The light curtain unfolded, and the not-so-mellow face of Mrs. Cassandra Vaneskus appeared in the center of the screen, and then quickly zoomed away. She obviously seemed not very accustomed to the simplicity of the new technology of pattern formation.

The reporting method is direct, so at the beginning, the face is very close.

Someone among the originals laughed - this time it was Leman Russ. He was drunk and had not yet woken up. No matter who he is, he has a tolerance for alcohol, and if he exceeds it, he will be affected.

Punishment. Even he cannot be exempted from it.

Sanguinius glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to wait for the next step with an expressionless face.

"Salute to you, Commander - in accordance with your order, I will not invite choirs and state church priests to sing your name this time, nor will I add so many titles in front of your name."

Mrs. Cassandra Vaneskus said this with some embarrassment, and then immediately turned to the topic, without even being polite, she started asking about the weather and other topics.

"My fleet and I have established a firm foothold in the Pablomis galaxy in the Pacific Star Territory. There are often abnormal subspace energy fluctuations here. I once again praise you for your foresight in allowing my Holy Ring to be equipped with patterns in advance,

Otherwise, relying solely on augur will definitely lead to getting lost in such an extremely harsh environment."

"After giving one thousand, seven hundred and twenty-three loyal lives, we recaptured Pablomis II and III, which belonged to the Empire and the Emperor. The two planets were relatively not well-defended, and

There are no Chaos Astartes. However, the vast amount of evil sorcery used by the shameless traitors has caused some trouble."

"This is a failed command, and I cannot absolve myself of the blame. They did not have to sacrifice themselves, and the mistake was my fault. The battle report has been attached with the message. You can ask me about the specific situation after the meeting. I strongly hope that you

You can read the third paragraph on page 4 of the battle report, which details why we lost so many loyal soldiers of the Emperor despite having new equipment and suppressive firepower..."

"Isn't it tiring for her to talk so much in one go?" Leman Russ muttered. "Besides, are the losses in this battle more than...?"

No one answered him. Rogal Dorn even stood up to watch the battle report displayed on the light screen more carefully. With his eyesight, he didn't need to do this at all.

I'm afraid this is some kind of habit - people always instinctively make some inadvertent small actions when thinking.

"We have established defense lines and bases on Pablomis II and III, and have deployed 'black towers'. According to your instructions, we have not activated the full power mode for the time being, but have kept it at a low power level.

The purification mode is energy-consuming. But even so, the effect is amazing."

"The traitors' base camp, the Forging World Pablomis No. 1, has been silent for a long time. Whether it is a provocation or a bait sent by using the traitor's identity, there is no answer. According to the detection of the pattern formation, there are still life activities on it.

signs, we don’t know yet why they didn’t answer, but we will wait for your arrival.”

Cassandra Vaneskus breathed a sigh of relief.

"...I personally am not good at words, so I can only make the report brief. I hope you don't mind. In addition, the soldiers of the First Son Regiment are indeed as elite as the rumors say, but it is a pity that their number is too small.

"

"However, their leader, Colonel Loska Petromia, seems to be hiding something and not telling me. According to the detection of the array, there is no sign of Chaos contamination on him. The details will have to wait until you come."

The investigation is clear. I have no right to interrogate him due to my duties and military rank. In the name of the Emperor, my report is concluded."

She performed an eagle salute, and the screen flickered for a moment, returning to darkness. The battle report she attached and the specific situation of the Pablomis Galaxy were enlarged.

He Shenyan made a gesture: "So, what are your opinions on this? You can tell me the good and the bad. I have no experience or knowledge in tactics and strategy. As everyone knows, I am the only one who knows how to do it, and I am the best at it.

The tactic is to rush over and kill everything alive."

He smiled, and everyone in the captain's room except the unconscious Erebus hanging there and the stern-faced Dorn also smiled.

Of course - Donne was the first to speak. His tone was as calm as ever, but the words he used were quite fierce.

"This lady is just messing around. Can't she feel what's hidden in the darkness? I don't know much about this galaxy and that forge world. I haven't even heard of its name before today."

"But I can tell from the galaxy map and the distribution of subspace energy that part of the Great Rift that exists there is operating with extraordinary activity. There are no Astartes on her fleet, so she established defense lines and bases so rashly.

, does she want all the remaining soldiers of her fleet to be buried here?"

Guilliman shook his head, not agreeing with his brother's statement - or rather, only half agreeing.

"She is an outstanding hero. I know Lady Cassandra, I know what she can do, and I have seen her ferocity when facing traitors and enemies. But she is only a mortal, Dorne,

You can't ask her to see the same things as you."

The Son of Vengeance raised his fingers and frowned: "As for her actions of establishing defense lines and bases...I admit that this is indeed a bit rash. However, Pablomis No. 1 is a very important forging world.

Data shows that it can produce more than 24% of the heavy weapons produced in the Taiping Galaxy. Please note that it is 24%."

Donne's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, brother, you have realized this - this is a very important world. We cannot give it to others under any circumstances. Otherwise, sooner or later, every heavy explosive bomb it produces will hit us.

In the body of his own soldier."

"Although Lady Cassandra's actions are relatively reckless, I think we cannot deny her courage and sense of responsibility in the face of danger. Such officers are rare, and we should not sacrifice for this decision.

To blame her, to be fair, haven't we all made similar decisions?"

"I agree with you, Robert."

Jaghatai Khan narrowed his eyes and said: "But there is something I don't understand... Captain, Lady Cassandra mentioned something called the 'Black Tower', what is it?"

