The long sword in Sanguinius's hand turned into a long sword shadow under the blessing of spiritual energy, cutting into pieces the traitors who were constantly attacking around her.
Neither the fallen space warriors nor the artillery fire could cause any harm to her, she was as majestic as a god!
"She has become stronger!" Demon Fulgrim opened his eyes wide with excitement, his dirty yellow body full of greed and jealousy. As he spoke, he stretched out his long purple tongue and licked his lips.
On the bridge of the Spirit of Vengeance, Horus looked at his former brother-turned-demon with disgust, and couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart.
"Damn devil."
But he doesn't intend to solve this problem now. Everything will have to wait until he kills the false emperor.
He took a long breath and turned his head. Looking at Sanguinius, who was shining brightly above the ground and blocking the outside of the city with an invincible attitude, he felt increasingly unwilling to do so.
Why does she have such an enviable talent? In just over a hundred years, she has grown to such an extent that she may be able to fight against the emperor.
And myself...
Thinking of this, Horus' face became even more ugly. If he couldn't defeat Sanguinius, what about the Emperor?
After entering the solar system, it only took his army one month to break through four lines of defense and reach Terra. The smooth progress made him feel relaxed and happy for a time.
But everything changed since the Battle of Terra. For a whole month, they didn't even enter the walls of the Royal Palace.
The invincible Sanguinius alone blocked all their ground attacks, and reinforcements loyal to the Emperor behind them were gradually approaching.
What's more important is that until now, the false emperor has not even shown his face.
As long as the dream demon in his heart was not defeated, Horus' heart would not be at peace.
That father-like existence would oppress his nerves like a nightmare, keeping him awake at night, even if he didn't die.
A decision must be made as soon as possible.
Horus decided to make concessions to those gods of chaos once again, and as for the consequences...
"After I ascend the throne of Terra, I will solve the trouble of Chaos!"
With unprecedented self-confidence, he has absolute confidence in himself. Even if he is forced to make a deal with Chaos due to the situation, he firmly believes that one day he will be able to drive them all away and build an empire that is better than the current one!
But before that.
"Fulgrim, it's your turn!"
…
On the bridge of the Dark Mechanicum's Ark, Linn sat here, watching quietly as several Primarchs, including Fulgrim, took their fallen heirs to the Throne World.
They brutally cleaned the cities outside the palace, destroying void shield generators one after another, and Terra's shield system was failing.
The rebels captured Terra's spaceport. More troops were deployed, and more heavy weapons were brought to the front lines.
And the two Titan legions of the Dark Mechanicus finally set foot on the land of Terra.
This would be fatal to Terra's defenders!
Every battlefield where the Titan Legion appears is an apocalypse-level war, not to mention Terra in front of us!
Except for the star-killing weapons that no one dared to use, whether it was the number of people participating in the war, the scale of weapons and equipment mobilized, the number of Titans invested, or the number of fleets in orbit, the intensity of the war had far exceeded any previous war.
This is the most special planet in the galaxy, the origin of mankind, the capital of the Human Empire, and the "Throne Place" where the Emperor resides.
And now, the rebels are killing as much as they want on this sacred ground.
The World Eaters, who had lost their original body, had ignored the Warmaster's orders and were almost completely addicted to the desire to kill. They built a towering pyramid-shaped altar with severed heads in the square in front of the palace.
The once noble Third Legion, the "Emperor's Children", also led by Fulgrim, captured and tortured civilians in the surrounding cities, engaging in a deformed carnival.
At the same time, they gradually lost their human appearance.
As the killing and filth became more and more crazy, and all kinds of filthy spells and altars were rampant, the demons of subspace finally tore apart the barrier of reality and appeared in the "Throne World".
"The divine machine is in place!" The Emperor-class Titan of the Death Skull Legion asked Lin En in the Ark for instructions.
These behemoths armed to the teeth are the crystallization of the empire's industrial civilization so far. They are also the supreme manifestation of the power of the God of All Machines in the human world.
The monks of the Dark Mechanicus are still praying devoutly according to tradition.
"All preparations have been completed."
The heavy and distant sound of the big clock echoed softly.
The symbol of Ohm's Messiah will take to the battlefield today.
It would sway the land of Terra with raging fury.
…
The invincible "angel" on the battlefield is still a person after all. She can defeat any enemy who appears in front of her, but she cannot take care of a palace the size of the entire plateau.
The rebels opened up eight positions around the palace. The city wall was finally breached, and the rebels and demons surged in.
But the loyal warriors still persevere, and the precious Imperial Guards also appear on the battlefield. They are all using their lives to stop the traitors.
The deeper they went into the palace, the more fierce the resistance of the soldiers became.
The huge palace has become a battlefield that is 10,000 times more efficient than a meat grinder. Life cannot even be counted here.
The rebels relied on their huge military strength and air support to advance steadily bit by bit.
The city walls were torn down and the strongholds were uprooted. Finally, they arrived at the Emperor's residence, the "Gate of the End".
Kabanda, the great demon of Khorne who was once expelled by Sanguinius, appears.
She was expelled again. And this time faster.
This stubborn beast wanted to talk a few words like last time, but Sanguinius obviously didn't want to listen to its nonsense. The clear sword shadow in her hand cut off the arrogant demon in just a few breaths, and the rest of the demon was cut off.
His majestic and holy appearance and unparalleled strength made all those watching the battle change their expressions.
Fulgrim put away the greed in his eyes, shrank his head and retreated into the crowd.
The Custodes and Space Marines defended this place at any cost, and the rebels could no longer advance. As the combat space was compressed, the forces invested by the offensive and defensive sides gradually reached a balance. Although this balance is extremely delicate and fragile.
On the "Spirit of Vengeance", Horus looked very different from two months ago. He was taller and more gloomy. Evil chaotic energy shone around him. Scarlet eyes were full of hatred.
with madness.
He has received news that the fleets of the Ultramarines and Dark Angels have appeared in the solar system and will be here soon.
If they rescued the Emperor, Horus would get chills thinking about the consequences.
Now that the attack has been frustrated, he must speed up the progress. Even if it means taking risks, he must win quickly!
