For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.  \nYET EVEN IN his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon‐infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperors will. Vast armies give battle in His name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio‐engineered super‐warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever‐vigilant Inquisition and the tech‐priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever‐present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants ‐ and worse.  \nTO BEA man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re‐learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.  \nBen Counter ´Grey Knightsª  \nCHAPTER ONE  \nKHORION IX  \nIT WAS A heaving sea of hatred, an ocean of pure evil.  \nFar below, the surface of Khorion IX was covered in a seething forest of torture racks, crosses and squares and stars of bloodstained wood on which were broken hundreds of thousands of bodies, mangled and wound around the wood like vines around a cane. It was like a huge and horrible vineyard, with rows and rows of crucified bodies spilling a terrible vintage of blood into the earth. The victims were trapped between life and death, their bodies exsanguinated but their minds just lucid enough to understand their agony. They were the servants of the Prince of a Thousand Faces, the cultists and demagogues summoned to their master's planet in the hope of an eternal reward that was all too real. Their bodies were merged with the wood that had grown asthe seasons passed, twisting their limbs into canopies of fleshy branches and deforming them until there was barely anything human in them save for their suffering.  \nThey said the screams could be heard from orbit. They were right.  \nAt an unheard signal, the ground began to seethe. The crucified of Khorion IX began to wail even louder, their agony supplanted by fear, as the sodden earth burst into fountains of bloodstained soil and a hideous gibbering rose up from beneath. Iridescent, shifting creatures crawled up to the surface, some with long reaching fingers and torsos dominated by leering, huge-mawed faces, others with bloated fungoid bodies that belched multicoloured flame. There were ravenous swarms of tiny, misshapen things that gnawed at the roots of the crucified forest and immense winged monsters like huge deformed vultures that spat magic fire. Everyone was a shining multicoloured vision of hell, and each was just a pale reflection of their master. The Prince of a Thousand Faces, the Forger of Hells, the Whisperer in the Darkness-Ghargatuloth the Daemon Lord, chosen of the God of Change.  \nA tide of daemons burst like an ocean from the ground and flooded through the crucified forest, shrieking in anticipation and hunger, the greater daemons marshalling the lesser and the lowest of them, forming a mantle of d","cbCaidrAvUHvgK3v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidrAvUHvgK3v","pdf",1363071,102,"English","# CHAPTER ONE\n## KHORION IX","[{\"question\":\"What is the setting and tone of the story’s opening?\",\"answer\":\"The story depicts the 41st millennium as a grim, war-torn realm where only endless violence and daemon threats persist.\"},{\"question\":\"What makes Khorion IX uniquely horrifying?\",\"answer\":\"Khorion IX is described as a torture-filled crucified forest where victims remain between life and death, and from which daemons later erupt.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are the Grey Knights and what is their purpose?\",\"answer\":\"The Grey Knights are daemon hunters of the Adeptus Astartes, trained to resist Tzeentch’s trickery and corruption and equipped to face threats like Ghargatuloth.\"}]","GREY KNIGHTS - CHAPTER ONE - KHORION IX - Warhammer 40,000 Novel | PDF",1789960535,157]
