My Desperate Journey in 40k

Well, the two Primarchs had already led their troops to push back directly, and it would be absolutely impossible to wait until the current stalemate. However, in this era, the reorganized legion is no longer the same legion as before. There are some major problems in terms of manpower and weapons and equipment.

However, the command of the two Primarchs was very strong. On such a huge scale, they could still accurately divide the troops into individual combat forces and liberate worlds from the Blood Crusade. However, this was already the best effort they could make under the condition of limited resources. You know, the Empire's troops were suffering losses all the time.

And those cultists who believe in Khorne can summon a large number of demons only through sacrifice. After these demons rush into the battlefield, they are a huge threat to both mortal troops and Astartes troops. Not to mention those big demons. The combat effectiveness of those guys is simply outrageous on the battlefield. If the Grey Knights' troops had not come to the front line to support, then under the destruction of these big demons, there is no telling where the enemy will push them to.

However, the number of Grey Knights is limited nowadays. To deal with these great demons, the main force of the Human Empire can only use those Inquisitors. The Inquisitors are now exhausted. There are huge Chaos influences on basically every battlefield, including those Astra Militarum who have been driven crazy by the power of Khorne, and those civilians who have joined the cultists after being affected by the power of Khorne.

These are all things that the Inquisition needs to deal with, and these things will continue to deepen the power of Chaos, allowing them to continue their war. It can be said that every time the Empire wins a battle, it has to pay a huge loss. After all, Chaos will not reason with you. It affects humans from a conceptual perspective. The power of Khorne has spread in the dark side of the Empire, and almost everyone feels the anger and the desire for killing.

If it weren't for the missionaries of the state religion and those priests who tried their best to carry out metaphysical hedging, who knows how many troops would have been corrupted. It is very sad to say that when humans face chaos, the best way is actually through faith. In this fucked up universe, this is the true portrayal of humans fighting against chaos.

The power of chaos is like a pile of shit, a pile of shit that sticks to your body. Once you get a little bit of it on you, you can never get rid of it.

"Do you feel it? The power of Khorne has descended upon the dark side of the Empire."

On top of the Sun Fortress, Wang Ming looked at Hu Jin and Zhou Heng beside him. He stood on an observation window, looking at the fleet gathering in this galaxy, and spoke to them.

"I feel it. A feeling of anger, a desire for killing. The influence of Khorne's power on the dark side of the Empire is too profound. This is completely a conceptual thing. Even if I adjust my emotional unit to the lowest level, I can't avoid it."

Zhou Heng looked at Wang Ming and nodded to him. For him, a weapon of the Federation, emotions could actually be shut down through the thinking units inside his brain. But now, even if he shut down all the emotions in his thinking units, that feeling would still appear in his heart. It was an influence on the soul level, and technological means could not completely avoid it.

"I don't feel anything. It may be because the Emperor's power has not yet worn off. I am just like usual now. I don't feel any overly intense anger."

Hu Jin looked at Wang Ming, shook his head at him, and then said calmly that he really didn't feel that he was affected by anything. Speaking of anger, it was no different from his usual emotions. It was just anger towards chaos. Speaking of the desire to kill, he really wanted to chop down the demon now, but this was no different from his usual thoughts.

"You guys..., it's okay, just keep going."

Wang Ming turned his head and glanced at Hu Jin. Looking at Hu Jin's current soul state, it was obvious that he was also affected by the power of chaos and had some emotional problems. However, for the time travelers of the Second Regiment, there was no need to pay much attention to such problems. After all, that was the Second Regiment's usual combat mode.

A reckless man charges forward with a calm face, and then chops all enemies into pieces with a power sword or power axe. At the same time, he can keep his emotions stable and his thinking ability normal while killing, and then plan where to make the next cut. This is the combat mode of the Second Regiment. Is there any problem?

"The second group... well, they really have no effect on this kind of thing."

Wang Ming looked at Hu Jin who had a calm face in front of him. He picked up a data tablet on a small table beside him. Some things were recorded on it, some things about how the power of chaos affected the emotions of the time travelers. Such a huge force of chaos had already begun to affect the time travelers. Although this influence could be ignored, the anger towards chaos was now ridiculously high anyway.

