Warhammer: Just unified the Empire, you said it was 40K

Chapter 324 Horus Returns? Empire: ?

Horus hardly had to lift a finger on the battlefield.

He had people around him who helped him resolve the war.

During the 30k era, Horus's aura lasted for a long time. The moment Horus rebelled, several legions responded directly, acknowledging Horus's rebellion and following him.

While this reflects the Emperor's attitude towards the Primarchs and Legions at the time, and certainly didn't make the Primarchs feel respected or loved, Horus's appeal was also demonstrated in these instances.

Those Chaos soldiers, when they were killed, clearly did not expect to be killed by their own superiors, and that the killing would happen without warning.

In the blink of an eye, the four Black Legion raiders slaughtered all the surrounding Chaos soldiers and attracted the attention of the Chaos Demons. One of the demon engines, the Howler, who had a deformed body and was cooperating with Abaddon, successfully noticed the four traitors from the Black Legion.

Of course, there were also newcomers to the Black Legion who did not have a strong connection with Horus. These newcomers still abided by the order set by Abaddon. They still listened to Abaddon's voice and followed in his footsteps. Although Horus in front of them seemed somewhat familiar, the long passage of time had long since erased all impressions of Horus from their genetic imprints.

"Destroy the traitors!"

Two new Black Legion raider warriors are equipped with sophisticated Demon Terminator power armor crafted by the Black Mechanical Church of Vashtor. The high-quality equipment is even branded with demonic runes, allowing them to unleash extraordinary power in battle.

"Horus! You are Horus!?"

A Chaos Demon, under the strong cover of two Space Marines, headed toward Horus. In his eyes, the big guy in front of him looked so much like Abaddon, but the other party might not necessarily have Abaddon's strength. And so what if he looked like him? He was immortal.

Even Abaddon only banished him, not killed him.

To him, eliminating this show-off man and his friend, who had been transformed into a demon engine roarer, was a piece of cake.

"Your name is quite nice, but your life, your soul, belongs to me!"

The demon's spine, transformed into a sharp sword, can easily pierce through an enemy's power armor, while the scorching blood and flames spewed from its demonic engine can even break through plasma field shields.

Horus was returning to the battlefield for the first time, and his feelings were somewhat complicated. His thoughts seemed to be drawn to everything on the battlefield, as if he had returned to the days when he fought on Planet Iswan 5, and the experiences of fighting aliens and Imperial enemies in every territory of the Empire.

And now.

As the battlefield's thermal cannons and powerful rifle thermal bullets shot out from outside the warship-class force field shield formed by his external power, ripples spread out.

Horus finally brought his thoughts back to the present.

It was I who placed the emperor on the golden throne, so that he could never stand up again.

I am the one who made the empire what it is today, and there is no going back.

Then
I will change everything and reverse the past.

To allow the emperor to walk among men, and to restore the empire to its former peace and prosperity.

Horus drew the Emperor's sword.

"Father, forgive my sins!"

As if responding to Horus's call, the imperial sword that Horus pulled out instantly manifested flames from the emperor's body. The emperor's psychic energy, through the mark formed on Horus's body, established a stable transmission link, transferring power to the imperial sword in Horus's hand.

Horus was surrounded by an expeditionary force, and even by his descendants who seemed to have had some connection with him.

He is no longer qualified to use the name Shadow Moon Wolf.

The Shadowmoon Chapter got its name because the Empire recognized its efforts and bestowed the name upon Horus, allowing Horus's chapter to inherit this glorious title.

But now, his legion has betrayed the empire, betrayed the empire under his leadership.

He needs to rebuild his legions, regain control of those troops, and bring them back to the empire, making them tools for atonement in his hands once more.

The four people before him betrayed Chaos immediately upon seeing him, which also shows that his offspring did not completely submit to Chaos, but rather betrayed the Empire along with him. Therefore, in the end, the reason was ultimately his own betrayal; they remained loyal.

The battle is underway.

Horus saw someone rushing towards him.

A little devil.

He almost laughed when he saw the other party's smug and arrogant manner.

Back then, in order to inherit the power of chaos, he fought against billions of demons in that world to gain power, and at that time he was just one person.

