The Astartes Family's Notebook

However, Darius was getting anxious. "Company commander, are you being foolish? The guys need your help and you're not asking for an exorbitant amount. They'll turn their backs on you later!"

But Ashtor also had something to say: how much profit could a military airman make? He might as well do him a favor.

Katz is currently unaware of the series of events that have occurred, and the gloomy little story of Urdsh is yet to be continued.

Lord Chapter Master of the White Sons has finally been steeped in the dregs of the Warhammer universe.

In the M2-3 era, attacking friendly forces without warning was a serious crime, punishable by a military court.

However, in the M41 era, Astartes had already been elevated to the status of a demigod by the state religion in terms of political status. Judges who were not of a high enough rank were not qualified to mediate conflicts between the denominations. Who would judge Kars and who would supervise a leading figure among the demigods?

Self-monitoring is the best approach, of course.

Katz was a man of the rule of law; the judges were ready, the clerks from other courts were notified, and the jury of the oil enthusiasts was also called in.

Everyone in the courtroom except the defendant was summoned by me. Who is this person in the courtroom who dares to sue me?

In fact, Kaz didn't need to go through all this trouble. He made a mistake, so what? How many loyal people had died unjustly in the Empire? The Minotaur Chapter had done even worse things, the Space Sharks had done it, the Steel Hand had done it, the Dark Angels did it every few days, and even the Black Templars had done their fair share of things.

What, can't we, the Pure White Children, do it?

Isn't this bullying honest people?

However, faced with the advice of the White Scars Legion, Kaz told the truth.

"I know that if you do something cleanly, it's fine, but if you make a big fuss, you're just asking for trouble. The imperial legal process is very complicated, and this case might not be resolved even if I'm dead for hundreds of years."

"However, it's a pity that the Red Viper clue was only used once."

White Scar's advice was well-intentioned, and Kaz also understood how terrible it was to follow "normal procedures" in the Empire.

However, General Kaspersky is ruthless and unscrupulous.

If the Whirlpools find out that Oberyn Martell's suit has been removed, they definitely won't use it anymore.

But if you take the trouble upon yourself and downplay the issue of baiting and fishing as a conflict between imperial factions, there's a good chance there will be a next time.

"To kill or to destroy the spirit?"

"Why would I kill someone if not to destroy their spirit?"

The Shadowflame Warband members never expected those Imperial loyalists to act so recklessly. Without questioning or negotiation, they immediately dispatched the Terminator 100-man squad.

What's even more outrageous is that these "sons of the white" have already gotten everything they wanted, yet they still want to hold a trial.

Something wrong?

Our Ah Fa may not be good at anything else, but his ability to fabricate stories and give false testimony is top-notch.

Thus, in the barbaric and ignorant galaxy of Purgatory, in the human empire where civilization had regressed significantly, and in Urdsh, which had only been reclaimed from the Chaos warlords a few years prior, a courtroom debate became big news in high society.

Note that it is a debate, not a discussion.

Katz accuses Oberyn Martell of infiltrating the enemy ranks, while Oberyn Martell accuses the Son of the White of attacking allies.

The war of words was quite a spectacle.

Even Balhout heard about the Astartes lawsuit, and tickets for the spectator seats were in high demand—a huge victory for the scalpers!

Are you bored out of your mind, Commander?

Haha, when it comes to evil, what's the essential difference between the Empire and Chaos? The elder brother has the Golden Throne, and the younger brother has the Bronze Throne.

Hey guys, wake up! Kars's playing you guys!

This farce has nothing to do with fairness or justice. Katz just wanted to spread the word and use that strike cruiser as bait.

As expected, thanks to the "righteous words" of the White Scar and Silver Guard, Katz's attempt to embezzle the assets of his "friendly forces" was thwarted.

The strike cruiser was "seized" by the oil enthusiast and sent to the dock for repairs and storage. The conflict between Oberyn Martell and the Son of the White was "transferred" to Chogoris for a larger-scale "public trial."

The mortals had finished enjoying their entertainment, and the Chaos spies had also spread the information.

"Have you heard? There's some idiot warband in the Empire called the Pure White Sons, who's actually trying to resolve this through legal means."

