Chapter 518: The Disappearance of Horus (Please Subscribe)

"It seems that Vashtor has completely abandoned them. These rebellious Titan legions are being strangled to death."

"This is good news for me. The Lord of the Furnace has retreated temporarily."

The ambitious Vashtor has not taken any follow-up action since the confrontation with Roxi at the Black Stone Fortress, which has caused Roxi to have more doubts and speculations in his heart.

But at least this guy hasn't done anything bad yet, which is good news amidst the bad news.

At this moment, Luo Xi was watching this most grand and spectacular Titan war in the history of the empire from a more macro perspective.

Or it can be called the Death of Titan.

The Empire deployed about thirty Titan Legions on one planet, including even a top-notch luxurious lineup such as the Flame Sun Titan Legion that Roche brought from the Five Hundred Worlds.

The rebels also have more than twenty Titan legions as pawns. These Titans corrupted by the Warp have stronger vitality and mobility, and have already shown the signs and characteristics of the four evil gods.

The Sun Titan Legion has proven its strength and might, with the Sovereign-type Emperor-class Titan: Fist of Ultramar as its tactical core and four Warmonger-type Emperor-class Titans as its main vanguard. This youngest Titan Legion has allowed many old veterans to see what unwarranted outsiders are like.

The Sun Titan Legion has a distinct style of the Extreme Warriors, which is absolute quantity and satisfaction.

They were built only a few years ago, and were an emergency expansion of the Titan Legion by the Lord of the Limits in response to the Shadow Crusade launched by his traitorous brothers. Therefore, the Sun Titan Legion does not have any well-known tactical characteristics or combat style.

The Legion's regular military strength had reached nearly 250 Titans, and after the war began it was urgently expanded to more than 300 Titans.

The vast majority of Titans are heavy Titans, with only a few Warhound-class Titans filling the battlefield gaps in mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare.

As for the ancient first-level Titan legions like the Death Skulls and Fire Bees, their numbers fluctuate only around 200. Especially due to the years of heavy wars, these legions often dispersed their forces and were always in a partially full state.

When an entire army of Flame Sun Titans comes forward, the enemy will discover one thing: why are there so many strange Titans with brilliant blue Ω marks?

Many of the crippled Titan Legions even needed two or three to contend with the Sun Titan Legion, which made this legion almost a trump card in Sanguinius's hand, especially since this trump card was very obedient.

Roche used new and efficient technology to create this Titan Legion, so it is not bound by too many old customs and rules of the Mechanicus. It can almost be said that they can attack wherever they point, which makes people feel extremely reassured.

So far, the Yanyang Titan Legion has lost nearly one-fifth of its troops, and the conventional forces that can be mobilized are still more than two hundred. They have demonstrated stronger survivability and repair capabilities than their cousins.

With Roche's amplification and blessing, the war inevitably began to transform from confrontation to massacre. Many Titans attacked each other in the ruins formed by the orbital space station. The Empire's Titan Corps was gradually occupying the hive cities controlled by the rebels.

It took half a Terran moon for the intermittent explosions to disappear from the world of Betagarmon II, and the rebel Titan legion was declared completely extinct.

The Empire completely lost seven Titan Legions. These ancient beings had emptied their organization. If the Mechanicus did not intend to revive them, these seven Titan Legions would probably disappear into history.

The remaining Titan legions suffered more or less damage, and in some of the worst-hit ones, only a single digit of Titans were left alive, almost on the brink of total annihilation.

Roche and Sanguinius joined forces to almost wipe out most of the rebels on the planet, echoing Lion Johnson who was clearing the battlefield in space.

"This is an exciting victory. We have destroyed most of the rebels in Horus' camp, including their fleets and ground Titan forces."

In front of Roche was the combat meeting of the Primarchs. All the Primarchs currently in the Beta Garmon system were participating in the meeting in the form of holographic projections.

"But... what about Horus? Where is he?" Faced with this question, everyone fell silent.

"The rebel fleet led by the Spirit of Vengeance has retreated to several planetary worlds on the edge of the galaxy for garrison. They are relying on the fortifications and orbital systems they have built over the years to resist stubbornly."

Ryan Johnson's magnetic voice sounded in the projection. He seemed to be in an extremely excited state every moment, because he was the winner in the final battle against Horus.

But he had not yet achieved real results - only by capturing or killing the warmaster could they claim a complete victory.

"According to my several attempts, Horus is not on the Spirit of Vengeance. The opponent is clearly showing a different tactical style. That is not Horus."

"Horus cannot escape. He may fight to the death, but he will never run away." Leman Russ, who was still bedridden, expressed his opinion. In fact, in his heart, he still did not think that Horus had lost the war.

"Don't be happy too soon, brothers. He must be planning a bigger conspiracy."

When an individual possesses god-like power, what does it matter even if the war forces under his command are annihilated?
As long as Horus is still the one chosen by the four gods, they will not be able to defeat him even if they gather all their legions. This is the absolute gap in strength.

"Leman Russ is right. Horus is no longer the mortal enemy we imagine. We should view him as an invincible natural disaster."

Chagatai Khan was still in shock, after all, he almost died at the hands of Horus.

He and Leman Russ had both had experience of fighting each other in person, so they naturally understood that Horus today could only be dealt with by the Emperor himself.

Although they are reluctant to admit it, there are still some beings in this world that the Primarchs and Legions cannot deal with.

Everyone's eyes moved back and forth on the star map in front of them, and finally locked their target on another star.

"The world of Betagarmon III."

The world that Horus was most likely to go to was also the place that they had always ignored.

In the previous war, the Empire had detected that most of Horus' forces were concentrated on the world of Betagarmon II. Therefore, in order to completely defeat the enemy, Sanguinius also transferred the Empire's Titan Legion to Planet II.

Betagarmon III is only garrisoned by a few loyal Titans and Knight Families drawn from various legions. They guard the vicinity of the Astropathic Communication Tower named "Divination Needle" to ensure the normal operation of the Astropathic Communication Center.

But would Horus abandon most of his Titan legions as bait to attract the attention of the loyalists?

Could it be that the Blackstone Fortress and space fleet that they defeated were also false targets?

Giving up most of one's own strength in exchange for a chance to deceive the world is too crazy... right?

When this thought came to his mind, Luo Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and an ominous premonition was spreading.

But it's not impossible.

Such a counterintuitive war strategy just fits the tactical style of the Sons of Horus Legion: take risky moves and fight to the death in order to survive.
