The Astartes Family's Notebook

"Can we talk now?"

Kaz didn't say anything, he just took off his tactical helmet.

"You'd better be joking."

The second company commander was no longer calm.

“I told you to have Lord Saladin come, but you didn’t believe me.”

"You think you can just order the Chapter Master around like that on your first day as an Astartes?"

"Isn't that so?"

"no!"

"Really not?"

"It is possible."

Mengsk also took off his helmet and opened his arms to give Katz a big hug.

"The warband has been searching for you for over a hundred years, what's going on?"

"It's a long story. I suggest you call the battle leader over. It's really troublesome."

One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade. More than a hundred years have passed since Katz started the chain of gas stations in the border free trade zone, and the results have been quite fruitful.

Now, the Desolate Wings, guarding the subspace hub of Haven, earn trillions of Throne Credits annually just from transit fees.

That's one good thing about Astartes; they're stubborn and the veterans of the chapter haven't forgotten the Karz brothers' contributions.

The only problem is that after the Starfield Government's finances recovered, there were signs of them bringing up old issues, and now the Desolate Wings are no longer the undisputed champions of Hydraf.

After Kaz was taken away by the judge, the Eighth Company immediately returned to Haven Star to report the matter. The warband leader Saladin did not hesitate and immediately went to Hildraf to demand an explanation.

But Warp voyages are a signature feature of the Warhammer universe, and you absolutely have to try them!

The Angel of Redemption later sent people to Sidrafor to investigate, but the matter was also dropped.

Now, hearing Katz recount what happened back then, Mengsk was instantly overwhelmed.

Hey D, who talks business without wearing a helmet? Are you trying to fish for us?

"I understand the situation. This matter really requires the battle commander to come in person; it is indeed quite troublesome."

Mengsk thought for a moment and then asked the most crucial question.

"How did you end up associating with the Blood Ravens?"

"It's blood duck."

"what?"

"The Duck of Holy Blood".

"what!"

"Brother, knowing too much only adds to your troubles. Let Lord Saladin worry about these things."

"Fine, you don't want to tell me it's okay, but loyalty checks are unavoidable. Be prepared."

"I have a clear conscience, so I'll use any means necessary."

"hehe......"

Originally, Mengsk intended to take Kaz back to Haven, but after learning that the Redemption Angels were involved and that the Black Knight needed to mediate, he stopped insisting.

Back and forth, another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

As the Blade of Radiance, the battle barge of the Desolate Wings, reached near-Earth orbit, Kars finally felt a sense of relief.

"All platoons, tidy your appearance."

Kaz didn't say anything to the Blood Duck Warband members, but the veterans of the warband had already guessed some of it.

"Should I go too?"

Taliman was somewhat conflicted.

"The Milky Way is vast, but the chances of getting ashore are few. Without the protection of the warband, you'll be killed sooner or later."

Having survived the last death, the old apothecary has come to terms with it: life is the emperor's currency, and how it's spent is up to the emperor.

Since that's the case, then let's go.

So, after Kaz and his brothers boarded the battle barge, the long-unseen Chapter Commander Saladin had a rather strange expression on his face.

"Oh, it's our Eighth Company Commander."

"I wouldn't dare. Kaz is just a lowly soldier under the command of the chapter leader."

Qiong En was completely confused. What was this "Kaz"? What was Samar up to?

"Kaz Samar, do you realize how serious this problem is?"

Faced with Saladin's question, Kaz didn't waste any words and directly took out the data panel and respectfully handed it over.

"What, you want to take it... You must have had a long journey."

The desolate wings chapter has a corrupt atmosphere, and successive chapter leaders bear the responsibility for this.

The meeting, which had initially been somewhat tense, was resolved when Saladin patted Kaz on the shoulder twice.

The leader of the battle group did not doubt Kars' loyalty; he was simply angry about what he did.

When it comes to assigning tasks to superiors, Karz of the entire Wasteland claims to be number one, and no one dares to claim second place.

Karz wrote a proposal in the development zone, then packed his bags and went to jail. Saladin, on the other hand, was stuck on Haven for over a hundred years without moving. So what if the warband leader is a little resentful? So what if he wields a little power? So what if he gives Karz a hard time?

Saladin had to admit that the four-seed gene was indeed something special.

That's fucking despicable.

Just because Katz couldn't handle many problems and Mengsk couldn't solve them doesn't mean Saladin is incapable.

Now that the person has returned, a loyalty check is inevitable.

"What are you going to do with all these... these people you brought back?"

