The relationship between Perturabo and Fulgrim has never been very good. The two primarchs cannot be said to be brothers and sisters, at least they can be regarded as sworn enemies. They are so stupid that they will fight each other when they meet. kind of.

During the Great Heresy initiated by Horus, Fulgrim claimed that the Eldar possessed an ancient artifact called the ‘Angel of Extinction’ that could be used against the Emperor, and asked Perturabo to enter the Eye of Terror with him. Invaded the world of an Eldar old woman named ‘Idris’ and snatched the artifact.

However, there was no ‘Destroying Angel’ that could stand against the Emperor. Fulgrim deceived Perturabo when the Emperor’s Children and the Iron Warriors battled the wraiths of the Eldar awakened from the tombs of Crone World. , Fulgrim assassinated Perturabo in a huge spherical temple.

Fulgrim extracted Perturabo’s warp essence as the primarch from his body. By plundering and devouring his brother’s power, Fulgrim successfully performed the ritual and ascended to become the Daemon Prince of Slaanesh.

Although Perturabo later successfully seized the opportunity to counter Fulgrim’s conspiracy, the two primarchs also forged an sworn feud. The relationship between their genetic descendants, the Iron Warriors and the Emperor’s Children It also became extremely bad.

In addition, after the end of the Horus Heresy, Roboute Guilliman and Rogal Dorn jointly launched a bloody purge, and the rebel legions of that year fled into the Eye of Terror like stray dogs. Infighting and blaming each other among the losers were common. It would be more accurate to say that it was a rare anomaly for Chaos Astartes from different Primarchs to gather together to act together like Abaddon did.

Soon after, Perturabo saw a familiar face on the bridge of the Emperor’s Pride docked in the Rust Orbital Starport. It was a hunched humanoid monster covered with blue-purple bird feathers, and at the base of each feather grew a blood-red eyeball that was rolling.

The Great Demon of Tzeentch, Yask the Drowned.

Ever since Tzeentch used the rampaging C’tan fragment Ishtu to tear apart the Galil star cluster and bring Oregon, which was devoured by the Infinity Root, closer to the subspace, the Drowned Yask, who has been accompanying the Plague Apostles and the Iron Warriors, has been missing. It had appeared before. The whereabouts of the Chaos Demon were always uncertain, and Perturabo didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, he did not expect that when it appeared in front of him again, it would be with Fulgrim and the Emperor’s Children.

“I have brought you a new ally, the Lord of Iron. His Highness Fulgrim has brought the order from the Prince of Pleasure. The Emperor’s Children will fully support our next move!” The voice of the Drowned Ask sounded in Perturabo’s mind, echoing with a buzzing noise.

Perturabo’s expression was stagnant, and when he raised his eyes, Fulgrim crossed his arms and cast a seductive look at him.

“Shut your mouth, Birdman. I have personally formulated a complete action plan for the invasion of Falla. The addition of more allies will not increase our chances of winning, but will disrupt my arrangement.” Petula said in surprise. Said loudly.

Before the Drowned Askor could speak, Fulgrim heard him say in a soft and charming voice, “As expected of the Iron Lord, this silent mouth is harder than gold. The departure of the Star Bullet has interrupted your plans. You have not yet prepared the artifacts of the Dark Age of Technology or the facilities to break through the Fayat orbital defenses. Even so, our Iron Lord still chooses to be stubborn and refuse help from others.”

Perturabo was not as strong as he looked, he was just holding on.

“Oh, I have my own way of war. The Iron Warriors are not so weak that they need to beg for help from you degenerate people who have fallen into the abyss of desire.” Perturabo’s expression was still solemn, not wavering at all, but Underneath his calm appearance, the Iron Lord’s fist was already extremely hard.

If it weren’t for Tzeentch’s sake, he would have ordered all the orbital defenses of the Rustbane Forge World to pour fire on Fulgrim’s flagship long before the Emperor’s Pride docked.

——Ask the Drowned is the spokesperson of the Lord of Change, and the contract between Perturabo and Tzeentch is still being fulfilled.

The persuasion was fruitless, and Fulgrim didn’t insist on anything anymore. The pride of the Imperial Phoenix made it unable to put down its arrogant attitude and ask for brother’s companionship.

