"For the Emperor! For humanity!"
(Quiet and powerful nun's sign language)
The cries of the Imperial Guard echoed across this miraculous city that transcends time and space; hope is humanity's most powerful elixir.
With even greater momentum than when they first joined the Cyber War, the Imperial Guards once again threw themselves into the defense of the Cyber with unwavering fighting spirit.
They felt the Emperor's glory shining upon every combatant on the battlefield, and even the network maintenance workers were freed from their long-standing fatigue and were able to throw themselves back into the great cause.
They will succeed.
They must succeed!
This is humanity's last hope—there is only one path to victory in this war!
The road ahead may be winding and difficult, but the great Lord of mankind is with each and every one of them at this moment!
Amidst shouts of "Never give up!", the other two Imperial Guard commanders, Kade and Jasak, placed their hands on Ra's shoulders.
The three commanders and three guards exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and then rushed out of the City of Miracles in different directions.
Victory is within reach.
He encouraged himself, and on the Imperial Guard's troop carrier, he seemed to be able to see the glorious future of human victory.
They were so valiant that even the great human emperor marveled at the great feat they had accomplished—the demons were officially banished from the Webpath. As the restoration work progressed and was finally completed, the great human emperor stepped down from the golden throne and embraced the guards who had dedicated themselves to it for decades, hundreds, and even thousands of years, discussing philosophy and ideals.
Just like before.
This is the dream of the Imperial Guard, and also the dream designed by the Lord of Humanity at the beginning of the Network Project.
But that still seems... out of reach.
Just as he was about to arrive at the front line of the network with a new batch of supplies, La saw something that he feared most at that moment.
A vast horde of Tzeentch demons, accompanied by their shrieks and burning psionic flames, arrived, carrying with them evil sorcery.
What made it even more despairing was the familiar figure standing behind all the Tzeentch demons.
Magnus, the Red Devils.
"Number 15! What are you doing here?!"
"Why did you betray humanity, betray the Emperor!"
...In the end, Tzeentch succeeded in carrying out his plan.
Despite paying a heavy price with the minions of Chaos, reducing the number of pieces He could manipulate in the threads of His future and destiny by a significant amount, enough to cause Him heartache.
But that's alright, the gains from this trip are equally worth celebrating—
Persuaded by the traitorous Thousand Sons Legion and the Empire's Twin-Headed Eagle, and considering the overall interests.
After countless days and nights of contemplation within the tower of the other's crystal labyrinth, Magnus, ultimately drawn by the boundless knowledge, chose the other.
(Don't ask why there's only knowledge and no wisdom, because Tzeentch couldn't give Magnus wisdom.)
Magnus has chosen to join the cause of the Emperor of Change, and in retaliation for the False Emperor's imprisonment, dismantling, and prohibition of psionic research, he will lead the Thousand Sons, traitors who have escaped from various Legions, and countless Tzeentch Daedrics to launch an attack on the Emperor's Web.
Perhaps he felt a long time had passed, but in order to bring the magical little horse to fight in the cyber war, in the subspace where there is no concept of time, under the control of the Lord of Change, all his transformations and advancements would be completed at this moment.
There's no other way; if we don't hurry, royal elves might really emerge from under the brass throne!
Even though Tzeentch disliked Khorne, there wasn't much room for infighting at this point.
Now, with Magnus possessing psychic abilities, the tide of battle will turn back in favor of the demonic alliance, especially against the Imperial Guard, who are completely devoid of psychic power.
Just as He had predicted, after Magnus joined the battle, the Imperial Guard's original advantage of long reach was once again shattered by the enemy's psychic magic.
When confronted with Ra's questioning, Magnus did not answer, but instead continued to fire a barrage of psionic arrows.
On this vast battlefield of the net, every time Magnus unleashed a powerful spell, swathes of the Imperial Guard would fall or be reduced to dust before his near-infinite power.
The terrifying power of an Ascended Primarch is far beyond what the Imperial Guards stationed here can withstand.
Even with the Silent Sisters helping to weaken the opponent's psychic attacks, the Soulless Ones' ability to suppress psychic energy is never absolute.
Each shot of the Primarch's abundant psionic energy claimed the lives of more Silent Sisters.
Although the final damage was indeed reduced, it was only a difference in the number of kills.
They couldn't stop Magnus.
As Magnus watched his father's loyal servants fall before his power, a surge of vengeful pleasure welled up within him.
To guard against him, the Emperor initially restricted his research and controlled his power based on the assumption that only he would break through the network in the future.
Because of this Netway Project, Prospero was reduced to ashes and the Thousand Sons Legion was completely disbanded!
The results of it?
Didn't they all get wiped out by Luo Jia?
He himself could only remain motionless on the golden throne in agony, never able to step down.
Haha!
So you've finally met your match!
However, there is one thing he will never know.
In fact, part of the reason Tzeentch arranged for him to be involved in the Web Wars in advance was to see how the two sides would meet again when the Emperor came down in person.
On the other hand, Magnus's arrangement was also to lure the Emperor into fighting personally, so that while completing the withdrawal from the Webway, he could also admit the ultimate failure of his Webway plan.
As long as the Emperor's Web Road project remains unresolved, the Dark Gods will never be truly at ease.
Especially with the sudden changes, humanity actually seems to have a tendency to overshadow His plans and complete this project under the intertwining of countless threads of fate!
That's right!
At this very moment, at this very juncture, another reinforcement of the cursed are about to arrive!
That is......
Deep green ships, warships from humanity, appeared beyond these ancient, alien creations.
“That is…” Finally, someone recognized the shape of the warship that was beyond the reach of spatial perception in the distance, and the legion it belonged to. “That’s a Salamander, it’s the Vokhan, the number eighteen warship!”
