Chapter 936 Scarlet Road

The arm is gone, I can find a war blacksmith to install a mechanical one, and the recovery can be considered slowly.

"But why do you look so panicked? What are you hiding, wizard?" Abaddon narrowed his eyes and ordered the wizard to remove the spell on his arm. He wanted to use his own eyes to see what was wrong with his wound.

The wizard hesitated for a moment and chose to obey Abaddon's order. He removed the spell, and the wound was no longer blocked by the psychic light.

The wound that should have been radiant with flesh and blood was now pale and frightening, and the tough skin and muscles also revealed a soulless stiffness. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is surprisingly similar to the shell of the degraded body.

"This. This!!!"

Abaddon was so shocked that he couldn't say anything at this time, and under his gaze, it was obvious that the paleness was still spreading. It wouldn't be long before Abaddon's whole body would be assimilated into this state.

"What did he do?" A Black Legion Terminator was worried about Abaddon's condition. Everyone could see the weakness of Warmaster Abaddon. If this news were leaked, the Chaos Legion, which had barely united, would immediately fall into a civil war for the position of Warmaster.

Typhons, the leader of the Plague Fleet, was an ambitious man. He and his troops had been in the limelight under the increasingly vigorous wind of Nurgle in recent times. They had become difficult to kill under the blessing of Nurgle, and now they had extremely powerful regeneration and infection abilities.

Typhons became more and more proud, and Abaddon's orders went in one ear and out the other. If it weren't for Abaddon's support of the Spirit of Vengeance, the Planet Killer, and the Blackstone Fortress, this guy would have taken Abaddon's position long ago!

Abaddon also realized this problem, and a strong sense of unwillingness rose in his heart. The victory of the 13th Black Crusade was already a foregone conclusion. The Imperial Fleet had been trapped by them, and its demise was only a matter of time. The Chaos Fleet, which was freed up, could also attack Cadia with all its strength and pour countless shells on it.

But at this moment, the Empire broke Abaddon's plan with this inexplicable thing. Just like the Imperial warship that inexplicably touched the edge of the Black Stone Fortress during the 12th Black Expedition, how could Abaddon accept such an unreasonable failure?

Abaddon devoted all his efforts to this expedition, and even wrote several warehouses of battle plans after the opening of the Scarlet Road. If it fails, when will the next opportunity come? A thousand years? Ten thousand years? What if the Empire also studied the nature of the Black Stone under the influence of Abaddon's invasion? At that time, victory will become even more slim.

Abaddon was very anxious, and he was very angry about his inability to do anything about the upcoming bad situation. He aimed his angry eyes at Lin Fan, and couldn't help but want to curse him when he saw him holding the magic sword and thinking.

At this moment, a huge blood ball composed of the corpses of the Black Legion soldiers suddenly appeared in the space. The blood ball disintegrated beside Abaddon, and blood and ugly corpses burst out. In the chaos, an extremely embarrassed wizard rushed out.

Abaddon saw that this was a wizard under the command of Harken, the World Reaper, and the corpses around him must be the result of the wizard sacrificing his comrades to the teleportation spell.

Rather than asking the wizard about his betrayal of his comrades, Abaddon was more inclined to ask what emergency had occurred that made the wizard choose to use this spell to escape here.

The wizard endured the rebuke and wailing of his comrades' souls in his ears, and he reported the death of Harken, the World Reaper, to Abaddon with difficulty.

Abaddon's expression suddenly changed, "Haken was killed by the Primarch? Do Dorn and Perturabo really stand on the land of Cadia?"

"Warmaster. Lord Harken was killed by a group of elite mortal troops equipped with explosive weapons and portable plasma shields and a large group of unfamiliar power armor. He was crushed into pieces by the gravity released by more than a hundred gravity guns. I was also seriously injured and luckily saved my life."

"How is this possible."

"Warmaster, the most important thing is that the Imperial lackeys may have discovered the nature of the Black Stone. They used the Black Stone to dispel the polarity of the Warp and cracked my defensive spell."

Abaddon couldn't hear anything at this time. The biggest reliance he had on launching this expedition was the knowledge about the Black Stone.

The Empire would not use the Black Stone, and thus the Black Stone Fortress. They could only use the huge structure and hardness of the Black Stone Fortress to transform it into deep space ports for the Imperial Navy to resupply. However, Abaddon could activate the weapon system of the Black Stone Fortress, allowing the light engraved in the myth to be released again in the current universe. This knowledge asymmetry gave Abaddon an advantage in the 12th Black Crusade, and he also believed that the current 13th Black Crusade would be the same.

Using the two polarities of the Black Stone on the expansion and closure of the subspace, Abaddon's psykers developed a device such as the Black Stone Crown. Its appearance is undoubtedly a great innovation. From then on, the Black Legion no longer had to waste a lot of time and energy on large-scale sacrificial ceremonies, but could easily tear open the subspace rift in reality by directly charging the Black Stone Crown.

The same principle applies to activating the Scarlet Road. By collecting and transforming enough Black Stone, Cadia is eventually transformed into a planet-level Black Stone Crown, and then activated with countless souls accumulated during the siege of the planet, leading the subspace energy deep in the Eye of Terror straight toward Terra. In order to realize this plan, Abaddon not only sent a large number of ground troops to besiege Cadia, but also ordered them to organize efficiency-first mining sites on the spot.

Now Haken's wizards tell Abaddon that the Empire has cracked the secret of Black Stone and weaponized it, which makes Abaddon's dream of building the Scarlet Road dissipate like a bubble. He can use Black Stone to open the subspace rift, so the Empire can also use Black Stone to close the subspace rift. And the default nature of Black Stone is to close the subspace, which will make it easier for the Empire to control the subspace.

The Thirteenth Crusade will fail in the civil strife, and the Chaos Legions that cannot unite will be defeated one by one. Then the Empire will use the Black Stone to completely block the Eye of Terror. From then on, they can only fight like barbarians in the Eye of Terror, a desperate place, until all of them are reduced to ashes.

Such a future terrifies Abaddon. He cannot accept it. He cannot accept it. He cannot accept it.

"Don't forget, you still have a choice. I only want a soul."