From Sabat to the Great Vortex, the name of the Child of Pure White spread throughout the Chaos Realm.

On the judge's black ship, the real trial only begins after the farce has ended.

“Kaz brothers, I must remind you, if they are truly innocent, your crimes will be very serious.”

White Scar has truly been incredibly kind to his little brother's group, even sending the Storm Priest over.

"If I'm really wrong, I can just go to Deathwatch to atone for my sins."

Haha, Deathwatch has taken in quite a few troublesome company commanders over the years, but never a warband commander. Kaz, are you about to make history?

In a world where gods exist, there's no need for painstakingly collecting evidence for judgments. Kars said the Red Viper are all cunning; all that's needed is to prove they have the corruption of Chaos.

Upon hearing this, the Afas instantly felt that their chance to turn the tide had arrived.

Kaz, you underestimate us Alpharis. Since we've decided to use the guise of the Loyalists to fish in troubled waters, how could we possibly choose brothers with obvious signs of Chaos corruption?

You're asking for trouble with that perfect start.

Well, with this whole mess, our disguised Red Viper squad now has Imperial certification, which is a good thing!

Afa's leader believed he was fine and readily accepted the purification examination conducted by the Storm Priests of the White Scars Chapter.

The judges also recruited powerful psionicists from the expeditionary force.

It looks like Katz is about to crash and burn.

However, never doubt the abstract nature of chaotic forces.

It's true that the Shadowflame are part of the Alpharis faction, and it's also true that the Alpharis generally don't side with the Four Gods.

However, as the saying goes, "a large forest has all kinds of birds," and after the Storm Priest unleashed the Warband Relic, the situation spiraled out of control.

Holy crap, the demon within me!

Holy crap, an enchanted warrior?

For warp demons to exist in the real universe for an extended period, they need to be possessed.

And the mind of Astartes is the best vessel.

It's not a big deal for two demons to infiltrate the Shadowflame Warriors, but the fact that a shapeshifter and a Khorne-enchanted warrior were forced out by the White Scar Relic is...

How should I describe it? As expected of the Twentieth Legion, whose loyalty and treachery are hard to distinguish, their performance art is truly top-notch.

Even the gang leader was stunned. They'd agreed to remain in the Chaos faction forever, how could this be...?

Could there be something between the lady and the loving father?

No, no, it's not that bad, it really isn't.

White Scars, as a founding member, was a member of the main force, a think tank trained by Chogoris. This storm priest with a thick beard was truly capable, wielding a holy artifact and directly using the Five Thunderbolts to deliver the transformed spirit that had broken free of his body.

But that Khorne-enchanted warrior is more troublesome.

Hmm, more...

Kaz was only three hundred years old, in the prime of his life, and he reacted instinctively without hesitation—to kill those heretics and demons!

Then I realized that I was actually a little outmatched.

what's going on?

A naked Astartes with its power armor stripped off is this strong!

"The flag is coming!"

Upon hearing the chapter leader's command, the stretcher bearers, carrying the chapter's sacred banner, prepared to rush to the rescue. However, Kaz snatched the sacred white banner, and the brothers from the branch who were about to stand in front of him were directly sent flying.

No, that's not how it works, Kars brothers. This thing has been lurking for so long, and although the warp power it has accumulated is enormous, it's ultimately like a tree without roots or water without a source. Just shoot it and drag it out until its power diminishes, then it'll be easier to fight.

However, although the Storm Priest appeared calm and collected after receiving the Transformation Spirit, he was actually expending a great deal of mana. In the short time it took him to catch his breath and before he could even speak, Kaz had already replicated the famous painting "Liberty Leading the People" and started performing a jumping attack while holding up the sacred banner.

No, dear Chapter Commander, we are currently in space, inside the Inquisitor's Black Ship, you...

shallow!

The warband leader is always right; if they are wrong, refer to the previous text!

The enchanted warrior was unarmed and unarmored, but he was simple-minded, strong, and quick-witted. Kaz, after the thing grabbed the power sword's blade, decisively let go, covered its face with a relic, used the momentum to lock the arm holding the power sword upside down, and took it down with a self-sacrificing back throw. He then mounted it and unleashed a barrage of straight punches.

