Infinite Metaverse

Acolleone is dead.

Eidolon is also dead.

Both sides of the Emperor's Children civil war were a bit confused.

But Fu Qinghai was not confused.

The Shenji Brotherhood surrounded and killed the last three Noise Warriors, quickly cut off Eidolon's head, took his power thunder hammer, and then immediately started teleportation to evacuate.

If we delay for a while longer, Su Zhenghao will be gone.

The death of the two Legion Archons briefly paralyzed the Emperor's Children's command center for a while, but the Space Marines were not Orks - the entire army collapsed as soon as the war boss died, and the Legion Archons (chapter master) died, There are also layers of command chains such as lieutenants (company commanders) and non-commissioned officers (captains).

Fu Qinghai and others will be surrounded if they don't leave.

At the same time, the Emperor's Children did not dare to pursue them. They were wary of each other and could not work together. In addition, although this place was close to the border, it still belonged to the Empire's territory. Who knew if the White Scars had called out other Imperial troops.

They are just here to capture slaves + civil war.

Not here to launch a black crusade.

The combined fleet left the system successfully.

With the two teams of Emperor's Children constraining each other, they could only watch the White Scar leave with regret.

…

Su Zhenghao, combat conference room.

Fu Qinghai is reviewing this battle.

The biggest harvest of this combat operation - Eidolon's head, has been handed over to a special person for processing.

Compared with the previous combat operations, the gains from this battle were very small. Twenty-three Space Marines died in the battle, but only seven gene seeds of the Emperor's Children were obtained - and this was when Camille was under a hail of bullets and artillery fire. Collected in time.

Qiao Shida thought it was normal. War is not about business. Achieving military goals is the primary goal. There is no guarantee of profit every time. Eidolon is the primary target of this operation, and his head is obtained. Here, this operation is considered a success.

However, the Brotherhood of God and the Machine and the United Fleet retreated in an orderly manner rather than in a rout. The remains, armors, and firearms of all the Space Marines who died in the battle were all taken away, and the traitors were absolutely not given a chance to get their hands on them.

By the way, I took away a set of Phoenix Guards' Hades-type Terminator armor.

The naval power of the Shenji Brotherhood actually consists of two ships: Liema and Suzheng. In addition, there are three cruisers:

Two captured Night Lords strike cruisers, the Smiling Lord and the Faceless Prince, both Dominator-class regular cruisers, and one Midnight Lords-captured light cruiser from the Imperial Navy, the Defender-class escort cruiser.

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

In the face of prisoners, Fu Qinghai did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He only ordered those crew members who served the traitorous Space Marines to be imprisoned pending trial, and the plundered slaves were not processed for the time being.

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

Fu Qinghai was not a merciful person, he just felt that it would be a pity to kill him directly - it would be good to infect him with the radiation zombie virus, or to hand him over to Master Quinto to be used as an experimental subject.

Taking advantage of the post-war review opportunity, Fu Qinghai also told Samsaras such as Camille and Lin Yu why it cost so much to hunt Eidolon.

Eidolon was also the second-in-command of the Emperor's Children Legion. He was a Legion Archon whom Fulgrim trusted very much. He had survived the blight of the Third Legion, and he was also among the first batch of stars to be transformed by Fabius Bayer. One of the warriors.

In fact, he is a sycophantic, arrogant, bully, high-minded, low-handed...but still quite capable space warrior. He was nicknamed "Golden Hammer" in the early days because Eidolon was very good at using weapons such as the Power Thunder Hammer. .

Eidolon really admired his Primarch in the early years, and coupled with his mindless command and poor decision-making during the Battle of the Murder Star, it makes people feel that this person was simply relying on kneeling and licking Fulgrim. The same as that of the Legionnaires.

Technically speaking, Eidolon has already died once.

During the Horus Heresy, Eidolon asked Fulgrim: Why didn't he attack Terra directly instead of tricking the Iron Warriors into helping him build a city of mirrors (actually a theater)?

At that time, Fulgen, who had completely degenerated and acted as he pleased, did not bother to explain to him, and simply beheaded Eidolon with a sword, which vividly explained the principle of "licking a dog will not lead to a good death". As a result, the old Chinese doctor rejuvenated him with a clever operation, and he was stunned. It was the joint surgery that brought Eidolon back.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos once reminded Thor to "remember to behead him next time." But in fact, in the Warhammer 40K universe, many people can still survive even if their heads are lost. Eidolon and "Bonecrusher" Sakala have both enjoyed joint surgery. Both of them are famous "joint overlords" in Warhammer 40K. ".

Strictly speaking, Bonecrusher's surgery was a head replacement surgery, replacing him with a larger, stronger, and more waaagh body. However, Eidolon's joint surgery brought many side effects: twitching and drooling from time to time, The behavior is also a little strange...

However, the Bonecrusher is an Orc after all, and his innate physical condition, half plant and half animal, is much better than that of the Space Marines in this regard. The success of Eidolon's connection was due to Fabius Bayer, the "gene ancestor". The "green-skinned mad doctor" Znik who replaced the Bonebreaker's head was still slightly inferior in comparison. Because other skilled pain boys can also perform head transplant surgery, but the success rate of orc medical skills is more mysterious.

"Ahem."

Seeing that the discussion between Fu Qinghai and Camille gradually deviated from the topic, from "post-war summary review" to "surgical research", Qiao Shida couldn't help but cough lightly and reminded the two people who were getting more and more excited as they chatted. .

"Well, Camille will take care of the heads of Nacred and Eidolon. We will send the Rogue Trader to the Five Hundred World first, and then return to the Marcus King District."

