Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

When he thought Sanguinius was overly conceited, he never thought of a possibility, that is, was he the conceited one?

Lion was proud. The Lion King of Caliban had always believed that he was the best candidate for the Warmaster. Even though the Emperor finally chose Horus, it was only because the achievements of the Dark Angels could not be made public. They were sweepers walking in the darkness, so the achievements of the Dark Angels on the surface might not be outstanding.

Ryan can even say without exaggeration that if it were not for the strongest Dark Angel who had bitten off the tough bone of Randan, I am afraid that several Astartes Legions together would not be enough to fill this huge hole.

"Hou Guin, you must remember that if anything unusual happens to me, I authorize you to use any means to remind me."

"The corruption of Chaos is always invisible, and the invisible enemy is often more dangerous than the visible one."

After giving the instructions, Ryan missed Coswayen even more. His steward never let him down. In comparison, Redros was too reckless, and Houguin lacked some alertness.

"Prepare for an orbital drop for me, and bring my best knights, and we shall fight it out on the surface of Davin."

Ryan closed his eyes and let his animal instincts take over his body.

The elite Dark Angels veterans took action, and the monks of each order took out their best tactics. Fully armed, they followed the Lion King and boarded the landed Thunder Eagle gunship.

During the airborne process, Lion sent a communication request to Guilliman.

"Lion, what's wrong with you?" Guilliman asked.

Lion did not answer Guilliman's boring questions, and said directly: "None of this is important, Guilliman. What is important is that you must be careful in the next action, especially be careful of yourself."

"Never make any decisions in an impulsive moment, and I almost ruined all of us."

Lion cut off the communication, leaving Guilliman and Roche sitting in their private Thunderhawks looking at each other.

"You say... did he really intend to kill us with the whirlwind torpedo just now?" Guilliman couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had a strong premonition that Lion must have planned so.

Madman, this madman, he found that he had overestimated Ryan's moral level.

Luo Xi also smiled bitterly. "But fortunately, Ryan figured it out himself. He didn't let fear and rage dominate him. And I'm afraid his words were not just for us."

What Lion King Ryan wanted to say was that on the planet of Devin, even he had to be doubtful and cautious.

Luo Xi suddenly felt that there were more variables in Davin's journey. They were so fragile. Even if the Primarch was guiding them, could they really remain united?

Before they even saw those unknown enemies, a struggle had already quietly taken place within them.

Chapter 320 Guilliman, what are you doing!

The Thunderhawk gunship was descending at high speed. The planet Devin beneath them looked lifeless, with a completely silent look after the extinction of civilization.

Luo Xi's always useful premonition was rustling. He would rather the planet Daven was filled with green-skinned orcs who built mountains and filled the sea, even if it was like the previous plague planet and killing planet.

This way at least they would know who the enemy is, instead of being like now where they haven't even seen the enemy but the primarch brothers have already started to become disunited.

"I don't know how Ryan found out that there was something wrong with his mentality, but it must have been very thrilling."

Luo Xi said, "We have always believed that Lion, as the Emperor's trump card, has carried out countless dark missions, and his mind and will have always been indestructible."

"In our eyes, Ryan can issue extermination orders again and again without any psychological burden, but in fact, it seems that this is not the case. Ryan also has psychological pressure, but he has always buried everything in his heart and pretended to be cold and ruthless."

As he spoke, he looked at Guilliman in front of him, who suddenly looked guilty, and he immediately became alert.

"Robot, when Ryan was planning to blow us up with the Extermination Order, were you also planning something?"

Roche had seen more than once that the two enemies, Lion and Guilliman, were wary of each other while doing the same thing as each other.

And Roche's suspicion obviously aroused Guilliman's dissatisfaction.

"My friend, you actually doubt me as much as you doubt Lion?" Guilliman stood up, and his head almost touched the top of the Thunderhawk in an upright position.

"I would never have murderous intentions towards my loyal brothers like Ryan did. You know, I'm not that kind of person."

Guilliman was avoiding the main point and quietly changing the subject. Roche was not asking this question at all.

