Infinite Metaverse

Sintila Hive World.

Cintila is the capital of the Calixis sector in the Obscure Star Territory. It is not only a prosperous empire hub, but also the most populous planet in the sector. It enjoys the reputation of "The Shining Spark" and is also a famous regiment of the Imperial Guard - —The home planet of the Sintila Fusiliers.

Sibelius main nest, upper nest area.

Two huge Ogryns walked side by side on the street. They were 2.56 meters tall, carrying Imperial Guard belts and shoulder straps, and had an inexplicable body odor that made the surrounding pedestrians stay away from them.

One of the Ogryns looked left and right with wary eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Why do you have to come to Sintila?"

"Because this is the capital of the sector, the place where information and intelligence converge. If I hide in the Garden World far away from the route like you, I won't get any news. Do you understand?"

said the other Ogryn.

"As you said, this is the capital of the sector, and the Triangle Palace of the Tribunal is right here! That is the headquarters of the Tribunal of the entire sector. You are so brave."

The Ogryn tried to keep his excited voice down.

As the capital of the sector, Sintila not only has the Tribunal, but also central government agencies such as the Government Affairs Council, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Astrology Tribunal, and the Ministry of Justice all have offices here.

His companion said nonchalantly:

"I am a Space Marine of the 11th Company of the White Scars Chapter, the Divine Machine Brotherhood, and I am also a non-commissioned officer. Even if my identity is exposed, what can they do to me?"

"Well……"

The Ogryn was speechless for a moment.

"Hey, listen to me, Tristan."

His companion continued:

"Your voice is not imitated. A real Ogryn speaks Low Gothic. It should have a dialect accent similar to that of an Orc orc, with a garbled murmur. In addition, your sneaky eyes looking around are also... It doesn’t fit in with the traditional impression Ogryns give others.”

The Ogryn said angrily:

"How do I know how greenskins speak Low Gothic!"

The Ogryn on the other end said:

"Then shut your mouth, okay?"

…

The two passed through the complex street network of the main hive city, turning left and right in pipes, overpasses and tunnels, and finally came to a secret stronghold, which seemed to be the back door of a certain hotel.

The Ogryn exchanged the code with the guard behind the door, opened the iron door, and led his companions in. The guard stretched out his head and looked left and right, and the street children squatting at both ends of the dark alley gave him a confirmation gesture - there was no one following him.

After entering the hotel, the Ogryn took off his disguise and mask. The young face with a black hydra tattoo on the side was none other than No. 56.

The other Ogryn also raised his hand and tore off the disguise on his face, revealing a bald head covered in black prayers and a serious face filled with bitterness and hatred.

Surrounded by seven or eight mortals with different identities and costumes, men, women, old and young, they all shouted respectfully:

"Owner."

No. 56 waved his hand and said:

"intelligence?"

"Master, that's it."

One of the old men stood up and said:

"We recently found out a piece of news: a fleet of Rogue Traders passed by the industrial world of Hovia and was attacked by the Emperor's Children. Only some of the people managed to escape. According to them, the leader of the Emperor's Children called himself 'The Soul-Severing One'. people'."

"The person who cuts off the soul..."

Number 56 muttered to himself, lost in thought.

After thinking for a moment to no avail, he turned to look at the old man:

"Who do you think it should be?"

The old man said slowly:

"Based on the fragments of information I heard from other intelligence during the rebellion, I infer that the person should be - Eidolon the 'Soul Cutter'."

No. 56’s eyes lit up:

"The second-in-command of the Emperor's Children Legion, the Legion Archon, the former 'Golden Hammer' Eidolon?"

The old man nodded:

"I think so, Master."

No. 56 narrowed his eyes and touched his chin:

"Tsk, tsk, this is interesting. I guess he definitely wants this information."

…

Graystone Fortress, one of Sintira's famous landmarks. This slender purple-black stone tower is the highest point of the hive Sibelius and is also the headquarters of Sintira's Astropath. The Astropath Choir here is composed of Composed of six astropaths.

Astropaths spend their entire lives in this airy belfry, engaging in intensive mental exercises and studying vast amounts of symbolic codes over long periods of time. There is no one else here except the astropaths and a few attendants who serve to assist them.

Two Space Marines in power armor were climbing this seemingly endless spiral staircase.

"Do we have to do this?"

The Word Bearers warrior asked as he climbed:

"Can't we just go the normal route?"

"That's too late."

The Alpha warrior wearing white scar armor said:

"Perhaps they are not sure where to start their hunting activities now? When we return to the Schwerin Hive and send the astrological message, maybe the Emperor's Children will run away. That is Eidolon, the person the White Scar wants to kill the most. "

Finally climbing to the top, a cobalt blue gelatinous substance surged out of No. 56's body, automatically covering the surface of the power armor, changing the painting from red and white to gray without any markings, and then kicked it away The stone tower gate.

In the blank and frightened eyes of a group of astropaths.

