Warhammer: Expedition to the Multiverse from 30k

Horus spoke gently, but the message he conveyed was endless blood and sacrifice.

"I understand, my father." Abaddon's face was full of fanaticism and excitement. He only paid a few insignificant mortals to reap such a reward. Anyway, those mortals were like weeds, and there would be another crop after they were cut.

Horus nodded with satisfaction. Although he knew that Vashtor must have other deeper plans and the conditions he offered were too generous and beyond what he called a fair deal, did it matter?

No matter what intentions and ambitions that Warp Demon had, as long as he could help Horus' great cause, the Wolf God would pretend not to see them.

A Chaos Undivided Warp Demon who does not obey the Four Chaos Gods would never be so honest.

As the saying goes, a traitor may appear loyal. Although the Lord of the Forge appeared to be very easy to deal with and even told them clues about the Blackrock Fortress, this was nothing more than a bait released by Vashtor in order to gain greater benefits.

In fact, there is often no obvious difference between Warp demons and humans. They all have their own selfish interests and plans, and Horus is well aware of this.

"My brother, thank you for your hard work." Horus praised, but the Great Bearer did not show much joy.

Horus's bossing him around made Lorgar have more inappropriate thoughts in his heart.

"I need you to bring Fulgrim back. Our great war has just begun. He cannot leave and indulge himself within the six rings of the Prince of Pleasure's silver palace."

Speaking of the Primarch of the Emperor's Children, Horus' tone darkened. Fulgrim had sacrificed part of Perturabo's essence on the Crone World of the Eldar in exchange for his own ascension. The Wolf God hated Fulgrim's act of backstabbing his brother.

But at the moment they need the power of every rebellious Primarch, Perturabo is one, Fulgrim is one, and Horus must mediate their conflict or postpone it until after the overthrow of the Emperor's rule.

"Don't let me down again, Luojia. I'm waiting for your good news." said the figure on the throne. The warp echoed under his voice, which was the projection of endless surging power.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure from Horus, Lorgar couldn't help but sweat on his back. He couldn't endure it any longer.

"At your command, Warmaster." Lorgar changed his address, seeming to truly submit to his brother completely.

The Great Bearer then turned away, striding from the throne room and the Vengeful Spirit, and boarded the Triumvirate, accompanied by his Blessed Son, to leave Horus' fleet.

"Father, do you really want to find Fulgrim? He has already gone deep into the Prince of Pleasure's chambers. Perhaps the Phoenix will never come back." A blessed son beside Lorgar said in confusion.

The Great Speaker held the Staff of the Enlightener in his hand. He looked back coldly at the huge Spirit of Vengeance with a complicated expression on his face.

"I will seek Fulgrim back, even if it means breaking into the Six Rings of Slaanesh... but it will be for my own sake."

Luo Jia seemed to have made some kind of decision, his tone was grim, and those blessed sons also became excited.

They were fed up with their father being submissive beside the Warmaster. That was not the way the Lord of the Word Bearers behaved. Horus did not know how to respect his brothers. Why should Lorgar be inferior to others?

The four gods can choose Horus or someone else.

Chapter 431 The Storm is Coming (Happy National Day to Everyone)

With the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and the gradual gathering of the Horus Rebellion, the situation in the Beta Garmon Cluster has entered a turbulent confrontation.

The fog of war has obscured our eyes. Although the two sides have not yet officially launched a full-scale battle, they have already begun preparations for war in all dimensions and fields.

Ryan Johnson used the planet Pullman 4 as his forward base. Various war factories and planetary fortresses sprang up here. With this planet as the center of the radiation circle, the expeditionary force will liberate the planets in the surrounding area and build every planet and every star system as a front-line position.

The mortals here, even the local dignitaries and the ancient nobles who have been passed down for thousands of years, have a new identity after Ryan Johnson arrived - wartime mobilized soldiers.

All redundant occupations and identities were eliminated, and under the wartime mobilization system, the only two options left were soldiers and workers.

People either took up the weapons and equipment distributed by the expeditionary force, received complete training, and became a warrior loyal to the Emperor, or became foundry workers and entered the newly built foundry to serve in another way.

The Lion King's order undoubtedly completely shattered the operating system of this world. Even when the rebels were besieging the city, Pullman 4 still maintained a state that was not much different from the previous peacetime.

If there wasn't a strong planetary governor suppressing the people under him, they would have opened the void shield and welcomed Horus' army into the city long ago.