The scene was so cruel that even the Afa of the Shadow Flame were stunned.

That's a Chapter Relic Banner! You're using it like this?!

Just kidding, it's something that's immortal for ten thousand years, it's incredibly sturdy!!!

It's unclear whether the Holy White Banner suppressed the enchanted warrior's warp power, but anyway, after blood flowed down the crack and covered the ground, Kaz stomped on the enchanted warrior's forearm, retrieved his power sword, and then grabbed the banner and tore open the package.

The loyalist Astartes are extremely cruel; it is recommended that underage warp demons watch with caution under the supervision of a guardian.

However, even with its head smashed, this thing wasn't completely dead yet, and it's unclear what organ it was that could still make a sound.

"The curtain has been torn, chaos will rise, and the [Destroyer's Blade] will not let you go, hahahahaha."

Once he caught his breath, the Storm Priest unleashed a Palm Lightning strike that completely annihilated the warp evil.

Then everyone present fell into an eerie silence.

"If... I say I didn't know, would you believe me?"

Alpha's leader was exasperated. He was on guard against his own people day and night, but it was hard to guard against a traitor within his own ranks. Even Alpha, who infiltrated other forces every day, was one day infiltrated by someone else.

"Go and say your words of repentance to the Emperor. I can't guarantee you'll get to see him."

Chaos is the absolute red line...

Being caught red-handed having ties with Chaos is an absolute red line for the Empire; those Afas are doomed.

In our human empire, the testimony of the dead is much easier to obtain than the confession of the living.

Kars didn't use his "real" methods because he was doubtful about the possibility that the other party was indeed Oberyn Martell.

Now that's settled, with irrefutable evidence, we've conducted soul-searching, brain-opening, and brain-analysis. Faced with undeniable facts, any means are permissible.

Then the little brain gave a quick suck and said, "Oh, so you're the Flames of Shadows."

The judge was naturally in charge of finishing things up, and he got all the credit for that.

White Scar never expected things to turn out this way. He rested in Urdish for two days with Katz's souvenirs before leaving.

So, aside from having twenty extra gene seeds, Kaz didn't even take the power armor; he let the Storm Priest take it away.

The lack of a reliable think tank means that loyalists are not traitors to chaos, and confiscated equipment cannot be used recklessly.

The Silver Guardians initially thought it was just a formality, but they were surprised to actually receive five gene seeds. Although they belonged to Alpharis, using them to pay the seed tax was still a great thing.

With witnesses and physical evidence, the facts are clear, and it's an ironclad case. Katz has been completely cleared of the accusation of attacking his allies.

However, the message that was spread was still that the Son of Pure White, this branch of the Empire, was ruthless and lacked martial ethics.

The mysterious Chaos War Clan's intelligence network spread so quickly that the joke Alpharis made soon spread throughout the Sabat Chaos circle, and even showed a tendency to spread towards the Great Vortex.

However, Katz didn't care about any of that.

I knew long ago that someone was causing trouble in the Great Vortex under the banner of "The Blade of Destruction," but...

"Boss..."

"Oh, it's the fallen angels."

"Katz, are you really the Blade of Destruction?"

"Taliman brothers, what are you suspecting?"

It's no wonder that Taliman privately sought confirmation from Kaz. Although the members of the Warband who joined during the Blood Duck era had heard more or less about the great reputation that "Sama the Destroyer" had made in the Warp, they had never experienced the glory of Kaz's ability to wipe out entire factions and destroy entire gangs during the Stick of Truth era.

Therefore, Taliman suspects that Kars is actually just using the name of "Destroyer of Destruction".

But what do you want Kaz to do?

It's me, it's me, it really is me, I am the real [Destroyer of Destruction]!

No way!

“It’s nothing. We judge by actions, not intentions. Of course I believe you, Brother Kaz, are loyal.”

So what exactly are you trying to say?

"No, I just came to browse..."

Taliman had a thousand words to say, but found himself unable to utter a single one, so he made up a lame excuse and left.
