Warhammer 40K! The Queen of Glory for Hammer Guys

The Word Bearers veteran, who had naturally changed his identity, quickly entered the state and very consciously executed the combat plan according to the requirements of the Hammers. The next second, the collection operation was normal, and the news that nothing happened in the hangar was passed to the bridge, which also made the captain of the cruiser who was waiting for the news relax his brows slightly.

"Take all of them to the confessional, I will personally preach the truth to them."

The captain who gave the Word Bearers an answer to the veteran sent a subspace signal of the successful operation to Erebus himself, while standing up from his chair and putting on his robes. Now, he can't wait to preach the real truth to these lambs, so that they can go from being able to indulge in lust at the beginning to becoming warriors who can systematically understand the original truth.

"From which page of the Book of Lorgar should I preach to them? Well, the first lesson must be to let them realize that the gods of the subspace are not divided..."

After outlining what to teach in the first lesson in his mind, the Word Bearers captain immediately delegated part of the command of the battleship to other Word Bearers, and then concentrated on preparing for the lesson. Other Word Bearers also began to carry out orders and do their assigned tasks without any surprise.

——After all, for the Word Bearers, preaching the truth is more important than life.

27. Erebus must die! ——The Dark Lady in the Preaching Hall

Although these Slaanesh Astartes are crazy, they still have their merits. At least, some of them are willing to listen to their sermons.

The Word Bearer captain of the cruiser, wearing a ceremonial robe for preaching, stood on the podium in the preaching room, holding a notebook full of words and sentences excerpted from the chapters of Lorgar's Book that he had selected in the past two days. With a smile on his face, he looked at the members of the Astartes warband who were staggering and no one wanted to listen seriously. What surged in his heart was not anger but excitement.

——At the beginning, he had actually prepared himself for the fact that none of the guys who had entered the joy of the High Heaven too deeply recruited by them would come on their own initiative, but now it seems...

The words of his own Primarch are still quite convincing! Even the followers of Slaanesh are willing to come and listen to the preaching!

"Very good, you are here on your own initiative, which means that you are willing to embrace the truth of the Chaos Powers. Indeed, you have touched a ray of the truth in this universe through your own way, but this is far from enough - the truth in the endless ocean of chaos is beyond our mortal cognition. What we have to do is to devoutly pursue the words of the Chaos Powers, follow their ways, and use our mouths to tell the truth of God to the deceived lambs..."

After confirming that the Slaanesh stuff sitting in the audience did not do anything too outrageous, the Word Bearer captain opened the first page of his prepared notebook and began to talk about the sentences in the Book of Lorgar and his understanding of these sentences. His explanation was so focused that he did not notice that thirteen of the candles in the preaching room full of the four gods' marks had ignited golden flames, and he did not notice that on the roof of the preaching room, a golden double-headed eagle mark was already being generated.

"What is color?"

Just when the Word Bearer Captain was deeply immersed in the joy of preaching, a soft female voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and the members of the Slaanesh warband in the room twitched and fell to the ground at the same time, and their bodies turned into dust in the blink of an eye. The next second, a strong and powerful wind without source swept the entire preaching room, rolled up the flags of the four gods, and blew out most of the candles - the situation presented in the eyes of the Word Bearer Captain was that the power of the High Heaven had entered this room, and the messenger of the Elysium actually came in person to listen to his preaching!

"Color is sound, shape, taste and touch, and color is the dust of the soul."

After thinking about it in his mind, the Word Bearer Captain quickly gave an answer.

"What is evil?"

"Evil is the cycle of cause and effect - this is in line with the way of Nurgle, but the Lord of Pleasure uses great power and supreme desire to promote the path of lust, so that evil never stops and becomes a path of its own - it is Slaanesh."

The Word Bearers captain, who probably guessed what the Slaanesh demon wanted to discuss with him, immediately adjusted his thoughts and commented on the relationship between the four Chaos Gods - considering the temperament of the other two destructive powers and their relationship with Slaanesh, the Word Bearers captain first pulled Nurgle as a tiger skin - at the same time, he also secretly prepared, ready to use the device in the preaching room to launch a counterattack against the Slaanesh demon at any time - after all, what he said was absolutely heretical in the eyes of the fundamentalist Slaanesh thing!

"In your eyes, the Heaven of Decay and the Heaven of Bliss come from the same source?"

