The Astartes Family's Notebook

According to conventional warp stereotypes, the Khorne Archduke is a dual-wielding berserker, the Nurgle Archduke is a heavily armored warrior, the Tzeentch Archduke is a sword and staff mage, and the Slaanesh Archduke is a blood sorcerer.

Without the aid of magic, most of the guardians would be unable to defeat the Myriad Transformations Demon Lord in hand-to-hand combat.

Those birdmen actually all have spell traits similar to Gandalf's, making them incredibly powerful in melee combat.

Kaz showed none of the restraint he displayed when facing the Chaos Demon. His sword mind was clear and unhindered, and he understood everything. Soft weapons like whips couldn't even be classified as unusual weapons; they were just uncommon among the popular ones.

Simply avoid the coils and entanglements, then close the distance, and then...

Are you stupid? Do you think I don't know that this thing can be manipulated like tentacles in a way that defies common sense?

Katz feigned an opening, narrowly avoiding the Guardian's whip, which suddenly turned and swung, casually attaching two grenades to the barbs of the tentacle whip.

Taking advantage of the fact that the whip was twitching and its body was powerless due to the shockwave from the grenade explosion, Kaz finally cut into the Keeper's reverse-handed side position.

With a whip in one hand and pincers in the other, the Guardian of Secrets seemed to be all-around capable, skilled in both close and long-range combat, but in the end, he could only abandon the whip and turn to use the pincers to catch the power sword that Kaz was swinging.

However, what Company Commander Motor Sich taught Katz was not only aptitude test and essay writing, but also practical tips on hand-switching techniques.

With a quick movement of his left and right hands, Kaz dislocated the Guardian's pincers.

This is a bad habit that Kazia developed after his space voyage; he now particularly enjoys using the War Stomp move to step on things.

For example, the head of the Chaos Traitor.

For example, the tactical helmet on the head of the Chaos Traitor.

For example, the breastplate of the Chaotic Traitor lying on the ground, struggling to breathe.

For example, the pincers that the Chaos Demon sheds during its claw-changing period.

General Ka is kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer.

Damn it, this is going to crash!

The keeper had no choice; its master was watching. In another setting, it would have run away, but now it had to find a way to continue the fight.

Got it!

In the instant their eyes met, even through the tactical helmet, the Keeper seized the opportunity.

The eyes are the windows to the soul; no matter how high your spiritual resistance is, you still have to undergo a test of willpower!

Both hemispheres of the brain were simultaneously fighting against the blessing of Khorne, and Kars was affected.

The Keeper of the Secret was overjoyed. It had entered! It had finally entered Kaz's mental world!

Hahahaha, let me see your true and vulnerable side.

Uh......

Something's not right. Although Astartes are good at fighting, their minds are still within the realm of mortals.

Why is this guy's inner world not the usual dark and gloomy one, but so rich and colorful?

Also, what's the deal with those four chairs?

"Now, contestants, please select your mentor team."

A strange voice from the heart suddenly rang out, startling the keeper of the secret.

What faction mentor? I am a Keeper of the Secrets under the Dark Prince, a Grand Demon of Slaanesh. How could I possibly choose another faction? That's just ridiculous.

Then, a chair slowly turned, and golden light emanated from it.

"You're so annoying, we've only seen the second season."

The Keeper of the Secrets died, erased from the soul level, and the secrets it had glimpsed deep within Kars' consciousness vanished into thin air.

The one who keeps secrets, true to his name, is indeed a master of keeping his mouth shut.

Kaz was unaware that what he had cut down with his sword was actually just an empty shell.

But [Destroyer's Blade] doesn't care.

Another chaotic sect has been destroyed by "Samar". What a good day!

"This ship now belongs to Abaddon. Remember what you promised."

Kaz released the button on the power sword, deactivated the disintegration field, performed a stylish sword flourish, and sheathed the sword, glancing at the Black Legion's envoy.

Then, he raised one hand and looked at Amaterasu.

"Boss, give the order. We should head back."

Amaterasu couldn't take his eyes off her.

His ambitions and dreams almost vanished because of the unique brotherhood of the Astartes.

Joining Slaanesh's side wasn't the worst option, but the preciousness of freedom only becomes truly valuable when you lose... well, almost lose it.

It's unimaginable what kind of achievements someone like Samar will accomplish in the future.

Amaterasu, like a foolish little brother, opened an infinite gate for Kars.

We've had our fun, made a ruckus, and had our fill of killing; it's time to go home for dinner.

Only Slaanesh was so angry he laughed.

You bastard, do you think I'm stupid?

He's still using the magic I gave him!

Hehe, why are you angry? Turning love into hate, isn't that exactly in line with your aesthetic sense, Ms. Joy?

The Celestial Venerable was skilled in the art of language; with a single sentence, he quelled the Dark Prince's anger.

Hahaha, hahaha, hahahahahaha, this plot, tsk tsk, there's nothing new under the sun after all.

Kars, that kid, truly lives up to his reputation as an emperor's son born evil.

The thought that Kars would eventually return to be his loyalist company commander, and that the Chaos Warband he had built would one day appear before his warband...

Slaanesh was filled with anticipation.

The wait and effort were worthwhile for this moment.

Hey.

whee.

Hahahaha.

Chapter 425 Wishing you a safe journey

True gentleness is having no expectations of others.

