A life of ups and downs, but in Warhammer 40K

Unfortunately, Abaddon's fleet size was limited, and that was the limit.

"The Great Four Gods..."

So almost immediately, a massive psionic lightning bolt tore through the starry sky and slammed directly into the protective shield that covered the entire planet below.

Click...click!

In that instant, the protective shield shattered. The several Chaos Wizards who unleashed the attack were instantly stripped of all their flesh and blood, reduced to withered bones. The hundred million people were instantly reduced to ashes; not even their souls remained, they were all turned to dye.

Abaddon's eye twitched slightly upon seeing this; the simplest form of warp sacrifice was to summon a demon army.

However, if you want to do something big, like pulling a planet into the warp, that becomes extremely complex, and even among chaos wizards, very few are proficient in this.

Moreover, that level of subspace magic requires not only a human soul, but also the right timing, location, the cooperation of the subspace evil god, and all sorts of complex conditions.

If Ahriman had wholeheartedly helped Abaddon, he might have been able to unleash the kind of magic that could potentially destroy Macragge. But now it's clear that directly shattering Macragge's planetary shield would have severely depleted his wizardry.

"Everyone is preparing to occupy an area, and then offer sacrifices to the gods of the warp."

Abaddon took a deep breath. Normally, sacrifices involved offering one's soul to the warp gods. This was beneficial to the warp gods, so it was very simple.

However, unleashing an attack of this caliber is simply using souls as fuel, unless it involves some major strategic objective. The warp gods would not cooperate with them at all. Although Abaddon's goal is to kill Guilliman, it doesn't matter much to the warp gods.

Khorne is preparing for the Blood Crusade and the Battle of Lionsgate to open the Emperor's eyes, while Nurgle has already begun preparing his Plan of the Scourge. As for Tzeentch, no one knows what he's doing, not even Tzeentch himself.

As for Slaanesh, well, let's not have any expectations of those guys.

In this situation, Abaddon can only use the simplest method: first, use as much warp magic as possible to shatter the barrier.

.........

At the same time, on the ground, Calga's expression also changed drastically.

Beep beep beep........

A series of alarms blared frantically, and Calga's face turned extremely pale.

Because in that very instant, their greatest trump card, the planetary defense barrier, was shattered by warp magic.

What's even more terrifying is that the Black Legion at this time numbered at least tens of thousands, while the Ultramarines they left here numbered less than three thousand at most.

After all, even their Ultra Warriors' own battle group has several companies on missions outside, and they don't have all their main forces gathered here.

The current situation is that they are internally vulnerable. Now, facing the main force of the Black Legion, even Karga felt a pang in his heart.

"Everyone, build fortifications around Hera Keep. Under no circumstances should the Primarch be harmed. Prepare for the worst and abandon Macragge. Under no circumstances should the Primarch be harmed. You go and prepare to relocate the Primarch."

At that moment, Calga also took a deep breath. As a veteran of many battles, he knew all too well what this meant.

It's only a matter of time before Macragge falls, even though it's the Ultramarines' stronghold. But even if Macragge is destroyed, the Primarch must not be harmed.

As for the rest, he planned to live and die with the entire Macurag. As for other places outside Hera Fortress, Karga could no longer care about them.

All he needed to do was stall, drag it out until reinforcements arrived.

It's impossible for them to charge out directly and engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Black Legion and Abaddon; none of them are a match for Abaddon.

Moreover, they are even more terrifying than Abaddon's massive Chaos Astartes. Since the Primal Forging has not yet been widely adopted, their power is not yet sufficient.

So the instant Calgary gave the order, countless airdrop pods rained down from the sky.

However, Calga was also taken aback when he saw these airdrop containers.

"They chose a remote location. What are they planning to do?"

At that moment, Calgar looked at his data panel with a strange expression, because Abaddon had chosen relatively remote locations.

"Immediately move all civilians into the shelters and do not allow them to come out under any circumstances. Set up your positions immediately and send out Star Language messages to contact all the sub-units you can reach."

Calgar's expression was also serious. Now that Abaddon had given him time, he had to prepare for the worst; the other party's target was definitely Guilliman.

Therefore, it can be anticipated that the enemy's next target will be Hera Fortress, and the people in other places still have a chance to survive.

Such a contingency plan would be impossible anywhere else, but this is the rich city of Makurag, the jewel of the five hundred worlds of Ottara.

