Chapter 401 Abaddon: Marula, it’s all over!
"Sir, judging from... from the ship's positioning data, this is where our legion is stationed..."
After a moment of silence, Adjutant Qianzi spoke tremblingly.
"Is this Savaggar?!"
Abaddon still couldn't believe this fact.
As he looked, the stardust in the distance was empty and silent.
There is no sign of war here.
The Chaos Marauders and Chaos Alliance mentioned in the intelligence were nowhere to be seen, and even the remaining fleet of their own Black Legion was silent.
The space fortress that was once looming and spreading across the sky has disappeared, and not even any light can be seen.
Even the two large gateway airports at the entrance to the base were gone.
Where are the people? Where is my door?!
The Chaos Warmaster was greatly shocked.
When anyone returned home, they would find their house empty. Not only were their things gone, but even the floor tiles, walls, and doors had been stripped away, and all their possessions had been looted.
Who can bear this?
What's more, this is the base carefully built by the Black Legion, and it is the foundation of his grand cause!
"Can someone tell me what happened here?"
Abaddon's lips were trembling, and his rage covered the entire observation area, even stirring up the chaotic evil energy outside.
Everyone was silent.
This matter was beyond everyone's imagination, and no one dared to answer this question.
Abaddon took a deep breath. Perhaps everything before him was just an illusion. The Black Legion's base was temporarily obscured by some sudden spatial phenomenon.
This is something that could happen.
The reality in the Eye of Terror overlaps with the subspace, at the junction of matter and illusion, and mirages occasionally occur.
Some people have even seen the golden sun here and the sacred Terra under the sun.
He consoled himself.
Such a strange phenomenon must be fake.
Abaddon quickly calmed down and thought rationally, which was a quality a ruler should have.
But no matter what, we must find out what happened!
Even though this was the Black Legion's base, he did not rush in because the scene before him was obviously unusual.
This chaotic place is full of threats, including witchcraft storm traps or warp disasters, which are hard to guard against.
Care must be taken.
What's more, the Evil Omen Ark Fleet had previously divided its forces into seven or eight squadrons to surround this place from different directions.
They have not arrived yet.
In this situation, the fleet in his hands cannot be easily put into danger.
If this is indeed a terrible trap set by the Chaos Marauders in some way, a fleet will be needed to provide support and rescue from the outside.
Although Abaddon despised the Chaos Marauder, he never underestimated him tactically. After all, he was also a Primarch.
Especially when the Chaos Alliance has disappeared and he is short of troops.
You must not be controlled by your emotions and act rashly.
After Abaddon arranged the outer fleet, he led the Ark of Evil and more than a dozen Chaos warships slowly towards Stardust.
However, after entering Stardust, the surroundings were still empty and no fortress or dock could be seen.
However, he still found traces of war, saw some broken metal wreckage and the floating corpses of Chaos warriors.
These discoveries made his heart even colder and more depressed.
The metal wreckage and corpses of Chaos warriors belonged to the Black Legion. The attackers even stripped the warriors of their armor and took away their gene-seeds!
A truth that the Chaos Warmaster is unwilling to believe is about to come to light.
That is, the Black Legion’s base was plundered.
The plunderers were so greedy that they not only robbed the space fortresses, docks, foundry bases, etc., but also took away the wreckage of ships and the resources on the warriors!
This means that the Black Legion may lose the wealth accumulated over thousands of years and face the embarrassing situation of bankruptcy.
It was even worse than when he had just retreated to the Eye of Terror after the Siege of Terra.
"Do not……"
Abaddon watched this scene, his dark body trembling with suppressed rage.
He warned himself that he must stay calm so that he could better deal with the situation at hand!
The Chaos Marauders' fleet is small in number, and it is impossible for them to plunder so much wealth from the garrison with just those warships. There must be more beings involved.
The Chaos Warmaster had a glimmer of guesswork in his mind.
Now, he only hoped that something could be left at the Black Legion’s base.
