Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The "lower right" edge of the vortex space gate, about two thousand light-years away, is the most extensive new human empire. The "infrastructure" of each colony is complete, and the territory borders almost all star regions, even the Holy Terra. Pious star area.

And the core of this star area was originally the five hundred worlds of the Extreme Legion, and its capital planet was the former parent planet of the Extreme Legion, Macragge.

Ever since Robert Guilliman was killed by the fallen Angron, and the Ultramarine Legion was brutally wiped out by the traitors, Lorgar Aurelion and his Word Bearers Legion took the opportunity to occupy five hundred worlds, and gradually Evolved into today's devout sector.

Macragge, on the other hand, was given the name Idiros by Lorgar himself.

For the next two hundred and forty years, with the assistance of evil gods and demons, and their "eloquence", they either bewitched or forced the mortal residents to become the most steadfast and loyal believers of Chaos. .

With faith and believers, Lorgar and its Word Bearers are steadily expanding with great efficiency, and at the same time, they are also frantically creating extremely alternative infrastructure.

Every hive, agricultural, and forge world has countless altars, temples, and statues of gods (Cthulhus), demigods (Traitor Primarchs) and angels (Chaos Astartes).

Therefore, there are the most "garden" worlds in the pious star sector. In other words, these colonies called "gardens" are all "tourist" planets used for sacrifices and worship.

Of course, the current New Human Empire does not have many residents who have the ability and leisure to travel. Most of the time, the Garden World is used by the Word Bearers to hold grand ceremonies and carnivals.

This moment.

The former Macragge is within the gravitational range of the current Idiros.

Looking at it from a space of tens of thousands of kilometers, one can observe that about 75% of the earth's surface is covered by criss-cross mountains and frigid plateaus, and the rest is shimmering ocean.

The seemingly beautiful environment, in fact, the entire planet has been severely corrupted.

The mountains are covered by all kinds of huge, living, and blood-vessel-like plants. The cities located on the plateaus and plains are even shrouded in hazy purple and pink mist. As for the ocean...

It is indeed sparkling, but it is not that blue and clear, but presents a strange dark red, like a "bloody sea".

After two hundred and forty years of desecration, Idiros has long since lost its "blue" and "green" color at the beginning. At this time, "it" has been completely reduced to the dirtiest and most smelly of the New Human Empire, but It is also regarded as the "sanctuary" pursued by Chaos believers throughout their lives.

After all, as long as you believe in evil gods and demons, then Idiros and the pious star area are the most pleasing and yearning sacred areas.

What's more, Horus Lupecar, the new human emperor, also occupies about four quarters of the new human empire because of the taxes, resources, soldiers, and gene seeds provided by the pious star area, so he will try his best to help his brother Logao Rilian propagated the "New Imperial Truth" to the entire empire, which made more and more residents of the empire believe in evil gods and demons.

However, among the many renegade primarchs, there are actually some maverick brothers, such as Konrad Koz, and the dark sector refuses to accept the spread of "New Imperial Truth".

Without guessing, one can understand that the relationship between Curz and Lorgar is not very good. It can be said that Curz is very unfamiliar with any brother, and even had conflicts.

However, the tax money provided by the Dark Sector is second only to the Pious Sector, and it actively cooperates with the new empire's policies other than Faith in Chaos. Therefore, as long as Curz does not do too much, Horus will turn a blind eye.

But no matter how Horus counted, it probably didn't count that Curze would surrender so easily and hand over an important star area of ​​the empire.

And Idiros' low-earth orbit and gravitational range are mooring countless distortion warships and defense platforms.

According to rough statistics, more than half of the more than 30,000 warships are "long" with spikes on the outer bulkheads and painted with chaotic symbols, and belong to Word Bearers and mortal scum.

For the rest, although the warships are distorted and distorted, and they also have chaotic symbols and painting, these battleships are actually surrounded by a cloud of oily green "miasma". If you look closely, you can even find dense "mosquitoes" surrounding them.

In the cosmic environment filled with high-intensity radiation or low temperature and vacuum, there are "miasma" and "mosquitoes"? ?

