A huge holographic projection enveloped the entire command room.

Scarlet warning runes flashed rapidly.

The tech-priests adjusted the roaring giant machines, their scarlet robes dragging on the ground.

The suspended servo skull quickly shuttled through the gaps of the machine, using mechanical tentacles to adjust various parameters of the machine.

After the warp channel project in the Mordor system was on track, Dorn prepared to start the webway project according to Guilliman's original plan.

After careful selection, Dorn chose to start the Webway Project in the Beta-Garmon system.

This galaxy can truly be said to be legendary.

It is located at the intersection of Warp routes and is stationed with a large-scale Imperial army.

Even if any unexpected events occur, they can be suppressed and handled in a timely manner.

The Beta-Garmon system was no stranger to Dorn.

During the Horus Heresy, the Beta-Garmon system was used by him as a gateway to deplete Horus' forces.

He concentrated the vast majority of his non-Astartes forces in the Beta-Garmon system to slow the rebel advance and buy time for Guilliman and Lion.

Under the command of the two Primarchs, Jaghatai Khan and Sanguinius, the loyal forces of the Empire stubbornly sniped at the traitors' steps.

Nearly hundreds of naval battles and Titan duels of various scales broke out in the galaxy.

The famous death of the Titan and the sea of fire occurred during the Beta-Garmon Campaign.

Ultimately, the war ended with the victory of Horus' fleet.

The two Primarchs left the Beta-Garmon system with the survivors.

Casualties in the Beta-Garmon Campaign were horrific, exceeding the combined casualties of the last five years of the Great Crusade.

Ten thousand years later, an event also broke out here that was enough to shake the entire empire and even change human history.

That was about the Solar Segment Region troops abandoning their support for the Council of High Lords and choosing to surrender unconditionally to the Imperial Regent Guilliman.

This incident left the Council of High Lords without the confidence to fight against Guilliman, and also prevented humanity from a brutal civil war.

This event that changed the history of the empire was most significantly contributed by the then Prime Minister of the Empire, Tirian.

Unfortunately, this hero was killed by the mad High Lord on the eve of the Primarch's arrival.

Of course, his statue now stands in the Heroes' Square, second only to the Primarch in status.

Countless people are grateful for his efforts and his contribution to uniting humanity.

And now, the Beta-Garmon galaxy is about to usher in another historic moment.

If the webway can be successfully built, the benefits it will bring to the empire will be unimaginable.

Humanity will be free from the interference of the Warp and will no longer rely on groups such as astropaths and navigators that are too dependent on the Warp.

Warp storms can no longer interfere with human navigation.

Mortals will grow rapidly in days of peace, and will step down from the stage after the empire completes its historical mission.

The Primarchs and Astartes also retired to the mountains, never to return to the battlefields or to expeditions beyond the galaxy.

For this reason, Dorn is also very concerned about the Webway project.

He also knew that the gods would not let him succeed so easily.

Once the Webway plan appears, the influence of the gods will inevitably be weakened.

After just a few generations, they became unknown entities in the Warp, just like the Forgotten Ones.

There are abandoned webways left by the Eldar in the Beta-Garmon system.

When the Eldar Empire was destroyed, demons flooded the Webway, causing many places to be closed by them.

Beta-Galmon is also a closed webway entrance.

The seal of the Eldar prevents the demons from entering the real universe, and they can only wander in the intricate webways, howling day and night.

As soon as Dorn opened the entrance to the Webway.

The demons poured out like a flood, launching a frenzied attack on the imperial forces.

They have suffered for countless years, wanting only blood and souls to satisfy their eternal hunger.

Dorn was ready.

The automatic machine guns and suspended unmanned vehicles were already ready.

The roar of artillery fire instantly covered the entrance to the webway.

Those crazy demons were forcibly blocked within a limited range.

"Your Excellency." Grand Marshal of the Black Templar, Amaritch, hurried over from outside the command room.

Dorn looked in the direction of the voice.

Seeing the long sword in Amarich's hand, I suddenly remembered Sigismund of the past.

Sigismund was a former lieutenant to Dorn and captain of the Imperial Fists.

He was one of the few who had a clear understanding of the nature of the Imperium and the fate of the Astartes.

During the Great Crusade, he publicly stated that the Great Crusade would never end.

"The starry sky is endless, and so is our desire for it."

Sigismund believed that even if humans conquered the Milky Way, they would still have ideas about other galaxies.

What awaits the Astartes will be an endless battle.

For the sake of human ambition, wars of expansion are constantly waged.

Dawn suppressed the thoughts in his mind and did not let the memories of the past become his weakness.

He had already known the final fate of his loyal son from the historical records of the empire.

Sigismund lived to be a thousand years old.

