Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 206 194. Sad betrayal
When the ruling of the High Lords Council of Terra was issued, it did not stop the war in the Maelstrom area, but instead made it intensify.

The Guardians of the Maelstrom are determined to defend their own interests, because most of them do not think that they have betrayed the Empire, but are just fighting against the corrupt High Lords Council.

The Empire is also determined to maintain its hegemony here, or in other words, the Council of High Lords is determined to show all the Astartes that they are the true rulers of the Empire, so that those who transformed can understand that the current era belongs to them. These mortals!
In order to successfully suppress the rebellion in the Maelstrom region, the High Lords Council even dispatched its own military equipment in the Terra region and decided to defend its authority here.Nearly two battleship formations in the quasi-sector were transferred from the Holy Terra and the Sun Star Domain to do this, and at the same time, the naval fleet in the Extreme Star Domain was ordered to immediately attack the rebels.

At the same time, in order to increase the possibility of victory, the Astartes Chapter required by the Gaoling Council must join the Imperial Expeditionary Force to defeat the Maelstrom Guardians who have betrayed the Gaoling Council.

Finally, after spending a lot of favors and strong orders, the Terran government spent a year organizing a new punishment fleet.The Astartes Expeditionary Force, composed of the Birds of Prey, Red Scorpions, Fire Angels, Salamanders and Red Hunters Chapters, came to fight.

Although the Terran Council asked the Ultramarines more than once to intervene to stop the fighting, Chapter Master Calgar responded to Terran bureaucrats with silence and all kinds of blame.After all, the Word Bearers have always treated the Ultramarines as a team-building activity. Now that the Ultramarines are ready to kick the Reducers back into the subspace, they have no time to pay attention to them.

And what is very interesting is that although the Star Claws are currently fighting against the Terran government, they have also sent troops to attack the world controlled by the Huaiyuan Chapter, Garmyk.

After all, at this moment, Huron does not intend to really fall out with the Empire. In his opinion, this time is at best a conflict with the High Lords. Anyway, they are not the only ones in the Astartes Chapter. There was a conflict with the high lord, and a beating will do.

Besides, he doesn't think that those brothers and cousins ​​who came to punish him will really be cruel to him. The previous knight errant is a good example. After the two sides met, it was as if they didn't see each other. This time, it is [-]% the same. so.

That's why he dared to participate in the parent group's team building activities with such confidence, and at the same time, he also showed the entire empire that he had no intention of joining Chaos.

In fact, if you just did all the things mentioned above, it would not be a big deal. After all, many war groups, especially those on the front lines of the empire, would do this. But the most wrong thing the Star Claws did was to resist taxes!
Note that the rhetoric here is about resisting taxes, not failure to deliver!
In fact, everyone in the High Lords Council knows that these war groups are fighting on the front line, and if they keep paying taxes, they will no longer be able to survive.These Astartes Chapters like the Knights are needed to defend the borders of the Empire, and coupled with their relationship with the Mechanicum, they are not easy to deal with in the first place, so many Chapters are not very diligent in paying the gene seed tax. .

However, in order to ensure the empire's influence in these frontier war groups, they will still collect some gene seeds. The quantity will not be large, just for fun.Most warbands will also understand what the other party means and hand over a portion to express their respect and obedience to the Supreme Lords Council of Terra.However, Huron may think that he has several battle groups under his command, which are very powerful and a little drifting, so he just doesn't pay taxes, not only doesn't pay taxes, but also directly detains the tax collection ship.

Now the problem is bigger.

As a Chapter of the Astartes, even if you don't usually pay taxes, you can expand the number of soldiers in your Chapter at will, the governor of the local planet will be killed, and you may even use the Holy Pawn of the Astartes as a napkin and confront the Inquisition. fine!
As long as you obey the orders of the council, the people in the nursing home can pretend that you are blind and have not seen anything, because they know that although you are jumping now, in general you still dare not disobey their orders and will not move. Their cake, so it’s none of their business what you do.

But the Terran Special Task Force has already arrived, and if you still don't show off, like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, then no one can save you.

