It is now Year 015 of the 40th Millennium, and the most famous Supreme Master of the Dark Angels, "Azrael", has not yet been born in this era.

To be precise, Azrael became Chapter Master around the 939th year of the 41st Millennium, which was about 2,000 years ago.

As for the current Supreme Master of the Dark Angels, Gustav, he is a mediocre person.

Gustav's physical fitness, swordsmanship, marksmanship, combat literacy, political skills and many other abilities are considered excellent... but they are only "excellent", not so good that he can completely overwhelm all the company commanders under his command.

But it is precisely because of his mediocre talents that Gustav has always been a gentle and good guy in the Dark Angels. He has a relatively harmonious relationship with the company commanders and adjutants, and rarely conflicts with anyone. The battle brothers won't hold him in high esteem, but they won't be hostile to him either.

So when the last Chapter Master died in battle and the Dark Angels needed to choose a new Supreme Master, Gustav became the only candidate who could convince the crowd. Letting a good old man who can't offend anyone be the leader of the war group may not be the best option, but it is an option that everyone can accept.

However, even such a good-natured person can sometimes get angry.

Such as now.

"This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable!" Gustave punched the desk hard, causing cracks to spread on the marble tabletop.

"What do you mean by 'we will not provide aid to the traitors'?! The Stone Fortress was attacked by the enemy, and the enemy's giant ship has sailed to the head of the moon! Governor Kelenna ignored our request for help, not even a battleship They were unwilling to mobilize, and now they are attacking us and calling us traitors to the empire?!"

"That's unreasonable!"

The angry Gustav's eyes widened, and the bulging veins on his forehead twitched slightly. He was extremely furious. I believe any Space Marine who was wrongly accused of being a traitor would react this way.

But there is a hint of guilt in Gustav's anger...

Because about 10,000 years ago, in the distant era of the Great Crusade, in that buried history... the Dark Angel Legion had indeed betrayed the Human Empire.

It was not long after the Horus Heresy. Under the leadership of the traitor "Luthor", fully half of the Dark Angels Legion launched a rebellion on their home planet Caliban, attempting to become independent from the Empire, and even attacked The loyal Dark Angels led by Lion King launched an attack.

It was an unbearable history. The Dark Angels Legion, as the first legion created by the Emperor, the original Astartes, the Executioners in the Shadows... unexpectedly broke out into an organized rebellion, with half of the Legion betraying the Empire. , simply appalling.

For ten thousand years, the loyalist Dark Angels have called themselves the "Unforgiven."

They kept the rebellion top secret and blocked information. He also called the Dark Angels who launched the rebellion "Fallen Angels" and worked tirelessly to hunt down traitors throughout the galaxy to ensure that the secrets of the rebellion were not leaked and to protect the reputation of the Dark Angels from being tarnished.

"Does Governor Klenna know about the existence of fallen angels?"

A terrifying thought came to Gustav's mind.

"As the Governor of the Kelenna Sector, holding a high position, it is impossible for him not to know the consequences of falsely accusing a founding war group, but he still did it, so decisively, and simply refused to provide us with Even a little help..."

Gustav felt a chill in his heart. He felt that this was very possible. If he had not mastered the key evidence, how could Governor Klenna dare to slander the reputation of a founding group? He must have some top-secret information about the fallen angels.

But where did Governor Klenna get this information?

Who leaked the news...?

"Dark Angel would never have guessed it. It was me who leaked the news." Russell was in a good mood. This was a small gift he gave to Dark Angel.

Russell held the silent Tuchucha with one hand, walked among the boulders, and briskly passed through the secret passages and corridors, returning to the place where he was separated from Gray Feng.

In the center of the corridor, there are open sleeping cabins, and both sides of the wall are filled with unconscious Space Marines. Deep or shallow bullet marks can be seen everywhere on the walls and floors. Apparently, a fire broke out here not long ago. , but strangely there was no trace of blood around.

"Marshal, are you done with your work?" Gray Wind turned around while carrying a panting Space Marine, the power sword stuck on his forehead still buzzing.

Russell glanced at the Deathwing Master who was being held by Gray Wind, and handed the ancient machine in front of Gray Wind: "It's done, Tuchucha has been obtained, we should leave."

"...By the way, where did your left hand go?" Russell looked at Gray Feng's forehead pierced by the sword blade and his missing left hand, feeling a little distressed.

"The left hand was burned by the melt weapon." Gray Wind rolled his eyes, threw the Dark Angel Deathwing Grand Master on the ground who was about to faint, and freed his hand to pull out the power sword inserted in his forehead.

"There are not many weapons that can really harm nanorobots. Heat melt is one of them. Even the subatomic structure of the part burned by the melt weapon has been destroyed, and there is no way to repair itself." Gray Feng said, picking up a handful of heat from the ground. The melting pistol was stuffed into his mouth in one gulp.

Biting with teeth was just a form of expression. In Gray Feng's mouth, a large number of nanorobots quickly decomposed the mechanical structure of the gun body, and used this hot-melt pistol as a material to complete Gray Feng's body.

Gray Feng moved his newly grown left hand and glanced at the Dark Angel warriors lying around: "As you ordered, I didn't kill them, I just knocked them down... Marshal, you don't want to further intensify the conflict with the Dark Angels, Is that why you want to avoid bloodshed as much as possible?"

"Of course not." Russell smiled: "It will be more painful for them to face the next thing alive than to be killed by you."

"Hey...what's going on?" Gray Feng was a little curious.

"Every time the expedition fleet arrives in a galaxy, it will kindly tell the local government some little secrets about the Dark Angels." Russell said with a smile: "For example, Governor Klenna already knows about the existence of the Fallen Angels."

Gray Wind puffed up her cheeks and hummed. She didn't quite understand why it was more painful for the Dark Angel to have his little secret exposed than death. But since Russell said so, she was still willing to believe the marshal.

"time to go."

"Here we come..."

Taking Tuchucha with him, Russell left the Stone Fortress and returned to the gray goo mothership.

Over the dark red star of the moon, the Dark Angels' fleet offensive has become weak. Without the help of the local armed forces, they are squeezed out and cannot mobilize more ships to attack. Even the local Mechanicus are secretly using stumbling block.

Before leaving, Gray Feng asked curiously: "Marshal, let me tell you, when the Dark Angels organized a fleet to attack the mothership, I saw the Adeptus Mechanicus on the Star of Hell suddenly closed a large number of starports and banned all star ports. Their warships came into port for repairs and supplies.

Many battleships were stranded because of this. Why did the Adeptus Mechanicus embarrass the Dark Angels like this? Aren’t they all subordinate departments of the empire? "

"It's very simple. Do you know what the Dark Angel came here to do in the first place?" Russell asked.

"Hmm... resist the invasion of Chaos?"

"Yes, but besides that, there is another purpose." Russell touched Gray Feng's head and moved the detector's sensing direction away from the star.

The dark red planet disappeared from the sight of the two people, and was replaced by an L-star gate base under construction.

"The news that the 2nd Expeditionary Fleet left the L-Star Gate construction template on the Star Planet is no longer a secret. It spread in the Extreme Star Territory two years ago. The Dark Angels are here to steal things." Russell said.

Gray Wind nodded: "That's why they conflicted with the local Mechanicus branch..."

What do these people think? Isn't it going to cost them their lives to snatch high technology from the oil guy?
