Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

The other knights were silent, waiting for Azrael to continue.

Silence is the best camouflage, the more you talk, the easier it is for others to detect your identity and thoughts.

Only when all the dust settles can they know each other's identities.

"The Angel of Darkness is very powerful. We have existed for ten thousand years, and the blood of Ryan has been passed down between us. However, Chaos and traitors have never given up on the idea of ​​pulling us into the abyss. They desire and seek our weaknesses. Those Traitors hide in warbands and Corruptors hide in warbands like necrosis."

Azrael whispered.

The Horus Heresy is defeated by the Loyalists.

The traitors were forced to flee behind the Eye of Terror.

Incidents of rebellion against the established system did not decrease as a result.

There have also been numerous incidents of traitors and Chaos corruption among the Chapters.

Azrael has been in charge of the Dark Angels Chapter for these years, and he is also vaguely aware of the problems within the Chapter.

Many thought Stonehold was impenetrable, and so was Azrael.

Since he became Grand Master, there have been several invasions of Stone Keep so far.

Thousands of people lost their lives for this.

Fighting monks, recruits, slave laborers, and mortal guards all suffered heavy casualties.

There are also a large number of dark and precious relics that have been robbed.

These invaders are extremely well planned.

Their targets are the prisoners in the prison deep in the Stone Fortress.

That is the greatest traitor of the past, Lord Cypher-Luthor.

Although the plans of these invaders were ultimately thwarted by the Dark Angels.

But they still wreaked havoc on Monolith Fortress.

Assist some cell prisoners to escape from their prison.

Most of the prisoners were of course executed or reintroduced into cells.

But to this day, some prisoners are still hiding from the dark angels somewhere in the monolith.

From time to time, slave labor and mortals go missing in the fortress.

And their bodies will be found in a few days.

There are terrible scars all over the body, and the bloodless face often shows an extremely painful and distorted expression.

The Dark Angels have carried out several clearing operations in the fortress, but the effect of the operations is not satisfactory.

As if prescient, the enemy departs before they arrive, leaving behind only profane words and empty hiding places.

This made Azrael suspect that the Chapter had been infiltrated.

For this reason, he made a lot of plans and wanted to catch it.

He founded six closed-loop orders in the name of secrecy, and participated in them to carry out the anti-espionage plan.

Now, the congregation he belongs to is just one of the ones he secretly established.

With an extremely complex structure and unequal information gap, he ensured that even if there were lurkers and corrupters in the six orders.

It can also guarantee that the six cultivators will complete the anti-espionage plan according to his will.

The arrival of Guilliman is a perfect entry point.

The enemy wants to turn them against each other and plunge the empire into chaos once again.

And Azrael will take advantage of that.

As for Guilliman's destruction of the Dark Angels Chapter.

Azrael believed in the eyes of the Gene-Father-Ryan.

In some secret materials that can only be read with the authority of the great teacher, he knows something that happened 10,000 years ago.

Lion, Guilliman, and Sanguinius joined hands to establish the human base - the Second Empire, in order to preserve the human fire.

Know that Terra is not yet fallen, the Empire is not yet destroyed.

Together they crushed the traitors, quelled the Ruinstorm, and rushed to the aid of the Empire from Ultramar.

What's more, Lion fell asleep before Guilliman fell asleep. As the regent of the empire, Guilliman could not have known nothing about Caliban.

Maybe he doesn't know much, but he definitely has heard of it.

Therefore, the devil's attempt to provoke the conflict between the Dark Angel and Guilliman was just a joke in Azrael's heart.

But he couldn't tell.

The things involved are complex, and everything is said, which can easily cause confusion.

The world is not black and white.

Some things cannot be true.

However, Azrael knew that Guilliman could be trusted.

Just one point, that is, his genetic father, Ryan, trusted Guilliman when the Four Gods invaded the real universe with the help of Horus during the Great Rebellion.

What's more, after Guilliman woke up, he was inclined to the various resources of the war group, which showed that he was very dependent on the war group.

Azrael believed that even if Guilliman knew the ins and outs of the Caliban incident, his reaction would be rage at most, and it would never be serious enough to destroy the entire Dark Angels Chapter.

To destroy the original warband will only make everyone in the warband feel insecure.

For ten thousand years, no one has any secrets.

Wolf of Fenris, vampire of Baavy.

Who can guarantee that they are not next?

Anyone who can attack the Dark Angel, who can ensure that he will not become the next victim.

So far, Guilliman has only targeted the corrupt bureaucracy the most. Other issues are basically dealt with lightly and mainly guided.

Demonic and traitorous forces want to use the hand of Guilliman to cause a civil war in the empire.

And Azrael would channel that, to lure those people into showing off.

Play intrigue with the Dark Angels.

Those idiots deserve it too?

Azrael took a moment to detail the plan.

"The arrival of Guilliman has already attracted the attention of various forces. Their purpose is obvious. They want to provoke the conflict between the Dark Angels and the Awakening Primarch, so as to cause a civil war..."

