Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Page 427

Nurgle and Tzeentch, two forces that are usually at odds, have surprisingly chosen to cooperate in order to stop the advance of Casca.

“You can’t go on like this—perhaps Guilliman’s ending is more suitable for you.”

Magnus said.

Most people might just think this guy is trying to beat them up; but Casca has seen what that little loli Man looks like before...

Casca felt a chill run down his spine.

[Damn lolicon—you transform yourself first!]

Without giving it much thought, Casgar's flames once again targeted the wizard from Tzeentch.

"This was not my intention, my friend. I was just following orders."

"Is that what Guilliman looks like now?"

"Uh... I gave that noisy and arrogant guy a little hard time, that's all."

It's easy to say.

But Casca doesn't believe that his personal hobbies weren't involved.

The power of Chaos will always be greater than that of the human empire, but their goal, or rather, the best way for them to become stronger, is to slowly and steadily push this tragic empire toward its inevitable demise.

But that doesn't mean they can let Casca run rampant.

As a wise man, Tzeentch naturally understood the principle of mutual dependence – He did not want Nurgle to be able to monopolize Alterama.

But in his calculations, if he just stood by and watched, even Nurgle Gardens would be burned to the ground by Kaska in the future.

—Especially since the great rift he had anticipated had not yet unfolded, and for some reason, the unreliable Abaddon had postponed the planned expedition against Kadia once again—in addition, the beasts had already risen in Amegiddon, and the power from the newly formed orcish empire was constantly clearing away all obstacles in their path.

Chaos was already severely weakened ten thousand years ago. Although, on a personal level, He was quite pleased to see Nurgle's Garden burned down, if Chaos continued to fight among itself, it was very likely that this great game would slip out of His control.

"Welcome back to the 40K era."

While fending off the flames in Casca's hands, Magnus calmly said, "As a long-lost friend, I long for your return."

"Let me show you the human empire that you still cannot save despite your attempts and efforts."

Have you ever thought about why?

He paused deliberately for a moment, then shot out along with the dazzling ball of magical energy in his hand.

"All of this is the Great Game of the True Gods."

“From beginning to end, your actions have never escaped the control of the true gods.”

Although Kasgar did indeed cause the Chaos Gods to suffer great losses ten thousand years ago.

—But in any case, this is all part of the Lord of Change's plan.

Moreover, they will not repeat the same mistake. This time, they will keep a close watch on Casca and resolutely prevent him from trying to sabotage the Great Game again.

It's very simple. Just like Tzeentch helped Guilliman in the original story, all you need to do now is help Nurgle in the same way.

balance.

With just a little bit of balance, everything will develop as He intended.

"You troublemaker!"

Of course, the description uttered by Casca in anger might be more suitable for Tzeentch at this moment.

If Chaos hadn't been afraid of him, why would Nurgle and Tzeentch have joined forces to deal with him?

Magnus and his master had a clear objective—they could no longer keep Casca awake, nor could they allow the Smurfs to continue massing troops!

Whether Nurgle corrupts the five hundred worlds of Ultramar in the end, or Tzeentch twists these worlds with his power, this area must be brought under the control of Chaos!

The incident ten thousand years ago was just an accident; they could not possibly give Casgar and Guilliman another chance to revive the human empire!

"Hahahaha! My friend, I have high hopes for you!"

Seeing that the opponent was locked in a fierce battle with the Primarch, Kugas laughed and sprayed a large amount of disgusting green pus from his body to repair the burns on his body.

"Soon, we will all be reunited in His garden!"

As he spoke, he returned to the sedan chair, clutching the giant cauldron in his hands, and headed towards the distant, miasma-shrouded, withered forest with the laughing Nurgle beside him.

......

"Report on the battle situation."

Second Company Commander Cato Sicarius, while silently frowning and flipping through documents, said, "I'm just holding up a piece of Loliman's hand."

Just when Magnus and Casca were both unable to defeat each other, Sicarius, the second company commander controlled by Loriman, finally gave the order to retreat.

The soldiers on the front lines have begun to show severe symptoms of disease poisoning, and if the fighting continues, it will drag them into the territory that Nurgle is best at.

However, seeing the human empire retreat, Magnus stopped and withdrew, without pursuing the retreating human army.

"Gununu!!!"

"Damn Magnus!!!"

"My lord, you can no longer remove the crown that symbolizes my honor from my head!"

"Um?!"

"Uh... sir, please make yourself at home."

"Humph!"

The angry Loli Man ignored the other's distress and continued to vent her anger by picking at the red and white broom bristles on Sicarius's helmet.

(The image shows Cato Sicarius with his broom-head helmet.)

If she hadn't known that she had lost all her strength, she would have definitely gone forward to fight that villain for another three hundred rounds!

As for the final battle report, it was no surprise that, although both sides suffered some casualties, apart from the few Great Unclean Ones that Kasgar had killed, the Imperials of Man could not further expand their gains against Nurgle.

But this is also a kind of failure.

The stagnant filth has been corrupting everything in Pamenio: the water, the ecosystem, the surface structure, and the entire cycle have all become highly toxic due to the power of stagnant decay.

