What I Have Said Is Done. Who Agrees, and Who Opposes?

Inside the council chamber of the Bloodstained warship, hundreds of Warband Lords, large and small, finally met the wicked "Zane".

He received a lot of attention as soon as he entered.

But Alvin, who was used to big scenes, was not flustered at all. Under the malicious and angry gazes of these Chaos Warband Lord, he sat down in the head seat and then remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

These people were clearly there to hold "Zane" accountable, but now that he had arrived, everyone present had their own agenda, and no one wanted to be targeted by "Zane" or become the "scapegoat."

Just then, someone spoke up.

"My lord, you have misunderstood."

The one who said this was Necromon, the Warband Lord, whose power was second only to the Bloodstained Ones, making it the number one warband in the Chaos Fleet.

He glanced disdainfully at Zane, who sat at the head of the table, and said sarcastically, "Because of your command a few days ago, we have suffered heavy losses on all sides. If we continue to carry out the plan, it will be difficult to achieve any results and will only deplete our own strength. As a high-ranking Chaos Lord, don't you need to give us an explanation?"

That was quite a blunt statement.

But Necromon had his reasons for being confident; others feared Zane, but he did not!

Although Zane beheaded Salton and absorbed the Bloodstained Warband, it was impossible for him to reclaim those people in just a few days.

In other words, right now, the only Zane can completely obey is the small Blood Skull Warband.

No matter how good you are at fighting, what good is it!

"You're asking me for an explanation?" Alvin's gaze fell on Necromon, and he was secretly overjoyed.

That's right, I was just looking for someone to assert my authority, and here I am, saving him the trouble of choosing.

Unaware of his thoughts, Necromon, believing he represented everyone's opinion, grew even more arrogant and directly challenged, "My lord, sitting in this position isn't just about being a good fighter. If you lack command skills, I advise you to let someone else take over as soon as possible, lest you be punished by Lord Abaddon later."

"Oh?"

Seeing Necromon's true intentions revealed, Alvin slowly raised his head, his eyes fierce and violent. "You want to seize power?"

Those violent, blood-red eyes made Necromon's heart tremble instantly, as if gripped by an invisible hand. He subconsciously took a half step back, bumping into a chair with a squeak. But this scene was witnessed by the others.

They dared not speak even more. Zane could not control Necromon, but he could easily control them.

"Don't try to threaten me, Zane!"

Feeling humiliated, Necromon glared angrily, slammed his fist on the table, and roared, "Just for your reckless command these past few days, causing heavy losses to the Chaos Fleet, even if you were promoted through a ritual, I can still get Lord Abaddon to dismiss you!"

"Who else shares his thoughts?"

Alvin raised a slight smile, then turned to look at the others, his cold gaze sweeping over them one by one.

"Zane, I think Lord Necromon is right, you're not suited to command."

"That's right, Lord Abaddon has been planning this war for a long time. We can't afford to fail because of personal issues. You should hand over command to Lord Necromon."

Necromon's lips curled into a smug smile as he looked at Zane: "See? This is everyone's opinion. You don't want to lose the war and be punished by Lord Abaddon, do you?"

His personal fighting skills are indeed no match for Zane's, but when it comes to scheming and trickery, sorry, he's a follower of "Tzeentch," far more capable than Zane, that idiot whose mind is only filled with killing!

This was the method he had conceived of for seizing power.

By exploiting Zane's ambition and foolish command, they could get the people to elect him as the new Chaos Lord, thus avoiding a bloody ritual and successfully seizing power.

These six individuals are all Warband Lord second only to him, controlling the majority of the fleet's manpower, which is the source of his confidence.

Unfortunately, Necromon overlooked one point.

One, two, three... six. Looking at the six people who stepped forward, Alvin glanced at them one by one. Although he was not entirely satisfied, as there were too few people, it was still barely enough.

So he gave Afkar a look, signaling that it was his turn to take the stage.

"Come on, enough talk, let's fight one-on-one!"

Afkar understood his meaning, stepped forward, beckoned to the six men, and said succinctly but extremely insultingly, "All six of you, come at me together."

"What do you mean by this, Lord Zane!" Necromon acknowledged, but then cautiously stared at him. "We are discussing how to better carry out Lord Abaddon's orders, not engaging in internal strife!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Alvin leaned against the armrest and sneered, "You want to seize power? It's simple, beat his father and the position is yours."

"Don't worry, all six of you come at me together," Afkar said cooperatively. "Or do you think that six of you can't beat me even if you take on one?"