Fulgrim turned around and stepped on the triumphal path, and the swaying snake tail crawled towards the cabin of the Emperor’s Pride. Its figure was enchanting and its voice was as soft as the breeze blowing through the sea of ​​souls in ancient times: “Even if you refuse to be with us, With the proposal of joint action, the Emperor’s Children will still go to the Far East Star Territory and attack the hinterland of the Human Federation. “

The Ascended Primarch of Slaanesh came here not only to help Perturabo carry out Tzeentch’s plan. Besides, in the Far Eastern Star Region, there was something that the Prince of Pleasure coveted. Slaanesh was determined to obtain that treasure. In comparison, Perturabo’s action plan seemed insignificant.

The Ascended Primarch of the Emperor’s Children received the will from Slaanesh himself. He was extremely eager to obtain the precious treasure hidden in the core of the Far East Star Region, and he would spare no expense to achieve this.

Fulgrim climbed into the cabin of the Emperor’s Pride, a treasure that he was determined to obtain.

The Starbuster himself didn’t even know there was such a ‘treasure’ that could attract Slaanesh.

Chapter 431 The Great God in the Heretic Field

After driving away Fulgrim and the Emperor’s Children, Perturabo returned to the Rust Scourge. Although he was extremely disgusted with Fulgrim’s hypocrisy and depravity, he had to admit that he did need help.

Russell’s timing of leaving the Far East Star Region was too clever. The Star-Bomber that returned at some point became an invisible sword hanging over Perturabo’s head, forcing him to speed up his plans.

Since the rise of the Star Destroyer, the Chaos camp has never achieved any strategic victory or impressive results in the war with the Human Federation. From the raid on the Falla Star Gate by the Perfect Man and the Son of All-Changes hundreds of years ago, From the swarm of insects grinding meat under the gaze of the Mysterious Eye, to the unbreakable defense line of the Chaos Warmaster… Chaos keeps losing, almost to the point of losing.

Until the immortal gods also passed away under the power of the star bomber, and Nurgle’s death wail swept through the sea of ​​souls. Perturabo saw the father’s followers sitting around the campfire and weeping. This scene was something he would never forget.

“At that moment, I was thinking, if the 4th Legion faces the lackeys of the Star Destroyer, I must win everything.” Perturabo whispered to himself: “Now that the opportunity is in front of me, I must consider whether this will happen.” This is my only chance in this life.”

Even if he knew that there was a pit ahead, the Iron Lord would jump down without hesitation despite his strong nature.

Based on the existing resources at hand and the intelligence of the Human Federation collected through various channels, Perturabo began to try to formulate a combat plan.

“The first is the Order of Truth. The Order of Truth is the only official organization of the Human Federation. This organization was born longer than the Human Federation itself. Long before the Terra expedition began, monks who claimed to pursue the truth were already in the Far East. The Starfield is active.”

To invade the Human Federation, the Advocate of Truth is an unavoidable obstacle. In other words, the so-called Federation itself is the peripheral structure of the Advocate of Truth. This thing belongs to a state-owned enterprise.

“The Truth Order is mainly divided into four departments, corresponding to the four main research directions: mechanics, biology, psychic energy, and sociology.”

“But with the changes of the times, some emerging disciplines have begun to emerge within the Order, such as the Circle of Time, which focuses on time technology, and the astrophysics school, which is obsessed with various astronomical phenomena such as black hole annihilation and neutron star aggregation. But overall, the three old-fashioned departments of machinery, psionics, and biology are still the biggest threats to this invasion.”

The Mechanical Department supplies almost all industrial products and high-tech machinery to the entire Human Federation. Almost every expedition warship is built by mechanical monks in giant shipyards. The Psionic Department is more abstract. In principle, they are a group of people specializing in psychic technology, but projects such as the Purifying Field that can sort out ether turbulence and purify chaos, and the artificial black stone project are all under the control of the Psionic Department. They also supervise all psychics within the jurisdiction of the Federation, and the power structure is very complicated.

As for the Department of Biology… As far as Perturabo knows, the super strong man who once singled out the fragments of the Star God in the Pacific Star Territory is the latest research result of the Department of Biology.

Lorgar Aurelion and the Word Bearers are traveling around the starry sky with the human physicist named Gustave, boasting about their deeds all over the galaxy and preaching the doctrine that the Star Bullet is the true God.