No. 56 raised the bolt pistol in his hand, pointed at the blind, fat old man in the middle, and said:

"Follow my request and send an astrological message, and I won't embarrass you."

The fat old man was trembling all over and cursed:

"Heresy, don't even think about it..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. If you don't do it, I will kill the child you had with the planetary governor's mistress..."

No. 56 interrupted him impatiently. Before he finished speaking, the fat and white old man immediately raised his hands:

"I'll do that, sir."

Number 56 followed the old man onto the high platform.

The Word Bearers warriors pointed their guns at the surrounding Astropaths.

They were all blindfolded, but at this moment they all "looked" at No. 56 on the high platform. Their "eager" looks seemed to say: Go on, he and the planet What happened to the Governor's mistress?

Under the stone tower of the graystone fortress, the hive bailiffs and imperial guards responsible for guarding the place have all been subdued. The strange thing is that the attackers did not hurt their lives, but just knocked them unconscious, gagged their mouths and tied them. Together.

Afterwards, the astropaths in the stone tower were hesitant when talking about the matter, leaving the inquisitors and legal officers responsible for investigating the matter confused and confused.

…

Planet Uriah V.

The Thunderhawk gunship slowly landed on the tundra ground, its support legs kicked up a large pile of snow, the steaming door seal made a mechanical clicking sound, spouting steam, the gangway opened and dropped, and crashed into the whining engine and melted. of slush.

The howling wind blew, frost formed a hard crust on the face armor, and the armored boots made a crunching sound on the snow. The Space Marine quickly scanned the surroundings with his gun.

A world of death with an average temperature of more than 70 degrees below zero.

If it weren't for the Midnight Lords' war gang surrounding this place, Fu Qinghai would never have imagined that this planet with no resources and extremely harsh environment would actually have an assassin temple of Callidus hidden on it.

If the Night Lords had not relied on Talos's prophetic ability to capture a Callidus assassin, and the assassin revealed the location of the temple under the Midnight Lord's miraculous torture methods, otherwise the Eighth Legion would not have been able to find this secret. place.

By interrogating the mortal slaves and traitor crew members on the Desolation, Fu Qinghai learned two things:

1. Originally there was a Chaos war gang here - the strike cruiser Blood Alliance led by the possessed warrior "Supreme". However, the opponent's soul hunter Talos predicted his arrival and ran away in advance.

2. Originally, the Night Lords were besieging the Assassin Temple on the ground, but were recalled to the warships in an emergency. The action was hasty, resulting in some ground vehicles remaining on the surface.

Fu Qinghai came to receive these ground vehicles.

Fu Qinghai vaguely remembered that the Blood Alliance cruiser relied on the soul hunter's prophecy ability to turn disaster into disaster many times in the meat grinder of the Eye of Terror. If he wanted to hunt them, he would probably have to think of some way to block the prophecy.

Everyone trudged along the valley. In such an environment, the Space Marines wearing power armor could feel the slightest bit of cold. Mortals might not survive more than a quarter of an hour in the wild.

"Khan, a report from a technical servitor came through the communication network, claiming that the oil pipeline and fuel tank on the landed Thunderhawk gunship have been partially frozen."

Said a Space Marine.

"I see."

Fu Qinghai did not stop and continued to move forward.

Finally, they saw the black fortress hidden in the valley and the three Typhon heavy siege tanks parked outside the fortress.

"Using a Land Raider chassis, produced in the forge world of Anverus Nine, there are not many good things like this."

Fu Qinghai said to himself, feeling quite satisfied.

He judged the models and specifications of several vehicles at a glance.

After some investigation, everyone found that all the remaining servitors in the siege tanks had frozen to death. These rigid guys may not know that they need to pull out promethium from the fuel tank to ignite for warmth. Fu Qinghai ordered his men to take over these three vehicles and drive them Leave the valley and take the Thunderhawk back to the battleship.

Then he looked up at the fortress not far away.

Multiple void shield arrays rising from the side of the valley can resist bombing and raids from orbit and the sky. Like many similar ground-based defense systems, the edges of the overlapping shield force fields will be more vulnerable to ground attacks.

The fortress itself was blurred by the erratic air, like a layer of heat-radiating mist. The void shield distorted the view behind it, reducing the battlements into uneven outlines. Fu Qinghai could only vaguely see a figure on the wall. .

Although he objectively saved this place, Fu Qinghai had no intention of communicating with the Assassin Temple of Callidus. He took one last look and turned around to leave.

"Khan."

At this moment, the soldier beside him raised his hand and pointed at Fu Qinghai's back.

Fu Qinghai turned around and looked.

A short and stooped figure passed through the blurred void shield, leaving a row of footprints in the snow behind him, and walked slowly towards the direction of Fu Qinghai.

Fu Qinghai stood still and waited.

This is an old woman wearing a fur coat.

