These seven heavy fortresses and the Ultramarines on them formed a steel dam, preventing the army of the fallen Primarch Mortarion from advancing.

Before the army of Slaanesh entered the battlefield, Calgar had been strictly following Guilliman's orders, consuming Mortarion's army at a casualty ratio of 1 to 100.

In the absence of the zombies and demons transformed from mortal ground units as cannon fodder, all the damage caused by Calgar to Mortarion was real damage.

However, with the addition of Slaanesh's army, the Nurgle army, which was originally bulky and powerful but slow and could only serve as a target, made up for its shortcomings.

The swift Secret Keepers and Pleasure Seekers of the Slaanesh Army use their elegant figures and depraved tactics to seduce the defenders of the seven starships.

Although most Ultramarines are steadfast in their faith in the Emperor, many have fallen under the spell of Slaanesh.

Nurgle's army took advantage of the opportunity and quickly followed suit.

Among the seven connected starships, in a very short period of time, four starships were forced to switch from space battles to hand-to-hand combat on the starships.

Countless Nurgle armies also found room to maneuver, and vicious plagues and twisted corruption began to proliferate on the surface of the starship.

Calgar launched dozens of counterattacks for this purpose, but he could only delay the erosion process of the Nurgle army and was unable to drive the large number of Nurgle troops out of the starship defense zone.

Even he himself was ambushed by the Slaanesh champion Lucius and was sent to the planet Aix for treatment while seriously injured.

"For the Emperor!"

Calgar, who had fallen into a coma, thought he was still on the battlefield, and subconsciously raised his power arm to shoot.

Boom!

A powerful force suppressed Calgar's arm.

Oops!

Calgar was anxious and tried to break free.

"Avia!" He heard an anxious voice in the blur.

Then Calgar couldn't feel his limbs anymore.

"Not only does he have Nurgle's plague curse in his body, but he also has another kind of chaotic power, which confuses the senses and makes people hallucinate."

Aivia said as she looked at Calga, whose limbs had been removed and placed in a petri dish, but whose face was still full of pain.

Because of Calgar's status and importance, he was treated by Xilai personally.

"What should we do then? Hasn't the power of Chaos been eliminated?"

Xi was a little confused.

"Even though the chaotic forces have been eliminated, the mental trauma will not disappear. Having nightmares doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with the body or soul."

Aiweiya explained helplessly.

Simply put, before being sent here, Calgar had experienced too harsh a battle, and the influence of Slaanesh's power made him immersed in the illusion of battle and unable to extricate himself.

The Ultramarines' special body structure of two hearts and three lungs, coupled with his own strong will, makes drug treatment ineffective for him.

"Don't look at me. Ordinary hallucination attacks are ineffective against me. Even those who can use illusions strong enough to affect me won't use them on me. If I passively fall into an illusion, it will be a world-destroying disaster, so I won't cure this situation."

Aiweiya spread her hands and spoke.

"What should we do then?" Xi asked anxiously.

"Restart?" Ivia tentatively proposed that while preserving Calgar's soul, Ivia would create a new body for him.

Of course, this operation will have some minor side effects. After being cleansed from body to mind, the Ultramarines' loyalty to the Emperor may not be as strong.

Now on the planet X, there are dozens of Ultramarines who have lost their worship of the Emperor.

If we get rid of this chapter leader as well, things will become very troublesome later on.

"Go find some battle reports and read them to him and see if it has any effect."

Ivya proposed a solution.

"Master Guilliman has arrived at Galatan Fortress. The Grey Knights are ready."

"xxx.x05, the fourth fortress has been recaptured."

"xxx.l17, the Fifth Fortress has been recaptured, and the Grey Knights Legion has been disbanded."

"xxx.l69, the Sixth Fortress has been recaptured, and the Sisters of Silence Chapter has been disbanded."

"xxx.z82, the Sixth Fortress was captured by the Nurgle army."

"xxx.n95, the Sixth Fortress has been recaptured."

.........

"xxx.xm, the Seventh Fortress has been recaptured, the Seven Star Ship defense line has been restored, and the hero Callidorm has been appointed as the temporary commander to command the defense of the Seven Star Ship line."

……

Callidorm has a steady character and can handle big responsibilities, so Lord Guilliman has no problem with his choice.

Calgar thought subconsciously.

As logic was restored, Calgar's memories of being ambushed by the Slaanesh champion Lucius, being rescued by his subordinates at the risk of their lives, and finally being sent for treatment were also read smoothly by Calgar.

The Empire is at war and needs my help!

Calgar regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

The bright shadowless light made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

The sharp pain in his limbs almost made him think he was being attacked, but this time, Calgar regained his composure and did not act impulsively. Instead, he asked:

"How long will it take for me to fully recover?"

Xi, who had just taken Calga out of the petri dish, took a look at the speed at which Calga's limbs were being stitched together and replied:

"In three hours, you will be among the recovered people, and under the inspection of the Ecclesiarchy priests, you will return to Guilliman's command and await assignment. You can stay if you wish."

"The Empire will appreciate your efforts." As Guilliman's confidant, Calgar knew what was on the planet Aix, so he ignored the disrespect in Xi's words.