However, what made him feel a little relieved was that after hearing what he said, the messenger of Slaanesh did not immediately raise his sword and whip to hit him, but pondered for almost a second and uttered a sentence that was not so Slaanesh Daemon. This sentence directly burned the CPU of the Word Bearers captain, making him a little confused about why the Slaanesh Daemon standing in front of him came to find him.

".......The Chaos Powers are all from the same source."

After brainstorming for a few seconds, the Word Bearers captain still couldn't suppress his thoughts, and seriously stated the current mainstream understanding of the four chaos gods among the Word Bearers - it's not that he didn't know this sentence Saying these words will most likely make things impossible to change. In fact, this opportunity is too rare. It is rare that he feels that if he doesn't say these words, his Primarch will not forgive him!

There was a brief silence.

"Ha... I can see that you have been looking for the truth of chaos. Are you really 'devout' believers? What kind of believer would try to find the answer to his 'god'?"

Just as the Word Bearer captain was concentrating again, waiting for the battle that might break out at any time, the Great Keeper of Secrets' chuckle made a series of questions pop up in his mind - he couldn't even say those words out of his mouth. Why is this messenger of Slaanesh not angry and even seriously criticizing the Word Bearers' faith? Could it be that this Great Demon of Slaanesh - ah, I understand, this Great Demon of Slaanesh must have been born because of the special concept of pursuing the ultimate debate, so it chose this way to communicate with itself! This is your chance! A chance to prove yourself!

With some indescribable ecstasy, feeling that his speech skills might have been recognized by the Supreme Heaven, the Word Bearer captain quickly continued to outline the words, and then, raised his head, he faced the Great Demon of Slaanesh in front of him seriously. Looking at each other - at this moment, he no longer sees the Great Demon of Slaanesh as the messenger of the Prince of Joy, but as a being that he must argue and win on the clear path!

"We are not looking for answers from the great gods, but we are using our thinking to better walk on the path of the gods - why do you question our disrespect for gods?"

"That's not the case. Nothing you do or think pleases any of the four gods - war? Change? Desire? Stop? What have you done? Your path has never been in the direction of the four gods. How can you say you respect God when there is a being who cannot even abide by God’s will among the lines outlined?”

The dark lady's clear and elegant laughter sounded, and she played the game of the Great Keeper of Secrets.

The words spoken by the sub-form shook the material structure of the room, making the walls, roof and ground unstable. Brilliant golden color flowed out from the gaps, meandering and spreading out the prototypes of words one after another. At the same time, It even put great pressure on the Captain of the Word Bearers - he thought that this was a move that the Great Keeper of Secrets couldn't afford and was ready to overturn the table!

"The holy words of our Primarch have always guided us on the Four Right Paths! Even though you are the messenger of Paradise, you cannot slander the wisdom of our Primarch like this!"

Although all the surrounding defense facilities collapsed due to the laughter of the Great Keeper of Secrets, the Word Bearers captain, who had clearly realized the decisive gap between himself and the Great Demon of Slaanesh, still gritted his teeth and continued his mission. Debate - Word Bearers, only on this matter, cannot back down!

"Yes, your Primarch did write the true Holy Word in the beginning... It's a pity that he himself violated the true Holy Word because he failed to withstand the test. You ordinary guys What kind of righteous path can we take? Chaos is one, and what is that one? Who is qualified to be this one? When the four righteous paths are unified, we must know that the extremes of things will inevitably lead to decline, and the end of the righteous path will inevitably make all living beings in chaos great. In the eternal annihilation of joy, who is qualified to control these four roads at the same time? Such a being must walk in reality and the highest heaven with irreproducible miracles. He must be connected to the four roads, and he has not stepped into any of them. in--"

“!!!!!!”

Some extremely terrifying speculation appeared in the mind of the Word Bearer captain, causing the Word Bearer, who had also studied the Book of Lorgar for hundreds of years, to enter a metaphysical state of petrification—— He prayed to the gods not to hear the answer that flashed through his mind for a moment, but what he saw with his involuntarily moving eyes pushed the answer to him bit by bit... ...

"When he comes out, the world is born. When he leaves, all things appear. The throne belongs to him. The past, present and future are all his - he is the beginning, he is the end."

