Abaddon: Who Will Speak for Me
The Black Legion's flagship, the Vengeful Spirit, hovered in a vast, boundless Void.
Countless Chaos warships floated around it.
These Chaos warships were covered in flesh and blood, and were covered with eyes and sharp teeth. Some warships were also crawling on the surface with bizarre and twisted Warp creatures.
This is an extremely terrifying military force, capable of easily conquering a star sector and crushing all resistance.
As Warmaster, Ezekiel Abaddon stood on the bridge, planning the next battle and pondering how to completely destroy the Imperium of Man.
Since the fall of the Cadia Fortress
Abaddon then ordered the Crimson Crusade, which involved many battles, all in an effort to open the road to Terra, end the rule of the False Emperor, and accomplish what Horus had failed to do.
However, with Guilliman's return and the rise of that Living Saint, many battles were lost.
With the offensive of the Chaos forces thwarted, the Imperium of Man, which had been on the verge of collapse, rapidly grew in strength.
If this trend continues, the situation may reverse in a while.
My right-hand man, Khayon, is still imprisoned in Terra!
Before launching the Thirteenth Black Crusade, he was full of vigor and believed victory was assured.
Therefore, Khayon was sent alone to Terra to surrender to the Inquisition.
This move was solely to tell those damned High Lord that the Imperium was doomed to defeat, and Chaos would ultimately triumph.
Of course, the outcome of the Thirteenth Black Crusade was as he had predicted: the capture of the Cadia Fortress was carried out smoothly, the Great Rift was opened, and the entire Milky Way Rend.
Immediately afterwards, he launched the Crimson Crusade, which dealt a heavy blow to the Imperium's Loyalists, forcing them into a series of defeats as they marched towards Terra.
However, Guilliman's return disrupted many plans that should have gone smoothly.
The enemy's Indomitus Crusade thwarted the Crimson Crusade and recaptured those important resource planets.
Many Chaos Warband were routed by the counterattacking Imperial Army, suffering heavy casualties.
The Crimson Crusade has completely failed.
For now, Khayon can only stay in Terra for the time being.
We'll talk about attacking Terra when the situation reverses in the future.
Abaddon suppressed his many thoughts, looked around the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit, and basked in its magnificent glory.
Looking out the porthole, countless arched gun arrays with exaggerated calibers lined the edge of the warship.
Some cannons were so enormous that they could fit an entire Imperial Knight.
The vicious Servitor of the Dark Mechanicus were melted into the thick, tubular internal organs.
The warship's Gargoyle -shaped jets spewed Warp flames that tore through the mortal starry sky.
The iron fence beneath his feet was stained dark brown with blood.
These drops of blood are marks of history, where many Imperium heroes shed their blood, some of whom were Emperor and Sanguinius.
Abaddon smiled as he looked down at the Talon of Horus mounted on his hand, savoring the memory of slaying the Primarch within it, reminiscing about it once more.
The demonic Drach'nyen trembled behind the Despoiler, envying the glory of its rival weapon in that time and place.
"Alright, you will also have the opportunity to drink the blood of the Primarch, or even the blood of the Emperor himself."
Abaddon soothed the demon sword, which gradually calmed its rage.
"Let me see the situation in the Milky Way."
Abaddon turned to his wizards and spoke.
"Follow your will, plunderer."
The wizard bowed respectfully, and then led a group of dark wizards in casting a spell.
Some Loyalist in tattered uniforms were dragged up.
Their throats were slit, and their crimson blood sprayed onto the Chaos magic circle, making its radiance shine even brighter.
"You will perish!" shouted a ragged female officer prisoner. "The God-Emperor will surely triumph, and humanity cannot be defeated."
The other party's shout elicited a mocking smile from Abaddon.
"Your words make me laugh, you poor thing."
"No one can defeat me, not even the gods."
The Eight-Pointed Star carved on the floor gleamed with a scarlet light, their interlacing patterns depicting different regions of the Milky Way.
Abaddon glanced around at the many portraits floating in front of him, then pointed to one of them.
The image automatically floated in front of the Despoiler.
Faint howls formed a melody of pain, constantly emanating from the images.
Amidst hellish glare, a brutal battlefield scene is revealed.
Countless corpses piled up like mountains, and screaming the Beast roamed the ruins, howling at the sky.