When the Emperor launched the Great Crusade to reclaim the Betagarmon Cluster, the native humans here did not fiercely resist the Empire. After the arrival of the Lord of Mankind's heavenly soldiers, the Betagarmon people wisely offered their loyalty.

However, loyalty without bloodshed cannot stand the test. They can surrender to the Human Empire, so why can't they surrender to Horus' army, which is already at the gates of the city under the banner of liberators?

But this also means that the original political structure of these galaxies has not been completely overturned and rebuilt. The history of many ancient nobles can even be traced back to before the Age of Strife. Some families still have artifacts from the Dark Age of Technology in their hands, which they have never told anyone.

They have experienced too many changes, witnessed the afterglow of humanity's dark technological age, witnessed the tragedy of the age of strife, and witnessed how the Lord of Mankind first established his empire and reshaped humanity again.

These ancient families boast that they can always watch the fire from the other side of the river, relying on their loyalty to ensure that their own interests are not affected.

However, this time, they met Lion Jonson. For the people of Caliban, these complicated political games were the most boring.

His only answer was the Dark Angels' bolters and chainswords, and with extreme cruelty and swiftness the Lion reformed the Imperial-controlled sector of the Beta Garmon Cluster, preparing it for the great war to come.

Sanguinius watched with a little worry as the Lion carried out his orders. Just after the Lion King announced the new orders, some dissatisfied nobles even made crazy moves to assassinate the planetary governors and even the Primarchs.

When those guys whose interests were affected sent disguised fusion bombs to the banquet hall where the planetary governor was entertaining the Primarchs, Lion's beast instinct immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Then in the next moment, when the bomb was about to explode, the Lion King's Chief Butler Coswayn took out a stasis bomb from his power armor. This extremely rare relic-level weapon can release a miniature stasis field, and anything within the range can suspend the flow of time.

The Dark Angels often use stasis bombs to capture valuable targets. For the sake of caution, Coswayn always carries a stasis bomb with him.

And now, the Lion Butler's caution came in handy again. The destructive weapon that was fusing was sealed by the stasis field and stopped on the eve of releasing all its energy.

If the plans of these conspirators succeed, even if Ryan can survive, his Dark Angels may lose some warriors at such a close distance.

And all the mortal officials loyal to the Empire, including the planetary governors, would certainly be blown to ashes.

No one knew what was in the Lion King's mind. He just remained silent. Then Deathwing and Terrorwing began to search the whole city.

The Sandalwood Order conducted memory screenings on all the nobles, and any nobles who showed any suspicious behavior were executed on the spot by the Dark Angels.

The roar of the grenade launchers continued throughout the night, and when the chainsaws began to scream under the power of the burning promethium, even the craziest nobles came to their senses. Compared with the enemies they had encountered before, the Dark Angels were completely different types.

The First Legion never compromises, never retreats, and never lets go of any traitor.

When the high-ranking officials who planned the rebellion and assassination were forced to live in a room broken into by a team led by Coswayne himself, he finally realized that not everyone can practice the art of compromise.

The Dark Angels didn't need his cheap loyalty at all, and the Lion Butler personally chopped off his head to deter those with ulterior motives.

"These hidden borers finally jumped out. We gave them so many opportunities to lure them, and they finally took the bait."

When Corswayn presented the heads of the rebellious officials to the Primarch, Lion simply glanced at them and lost all interest.

It was just a simple trap, but he often exposed it in the forest of Caliban, luring the ferocious beasts to release their wild instincts.

"Humans are actually not much different from wild animals, except that they may be better at disguise and deception," Ryan said.

"After we find out these hidden traitors, we can set off with peace of mind."

According to their strategic plan, the three primarchs would not stay together all the time, which would be a huge waste of resources.

Chagatai Khan will lead a fleet, centered around the White Scars' Sky Eagle, to launch high-speed guerrilla warfare against the rebels.

Chogoris' war eagles are strongest only when their wildness is fully unleashed. Chagatai does not need any strategic planning, he only needs to follow their inner hunting instincts to harass, disperse and weaken the rebels.

Especially with the help of the Sky Eagle, the White Scars Legion's guerrilla warfare is no longer limited to harassment. Even when facing an enemy fleet, the Thundercloud-class planetary battleship is not at all inferior.

If it gets the chance, the Vengeful Spirit can kill you.

To fight the White Scars, their fleets must act together, like sheep on a prairie huddling together for warmth.