Ugh, disgusting. Perturabo was very disdainful of Luojia’s kneeling behavior.

“The Mechanical Division of the Truth Order has recently conquered the core technologies of the Necrons, such as ‘Living Metal’ and ‘Gauss Disintegration’. Abaddon has obtained information from the memory of a technical priest on the Forge World of Acheron VIII. They have begun to produce living metal warships equipped with Gauss cannons, phase disintegration cannons, and focused arcs.”

If it continues to be delayed, once the Human Federation’s living metal reaches mass production, Falla will only become more difficult to defeat – Perturabo does not know that Russell has ordered the production of the ‘Deterrence’ class frigate, and his intelligence lags behind sex.

“But I hold the artifact ‘Nightingale’s Anchor’. Once this super electromagnet is activated, it will create a magnetic field so powerful that it will overturn a black hole. The war machine built by the Mechanical Department of the Order of Truth will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming electromagnetic force. Not worth mentioning.”

Perturabo judged that the main threat on this trip was the Psionic Division…

“Whether it’s the Purification Field Generator that can sort out the turbulent ether or the galaxy-level super-giant Black Stone Array, they are all fatal threats to us.” Perturabo saw it clearly: “Although I have the support of Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, and Vashtor, the Lord of the Soul Forge, but… the scientific and technological strength of the Truth Order is too strong. Once the Psychic Department deploys the Purification Field or activates the Black Stone Array to launch the Soul Exorcist Death Zone, the originally invincible demon army will disappear into thin air.”

Until then, the Iron Warriors will be fighting alone.

“Even if we put aside these galaxy-level weapons, the psychic department of the Order of Truth also masters the spirit bone technology of the Eldar. Most of their psychics have studied a variety of ancient spells inherited from the Eldar Empire. Coupled with the war mecha constructed of spirit bones, the combat power of this department alone is definitely not weaker than that of an ordinary Eldar Ark.”

Thinking of this, Perturabo gritted his teeth slightly: “It’s really a hard nut to crack…”

Finally, there is the biology department.

“According to reports from Tzeentch’s spies in Ultramar, the biological department of the Order of Truth has a close connection with an alien race called ‘Tyranids’.”

Perturabo pondered and said to himself, “There is a myth circulating among the people of the Human Federation: a huge Tyranid Hive Fleet once invaded Faya, but the almighty Lord Starbomb exploded a star in the blink of an eye, annihilating the entire Hive Fleet, leaving only a Life-Shaping Queen alive. The Starbomb kept the Queen captive and used her as a breeding machine.”

Perturabo could not verify the authenticity of this myth, but he was certain that the Star-Bombing did enslave an alien race called the Tyranids. The Tyranid Queen relied on her master-level genetic engineering skills to become the de facto head of the Biological Department of the Order of Truth. That new human might also be the work of this dirty alien.

Other decks such as Time Technology, Miniature Galaxy, and the ‘Mortal Dawn’ Dominator Ship are not something that Perturabo has the means to understand.

After reviewing the armed forces of the Truth Order, Perturabo felt a sense of frustration. The Human Federation was too powerful and had too many means. Even though he took a huge risk to obtain the artifact “Nightingale Anchor” from the Dark Age of Technology, he only obtained the qualification to confront one of the branches of the Truth Order head-on.

But despite being frustrated, Perturabo was also a little annoyed.

“The Mechanical Department is casting living metal battleships, the Psychic Department is using the spirit bone technology of the Eldar on a large scale to construct war mechas, and even the Biological Department is colluding with the dirty Tyranid aliens…”

The heretical behavior of the Order of Truth made Perturabo grit his teeth:

“What do the Star Bombers think? As a human immortal, he actually allows evil alien technology to spread freely in the country he rules? Not only scientific researchers, but also civilians are often exposed to it in their daily lives. Items made with heretical technology…have a huge legacy!”

The Human Federation under the rule of Star-Buster has practiced almost all the heresies and blasphemy prescribed by the Emperor, and can be called a master in the field of heresy.

So Perturabo is now very curious about how the Human Empire managed to resist launching a holy war against the Human Federation?

Chapter 432 Fanatics

In the 40th year of the 65th millennium, the galaxy is as chaotic as every year in the past.