However, wherever the Evil Omen Ark passed, it was empty, as if the entire galaxy had been plundered.
This made his heart bleed.
When the Evil Omen Ark sailed deep into the base.
Abaddon finally saw the shadows of the Space Fortresses. Several Space Fortresses were surrounded by Chaos warships, and the faint flickering flames of battle could be vaguely seen in them.
……
Space Fortress area.
The Tzeentch warband Brotherhood of Vengeance is attacking the space fortress, plundering their own spoils.
This Chaos warband was founded after the Heresy, with Thousand Sons veterans as its core members, and has nearly a thousand Chaos Space Marines and many more Cultists.
He also corrupted an Eldar Crone World to use as his home world.
During the Chaos Alliance, the Chaos Alliance called upon these warbands that worshipped Tzeentch, including the Brotherhood of Vengeance.
It’s just that the Brotherhood of Vengeance was a bit unlucky. On their way here, they encountered a warp storm, which caused them to arrive late.
Fortunately, they still arrived at Savaggar safely, joined the looting of the Black Legion halfway, and obtained the right to plunder several edge fortresses granted by the Great Rebel Chaos Alliance.
Unfortunately, the Brotherhood of Vengeance joined too late.
As they began the looting, the rest of the Chaos allies gradually packed up their loot and fled the crime scene.
As time goes by.
The warriors of the Brotherhood of Vengeance became increasingly anxious, but they found it difficult to give up this wealth, because these fortresses were enough for their gang to fight for hundreds of years!
After experiencing sudden incidents such as the Chaos battleship machine soul riot and the ammunition depot explosion.
They finally conquered the fortresses and shut down the defense system.
On the ground of the space fortress, the Chaos warriors of Tzeentch happily hung giant chains on the fortresses, preparing to drag them away.
"Lord of Change, what is that?!"
Suddenly, a Chaos Warrior cried out in surprise.
Everyone looked up and saw a huge abominable warship in the air. It was almost the same size as a fortress, and the hideous emblem on it was so eye-catching.
The Black Legion has returned!
Not only that, their own nine Chaos warships have also been launched, and there seem to be signs of evacuation.
Upon seeing this, the Chaos Warriors of the Brotherhood of Vengeance immediately dropped what they were doing and quickly ran towards the landing ship area, using jump packs as they ran.
Quickly crossed a distance of more than one kilometer.
It's time to run away!
However, when these Chaos Warriors were halfway there, they saw landing ships whizzing towards the fleet area.
"***, I haven't boarded the boat yet!"
The Chaos Warriors cursed, but could only watch the landing ship go away.
But this is also the normal operation of the Tzeentch faction. They are always on the road of betraying their teammates or being betrayed by their teammates. Chaos and betrayal are their favorite themes.
If these Chaos Warriors boarded the landing ship first, they would make the same choice.
Those Chaos warriors of Tzeentch who were abandoned on the surface of the fortress looked at the abominable monsters approaching at high speed in the distance and looked at each other in despair.
They're finished!
"Perhaps it is safest for us to stay in the fortress..."
Suddenly, a Chaos Librarian wearing a half-torn armor said faintly: "The Chaos Warmaster will not destroy his own wealth. Besides, we may not be without hope of survival."
Yup!
When the Chaos Think Tank said this, the other Chaos Warriors immediately reacted.
They were also able to surrender.
These Tzeentchian Chaos Warriors of the Brotherhood of Vengeance sprang into action, finding corrosive oils to paint their armor black.
Pretend to be a Black Legion soldier fighting against the marauders.
Anyway, the Black Legion is constantly recruiting new members, and no one knows why they join.
……
Inside the Ominous Ark.
"Tzeentch, I ***!!!"
Abaddon looked at the Tzeentch warband that was looting his own fortress, and a surge of anger rushed from the bottom of his heart to his forehead, and his braid stood up high, almost bursting. He knew that these things were related to Tzeentch.
The blatant plundering behavior of the Tzeentch war gang was no less than "a crime in front of one's husband" for the great plunderer.