The time travelers were already very angry at Chaos, and now they have begun to prepare various large-yield weapons, ready to show Chaos on the battlefield what human shock is. They are now completely in a state of preparation, and even Wang Ming is a little surprised by this state of preparation.

After all, the time travelers have now taken the initiative to find the First Engineer Corps, and they have almost emptied out all the prototype weapons made by the First Engineer Corps, so much so that the acting commander of the First Engineer Corps has been working non-stop with the time travelers of the First Engineer Corps in recent days. Faced with the troops' endless demands, the scientific research department of the First Engineer Corps has already fired all its efforts.

All the weapons that were still experimental, not yet stable, and still in the design stage were brought out at once, and large-scale mass production began. Then they were thrown into the time travelers' troops. Anyway, time travelers couldn't use them, and the performance of these weapons just needed to be tested, so they were just given to them.

"Well, boss, are you thinking about something?"

Hu Jin looked at Wang Ming. He looked at his body and realized that he had nothing on him. Why was the boss staring at him?

"It's nothing. Just be more restrained on the battlefield and don't let Khorne notice your fighting style."

Wang Ming patted Hu Jin's shoulder, and then spoke to him earnestly, while Hu Jin was confused. What does it mean to be more restrained? Is their usual combat mode so Khorne-like? No, they just chopped the enemy into countless pieces on the battlefield. What is this... Well, maybe it really counts. It's better to be more restrained. If Khorne, the guy sitting on the brass toilet, notices it, it will be very troublesome.

What Wang Ming and Hu Jin didn't know was that, in fact, Khorne had already noticed the Second Regiment a long time ago, even at the beginning of the Second Regiment's creation. He wanted to obtain this army very much, but that was the demon army of other gods, and he couldn't corrupt them no matter how hard he tried.

Therefore, Khorne can only keep an eye on the Second Regiment every day. He always wants to bring the Second Regiment under his command. Khorne likes this group of warriors who are not afraid of life and death, rather than the pure reckless and pure lunatics like the World Eaters, who are butchers with nails hammered into their heads.

To be honest, the Four Chaos Gods actually all wanted to get Sanguinius back then, especially Khorne, who wanted Sanguinius very much, but what he got in the end was just that brainless wetware.

It's like when you drew a card incorrectly. What you originally wanted was that limited five-star powerful character, but you ended up getting a permanent piece of trash. How could Khorne not be angry? What He wanted was an angel, not that piece of wetware with a nail in its head.

And now Khorne has set his sights on the Second Regiment. He wants the time travelers from the Second Regiment, and wants to obtain these real warriors. However, the difficulty of executing his idea is extremely high. The Second Regiment is that man’s demon army. If he wants to obtain the Second Regiment, he must think carefully about how to corrupt them.

Part of this Blood Crusade is also about corrupting the Second Regiment. Khorne wants to use such a huge emotional influence to corrupt the Second Regiment, but the effect... as we have seen before, is not very good. It can be said that the Second Regiment has been almost unaffected.

“My brother, we are finally reunited again, hahahaha.”

The perspective returns to Wang Ming. In the starport of this galaxy, Wang Ming looks at Leman Russ and Ryan in front of him. He looks at the carefree Leman Russ and Ryan who smiles at him, and Wang Ming suddenly has some bad premonitions in his heart. The warehouses of the Sun Fortress may be emptied again.

However, this problem is not a big deal, as long as they do not take the experimental equipment from the First Engineer Regiment. Those things have not been safety tested, and only time travelers can use them without scruples. If they are given to them, who knows how many non-combat casualties will be caused.

Wang Ming looked at his two brothers and smiled at them. Isn't it just equipment? Here, as much as you want, it's all for the Empire anyway. Wang Ming has even started preparing Astartes transformation surgery for the Dark Angels.

Chapter 604 Prelude to the War

"This is a new Astartes transformation surgery arranged for the Dark Gods. We will discuss the details aboard the Sun Fortress later."

Wang Ming looked at Ryan in front of him. He nodded to the old lion, then took out a data tablet and handed it directly to Ryan.

"My brother, is this a little abrupt?"

Ryan looked at the data tablet in his hand and said to Wang Ming with a serious face that regarding the new Astartes transformation surgery, Ryan actually had some concerns in his heart. After all, this was not a technology belonging to their legion, but was independently researched by the 21st Legion.

