The Astartes Family's Notebook

"Then sell another ship."

The entire War Gang was built up by the Samar brothers. Although Amaterasu instinctively felt something was wrong, he had no intention of disobeying his great-father.

Since it's a business with no initial investment, let's sell.

Because of their long-standing business dealings with the Black Legion, the local black oil dealers have a considerable stockpile of equipment related to Astartes, and even sell Terminator armor.

Katz didn't mince words; he bought everything he could and sold everything he could.

Such a generous client, who still adheres to certain traditional customs, is more likable than those who only know how to play with horrific engines. I promptly presented him with a "gift".

A powered claw, it's a powered claw!

Katz smiled with satisfaction.

“Come on, brothers Amaterasu, one for you and one for me.”

Huh? Kars dares to use a weapon of chaos?

It depends on the situation.

For a demon to possess a powered weapon, it must first be a renowned and powerful demon.

Because the disintegration field of the powered weapon is very mysterious, weaker demons are directly disintegrated.

Kaz's disguise was so perfect that Amaterasu didn't even need the Samar brothers to ask; he thoughtfully performed the exorcism ritual for him beforehand.

The old men often come to visit.

Although Amaterasu had effectively left on her own, her power armor still bore the Black Legion's paint scheme, and the attitude of the local Black Armorers pleased the entire Staff of Truth warriors.

Abaddon's name still works in the Eye of Fear.

After a brief rest, the Chaos Warband members, whose equipment had been repaired, showed a slight increase in their affinity for the Staff of Truth.

That's more like it. If they can't even provide basic weaponry, what kind of war gang are they? What kind of miserable lives did they live in the past?

Katz specifically instructed Flair to purchase a batch of protective paint.

Now that the development of the War Gang is on the right track, it's time to get the paint job standardized.

Don't underestimate this action; it's very helpful in uniting people's hearts and minds.

Kaz doesn't have time to standardize regulations; that's the job of the leader of the war gang.

Amaterasu wasn't pretentious; he felt he still had some artistic talent within him.

Thus, an open book with crossed swords and staffs was created, and that's how the War Clan emblem came about.

Hmm, it looks a bit like the emblem of the Oathkeepers chapter.

Forget it, why bother with all this? Kaz didn't choose to paint on his power armor, but he also didn't want to be too unconventional, so he just wore a burqa over his power armor with the Warband emblem on it.

After a brief period of rest, the snowballing ambitions of the Stick of Truth faction will continue.

Whether in the real universe or inside the warp, ships are much more valuable and expensive than powered armor.

However, neither Kars nor Amaterasu trusted the newly joined Chaos Astartes.

How could we possibly let them be in charge of ships? They'd run away at the first opportunity.

So it's no big deal that it's been sold.

Anyway, Kaz's idea was clear: take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ramp up the Golden Throne's KPIs and slaughter the Chaos traitors.

After all, the Samar brothers were "chosen by Khorne," and their hobby of merely collecting the heads of their defeated enemies was so normal that it was almost abnormal among Khorne's followers.

However, considering that the Samar brothers are also "Tzeentch's Chosen", any abnormality seems too normal.

Heavenly Venerable, you did a great job!

Hehe, it's hard not to giggle.

It would be very simple for Kars to return to the real universe.

Given the current size of the Staff of Truth faction, Abaddon's gate fleet has no chance of surrounding them and demanding any tolls.

But what Katz wants is not a humiliating, clean-up review; Katz won't stand for that!

He had privately discussed this issue with the original eight elders, including Amaterasu.

Believe it or not, when we brainstormed and looked at the problem from the perspective of the Chaos Traitor, everyone actually offered some constructive suggestions.

The decision to go and grind in Deathwatch was the right one.

Deathwatch is very special, it is more like a warband than a warband, and it has a very high political status. The Inquisition cannot use conventional means to put pressure on the Deathwatch's leader.

After all, the Astartes organization, which originally aimed to hunt aliens, has long since transformed into a bridgehead for contact with the forces of Chaos.

More than 70% of the Empire's Chaos-related intelligence comes from Deathwatch, an assassin organization that also functions as an intelligence agency.

There was a time when an Alphareth warband infiltrated Deathwatch, then killed more than twenty Deathwatch members and stole ships and arsenals.