Coupled with the betrayal during the Battle of Koss, the Ultramarines had made every effort to prepare. Although their planetary barrier had been destroyed, many defensive fortifications remained.

..........

"There is indeed no real defense here, it's just that it's quite far from Hera Fortress."

At this moment, Abaddon was also frowning as he looked at the current map, especially the area near Hera Fortress, the home of the Ultramarines.

There will definitely be a large amount of Ultramarines' power involved, in the original timeline. They were chasing after Caul and, due to the urgency, went all in. Plus, it's very likely that the Emperor also gave them a push.

After all, when Calgar heard that the Eldar's method of resurrecting Guilliman was to kill him first and then use the power of the Eldar's Death God to resurrect him, he almost detained them all.

But this time it's different; Abaddon has no need to rush. And sending his Chaos Astartes to clash head-on with the armored legions of Altramar would be utterly foolish—a case in point is illustrated by the battle of Peturabo in Taran.

Abaddon wasn't stupid; he needed a large army to support him.

"Since the Ultra Warriors aren't in a hurry, then we don't need to be either. Bring everyone over; now we need the power of the Four Gods."

Just then, Abaddon looked at the wizard beside him, even though he also wanted to just blow up Macurag.

But as the saying goes, besides the Empire, who else issues extermination orders every day, especially these Chaos factions? They're lucky to have a stable supply of ammunition, and each planet is extremely valuable to them, so they simply don't carry weapons of extermination order caliber.

In that case, we can only take it one step at a time.

So at this time, Abaddon also began to have his Iron Warriors build up positions. He needed to perform a sacrifice and then send a large number of Chaos Demons to be their cannon fodder.

..........

Meanwhile, on the other side, somewhere in the world of Alteramar 500.

"What has happened in these past ten thousand years? Why has the empire become like this? My brothers are all gone, even that ambitious Guilliman..."

At this moment, the Lion King sat on the steps with a dejected look on his face, while Ryan Aljonson looked utterly hopeless.

Then, after looking at the statue before him and then at Astartes, who was clad in white bone armor and wielding a giant scythe, the Lion King paused for a moment and asked:

"Are you really Guilliman's sons?"

At this moment, the Lion King looked at the Astartes beside him with a constipated expression. This guy was covered in all sorts of strange bone decorations.

Based on its size, it should be from the Astartes.

"The great First Primarch, Lane Eljonsson, our Ascetic Chapter existed since the Second Founding. Our chapter's history comes directly from our great Primarch, Guilliman, and here lies our chapter's complete history. It's just a pity that our original home was destroyed by the Tyranid Swarm, and now we can only serve as a ship-based chapter in the Altramar sector to replenish our forces."

Upon hearing the Lion King's words, Lord Magyar, the leader of the Ascetic Chapter, spoke with pride. Then, as if remembering something, he handed a shrine to the constipated Lion King.

“We strictly adhere to the Codex Astartes. Yes, this is the Codex Astartes. Today, all the Astartes of the Empire, including your Dark Angels, abide by this Codex. It is a great masterpiece of our Primarchs.”

"what?"

Ryan was stunned for a moment after hearing Mazar's words, then took it, and his face quickly contorted.

Because he may have reached the most important point above, which is... to divide the legion into battle groups, with each battle group having no more than a thousand people.

The lion king's face darkened instantly, and more importantly, his own people knew about his own affairs.

Because they, the Dark Angels, possess a special arsenal granted by the Emperor, containing the Icarus Protocol, capable of destroying the Mechanicus.

To maintain an arsenal of this caliber, one must have sufficient manpower; otherwise, it would be difficult to break it down into battle groups of a thousand men.

Thinking of this, the Lion King's eyes darkened. Even if the entire battle group consisted of technical soldiers, it might not be enough.

Moreover, as the prototype of the Astartes Legion, they possess a wealth of technology and heritage. The mere thought of dismantling the Dark Angels sends chills down Ryan's spine.

Then...

"Guilliman, give me back my Legion!!!"

In that instant, Ryan let out a sharp, explosive sound; he now wished he could tear this ambitious Guilliman apart with his bare hands.

"Something terrible has happened! Macragge has been invaded by the main force of the Black Legion."

Just then, an ascetic named Astartes rushed over, disregarding all etiquette.

"Take me to see that Guilliman!!!"

Just then, the Lion King roared, and upon hearing this, the leader of the ascetic's battle group dared not delay.

