The city was burning fiercely in flames.
The thick pipe made a crackling sound, followed by a violent explosion, with flames and debris flying everywhere.
The magnificent Gundam hive buildings collapsed with a deafening sound, and a large amount of smoke and dust rolled in, drowning everything that failed to escape.
The scorching flames danced with the smoke, quickly enveloping the entire city in smoke.
People fled in terror from the areas where the betrayers had descended, escaping the brutal massacre.
Thousands were killed by the impact of the Hellclaw drop pods.
The huge impact force shattered the bodies of those people and scattered them all over the ground.
The ground defense array was hastily activated amid the urgent alarm.
The rows of weapons made the clacking sound of rotating gears, the computer slaves opened their mouths in pain, and the sound generators nearby made a harsh beeping sound.
Driven by programs, they observe and calculate everything that happens in the sky.
The results are output to a screen connected to the turret, drawing images of the sky detected for the gunners.
The blessed artillery fire formed a dense firepower network, interweaving in the sky and rushing towards the orange-red sky.
Powerful laser energy beams pierced the dim sky.
The Star Reaper Haken also ordered the fleet to launch an attack, bombing the ground to cover more soldiers landing on the surface.
More shells and light fell on the unprotected city, destroying buildings and illuminating the entire city.
The flames from the burning buildings lit up the entire sky.
Bodies burned in the wreckage of shattered buildings.
The Empire's fighter planes were urgently launched, but they fell one after another under the siege of the Chaos forces, causing huge explosions that illuminated the sky and made the earth tremble again and again.
The energy piles and high-energy fuels used in many fighter jets, once exploded, are terrifyingly powerful, like a large amount of high-energy explosives being detonated at the same time.
They are facing not only traitors, but also the demons following the traitors.
Those strange inanimate objects possess incredible abilities and can easily break through the steel defenses and kill the drivers inside.
The fighter plane fell to the ground, dragging its burning tail, and turned into countless pieces with loud explosions.
Bombs dropped from high altitudes and smashed into the concrete ground. Deep pits appeared on the thick city road surface, and deadly fragments flew everywhere under the impact force.
Many people were killed by the aftermath of the explosion, and some were killed by flying debris while trying to escape in a panic.
The whole city was engulfed in flames and a clamor of despair.
The sky was dyed red with blood and fire, and smoke and shrill sirens enveloped the entire city.
The raging fire could be seen clearly from several kilometers away.
"All for the Warmaster."
The drop capsule landed with a hurried sound, and the heavy metal door was bounced open with a hissing sound of air pressure.
Kruger walked out of the cabin and let out a battle cry.
He tightly gripped the chainsaw sword in his hand, and his ferocious head with horns twisted.
See those mortals who are frightened and panicked.
The face that made ordinary people feel fear and anxiety revealed a creepy smile.
His armour was battle-worn, every ceramite plate etched with chaos runes.
The breastplate is emblazoned with the insignia of the Black Legion.
Behind him was a cloak made of human skin and black thread.
With the passage of time, the cloak has turned brown.
With the skull hanging on the bone spur halo behind him, he looked not like a warrior but more like a wild cannibal from a barbaric world.
Kruger exudes a desire for war and blood.
He couldn't wait to offer a precious sacrifice to the gods.
The warriors who came out right after him and stood beside him were also warriors belonging to the Black Legion.
They all wore armor that was jagged, black iron in color, and decorated with bone spikes and skulls.
These armors all have a strong Baroque style.
These armors are very old, some even dating back to the Great Crusade.
Some of them were warriors of the Black Legion, and even Space Marines from the Great Crusade.
They participated in the Great Crusade, witnessed Horus become the Warmaster, and witnessed the scene of father and son drawing their swords and the galaxy burning.
Finally, they watched Horus being killed and fled the Sol System, hiding in the Eye of Terror.
Now, they are back again.
They came for revenge, to overthrow the rule of the Corpse King, and to bring the glory of the gods to their foolish and ignorant fellows.
Within minutes of landing, Kruger killed nearby civilians and soldiers.
He dyed his chainsaw sword red with their blood.
The death and despair of those poor souls who follow the Corpse King are the best sacrifices to the gods.
Cry.
Howl of despair.
Fools who only know how to foolishly worship the Corpse King, weep before the messengers of the gods.
No one can save you.
