Abaddon's sword, which was flashing with cold light, was now pressed tightly against the messenger's throat, as if he could easily cut the other's throat with just a little force.

Even though the messenger was a lackey of the evil god Tzeentch, Abaddon showed no fear at all. His eyes, burning with anger, stared at the person in front of him.

"I'll ask you one last time, you actually let me face twenty-two Primarchs and two Emperors? Do you really think this is just a child's joke!" Abaddon roared angrily, the demon sword in his hand trembling slightly with anger.

However, faced with such a fierce threat, the old man in the blue robe appeared unusually calm.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange smile, and he slowly said: "My Lord has always been keen on changes, and such a huge change this time will surely excite my Lord for a long time."

After saying this, he ignored the demon sword that was within reach and continued to stare at Abaddon with a smile on his face.

"With your great reputation, Warmaster, you were able to successfully capture the impregnable Cadia. So it would be easy for you to devour the entire empire, right?"

The old man continued to speak slowly, seemingly unaware that he was in extreme danger.

Hearing this, Abaddon's face became even gloomier. He snorted coldly, loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and at the same time retracted the blade that was against the messenger's throat.

But his gaze was still icy cold, directed straight at the old man opposite.

"Hmph, no matter how strong I am, it is far from enough to implement the 'Scarlet Road' plan with our current strength." Abaddon gritted his teeth and said, "I need more troops to support me, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

"You need not worry about that, Master Warmaster."

The old man quickly responded, "The Empire's fleet cannot cross that huge rift, so they do not pose much of a threat to us. As for the reinforcements you need... as long as the time is right, my Lord will send a powerful demon army to assist you in accomplishing your great cause."

"Yes..." Abaddon nodded slightly in agreement, then answered slowly.

His deep and majestic voice seemed to be able to penetrate the endless void: "Let the galaxy burn! Let the stars fall!"

These words were like a curse, distorting and echoing in the surrounding space, making people shudder.

Abaddon's eyes became more and more fanatical, and he continued to shout loudly: "We must fulfill the ultimate ideal of the Father of Genes and plunge the entire vast empire into endless darkness. Let the chaotic darkness completely devour the last ray of the Star Torch that symbolizes light!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Abaddon suddenly put the demon sword in his hand, which exuded an evil aura, into the scabbard.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal friction, he immediately raised his head and looked coldly at the messenger of the evil god Tzeentch standing in front of him.

At this moment, Abaddon was like a demon rising from the depths of hell, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

He stared at the messenger and said in an unquestionable tone: "I need troops, more and stronger troops! Only enough troops can help me achieve this grand goal."

Hearing this, the messenger quickly bent down respectfully, bowed deeply to Abaddon, and responded: "As you wish, great warmaster."

Then, the figure of the messenger gradually became blurred, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and quickly disappeared into the boundless darkness, without a trace.

"Send Huron! Bring more warbands!"

Ultramar Sector

Iacus

Iax is an important planet in the Ultramar sector, known as the "Garden of Ultramar".

It is an agricultural world with a favorable climate and fertile soil, making it one of the richest planets in the Empire.

There are almost no large cities on Iax, and most of the land is used for agricultural production.

The climate of this planet is warm and pleasant, as if it is spring all year round. The breeze brings the fragrance of flowers and soil. The land is amazingly fertile, and the black soil seems to be a treasure that contains endless vitality. You only need to gently sow the seeds of hope, and you will reap rich fruits.

It is precisely because of such unique natural conditions that this planet has become one of the richest in the entire empire.

On the planet Iax, there are almost no large cities lined up one after another, and most of the land has been developed into endless farmland.

Golden wheat waves roll in the wind, green vegetable plots are neatly arranged, and colorful orchards are full of fruits...

This vibrant scene forms a beautiful pastoral picture.

Iax is famous for its astonishingly high-yield agriculture. The food produced here every year not only meets the needs of the planet's residents, but is also continuously transported to the Ultramar sector and even every corner of the entire empire, becoming an important cornerstone for maintaining the prosperity and stability of the empire.

On the planet Iax, the area with the longest history and the highest degree of urbanization is the famous First Landing City.

This ancient fortress city looms on the horizon like a sleeping beast, its walls towering into the clouds and impregnable.

After years of baptism and countless fierce battles, those towering castles are still as solid as a rock, successfully resisting the fierce attacks of wave after wave of invaders.

However, at this moment, the originally peaceful, tranquil and picturesque planet Iax presents a completely different scene.

The entire planet was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere, and Imperial Guards soldiers on high alert could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

They were dressed in heavy armor, holding sharp rifles, and watching every move around them vigilantly.

At the same time, above the orbit of the planet, several huge Emperor-class battleships were quietly parked like steel behemoths. Their huge hulls covered the sky and the sun, exuding a terrifying deterrent force.

In addition, a large number of cruisers surrounded these battleships, forming an impenetrable line of defense to jointly guard this vital planet.

But it was during the Plague Wars that Iax became one of the main battlefields.

A group of Imperial Guard refugees were brought to Iax, but were later revealed to be unwitting carriers of Nurgle's daemons, who eventually became Plaguebringers and summoned Nurgle's Great Unclean One Ku'gath and his legions.

In addition to here, there is also Espando, which are the main locations where the plague war broke out.

According to Robert's idea, after cleaning up the Chaos pollution in Ultramar, he could launch a great expedition towards the dark side of the Empire.