This is obviously a legion that has been directly blessed by the evil god, and is most likely directly blessed by Nurgle, and among all the rebel legions, the one that is most disliked because of their personal "smell" is the one led by Mortarion Death Guard.

According to the original battle plan, Mortarion needs to lead his heirs to the Nucia galaxy, prepare to join Angron and the World Eaters, and then launch a surprise attack on the main universe expeditionary force of the vortex space gate.

However, no one could have expected that "they", who have the assistance of a different space and greatly shorten the time of interstellar travel, are completely defeated in the competition with the humans in the main universe.

If the raid fails, he will be beaten instead.

The World Eaters were completely wiped out, and Angron was taken away for research. Even if there was no retreat order from Horus, Mortarion would stop marching with "his" legion.

Afterwards, Mortarion and the Death Guard sailed in the different space for nearly six holy days of Terra, and finally arrived at Idilos, the brother of the "Godstick".

at this time.

A transport formation with an engine room, wings covered with pustules, and living submouths left the Legion fleet and quickly sailed into the atmosphere of Idiros, heading for the sun-facing side of the surface near the equator.

Not long after.

The transport formation passed through the thick clouds and came to a huge city built on the north shore of the ocean, with many dazzling buildings, towering obelisks, monuments, and temples and altars covering a large area.

If you don't go into the details and simply look at it, you will only feel that everything in this city is quite beautiful. The people walking on the street are all believers kneeling at altars and temples, and the believers are all wearing gorgeous costumes, laughing and laughing Wandering among the cities, it seems that the material and spiritual life of the residents are very rich.

It's a pity that these are superficial phenomena...

The flying formation flew over the city at low altitude, circled around, and finally landed on the tarmac in the center of the city one by one.

Moreover, even the helipad for military use was built in an extremely luxurious appearance by the Word Bearers and believers, with gold wires inlaid between the gaps in the floor tiles.

The hatch opens.

Exuding a stench and filled with insects and flies, the death guards left the flying formation and stepped on the surface of Idiros.

It was supposed to be a group of robust Astartes, but after receiving the attention of the evil god, and whether it was their own will or not, after being blessed by the evil god's "toughness", the current death guards are all bloated, and Tao Gangjia is even more so. Their bodies were stretched out, and green and yellow pus dripped from the joints.

Among this group of death guards, there are hundreds of terminators dressed like hair soaked, their skin, flesh, and even bones are all glued to the terminators.

They are the "Death Shrouds", the Primarch's honor guard.

As for the one who walked in the forefront of the children, the most conspicuous and the most massive, was Mortarion, whose body was swollen to six meters high, surrounded by corrupt magicflies and poisonous smoke, and held a scythe.

"Oh, a bunch of magic sticks."

Mortarion felt the hypocrisy and serenity of Idiros, and then looked at the mortals kneeling and worshiping "them", and couldn't help but utter a nasal contempt, as if he was quite displeased with the environment and atmosphere here.

After all, Mortarion had accused Magnus of using psionic energy before the rebellion, and "he" was also one of the supporters who resolutely opposed the use of psionic energy.

It's just that the Death Guard Legion and the Primarch himself were marginalized by the empire, and they didn't get the respect and rewards they deserved, which made Mortarion quite resentful.

But this is not the direct reason why "he" chose to rebel, but because of the emperor's research on different spaces and psychic energy, coupled with the emperor's attitude towards "he" and the brothers, Mortari Ann feels betrayed.

When Horus, who accepted corruption, took advantage of the brotherhood with "him" to amplify "him"'s resentment and doubts about the emperor, Mortarion finally chose to overthrow the tyrant and overthrow the original empire. regime, ready to establish a new order with Horus.

However, "he", who hated different spaces and all psychic powers, was calculated by his subordinates, causing the entire legion to suffer corruption. Even "he" himself had to make a deal with the evil god to save himself and the legion.

Although this transaction included erasing the traitorous subordinates who plotted against "him", it was a pity that "he" and the heirs of the legion could never return to the past.

The originally clean and shining armor became rotten and crumbled, and the fit and strong physique turned into bloated and fat with pustules. What's more ironic is that after being reduced to the appearance of neither human nor ghost, their weapons and power armor were all damaged. With the strengthening of chaos power, the combat capability is far beyond the past.

