Nova Troopers-Corvu.
As a Successor Chapter of the Ultramarines, Corvus accompanied Guilliman in the First Indomitus Crusade.
He performed an immortal feat in the destruction of the Orc warlord, Firestarter.
In the battle of the Vitria galaxy, he also engaged in a fierce battle against the Tyranids.
In addition, Corvo played an active role in many battles.
Silver Skull Regiment - Opal.
His experience was similar to Corvo's, both followed Guilliman out of Macragge.
In addition, there is the Raven Guard Chapter Master - Verano.
Verano was originally just the captain of the Silent Company.
After the death of the previous Chapter Master, Verano, who brought back Primaris technology to the Chapter and performed outstandingly in the first phase of the Indomitable Crusade, took over that position.
There are also the Weepers and Scythes of the Emperor who are reorganizing and regaining their strength.
After the Imperial army defeated Abaddon, they encountered the Cancerous Legion.
The two regiments were thrown into battle unexpectedly and without any knowledge of the enemy, resulting in heavy casualties.
The Chapter Masters stood in a corner of the strategy room, not sitting down.
Their armor was too heavy.
Few chairs can bear them.
In addition to these chapters, there are also commanders such as Astra Militarum Generals and Knights.
The Mechanicus also sent representatives to participate in this strategic meeting and provide technical answers.
"Lord Dorne once sent some information, saying that he had encountered Abaddon. The problem was that the other party was very decisive. After realizing that he could not defeat the Empire, he turned around and ran away."
The intelligence chief held a data tablet and sent relevant intelligence to the personal databases of the representatives participating in the meeting, allowing them to have a certain understanding of the current battlefield situation.
"The only thing we can be sure of is that Abaddon is currently somewhere on the Cadia battlefield. The problem is that we cannot confirm his exact location, whether he died on Cadia or at his pass. The Cadia battlefield covers hundreds of star systems, and the war covers a void area of hundreds of light years. There are more than six hundred void battlefields where battles are currently taking place."
"That damn coward, what else can he do but run away!
"Karga said angrily: "I will never allow him to escape this time."
"This is still very difficult. Abaddon's combat ability is not strong, but he is very good at escaping." Corvu of the Nova Corps said: "This is the most troublesome part. If we want to catch him, we must cut off his retreat, otherwise he will continue to escape."
"Lord Calgar will surely be able to do this." A military commander flattered, "Now, His Majesty has personally led the army to attack the enemy head-on. As long as we can cut off their logistical supply from behind, they will not be able to hold on to Cadia for long."
"The problem is how to surround and completely annihilate them." Karga said, "Their failure is inevitable, but if those enemies escape again, it means that new crises may arise."
A reference to those corrupted xenos who seek to challenge the Imperium of Man's divine right to rule the universe.
Everyone's expressions hardened.
The orcs led by Bonebreaker, the space aliens led by the Silent King, the Cancerous Legion, and the fallen traitors led by Abaddon.
They all seek to prevent the Holy Emperor from unifying the galaxy.
What they do is in vain.
Ruling the universe is the unstoppable destiny of mankind.
Any force that attempts to block this destiny must be prepared to be completely destroyed by the empire.
Those aliens wanted to rely on the Eye of Terror to stop the Empire's offensive.
This is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
"If we divide our forces, we can occupy these important corrupted planets and deploy anti-warp force fields in these places. We can form a huge warp stasis belt that spans 150 light years and cut off their retreat route."
A technological sage slid the information projection in front of him.
Accompanied by the hissing sound of static electricity and the sound of mechanical rotation.
The star map also rotates accordingly.
As the sage's movements magnified, the hidden and brief information became complex and detailed.
The star map is very detailed, part of it comes from the star map that Calgar seized from the cultists, and part of it comes from the Eldar.
The location of the Eye of Terror is where the former Eldar Empire was located.
The Eldar hold star maps of areas that have been completely corrupted by the Warp.
The warp certainly distorted the space and time structures between those planets, making them no longer coherent.
But their inherent physical positions in the real universe remain unchanged.
If they can successfully establish an anti-warp link and free them from the Eye of Terror, they will be able to form a siege on Cadia.