His presentation took a lot of time and recounted the complex plans involved.

Wait until the four knights nodded and confirmed the details of the task.

Everyone swore an oath and ended the meeting.

"After today, we will no longer gather together. Even if the conspiracy is revealed and the cancer is cleaned up, there will be no more gatherings." Azrael said.

It is their duty to walk in the dark and protect the light.

No rewards, no promises, loyalty is the only reward.

"The Order never existed," responded one knight.

"Secrets are our refuge," said Azrael, "and our means of defending the Empire."

The three knights nodded.

When the party was over, everyone left.

Azrael took the time to gather people from other orders, and told them different reasons to ensure the smooth progress of the evolution.

No one can know all the secrets except him.

No one will know how all these work closely and interlock.

Any traitor who sabotages the plan will become the prey of this plan.

Every Traitor, Chaos, Alien deserves to die.

This is true for whatever reason.

This is the standard for Inquisitor Gray to act.

As an Inquisitor of the Empire, she was once captured by the Overlord of the Necron, Trazyn the Infinity.

And imprisoned it in the lag force field that deprives time.

Until the outbreak of the Battle of Cadia, Tarasin the Infinity released part of the Empire's collection to help the Empire fight against Chaos and avoid affecting the plan of the Necrons.

During this time, Gray was able to escape the clutches.

She was thinking about how to take revenge on Tralasin the Infinity every day, but she also knew that this was not the best time for revenge.

The most important thing now is to heal the wounds of the Great Rift.

For this reason, Gray can only pour his anger on the traitors and aliens.

Because she had cooperated with Kaul, Celestine and others went to Macragge to revive the original body.

Out of the Primarch's trust, she also got an expedition fleet to crusade against the worlds occupied by demons and traitors, and at the same time suppress those powerful families who resisted the reform.

Out of fanatical belief in the Emperor and worship of Guilliman, any families and dignitaries who tried to resist the reform were eliminated by her without hesitation.

The Empire is vast, littered with the wreckage of ambition and war.

Some are the only surviving creations of Golden Age builders, and others are gigantic structures created by mad members of the Mechanicum.

Hell Five is a transfer station located in the void.

Made of meteorite and steel in the void, it is extremely majestic and huge, with a diameter of 1,500 kilometers.

With a population of nearly 10 billion, it is a very famous subspace transfer station in the Nephilim star area.

Each channel has special nodes.

These node intermediate stations, as long as the rulers are not stupid, can basically use a large number of passing warp space fleets to become prosperous colonies.

It is precisely because of this that the Hell No. 5 transfer station has prospered.

Businessmen like this route very much, because it is fast, safe and highly secretive.

They can hire wild, uncertified navigators to assist them in navigating this route, greatly reducing costs.

At its peak, Hell V was able to transfer materials from nearly a hundred galaxies, and it prospered to the extreme.

Until the arrival of the big rift.

All of this is broken, the glory is no longer, and it is quickly declining.

No ship is currently capable of navigating the warp without an official navigator.

Wild navigators also have a third eye, which can spy on the subspace ocean currents, but they are not good at capturing the emperor's brilliance, and it is extremely easy to get lost in the vast etheric ocean.

Today's fleet trade has gradually decreased, even if there are bold people who want to seek wealth and insurance, they dare not take this route anymore.

Hell Five provides maintenance, entertainment, rest and other services to those passing ships.

The passing ships also provided it with food and industrial products from various planets, which made it prosperous.

After the subspace storm broke out, fewer and fewer ships passed by.

Even naval ships and supply fleets stopped coming because of concerns about casualties.

All that was left of this extremely prosperous spiral void building was emptiness and echoes.

It has even reached a semi-abandoned stage, filled with a large number of smugglers and slaves.

The strength of the legal department is also slowly weakening.

Let this place completely become an extrajudicial place where ordinary people who are not very determined can easily find all kinds of temptations.

Gray led the huge fleet to hunt down demons and aliens while suppressing the rebellious noble forces.

A cult called Sturm has started a rebellion.

Gray easily resolved the rebellion, captured many believers, and learned that Sturm is an evil church that worships Ouroboros.

Before those cultists died, she got a clue to the middle station of Hell Five.

She pursued all the way to Hell V, trying to destroy this evil church in one fell swoop, and remove the enemy for the Emperor and the Primarch.

Relying on the power of the expedition fleet, she destroyed all rebels.

The purge was carried out quickly.

Inside the transfer station of Hell No. 5, the nobles involved in the cult incident, as well as those who were captured, knelt on the port platform of the space station.

These people were all trembling, clutching at the corners of their clothes uneasily, fearful of their impending fate.

Gray's eyes were cold, and she never showed mercy to traitors.

Just as she was making the verdict, the communication device built into her ear heard the voice of her subordinates.

"My lord, you should come and see this."

There was a hint of panic in the other party's voice, obviously frightened by something.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked puzzled in the communication.

"The stuff here involves the Dark Angels," said the underling.
