The Protoss in Warhammer

Chapter 206 194. Sad Betrayal

When the ruling of the Terra High Lords Council was issued, the war in the Maelstrom region did not stop, but intensified.

The Great Maelstrom Guardians were determined to defend their own interests, because most of them did not think that they had betrayed the Empire, but were just fighting against the corrupt High Lords Council.

The Empire was also determined to maintain its hegemony here, or in other words, the High Lords Council was determined to show all the Astartes here that they were the real rulers of the Empire, so that those transformed people would understand that the current era belongs to them, the mortals!

In order to successfully suppress the rebellion in the Great Maelstrom region, the High Lords Council even dispatched its military equipment in the Terra region and decided to defend its authority here. Nearly two quasi-star zone battleship formations were transferred from Holy Terra and the Solar Star Region to do this, and at the same time, the naval fleet of the Extreme Star Region was ordered to immediately attack the rebels.

At the same time, in order to increase the possibility of victory, the Gaolingist Society also required the Astartes to join the Imperial Expeditionary Force to fight against the Great Vortex Guardians who had betrayed the Gaoling Lord Council.

Finally, after paying a lot of favors and materials and tough orders, the Terra government spent a year to finally organize a new punishment fleet. The Astartes Expeditionary Force composed of the Raptor, Red Scorpion, Fire Angel, Salamander and Red Hunter came to fight.

Although the Terra Council asked the Ultramarines to stop the battle more than once, the commander of the Calgar Chapter responded to the Terra bureaucrats with silence and various shirking. After all, the Word Bearers have always regarded fighting the Ultramarines as a team-building activity. Now the Ultramarines are ready to kick the Restorers back into the warp again, and they have no time to pay attention to them for the time being.

And it is very interesting that although the Star Claws are now fighting with the Terra government, they also sent troops to attack the world controlled by the Huaiyuan Warband, Galmek.

After all, at this moment, Huron did not intend to really fall out with the Empire. In his opinion, this time was at most a conflict with the High Lord. Anyway, they were not the only Astartes who had conflicts with the High Lord, so a beating would be enough.

Moreover, he did not think that those brothers and cousins ​​who came to punish him would really be cruel to him. The previous Ranger Knight was a good example. When the two sides met, they just acted as if they did not see each other. This time was probably the same.

That's why he dared to participate in the team-building activities of the mother group so confidently, and at the same time, he also showed the whole Empire that he had no intention of joining the Chaos.

In fact, if he only did so many of the above things, it would not be a big deal. After all, many war groups, especially those on the front line of the Empire, would do this, but the most wrong thing that the Star Claws did was to resist taxes!

Note that the rhetoric here is to resist taxes, not to fail to pay!

In fact, everyone in the High Lords' Council knew that these war groups were fighting on the front line. If they had been paying taxes, they would have been unable to hold on. The need for these Astartes, like the Knights, to defend the Empire's frontiers, coupled with the fact that the relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus was not very good, so many chapters were not very diligent in paying the gene seed tax.

However, in order to ensure the Empire's influence on these frontier chapters, they would still collect some gene seeds, but the amount would not be large, just for the sake of showing it. Most chapters would also understand the other party's intentions and hand over a part of it to express their respect and obedience to the Supreme Lord Council of Terra. However, Huron may think that he has several chapters under his command, and his strength is very great, so he is a little arrogant, so he simply does not pay taxes. Not only does he not pay taxes, he also directly detains the tax collection ship.

This is a big problem.

As an Astartes, even if you do not pay taxes on a regular basis, arbitrarily expand the number of your own chapter soldiers, the governor of the local planet is killed, and even if you use the Astartes Holy Codex as a toilet paper and go against the Inquisition, it's okay!

As long as you keep obeying the orders of the parliament, the people in the nursing home can pretend to be blind and see nothing, because they know that although you are jumping now, generally speaking, you still dare not disobey their orders and will not touch their cakes, so no matter what you do, it doesn't matter to them.

But the Terra Special Mission has already arrived, and you still don't show any performance, like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, then no one can save you.

