Chapter 716 Grey Knight Training Program

[Time: -35.12.36]

Duanmu Huai had to admit that the Ultramarines were indeed efficient.

He didn't need to look for the blueprints of the Grey Knight armor, because they were in the library of the Inquisition. However, Duanmu Huai replaced the logo with the logo of the Inquisition—well, to be precise, it was his logo as the God of Destruction. In this way, they would fight for their beliefs as believers of the God of Destruction, just like any messenger of a god.

Hmm? What? You said this method looks like an evil god?

This is all a misunderstanding! You see, just like the Night Guards, they are just the Night Guards, not the Scarlet Letter... Ahem, you all know.

After all, Duanmu Huai didn't need them to praise him. They just needed to kill or burn something in the name of the Inquisition. Those pitiful souls destroyed by them would automatically be thrown into the Inquisition's divine domain in the annihilation world and become part of the Inquisition's power.

Well, no problem, that's what the Grey Knights were supposed to do anyway.

Guilliman was very fast, and the five thousand Ultramarines who were originally think tanks quickly assembled. It must be said that when Duanmu Huai saw so many think tanks, he was also very moved.

"To be honest, I never thought there would be so many think tanks in the Ultramarines."

Duanmu Huai looked at Guilliman and expressed his feelings.

"If they were not wearing blue armor, I would have thought that they were the Thousand Sons of Magnus."

"It just looks like that."

Guilliman seemed very calm.

"The Ultramarines Legion itself is huge, so strictly speaking, five thousand think tanks are not many."

"That's right, when you are a hooligan, you talk about per capita. I really feel more and more friendly to you."

Duanmu Huai silently raised his thumb.

Duanmu Huai was not surprised that there were so many psychics in the Five Hundred Worlds. The Five Hundred Worlds were the most prosperous and most personal world in the entire empire, and the population here was naturally the largest. And as the population increases, the probability of psychics appearing will also increase.

Just like krypton gold card drawing, as long as you spend enough money, you can always draw enough rare cards. The same is true for psychics. The more people there are, the higher the probability of psychics appearing, and the more there are. This is not surprising.

Currently, the five thousand think tanks are located in an auditorium in Calth, which can accommodate ten thousand people. This is where Duanmu Huai will give lectures to the think tanks. Duanmu Huai is not very worried about this. This is actually the same as telling rookie players how to play dungeons. Find out the characteristics and weaknesses of monsters, and then what to do and what not to do when playing dungeons and passing BOSSes. As long as it is clear, they will figure out the rest.

Guilliman was naturally present, and he also wanted to hear what Duanmu Huai wanted to say. In fact, he was a little worried that Duanmu Huai would say something inappropriate. After all, his disrespect for the Emperor had already been expressed, and Guilliman was really worried that something would go wrong.

However, Duanmu Huai's first sentence on the stage almost gave Guilliman a heart attack.

"I think you all know it, so I'll say it again here, listen carefully, the Imperial Truth is a lie."

It must be said that Duanmu Huai's frank words directly ignited the whole scene. The Astartes stared at Duanmu Huai with their eyes wide open in surprise, as if they couldn't believe their ears. Guilliman was also extremely surprised and didn't know how to end it for a while, but Duanmu Huai didn't care.

"Okay, don't act shocked. You are all psykers. Don't tell me that you haven't felt the malice and curse from the warp above Calth. Maybe you have already suspected it, so I'll just make it clear to you here. Yes, the Imperial Truth is a lie. There are indeed beings in this world that are beyond the scope of human cognition, and they just almost caused an unimaginable disaster on Calth, and you will witness their arrival again soon."

Hearing this, Guilliman, who was sitting in the front row, clenched the armrest, but did not stand up. He almost understood Duanmu Huai's thoughts. Indeed, Lorgar's main fleet will arrive soon. At that time, they will face more unavoidable existences. In fact, when they were besieging the vanguard of the Word Bearers, his subordinates had reported several times that the Word Bearers twisted and transformed into some existence that they could not understand in front of them, and used very terrible power to cause certain losses to the Ultramarines who were caught off guard.

