"I looked through the files of those dead people, and they are all suspected of crimes. Not many people in the legion have the leisure to kill criminals now. The only one I can think of is you... the traitor."
Talos' calling this man a traitor was not unfounded, or rather appropriate.
Kasati Nuon was once a member of the Night Lords Legion. When the Horus Heresy broke out, Nuon believed that the traitors who betrayed the Emperor were a group of "Oathbreakers" who had betrayed their oaths, so he
During the massacre on Stevan 5, he defected and killed many of these "Oathbreakers" - mostly members of the Eighth Legion - before joining the remnants of the Raven Guard.
The Raven Guard Legion serves Legion Master Corax.
A person like him is naturally considered "famous" in the Eighth Legion, but most people think that he died on Skarlato.
"ha."
Cassati grinned, showing his pale teeth.
"The current you are also suitable for this title, Talos of the Astral Knights."
As he spoke, he threw the skull aside, picked up his sword, picked up his helmet, and stood up.
"But the little guys you trained are good, and the Eighth Legion can still be saved."
"You didn't come here just to talk nonsense to me, right?"
"Of course, I came here mainly for two things. One is to tell you a piece of news. You'd better tell it to the supreme lord commander. Vasco Gore and his Shadow Ghost war gang have come to the Maelstrom.
"
"it?"
Talos frowned, this was not good news, or rather very bad news.
Vasco Gor is also an old acquaintance. He was the former captain of the 27th company of the legion. He was also one of the company commanders who supported the scumbag Count Graveface. This guy has been active in the Eye of Terror and Jeskovo for many years after the great rebellion.
In the secondary sector, he created several massacres, such as spending several weeks hunting down all the natives of Harlan, killing the Watch Lord Mordus in the sector and poaching all the dead Death Watch.
After doing evil deeds such as his eyeball, he gained the favor of Chaos, until he dedicated the heart of a loyal Space Marine Captain to the dark gods, and finally received the gift of becoming a Daemon Prince.
When the Supreme was still alive, he had a conflict with this guy, and Talos also fought against the Shadow Wraith warband under Vasco Gor.
Generally speaking, those people are basically twisted lunatics who have fallen into the subspace and are highly mutated. They belong to the end of the Eighth Legion's chain of contempt.
But this does not mean that they are not difficult to deal with. In fact, a Night Lord Demon Prince is quite difficult to deal with, especially Vasco Gore who was famously shameless in the Legion era, even though there are now Astral Knights and Gray Knights.
Yes, but there is a saying that is good——
He is not afraid of the Demon Prince being powerful, but he is afraid that the Demon Prince is shameless. What Vasco Gor is best at is carrying out terrorist massacres against civilians, and this is what Talos is most worried about.
Now that Huron has invited Vasco Gore here, I'm afraid this worry will be fulfilled.
"What about the second thing?"
"Related to the first thing, I will help you hunt down this bastard."
Talos blinked and suddenly laughed.
"Thank you very much, but...if I remember correctly, you took refuge in that person, and he disappeared for so long, and you suddenly appeared again, it is difficult not to make people doubt that you are him
Sent."
Cassati Nuang walked to Talos with that malicious smile and whispered:
"Is this important?"
"Very important."
Talos said seriously:
"We are the Imperial Expeditionary Force that exercises punishment on behalf of the Emperor. We will not take in people of unknown origin."
"Tsk tsk tsk, punishment, I like these two words, but to say that the origin is unknown and our identity is just the same, maybe I am better."

"Then who do you admit sent you? Why didn't he come himself? If he took action, whether it was Vasco Gore or Huron, wouldn't it be easy for him to do it?"
"Don't ask me about this, I can't answer it. The only thing I know is that I'm here to help you get rid of that bastard. Of course, I also want to see what the new legion looks like."
Talos narrowed his eyes and took two steps back.
"They are not part of the Legion."
Cassati Nuang laughed, not caring that there might be patrols around him. The laughter penetrated the green ghosts around him, like the howl of a demon in the middle of the night.
"No matter how much you deny it, Talos, you still made them look like the children of the night, but more like what the original body looked like before its return, but certain things are still carved into their bones, such as fear and punishment."
"so what?"
"They will eventually break away from the Astral Knights. The Children of the Night will always be the Children of the Night and cannot stand in the sun for a long time. However, escaping into the darkness may not be a bad thing. I have a suggestion. In the future, maybe you can lead them to establish a new
The battle group is covered by the sub-groups of the Nineteenth Legion."
Talos spat on the ground disdainfully.
"I hate crows, let alone ravens."
Cassati Nuang shrugged.
"Just a suggestion, do you plan to keep them under someone else's roof, or become...pirates like the Claws of Ash End?"
"You don't have to worry about it."
The former traitor of the Eighth Legion showed his hands.
"All right."
Talos fell silent and glanced at the opponent's sword. It was a black power sword, the surface seemed to shine with a luster like oil paint, and the hilt was a combination of crow's wings and Midnight's skull.
When the other party looked at him, Talos tilted his head to one side and drew his sword.
His sword was like a winding snake, striking at Kassati's neck, but Kassati was already ready, and narrowly dodged the fatal blow at the last moment. His sword struck Talos' groin.
It hit him, but Talos also dodged at an astonishing speed. At the same time, the long sword flashed out twice and struck Kassati's head as fast as mercury. Kassati had to change the direction of his sword and blocked it.
This blow.
"Not bad, Cassati."
Talos suddenly withdrew his sword.
"Your sharp sword was very famous in the legion back then, but in these ten thousand years you have not turned into a crow that can flap its wings."
"You are very different."
Kasati calmly withdrew his sword, but was shocked inside because his hand was slightly numb at the moment.
The power of this personal scroll that had not been seen for ten thousand years was so terrifying at this time.
Talos grinned, his white teeth shining horribly in the dim green light, like a midnight ghost.
"Who among the legions who have survived to this day dares to say that he has not changed?"
Cassati was silent for a moment and nodded.
"That's true... By the way, have you met the First Company Commander?"
"Um."
"Has he changed too?"
"It has changed. It has changed more than anything you can imagine. He is no longer a company commander, nor is he a prince of crows."