This has always been Nurgle's offensive strategy.

Although these clumsy creatures are not good at offensive warfare, they can use the power of corruption and contamination to lure the enemy into taking the initiative, and then achieve the effect of annihilating the enemy through counterattack tactics.

They had succeeded many times in previous battles.

Soon this planet will become uninhabitable for humans—they must complete the breakthrough of the enemy's positions as soon as possible.

But how easy is that?

With the Demon Primarch Magnus blocking their way, even the Emperor's power avatar struggled to break through their defenses.

—Even in this battle, Magnus fought alone, without even deploying his Thousand Sons Traitor Legion!

One Nurgle is enough to make everyone suffer, and then there's another Tzeentch...

How many more chaotic armies will they have to face in the future...?

Despair enveloped the entire war council hall in Pamenio.

“I have a plan.”

Mathieu?

A respondent who surprised the second company commander.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

As the representative of the priests of the Imperial Church, he stood up and replied, "I received instructions from the Emperor's messenger and had a conversation with the Emperor's incarnation."

"How did he say?"

"He has a plan."

Mathieu's furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled.

He also said that he needed something, an artifact, to completely purify Nurgle from the corruption in this world, and indeed in all of the human world.

"【The Blood Bell of Cardia】, a bell that rings when Cardia faces mortal danger, stored in Laurentix of the Belis Crown System."

"He promised that he would never trade this clock for the aliens."

Chapter 260 This is the taste!

The Blood Bell of Cadia

A sacred bell forged from blood.

From Saint Gustav—the holy warrior, the beloved patron saint of the Cadia soldiers—when he fell while guarding the gates of Cadia, his followers collected his blood in a crystal reliquary.

In the holy world named after him, this revered and lucrative relic was preserved as a sacred object by the local imperial church for centuries.

One night, the winged Blessed Gestal appeared before the Cardinal and told him that he had to extract the iron from the solidified relics and cast it into a bell.

A bell that rings when Kadia faces mortal danger.

The cardinal forged the relic as instructed, and then carried the bell through the Gates of Cadia, purifying world after world with its sacred vibrations.

However, this sacred bell also has a unique function—it can predict the calamities that will befall the human world, especially the Gate of Cadia.

Not long ago, when this sacred bell toured this area, the crowds burst into ecstatic weeping—the bell rang twelve times without being touched by anyone.

That was when the Black Legion descended, and the surprise attack marked the beginning of the twelfth Black Crusade.

The defenders swore to protect this sacred relic with their lives, and they kept their oath.

Even though his chest cavity exploded and his limbs were broken by the traitor's explosives.

In the end, their own blood splattered onto the blood-cast iron. The blood flowed down the carved surface, forming a congealed stream that turned the decorative swirling patterns and hymns into a bloodstained channel, which remains to this day.

It has encountered another unexpected fate.

"According to the secret order, we need to use this artifact to help us deal with the increasingly ferocious Nurgle threat in the Extreme Starfield."

The Ultramarines, who are several sizes taller than the average Space Marine (and are accompanied by a squad of Grey Knights), are carrying a decree from Archsage Caul, Captain Sicarius, and the Cardinal of the Ottaramar Diocese of the Imperial Church, and are seeking this glorious relic in the Holy Land.

They were the first Ultramarines Proto-Forged Space Marines that Caul had modified to support the Plague Wars.

With the endorsement of the "Emperor's Avatar" and the demands of Loli Man, who was lying on the Second Company Commander's body, the first batch of Ultramarines are undergoing mass genetic modification in Kaul's experiments.

Their first mission before heading to the front lines was to retrieve the sacred relic, the Crimson Bell of Kadia, from the holy land of Saint Gestair.

—As for the cardinal's edict, it was even more bizarre: he claimed that in the face of the rampaging Nurgle demons, the Emperor himself descended, incarnating as a little girl, and using the body of a loyal Space Marine to engage in a fierce battle with the evil demons...

Unfortunately, the battle is currently at a stalemate—only the Blood Bell from Cadia can help them break the deadlock.

If the other party's token hadn't been genuine, the Holy Land bishop would have seriously suspected that this guy had fabricated such an outrageous story in order to swindle the holy relic.

when!

It rang again.

Just as the local bishop agreed to their request and led them into the church, the holy bell struck thirteen times again right before their eyes.

Click.

The entire temple hall shook violently once again as the bells rang.

Judging from the peeling and damage to the temple's outer shell, this kind of large-scale tremor seems to be more than the first time.

Bang!

As another fragment of the relief struck the force field shield protecting the relic's static force field, the vibrations of the sacred bell finally ceased.

"Gentlemen, let's quickly take this sacred bell and leave."

On the face of the bishop of that holy site, the former commander of the Forged War Corps, who was in charge of escorting the sacred relics, could be seen a look of relief.

We've managed to send this sacred bell out!

Keep banging and keep banging!

Logically, things in a static force field should remain stationary, but the sound of this blood bell is unaffected by it.

The bell's predictions were usually extremely accurate, but this time, the thirteenth chime came after countless attempts.

"Is that so...?"

“Listen—it sounds like there’s a faint echo in this sacred bell.”