The ethereal voice of the Great Keeper of Secrets extinguished the last trace of luck in the heart of the Captain of the Word Bearers. The extreme panic easily tore apart all the defenses in his heart. Looking at this man who looked like the Great Demon of Slaanesh, The golden flame rising slowly behind the being whose voice was the same as that of the Great Demon Slaanesh, and even whose temperament was the same as that of the Great Demon Slaanesh, looked at the flawless human skull emerging from the flames, and looked at the wings slowly spreading under the human skull. The double-headed eagle looked at the great devil holding one by one the Emperor's Holy Words that appeared in the golden flames, sacred candles, blessed essential oils, pure marks and other things that should not appear in the Eye of Fear. Driven by uncontrollable emotions, a Word Bearer captain let out a scream like a slaughtering pig.

"No! It's impossible! The rotting corpse on the throne cannot exist like that! How can he be the end of the four great roads! You are lying to me! You are lying to me! I will not be fooled by you! You You are the servant of the Lord of Indulgence! You just used this method to confuse my soul because you couldn’t defeat me in an argument!”

"It's sad, it's deplorable. Even after seeing my existence, you don't believe that the words originally written by your original body are true? Then, use the words in this book to bet your soul - win Come on, let me go. If you lose, I will take everything from you."

Looking at the Word Bearer captain who was half crazy and speaking a bunch of unintelligible words, the Dark Lady let out a long sigh, opened the Book of Emperor's Words in her hand, and turned the words in it into flames, letting those who The gold that had been flowing from the beginning turned into their appearance - facing the ubiquitous words praising the Emperor written by his own Primarch, the Word Bearer Captain covered his head and began to read from the inside of his mind. Frantically looking for words to refute them, however... no matter how he refutes, a sentence will always appear in the room to refute him - the emperor's holy words easily tore apart the warp curtain. How real it was, it made him feel more and more like he was heading towards an abyss.

finally--

"No! No! It's not like this! The truth of respecting God is definitely not like this! I don't admit it! I don't admit it - Guaaah!!!"

After arguing with the Emperor's Word for countless times, everything in the Word Bearers captain's heart was finally completely shattered, and his soul was shattered into pieces, amidst bursts of shrill howls. , this guy who did not 'succumb' to the Emperor's Word in the end got the fate he deserved, and became another Word Bearer skin in the hands of the Dark Lady - and then, the Emperor's words burst out A round of more powerful golden flames was fired, completely burning the preaching hall, making all the filth related to the four gods disappear.

"...I also talked about squatting here again - well, let's just change the plan."

Although it was a little regretful that such a place was burned into a standard imperial style by Big E's forced order, the Dark Lady quickly thought of new operations that could be implemented on this ship - and she did it immediately. She joined the Hammer Guys chat group and expressed her thoughts to several other Hammer Guys who were implementing new combat plans in various areas of the ship.

"Ahem, everyone, let me tell you, although we can pull out a bunch of chess pieces to help sail the ship, haven't you thought of a more exciting plan?"

"Ms. Dark, just tell me what you are going to do - Brother E will suppress you if you go too far."

You can understand the darkness as soon as you hear it

Lich Zhang, who had a new idea for a sex life, paused his deciphering work and responded to the Dark Lady.

"Just now, I have successfully used the emperor's mantra to convince the captain of this ship to be my skin and bone puppet in the ship's preaching hall - that is to say, if I want, I am already the captain. ”

The Dark Lady smiled and said something very 'harmonious' in some senses. Of course, the hammer guys who already roughly knew the Dark Lady's temper were no longer excited at the beginning.

"So what are you going to do with the captain's authority? The Word Bearers will not suddenly work for the empire just because of the captain's words."

Liang Feifan, who felt that he roughly understood Ms. Dark's thoughts, raised his eyebrows, which was met with a chuckle from Ms. Dark.

"The Captain of the Word Bearers also has the position of being the Chief Chaplain of this ship - let me just say that I have a better understanding of the Mantra after raving on those Slaanesh things. Let them all come to the pulpit to hear the sermon - and now that there is a Word Bearer on board who has renewed his allegiance to Big E, his presence means something, doesn't it?"

"...A good idea, so that even some risk items can be removed - anyway, our original plan was to clear this ship, so we won't lose anything."

The political commissar sister, who understood Lady Dark's plan, nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, right! It's a good idea! So! Are you going to come and cheer me up!!"

28. Erebus must die! ——The Dark Lady who preaches "The Emperor's Words"

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap.

