The strongest astral army in Warhammer 40K

The Star Guardians sat at a huge long table, which was laden with all kinds of fruits, roasted meats, and other delicious foods.

These country bumpkins from the Starbound Army had never seen anything like this before, and they began to wolf it down.

While gnawing on a leg of lamb, Kayans stammered, "I wasn't really willing to come, but now it seems really good."

Unlike them, Russell was leisurely sipping his red wine.

"What is the background of this young master Wayne?" Russell asked curiously.

"It's a long story, but in short, the Wayne family has been of great help to the Empire. If we were just ordinary minor nobles, the Ministry of Military Affairs wouldn't have sent us here."

"If it's a family, why is he the only one, and he's just a child?"

"His uncle and father were assassinated, and now he is the only remaining member of the Wayne family."

"How long are we going to be here?"

"At most two months. The Imperial Ministry of Justice has already started to investigate this matter. Once the truth comes out and the mastermind is found, we can leave."

Russell felt that these two months were bound to be tough.

…………

In a pitch-black room.

Several people are talking.

"What should we do now? The Astral Army is here!"

"It must be the Star Guardians that old bastard hired."

“I saw these Star Guardians. The most special one was a ‘giant’ who also had a power axe. I think this giant must be very powerful, and we can’t possibly deal with him.”

"Even if we can handle them, we can't act rashly. If we deal with these Star Guardians, it will be like a rebellion, and the Empire won't let us off the hook then."

"With the protection of these Star Guardians, we can no longer use Young Master Wayne to blackmail those big spenders. This means we can't continue with our plans?"

"So what should we do next? Sir, say something!"

"On the surface, we can't deal with these Astronauts, but don't forget that this is Hive City. There are countless outlaws willing to help us with this."

"But how can we guarantee that those outlaws won't betray us? You know, the Empire's Ministry of Justice is very powerful."

"In that case, we can find some civilian assassin organizations to do this. These people are all suicide agents, and as long as the price is right, they will never betray us."

"It seems that this is the only way. Then please make the arrangements, sir."

"Hehe, I've already made arrangements. This time, I've decided to wipe out all the Star Guardians and kidnap 'Young Master Wayne.' That way, those capitalists will keep supplying us with resources, and our plan will be completed on schedule."

"We'd better hurry, the lords are already furious, and once they get angry, none of us will survive."

“Alright, it’s settled then. I will send assassins to kill the Star Guardians in three days and then kidnap Young Master Wayne.”

…………

Since the tactical armor was really unsuitable, Russell took it off and put on a yellow military camouflage uniform, which was loose and fit Russell perfectly.

"May I see your weapons?" Young Master Wayne asked Russell curiously.

Russell shook his head and said, "Young Master Wayne, they are dangerous, not toys."

Wayne nodded and said, "When I grow up, I want to be a member of the Star Guardians too."

Russell frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Wayne, being a member of the Astral Army is not a good profession. Someone as smart as you should be doing something else. This dangerous profession of the Astral Army is not suitable for you."

Just as Russell and Young Master Wayne were chatting, Cayenne walked in from outside.

Russell looked up at him and saw that Cayans's expression was very serious.

"Is there something you need?" Russell asked.

Kayan nodded and said: Let's go outside and talk.

Russell stood up and walked out with Cayans.

"These past few days I've noticed some mysterious people frequently appearing around the building," Kayans said with slight concern.

"You suspect these people killed Young Master Wayne?"

"It's hard to say, but these people must have a purpose in appearing so frequently."

"What should we do next?"

"There's nothing we can do except protect Master Wayne."

"What are your plans for the future?"

"I divided the team into three groups, with each group taking turns on 8-hour shifts day and night. You and I will have to work a bit harder."

Russell smiled and said: It's nothing.

“You must be especially alert at night. I’ll relieve you during the day so you can rest,” Kayans instructed Russell.

Russell nodded seriously and said: I will protect Master Wayne well.

Kayans left after he finished speaking.

Russell pondered for a moment and said: It seems that more killing is about to begin.

He already had a premonition that those mysterious people must be some kind of force, and their target was likely young master Wayne. If they wanted to get young master Wayne, they would probably have to get past them. The commandos would be in great danger from now on.

When they returned to Lord Wayne's side, Lord Wayne asked: What happened?

Russell shook his head and said: It's nothing.

…………

The night was completely silent.

There was no one on the street.

Five fully armed commandos guarded the front entrance of Wayne Tower.

Suddenly, several dark figures rushed towards them from a distance.

"Who goes there? Stand still!" a Cardia commando roared.

But his roar had no effect; the shadowy figure continued to charge at them.

"Fire!" the captain roared.

The assault team immediately opened fire on the shadowy figures, firing lasers continuously. However, the figures moved with unpredictable speed, dodging the shots by dashing left and right.

The Shadow Warrior is the most expensive assassin in the world.

Three "shadow warriors" rushed forward, each dressed in black and wielding two short swords, the bright swords gleaming coldly in the darkness.

"Lord Kayans, there's a killer..." Before the squad leader could finish speaking, the short sword had already slit his throat, and blood gushed out continuously, turning his words into gurgling sounds.

Kayans, who was in the command room, quickly became alert and said: "All squads assemble, an assassin is coming."

"Russell, Russell, be careful, assassins are coming!" Kayans' anxious voice came through the communicator.

Russell immediately became alert and said to his servant: Quickly move Master Wayne to the safe house.

Several servants began to frantically move the sleeping young master Wayne.

Once everyone else was out of the house, Russell wore a cruel smile; it was time to unleash his killing spree.

To avoid revealing himself, he first found something to cover his power axe and turned off all the lights, plunging the room into darkness.