Your end has come.
Every time Kruger killed someone, he felt an inexplicable sense of excitement.
Killing became an instinct and he immersed himself in blood and battle.
In fact, he was not a traitor from the beginning.
In the distant past, he was a Space Marine loyal to Terra and the Corpse Emperor, and was once a champion of a Chapter.
The representative of nobility and integrity in the galaxy.
He and his companions fought bloody battles, using their will and weapons to form the empire's defense line and stop those hateful enemies.
Kruger at that time was so loyal that he was willing to defend the Imperium of Man with his life.
Until that incident, he and his brothers in the chapter were punished by the saints of the state religion for trumped-up crimes.
They will enter the Eye of Terror on an expedition of atonement for a hundred years.
During the battle, Kruger witnessed the meaningless death of one brother after another in the regiment because of the stupidity of the state religion and the powerful, and his heart was shaken.
At that moment, he felt that his fight was meaningless.
What exactly is he defending
A corrupt empire founded by a dead emperor
A political game played by a group of greedy and powerful people
The so-called purity of a bunch of state religion lunatics
Kruger couldn't think of the answer, so he gave up the idea of continuing to fight for the Corpse King.
The Corpse King doesn't care about their deaths.
The empire never listens to the voices of those who have been wronged.
Corruption, injustice, greed, everywhere.
The Warp is a hell.
The Empire is another hell.
Why would he help one hell against another for the sake of so-called loyalty
No rewards, no badges, only suspicion.
Is such an empire worth serving
In the end, Kruger killed the Chapter Master who still wanted to be loyal to the Corpse Emperor, and led the remaining brothers on the road to resist the tyranny of the Empire.
When he emerged from the Eye of Terror again, he was no longer the defender of the Empire, but its enemy.
The once strong shield turned into a sharp sword that pierced the heart of the empire, determined to completely destroy this corrupt empire.
Bring the glory of the gods to those foolish fellows.
"We return for revenge, let the world burn." Kruger roared, and so did the other Chaos Warriors.
Many Chaos Warriors scattered in all directions, wielding their weapons and carrying out the massacre quickly and efficiently.
The Corpse King's followers died screaming.
As Kruger killed, he prayed, thanking the power of Chaos for giving him the opportunity to kill his enemies.
Let the Corpse King die, the rule in his name is over.
Human beings will become the subjects of the gods.
Abaddon was about to succeed.
They will win, and those corrupted Corpse King troops will lose.
... ... ... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ...
The rumbling sound of artillery fire rang out.
A Chaos Warrior was blown away, his body broken into two.
Kruger looked in the direction of the gunfire.
An imperial force that reacted arrived under the cover of Chimera troop carriers.
They attempted to build several heavy firepower points to stop the invasion of Chaos warriors.
"A bunch of stupid mortals." Kruger said and then rushed over.
Kruger was very fast, and the laser guns of the soldiers were useless when hitting him, just like scraping.
With the speed of a sprint, his chainsword pierced the body of a crying soldier.
Separate the opponent's upper and lower body in an instant.
He threw away the remains of the body, and the bright red blood stained his armor which was filled with the gifts of the gods.
His strength and speed were beyond the soldiers' expectations.
They were caught off guard, and in just a short while, one third of their members were killed or injured.
A man in an Imperial officer's uniform yelled at the soldiers to direct their heavy firepower and the Chimaera's cannons at Kruger.
Kruger fired a shot in his direction, and the explosive bullet instantly tore his body apart, splattering flesh and blood on the other soldiers, causing them to scream in fear.
Two trembling soldiers raised a single plasma cannon and launched an attack on Kruger.
A flash of incandescent light shot towards Kruger, forcing him to roll to the side, avoiding the plasma beam.
After Kruger stood up, he turned and rushed towards them. With just one strike of the chainsaw sword in his hand, he took their lives and turned their bodies into scattered pieces on the battlefield.
He picked up the individual plasma cannon, and with his talent for warfare, he quickly locked onto the Chimera troop carrier, then pulled the trigger.
A few seconds later, the Chimera troop carrier disappeared in the orange sea of fire, and many fragments fell on the battlefield like raindrops, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers.
"Disgusting stuff."
A voice came from the smoke of the explosion. Jace, who was originally ordered to hunt down the Genestealers, stood on a rubble, looking down at Kruger who had just slaughtered an army.
