The Emperor’s Angel of Death

"The Emperor's Angel of Death (

"At the beginning, it was just a conflict, killing for selfish desires and crippling walls... But this kind of thing has happened a lot. We know that their minds and bodies have been corrupted, and their belief system has been distorted. It's a pure conflict again, this is a rebellion against the emperor."

Hearing Soshyan's words, Malakin nodded silently.

"Rebellion has many forms. It can be blatant, just like the rebellion that swept the stars. It may also be difficult to detect and hide the murderous intent, but the final result is the same."

Soshyang's smile was as bright and sharp as the blade of the opponent's waist.

Then Almin stepped forward and handed a huge green-skinned head to Malakin, as if he wanted to give it as a gift.

Malakin stared at the huge and heavy head unbelievably. For a moment, Soshyan even felt that the opponent might not accept the trophy.

After a while, Malakin took the head with his free hand, and then passed it to the soldier next to him.

"I would like to witness your intentions, Captain Soshyan."

He said, sheathing the long sword.

At this time, another voice rang from the high platform.

"Seeing you holding the sword, I thought you couldn't wait to go to war."

It is Lord Magyar, his voice is not friendly.

The lord of the death temple stepped down from the high platform step by step, with an aggressive posture, the end of the sickle in his hand slashed across the metal floor, making a harsh rubbing sound.

It was like a wild beast rubbing its fangs.

"We are ready to fight to the death with the emperor's enemy at any time."

Malakin responded indifferently.

Soshyan, who stood between them, naturally knew how this natural hostility came about.

This dates back to two thousand years ago. During the Ninth Black Expedition, the Weeper was ordered to go to the Cardian region to resist the invasion of the Chaos Legion. At that time, the Ascetics were also in this battle.

In a battle to protect the planet, the weepers were surrounded by heavy enemy troops, so they asked for help from the nearest ascetics, but the ascetics not only did not respond, but also abandoned the isolated and helpless Weepers out of mistrust. .

In the end, reinforcements from the White Scar and the Extreme Warrior arrived and saved the Weeping Band. However, the band also suffered a devastating blow. Only 200 fighters remained. They did not fully recover until two thousand years later. Before the outbreak of the Buda War, there were only 800 weepers.

Therefore, since the Ninth Black Expedition, the Weeping Band has pulled the Ascetic Band into the blacklist, which has never been saved.

Of course, neither Mazar nor Malakin were even born at that time.

But this does not affect their natural hostility towards each other.

"But you are with the enemy of the emperor?"

As soon as Mazar said this, the soldiers of the weeping man became agitated and stretched out their hands to their weapons.

After seeing this, the fighters of the Ascetic Band made the same move.

The atmosphere stiffened suddenly.

Soshyang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

At first, Lord Magyar heard the arrival of the Weeping Band, his first thought was to send a fleet to destroy them. If Sosh hadn’t made sense and moved with affection, I’m afraid now the orbit of Gages is already full. Wreckage.

The war that occurred in the Maelstrom has been spread to all sides. After all, this is the largest Astar collective rebellion since the Horus Rebellion. Only the one like Soshyan has been floating in the subspace and taking over the war. The people in the regiment didn't know anything about this incident.

Of course, when he first heard the general situation of the whole battle, he was also very shocked.

The character of Huron, Soshyang, was heard when he was a fighter. As the protector of the Maelstrom, his merits are beyond doubt.

But such a hero turned out to betray the empire and became an abominable traitor.

Putting aside the complicated political factors, it is obviously a huge blow to Astarte's reputation. Therefore, the world may look at the existence of Astarte with suspicion.

However, Soshyan also realized that this rebellion had its particularities. The apostasy was not out of opposition to the emperor or chaotic pollution, but more out of confrontation with the imperial bureaucracy.

The underlying reason is the backlash caused by the continuous erosion of the independence of Astarte by the High Lords Council of Terra.

For example, the seemingly reasonable Eleventh Tax has become a heavy burden for most battle groups after a long time. The Astarte battle group itself has been active in high-intensity conflict areas for a long time, and it is extremely prone to huge casualties. However, the Eleventh Tax does not take into account the actual loss of personnel. It has deviated from its original intention and turned into a tool for simply coercing the battle group.

What's more terrible is that, in principle, the eleven taxes paid can be supplemented when the battle group encounters serious casualties.

However, the slow bureaucracy of the empire made this possibility extremely slim, which means that the eleven taxes have been completely "swallowed".

Then they stayed in the seed vault of Mars for thousands of years, even if the old battle group had died out.

Astral Knight is the best example.

The eleven taxes they have paid over the years add up to thousands, but after the battle group is severely traumatized, don't even expect to get one from Mars. The high lords would rather directly form a new battle group.

A more controlled battle group.

The Astartes are not without opinion on this, but the emperor has passed away and the original body is not there. The Astartes have lost their say in the highest authority of the empire. When the bureaucrats of the empire took out a lot of rules to restrain them www.ltnovel.com~ Even when they took out the law to try them, they couldn't find any institution that could argue for them.

Only those start-up groups can resist the invasion of imperial institutions with their own prestige, but they are also limited to self-protection.

This is also one of the reasons Soshyan can resonate with the weepers.

He has never expressed dissatisfaction with the empire, but it does not mean that he has forgotten all that the Council of Tyra High Lords did after the demise of the warband.

"We have shed enough blood."

Soshyang raised his hand, first turned to Lord Magyar, and then turned to Malakin.

"I heard that Greenskins will fight with their own people first when they are bored. Have we stayed with Greenskins for a long time and become a bit like them?"

"of course not."

Mazar shrugged and put the sickle on his shoulders, while Malakin released his sword, but his expression did not relax.

"If you just want to see our jokes, then you are already satisfied."

With that said, Malakin turned around and left.

But Soshyang held his shoulders.

"We have no intention of this."

Malakin did not stop, but did not look back.

"We are just passing by, but we have to go to other star regions for a redemption expedition. I take your magnanimity, Commander Soshyan."

"The purpose of the expedition is to fight the enemy of the emperor, and here is the same for you."

"We have less than three hundred people, and we can't help you much."

"Then, Captain Malakin, would you like to take a look at my flagship? After reading it, it may not be too late for you to decide."

Malakin thought for a while, and finally turned around.

"Well, for your kindness, Commander Soshyan, I would like to visit you."