Within the Necrons, the conflict over the line between the Ascended Faction and the Conservative Faction is becoming increasingly intense. Even though the rise of the Human Federation has brought unprecedented threats, and even though figures like [Burning Anrakyr] and [Pharaoh Hakemefit] of the Oruska Dynasty have tried their best to ease the conflict, hoping to put aside the internal line conflict and jointly resist foreign enemies, they are unable to completely unite the scattered Necron dynasties.

The Ark Eldar are still wandering around in the broken Webway like stray dogs. The disappearance of the port city of Comoros has caused the Eldar to lose control of most of the Webway. The ‘Extinction’-class killing drones of the Confraternity of Truth are patrolling and hunting in the Webway without sleep, looking for any trace of the Eldar. The bounty hunter groups and interstellar nomadic tribes of the Human Empire are wandering around the physical universe, intending to burn all the bones and blood of the Eldar in exchange for the high bounties offered by the nobles.

The Dark Eldar’s capital, the Dark City of Commorra, has been missing since it was pulled into the Warp by the End of the Cycle, but large-scale “Resurgence Fleets” have begun to appear frequently in various parts of the galaxy, carrying out their own activities under the banner of reviving the Eldar Empire… For example, the bloody massacre against humans in the orbit of Hagia. It is enough to show that the Dark Eldar have obtained a stable and hidden rear base in the Warp, and they are developing rapidly and accumulating strength at an astonishing speed.

While Tzeentch, who sat on the ‘Eternal Throne’, was being hunted all over the Warp by the Worldbreakers, he still had the leisure to plan the resurrection of Nurgle. The Chaos Gods who used to be at loggerheads with each other temporarily stood in unison. Khorne and Slaanesh both supported the Lord of Change’s grand plan. Countless demon armies and Chaos believers were still fighting to the death with the subsequent reinforcements of the Worldbreakers on the unbreakable defense line.

As long as the coordinates of the boundary breaker’s interdimensional portal are not found and destroyed, the high-dimensional invasion will not end.

Perturabo and the Iron Warriors were preparing for an attack on the human Federation homeland, while Fulgrim’s Pride of the Emperor had already headed for the Far East. At such a chaotic moment, no one had expected that the first force to break into the Far Eastern star region would not be any of the above parties.

On this day, the industrial machines of the Human Federation were running at high capacity as usual, and the industrial worlds such as Fafner, Aishalin and Nifol were peaceful and busy.

But in the heart of the Far Eastern Starfield, in the capital of the Human Federation, in the center of the Falla star that was completely enveloped by the [Organic Dyson Sphere], a long gap opened without warning as if it came from another world.

Tentacles of another world extend from it, and a huge and illusory shadow swims in the center of the galaxy, like a transparent jellyfish floating from the depths of the ocean.

The troops stationed on the Seeker star base immediately recognized the characteristics of this huge monster. It was the dimensional anchor of the Boundary Breaker… No, it is different from the Boundary Breaker, although the ‘nature’ is similar, the way of tearing apart dimensions It’s similar, but its ‘belonging’ is different.

This is not the Boundary Breakers, but another group of fanatical high-dimensional invaders that are very similar to the Boundary Breakers.

Its name is – ‘Zealot’.

The dimensional anchor of the fanatics instantly nailed down the space-time dimension of the entire Faya galaxy. The information communication, logistics transportation, and even the anti-entropy management systems of the entire Far East star field were temporarily stuck. It was at this time that Fulgrim led the Emperor’s Children to the outside of the portal of the Far East star field.

“We are about to enter the industrial star zone ‘Astoria’ of the Human Federation. As long as we successfully invade the capital star system of this star zone and capture the ‘Favrna’ star gate, we can jump straight to the [Iris Star Zone].” A lieutenant of the Emperor’s Children reported respectfully behind Fulgrim.

Fulgrim nodded with satisfaction. The ether turbulence gradually separated from both sides of the Emperor’s Pride. As the waves of the Sea of ​​Souls dissipated, the huge hive covered by industrial machinery and ecological domes appeared in front of the Primarch.

Yes, unlike Perturabo who attempted to invade Faya directly to obtain the Bao plant, Fulgrim’s target was not the capital of the Human Federation, but an undeveloped star region in the southern part of the Far East star field, part of the dim star field known as the ‘Scarlet Purgatory’, the Iris sector.