Lion was still a little skeptical about this kind of thing that was different from the traditional Astartes transformation surgery. Although he could undergo the Primaris Space Marine transformation surgery, this so-called new Astartes transformation surgery was indeed a bit inexplicable, and it was hard not to have some doubts.

"I know, my brother, there is nothing wrong with the transformation surgery of the new Astartes. After all, all I have done was achieved with the approval of our father."

Wang Ming looked at Ryan in front of him. Although the old lion king had lost many of his previous characteristics, his suspicious character still existed. This was understandable, just like when Wang Ming recommended the new Astartes transformation surgery to other legions before.

Many legions have questioned this, even some of the imperial guards guarding the palace on Holy Terra. If Wang Ming did not have the emperor's endorsement, it would have been very difficult to push forward the plan for the new Astartes transformation surgery.

In fact, within the empire, the empire cares a lot about some conservative things, but in Wang Ming's hands, he doesn't care about these conservative things at all. All he wants is to improve the combat effectiveness of the empire and let those chaotic evil gods go to hell.

After Ryan heard what Wang Ming said, he was silent for a moment, then picked up the data tablet and looked at it. Finally, he nodded to Wang Ming, agreeing with what Wang Ming said.

Compared with this era and the Great Crusade era, he knew too little about this era. Although he already knew a lot of things, he still didn't know much about the 21st Legion. Apart from knowing the 21st Legion's terrible record, he knew almost nothing else.

Although he had stayed in the 21st Legion for a period of time, Ryan believed that he had not been exposed to some core things. This was the Lion's suspicion. In fact, during the time that Ryan was on the fleet, Wang Wangming had almost opened up the entire fleet to Ryan.

Apart from being worried that Ryan would be injured by the experimental subjects of the First Engineer Corps, Wang Ming did not stop Ryan from going to every corner of the fleet. Even the database was not locked to Ryan, so he could check all the information of the 21st Corps at will.

However, this suspicious lion still did not really trust Wang Ming. It could not be said that he did not really trust him, but he had an instinctive suspicion towards his other brothers. This was unavoidable, but it also proved Ryan's foresight and wisdom in some matters.

For example, when he was on Macragge, he had actually guessed what Guilliman would do. Before arriving at Macragge, he wanted to stop Guilliman, but after learning the specific situation, he still agreed with Guilliman's approach.

There is no doubt that the dark history that once existed in the empire, the second empire that once existed, is one of the wisdoms of the lion. Although no one wants to mention this, it is still something that really existed.

"I will arrange surgery for your legion as soon as possible. Now let's take a look at the war situation in this area."

Wang Ming looked at Ryan in front of him, and then told him about the situation of this war. Wang Ming and his other two brothers attached great importance to this war. After all, the scale of this war has reached a certain extent. Hundreds of billions of cultists are constantly slaughtering a large number of worlds, and the Empire's military force is limited in this area. If a large number of troops are to be deployed to deal with this area, then Guilliman and the traversers on Holy Terra will need to work overtime. Moreover, this area is not suitable for large-scale military deployment.

Although from the perspective of the battlefield, this area is indeed short of manpower, but from the perspective of Chaos pollution, continuing to increase those warriors will undoubtedly increase the strength of Khorne's faith.

This is also one of the troubles in fighting against chaos in this universe. That is, for chaos, in fact, the more troops are invested, the more its power will increase, because the generation of chaos and the source of its power come from the thinking of intelligent creatures. It can be said that as long as a human sees the devil for the first time, the human who sees the devil has become one of the sources of devil power and evil god power.

Chaos is so unreasonable. You want to fight against it, but you only know that it is the source of its power. There is no possibility of victory, but humans still fight, right? For the battle of their own race, for the battle of the human empire, for the battle of the Holy Emperor on the Golden Throne, humans will not succumb to chaos.

"Specifically speaking, the deployment of troops in this star region is relatively weak, but the attacks of the cultists here are quite fierce. Since there are a large number of demons appearing in this world, and a great demon has been born, we did not deploy a large number of troops here. We only deployed a large amount of orbital firepower to bombard the demons on the surface of the planet, but the effect was minimal."