"Use them if they can be used, kill them if they can't."

"Can you really be ruthless?"

"Follow the orders of the battle group leader."

"roll."

Okay.

Loyalty checks are actually not that complicated or difficult to perform. They are like the Great Soul Search Technique, which has both scientific and mystical aspects.

Katz doesn't resist sitting on the tiger bench, nor does he mind drinking the vomit water; he can even lie in the life support pod for a brainwave test.

With such full cooperation, his innocence was quickly proven...

It's hard to say.

[The Blade of Destruction] Samar, what a prestigious name!

"Kaz, tell me honestly, did you betray us?"

"No, I killed several hundred Chaos traitors, who would dare to take me in?"

After a moment's thought, the warband leader Saladin told him some breaking news.

"In the Great Vortex region, a new chaotic force has emerged, led by the Chaos Astartes, who call themselves the 'Blade of Annihilation' Samar."

"???"

Plagiarism, blatant plagiarism! Someone has violated intellectual property rights!

Chapter 481 Pure Bloodline

To sum up all the nonsense in the Warhammer universe, it's basically just Love and Deepspace.

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

More than a hundred years have passed and the Wings of Desolation are still undergoing warband maintenance, remaining in a state of "repair and maintenance".

Is that correct?

That's pretty normal, I'd say.

After all, the human empire has lasted for ten thousand years, and there is still no Astartes that has died of old age.

Why did the Wings of Desolation go from being the Pacific Star Region government's darling to becoming estranged sisters?

The root cause is not the interests of the five star sectors in the border development zone.

To be honest, the Star Region Government isn't that petty.

The root of the problem lies in the fact that the Wings of Desolation have entered a period of recuperation.

Almost every star system government has its own local warbands, one or several.

It wasn't actually the Holy Terra from the Sun Sector that started it; the Minotaur Chapter just had a big reputation and used dirty tricks. If we're talking about the lifespan of the Grey Gloves, it's probably the Pacific Sector that has had the longest.

Later, the pioneers of the Wastewing Chapter fought their way up to earn the right to be "locals".

We need to get to work.

Hydrafar's love wasn't unwarranted; he gave you, Desolate Wings, many underhanded benefits, hoping you would get things done.

Normally, with the support of the Star Region Government, the wounds should heal within a hundred years.

However, the warband commander Saladin firmly held his men in check, because the 26th army-building campaign was imminent, and this was a major event.

The last time the army was established, the Desolate Wings suffered a loss. All their claims of having shed blood for the Empire and made contributions to the star system were useless. They received twenty gene seeds and a cruiser, and were then dismissed.

This incident was written down in the notebook by the then-commander of the battle group. We should be ashamed and learn from this lesson!

Therefore, even under immense political pressure, Saladin remained steadfast in his resolve.

Stop with the nonsense. Everyone knows what kind of people the men of Holy Terra are. The more they talk about benefits, the richer their families seem to be. The more they talk about sacrifices, the weaker their factions become.

These days, all sorts of rumors are flying around in the Astartes circle, and the White Scars have also been spreading gossip, all within these few decades.

The founding groups are ultimately different. Every time Astartes establishes an army and splits into subgroups, it is ultimately impossible to avoid these factional parent groups.

The Wings of Desolation have paid the "blood tax" to White Scars, making them a trustworthy little brother. So, don't underestimate the value of the few words of information from Chogoris.

Why?

This was arguably the darkest moment for the loyalist Astartes Chapter of the Empire.

The most optimistic estimate of the number of loyal Astartes still alive in the entire galaxy is less than 400,000.

Literally, it means a scarce commodity.

Otherwise, would Hydrafar have been able to use his power and tricks to force the Wasteland Wings to do their jobs?

Take it easy, stay calm, get through this hurdle, and the benefits will be huge!

Saladin launched into a tirade of abuse at Kaz.

"I can let other things go, but using the Redemption Angels' gene seed to train new recruits? Don't you know that gene seeds can be sequenced?"

"what!?"

"While both the thoracic and sublarynx glands are genetic seeds, there are subtle differences that can be measured, you idiot!"

"this......"

Kaz really didn't know about this. Nobody taught him any of this when he was receiving training as a company commander in Haven.

"or......"

"Are you serious?"

"I am first and foremost a part of the Desolation Wings, and only secondly, Chapter Master. I know the difference."

"I am very disappointed in you. Those were new recruits you trained, and you killed them without hesitation."

"Commander, what did you say? I mean, how about we keep those ten gene seeds for ourselves?"

Kaz, you son of a bitch!
