Chapter 178 War Commander! The ship to the Interles Federation is ready!
......
That was countless years ago, when humanity was still in a primitive and ignorant age.
After humans scattered across the world in search of prey, they made a great leap forward.
For the first time, their slash-and-burn agriculture yielded a surplus.
Not only is it more than enough to feed everyone in the tribe, but if they continue to plant in the same way in the future, they will never have to worry about food again!
Just as when they first discovered the existence of fire, humans excitedly scooped up the surplus grain.
This is a wide river valley area, with everything you need, from water sources to fertile soil that can grow large-grained food.
In the future, they will live a peaceful life forever, no longer needing to worry about not having enough to eat.
The inhabitants of the tribe began to cheer.
From then on, humans could live carefree and without worry, and they would have nothing to worry about!
They will never feel hungry again!
......
But things are not as simple as everyone imagines.
Just as they were about to obtain eternal sustenance, one of the tribe members stabbed another with a sharpened stone.
murder.
It wasn't for reasons to survive, but simply for personal gain; the selfish desire to possess everything drove him to wield crude fishing and hunting tools against his fellow countrymen.
The ultimate victor enjoyed it all, from the fertile soil of the valley to the surplus grain that no one in the tribe dared to compete with him for.
All material possessions belong to the victors in human hunting.
After becoming the king of beasts, humans turned to hunting each other for the first time.
Thus, the human demon [Draconion] came into being.
......
This is not the first time it has happened, nor will it be the last; rather, it is a recurring cycle of countless similar tragedies.
Everything in the future will forever be subject to the disputes and suspicions over excess "realistic sustenance," and the faith and belief in a greater "spiritual sustenance."
Perhaps it was out of fear that the other party would strike first, or perhaps it was because they were confident that they could destroy the other party.
Since then, humanity has never been free from endless conflict.
From the ancient Stone Age to the moment when mankind set foot among the stars of the Milky Way.
Stones, bronze, iron spears, crossbows, muskets, cannons, machine guns, ice axes, nuclear bombs, and whirlwind torpedoes.
Even when people know that there is no right or wrong between them, they will still try every possible means to ensure the destruction of the other party, rather than their own.
The struggle that arises from this will never end from the moment humanity finally perishes.
【Draconion】, the demonic sword that could swear the end of humanity.
It is both the ancient echo of the first murder and the harbinger of humanity's self-destruction.
Only the future Great Guardian, the Hundred-Victorious General, the Great Imperial Warmaster Ezekiel Abaddon, can restrain its power at the cost of his own life as the seal.
As for now...
Humanity will continue to shed blood across the countryside in their struggles.
......
Clang!
A violent tremor, accompanied by a noticeable shaking, occurred in all the cabins of the Emperor's Pride.
The scenes that kept appearing and disappearing in Kaska's mind, so real that they were like a lucid dream, completely vanished at this moment, turning into the golden cabin inside the Emperor's Pride.
"It's finally over..."
Emerging from the perspective of those frenzied primitives engaged in battle, Casgar felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Warp warp is always unpleasant, especially after you've done it many times.
In Kasgar's perception, the illusions gradually become more and more real, even similar to Koz's situation, as if he himself has no way to dispel them.
—Or perhaps it's because he simply hasn't had enough rest these past few days.
After Fugrim became the Warmaster, Kasgar, after a considerable period of contemplation, began to eliminate all the potential pitfalls that the Warmaster might encounter in the future.
First, all the chaotic influences must be expelled!
To avoid the impending major rebellion, we must first eliminate as many possible chaotic influences as possible.
This operation was Casca's first objective—
The Federation of Kings, Interles.
This is a human federation with almost the best government in the Warhammer universe—its inhabitants not only know of the existence of Chaos, but also unanimously choose to stand up against it.
They united as one, working together to fight against the invasion of the chaotic forces.
This is far superior to that big, golden guy who only knew how to hide his encounter with a warp demon, which ultimately led to everything exploding.
After the initial contact, the Human Empire is about to establish relations with the Federation of Kings, and the other side is not in a completely delusional state.
If a formal diplomatic alliance had been established, and with sufficient knowledge of the warp, neither Horus nor Abaddon would have fallen into the trap of Chaos and sent the comatose Warmaster to some unknown temple of Devon for even more unknown treatment.
Unfortunately, all that is good will not happen.
Just as the two sides were about to establish formal diplomatic relations, a person named Eribas was born and stole the Chaos Artifact [Nemesis Blade], which was under strict guard by the Interles Federation.
After discovering the theft of the artifact, the Interles Federation believed that the human empire had been corrupted by chaos and decided to engage in a decisive battle with Horus, who had become a warmaster.
Under the overwhelming firepower of the War General and the crushing combat strength of Astartes, Interles quickly entered the abyss of destruction.
Old Huang, look at the soldiers you've led!