Jace had already found the lair of the Genestealers and even massacred a group of cultists.
Even the Genestealer leader was defeated by his repeated attacks.
He was just about to chop off that disgusting insect head.
But the arrival of the Black Legion forced him to give up his hunting mission and return to the surface to stop the invasion of the Black Legion.
"You too." Kruger looked at him with hatred and resentment in his eyes. "A disgusting follower of the Corpse King. I can smell the stench of decay from you."
"You are filled with the disgusting aura of chaos. You should hide in your lair so that you can survive for a while longer. Coming here will only make you die faster."
Jace activated the scepter in his hand, arcs of crackling electricity swirling around the tip.
Behind him, other wild wolves also walked out of the smoke, and the red light emitted from the helmet eyepieces was particularly conspicuous.
They activated their weapons, ready to teach these Black Legion idiots a lesson.
"Do you think that Guilliman's awakening can change anything? The Empire is doomed. This was announced by the great Warmaster Abaddon himself. Even if the Corpse King rises from the Golden Throne, he cannot save mankind from its inevitable fate of falling to the gods."
Kruger swung the chainsaw sword in his hand, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The smile on his face became more and more ferocious.
The look he gave the Space Wolves was full of provocation.
He had no fear of these sons of the wolf.
There is even an urge to tease the other person.
"Your words are bullshit." Jace said calmly, looking at Kruger with his eyes, not disguising his contempt for him. "You are a coward who is so weak that he surrenders to the gods. You have no right to talk about anything."
"Yeah!
It's hard to say whether you are a coward or I am a coward."
Kruger rushed forward, his heavy steel boots stomping on the gravel and making a roar.
"Sacrifice blood to the gods."
Kruger roared like thunder as he ran.
The blessing of the Blood God flows through his body.
It filled his whole body with strength.
Jace also rushed forward, "Go back to your warp, traitor."
The Space Wolves followed him to meet the other warriors of the Black Legion, and the fight between the two sides instantly became fierce.
Both of them revealed extremely hateful looks, and they would not stop until one of them was completely defeated.
Anger runs through each other's veins.
Both sides are filled with the desire to kill each other.
They were once warriors who shared a common loyalty to the empire, but now, they drew their swords against each other.
Jace jumped down from a great height, infused the scepter in his hand with psychic power, and violent thunder burst out instantly, knocking Kruger who was rushing towards him away.
Psychic lightning tore through everything around it, shattering the columns and sculptures on the dilapidated pedestrian walkway.
The other wolves howled, brandished their weapons, and slashed at the enemy.
The fight between the two sides was so brutal that every blow was aimed at each other's greatest weakness.
Kruger failed to block the psychic attack. The thunder strike did not kill him, but it sent him flying dozens of meters.
The heavy and huge body slammed into a thick round stone pillar, breaking it into two pieces.
Then he landed on the broken concrete street, tumbling over the rubble.
Blind warning signs flashed wildly inside his helmet.
He didn't need these reminders, as he knew from the pain that the ceramic steel shoulder armor and upper arm armor on his left side were damaged by the impact.
"Damn, you are stronger than before." Kruger got up and waved his hand to knock away the falling rocks.
"You know it's too late, traitor. Today is your end."
Jace waved his scepter, jumped up suddenly, and hit Kruger's head with it, trying to kill him directly.
Kruger used his chainsaw sword to block the opponent's chainsaw sword.
Jace pressed the scepter down hard, pouring psychic energy into it once again.
"Do you think you can defeat me who is blessed by the gods?" Kruger looked at the scepter that emitted a strong light. He could feel the terrifying aura in it. Once it was activated, he would be attacked by the opponent's psychic power and shattered to pieces.
He roared and pushed away the opponent's attack with all his strength.
He immediately raised the grenade launcher blessed by the Warp and pointed it at Jace's head.
"Go to hell."
Before he finished speaking, Jace swung his scepter at Kruger's gun-holding hand. The bomb was changed in direction, and the pile of rocks on the side exploded with a bang.
He kicked again, causing Kruger to lose his balance.
Another psychic energy attack was fired at the opponent's head.
"You despicable and evil traitors who have surrendered to the darkness, do you really think you can win
Where did you get this stupid idea? You want to kill a wolf, are you worthy
”
Jace's movements were as swift as the wind, and Kruger was a beat slow to react. He could see the shining psychic light through the eyepiece.