Completely block the enemy's army in Cadia.
The Battle of Cadia was the culmination of Abaddon's career.
Using the impact of the Blackstone Fortress, the Cadia Fortress, which was defended by the Empire, was completely destroyed.
Creating a huge rift that runs through the entire galaxy.
However, this was also a turning point in Abaddon's fate.
After Kaul's defeat on the battlefield of Cadia, the Death Army and the Living Saints escaped from his pursuit.
Traveled to Macragge and resurrected Guilliman.
The resurrection of the Thirteenth Son brought about a drastic change in the situation that was originally heading towards chaos.
The empire rose again at an unprecedented and terrifying speed.
Guilliman also leaped from a Primarch to a holy emperor who could compete with the gods.
If he could choose again, Abaddon would probably be cautious about the Thirteen Expeditions.
Unfortunately, even the gods who hold the power of time find it difficult to tamper with a fate that involves such a wide range of things.
Guilliman's reputation has been spread across multiple universes thanks to the exploration team.
The cost of trying to change established history by going back in time is unimaginable.
Calgar examined the holographic star map and nodded, agreeing with the Mechanical Sage's strategy.
"The Weeper is willing to lead a force to establish an anti-warp array."
A Chapter Master stepped out and said.
It was Queller, the newly promoted Chapter Master of the Lamenters Chapter, which had initially completed its reconstruction.
Chapter Master Malvern and most of the Weepers died tragically at the hands of the Cancerous Legion, and their bodies were never recovered.
If there were not several companies and other regiments carrying out other tasks, I am afraid the regiment would have been wiped out.
The current Chapter Master is Queller.
He is a veteran who is comparable to Malvern.
The veteran was eager to fight to prove his leadership and avenge his dead comrades.
The Weepers have been rebuilt.
The number is very small at present, only about one thousand people.
This was a situation where the empire had to allocate all its resources to rebuild so quickly.
The reconstruction of a chapter involves the chapter's style, heritage, and more.
It's not as simple as just stuffing people in.
To become an Astartes, one must undergo complex review and various willpower and endurance training, until it is confirmed that they are able to take on the responsibility of protecting humanity and fighting in accordance with the will of the Holy Emperor, only then can they be considered a qualified Astartes warrior.
In the past, a thousand men were considered a standard number for a combat regiment.
But in today's complex situation, one thousand people are nothing.
The scale of warfare has changed dramatically.
The Empire would often send out tens of thousands of Primaris warriors to fight on the front battlefield.
A thousand people can only undertake some unimportant breakthrough tasks.
Especially in the battle against the inter-universe force - the Cancer Legion.
One thousand people really won't make much difference.
Even if the second to third stages of Primaris strengthening were completed, such a small number of people would hardly be able to play any role.
The power of Yog-Sothoth is beyond the imagination of mortals.
As an omniscient and omnipotent being, its subordinates are equally extraordinary.
Even compared with the Primaris warriors of the Empire, they are not inferior at all.
Karga stared at Queller.
When his eyes fell on the other person, the other person also tried to stand straighter, wanting to use this method to prove that he could complete any task he asked him to do.
"It is very important to build an anti-subspace array. If successful, we can not only prevent the cancerous legion from escaping back to the Eye of Terror, but also lay the foundation for the Empire to attack the Eye of Terror. If we fail, it will inevitably hit morale." A military commander pointed out the problem, "We can't act on impulse. The Weepers have not yet completed their reconstruction. If they are used in a battle like this, it is very likely to lead to their annihilation."
"We are ready. In addition to the one thousand people currently participating in the Cadia battlefield, the Weepers have always been recruiting seedlings. They are being trained under the supervision of veterans. Even if they encounter a crisis, the Weepers can continue their organization and there is no possibility of extinction. If the Weepers do not fight independently for a long time, there is a possibility of extinction. Only in the cruel battle with iron and fire as the anvil can the sword of the Weepers be reforged. No warrior grows up in the training ground, and the same is true for a war group."
Queller's words were very firm.
Most of the Weepers are currently new recruits. Although they have received the second and third stage Primaris enhancements, they know very little about the battlefield.
