Chapter 141： Church of Ouroboros

Chapter 141 Church of the Serpent of Ouroboros

The other knights were silent, waiting for Azrael to continue.

Silence is the best camouflage. The more you talk, the easier it is for others to detect your identity and thoughts.

Only when all the dust settles can they know each other's identities.

"The Angel of Darkness is very powerful. We have existed for ten thousand years, and the blood of Ryan has been passed down between us. However, Chaos and traitors have never given up on the idea of ​​pulling us into the abyss. They desire and seek our weaknesses. Those Traitors hide in warbands and Corruptors hide in warbands like necrosis."

Azrael whispered.

The Horus Heresy is defeated by the Loyalists.

The traitors were forced to flee behind the Eye of Terror.

The incidents of rebellion in the established system have not decreased because of this.

There have also been many incidents of traitors and corruption among the various chapters.

Azrael has been in charge of the Dark Angels Chapter for these years, and he is also vaguely aware of the problems within the Chapter.

Many people thought that Stonehold was impenetrable, and so was Azrael.

After he became the Grand Master, there have been several invasions of the Stone Fortress so far.

Thousands of people lost their lives because of this.

The combat monks, recruits, slave laborers, and mortal guards all suffered heavy casualties.

There are also a large number of dark and precious holy objects that have been robbed.

These invaders are extremely well planned.

Their targets are all prisoners in the prison deep in the Stone Fortress.

That is the biggest traitor in the past, Lord Cypher-Luthor.

Although the plans of these invaders were ultimately foiled by the Dark Angels.

But they still caused damage to the Stone Fortress.

Assisted some cell prisoners to escape from their prison.

Of course most of the prisoners have been executed or reintroduced into cells.

But to this day, some prisoners are still hiding from the dark angel somewhere in the monolith.

From time to time, slave labor and mortals go missing in the fortress.

And their bodies will be found in a few days.

There are terrible scars all over the body, and the bloodless face often shows extremely painful and distorted expressions.

Dark Angel has carried out several operations to clear the fortress, but the effect of the operation is not satisfactory.

As if prescient, the enemy departs before they arrive, leaving behind only profane words and empty hiding places.

This led Azrael to suspect that the Chapter had been infiltrated.

He made a lot of plans for this, and wanted to catch it out.

He founded six closed-loop abbeys in the name of secrecy, and participated in them to execute the anti-espionage plan.

Now, the congregation he belongs to is just one of the ones he secretly established.

With an extremely complex structure and unequal information gap, he ensured that even if there were lurkers and corrupters in the six cults.

It can also ensure that the six abbots will complete the anti-espionage plan according to his will.

The arrival of Guilliman is a perfect entry point.

The enemy wants to turn them against each other and throw the Empire into chaos again.

And Azrael will take advantage of that.

As for Guilliman's destruction of the Dark Angels Chapter.

Azrael believed in the eyes of the Gene Father-Lion.

In some secret materials that can only be read with the authority of the great teacher, he knows something that happened 10,000 years ago.

Lion, Guilliman, and Sanguinius joined hands to establish the base of mankind - the Second Empire, in order to preserve the fire of mankind.

Know that Terra has not yet fallen, and the empire has not been destroyed.

Together they defeated the traitors, calmed the storm of destruction, and rushed to the aid of the empire from Ultramar.

What's more, Ryan fell asleep before Guilliman fell asleep. As the regent of the empire, Guilliman couldn't possibly be ignorant of Caliban.

Maybe he doesn't know much, but he definitely has heard of it.

So, the devil's attempt to provoke the conflict between the Dark Angel and Guilliman was just a joke in Azrael's heart.

But he couldn't say it clearly.

The things involved are very complicated, and everything is said, which can easily cause confusion.

The world is not black and white.

Some things cannot be true.

However, Azrael knew that Guilliman could be trusted.

Based on one point, that is, his genetic father, Ryan, trusted Guilliman when the Four Gods invaded the real universe with the help of Horus during the Great Rebellion.

What's more, after Guilliman woke up, he was inclined to the various resources of the war group, which showed that he was very dependent on the war group.

Azrael believed that even if Guilliman knew the ins and outs of the Caliban incident, his reaction would be rage at most, and it would definitely not be serious enough to destroy the entire Dark Angels Chapter.

If the original warband is destroyed, it will only make everyone in the warband feel insecure.

Ten thousand years, no one has any secrets.

The wolf of Fenris, the vampire of Bawei.

Who can guarantee that they are not next?

Anyone who can attack the Dark Angel, who can ensure that he will not become the next victim.

So far, Guilliman has only targeted the corrupt bureaucracy the most. Other issues are basically dealt with lightly and mainly guided.

The forces of demons and traitors want to use the hand of Guilliman to cause a civil war in the empire.

And Azrael will channel this, to lure those people into showing their feet.

Play conspiracy with the Dark Angel.

Those idiots also deserve it?

Azrael took a moment to detail the plan.

"The arrival of Guilliman has already attracted the attention of various forces. Their purpose is obvious. They want to provoke the conflict between the Dark Angels and the Awakening Primarch, thereby triggering a civil war..."

