"And the defenders of the Solar System are the Imperial Fists. So what if they are facing nine traitor legions? The Solar System's defense system is the most terrifying in the human empire. Since humans left their home planet thirty thousand years ago, they have been constantly strengthening the defense of their home planet."
"The World Eaters and Word Bearers of the Traitor Legions were crippled by us in the Shadow Crusade counterattack. Even if there are remnants, their strength is very limited. The Night Lords Legion was defeated by the Dark Angels in the Salamas system, and even the Primarch and the Captain of the First Company were captured."
"During the Isstvan Massacre, the Sons of Horus, the Emperor's Children, the World Eaters and the Death Guard tricked the loyalists into going to the surface of the planet in order to eliminate them. In order to kill them, the number of people in each legion was reduced by at least one third."
"The Thousand Sons suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Space Wolves. The Fifteenth Legion is already short of personnel, so they are not very useful."
As Luo Xi analyzed the situation bit by bit, the haze in everyone's hearts dissipated a lot.
Yes, even if the traitors are at the gates of the city, as long as Terra has not fallen, everything can be reversed.
"The more you fear something, the more we must do something about it. Isn't Horus afraid of the three legions far away in the Ultima Thule? As long as we can rush to the battlefield and surround Horus with the loyalists, he will only be defeated even if he has great abilities."
From Samus' words, Roxi realized that the traitors were strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for the loyalists. The traitors, lacking effective supplies, would be drained of their last drop of blood on the way to Terra.

"Tell me how to extinguish the destructive storm or bypass its influence."
Now the key to breaking the impasse is obvious. As long as Macragge's three legions can break through the siege, break free from the shackles of the Ruinstorm and go to Terra to support the loyalists, the rebellion launched by Horus will be difficult to sustain.
As Luo Xi asked this question, he had a secret conversation with Uslan through his eyes.
The old prophet nodded, then shook his head helplessly.
Obviously, what he meant was that the Webway could deliver a batch of reinforcements, but he could not guarantee that all the Second Empire's troops could be sent away, nor could he guarantee that these troops could enter the battlefield of the defense of the Solar System.
During these tens of millions of years, the Webway had experienced the War in Heaven, the war between the Eldar and the Necrons, the birth and destruction of Slaanesh, and the psychic communication explosion unleashed by Magnus and the Thousand Sons Legion. Huge problems had already appeared.
The Eldar were the administrators of the Webway left behind by the Old Saints. On the one hand, their numbers had become pitifully small. On the other hand, they had also lost a great deal of knowledge and technology. The fragmented Eldar no longer had the ability to maintain the Webway.
Therefore, the Webway is an option that can guarantee the delivery of a batch of reinforcements, but it is very unlikely that all forces can be delivered.
Luo Xi and his men must try their best to find a way to resolve the impact of the Destruction Storm. Then they can split their forces into two groups. One group of elite troops can rush to Terra's aid through the webway, while the other group can fight while gathering the loyal remnants and stab the rebels in the ass from the rear.
He exchanged glances with Ryan again. The temper of the Lion King of Caliban was obviously even more violent. To be honest, Ryan's aura was more like that of a devil than that of Samus.
"You can't return to the subspace now. If you die, you are really dead. You can't be exempted from the torture and pain you endure. It's best not to challenge my limited patience."
Samus obviously knew something. After all, the Destruction Storm was the work of the Word Bearer, and this damn demon had always appeared in the Word Bearer's camp.
Perhaps it knows how to break the destructive storm. Just like a typhoon in nature, it must have external support to maintain itself. But where is the source of power for the destructive storm, that anchor point?
"Back then, the Word Bearers slaughtered those planets along the way during the Shadow Crusade, sacrificing all humans and creatures to the High Heavens in exchange for the power to support the formation of the Destruction Storm."
“But we never knew exactly where that anchor was.”
Samus showed great resistance and fear. Even under the questioning of the Untouchables, this scarred Warp Demon remained silent.
This means that the other party believes that even if his soul is destroyed at the hands of the Untouchable, it is better than revealing the secret.
The answer to what could have caused this unusually active Chaos Demon to be so frightened was already obvious.
"Are you afraid of the Four Gods? Your disclosure of secrets will lead to the failure of the grand plan, thus incurring the wrath of the Four Gods?"
Roche's tentative words made Samus tremble all over, and he suddenly felt more confident.