Just a light expression of gratitude.

Seeing that Calgar had recovered, Xi handed the remaining work to others, and she and Avia went to check the batch of Extreme Warriors that had been repaired within the hour.

On the conveyor belt, one extreme warrior after another was treated like an object in order to maintain their physical strength and condition.

After healing their physical injuries and illnesses, Ivia also asked the newly joined refugees who knew nothing to hold spray guns and be responsible for painting these extreme warriors.

In this way, the Ultramarines who were packed into the container and sent back to the battlefield looked like brand new.

It was Ivia's move that allowed Xi to estimate the battle situation of the Imperial Army from the new batch of wounded soldiers sent in.

Soon, the Chaos army also discovered these new Ultramarines on the battlefield.

Ivia didn't care. What Xi didn't know was that many of the Extreme Warriors had a lot of health problems before the war started because of logistics and experiencing too many wars.

If the Empire were responsible for healing them, they could only barely repair these injured Ultramarines to a point where they were barely usable.

Xi used the Primarch Guilliman as a standard to repair all the wounded. Even Calgar's mechanical eyes were removed by Xi, and with the help of Avia's power, his eyes were replaced with his original ones.

In this way, all the new Ultramarines who appear are veterans with combat experience but without combat illnesses.

This seemingly insignificant enhancement plays an increasingly important role in the ongoing legion combat.

The Chaos army dies when one of them dies, but occasionally there are superior beings who can be reborn in the Garden of Nurgle.

As long as the soldiers of the Empire are not dead, they can be sent to the planet Aix, which has now formed an assembly line, and be reborn after some operations.

When Nurgle's army attacked near Aix, the defense line was shaky. After the Slaanesh army entered the battlefield, the Empire's defense was still shaky and seemed to be on the verge of collapse at the next moment, but it continued to hold on.

As a last resort, the leaders under Nurgle and Slaanesh began to try to use strategies.

Guilliman led his reserve forces to attack everywhere, using the powerful force of the Primarch to plug the gaps in the Empire's defense line, and his actions were observed by the Chaos side.

The fallen Primarch Mortarion immediately decided to concentrate his forces to attack a weak point in the defense, luring Guilliman there and killing him.

This decision was immediately rejected by the other Chaos generals.

Because the war has reached this point, it is no longer a level that allows for easy evacuation.

Once they divide their forces to Mortarion, their own strength will be weakened, and the wolf-like and tiger-like Ultramarines will follow closely to bite them.

This means that in order to implement this strategy, a certain part of the main force must be sacrificed, and the Chaos forces fighting each other are unwilling to bear this loss.

At this critical moment, the Great Unclean One Ku'gath stepped forward and was willing to assign his subordinates to Mortarion to carry out his strategy of single-point breakthrough and then luring and killing Guilliman.

But the condition is that he needs the corpse of a Primarch to create a fierce plague.

If Mortarion fails to prevail and achieve his goal, the Great Unclean One Ku'gath will use the corrupted Primarch Mortarion himself as research material.

In Mortarion's opinion, winning at any cost was not difficult, but capturing Guilliman was not an easy task.

Mortarion hesitated for a moment.

Finally, Lucius, the champion of Slaanesh, spoke on behalf of Mortarion. This chosen one of Slaanesh possessed a very strange ability. With the blessing of the Warp, Lucius could occupy the body of the opponent who killed him and be reborn.

Lucius promised the Great Unclean One Cho'gath that if Mortarion failed, Lucius would journey into the Warp and allow himself to die at the hands of another Primarch, Angron, and bring Angron to him for his use.

A preliminary agreement on Chaos March has been reached.

Mortarion did not delay and left the Great Unclean One Ku'gath, who had only brought a small part of the army to confuse the enemy, in front of the Seven Star Ship defense line.

He himself mixed his elite troops with the elite troops of the Great Unclean One Kugath, gave up fighting, and headed straight for the medical planet Aix, the center of this battle.

This is actually a very dangerous behavior because Aix is ​​in the center of the battlefield.

If only the flanks of the battlefield are attacked, the imperial forces in other areas will need to cross the battlefield to provide support.

If they attacked the central area of ​​Aix, they would likely be surrounded by the Imperial Army from all directions.

However, Mortarion, who had gained new military strength, was determined this time to break through at all costs. He took advantage of the other side's unknown information about his own military strength and sent Guilliman's reserve troops to him.

If the other side abandons its defense, Mortarion will occupy the planet Aix, use the characteristics of the Nurgle army, and rely on the surface environment of the planet Aix to resist the encirclement of the Imperial Army.

At the same time, the Chaos Party can also form a larger encirclement on the outer layer.

Destroying the planet Aix was Mortarion's strategic goal.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and Mortarion took the opportunity of changing the front to quickly head for the planet Aix.

This sudden situation was beyond Guilliman's expectations, because the planet of Ex was an obvious trap, and he never thought that anyone would step into it.

Guilliman had to activate the wide-area communication device to contact Mortarion's fleet in an attempt to dissuade him:

"My fallen brother Mortarion, if I were you, I would never go to Aix to die."
