Chapter 92 The Colossus of Heavenly Punishment that shocked everyone in the empire

I saw Korvu proposing to the primarch in public that he would lead his brothers in the Chapter to destroy the Battle Moon.

Many chapter leaders later realized they regretted it.

They followed Corvu and asked for the first battle.

It was hoped that the Primarch would send them to raid the Battle Moon and open the way for the Imperial forces.

"The Silver Skulls are willing to destroy the Battle Moon for their primarch."

"The Genesis Battle Group is willing to take the lead."

"The Flame Eagle is willing to share the Primarch's worries."

Many chapter leaders are vying for qualifications for the first battle.

I want to add another layer of honor to the group's honor.

In many battles in the past, the battle moon that attacked the orcs was extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful, the entire battle group may be wiped out.

But those situations occurred without the original body.

The situation now is completely different.

In order to solve the problem in the Charaton sector.

Guilliman organized a total of thirty warbands.

All are Space Marines who have completed the Primaris upgrade.

The strength of the Primaris Space Marines alone is over 30,000.

This scale was common during the Great Crusade.

However, since the end of the Horus Heresy and the Second Founding of the Army, the Space Marines have basically operated in groups of more than a thousand people and rarely gathered together.

In thousands of years of history, there have only been a handful of times where so many warriors gathered.

In addition to the thirty war groups, new war groups are coming from all over the galaxy.

The number of Primaris Space Marines in the hands of the original body reached more than 40,000.

This is already a destructive force.

There are forces in the galaxy that can resist more than 40,000 Primaris Space Marines, and even one slap is not enough.

The orc warlords are certainly powerful.

But facing more than 40,000 Primaris Space Marines, it still seemed a bit inadequate.

The Empire of Man is destined to triumph.

Whoever can defeat the Orcs' Battle Moon will be able to achieve the first victory in the final decisive battle and add to their group's achievements.

Guilliman looked at the many Chapter Masters and naturally guessed their thoughts, but he would not choose anyone.

He has already made his own arrangements for War Moon.

Seeing everyone arguing, Guilliman smiled and reached out to stop their quarrel.

The mechanical priest beside him released a holographic projection that enveloped the entire hall.

Show everyone the huge, threatening battle moon of the orcs.

The Battle Moon's surface is an overlapping patchwork of massive dissolved debris and interconnected metal plates.

It looks like a giant half-rusted clockwork or an intricate planetary toy, the bright paint on the exterior having been wiped away to expose its inner workings.

The Battle Moon is the pinnacle of Orc technology.

It is large enough to affect the gravity of a planet.

Compared with the Battle Moon, those several-kilometer-long orc ships are like swarms of insects.

In many battles between the Empire and the Orcs.

Once the battle moon appears on the void battlefield, it represents the beginning of the defeat of the imperial fleet.

There are no exceptions.

During each periodic wave of WAAAGH, the empire also attaches great importance to whether the orcs have a battle moon.

If there is, it must be paralyzed and destroyed as soon as possible at all costs.

Otherwise, the Imperial Fleet will be completely defeated.

"This time, there is no need for any war group to conduct a surprise attack. We will directly defeat the Orcs' Battle Moon on the frontal battlefield."

After everyone calmed down, Guilliman spoke.

"Sir, if that happens, the Imperial Navy will pay a heavy price." Iser said, "The Imperial Fleet is almost helpless when facing the Battle Moon. It has been affected by the gravity device on the Battle Moon before it even gets close.

A more fragile warship will even be directly torn apart by the chaotic gravity storm."

"Sir, I beg you to think twice. It is not that we are afraid of death, but that the orcs' battle moon is too terrifying. Even if the imperial fleet pays a heavy sacrifice, it may not be able to break through the enemy's defense head-on."

Another naval admiral also spoke.

"Let the Raven Guard deal with it." The Raven Guard Captain, Verano, who had remained silent just now, said, "The empire's naval power is precious, and it is not worth wasting it on the orcs."

"Indeed." Corvu agreed not to waste the power of the Imperial Navy.

"Are you all worried that the navy will not be able to defeat the Battle Moon??" Guilliman looked around at everyone and asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir. Judging from the empire's many battlefield records, the empire's navy really has no way to defeat the battle moon. Each time, it relies on the suicidal attacks of various battle groups to paralyze the battle moon."

The captain of the Macragge's Glory, Brahe, also spoke.

He also disagreed with the idea of ​​the Primarch confronting the Battle Moon head-on.

Sicarius did not speak. He noticed that Guilliman did not show any anger because of everyone's opposition.

On the contrary, he quite enjoyed everyone's doubts at this moment.

"My lord, perhaps you should explain the reason." Sicarius said, "Share your wisdom with us. There must be a deep meaning behind this."

"With your strategic wisdom, you will never make such a decision of throwing eggs against rocks."

As soon as Sicarius said these words, everyone woke up from a dream.

From his awakening to the present, the reforms and various technological innovations carried out by the original body, as well as the successive victories he has achieved on the battlefield, all represent that his wisdom is unparalleled by ordinary people.

Now, uncharacteristically, a naval fleet whose strength cannot match that of the Orcs is required to confront the Battle Moon head-on.

Quite unusual.

They just thought that the Primarch didn't know much about the Orcs' battle moon.

After all, he had never participated in the battle against the orcs on the moon.

But now that I think about it, something seems wrong.

The Primarch had never made a mistake and could not have misjudged such information.

"Sir, do you have any other means by which the naval fleet can destroy the Battle Moon?"

Corvu's tone was confused. He really couldn't imagine what kind of thing could help the naval fleet defeat the Battle Moon on the frontal battlefield.

Other chapter leaders, naval generals, army generals, nuns, knight family leaders and many other imperial heroes all looked at Guilliman.

There was confusion in their eyes.

I don't understand why the Primarch was so insistent on letting the navy fight that battle.

Guilliman did not answer their questions, but turned his head and looked at the astropath Roshan beside him.

"Can I ask how long it will take?"

Wearing a light-colored robe and having a thin build, Luo Shan, an Astropath in charge of Macragge's Glory, showed a rare smile.

"We are very close, sir. Once we arrive, the latest news will appear in your database as soon as possible."

"what on earth is it?"

After hearing the conversation between the original body and the astropath Roshan, Phiklis, who had been silent all this time, also looked confused.

"The existing naval fleet cannot fight against the Battle Moon, but what if the navy has ships that can destroy a planet with one cannon? Can they destroy the Battle Moon?"

Guilliman showed a teasing smile and revealed a small mystery to everyone, allowing them to see a part of the answer.

"Sir, this!!" Brah was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know how to express the many emotions in his heart.

Because of the original body's words, confusion, curiosity, and suspicion were all mixed together.

A ship that can destroy a planet with one shot??

If such a weapon really exists, then the Navy is indeed qualified to fight against the Battle Moon.

But is there really such a ship?

Why has he never seen such a terrifying ship, or even heard of it?

"Master of the Forge, does the Mechanicus have such a weapon??"

Chapter Master Corvu looked at the Foundry General of the Charlton Sector, Keren, and asked.
