Soshyan's criticism did not change Kayon's expression. He just squeezed out a smile and responded indifferently:
"How righteous and awe-inspiring. Yes, at first we fought back, but more often than not we chose to escape... These days are not proud, but we have not suffered any complete defeat. Sometimes we even benefit from some revenge-seeking or
Fleeing from jealous relatives, some of them choose to look for us and want to join us in fighting... Our legion continues to grow in the endless night. At the beginning, we recruited only outcasts and wanderers.
The honorless, the outcasts, they come to us just to start over. Some are trying to wash away their past and find a place under a new banner; some are lost after experiencing countless strife and battles in the Eye of Terror.
All the bonds that wanted to re-experience brotherhood with us; some that wanted to deceive us - they were all purged and fed to the monsters dormant in the dark depths of the Vengeful Spirit."
"Every legion has one?"
"Yes, every legion... Soon, we recruited more than just lone warriors or squads. Warbands or warships began to join us. Abaddon again and again divided us into several troops to act separately.
, spreading the news of his return throughout the Eye of Terror, informing the besieged legionaries, granting amnesty and alliances to those willing to join us... Most of the newly sworn companions come from Broken Horu
Sons of Si, the primary reason for their surrender is to survive. A dying legion is facing complete extinction, and three symbols of past glory and power suddenly appear in front of it. The legion war is still going on, and here is Ezekel
Abaddon, Falkus Kebo, and even the Vengeful Spirit, in a country surrounded by powerful enemies, such an echo from a bright past is their best chance of survival."
"So, the main force of the Black Legion is still the Sons of Horus in the past?"
"At first, exiles and idealists from various legions joined us. In front of the Vengeful Spirit, no one could compete with it... Scattered wandering warriors and exiles swore allegiance just to survive.
As for existence, none of these satisfy Ezekiel. He wants to go one step further. He wants a legion! Unlike the legion specifications during the Great Crusade, his vision is more lofty, and all action principles are based on the rebirth of the legion.
He wanted to create the first and only long-term fighting legion."
"Then...how many of you are there now?"
"The specific number is difficult to estimate. The number of troops directly under Abaddon alone exceeds 200,000, excluding countless allied and attached warbands."
Even from a small distance, Kayon could hear Soshyan's gasp.
"Why...so many?"
"Because the Eye of Terror is a dark forest, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Just like the tribal conquests in ancient times, we give the enemy a choice: join us, or be destroyed! Those who swear allegiance to Abaddon can join us.
Fleets or garrisoned in fortresses, some humble warlords were even allowed to join the inner circle of Ezekel... A few chose to be exterminated, and we will never break our promise to slaughter all these disobedients! All these results have been achieved
Feiran, Ezekiel Abaddon, First Company Commander of the Sixteenth Legion, once a hero of the Empire, has now become a hero of the Sons of Horus. An unprecedented number of warriors have given up their previous Legion livery and accepted our
The colorless paint of the nameless war gang is once again gathered under one big banner... The first is to survive, and we are sure that there will be more goals in the future. Among them, the most convincing and most driving one is
It’s revenge, revenge regardless of the cost.”
"Has the empire never interfered with you in the past? Just let you expand like this?"
"The Eye of Terror is not a public toilet. You can come and leave whenever you want... But the Empire once launched a huge challenge to us, and that challenger almost killed Abaddon."
"who?"
"The former captain of the Imperial Fists, later became the first grand marshal of the Black Templars, the Black Knight, the Swordbinder, Sigismund... He is very powerful, the strongest I have ever seen in my life.
A great warrior, it is a pity that he has not withstood the invasion of time, otherwise what you see now may still be Thousand Sons Kayon."
After saying that, the cell fell into silence.
About two minutes later, Soshyan spoke again:
"What is the Thirteenth Black...Expedition you are talking about?"
Kayon let out a cold laugh and raised his head slightly, as if he wanted to let the other party see his face clearly and the proud expression on his face.
"You know nothing about everything that happened in the Eye of Terror. The Black Legion has already suppressed the nine legions with absolute superiority and ended the legion civil war. Even the Primarchs have succumbed to Abaddon one after another. Some of them are
Voluntarily, some were forced to do so, and one was forced to kneel before Abaddon... But in the end everyone surrendered: Lorgar, Perturabo, Fulgrim, Angron
, my father Magnus...even Mortarion, though his plague came closer to killing us than the others."
Hearing these terrible names, Soshyan couldn't help but feel terrified. If what Khayon said was true, Abaddon had subdued or even controlled all the fallen primarchs, then his power would be too terrifying——
On the Empire's side, the only known Primarch so far is Robert Guilliman, who is sleeping in Macragge.
"anything else."
"And... did you know that the Emperor's light is disappearing in the galaxy? In recent decades, how many fleets have been lost in the flickering light of the star torch? Thousands? Tens of thousands? How many more?
The world burst into roars of defiance, or screamed in the echoes of astral language? How many worlds disappeared silently behind the curtain of the warp, only to return empty with only the traces of demons ravaging and trampling them? But here, do you know that there is peace?
Is there a big event happening in the star field? A quarter of the galaxy has been silenced, do you know the whole story? Do you know who the countless imperial warbands are fighting against in the shadow of silence?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, Soshyan knows about the current situation of the empire, but it is not comprehensive. After all, the Milky Way is too big, and the transmission of news is very difficult.
After thinking for a while, Soshyan frowned.
"But why? Why would you tell your enemy everything you know and say?"
"Ah, this question is reasonable. This question is actually not important to you, but I can provide you with a reason... Now is the final moment. In the face of the crushing Scarlet Road, you will be doomed.
No one can survive. The empire has been slowly declining since the beginning of this long war, and now is the final stage. I will reveal all this because for the empire, everything is irreversible.
"
"I can notify Terra in advance so that they can prepare early."
"Oh? Do you think they will believe it? Or will you gather millions of troops just because of a vague warning? And when Abaddon will launch an attack, even I don't know."
Soshyan looked at Kayan's unruly face and dull eyes, and suddenly chuckled.
Then there was laughter, and finally there was laughter.
"Oh? Is there anything that deserves you to be so happy?"
"Iskandar Kayan, I admit that your words gave me a huge sense of threat, and I also believe that what you said is the truth."
"Then why are you laughing?"
"Because this is a huge threat to the empire, and it is also an opportunity for us to prove ourselves. It will make our power more legitimate!"
"oh?"
"Listen carefully, Kayon."
Soshiyang stared at the other person closely, staring into the other person's eyes.
"I, Soshyan Alexey, will definitely crush Abaddon's dream of thousands of years! I will be a wall that you can never overcome!"
