Chapter 466: Ahriman: I am just a low-level worker after all

~9 min read 1,718 words

The Conqueror?

Listening to Kharn's roar, everyone present was stunned.

This name was extremely unfamiliar to most of the people present, after all, this flagship of the World Eaters Legion had disappeared in the galaxy for ten thousand years.

So much so that when most people heard the two names Lotara Sarrin and the Conqueror, they only had faces full of confusion and bewilderment.

Only Zhou Yun, Ahriman, and that taciturn Raven Guard had some reactions to these two names.

Did Erebus enslave the Conqueror?

Zhou Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. This was indeed a way. The Conqueror, which was constantly moving in the galaxy and the Warp without a fixed position, and whose interior was chaotic due to corruption, could indeed prevent the Anywhere Door and the Finder Cane to a certain extent.

But what really made Zhou Yun care was that Erebus actually succeeded.

The Conqueror... hmm, in the hands of that so-called Oathbreaker Kossolax, this little World Eater Chaos Lord certainly couldn't stop Erebus.

But the problem was that the Conqueror was not ownerless as it appeared.

"Lotara Sarrin, I remember this name." Ahriman glanced at Kharn: "That was the captain of the Conqueror—a mortal, a woman actually able to become the captain of the Conqueror, the third-in-command of the World Eaters, this surprised me very much back then—is she still alive?"

"Could it be that she fused with the warship? Became an existence similar to a machine spirit?" Ahriman raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

As a master of the Warp domain, Ahriman easily guessed Lotara Sarrin's current situation.

"She is still on the Conqueror. She has been performing her duties. I can feel it."

Kharn really opened his mouth like a bloodthirsty wild dog, revealing savage bloody teeth, and anger permeated his body:

"But you were wrong about one point. Sarrin is not the third-in-command of the World Eaters. In a sense, she is the first-in-command of the World Eaters."

"Angron and I were almost crazy during the Siege of Terra. It was Sarrin who was responsible for contacting Horus, responsible for maintaining the operation of the World Eaters Legion and the Conqueror. Angron and I both respected and loved her."

"Erebus, this beast actually dared to..."

Morbid blood energy surged like a tide on Kharn's body, but his tone was extremely calm, calm like a wild beast lurking in the sea of blood, waiting to bite its prey to death.

Zhou Yun's gaze moved slightly.

Lotara Sarrin, captain of the World Eaters flagship Conqueror, one of the few who could talk to Angron, and even "command" Angron to a certain extent.

The entire World Eaters Legion had a certain degree of respect for her, and she had always maintained loyalty to this broken, twisted, and crazy legion, and also maintained loyalty and friendship to Angron and Kharn.

Although it was a bit funny, Angron and Kharn were like two crazy hunting dogs, and Lotara Sarrin was the only one who could use friendship and loyalty as a chain to tie the sanity of the two.

At the end of the Siege of Terra ten thousand years ago, Captain Lotara Sarrin had already fused with the highly corrupted Conqueror, becoming the Conqueror itself, becoming an existence similar to the machine spirit of this blasphemous flagship.

It was precisely because of her that Zhou Yun felt it was strange that Erebus could enslave the Conqueror.

Because even ten thousand years later, Lotara Sarrin still had some kind of connection with Angron. She could even summon Angron, call Angron, and let Angron descend on the Conqueror.

Erebus could not win against Angron no matter what his hard power was. The only possibility was that the Blood God helped Erebus.

No wonder Kharn was so angry...

"My lord." Kharn's tone carried a sense of prayer, lowering his head toward Zhou Yun: "I implore you..."

"Let me replace this clumsy guy and say it."

Raum, the demon possessing Kharn, crawled out and saluted Zhou Yun with a round hand:

"My lord, Kharn implores you to save the Conqueror and Lotara Sarrin. He can only pray to you now."

"I can persuade Sarrin, my lord." Kharn said in a low and hoarse voice: "I can make the Conqueror loyal to you. You will gain a Gloriana-class as a flagship——————"

The Lightbringer itself let out a slight tremor, seemingly a bit dissatisfied with Kharn's words.

Stay away from the boiler when walking at night—the Lightbringer's petulant words suddenly rang in everyone's minds.

Kharn's expression twitched slightly.

The machine spirit of the Lightbringer had always been very active and friendly. Sometimes when Kharn was tortured by the Butcher's Nails, it would take the initiative to reduce the noise of mechanical operation, so as not to further aggravate Kharn's pain.

But Kharn's words just now obviously offended it.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but laugh out loud upon seeing this. The weirdos on his ship were really too funny.

"I will help you. We were already hunting Erebus, weren't we?"

