Before Horus revealed his ambitions, he was still the highest-ranking warmaster of the Great Crusade.
Responsible for leading the War Council.
Command all the forces of the Great Crusade.
In theory, all Primarchs were subject to his orders.
While planning the purge of loyalists in Anthem City and the massacre at the landing site.
Horus sent Sanguinius to a planet called Signus.
His mission statement was to lead a team to expel the local alien forces.
Liberate the local humans and have them join the empire.
At that time, Horus's horrific ambition had not yet been discovered by others.
In fact, at that time, Sanguinius admired Warmaster Horus very much.
The two fought side by side in many battles.
Their relationship was so good that even the other Primarchs were jealous.
Sanguinius also values his friendship with Horus.
He had longed for the chance to prove his bond with Horus, more than any other Primarch.
The Blood Angels Legion followed instructions and headed for the Signus system.
They didn't realize they were walking headfirst into an evil trap.
In the Signus system, the forces of chaos are wreaking havoc.
This was a trap set specifically for the Blood Angels.
Here the forces of Chaos attempted to corrupt Sanguinius.
Through the sacrifice of the Astropaths, the Daemons of Slaanesh and Khorne, Kabandar, were summoned into the real universe.
On Signus Prime, a battle took place between Kabanda and Sanguinius.
Sanguinius severely injured Kabanda, but his feet were crushed. In addition, the huge psychic shock caused by the tragic death of his offspring made him unconscious.
It was precisely because of this crisis that the Blood Angels Legion fell into a state of overall black rage and madness.
On Terra, the Khorne Daemon Ka'bandar was summoned once again, but was defeated by Sanguinius, who broke his spine.
From then on, the Sons of Sanguinius and the Archdemon of Khorne - Ka'bandar - had an irreconcilable feud.
The Daemon of Khorne swore that he would lead the Son of Sanguinius to corruption.
All of Sanguinius' descendants will become servants of the Blood God, slaves to his eternal rage.
And the sons of Sanguinius have been fighting.
They understand the horror of chaos.
I also know that those despicable demons can fail countless times.
But if the other party succeeds just once, the son of Sanguinius will be doomed.
They are always on guard to avoid falling into that terrible abyss of hell.
... ... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... ..
Bawei I.
With the help of many brothers, Mephiston entered the warp and opened a path to the realm of the Blood God.
This behavior is extremely heretical.
Mephiston didn't care about that.
There was nothing he would not use to protect the offspring of Sanguinius.
The power of the other brothers surged through him.
Relying on the vital bond of brotherhood and the blood of the Father to hold the soul tightly together, it prevents it from being lost in the terrible abyss of the warp.
Mephiston revealed his true nature in the Warp.
A pair of huge blood-red wings grew from his back.
Tiny blood vessels are clearly visible on the growing skin.
His body was as black as night.
Those eyes glowed with a bloody light.
Mephiston looked out over the battlefield, where the final end was about to take place.
The flaming Kabandar has an ape-like face with twisted horns.
The blood-red wings behind it were extremely large, and had bone spurs growing backwards.
He was wearing a suit of armor that was mainly black iron with golden edges.
The armor is decorated with brass thorns.
There were also skulls hanging on both sides.
In one hand he held an iron whip covered with steel barbs, and in the other he held a battle axe burning with soul fire.
The bright red skin stretched taut with every swing of the axe.
Kabanda chopped down the last black-skinned demon and smashed its head with a whip.
He walked triumphantly toward the door, ready to pounce on Baal.
Those lovely little angels are about to be taken away by him.
All the offspring of Sanguinius were his.
However, the angry king froze when he reached the gate, confusion showing on his long-legged face.
He reached for the door, only to find his way blocked.
With blood mist spurting from his nostrils, he peered down and spotted Mephiston.
Kabanda grunted and laughed at the sight of Mephiston's winged form.
An angry face was filled with joy.
The heavy hair bound in brass thumped against his breastplate, making a sound.
Yellow eyes sparkled with joy.
"What is this? A cute little angel. Wow, so brave. Did you close the door?" Kabanda stared at Mephiston.
"Go back." Mephiston glared at Kabanda.
"You have no say in this matter. I have earned the right to pass this path. Go away. We will meet soon, little angel. When that time comes, I will call you, and you will become one of the armies of Khorne."
A holy sword appeared in Mephiston's hand, and he took a fighting stance.
"Go back, demon. In the name of the son of the Archangel, no passage is allowed here."
Kabanda snorted, "No, I will go through this door, and you can't stop me. You are of no use here, little angel."
"You will never pass through. We will exile you. Demon, by the will of the Archangel, leave that door, otherwise, you will face the Archangel's wrath."
In response, the demon threw its head back and howled in anger.
The ground was shaking and the sky was rumbling.
The world responded to Kabanda's anger with thunder.
"Your archangel with broken wings has no right to command me." Kabanda pointed his whip at Mephiston. "Bal will fall, and the angels will awaken to their true nature in anger. On the eighth day of my manifestation, the Blood Angels will join the army of the Blood God."
Kabanda looked at Mephiston, and through the body of this legendary think tank, he saw the many think tanks holding hands, performing rituals, and working together to provide power to Mephiston.
"Dream on. My kind have resisted your temptation since the dawn of the empire," Mephiston said. "Get out of here. This door is not for you to pass through."
