Chapter 187: Blood slave Sanguinius

More than a hundred warriors walked into the Angel's Well along the tunnel. They looked exhausted, as if they had just experienced a battle.

A Captain, a Chaplain, and three Blood Priests led them.

Those hundred-plus Astartes warriors lined up in a combat formation. Most of their power armor was damaged, and even the least damaged ones had been corroded by acid, exposing the bare metal color.

However, Zhou Yun still recognized the paint of those power armors. The dark red power armor and the blood pattern inlaid with white skulls were the Crimson Angels Chapter, also one of Sanguinius's descendants.

Zhou Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. Things were getting interesting now.

The Captain leading the Crimson Angels Chapter walked to Dante and slowly raised his hand.

The warriors behind him lowered their heads, all kneeling on one knee. Even the injured ones followed suit, even though it caused them extreme pain.

Subsequently, that Captain also knelt before Dante, lowered his head, and said in a low voice:

"I am Captain Finney," said Finney, Captain of the Crimson Angels, with pain: "We have come from afar to pledge our allegiance to you, to Commander Dante, the Lord of Baal, now the King of Ten Thousand Armies, longing to help you."

Dante stood in place. Wearing a golden mask, he simply looked like a golden statue.

A statue burning with fury, as if about to be angry and roar...

"I did not summon you," Dante's voice was low and powerful, but rougher than ever due to anger.

"What does this mean?" Standing in the sand pit, Yoll beside Zhou Yun asked in surprise.

Commander Dante was actually refusing the support of the Crimson Angels. This was too strange.

Even they, the Blood Knights, who had been listed as a renegade Chapter, were accepted by Dante.

After the Red Grand Council ended, Yoll even privately revealed the secrets of his Chapter to Dante, but Dante still gave Yoll and his Chapter the honor of participating in the battle and sacrificing in the battle...

"... The Crimson Angels are not welcome," Zhou Yun said softly to Yoll.

Yoll was a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting Zhou Yun to answer.

"Five hundred years ago, Chapter Master Dante issued a ban to the Crimson Angels, severing all contact with the Crimson Angels forever."

Zhou Yun glanced at Yoll and continued to say in a low voice, but Dante did not stop Zhou Yun.

"The Blood Angels will never accept the aid of the Crimson Angels, and will never aid the Crimson Angels."

"This matter is only known to Dante and some senior Blood Priests..."

The Sanguinius descendants who heard this were all stunned.

It was such a strict ban, almost equivalent to declaring that the two Chapters were enemies... Clearly, the Blood Angels and the Crimson Angels were both descendants of Sanguinius. Why did the two blood kin reach this point?

Captain Finney's face showed confusion. He seemed not to understand why the blue-armored warrior in the sand pit knew these things.

He had heard some things happening in the Angel's Well on the way here, knowing that there was an Ultramarines warrior in the Angel's Well who brought the Archangel's relic and challenged all Sanguinius's descendants.

But why would an Ultramarines warrior know these things??

"Why?" Blood Knight Chapter Master Yoll asked: "The Crimson Angels... can they almost be called a model Chapter?"

"I am not quite the same as those of us Blood Knights who have been listed as renegades by the High Lords, right?"

What Yoll said was exactly what all Chapter brothers knew.

The Crimson Angels were a model among Sanguinius's descendants. They had resistance to the Red Thirst and Black Rage... It was just that they were always a bit mysterious and rarely communicated with other Chapter brothers.

Crimson Angels Captain Finney raised his head violently and stared fixedly at Yoll in the sand pit.

His eyes carried turmoil, seemingly not daring to believe that Dante had even accepted the Blood Knights.

Yet he was unwilling to accept the Crimson Angels... He bit his teeth tightly.

"The Crimson Angels have passed down a ritual from generation to generation, called the Ritual of Repentance."

Zhou Yun looked at Dante and did not stop him, so he continued to speak...

"No!" Captain Finney cried out in horror, not understanding why such a secret was...

Then Finney noticed two gazes cast over.

One was the gaze of the blue-armored warrior in the sand pit, and the other was Dante's gaze... Dante's gaze was full of anger.

Captain Finney lowered his head.

"Ritual of Repentance... Honestly, I don't know where you got this kind of dark and blasphemous ritual."

Zhou Yun glanced at Captain Finney and continued:

"The Crimson Angels slaughter the population on their home planet every fifty years, drain the blood of those innocent civilians, strip away their flesh, and bury their remains... Subsequently, the Crimson Angels will bathe in the blood of these victims..."

"Then, they will drain a Blood Priest to death and inject his blood into it." As this sentence fell, everyone present trembled.

Blood Priests were special apothecary units of the Blood Angels and their successor Chapters, but unlike other Chapters, Blood Priests were not just doctors and protectors of gene-seed. They were also the controllers of the Sanguinary Chalice and the mentors who guided Chapter brothers to resist the Red Thirst and Black Rage.

