Chapter 699 The Lost World

Duanmu Huai stood on the bridge, staring at the river of netway flowing in front of him, and lightly tapped his fingers on the seat. The appearance of Typhons, Mortarion, and the Chaos Space Marines is like a prelude to the chaos and order in this universe, the eternal war between evil gods and humans, and the eternal war.

But he was always a little uneasy in his heart. Of course, this kind of tension is also normal, because this time they will go to a forging world... Wait, is it really a forging world? Why Forge World?

Suddenly, such a question emerged from Duanmuhuai's mind, there are so many worlds, why is the foundry world the one that survived? If it is the garden world, he can understand it better, and the foundry world... Those hive cities that produce machinery and equipment can really exist for more than tens of thousands of years?

Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tong again.

"Hitomi, continue to look down at the sea of ​​souls, what do you find? Lani, help her."

"OK."

The astropath began to meditate again, while Lani stood beside Hitomi, and then she froze for a moment.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Lani's tone, Duanmuhuai also frowned.

"There is something distorting the color of this starry sky, please wait... Hitomi, concentrate."

While talking, Lani stretched out her hand and pressed it on Hitomi's shoulder, and then the endless starry sky spread behind her, and Hitomi's thin body began to tremble, and then beads of sweat began to seep from her forehead.

"I... I... Lord Lani, Lord Judge..."

"Concentrate, Hitomi, don't lose your will and spirit."

Duanmu Huai didn't know what Lani and Tong were doing, but it was obvious that something was wrong with the situation in front of him, so he waved his hand hastily to signal the fleet to slow down. Obviously, Hitomi did feel something, but judging from her appearance, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

After a while, Lani suddenly raised two of her hands, and dazzling starlight emerged from her hands, covering Tong's body, while the body of the star talker went limp and collapsed on the ground.

"Yes, I'm sorry, my lord judge."

Hitomi, who was bathed in starlight, looked like a poor puppy abandoned by someone.

"me………"

"Calm down, what happened? Be straightforward."

"The starry sky... blinded my perception and misled everything I saw."

"So, the distress signal doesn't exist?"

Duanmu Huai frowned, while Tong shook his head.

"No, the distress signal exists, but it doesn't come from the forged planet. It comes from another completely different message. I can feel the destructive, bloody and terrifying breath coming from that galaxy... Your lord judge, please forgive me for almost The folly of bringing the fleet to the point of doom..."

"So you mean that the distress signal exists, but it doesn't come from the original forge world, it just pretends to be the distress signal of the forge world, trying to mislead us to another galaxy?"

“……………………”

Hitomi remained silent, nodded, and knelt down on the ground.

"Sorry, Lord Judge, I am not capable enough..."

"It's not your fault. I can guess what kind of trick this is. It's not surprising that you will be fooled. Fortunately, Lani is here..."

Duanmuhuai didn't get angry because of this, he only had Tong as an astropath, and Tong's ability could barely be considered newly developed. Although Duanmuhuai can use psychic powers, he is not an astropath. He can only rely on the rules of the trial court to restrict Hitomi's actions, but he cannot instruct Hitomi how to use his astropath.

Those evil gods are all veterans who have been in the subspace for an unknown number of years, and it's normal that Hitomi can't see through their tricks.

"So now, you've captured the original signal?"

"Yes, Your Honor."

Hitomi lowered her head.

"The signal came from a galaxy named Istfan. Its third star sent a signal for help, claiming that the governor of the empire had rebelled and asked for fleet support..."

"So, this is a rebellion, not an alien invasion."

Duanmuhuai frowned when he said this. For some reason, he always felt that the name Istfan Galaxy seemed familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.

"...Do you want to move on? Master?"

Looking at Duanmuhuai who fell into silence, Augis asked, and Duanmuhuai waved his hand.

"Wait a minute, I always feel that this galaxy is very familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

Duanmuhuai began to think about memories, first of all the dungeons he had experienced, and then some familiar worlds in the game, but he couldn't find the name, but he was really familiar with the name, as if he had been in something The place has indeed heard of this name, and feels that this galaxy is still very important.

Hmm...not the Eye of Terror, not the Five Hundred Worlds, and not Terra...Istfan, Istfan...the Rebellion...huh?

At this moment, a piece of information passed through Duanmu Huai's thoughts like lightning, and it immediately reminded him of it.

Horus Rebellion!

The source of this rebellion initiated by the Primarch Gene appointed by the Emperor and the Warmaster of the Great Expedition Legion that destroyed the entire empire was Istvan III! According to historical records and players' textual research, Horus used the excuse of Istvan's rebellion at that time to summon a large number of Primarch Legion to counter the rebellion, but this was just an excuse. Istvan's rebellion was a bait to purge those space fighters who were still loyal to the Empire and the Emperor. Horus used Istvan's purge to sweep away all opposition forces in his legion, and began to The first step in the war against Terra, against the Emperor's treachery.