"You don't have to betray your faction, Samus. You are a free Chaos Demon. You are free to do whatever you want. You don't even need to make it too clear. What's the big deal about leaking a little hint?"
While Dulles was torturing the devil, Roche was playing the good cop and calming him down.
If it was Samus in her prime, physical torture and interrogation by mortals would be of no use to her. But now under the suppression of the Black Stone Matrix, she is more like a creature in the real universe.
Its fears, concerns, and desires are magnified, while the savagery and brutality of the Chaos Daemon are suppressed.
"That's enough. It's the beginning of everything. That's the anchor point of the Destruction Storm. That's all I can say."
Samus had a long psychological struggle, and Roche finally got some clues.
"What do you mean by the beginning of everything? Are you referring to Isstvan III? That was the beginning of the internal cleansing of the traitor legion. No, when they decided to cleanse themselves, the betrayal had already begun."
"It is Horus. Horus is the source of betrayal."
The one who spoke was Ryan. He seemed certain of his own thoughts and spoke to Luo Xi.
"It all began with the assassination of Horus, the Emperor's son fell dead, and a monster rose up from his body and orchestrated all the betrayals."
The two looked at each other and took a deep breath.
"Ryan is right, you guys should back off."
The one who spoke was Sanguinius, the Emperor of the Second Empire who hardly cared about anything. The Lion King was in charge of military affairs, and Guilliman was even more adept at politics and logistics.
Sanguinius is more like a golden sacred statue, held in the air for people to admire, but it has no specific function.
The Archangel was lazy and didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. Since coming to his brother's country, Sanguinius, who was roasted on the grill and ascended to the throne of Emperor, hadn't laughed sincerely for a long time.
Sanguinius obviously wanted to say something, and Roche immediately ordered the Think Tank, the Ever-Victorious Army and the Anti-Psychic Squad to stay on standby, while the Hermit was responsible for prying more useful information out of Samus's mouth.
He, Lion and Sanguinius will leave here temporarily for secret discussions.
Samus's value goes far beyond that. He is a Chaos Daemon of the Word Bearers camp and possesses top-secret intelligence on many enemies. Even if the Word Bearers pay attention to the confidentiality of intelligence, it is impossible for them to keep it secret even for a Warp Daemon.
What's more, Samus has been in the subspace for so long, doesn't she have her own network of connections?
Subspace creatures also have their own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, and naturally they also have their own enemies and relatives and friends. Don't imagine them to be too detached and out of touch with the world.
In the past, humans had very little knowledge of Warp creatures. The source of this was the influence of the Imperial Truth, which made humans resist anything that was not within its framework. In addition, the inherently corrupt nature of Warp creatures made it even more difficult to understand them.
"Now that Samus has become our slave, it is natural for us to develop more subordinates along this line."
Luo Xi said to the hermit earnestly that he was going to begin imparting some wisdom from ancient times.
"Tell Samus that it can't be the only one suffering here. It's better to suffer together than to suffer alone. Ask it to reveal the news and real names of other great demons that have grudges against it. Our subspace fishing plan has just begun to show results, so of course we must continue to carry it forward."
"If the Eldar foreigners next door see us, they will think that we humans are petty. What can we do with just one Warp Demon? Give us a dozen more, one for each of us."
At this moment, Luo Xi seemed to be possessed by a certain ancient Terran movie star, and yelled at the hermit in a slightly irritable manner.
The hermit suddenly looked enlightened, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Luo Xi became strange.
He originally thought that Roche was Guilliman's think tank, but later he thought that he was the Primarch's close assistant, like the Sceptre Malcador to the Emperor.
But the reality seemed a little different from what he imagined, and Luo Xi in front of him quietly revealed his dark side.
“As for those demons that were hooked through Samus, we can hand them over to Samus to manage. And by analogy, I don’t believe that these subspace demons, who are as hostile as fire and water, will miss the opportunity to harm other beings.
The demons who take the bait are also required to give their real names, which will be recorded in the Emperor's Words. Please make sure to classify and summarize them."
Luo Xi patted the hermit on the back and gave him detailed instructions, his mouth talking non-stop.
"As for those demons who have a good relationship with Samus, tell them that Samus has found many humans who were sacrificed to him, and because of the brotherhood and good relationship between demons, Samus couldn't bear to keep them all to himself. Those stupid believers are easy to deceive with stupid sacrifices, tell them to come quickly."
