Chapter 1074 Hellfire Stone
After the Gray Knight Grand Master’s careful explanation, Soshyan finally knew the whole story.
It turns out that the Gray Knights' target has always been the demon Mardel. They plan to seal this demon first and then turn back to deal with Abaddon.
According to Diego, if this demon gets out of trouble, the situation on the Pavilion Star will be truly out of control, and even the Extermination Order may not have any effect.
But Madel is also plotting against the Gray Knights.
It laid a trap to lure the Gray Knights to what they thought was a sealed place. Since the Gray Knights have special methods for dealing with demons, Mardell alone would not be so embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, this demon has united with the Black Legion. The Gray Knights were ambushed by the Chaos Space Marines, and the leader was Telemanon, the champion swordsman of the Black Legion.
This time the Gray Knights were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. If it hadn't been for Diego's sudden appearance, there would have been a risk of the entire army being annihilated.
"What on earth is Madel, just a demon worth such a big fight?"
After listening, Soshyan expressed his biggest doubt.
"Even before the archenemy Abaddon?"
After Herald and Diego looked at each other, it was Diego who told the truth.
“It is not a simple demon. The existence of Madel is extremely ancient, even earlier than the history of human existence. Everyone knows that demons, especially powerful demons, cannot exist in the physical universe for a long time. Even if they are summoned in some way, they will continue to weaken over time, and maintaining this existence requires paying a huge price. This is the essence of demons. They are naturally repelled by the material world and are illusory. Once they are expelled It will return to the subspace, but it does not return to the subspace."
"Mardel is different from other demons?"
"Yes, it is different, it is not. It completely belongs to the subspace, and it is not completely illusory. According to records, the earliest batch of monks in the order spent a huge price to understand some secrets of the existence of Mardel. This demon was also transformed by the existence of a certain entity, but it was transforming. At that time, it used some method to leave behind part of the essence of its material body. This essence became its anchor point in the material world, allowing it not to be rejected by the material world. Therefore, it could exist in the physical space for a long time and would not be reduced to A part of one of the Chaos Gods, with the drawback that once it is banished it is forced to return to its anchor."
"This situation-"
For some reason, the word Golden Throne suddenly came to Soshiyang's mind.
But he was not stupid enough to say it.
"Then why didn't you just seal that essence?"
Diego shook his head.
"We know it is hidden here, but we don't know the specific location. The Order has been looking for a long time but found nothing."
"What kind of thing could it be?"
"I don't know, it might be A certain artifact, or maybe some kind of crystal, the only thing confirmed in the records is that it is called the Hellfire Stone."
"Hellfire Stone"
Soshiyang. He lowered his head slightly and began to digest the information he had received.
Indeed, a demon prince that can exist in the physical space for a long time is an extremely huge threat, and it is understandable that the Gray Knights want to deal with it first.
But for Soshyan, this is just a demon. He believes that it can't change the world with the power of several battle groups.
"Since it has now merged with Abaddon, I believe our goals are the same."
When Soshyan said this, he kept looking at Diego , waiting for the other party to express its position.
The Grand Master of the Gray Knight nodded slightly.
"Yes, our goals are the same."
Soshiyang thought about the next words for a long time, and finally said in a very cautious tone:
"Then what happens next? I hope that the Gray Knights Order can actively cooperate in the battle. If support in terms of equipment or troops is needed, I will arrange deployment as much as possible."
"The Order will cooperate in the battle next."
< br>Diego said, walking to the strategy table with the holographic image.
"What's the plan now?"
"There is no better plan. We decided to attack Attica and eliminate the big plunderer as quickly as possible. If we delay it, more troubles may arise. ”
Diego looked at the strategic situation map for a while and frowned slightly.
"This will cost a lot of casualties."
"There is no other better way. If the rift in the subspace is not sealed for a day, the number of demons on the Death Star will only continue to increase."
"Speaking of which, we do have a secret passage that can quickly reach the seal of the underground fissure in Attica." Diego then revealed his plan.