The sound of boots in power armor colliding with the ground echoed in the corridors of the ship. The Word Bearers on the cruiser were following the orders of their captain, the chief chaplain of their warship, to put down all their work. Go to the preaching room to learn the captain's latest mantra - such an order would be a bit unbelievable in any other warband, but in the warbands of the Word Bearers system, this is a very common thing. .

"You think, through this activity of preaching to new people, what kind of truth has our pastor learned from the words of the Primarch?"

Of course, following this order does not mean that all the Word Bearers on this ship will obey the true words spoken by their captain - in fact, the Word Bearers who are still following Erebus are letting themselves go. They are all quite outliers in the Word Bearers system - based on Erebus's temperament and brain circuitry, the Word Bearers under his command often have some interpretations of the mantra of their Primarch that make Lorgar even see it. Black stuff...

"I think he simply cannot 'convince' those warriors who only know the path of desire on the way to the Four Righteous Paths, and he can't lose face. Therefore, he is ready to announce his success to us in this way. If the dull people outside are so It is easy to understand the truth of our Primarch, and the kingdom of lies, the rotting corpse on the throne, should have been burned to death with fire and sword by us messengers of truth - but you have also seen that there are always more fools."

Although the other Word Bearer's tone was calm, the sarcasm in his words was obvious.

"The mantra is difficult to understand. Our duty is to let all the lambs in the galaxy understand the sound of the mantra - Hey, why is Gemal standing at the door of the preaching room? Aren't he and the captain always at odds with their understanding of the mantra?"

Another Word Bearer shook his head and spoke. At this moment, the main team of Word Bearers had also rounded the last corner, and the magnificent door of the preaching room appeared in front of them - a man stood beside the door. A Word Bearer, a veteran they knew from that ancient era, a Septon Astartes who they knew had never been too close to the Captain over the Word.

"If Gemal can stand at the door, I'm really interested in hearing what the captain has learned."

It is very clear that under normal circumstances, an old guy like Gemal, who has a bad temper, is tough and stubborn, cannot easily be moved by the captain who is a new recruit in terms of age. The Word Bearer on the ship They suddenly became curious about what new things their captain had learned from the mantra - they calmed down their minds, silently recited the contents of the books written by their own Primarchs, and arranged them in a standardized line. They walked into the door of the preaching room in an orderly manner, and then sat in their seats in an orderly manner. When the last Word Bearer entered the room, Gemar also entered the room, and locked the door. Dead door.

"Brother Gemal, it's a bit difficult to unlock the door of the preaching room."

Seeing Gemar's action, a Word Bearer sitting closest to the door was confused.

"This is what I mean, this sermon is very important - if you can't understand the true meaning of the mantra I impart to you this time, then you can't even think of leaving this sacred room."

The voice of their captain rang out from the stage, and the cruiser captain, who seemed a little "violent" compared to usual, appeared on the podium.

"What's the meaning?"

Hearing the captain's words, the Word Bearers present couldn't help but feel their hearts sink - although their captain was very strict on the matter of preaching, he was also targeting those lambs who had not taken the right path. Why did he suddenly hit them so hard this time? Although his status is the most noble in this battleship, the core principle of the Eye of Fear is that the strong is respected. He is really not afraid.

Are they ‘convinced’ by physical means?

"I realized so many important things in this sermon - especially some of the great truths contained in the past holy words of our Primarch. Therefore, I made the decision that you must understand all the meanings of the mantras. Request - Your Majesty, you can show up."

Before the other Word Bearers could protest loudly, a burst of laughter like silver bells reached the ears of everyone present. In an instant, all the Word Bearers in the room who didn't know who this Venerable was were all sweating. Standing upright, it was as if they were being targeted by ten million of their own natural enemies - a few Word Bearers who were not very good at mental resistance even had their hands and feet weak and slumped directly on the seats - assuming that they were not sitting but If they were standing, struggling on the ground in shame would be what they looked like now.

"The audience is all here? I'm going to start my speech now! Gemal? How many of you do you think can withstand the test of this mantra? One person? Or none?"

Before the Word Bearers realized who the speaking being was, the candles in the preaching room had all been extinguished, plunging the entire room into a supernatural darkness that even Astartes could hardly see through, some kind of indescribable darkness. The aroma began to spread in the room as darkness fell, causing the Word Bearers who smelled this smell to collectively enter an uncontrollable mania. The sound of music that seemed to be narrating something also began to linger in the room, like Blaming and weeping about some of the unforgivable things, some of the most tragic things that have ever happened in this world...

