Then, he waved his hand to signal the officers in the office to go out and closed the door. Then he looked at Abaddon and asked:

"You didn't read what was in it?"

Horus was indeed surprised by this question.

Because in his opinion, with Abaddon's personality, after snatching this hard drive, the other party would definitely check the contents inside as soon as possible. But now, listening to what the other party said, it seems that he did not do that?

"Your order is that no one is allowed to look at it!"

Abaddon didn't explain, he just widened his eyes and almost roared at Horus in a rhetorical tone as he answered.

Then, after finishing speaking, he continued to stare back at their Primarch father so viciously.

"Ah!"

Horus didn't mind Abaddon's attitude too much. Instead, he chuckled lightly, then stood up and took the 'hard drive' and pondered for a while before looking at Abaddon and saying seriously:

"this……"

"It is our fate and future as Astartes!"

Gently stroking its surface, Horus could not help but have a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, as if he was considering something, and finally took a deep breath before sighing so solemnly.

"??"

"Destiny and future?"

Abaddon was slightly startled, and then his head was filled with doubts.

Obviously, he did not expect that the Primarch Horus would give such an answer, but he did not say anything more and just motioned for the Primarch Horus to continue speaking.

"Ah!"

"The matter actually starts when the fourth company commander Sejanus was arrested..."

In this way, under Abaddon's increasingly surprised and shocked eyes, Horus told the general story of the matter, that is, the Fourth Captain Sejanus was captured by the Canopy Stars, and then the Canopy Stars used the Fourth Captain Sejanus to

The gene seeds on her body were combined with biochemical modification technology and a biochip injected with an AI program to create the first female Astartes space warrior.

"And now..."

"You see, the future is in our hands, which is the real reason why we must get it at all costs!"

"It is our future!"

"The future must be controlled at all costs!"

As he spoke, Horus put the hard drive into a separate reader and began to read the contents directly, causing countless experimental data to appear on the wall instantly, allowing them to flow at an astonishing speed and be presented on the wall.

In front of the two people.

"this……"

Listening to the words of the Primarch Horus, and looking at the content on the wall with some dullness, Abaddon's heart was instantly filled with shock and deep uneasiness.

Because he realized the importance of the secret hidden in the hard drive that he snatched back. It was indeed likely to completely change the fate of the Sixteenth Legion, and even the fate of the Astartes Space Marines of all other legions.

!

"But!"

"Father……"

"AI technology is not allowed. If the Emperor knows about it, the Second and Eleventh Legion will serve as a lesson for our Sixteenth Legion!"

Then, Abaddon, who was no longer angry at the original body and realized the seriousness of the problem, looked at the content on the wall, looked at Horus with a somewhat horrified expression, and reminded him with a trembling voice.

"Of course I know!"

"So, you are now the third person to know about it."

"You are also qualified to know..."

Horus turned back and looked at Abaddon pointedly, chuckled, then paused before continuing to look at the data and added sadly:

"And don't worry, I don't need AI technology, nor do I need to research AI biochemicals."

"I just need the transformation technology of the female Astartes."

Soon, the data on the wall was roughly browsed and copied, and then, Horus, who was still a little unfinished, couldn't help but sigh:

"whispering sound!"

"Sure enough, it's only part of it..."

Yes, it is indeed as stated in the intelligence, the information in the 'hard drive' is not complete, only a fraction.

"..."

Abaddon didn't say anything in a hurry, but was just thinking about the gains and losses.

"Father……"

Then, Abaddon, who had realized the importance of this secret, but also understood the risks involved, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head with a sad smile and said:

"Even if it's just female Astartes technology, I think..."

"The emperor will not allow it."

"If discovered..."

Even if he was as loyal as Abaddon, he had to tell that fact in horror and despair at this time. No matter how regretful he felt, it was useless to be unwilling and unwilling to admit it, because it was the truth!

"I know!"

"So the fewer people who know, the better!"

"That's you..."

"Others will not question me like you, so I will not confess to them again."

Horus nodded, with a hint of firmness and coldness on his face.

"And, Huagai Star must be destroyed!"

"Of course, I'm talking about after we get the complete information?"

"They will keep the secret for us, and by then, this incident will have never happened!"

With that said, Horus picked up the hard drive and stared at it for a while, then suddenly crushed it to pieces with a grin.

Now that the data has been obtained and copied into a secret container that only he knows, there is no need for it to exist.

"..."

"I understand, Father."

"I will return to the ground immediately and continue to preside over the battle!"

With that said, Abaddon, who knew the determination of the original body Horus, paled, then saluted respectfully and planned to leave.

If before coming here, his heart was full of resentment and doubts about the original body, now, he is only filled with fanaticism and loyalty!

Yes, it is loyalty, loyalty to the Primarch!

From today on, he will unconditionally fulfill any order of the Primarch Horus, even if it means killing all the Astartes in his first company!

Because...the emergence of female Astartes technology will have a profound impact on the structure and future of the entire Astartes Space Marines, there is no doubt about it.

And he also understood what kind of turmoil and terrible turmoil it would cause once this secret was leaked.

However, no matter what, Abaddon firmly believed that the Primarch Horus must have his own plans and plans. He believed that the Primarch would make good use of this secret and bring a better future to the Astartes.

And he, as the captain of the First Company of the Sixteenth Legion, will unconditionally support any decision of the Primarch Horus.

any!

"No!"

However, Horus reached out to stop Abaddon.

"Abaddon..."

"Your mission has been completed. Come back with your troops."

"I'll give you three days!"

Then, under Abaddon's surprised gaze, Horus unexpectedly gave him an order to retreat immediately.

"this!"

"Father?"

Abaddon's face was full of shock, and he didn't understand why the original body did what he did.

"go!"

"Execute the order!"

The Primarch Horus, who knew how difficult Abaddon had been recently, obviously did not really intend to let Abaddon directly wipe out the most elite First Company, so he still insisted on the order for the opponent to retreat.

"Next..."

"We just need to wait for news from Sejanus, Togadon and Loken."
