Chapter 581

"Last question."

Soshyan glanced at the time. Unconsciously, he had been talking with Kayan for four hours.

"What do you mean by the scarlet road?"

"That's Abaddon's plan to end the eternal war. He has been implementing this plan since the first black expedition. Do you think you have won 12 times?"

"Strictly speaking, it was repulsed 12 times. I don't think it was a complete victory."

"This shows that you still have some strategic vision."

Kayan nodded approvingly.

"During the first black expedition, the nine legions and other vagrants did not know that it was just to let Abaddon get the magic sword... Thousands of Legion soldiers swarmed out of the open eyes of fear, followed by millions of mutants, humans and demons. Most of them had nothing to do with drakenian I know that even now, their life and existence are equally humble and sad. "

"Let's get to the point."

"Of course, a coin always has its other side. Some people think that we have made up our mind to capture Tara since the beginning of the war. Such a degree of ignorance can be called extreme madness and disgusting."

"Isn't your end goal Tara?"

"Of course, but the road to Tara is full of fortresses and fortresses, and there are a series of unimaginable and almost impossible battles waiting for us. This kind of war is not a grand battle, but piecemeal and continuous: the battle follows the battle, the siege war is followed by the city defense war, the fleet war is over, and the fleet war is over. When one world is over, we have to fight the next world What's the use even if we do our best to burn the war to Tara? The rest of the empire is still intact and will soon March to Tara and cut our throats while we celebrate our temporary victory. "

Soshyan nodded.

"Indeed."

"Horus lupeka once had half the military strength of the Empire, but he still couldn't win the throne of the world. Finally, he was like a trapped beast cheated... Compared with the army expanding and conquering in the Milky way, our military strength was a fraction of that when Horus started the war. Even when he was defeated, our military strength was far more than we can assemble now... After the rebellion, although However, the Empire has been struggling, so are we? After thousands of years, the empire is still struggling to restore its glory, so are we? "

"I thought you all lived at ease."

Soshyan's ridicule did not cause any emotion in Kayan.

"We are soldiers who have experienced great expeditions and rebellions. Your contempt is meaningless... Although in some aspects the nine legions are stronger than before, we have demon engines and demon allies, and many gifts from those vicious gods - in other aspects, our weakness is even worse... The supply line no longer exists, and our guns are short Lack of ammunition, the energy and materials stored on warships are also decreasing day by day. A few war gangs are lucky to have a mechanical teaching cruiser or a casting world in the eyes of fear. In order to protect these valuable assets, they have to struggle with coveted competitors every day. "

"Your supplies are so difficult?"

"Life in the eyes of fear is not easy. For slaves, death or dementia due to sub space is as simple as breathing. The spatial stability in the eyes of fear is far less than that in the material world. It is common for a whole fleet to be blown away by the strong wind of sub space. Countless warships died in the dark void due to failure, hunger and riots Forget, or become part of a giant space junk... The war gangs kill each other for ammunition, territory, stolen goods and even clean water. They are determined to replace their immediate boss's war Gang champion to challenge the leader, or directly launch a rebellion to try to improve their original position. "

"It sounds like your life is no different from the bottom gangs in the nest."

"Even worse... In the eyes of fear, there is no real agriculture, nor does the world provide the necessary supplies. The survival of the whole world or fleet depends on the buried bodies, the roots of alien plants polluted by sub space, the bloated bodies of mutated livestock, commanders and gang leaders - even if they belong to the same legion, fighting with each other every day A little pride and glory, or the dangerous and fleeting blessing and favor of the fickle gods. "

As if recalling those days, Kayan sighed.

"The worst thing is that the recruitment of the nine legions has become a hell of difficulty. We no longer have the stable and reliable human resources to maintain the gene flow of the Legion as before. I can't even estimate the number of 'illegitimate children' after the great rebellion - the genetic seeds that shaped the soldiers of these legions are plundered from the war regiments that are still loyal to the throne."

Soshyan's eyes widened.

"Will you also use the genetic seeds of the loyal Legion?"

"Of course."

"Don't you have a blood line?"

"In a world where survival is the main purpose, glory and boundaries are the least worth mentioning. Moreover, most people are not based on blood. It is the essence that determines where a soldier belongs or the environment in which he grew up... In the eyes of fear, the descendants of an imperial fist may become more cruel and ruthless than iron warriors."

"I see."

"Abaddon's twelve expeditions are precisely to solve our severe material situation. Every retreat of Abaddon means that a large number of people and materials have been brought into the eyes of fear and nourished the Black Legion... And more and more war gangs have also been attracted to take refuge by the inexhaustible materials. He has been so patient and looking for Horus in order not to leave Horus The old way. "

"The way he found was --"

Kayan suddenly stared at soshyan, as if he could look at things again.

Then he spit out two words.

"Blackstone."

"Blackstone? I remember this seems to be... Some kind of alien relic. Some scholars think it was built by space dead."

"That's right."

"What does Abaddon's plan have to do with Blackstone?"

"He discovered the secret of Blackstone."

"Secret?"

"There are a large number of Blackstone structures all over the galaxy. Some people found that these Blackstone structures have the ability to stabilize subspace and balance subspace and the physical universe... So do you understand? Every expedition of Abaddon is a victory. His purpose is not to destroy the Empire directly by force, but to destroy the Blackstone structures and bring a huge amount of etheric energy The introduction of the physical universe weakens the gap between the two. "

"This --"

Soshyan was stunned by the picture depicted by the other party.

Once the gap between reality and sub space is torn apart in a large area, it is really a terrible scene. All demons will be able to roam the world wantonly, and the sub space journey will become extremely dangerous!

"Not only that, once the curtain is lifted, a stable route from the eye of fear to Tara will appear. This is the scarlet road. At the same time, the Empire will fall into complete darkness and cannot assemble effective resistance... All in order that Abaddon will not repeat his father's mistakes."

"So... He has destroyed all those Blackstone structures?"

"Basically, now the most critical node is only -"

Kayan narrowed his eyes.

"Cadian!"