The next second, the light engulfed him.
The light faded, Kruger's head disappeared, and only the headless corpse emitting heat fell to the ground.
"The hunt is complete." Jace smiled, and the arc of the scepter in his hand gradually faded with a crackling sound.
"As expected of a wild wolf, you killed one of my capable subordinates. Now, I need your head to sacrifice to him."
Jace looked in the direction of the voice and his expression suddenly became serious.
Another warrior of the Black Legion, holding a spear in his hand, stood on a high place and looked down at him.
It was like a replay of the scene just now.
It's just that my positions have been swapped.
"Star Reaper!" Jace's tone became serious.
He naturally knew where this guy came from.
Harkon the Star Reaper, a capable general under Abaddon, the leader of the Chaos traitors.
Previously, the threats received by Vigilance Star came from him.
Haken demanded that many of the dignitaries on Alert Planet surrender to Abaddon within a limited time limit, otherwise the entire Alert Planet would be destroyed and every life on it would be wiped out.
"I thought the younger generation today had already forgotten my name."
Star Reaper-Haken showed a hint of mockery.
Then he jumped down from a high place, and the spear in his hand emitted a spear of light, full of evil and terrifying killing aura.
The spear in his hand was forged by the craftsmen of the Eye of Terror and possessed strange powers.
The dense runes on it represent that this spear is even blessed by the gods.
Once injured, the consequences will be disastrous.
"We never forget traitors." Realizing that the battle was not over yet, Jace reactivated the scepter, bent his body slightly, and prepared for battle.
He looked at the enemy, his eyes slowly becoming serious.
For the Empire, Harkon the Star Reaper is definitely a name that they want to kill as soon as possible.
This guy once started a rebellion that plunged hundreds of worlds into chaos.
More than 10 billion people died in that chaos, and the empire suffered huge losses.
The Space Wolves once tried to hunt the other side, but ended up losing a Wolf Lord and half a Great Company, and finally allowed the other side to escape the sanctions of the Empire.
For this reason, the Space Wolves have always remembered the man who brought them great shame.
And vowed to make the other party pay the heaviest price.
The two sides confronted each other, with their weapons activated and ready to attack at any time.
The Black Legion warriors pulled the triggers, and the bombs shot towards the Space Wolves like hail.
The latter were experienced in this regard. They took a half step back in an orderly manner and adjusted their formation in a moment.
The Space Wolves with shields raised stood in the front, blocked the explosive shells, and then accelerated to knock away the enemy's vanguard.
Soon, a brutal close combat broke out between the two.
By the time they were slightly apart, the rough concrete street was already covered in blood.
Many thousand-year-old veterans of the rebel legions and warriors who had completed the Primaris upgrade fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
The Wolf Priest rushed towards the Star Reaper.
The weapons of both sides collided several times in an instant, sparks flew, power fields entangled with each other, and the fight between the two sides quickly became fierce.
Even after undergoing the Primaris upgrade, Jace still felt the horror of the Starreaver.
As a capable general of Abaddon, humanity's number one enemy, the Star Reaper's power is incomparable to that of ordinary Chaos warriors.
Every time the weapons collided, Jace felt a huge reaction force, which made his palms numb.
The opponent's strength is in no way inferior to his after the Primaris upgrade.
While fighting, both sides tried to find an opportunity to launch a fatal attack.
After Jace's shot missed, Starreaver Harkonn launched his own attack.
The multi-barreled grenade launcher embedded in the gloves opened fire with a bang, and Jace was completely engulfed in the flames of the explosion.
He was forced to retreat.
Suddenly, the stone slab under Jace's feet could not withstand his strength.
The floor cracked, taking away his balance.
In a duel between Space Marines, a single moment is enough to decide the outcome of the war.
The Star Reaper Haken was in front of him in an instant, and the two men were almost looking into each other's eyes.
He thrust the spear in his hand decisively without any hesitation. The spear was so sharp that it pierced Jace's chest in an instant.
The scepter in Jace's hand fell to the ground, and he was picked up by the opponent's spear.
Star Reaper Harkon roared, announcing his victory to the wolves.
The Black Legion shouted excitedly.
The wild wolves were enraged. They forced their opponents to retreat and moved towards the direction of the wild wolf priest.