"...You, you chose the path of happiness? Abandoned the fourfold path of the original body? This is not allowed!"

When the candles were lit one after another under the urging of supernatural power, the Word Bearers also used these wavering lights to see clearly what the venerable person standing on the stage was - not at all. There is no doubt that from all angles, the person standing on the stage who is called a venerable by his own captain is a great demon of Slaanesh - and he is also the best kind!

"He did not abandon the right path. On the contrary, he rejected the true right path, so he got a sad end."

Gemal walked onto the stage, stood next to the descendant of the Dark Lady, and spoke hoarsely. Hearing the old Word Bearer say such treacherous words, the reaction of the Word Bearers in the room became even more intense.

"The path of the original body is the real path! Simply choosing a right path will only result in going astray!!"

"A sad end? What are you talking about, Gemar? Isn't our captain still good?"

A certain Word Bearer stood up and shouted loudly, and then the next second, he was bound to his seat by a sudden burst of power, and his mouth was sealed tightly - the dark lady smiled, He raised one hand and made a 'shush' gesture in front of himself.

"I don't like to make noise, so your captain used to be too noisy, and now he has become like this - Word Bearers, I really come to communicate with you sincerely, you see, I have found the original Word of your Primarch!"

Under the horrified gazes of the Word Bearers in the room, their captain's body became loose in a thousandth of a second, and the skin simply hung on one of Slaanesh's swords, like a shoddy old sword. They swayed gently like a doll with the movements of the Great Secret Keeper standing in front of them - however, this was only the beginning of the horror, and even more outrageous horrors were already to follow.

"Then-that book is????"

"Kuchiya! I don't want to read that book! I don't want to see what that book looks like!"

"Kougua!! The original body! Save me!!!"

"Gah!!! What's going on!! Why would the great demon under the Lord of Indulgence take out that blasphemous book! No! You can't! You can't open it!!!"

When the Dark Lady laughed wildly, ignited a golden flame in her hand that the Word Bearers did not think was Slaanese, and took out the "Book of the Emperor's Words" from the flame, the entire pulpit suddenly exploded. The Cauldron - The Word Bearers who recognized the sacredness of this book first wondered for a second whether they were in an illusion, and then they were shaken by the words on their souls. The impact is a clear reminder——

This is not an illusion, this is a fact! A great demon who should be under the command of the great Elysium really took out a copy of the "Emperor's Holy Words" which is extremely poisonous to the soul of any righteous path!

"Hee, I not only have to open it, but also read the sentences inside out loud - can you now clearly smell the fragrance in the room? Can you clearly hear the song in the room?"

Looking at the mess below, with a few Word Bearers who may have gone too far on the path of the Four Gods of Chaos and even fell to the ground with foam at the mouth, the Dark Lady felt the joy in her heart getting louder. He gently shook the captain who was currently being treated as a wind chime, causing an invisible ripple to spread in the preaching hall. In an instant, the incense that the Word Bearers had never figured out what it was used for was exposed. Its true appearance, and those songs that were vaguely familiar to the Word Bearers, also made its words clear, telling the Word Bearers who it was.

They are respectively - the best incense used by the Empire's state religion when holding ceremonies to praise the Emperor, and the Empire's most iconic hymn to praise the great God-Emperor! Moreover, after washing with the suddenly strong smell of incense,

Amidst the singing, whose etiquette and voice became extremely solemn, the preaching room that seemed normal before began to reveal its true appearance - the double-headed eagle pattern of the empire was hung everywhere, and the statue of the emperor stood in the room. In the center of the room, a golden holy mark is engraved on the wall, and even the floor is filled with sentences belonging to the "Emperor's Holy Words"!

"Okay, I'm going to start reading it out. Everyone, enter my realm and debate with me. If you win, let me go. If you lose, you will become my toy. Those who have enlightenment will be very happy."

The dark lady, who was completely freed from the illusion, leisurely opened the book floating in front of her, and seriously read "The Words of the Emperor" word for word. The golden light turned into a torrent, and with the help of incense and singing, Madness washed away the souls of all the Word Bearers in the pulpit - in an instant, the Word Bearers present felt that their minds were filled with the words in the original book of their primarch, and one by one they instinctively began to argue with these words. got up.