"You can understand it as a... compound purifier." The mage waved his finger, and the electric light danced and crackled between his fingers. "New technology comes from another world. It is specially provided for her.

Used by the fleet - in fact, this thing was brought back by me to allow her to establish a base."

"It will continue to emit a stance that can purify the pollution of chaos. Yes, this is the most important function."

"However, if the number of black towers increases, they can also activate full power mode in an emergency and merge their stances as a psychic shield. According to tests, unless the big demons, any lesser demons and pollution will be immediately forced

Repatriated to the Warp."

"That's it, I don't have a problem anymore."

Khan nodded, the Chogorian's expression remained unchanged. But his eyes looked quite intriguing.

Guilliman noticed this. He did not choose to ask, but fell into deep thought.

"The subspace energy activity shown on the star map is very interesting."

Sanguinius spoke softly: "We are already quite deep in the Great Rift. The subspace energy activity level reported by the Revenge every day is only level 7.8, and Lady Cassandra is still three days away from us. What she said

The place reached an astonishing 18.3. What is buried in the darkness there?"

"The great demon of the evil gods - what else could it be?"

The Wolf King smiled and rubbed its fangs: "Their attacks and tactics are nothing new, but the methods of pollution are different... The leader of the Vostonian First Sons, who is called Pietro?"

Mia’s guy is very interesting – he actually has a secret?”

"Everyone has a secret, Ruth."

There was a hiss, a soft voice and a strong accent, and Konrad Coates smiled. He supported his pale face with his right hand, sitting elegantly, with his black hair hanging back: "His secret...

...Is it important?"

"Of course it does, Bat."

Ruth seemed to be still in a drunken state at this moment, and his face was very rosy. But his tone and language organization ability were quite normal, and could even be said to be organized.

Maybe when Ruth was drunk, he was more 'sober' than he usually showed.

This sentence suddenly flashed through Sanguinius's mind, almost making him laugh, but he didn't because he knew that this was probably not a joke.

"Any secret is important. The reason why a secret becomes a secret lies in its ulterior nature... You see, some things are not scary at all once they are told! For example, our regent

Your Highness, are you right?"

Guilliman leaned back violently, raised his voice, and replied calmly: "I don't know what you are talking about Russ. I don't even know."

"You speak as fast as the banshees in the Fenris Sea... They only sing so fast when they sing, and they only sing like this when they are in a hurry, otherwise they usually choose something more lyrical.

songs to seduce the young men."

Leman Russ smiled happily, with his own unique pleasure of 'prank succeeding': "And, I didn't say what your secret is at all..."

His expression suddenly changed at this moment, becoming serious and gloomy.

"The two eldest son groups of Vostonia came through the subspace without the star torch navigation and met up with the lady - at this point in time, I have reason to suspect that they may have been corrupted. Consider it.

To the results given by the pattern array..."

Leman Russ gritted his teeth.

"If my guess is true, then they may not even know that they have been corrupted. This is the most terrifying guess. I believe you all know what Chaos can do to human souls - remember Horu

Si? Or look at Fulgrim sitting next to us?"

The Chemos man helplessly covered half of his face and sighed deeply.

"You have so many examples to give, Ruth, but why did you choose just the two of us?"

"Because, before you two announce your betrayal, we can't see any reason for you to betray."

Corvus Corax replied quietly: "Horus is incomparably glorious, and you are the embodiment of perfection, the Emperor's favorite... Even you like this can be found by Chaos and take advantage of it.

Enter. So, what about those mortals?"

Fulgrim lowered his hand.

"The will of mortals may be stronger than ours, brother." Phoenix, who still had scars on his face, said. "We don't know who we are, but we have extremely powerful power. And they... they know clearly

You know who you are, but you can still fight to the death without regrets."

"you are right."

Corax nodded, and the Lord of Crows' expression was calm and scary: "But I still have reservations - in any case, the investigation and purification of the entire fleet of Cassandra Vanleskus will be carried out before our

Start as soon as possible after meeting them. The Raven Guard will take care of this."

"And..." He turned his head and looked at the smiling Lord of the Night. "You don't want to stay out of it, Konrad Coates. Bats and ravens belong in the same darkness, and I ask you

Come with me to deal with this matter."

Everyone looked surprised, and Vulcan was a little moved in his surprise. As for Konrad Coates...

He grinned and gave a chilling sneer: "Okay, Corvus Corax. I will go with you. Yes, I will, hehehehe...

.”

"...Bar, do you have to smile like that?"

Sanguinius couldn't help but flap his wings, and his brilliance suddenly appeared. It dispelled the darkness surrounded by Curze's emotions: "Curze, I hate to say this, but your laughter can be compared to Russ singing.

The sound rivals.”

"......What?!"

Vulkan scratched the back of his head and gave an affirmative answer, which made Leman Russ almost jump out of his chair in disbelief: "Yes, brother, it's like two pieces of glass or sword blades.

They rub against each other. Your speaking voice is not unpleasant, but your singing is really terrible."

The Wolf King slid to the back half of the chair in dismay, folded his hands and stopped talking.

"I've never heard you sing, Russ." The mage showed an interesting smile. "I wouldn't mind listening to it later. Maybe your brothers are just slandering you - of course, it's also possible that you

It’s really hard to sing...but that’s not the point.”

The smile disappeared from his face little by little, and the operation of his muscles became sluggish. He stared at the rotating star map expressionlessly, and said word by word: "Before we arrive, wish them well.

Good luck."
