Chapter 276 Eribas: Watch Me Strategize

"Chagatai appeared in the lost city of the Netway?"

"They even threw away that jet motorcycle with the AE86 engine!!"

"He rescued them, but refused to return to the Empire, claiming he had other things to attend to? Is he perhaps looking for a mother for the White Scars?"

Upon seeing the reports from the younger players, Qin Yun's forehead creased with a series of black lines, and his face showed a helpless expression.

In crucial moments, you can always trust the integrity of these players.

But in their daily lives, they really don't have any sense of propriety.

It's just a report to be submitted, yet it's packed with so many jokes.

How about we add a crosstalk (xiangsheng) supporting role competition in the next update?!
However, the AE86 meme is indeed quite fitting for Chagatai.

Of all the emperor's sons, this guy was the one who cared most about speed.
He transformed the Glory Queen-class warship given to him by the Emperor into a high-speed warship, discarding a large amount of equipment in order to push the speed to the limit.

My favorite tactic is to hunt down enemies using speed.

On the battlefield, they even rode jet motorcycles, forming ranks to launch attacks on the enemy.
They've brought feudal-era cavalry tactics to the interstellar battlefield.

During the Battle of Terra, Chagatai and his White Scar Legion repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the traitor by taking advantage of their speed.

During the most difficult part of the siege, Chagatai led his men in a surprise attack on the Death Guard, exiling the evil Mortarion and relieving the pressure on the defenders.

That wicked Mortarion is always thinking about spreading plague in Terra, causing flies to swarm everywhere.

Like Dorne and Sangilius, Chagatai experienced the entire Battle of Terra.

However, he was unable to participate in the battle of the Soul of Vengeance.
Because he was dead, his soul was shattered.
The emperor went to great lengths to sew his soul back together.
At the time of the decisive battle, Chagatai was still recovering from a coma and was unable to participate in the battle.

When I woke up, everything had settled down.

Saint Gilles died, Horus died, and the emperor was half-dead.

Following the Horus Rebellion, Chagatai launched an expedition to rescue the Imperial warriors captured by the Dark Eldar.

During one battle, while pursuing the Dark Eldar, he charged into the Web Path and never appeared before the world again.

Because previous humans lacked the ability to explore the net path, there was no news of Chagatai.

Now, the Empire has launched a network repair and exploration project. As more people travel through the network, news from Chagatai will emerge.

"Inform the other Primarchs of this message."

"By the way, tell the person with the white scar that I'm sure they'll send someone over."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yun immediately made a decision.

"Yes, Master, I will carry it out immediately." Xiling nodded and went to carry out Qin Yun's order as soon as possible.

"In addition, the adventurers also discovered the Void Crystal left behind by the Ancient Saints."

Xiling opened a data projection, in which a crystal emitting a peculiar radiance slowly floated.

Various detailed data are displayed on the side.

"Void Crystal?" Qin Yun examined the data carefully, a look of surprise on his face.
This crystal contains a unique primordial energy that can reshape reality and the subspace.

In other words, if humanity were to gain large-scale control over this energy source, it could reshape the entire galaxy, thereby completely altering the landscape of warfare.

"Based on the analysis results, the power of nothingness may be the basic energy that constitutes the universe. The ancient sages may have wanted to use it to reshape the galaxy, thereby weakening the power of the star gods."

Xiling analyzed the situation calmly, as if she were not a star god.

"This conjecture is very convincing. After all, in the later stages of the War of Heaven, the Ancient Ones were in trouble. The fierce attacks of the Star Gods and the disorder of the Warp left them beset by internal and external troubles."

Qin Yun nodded, agreeing with Xi Ling's words.

"Should we start researching this new energy source?" Xiling asked.

"Of course." Qin Yun nodded. "The ancient sages were definitely researching this with the intention of using it as a weapon. We also urgently need a weapon to deal with the Chaos Gods."

"If we can figure this out, we might be able to use it to deal with the subspace and reshape the galaxy."

"Then I will include the Void Crystal in my key scientific research projects."

Xiling added Qin Yun's words to her to-do list, and then opened a data projection.

"Master, this is the list of players for the thirteenth batch of closed beta testers. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, I will distribute the closed beta test slots according to this list."

Qin Yun glanced at it.