"Don't play dumb with me. Any concealment and suspicion will be infinitely magnified on Daven Star. Roboute, you are not a perfect person. Ryan can admit his mistakes, so why can't you?"

Guilliman's face stiffened, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to continue arguing, but his reason prevailed.

"Grod, give me that thing."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Ever-Victorious Army, who never left Guilliman's side, took out a rectangular box more than one meter long from a sealed safe in the gunboat.

Luo Xi recognized the special sheen and texture; it was a safe made of black stone.

What would Guilliman have in mind for this safe that could suppress the power of the Aether?

Roboute ordered Glod to open the box, and after three identity verification procedures, a miniature stasis state was revealed in the box.

As light from the outside world shone into the safe, Roche saw a ceremonial dagger of mortal size, something he had seen before on Calth, when Captain Ventanus had captured a ceremonial dagger from the enemies of the Word Bearers and used it to banish the Chaos Daemon Samus.

"Why do you still have this thing, Guilliman? You didn't even tell me."

Luo Xi asked seriously. He thought this thing had been destroyed after the Battle of Calth.

The ritual dagger contained the mysterious power of the Warp. Even a Chaos Daemon could be exiled if damaged by it.

The ritual dagger is equally terrifying to life in the real universe as it is to life in the warp.

"Is this the dagger captured by Ventanus, or the one that Kor Phaeron used to stab you?"

Guilliman shrugged and said, "The former, Ventanus once used it to banish demons, and the latter is still preserved in my personal armory. I want to use these sorcerous weapons to better achieve peace and order."

"You and I both know that the greatest enemy on this journey is likely to be a Chaos Demon, so it is time for the power of the ritual dagger to come in handy."

There was a strange look in Roxi's eyes. Just as Curze commented, Guilliman was too naive and had unrealistic fantasies about everything.

Perhaps each Primarch was extremely conceited, and Lion believed that he was always right, while others were just making trouble.

What about Guilliman? He also believed that he had the ability to master this unknown sorcery power, even if the ritual dagger came from the Word Bearers Legion and was a carrier of some evil power.

The hermit who joined them once revealed the origin of the ritual daggers. These filthy objects came from a famous weapon - the Enemy Blade of the Interres Federation.

It was that Enemy Blade that stabbed the Warmaster Horus, indirectly leading to Horus being sent to the Temple of Davin, where he was corrupted by the Warp.

The ritual daggers are made from the fragments of the enemy's blade, so these daggers have a rough and ugly appearance, and even the blade edges are incomplete.

"Guilliman, when you thought that foul ritual dagger would be your aid in defeating the enemy on Davin, did you realize that you had already wavered?"

"You believed that your own strength might not be enough to defeat your enemies, so you sought help from outside sources, even if it was the cursed weapons of the Word Bearers."

"The warp is always like this. When you think you can control it, it will give you some sweetness and rewards. But when you become more and more addicted to it, the warp will take the price."

"Countless gamblers have tried to take advantage of the Warp, but has anyone ever succeeded? The Warp never loses."

Grod, the leader of the Ever-Victorious Army, wanted to defend his father, but Luo Xi stopped him directly.

"This is between me and your father."

Luo Xi did not show any majesty or aura, but the ever-victorious army who was about to speak wisely shut his mouth.

In Macragge, it is better to offend Guilliman than to offend Roche. At least the former has a broad mind, and Guilliman's time is more precious than gold as he is busy with paperwork. Not everyone is qualified to be remembered and retaliated by him.

As for the latter, Grod still remembered that when Roche was just a mortal adviser to Guilliman, some of his legion brothers showed contempt towards him, and even spoke rudely to him as they did to other mortals in the past.

They were unhappy that their father had trusted a mortal over the Ultramarines.

Later, as far as Grod knew, those Ultramarines were exiled to the frontier.

Although the Astartes did not care where they served, they were created as weapons of war, but the change from being able to see the Primarch with their own eyes frequently to possibly not seeing Guilliman again in this lifetime was a heavy blow to many Astartes.

The importance of the Primarch to the Astartes Legion is incomparable. Many times, even if the Primarch is just a mascot or even a burden, as long as he is in the Legion, the Legion can feel safe.