This caused his restrained mentality to explode and he fell into a high fever.
"Destroy them, smash these troublemakers to pieces!"
Abaddon went completely mad and ordered the Ark of Evil to rush at full speed towards the Chaos fleet of the Tzeentch Warband that was trying to escape, and the terrifying artillery fire was accumulating.
However, before the Evil Omen Ark could chase after it, it was attacked.
Several fierce artillery fires came from a distance, bombarding the shield of the Evil Omen Ark, causing a dazzling burst of flames.
There was even a crude blue missile that luckily broke through several layers of shields and directly attacked the hull, causing that area to be directly destroyed.
But this little damage is of no concern to the Evil Ark.
On the mechanical throne.
"These damn greenskins!"
Abaddon received a report that the greenskins had invaded the side area of the Ark battleship with the help of landing torpedoes and had been quickly destroyed.
He looked in the direction of the attack.
A lone fortress and a blue greenskin flagship could be vaguely seen in the stardust; the greenskins seemed to be plundering the fortress.
And the artillery fire just now was fired by the greenskin flagship.
This is a blatant provocation!
"Master Warmaster, the reconnaissance radar has found more greenskin fleets. They are transporting the property of the base and have reached the edge of the Savaggar system..."
Adjutant Qianzi hurried over to report the emergency.
Those green-skin fleets towed away seven or eight space fortresses and some docks, which are extremely valuable assets for any force.
Is the Evil Omen Ark going to chase the Chaos fleet of the Tzeentch War Gang or the Greenskins?
This is for the Chaos Warmaster to decide.
Abaddon looked at the fleeing Tzeentch Chaos warband fleet, then looked at the report of the Legion's wealth towed away by the greenskin fleet, and immediately made a decision:
"Chase the greenskin fleet at full speed!"
We will settle accounts with those Tzeentch Chaos warbands later. What is more important now is to take back the Black Legion’s property from the greenskin aliens.
Afterwards, the Ark of Evil led the Chaos fleet in pursuit of the Greenskins.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the greenskin flagship abandoned the space fortress and fled to the edge of Savagal.
boom--
The Ark of Evil Omen fired its fully charged main gun fiercely.
But this horrific attack that was enough to destroy any ship inexplicably missed, only scratching the shield of the greenskin flagship and covering the large area of void in front of it.
It just hasn't been pursued for long.
The greenskin flagship and the greenskin fleet rushed into the subspace turbulence that was powerful enough to tear apart any ship, as if they were risking their lives.
That kind of subspace turbulence is a place that most fleets dare not set foot in!
Fortunately, abominable monsters like the Ark of Evil are not afraid of this disaster area at all.
But when the Evil Omen Ark chased in, they could no longer see any green ships, and had no idea where they were carried by the turbulence.
Maybe it was all torn apart.
"Are these green-skinned aliens crazy?!"
Just when Abaddon was furious, he received new information that the Tzeentch war gang saw the Ark of Sinister fleet chasing the greenskins, and returned to tow away those space fortresses.
What’s more troublesome is that it’s too late to stop the supporting fleet coming from the periphery!
He looked at the turbulent space turbulence and resolutely gave up looking for those green-skinned aliens.
Abaddon's anger was almost suppressed to the limit and he had no place to vent it.
He was prepared to use the most brutal means to deal with the Tzeentch warband that dared to return!
After the Ominous Ark came out of the turbulent area.
Abaddon saw the Brotherhood of Avenge fleet dragging the space fortress away.
After the Brothers of Vengeance met up with the Chaos Warmaster to pursue the Greenskins, they boldly returned to tow the Space Fortress they had worked so hard to capture.
As for those members who painted their armor black and pretended to be Black Legion warriors, their teammates took their fake armor and robbed them as enemies.
Fortunately, they were spared and became naked prisoners.
Although the Evil Omen Ark Fleet accelerated its pursuit, it was too late.
