Chapter 507 Huron’s Conditions
“Okay, enough gossip, let’s talk about what Abaddon’s real purpose is for asking you to come.”
Huron leaned on the throne on, with a lazy attitude.
"A few gene seeds don't require him to spend so much effort."
Kayon smiled, took a step forward, and answered easily:
"My Lord has sent us here for only two purposes. First, to maintain our sincere friendship with you and to give you a gift."
In fact, Kayon's words are also half true and half false. Barton gave him this task, but the premise of this task was to ensure that Huron had regained a foothold. If the Red Pirates fell into chaos and disputes, then what Kayon brought would not be a gift.
But the threats and intimidation from the Warmaster.
“A gift?”
A smile appeared at the corner of Huron’s mouth.
"What is it."
"Blackstone Fortress."
As soon as he heard this word, Huron's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he immediately sat up straight, and the lazy temperament on his body disappeared. He seemed extremely serious.
The things that Huron values so much are naturally not ordinary things.
The Blackstone Fortress is an ancient alien space fortress discovered by the empire in the Gothic Star Territory in M33. There are six in total.
After research by Mechanicus scholars, it is generally believed that the history of these fortresses has exceeded human history, and their ancientness is almost unimaginable.
But the Empire has not understood its construction principles. Except for the main power system, most of the fortress systems are offline. Therefore, the Mechanicum has transformed its own weapons into the fortress while maintaining the ecological system. It is also connected to the main power system, and there are hangars that can load small aircraft, thus transforming each Blackstone Fortress into an important naval base in the Gothic Sector.
During the Gothic War, Abaddon personally led a fleet to raid the Gothic sector and robbed three blackstone fortresses. However, his subsequent attempts to meddle with the remaining fortresses were blocked by the combined forces of the Eldar and the Imperial Navy. Defeated, the coalition then tried to recapture a fortress, but in the end the fortress self-destructed, and the last two remaining Blackstone fortresses were brought back to the Eye of Terror.
It was also during the Gothic War that the Empire knew how terrifying the fully activated Blackstone Fortress was.
The Blackstone Fortress in full operation is almost the most destructive ship in the entire galaxy. A large number of ancient weapons on it use ancient and mysterious subspace knowledge. The main weapon of the fortress seems to be able to tear into pieces. The barrier between reality and the warp releases a pure, immaterial beam.
The energy that fluctuates within this beam can penetrate shields and tear apart ship hulls. It can be used to tear apart the structure of the universe and at the same time release an unstoppable subspace shock wave that destroys everything in its path. This amazing power can pass through multiple ships. Fortress collaborative release.
Even a single Blackstone Fortress is the strongest space fortress in the galaxy, its strength even comparable to that of the Necrons' World Engine.
Even Huron couldn't help but doubt that such a thing was given to him.
"Abaddon is serious?"
Kayon nodded.
"My lord is by no means a person who speaks freely."
"That's really strange. I haven't even bowed to him. Why is he so generous?"
Huron He held his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.
“There is no free lunch in this world. Abaddon’s generosity must be related to his second thing, right.”
“It can be said that it is, it can also be said that it is not. .”
Kayon tried hard to keep his words watertight.
"As you said before, the Maelstrom is of great significance and value to both the empire and the Black Legion. My Lord never wants this place to be controlled by the empire."
Xiu Lun raised his chin, noncommittal.
“But the Warmaster does have one thing, and I need your help.”
“Finally we have come to the point, we have wasted a lot of time.”
"About this matter, my lord has written you a special encrypted letter, please read it."
Looking at the mysterious black envelope in Khayon's hand, Huron raised his head, Kelkus He immediately walked up, picked up the envelope, and handed it to Huron.
As soon as he got it, Huron could feel the power of witchcraft on the envelope, but this power quickly disappeared. Obviously, this encryption refers to the fact that once someone other than Huron himself tries to open the envelope, This thing will self-destruct.
The letter paper was so thin that it was not much heavier than dust in Huron's hands. But the words above were so weighty that Huron only read them for three seconds before his brows knitted together.
"That place. Why is Abaddon looking for it?"
"Because of a prophecy."
"What prophecy can make Abadon so nervous."
"Soon. Before, the Weeping Lady told our Lord that his future hegemony would encounter a huge obstacle, and a gray eagle would stand on the scarlet road. "
"That's it? "
Huron touched his bald head.
"Abaddon won't panic because of such nonsense, will he? Then I really think highly of him."
"The Crying Lady has not made any mistakes so far. ."
"Do you believe it?"
Faced with Huron's question, Kayon was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice:
"I only follow the Warmaster's orders."
"That means you don't believe it either."
"I never said that."
"Come on. , Abaddon is not here, let’s talk about what’s on our mind.”
Huron put his right elbow on the armrest of the chair, leaned forward slightly, and moved.
"The place Abaddon is looking for cannot be said to be difficult to find. There are almost no legends about it. I have only heard a few words, some stories and rumors. Is he so sure that his future enemies may appear from there?"
“The gray eagle, with its meaning, does not represent many of the many forces in the empire.”
“Although the Gray Knight has never seen it, as far as I know, that They are not a group of guys to mess with. Abaddon is looking for their lair, so what if he finds it?"
"My Lord will make his own decision on this matter."
"Okay, that's it. I can take on the matter, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll find it. I can only say that I’ll try my best, but...”
Suddenly, Huron's eyes rolled, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Kayon, I heard that you are the sharpest blade in Abaddon's hand and a top killer. Many ruthless characters in the Eye of Terror have fallen into your hands."
Hearing this, the Thousand Sons Wizard didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed.
In the end, he chose to answer expressionlessly.
“It’s just a false name.”
"Then let me make a condition. If you can meet it, I will immediately arrange for people to start looking for the place Abaddon is looking for."
Kayon frowned. This was not part of the plan, but he didn't either. It's better to refuse directly.
"What is it?"
"Kill someone for me."
Hearing this, Kayon breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was not a very excessive one.
However, he still needs to know who the opponent wants to kill. If it is a particularly difficult target, he will refuse. After all, it is Abaddon's sword, not Huron's.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, Huron's eyes burst with incomparable hatred. The heat in his soul made Khayon feel like a small subspace storm suddenly appeared. in front of myself.
The Black Heart King almost gritted his teeth and spit out the name.
"Soshyan Alexey!"
