Chapter 532 It all depends on consciousness

Luft Huron, as the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws, had the sole mission of guarding the Great Whirlpool in the Badab Sector to ensure that the power of Chaos was confined to this area and not leaked out.

At that time, he was still very dedicated, just like all Space Marines with honor and ideals. He killed many people under the glory of the Emperor, was unrivaled in the Chaos Army, and stabilized the local situation.

But the traitors who could never be killed kept popping up in the star regions where the Astral Claws patrolled. Huron could no longer bear it and let his soldiers take over the affairs of the star regions, turning the Astartes warriors from a fighting force into a ruling force.

He was also named "Tyrant of Badab"

The tyrant's dictatorship was also decent at the beginning. Although it was difficult for a powerful Space Marine who had been on the edge of a knife for a long time to talk to you about fairness and justice, at least the iron-fisted rule made the Badab Sector prosperous.

The integrated and trained mortal army made up for the shortcomings of the Space Marines' defense, and also allowed the Astral Claws to focus more on more valuable war goals.

He submitted documents to the High Lord, requesting more troops to assist in the defense of the star zone. However, the Terra government responded to the request of the Guardians of the Great Vortex with silence as usual.

Maybe it was due to political considerations? Worried that the Space Marines gathered together would rebel and become independent?

Or maybe it was due to military considerations? The wars in other places did not allow them to withdraw any troops?

No matter what the High Lord thought, Huron was tired of the Terra government that would not provide them with any help.

He hated that the High Lord of Terra did not consider the situation in the Great Vortex Star Zone at all. In the past, they withdrew the Tomb Guards, and the offensive and defensive situation in the Great Vortex Star Zone was reversed.

The already stretched military force forced the Space Marines to shrink the front line, and the world that had been recovered by decades of war was once again thrown into the arms of the enemy.

This refusal made Huron even more angry. He was like General Sheffield in Call of Duty.

"I lost 30,000 brothers overnight, and they just watched damn near."

If it were Huron, this sentence could be changed to

"I have worked hard for the Empire, and countless brothers have shed blood to stop the invasion of Chaos. Now I can win, and you insects will only hold me back."

Huron's mind was hot and his heart was determined. He directly cut off the tax payment to the Empire, sent troops to block the trade in the star zone, and kept all the resources in the Badab star zone to build the army.

No matter what Huron thought, his behavior was no different from treason and independence.

The vigorous Badab War broke out. This war was not the Empire fighting against Chaos and aliens, but an Imperial civil war.

The two chapters, the Lamenters and the Mantis Warriors, stood on the wrong side in the Badab War, not because they recognized Huron's ideas. But they had been treated kindly by Huron's Star Claws for a long time. In their eyes, Huron was a respectable Astartes warrior who kept his word and treated people politely.

For Foros, the former commander of the Lamenters, was also dissatisfied with the punishment and exclusion of the Terra high-level officials for centuries.

As for the conflict between Huron and the Empire, they just thought it was caused by misunderstanding. They knew nothing about Huron's tax evasion.

To them, this was just another attempt by corrupt Imperial officials to erode the traditional autonomy of the Astartes.

The Weepers carried forward their tradition of kindness and were unwilling to hurt any brother, even if those brothers came with the intention of killing them all.

With sophisticated strategies and relatively large numbers, the Weepers successfully drove away the attacks of the Knights-Errant Chapter again and again.

Finally, they were attacked by the Minotaur Chapter under the Inquisition. After occupying the Weepers' fortress monastery, using the wounded and the Chapter's gene seed bank as bait, and setting an ambush, the Weepers suffered a brutal ambush.

The battleship Daughter of Storms became the spoils of the Minotaur Chapter, and even the power to salvage the equipment and gene seeds of the dead brothers was handed over to the Minotaur Chapter. Only more than 300 injured brothers were left in the entire chapter, and the whereabouts of the Chapter Master Foros were unknown.

During the interrogation of the Space Marines after the war, people found that the Weepers stood on the side of Huron not to resist the Empire. The relationship between the sovereignty of the Empire and the sovereignty of the Astartes was brought to the table, and the two powerful forces engaged in a political contest.

The result was that the Weepers Chapter received a simple forgiveness. They could not be excommunicated as traitors, but they had to carry out a hundred-year atonement expedition.

They had no right to receive any supplies during the atonement expedition. Either the chapter survived the expedition or disappeared during the expedition.

Before the atonement expedition, their attitude of caring for mortals and fighting for civilians also made the sub-companions of the Salamanders Chapter feel deeply moved, and secretly stuffed them with a lot of supplies.

Perhaps the Lamenters were caught in the warp storm again during the Atonement Crusade. When they got out, they arrived in the Ghoul Sector and ran into their old enemy, the Space Sharks.

After listening to Lin Fan's description, Perturabo angrily slammed the table. He cursed the stupidity and incompetence of the mortal bureaucrats and vowed to lead his troops into Terra and paint the trench walls with the blood of the entire High Lord family.

"Are you feeling sad and angry for them?"

"I'm angry because those bastards have so tarnished the sovereignty of the Astartes! The Space Marines should not have to endure such humiliation and injustice!" Perturabo became more and more excited as he shouted. He had already prepared a complete set of plans to clean up Terra. Bureaucratic plan, and prepared to drag Lin Fan to Terra to kill.

Lin Fan watched Perturabo's catharsis indifferently, watching the cooling vents of his armor spit out hot condensed gas.

Perturabo may not feel sorry for the Weeper's suffering; after all, he values ​​strength and tenacity. Even if the Lamenters' saving of mortals would touch Perturabo's heart, their fighting prowess in battle would also send Perturabo's blood pressure soaring.

Now Perturabo was just angry at the Terran Lords for marginalizing and suppressing the Astartes warriors.

During his active days, the only one who could suppress the warriors of the Astartes was the Emperor, leaving mortal governments to tremble under their iron boots.

Lin Fan sighed, this is the situation of the empire.

This country with the Emperor as its core is getting rid of the increasingly decadent chaos of the Emperor and Empress, and lacks a strong core to blend the differences between the various forces.

The Astartes' war is not for profit, nor for brotherhood. They are convenient tools for mankind to exist in the dark universe.

The Empire nominally controls the Astartes, but in reality they have no control over the Astartes.
