The Astartes Family's Notebook

So even though the killer offered the [Destroyer's Blade] an unparalleled divine weapon, Kars's hand was only 0.01 millimeters away from the pathogen, but he ultimately restrained himself.

Kars was a born battle maniac, not a born melee maniac. The thought of having to give up other combat pleasures by only being able to fight in close combat made him hesitate and ultimately give up.

Holy crap, the warp is really weird!

Kaz only realized afterwards that he had seriously considered the pros and cons and thought about whether or not to join the ranks of the killers.

Damn, this chaotic pollution is impossible to guard against.

But taking in these murderers as dogs isn't a big problem.

While chaotic pollution is terrifying, it is somewhat similar to Nen abilities; its powerful infectivity is inevitably accompanied by strong constraints.

The Slaughter Virus can only attach to melee weapons and armor. Kaz tested it; when he approached these Slaughters with a slingshot, they even experienced physical discomfort.

The subspace, isn't it amazing? It always manages to give you a scare before delivering a darkly humorous twist that leaves you both laughing and crying.

Judging by appearances alone, these murderers seem very much like the work of Confucius.

However, the Horror faction has Vampire weapons, which, once grasped, cannot be broken free.

There's no need for that.

Moreover, the Master is relatively lenient towards Astartes; the use of explosive guns is permitted, and there is absolutely no need to create the Slaughter Virus, turning the all-powerful warriors into mindless melee hack-and-slashers.

Vampires are enough, why make Astartes a defective product in the same ecological niche as vampires?

With recruitment efforts underway to bolster its ranks, the Stick of Truth has begun a new round of mergers and acquisitions.

"Brother Samar, you seem a little anxious?"

"We have to be in a hurry. Didn't the Black Legion reply? They'll be launching a routine offensive soon."

Although Abaddon has only organized twelve Black Crusades so far, regular raids are something that need to be done every now and then. If we don't raid, what will everyone eat?

The reason Cartier's defenses are under so much pressure is because a group of bandits and thugs would occasionally emerge from the Eye of Fear.

The Imperial Navy is no pushover. If the current fleet of the Staff of Truth were to try to escort Kaz away from the Eye of Fear, they would be beaten to a pulp by the Empire.

With twenty permanent warbands and thousands of warships of various types, the military force that the Empire has deployed near the Eye of Terror could even serve as the villainous lineup in the final battle in other stories.

Therefore, if you want to leave safely, it is relatively safer to travel with other war gangs that are preparing to go out to find food.

Kaz truly did not intend to die under the Empire's Light Spear Cannon without knowing why.

Coincidentally, the other Chaos Warbands thought the same thing.

I don't need to run faster than the bear, I just need to run faster than my teammates.

Abaddon was able to maintain his position as the Warmaster of Chaos and receive continuous blessings from the four gods because he was always doing "real work".

If those chaotic war gangs are allowed to go their own way, it will only turn into a huge joke in the end.

But with the Black Legion in charge, at least they can still get some support.

Without Abaddon to keep it in check, the Eye of Fear would really have to disperse.

Meanwhile, Katz has also figured out something else in the past few days.

This refers to the difference between the Eye of Fear and the subspace.

When the Chaos Astartes travels in the warp, the ship also needs to continuously activate the Geller field.

Astartes can go a month without food, a year without sleep, so what about ten years, or fifty years?

At least the Geller force field was activated, so if any fools managed to sneak into the ship, the alarm would at least sound twice.

Then the problem arises. As we all know, enemies and allies share the same origin. Most of the technology in the hands of the Chaos traitors was inherited from the human empire during the Great Crusade era, and 99% of their new equipment was also stolen from the empire.

Therefore, the problem that the Geller Force Field and the Void Shield cannot be activated simultaneously is unsolvable for the Empire, and also unsolvable for the Chaos Astartes.

The greatest significance of the existence of the Eye of Fear domain is that it provides the Chaos War Gang with a front-line base.

At least after being ravaged by the Four Gods' Demon Army, even the Void Whale wouldn't bother to cause trouble for no reason.

This allows the Chaos Warband's ships to deactivate the Geller Force Field in advance and transform into Void Shield form before launching an attack.

Otherwise, they'd be blown up by the Imperial Navy and wouldn't even have a chance to complain.

However, this characteristic also makes it particularly easy for factionalism to break out in chaotic civil wars.

Kaz has decided to take this opportunity to leave the Eye of Fear directly.

So I have to really push my Golden Throne KPIs before I leave.

Once we leave the Eye of Fear, where will we find so many Chaos traitors for him to kill?

This urgency was infectious; at least the eight elders felt the kindness of Uncle Samar.

war!

war!!

war!!!

Unless it's for revenge, aiming to kill the other party's entire family, the Chaos Astartes in the warp generally don't engage in void naval battles.

If you damage a ship, you have to repair it yourself, which is too much trouble. So, let's board the ship, board the ship, just board the ship, kill the enemy, and take over their wife, children, and yurt.

Samar brothers, stand the wheels up...

People cannot be compared to each other; the harm that Roger Dorn caused to the Master was far too profound.

Oh, what a painful realization, you're not my everything anyway.

After failing to bind Kars directly to the subspace, the fearsome saint became disgusted with him.

What I'm about to give you, you can't refuse, but how am I supposed to know what you want if you don't tell me?

Even a Chaos Astartes wouldn't doubt that the Samar brothers had caught Khorne's eye, but Kars's mental barrier was exceptionally thick, as thick as his skin. Those who eat the Master's food and use the Master's things are those who don't acknowledge being the Master's people.

Ugh, what a scumbag.

