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

So almost in the blink of an eye, more attacks came crashing down on the Grey Knights. While psionic or demonic attacks would have been manageable, the problem was that they were also mixed with a large number of explosive bombs and purely physical attacks.

In that instant, even the Grey Knights couldn't find a good opportunity to make a prophecy, let alone the Chaos Wizard who was still chanting verses praising the evil god.

"hateful."

In that instant, Calga and his group were completely surrounded, and even his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

This boarding action was definitely not a reckless act; simply allowing it to unleash its power would cause the entire battlefield to collapse rapidly. They simply had no way to stop it effectively, so at this moment…

"We will buy you more time. Prepare to transfer your Primarch to the Radiance of Macragge. And do not linger, immediately enter the Warp and head to Holy Terra!!!"

Calgar knew at this point that defeat was almost inevitable. While Macragge was important, the Primarch was even more crucial, and nothing could be done to ensure anything happened to him.

"Chapter Commander, reinforcements from the Ascetic Chapter have arrived."

.........

Meanwhile, at Mandeville, located outside Macurag.

"Oh no, things look bad."

Just then, after a nine-day voyage, the flagship of the Ascetic Chapter finally emerged from the warp.

After completing the docking, their battle group leader immediately saw the current situation.

"Chaos Warmaster Abaddon has arrived in Macragge and has performed several sacrifices."

"War Commander? Abaddon dares to call himself a War Commander?"

Upon hearing this, Lion King Ryan Aljonson also showed anger and said, "He, Abaddon, is not worthy of being called a Warmaster."

"Forehead........"

Upon hearing this, the Ascetic Warband Leader scratched his head. He felt that Abaddon being the Warmaster was actually the least troublesome thing at the moment.

"Be prepared, I will personally punish Abaddon."

"........."

Hearing this, the Ascetic Warband fell silent. He found this man's focus rather strange. However, as a son of Guilliman, he was perceptive enough to know there was no need to remind the Lion King.

Now that the Lion King is going to take action, he has no reason to refuse. Besides, Karga is already trapped; he must rescue him no matter what.

"All Terminators, follow me on the boarding jump. You proceed to rendezvous with the Makrag Glory."

In that instant, the leader of the Ascetic Corps immediately pulled his company of veterans to put on the Terminator armor, and then almost immediately disappeared from the spot.

"There are too many enemies. Decapitating Abaddon is no longer an option, and we can't retreat."

Just then, Company Commander Severus Agman said to Calga with a serious expression, "Our escape route is now cut off."

"Everyone, for the sake of the five hundred worlds of Altera, charge..."

At this moment, Calga also took a deep breath and prepared to launch a desperate charge.

but........

boom!!!

A tremendous roar resounded as a giant, over four meters tall and clad in dark green power armor, crashed down in front of him. The entire battlefield froze instantly upon the giant's appearance.

Chapter 90 The most frightening thing is when the atmosphere suddenly becomes quiet.

be quiet

With the sudden appearance of the Lion King, the entire battlefield fell silent.

At this moment, both Abaddon and Calgar were somewhat dumbfounded as they stared at the suddenly appearing Lion King, just like when Guilliman awoke, directly shocking everyone.

but.......

Just then, a glint of light suddenly flashed in the eyes of one of the canned goods caught in the chaos. Only the Primarch's skull could please the great Blood God, so...

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offering to the skull seat!!!"

With a roar, the Chaos Space Marine launched a leaping slash at the Lion King.

Pfft!!!

With a crisp snapping sound, the Chaos Space Marine was cut in two by the Lion King's blade.

The corpse that had leaped high landed in two pieces, and the Lion King didn't even glance at the Chaos Astartes.

In that instant, he transformed into a whirlwind, rushing towards Abaddon at a speed so fast that even the Chaos Astartes couldn't see it clearly.

Even Abaddon himself felt as if he had only blinked, and the Lion King was already in front of him.

At that moment, he only had time to do one thing: sweep the Drachner in his hand away.

Then...

Snap!

A crisp snapping sound rang out, and the power sword in the Lion King's hand shattered instantly. Then, Drachnien swung it down at the Lion King without any resistance; even the Blade Champion of the Imperial Guard had been cut in half by this very thing.