The Imperium's Double-Headed Eagle banner fell to the ground and was then set ablaze.
Countless worlds are burning, engulfing the city in darkness.
A satisfied smile spread across Abaddon's cold face.
"After the fall of the Cadia Fortress, the throat of the Corpse Emperor's kingdom was cut open, and it should have bled wildly until it died."
Thinking of this, Abaddon's eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
It's all Guilliman's fault and that Living Saint's fault.
Without them, the Imperium would have collapsed long ago.
Abaddon suppressed his emotions, waved his hand to make the image disappear, and then looked at another image.
"I will succeed; the era of the Primarch is over."
"One day, they will all kneel before me."
"Whether it's Guilliman or Lion El'Jonson, they will both become my defeated opponents."
Abaddon swore in a low voice that he would never give up like this.
He could spend ten thousand years crippling the Imperium, or another ten thousand years defeating the Primarch.
Just as Abaddon was preparing to continue reviewing the footage and focusing on the key war zones,
A hellish light suddenly flashed, and the image tilted strangely.
A surge of psionic energy, a mixture of anger and panic, erupted and swept across the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit.
"What happened?"
Abaddon shouted, looking up and around, and saw the wizards presiding over the ceremony kneeling on the ground, their faces contorted in pain, groaning incessantly.
Chaos Warrior clad in Terminator Armour rushed in through the door to protect the Despoiler.
But the next second, they were all blown away by the sudden burst of spiritual energy.
A gale, carrying with it a bright glare, created a storm that swept everyone on the bridge away.
The grotesque flesh and blood, fused with the cables, emitted a piercing scream, terrified by the terrifying pressure it felt.
A dozen or so tall figures appeared in the center of the storm.
The three leaders were very tall, like gods descended to earth.
They are none other than Magnus, Fulgrim, and Lorgar, the three Daemon Primarch.
After reaching a consensus on cooperation on Sorcerer's World, they acted swiftly.
To deal with Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson, as well as that Living Saint, we need an army strong enough to rival the Imperium.
So they set their sights on the Black Legion formed by Abaddon.
This legion absorbed the vast majority of Chaos forces and is the Chaos army that the Imperium of Man finds most troublesome.
By controlling this legion, one can naturally fight against the Imperial Army.
Magnus cast a spell directly on Sorcerer's World, using his powerful psychic energy to send himself, his two brothers, and their offspring aboard the Vengeful Spirit.
Abaddon's eyes widened instantly upon seeing the three Primarch appear.
This!!
What the hell is this?
Why are those three of them running out instead of staying in the Eye of Terror?
"I never imagined that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye, and Abaddon would have become Warmaster." Lorgar Jia looked down at Abaddon, who was being protected by Terminator warriors.
"Lorgar." Abaddon looked directly at the other person.
Ten thousand years ago, he would never have had such courage.
But times have changed; it's no longer the era of the Primarch.
It was the era that belonged to him, the Despoiler.
"From this moment forward, the Black Legion will be under our command," Magnus said, looking at Abaddon.
"No!!" Abaddon angrily refused, "The Black Legion is mine, you have no right to command it."
"You have no choice."
Magnus reached out his hand
Abaddon was gripped by an invisible hand, his throat pinned down.
Immediately afterwards, he was lifted into the Void by an invisible force.
An invisible force came from all directions, squeezing his armor until it groaned in pain.
If he refused to relinquish power, Magnus wouldn't hesitate to grind him into a pulp.
A group of Chaos Warrior and wizards tried to rush over to rescue their master.
But Fulgrim and Lorgar stepped forward, looking at the Chaos Warrior and wizards.
Their mere gaze instilled fear in these people, preventing them from approaching.
"Okay, I agree."
Abaddon, who was on the verge of suffocating, used his last bit of strength to squeeze out what he wanted to say.
As soon as he finished speaking, Abaddon was thrown out and crashed heavily onto the floor with a dull thud.
"You're smart to know what's good for you," Magnus said coldly.
Abaddon struggled to his feet, looking at Magnus but daring not to offer the slightest resistance.
Even with the blessing of the Chaos Gods, he could not truly fight against a Daemon Primarch.
"And you?" Magnus looked around at the Chaos Warrior and wizards.