On top of the Sun Fortress, an officer of the Dark Angels was describing their battlefield layout to Hu Jin. For them, this war was already very difficult to fight. A large number of worlds were at war and were being attacked by cultists all the time. Countless wars were raging on countless worlds. But for the traversers, this war was actually not too difficult to fight. Their enemies had not changed much and were still those chaotic demons.

"It's not a big problem. We will deploy a regiment of troops here, and then use this world to expand to the worlds affected by this star region. Using this world as the starting point, we will recapture this star region."

Hu Jin looked at the holographic star map in front of him, nodded to the Dark Angel officer, and then began to discuss the battle plan with the company commanders of his regiment.

It is worth mentioning here that after Ryan returned, he reorganized the Dark Angels' legion, changing the main cities of the Dark Angels' army back to the strategic composition of the Great Crusade era. This will make it very convenient for him to re-manage the Dark Angels and organize the Dark Angels to fight.

Wang Ming was also aware of this situation. Seeing that other legions had restored the command mode of the Great Crusade era, Wang Ming was very happy. After all, compared to this era, those battle groups or the troop composition of the Great Crusade era were more capable of large-scale combat.

Legion and Chapter, these two concepts are not the same, the Astartes Legion is the real force that can conquer the galaxy, while the Astartes Chapter is just a restriction created by the things written by Guilliman, those things do limit the possibility of large-scale Astartes rebellion, but also completely cut off the ability of the Empire to launch an unprecedented large-scale campaign, there are pros and cons, but specifically speaking, after the Age of Heresy, this is indeed the best plan for a period of reform.

However, the empire regarded this as a tradition, which can only be said to be a wrong path.

"We will begin deployment in this world and deal with all the demons in this world at the same time. The specific battle plan will be determined two hours before we leave for that world. Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Ming looked at the time travelers in front of him. He told them about the war process that they would have to deal with later. Wang Ming now planned to disperse all the remaining troops and recall the first regiment so that the time travelers could regroup and launch a huge battle.

"Report, there is no problem."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The time travelers looked at Wang Ming. They all felt eager for the upcoming war. This was the power of Khorne affecting their emotions, but in terms of boosting morale, this influence might have a very good effect. Anyway, the time travelers could not be corrupted by Chaos. Even if they set up an altar for the Chaos Evil God and pretended to believe in him, their emotions could not provide him with any power. After all, their souls were special and had been tampered with by the Emperor.

After finalizing the specific battle plan, Wang Ming led the time travelers into the battlefield. The first world they had to face was a feudal world. The local civilization level was not very high, and it was also a loophole in the Renaissance Expedition. The Renaissance Expedition would re-establish a complete civilization system on all the recovered worlds, but this world did not catch up with the east wind of the Renaissance Expedition.

Because when the Rejuvenation Expedition reached them, the Blood Expedition had already arrived. Before they could enjoy the civilization improvement brought by the Rejuvenation Expedition, they were directly involved in a huge war. The local planetary defense forces and local nobles, both big and small, were now forced to join the battle under the heavy pressure of the imperial authorities.

All military systems on this world have been disintegrated, and they have been replaced by the Empire's combat system. The Astartes have entered the battlefield, the Astra Militarum have descended on the earth, and the local armed forces, large and small, have all been reorganized into planetary defense forces.

They were equipped with weapons that were eliminated from the former Astra Militarum and joined the battlefield together with the Star Army. Compared with the battle-hardened Astra Militarum, these local armed forces were like a group of children with guns on this battlefield. In the war in this world, their average survival time was less than three hours.

Collapse, escape, suicide, and rebellion are common in the planetary defense forces organized by these local armed forces. It can be said that the number of deserters and traitors who need to be shot every day is actually more than those killed by the demons. This situation is actually very normal when the demons continue to wreak havoc on the planet and the local armed forces and the imperial troops are struggling to hold on.

After all, the only mortal warriors who can guarantee their fighting will in front of demons are those Astra Militarum warriors who are not afraid of life and death, and the mortal auxiliary troops of the 21st Legion. Apart from these, the only planetary defense force that can do this is probably Cartier's White Shield.

"Let's get this demon closer before we shoot him. Lasers are useless at this distance. We still have heavy weapons. Pay attention to the two heavy weapons on the body. Let them cross each other and maximize the firepower."