You have to understand, that Blade Champion was an old item collected by Tarasin, and even he was like this. But the Lion King certainly wouldn't do that, reacting in that instant. He then stomped his foot on the ground and jumped back, forcefully widening the distance between himself and Abaddon.

Even so, the Lion King's power armor was still scratched by the tip of the sword.

Then, with a look of surprise and uncertainty, he looked at the weapon in Abaddon's hand. This sword was obtained by Abaddon around the time of the first Black Crusade, when the Empire had lost all its Primarchs.

Therefore, the Lion King was not very clear about this weapon, and almost all those who actually fought Abaddon and faced this weapon were already dead.

Because the moment Abaddon swung his sword, the Lion King felt a wave of death wash over him.

While he could understand the Claw of Horus on Abaddon's other hand, he truly didn't know about the Claw of Drakenion, the Lion King who had once severely injured the Emperor.

"Evacuate!!!"

Seeing that the Lion King Abaddon had retreated, he didn't dare to say anything more. He was just taking advantage of the fact that the Lion King didn't know what weapon he had.

You have to understand that no matter how powerful your weapon is, it's useless if you can't hit your target. So, Abaddon made a very simple choice at this moment: he used a teleportation spell to take his Gastrin Terminators back to his Vengeance Soul.

As for the battlefield, it was left to this massive demon army, while also urging the chaos wizards at the rear of the battlefield to accelerate their sacrifices and directly summon even more troops.

"The great Lion King Ryan Aljonson, now the enemy forces are numerous, and Abaddon's sword has a very mysterious and dangerous origin."

At this moment, Calga also took a deep breath. Draknien's background was transparent to Su Can.

However, the Empire truly did not understand this weapon, since the Imperial Guards who fought in the Web Wars were mostly gone.

"Phew, I got it."

At this moment, the Lion King also took a deep breath, and then looked at the broken power sword in his hand with a bit of silence.

This sword was the best weapon given to his chapter by the Ascetic Chapter Master, but it was clearly nothing compared to Drachnien; even the Lion King nearly suffered a major loss. And Abaddon was incredibly fast, giving the Lion King no second chance to strike.

"Um........"

Upon hearing this, the Lion King looked at the demon army rushing towards him like a tidal wave, and his face turned very ugly.

The difference in numbers between the two sides is too great now. There are only a few hundred of them here, and it is not realistic to completely break through these demonic tides.

Moreover, if he were to fight the Lion King head-on, he could probably kill him, but none of the people around him would survive.

So after much deliberation, the Lion King decisively led a group of people back towards Hera Fortress. As long as they rejoined the frontline army, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

So soon, everyone in Hera Fortress, including Karga, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have so few troops now, and the only way to end this war is to destroy those corruption points in the warp."

The Lion King was still quite clear-headed. Looking at the massive warp waves, he knew that he probably couldn't pay attention to Abaddon in the sky for the time being.

The only thing to do now is to drive all these guys off the ground; only then will Guilliman be safe.

Although he looked down on his brother and despised him from the bottom of his heart, the Lion King still didn't want anything to happen to him.

After all, once he woke up from a long sleep, he didn't recognize a single person. Only the Lion King himself knew the immense loneliness and sense of alienation he felt.

"As long as we hold on, reinforcements will keep coming in, and then we can launch a counterattack."

At this moment, Calgar immediately added that several warbands were already rushing to the scene in the warp, and once the army was assembled, they could launch a counterattack.

“Yes, take me to see Guilliman, and I need a weapon.”

At that moment, the Lion King also took a deep breath. It was clear that ordinary weapons were no match for Draknien. As for the Emperor's Shield, he had not yet obtained it.

If his weapon hadn't been so weak, he could have easily subdued Abaddon. However, upon hearing this, Calgar's face showed a troubled expression; he had also seen Abaddon's weapon.

Let alone that finely crafted power sword, even his own gauntlets would struggle against it. As far as he knew, there was only one thing comparable to that sword: the Emperor's Sword on Guilliman's knee.

However, since it's currently in a static position, it's impossible to take it out now.

