"The era of the Primarch is over!!!"

——Abaddon the Despoiler

After being silent for more than two thousand years, the former Traitor Legion, the Black Legion, composed of the Sons of Horus and some renegade Space Marines, reappeared in a flamboyant manner under the leadership of the Despoiler Abaddon. In front of the empire.

Different from the previous small fights, taking advantage of the embers of the Beast War, plunder as much supplies as possible and develop an army.

Abaddon the Despoiler realized that now, with the Empire in turmoil, the Ecclesiarchy collapsing, and the legions busy arresting the Blood Angels, it was the best time for him to expand his army and occupy territory.

Long before the Ascension of Sanguinius, Abaddon, who had learned some message in the warp, had already prepared for this Black Crusade.

This army has been developing in subspace for thousands of years.

On the fourth day after the Ascension Day of Sanguinius, when every star field was immersed in huge shock and hurriedly arrested the Blood Angels, Warmaster Abaddon's fleet slowly emerged from a hazy star field in Asia. It drove out of the space rift.

With lightning speed, Abaddon captured a series of star fields in the Obscura.

After confirming the star sectors where he and his legion would need to be stationed for a long time, Abaddon decisively carried out almost inhumane plundering methods on the remaining planets.

While the Empire was still immersed in the grief and shock of Sanguinius's fall, the Black Legion ignited the flames of war and quickly spread towards the Pacific Star Territory.

Although the original body is now dead, the huge army and logistics support system left by the original body cannot be shaken overnight. Therefore, Abaddon deliberately chose the Obscure Star Region and the Taiping Star Region. After the Great Rebellion, these two It is in a star region where the empire's forces are less involved.

Due to the chaos of the Blood Angels on the Imperial side and the Black Legion being well prepared, Abaddon's attack plan went very smoothly.

This further nourished Abaddon's ambitions, and on the Black Legion's map, the Despoiler used the blood of loyal Space Marines to carve a path toward Terra.

020.M33-

Loyalty is Hard to Discern: The Black Legion that invaded the Pacific Star Territory encountered resistance from the Ecclesiastical Army led by Gog Vandier.

During this period, except for the army led by Vandire who still maintained the belief in the national religion that had wiped out Sanguinius, in other areas of the empire, the belief in the national religion basically collapsed.

After simply deleting the Bible and adding the content that he was the pope, Vandier still firmly led his team with the state religion's faith organization.

After receiving the notice of the Black Legion's invasion of the Pacific Star Territory, Fandier knew that his opportunity had come.

Unlike the difficult and silent Death Guard, the rebel army in front of him had extremely high political value in Vandire's eyes.

Now, the main force of the Black Legion is still in the Obscure Star Territory, while on the other side, in the Taiping Star Territory, the Salamanders who have urgently cleared the Blood Angels are on their way to the battlefield.

Without hesitation, Van Dier immediately used his faith to incite his men, the countless civilians who had gathered to flee, to voluntarily join the Holy War Army and launch an attack on the Black Legion.

After careful calculation, he himself chose to stand on the battlefield facing the Black Legion.

Just a week after Vandire's suicide attacks, the Salamanders arrived on the battlefield.

But on the front line of the battle, Van Dier, who continued to attack, did not choose to retreat. On the contrary, after repeatedly confirming the situation, Van Dier resolutely went deep into the war zone occupied by the Black Legion alone.

And on the wreckage of a religious planet, Van Dier discovered a female guerrilla team that was fighting hard against the Black Legion squad. The women were lightly dressed, with prayers written on the bandages covering their arms, and their bodies were shining with weak energy. Golden light.

Vandil knew that he was the chosen one.

After waiting for those women to be cornered by the Black Legion, Vandier dispatched his army, no longer just civilians, but around him. Before departure, the high lords assigned him, from the assassins Court Assassin.

These assassins are Fandier's greatest reliance on ensuring his own life.

