"Okay, enough gossip, let's talk about what Abaddon's real purpose is for asking you to come."
Huron was leaning on the throne with a lazy attitude.
"A few gene seeds don't require him to spend so much effort."
With a smile on his face, Kayon took a step forward and answered easily:
"My Lord has sent us here for only two purposes. First, to maintain our sincere friendship with you and to offer you a gift."
In fact, what Khayon said was half true and half false. Abaddon gave him this task, but the premise of this task was to make sure that Huron had regained a foothold. If the Red Pirates fell into chaos and disputes, then what Khayon had brought
It's no longer a gift.
It was threats and intimidation from the Warmaster.
"Gift?"
A smile appeared on Huron's lips.
"What is it."
"Blackstone Fortress."
As soon as he heard this word, Huron's eyelids twitched and he immediately sat upright. The lazy temperament on his body disappeared, and he looked extremely serious.
The things that Huron valued so much were certainly not ordinary things.
Blackstone Fortress is an ancient alien space fortress discovered by the empire in the Gothic Starfield in M33. There are six in total.
After research by mechanical scholars, it is generally believed that the history of these fortresses has exceeded human history, and their ancientness is almost unimaginable.
But all this time, the empire has not understood its construction principles. Except for the main power system, most of the fortress systems are offline. Therefore, the Mechanicum has transformed its own weapons into the fortress, and the ecological maintenance system has also been connected to the main power system.
On the system, there are also hangars that can accommodate small aircraft, thereby transforming each Blackstone Fortress into an important naval base in the Gothic Sector.
During the Gothic War, Abaddon personally led a fleet to raid the Gothic sector and robbed three blackstone fortresses. However, his subsequent attempts to seize the remaining fortresses were defeated by the coalition forces of the Eldar and the Imperial Navy, and then the coalition tried to recapture them.
A fortress, but in the end, the fortress self-destructed, and the last two remaining black stone fortresses were brought back to the Eye of Terror.
It was also during the Gothic War that the Empire realized how terrifying the fully activated Blackstone Fortress was.
The Blackstone Fortress in full operation is almost the most destructive ship in the entire galaxy. A large number of ancient weapons on board use the ancient and mysterious knowledge of subspace. The main weapon of the fortress seems to be able to tear apart the gap between reality and subspace.
barrier, releasing a pure non-material beam.
The energy that fluctuates within this beam can penetrate shields, tear apart ship hulls, and can be used to tear apart the structure of the universe while releasing an unstoppable subspace shock wave that destroys everything in its path. This amazing power can pass through multiple ships.
Fortress collaborative release.
Even a single Blackstone Fortress is the strongest space fortress in the galaxy, and its strength is even comparable to that of the Necrons' World Engine.
Even Huron couldn't help but doubt that such a thing was given to him.
"Abaddon is serious?"
Kayon nodded.
"My lord is not a man who talks freely."
"That's really strange. I haven't even had a relationship with him. Why is he so generous?"
Huron held his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Abaddon's generosity must be related to his second incident, right?"
"You can say yes, you can say no."
Kayon tried hard to make his words watertight.
"As you said before, the Maelstrom is of great significance and value to both the empire and the Black Legion. My Lord never wants this place to be controlled by the empire."
Huron raised his chin, noncommittal.
"But the Warmaster does have something that needs your help."
"We finally got to the point. We wasted a lot of time."
"Concerning this matter, my Lord has written an encrypted letter to you. Please read it."
Looking at the mysterious black envelope in Kayon's hand, Huron raised his head. Kelkus immediately walked up, picked up the envelope, and handed it to Huron's hand.
As soon as he got it, Huron could feel the power of witchcraft on the envelope, but this power quickly disappeared. Obviously, this encryption meant that once someone other than Huron himself tried to open the envelope, the thing would self-destruct. .
The letter paper was so thin that it was not much heavier than dust in Huron's hands.
But the words above were so weighty that Huron only read them for three seconds before his brows knitted together.
"That place...why is Abaddon looking for it?"
"Because of a prophecy."
"What prophecy could make Abaddon so nervous?"
"Not long ago, the Weeping Lady told our Lord that his future hegemony would encounter a huge obstacle, and a gray eagle would stand across the scarlet road."
"That's it?"
Huron touched his bald head.
"Abaddon won't panic because of such nonsense, will he? Then I really think highly of him."
"Ms. Crying has not made any mistakes yet, for now."
"Then do you believe it?"
Facing Huron's question, Kayon was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a low voice:
"I only obey the Warmaster's orders."
"That means you don't believe it either."
"I never said that."
"Come on, Abaddon isn't here, let's talk about what's on our mind."
Huron rested his right elbow on the armrest of the chair, leaned forward slightly, and moved.
"The place Abaddon is looking for cannot be said to be difficult to find. There are almost no legends about it. I have only heard a few words, some stories and rumors. Is he so sure that his future enemies may appear from there?"
"The gray eagle has such a meaning, but it cannot represent many of the many forces in the empire."
"The Gray Knights... I have never seen them, but as far as I know, they are not a group of guys to mess with. Abaddon is looking for their lair, so what if he finds it?"
"My Lord will make his own decision on this matter."
"Okay, I can take on this matter, but I can't guarantee that I can find it. I can only say that I will try my best, but..."
Suddenly, Huron's eyes rolled, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Kayon, I heard that you are the sharpest sword in Abaddon's hand and a top killer. Many ruthless characters in the Eye of Terror have fallen into your hands."
Hearing these words, the Thousand Sons Wizard didn't know whether to laugh or be embarrassed.
In the end, he chose to answer expressionlessly.
"It's just a false reputation."
"Then let me make a condition. If you can meet it, I will immediately arrange for manpower to start looking for the place Abaddon is looking for."
Kayon frowned, this was not part of the plan, but he couldn't refuse directly.
"What is it?"
"Kill someone for me."
After hearing this, Kayon breathed a sigh of relief, at least not too much.
However, he still needs to know who the opponent wants to kill. If it is a particularly difficult target, he will refuse. After all, it is Abaddon's sword, not Huron's.
"who."
Suddenly, Huron's eyes burst into incomparable hatred, and that kind of heat in his soul made Khayon feel like a small subspace storm suddenly appeared in front of him.
The Black-Hearted King almost gritted his teeth and spit out the name.
