Chapter 313: Using All Your Strength Regardless of the Cost
Chapter 313: Using All Your Strength Regardless of the Cost
Seed of Destruction, Angras, Kabanha, Skarbrand, Uzul the Skulltaker...
Xia Laxi Demonic Disaster, Heart Slayer, Carlos Fate Weaver, Rotigus, Black Death...
Chaos Demons with names and surnames, who have caused countless disasters in the history of the empire, appeared on the battlefield of the End Gate.
It was like a dozen sharp knives smashing on cloth, piercing the defense line built by humans at the Gate of the End.
The Great Demon is the incarnation of fragments of the evil god's original power and can be regarded as the evil god's "clone".
As a pure warp existence, the evil god cannot escape from the warp.
You can only create a big demon and let it act as your chess piece walking in the real world.
The Archdemon is arguably the most powerful Warp creature capable of walking in the real world.
Their power is almost equal to that of the Demon Primarch, and some of them are even more powerful than the Demon Primarch.
As the four evil gods consumed their original divine power at all costs, they sent all the demons under their command to the Terra battlefield.
With the addition of more than a dozen Primarch-level super combat forces, the balance of power between Chaos and humans was instantly broken.
The power of Chaos is too overwhelming.
The human defense line was broken in an instant and collapsed.
Even the four loyal Primarchs were in danger and in desperate situation under the joint siege of the Demon Primarch and the Great Demon.
At the critical moment, the last safety precaution set by the Emperor was triggered.
Accompanied by golden flames, a group of angels with white wings on their backs appeared from the depths of the Terra Palace, blocking the path of the Chaos Demon with the trajectory of burning everything.
"It's Saint Sebastian!"
"Sanguino!"
"He is a living saint!"
"The Emperor is above! The Emperor is watching us and is with us!"
"Kill, warriors!"
The angel with golden light boosted the morale of the human warriors.
Countless airborne capsules continued to fall like a meteor shower.
The Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Imperial Fists... Loyal Space Marine companies were airdropped into the Terra battlefield to join the fierce battle with the demon army.
A tall Space Marine commander wearing a golden mask of Sanguinius, dressed in Terminator power armor, and holding a power sword, stopped a Khorne Daemon alone.
The soldiers exclaimed in amazement at his majestic appearance.
"It's Dante, commander of the Blood Angels Chapter!"
With a flash of teleportation, an old man dressed as a Grey Knight descended from the sky with thunder, a red flag fluttering behind him, and his roar frightened even the demons.
Wielding the Thunder Sword, he killed a Tzeentchian Daemon that even the Primarch had trouble with in just five strikes.
The Terran warriors around him watched as the gray-haired Grey Knight gasped as he killed the demon as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.
Someone immediately recognized the origin of this powerful Grey Knight.
"Oh my God!"
"He is Cardo Diego, the Grand Master of the Grey Knights!"
Cardo Diego, the legendary Grey Knights Supreme Grand Master, is said to have disappeared in the warp. Someone once witnessed him destroying a demon world alone. He is known as the strongest Grey Knight in history and the man closest to God.
The long-lost Supreme Grand Master suddenly appeared on the battlefield of Terra.
Needless to say, it must be the work of the emperor.
The soldiers watched the Grand Master slaughter demons, their blood boiling.
I didn't expect the legend to be true. The Supreme Grand Master is really that awesome. Killing demons is as easy as cutting vegetables.
He is indeed the legendary man!
"Krieg, charge toward death!"
The loyal Krieg soldiers jumped out of the trenches and launched a fanatical death charge towards the inhuman enemy.
"Catachan, forward!"
The Catachan macho men and women in vests, armed with tactical knives, pounced on the giant demon that was several times their size and fought fiercely.
"Cadia will never fall!"
The soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Cadian Legion shouted the Cadian slogans and took firm steps, following the commander's tanks, with infantry and tanks working together to shoot at the demon army.
On a battlefield of tens of thousands of square kilometers centered on the Gate of the End, hundreds of millions of human troops and demon troops several times their number are engaged in a brutal and fierce battle of life and death.
Not a single human soldier retreated.
Inspired by the Primarchs, Angels, Legion Commanders, Commanders, and Imperial Priests, they were ready to die and rushed to the front line one after another.
Countless loyal and brave warriors fell in the magnificent palace, and their blood spread on the golden palace walls and sacred land.
"Lord Guilliman, a Chaos fleet has appeared behind us, flying the banner of the Iron Warriors!"
On the Macragge's Glory, Guilliman was directing operations in front of the tactical sphere.
He has taken over command of the space battlefield and has become the de facto supreme commander of the Imperial Army.
Looking at the information reported by the intelligence officer, Guilliman's face was solemn.
"Perturabo..."
Another long-lost traitor has appeared.
Along with the eight Primarchs on the battlefield of Terra, Guilliman felt a strong sense of unease.
The situation was beyond his control.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the desperate moment of the Horus Heresy ten thousand years ago.
Horus led the betrayed Primarch into the Terra Palace. The Chaos army was approaching, brothers were killing each other, and the human empire was in danger.
The situation now is worse than it was back then.
At that time, the Emperor himself was still alive, and the loyal Imperial army still had a backbone.
But now... Guilliman was horrified and confused when he learned that the Emperor was missing and the Golden Throne was empty.
For a moment, he even suspected that the Emperor was really dead.
Humanity has lost their leader forever.
They lost the person who could lead them out of the darkness.
When the catastrophe occurred on Terra, the flickering star torches in the warp were instantly extinguished, and the entire human empire in the galaxy fell into great panic and chaos.
Suddenly, a huge turmoil swept across the Milky Way.
The rebellion of the ambitious, the attack of the lurking aliens, the invasion of demons...all kinds of chaos immediately unfolded in the millions of worlds of the empire.
To attack suddenly. To take advantage of someone's misfortune in a tacit manner.
But Guilliman had no time for all this.
The imperial troops had no time to pay attention to the riots.
Human commanders are well aware that the war on Terra is the decisive one.
Therefore, as soon as they received the summons from the Grand Marshal of the Guards, the Space Marine Chapters and the Imperial Navy from all over the world initiated Warp jumps.
Rush to the solar system as quickly as possible.
Guilliman himself, under the guidance of the Emperor himself, rushed back from the distant edge of the galaxy.
When he arrived, what lay before him was a precarious battlefield.
Humanity's fragile defenses may be broken or even completely destroyed by the Chaos army at any time.
Guilliman immediately joined the battle, took over command, and quickly stabilized the situation with his superb command ability.
But Guilliman knew well that humanity would most likely lose this war.
The Chaos forces are much stronger than humans.
The evil god controls the subspace and can effectively block the arrival of imperial reinforcements.
They could also use the collapsed webway to deploy large numbers of troops from the Endgate and directly attack Terra's homeland.
Not only is the human side at a clear disadvantage in terms of total military strength, but they are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of high-end combat power.
The other side has five demon primarchs, multiple great demons that are no weaker than the primarchs, and countless high-level demons.
Although humans also have five Primarchs, they do not have that many "Great Demons". The Grand Master of the Grey Knights, the Marshal of the Custodes, the Chapter Master of the Blood Angels and others can barely contend with the Chaos Daemons.
But high-end combat power is still seriously insufficient.
The unrestrained Chaos Daemons are slaughtering the Empire's warriors at will.
The empire's elite troops are constantly being decimated.
"Lord Guilliman, please send my Untouchables to support the Terra battlefield."
At this time, Clark, the leader of the Hope Legion who had just surrendered, took the initiative to speak.
