Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 9 9. The Wrath of the Ultramarines

Extreme Star Territory, Five Hundred Worlds, Macragge.

Macragge is the most dazzling star in the eastern territory of the Human Empire. It is not only the capital of the entire Ultramar Sector and the Ultramar Sector, it is also the 13th son of the Emperor, the Primarch of the Ultramarines. The home of Robert Guilliman.Countless traitors once tried to attack here but were ultimately defeated. After the Second Founding of the Army, this became the home world of the Ultramarines Chapter.

In the fertile land of Macragge, Marius Augustus Calgar, the leader of the Ultramarines Chapter, stood on top of his territory castle and looked at the beautiful city illuminated by the sun in the distance, but he My mood is obviously not as good as the current weather.

A coded urgent communication from the edge of the Extreme Star Territory broke the tranquility here.Just a month ago, an alien pirate fleet plundered more than a dozen human worlds, including two hive worlds.

In just one week, humans have lost 13 cruisers and a large number of small battleships. The opponent only suffered the loss of two main battleships and a large number of small fighters and spaceships. This is unimaginable for humans and some unfortunate events. Even half the planet was plundered.A large number of people, resources, battleships and merchant ships have been lost from the hands of the Emperor. This is intolerable!
Calgar looked at the beautiful scene in the distance, but in his mind was the tragic situation of the cities destroyed by the alien forces. Although those cities and hives are destined not to be as beautiful and rich as the 500 world, the people of the empire there should not be subjected to Such an unreasonable disaster!
Thinking of this, Calgar's anger welled up in his heart, and the ruling hand holding on to the marble railing squeezed hard, accidentally crushing the ornate railing.Just as Calgar was trying to calm himself down, his war group servants cautiously walked over and said
"My lord, the judge has arrived."

Calga nodded after hearing this, with a determined light in his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the housekeeper who lowered his head in front of him and said

"Take me there, don't keep the Inquisitor waiting."

In the living room of the old castle, Judge Kurga looked at the slightly extinguished fire in the fireplace. He clamped a few firewood with the iron tongs next to him and put them in to make the fire burn brighter and illuminate some of the fire. Dark hall.Just when he was about to use the iron tongs to stuff more firewood, the hall was suddenly lit up. When Kalga looked back, it turned out that the housekeeper beside Kalga had turned on the light, and the gorgeous light shined through the beautiful crystal hanging The decoration shone into the entire hall, suddenly making the originally dark room brighter.

Calgar strode forward, looked at the somewhat embarrassed inquisitor and said with a smile

"Dear Judge Kurga, I think there is no need to keep a fire in the summer. Well, can you put out the firewood? If you pull the lever on the left side of the fireplace, the soot will fall down and extinguish the flame. Can you please For a moment?"

After hearing this, the judge quickly pulled the lever to extinguish the flame, coughed twice and sat on the small sofa next to him.Calga then sat on the big sofa in the middle. The butler next to him saw that he had brought two bone china cups of different sizes and placed them in front of them.Kurga picked up the tea cup and quietly took a sip of the sweet green tea, sighing and saying
"As expected of the tea produced by Macragge, the pearl of the empire, the taste is indeed sweet and mellow."

After hearing this, Calga smiled seasonedly and said

"I can send some to your office if the Inquisitor likes."

Kurga nodded after hearing this and said
"I really want to order this kind of tea. After all, I may not be able to enjoy it in the future. This time, such a big incident happened on the edge of the limit star field. I will be transferred. I heard that I am going to the obscurity star field."

After hearing this, Calja was stunned for a moment, sighed and said
"That's such a pity, Kurga, one of the more rational factions in the Tribunal. I'm very sad to see you leave."

"There is nothing to be sad about, Chapter Master Calgar. No matter where he serves, he is serving the Emperor. But the Inquisitor who is about to be transferred is different! It is the Inquisitor of the Foreign Order, Angre. Abel Van.”

After hearing this, Calja put down the bone china cup in his hand and asked seriously

"Then what kind of person is he?" After hearing this, Kurga also put down the teacup and sighed.
"He is a very extreme person, ruthless, one-minded, crazy like a Khorne believer. Everyone feels like a heretic or a traitor sent by the aliens, and he likes to give random orders when nothing happens. But because of him His ruthless style and extremely violent personality allow him to often accomplish things that were difficult to accomplish in the past, so we also call him a "mad dog" in private."

But after Calga heard this, not only did he not show a worried expression, but he smiled and said
"That's exactly what we need!"

"what?!"

Kurga was a little confused when he saw Calgar's behavior. In his eyes, the empire's chapter leader prefers to solve problems through gentle means. He should not have anything in common with that kind of mad dog. ah?If Calgar follows, it will solve his doubts

"Judge Kurgar, I have decided to personally participate in this expedition. Please add the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]th companies of the Ultramarines to the list of the Anti-foreign Order, including myself, and join the expedition team! I We will use the blood of aliens to pay homage to the people of the empire who died tragically!!”

Calga was shocked when he heard the sonorous and powerful voice, and Calga in front of him seemed to become taller.In a daze, Kurga seemed to see the shadows of the Primarch carved on the church from his body, which was admirable.

After hearing this, Kurga took a deep breath, recovered from the trance, and tried to keep a calm mood and said
"Also, I have some information on the inner side of the Gulf of Damocles. This is information obtained from the rogue traders and some inquisitors."

Hearing this, Calga turned his head and asked with a frown.
"Did the Rogue Traders and the Inquisitors already know that there is an alien regime there? Why didn't they report it earlier?"

Kurga sighed and said

"Let me explain. First of all, the Rogue Traders tried to trade inside the Gulf of Damocles. However, when they passed the route that took nearly a year, they encountered an alien fleet. Those aliens had abnormal speed. Fast battleships equipped with a large number of plasma and beam cannons, and weapons that could confine a certain range of space, trapped the Rogue Trader fleet. However, the aliens did not attack them but only warned them that they could no longer cross the harbor. , otherwise we will launch another attack."

"What about the Merchant Fleet?"

"I have never been there again. After all, the fleets of the Rogue Traders had no way to compete with the unknown aliens. They could only report to the Tribunal first and then find a way. And it happened to be the era of the Two Emperors at that time, and this matter was finally over. That's it. The intelligence collected by the Tribunal itself came from an insider in Commorragh. He learned from a Dark Eldar that there was a market transshipment point in the Gulf of Damocles. Then you It's like a smaller Dark City, and the race that controls it is the Tal'darin."

"Taldarin?"

"Yes, Tal'darin."

Kurga nodded and said seriously
"Calgar Chapter Master, I have been here for nearly 40 years. We are barely friends. Let me give you a kind reminder. Don't underestimate those aliens, because it is said that they are the same as the Eldar. Ancient creatures, even older. Even those arrogant bean sprouts dare not despise them. Their technology and strength are no worse than the Eldar or even a little better, so please be careful!"

After hearing this, Calga was silent for a while, walked to the sofa again, picked up the tea cup, blew away the tea foam covering it, took a quiet sip, and said calmly
"Thank you, my friend. In the name of the Emperor, I will complete this great expedition with caution."
