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

Chapter 325 This is tens of kilobytes?!
Does this guy in front of me still remain loyal to the Empire?

When this question arises in your mind.

That means the other party is no longer loyal.

Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.

Otherwise, most people would never know the name Horus.

It should be noted that this name, and all records about him, have been erased from the Empire.

Where do ordinary people get this information from?

"Horus? Which Horus?"

"Which Horus could it be, my lord, the war marshal of the empire!"

It seems that something influenced their thinking, causing them to generate memories related to Horus. After a lord asked which Horus the person reporting was, the person who reported did so without hesitation.

These memories even contained fragments of information related to Horus.

"boom!"

The judge in the courtroom instantly raised his pistol and blew the head off the person in front of him.

The lord beside him was immediately stunned.

ah? no?

What did he say?

The judge, on the other hand, wore a cautious expression.

The Empire's War General?
You're a guy with tens of thousands of followers?
Are you earning 40K?

If it were 40K, how could they possibly know Horus, let alone know that he was the Warmaster of the Empire?
Therefore, he is either a spy sent by Chaos or a henchman of Treachery.
Whichever one it is.

These secrets they shouldn't know should have been erased, yet they've appeared before them.

That can only mean one thing: the other party definitely has a problem.

Your Honor

"Don't let anyone spread the news before I get back!"

The judge put the pistol back in his pocket, and the shapeshifter beside him instantly changed his current form, following closely behind the judge.

He wanted to see who was spreading rumors and causing trouble on the battlefield, and he wanted to see what was really going on there.

On the battlefield.

A vast amount of chaos, like a stray dog.

The Chaos Warriors who followed the Black Legion raiders ended up as stray dogs in the eyes of everyone on the battlefield. Countless Chaos Warriors were frantically retreating from the battlefield, while the Black Raiders who should have stood behind them turned their knives and chainsaws on them instead.

The powerful technology of the Dark Mechanical Church, bearing the mark of chaos and imbued with chaotic sorcery, should have been used to demonstrate their strength on their enemies. However, these weapons of war were instead displayed on them, leaving the forces of chaos in shock.

News of Horus of Chaos soon emerged from behind those Black Legion raiders.

Those Black Raiders who remained loyal to Abaddon relayed the message to Chaos Warmaster Abaddon as quickly as possible.

On the battleship.

A dark mechanical cult of the Black Legion is summoning machine spirits affected by twisted chaos magic. In places suppressed by chaos runes, machine spirits that once served other worlds are now slaves in their hands.

"Contact the Chaos War General and tell him that we're in trouble."

"Horus is back!"

A chaotic black raider's cold voice echoed in the room.

The tremors sent shivers through the entire fleet's cabins.

Horus has returned.

Are you kidding me?!

Although not everyone knows about Horus, if the news gets back to Abaddon, the entire Chaos Raiders will likely split into two factions instantly.

Among the Black Raiders who fell into chaos along with Abaddon, not all of them acknowledged Abaddon's deeds. Some of them, even now, still only acknowledge Horus, the true Warmaster of the Empire, and they always consider themselves loyal to Horus.

Even though most of the Black Raiders' veterans have already been lost, the decisions made by the remaining one or two percent will still influence Abaddon's decisions regarding future battles.

and.

Abaddon, after all, was merely a replacement for Horus.

Although he believed himself to be superior to Horus, more suited to lead the Chaos soldiers, and more suited to be the Chaos Warmaster.

But he could also imagine what would happen if the news leaked out.

What kind of thoughts do those who are loyal to Horus have?

Unthinkable.

However, this is also a good thing.

The appearance of Horus is a war for the Dark Angels Chapter in the Empire to restore their reputation.

After all, following the War of Randan, the Dark Angels Chapter had completely lost its position as the First Legion, handing it over to Horus's Shadowmoon Wolves Legion.

Then, during Horus's rebellion, the Dark Angels Chapter continuously proved with their lives that they deserved the throne of the Empire's First Legion, and these Dark Angels, known as the Inner Ring Supermen, launched a devastating attack on Horus.