As for the stolen Chaos Artifact, the Nemesis Blade, which was later used by Governor Dai Wenxing to stab the War General, it played a decisive role in the outbreak of the Great Rebellion.
Horus getting stabbed doesn't seem to have much of an impact, since he's already started wearing the Centaur Gold Ring all the time.
The problem is that the current Imperial Warmaster is Fugrim.
This is why, several years earlier in the original timeline, when the title of Warmaster ultimately fell to Fugrim, Kasgar had been commissioning Yrel, the leader of the Eldar pirate fleet, to travel throughout the universe to investigate the [Interles Federation], also known as the Federation of Kings.
Kasgar must seize the Nemesis Blade before everyone else, so that these two Chaos artifacts that can threaten Warmaster Fugrim's personal safety can be completely destroyed!
Kasgar will not allow even the slightest deviation from that future where chaos has been eliminated.
He must purify this dagger to determine its ultimate fate.
(The other item is a stabbing sword)
As for now, I'm feeling the shockwave from just traversing the warp in subspace...
Clearly, they have arrived in this mysterious Interles Federation.
......
The Road to Triumph.
Walking along this path, the painting of the Emperor's Crown, depicting the coronation of the Emperor, is located on the left side of the Triumph Road, on the far right of the Imperial Sons' Legion's monuments of glory, signifying the latest honor the Emperor's Sons have achieved on the Triumph Road.
However, even after nearly two hundred years of fighting in the Great Expedition, these symbols of honor did not even account for one-tenth of the entire road to victory.
Many more places await Fugrim, the Warmaster, to conquer, and many more worlds will be saved by the Emperor's Son.
As the Great Expedition unfolds, everyone is filled with boundless hope for the future.
Even Casca.
He walked onto the main bridge located at the bow of the Imperial Pride.
"Helmsman, Navigator, report on our current situation."
After sorting through his thoughts, Casca shouted as he awoke from a hazy dream.
After becoming Warmaster, Fugrim had an exceptionally large number of Imperial affairs to handle, so it was Kasgar who decided to take over the responsibilities of the Legion's affairs so that she could have more time and energy to rest.
"Yes, a slight tremor occurred during the completion of the subspace warp. Currently, several ships in the fleet have sustained minor damage, and about a dozen crew members are experiencing severe hallucinations and subspace hallucinations."
This is an unavoidable situation in subspace travel—no matter how smooth the journey is, or how turbulent the subspace storms the navigator's skills may have evaded...
However, when it eventually escapes subspace, some degree of erosion will inevitably occur.
Perhaps the Primarch and Astartes themselves have a certain amount of warp power, so there's not too much to worry about, but the mortal crew members are in a much worse situation.
This spiritual and spiritual invasion and fusion with the warp was so powerful that even Kasgar could not restore it to its original state.
We can only hope that old man Huang, who's holed up at home fixing the internet, will hurry up.
"Treat them the same way. Take those crew members to the pharmacist for treatment, and—"
Before Casca could even finish his question, the alarms on the entire Imperial Pride suddenly went off.
"Behind us! Something is following us as we warp out of the warp."
The Imperial Fleet, positioned ahead of Mandeville, was on high alert: what could be warping through the warp without any prior notice?!
"All crew members of the 28th Expeditionary Fleet, please be on alert."
"Prepare for battle!"
As the alarms blared across the ships of the expeditionary fleet, their cannons were turned to point at the still-open breach behind them.
Appeared!
Something is coming out of it!
That is......
"Bro, I'm out!"
Kasgar heard the other party's excited psionic communication through his ear.
As if showing off his psionic power, he sent a psionic communication to his own prepared self while still unstable during the warp.
It was a crimson Queen Glorious-class battleship adorned with scarab beetle patterns.
【Radiant Light】
Casca: "......"
Judging from the level of their psionic energy usage, it's clear who's been secretly following them.
......
Why are you following me, Magnus, whom I absolutely must keep?
Casca had wanted to ask that question all along.
To be even more direct, order the expeditionary fleet to open fire immediately.
"Your Excellency Crimson King, why do you choose to follow our flagship and join our Great Expedition?"
However, his good manners prevented him from directly criticizing Magnus.
Magnus!
We need to quickly find a way to get rid of this guy.
The key point here is that we absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of such people who are more trouble than they are worth!
We are currently at a crucial moment in diplomatic negotiations with the Interles Federation, and Casca is genuinely worried about letting this guy go along.
Because the Thousand Sons Legion had difficulty expanding its numbers, Magnus's tasks on the expedition were not heavy.
As a backup toilet plunger for the Golden Throne, the Emperor practically condoned Magnus's slacking off.
He's just a street urchin.
The fact that this legion, which spends its days searching for new knowledge throughout the galaxy, followed them to the Interles system without a word suggests that their purpose may be far more complex than Casca imagined.
"I am at..."
How did Magnus catch up?
It's actually quite simple.
