Chapter 1847 Huron arrives in person
The thunderhawk with conspicuous markings swoops down from the red-stained sky, its engine roaring like a predatory beast.
One after another, they stopped steadily on the cleared tarmac.
As the Thunderhawk ramp descended, Luft Huron, the Lord of the Red Pirates and the Black-Hearted King of the Maelstrom, slowly walked out, followed by the powerful Terminator Champion Guards.
On the other Thunder Eagles, other senior members of the Red Pirates and people from the supporting war gang came down.
The most conspicuous among them is a Chaos Lord wearing Terminator armor.
He is even taller than the Terminator champion behind Huron, wearing a towering Khorne crown (commonly known as rabbit ears), a Terminator composed of Indomitable and part Hades-type parts The armor is covered with spikes and blasphemous symbols, as well as Chaos messages praising Khorne. There are a variety of decorations embedded or hung on the Terminator. The most conspicuous and creepy one is a complete skeleton. It was fastened to the trophy spikes behind the Terminator with wire, and was covered with the Commissar's coat.
This skeleton is that of Morv, the Commissar of the Krieg 143rd Regiment, who was killed by the Chaos Lord Jufu during the Siege of Vraks.
Therefore, this skeleton also reveals the identity of this giant terminator -
Leader of the Skulltaker warband, champion of Khorne, "The Impaler" Zhu Fu
This Zhu Fu can be called a maverick even among the many leaders of the Khorne warband, which is known for its madness. He is not from the ancient World Eater Legion, but a transformed "new blood".
Zhu Fu, formerly known as Balzac, was once a sergeant of the Storm Lords of the White Scars (after the Great Rebellion, there were many White Scars traitors). During the battle between the war group and a certain warband of the World Eaters, During the attack, Zhu Fu was unfortunately injured and later captured.
After that, he underwent some kind of "psychological correction surgery" by the World Eater Apothecary, as well as crazy physical torture (probably the ultimate insult), and also experienced the rearrangement and adjustment of brain wave consciousness thinking patterns.
After a series of inhuman ordeals, Balzac disappeared and Giuffre appeared, joining the World Eaters warband as a berserker.
But even so, Zhu Fu is still different from most Khorne believers. The White Scar's unique calm thinking still occupies a place in his mind, which allows him to find the most advantageous position in the fanatical bloody battle. Because of his own way and path, not only did he not die quickly, but he climbed up the ranks, and even turned his back on his guests, conquering the war gang that captured him in the past, and finally established the Skull Reavers war gang.
His most famous incident is his participation in the siege of Vraks and the summoning of Anglath, the current chief demon of Khorne.
However, his role in the siege of Vraks also had a negative side. During the battle, he often found ways to annex friendly forces, plunder equipment and supplies, and even provoke internal fighting among the Chaos forces——
Yes, it was provocation, not personal participation. The most terrifying thing about Zhufu was that he was able to restrain the killing and bloodlust brought to him by the power of Khorne, and use the most efficient means to gain profits as much as possible.
In the final stage of the siege of Vraks, seeing that the situation was over, Zhu Fu, who had already made a lot of money and suffered almost no losses, even took the annexed materials and personnel without even saying hello. He patted his butt and left, leaving behind his confused allies.
But in the end, Zhufu chose to join Abaddon and became a Chaos Lord under his command. Relying on the rich arsenal and strong logistics of the Black Legion, the Skulltaker warband soon became an Eye of Terror. An existence that should not be underestimated, Zhu Fu's status in the Black Legion is also rising, and there are even rumors that he will soon become a member of Abaddon's hand-picked.
Therefore, when this Black Legion reinforcement appeared, his aura of pride was no less than that of Huron. A huge power ax hung behind his back, and his left arm was a sophisticated weapon that combined a power fist and a bolt gun—— From a fallen Dark Apostle of the Word Bearers.
The crowd walked along the road and came to a shrine covered with debris. This shrine was slightly larger than the head of a Titan. There was a slave tied to a stone slab next to it. This mutant's The ears have been cut off.
Slates and skulls were surrounded by groups of mutants. Their dirty and naked bodies were covered with traces of blood stains, and they screamed fear, fear and other horrors. Other rare nicknames for the Blood-Stolen God. The mutant slaves stepped aside as the Chaos Space Marines thundered through.
Huron and others passed through these mutant tribes. At this moment, a huge fortress stood proudly in front of them. It was larger than what they had seen in the distance before. It is said that it has grown countless times as if it has skyrocketed. This is simply not like reality but like it was created by the distortion of some kind of force.
Planet 11 on the edge of the Angstrom system here is also the most complete stronghold established by the Red Pirates, and they renamed the planet Aquila Bane.
Therefore, this fortress was also named Disaster Fortress.
Between the Chaos Space Marines and the cliff-like walls, there is a huge boiling lava lake surrounding the entire fortress. Countless huge arch bridges span the hell-like vast lava lake, and the vast avenues are made of metal. Done.
The corpses of thousands of fallen skitarii hang on both sides of the bridge, and there is little blood of sacrificers on the scarred road. In these horrific scenes, the true power of the dark gods The glory is fully displayed.
Suddenly, someone in the team hissed hungrily:
"Behold, so many full souls waiting to be harvested."
But Huron ignored the voice and walked directly across the bridge.
He could actually land directly in the center of the fortress, but he wanted to see with his own eyes how well the various parts of the fortress were built. After all, what he saw in the center was completely different from what he saw on the edge.
Behind the fortress walls, various large and small factions and warbands have their own territories. Their borders are marked with totems, flags, rune staffs or impaled corpses, and towards the darkness The totems worshiped by the gods are also of a kind. Some are carved out of decayed wood roots with icons of corrupt flies. Others are carved with the all-seeing eye of the great Tzeentch on the rocks. The pale skulls praising Khorne are piled up into four or five meters high. Hills, blasphemous statues wrapped in flesh and blood surround the seductive incense of the Prince of Darkness.
In addition to the Chaos Space Marines, there are more slaves and cultists who serve them. Their exposed bodies are painted with strange symbols with various colored substances, and their shelters are made of rough materials. A hut was built, and warning slogans and dark prayers were written on the cracked earth walls of the house.
Death and killings were everywhere, and the order of the camp was only violence.
But soon, most of them knew that someone was coming, so they stopped fighting and either hid in the shelter or knelt on the ground. Only those Chaos Space Marines dared to directly Look at the lords walking on the road.
During this process, groups continued to join the fortress. Some joined spontaneously, some were brought in by a certain chaos lord, and some were controlled by a cult group. They all shouted:
"Long live the Black-Hearted King!"
'Kill the false emperor and burn the galaxy! ’
"Huron is the true eternal God!"
The air was torn by thousands of people surrounding Huron who shouted praises and screamed in terror, making the ground tremble like a living thing. It was vibrating, and the smell of blood and stinking sweat from the surrounding people was wafting away.