The Empire was rather slow to react to this, but few Chaos traitors kept their mouths shut. After the news spread through the Eye of Terror, the Lords of Watchtower issued a kill order, and countless Chaos Astartes who wanted to go ashore launched a relentless hunt for this Alpharis warband.

As a result, another Alpha Reis team managed to steal the kill.

Then, no one ever saw the Alpharis warband that received the bounty again within the Eye of Fear.

Where did all those Ah Fas end up? It's really hard to guess.

Katz's reason for preparing to place the water in the Death Watch corridor was simply to lock his own file first.

In the power struggle between Astartes and the Inquisition, the initiative was paramount.

As long as the chapter leader of the Wasteland Wings takes the initiative to use connections to find a "reliable" judge to intervene in Kaz's purity review, and then exerts pressure from all sides to suppress public opinion.

So the Kazia space voyage issue isn't a big deal; we can just go through the motions.

If a less "reliable" judge intervenes first, Katz will be in big trouble.

Therefore, we must first get the Samar brothers a clean and good ship, or at the very least, one that can play hide-and-seek with the Inquisitors in the real universe.

Then, a large-scale operation will be launched to entice the Empire's mobile fleet along the Cadian Line.

Not only did Abaddon set up fortifications inside the Eye of Terror, but the Empire also built a large number of permanent fortifications outside the Eye of Terror and dispatched a large fleet for mobile patrols.

When small war gangs go out to hunt, the first challenge they face is the Empire's patrol fleets.

Every year, quite a few Chaos warships are sunk as soon as they set out.

Despite their overwhelming victories in the twelve Black Expeditions, Chaos Astartes was actually the one whose goal was blocked.

After several rounds of keeping quiet within the War Gang, with the motto "I'm only telling you, don't tell anyone else," everyone except the truly autistic knew that the Samar brothers were the successful Alpharis.

The War Gang leader is going back to the Empire's inner circle to continue his undercover work.

Gangs are common, but powerful figures are rare. If we don't work hard now, what will we do after our powerful figures leave? Rely on the gang leader, Amaterasu?

Although it may sound like an insult to the Chaos Wizard, none of the Chaos Warbands that have made a name for themselves within the Eye of Terror have been led by a Chaos Wizard.

Serafax of the Thousand Eyes Gang is considered a big shot, with a dozen or twenty thugs under his command.

so what.

Inside the Eye of Fear, Chaos Wizards are second-class citizens. No matter how profound your Chaos Wizardry or how powerful your psionic magic is, it's still no match for a Space Demon.

Killing a powerful Chaos Wizard is incredibly difficult in the real universe, but in the warp, who doesn't have ninety-nine ways to do it?

If you can't afford the Chaos Demon, save up some money and hire the Supreme Wizard of the Thousand Sons Legion. Spend more money, spend more.

It's true that Kaz abused his position to massacre Chaos traitors under the guise of developing the Warband, but his intention to stand up for Amaterasu was also genuine.

My brother has treated me with sincerity, how could I, Amaterasu, possibly betray him?

At least the room where Katz was resting was cleaner than the sterile room on the top floor of the Imperial Nest.

Those who have clear short-term goals are efficient in their work.

By the time Abaddon heard the rumors and sent envoys to Amaterasu, Amaterasu was already the leader of a large warband of about two hundred Chaos Astartes.

The name "Samar the Demon Slayer" has become part of the legends of the subspace.

The Chaos Wizard Amaterasu is not scary; what's scary is his brother Samar.

Chapter 422 This is the Chaos Astartes

Hey buddy, you know the suspension bridge effect? ​​You know, the one that helps us find girlfriends.

I know! Find a suspension bridge, or if you don't have one, a tall building with floor-to-ceiling windows will do. First, lean half your body out of the window, wait about ten seconds, and then pull her back. At that moment, your confession success rate will become 1000%!

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

It's okay for Chaos Astartes to be poor, because material life within the Eye of Fear is truly difficult.

However, during the process of merging the war gangs, Kars really broadened his horizons.

The weapons and equipment left over from the Legion era left Kaz, a loyal empire official, speechless with despair.

Why didn't I transmigrate and be reborn into the era of the Great Expedition, Your Majesty?!

For the past hundred years, he had been working in the Imperial Hall, and Ka Zhongtang hadn't really felt anything about it. Like Li Zhongtang, he was doing alright.