Of course, from a purely personal point of view, Duanmuhuai can understand why Horus rebelled. Facts have proved that the emperor is really an idiot. Well, that Duanmuhuai was watching the show right next to him.

This is like the change of dynasties in history. Horus will step into the sacred palace of Terra under the petals, and then come to the main hall, smash the emperor's dog's head with a hammer, and then say that he will inherit the throne.

Hmm, is that a problem?

No problem at all.

In fact, from a political point of view, it is very reasonable for Horus to want to rebel. He took over the title of Warmaster given by the emperor and continued to play the role of the commander of the Great Crusade. However, Terra did not become Horus' backing , the Council of Terra took away most of the Warmaster's political power, much to the chagrin of Horus.

This was normal. The Great Crusade had not yet ended. Logically speaking, since Horus wanted to continue the Great Crusade, he naturally needed all political and military command power. However, upon his return to Terra, the Emperor stripped Horus of most of his political rights and handed him over to the Council of Terra. The result is that the Great Expedition of Horus is going to conquer the planet, and the Terra Council will be behind.

There is an example that can prove how stupid the Terra Council is. Horus led the expeditionary force, conquered countless worlds, and made them submit to the glory of the empire. According to the logic, the next step is to appease the people of these obedient planets so that they can live a relatively normal life, so that most of the planets will not rebel, but will obediently bathe in the glory of the empire.

But the Terra Council didn't think so. Horus knocked down the planet, and they sent an army of tax collectors to conquer the planet to collect taxes, and they still imposed heavy taxes.

You can't bear this shit on any planet. So many people died just now, and you finally chose to surrender. As a result, you later imposed heavy taxes on us. Isn't this shit forcing us to rebel?

Rebellion is death, not rebellion is also death, so why not rebel?

As a result, the planets that many interstellar fighters had managed to take down rebelled again, forcing the expeditionary force to stop and return to suppress the rebellion.

Horus was so angry to death, but there was nothing he could do. Because of this, he once appealed to Prime Minister Malcador and the Emperor, but it was of no avail.

Proving once again that apart from living a long time, the Emperor is really a fool. You have to wait until the end of the Great Crusade. Before the Great Crusade is over, you are desperately trying to cut the political power of the Space Marines and the Expeditionary Force. The stupidity is comparable to Song Gaozong, and you are simply an idiot in the same line.

Maybe Malcador is Qin Hui's character.

In fact, from a historical point of view, the two of them are similar to the pair of idiot emperor's courtiers who rushed to kill Yue Fei and cut down the military power before winning the Golden Army.

So Horus wants to rebel and mutiny, in Duanmuhuai's view, it's really normal. Besides, the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. The emperor, a mentally retarded emperor, has ruled the human empire for so long, and he should be a head. .

Provided he doesn't get seduced by a stupid damn sword or a couple of twisted idiots.

Yes, this is the reason. You want to learn from Yang Guang and Li Shimin to kill his father and brother to seize the throne, which is normal. History is a cycle. The winner is the prince and the loser is Kou. There are many similar emperors in history, and there are still a few celebrities who have lived through the ages.

But the problem is, you can't fuck with the evil god.

You want the throne, you want power, you want revenge, that's fine. But if you turn around and walk with the Turks, Jin people, and Mongolia, the nature will change.

So at the moment when Horus was struggling with the evil god, he couldn't be Li Shimin's second, but Wu Sangui, a traitor who let the Qing army enter the pass. Even if there were ten thousand reasons, he could only be Wu Sangui's fate.

The player's attitude towards Horus's rebellion is basically very clear. Horus's rebellion is inevitable, and the corruption of chaos has only accelerated the process. Even if Chaos does not corrode, it will only be a matter of time before Horus is forced back, given the manipulation of the Terra Council and the degree of mental retardation of the Emperor. At that time, even if the emperor has built the webway, it will be useless. If your webway can stop the Chaos Demon, can you stop Horus' rebels?

Horus is not a warp creature, okay?

Put yourself in the position of the Warmaster, who is in the position of the Warmaster, the galaxy world is full of dangers outside, and the Taila Council in the rear is dragging its feet there to create rebellions everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. At first glance, the royal family of Terra is a pill.

Of course, it would be better if Sanguinius can't handle it well. Anyway, he is full of charm, so he can convince MAX.

But now, what does it mean that this signal comes from the Istfan galaxy? Could it be that history is going to repeat itself, and another rebellion will fail?

"Do you want to retreat?"

Seeing that Duanmuhuai hadn't spoken for a long time, Lani also asked, while Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"No, call the First Fleet to assemble, let's go to Istvan to see what the hell is going on there."

You're playing tricks on me, right? Hey, I'm in a hurry and I'll call Azathoth out for you, and see who can play better!

It's a big deal to die together, I'm afraid you won't make it?