Even so, Calgar still dragged Lion King to the Ultramarines' armory and let him choose one himself.

..........

Meanwhile, on the other side, aboard the Vengeance Soul...

"Lion King Ryan Aljonsen!!!"

Abaddon, equally furious, remarked that he had almost been chopped to pieces by the Lion King. The Primarch was indeed the Primarch; his combat prowess far surpassed that of Sigismund from nearly ten thousand years ago and Constantine Waldo, the first Marshal of the Custodian Guard.

Moreover, this is the Lion King, whose combat power is among the top in the original universe.

"Commander, what should we do next?"

At this moment, a Chaos Wizard beside Abaddon said that Ryan's appearance had completely disrupted their plans.

"Hmph, just a mere Ryan Aljonsen."

Upon hearing this, Abaddon sneered and then looked at the warships protected by Macragge's planetary defense system.

That guy arrived in a combat barge, so it's clear that the support force was very limited. And no matter how powerful the Lion King was, he was still just one person.

"Offer all the people as sacrifices to summon the largest possible demon army. I refuse to believe that the Lion King alone can cut down all these demons. And you all need to be on guard, just make sure the Lion King doesn't jump over there."

At this point, Abaddon was also planning to try one more time, since he couldn't possibly support so many people anyway.

Then we can simply sacrifice them all, and then just use sheer numbers to overwhelm them, until the Lion King is dead.

Or perhaps the Lion King would be so exhausted that he wouldn't be able to protect Guilliman at all; of course, he himself wasn't planning on going.

Even his own core Gastrin Terminators wouldn't be mobilized. Besides, he truly couldn't afford to delay; Macragge was the home of the Ultramarines, and also one of the wealthiest regions in the entire Imperium. Their forces scattered throughout the sector and surrounding areas were definitely not to be underestimated.

So if it drags on for too long, and their power fully returns, it will be dangerous for him.

Keep in mind that this isn't the Eye of Fear. If you really can't beat them in Kadia, you can simply retreat to the Eye of Fear.

But it's different here; their escape route can easily be blocked.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the Chaos Wizard nodded, and then one by one, humans were escorted to the ground.

Now, accompanied by hymns praising the dark forces of the warp, six more great demons and their armies emerged from the warp rift in the blink of an eye.

Now, there are ten great demons and ten demon armies following them throughout the entire Macurag.

It's worth noting that even in the Battle of Lionsgate, there were only eight Great Demons and their army, though the numbers are much greater now.

However, their quality is certainly inferior; these demons do not have the direct support of their evil gods. For example, in the Battle of Lion's Gate, they relied on the support of the Blood God.

Those Khorne Bloodletters were able to charge forward despite the light spears deployed by the Imperial Guard atop the Holy Terra Palace. These demons, let alone basic demons, couldn't withstand even a single light spear.

But this isn't Holy Terra, and there are far too many of them. The current situation is that even candidates who haven't completed many surgeries are being brought out; he has deployed his entire army.

so........

"Abaddon has gone mad. How many people did he bring?"

At this moment, Ryan, who was located above Hera Fortress, didn't even have time to check on Guilliman, because the entire Hera Fortress had turned red.

At this moment, their display screens were densely covered with red dots; such a massive demon army was rarely seen under normal circumstances.

Moreover, if it weren't for Abaddon keeping things under control, his warbands would have already divided these people up and sacrificed them.

Unless a tyrannical god personally intervenes to orchestrate something, those in chaos generally share a tendency towards short-sightedness. Aside from Tzeentch, they weren't exactly short-sighted. Rather, they often set perfect traps, only to find them ineffective by the time the Empire realized what was happening and stepped into them.

Even the great demon who set up this trap couldn't withstand the drain on the real universe and went back to the warp.

"........."

Even Ryan Aljonson was covered in cold sweat at this moment. It wasn't that he was afraid of these people, but rather that they had too few troops at their disposal.

Although he was a Primarch, he was still human, and he couldn't instantly wipe out so many demons. Even facing the surging demon army, Ryan wasn't sure if he had the time to protect those behind him.

"Hahaha, good, very good. Now you have only one mission: to take the head of Primarch Guilliman at all costs!!!"