It is precisely because of this that Guilliman asked for the assistance of the Inquisition. He admitted that the Nikaea Conference was a mistake, but the criticism of the Imperial Truth——Well, as a Primarch, he certainly could not do such a treasonous thing.

But this does not mean that Duanmu Huai dare not.

"Did the Emperor deceive you? Of course! Believe me, when you see the rebels, they will say so too. The Emperor deceived them with lies... Well, I don't deny this. To be honest, I personally don't care whether they foolishly chose to rebel because they were deceived by the Emperor, but the main problem is not the rebellion, but their joining forces with the evil Chaos bastards!"

Duanmu Huai knocked on the table.

"Listen, this is the problem. For you, betrayal to the Empire may be a serious problem. But it is not. The evil chaos of the Warp is the most serious problem. Some people may start to think about using the Warp. Destroying the empire with the power of space is a bad idea, so is it a good idea to use this evil power to protect the empire? Congratulations, you have been fooled by Chaos at this moment!"

Hearing this, Guilliman nodded. He could understand what Duanmu Huai meant. It was obvious that the Chaos Evil God itself was harmful to the empire. Whether it was destruction or protection, being associated with the empire represented a threat. At this point, Duanmuhuai seems very straightforward.

"So, Lord Inquisitor, are you saying that the evil existences in the subspace are not worthy of trust? Even if they are on our side?"

As expected, someone asked in confusion.

"Of course, just like the devils in myths and legends, humans who sign contracts with them will never end well. They will eventually be corrupted by Chaos and turn into dirty and ugly monsters. Horus is like this now, or wait. Now that Lorgar is here, you can go and see his mental state. They all think that they are doing the right thing. Horus believes that he did not succumb to the evil god, but only used the power of the evil god of chaos to achieve his own goals and save the empire—— Stunning stupidity and arrogance, and you might be able to watch from the special seats how it all unfolds."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the think tank who asked the question.

"Also, it's best not to have that ridiculous idea of ​​self-sacrifice. Maybe some of you will think, 'As long as I sacrifice my soul, it's worth saving the entire world.' But I can guarantee that even if you do this It will definitely bring only unimaginable pain. These guys may indeed keep their promises, but they will definitely not be in the way you expect. For example, there is a world where people are suffering from radiation and mutation. , you chose to make a deal with a certain fat bastard, sacrificing your soul in the hope that they can heal these suffering people, and the other party will indeed fulfill your request, and it will spread the virus and destroy the people of that world. Turn into mutated monsters that don't know pain and are as sleepy as zombies. In this way, they will no longer suffer from the pain of radiation mutation, and they will not be sad about it... How about your wish come true, but? Is this what you want to achieve?”

"……………………"

Hearing this, Guilliman's face darkened, and the think tanks were also thoughtful.

At this moment, another think tank raised his hand and asked.

"So according to what you mean, these evil beings in subspace have very deep malice towards human beings, but I don't understand...why they are like this?"

"Of course, this is part of our literacy. I will start from the basics, but I won't tell you their names. You can call them fools, nymphomaniacs, fat nerds and retards."

"Why?"

"Because names are magical. In the subspace, as long as you know its name, it will sense it. For it, it is like hearing someone calling itself, and then they will come over curiously to take a look. Some idiot is calling it, and then you're screwed."

After saying this, Duanmuhuai curled his lips.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning. First, let's start with the Ancient Saint..."

For Duanmu Huai, this is a popular history lesson, the beginning of the universe, the existence of the ancient saints, the Eldar, the Necrontyr and the Star Gods, followed by an unimaginable war, all the troubles caused by the Eldar and their The consequences of the pursuit of sensual pleasure led to the birth of a certain perversion, which then awakened the consciousness of the warp that had been filled with malevolence and gave rise to the evil god.

It has to be said that these not only stunned the think tank, but also Guilliman was surprised - to be honest, Duanmu Huai's popular science is just background information for the players, but to them it is like a bolt from the blue. .

"...So, you are saying that it is because of all this that they became this kind of existence?"

