Chapter 283 Dark Art of War
Akorion is dead.

Eidolon is also dead.

Both sides of the Emperor's Children's civil war are a little confused.

But Fu Qinghai was not confused.

The Brotherhood of Gods surrounded and killed the last three noise fighters, quickly cut off Aidolon's head, took his powered thunder hammer, and immediately started teleporting to evacuate.

After a while, the Suzheng number will be gone.

The death of the two legion consuls paralyzed the command center of the Emperor's Children for a while, but the space warriors were not Orcs—the whole army collapsed as soon as the war boss died, and the legion consul (chapter leader) died, There are also layers of command chains of lieutenants (company commanders) and non-commissioned officers (squad leaders).

Fu Qinghai and the others were surrounded if they didn't leave.

At the same time, the Emperor's Children didn't dare to chase. They were wary of each other and couldn't work together. In addition, although it was close to the border, it still belonged to the empire's territory. Who knows if the white scars have called other imperial troops.

They're just here for slave capture + civil war.

Not here to start the Black Crusade.

The United Fleet left the galaxy smoothly.

Under the circumstances of restraining each other, the two teams of Emperor's Children could only watch White Scar leave with hatred.

……

Suzheng, the combat conference room.

Fu Qinghai is reviewing this battle.

The biggest harvest of this combat operation - Aidolon's head, has been handed over to special personnel.

Compared with the previous combat operations, this battle yielded very little. The space fighters killed 23 people, but only got seven gene seeds of the Emperor's Children-this is what Camille took time to collect in the midst of the hail of bullets and shells. of.

Qiao Shida thinks it is normal, war is not about business and business, achieving military goals is the primary goal, there is no reason to make a profit every time, Aidolon is the primary goal of this operation, and his head is in hand , the operation is considered a success.

However, the Brotherhood of God's Machine and the United Fleet are retreating in an orderly manner rather than in a rout. All the remains, armor, and guns of the space fighters killed in battle have been taken away, and the traitors will never be given a chance to touch them.

By the way, I took a set of Hades-type Terminator armor from the Phoenix Guard.

In fact, the naval strength of the Brotherhood of Gods is not limited to the two ships of Limema and Suzheng, but also three cruisers:

Two strike cruisers captured from the Night Lords, from the Smiling Lord and the Faceless Prince, both belonged to the Ruler-class conventional cruisers, and one light cruiser captured by the Night Lords from the Imperial Navy, the Defender-class escort cruiser.

But these warships that have just been seized from the enemy, the crews who operate them have become a big problem. Without a sufficient number of trustworthy mortal crews to operate the warships, it will be difficult to form combat effectiveness in the short term.

Facing the captives, Fu Qinghai did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He just ordered the crew members who served the traitor space fighters to be detained pending trial, while the plundered slaves were not dealt with for the time being.

If it were a religious fundamentalist battle group like the Black Templar, they might not even spare slaves.

Fu Qinghai is not a soft-hearted person, he just thinks it is a pity to kill him directly - it would be good to use it to infect the radiation corpse virus, or hand it over to Master Kunto as an experimental subject.

Taking the opportunity of post-war resumption, Fu Qinghai also told Camille and Lin Yu, the reincarnators, why it cost so much to hunt Aidolon.

Eidolon was also the second-in-command of the Emperor's Sons Legion, a legion consul whom Fulgrim trusted very much, had suffered from the blight of the Third Legion, and was also the first group of interstellar soldiers to accept Fabius Bayer's transformation. One of the fighters.

In fact, he is a sycophant, self-respecting, bullying and flattering, with high-sightedness and low-handedness...but he is still a space fighter with some strength. He was nicknamed "Golden Hammer" in the early days, because Aidolon is quite good at using weapons such as power thunder hammers. .

Aidolon really worshiped his Primarch in the early years, coupled with his brainless command and decision-making mistakes during the murder star campaign, it makes people feel that this person is purely kneeling and licking Fulgrim The same as the legionary consul.

Eidolon has technically died once.