Kabanda laughed savagely and cruelly. "You don't have the ability, little angel. Since you want to be my enemy, I can only grant you death. Blood is the best sacrifice to Khorne. She never cares who bleeds, but only cares whether the blood shed is enough. You chose death, so let's see if your death can please her."
The Archdemon swings his axe at Mephiston, soul fire burning.
The Warp energy exploded when the blade touched Mephiston.
A terrible shock wave was generated on the surface of the Kingdom of Khorne, blowing countless skulls in all directions.
The skulls were in the air, making a hollow whistling sound.
When their strength is exhausted, they fall like raindrops onto the sand and bones of the fake planet.
On this side of the cave, the impact force radiated from Murphysten.
Every think tank exudes a strong light, sharing the impact of this power.
The entire cave was glowing as well.
The red crystal melted into blood light, absorbing all the power.
The mountain was shaking, but nothing happened, and all the force was dissipated.
This mysterious ritual connects them to the cave.
Kabandar could not harm Mephiston.
"Shameful tactics," said Kabanda.
He looked at the people performing the ceremony with his yellow eyes.
If there is no way to break Mephiston's ritual, there is no way to defeat this guy.
His soul is connected to the real universe, and the ancient rituals combined with the special features of the cave allow him to leverage tremendous power.
Only by destroying the ritual can Mephiston be defeated.
Otherwise, with the rituals and the mysterious cave, Kabanda would be held back for a long time.
"If anyone abandons his loyalty to your corpse king, he will be rewarded with eternal life. I swear in the name of the Blood God."
Kabanda looked at the think tanks and said, "The oath in the name of God is never false. Little angels, I promise that as long as you give up your loyalty to the Corpse King, you will gain eternal life."
No one answered.
However, Mephisto's expression turned somewhat ugly.
He could feel a slight wavering in the heat and anger.
"Little angel, it looks like the situation is not good. They have been tempted." Kabanda chopped at him with the axe again, another powerful impact.
This time, energy sprayed into the material world through the tiny gap.
Their coordination is no longer perfect.
Some people began to waver, and the psychic network had a flaw.
A Golden Son flew out, and his body crashed into the cave, with such a huge force that his armor was dented.
Once again the Librarians filled the gap, whispering the praises of Sanguinius and resisting the temptations of Kabanda.
Mephiston raised his weapon and slashed at Kabanda.
The weapons of both sides collided with each other.
Kabanda was forced to retreat.
But he was not defeated.
Kabanda promised all kinds of things to those think tanks.
Eternal life, the power to change destiny.
Take revenge on those you once hated.
Even if the opponent is dead, you can still hunt down the soul.
On the other side, it also launched attacks again and again, attacking Mephiston with brutal force.
Mephiston fought very hard, and many think tanks were also trying to resist temptation.
But they still failed.
Some think tanks have wavered.
This caused the ceremony to become disrupted and the power was not as strong.
The crystal was shattered in the battle and several Librarians were killed.
Half of the people died, and the remaining people could not stop Kabanda's arrival no matter how hard they tried.
He overturned the barrier formed by the Sons of Sanguinius and opened the gate.
At the last moment, Mephiston reversed the direction of the gate, sending the opponent to Baal instead of Baal Prime.
Dante and most of the Sons of Sanguinius are there.
If Kabanda were to descend there, it would surely bring about a terrible turmoil.
After expending his last strength and repelling Kabanda once again, Mephiston was forced to exit the warp.
The survivors gathered together and Mephiston led them to escape the Bloodstone Mines.
He knew that the final blow would not stop Kabanda for long.
I have to leave.
Leaving Baal, heading to Baal's main star,
They have already failed, and the only way to make up for their failure in fighting the demons is to hunt the aliens.
Mephiston's face took on a hint of bitterness.
Stopping the demon failed.
An already bad situation became even worse.
Kabanda's arrival will surely further stimulate the anger of the Sons of Sanguinius and plunge them into endless rage.
This will be a terrible apocalypse.
... ...
... ... ...
The outer wall defense of Angel Castle.
The sixth wave of attack was repelled.
The battlefield was littered with burning war machines and broken Zerg bodies.
Artillery fire roared day and night, and the sky was filled with the trails of constant anti-aircraft fire and lasers.
The major sub-groups brought millions of tons of ammunition plus Baal's reserves and strategic resources taken away from various destroyed galaxies.
Dante was not stingy with his ammunition.
For him, it is much better to weaken the enemy as much as possible than to save ammunition.
Unholy energy spreads in the sky.
The battle in the void continues.
Ships of various Chapters are still struggling to resist the Tyranid fleet.
Those biological ships were emitting green light. They crossed the void's defense and crashed directly into the ground, trying to control the ground first.
On the ground, Zergs continued to gather and charge towards the human defense line.
They made terrible screams.
That is the will of the hive.
Dante also went to the battlefield.
All around him lay broken limbs of living things.
The armor on his body is full of Zerg blood.
With the sound of the biological horn, another wave of insects retreated.
Realizing that it could not open a path through sacrifice, the Hive Will could only order the swarm to retreat, prepare to optimize tactics and arms, and then launch an attack.
But this does not mean that the Zerg will give up the attack.
They don't care how much they sacrifice.
Retreat is just for a better breakthrough.
They will soon attack again.
But now, Dante and others have got a rare chance to catch their breath.
Dante opened the communication panel and a message popped up.
This is the news from the Star Language Hall which has been moved to the Archangel Castle.
"My lord, the situation in the subspace has changed." The astropathic supervisor said, "It seems that reinforcements are trying to enter the Baal system."