However, faced with his provocation, Necromon remained cautious. "Lord Zane, this is war, not a gladiatorial arena where victory or defeat can be decided by individual strength. I disagree!"

He's not Khorne, those idiots whose minds are filled with glory and slaughter. Why would he create unnecessary trouble when victory is clearly assured?

Besides, this guy is definitely not simple, since he was sent out by Zane!

Thinking this through, Necromon became even more determined that he could not agree to his idea!

Seeing Necromon repeatedly backing down and refusing to agree, Alvin lost interest. "You disagree? Who do you think you are? You're going to fight today, whether you like it or not!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Afkar lunged forward, slit one man's throat with his dagger, and sent another flying with a punch, his target Necromon!

"Zane, are you insane?!"

Necromon screamed in terror. He couldn't believe that this guy would dare to openly kill a Chaos Lord!

But what he didn't expect was yet to come!

The other Chaos Lord, witnessing this scene, were all terrified by Zane's madness, but they were quickly enraged. "You're not treating them like human beings!"

So they went up to help.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the chest of a Chaos Lord was pierced through by the Melta. He stared wide-eyed at Alvin in disbelief before collapsing into a pool of blood.

"You all better sit still!!!"

Just then, a loud shout froze the restless Chaos Lord in place.

"Anyone who dares to move, I'll shoot them!" Alvin grinned maliciously, as dozens of figures surged out from around him, aiming their dark gun barrels at the Chaos Lord.

If they dare to make any rash moves, I will follow in that person's footsteps and be melted by a single shot!

"Help me! Help me!!!"

Clearly, Necromon and the other six were no match for the frenzied Afkar!

But with guns pointed at them, these people dared not move.

They could only watch helplessly as Afkar snapped their necks, slaughtered them one by one, and then chopped off their heads and threw them onto the table.

Necromon's head, bloodied and gruesome, lay on the table, his eyes wide with terror, as if he couldn't believe that Zane had dared to do such a thing!

"He's dead, now—listen to me!"

Alvin, playing the role of "Zane," scanned the men with his bloodshot gaze, a chilling madness emanating from him. The stench of blood was so thick it was almost suffocating. "Integrate the elites of your respective warbands. Two days from now."

I will personally lead the raid on Avalon's Hive City!

"Lord Great"

Bang!

Another shot, marking the death of a Chaos Lord, whose body exploded into minced meat, splattering onto the faces of the surrounding lords.

"Now that I've finished speaking, who agrees and who disagrees?"

Alvin raised his eyes, his sinister and violent aura like a raging tsunami engulfing the entire council hall. The thick and pungent smell of blood and sulfur invaded the nasal cavity of every lord and filled their lungs.

The atmosphere in the entire council chamber was suffocating; a terrifying pressure weighed on everyone!

They even seemed to see a terrifying, blood-red giant shadow around "Zane" that was almost tangible and twisted!

Those who can enter this council hall have all received some form of blessing from the Chaos Gods, but—someone like "Zane" is different.

The blessing manifested as an illusion, even affecting the phenomena of the Materium. They knew very well what this meant!

In other words, Zane was highly regarded by Khorne, and even the level of blessing he received was far higher than that given to these people!

Such a "blessing" would mean that even if Zane died, he would be resurrected by Khorne himself. And if nothing unexpected happens—as long as Zane can complete the Blood God's eightfold trial, he will be "ascended" and become Greater Daemon, or even a prince!

"No, no objection!"

I agree!

"The Bloodskull Lord's plan is brilliant!"

Who dares to raise an objection?

Looking at the corpses, they shuddered; Zane was a complete madman!

"Smile, why aren't you smiling?"

Alvin smiled, looking at them with a chilling murderous intent in his voice. "Not smiling? Do you have a problem with me?"

"No, I wouldn't dare... Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha-·

"Hahaha--"

Bang!

The crowd, who were still laughing, turned deathly pale.

They turned their heads stiffly, staring at a Chaos Lord whose head had been blown off after the gunshot, their eyes filled with both terror and horror.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not a bloodthirsty person..."

Alvin slowly put down the Plasma Gun, revealing a kind smile, "It was his awful smile that made me unable to hold back. You all understand how I felt, right?"

"Ability--"

Everyone lowered their heads in fear.

Zane is a complete madman. It's best not to mess with him. He has Khorne backing him up, so he's fearless!

As for Afkar, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

He always felt that his Grand Master seemed to have an amazing talent for the path of Khorne!