Just like those officials in the Cartago sector before, some things may seem big, but in fact, they are not big things in the eyes of those real big men. But because of your serious mistake, such things must be weighed on the scale, then half a pound of things will become a thousand tons. Once things reach this stage, no one can save Huron and his Star Claws.

This can also explain why Calgar was not prepared to join this expedition to persuade the Star Claws. As a commander of the Astartes with rich political experience, Calgar didn't know how much trouble Huron had caused, but now he is useless, which will only cause more trouble for himself and add stains to the glory of the Ultramarines.

In fact, Huron originally had many opportunities, but he wasted them all, so that now he is completely trapped in a dead end.

So after this, those brotherly warbands who seemed to be joking with him in the early stage of the campaign would directly take ruthless action, because if you don't take ruthless action at this time, it means that you are not in the same mind as the whole Terra, you will be suspected, and your warband may become the next defender of the Great Vortex.

In this case, the largest naval battle in the entire campaign began. When the Great Vortex Alliance was most shocked and unbelievable, when most of their troops were fighting against the heretics, the Empire stabbed them in the back.

The commander of the Red Scorpion Warband, Odiz, decided to give the Great Vortex Alliance a ruthless blow and cut off one of the arms of the Star Claw.

The Red Scorpion Warband is a very typical festival warband. They hate traitors and genetic mutations very much. They believe that the purity of genes is the best. At the same time, they also have the greatest hatred for aliens and even refuse to fight with sub-humans.

Now they have led the imperial army to launch a tentative attack around the Great Vortex, and after finding the direction, they decided to attack in the direction of the Desolate Universe. The one fighting with them was the Whimper Fleet led by the Lamenters in this area, and a large-scale naval battle would break out here.

In 906 of M41, the largest naval battle in the Badab War broke out, and this battle was later called the Battle of the Silent Universe.

Because the Imperial Navy led by the Red Scorpion had extreme hatred for alien races, the combined fleet of Kalai and Tal'darim did not send troops to investigate.

If they were discovered on the battlefield, the biggest possibility was that all the hatred would be attracted to them when they appeared. Fortunately, they had been operating here for more than two years and had developed a rough intelligence network.

The final result of this war was that the Overlord-class battlecruiser "Wrath Fist" of the Whirlpool Alliance was severely damaged, and ended with the forced retreat of the Whirlpool Alliance.

After this battle, the Red Scorpion originally continued to prepare to march to the Vinya system, but the attack on this system was thwarted by the stubborn resistance of the local army.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the Maelstrom Alliance proposed a suggestion: to hold talks in the Sad Galaxy.

Although most people did not believe that the Maelstrom Guardians would negotiate honestly, the Red Scorpion Chapter Leader still believed in the credibility of the Star Claws and decided to go to negotiate.

But to everyone's surprise, when the negotiation process was at its most intense, three warships from the Chaos Camp suddenly rushed out of the gas planet in the galaxy and attacked the two negotiating parties.

In the subsequent melee, the Red Scorpion Chapter Leader and the Mantis Warrior Chapter Leader were both killed, and Huron barely saved his life and fled quickly.

The angry expeditionary force believed that this accident was something that the Maelstrom Alliance had already anticipated, and they used the evil power of Chaos to cause the tragedy. The separatists believed that it was the indiscriminate attack of the Inquisition that led to this situation. Among them, only Chief Inquisitor Feren believed that it was a conspiracy of Chaos, and those guys wanted to make the Empire bleed continuously!

But in the general sensibility, rationality has been forgotten. The true words of Chief Judge Feren were abandoned by the new Red Scorpion Chapter Master, who now only wants to avenge his former Chapter Master!

This tragic assassination is called "Sad Betrayal". After this incident, the entire campaign has reached its climax.

However, no one knows, even the Chaos Powers, that the deep-sea predators that have been wandering on the dark edge of the galaxy are about to come here to bring the Emperor's punishment to all the Separatists, traitors and aliens!

Regarding the incident of Sad Betrayal, the official actually mentioned it in the background. Later, I checked the information and found that most people did it through their own ideas. Because I am not very good at creating in this area, I can choose to skip it. I hope that all readers can understand it. Thank you.
