Chapter 759 Heading to Mars

Open a road to Mars?

This requirement is too broad. Killing all the way to Terra is considered opening a road, and directly opening a subspace rift is also considered opening a road.

Abaddon does not think that Kalbohar is referring to the former. No matter how much he despises the corrupt Empire, he must admit that this is a behemoth that requires all-out efforts.

If there were no aliens dragging the gathering of the Empire's military forces in various parts of the galaxy, the defensive power of the Cadian sector would continue to expand.

Facing the behemoth, the smartest thing to do is to bleed him, make him exhausted and panting, and then let the hunter kill him with one blow.

This is why Abaddon organized twelve black expeditions one after another, and each expedition caused a fierce reaction from the Empire.

The Terra High Lords' Council, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy, and they urgently transferred the troops stationed in various parts of the galaxy.

This is a huge consumption of materials. Every operation of the bloated machine crushed a few gears. These gears accumulated little by little and then became a fatal flaw that prevented the Empire from continuing to operate.

All the Black Legion had to do was to seize these flaws, show the cruelty and cunning of the hunters, and pull out the barbs that had pierced the body of the imperial beast, causing it to break its bones and bleed and wail.

Another purpose of the Black Crusade was to please the gods. Although Abaddon did not like these dark evil gods who made his father Horus a madman, the great power they possessed was what Abaddon urgently needed.

Every expedition satisfied the four gods. The ambition to destroy and rebuild the empire pleased Tzeentch, the war of the expedition pleased Khorne, the large number of slaves and sadism made Slaanesh gasp, and those who suffered from famine and illness in the war also attracted the mercy of Nurgle.

The satisfaction of the gods turned into a gift, filling the bodies of the Black Legion warriors and repairing their ancient weapons that had experienced thousands of years of wind and frost.

In the first Black Crusade, Abaddon killed Sigismund, the marshal of the Black Templar, and found the magic sword Draconian that could kill the Emperor in the cellar of the Tower of Silence in Ullanor.

During the Gothic War, Abaddon's expedition paralyzed an entire sector, and the planet killer and two activated Blackstone Fortresses severely damaged the Imperial Navy.

If it weren't for those damn Eldar, the Gothic sector would have become the main position of the Black Legion against the Empire in the real universe.

Now is the eve of the 13th Black Crusade, and it is also the last expedition of Abaddon to bury the Empire in the grave.

Thinking of this, Abaddon was a little excited and proud. Only he knew how much effort he had put into the 13th Black Crusade.

The attack on the Blackstone Spire in the Cadian sector made the anti-warp stance of blocking the Eye of Terror even weaker.

And those idiots in the Empire don't even know this. They only think that Blackstone is just a building material of the aliens!

Now there is only one anti-warp stance node left to suppress the Eye of Terror, that is, the Cadian Fortress World. The official sign of the opening of the 13th Black Crusade is the crushing of Cadia.

Over the past few decades, Abaddon has dragged a large number of wrecked ships to the Cadian sector, using these dangerous space debris to distract the Cadian defenders.

Not only that, even the leadership of the Cadian Fortress World has believers who are devoted to Abaddon and the power of destruction. As long as Abaddon gives an order, they will serve the Black Crusade wholeheartedly.

If Cadia is destroyed, the Eye of Terror will flow out unimpeded, creating a scarlet road in the real universe that leads directly to Terra. By then, Abaddon can indeed meet Kalbohar's request: open a road to Mars.

After thinking for a long time, Abaddon gave Kalbohar a clear answer, "The Black Legion can open a road to Mars for you."

Kalbohar nodded, and then ordered the slaves to work, "That's great, then I will let these degraded bodies enter the cargo hold first."

"But I will never accept these dirty and blasphemous garbage."

This sentence did not conceal or modify anything, the words and sentences used were so simple and crude, and the voice of the narrator was also full of disgust.

"Are you kidding me? Doing this will only make you lose the friendship of the Dark Mechanicus." Kalbohar's tone was cold, his mechanical body suddenly rose several meters, and the weapons under the rags hummed. As long as he wanted, he could bring Abaddon an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

Holding the magic sword, with the power of the four gods and the blessing of many chaos artifacts, Abaddon had no confidence to win against Kalbohar.

Abaddon knew that these mechanical guys had a lot of good stuff hidden. They must have collected a lot of the hateful intelligence that caused the Moon Wolves to suffer heavy losses.

The Titans sounded a warning whistle, and the pale degraded bodies lying on the assembly line also showed strong hostility.

But Abaddon did not retreat under Kalbohar's coercion. He continued to speak in a steady voice.

"I will not accept these creatures to join my legion, but I will not refuse these creatures to join the 13th Black Crusade."

"Oh?" Kalbohar tilted his head slightly, "Do you treat them as auxiliary troops that can be sacrificed at will?"

"Aren't these degraded bodies just cannon fodder that can be sacrificed at will?"

Hearing that Abaddon had lowered the combat status of the degraded bodies by another level, Kalbohar was not angry, but laughed mechanically in agreement.

The two of them smiled in tacit agreement and stopped in tacit agreement. Kalbohar said, "Great Astartesism is one of the bonds that connect the Black Legion. These degraded bodies will violently impact the bond of your brotherhood."

"They will cause doubts in the united legion. How we once viewed the false emperor is how they will view these degraded bodies now."

"Then the Dark Mechanicus Church will form an independent legion and you will be in charge of commanding it. As for the name of the propaganda, how about the Pale Auxiliary Army?"

"Are you reminiscing about the Terra Auxiliary Army?"

"That's your idea." Kalbohar waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to talk more about this boring topic. He was very interested in how Abaddon opened the road to Mars.

"As long as Cadia is destroyed, our road to Terra will be unobstructed." Abaddon said confidently, but Kalbohar was not satisfied.

"We have to conquer Cadia first? It's a waste of time. Why don't we open a rift to Mars directly?"
