Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 312 Heading to Dawen Star (Request for Subscription)
The detailed intelligence from Samus was placed on the desk. The four giants of the Second Empire sat around a round table, carefully analyzing the next strategic direction.

"According to the prophecy of Sanguinius, there are unknown enemies on Daven. Even the Primarch may face life-and-death crisis. Enemies of this level are no longer ordinary threats. We must strike hard."

"I, Lion, and Sanguinius will go to Davin together, and Roshi, you will be responsible for providing us with assistance."

Guilliman spread his hands on the table, his eyes moving back and forth, finally fixing on Roche's face.

"You know, I mean..."

Roche saw through Roboute's hesitation and shrugged, saying, "It's just that I'm using some forbidden technology to help you out. After all, Sanguinius has predicted that this journey is extremely dangerous."

Luo Xi said firmly: "I will do my best, at least I can take you to escape."

Guilliman breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to keep bothering his old friend for help, but the current situation was extremely serious.

"Once we have dealt with the matter on Daven Planet, we must set off for Terra no matter what."

Ryan Johnson's voice was firm and decisive, and he would not tolerate any compromise or concession.

“Sanguinius’ prophecy mentioned that he would appear on Terra and fight Horus together with the Emperor, which means he can reach Terra. What about us?” Guilliman was puzzled.

"This has to do with my strategic assignment for you, Roboute. If the Webway can't take us all, then you'll have to stay behind."

As soon as Lionel Johnson finished speaking, Guilliman couldn't help but roar.

"What do you mean? Why should I stay behind? Do you think my loyalty is in question?"

Luo Xi realized that the two of them had started to have friction again, and suddenly felt a headache.

These two people are obviously calm and wise when they are independent, but when they meet each other, all kinds of strange conflicts arise.

You can't stand me and I can't stand you, but we have to get along with each other.

He immediately spoke up to stop Guilliman's rage.

"Guilliman, not only do we want to rush to Terra as quickly as possible to support the loyalists, but the traitors are also gathering all their strength. Those traitors scattered across the galaxy are rushing to the solar system to gather. Someone must hold them back."

After Guilliman's slightly confused brain cooled down for a while, he immediately reacted.

They were right. The three Primarchs could not all leave. At least one had to be left behind to command the army in the rear. They would set up a new layer of encirclement outside the traitors' circle.

This is a very primitive and simple philosophy of war, the so-called siege and attack of reinforcements.

"My original plan was to use the high-speed mobility of the [Tuchucha Engine] to go to the home planet of each traitor legion and unleash merciless destruction on their home worlds. This would undoubtedly greatly interfere with the fighting spirit of some traitors."

In fact, in the 31st millennium, the philosophy of war used by humans is still the same one inherited from the past.

Guilliman surrounded the enemy and attacked the reinforcements, weakening the enemy's strength. Lion's tactics were to steal the home planet, lowering the enemy's fighting spirit by exchanging homes. A legion's home planet was undoubtedly the most important and sacred place, bound to the legion's culture. No legion would allow its home planet to be captured and destroyed.

What's more, the mother planet is the base for the legion to train new blood and store precious equipment and technology. Most of the accumulation is here. The consequences of the old nest being destroyed can be imagined.

"Lion, what is a Tuchucha engine?" Guilliman looked unfriendly.

"A technological creation that can greatly reduce the impact of the warp storm and allow warp navigation to proceed normally. This is a secret of the First Legion."

At this point, there was no need for Ryan to hide anything any longer. It would be a foolish act to hide things from his allies at the critical moment of the decisive battle and counterattack.

Another damn secret.

Guilliman sulked, and Lion never opened up to him.

"But I have changed my mind now. Instead of disrupting the enemy's position in the rear, it is better to go directly to Terra to help the Emperor. The Dark Angels exist because of the Emperor, so naturally they should shed their last drop of blood for the Emperor."

At times like this, the small number of legions actually became a good thing, as the Webway, which had a load limit, was able to carry away the Dark Angels and Blood Angels, while the powerful Ultramarines could not be completely sent away.

At this moment, the overall strategy has been finalized. After resolving the issue on Davin, the two angel legions will take the lead and go to Terra for reinforcements through the webway, while Guilliman will lead a large army in the rear and block the arrival of reinforcements from the traitors.

Everyone obeyed the plan. There was no problem with the overall strategy designated by Ryan. It was indeed the optimal solution.

However, before setting off completely, Luo Xi decided to make a more risky decision.

He was going to take Curze, who was imprisoned in the Shadow Prison beneath Macragge, with him.

"Curze's prophetic ability is more powerful than Sanguinius's. His prophecy may help us avoid some difficult troubles. Secondly, a Primarch-level combat force may come in handy."

This was his response when Guilliman questioned Roche's decision.

"Don't worry that Midnight Haunter will rebel. Since I dare to take him out, I am sure he can't do anything wrong. Iron Man Veronica will watch over Conrad. If he makes any unusual moves, he will be taught a lesson by Iron Fist again."

"And don't you think that it would be more dangerous if all three of you Primarchs left Macragge, leaving Curze alone here?"

When Guilliman heard this, he immediately felt that what Roche said made sense. If Curze escaped again and bypassed Veronica's defense alert, then his home planet would be completely destroyed by the Midnight Haunter again.

To be on the safe side, Iron Man Veronica locked Cozee into her own body. It was like a set of armor with its own thinking, restraining Cozee and giving him a mobile cage.

Guilliman, Lion, Sanguinius, Roche and Curze who was imprisoned in Veronica's Iron Man, such a luxurious lineup boarded Lion's new Caliban, as well as the three Glorious Queen-class battleships that had been repaired, namely the Indomitable Truth, the Red Tear and the Macragge's Glory, and sailed to the Davin system together.

In that place where Horus fell and corrupted, they would end their existence there and completely destroy the anchor of the Ruinstorm in the real universe.

This storm has lasted too long, and as long as the storm of destruction subsides a little, the huge power of the five hundred worlds will immediately rush to Terra to support the Lord of Humanity there.