After performing a natural disaster, Vandil successfully gained the trust of this female guerrilla group. They called themselves the "Emperor's Daughters" and studied military affairs under the command of the local church.

Vandire renamed the Sisters the "Emperor's Brides", gave them the best equipment, and ordered them to be responsible for their own safety.

021.M33-

Success: On a hub planet that was about to be captured by the Black Legion, Sigismund and his team came to support urgently and rescued Vandire who was trapped on the planet.

Through other people's evaluations, Sigismund had a great impression of this young priest who still adhered to the state religion's beliefs and was willing to fight against the traitors as a mortal.

But Sigismund knew very well that the greatest use of this religious army was not to die fighting against traitors - this army that still maintained its faith had other uses.

Sigismund, who had just received Imperial Regent Robert Guilliman, sent Vandire and his army back to Terra and told Vandire that he wanted Vandire to reestablish the Ecclesiastical Faith.

This was Robert Guilliman's last request to Sigismund - the state religion must be established, but for some reason, Guilliman told Sigismund that the newly established state religion could not be the original one.

It's best to refer to the religion of the Storm Sector.

In fact, Mortarion had not yet had time to explain his two brothers in detail before being severely wounded and driven away by Sanguinius.

After hastily explaining the affairs to Vandire, Sigismund immediately devoted himself to the war with the Black Legion.

022.M33-

Taking Power: Since Robert Guilliman almost bloodbathed most of Terra's top leaders, now Terra's government affairs are entirely completed by the middle management and the Ultramarines stationed on Terra.

It should be noted that in this bloodbath, the few departments that survived were-the Imperial Navy, Astropaths, Star Torch Hall, Navigators, and Astra Militarum.

The state religion had already collapsed from within because of the Ascension Day of Sanguinius.

Previously sent to the Storm Star Territory, the current Bishop Vandier, with the blessing of military exploits against the traitors, is almost invincible in the current collapse of Terra.

After a brief inspection of Vandire, the original body died, and the Ultramarines, who were also extremely disgusted with Terra, handed over power to mortals and left Terra hastily.

Combining the forces of Astropath and Navigator, Vandire quickly expanded his power on Terra.

At the same time, in order to expand his power as much as possible and show off his achievements to the Space Marines fighting outside as much as possible, Van Dier signed a series of treaties with Mars, which had just lost the Forge General.

It should be noted that the impeachment of Robert Guilliman was not completely groundless. In fact, the Imperial Regent, together with the fallen Sanguinius, did make a series of measures to restrict the development of Mars.

Under the operation of the beheaded Martian Forge General, Mars has long been dissatisfied with Terra's excessive restrictions.

Vandier realized that he could not restrain the Mechanicus. At the same time, he was also keenly aware that the Mechanicus had a dispensable political status in the hearts of most Space Marines. Therefore, Vandier decisively dismissed Guilliman from his previous role. The restrictions set by the Martian Cult.

022.M33——035.M33

Vandire himself had extremely high ambitions and lust for power. While fighting on the front lines and in chaos in many places, Vandire expanded rapidly. He wrote a new Bible and established himself as the Pope.

Soon, Vandire's power in the Segmentum Sol reached its peak.

In the face of his actions to re-stabilize the Sun Star Territory and establish the national religion, he also won the trust of the Space Marines.

Meanwhile, in a personal duel with Abaddon, Sigismund is rumored to have died.

Sigismund, who had given him power, died.

For a moment, Vandier almost thought that he had reached the top. He immediately sent the battle groups he could not win over to the front line to completely release himself from the shackles.

——But in fact, in the heart of this young and successful pope, there is a haze that has not disappeared.

Fandier still remembers those Death Guards in the Storm Star Territory.

He deliberately ignored the part of Sigismund's words to him about the Storm Star Territory... This haze floated over Vandire's heart, making him unwilling to think about it.

The shadow from the Death Guard hung over Vandire like a hanging scythe.

Just because Van Dier knows that those silent lunatics will launch an attack regardless of any political situation or the overall situation, just to complete the so-called death in their mouth.