"Well, you organize the situation of the Conqueror as soon as possible, and draw the internal structure of the Conqueror according to your memory."

"Although it has suffered ten thousand years of corruption, the situation inside the Conqueror may be completely different from the past, but it can always be used as a reference."

Kharn nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Professor A, the task of locating the Conqueror is up to you, but I won't hire you to participate in the specific actions." Zhou Yun looked at Ahriman and said.

Although according to Ahriman, Tzeentch was currently busy digesting new domains and recovering lost domains, and did not have much energy to pay attention to the material universe, and Ahriman had unique techniques to cover his own destiny to avoid being monitored by Tzeentch.

But Zhou Yun couldn't trust him at all. Ahriman was Tzeentch's Champion, and Tzeentch's Champion meant the unlucky guy who was cheated the most by Tzeentch.

Zhou Yun believed in Ahriman's techniques and abilities, but he didn't believe in Ahriman's anti-fraud awareness.

Ahriman obviously realized the reason for Zhou Yun's decision, sighed slightly, and felt a little sad about losing a job.

Sure enough, he was just a low-level worker, at most having the same status as many Terran-borns in the legions during the Great Crusade.

It was a pity that Ahriman had no way to resign from Tzeentch, and Tzeentch would not be as generous as the Blood God letting Kharn go.

Zhou Yun also asked Kaelen, the former First Company Captain of the Blood Angels who was now in charge of the Terminators, to prepare for boarding the Conqueror. If the Anywhere Door could not directly enter the Conqueror, then the old method of boarding would have to be used.

As for the remaining specific strategies, they were handed over to Kharn, Seth, and that taciturn Raven Guard to discuss and deliberate.

After the meeting, Kharn couldn't help but reach out and rub his temples.

The fact that Erebus enslaved the Conqueror made him unable to control the anger continuously surging in his brain.

The anger itself intertwined with the pain brought by the Butcher's Nails, making Kharn exceptionally headache-prone.

But he still had work to do. According to Zhou Yun's instructions, he had to organize the situation inside the Conqueror.

After completing it, he had to discuss specific action plans in a small war council.

He was just a World Eater; why let a World Eater be responsible for this kind of brain-using work?

"Saul, you come and help me organize the situation inside the Conqueror together."

Kharn decided to grab someone to help. Saul was a good choice. His personality was more stable and calm than Kharn's, and his logic was clear and orderly when writing documents, which was very suitable for this kind of work.

"If there is time, I can guide you again."

Kharn used the little bit of pie-drawing skills left in his brain and said to Saul.

Saul was attracted by the guidance in Kharn's mouth and began to organize the situation inside the Conqueror with Kharn.

Facts proved that Kharn's eyes were indeed correct. With Saul's help, he quickly completed the work.

He even had the opportunity to teach this Primaris warrior wearing purple power armor before the small war meeting started.

"Your swordsmanship is exquisite, quite in the style of the Imperial Fists of the past."

"Imperial Fists, Lord Kharn." Saul replied while wielding the long sword in his hand.

"... But you rely too much on swordsmanship, Saul." Kharn swung a punch lightly, accurately hitting Saul's face.

"I know a company captain of the Luna Wolves named Loken. He once said a sentence: Know your enemy, and win by any necessary means."

"Don't just rely on your sword. You yourself are a powerful weapon, a weapon forged by the skills of the Hua Hua Hua Di Huang and Belisarius Cawl. Don't waste them."

Saul nodded humbly, bowed his head to admit defeat, and then pulled away from Kharn, preparing to try again.

He could now persist for a short time under Kharn's not-so-serious attack.

But before the two could start another round, a slightly noisy sound rang from their ears.

"The Lightbringer has been invaded. Any available Primaris warriors, please support cabin 8-13 immediately."

"Invasion?" This didn't surprise Kharn and Saul.

Whenever the Lightbringer entered the material universe, some warbands, pirates, or cultists who were courting death would try to harass the Lightbringer.

Eight or nine out of ten of these people accepted Erebus's or Tzeentch's orders, but were deceived by Erebus and Tzeentch, knew nothing about the situation on the Lightbringer, and rashly challenged enemies they couldn't deal with.

The fate of these unlucky guys wasn't too miserable, because Kharn, Saint Doraemon, Ahriman who was occasionally on the ship, and that Raven Guard wouldn't take action at all, but left these guys to the Primaris who lacked combat experience to train themselves.

"You go. Just digest what you learned today in battle." Kharn nodded to Saul and said.

Saul nodded politely, saluted Kharn with an Aquila, and asked the communication: "Who is the enemy? Warband? Pirates? Cultists?"

"It's a warband."

"It's an Hua Hua Hua Di Huang's Children warband."
