Chapter 118

~7 min read 1,368 words

Canon thought about a lot, and even suspected anyone.

But, he alone did not suspect that Galken, who was born on a remote planet with him, experienced countless bloody battles together, and was awarded countless honors by the Empire... would actually be the mastermind behind all this!

"How could this happen, my brother... Galken"

Canon was heartbroken. He fell on the red carpet in front of the Emperor's holy image, eyes wide open, using all his strength, issuing a tragic, desolate roar: "Why... would it be you, Galken Hadley!!!"

He didn't understand.

Why, that former Imperial Guard hero, the child who walked out of a remote star sector, a desolate middle hive, experienced the brutal bloody battle of the galaxy, and was awarded the Planetary Governor by the Empire, would become what he is today!

"Why?"

Hearing this, Galken couldn't help laughing: "Do you think I was afraid of death, so I walked to this step?"

"Isn't it?!"

Canon glared at him, although his life was passing away rapidly, he was still like an angry lion, wishing he could tear apart the enemy of the Empire in front of him!

"No, you're wrong, my brother."

However, Galken shook his head, full of sarcasm: "I have never been afraid of death, I just don't want to be deceived."

"Deceived... what did the Empire deceive you about?"

Canon bit his teeth hard, only feeling that the familiar face in front of him had become much stranger: "You are the Planetary Governor, the Empire has never treated you badly, Galken!"

However, as soon as he said this, Galken was furious!

"I dedicated everything to the Empire! But... what did I get? Nothing! Nothing! Except for these broken medals, nothing!" He was completely hysterical, the veins on his forehead jumped, and even the black veins on his neck were clearly visible, which showed how excited his emotions were. He grabbed the medals on his chest and pulled them down hard, throwing them on the ground: "Nothing!"

In the crisp sound of metal landing.

More than a dozen medals awarded by the Empire as heroes were discarded by Galken like shoes.

Among them are the Iron Eagle, Mortal Eagle, Winged Skull, Crimson Ribbon, and Triple Holy Skull.

Undoubtedly, most of them are mortal honors that Imperial Guard officers find difficult to obtain in their lifetime!

It is no exaggeration to say that he is a hero of the Empire!

"What return to the Golden Wang Zuo?! All fake! Deceptive! It's the lies of that group of insects in the Empire!"

Galken's emotions were very excited, as if to prove the correctness of his actions, he roared loudly: "Do you know? My brother... every night, when I close my eyes, those terrifying scenes of Chaos will appear before my eyes, and they torture me all the time!"

"This is... the reason you betrayed the Emperor?"

Canon suddenly stopped being angry, but looked at the hysterical Galken with a pitying look, and even a touch of sarcasm appeared on his lips: "Just for... this?"

"No, you don't understand anything, Canon."

Looking at the old comrade who was once close, but now full of sarcasm, Galken sneered and said: "You have never been influenced by Chaos demons, so you don't know... how terrifying they are. I'm afraid... I dedicated my life to the Empire, dedicated everything to the Emperor, but why... I have to suffer this torture in my later years?!"

Canon was indifferent, looking coldly at Galken, who was completely crazy, with only deep disappointment in his eyes.

"Yes, you have never experienced it, so you don't understand at all... those Chaos illusions, how terrifying they are, and I know clearly... once I die, those will become reality!"

"I dedicated everything to the Empire, to the Emperor!"

"But what did they give me? Except for the Planetary Governor, except for those broken medals, what else is there?!"

"Once, I thought that as long as I didn't fail the Empire, didn't fail the Emperor's entrustment, and governed my planet well, I could return to the Golden Wang Zuo with glory..."

"But, I was wrong, the great Changer told me... I was wrong!"

"There has never been a Golden Wang Zuo!"

"Brother, after we die, we will only return to the Warp, and our souls will be tortured forever!"

"So what if you are a hero? This is an unavoidable fate, I don't want this... it was the great Changer who let me see the truth!"

Speaking of this, Galken's entire face, and even his body, began to undergo terrifying changes, blasphemous symbols were everywhere, and twisted, hateful flesh grew out. It glared at Canon, who was dying, and sneered: "Let me tell you the truth, the so-called Emperor... is just a piece of salted meat playing with witchcraft, long dead! Dead! Dead!"

"What kind of bullshit Golden Wang Zuo!"

"What kind of bullshit God Emperor glory!"

"All fake! Fake! Fake!"

Galken cursed the Empire, cursed the High Lords, cursed the Interior Department, cursed the Military Department, and... the Master of Mankind who sat on the Golden Wang Zuo for ten thousand years but never opened his eyes to see the wailing of humanity!

It hopes to get recognition, to find an "excuse" for its behavior, to show its correctness.

Galken desperately hopes to see even a trace of fear from the face of the former "brother," but it is destined to be disappointed.

Canon was expressionless, staring at the hysterical Galken, with deep sarcasm in his eyes, as if looking at a ridiculous clown: "Too pathetic... is this your faith? The ridiculous Changer, fooling a stupid guy."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Galken roared angrily.

"Hahahaha..."

However, Canon didn't shut up, but the mocking sound became louder and louder, echoing in the dome of the entire holy hall: "Galken, you are just a fool fooled by Tzeentch, too ridiculous, you are a pathetic clown!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Galken was furious when he was poked in the heart.

"Look at your current appearance, look Galken."

Canon covered the wound on his abdomen, with deep sarcasm, disdain, disgust and many other complex emotions in his eyes: "Too ugly, is this what you pursue? No... you are just afraid of death, Galken, no matter what reason you say, you are just afraid of death, you are a coward!"

"Shut up! I told you to shut up!!!"

Shame, anger, resentment... various emotions entwined in his heart, Galken would not accept Canon's accusation, and he would not accept... because of his own cowardice!

"You, are a coward! Galken!"

Canon laughed, full of sarcasm: "The Empire will defeat you, your conspiracy will not succeed, I believe in this point, and you... coward, you will only shrink in the shadow of Chaos forever, fearing the Emperor's wrath!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Under the rage, Galken walked like the wind, directly smashed Canon's fragile heart with one punch, piercing his body, but even so, it still couldn't vent his anger.

It crushed Canon's head, tore his body, and let the flesh and blood splash down like a rainstorm, drenching his twisted, blasphemous body.

The blood, mixed with internal organs, flowed on the red carpet in front of the Emperor's holy image. Canon, who refused to bow to Chaos until his death, died at the hands of the traitor "Galken Hadley" and rested here forever.

"Emperor? Just a piece of salted meat playing with witchcraft!"

Galken, who completely fell into Chaos, looked up at the magnificent Emperor statue and laughed wildly: "I will prove to you... who is correct, Canon!"

Canon's soul wandered in the Warp.

He was very tired and closed his eyes.

"Ah... Your Majesty, I failed your entrustment."

"I couldn't stop the brother's fall, couldn't stop the spread of Chaos, I couldn't hold the territory of the Empire, I... am a loser, but... I held on to my faith."

As the soul dissolved.

Canon seemed to hear the prayer of the Ecclesiarchy priest.

"May the loyal warrior of the Emperor return to the great Golden Wang Zuo. May the great Emperor bless your warrior."

In a trance.

He seemed to see... a cold sun.