Fu Qinghai took back the topic and made arrangements for his subsequent itinerary.

Camille said with some embarrassment:

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

Kamil is a doctor of surgery, not a forensic doctor. Their method of processing experimental samples is usually to soak them in formalin, but the two swollen skulls soaked in the potion obviously do not meet Qingshan Khan's requirements.

At this moment, Kalamanda, who was sitting next to him, suddenly interrupted and said:

"Sir, I will handle it and ensure that their heads retain the lifelike expressions they had before they died."

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

Fu Qinghai's tone was sarcastic and he nodded:

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

Before the Legion of the Night Lords launched the rebellion, they were very fond of hanging skeletal parts to bind the enemy on their armor. They used it as a way to exaggerate terror. Skeletons, human skin, bone beads... green-skinned elves... There are also human beings.

Kalamanda's face was expressionless, as if she didn't hear the irony in his words. It wasn't until Fu Qinghai was about to announce that the meeting was dismissed that Kalamanda said:

"As a reward for disposing of the skull, I would like to speak with you alone, my lord."

Fu Qinghai turned to look at him.

"Can."

…

Fu Qinghai and Kalamanda were the only two people left in the combat conference room.

Fu Qinghai sat down leisurely and said:

"Actually, you don't need to call me 'Sir'. You and I are both company commanders and have the same military rank."

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

Kalamanda said calmly.

"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 bit difficult for a company commander and veteran who had fought in all directions, but Kalamanda still said it, and the Nightbat warrior looked serious.

Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said:

"If you are repaying my kindness for curing your disability, then there is no need. This is just my reward for a loyal warrior who dares to disobey the original body. It is just a small effort."

"No." Kalamanda shook her head:

"I want to fight again, Khan."

When he said this, his pale face and dark eyes revealed a firm meaning.

Fu Qinghai tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment, raised his head and said:

"I also have a lot of Midnight Lord's gene seeds in my hands now, but actually... To be honest, I don't really like the Eighth Legion's fighting style, Kalamanda."

"Fear is a tool, 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 seriously into Fu Qinghai's eyes and said word by word:

"Judgment is a black-sheathed blade that has experienced many killings. The Milky Way cannot be captured by relying solely on lofty goals. There must be terror behind the golden light, otherwise, the stars will never be tamed."

"These are the exact words of Markbearer Malcador, 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 dispatch the Eighth Legion."

"We carry out what is right in our hearts, Khan, and we never care what other Legions say. Dorne, Guilliman, who cares about the gossip of the Model Sons? What we can handle, they will never be able to handle! We They will always be helpless against enemies that can be dealt with!”

Kalamanda's tone was strong and confident.

Changing the topic, he said again:

"But those traitors, including my Primarch, they have defiled this 'justice'. They have completely fallen into the abyss and quagmire of their own free will. This is why I spurn them. They betrayed the oath of the 'Children of the Night' .”

"Um……"

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly.

Although similar in appearance - both have pale faces and dark pupils, Kalamanda is different from the taciturn Satfalan. He can use emotional words and poetic rhetoric to explain his thoughts and concepts in his heart.

What Captain Night Bat said makes sense.

The Night Lords of the Eighth Legion were, to put it bluntly, dedicated to doing dirty work for the Emperor. Could the Emperor not know the character of these guys? The places where the Emperor sends the Night Lords are places with deep-rooted traditions of cult worship, or places where rebellions continue to occur even after submission.

But as soon as the Night Lord goes...sometimes even before he goes, the people in these places will listen and obey.

Overcome by the terror of the Eighth Legion.

Building temples, skinning people, lighting sky lanterns, etc. are just trivial means for the Midnight Lords. They have more cruel punishments and intimidation methods.

Konrad Curze also completed the tasks entrusted to him by the Emperor very well in the early days. However, the Primarch, who was tortured by prophecies and visions, his mental condition deteriorated day by day, and eventually he embarked on a path of complete depravity. The road of no return.

Kalamanda also mentions the "Nightborne", the precursors to the Night Lords' legion.

During the Terra Unification War, the prisoners who were imprisoned in the ancient underground prison of Terra were the offspring of generations that had been continuously reproduced for thousands of years. They were naturally adapted to the low-light environment and moved silently. They called themselves "the children of the night". It is the earliest source of 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 have finally convinced me, Latani Kalamanda, welcome to the ranks of the Brotherhood of God Machines."

"First go to the medical deck to find Pharmacist Camille. He will complete a new and fully alienated transformation surgery for you. If you are lucky enough to survive, then go to the weapons arsenal to get a set of MK8 chaos-fighting power armor. Pick out a few pieces. weapons."

"By the way, Satfaran is also of Terran descent. You may have some common languages."

…

In the circle of Warhammer 40K enthusiasts, there are many fans of the Night Lords, because the author responsible for the official novel of the Night Lords is very capable and has very well portrayed this group of tragic warriors who spurn the Empire and Chaos at the same time.

But there is a logic here: just like a good person does a bad thing once in his life and is reviled by others, and a bad person does a good thing once in his life and is loved by others.

The Night Lord is your typical cruel, surly, neurotic super-bastard, but he is loved for his occasional displays of reason and compassion.

But their essence is still a group of scum and scum Space Marines who do all kinds of evil and have no conscience. This was true before the rebellion and it was the same after the rebellion.

The Raven Guard of the Nineteenth Legion in the early years were quite similar to the Night Lord in not only their appearance but also in other aspects. However, encountering different original bodies led to different endings. Although the Crow King was also very harsh and harsh, he was not the same as the Bat King. Nothing compares to the "laughing bat" type of insanity.

But like Kalamanda said.

The Night Lords have their own value.

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