The morale of the Black Legion's traitors was high, and for a moment, they were unable to break free and had difficulty rescuing Jace.
"Haha, you will never be able to defeat the gods, you idiots."
Star Reaper Harkon made a mocking sound.
Jace was dying, feeling humiliated like never before.
Guilliman's Heart gave him an extremely strong vitality, allowing him to continue to live.
Otherwise, the Chaos Rune on the spear would be enough to kill him.
"You are too happy too soon."
A huge figure rushed out, leaping on the gravel and slashing at the Star Reaper with a sword.
The sword moves quickly and fiercely, and each move is powerful and severe.
Star Reaper was forced to leave Jace behind and respond hastily.
The Space Wolves who arrived dragged the priest back to their own camp. As long as he was still alive, he would be basically fine.
Guilliman's Heart will heal all wounds.
Of course, this treatment takes time.
They just need to buy Jace enough time to ensure he recovers.
"The Corpse King's servants only know how to attack now!
"Star Reaver Haken roared angrily, waving the spear in his hand repeatedly, trying his best to block the opponent's attack, looking a little embarrassed.
"traitor."
Gabriel was indifferent to Haken's words, and just focused on launching an attack, forcing Tuan to retreat.
Then, he pointed.
Several intelligent machines with red lights flashing in their eyes appeared on the scene.
The multi-barreled grenade launchers in their hands roared and fired a series of shots at the enemy, leaving the enemy no time to react.
Haken was hit twice when he wasn't paying attention, and the shoulder armor on his shoulder was shattered.
Many Iron Hands warriors appeared, and while they were hunting the orcs, they saw the airborne Hellclaws and soon realized that Chaos was coming.
Gabriel made a prompt decision, immediately gave up the pursuit mission and returned to the hive.
When I arrived, I saw Jace being picked up by a spear.
He immediately ordered an attack and fully supported the Space Wolves.
Seeing the Iron Hands warriors approaching, Haken realized that he could no longer achieve any results and could only look for an opportunity to retreat.
Gabriel did not pursue them and watched the black legion soldiers leave the battlefield without any ripples.
Now, in addition to the Dark Eldar, Orcs, and Zerg, Vigilance is also facing the invasion of Chaos.
If he rashly pursued these Chaos Warriors, Gabriel was afraid that he would neglect his defenses and be taken advantage of by other forces. In that case, the losses would be too great.
"Thank you, Gabriel, for gaining the friendship of the wolf," said Jace, who was able to stand up.
"That is a great gift indeed. You have also gained the friendship of the Iron Hands, Jace."
Gabriel didn't really care about the fact that he saved Jace.
"The situation is getting worse and worse. The Chaos forces on Vigilant Planet have received support. They are the capable generals under the command of the Great Plunderer Abaddon. It is obvious that the traitor is determined to take this place. We must think of some way to fight against them."
The Wild Wolf Priest remembered the life-saving grace in his heart and changed the subject to talk about the Black Legion.
The Empire also has very detailed information about traitors.
Today, the Imperium's greatest Chaos enemy is the Black Legion led by Abaddon.
This former Captain of the First Company of the Sons of Horus launched twelve consecutive expeditions against the Empire within ten thousand years.
Abaddon failed in every expedition.
Twelve times in a row, Abaddon failed and was banished back to the Eye of Terror.
Everyone believed that Abaddon no longer posed a threat.
However, after the fall of Cadia, everyone realized that the reason this madman became a captain of a company under Horus in the past, and became a warmaster chosen by the four gods after rebelling and escaping into the Eye of Terror, was not because of luck, but because he was truly capable.
In all the twelve failed expeditions, he achieved the appropriate goal;
The Empire won a tactical victory, while he won a strategic victory.
When Cadia fell and the Eye of Terror expanded, creating a great rift, people belatedly realized that the black stone obelisk on Cadia could curb the expansion of the Warp.
Abaddon destroyed a large number of obelisks on every expedition.
The empire never noticed this, they simply thought that the other party wanted to overthrow the empire.
It was not until the fall of Cadia Fortress that his evil ambitions were finally revealed.
The out-of-control Eye of Terror tore apart the entire galaxy like a broken dam.
Abaddon's planning over thousands of years dealt the empire the most fatal blow.