They only intercepted half of the Chaos warships of the Brotherhood of Vengeance, and the other half successfully entered the warp space and escaped by dragging the space fortresses.
It's hard to say whether these unfortunate Chaos ships were tricked.
But there is no doubt that the Brotherhood of Vengeance made a huge profit this time, as they got a large space fortress by paying with a few broken ships.
Under the wrath of the Chaos Warmaster, those Chaos warships were smashed to pieces by the abominable beasts, and even the wreckage melted into splashing molten iron.
Even the souls of Tzeentch's Chaos Warriors were captured and sucked into the Chaos Sword, suffering eternal torture.
But these still couldn't calm his anger.
"All plunderers must pay a heavy price!" Abaddon roared in the red heat.
Through the information that came in one after another, he had learned everything that had happened at the Black Legion’s base in Savaggar.
With the exception of the Chaos Raiders' coalition fleet, almost all the Chaos coalition forces participated in this plundering operation.
They deceived themselves and plundered all the wealth accumulated by the Black Legion over ten thousand years.
Hundreds of large fortresses, docks, and foundries, including the resource treasures and Ominous Ark ship embryos contained therein, have all disappeared.
Only a small space fortress is left!
The deception and betrayal of these Chaos fellows made Abaddon even more furious.
He is determined to start a new war in the Eye of Terror, take back what he has lost, and then take revenge on the Chaos Marauders!
However, I don't know when.
Under the command of the greenskin strategist Crowbar, the blue greenskin flagship sneaked back again, taking advantage of the gap when Abaddon was chasing the Brotherhood of Vengeance.
The last small space fortress was also towed away.
This move was simply a decisive blow.
"No more, all gone..."
Abaddon closed his eyes in pain as he watched the green alien flagship drag the small space fortress into the space turbulence.
He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and he slumped back on the throne powerlessly.
How humiliating and ridiculous it is for a dignified Chaos Warmaster and a great plunderer to have his land robbed to the point where not even a single bitter tea seed is left?
And it was snatched in front of people!
Abaddon could imagine how much of a blow his reputation would suffer if this matter got out, and how many Chaos beings would secretly make fun of him?
At this moment, he was a little depressed.
The huge black body sat on the mechanical throne, motionless.
Under the throne.
Adjutant Qianzi seemed to be controlled.
Because just now, he seemed to see a tear inadvertently slip down the ferocious and majestic face of the Chaos Warmaster.
"Perhaps, I know too much..."
Adjutant Qianzi wished he could poke his eyes out and erase all his memories.
But at this moment he didn't dare to do anything, not even to move or make any sound, pretending to be a non-existent wooden man...
-
Galliyum Forge World.
This neutral trade zone in the Eye of Terror is extremely lively, as if there is some kind of celebration, and the atmosphere is comparable to that of the Chinese New Year.
In just a few weeks.
Many Chaos warbands that were previously struggling suddenly became rich. They came here to customize various weapons and equipment, and they were at least 80% new.
The guys who used to go to the battlefield shirtless now even got a full set of equipment and bought specially made high-powered bombs.
at the same time.
More black market transactions are carried out here, and a large amount of wealth is circulated through various means. The items traded even include space fortresses and ships.
Not only that.
Some Chaos warbands with no backing, after being fully supplied and armed, fled directly through the Galyum air hub and left the Eye of Terror.
They were planning to flee to other Chaos territories to make a living, or go to the Maelstrom to seek refuge with the Blackhearted King Huron.
Inside the Mechanical Palace.
The Black Equipment Queen Krashia was looking at a stunning portrait of a Demon Eater on the wall, admiring something.
Then he smiled unconsciously.
That being plundered the Chaos Warmaster Abaddon and got away with it, which led to a large amount of wealth flowing into Galyum, making her a huge profit.
"Where on earth have you been?"
The Black Equipment Queen murmured.
She bought many specific Chaos Resources at low prices as requested, and even secretly paid for many precious resources, but she still didn't get a response from him...