He remained in combat until Abaddon launched the First Black Crusade, where he was killed in a duel.

"What's wrong?" Dorn asked gently.

"An Eldar fleet is approaching the Beta-Garmon system. They claim to be coming to assist us at the order of the Great Prophet." Amaritch said.

"Eldar fleet? Assist us?" Dorn frowned slightly. He knew that Guilliman was very close to the Eldar, and he could guess that the Eldar wanted to use the rise of the Empire to protect themselves and avoid being exterminated under the threat of Slaanesh.

"Who is their leader?" Dorn asked.

"It's Yin Fulan, who calls herself the prophet of the Death Army, the Daughter of Shadows. She went with us to Macragge and resurrected the Imperial Regent. She hopes to sail the fleet into the airport of the Beta Garmon system, so that she can let the Eldar warriors assist us in opening up the webway." Amarachi made a brief introduction and stated the purpose of Yin Fulan's trip.

Dorn pondered for a moment. "The Beta-Garmon system is of vital importance. If we rashly let the alien army in, there will be endless troubles, even if we save Guilliman. How about this, I will go there in person to see if these Eldar are really looking for cooperation."

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous? The Imperial Fleet is powerful, but if you board an enemy ship, it will be difficult to protect your safety." Amaritch showed a trace of worry, "Why not let them come to see you? That would be better."

"Don't underestimate me, Amaritch. I am capable of dealing with them." Dorn shook his head and said, "The Empire and the Eldar are deeply connected. We need to rely on their assistance in many aspects. We still have to show some respect for them. Go and get ready first. I will be there soon."

Seeing that there was no way to convince the Gene Father, Amaritch could only follow Dorn's orders.

After saluting, he turned around to convey Dorne's orders.

Communicate with the Eldar regarding boarding.

Dorn glanced at the screen a few more times. The Imperial forces were still trying to wipe out the demons and force the mad tide of demons back to the Webway.

The knights and mechanized infantry are working together, and commanders at all levels are also working hard to cooperate.

After confirming that there was no problem, Dorn turned around and walked out of the command room.

Before leaving, he instructed the priests of the Mechanicus to inform him immediately if there were any problems.

The command center was set up in the base at the entrance of the Webway.

Dorn returned to the warship parked in low-Earth orbit through the space channel and went outside the galaxy to communicate with the Eldar.

In view of the friendship between the two tribes, Yin Fulan did not refuse Dorne's request to board the ship for negotiations.

The warships of the Eldar are more slender and elegant than those of humans, with perfect streamlined shapes.

At its tail there is a huge sail shining with a faint light.

These huge sails can leverage the power of the ether to allow the Eldar warships to travel into the Warp at any time, without having to open a Warp entrance before entering the Warp like human warships.

The transport entered the deck of the Eldar warship.

With a hissing sound, the metal hatch slowly opened.

Dorn and twenty champion warriors selected from the Imperial Fists and the Black Templars walked out of the cabin.

What came into view was a beautiful, slim Eldar woman wearing close-fitting spirit bone armor. She was the leader of this fleet - the prophet of death - Yin Fulan.

Yin Fulan did not hold a scepter like other prophets, but instead used a long sword.

Dorn took a quick look and saw dozens of fully armed Eldar warriors, armed to the teeth, standing behind Yin Fulan.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Son of the Emperor, Rogal Dorn." Yin Fulan performed an elegant salute.

"I'm glad too, Messenger of Death, Yin Fulan." Dorn said, "I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. I just want to know, what are you doing here with this fleet? Although we are allies, don't you think it's a bit too much to bring a fleet so blatantly close to the human galaxy?"

"Please don't misunderstand. We are here to help you, Son of the Emperor. Humans and the Eldar have already signed an alliance. We have no ill will towards you. We only want to assist you in defeating the Chaos Gods and restoring the galaxy to its former peace." Yin Fulan said, "So far, we have assisted you in achieving many victories. Even the current Savior of the Empire, Guilliman, was resurrected with our help."

Dorn naturally knew all the details of Guilliman's resurrection.

The Great Sage of Domination enlisted the help of the Eldar to create the Armor of Destiny.

The other party also assisted Cawl, Celestine and others to block the attack of the Black Legion, allowing Guilliman to be resurrected.

But to say that the Eldar really want the human empire to rise is just a case of their being blinded by greed and unable to distinguish right from wrong.

The Eldar are indeed helping the Empire, but they also have their own agenda.

That is the hope that humans can stop chaos.

Even the undead have this idea.

In view of the complex relationship between the Eldar and humans, Dorn's attitude is that one should not have the intention to harm the Eldar, but one must be on guard against the Eldar.

"We have brought assistance to help you open up the webway. Just let us join the battle and you will be able to break the situation quickly." Yin Fulan continued.