Once a flaw is discovered, the Chogoris Eagle will kill the enemy with one strike, and then escape in pursuit.

The white scar will always be watching you, hovering on the edge like a ghost.

Even Ryan would feel extremely troubled and miserable if he thought about facing the spying and harassment of such an enemy army.

As for Lion and Sanguinius, although they will continue to act together, the Caliban will mainly control the movements of space battleships. His calm mind and overall view are more suitable for interstellar combat.

The Archangels would be more inclined to fight close to the ground. The Blood Angels' ability in planetary raids is almost unmatched, not to mention that they are led by the Primarch himself and assisted by the Titan Legions. Lion is very confident in this.

The huge Beta Garmon star cluster is shrouded in low pressure with an approaching storm.

Happy National Day to everyone

Chapter 432 The Birth of the Iron Legion

Unlike the impending storm in the Beta Garmon Cluster, the solar system can now be said to be temporarily safe.

On the one hand, the expedition fleet led by Ryan swept and wiped out all the rebel forces and interstellar pirates in the star system leading to Beta Garmon in the solar system, suddenly eliminating these enemies who had been harassing the solar system's defense line.

On the other hand, part of the reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds were allocated to Rogal Dorn's Sun Fleet. Steward Terra had much more power in his hands, and he had enough energy to deploy a defense system.

The solar system, which has become the rear, is now continuously producing military supplies, including weapons and ammunition, power armor, heavy vehicles, etc. for Space Marines.

Similar to what happened in Macragge, Roxi is also working hard to replace the Sun Auxiliary Army with better equipment.

Under the control of artificial intelligence and stone men, the foundry on Ganymede has exploded with the theoretical production capacity.

Even the group of mechanics who have joined the advanced technology community did not expect how terrifying the productivity released by artificial intelligence would be, completely free from the low efficiency of humans.

Artificial intelligence does not get tired, rarely makes rational mistakes, has almost infinite multi-threaded thinking, and can perform calculations on thousands of complex events simultaneously.

The long and complex assembly lines in giant factories, as long as materials and energy are continuously input at one end, can produce finished weapons and equipment and construction machinery at the other end.

Ganymede's transportation port is always full, and transport ships from all over the world can always load up with cargo and return to the designated location.

In the asteroid belt between Wood and Fire, the Helios planetary dock is already able to produce small ships including battleships, and the time to manufacture a battleship has been shortened to months.

This is the case when the dock is still under construction. When it is completed, it will be able to normally manufacture void battleships of the same level as the Queen of Glory-class battleships, or the larger Thundercloud-class planetary battleships.

Naturally, Luo Xi would not waste his precious time on these repetitive tasks. He handed over the research related to mind control towers and thought stamps to Sage Akan Rand.

If Cawl successfully brings back the original mother from the moon, the research work on strengthening the Space Marines will also be handed over to his research team.

"I will never again do everything by myself like I did before. That is too stupid and too inefficient."

Luo Xi thought with lingering fear that partnering with Guilliman was not a pleasant experience at all. The other party always found various excuses to squeeze more things into his already full schedule.

"That kind of life is simply the life of a slave. It's ok that Guilliman himself doesn't want to live a normal life, but he also drags others to do it."

Now that he had the Advanced Technology Community, Luo Xi finally had enough free labor at his disposal.

As long as they were rewarded with some contribution points, those mechanical priests would work madly. They would even thank Roche for providing them with the opportunity and conditions to carry out such meaningful research work.

In addition to the first batch of mechanical priests who joined the advanced technology community, there are many more mechanical men who have not participated before but have heard about the experiences of their colleagues. They are rushing in from all over, eager to join in and get a piece of the pie.

Luo Xi's life also became better. He had thousands of senior researchers under him who could act under his orders. If he needed to do something, he just had to give a call and someone would naturally help him get it done.

And now, Luo Xi is doing something that makes him feel meaningful.

Since opening up the forge world of Ganymede and establishing a high-tech community, he has experimentally produced a group of stone men and iron men to test their abilities and limits.

Production-type iron men have proven their efficiency, and the manufacture of war-type iron men has also been put on the agenda.

Although there are STCs for certain types of iron men in Luo Xi's database, building an army of iron men has never been something that can be taken for granted.

The iron men in these databases are war weapons designed by humans in the Golden Age against the enemies that threatened them at the time. They are more adapted to the environment and wars of the time, and the destructive power they can cause far exceeds the imagination of humans today.
