[Terra time 00:25:08]
The blizzard took a breather for a moment, and Hades seized the opportunity to begin reporting to the fleet in orbit.
Hades and his party had just arrived and had to make an emergency landing in the midst of a blizzard, which made their landing point a little inaccurate. Hades had originally aimed the airdrop capsule at Skarbrand's head.
One minute after Hades arrived at the area where Kahn and his group were, the team that made an emergency landing with Hades barely caught up with Pluto.
More and more meteors fell from the sky, the hatch slammed to the ground with the sound of gas rushing in, and the knights from the Order of Silence joined the battle.
Some Stormbirds tentatively began to circle above the team. The fierce blizzard was bound to make it difficult for these pilots to survive, but their presence was still necessary. They were needed to provide the ground troops with a better view and necessary fire support.
Although long-range fire support was not very effective against Khorne's army.
Kahn was leaning against a pile of skulls, his body half propped up, hissing breathing coming from his helmet, frozen frost crunching on his breastplate, and his arms were probably broken.
Feeling the rage in his head fade away, Kahn directed the World Eaters to land in formation as best he could, and told his brothers as much as possible about the characteristics of the enemy he had discovered earlier.
The sound of footsteps on the snow was heard, and the leader of the Order of Silence walked up to him.
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Kahn shook his head wildly. Damn it, he wanted to take off his helmet to breathe, but it was too cold outside and without the helmet he would soon freeze to death.
"My lord, the advance team always suffers heavy losses. Your support is the fastest I have ever seen."
Before landing heavy weapons or a Primarch, the Legion would usually send out a small team to explore the way and ensure that there were no specific ambushes in the area.
Kahn staggered away from the pile of skulls that supported him, and the power armor began to inject him with potions.
"I just hope we are not too late, sir. If the situation is correct, please let the army continue to advance. Time is precious."
Hades turned his head and glanced at the main force that was still gathering.
"Can you continue, Kahn?"
Kahn laughed.
"My lord, even if I die, I will die on this land. No World Eater will retreat on the road to find my father."
Hades glanced at him briefly, and Kahn felt as if he was seen through. For a moment, Kahn even began to fear that Hades would force him to go back - he had seen such "self-righteous" officials before.
But Hades spoke,
"Okay, Kahn, but the army won't stop for you from now on, even if you are now the main leader of the legion."
Kahn nodded readily.
"If necessary, my lord, I will give command of the World Eaters to Centurion Mago. The veteran knows how to command the World Eaters. If he dies as well... I will give command to you."
Hades smiled, and he stepped forward, ready to move forward.
"If I die too, who will take over your command, Kahn?"
Kahn was stunned for a moment, and he quickly caught up with Hades.
How could such a being die
Kahn smiled rudely.
"… There will be no such thing as command authority at that time, sir."
Hades nodded, his expression became serious again. In front of the Lord of the Order of Silence was a half-kneeling Knight Ranger.
Hades stepped onto his vehicle skillfully. The sound of engine jets rang out, and the huge mecha slowly stood up. Blood dripped from the dark armor, and Hades looked towards the thick blood mist in the distance.
Now that Skarbrand has appeared, is Angron really still intact
"Then let us go."

[Tera time 03:18:29]
Kahn took off his helmet without hesitation. Half-dried vomit and blood flowed down his neck. He breathed in the moist and warm air in big gulps, and his frozen and blue chest felt the warmth like a needle.
After three hours of forced march, the army arrived at an area shrouded in blood mist. Affected by the magma in the rift valley, the temperature here began to rise.
The aerial forces that had previously provided the army with high-altitude vision were completely useless. Hades ordered them to retreat and hover over the ice source to ensure contact between the ground and the planet's orbit.
The strong smell of blood irritated his nasal cavity and Kahn dry-heaved again. The silent sister beside him gave him a concerned look. He waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
This forced march just now was just... crazy.
There seemed to be an invisible wall covered with chainsaws behind each monster. Kahn watched helplessly as a scarlet monster took a step back and its heel disappeared the next moment, leaving only a hideous wound. The monster suddenly lost its balance and fell down, instantly turning into a pool of meat paste.
But most of the monsters were determined to fight and would never retreat. Their brains were obviously unable to think or understand anything other than their heads and blood.
The scarlet army came towards them with a huge storm.
Seeing all this, Kahn felt his blood turn cold.
Can they still move forward
But at the forefront of the army, the black knights were charging forward with an indomitable attitude. They were at the forefront of the storm, holding their swords high, tearing the storm apart with their own strength, dispersing the enemy forces and reducing the pressure for the troops behind them.
The Lord of the Order of Silence stood silently on the top of the knight, his head lowered, darkness gathered around him, and the screaming scarlet waves visibly dimmed and weakened as they passed by him.
He is like a flag that stands forever, and also like a tombstone that never speaks.
The enemy troops that were charging straight at them were also torn apart by the Knights-Errant. They tried to bypass the Knights to attack the warriors behind them, but their engines roared angrily and their attempts to bypass them only caused them to be further scattered when they reached the battlefield behind.
This greatly relieved the pressure on the rear-line troops, but even so, the World Eaters and the Soulless were still engaged in a fierce battle.
During the battle, the insulation system of Kahn's power armor was completely destroyed, his broken bones were dislocated several times, his helmet was filled with half-dried liquid, and blood was flowing all the time, which slowed down the pace of the captain of the Eighth Company. Several times he felt that he was about to fall, but he was still moving forward, never retreating!
Finally, he arrived.
At this moment, Kahn was already at the end of the entire army, and the command had long been handed over to Mago. There were not many World Eaters around him. The World Eaters with boiling fighting spirit had already rushed to the front, and he was surrounded by Soulless People who were responsible for finishing off the team.
Kahn raised his head and looked at Hades, who was at the front of the team and was faintly visible in the mist, approaching the deep black scarlet pyramid. The Lord of the Order of Silence was still standing firmly above the knight.
Father, here we come.
Kahn thought to himself, his vision darkening as he listened to the crunching of bone fragments in his lungs with every breath.
The last second he could remember was the Soulless people coming up to him, which made him want to vomit even more.

[Tera time 03:23:17]
Hades silently jumped off the knight, and Mago the World Eater was waiting for him beside him.
Hades did not ask what happened to Kahn. Time was running out and the important thing was to find Angron.
But in fact, as the army got closer to the blood mist, Hades felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have had this faint feeling somewhere before.
Hades took a deep breath and simply used the detector to detect the entire neat dark reddish-brown building, but he immediately found that the Empire's equipment could not determine what the building was.
Okay, now Hades can confirm that there is definitely a bomb buried here. It depends on whether the bomb buried by Khorne for him is the same as the one buried by Tzeentch.
Now that we have come this far, it is impossible to go back.
Hades called the mechas to his side. Large vehicles such as knights could not enter the building, and only Space Marines and mortal troops could enter.
The door opened automatically in front of them, and Hades and Mago led the troops into the bloody corridor.
In the dim light, blood covered every corner they could see, making it impossible to tell what their original material was. The rich smell of blood blurred people's senses.
Faintly, angry roars came from deep in the corridor, and Hades heard the sudden stagnant breathing of Mago the World Eater beside him.
It looks like they have found Angron.
However, just as Hades stepped into the entire pyramid-shaped building, silver, red, and green lightning began to slowly light up deep underground.
Khorne laughed.