Therefore, Mortarion, who hates different spaces, because of his body's corruption and inner torment, made "he" not have a good impression of the Word Bearers and the pious star area, so he could not fight much, brothers killed each other, and then slaughtered the faith Chaotic mortal believers are enough to save Lorgar's face.

Besides, "he" can also distinguish between right and wrong. At present, all brothers and all legions are needed to work together to solve the human invasion from another universe.

As soon as Mortarion and "his" guards and elite veterans left the tarmac, a body was also deformed, and a company of Word Bearers with demons attached to their bodies stepped forward to greet them.

The leader of this company is an old, treacherous guy wearing exclusive Terminator power armor, and this guy also showed an ugly smile, saying: "Dear Lord of the Death Guard, I am the Word Bearer The commander of the first company, Kor Phaeron, Aurelian has been waiting for you in the Temple of the Gods for a long time."

"..."

Hearing this, Mortarion looked down at this thing called Kor Phaeron without saying a word. Due to the swollen face, he couldn't distinguish the facial expression of the primarch. However, through his sharp eyes, Just know that "he" seems very unhappy.

the end.

Mortarion still ignored Kor Phaeron, and directly led his sons forward, towards the Temple of the Gods not far ahead, which occupied a huge area.

As for Col Phaeron, who was ignored, he didn't care about these details at all, and directed the company to move forward.

Soon, these depraved giants came to the square where tens of thousands of believers gathered.

Afterwards, they accept the worship of the believers, cross the square, step over the steps, and reach the platform that leads to the hall of the temple.

At this time, Mortarion signaled the guards and veterans to wait here first. "His" preparation and relationship are not good, but Lorgar, who is still a brother, has a good discussion.

But that Kor Phaeron actually wanted to enter together, ready to listen to the conversation between the two Primarchs? !

then…

With a sound of "Boom!", Mortarion swung the scythe at an unstoppable speed, and used the back of the blade to forcefully send Kor Phaeron flying nearly thirty meters away.

"Fuck off, you don't have a chance to interrupt, disgusting thing." Mortarion cursed.

Although Mortarion's appearance is much more disgusting than Kor Phaeron's, but in terms of heart and mind, Kor Phaeron is one of the best bastards in the galaxy. After all, it is this guy and another "famous" pregnant The Speaker first turned to Chaos, bewitched Lorgar, calculated Horus, and set off a civil war in the human empire.

It can be said that the death of trillions of human beings, and the rapid expansion of the power of different spaces, and so on, can all be attributed to Kor Phaeron and the other Word Bearer.

It was really the other heinous Word Bearer bastard who joined forces with the traitors who had long since disappeared to completely corrupt "him" and the Death Guard.

If it wasn't for Horus pressing down on it and worrying about damaging "him" and Lorgar, and even affecting the relationship between the Death Guard and the Word Bearers, Mortarion might have killed Cole on the spot Fallon, by the way, go find another bastard Word Bearer who is avoiding "him".

After teaching the scum of "no big or small", Mortarion walked through the Word Bearers who raised their guard against "him" and went straight to the hall of the temple.

walk in.

"He" saw that on both sides of the spacious and resplendent hall stood the statues of the gods carved and made by the most outstanding craftsmen of Idiros.

There are the enchanting Slaanesh, the armored Khorne, and dozens of other "gods".

On the other hand, Lorgar Aurelion, "his" had chaotic symbols and writings emitting faint red light printed on his skin, and his brother in luxurious armor was kneeling on his knees, praying devoutly to the statue on the left.

Seeing such a scene, Mortarion couldn't help feeling disgusted, but he still approached Lorgar patiently, and said: "Lorgar, my legion and I need a short rest, and I suggest you improve Idiros as soon as possible." level of vigilance."

"Don't worry, my brother." Lorgar glanced at Mortarion, and then vowed: "No enemy can pass through layers of defenses. Listen clearly, there is no..."

"Boom!!"

However, the violent noise caused by the forced landing of a giant warship interrupted Lorgar's words.