ID: Sigismund

ID: Please call me the Loyal Shadowmoon Wolf
ID: Flame Legion reporting for duty

ID: Long live Taviz
ID: Emperor! Loyal Orange!!
…………

Good heavens, the eighth batch of players were all chosen by Khorne, and the thirteenth batch were all the Emperor's minions!!

"Was this list randomly selected?" Qin Yun asked.

Xiling nodded. "There is a special random algorithm. The longer the queue, the greater the weight. These people have been queuing for a long time."

"Is there a problem? Should we re-screen them?"

Qin Yun shook his head. "Never mind, let's leave it at that."

He didn't change it during the eighth batch.
Now, it's Old Huang's special. If we change it, wouldn't we be getting smacked by Old Huang's crickets?

So be it.

"By the way, how's the expansion of the Colonus region going?" Qin Yun asked.

"Many player teams have already gone there, but no one knows who found out that Irebas is also in the Kronus expansion area, so players have started a search for Irebas."

Xiling opened another data interface, which displayed messages from players in the regional chat channel.

Teams of players are entering the Chronus Expansion in search of the most despicable man in the Warhammer universe.

"I can give up my merits, but Irebas must die."

"Capture Iribus alive at all costs."

"If Iribus doesn't die, we'll sacrifice the operations team to the heavens."

"........."

"By the way, here's a mission: anyone who captures Iribas alive will receive a hefty reward."

Seeing this information, Qin Yun decided to add fuel to the fire and have the players completely eliminate Irebas.

Now that we're here, we absolutely can't let this opportunity pass us by.

This guy is rotten to the core.
He was the most troublesome one in the Battle of Terra.

Kill the Primarch Mother, kill Loken, kill Aggle Thal, kill Narek, ...

He was the greatest culprit in the Horus Rebellion.

Unfortunately, this thing can really run fast.
Even after the siege of Terra was over, this guy ran away and has been alive ever since.

"Yes, Master, Xiling will issue the mission immediately."

"That's enough for now. If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy."

Qin Yun dismissed Xi Ling and began handling related government affairs.

Guilliman has fled to an expedition, and Ryan is working in the shadows of the Empire. Qin Yun is still handling the political affairs of Terra.

On the other side of the Milky Way
Players who were doing quests in the expansion area of ​​Kronus quickly received quests from Xiling.
This immediately caused a surge in players searching for Irebas.
The reward offered by Xiling was so generous that capturing Irebas was more rewarding than winning several large-scale battles.

It can be said that as long as we capture Eribas, the Kronos campaign will rank among the top in contribution points.

"Eribas must be ours."

The little alpaca was full of confidence.
She led a large group of players from the National Religion through the breach and arrived at the port of call.

The port of call was bustling with activity, with countless ships coming and going.

Since the Colonus Expansion Act was enacted, in addition to players, merchants with a keen business sense have flocked to the area.

They brought various specialties, while also acquiring rare crops and ancient artifacts from the expanded region of Colonos.

Such a reselling trip can make a fortune in one go.

After replenishing their supplies at the port of call, the alpaca led the team on their way to the heart of the Colonus expansion.

Not only them, but also the Thirteenth Legion founded by Lobster, the island warlords of the Desert Organization, and others flocked to the Colonus Expansion Zone to find Eribas.

Soon, major battles broke out in the expansion of Colonus.

Lionfang, the orc warlord who had previously led his underlings to invade the Calithis sector, was sharpening his knives, ready to take revenge on humanity and wash away the shame of the past.

As a result, they were completely overwhelmed by the well-equipped and heavily armed players.

Not only this orc warlord, but all the non-imperial forces in the expansion of Kronus were stunned.
The players' combat power is too strong; they are destroyed on sight.

Wherever they went, all those who dared not surrender were annihilated.

The wave of destruction started at the port of call and continued to spread outwards.

The Chaos Gods, witnessing the players' actions from within the Warp, unanimously agreed that it was utterly terrifying.

They were all considering whether to train a powerful chosen hero, so that he could carry the blessings of the gods and fight against these terrible incarnations of destruction.

At the speed at which these chosen ones are moving, it won't be long before the galaxy takes on the shape of humanity.

