I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 310: Guarding Terra

Trajan Valoris pushed aside the huge rock that was pressing on him and climbed out of the ruins.

Looking at the empty golden throne hanging high in front of the golden gate, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guards felt an indescribable great sorrow.

The Lord of mankind, to whom he had been loyal since birth, disappeared.

Although before he disappeared, the Lord of Mankind had made arrangements, asking him to take the Imperial Guards into a sturdy dungeon to hide.

With their tenacious will and vitality, the Imperial Guards survived the sudden outbreak of golden flames.

Witness the golden sun rising from the golden throne and instantly disappearing into the depths of the universe. Then the surging spiritual energy that ravaged the solar system gradually subsided, and the strange golden flames also gradually disappeared.

What the Imperial Guards saw when they climbed out of the ruins was a devastated and dead planet.

Soon communications were restored, and the situations of the survivors from all over Terra were transmitted to the Imperial Guards Marshal Trajan like snowflakes.

The situation made him feel very heavy.

In the short period of less than a minute, almost all of Terra's 16 trillion people were burned into pale skeletons by the strange golden flames.

There are less than 200 billion survivors left.

Most of them were soldiers, with a small number of civilians.

One hundred and sixty million people died in an instant... One hundred and sixty million.

These were just the victims on Terra. In addition to Terra, similar disasters occurred on other planets and star systems.

Trajan was in great sorrow.

Emperor, is this also part of your plan?

Sacrificing so many people to implement your plan that only you knew.

Where did you go?

Are you abandoning Terra?

"Sir, the Shadow Prison is damaged!"

A guard came forward anxiously to report.

Deep within the partially collapsed palace, there was a loud explosion, accompanied by a terrifying roar like that of a demonic monster.

Trajan shook off his dejected look and said with high morale: "Soldiers, follow me!"

In the absence of the Emperor and the Primarch, the Grand Marshal of the Guards is nominally the highest commander of the Empire.

Trajan resolutely took on the responsibility of defending Terra.

He rushed towards the Shadow Prison with the Imperial Guards, and then the sound of fierce fighting came from underground, causing the ground to shake continuously.

"Herald, order all troops that are still able to fight to gather at the palace!"

The Sun Lord and the Admiral issued orders one after another.

The Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy that survived the disaster immediately assembled on Terra, preparing for the worst and defending the Lord of Mankind.

At the same time, Grand Marshal Trajan of the Imperial Guards broadcast a galaxy-wide broadcast in the name of the Emperor, ordering all Space Marine Chapters and the Imperial Navy to support Terra as quickly as possible.

Just as the remaining Imperial forces were gathering around the Terra Palace.

The entire planet shook violently.

There was a huge banging sound coming from the emperor's bedroom, as if a huge explosion was happening.

This unusual movement caused the expression of the Imperial Guard Marshal, who was fighting fiercely with the "Forbidden" who escaped from the Shadow Prison, to change.

Trajan had a stern expression, one of horror and anger.

"Not good! The Gate of the End..."

Trajan immediately led the main force of the Imperial Guards to the emperor's bedroom, the hall of the Golden Throne.

The earth-shaking vibration at this moment came from the golden gate behind the golden throne.

This creation, called the "Gate of the End", was built by the Emperor himself, and seals the entrance to the Webway behind it.

During the Horus Heresy ten thousand years ago, the webway built by the Emperor beneath the Imperial Palace was destroyed, and countless demons poured into the webway on Terra from the Warp.

In order to suppress the endless outpouring of demons who were trying to use the Webway as a springboard to invade Terra.

The Emperor had to suppress the entrance to the Webway with the End Gate and the Golden Throne, and sat on the Golden Throne himself, using his supreme psychic power to block the invasion of the Warp.

Fight against the four evil gods on his own.

It lasted for ten thousand years.

Now that the Emperor has suddenly disappeared, the Golden Throne has lost the Emperor's seat and suddenly lost the ability to suppress the Webway.

Countless demons once again poured into the Webway from the Warp, attacking the Endgate from within.

Even though this gate is made of indestructible adamantium and is blessed with the power of the Emperor.

But under the joint attack of the four evil gods, the gate was eventually destroyed.

Accompanied by a loud bang.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

The Gate of the End was smashed open from the inside, and overwhelming demons poured out from the huge entrance.

They ran into Trajan's 3,000 guardsmen who were ready for battle.

Originally, there were 10,000 guardsmen guarding Terra.

But after the Primarch Robouti Guilliman awoke, he convinced the Custodes to leave the Imperial Palace and join him in his Indomitus Crusade to restore the Emperor.

About six thousand Custodes followed Guilliman to various parts of the Empire, forming special leadership teams with the Sisters of Silence, Primaris Warriors, and War Apostles.

To strengthen the command core and high-end combat power of the expeditionary force at all levels for Guilliman.

"For the Emperor!"

Trajan shouted slogans and led the Imperial Guards fearlessly to charge towards the enemy whose number was more than ten times his own.

Amidst the sounds of explosions and tearing flesh, the Imperial Guards transformed into a solid golden wall, firmly blocking the tide of demons pouring out of the Gate of the End.

As the ceiling of the Imperium's combat effectiveness, the Custodians are the most powerful human warriors besides the Emperor himself and the Primarch.

Each and every one of the Custodians was personally created by the Emperor, undergoing customized, one-of-a-kind genetic modification surgery, and equipped with exclusive, genetically certified special weapons.

Each of the Custodes can be considered a streamlined version of their Primarch, or a Chapter Master enhanced by the Emperor himself.

In fact, the nickname of the Custodes is "Ten Thousand", which comes from the fact that each Custodes is as powerful as a Space Marine Ten Thousand. They can fight one against many, one against ten, and beat several Astartes company champions or a dozen ordinary Space Marines.

Although there were only three thousand guards, they still built an indestructible line of defense in front of the Gate of the End, blocking most of the tens of thousands of demons who tried to rush out of the Gate of the End.

Trajan wielded the Spear of the Sun God, and could kill a demon with one strike. He slaughtered efficiently and ruthlessly, and in a blink of an eye, the corpses of demons were all around him.

While the Imperial Guards were blocking the demon army, the surviving Space Marines and mortal troops on Terra were rushing to the palace for support under Trajan's orders.

The first to arrive were the Grey Knights and Assassins of the Court stationed near the palace.

Their joining greatly relieved the pressure on the Imperial Guards and plugged the loopholes in the defense line.

Then there is the loyal Terran Guard, composed of elite legions such as Krieg and Cordia. The Terran Guard brings together the most elite veterans of the Empire.

Soon, a fleet of Imperial Navy fighter planes roared over the palace and engaged in a fierce battle in the air with those flying demons.

The ground and the sky were filled with artillery fire, and the magnificent palace, which had been peaceful for thousands of years, was once again illuminated by the light of fire.

Trajan had just commanded the Terra troops to build a defense line.

A roar that made the entire planet tremble was heard from the Gate of the End.

"Fake emperor!"

An extremely huge and burly red demon rushed out of the Gate of the End with a breath of destruction.
