Q: How do I seduce a highly ambitious person?

The answer is simple: give him what he desires most!

What does Salton desire most right now?

The best course of action is to capture Avalon as quickly as possible, creating a safe rear supply depot for the Black Crusade, while simultaneously cutting off Imperium reinforcements.

The problem is that although Avalon has no Space Marine Chapter to support it for the time being, the Imperial Navy and Astra Militarum stationed there are proving very resilient.

For the time being, they really had no way to bypass these damned guys and directly airdrop into the Hive City.

Black Legion warrior Abaddon undoubtedly hopes they can capture Avalon as soon as possible and cut off the supply line between the Imperium and the Stone Fortress.

The ambitious Salton naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, but it was also true that the Chaos Fleet would find it difficult to break through the Imperium's stubborn defenses in a short time.

If this drags on for too long, his standing in Abaddon's eyes will naturally plummet.

Since that's the case— Alvin will "give" him a share, a huge credit indeed.

Soon after, Salton received a secret communication from his spy within the Blood Skull Warband.

They found a way to bypass the Imperium Space Force's defenses and land directly in Avalon, even just a few days ago...

Zane even personally led his Chapter to try it out once.

Upon hearing this news, Salton was overjoyed; he did not believe it was a trap.

After all, these spies were all personally trained and planted in various factions by him, with the aim of timely monitoring.

The movements of these Warband Lords.

Sure enough, Alvin soon received an invitation from Salton to convene a council, inviting all Warband Lord to attend.

How did you know there were spies here?

Seeing this, Afkar asked curiously.

"Ha, he's so paranoid, and he seized power, how could he possibly trust these Warband Lords?" Alvin chuckled and explained, "Besides, he doesn't meet with these Warband Lord often, yet he can command them precisely and even understand their movements. I can't think of any other possibility than planting spies."

Alvin brought only two people with him, and they arrived at Salton's warship in a small flying vehicle.

Meanwhile, the Warband Lord of the fleet also arrived at the council hall, each accompanied by only two or three people. This was at Salton's request, as he feared the same thing would happen to him.

The council began, and Salton, with his mild demeanor, first looked at Zane: "I heard that a few days ago you found a way to bypass the Imperium of Man's defenses and enter the Hive City?"

Zane seemed alarmed, exhaling a breath through his nose, too lazy to reply.

Salton's face stiffened, and he could only suppress his anger, trying to persuade him with righteous indignation, "Zane, you know our current situation. We desperately need this method to capture the Hive City as soon as possible so as to achieve Lord Abaddon's strategic goals. What method do you have? Tell me quickly."

"On what grounds?"

Alvin, with his legs propped up on the table, looked at Salton with disdain. "I came up with the idea, and I did the work. Now you're trying to steal the credit?"

Salton, who had been inexplicably scolded, vaguely realized that something was wrong. This guy didn't seem to be here to give him credit; he seemed to be here to cause trouble!

"Zane, I won't forget your contribution." With everyone present, Salton suppressed his temper and said grimly, "Everyone is here for Lord Abaddon's Black Crusade. Since you know the method, shouldn't you have said it?"

"Why should I say it just because you tell me to?" Alvin's arrogant tone made all the Chaos Warband Lord present turn their heads in disapproval.

"Zane!!!"

Enraged by the repeated provocations, Salton slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Fuck you, come at me one-on-one!"

Alvin also displayed a "Khorne"-like attitude. Faced with Salton's accusations, he jumped up from his chair, slammed one foot on the table, pointed at the bewildered Salton, and roared, "Still trying to shirk responsibility? Lord Abaddon ordered you to attack a Hive City, but it's been nothing but wind and rain for days! You can't even take down a Hive City? You're utterly useless, a disgrace to the Black Legion! And you still have the nerve to brag?!"

"???"

The Warband Lord in the council hall were stunned to see that "Zane of the Blood Skull Warband" was so brave as to point his finger at Salton and curse him to his face.

What... what kind of show is this?!

Meanwhile, Afkar and the others behind him were so frightened by Alvin's actions that their scalps tingled and cold sweat poured down their backs!

Brother, this isn't Hive City, this is the Chaos Fleet! You're surrounded by enemies, do you really need to be so arrogant?!

Salton also hated it.

Something's not right, is it?!

How did it suddenly turn into a one-on-one fight?!

"Zane, are you crazy?!" Salton, regaining his senses, had a dark expression on his face, his eyes looking as if he wanted to tear him apart.

