Upon closer inspection, Kranon's role in the entire process of the Crimson Saber's fall is actually very complicated.
When the Chapter fell into a curse, he tried his best to save it, and after being exiled by the Empire, he also determined to become a glorious martyr.
But just like that sentence says, the Astartes are not absolutely immune to the fear of death.
Unlike careerists like Huron, Kranon has been saving his Chapter from beginning to end, and has never shown strong personal ambitions. Most of the labels throughout his Astartes career are that of a hero.
But the galaxy is always more cruel than people can imagine.
In the end, the hero becomes the butcher and the warrior becomes the villain.
"What did you just say? A lost dog?"
When Kranon narrowed his eyes and said this, almost all the Scarlet Slayers instinctively touched their weapons, which also caused the Black Legion soldiers to also raise their guns.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Maybe you have a point."
A few seconds later, Kranon just smiled and raised a finger, as if he had just thought of a brilliant idea.
This was also a signal, and the surrounding Scarlet Slayers lowered their hands.
"Why don't I leave you here to die alone in the dark? If I come here to be more exciting, I can try to let the empire know your existence. At least you will die with honor. Isn't glory what you desire?"
Eingra Speer gave a warning look.
"If you want to piss off the Warmaster, go ahead and all of your heads will be hanging on the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit."
"What else would you say other than moving out of Abaddon?"
Although he was extremely angry, Eingra Speer looked at the other party and suddenly laughed,
"Welcome to the Endless Wrath, the Warmaster's distinguished guest."
Kranon accepted the salute with a satisfied sneer.
"Better."
For this bumbling guy, Eingra Speer could only suppress his anger first. At least the other person was obviously hired to come here. In a sense, he might be able to obtain the Scarlet Slayer through some diplomatic channels.
Support and restore his crumbling fleet to its former glory.
"We suffered a small loss on the battlefield in the void, but the Warmaster still holds the initiative on the planet. We may be able to find ways to cooperate with him."
But Kranon didn't care about these, he had his own ideas.
"Why are the Black Legion in this inhospitable place? Just to kill some Imperials? This is not like Abaddon's style."
Hearing what the other party seemed to be referring to, Einglasper narrowed his eyes.
"These things shouldn't be asked by a mercenary. You just have to fight."
"Ah, don't do this with me. I have the right to know why I am fighting, and to tell you the truth, we have been looking for something. Abaddon promised me that he would use that thing as reward."
"I'm not interested in your contract with the Warmaster. You won't get anything until the battle is over."
Just when the atmosphere on both sides reached a stalemate again, a strange premonition enveloped each of them. Even the servants looked at the monitor in front of them and the intact bulletproof observation window in horror.
As time goes by, the sense of oppression in people's hearts becomes stronger and stronger, indicating something terrible.
Eingra Speer felt an itching sensation behind his eyeballs.
"Huh? This is-"
In an instant, the void burst into brilliant light, and the accompanying electromagnetic pulse flooded the system of the damaged ship. The cogitator went down, the display was a mess, and the servitor was paralyzed. Except for the observation window that was invaded by the terrible light,
The entire deck was filled with darkness.
The Chaos Space Marines covered their eyes as the smaller men and women nearby screamed and fell to the floor, clutching their faces.
Kranon lowered his hand a little, and the light hit his face.
In the void, a crack opened, burning in the morbid flames of the ether storm. Then, several battleships jumped out of the crack, led by a large black iron-colored cruiser.
"Ah, it's these bastards."
Kranon quickly recognized the name of the battleship, the Immortal Steel.
Of course, it also recognized the warband it belonged to, the Brotherhood of Steel.
The birth of the Brotherhood of Steel stemmed from a huge civil war that suddenly broke out in the Eye of Terror's new home planet of Midgard. Dozens of warbands, a large number of demons and the traitorous Titan Legion were involved in this war.
war.
This war destroyed some Iron Brave warbands, prompted the birth of warbands such as the Brotherhood of Steel, and tore the Fourth Legion into large and small warbands, no longer the size of a legion.
After breaking away from the Legion, the Brotherhood of Steel has been operating in the Eye of Terror in the form of mercenaries. Their most famous one was participating in the famous Siege of Vraks.
The Brotherhood of Steel is one of the 11 Chaos warbands summoned by the Chaos Lord Ax the Faithless. Their anti-siege warfare experience provides powerful support to the traitors. The most critical thing this gang does is to
The tank trenches stopped two Imperial attacks, protected access to Vraks' massive underground warehouse, and used their extensive understanding of the mysteries of technology to awaken the Waldo tank destroyer that was buried and gathering dust in the warehouse.
But after the war went bad, the Brotherhood of Steel seized several Valdos for their own use and quietly transported some of the vehicles out of the planet, then slipped away in their battleships.
Seeing the Brotherhood of Steel appear, a smile appeared on Eingra Speer's face.
He is relatively familiar with this warband. He has also cooperated with the current leader of the Brotherhood of Steel, 'Cold Steel' Capac Tari, several times, and is well aware of their nature. Compared with most Chaos warbands, Steel
Brotherhoods are among the most reputable. Not only are their loyalty relatively guaranteed, but they also rarely leave until the last minute.
With them, he has the ability to balance Kranon.
The ruthless man also thought of this, so he showed his displeasure.
"Ha, it seems we have a new guest."
Ian Grasper rubbed his hands, and his confidence and grace returned to him.
"Send a signal to Brother Tali and invite him to the flagship to discuss the next plans and arrangements."
When he said this to the communications officer, he glanced at Kranon.
The Heartless just smiled coldly, ignored him, and walked to the other side of the deck.
At this time, Marco came up again and said cautiously:
"Sir, the other two have just sent a message, saying that they have changed their minds, are deeply aware of their previous wrong ideas, and are determined to unite under your command and continue to fight against the empire."
Aingra Speer spat directly on the ground - originally he wanted to spit in the old man's face.
"Tell them I'm more than welcome."
But he had already planned in his heart that after this battle was over, he would repair those two treacherous bastards.
"By the way, I asked you to find the wizard before. Did you find it?"
"Found it, sir."
"Then let him send a message to the Warmaster immediately, saying that reinforcements have arrived, and they are the Scarlet Slayer and the Brotherhood of Steel."