She raised her brown face covered with wrinkles and stains, her pale curly hair fluttering in the wind, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Thank you to the Adeptus Astartes for your rescue. May I know your unit number?"

Fu Qinghai nodded and reported to his company:

"White Scars Chapter, Brotherhood of God Machine, Qingshan Khan."

The old woman responded with the courtesy of an eagle and said:

"The daughter of Callidus owes you a favor, Qingshan Khan."

Fu Qinghai smiled, and the laughter seemed a little distorted by the filtering of the loudspeaker and the howling of the snowstorm:

"If you could see me as I am, maybe I would be more grateful."

The old woman was stunned when she heard the words, and paused for a second. Then, her whole body and clothes began to twist and change, turning into a wriggling black substance, and her height stretched and grew...

Finally, a tall girl with a hot figure stood in front of Fu Qinghai. Her bumpy body and face were all wrapped in a tight black leather jacket made of an unknown material, except for the long brown-red braid on the back of her head. .

The girl in black tilted her head, spread her hands, and her voice became magnetic and beautiful:

"Are you satisfied with this, Qingshan Khan?"

Oh, I said it has changed, it really has changed.

Although she doesn't show her face, her figure is really great, exactly the same as the one in the official animation and novel accompanying pictures.

Facing the assassin's rhetorical question, Fu Qinghai laughed:

"I'm satisfied. See you later. Goodbye."

After speaking, he turned around and led his men away.

What I was thinking about was:

She is beautiful, but it is best not to interact with the Callidus assassins in the future... and not to interact with any assassins from the Assassin Temple.

…

On the way back.

The fleet, which has added two new members, is sailing to Mandeville Point on the outskirts of the Uriah system, preparing to enter the subspace.

Xialu Flosping, wearing a long robe, walked quickly towards Fu Qinghai's captain's room.

The Astropath came to the door. Attendant Lin Yu was not there. Another unknown Space Marine was on duty. The other person glanced at Xia Lu and seemed to say something on the communication channel, and then the hatch opened automatically.

Xia Long walked inside and found that Navigator Tracy Gray and Rogue Trader Yolanda Atela were both there. The two women were wearing gorgeous aristocratic costumes and were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, smiling happily. Good atmosphere.

Seeing this scene, Xia Lu felt inexplicably unhappy: Why are you two here? Obviously only I know Khan's little secret.

Fu Qinghai's captain's room is very large, including a private study, reception area, rest area, etc. Fu Qinghai raised his head from his desk and asked:

"What's wrong, Xia Long?"

Xia Lu walked to the table and said:

"Khan, there is urgent information."

After speaking, he remained silent.

The two women on the sofa were slightly stunned. Yolanda immediately smoothed her skirt and stood up, saying:

"Sir, I'll avoid it."

Fu Qinghai nodded slightly and pointed at Tracy, indicating that she didn't need to leave. After the Rogue Trader quickly walked out of the cabin door, Fu Qinghai asked:

"whats the matter?"

Xia Long spoke quickly and reported:

"Khan, we received an astrological message from the hive world of Cintila, the capital of the Calixis sector. It is very brief, just one sentence -"

"Hovia, Eidolon."

"The person who sent the message calls himself: Two cubed times seven."

2x7?

Isn’t it just 56?

Fu Qinghai can get the result without mental arithmetic.

Ah, by the way, No. 56 said before that he was going to the Calixis sector... The answer was a junior high school math problem. This guy is really boring.

Fu Qinghai looked at the navigator and asked:

"Hovia... is it a place name?"

Tracy stood up and said:

"There is an industrial world of Hovia, located on the western edge of the Ultramarine, Khan."

It is indeed a place name, and "Eidolon" is...

Fu Qinghai was suddenly shocked.

Could it be that "Eidolon"?

No. 56 had used Sintira's Astropath to send messages to himself. Before he left, he also knew what mission the Brotherhood was currently receiving from the Primarch.

Fu Qinghai's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Then there is a high probability that it is the "Eidolon"!

"Modify the fleet's course and head to the industrial world of Hovia."

Fu Qinghai immediately gave orders to Tracy.

"Yes, Khan."

The navigator took the order and left.

Then Fu Qinghai opened the communication channel again:

"Qiao Shida, Camille, Satfalan, and Lin Yu, gather in the combat conference room!"

Thank you, Slaanesh God Chosen Paregal, book friend 20210918044544288, Qingshan sees me, how is it, King Marquez, I gave the boy fat for free, several book friends have given many rewards, thank you!

In the original novel, the Faceless Prince was killed by the Dreadwing veterans of the Dark Angels during the Samaras Expedition at the end of the Horus Heresy. This is the original plot. Let me tell you about it. I assume that a reincarnator participated in this incident, which prevented him from dying, but it has nothing to do with the plot of this book and I will not go into details in the text. Then the Midnight Lord's revenge on the Temple of Callidus has not yet been determined. It may be in 41K, or it may be in 31K-40K, so I won't go into details.