Ah, Astartes, you've piqued my interest.

Even destructive powers engage in acts of using others to do their dirty work, but the one using the knife doesn't care.

[The Blade of Annihilation] He himself didn't even count how many gangs he had destroyed.

Won't such a large-scale annihilation of the Chaos War Gang provoke the wrath of the Four Gods?

Of course not. Only petty animal rights activists who are obsessed with self-satisfaction would pursue a happy family life.

Lions hunting wildebeest actually helps the herd reproduce.

Because by eliminating the sick and weak, the strong have a wider space to survive.

The environment of the Warp is much harsher than that of the African savanna. The Four Gods recruited the Astartes to get them to work, not to keep them as ornamental fish. If they do a good job, they will be rewarded; if they mess up, they will be punished, and if they don't like someone, they will die.

This is called fairness. If Kars messes up, he dies anyway, without any special treatment.

So, did Katz mess up?

Almost there.

Brother Samar, you're acting so high-profile, do you really think the other factions won't unite against you?

That's not quite it. It's more accurate to say that the problem of cognitive dissonance is widespread in the Infernal Galaxy, both inside and outside the subspace.

Kaz didn't care at all about the fate of the Staff of Truth.

Looking ahead, it's a dark hole; it must be the thieves' lair. I'll go and wipe them out completely!

No matter how many of you team up, I'll just focus on one and beat them to death.

After a hard-won growth of 300 men, only about 100 brothers remained after a single battle, because the opposing side was wary of each other and did not want to suffer too many losses, so they took the initiative to retreat.

Is it a loss?

Amaterasu felt it was a loss, as two of the eight elders had died.

Is it profitable?

It was profitable; some of the surviving brothers even managed to get top three spots.

Only at this point can the Stick of Truth truly be considered a complete faction.

"After the disbandment, eat well, drink well, sleep well, repair your own weapons and armor, and get back on your feet when you wake up."

Most warbands would have started shirking responsibility and passing the buck after such a major loss, but Kaz's nonchalant attitude was too convincing. These Chaos Astartes, which were clearly being merged into the warbands, had already been manipulated into the shape of Tom the cat by their brother Samar.

Enough said, just fight!

When the Black Legion's envoy came to visit again, the veteran of the Eternal War was speechless.

This stick of truth is either fighting or on its way to fighting; it never stops.

"Nothing else, just wanted to let you know that the fleet has begun assembling for this raiding operation, so you'd better hurry."

Is this day finally coming?

Brother Samar, stay here and lead the brothers to conquer a vast territory!

But Katz remained unmoved, his heart as firm as steel.

"Time is running out. After I'm gone, you must be strict with yourselves and not slack off or become lazy. Do you understand?"

Normally, when Kaz gives a speech, the entire guild responds immediately, but this time, silence is the prevailing theme.

"Set off! The final battle before the assembly! Slaughter them all, leave no survivors!"

"Whoa!"

The envoy was filled with turbulent emotions. How could a man like Samar be just an Alpha Reis?

"When you shoulder your pack and lay down that glory..."

Kars hummed a little tune about Gutera, preparing to enjoy one last pleasant battle during this warp journey.

Chapter 426 The Art of Charlatanry

When a civilization is willing to pay any price for survival, it has already twisted itself into a monster that forces it to make such a decision.

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

The biggest gain from Kaz's warp voyage was obtaining firsthand information about the Eye of Terror.

Being a Chaos Astartes isn't as easy as it seems.

Some things cannot be understood simply by looking at files and statistical reports without experiencing them firsthand.

For example, entering and exiting subspace.

In Kars's original understanding, wasn't warp space something that just whizzed in and then whizzed out?

It's just a matter of a shiver.

Ultimately, it was Motor Sich that protected Katz too well; he was a giant baby nurtured by the systematic education of the Wasteland Wings.

Hey, can it talk?

Cough cough, the sect education in the Wasteland Wings is great!

Throughout his many years in the company, Kaz has always acted in accordance with the theoretical logic that sacrifices that cannot bring victory to the battle group are meaningless.

Therefore, Ka Zhongtang has never encountered a situation where he had to blindly jump out of the subspace to escape when he was at his wit's end.

This resulted in Samar, the "Destroyer of the Hall," being completely unaware of how to organize a large-scale raid by the Chaos Warband.

Life in Chaos Astartes is tough.

The four gods assigned tasks, and you could do whatever you wanted without a navigator, but if you wanted to do something on your own, the fundamental laws of the warp would come into play.

There is no complete mapping relationship between the Sea of ​​Souls and the real universe!

Only when large-scale plundering is needed to make a living do the various Chaos Warbands call out "Brother Abaddon" with genuine emotion.

The Imperium of Man set up a series of permanent defensive fortifications called the Iron Wall of Cadian around the Eye of Terror. From the perspective of the loyalist Astartes, it always felt inadequate. Twenty chapters and billions of Astral Army soldiers had failed to block the Eye of Terror. Chaos traitors would come out to plunder the Imperium every now and then. Was this defense line made of paper?

But from the perspective of the Chaos Astartes, the Lich King's lackeys are really insane. Blocking the entrance with bunkers is one thing, but they're also interfering with warp teleportation. Are you guys crazy?!

Life is full of ups and downs, but everyone is trying their best to live.

Amaterasu is a highly skilled Chaos Wizard, capable of accurately locating psionic coordinates, and once helped Sobot escape.

However, even a top-tier spell like the Gate of Infinity couldn't open a portal large enough for a main warship to pass through. This wasn't a matter of ability, but rather that the Four Gods couldn't tolerate someone as powerful as a being existing in the warp.
