Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

This is a decisive force and the dawn that the loyalists have been longing for.

As soon as Guilliman arrives on the battlefield, all will be well, and the balance of war will be completely tilted towards the loyalists.

Before setting off, Rogal Dorn even warned his brothers that Betagarmon must hold, but that their actions should not be driven by a personal desire for revenge against the traitor primarchs.

They must restrain themselves and must not make any unwise actions against Horus, because any mistake will be fatal in front of the wolf-god. Horus and his Sixteenth Legion are best at seizing fleeting opportunities and ending the war directly with unparalleled decapitation tactics.

"We have to give the traitors a big blow before we attract their attention and kill them in the Beta Garmon Cluster."

"I will give Horus a welcome gift, the demise of a Titan Legion."

"At present, the enemy is still unaware of our arrival. We are invisible in the chess game of war."

Ryan quickly enlarged the holographic projection in front of him, and the other two Primarchs could also clearly see the location marked by the Lion King.

It is a planet on the edge of the Beta Garmon cluster, Pullman 4.

It was within easy reach of the expeditionary fleet, and an astropathic call for help from the local defenders indicated that a rebel force of the Emperor's Children Legion was besieging the planet.

The Governor of Planet Pullman 4 led the local people in a heroic defense, doing their best to hold out from the siege of the Emperor's Children traitors.

"A company of the Iron Hands Legion has responded to their call for assistance, and they have also brought the Mechanicus's Standing Titan Legion to fight against the Traitor's Tiger Eye Titan Legion."

Obviously, compared to other targets of lesser value, a second-level Traitor Titan Legion is a lucrative prey that cannot be lost.

The Lion King wants to hunt down the Tiger Eye Titan Legion that betrayed the Emperor and announce the coming of judgment to the traitors.

"I agree. Completely annihilating a Titan legion will be a huge loss even for the rebels," Sanguinius agreed.

Titan machines are always the protagonists on the ground battlefield. Perhaps these divine machines are not enough to fight against enemies in space, but on the battlefield, this is a problem that needs to be considered only after one side has gained absolute air superiority.

For Titans, the real threat is other Titans.

"The White Scars are ready for the void sea battle, and the Sky Eagles are thirsty." Chagatai Khan wiped his White Tiger Blade and responded to Ryan's plan.

He looked at the Tengu mechas standing on the battleship deck, revealing his clean and neat teeth.

The Chogorians couldn't wait to ride these violent and fast beasts to chop off the heads of their enemies.

After getting the support of his two primarch brothers, Ryan finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Let's get off to a good start. The Standing Ones may not be able to defeat the Tiger Eye Legion. They are the pride of the Forge World of Karadion and a very powerful Titan Legion."

There was a cruel look on the lion's mouth. To him, a strong enemy was not a bad thing.

The more powerful the Tiger Eye Titan Legion is, the greater the blow to the rebels will be if they lose it.

The Empire's expeditionary fleet was speeding along a stable subspace route towards the planet Pullman 4. They concealed their tracks and quietly entered the edge of the galaxy from the location of Mandeville Point.

The flames of war in the Beta-Garmon Cluster had never ceased since Istvaan's betrayal, and during this period they had experienced a galactic-scale destructive storm created by the Word Bearers, cutting off contact with the outside world.

Under the fierce attack of the rebels, the situation inside the star cluster has tilted towards the rebels.

The favorable situation blinded their eyes, and even this rebel force was so busy besieging the planet Pullman 4 that they relaxed the defense of Mandeville Point.

Most of the loyal forces of the Betagarmon Cluster were no longer able to launch an attack, and the local lords who surrendered to the Warmaster began to cause chaos behind the loyalists.

The powerful electromagnetic pulse bomb released by the New Caliban instantly destroyed several early warning ships near Mandeville Point, but under the influence of the powerful electromagnetic pulse, their battleships' Thinker systems were instantly burned out, making it completely impossible to warn the rebels inside the galaxy.

In front of the hundreds of kilometers long New Caliban, these early warning warships were as small as sampans in the void. The surviving traitors looked at their paralyzed warships in despair, and under the opponent's gravitational attraction, they uncontrollably crashed into the activated void shield.

"Warmaster, the Empire is coming!" the mortal captain of the enemy ship shouted in horror.

The enemy warship that lost power collided and tore into the void shield of the New Caliban. The former was like flesh and blood being sucked into a meat grinder, being completely chewed and crushed bit by bit. In the end, only a ball of explosion and fire flashed in the darkness.

Hundreds of thousands of enemies didn't even put up an effective resistance; their mortal slaves, under the frenzied whipping of their overseers, tried their best to load the macro cannons, but it was too late.

Under the obstruction of the Thundercloud-class planetary battleship, the flames produced by the explosion were unable to even penetrate the hull, using its own destruction to warn the Emperor's Children battleships in the galaxy.

The three Primarch flagships began to disperse. They were divided into three battle groups, forming a three-dimensional formation similar to a spire, and headed towards the planets inside the star system.