During the Horus Rebellion, Aidolon asked Fulgrim: Why didn't he attack Terra directly but fooled the Iron Warriors to help him build a city of mirrors (actually a theater)?
At that time, Fulgan, who had completely degenerated and did whatever he wanted, didn't even bother to explain to him, and directly beheaded Ai Duolong with a sword, which vividly explained the truth of "Licking a dog will not lead to a good death". It was a joint operation that rescued Ai Duolong again.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos once reminded Thor to "remember to behead next time".But in fact, in the Warhammer 40K universe, many people can still live after losing their heads. Both Aidolon and "Bonebreaker" Sakala have enjoyed the treatment of joint surgery. Both of them are famous "joint overlords" in Warhammer 40K. ".

Strictly speaking, the bone crushing operation was a head replacement operation, with a bigger, stronger, and waaagh body, and Aidolon's joint surgery brought a lot of side effects: from time to time, he would twitch and salivate, The behavior is also a little weird...

However, the Bonebreaker is an Orc after all, and his innate physical condition of half plant and half animal is much stronger than that of space warriors in this respect.The success of Eidolon's connection is due to the "gene ancestor" Fabius Bayer, and the "green-skinned crazy doctor" Goznik, who changed the head of the bonebreaker, is still slightly inferior in comparison.Because other pain boys with superb skills can also perform head replacement surgery, but the success rate of orc medicine is more metaphysical.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that the content of the discussion between Fu Qinghai and Camille gradually deviated from the topic, from "post-war summary review" all the way to "surgery research", Qiao Shida couldn't help coughing lightly, reminding the two who chatted more and more vigorously .

"Well, Camille will take care of the heads of Nacred and Aidolon. We will send the Rogue Trader to the Five Hundred Worlds first, and then return to the Marquez Wangxing area."

Fu Qinghai retracted the topic and made arrangements for the future itinerary.

Camille said with some embarrassment:

"I've never dealt with this kind of head."

Camille is a doctor of surgery, not a forensic doctor. The way they deal with experimental samples is usually to soak them in formalin, but the swollen skulls soaked in the two liquid medicines obviously don't meet Qingshan Khan's requirements.

At this moment, Kalamanda who was sitting next to him suddenly interrupted and said:
"My lord, I will take care of it and make sure to keep their heads in the expression they had before they died, which is lifelike."

"It seems that the Night Lord is really good at this."

Fu Qinghai's tone was a little sarcastic, and he nodded:

"Okay, then leave it to you, don't break it for me."

Before the Midnight Lords launched their rebellion, they were very fond of hanging and binding the enemy's bone parts on the armor. They used it as a way to exaggerate terror. Skeletons, human skins, and beads on joints... the spirit race with green skin There are also human ones.

Kalamanda's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to understand the irony in the words. It wasn't until Fu Qinghai was about to announce the end of the meeting that Kalamanda said:
"As a reward for disposing of the skull, I would like to speak to you alone, if possible, my lord."

Fu Qinghai turned to look at him.

"can."

……

In the combat conference room, only Fu Qinghai and Kalamanda were left.

Fu Qinghai sat down leisurely and said:
"Actually, you don't need to call me 'Master'. You and I are both company commanders, and our military ranks are the same."

"That was the rank awarded to me by the Eighth Army, and now...the Eighth Army is gone."

Kalamanda said lightly.

"So, what do you want to tell me?"

Fu Qinghai knocked on the table and asked.

"I want to join your company, Khan."

Kalamanda said.

This seemed a little difficult for a company commander and veteran who had fought in all directions, but Kalamanda still said it, and the night bat warrior had a serious expression.

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:
"If you want to repay my kindness for treating your disability, then there is no need. This is just my reward for a loyal warrior who dared to violate the Primarch. It's just a small effort."

"No." Kalamanda shook her head:
"I want to fight again, Khan."

When he said this, his pale and bloodless face and his pitch-black eyes were revealing firmness.

Fu Qinghai tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, raised his head, and said:
"I also have a lot of gene seeds of the Night Lords in my hand now, but actually... To be honest, I don't like the fighting style of the Eighth Legion, Kalamanda."

"Fear is a means, Khan."