"The number of places is limited. If you miss the deadline, don't say that Samus is immoral and unkind. Ask around in the subspace. Everyone knows that Samus is a famous hero."
The hermit felt a chill on his back and broke out in a cold sweat. His already weak body was trembling slightly. Even the Word Bearer felt that these suggestions were extremely immoral. Was this a trick that only humans could come up with?
In this way, one thing leads to another, Samus's friends, relatives and enemies can be nested together, and the cycle will continue. Wouldn't this place become a demon shelter?
The plot at the beginning was not like this!
The hermit just wanted to make a self-sacrifice to make up for his inner guilt and trauma so that his beliefs could be comforted, but now that this has happened, he is basically going to become the warden of the devil's prison.
Emperor, you must believe that I am loyal!
Chapter 311: The Prophecy of Sanguinius
Roche followed Sanguinius's footsteps and came to the warship parked in the satellite orbit.
The archangel seemed to be worried about something, and there were some things that were inconvenient to say and could not be said in such a noisy environment.
Lion El'Jonson watched his brother, waiting for his second Emperor to give his opinion.
Uslan bowed slightly, intending to leave first. Everything in front of him looked like a negotiation between several giants of the Second Empire, so it would be better for him not to be present.
However, Sanguinius stopped Uslan, and what happened next had a lot to do with this Eldar prophet.
"Should we call Guilliman? He is still in Macragge handling government affairs." Roxi looked around and found that the Lord of Five Hundred Worlds was not here.
The Regent, the Lord Protector, and the Deputy Governor are all here. There is no reason why they would deliberately exclude Guilliman from attending the meeting.
What's more, this is Guilliman's Five Hundred Worlds. Although he gave up the position of the Uncrowned King, everyone knows that the Second Empire is actually dominated by Guilliman.
"I have informed him and he is on his way," said Sanguinius.
His huge wings spread out behind him, catching the light of the stars, like glittering gold.
"What the great demon said is true. The source and anchor of the Ruinstorm are related to the corruption of Horus."
The archangel's voice was full of compassion, as if he was crying blood. His tall body trembled slightly, and even the luster of his feathers dimmed.
"Horus is my brother. We were inseparable during the Great Crusade. I have no intention of exonerating him. His actions have caused too much pain to the Imperium and humanity. But Horus was loyal. He died in conspiracy and betrayal long ago."
"Dawenxing."
Luo Xi controlled the Thinker computer here, and the brilliant star map was suddenly displayed in the form of a holographic projection.
He continued to zoom in with his hands, and finally found an ordinary planet, which was Daven, where Horus was corrupted.
"If we want to calm the storm of destruction, we have to put an end to everything on Daven. Because of Horus's fall, that planet has become a concept in the warp. I'm afraid we need to go there in person."
"us?"
Ryan raised his eyebrows, he heard the hidden meaning of Sanguinius' words.
"I am the Protector of the Second Empire. Matters concerning the war should be under my jurisdiction. You said that Daven Star is the anchor point of the Destruction Storm. It's that simple. Isn't it enough to just destroy it with the Extinction Order weapon?"
"Bipolar cyclone torpedoes? Orbital bombardment? If there are living enemies, we can also use virus bombs. My flagship, the New Caliban, has excellent planet-destroying capabilities. If that doesn't work, we can also send in combat planets to completely smash them."
"Don't you trust me? And you want to send other people to destroy the planet Daven with me?"
Caliban is extremely sensitive and suspicious. Any distrust will be infinitely magnified by him, becoming a huge rift that can collapse the alliance.
He stared at Sanguinius, waiting for a powerful answer from him.
The archangel took two steps forward and placed his hands on his brother's shoulders, maintaining constant eye contact.
"No, brother, it's not like that. I have never doubted your loyalty to our father, nor your invincible ability." Sanguinius comforted him. It was obvious that Ryan was soft-hearted, and with the regent's kind words, Ryan's stiff expression finally relaxed a little.
"It's a prophecy. My prophecy tells me that I must go to Daven Star. The key to breaking the deadlock lies with me. This trip is full of dangers, and I don't want to implicate you."
Ryan's breathing suddenly became rapid. This was undoubtedly a tough battle, and he could not let Sanguinius go alone no matter what.
