Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

At the same moment Guilliman made the announcement, countless psionic attacks suddenly rained down, hurtling towards the expeditionary force.

"Enemy attack! Defend!"

Guilliman adjusted his strategy, first summoning the Grey Knights, Living Saint Celestine, and Inquisitor Greyfax to activate psionic defenses. Then, he personally led the Ultramarines in an assault, firing back at the suddenly appearing Thousand Sons.

The chanting of the Chaos Wizard echoed on both sides of the column, and then the rhinoceros troop carrier in the middle of the column was destroyed by evil magic.

Because the enemy's attack was too sudden, even Ye Ming did not expect Qianzi to appear in this place in advance, causing the outermost warriors to be swallowed up by Qianzi's magic!

Even under the influence of those evil spells, some members of the Mechanical Guardians mutated, turning into twisted monsters that were a mixture of flesh and machine.

The mortal troops fared even worse; under the influence of psionic energy, they were transformed into terrifying, mindless blobs of flesh, and the explosions were a sign of mercy for them!

Leading the charge, Guilliman wielded the Imperial Blade, unleashing a powerful surge of Imperial Flame that knocked down several Senju in his path.

The blades grazed their necks, but there was no sensation of cutting into solid objects; instead, there was only the sound of metal clashing.

After they fell, the thousand sons scattered with a crash. Inside their decaying armor, there was no longer any flesh or bones, only a pile of fine sand and dust flowing out.

Because those Astartes with powerful physical bodies had already been turned into soul puppets attached to their armor by Ahriman, the former chief strategist of the Thousand Sons, using powerful red-letter spells during the rebellion.

They are now known as the Red Letter Warriors, commanded by the Chaos Wizard.

"Eldar prophet, tell me our destination," Guilliman asked the Shadow Prophet as he stepped back from the front lines.

"Our fleet remaining in the Webway is undamaged and can be used to quickly disengage from the battle. We will not take the Webway opened by the Emperor of Man to Terra; our target is the gate on the other side of the Webway leading to the Moon."

"Moon?"

Guilliman was startled, not expecting the Eldar to have opened the Web so close to the moon.

But this is not the time to worry about these things. Now that we have a goal, all that's left is to break through!

Guilliman gave the order to break out, leading the expeditionary force in a fierce attack to break through the obstacles constructed by the Thousand Sons and the Demon of the Witch.

Soon, under Guilliman's leadership, the group broke through the enemy lines and rendezvoused with the fleet on the other side.

The group quickly boarded the ship and steered it rapidly toward the other side of the net channel.

With the help of ships, they moved at an astonishing speed and soon arrived at the gate of the lunar network.

After everyone had donned their breathing masks and prepared for a possible ground battle, Hilandri Veilwalker opened the gate.

The strike cruiser and a few remaining frigates and supply fleets flew out, immediately activating their force fields to break free of their restraints and fly beyond lunar orbit.

The people who jumped off the ship found themselves in a huge pit, but before they could determine their location, the Thousand Sons Legion and the Demon of the Wicked came chasing after them.

The group that jumped off the ship were there to intercept these enemies, so they immediately started running in the low gravity environment of the moon.

The living saint Celestine spread her wings and flew into the sky, bathed in the divine light of the emperor. Her twin handmaids were already wearing breathing apparatus, but she herself carried no aids; the imperial light was enough to protect her.

Killieman led the group up the pit quickly, while the clowns beside the net tried to close the net gate.

But their chanting was ultimately a step slower than the Thousand Sons' wizards, and a terrifying burst of psionic magic engulfed the clowns who hadn't had time to dodge.

Then a Red Letter warrior puppet army charged out, unleashing cursed bombs from their Hellfire Cannons at the loyalists in front of them.

Kiliman ignored them and led Ye Ming and the others up the pit, only to find that they were in a ruin full of warship wreckage.

Above is the deep, dark universe, with countless stars twinkling. In the distance, the lunar defense platform is hidden in the dark depths of space, but the spaceships coming and going on it indicate that the platform is still operating normally.

Guilliman looked at the arid planet ahead; compared to its brilliance, the magnificent lunar defense platform seemed insignificant.

He knew that the psionic reactions here must have already attracted the attention of the Terra Defense Force. What they needed to do now was to hold off the pursuing Thousand Sons and Demons and wait for reinforcements from Terra!

And this deep pit is the best defensive zone!

"Deploy armored forces, fleet open fire!" Guilliman gave the order.

Because of the changes brought about by Ye Ming, the number of troops that successfully reached the moon was more than double that in the original storyline, which was about three-fifths of the expeditionary force when it set off!

There were even strike cruisers and frigates brought by Ye Ming, carrying a large number of armored units, and an entire Ultra Warrior company on standby.

When Guilliman's orders were delivered, the armored units on the fleet were launched, and the Ultramarines who were waiting on standby boarded and joined the battle.

Under the powerful suppression of armored forces and the aerial firepower of the fleet, the Thousand Sons forces pouring out from the net tunnels suffered a heavy blow.

Although their counterattack also caused losses to the expeditionary force, the expeditionary force, with its superior firepower, firmly held the upper hand!

Given this situation, the expeditionary force could annihilate the Thousand Sons' forces without even waiting for the Terra Defense Forces to arrive!

But just as they gained the upper hand, an even more powerful dark force burst forth from the net, accompanied by an even stronger vortex of psionic energy, and a red cyclops with wings and horns appeared on the battlefield.

A terrifying and horrifying force spread out and descended upon everyone present.

This man was none other than Magnus, the former commander of the Fifteenth Legion and the Primarch of the Demons!

"My brother, we meet again!" Magnus grinned menacingly as he looked at Terra and took a deep breath, trying to feel the life force of the place.

He had planned everything all along, just to follow along and find a shortcut to Terra!

Magnus raised his hand, and evil psionic magic surged forth, its terrifying power tearing reality apart.

The expeditionary force, which had initially held the upper hand, lost a number of armored tanks and heavy firepower in an instant.

However, Ye Ming and the Grey Knights immediately set up a psionic defense, protecting most of the Astartes warriors and mortal troops.

Magnus looked at the Grey Knights and keenly spotted Ye Ming standing at the edge.

He only glanced at it, but he sensed a strange change. He smiled and then cast the spell again.

If he were allowed to use his magic so recklessly, he alone could probably destroy the expeditionary force completely!

"Magnus, you have betrayed your father, betrayed humanity, betrayed the Empire!"

"Face me! Magnus!" Guilliman charged forward fearlessly, wielding the Emperor's Blade.

He guessed Magnus's intentions, and now only he, the Primarch, could personally intervene to stop him!

Guilliman charged forward, flying like a cannonball, and slammed into Magnus, knocking him down from the sky.

"Follow me!"

Ye Ming also moved at this moment. He saw the Astartes fighting hard and the mortal Star Army soldiers firing desperately.

Having come this far, he will fight with everything he has to ensure these soldiers do not fall before dawn!

"Traitor, prepare for judgment by the Imperial Knights!"