Their blood vessels even flowed with the blood of Sanguinius himself, using their own flesh to preserve the gene-father's blood...

Draining a Blood Priest to death and injecting the Blood Priest's blood into the blood pool was equivalent to...

"You dare..." Yoll let out a roar of fury, the chainsword in his hand pointing at Captain Finney: "You dare to blaspheme the blood of Sanguinius!!!"

Captain Finney's body trembled slightly, and for a time, he couldn't speak.

"Then, you will make those bloods that have integrated Sanguinius's blood into liquid food, put them into the armor rationer, and use them to nourish you... One slaughter and the sacrifice of one Blood Priest can satisfy half a century of supply."

Zhou Yun did not pay attention to Yoll's roar, but continued to say.

The field fell into dead silence in an instant. They all seemed to suspect they had heard wrong... Liquid food?

Liquid food integrated with Sanguinius's blood?

Even Yoll, who had fallen deepest into the blood thirst among those present, was a bit confused.

"So can you tell me, who taught you this set of rituals? Don't you think this is very strange?"

In the silence, only Zhou Yun said in a strange tone:

"Are you sure this ritual doesn't have anything to do with the Warp? And when you drink the liquid food integrated with Sanguinius's blood, did you really not feel anything strange?"

The Sanguinius descendants present were all in dead silence. They looked at Captain Finney in confusion and bewilderment, not even knowing how to blame him.

Among these Sanguinius descendants, there were those who would slaughter civilians due to madness, those who viewed mortals as food, and those who, like the Crimson Angels, institutionalized slaughter...

But using Sanguinius's blood to hold some kind of blasphemous dark ritual, and even using liquid food integrated with Sanguinius's blood as food... This was something no Sanguinius descendant dared to imagine.

If Zhou Yun were to say it, the Crimson Angels were also a group of talents. Their blood thirst actually thirsted for the Primarch himself. Is it because Sanguinius's blood is strong? It belongs to treating Sanguinius as a blood slave.

The most outrageous thing was the Ritual of Repentance itself. This ritual clearly had some problems, making it hard for Zhou Yun not to suspect whether some old Warp brother was playing with the Crimson Angels.

"The Chapter Master said... this is a necessary sacrifice."

Finney said with a trembling voice. He could perceive the anger in the eyes of other brothers present:

"We found that as long as we satisfy the blood thirst, we can suppress it... And we can suppress the Black Rage."

"No, satisfying it will only make you fall deeper," Blood Knight Chapter Master Yoll said.

He stared fixedly at Finney, his voice becoming hoarse: "You had better pray with me."

"Pray that the Blood Knights will sacrifice in the following battles."

"Otherwise, as long as one Blood Knight is still alive, they will hunt down the Crimson Angels..."

Yoll previously felt that Dante and the Crimson Angels severing ties was a bit extreme.

Now he felt that Dante was actually too merciful. He should have directly wiped out the Crimson Angels.

However, Yoll was also a bit confused, confused about why Dante didn't do so.

"This matter actually doesn't blame Dante."

Zhou Yun shook his head and said:

"This matter is actually mainly because of the Crimson Angels' Chapter Master, Chaude. After the senior Blood Priest Herion discovered this, that Chapter Master..."

"That Chapter Master Chaude stated: If the Blood Angels take measures against the Crimson Angels, then the Crimson Angels will reveal the curse in Sanguinius's blood to the world, and poke the matter of blood thirst and Black Rage to the Inquisition."

"At that time, not only the Crimson Angels, but the Blood Angels and all blood Chapters will be scrutinized. The name of the once perfect angel will become a synonym for terror."

"Yes, his meaning is that if Dante dares to manage the Crimson Angels, the Crimson Angels will drag everyone to explode together."

The Angel's Well was in dead silence. All the Astartes of the blood Chapters listened to these words in a daze.

Finney lowered his head without refuting, and Dante stood in place without refuting.

This meant that everything the blue-armored warrior said was true.

"Crimson Angels? Chaude? I f*** your eight generations of Chapter Masters!"

Divine Angels Chapter Master Goron let out a roar, picked up the power axe at his waist and was about to slash at Finney.

Crimson Blades Chapter Master Kaen hurriedly stopped him: "Goron, my friend! Calm down! Calm down!"

"What's the point of you slashing one of his Captains! Calm down!" Kaen stopped Goron and said: "After the Battle of Baal ends, I will personally take the Crimson Blades and go with you to Corinal, go directly to their Chapter home planet to settle the account!"

Finney's body trembled slightly. He knew that the Crimson Angels were now directly causing the anger of all blood Chapters.

He disobeyed the Chapter Master's order to leave the home planet, traveled through hardships to reach Baal... He must, must...

Finney thought about how to make the Crimson Angels be accepted by Dante again.

Then Finney's gaze fell on Zhou Yun in the sand pit.