Chapter 417: Son of the Emperor

In the low-Earth orbit of the planet Pullman 4, a battleship named Sword of Phoenicia was docked inside the orbit, followed by a dozen large and small cruisers, which continuously delivered power to the surface of the planet.

The planet's orbital defense system had become extremely devastated after years of war, and the garrison was completely wiped out by this rebel force of the Emperor's Children.

Countless space junk and debris drift at the critical point of gravity. These hard wastes cannot be rubbed away by the atmosphere, forming a shining circle like a star ring.

From time to time, pieces of space junk that were knocked off their orbits would fall into the planet's atmosphere, or miraculously hit the armor of a hovering rebel warship, creating a tiny gap in the hard ceramic steel and plastic steel, as if the heroic spirits of those soldiers were still attacking the rebels after their death.

On the bridge of the Sword of the Phoenician, a commander of the Emperor's Children, wearing Mark IV Extreme Power Armour decorated with gorgeous and complex patterns, stood at his command position.

His ornate decoration is the unique aesthetic style of the Emperor's Children Legion. This Emperor's Children Legion's Praetor, Flavius ​​Irkenax, was ordered by the Warmaster to capture the planet and eradicate those stubborn loyalists.

Compared with the Imperial army, Horus's rebels lacked a stable supply of supplies. Although the Dark Mechanicus led by Kyber Hal had fallen into Chaos, they continuously provided support to the Warmaster's army. However, due to the influence of space and time distance, the rebels' supplies were difficult to transport to the designated location within the specified time.

To this end, these rebels had to continuously plunder the worlds belonging to the Empire within the Beta-Galmon Cluster. Whether it was the supplies, population, or energy on the planets, the rebels were in desperate need of them.

Since the great purge within the Legion at Isstvan III, Elkenax had been highly valued by the Primarch. He was promoted to captain by Fulgrim himself and joined the Phoenix Guard.

Among the many rebellious legions, the Emperor's Children was perhaps the legion with the highest proportion of loyalists. At that time, nearly one-third of the Astartes were unwilling to follow the Primarch's footsteps. In order to clean up this part of the diehards, Fulgrim lost nearly one-fifth of his warriors.

The Emperor's Children Legion, which was already relatively small in number, was even more short of manpower. It was precisely because of this that many positions in the command hierarchy within the legion were vacant, giving people like Elkenax the opportunity to rise.

As his power and status within the Legion grew, Elkenax joined Chief Archon Eidolon's Phoenix Conclave and became his trusted subordinate.

"Eidolon was summoned by the Lord of Pleasure, and then he disappeared without a trace. I think he is probably dead, maybe in some remote corner of the galaxy, and no one knows."

The commander of the Emperor's Children said calmly, showing no sign of mourning for his superior.

For the Third Legion today, the so-called brotherhood has been completely shattered. Except for a small number of Astartes who still retain their sanity, the others have followed the footsteps of the Primarch and completely fallen into the embrace of the Warp.

But Elkenax is different from them. He is not obsessed with crazy pleasure and indulgence. This son of the Emperor is determined to follow in the footsteps of the Warmaster and completely destroy the hypocritical empire.

"The Primarch and the Iron Lord traveled to the Crone World of Illyris, and there, he seized his brother's power and became the Daemon Prince of Slaanesh."

"The Legion also fell further along with its primarch."

After ascending to the level of a demon, Fulgrim was transformed into a terrifying figure with a human body and a snake tail. Elkenax saw in the Primarch the alien race that they had destroyed in the past: the prickly shadow.

He remained loyal to his Primarch, but no longer revered his Gene-Father. In his eyes, Fulgrim had strayed from the path of perfection and was no longer the proud Phoenix Lord he once was.

The loyalists of Pullman IV have repeatedly retreated to the great Hive Worlds, relying on the ancient void shields of the old ruins to block the deadly bombardment from orbit.

Of course, Elkenax did not want to carry out orbital bombardment. His purpose in coming here was to plunder the local population in order to replenish the increasing consumption of mortal slaves.

Even after entering the Warp, their warships and legions still rely on mortals to operate. Except for the Word Bearers who seem to be using Warp demons to operate their warships, other legions still need the Dark Mechanicus and mortal slaves to maintain operations.

In the severely corrupted warships of the Warp, under the covetousness of hungry Chaos Daemons, mortals naturally cannot expect to have a long lifespan. Even for those who are relatively lucky, their lifespan is only measured in days.

What's more, this was on a warship of the Emperor's Children who believed in the Lord of Pleasure. Elkanax knew very well what his "brothers" would do to mortals.

In fact, the complete human skin decorations on the walls of his Phoenician Sword and the noise warriors who used human bones as flutes are vivid examples.

Sadism, massacres and tortures that are unimaginable to the Imperials have all been tried one by one in the imagination of the followers of Slaanesh. Even some Astartes of the Emperor's Children are not satisfied with slaughtering mortals, but do these horrific things to their battle-brothers.

As a minority in the legion today, Elkenax does not like these fighting brothers who have completely deviated from the path of perfection and are like a pile of scattered sand, but they are indeed a force that cannot be ignored.