If other races decline, the Empire becomes the sole superpower in the galaxy, and its people all worship the Emperor...
The gods are going to have a hard time.
Who knows how badly that guy will bully us?

…………

Inside a warship adorned with chaotic runes, Eribus slowly walked into a secret chamber.

The room was small and round, with dark, cold walls that jutted into the shadows overhead, making one feel as if they were in a well.

Strange whispers and hisses echoed in the room, the darkness churning as if it had a life of its own.

The room was unusually dark; the only source of light was the deep red glow emanating from the eight-pointed star symbol running through the floor.
It reflected blood-stained chains and amulets imbued with evil power, and also illuminated the chaotic believers shrouded in rotting robes.

They knelt on the ground, praying day and night.

The knee had become one with the writhing flesh and blood, becoming part of the warship.

“Reveal to me the will of the gods.”

Iribus's voice was deep and malevolent, like the hissing of a cunning viper.

The believers dared not disobey Eribus's orders.

They chanted ancient incantations, and their emaciated, pale bodies began to tremble violently.

The writhing flesh rapidly devoured their bodies.

The radiance projected by the eight-pointed star shone, forming numerous fragmented images.

The savage warriors walked along the terrifying path of bones, immersed in blood.

The world is burning, and cities are engulfed in darkness.

The twisted monster howled toward the sky.

With lifeless eyes and flames engulfing them, the warriors and slaves moved forward numbly, swinging their weapons in unison.

These images all have special meanings.
Representing the chaotic primordial power of the subspace and a certain Corpse King stuck between reality and illusion.

When he saw the warriors and slaves, Eribus made no attempt to hide his disgust.

He hates these idiots.
He wasn't nearly as disgusted with it before.
He had already foreseen the fate of the Corpse King during the Battle of Terra.

They can either ascend to godhood or choose to destroy humanity.

Either defeat Horus, or let the galaxy slowly die.

For the sake of humanity, the Emperor ultimately chose the second option.

Irebus was once very proud of itself.

It was because of his planning that the current situation has come to this.

He was the greatest contributor to the entire Horus Rebellion, and even to the invasion of the real universe by Chaos.

But now, the situation has changed.

The Corpse King somehow found the outsider.
The other side brought a bunch of higher-dimensional beings into this universe to act as chosen ones.

These chosen ones cannot be killed, nor can they be corrupted.

They even made a mess of their fate, and many of their original plans went bankrupt.

The Chaos Gods were helpless and could only watch them run rampant.

The scene kept changing, eventually settling on the port of arrival.

A large number of chosen ones are active here.
Due to the interference of the higher-dimensional laws and the Corpse King, the faces of each chosen one were extremely blurry, making it impossible to discern their true features.
Their destiny threads were also out of step with this universe, connected only to that outsider known as the saint.

"How can we corrupt them?"

Irebas began to ponder.
They are immune to the power of chaos, meaning they cannot be corrupted in the same way that Horus was corrupted.

Even if you stab them with your nemesis's blade, it will only send them back to be resurrected.

"The best course of action now is to try to demonstrate the superiority of Chaos to you, and let them see that the Chaos Gods are more suitable than the Emperor to rule this universe."

"As long as they are willing to assist the Chaos Gods in ruling this universe, they can make this universe a paradise."

Eribus analyzed these chosen ones.
They decided to use benefits to persuade those chosen ones to join the embrace of the gods.

The Chosen Ones are essentially tools within the Empire.
They are given dangerous tasks, and they have to buy their own equipment; they are being exploited too much.

If I make enough promises, I'm sure I can win over some of the chosen ones.

After all, the benefits gained from following the emperor are far less than those gained from following the Chaos Gods.

Whether it's power, wealth, or strength, the Chaos Gods can provide it.

It also allows them to run rampant in the galaxy, becoming the most prestigious beings in the galaxy, doing whatever they want.

"With my unparalleled wisdom, you will eventually be embraced by the gods."

A smile appeared on Eribas's face as he looked at the indistinct faces of the Chosen Ones at the port of landing.

Soon, he will bring these guys into the ranks of the Chaos Gods and then have them launch an attack on outsiders.

Just like how he turned Horus against the Emperor during the Great Expedition, leading him to attack the Emperor.

Soon, a rebellion of the chosen ones, comparable to the Horus Rebellion, will break out.