On the battlefield of this world, in the streets of the main city of Icadia, amidst the countless broken ruins, the local planetary defense forces, the Astra Militarum, and the Imperial Astartes are guarding the city, in a very small position within this city.

An Astra Militarum officer was defending a position with several recruits. They looked at the demons in front of them and clenched their weapons. They didn't actually have many heavy weapons. It was not because they did not have many heavy weapons, but a large number of heavy weapons had been destroyed by the terrifying demon that appeared on the battlefield in the first battle a month ago.

Their regiment originally had a large number of Leman Russ tanks and Chimera armored vehicles, but in that battle, most of these heavy armored firepower were destroyed by the big demon. The armored firepower they had left was still defending on the main street where the demons were attacking, and they only had some individual heavy weapons in their hands, but the firepower of these individual heavy weapons could not provide much.

After all, you can't expect to use two heavy bolters to defend against an entire street of demons attacking your position. If you can really use two heavy bolters to defend against an entire street of demons attacking your position, then you'd better take a good look in your own position to see if the Emperor has appeared in front of your position and sent you a living saint disguised as your comrade-in-arms. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain it.

The soldiers on this position looked at the demons in front of them. They didn't think they could stop them, but they should be able to delay time. Although their sacrifice would not delay much time, it could at least reduce some pressure on the large troops on the main street. You know, the armored forces of each regiment on the main street and the angels are struggling to support them. There are just too many of these demons and they are overwhelming.

Chapter 605: Conversation between Primarchs

On the main street of the city, human troops are struggling to hold on. Countless demons are wreaking havoc on the streets, constantly attacking the human line. Under the impact of these demons, the human line is already in danger. Thermal weapons cannot stop these demons. The concept represented by Khorne can offset the power of thermal weapons. Those thermal weapons hit the demons like water guns.

The most effective weapons against demons are loyal faith, a sword that is not afraid of demons, and the holy fire.

The local planetary defense forces have all gone crazy. They can't stand the fear and anger brought by Khorne. After these feelings merged together, they have become extreme anger. Some of them rushed towards the demons, and some rushed towards their comrades. They have gone completely crazy.

Like a group of headless flies, they rushed towards the demons waving bayonets, while the planetary defense force soldiers who rushed towards their comrades picked up their swords and waved them at the comrades who had been with them day and night.

However, when these planetary defense force soldiers who rushed towards their comrades were about to rush towards those who still retained their sanity, they would be directly turned into a group of blood mist by a series of explosive bombs.

"The souls of mortals cannot remain awake for too long on this battlefield. We must quickly evacuate the civilians."

A Dark Angel held up a bolter in his hand, looking at the soldiers of the Planetary Defense Force who were turned into a bloody mist. This was not the first time he had done such a thing. Every day on this battlefield, he had to kill a large number of mortal soldiers. He had to kill them, even if they were still human beings, but their spirits had been polluted by the twisted power of Chaos.

"My brother, do not feel sad. Their sacrifice is meaningful. They sacrificed for this world and for the empire."

Next to the Dark Angel, another Dark Angel looked at the blood mist and said to his brothers that they were new recruits who had joined the Dark Angels in recent years. Due to the intensive progress of the Revival Expedition and the Dark Angels' reorganization of the legion, they also joined the war.

These new recruits who have just become Dark Angels are still a little uncomfortable with this war. They used to be knights in the feudal world. The justice in their hearts, at least the justice education they have received since childhood, makes them very disgusted with the act of killing their comrades.

"What is that in the sky?"

While the two dark angels were communicating, countless meteors suddenly appeared in the sky. Those meteors seemed to fall to the earth from the broken sky. They were so numerous and so beautiful, just like the meteor showers described in the myths of ancient Terra.

"That's the drop pod."

The Dark Angels looked at the meteors in the sky, they knew what they were, they were the airdrop pods used by the Astartes for orbital airdrops. With so many of them, if they were Chaos Astartes, the defense of this world would be completely destroyed.

However, these airdrop pods did not belong to the Chaos Astartes. Among these airdrop pods, some flew towards their location and landed directly on the heads of those demons. The huge impact force when they landed directly blew away many of those demons. After those airdrop pods landed, the Dark Angels and mortal troops finally saw the symbols on those airdrop pods clearly.