"Shut up, let's fight one-on-one!" Alvin sneered, his words flowing smoothly in elegant High Gothic: "Trash,

If it weren't for you, I would have already taken over the Hive City with my men. If you're too scared to fight one-on-one, shut your mouth and get out of here!

Salton's eyes burned with rage, his fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

"Hmph, coward. If you're too scared to fight one-on-one, then get off me and stop occupying this seat."

Zane, extremely arrogant, pointed at Salton's nose and cursed, "With your pathetic appearance, you can't even break into a Hive City in half a day, and you still have the nerve to command us? I challenge you to a duel, dare you? Trash!"

"One-on-one!"

"One-on-one!"

"Say yes, my lord!"

"You can tolerate this? I couldn't!"

At this moment, looking at the excited crowd around him, who seemed to be enjoying the Warband Lord, Salton's face was dark and gloomy. He knew he had been forced into a corner and had no choice but to agree!

This is the inherent weakness of the Chaos Gang.

Whether you are a follower of the Blood God, the Lord of Change, the Benevolent Father, or the Prince of Pleasure, although our beliefs differ, we all share one thing in common: might makes right!

Just like Salton, who took advantage of the Chaos Fleet's failed attack to shift the blame onto the Legion Lord at the time, and then, claiming absolute "righteousness," openly demanded a duel with the Legion Lord to decide who was the true strongman by life or death.

However, the same tactic is now being used against him.

Similarly, if Salton dares to back down, then this Chaos Fleet, with its hundreds of warbands large and small, will face dire consequences.

They will no longer obey his orders.

The reason is simple: the Chaos Gang believes in the strong and will not submit to the weak!

Want to prove you're strong?

It's very simple. Only those who can survive the fight and walk out of the ring can earn the respect and recognition of these lunatics!

"Good--.-!

Salton was furious, but also had no choice but to agree to the man's demands; his eyes were murderous.

"Zane," he sneered, "I'll cut off your head and make it my hundredth ornament!"

"Shut up!"

"Zane" gave a thumbs-down and sneered, "Once I cut your head off, I'll feed it to the dogs. Don't ask why, you won't pay!"

Salton was furious. "Zane, stop talking nonsense, come here—I'm going to tell you myself why I became the Chaos Lord!"

The two stepped into a bloody killing field, decorated with twisted spikes, covered with skulls, and even various kinds of trophies.

The field was covered in blood!

Salton quickly chose a Chainsword, glaring menacingly at Zane: "Come on, weakling!"

"What are you looking at, you motherfucker? Come here and face your death!"

Alvin, disguised as "Zane," picked up a Power sword: "If I don't chop your head off in ten seconds, I'm not Zane!"

The next moment, the two of them, like savage beasts, crashed into each other amidst the frenzied shouts around them!

Bang!

As the air blasted, the two retreated.

Salton roared, his Chainsword slashing down at his opponent with perfect angle and force. With his extensive combat experience, he was certain that this strike would sever this damned bastard's head!

However, at the very moment their paths crossed!

In Alvin's eyes, however, hundreds of branches of "future" were reflected. He pretended to lose his balance, but in reality, it was a deliberate flaw he revealed!

Seeing that Salton had fallen for the trap, Alvin immediately twisted his waist and turned around, his Power sword moving at an extremely strange angle, like a gazelle's horns.

It slit Salton's throat!

La!

Blood splattered and gushed out!

Salton's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and as if in disbelief, he clutched his neck and staggered back several steps, muttering, "No... impossible..."

He was instantly killed in a single exchange?!

However, before Salton could struggle, Alvin swung his sword again, severing Salton's head completely. With a flick of the blade, he impaled Salton's severed head on the tip of the sword. "Tell me, who is the victor?!"

"Zane! Zane! Zane!"

Lord of Blood and Skull!

Treading over blood and severed limbs, amidst the frenzied shouts of the Chaos Space Marine, Alvin, with Salton's head impaled on the tip of his blade, let out a primal and savage roar, raising his arm and clenching his fist. "By the Blood God, now—I am your lord!!!"

Afkar:".

The knight commander suddenly seemed a little dazed.

The plot seems to have gone a bit off track. They weren't here to create an inside job, infiltrate the Chaos Fleet, and assassinate...

Did they destroy the Chaos Fleet?

How did their "First Watch Knight" and "Grand Master of the Sons of the Forest" become the lord of the Chaos Fleet in the blink of an eye?!

Broken!

Afkar gazed at Alvin in the arena, who held Salton's head on his shoulder, his body trampled underfoot, roaring with raised arms.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could they have really turned into Chaos?!