Just like those officials in the Cartago Sector before, although some things may seem big, they are actually not that big of a deal in the eyes of the real big shots.But because of a serious mistake on your part, this kind of thing has to be weighed on a scale, and then a thing that weighs half a catty will become a thousand tons. Once things get to this point, no one can save Huron and his starry sky. claws.

This can also explain why Calgar was not prepared to join this expedition to persuade the Star Claws. As an Astartes Chapter Master with rich political experience, how could Calgar not know how far the Hurons had gone? The disaster is of no use now. It will only cause more trouble for itself and add stains to the glory of the Ultramarines.

In fact, Huron originally had many opportunities, but he wasted them all, so that now he has completely fallen into a dead situation.

So after that, the brother warbands who seemed to be joking with him in the early stages of the battle will also directly act harshly, because if you don't act harshly at this time, it means that you are not of the same mind as the entire Terra, and you will Under suspicion, your Chapter could become the next Guardians of the Maelstrom.

In this case, the largest naval battle in the entire campaign began. When the Maelstrom Alliance was most shocked and couldn't believe it, when most of their troops were fighting the heretics, the Empire struck hard at their backs. Stabbed in the ground.Ordiz, the leader of the Red Scorpion Chapter, decided to give the Maelstrom Alliance a severe blow and cut off one of the Star Claw's arms.

The Red Scorpions Chapter is a very typical Grand Ceremony Chapter. They hate traitors and genetic mutations very much. They believe that genetic purity is the best. At the same time, they also have the greatest hatred for aliens and even refuse to fight with demi-humans. .

Now they have led the imperial army to conduct exploratory attacks around the maelstrom, and after finding the direction, they decided to attack in the direction of the Desolate Space Territory.They are fighting against the Maelstrom Fleet led by the Lamenters Chapter in this area, and a large-scale naval battle will break out here.

In the year 41 of M906, the largest naval battle in the Badab War broke out. This battle was called the Battle of Silent Space in later generations.

Since the Imperial Navy led by the Red Scorpions hates alien races extremely, the combined fleets of Kalai and Tal'darin did not send troops to investigate.

If discovered on the battlefield, the greatest possibility is that all the hatred points will be attracted to them when they appear.Fortunately, they have been operating here for more than two years and have developed a rough intelligence network.

The final result of this war was that the Maelstrom Alliance's Overlord-class battlecruiser "Fist of Fury" was severely damaged, and it ended with the Maelstrom Alliance's forced retreat.

After this battle, the Red Scorpion Chapter originally continued to prepare to march towards the Vinia system, but was frustrated because the attack on this system encountered stubborn resistance from the local army.

Just when the two sides reached a deadlock, the Maelstrom Alliance came up with an idea: to hold talks in the Sad Galaxy.

Although most people did not believe that the Maelstrom Guardians would negotiate honestly, the leader of the Red Scorpions still believed in the credibility of the Star Claws and decided to go to negotiate.

But to everyone's surprise, when the negotiation process was at its most intense, three warships from the Chaos camp suddenly rushed out of the gas planet in the galaxy and attacked the two parties who were negotiating.

In the melee that ensued, both the Red Scorpion Chapter Leader and the Mantis Warriors Chapter Leader were killed, and Huron barely managed to escape with his life.

The angry expeditionary force believed that this accident was something that the Maelstrom Alliance had already anticipated. They used the evil power of Chaos Power to cause the tragedy.Separatists believe that indiscriminate attacks by the Inquisition caused this situation.Among all this, only Judge Felane believed that it was a conspiracy of Chaos. Those guys wanted to make the empire bleed continuously!

However, in the common sensibility, reason has been forgotten. The true words of Judge Felane were abandoned by the new Red Scorpion Chapter Leader. Now he just wants to avenge his former Chapter Leader!

This tragic assassination was called the "Sad Betrayal". After this incident, the entire campaign reached its climax.

But what everyone doesn't know, not even the Chaos Powers, is that the deep-sea predators that have been wandering on the dark edge of the galaxy are about to come here and bring the Emperor's punishment to all the Separatists, traitors and aliens. !

　Regarding the incident of sad betrayal, in fact, the official mentioned it briefly in the background. Later, I checked the information and found that most people use their own ideas, because I am not very good at creating in this aspect, so I can choose to jump. However, I hope all readers can understand it, thank you.