Koroniai’s ‘Fordola’ biological ark is parked there all year round.

The Iris sector is inhabited by astronomical numbers of Zerg creatures all year round, so Fulgrim did not choose to attack by force. He needed to first capture the Fafnir Gate in the Astoria sector as a springboard, and then jump directly into the heart of the Scarlet Purgatory to behead the Zerg Queen entrenched in the biological ark.

In this way, the treasure that makes the Lord of Joy salivate will be within easy reach…

The Emperor’s Children acted swiftly, taking advantage of the brief system chaos caused by the Zealots tearing the dimension and nailing Faya to the head, the Emperor’s Pride led less than 40 fast strike ships into the Valrna system. The Queen of Glory-class battleship first used all its firepower to destroy the command hub at the South Pole of Valrna’s main star, and then directly crashed into the star base in the center of the Valrna system without looking back.

——As a star domain node planet with a long history and important strategic position, Favna’s star base is equipped with the ‘Zero Storm Projector’.

The command system of the Human Federation is very complete. Even if the zealots descend directly on the capital, the star field under its jurisdiction that has lost its backbone will only be chaotic for a moment. Once Favna’s command system reacts and activates the storm projector, then this invasion will As soon as it started, it was already about to fail.

The perfectionist Fulgrim would never accept failure, so it showed no pity for its flagship. The Emperor’s Pride’s exquisite and beautiful hull like a work of art was thrown directly by the plasma thrusters with full overload. The star base located in the center of the galaxy does not need to be actually hit, as long as it is brought close to a certain distance…

Without any hesitation or regret, the Emperor’s Pride’s subspace engine detonated itself on Fulgrim’s order, rolling up circles of huge subspace that could swallow a planet in the center of the Fafnir system. Space vortex.

The engine explosion of a Glorious Queen-class battleship would cause a reality-tearing force that was no less powerful than any forbidden vortex torpedo.

The Valrhona star base directly lost nearly 1/3 of its volume in this explosion. For a huge space facility at the level of the Sky Castle, this is not a fatal injury that will threaten the normal operation of the system, but it is fatal. Among the 1/3 lost was the star base building – the Zelo Storm Projector.

It also includes the huge amount of ‘pure dust’ level psychic dust stored in the Zero Storm Projector.

“The cage has been released!” Fulgrim roared sharply. From the warp vortex where the Pride of the Emperor exploded, the demon army of Slaanesh poured out. These twisted and corrupt monsters were bathed in the scattered psychic dust. They were already extremely high and suddenly became even more high.

At the same time, the administrative system of Valrhona, which fell into temporary chaos due to the disconnection with Falla, quickly delegated the highest wartime command to the Sector Governor, and thousands of war starships sailed out of the dock.

Chapter 433 A Beautiful New Tomorrow

The tide of chaos rises and falls, and the etheric turbulence that originally only flowed in the Sea of ​​Souls is now surging in the physical universe. In the long history of the Human Empire’s fight against chaos, the emergence of this level of reality tearing phenomenon itself means the fall of the galaxy, but at this moment in Fafner, this is not the case.

The bubble of reality created by the Geller force field is as vulnerable as a soap bubble in the face of the true power of the evil god. For a long time, the empire’s warships can only drift with the tide when facing the turbulent waves of the sea of ​​souls. Even the Second Company of the Ultramarines A character like that would be lost in subspace for five years, but the Human Fleet equipped with a pure spirit field and a black stone obelisk would not fall into that embarrassing dilemma.

In the engine room of the battleship, the trained psykers belonging to the Psychic Department of the Order of Truth put the sealed and preserved dust into the combustion chamber according to the procedure. The spirit and flesh of the Eldar burned and burst out under the strict chain reaction formula. Bright flames, like small candles lit in the darkness, shrouded each ship in a warm halo, dispelling the etheric turbulence that symbolized destruction.

Under the illumination of psychic light, groups of warships rushed towards the warp vortex caused by the explosion of the Emperor’s Pride, like migrating fish swimming upstream towards their homeland. The federal soldiers in every warship were full of fighting spirit, and could not wait to fight a decisive battle with the demons who dared to invade the Far East star field.

High morale among military personnel is a good thing in theory, but the problem is that the morale of the federal navy seems to be a little… too high.