He brought with him an unharmed, fully armed army of over 100,000 Salamanders, along with the Burning Hand and the Seven Hammers Amulet.
The Lord of Fire Dragons has returned from the depths of the Net Path.
......
The plan for the great rebellion was too hasty.
Or rather, this was a forced rebellion that had to be carried out after the potential influence of the Chaos Gods in their legions was eliminated.
There's no time left for them to plan and operate.
Despite the ugly outcome, the dark gods had to at this point either elevate the Emperor to the Dark Lord or imprison him forever on the Golden Throne.
Otherwise, the entire Milky Way galaxy would fall under human domination.
This is their last chance.
In other words, if a major rebellion doesn't break out now, the Warhammer world could truly transform from a cesspool into a beautiful, harmonious, and loving world.
Therefore, even if the rebellion is somewhat forced, they still have to carry out their pre-arranged rebellion plan within this short period of time.
Time is tight and tasks are heavy.
With the online war and the legion civil war taking place simultaneously, it's inevitable that some areas will be overlooked.
The dark gods did not fail in their scheme.
But even if they buried themselves deep enough, they couldn't stop Casca from revealing the secrets from his mysterious power of revealing plot points from a higher dimension, since he had seen the script.
The only one who can rival him is the God of Deception.
The latter can use the vast and boundless spacetime dimensions of the subspace to force a portion of the Primarch within it to serve its purposes, even if the other party is a mortal (as it is at this time).
But what about all those loyal Primarchs, and the Primarch Legions who, while having some doubts about the Great Crusade, were only slightly shaken?
...Nothing was done.
They had no choice but to resort to the crudest and most foolish method, demanding that Luo Jia immediately use the souls sacrificed on Kos to summon a raging warp storm, separating the legions of several loyalists so that they could not support each other.
And that is why the tragedy on Istvan 5 was not repeated. Salamanders and Raven Guards were able to lead fully-organized legions to aid other regions under attack by traitors when the warp storms subsided.
As for Vokhan...
He also received a direct invitation from Eldrad, the Eldar prophet—who, through the web-based device on Nocturne, instructed his legions to return to Holy Terra via the web.
"Block the internet, come on!" (X)
......
Coss.
The final showdown for Cos did not turn out as everyone expected, with Guilliman and Luo Jia facing off in a battle between their brothers.
In the end, one Primarch lost the duel in disgrace, while the other, after seeing Alpha leave, slunk away with the Legion, showing absolutely no demeanor befitting a Primarch of the Legion.
After all, Alpha left and the Prince came. The previous situation of two against one between them has now become two against one between the Prince and the Ultra Warrior!
Can we fight this? No way!
Let's get out of here!
clown.
It's quite rare for two Primarchs to be able to embarrass themselves simultaneously during the battle between Guilliman and Loka, two such disgraceful individuals.
The Battle of Koss ended with both Primarchs losing face.
Most of the Word Bearers still on Kos were crushed by the Ultramarines, who were in a state of extreme rage. The remaining few Word Bearers, seeing the situation was not good, fled with Loka into the distant void. Many of them were also shot down by the Ultramarines and the Emperor's Sons' fleet.
After this one battle, the Ultramarines were indeed severely weakened, but the Word Bearers were not much better off.
Many of the Word Bearers' Space Marines followed the true Legion Commander Angertai and chose loyalty, and even fewer of the few Word Bearers under the Loka's command were able to escape in this battle.
Originally one of the largest legions, the Word Bearers will be unable to fight again during the Great Rebellion after this one battle.
And the flagship the Word Bearers used to escape...
The Law of Faith was severely damaged by the Ultramarines' frenzied counterattack. Judging from the extent of the damage to the hull, it was no less severe than that of the Radiant Macragge, whose main bridge was blown off.
Without several years of repairs, it probably won't be able to be deployed in actual combat.
As for the other Glory Queen-class battleship, it was under the command of the Emperor's Son in Fugrim, who, together with the Ultramarines, boarded and ultimately captured the warship named Ashes of History.
.......
"Thank you for your support, Great Imperial Warmaster Vograim."
"Without your help and the help of your loyal sons of the emperor, I cannot even imagine the final outcome of this battle."
"Alpha... This brother's actions are too bizarre and unpredictable... I didn't expect that he would also stand with the forces of destruction."
After receiving treatment and rehabilitation from the apothecary and the sage of the Mechanicus, Guilliman struggled to his feet and bowed slowly to Fugrim in front of the airfield that Koss had just finished repairing.
Guilliman's complexion was still somewhat poor.
It's unclear whether it was because the losses suffered by the Ultra Warriors exceeded his expectations.
The Ultramarines suffered unpredictable losses; not only were numerous planets attacked by the Word Bearers, but civilian populations were also sacrificed through blasphemous rituals. In terms of war resources, the Radiance of Macragge suffered the most severe damage.
The casualties at Astartes numbered around 100,000.
Nevertheless, their current Astartes Legion will soon be able to replenish its numbers to over 200,000.
Although I don't know why, it's still 200,000.
“It’s a pleasure to see my brother during this storm that’s sweeping the world,” Fugrim exclaimed. “Guilliman, do you have any news of the others? Did they come here today?”
As for the Primarch, there isn't one.
However, because the Pharos Beacon will emit a light similar to a star torch in the warp, a large number of transport ships and caravans will be attracted to Macragge during the storm, including some people who know the current situation of the various legions.
"When the warp storm occurred, each legion was on its own expeditionary mission, and thus may have been divided into several small areas that could not communicate with each other."
"Especially people like Angron..."
As the Great Expedition was nearing its end, the remaining unrecovered territories were located in extremely remote parts of the Empire.
Like the Gulf of Damocles, those places are already difficult to reach, and the influence of warp storms will further exacerbate the Primarch's split-off mentality.
