Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer
Chapter 339: Suffering 1 Abaddon, the infamy of Calgar
Chapter 339: Abaddon suffers, Calgar takes the blame
Celerus, hive spire.
Calgar was working on government affairs at his desk in the large study, thinking about how to improve the defense of the Alert Planet before the arrival of the Chaos Demon Army, when he suddenly received an astrologer communication from Alvin.
“Isn’t this kid about to leave?”
Karga frowned and asked the astropath to transfer the communication over, thinking to himself, could it be that something has happened to this kid again?
“Your Excellency, Respected Chapter Master Calgar.”
In the Star Voice Communication projection, Alvin seemed to be in a dark environment, with a ‘kind’ smile on his face: “I am very sorry to bother you so late at night. In fact, there is something that concerns the safety of the alert planet. I hope to seek your consent.”
When he heard that the safety of the Alert Planet was at stake, Calgar’s nonchalant expression immediately turned serious: “What’s the matter? Tell me.”
“It’s like this, Lord Calgar.” Alvin paused for half a second, organized his words in his mind, and continued, “I have a plan that can severely damage Abaddon’s Chaos Fleet, but I must cooperate with you.”
Severely damage the Chaos Fleet… Calgar raised his eyebrows, with a strong interest in his eyes: “Tell me, what is your plan?”
“Ahem…” However, Alvin suddenly coughed a few times as if he was a little guilty, his eyes wandered around, and his voice became much softer: “Promise me first, whether you agree or not, don’t be angry, and don’t tell anyone, this is my idea, okay?”
After all, if he let the Ultramarines Chapter Commander personally act as ‘bait’, if this matter were to be exposed, I’m afraid that most of the fans in the galaxy would come to settle accounts with him in the future!
Alvin felt a little scared at the thought of being targeted by so many “toilet seats”.
“You kid…are you trying to plot against me?”
What kind of person is Calgar? He can hold his own in front of the high lords of the empire. He is an ultimate political fox. How could he not see that the condition proposed by Alvin is clearly looking for a way out?
“You are so hurtful to hear me say that, Lord Calgar.” Alvin pretended to cry, his voice choking a little, and he covered his face with his sleeves: “I have served the empire, I have shed blood for the empire, I am a man of steel!”
“…”
Although Karga knew that the boy was pretending, he still felt a little disgusted and said helplessly: “Okay, stop pretending in front of me, tell me quickly… I promise you, I won’t tell anyone.”
Hearing this, Alvin immediately returned to normal, without any sign of grievance, and said righteously: “You are worthy of being one of the three pillars of the Empire, the great Ultramarines Chapter Master, the perfect Ultramarines, Lord Marius Calgar, I really admire you very much!”
“Have you finished your nonsense? Hurry up and say it!” Karga couldn’t help it anymore and shouted angrily, pinching his swollen eyebrows, his temples throbbing wildly.
He also didn’t know whether it would be a blessing or a loss for the empire if the legendary medal fell into the hands of such a shameless boy.
“Ahem, actually it’s like this, Lord Calgar.” Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, Alvin coughed twice and said tactfully: “Our Valshus family has a powerful…cannon. As long as we can determine the coordinates of Abaddon’s Chaos Fleet, we can launch an orbital strike. Even if we can’t kill Abaddon, we can severely damage his Chaos Fleet, creating a relatively advantageous situation for you, the Empire, and Vigilant Star.”
“…What about the “but” after that?” Calgar sneered. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be another half sentence after this sentence. “Lord Calgar is really amazing. He saw the shortcomings of this…cannon at a glance.” Alvin gave a thumbs up with an admiring look: “The only problem at present is how to make Abaddon’s Chaos Fleet appear at the coordinates we want.”
“Well, that’s indeed a problem.” Just as Calgar finished speaking, he saw Alvin’s sly expression in the projection. He immediately came to his senses and his eyelids twitched wildly: “You don’t want me to be bait to lure Abaddon’s fleet, do you?”
“Hehe, it’s not about temptation or not. I just hope that you can drive the flagship and hang around in the space orbit of the Vigilance Star for a few days. Um… that’s it.” Alvin said with a shameless face and guilt.
“Can you say that again?”
Calgar was shocked and even thought for a moment that he might have heard it wrong. This kid actually asked him to drive his exclusive flagship and fly around in space for a few laps.
He began to doubt whether this kid had been corrupted by Chaos, and was thinking about how to kill him. Otherwise… looking at this plan from left to right, it seemed more like a plan to kill him!
Not to mention how powerful that ‘cannon’ is, and whether it can severely damage the Chaos fleet with one strike, just letting him, the commander, personally drive the flagship to wander around in space, is he really not afraid of being boarded by Chaos?
Even though he, Calga, boasted that his military power was not inferior to that of Chaos, the risk of doing so was obviously too great and did not conform to the tactics of the Extreme Warriors.
He is the commander-in-chief of an army. Once something happens on the Alert Planet, the consequences will undoubtedly have an indelible and huge impact on the entire empire!
It may even affect the Primarch’s next Indomitable Crusade plan!
Just as Calgar was shocked and doubtful, Alvin let out a deep breath, and changed from his playful expression to a serious one: “I know that this plan is dangerous, but… Master Calgar, this is the only way to resolve the danger of the Alert Planet as soon as possible, severely damage the Chaos Fleet, and even kill Abaddon!”
Karga remained silent, his brows furrowed like the shape of a “川” character, and his index finger tapped quickly and frequently on the table, as if he was also struggling.
“Lord Karl, it is undeniable that you are indeed a bait, but… precisely because of your importance, even if Abaddon knows that you are a bait, he will behead you at all costs!” Alvin said in a hurried tone: “Besides, with the space bridge, you will not be in any danger. You just need to use the space bridge immediately and teleport back to the alert planet before the attack arrives.”
Alert Star, must not fall!
Now, the only chance lies in Calgar, who can be used as bait to allow the Chaos Fleet to reach the predetermined coordinates, and then use the ‘Claws of the Void’ to severely damage Abaddon’s fleet in one blow!
They have two advantages in this plan.
First, the Chaos Fleet and Abaddon were unaware of the existence of the ‘Space Bridge’; second, Abaddon was not aware that the Fallen Angels of the Vigilant Fortress had quietly changed sides and became his subordinates.
With all their efforts, they have a great chance of winning this round… but the prerequisite is that Calgar must be willing to become this heavyweight bait!
Letting the Ultramarines Chapter Master, one of the three pillars of the Empire, act as a bait. Not to mention Abaddon and the Chaos Fleet, even the Empire… probably wouldn’t dare to think about it, let alone do it!
“Okay, I agree with your plan.”
After a moment, Calgar seemed to have finally finished thinking, closed his eyes, and nodded heavily: “Alvin Valxius, I… leave the fate of the entire Vigilance Planet, and even the fate of the empire, in your hands. Don’t let me down, and don’t… let down the former owner of the medal.”
“Yes, Lord Calgar.”
In the projection, Alvin solemnly promised: “I swear, I will not let you down!”
