Planet Midden, the heavenly world.

This is a rare blessed land in the human empire.

There is no pollution from heavy industry, no unrest and riots.

There are just green waters and green mountains, blue seas and blue skies, as well as laid-back farmsteads and comfortable urban clusters. People work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

The war in the galaxy seems to be happening in another dimension here.

Today, however, a five-member Astarte team has secretly arrived.

10,000 years ago, in order to conquer the galaxy, the emperor of mankind chose to cooperate with the evil gods of chaos, creating twenty-one demigod heirs (including a pair of twins) known as the protogens, and using the genetic seeds extracted from these protogens, he created twenty legions of interstellar marines.

They are Astarte, the superhuman warriors who have undergone nineteen intensive surgeries, and the emperor's angels of death.

At this time, the Astarte team that descended on Middenheim was the original body of the First Legion, the son of Ryan Eltheusson, and belonged to the Dark Angels Startup Warband.

They are conducting an arrest operation targeting a mortal who writes forbidden books, located in a common rental house on the outskirts of the planetary capital city of Middenheim.

Despite their impressive stature, these Space Marines managed to sneak into the city unnoticed.

Soon, the five dark angels arrived at their destination.

After a brief glance at the scene, Huck, as the captain, immediately made a deployment.

He gestured to the two men to the toilet and balcony windows to cut off the target's chance to escape, while he led the remaining two dark angels into the room from the front.

Five Space Marines entertain a mortal like this, and this specification is absolutely luxurious.

Sadly, however, when the Dark Angels slammed into the doors and windows and rushed into the room, they found it empty.

There was no place to hide, no technology for stealth, just a room full of history books for reference, and apocryphal writings on the table that were nearly finished.

"The information is wrong, and we are in vain."

Huck sighed and had to admit the failure of the operation.

It seems that the high blood pressure of the war leader will have to be maintained for a while.

"Captain, I don't understand, according to the available information, that guy is just a mortal who writes apocrypha, what is there worth using?" Team member Moore wondered.

As one of a million superhuman beings, Space Marines are usually sent to the places where the battle between the stars is most intense, or to carry out important missions that are closely related to the fate of humanity, rather than participating in the capture of an author of a forbidden book, as is the case now.

A trivial matter like this, even if it is handed over to the mortal auxiliaries, they will not be accepted because of their low rank, and the local sheriff should be responsible.

At this, Captain Huck smiled bitterly.

"Because what that kid wrote can make the elders of our clan stomp their feet with hatred, and they are as irritable as a big green-skinned orc who has stolen Scroog. It's the first time I've seen the head of the group use so many shielding words to describe a person since I became a dark angel. ”

You must know that the Dark Angels are a start-up warband, and the number of aliens and traitors who died at the hands of their wargroup leader Azrael must be at least seven or eight hundred thousand, even if they do not reach a trillion.

What kind of existence could make that warband leader behave so calmly?

Moore shifted his gaze to the table, where an outline of a work was still in the creative stages.

On closer inspection, the title of the book seems to be "The Great Scarbrand Rebellion".

Just by looking at the title of the book, you know that this is a blasphemous apocrypha, because Scarbrand is the chief demon of the past of Sadomasochism, and Sadomasochism is one of the four evil gods of chaos, the twisted god of war, who is passionate about bloodshed and killing, and likes believers to sacrifice their skulls to him.

As the chief demon, Scarbrand has cut off the most skulls for the horror of abuse, ranking first on the skull list for many years, those two axes don't know how many worlds have been slaughtered, and the blood of innocents on his hands is countless.

A book with such a demon as the main character is definitely not a good book.

Speaking of rebellion, the bloodthirsty demon Scarbrand did betray its master.

The demon chief blindly believed that his strength had surpassed that of the gods, so he launched a sneak attack on the blood god of terror, but was robbed of his mind under the punishment of terror, and ended up in eternal exile.

But Moore didn't think it would be that simple.

Because in the hearts of all the people of the Empire, the Great Rebellion is a sensitive word.

Once upon a time, the beloved heir of the Lord of Humanity, the Genogen of the Sixteenth Legion and the Imperial Warlord, Horus Lupecal, launched a massive rebellion that swept across the galaxy.

Not only did that rebellion shatter the dreams of all mankind, but even the Emperor was devastated, forced to sit on the Golden Throne, and forever suppressed the broken web, and never again walked on earth, nor could he give any advice to mortals.

The Great Horus Rebellion is an eternal pain in the hearts of the people of the Empire.

Young Moore wondered what the apocryphal scripture called "The Great Scarbrand Rebellion" was about.

Captain Huck saw Moore's thoughts and admonished, "I'd suggest you'd better leave that book untouched." ”

Moore hurriedly said: "I understand, captain, knowledge means danger, the evil god Tzeentch is full of traps in it, I can control my curiosity." ”

Tzeentch is one of the four Chaos Evil Gods, also known as the Lord of Change, a twisted god of wisdom.

This evil god likes to control fate, prepare plans, and often take advantage of mortals' thirst for knowledge to lead people into depravity step by step.

Therefore, in this universe, any exploration of knowledge must be guarded against the evil god Tzeentch digging a hole in it.

However, Huck shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, I'm worried that if you read these apocrypha, you will also be like our War Commander Your Excellency, your body's blood pressure will remain high, and when you meet the target later, you can't help but kill him directly." Our mission is to escort the target to the regimental commander alive, and that must not be forgotten. ”

Huck had read the Apocryphas beforehand when he accepted the mission from the Commander, and knew how difficult it was to hold back and not kill the kid, and fortunately he was the most determined person among the Dark Angels, so he was sent to carry out this mission.

"There's really no danger?"

Huck's explanation made the dark angels around him even more curious.

"Of course, if you are sure, you can also look through it, it will be a test of your concentration."

Young people can't blindly accept protection, they have to go through some polishing and training to become successful.

Now that Huck as the captain has spoken, the remaining four team members, you look at me, I look at you, finally opened the apocryphal on the table called "Scarbrand's Great Rebellion", gathered in a circle, and read it carefully.

The book begins with a monologue in which it seems that the bloodthirsty demon Scarbrand, who has suffered a great grievance, is making a harsh complaint against the Blood God of Horror:

"It was never what I wanted."

"I never thought my legion would attack."

"Together, we banished the depraved age of pleasure."

"But you betrayed me, betrayed all of us!"

"You stole the power of the real universe and lied to your sons."

"The demon only has one chance to revivenation, and if you don't catch it, then let me finish it."

"Let the war begin!"

"From the sky of the brass fortress to the edge of subspace."

"Let the sea of souls boil, and let the stars of the catastrophe fall."

"Even if I shed my last drop of blood, I will see subspace liberated again."

"If I can't save it from your failure, Father ......"

"Then let the subspace burn!"

......

After reading the preface of the book, the four of them all showed strange expressions on their faces.

Why is this plot so familiar?

Isn't this Nima a copy of the war commander denouncing the emperor during the Horus Rebellion?

The content is not exactly the same, at least it is the same, but the characters have been changed.

Since the author of the book compares Scarbrand, who started the rebellion, to Horus, is not the betrayal and terror metaphorical......

"Blasphemy, this is blasphemy, what are the people of the Inquisition for!"

The dark angels screamed and cursed.
