Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 326 Vashto II: Hey, how about we do this?
"Lord Reinster! The forces of the Chaos Slaanesh have appeared on the planet Calster. They have reclaimed our territory. Lord Abaddon, we need you to take them back."

"Those guys from Slaanesh's sons?"

Reinster sneered, mocking Forgrim, the former son of an emperor, who was now Slaanesh's most loyal servant. The once perfectionist could only hypnotize himself with twisted illusions, proclaiming that he had done nothing wrong.

"I see."

These veterans were men who existed since the time of Horus. Over the years, Abaddon's management of them was not strict. To be precise, Abaddon could only conscript them, not directly command them. Under Abaddon's organization, they acted together for a common goal.

However, this goal will inevitably be fractured with the appearance of Horus.

These veterans will become unstable assets.

For Abaddon, he had indeed found a new direction for those veterans who could not turn back.

But now Abaddon has more to consider.

They either have to abandon all the veterans, or they have to abandon all the cards they currently hold.

He made a decision.

In order to ensure that these veterans could complete their mission 'successfully'.

Abaddon even prepared an Ark of Doom for them, a planetary-level ark of destruction built by the Dark Mechanicus.

The veterans had no questions about this. Even at this moment, when they were suddenly gathered together, they only regarded this mission as one of hundreds or thousands of missions. The missions they carried out were indeed only capable of being carried out by them, because they still enjoyed Abaddon's deep trust. Some missions could only be completed by them.

With the departure of this warship.

Vashtor also learned about what had happened in the world of Cardiwen.

The Ark of Doom, which the Dark Mechanical Church had helped build, was actually his eyes and ears. He would see everything that the Ark of Doom could observe. He helped Abaddon build his army, and at the same time, he wanted to broaden his vision and gain a better understanding of the entire universe.

"Abaddon? Wasn't that guy dead?"

"Could it not be Abaddon from this world?"

Vashtor attempted to incite Abaddon to attack the Gamma World in order to seize the Web Key to the Gamma World and help him become the fifth evil god in the warp.

But Abaddon has been saying to wait patiently, and he hasn't made a move yet.

"Now that Horus is here, will this guy turn against us?"

Vashtor didn't want his investment to turn into a joke.

Fortunately, Abaddon's reaction was not actually as he had imagined.

When the other side arranged for those Black Legion veterans to enter the Ark of Calamity, he already knew Abaddon's choice.

He knew the world of Karst; it was a dangerous world, as dangerous as the Empire's meat farms.

The beasts there are extremely dangerous, almost as dangerous as the jungles of Katachon. Whether consciousness has been born on this planet is a matter of much debate, but the powerful Hell Soldiers that abound on this planet can be transformed into Chaos Creatures. The Hell Soldiers they create are far more dangerous than those Space Marines with extensive combat experience.

Some of the modified beasts are used by the chaotic forces as the vanguard for sieges and destruction. These creatures are first sent to target the places they need to destroy, and then the beasts are recaptured after the madmen have destroyed those places.

This approach is somewhat similar to that of a space necromancer.

They launched those Star God fragments onto a planet they intended to attack.

Then, once the Star Gods had nearly destroyed the planet, they sent people to capture it.

"Since Abaddon has already abandoned those Black Legions, I'll help him out!"

What Vashtor wanted to do was to ensure that Abaddon had no worries and no way back.

As long as these Black Legion veterans are present, Abaddon will have reservations about what he does. He wants to eliminate any of Abaddon's concerns about affecting the war. Since Abaddon himself can't make that decision, he will make it for him.

All the Omen Ark's functions are controlled by his chaos magic. Even if Abaddon allows those chaos wizards to control the warships through some program modifications, it would still be easy for him to take control of them.

Dealing with these veterans of the Black Legion is too easy.

"Bring my Dragon Forest Star with you."

Vashtor's scepter emitted a faint light; Dragon Forest Star was his territory and his treasure trove.

On Longlin Star, his power can be unleashed to its fullest extent.