And what have the Death Guard been doing all these years?

019.M33——037.M33-

Clearance: The Death Guard has always been the main force in arresting the Blood Angels. At the same time, in the name of arresting the Blood Angels, the Death Guard left the Tempest Star Territory on a large scale for the first time and began to spread the teachings of Hades to other star territories.

And pacify those planets that declare independence.

Due to the Death Guard Legion's accompanying Cerberus Auxiliary Army and the Mechanical Magi, other human planets or forge worlds have slightly less aversion to the Death Guard than other legions.

At the same time, the Death Guard is also generously delivering supplies and weapons to the bloodbathed planet.

The relatively simple belief framework of the Death Guard also quickly took root in their thoughts.

037.M33——0.76.M33-

Aliens must be killed: Due to going to fight in other star regions, the number of legions in the Storm Star Region was temporarily reduced. At this time, a fleet composed of countless Commorrani conspiracies launched a surprise attack on the religious planet in the Storm Star Region.

The Dark Eldar's goal was very clear. While Mortarion was seriously injured and could no longer respond to his heirs, the Dark Eldar tried their best to plunder the mortals and Hades' bishops who had been blessed by Hades, and even the Black Stone creations.

The remaining mortals who were not followers of Hades were brutally killed by the Dark Eldar.

Joining forces with the Eldar who had converted to the Pluto Cult, the remaining defenders of the Storm Star Territory immediately began to counterattack.

It should be noted that for more than two thousand years, the Pale Lord Mortarion himself had communicated with foreign races many times, and a small number of Eldar chose to join the Pale Lord for some reasons.

The Storm Star Territory was attacked, and the armies in other star territories immediately returned to the Storm Star Territory to fight against the Dark Eldar.

During this period, after witnessing the atrocities of the Dark Eldar on the planet they built, the Death Guard, led by the undead Karas Typhon, swore an oath of poisonous wine to kill the Dark Eldar.

On the other side, the team led by Two-Face Vox headed towards the Obscure Star Territory and fought with other legions.

Due to the civil strife of the Mechanicus, the Imperial Legion in the Obscurity Star Territory once again fell into a bitter battle with Abaddon due to a breakdown in logistics.

At the same time, the two Chaos legions led by Alpha and Omega also joined Warmaster Abaddon's carnival and began to promote the Chaos doctrine.

Magnus has also been sighted by the Legion.

In fact, after Vandier signed many treaties with the Martian Mechanicus, the Martian Cult immediately took advantage of the chaos in the empire to launch academic wars against countless forging worlds.

They need to obtain resources from other worlds that have been missing due to restrictions by the empire for thousands of years.

At the same time, due to the example of the Martian Mechanicum, the forge worlds in other star regions also began to fight against each other while the empire was in chaos.

Nominally, the Mechanicus and the Empire are each one end of the double-headed eagle. Therefore, unless heretics or traitors are involved in the internal war of the Mechanicus, the Imperial army and Space Marines will not interfere by default.

Due to the terms signed by Vandier hastily, the Mechanicus civil war led to the failure of the frontline imperial war, and the Mechanicus could not even be held accountable.

Vandire himself shirked his responsibility and deliberately intensified the conflict between the Space Marines and the Mechanicum.

In the name of clearing away the heretics, the Mechanicum of Mars united several large forge worlds and launched an expedition towards several forge worlds in the Tempest Star Territory and the Ultimate Star Territory.

On the other side, headed by the Graai Forge World, together with other forge worlds under the teachings of Pluto, began a counterattack towards Mars.

In this huge academic war, no one cares about a small forged world called Rust under the teachings of Pluto. After a battle, everyone on the planet died - all participants in the war died, and all basic buildings were destroyed. .

During sporadic surveillance, people discovered that the long-lost original bodies Fulgrim and Konrad appeared on the planet.

But this matter was quickly submerged and forgotten in the mutual conquests of the large forging world.

