Chapter 55 The Son of Change
The same thing happened to almost every large battleship in the fleet.

Wearing red and blue power armor and hyperbolic horned helmets, the Chaos Astartes, organized in nine-man squads, appeared out of thin air one after another Imperial warships for no reason, and carried out planned and systematic killings silently.

They used the flesh and blood of the empire's soldiers to carry out a sacrilegious ritual, summoning the descending of Chaos demons.The big ships lost control and fell into the hands of the enemy.These warships that were out of the control of the empire continued to attack the small warships following them on the left and right sides without any hesitation, and used the chaos that exploded from the inside to knock the imperial fleet moored near the emperor's icon dizzy.

They couldn't react at all, and they couldn't understand why the enemy could attack from the inside with such a grand battle and such a tight defense.How on earth did they get into an Imperial battleship that had to go through strict checks both when entering and leaving?
If the fall of one or two warships can be explained by the enemy's invasion, the loss of control of a warship of this size can only be defined as a rebellion.

The marines who reacted quickly organized themselves. They moved and maneuvered inside the battleship, skillfully using their own equipment and flesh and blood to counter the ferocious shipboard defensive firepower. They gradually approached the control room with extremely tragic casualties, trying to regain control of the battleship from the traitors.

On the flagship of the Repenting Fire Chapter, the fighting was particularly brutal.The blasphemous act of smashing the Emperor's icon by the battleship's main guns ignited the rage of every Space Marine, not least of all Chapter Master Mirak's reaction.

He was standing in the control room of the battleship Penitent Fire when the mutation occurred, thus witnessing the horrific betrayal firsthand.

The Chaos Astartes who emerged from the shadows were so numerous that they outnumbered even the existing strength of the Penitent Fire Chapter.Ten years of recuperation failed to replenish them with many soldiers, and the status of the battleship Repentance Fire was so important that this dilapidated battle group, which had suffered heavy casualties and had its establishment destroyed, had to face the main attack of the Chaos traitors on its flagship.

At this moment, no one needs to be reminded. Mirak already understands that this is not a temporary chaos attack, but a premeditated large-scale attack. The enemy's actions are extremely rigorous, and their goal is very clear. They are aiming at destroying the L-star gate located on the left hand of the emperor's icon.

Fortunately, due to the existence of Chapter Master Mirak and his Honor Guard, the Repentance Fire did not really lose control. The first wave of sneak attacks by the traitors on the battleship's command room ended in failure under the heroic combat of the space fighters.

But they still took the core reactor in the belly of the battleship and the stable anchor that controlled the balance of the battleship through infiltration, which was not guarded by the space warriors, so they forcibly awakened the main gun and launched a profane shot that destroyed the head of the icon.

Facing such shame and humiliation, even the Chapter Master, known for his calmness and wisdom, lost his mind. He led his Honor Guard to wipe out the Chaos Astartes who attempted to invade the command room, and learned the name of this Chaos Battleband from their armor.

They are the warband of the Chaos Astartes who worship the evil god Tzeentch, and their names are:

Son of Change.

They came with chaos, throwing up the well-arranged fleet of the Imperial fleet.In the dim space, it is impossible to distinguish friend from foe. Whether it is controlled or out of control, every warship is spraying rumble of artillery fire to the surrounding ships.

After clearing the area around the battleship's command room, Mirak quickly led the team to the battleship's core reactor occupied by the remnants of the Sons of Change.

The Emperor's loyal warriors were consumed with rage, their swords thirsted for blood, their guns buzzed and roared, vowing to slay the vile traitor.

Mirak swore in his heart that the blood of the Dark Angels would never suffer the humiliation of betrayal for the second time...

However, in this anger, Mirak still forced himself to maintain a certain degree of rationality. While fighting, he set aside part of his mind to think about a more critical question:

"The Chaos Astartes invasion on such a scale was definitely not caused by external forces alone. Someone in the fleet had already fallen into chaos and acted as their internal response... But if you want to directly hide so many rebels in so many warships, that traitor must be a high-ranking person, or hold some unknown special authority..."

Or, there are more than one or two traitors, or even more than ten or eight...

Suspicious names flashed in Mirak's mind, and he clenched the power sword in his hand and walked quickly through the dark corridor because the energy line was cut off.

Except for the Repentant Fire, bloody battles also took place on every warship that was invaded. With unparalleled guilt and anger, the loyalists fought endlessly with the enemies who invaded the ship.

But the huge Legion of Martyrs in the past has long been split up, and 2/3 of the legion's strength followed the prophetess back to Nirvana, and also took away all the space warriors except the fire of repentance.

Without the righteousness of resurrecting the Emperor, today's human empire would never allow the Astartes Legion-level military power to be assembled.

The naval soldiers on the battleships can only fight the Chaos Astartes blessed by the evil gods and the summoned warp demons with the flesh and blood of mortals.

This may not be called a battle at all, it is completely a one-sided bloody massacre.

The combat power of the Astartes is undeniably crushing for mortals, coupled with the blessing of chaos forces and the assistance of summoned demons... But the imperial navy on the battleship is not completely without a chance of victory.

Although the chaos that exploded from the large battleships was huge, the actual number of Chaos Astartes forces that appeared did not seem to be too large. Each large battleship was only invaded by a 9-member Astartes squad. It was just that their distribution was too scattered and even, catching the Imperial fleet by surprise.

These chaotic Astartes called "Children of Change" often don't like to fight head-on with the mortals who kill them, but prefer to drive the demons to complete this chaotic killing without any rules, while they hide behind and wait for the opportunity to make a short shot.

Just as Father Nurgle has two sides of life and death at the same time, each side has followers with different ideas.

What the Sons of Change worship is the infinite wisdom of the evil god Tzeentch that includes all changes, and pursues a perfect victory that has no unexpected variables at all and everything is under control.

They want to dedicate the most precise victory to the Lord of Change, in order to gain the favor of the Chaos God.
