The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Perhaps it was because he had descendants in the true sense of the word that Soya began to examine these warriors he had personally trained with a father's mindset, experiencing a joy, pride, and worry he had never felt before.

If one day, he had to leave, could they take care of themselves?

If another person came to lead them, would that person cherish and value them as he did?

If they knew his other identity, realizing that their Chapter Master was never a perfect Astartes, even a traitor who consorted with aliens, would they despise, be angry, or disappointed?

Soya himself couldn't say, and could only bury these questions and worries in his heart. Afterwards, he inquired about the state of the Penitent Chapter. Bakhram indicated that everything was normal, and the 10th Company had teamed up with the Penitent's new recruit company to resolve a riot triggered by tithes, which also involved a Chaos cult.

Afterwards, Soya allowed Bakhram to take the 10th Company to rest for a while, and to communicate with the White Templars' new recruit company, while also adapting to some of the new equipment provided by Ulan Huda. After arranging all this, he left.

Returning to the Royal Court with a refreshed mood, Soya immediately received news.

Ilyyk Nightspear, the legendary Ranger of Aledoq, Aida's most outstanding infiltrator and ambusher, brought news about Beytan!

"People of Aledoq, Ilyyk Nightspear, greets Your Highness."

Inside the reception hall of the Privy Council, Ilyyk Nightspear stood on the scarlet carpet, above which the dome depicted the wrathful visage of the war god Kane. He then placed his beloved rifle on the ground, opened his arms, and bowed deeply with composure. Soya was also very tolerant of this long-established warrior, allowing him to bring weapons here.

This legendary ranger was wearing Aledoq's signature azure spirit bone armor, with a light brown, seemingly old trench coat. But this was no simple item, but an ancient relic called "God Hunter's Gaze," which allowed him to perform rapid maneuvers through short warp jumps like a dimensional spider. He also had some throwing knives, a short sword, and a small pistol hanging on his waist. His face also looked weathered, but his eyes were very sharp, and his pale long hair was tied into a high bun on top of his head.

The weapon he used was also very extraordinary, an ancient vortex rifle called the Void Bringer, which contained the soul of an ancient blacksmith Urdan Norris. When it hits an enemy, it can tear open a warp crack inside the enemy, and even throw them completely into the void, which is very overbearing.

"I have long admired Mr. Ilyyk's name. Seeing you today, you truly live up to it."

After the pleasantries, Soya immediately cut to the chase, because the Royal Court needed intelligence the most.

"Have you personally gone to Beytan to check it out?"

"Yes, I was already on my way there before the incident happened."

"Oh? Did you get the news in advance?"

Nightspear shook his head.

"It is news, but not this news. I received a request from an old friend in the Swordwind, who hoped that I would help investigate the situation in Ursulia."

Then he explained the situation of this world. Ursulia was a maiden world named after a famous beautiful girl in Aida's mythology. Although the world was small, it was covered with lush forests, and was famous in Aida society for its majestic thorn forest and towering tree cities. At the same time, this world also had many webway arches, one of which led to Beytan Ark.

However, such a world is destined to be the target of many forces. The elegant Ursulia has experienced many wars for thousands of years, which has caused its inhabitants to be in a very tense state, and the decision to seal it has been implemented dozens of times. In order to prevent invasion, Beytan Ark permanently closed the webway leading directly to the ark thousands of years ago.

However, theoretically, this route may be reopened.

So for thousands of years, Beytan has been guarding this secret world. They have assisted the residents above to repel the invasion of the Greenskins, the harassment of the Hrudd, and the conquest of the Empire, and firmly believe that this world will become one of the cornerstones of the Eldar's rise in the future. (Beytan likes to collect all kinds of virgin worlds.)

But not long ago, a warp storm suddenly enveloped this uninhabited virgin world. Nightmarish scenes bred on this world. The plants in the forest regained their senses and wandered in the wilderness. Poisonous fruits dripped heart-polluting venom and spewed hallucinogenic gas. Mutant lizard beasts covered with countless eyeballs and teeth from nose to tail wandered the wilderness. They not only defiled the planet's landscape, but also contaminated its spirit.

The local wild Eldar immediately tried to ask Beytan for help, but any information was blocked due to the warp storm.

Realizing that something was wrong, Beytan sent troops to investigate, but that team also disappeared without a trace. In this case, in order not to waste lives in vain, a commander in Beytan sent a request for help to Nightspear, hoping that he could investigate the abnormalities in Ursulia.

After all, only the most skilled rangers can walk in such a dangerous place.

Nightspear gladly accepted the request for help, but before he could reach Ursulia, Beytan received a warning from the Midnight Sorrow Troupe. It turned out that a Slaanesh demon was creating all the trouble, named the Masque, and she was trying to open the webway gate of Ursulia to invade Beytan.

So before Nightspear arrived, Beytan urgently sent troops, but they did not expect that the Masque was not doing things alone, she also "seduced" the mad Khorne Great Demon Scarraband to come together.

The Masque, a Slaanesh demon who was cursed by her master to keep dancing because she danced at an inopportune time, is trying to please her master and change her cursed fate. Beytan is her goal, but she knows that as a high-level Succubus, she does not have the power to open the guardian runes that seal the gate to Beytan, but she knows that there is a guy who can.

That is, Scarraband, who was also exiled by his master.

The Masque first deceived Scarraband's "feelings" with the fact that she was also exiled, and then made a bet with this once strongest Khorne Great Demon, betting on which of her Slaanesh army and Khorne army could win more Eldar heads, and the competition location was Ursulia.

Obviously, facing a Slaanesh Succubus who kept posing, Scarraband couldn't bear it, and was so excited that he raised his flag, so there was only one word——

War! (Close-up axe)

The demon army swarmed, and the resistance of the wild Eldar was instantly defeated, and soon corpses were everywhere, but Beytan's reinforcements also arrived soon.

Thanks to the third Emperor Guilliman's alliance leader!