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

Is it a bad deal to exchange two ships for a verbal agreement with the Black Legion?

It's alright.

Huh?

I asked you whether you made a profit or a loss, and you said it was a success?

Don't underestimate the Black Legion's skin.

Although Abaddon the Great Raider has never had a great reputation, there are actually only a few significant mountain ranges within the Eye of Terror.

With the Stick of Truth now affiliated with the Black Legion, it's safe to say the weather has turned out this way.

At least the morale within the War Gang has improved.

The tactics Kaz used before were nothing more than the same methods employed by the Ancient Terran Refugee Commander, which involved inciting riots: either die or join the warband in a frenzy.

That's why he told Amaterasu that if half of his brothers wanted to leave, he shouldn't forcefully suppress them, but rather let them part ways amicably.

After all, given the way [Destroyer of the Hall] operates, the Armory of the Staff of Truth is certainly not lacking in power armor and the like, and they have also confiscated quite a few gene seeds.

Leaving aside those who are so corrupted by the power of chaos that they are no longer usable, as long as the source of soldiers is secured, half a company of new blood can be easily recruited.

There's no way around it; Kaz, a top student nurtured by the Empire, is far superior to the Blind Drifters of the Eye of Fear when it comes to operations.

To be fair, Abaddon's diplomacy was passable, but his domestic affairs were only at the level of an ordinary Astartes chapter commander. Although the Black Legion's core was once the son of Horus, the Black Legion was no longer an Astartes legion simply bound by genetic lineage.

Abaddon, who recruited many talented individuals, had all sorts of strange and wonderful people under his command, including AlphaRice.

This was the main reason why Ghas followed Amaterasu.

As an old member of the Shadowmoon Wolves, Gath just wanted to live a quiet life with his brothers in the Legion and didn't want to get involved in those messy, sordid affairs.

Technical sergeants can be hired from outside. Although Frey never talks about his background, he is very skilled, so no one cares.

However, the proper work of a pharmacist can only be done by people who are truly trustworthy.

Having reconnected with the Black Legion, Amaterasu, as the gang leader, immediately reached out to his old contacts.

"You're the leader, so you can make the decisions."

Kaz didn't know anyone in the Black Legion, so he didn't want to offer any opinions or give unsolicited advice on these matters.

Although the battle with the Emperor's Sons faction resulted in significant casualties for the faction, it strengthened their team and increased their cohesion. The lost men can simply be recovered and recaptured.

Carrying the banner of chaos against chaos, do we need to teach him this? Katz is the spiritual successor of Sir Humphrey.

Whether all the factions in the Empire wiped out more Chaos traitors in a century than Kars himself killed is a question.

The saying "The Staff of Truth does not accept trash" has become a common consensus within the War Clan.

Because the veterans of the battle gang had all been caught in the rain, they had to break the umbrellas of the newcomers.

Even if they come seeking refuge, they must first be blanched in an octagonal cage.

Based solely on the fact that joining the guild grants access to power armor, many lone wolves who had been mistreated by their former employers were preparing to try their luck at the Stick of Truth.

Katz doesn't engage in malicious internal strife; he's already very powerful as long as he unleashes his destructive power normally.

The Empire's estimate of the number of Chaos Astartes was somewhat affected by this major flaw.

There are quite a few Chaos Astartes within the Eye of Fear.

While the number of reinforcements certainly cannot compare with that of the Empire, the counterintuitive fact is that Chaos Astartes, despite its severe internal strife, has a much better situation in terms of manpower loss than the Empire.

At least the number of Chaos Astartes is increasing.

Haha, hahaha, sigh, Empire, saying I love you is really not an easy thing.

But don't think that the Eye of Fear is a good place; it's not as good as the Empire.

A group of killers attempted to join the Staff of Truth and nearly infected Kaz.

"The Slaughterers" is not the name of the war gang, but a disease.

Ah yes, it's the disease called love~~~~~~ that disease name.

Because the root cause of their illness is really just their passion.

The Empire has many knowledgeable psionic experts who have never stopped exploring and researching the nature of the warp, and have produced countless research reports on extreme tendencies toward the High Heaven.

As for the killer virus, it's impossible to determine which of the four vendors was responsible; perhaps all of them were involved.

For every Astartes, killing is second nature.

Some Astartes, influenced by their genetic lineage or upbringing, have an almost pathological obsession with close-quarters combat.

Over the years of battles, this obsession gradually evolved into an uncontrollable desire, which amplified over time until it reached a state of madness.

When these Astartes, who are driven to the extreme by the thirst for blood in close combat, enter the warp, the power of the Sea of ​​Souls will amplify this obsession once again.

At this point, the subspace virus known as the Slaughterer spread and proliferated through contaminated weapons and armor.

Infected Space Marines undergo a slow but irreversible transformation.

There's no need to go into too much detail; let's just jump to the conclusion that these things will become soldier-sexuality.

Anyone who's seen Guteras' masterpiece, Full Metal Panic! 2, will instantly understand why it's Jinshiro High School's rugby team.

What do interpersonal relationships and brotherhood matter? Only the weapon in my hand is my true love.

In the end, it became impossible to tell whether the weapons that had come to life possessed the masters of Astartes, or whether these killers had finally become one with their beloved weapons.

Although Katz didn't understand and was deeply shocked, and even unwilling to comprehend it, he still respected and chose to offer his blessings.

After all, XP is about freedom.