Well, Grod definitely didn't mean to mock the former World Eaters Legion.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being able to guard the border for the Primarch, but being able to stay by my father's side will give me a wider world.

"Listen to me Guilliman, the ritual dagger is a poison. It may quench your thirst temporarily, but it is also corroding and contaminating you without you realizing it."

Roche seldom reasoned with Guilliman, because the other party could instantly refute the loopholes in his words from a dozen angles. Perhaps the only one who could compete with Guilliman in verbal combat was the Khan of Chogoris.

"You're right, Roxie."

Guilliman took the advice and thought of Lion. He just thought that what he did was absolutely the right thing and he was saving the Empire and the Emperor, but he hesitated and came to his senses in the end.

When you blame others, it's best to think about yourself first.

Roboute suddenly realized that it was not that they had not encountered the enemy yet, but that the enemy had already launched an attack on them at the macro and micro levels.

The enemy is invisible and untouchable. It reinforces the Primarch's character flaws, creates doubts, and instigates brothers to turn against each other.

Sanguinius, have you sensed it? That's why you are rushing to the surface of Daven. Have you made your decision?

Guilliman placed the ritual dagger on the deck of the Thunderhawk gunship, and the Hand of Domination fell down with a loud bang. The Thunderhawk gunship seemed to tremble under this punch.

The power gauntlet with activated disintegration field smashed the sorcery weapon into dozens of pieces. The steel handle was twisted and deformed. Guilliman crushed it with one punch after another until the wreckage turned into ashes and disappeared into the atmosphere.

Roboute felt waves of numbness. He destroyed the weapon that could have secured his victory with his own hands, but the burden in his heart was much lighter, and he even felt a long-lost peace.

"You won. In the first invisible battle on Planet Daven, all three of you brothers won." Luo Xi said with a smile.

Chapter 321: Daven Temple (Please subscribe)

The three legions of Astartes arrived at the huge basin surrounded by the jagged craters.

The airdrop pods cut through the sky, and Thunderhawk gunships and Stormbirds flew across the clouds, forming a huge formation and landing here.

Both the aucmagraph and the psychic divination showed that there was nothing in the basin canyon below. The environment was eerily quiet and lifeless.

"Notify the troops to build positions. We must be fully prepared." Guilliman passed on the order.

For this expedition, the Ultramarines brought over 50,000 Astartes, and with 20,000 Dark Angels and 30,000 Blood Angels, there were already about 100,000 Astartes gathered in the Davin system.

This is a force that is powerful enough to sweep across the eastern galaxy, but looking at the Devon galaxy, the force that can match it has yet to show up.

With the temple in the center of the basin as the core, a series of fortifications were built at a speed visible to the naked eye. The STC template sponsored by Luo Xi played its due role and saved a lot of time and energy.

There are always Thunderhawk gunships and Stormbirds patrolling in the sky, keeping vigilant. A large number of drone bees are spread out, searching for the specific situation of the entire planet.

These Luo Xi were already very familiar with the tactics. Whenever they arrived at a battlefield, they would first use these three tricks and spread out the cards in their hands to collect intelligence.

Heavy armored vehicle units poured down from the transport ships, led by the Apocalypse tanks, various Leman Russ tanks and Sikaran tanks, as well as some Chimera troop transports carrying mortal auxiliary troops, whose engines began to roar.

These products of war aesthetics exude a cold metallic luster, and fully armed mortal auxiliary troops will cooperate with them in infantry and tank operations.

If the terrain here was not too narrow and not suitable for the Titans to appear, Guilliman would not mind airdropping the Sun Titan Legion that came with them to the ground.

The priests of the Mechanicus held holy oil and incense, diligently blessing these crystals of the God of All Machines. At the same time, the Crusader troops also arrived at the battlefield. These dangerous guys emitting strong radiation were placed in the farthest area.

The three primarchs of the Second Empire, plus Roche and Conrad Curze, who was temporarily granted parole, stood in front of the broken and cracked square of the Temple of Daven.