Abaddon sent those men who were behind him out to solve a difficult problem, his aim being to prevent these old guys from interfering with his work.

After he arrived in Cardiwen and dealt with Horus,

Even if the veterans found out, it wouldn't matter, because by then, he would have already resolved the matter. Horus was already dead, so what could they do? He would tell them that Horus was not the one they imagined, but a false emperor who used Horus's body to create a fake Horus in order to deceive people.

Abaddon considered himself wiser and more rational than Horus.

Even if he accepts the power of chaos, he will only borrow it and will never rely on it as his sole source of power.

This is why Abaddon believed that he was superior to Horus in every way, and that only he could accomplish the great task that Horus could not.

Abaddon pondered these things.

He then issued his orders.

He felt at ease looking at these Black Legion raiders, whom he had carefully selected and who would never change their attitude just because the other party was Horus.

As long as Horus is destroyed.

If Horus, who should disappear, disappears, then things can get back on track.

Once things are back on track, he can continue letting Vashtor loot equipment.

He can continue to expand his army, continue to recruit soldiers, and continue to expand all his advantages.

Horus.

"I look forward to seeing you die on my power claws again."

The Pain Engines manufactured by the Dark Mechanical Church's arsenal, along with Hell Dragons—created by roasting souls and fusing humans with fighter jets—are flying towards the warship. The dense swarms of Hell Dragons could almost cover the head of a large country, obscuring it like dark clouds overhead.

There are also a large number of Bloodslayer Demon Engines and Howler Demon Engines.
There are even demonic Titans assisting them.

For Upper Horus, this was already considered a sign of respect.

If it were Horus at his peak.

He was absolutely unqualified and lacked the courage to challenge him, because Horus and the Emperor of that era could erase him even at the conceptual level.

The Horus we know today is definitely not as powerful as it was during the time it fought against the Emperor.

That gave him the opportunity.

In addition, there was the bet that Chaos placed on him.

He has confidence.

Moreover, once he destroys Horus...

The Horus that was destroyed was a counterfeit, and he would replace it.

His position, everything he did, and his past can all be explained as him being completely right and his actions being entirely just.

Only the strong have the final say.

While Abaddon was making tactical arrangements, other areas were also making continuous advances.

The appearance of Horus is a bombshell for any faction.

However, the various parties involved have not yet fully ascertained the accuracy of this information.

As a key figure in initiating the Chaos Four Gods Game within the galaxy, his return to the real universe will likely keep many forces awake at night.

Following Horus were not only the expeditionary force, but also the surrendered members of the Black Legion.

And then there was Anglon, who was about to become a civil servant, following behind him.

And the cultural soldiers behind him, who were influenced by his cultural atmosphere.

Of course, this is because Angron is vastly different from the Angron of the past.

His appearance was completely different from the ferocious and terrifying one he used to have. Instead, he had a kind of easygoing and refined air about him, so much so that no matter how familiar people were with Angron, they would be shocked when they saw him in person.

The judges of the court in Cardvin, after seeing Angron completely transformed and Horus behind him, were deeply moved.

His mind seemed to have been directly pierced by something conceptual.

This allowed him to see the biographical information of these two people at that time.

Horus, and Angron.

The Empire's former genetic prototype, and also a former traitor to the Empire.

But the former traitor now stands before them, slaughtering the chaos.

That person wasn't lying.

Horus has truly returned.

Before he could send the message back.

Those Star Speakers have already come into contact with conceptual information about the real universe for them.

During the transmission process, they even inadvertently mixed in some phone calls.

soon.

Those psionicists from the Star Language Court who received the messages from the Star Speakers emitted golden light from their seven orifices. This was a terrifying scene displayed by the Star Speakers using psionic legends, as if the psionic energy was surging from their bodies like flames.

Horus

Horus.

These star speakers made strange noises.

And it conveyed the name of a former Imperial War General.

When this prohibitive name appeared.

As a scribe recording information from the Star Speakers, when copying the information down...

The higher-ups of Xingyuting received this absolutely forbidden name.