In the academic war between Mars and Grae, Grae, who had previously delivered most of his resources to the Death Guard, gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Mars didn't seem to intend to let Greai go. Under Mars' pressing pressure, the Death Guard commander Karas once privately found Greai's foundry general and asked him if he needed help from the Death Guard.

As the first large-scale forging world to cooperate with the Death Guard, Graia's significance and strategic position are of great importance. The Death Guard cannot lose Graia.

Although the religion is of the same origin, the Forge General of Graai refused support from the Death Guard. The Forge General knew that once the Death Guard joined the crusade between the forge worlds, the nature of the war would completely change.

After some discussions, Gray's forging general, with the help of Karas, contacted the forging world of Faos in the maelstrom.

Making a prompt decision, Faos dispatched their fleet, led by the great sage Kirkland the Chaos.

Kirkland the Chaos, a personality attachment extracted from the Nirvana system, is best at disguising Faos' various technologies as legal and compliant technologies.

To cover up some of the technology, Faos sent Kirkland.

After Faos joined, the situation of the battle immediately turned around.

035.M33——086.M33-

Rampant: Due to the addition of other Chaos armies and the deaths of Loyalist Primarchs in a short period of time, the war between the Empire and Chaos cannot end in a short time. At the same time, the Mechanicus who fight against each other in various places also makes the Empire more chaotic.

In the troubled times, Vandil, who was firmly seated as the Pope of Terra, became more and more aggressive. He realized that the continuation of the war would be conducive to his rule. Therefore, Vandil began to mediate among various forces and took the opportunity to expand. own power.

He vigorously spread the religion with himself as the core, claiming that he was the spokesperson of the God-Emperor, and the battle sisters beside him seemed to confirm this statement.

Vandire reorganized the Council of High Lords and placed the Inquisition and the Assassins firmly in his hands.

At the same time, on the pretext of clearing away heretics and rebuilding the state religion, Vandier began to arrest and judge people throughout the empire. He even commanded some war groups to attack other Space Marine war groups on the grounds that they might be corrupted. .

Countless worlds that were not destroyed on the Day of Ascension of Sanguinius were instead ordered to exterminate under the judgment of Pope Vandire. Among them, there were also many planets where the Death Guard went to preach.

In this way, Vandire is satisfying his increasingly perverted desire for power and delaying the progress of the war as much as possible.

With Vandire's information concealed, the Space Marines, Astra Militarum, Imperial Navy and other forces involved in the war still knew nothing about it.

However, as the border war gradually extinguished, the end of Pope Vandil was quietly approaching.

087.M33-

An outstanding warrior from the Sons of Hades Chapter, Buz Bella, came into people's sight during the Gray Knights' joint crusade against Magnus.

Because of his familiar nature, during the conversation with the Gray Knights, Buz Bella learned that High Lord Vandire had repeatedly prevented the Gray Knights affiliated with the Tribunal from supporting the frontline battlefield.

But after hearing that Magnus was suspected of appearing on the battlefield, the Gray Knights immediately decided to go against the wishes of the Inquisition and go to the battlefield to fight.

After successfully banishing Magnus, the tired Gray Knight was just confiding his worries to a reliable comrade, but for Buzz...

Thanks to the political sense gifted by his genetic father Hades, Buz Bella immediately realized that there were enemies of the Empire on distant Terra.

He realized that now that the hero Sigismund had fallen and there were internal enemies, the Space Marines needed a new leader to correct their mistakes.

Similarly, this young man who belongs to the Son of Hades also hopes to imprint his admiration for the father of genes on the empire.

He will become the next hero, right his wrongs, and fulfill his selfish ambitions.

The first thing he did was to immediately cut himself off from the two-faced man Vox, who had a very bad reputation due to his extreme behavior.

"Hey! Lao Deng! Give me your reputation and connections, and stay away from me!"