The entire empire was divided into two, and half of the empire's territory lost contact with the Imperial Astronomican and fell into absolute darkness.
The human empire is only one step away from total collapse of order.
Abaddon was just one step away from reaching Terra and fulfilling the wish that his genetic father had always been able to fulfill.
Get rid of the Corpse King and end the rule of this dictatorial tyrant.
Hang all those damned nobles of Terra above their mansions.
"Retreat first. We need to ask for help again." Gabriel said, "Although many Space Marines have arrived at the alert planet, the situation is still not optimistic. We have lost our low-Earth orbit, shields and artillery. With our current firepower, we can't hold out for too long. It will be easy for the enemy to break through our defense line."
"Let him live a little longer." The Wolf Priest Jace showed a trace of unwillingness as he looked at the Star Reaper going away.
But he did not let impulse control himself. The importance of the Vigilance Star far outweighed his personal honor and disgrace.
Their priority is to secure Vigilance, a strategic location that leads to the dark side of the Empire.
"One day, you will kill him yourself," Gabriel said.
"Yes, the wolf never forgets his prey or his enemies." Jace said in a low voice.
"Let's go back to the inner city first."
... ... ... ... ... ... .
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Saints Harbor.
The base of the Lucian family, the planetary governor of Vigilance, is here.
The most magnificent tower in the city is the residence of Lucian XII.
"Are you going to break your promise?" Lucian XII asked angrily to the Mechanical Sage Proyin in front of him.
"It's not written in the agreement that we have to die for the Lucian family."
Proyin refuted Lucian XII's statement in a mechanical voice.
"You promised to become allies with the Lucian family, to help each other, and never abandon or give up on each other." Lucian XII read out the content of the old agreement. "Do you want to be a villain who breaks your promise?"
"If I gave up on you, I would not be standing here, and I would not bring my Skitarii to assist in the defense of Saint Port. I would just turn around and leave, guarding my foundry and watching you being devoured by those aliens."
Not to be outdone, Proyin also accused Lucian XII.
Proyin seldom comes to Saint's Port, and he spends most of his time in the northern city of Jubei.
The northern continent is even more desolate than this side. The long-term development and trauma of that continent has made it full of canyons, deep pits and dark caves.
The underground environment there is complex and the situation is more critical than in Saint Port.
Saint's Port doesn't have to deal with the greenskins pouring in from the underground passages.
Every day in the Great North City, a large number of omnics and crusaders fight in the underground tunnels to prevent the invasion of orcs.
Under such circumstances, Proyin put aside the affairs of Giant North City and chose to go to Saint Port to assist the planetary governor Lucian XII in defense.
All of them originated from contracts signed in the past.
In order to obtain legal mining rights, the Mechanicus promised that no matter what the circumstances, when they received orders from the planetary governor, they would go to Saint Port to assist them in fighting the enemy.
To this end, the Great North City sent the sage Proyin and a part of the crusader army to help Saint Port and protect the planetary governor.
"Then stand firmly with the Lucian family." Lucian XII said indignantly, "That damned imperial regent wants to take away my power that has been passed down from generation to generation. What qualifications does he have to do that
The Lucian family has been passed down for four thousand years, accumulated over generations, and now he wants to take it all away with just one order. This is the greatest betrayal of us loyal people."
"Without the Lucian family, what is the meaning of the human empire's existence!
A man full of betrayal and lies, he slept for 10,000 years, and when he woke up he wanted to take everything away, and he even called it saving humanity, so shameless, so despicable. "
"He is full of lies. He is a complete hypocrite. Everything he says is a lie. The Lucian family has served the Empire for four thousand years. Four thousand years. We have given everything to the Empire. Why is this the result now
Is that fair? Is that fair? "
"According to calculations, the other party's policies will significantly improve the strength of the human empire. It is very likely that the human empire's national strength will rise by several levels within fifty years. From a rational and logical standpoint, the decision of the imperial regent was not wrong."
The Mechanical Sage looked at Lucian XII, who became hysterical after learning about the changes on Terra, and there was no change on his mechanical face.
At this moment, the other party was complaining about Guilliman's abolition of the hereditary nobility.
In the eyes of Lucian XII, Guilliman was absolutely a shameful traitor to the Empire.
"Hereditary succession is a right that people like us are born with. It is a manifestation of our superior bloodline. Why, why should we give way to those peasants?"
