Chapter 485 4.3 Deep into the Storm
"Gone, gone."
Three legions, except for Guilliman who said he needed to recruit troops for a short period of time, the remaining two legions are now on their way to Cadia.
The old man crouched and muttered to himself, the azure Macragge reflected in his cloudy pupils.
"No more than that, no more than that."
Malcador rambled, and then he got stuck for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"……casual."
He put on his hood and stopped looking at the beautiful planet outside the porthole.
——————
Khan looked at the porthole, and the chaotic clouds and mist above Cadia reflected flowing lines in his eyes. The dense clouds surging with electric arcs blocked all eyes trying to explore the truth underneath.
Jaghatai pondered, and he always felt the looming voice calling him—something familiar to him was calling him above Cadia.
The original body is thinking about the next step at this moment. He is assessing the risks of going to Cadia. So far, the reconnaissance matrix has not detected the enemy, but according to the words of the great sage Trazin, their enemies are hiding under the clouds. .
That is the existence in the Immortal Heaven.
Khan was silent. The Eagle from Chogolis did not believe in the truth of the empire. He knew it was a lie a long time ago, and now, the empire has to pay the price for this lie.
Fortunately, the children of Chogolis have all learned how to fight with the wolves from the Everlasting Sky.
[The balance is broken. 】
The Khan said, his words causing Corax to be silent for a moment, his brother not seeming to understand his words.
Khan explained simply,
[The world we live in, and the Eternal Sky - should be a balanced cycle, but now, this balance has been broken, and two opposite forces collide here. This is why you and I feel uncomfortable. . 】
Corax spoke hoarsely,
[This does not sound like what the Imperial Truth should contain. 】
The Khan raised his eyes and the raven's pure black gaze briefly engaged in the air for a moment. Khan laughed, he straightened up, and the fur covering the Khan's body made a rustling sound.
【Do you believe in imperial truth? 】
Corax's pure black eyes lowered, but quickly raised them,
[They said I need a letter. 】
[But—no one cares whether I believe it or not. 】
Corax gave a slightly tired smile,
[I think this does not affect our next battle. I know what you want me to realize, brother. I can feel their blasphemous breath. My legion and I are ready. 】
The Khan stared at Corax and Corax stared back at him.
The two Primarchs usually had little more than an acquaintance, but in reality Jaghatai Khan was close friends with Horus - a man whom Corax hated deeply.
Especially after the Battle of Gate 42, that battle left Horus and Corax almost in a state of collapse.
If it were the original body with a violent temper, his words would probably directly lead to a quarrel, but at this moment, one of the people present was Khan and the other was Corax.
They are the few "normal people" who survive in this chaotic world.
The Khan nodded and stared at Cadia, its wasteland obscured by thick clouds like an ugly scar.
[...Only those who have experienced the storm personally know the color of the storm. 】
Now the fleets of the two armies are stranded on Cadia, with no orders and no reinforcements, and the fleet's mortal crew is wearing out at an alarming rate.
They cannot sit still and wait for death.
[Let’s try a quick fix]
[The Trouble Silence Monastery has told us the taboos here. 】
The Khan spoke briefly and gave the right to speak to the Silent Order. Compared to the Chogorians, these guys with a blasphemous attitude towards the Immortals would know more than they knew.
——————————
The ivory-white gunboat descended from the slowly rolling thick clouds, with the turbid fog stuck to its wings and tails. The airship sank, sank, sinking in the seemingly endless clouds.
There seemed to be something screaming, cursing, and crying in the clouds and mist. The ghost-like mist violently hit the gunboat, and claw marks fell from the side of the portholes, filling the portholes ferociously.
Amid the violent turbulence, Dahan closed his eyes and sat in the cabin as quietly as a mountain, with the cowards surrounding him in silence.
Khan once again sorted out the information he had obtained.
The last order White Scar and Dark Crow received was to go to Cygnus-X1 to prepare to fight alongside the Silent Order.
It occurred to the Khan of the Silent Order that they would only appear on one occasion, as a powerful medicine to reconcile heaven and earth in times of disharmony.
This raid is bound to lead to a battle with the psionic species.
The Great Khan mused that there were plenty of Stormseers in the White Scars, and that his warriors from Chogolis need not worry him in this regard.
The customs of Chogolis taught them well.
Therefore, in this assault, Khan led mostly elite Chogorians and the Storm Prophets.
The Khans didn't expect a raid to change anything - they came, gathered what they needed, and left immediately.
The strange electromagnetic field on Cadia and the thick dark clouds completely obscured any sight of them, so they had to go down to check it out in person.
The sound of broken radio waves came intermittently from the Khan's ears. Khan was not surprised by this. They were already prepared that they would not be able to contact the orbital fleet.
But, what will he see above Cardia?
Khan seemed to be taking a nap. He thought of the ships White Scar had encountered before, those ships of the Iron Warriors or the Word Bearers. He was not very surprised by this.
Things within the Empire were complicated, and he didn't understand the Emperor, nor most of his brothers, and there was no need to tangle with them.
Except for Horus, but Horus's situation is probably not easy now.
The harsh sound of electricity sounded in his ears again, accompanied by the roar of the engine.
"Zan...ming...accept..."
"...King...answer...answer..."
Stab, sting,
"Please reply when you receive it,"
The voice of the great sage Trazin came clearly through the channel, and Khan frowned slightly. Now White Scar's own communication methods are almost ineffective - but the communication channel of the great sage is still intact.
[Can be heard. 】
"Very good,"
The sage's slightly joyful voice sounded,
For some reason, Khan led some White Scars and some Dark Crows to land on Cadia for reconnaissance.
Corax and the Silent Order remained in the fleet above the orbit of Cadia, which naturally included the Great Sage Trazyn.
Khan always disliked those who transformed their bodies into bloated machines. He responded with an indifferent hum,
"My lord, to make a long story short,"
Trazin stared at the screen he had disguised as an Imperial augury, and the detection light waves swept across it. With each sweep, the number of green dots marked "friendly forces" on it almost doubled.
Trazin said,
"I take it you didn't bring that many troops down? The mechanical keys they use are exactly the same as yours - but the number is wrong."
In the dim cabin, Khan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing.
[You mean, someone is pretending to be my army? 】
The only answer to him was the roar of missiles whizzing past outside the cabin.
Ah Deng, I finally survived and almost went to my loving father’s garden to drink soup.
I'm still not fully recovered, so I'll keep updating daily - but I don't guarantee double updates, so don't wait any longer.
No more today...
And, pay attention to your body...
