Chapter 122: 221
Chapter 221 Red Pirates and Vashtor
And at this time in the subspace.
In the gathering area of the Red Pirates, an entire planet corrupted by Chaos is the stronghold of the Red Pirates.
And there is more than one such planet.
In the subspace, except for the demons, those who can occupy planets as their bases are either powerful wild men or people with huge forces.
And around these planets, hundreds and thousands of warships are surrounding them.
Huron assembled a fleet comparable to Abaddon's in just one-hundredth of the time it took Abaddon.
Even many aliens can be seen in these fleets. These space pirates roaming around the galaxy are also an important force of the Red Pirates.
The Hurons provided them with material and wealth, and they used their lives to reduce casualties for Huron's men.
Both sides get what they need.
At this time, Huron, whose fifty percent of his body had been replaced by various life-support devices, was sitting on his throne thinking.
This body brought him physical and mental pain every moment, but Huron was not driven crazy by it. He became one of the few relatively normal traitors in the Chaos forces.
"The Dark God Vashtor has set his sights on a Rogue Trader?"
During Huron's rise, he had frequent contacts with wandering merchants from these empires and had reaped huge profits from them.
But in his eyes, there was no difference between wandering traders and pirates, and he never took such people seriously.
He had heard about Abaddon's Black Crusade being thwarted, and now the Dark Gods were not paying attention to that battlefield, but were offering him a deal to go to Macragge and kill a Rogue Trader? It was hard for Huron not to connect them together.
He rejected without hesitation the Chaos Gods' proposal that he attack Ultramar in full force to find Gao Yi and kill him.
As a pure egoist, this would do him and his Red Pirates no good.
And the blessing of the Chaos Gods? If he was willing to accept it, he wouldn't have to endure the pain he is suffering now.
However, having become a demonic being, he would rather continue to exist as a "human". Although his current body is far from that of a normal human being, he still clings to everything he can get as a human being in this world.
In his eyes, surrendering to the enemy was ultimately an act of helplessness. He did not want to rebel, but was forced to do so by those insect-like high lords and the corrupt imperial policy!
If those high lords are willing to provide him with resources, he can even clear out the chaotic forces in the Maelstrom and relieve the pressure on the Empire.
It's just that he was unwilling to do so, but countless ambitious people among the Red Pirates were willing to take on this job.
Many people yearn for the power of the gods, and in order to obtain this power, they are willing to do everything they can to please the gods.
Willing to be a pawn of the Chaos Gods.
"My Lord. Vengar took control of the Black Stone Fortress gifted by Abaddon without authorization and has left. In addition to him, some other fleets have also formed an alliance with him and set off together. Accompanying them are many alien pirates. They are betraying us!"
Huron looked at the former Star Claw in front of him, the brother who came to the Warp with him, and he did not show any anger.
"This ignorant fellow is trying to gain more fame and power from the Chaos Gods in order to replace me. Are there not many such people among the Red Pirates?
Have these guys, who have been dazzled by the temptation of Chaos, ever thought about why the gods want them to do this?
Ultramarines... do you really think it's so easy to defeat them? That's not fighting in the warp, that's fighting in the real universe!
Let them go, maybe they can help me get rid of the unstable factors in the team."
"Okay, my lord, then I won't send out the fleet to stop them."
"Wait... Gather the fleet. We won't join the war directly, but we need to keep Blackstone Fortress. If Vengar can't hold on, I will bring Blackstone Fortress back. This battleship is still very important to the Red Pirates."
"I'll do it right away!"
As Huron's orders were given, those forces that were completely loyal to Huron also began to set sail through the turbulent warp.
And in the Blackstone Fortress given by Abaddon.
The traitor of the Blood Angels, Vengar, is heading towards Macragge with the Red Corsairs who are willing to follow him.
Considering the Black Rage and Bloodthirst a Warp curse he was cast out of the Chapter and declared a traitor.
The huge Black Stone Fortress is surrounded by various space pirate warships, aliens, greenskins, and even a group of dark elves wandering outside.
In addition to the Red Pirates, there is also a huge flesh-and-blood warship.
The size of this battleship is very unusual. From the outside, it does not look like a battleship at all. It looks like countless junked space ships that have been forcibly fused together by the evil magic of chaos.
And Tzeentch is using his power to open up a path for them in space.
Tzeentch has promised Vangarki that if he succeeds, he will raise him to a demon and help him obtain the position of Lord of the Red Corsairs.
And this time, Vangar is cooperating not only with Tzeentch, but also with Vashtor, the Lord of the Soul Forge.
At this time, Vashtor was walking in the Blackstone Fortress with his blasphemous body.
His hands slid across the wall of the Blackstone Fortress, and the electronic waste code transformed from divine power was flowing inside the battleship, corrupting the machine soul within.
Vashtor could feel the madness of the machine soul, but he could still sense that the machine soul of this battleship was actually rebelling against him.
A group of black oil men took over much of the control of Blackstone.
"Veengar, I can provide you with a large number of demon engines, weapons and equipment, and warships when you fight for the Lord of the Red Pirates, but you must hand over that human to me!"
There was unreserved hatred in Vashtor's tone.
As the influence of the technology brought by Gao Yi grows, the authority of the God of Machinery becomes stronger and stronger.
Gao Yi is eroding and taking away what originally belonged to Vashtor.
His attempts to invade the Order of the Holy Mechanicus almost all failed, and his attempts to seize technology from branches of the Order were also unsuccessful.
The existence of the Mark of Purity made the Chaos Code, which he was so proud of, become a decoration.
Due to the low cost, Pavian asked the priests to stick one on every time they activated the machine to ensure the purity of the machine soul.
And Vashtor's followers lurking in the Imperial Mechanicus were completely defeated in the confrontation with the Holy Mechanicus.
His influence within the empire was waning.
The believers even began to doubt whether the Chaos Code he bestowed was really powerful enough.
The doubts from his believers made him further away from his dream of becoming a god, and the power of faith that could be provided to him became less and less.
He knew that Jianqi was deliberately using his power to destroy Gao Yi, but he had no choice but to eat the poisonous apple.
Feeling his strength weakening, Vashtor knew he was running out of time.
The only thing he could do now was to get rid of Gao Yi, seize everything that belonged to Gao Yi, and prove himself to his believers.
For him, this is also a gamble. If he loses, it will be difficult for him to have a chance to turn things around, but if he wins, he may get unprecedented benefits.
To this end, he brought his most elite Dark Mechanicus army, as well as the Ark of Evil Omen, which should not have been here.
He has not yet completely controlled these disaster-like warships.
These warships, like living creatures, need to be connected by the magic steel nerve plexus composed of his divine power.
The Warp Demons that had signed a contract with Vashtor or were forcibly captured were bound by him in brass, machinery and gears to control these warships.
"I will not fail. I will use the life of that so-called Rogue Trader and the defeat of the Ultramarines this time to establish my position as a Red Corsair!
I will be the Lord of the Red Corsairs!"
It was just that Vashtor scoffed at Free Vengar's bold words.
In his eyes, these Astartes are still just weak humans and will always be their tools.
As the warp channel was opened, countless warships headed towards the various planets in Ultramar.
Vangar is arrogant, but not stupid. He needs these pirates and fleets under his command to attract the fleet of the Extreme Marines.
As a former loyalist, he also has a certain understanding of the Ultramarines and knows how powerful they are