There is no ability to fight alone.
This situation is very dangerous.
They are warriors, not petals in an ivory tower. Protection will not make them grow, but will only make them become unbearable and desecrate the honor of past heroes.
Calgar was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"If you insist, then go ahead. I will assign you a combat mission, but I will ask you to achieve the goal within a time limit, otherwise I will send someone to help you. I know this is a battle of honor for you, but it is related to the overall strategy of the empire. The Holy Emperor will lead the army in person, and we cannot make any mistakes."
Queller nodded.
He is very aware of this.
The Cadia battlefield will be a crucial battle to completely defeat the alien forces that oppose the empire.
Very important.
It will likely affect the empire's strategy for a long time to come.
Any mistake is unforgivable.
Calgar examined the star map, stretched out a hand, and clicked on a glowing point.
The detailed data of the light spot appeared before everyone.
Earth-like planet: Vann (Eldar crone world, corrupted into a demon world, with a large number of mutant Eldar active, scarlet level of danger)
Detailed data of the planet (This data is provided by the Eldar, and is the data before the Great Extinction. It does not include the data after the catastrophe. Please refer to it with caution.)
Diameter: 9852km, surface gravity: 1.58G, average orbital speed: 30.254km/s.
... ... ... ... ... ..
"This world will be conquered by the Weepers." Pointing at the light, Calgar looked at Queller, "If you are worried that it will be too difficult, you can give up this mission."
"No, the Weepers are ready," Queller said. "Not to be defeated by the Holy Emperor, not to be defeated by the Great Emperor, not to be defeated by Sanguinius."
"Then be prepared. You have fifteen days to take it down, or I will send someone to help you."
Queller said. "I understand."
... ... ...
... ... ... ... ... .
Abaddon stood in an octagonal room.
The walls rose into shadows overhead.
Polished black stone covers every wall.
The door and walls of the secret room are covered with various runes.
In the eight directions, there are naked oracles with curse patterns carved all over their bodies firmly fixed.
"Let me see what that fool Calgar is doing?" Abaddon said, "Let me see how far my plan has progressed."
The Oracle shuddered.
They let out howls of pain.
Blood flowed from their bodies, burning in the eight-pointed star.
Images appeared in the flames.
Calgar's fleet was moving silently along an unknown route.
A smile appeared on Abaddon's gloomy face.
"I hope that idiot Karga can have some brains and defeat my enemy with a blow from behind. I need to get Honso and Vashtor ready. When that guy is cornered, that will be the best time to strike."
"Show me more. Where is Guilliman? Where is Lion? Where is Dorn? Are there any other Primarchs involved? Tell me everything."
The more you come, the better.
Beat the brains out of that Yog-Sothoth.
Then you can reap the benefits yourself.
Once he has regained his honor, Abaddon will return to the Eye of Terror to recuperate.
Just like it was ten thousand years ago.
Some fools would question why he didn't dare to stand up to Guilliman.
Abaddon would not care about those people.
He was disgusted by the shortsightedness of those fools.
The empire led by Guilliman is in its ascendant period. To rashly oppose it would be like an egg hitting a stone, leading to self-destruction.
The gods have fallen silent.
They were all severely injured by the Corpse Worshipers.
Hollowing up in their territory, licking their wounds.
Guilliman has risen, elevated to the same heights as the gods by his fanatical followers.
In such a situation, the best decision is to stay out of the spotlight.
There is no eternal empire in this world.
When the Emperor was ambitious, who could have imagined that Horus's rebellion would allow him to sit on the Golden Throne!
Guilliman is now even more arrogant than his father.
The galaxy can no longer satisfy his ambitions.
Other universes and other galaxies will soon fall into his clutches.
However, the law of this world is rise, prosperity, decline, and destruction.
This huge empire will eventually have some internal problems.
Let them fall into chaos and fighting again.
Empires fall.
Guilliman will also encounter an enemy more powerful than he could ever imagine, who will make him sit on his own golden throne.
The brave words he once said will also be said by his enemies.
The flames burned higher as the Oracle shook and twitched.