"When you attack fiercely on the ground, we will enter from the passage and quickly seal the cracks, so that the black army will lose the support of the demons."
Soshiyan Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he was worried about how to arrange the Gray Knights to fight.
After all, their existence is so secretive that they are not suitable for cooperating with the Astra Militarum head-on.
"This method works!"
But then his face darkened again.
“But you have just sacrificed so many soldiers, is it in terms of military strength?”
Diego smiled slightly.
“With me, that’s enough.”
At this time, Azrael also spoke:
"I believe in the ability of Grand Master Diego. He will definitely be able to seal the rift."
Now that Azrael has spoken, Sosh Yang no longer doubted it.
"Okay, that's it, but it will take another week to start the campaign. The latest batch of Astra Militarum troops and supplies will arrive soon."
"No problem, you Just arrange it.”
The meeting quickly ended in a friendly atmosphere, and each chapter leader also left and returned to their respective battleships. However, Soshyan met with Magyar and Titus for a while to chat, mainly about the situation within the alliance. .
In general, nothing happened in the past two years, but one thing mentioned by Mazhar caught Soshyan's attention.
Mephisto, the think tank of the Blood Angels, arrived at Ness IV about half a year ago and had a meeting with Malakin. No one knew the process, but Mephisto seemed very angry. He stayed at the Scar of Victory for another two weeks before leaving. During this time, he also met Magyar and Titus, but he kept asking them indirect questions about the Weeper.
According to the navigation records left by the Trace of Victory, the opponent's warship does not seem to be sailing in the direction of Baal, but in the direction of the Ghoul Sector.
After Mephisto left, Malakin looked troubled for a long time. Although he seemed gloomy most of the time, that period was particularly prominent.
There is nothing else. Ness 4 is as quiet and peaceful as ever. Thanks to the help of Zhao Akada of the forging world, the planet's industry has developed rapidly. Several large-scale composite processing plants have begun to be built on the surface, and new ones are being built in orbit. A large shipyard.
After knowing that everything was fine, Soshyan said goodbye to his two friends with peace of mind and returned to the Eternal Loyalty.
He returned to the flagship and first held a meeting with each company commander to explain the next strategic plan. Then he met with Khayon and Talos to talk about his experiences during this period. and situation.
After five hours of busy work, he went to the armaments room, took off the armor he had worn for several months, handed it over to his servants for maintenance, and then returned to his private room in his robe.
But when he ordered the door to be opened, he found that it was locked from the inside.
"Open the door, Veronica, it's me."
He used the lowest possible voice to communicate to the person inside through the microphone.
There was no reply inside. Soshiyang sighed helplessly and said again tiredly:
"Open the door, I am very tired."
This time the door opened. , Veronica, who was wearing a light green gauze dress, raised her pretty face and stared at Soshyan angrily.
"You still know how to come back?"
"This is a war."
Soshiyang shook his head, and then saw that exquisite food had been placed on the table in the private room. .
He opened his mouth, and then his face relaxed.
“Thank you.”
Veronica snorted softly, turned around and walked back into the house. Soshyan also walked in, and the door closed again.
In addition, some additional knowledge points:
First, according to the official gw records, Brother Drag participated in the War of Disaster. The specific details of how he escaped from the subspace and why he participated are not officially available. illustrate.
Second, gw has done a lot of preparation for the plot line of Pai Mao. It started from the end of the Great Crusade and ended with the end of the Great Rebellion. It involved four original bodies and six legions. Obviously gw is I wanted to make a big living in Pai Mao Star, but the plot should be cut in the follow-up, so that the story of Pai Mao Star ended abruptly after the Battle of Pandora, leaving only the small tail of the Hellfire Stone, and even this tail was broken later. .
Third, demon princes are more independent than big demons, but even so, most demon princes still have their own affiliations. True undivided chaos is very rare. After all, in Asia, where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong. Space, it’s impossible to remain neutral without any ability