How can they be so similar?

This moment is just like that moment back then.

Ka Zhongtang's journey into the subspace was a perfect replica of Li Zhongtang's trip to America, almost like the Golden Cycle.

The warp doesn't offer much in the way of loot, but the Imperial equipment from the Great Crusade era seized from the Chaos traitors is undeniable proof of the current human empire...

Never mind, let's just watch the game.

The Black Legion's envoy had arrived, but Kaz did not give him any special treatment. Instead, he took him to the arena.

Don't get me wrong, the Samar brothers aren't born bloodthirsty; they're just giving you a warning.

Ah yes, yes, that's right, everyone would be willing to go against their conscience and guarantee it.

With the Celestial Venerable pulling strings behind the scenes, Amaterasu's methods of blocking the door became increasingly skillful.

In the past, they would only bother small battle gangs with a dozen or twenty members, but now they dare to confront chaotic battle gangs with dozens or even hundreds of members.

But the Samar brothers were incredibly powerful, like nuclear-powered donkeys and horses, tearing apart hell dragons and beating hell beasts with their bare hands. The enemy warband's heavy urban warfare equipment, which they were so proud of, was completely unable to withstand the full-scale invasion of the Staff of Truth warband.

Where's the Chaos Wizard? Help! Help him quickly!

Sorry, Amaterasu alone is troublesome enough. In the process of continuous mergers, the Staff of Truth has assembled a psionic special forces team specifically responsible for combating chaos wizards.

“Amaterasu, forming a war gang is the same as forming a band. The main reason a band breaks up is because of unequal distribution of spoils, and the biggest reason a war gang breaks up is because of unclear rewards and punishments. Now there are more than two hundred brothers in the war gang, how many of them truly respect me? This question is not important at all, and even if I kill their brothers, relatives, friends and loved ones, it is not important. I have given them more than enough, understand?”

"Ah."

Amateraz was completely convinced. The Samar brothers did a good job of being fair in their rewards and punishments. It seemed that being a company commander under the pseudo-emperor had indeed honed his skills in handling both sides.

"So remember this: part ways amicably. After I'm gone, if any of your brothers in the War Gang are not convinced by you, fight them first. If that doesn't work, name your price and have them do something for you. Then send them off politely. Don't do anything like wiping them out. We might meet again someday. Who knows if we'll ever have the chance to meet again?"

Brother Samar, let's talk about this behind closed doors. Abaddon's envoy is right there listening. Isn't this just giving the Great Raiders a hard time?

But what kind of person is Katz? Does he care about Abaddon's face?

“I will build a huge warband for you. Even if half of the brothers want to leave, you can let them go. The remaining half will be enough for you to establish yourself in the Eye of Fear.”

Astartes are all starved for love, and Chaos Astartes are especially so. Such a paternalistic statement would have been reported by his subordinates in the Imperial faction, but in the Chaos Warband circle, who doesn't envy Amaterasu?

Godfather!

I really want a godfather like Samar!

Those who can come out as envoys are either those who have offended the big boss or his trusted confidants. As a fellow veteran of the long war, Gas knew the people sent by Abaddon.

To be fair, although everyone loves a mere raider in private, mediocre people are never laughed at. All this constant bashing of Prince Guilliman doesn't stop Kars from being a loyal Astartes. Regent, I like you!

The same applies to Abaddon.

Ezekiel Abaddon is also a master of balancing things, managing to cause so much trouble with the Eye of Fear.

Astartes, who came from the Black Legion, thought the Great Raiders were worthless, only knowing how to "unite" other evil races of unknown origin.

The other Chaos factions that bowed down in worship also felt that the Eternal Chosen were petty and narrow-minded, showing special favor to their own Black Legion, and that their selfishness was too much.

Abaddon's ability to hold the gang together and prevent it from falling apart in this unfavorable situation demonstrates his undeniable personal capabilities.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Celestial Venerable dared not bestow blessings upon Kaz casually.

That bastard Kaz is such a scoundrel, yet he's qualified to be Abaddon's replacement. If he really gets involved in the internal strife between the Master and the Emperor and gets this scoundrel into becoming the chosen one of the five gods, then there's no need to worry about whether the Black Crusade is worth continuing. It would be a miracle if Kaz didn't first fight Abaddon in a chaotic war that would set the warp ablaze.
