Chapter 1659 The Immortal
“Yeah, yeah, does the great Black Heart King still lack a dozen of us? You have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command.”
This question Full of unspeakable ridicule, Huron was really furious, but then he felt like he saw something shining like eyes in the hollow, and he knew that his words had attracted the attention of that being.
So when he answered, he used all his strength to stare at the subspace crack and let his emotions be conveyed as much as possible.
“Immortal, let’s talk openly and honestly.”
After being silent for a long time, Huron felt something terrible crawling on his skin. One eye even twitched. He realized that a dangerous existence was staring at him. This was his subspace instinct. A warning to him.
At the same time, his pet also growled menacingly at his feet.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was another lazy voice on the other side of the hole, asexual, echoing, almost no noise, but as clear as day to Huron’s senses
"Huron, let your dog shut its mouth first and get out of the way."
Huron then touched the pet beside him with his foot, and it immediately closed its mouth and looked dingy. Walking far away, he started scratching the wall angrily with his claws - Hamadria has a unique ability to read minds. Huron often uses it to negotiate with others, allowing him to always seize the greatest advantage, but the other party is obviously aware of this. .
When the barking died away, the fear within the breach faded into darkness.
A few seconds passed as slowly as asphalt dripping down, and then, the sound came from the darkness, the same sound as before.
"Hello, King Black Heart."
"Immortal, I hope you can join this war. I can provide you with anything you need, including slaves. Be it a battleship, or some weapon contaminated with the power of chaos."
It's a pity that the other party didn't buy it.
"Ah, I'm sorry, joining the war is not on my schedule. My cabin is already filled with slaves and ammunition. Oh, I forgot to mention that some of them are borrowed from you. I will consider returning them when I have time in the future. "
"Those things are just a gift for us to meet each other, but are you here just for this little profit, Immortal? For a being like you, this alone is not worth it. Take a trip? The Imperial Expeditionary Force has arrived at the Maelstrom. They are a group of cowardly lambs. Are you willing to miss this feast? "
"Come on, I despise the Imperial people, but they are. If you are so vulnerable, will you come to me? I have heard from many people that your power is close to Abaddon, why do you need to find an unknown person like me? As for cowardice, I am not in the empire for the time being. People don’t feel it, but they are here hehehe.”
Huron was not annoyed, smiled slightly, and asked:
“Then what is your purpose in going to the Maelstrom?” What? I've heard a lot about your deeds and know that you like to hunt valuable prey and champions that you think are worthy of a fight, so I guess... someone must have seen or heard something and told it. You.”
There was no response from the other side of the hole, only a slight sound of wind, and Huron continued to speak in an unhurried tone.
“We have fought against the Astral Knights several times, and several veterans who have experienced thousands of years of war noticed that some of them used some unique sword skills. This sword skills were originally It belonged to an elite group of the Third Legion 10,000 years ago, but it almost disappeared after the Horus Heresy. There are only a few people who know how to use it now."
"You know a lot, and then what. ?”
Although the other party’s voice seemed careless, Huron already understood that he had grasped the other party’s mind, and there was some smile in his voice.
“I have also heard a legend told by veterans who have experienced the Great Crusade. In the past, the Third Legion had a group of elite warriors called the Blades of the Royal Court. They were the champions of champions, with superb swordsmanship, and everyone They all have their own unique sword paths, but most of them died in the long war, especially those who were loyal to the empire, all died on Istvan III.”
Silence fell again, this time extremely long.
"Oh, you are very well informed."
When the other party spoke again, he was no longer as lazy as before.
"It seems that you, King of Black Hearts, have decided to take over me? Can't your hundreds of thousands of rubbish give you a sense of security? I heard... you were severely humiliated by that man named Soshiyang. Twice? ""I admit that I need a champion like you. In exchange, I will help you find the answer you are looking for, and it is hidden among the Astral Knights."
Even though he was so humiliated by the other party, Huron still seemed very calm,
"The premise is that you have to help me win this war."
"So this is a contract?"
“That’s understandable.”
“I understand, my employer.”
The mocking voice came again.
“I will be your loyal helper, so don’t be afraid of me. I will personally take off Soshyan’s head, which will be a very glorious trophy.”
“Believe it. You have this ability, Lucius the Immortal, but we should make a better plan. There will be an opportunity in the near future, maybe you can try it, but it is a bit dangerous."
Hearing that name, those. The Red Pirate Terminator standing at the edge of the hall even subconsciously turned his head to look at the void, because the Immortal in Huron's mouth was indeed too famous.
Lucius, former Captain of the Thirteenth Company of the Emperor's Children Legion, was also the best swordsman in the legion. He was famous for his swordsmanship and single combat during the Great Crusade, and rarely lost.
On Istvan III, Lucius was originally a loyalist of the Legion, but later defected and rebelled. After the Legion fell into the embrace of the evil god Slaanesh, he abandoned everything in the past and became a champion of Slaanesh with only arrogance. And established the warband the Flawless Blades, and committed many horrific crimes during their ten thousand years of wandering.
However, what really made Lucius famous was the unique power he was given by the evil god. After the great rebellion, Lucius was killed by the lord commander Serius in a duel, and The body was broken into thousands of pieces, but a few days later, Serius began to become crazy and looked more and more like Lucius.
In the end, the Emperor's Children commander completely transformed into Lucius, and the original Serius was left with only a face attached to Lucius's armor and wailing.
From now on, anyone who feels the satisfaction when defeating Lucius will be possessed by Lucius and eventually be taken away, leaving only a wailing face attached to the armor, Lucius Hughes is also called the Immortal.
Over the years, his examples include slaying an Emperor's Champion of the Black Templars, single-handedly destroying a Wolf Hunting Party, slaying several Khorne Champions, and emerging from the nightmarish Games of Commorragh. Fighting on the field and so on, although many times he used clever skills, his results are still outstanding.
"Danger."
After a greasy sound of flesh and blood squirming, a whisper came with a sense of suppressed excitement.
"That's exactly what I want..."
The corners of Huron's mouth slowly raised, and he began to explain his plan to the other party.
Slowly, in the darkness, a bold plan was hatched.
In the Sagan system, a week after Soshyan held a joint meeting between the imperial agencies and the hive nobles, three more battle groups arrived one after another, including a company of 110 people from the Hammer of Dorn, the Iron Knights Battle Group There are 189 men in the regiment's two companies, and 91 men in one company of the Crimson Fist, for a total of 390 men in the three chapters.
The one who leads the Iron Knights is still an acquaintance, Kadulon, who previously participated in the Feast of Blades. Now he is the company commander, and the one who leads the Hammer of Dorn is an old acquaintance of Ustad. , Fabian Banega, who fought against him at the Feast of Blades, is now the company commander, and he seemed very excited when the two met again.
The Crimson Fist is led by Captain Julias, who is also a battle-experienced commander.
At this time, the number of Space Marines in the expeditionary force had reached 4762, which was close to the number of Space Marines participating in the last Badab War. Therefore, Soshyan did not intend to continue to sit still, and immediately held an A-level meeting. A meeting at the level of Company Commander Start and above.