On the Endurance, Buz Bella, who had gone to his home regiment to fight the autumn wind, was ready to return to defense and retreat, but he saw Walkers in front of him, looking at him in a daze.

After pinning down Butz who saw something was wrong and wanted to retreat directly, Vox sat on Buz who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. Without any hesitation, Vox contacted Karas who was in the Storm Star Territory.

In that communication, Butz only heard the almost simultaneous sighs of Vox and Karas.

And one sigh after another.

A week later, Buz Bella had received so many supplies and ships that he was sweating.

Fortunately for Tobuz, the brothers of the Sons of Pluto Chapter, which consists of less than sixty people, can each sleep on seven beds together in their own personal lounge and still have enough space.

The son of Hades chapter leader immediately appointed Buzz as the chapter leader, and he happily joined the gang with his battle brothers.

Butz stayed behind to take stock of the supplies.

In order to live up to the expectations of the leader and commander of the Death Guard, Buz, who was already sweating, fought almost the entire battle against Chaos.

Here are some of Buzz’s achievements:

Join forces with the Gray Knights and banish Magnus. (I rate Gray Knight as a very nice guy, with a five-star rating)

Participated in the gang-hopping battle on the Vengeful Spirit, killed countless Chaos warriors, and rescued a Word Bearer fearless, "Hermit" who was imprisoned on the Vengeful Spirit. (As I said, he just cut all the way through.)

Fight with Abaddon. (The follow-up was that Vox arrived in time and rescued Buzz, who was about to die under Abaddon's power claws. The two successfully retreated together. Buz was very grateful to Vox for helping him gain military merit, and further announced the separation. He and Walker Not familiar with it.)

Successfully escaped from the battle against Red Alpha. (According to what he said, he fired a shot to increase the hatred and then ran away as fast as he could, so he survived.)

United with the Sisters of Silence to banish Lucius. (I rate it as disgusting.)

On a plague planet, rescue the Imperial Fists trapped in the swamp. (My personal review is that I feel like I’m back on the Endurance.)

In the battle with Rotten Omega, he was exiled back to Rotten Omega at the cost of the destruction of the Son of Hades and the Silent Monk, as well as countless death guards, except for him. (I became much calmer after that.)

When Buzz held a scythe in his hand and walked tremblingly among the corpses of countless comrades, the only surviving son of Hades raised his head and realized that this long war had finally come to an end.

And he himself had already become the true hero of the empire in this battle.

134.M33-

With the confidence of relying on the Death Guard, together with the forge worlds of Graai and Faos who had won the Academic War, Buz Bela led an army of Space Marines back to Terra.

As a digression, in the negotiations with the Forge World, it was Jin-306, the creator of Buz Bella, who was responsible for most of the communication and negotiations.

-

Under absolute force suppression, the son of Hades arrived outside Vandil's palace.

-

After coaxing the Sisters of Battle to lay down their weapons with the Sisters of Silence, the last son of Hades, Buz Bella, killed Pope Gorg Vandire.

On the same day, Buz Bela walked out of the palace with the head of Gog Vandier and announced to everyone on the rooftop that in the name of the God-Emperor and Pluto, he would establish a parallel empire of the God-Emperor and Pluto.

On the same day, the sages from Graea and Phaeos set foot on Mars and proclaimed the Messiah of Om to be the Lord of Hades.

The age of apostasy finally came to an end after a hundred years of war.

The four primarchs left, the Blood Angels were removed, Terra's high-level officials were slaughtered, countless worlds were engulfed in war, people attacked each other's religions and crusaded against each other, countless worlds returned to ignorance, countless planets were lost, and countless technologies were lost. , due to internal strife and foreign enemies, the army suddenly shrunk, heretics and aliens were watching, and the age of apostasy, this chaotic era finally came to an end.

The era of co-rule by Pluto and the God-Emperor has begun.

Thanks to my friend [Tea Fish] for the second creation! ! ! Due to my arrangements here, I had no choice but to let him appear in advance..._(:з」∠)_