The appearance of Horus had both advantages and disadvantages.

The Empire may not necessarily recognize Horus, and may even launch an expedition against Horus.

Therefore, the first thing the people here do upon receiving the news is to inform Abaddon of Horus's return. The sooner the news reaches Abaddon, the faster it will play its role and allow the Chaos Warmaster to make a decision.

A message, transmitted at incredible speed through the chaos magic of the warp, reached the Black Raider Legion, which was resting in the Great Rift.

The Black Raiders are gearing up and ready to join Abaddon's campaign. Meanwhile, Abaddon is also busily preparing for war against the Gamma world.

Vashtor had urged him to launch an attack countless times.

They even provided him with countless pieces of equipment, enabling him to launch an attack on the Gamma World, demonstrating their absolute sincerity.

But Abaddon patiently waited for his opportunity, even though this waiting had completely exhausted Vashtor's patience. Abaddon still made Vashtor continue to wait.

"Commander! News has arrived from the front."

Abaddon has been somewhat restless lately.

Ever since he felt that tremor in his blood last time, he felt that something was seriously wrong.

The sudden report from the front lines heightened his already tense emotions once again.

Another report has arrived. What happened?

"tell me!"

A brief, secret message was relayed to us through a Chaos Wizard.

Horus

Abaddon's expression didn't change much when he heard what had just been said.

However, when he heard the other person mention Horus.

Abaddon's expression froze instantly.

The thing he feared finally happened.

Horus returns.

Over the past tens of thousands of years.

He led his brothers in the Black Legion, who were now completely unable to return to the Empire and had no choice but to go down a dark path, to reunite them with a new goal, a goal that would rekindle their sense of honor: to use the hatred they had to launch another great expedition against the Empire.

And in these thirteen Black Expeditions.

He finally accomplished his mission, giving his brothers in the Black Legion a reason to dedicate their lives to fighting for it.

however.

As time went on, more and more of the Black Legion brothers began to question his decisions and his policies.

But he has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

These brothers can't turn back now, and neither can he.

If at this moment, I were to tell all the brothers of the Black Legion that they were all wrong, that the whole life they had fought for was a joke.

How ridiculous they are to the warriors who fight for it and who regard it as the guiding principle of their lives.

So when Abaddon heard that Horus had returned...

My first reaction wasn't fear, but anger.

"Horus, you shouldn't have come back."

"You led us into hell, and now, after we've finally become part of hell, you appear, standing above us in heaven, commanding us and mocking us!"

You are not great!

"Horus!"

Abaddon felt a surge of anger. In his view, anyone could return, but Horus was the only one who could not. His return would mean nothing to them, and would only mock and ridicule their current situation.

The news of Horus's return will probably spread very soon.

Although he did not know how Horus returned.

However, Horus's return will inevitably shake up the entire galaxy.

Those who originally followed Horus would likely immediately turn their backs and follow Horus.

Will those Primarchs who originally followed Chaos choose a new side and rejoin Horus's ranks?

As for humanity's attitude towards Horus, and the Primarchs' attitude towards Horus.

All of these will affect the future course of the war.

Abaddon knows those chapters all too well.

The hatred brought about by those warbands over thousands of years cannot be erased with just a few words.

The distrust between the chapters of the Empires has reached its peak; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many dogfights between chapters instigated by Chaos.

What really caught Abaddon's attention was...

He needs to have complete control of the Black Legion.

He can't keep building up his strength any longer.

He wants to change the current situation.

Abbas!

One of Abaddon's most trusted subordinates, in fact, in the other's eyes, Abaddon trusted him immensely, but this trust was only what he himself perceived as trust.

"Warmaster!"

"Tell Reinster that I have some things I need them to do!"

Reinster was the most loyal part of the Black Legion to Abaddon, and now he had to painfully eliminate these restless members.

"Horus, this is your fault."