"Yes, millions of years of war, the entire galaxy was involved in it, it is completely incalculable, and more lives than the stars in the sky died. Compared with the scale of this war, your so-called great expedition and the Dutch The Russ Rebellion is nothing more than a village fight. Their agony, wails and curses before death fill the entire subspace, turning it into such a garbage dump with sewage flowing across it. You can't expect such a stench of corruption. Isn’t there a white lotus growing in the trash can?”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai spread his hands.

"So...they are invincible?"

"If they were invincible, the entire galaxy would have become their backyard, but it's a pity that they can't do that."

Duanmu Huai scoffed at such a stupid question.

"Listen, these Chaos Evil Gods are indeed very powerful, but they are not invincible. The biggest weakness of these guys is that although they can dominate in the subspace, they have no power at all in the real space. In reality, There is a very strong barrier between them and the subspace, and it is very difficult for them to influence reality on their own, so that is why they need believers.”

Duanmu Huai knocked on the table.

"They will bewitch some people, and then make them serve themselves. To put it simply, they will massacre in various ways, and perform some disgusting and blasphemous rituals that make people sick to their stomachs and make them unable to eat, to sacrifice these souls. By blurring the barrier between reality and subspace, these guys can emerge from subspace and do whatever they want in the real world - this is what the Word Bearers originally planned to do in Calth."

"I see."

Guilliman clenched his fists and his eyes were burning with anger. He was originally a little confused. Guilliman knew that the betrayal of the Word Bearers would definitely bring a huge blow to his legion. But in the final analysis, they are just a vanguard fleet. Taking a step back, even if their unexpected surprise attack dealt a heavy blow to the Ultramarines, when the Ultramarines come back to their senses, they will definitely be able to completely eliminate Erebus and Erebus. His corrupt vanguard fleet.

So Guilliman didn't understand why Erebus was so confident, but now he finally understood. The Word Bearers not only want revenge, but also want to use Calth to perform some evil and dark rituals to summon those twisted demons...

"Isn't there a way for us to completely stay away from these evil entities?"

At this time, another think tank asked. At this moment, everyone was staring at Duanmu Huai, who just shrugged his shoulders, looking very calm.

"The Emperor has a plan, but unfortunately, with the Horus Heresy, this plan has also come to an end, and the possibility of complete isolation of mankind from the subspace has disappeared. That's why I appear here, and You say this. Then you will run around like police to fight against this evil behavior. The human empire will inevitably come into close contact with the demons of the subspace and be threatened by them. What you do. The only option is to destroy them, attack them, and contain them.”

Duanmuhuai said this and looked at the think tank in front of him.

"Listen, this is not a war. It's not just that you destroy the enemy. Of course, the Tribunal will give you the power to completely destroy these warp bastards. Under the flames of the Tribunal, they will not have another chance to escape. When you return to the subspace and resurrect, you will die completely, including the soul. Then, will everything end? Of course not, think about it, how many years have humans had? Has crime been completely eliminated from the world? Ultramar is the most prosperous, glorious, and beautiful world in the empire, but that doesn’t mean there are no crimes here, right?”

"………………"

Guilliman nodded silently. It is true that Ultramar is prosperous and peaceful, but that does not mean that there are no crimes. Otherwise, what do the mortal auxiliary troops and security teams under his command do?

"Relax, it's just like fighting crime."

Sensing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit low, Duanmu Huai also spoke to comfort him.

"Just like your world, it's impossible to completely eliminate crime, but we can let most people live a peaceful, happy, and stable life. Isn't that enough? There will always be people who take the wrong path and pay for their stupidity. There is no point in getting angry, and it is impossible to solve the problem once and for all. No one can take shortcuts. We just have to do what we can. Humanity has developed like this. Maybe one day, we can completely destroy the subspace. Destroy these ugly Chaos bastards, but that's not possible right now, so we just have to do our best."

After Duanmu Huai finished speaking, everyone present fell into deep thinking.

"Okay, that's it for the theory."

Duanmuhuai took a sip of water and then took out a notebook.

"You are all Astartes, you are all think tanks, and you all know how to fight, so I will not teach you step by step. Next, I will give a detailed introduction to the enemies you will face. Listen up. Yes, this is a first-hand guide.”
