguished at some point, leaving only the ashes and drifting green smoke.
As if sensing something, Blake turned his head and looked in the distance—
In his ice-blue pupils, the pale green thunder that almost tore through the entire world was reflected.
The tyrannical lightning soared, with the determination and ruthlessness to burn everything, but for some reason, for his father, Blake's heart shook a trace of sadness.
In the years he was gone, his best friend died suddenly.
"Fuck it—ahh!!!h
The roar of the ancient beast roared from afar, and it lasted for a long time.