"How long will it take us to send everyone back to defend Macurag?"

"About a day or so."

"Great, speed it up!!!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Ascetic Warband roared, as they were already replenishing their forces in Alterama.

Nowadays, short-distance subspace travel within a star sector is relatively stable, and one or two days is usually enough to get there.

Abaddon's target is definitely their Primarch Guilliman, so he has to get there even if it means the annihilation of his entire army.

"Guilliman, please don't die."

Watching the warship begin to start, Lion King also took a deep breath.

Although he wanted nothing more than to tear Guilliman apart, the Lion King knew that Guilliman was his only brother and he wouldn't let anything happen to him.

...........

Meanwhile, inside the network.

"We seem to have encountered some unexpected trouble and discovered a Dark Eldar raiding ship."

Chapter 87 EK's Chosen Titan

"........"

As the news spread, a group of people immediately looked at the group of black bean sprouts in the Death Army.

As for Su Can, he didn't have any particular thoughts, because the only correct way to deal with the Slaanesh faction was.....

Just get straight to the point. Don't try to understand their motives, because you can't comprehend these lunatics. As for the Death Army and Black Sprouts, it's basically a fight to the death, while Evelynn is still there, a gladiator.

"What's going on? A conspiracy group dared to rob us. Hmm, that's the Deathwatch's killing squad; they've already spotted us."

Su Can was slightly surprised at this moment. It was obvious that these superheroes had done something terrible in the Comoros again.

“They’ve targeted us for looting, especially your Great Ark.”

Su Can's ark was a planetary warship, and it was enormous. Moreover, its appearance was completely different from the ark of the black bean sprouts, so the group of black bean sprouts instinctively wanted to come and plunder it.

"I don't have time to waste with them. Everyone, get ready to fight."

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, Su Can knew he was heading to Macurag. Even though Abaddon had been scared away, Su Can knew that guy wouldn't give up so easily.

Although Abaddon has made a swift move, he is not so easily let go.

If these black bean sprouts did nothing, Su Can wouldn't bother with them. But since they've already taken a boarding position, they shouldn't blame him if they want to switch sides with his ark.

As expected, the Black Sprouts or Slaanesh faction are just that despicable. Now Su Can is planning to take matters into his own hands, and his weapon has just been forged. He needs some for sword consecration, and these Black Sprouts are perfect for that.

"Humph."

Just as Su Can was about to make a move, a group of people behind him, including his Iron Man Legion Commander, subtly surrounded a group of Death Army soldiers, which caused Evelynn's expression to change.

"Sigh, that's enough. It seems your Adaling tribe has a bad reputation. Don't make things difficult for the guests. I'll be right back."

At this moment, Su Can was also quite helpless. He swore that he really had no feelings for these spirit races.

It was all an instinctive reaction from everyone, including Iron Man, upon seeing that group of black bean sprouts. Just how bad was the reputation of these bean sprouts? That was one thing, but what really bothered Su Can was that while the bean sprouts were nervous, they seemed to take it for granted. Did these Death Army soldiers even know just how bad they were?

Indeed, in this world, the crow laughs at the black pig; it's a case of the same thing.

As for Su Can, he was too lazy to bother with them anymore; he would just let the excellent mechanisms of this world match each other.

In any case, Su Can had already learned over the decades that one shouldn't be too nice to others. Otherwise, it would drive them crazy, making them think that Su Can was plotting something against them. Of course, this was a minority, since most people knew that they had nothing that Su Can could be after.

Then Su Can thought it might be better to make them think that they had some ulterior motive towards them, because that way they would feel that they were being called upon to dedicate themselves to him.

Then he started acting like a religious madman, going on about things like eye-gouging sacrifices, which completely silenced Su Can.

Now Su Can has seen it clearly: it's fine for a shepherd to whip them.

So at this moment, Su Can directly led Locke and Brother A away from the command room and then came to the teleportation array.

While Su Can couldn't handle interstellar teleportation for the time being, short-distance teleportation was not difficult for him, and the Empire itself even possessed similar technology. For example, the most famous Terminator teleportation boarding maneuver; of course, with Su Can's current technology, he didn't need Astartes' Terminator teleportation at all.

..........

Meanwhile, outside...

"What is that? It doesn't look like alien technology."

At that moment, on a small aircraft at the very front, three Astartes from Deathwatch were looking at each other in bewilderment.