His presentation took a lot of time and described the complicated plans involved.

Wait until the four knights nod their heads and confirm the task details.

Everyone made an oath and ended the meeting.

"After today, we will no longer gather together. Even if the conspiracy is revealed and the cancer is cleaned up, there will be no more gatherings." Azrael said.

It is their duty to walk in the darkness and protect the light.

No rewards, no promises, loyalty is the only reward.

"The Order never existed," responded one knight.

"Secrets are our shelter," Azrael said, "It's our way of defending the Empire."

The three knights nodded.

The party is over, and everyone leaves.

Azrael took the time to gather people from other orders, and told them different explanations, so as to ensure the smooth progress of evolution.

No one can know all the secrets except him.

No one will know how all this works closely and interlocking.

Any traitor who destroys the plan will become the prey of this plan.

Every Traitor, Chaos, Alien deserves to die.

This is true for whatever reason.

This is the standard for Judge Gray to act.

As the judge of the empire, she was once captured by the overlord of the space undead-Tarasin the Infinity.

and imprisoned it in the anachronism force field that deprives time.

Until the outbreak of the Battle of Cadia, Tarasin the Endless released part of the empire's collections to help the empire fight against chaos and avoid affecting the plan of the space necromancers.

During this period, Gray was able to escape from the clutches of the clutches.

She is thinking about how to take revenge on Tralasin the Infinity every day, but she also knows that this is not the best time for revenge.

The most important thing now is to heal the wounds of the Great Rift.

For this reason, Gray can only pour his anger on the traitors and aliens.

Because she had cooperated with Kaul, Celestine and others to go to Macragge to restore the original body.

Because of the trust of the Primarch, she also got an expedition fleet to crusade against the worlds occupied by demons and traitors, and at the same time suppress those powerful families who resisted the reform.

Out of fanatical belief in the Emperor and worship of Guilliman, any families and dignitaries who tried to resist the reform were eliminated by her without hesitation.

The scope of the empire is extremely vast, and the wreckage of ambition and war is scattered everywhere.

Some are the only surviving works of Golden Age builders, and some are giant structures created by crazy members of the Mechanicum.

Hell Five is a transfer station located in the void.

Made of meteorite and steel in the void, it is extremely majestic and huge, with a diameter of 1,500 kilometers.

With a population of nearly 10 billion, it is a very famous subspace transfer station in the Nephilim star area.

Each channel has a special node.

These node intermediate stations, as long as the rulers are not stupid, can basically use a large number of passing warp space fleets to become prosperous colonies.

Hell No. 5 Transit Station prospered precisely because of this.

Businessmen like this route very much, it is fast, safe, and highly secretive.

They can hire some wild, uncertified navigators to assist them in navigating this route, greatly reducing the cost.

At its peak, Hell-5 was able to transfer materials from nearly a hundred galaxies, and it prospered to the extreme.

Until the arrival of the Great Rift.

All of this is broken, the glory is no longer, and it is quickly declining.

There is no ship currently capable of navigating the warp without an official navigator.

Wild navigators also have a third eye, which can spy on the subspace ocean currents, but they are not good at capturing the emperor's brilliance, and it is extremely easy to get lost in the vast etheric ocean.

Nowadays, the fleet trade has begun to gradually decrease. Even if there are bold people who want to seek wealth and wealth in danger, they dare not take this route anymore.

Hell Five provides maintenance, entertainment, rest and other services to those passing ships.

The passing ships also provided it with food and industrial products from various planets, which made it prosperous.

After the subspace storm broke out, fewer and fewer ships passed by.

Even naval ships and supply fleets stopped coming because of concerns about casualties.

Leaving this extremely prosperous spiral void building only emptiness and echoes are left.

It has even reached the semi-abandoned stage, filled with a large number of smugglers and slaves.

The strength of the legal department is also slowly weakening.

This place has completely become an extrajudicial place where ordinary people who are not very determined can easily find all kinds of temptations.

Grey led a huge fleet to suppress the rebellious noble forces while hunting demons and aliens there.

A cult named Sturm has started a rebellion.

Grey easily resolved the rebellion, captured many believers, and learned that Sturm is an evil church that worships Ouroboros.

Before those cultists died, she got a clue about the middle station of Hell Five.

She pursued all the way to Hell Five, trying to destroy this evil church in one fell swoop, and remove the enemy for the Emperor and the Primarch.

Relying on the power of the expedition fleet, she destroyed all rebels.

The purge proceeded quickly.

In the transfer station of Hell No. 5, the nobles involved in the cult incident and the arrested believers knelt on the port platform of the space station.

These people were all trembling, clutching at the corners of their clothes uneasily, afraid of their upcoming fate.

Grey's eyes were cold, and she never showed mercy to traitors.

Just as she was making the verdict, the communication device built into her ear heard the voices of her subordinates.

"My lord, you should take a look at this."

The other party's voice was tinged with panic, obviously frightened by something.

"What's wrong?" Gray asked puzzled in the communication.

"The stuff here involves the Dark Angels," said the subordinate.