Those guys looked at each other, then knelt down on one knee and pledged their loyalty to the three Daemon Primarch.
Seeing this, Lorgar smiled with satisfaction.
"Very well, let's get down to business and how to deal with Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson."
"We need to find a suitable location to set a trap."
Lorgar reached out, Chaos Star shone even brighter.
The light traced the star map of the Milky Way in the Void.
The Great Rift Rend the entire galaxy was exceptionally conspicuous.
"Let's choose this place."
Lorgar Jia pointed to the star map.
It is the Nachmund Gauntlet that connects the Imperium Nihilus with the Holy Territory.
"As long as we cut off this connection, we can completely sever the Imperium Nihilus from Terra, and our father will lose half of his territory."
"When war breaks out here and the Imperial Army is bogged down, I will use Guilliman's foster parents to force him into a trap alone, and then defeat him one by one."
Commorragh,
Qin Yun stood atop a magnificent Imperium building, overlooking the bustling Webway city.
After such a long period of reconstruction, the city has regained its former prosperity.
The Craftworld Aeldari live in harmony here.
Every day, countless ships pass through the Webway to come here, using Commorragh as a transit point on their way to other parts of the Milky Way.
Most of these were Aeldari ships; the Imperium of Man Fleet still habitually uses the Warp as its primary means of navigation.
However, Qin Yun believed that as time went on, the number of human fleets using the Webway channels would inevitably increase.
During this period, the repair work on the Webway also made considerable progress, with several large Webway leading to the Imperium Nihilus being cleared out.
At present, small fleets have been able to pass through, proving that these Webway are usable.
This means that the Imperium of Man now has the confidence to break free of the Nachmund Gauntlet.
"It's time to set a trap for Abaddon. If we can retrieve the souls of Sanguinius scattered throughout the Vengeful Spirit, we can fully resurrect him."
Qin Yun was already planning his next move.
The plan is to revive Sanguinius first.
By then, the Imperium will have three Primarch.
"It feels like the Second Imperium is coming back."
Qin Yun muttered to himself.
Could the other Primarch be fighting another Siege of Terra?
These three were the only ones who didn't participate; they hid on the sidelines and built a new Imperium.
Qin Yun wanted to summon Eldrad and the incarnation of the Laughing God.
Then, they connected with Guilliman and Lion El'Jonson again to discuss the Battle of Nachmund Gauntlet.
How to attract Abaddon
How to seize the Vengeful Spirit
How to save Sanguinius
And after the destruction of the Nachmund Gauntlet, how should the Imperium of Man seamlessly switch to the Webway?
Once inside the Webway, how should the rights of passage for humans and Aeldari be determined?
These issues all need to be discussed clearly.
Just as Qin Yun stood up, preparing to convene a meeting, he suddenly remembered something else, so he summoned Xi Ling.
"By the way, Xi Ling, award rewards to the player organizations that participated in the Koronus Expanse, such as the Damo, especially those that participated in capturing Erebus. Each player team should be awarded a Copper Aquila Medal."
Qin Yun was somewhat surprised to learn that Damo and his men had captured Erebus alive.
The worst guy in the entire Milky Way has actually been caught.
If Qin Yun hadn't actually seen the video and photos, and hadn't been verified by Xi Ling, he would have thought that the players from Damo and the others were just joking around.
After all, what kind of being is Erebus? His escape skills are unparalleled in the Milky Way.
The main trope is to cause trouble and then run away.
"Yes, Master." Xi Ling nodded and turned to get busy.
Meanwhile, on the Automata side,
The thirteenth batch of players has also logged in.
With flashes of light, players appeared Second Company in the wide square and church.
In no time, it was packed with people.
These players were the same as the twelve groups of players who had come in before them.
I was utterly stunned by the incredibly realistic game world of Warhammer Online.
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
Wow, the air, the light and shadow.
"I'm not very educated, so I can only use the word 'awesome' to describe it."
"..."
Of course, many players also did some bizarre things.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Thunderclaps continued to appear,
Players who break the rules are occasionally hacked to pieces.
"I came, I conquered, brothers, for the Emperor."
One player raised his arm and shouted, which prompted other players to respond. In an instant, the shouts were like clouds, and the sound shook the sky.
P. S.: Another chapter, hope you guys like it.
After finishing coding, I didn't have time to correct some typos.