Kalamanda did not completely deny the legion he once belonged to because of Fu Qinghai's views and his identity as a loyalist. He looked into Fu Qinghai's eyes seriously and said word by word:

"The Judgment is a black-sheathed blade that has been slain, and the galaxy cannot be taken by noble purpose alone. There must be terror behind the golden light, otherwise, the stars will never be tamed."

"This is the original words of Malcador the Handprinter, my lord."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.

This may also be the purpose of Malcador's creation of the Assassin's Court and the Inquisition.

"The Emperor knows when and under what circumstances to send the Eighth Legion."

"We enforce the justice in our hearts, Khan, we never care what other legions say. Dorn, Guilliman, who cares about the gossip of those model sons? What we can handle, they will never be able to handle! We Enemies that can be dealt with, they will never be able to deal with!"

Kalamanda spoke forcefully and confidently.

Turning the subject, he said again:

"But those traitors, including my Primarch, who have defiled this 'justice', they have completely fallen into the abyss and quagmire of whatever they please, this is why I spurn them, they have betrayed the oath of the 'Nightborne' .”

"Um……"

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.

Though similar in appearance—both pale and dark-eyed—Kalamanda differed from the inarticulate Satfarlane, who was able to express his thoughts and ideas in his heart with emotional words and poetic rhetoric.

The words of the night bat company commander are not unreasonable.

The Night Lords of the Eighth Legion, to put it bluntly, are dedicated to doing dirty work for the Emperor. Does the Emperor know the virtues of these guys?The places where the Emperor sends the Night Lords are places with deep-rooted cult traditions, or places where rebellion continues after submission.

But as soon as the Night Lord goes... sometimes even before he goes, the people of these places just hear the news and obey.

Conquered by the horrors of the Eighth Legion.

Building a view of the capital, picking people's skins, lighting sky lanterns, and so on are all trivial tricks for the Midnight Lords. They have more cruel punishments and intimidation methods.

Konrad Curze also fulfilled the tasks entrusted to him by the emperor very well in the early days, but the Primarch, who was tortured by prophecies and hallucinations, suffered from deteriorating mental condition, and finally embarked on a path of complete depravity. The road of no return.

Kalamanda also mentions the "Night Children", the precursor to the Night Lords Legion.

In the era of the unification war of Terra, the prisoners who were imprisoned in the underground prison of ancient Terra were the descendants of the continuous multiplication for thousands of years. They were born to adapt to the low-light environment, and their actions were silent. They called themselves "Son of the Night", It is the source of the earliest composition of the Eighth Army.

"So, you are Terran?"

Fu Qinghai asked.

"Yes, Khan."

Kalamanda nodded.

"very good."

Fu Qinghai stood up and said:

"You finally convinced me, Latani Kalamanda, welcome to the ranks of the Brotherhood of the Divine Machine."

"Go to the medical deck first to find the pharmacist Camille, he will complete a new all-alienated transformation operation for you, if you are lucky enough to survive, then go to the arsenal to get a set of MK8 chaos-type power armor, pick a few pieces conveniently weapons."

"By the way, Satfaran is also of Terran descent, so you may have some common language."

……

In the circle of fans of Warhammer 40K, there are many fans of the Midnight Lords, because the author responsible for the official novel of the Midnight Lords is very good, and he portrays this group of tragic warriors who spurn the empire and chaos at the same time very well.

But there is a logic here: it is like a good person who has done a bad thing all his life and is reviled by others, while a bad person who has been a bad person for a lifetime is loved by people for doing a good thing once.

The Night Lord is the typical brutal, surly, neurotic super-asshole who is endeared for his occasional displays of reason and compassion.

But their essence is still a group of scum and scum interstellar warriors who do all kinds of evil and have no conscience. This is true before and after the rebellion.

In the early years, the Raven Guard of the Nineteenth Legion was not only similar in appearance, but also similar to the Night Lords in other aspects, but meeting different Primarchs led to different endings. There's nothing like the "laughing bat" insanity of that.

But like Kalamanda said.

The Night Lords are worthy of their existence.

There are dark and dirty corners in the galaxy that require darker and crueler guys to deal with.