"Eidolon is dead, maybe I can climb higher."

"Perhaps I can reunite the Emperor's Children Legion once again."

This Emperor's Child even still bore upon his left shoulder and breastplate the insignia of the Hour of the Oath, as well as other pure slips of paper bearing the oaths of duty which were the custom of the old Third Legion.

There was still a double-headed eagle on his chest armor, and molecular bolt devices made by many legion craftsmen were installed on his greaves and knees, but on his left knee, a piece of golden armor with a laurel pattern replaced the molecular bolt.

"Sir, the commander of the Tiger Eye Legion told you that they have successfully landed on the surface of the planet and can't wait to crush the Titans of the Standing Legion."

Next to Elkennax, a female captain who had connected a large number of neural cables to her cerebral cortex in order to better control the battleship reported.

Data from the surface of the planet scrolled on the holographic projection in front of her eyes, and she was staring at this pure ocean of data.

In the holographic projection, all the green spots of light belonging to the Empire huddled together. They relied on the void shield of the giant hive to defend themselves, while those slightly smaller green spots meant that they were the opponent's Titan machines.

The larger number of Tiger Eye Legion Titans are spreading a large net, encircling their prey, which has no way to retreat. The Emperor's Sons' Astartes and mortal auxiliaries are supporting them. Some creations called Demon Engines have also descended to the surface of the planet.

Elkenax's clear mind realized the serious imbalance in strength between the two sides. This was good. As long as they had a little more time, they would be able to take over the planet.

What he needed was the efficiency and speed of the Emperor's Children Legion of the past, not a group of crazy drug addicts indulging in massacres on the surface of the planet.

The Tiger Eye Titan Legion is leading the way. These Titan machines with violent offensive power are also known as the Fanatic Legion. Many of their legion members have arcane shamanic beliefs.

The Tiger Eye Titan Legion is known for its fanatical attacks. They despise "standing still tactics" and highly advocate high-speed maneuvers, close-range face-to-face firefights and close combat.

The Emperor's Children watched with satisfaction as their Titan machine was advancing rapidly and was about to approach the defense lines of the defenders loyal to the false emperor.

"Once we capture this planet, I will ask the Warmaster for greater power." Ambition shone in Elkenax's eyes. He didn't even realize that the Warp had already quietly corroded his mind.

"The Legion needs a new leader after the Primarch's disappearance, so why not me?"

Chapter 418 Titan vs Titan (Request for Subscription)

Pullman 4 is a severely desertified planet. Due to its long history of colonization, the natural environment here has been destroyed by humans for thousands of years. The most vast geographical environment on this planet is the desert.

The gray sky was filled with lethal amounts of dust, and occasionally, space debris from low-Earth orbit fell into the atmosphere, emitting faintly visible flames.

Everything was silent, save for the violent roar of the sandstorm. The terrifying storm in the desert could even pick up heavy vehicles and crush them like a meat grinder.

However, in the midst of this horrific natural disaster, there was suddenly a dull and huge sound of pounding footsteps.

It was as if the earth was roaring. The vibrations on the surface were getting stronger and stronger. The mountain rock strata that had been eroded by sandstorms for thousands of years were constantly shaking and collapsing under these abnormal vibrations.

A huge black shadow appeared in the sandstorm. It completely ignored the impact of the bad weather and appeared on the outskirts of the giant nest fortress with steps that could tear the earth apart.

A Nemesis-class Titan named Warbringer appeared in the desert. Its size was between that of a Warlord-class Titan and a Plunderer Titan. The most striking feature was the huge earthquake cannon behind it. This terrifying weapon could effectively destroy other divine machines.

This unique artillery weapon is equipped with a revolver loader, as well as an observer and a loader. In addition, the Warbringer Titan is also equipped with two shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft artillery arrays and arm-mounted laser blasters and volcano cannons.

The dark yellow paint of the Tiger Eye Titan Legion makes it blend in perfectly with the yellow sandy environment. These divine machines that have betrayed the Empire, their hungry and warlike machine spirits are roaring, urging the captain and the crew members to attack.

What is slightly different from the past is that these ferocious and violent Titan machines have brass spikes growing on their joints and horns, and a strong bloody smell surges from every corner of the machine, almost suffocating people.

The pilot of the Titan was immersed in a fluorescent green transparent solution. His limb muscles had severely atrophied, leaving only a layer of dry skin and internal bones.

By connecting to the soul of the Titan machine through the MIU system, the driver can use his own consciousness to fight against the violent and brutal machine. Controlling a Titan is a very mentally and physically demanding task, and controlling a Titan corrupted by the subspace is even more so.

The pilot's mouth, soaked in liquid, kept muttering to himself, as if he was praying and blessing the God of Machines he believed in in binary language, but the only response he got was the evil whispers from the subspace.

His body is shrinking further, which is not normal. Even a normal driver of a Titan would not have his flesh and blood decay so quickly. But under the influence of the power of chaos, this creation of the God of All Machines seems to be absorbing the soul and flesh of mankind.