"You...\u0026...! What on earth is #*!!! How did you serve under the Path of Desire of the Four Right Paths! You are actually praising that cursed rotting corpse! You don't Do you know what you are doing!"

Being struck by the Emperor's holy will one after another, most of the Word Bearers had been stunned in their seats or writhing on the ground like living maggots, trying their best to fight against the Emperor's Words in their minds. The words inside are confrontational - but the last few remaining "strong-willed" beings still stubbornly recite the contents of the Book of Lorgar to cheer themselves up, and crazily hold accountable the dark lady who is laughing maniacally in front of them. ——They know very well that even though the Slaanesh faction has always shown no inhibitions, the operation involving the rotting corpse on the throne of faith...

This is an area that must not be touched!

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm a little hard of hearing and can't hear you clearly? Ah, I understand! You must want to seriously discuss with me the contents of your original masterpiece!!"

The roaring Word Bearers successfully attracted the attention of the Dark Lady, causing the Hammer, who was using one of the unique abilities of the Great Keeper of Secrets pieces to torture several Word Bearers to make them repent, turn his head and Fierce eyes were cast on these few - in less than a second, these roaring Word Bearers finished their voices, their eyes widened, strange sounds were heard in their throats, golden flames began to light up on their heads, and finally The achievement of being burned into something similar to their captain.

"None of them...can understand the true path?"

Gemal stood next to the Dark Lady, looking at the scene of demons dancing in the room, with a trace of regret in his tone - the Word Bearer, the Word Bearer, the person who carries the truth, whose life and soul exist to spread the truth, why None of my brothers can understand the true path?

"Don't worry, the test has just begun. Most of them are still debating with me - ah, another one who is unrepentant."

The Dark Lady gently raised her hand, and a Word Bearer who fell into madness during the debate was quickly burned into a skin-and-bone puppet by the golden flames from the inside out. Staring at the brother below who was missing another brother, Gemar sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, I think some of them must be able to understand what the true right path is - again, your Primarch can't even speak his own book. As long as he has the truth in his heart, then under my warning , the cage in their hearts will naturally disappear—ah!”

Under the gazes of the Dark Lady and Gemar, a Word Bearer stood up from his seat, stumbled to the statue of the emperor, bowed to the ground and saluted, and the words on his body gradually ignited with gold. The flame - the dark lady turned her head 120 degrees, cast her "smiling" gaze on Gemal, and spoke softly.

"Look, didn't the number one person besides you appear?"

29. Erebus must die! ——Hammer guys preparing for subspace navigation

Thirteen candles, thirteen bells, thirteen prayers, thirteen worships.

The heavy scent of incense filled the air of the hall, solemn hymns echoed in the hall, and the flames of sacred candles danced and flickered in the hall - in the splendid preaching hall that had erased all traces of blasphemy, In the discussion with the Dark Lady just now, the Word Bearers, who had successfully understood the Emperor's words and received the Emperor's permission for atonement, knelt respectfully in front of the Emperor's icon in the room and paid their respects seriously. Under the leadership of the new chief priest, a veteran from the Great Crusade of the Word Bearers, he saluted the Emperor's icon. On the podium, the Dark Lady, who once again had a solemn appearance, was holding various pure mark sacred ointments and other things to mark and help the Word Bearers who had completed their repentance and sworn an oath to the emperor. They were anointed - every Word Bearer who was so blessed invariably fell into great joy, and then fell into great excitement - just because through this simple but not simple ceremony, they saw the right path and knew themselves The real way to go. They promised the Emperor that they would use the fire in their remains to burn the traitor Erebus, the scumbag who ignited the fire of evil, and turn his life and soul into the fuel of the holy flame. , there will be no relief for eternity.

"Have you really become this...dark lady?"

Although the Word Bearers who could fill most of the entire preaching hall before have already

Although there are only about thirty sparse ones left, this is still a shocking fact for the other Hammermen who have witnessed all this - the Word Bearers, among the rebel legions, have the most reason to betray the Empire. Ridiculous and pathetic legion, the legion whose original body has been clowning and breaking defenses since the City of Perfection, was really brought back to a small part by the Dark Lady? Even those who were brought back were a group of Word Bearers who had lived in the Eye of Fear for who knows how long and had all kinds of corruption and mutations in their bodies?
