In the dark steel wreckage, a group of filthy man-made objects walked swiftly in a muddy land - a filthy swamp composed of blood, highly decomposed corpses and feces, but it once had a story that terrified countless people.
Name, night number.
This battleship was once a symbol of the empire's most glorious era and the lost flagship of a legion. Even after suffering the devastation and destruction of countless wars, it is still one of the most proud and majestic existences among human battleships.
It was once regarded by the Empire as a symbol of brotherhood among the children of demigods, because it was a "gift" designed by one Primarch for another Primarch, but this gift reflected the Empire in its most glorious and bright era.
Some unknown dark sides - when Pettula designed the Night Veil, he added a large number of mazes and traps into the belly of the ship. When he got the ship, Coze used these maze traps to torture and kill those he captured.
people.
Even before the Great Rebellion, the interior of the ship was in terrible condition, with mutilated corpses hanging everywhere.
After the Eighth Legion rebelled, the crazy original body turned his flagship into a morgue filled with corpse odor. Until he disappeared on his brother's flagship, the battleship became the internal base of the Night Lords Legion.
An arena of political struggle, where the Nightbat Council fought against each other, and was eventually seized by the Tattooed Earl.
When it participated in the attack on Terra, it also fired a bullet into the heart of the empire it protected. With the end of the rebellion, the scarred Nightfall became the lair of the daemon prince, and what followed was all kinds of things.
There are many kinds of demons, as well as countless evil creatures of chaos. They regard the Midnight Labyrinth as their home, carve out territories in it, thrive and fight. The largest group among them is the tribe of beastmen who believe in the gods of destruction.
Beastmen, also known as Chaos Beasts by the Empire, are deformed humans born under the influence of the power of subspace. In the early days of the Empire, there was a certain tolerance for these "deformed children", and they were often recruited into the Imperial Army.
, as part of the rapidly expanding human empire, the beastmen in the imperial expeditionary army at that time were considered to be very useful warriors. After all, they were muscular, simple-minded, and had almost stubborn loyalty to their officers, but ordinary
Soldiers disliked them very much because they were noisy, dirty, and often had some quirks such as eating human flesh or worshiping lunar eclipses. At that time, they were still regarded as "subhumans."
But the situation changed after the Great Heresy, and Chaos was brought to the surface as a problem that could not be concealed. Although the Emperor's faith also appeared, those beastmen who believed in the Ecclesiarchy had a simple and fanatical loyalty to the Emperor, believing that
He is a god of vengeance who needs to be worshiped with the blood of his enemies. However, with the intervention of the Inquisition, the beastmen began to suffer severe persecution in the empire, and were listed as prohibited from landing and registering as citizens by the Ministry of Justice. They were also prohibited from obtaining any expropriated items.
As a result of the tax obligation, almost all beastmen within the Astra Militarum were purged.
Eventually, the vast majority of beastmen were labeled "mutants" and became the targets of Hive Bounty Hunters, which forced them to turn to the dark side and begin worshiping the gods of destruction.
In the 41st Millennium, Beastmen can be found in almost all Chaos warbands.
While these fallen creatures retain human wisdom to the maximum extent, the blessings of the gods give them unparalleled supernatural brute force. Their iron hooves and heavy horns can tear through the hardest armor and crush the flesh and bones inside.
It is undoubtedly the realistic carrier of the power of chaos.
Among the beastmen in the galaxy, all kinds of horned beasts are respected. While they make the most of the blessings of chaos, they also have the closest connection with the gods.
The group of sharp-horned beasts with similar facial features, the bloodthirsty and martial Khorne bloodhorns with swollen muscles, the evil and debauched evil horned beasts with a strange smell, and the rotten horned beasts with a foul smell and surrounded by flies. They are all
Follow the mark of the power of Chaos, and be willing to serve until death.
Naturally, the tattooed Earl's men also have a large number of Chaos beasts. They fight in the midnight maze on weekdays. When the war horn sounds, they will gather in large numbers under the banner of the Demon Prince. These despicable creatures full of destructive desires swear to
Destroy all civilization and build altars and monuments to the Chaos Gods in fanatical destruction.
However, in the system of Chaos warbands, they are the lowest level existence. The Demon Prince only regards them as cheap cannon fodder and slaves, and even regularly allows his bloodthirsty Night Lords to hunt in the maze, unleashing their cruel killings.
desire.
This kind of activity is also called "Skinning Night" by the beasts. They regard it as a manifestation of the impermanent side of the Destruction Gods, so they will not resist and will only huddle in their lairs, using all means to block the door and other places.
A kind of conduit, expecting the Skinners to leave after they are satisfied with the killing, so that their lives can create more value for the gods.
When the tattooed Earl was attracted to the surface of an unnamed planet, a part of the beastman tribe followed him, but due to the insufficient capacity of the transport ship, a considerable number of them stayed on the ship. When the Nightfall was controlled, these beastmen
I didn't know what was happening at all, I just felt violent shaking, which was a bad omen for the superstitious beastmen, and they hid more carefully in their lairs.
Until all the abnormalities disappeared, they just thought that things had returned to the past, except that the tribes that left never returned, but this was not surprising. After all, every war was like this. A large number of tribes would disappear, but the beasts
People reproduce very quickly, and more tribes will appear soon.
But what happened next was beyond the wild beasts' expectations. In the huge and bloated maze, some things in red robes began to appear in large numbers within the wild beasts' sphere of influence.
They are armed with various advanced weapons and carry symbols of mechanical gears on their bodies. They will shoot and kill beastmen immediately when they encounter them. At the same time, they also bring many slaves whose arms have been transformed into weapons. Beastmen have seen this kind of thing, so they simply
His brain judged a somewhat bizarre conclusion based on the opponent's color - a new force that believed in Khorne had invaded the territory.
What followed was a war that swept through the entire midnight maze. Although the weapons were not as good as the opponent's, the beasts who had lived in the maze for generations knew this very well. They used the complex terrain to continuously ambush, detour, and harass the intruders.
It really caused a lot of trouble for those people in red robes and slowed them down.