Now, even though he hasn't fully recovered his power, how is it possible that a mere demon would try to kill him?

ridiculous!

Horus didn't even glance at the other party. He reached out with the power claw in his left hand, swept it across the body of the Chaos Demon, and then, with effortless speed, stabbed it into the massive weapon nozzle of the Demon Engine Roarer.

Horus's Tier 3 alloy, coupled with the most powerful decomposition field device, is capable of decomposing all matter except for Blackstone technology. Even the hardest terracotta armor will be completely decomposed into the smallest atomic units the moment it is touched by his force field, which is similar to a decomposition ray.

But Horus did not stop what he was doing.

The wielding sword, like a flash of light, pierced directly through the demon engine's abdomen. The souls inside howled in agony. They had no emperor to personally protect their souls, so under the absolute threat of death, the demon souls inside emitted painful screams of being steamed.

Meanwhile, the Chaos Demon, which was being disintegrated by the disintegrating force field, was crushed by Horus's foot.

Although he could kill the opponent directly, the opponent was not worthy of that kill.

Horus took action on the battlefield.

He was like a black whirlwind; his appearance on the battlefield inevitably led to a one-sided massacre.

Two Black Legion raiders, who were preparing to assist the Chaos Demons and the Demon Engine in the battle, immediately felt a desire to retreat upon seeing Horus tear the two Chaos Demons apart almost instantly.

They are not native members of the Black Legion; they are merely newcomers. They haven't received the same training as the Black Legion, so they lack the strong spirit of self-sacrifice in battle. Moreover, with someone betraying them, they have better reasons to convince themselves to leave the battlefield. They could easily justify their departure by claiming they need to relay the message.

Once the thought of retiring arises.

Their battle order would then be disrupted, and as the most outstanding war commanders and military strategists in the human empire, they could naturally understand the changes in the battlefield situation instantly and find the most suitable way to launch a surprise attack in the most subtle state of the battlefield.

Faced with the already destroyed psychological defenses of Chaos, the Chaos forces naturally fled and escaped even more frantically, except for those Chaos forces who truly enjoyed the battle.

"Conquer this world!"

Horus allowed the expeditionary force to conquer the world because he had more precise tactics to take over the legions that originally belonged to him.

Abaddon.
This guy can now control his own legion?

Horus's tactics were absolutely powerful and precise; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Empire's Warmaster. Abaddon, on the other hand, was far inferior to him in terms of tactical application.

The reason for the defeat in the Empire War was that he no longer had his own control; the Four Gods took over his body and performed all the operations. As a result, his intelligence seemed to have been reduced, and he could hardly exert his command ability on the battlefield.

Horus looked at the empire's territory before him.

He will reclaim the lost territories, bit by bit.

He made Chaos lose as much as the Empire lost.

Although he already knew the power of the Four Gods, he also knew his own power and the power of the Emperor behind him. Although it was difficult, he was willing to continuously reclaim lost territory for this purpose, no matter how great the price.

Even if the Milky Way were to reignite in flames.

Even if the world is plunged into fear again.

He also wanted to drag Chaos down with him.

Using his own methods, he launched the battle against the Four Chaos Gods, a battle he hated and was most enraged by.

On the planet Cardvin, battles are raging.

Those who fled Cardvin quickly realized that the planet was about to become a sea of ​​fire, regardless.

Horus has returned.

This news will likely spread quickly to various parts of the real universe, especially the Empire. The Empire has already rebuilt the Star Court and linked the Star Speakers to various parts of the galaxy, gaining access to information about what is happening and what will happen in different worlds.

Inside the Star Speaker's Church on the planet Cardiven.

The Star Speakers stationed on this planet organized the information below and attempted to transmit it to the Star Court, so that the Empire would know what had happened here.

From the chaotic invasion war that erupted in Cardvin to the crisis situations during the invasion war.

They all gave brief descriptions.

"My lord, my lord Horus has returned!"

"What Horus? Who is Horus?"

The people at the Inquisition stationed in Cardvin couldn't help but have some doubts when they heard the name, which sounded like an imperial ban, spreading across the planet.
