Chapter 520 'It is necessary to have a good talk with my father.'
The ground war is raging.
Even though the Chaos Army and the Salamanders had lost the Ascension Primarch, they still relied on their numerical advantage to fight hard against the approaching 10,000 Imperial Guards and the nearly 120,000 Sun Auxiliary Army.
One-on-one is an instant kill.
But against a hundred, although the end result is still the victory of the Imperial Army, the Chaos and Salamanders sides have inexhaustible soldiers.
It seems that Leon's previous inference was correct, and there are indeed more Chaos Astartes hidden in different dimensions.
Not only that, when the main universe launched an expedition against the zero-three universe, the remnants of the New Human Empire, knowing that the defeat was certain and escaping into a different space, also used the portal to re-enter the physical universe.
See this.
Magnus, who was on the flagship of the Imperial Army, made a prompt decision and ordered the fleet to carry out saturation bombing. The aviation and centurion formations were responsible for cover to ensure that all ground forces could withdraw from Sanosche.
Because if this consumption continues, a small place like Sanos will become an apocalyptic battlefield and a new "meat grinder"...
Of course, the Human Empire defines the apocalypse level as the enemy must have at least 300 million combatants on the surface of a planet.
Moreover, for every thousand enemies, there is one individual who can threaten the auxiliary army, and for every one hundred thousand, there is an individual who is not weaker than the Astartes.
There are currently a rough estimate of 1.5 million Chaos Astartes on the surface of Sanoschi. This alone is enough to determine it to be an apocalypse-level war.
Even the Forbidden Army faces a considerable degree of life threat on the Apocalypse battlefield where traitors and demons are rampant.
On the Chaos side, no matter how many people die, they won't feel bad, but if one of the Forbidden Army and the Sun Auxiliary Army is missing, Sui Bian will feel "heartbroken" for a long time.
Although Magnus knew that his father was sitting on the golden throne and watching Thanosche's every move, Magnus still did not want his father to worry too much.
soon.
As the retreat order was issued, Constantine, Lyon and others who were originally stranded on the surface, as well as the commanders and lieutenants of various units, all acted efficiently.
When the Chaos side realized that humans actually chose to retreat, they naturally thought of the next "strike" from the Imperial Army fleet, and so they also ran towards the portal.
However, the physical bodies have long since been destroyed, and Ares, Achilles and Hercules, who are ghosts, are blocking the portal to "take the rear".
After all the ground forces have completed their evacuation, moved away from low-Earth orbit, and returned to their respective ships one by one...
Flagship of the Custodes fleet.
Inside the bridge of the Fearless.
Magnus, who unfolded his helmet and put away the Blade of Wisdom and the Scepter of Wisdom, was standing behind the large porthole, staring at Thanosche, who had a large number of demons and Chaos Astartes remaining on the surface.
Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the original body, who was not good at melee combat, were suddenly filled with a pale pink light. He raised his right hand and gestured towards Sanosche through the porthole with his five fingers stretched out.
When Magnus closed the five fingers of his right hand and made a fist gesture, the planet with a diameter of 14,000 kilometers disappeared out of thin air.
There was no violent explosion, no "shattering of heaven and earth", Sanosche just disappeared into the universe.
In fact, it was Magnus who pulled Thanos into the stasis space he created.
Those hundreds of millions of demons and tens of thousands of Chaos Astartes who did not have time to retreat to the other space were also temporarily stuck in a state of time stagnation, unless Magnus cut Thanos and released him back to the physical universe.
The reason why he did this was to use the demons and Chaos Astartes as experimental materials to be given to the Plague Doctor who was boarding a transport plane heading towards the flagship of the Fearless.
Yu Gong, the plague doctor can find out why the salamander has undergone qualitative changes.
In private, Plague Doctor is also one of their original body boy's many mentors in their youth. No matter what, they must prepare some "meeting gifts".
In addition, Magnus is eager to study the ruins on Thanos, especially the "return"-shaped portal beneath the earth's surface that can connect the physical universe and alien space.
If the research is thorough, maybe the human empire can master the technology that allows them to enter and exit different spaces at will without releasing large-scale psychic spells.
As for Ares, Achilles, and Hercules who assisted in the capture of Vokan, before he dragged Thanos into the stagnation space, he allowed these three heroic souls to return to the Sea of Souls to continue sleeping.
Resolve all conflicts "single-handedly".
Magnus turned around, causing the cloak behind him to flutter, as if...
Both the original body and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army like to show some "chic" actions unintentionally, but after thinking about it carefully, Sui Bian also has this habit, and everything is relieved.
"Sir."
Seeing Magnus coming to the center of the bridge, a civilian member of the Solar Auxiliary Army reported: "The doctor has boarded the ship and is currently using the rail train to go to the special cage where the Chaos Primarch is imprisoned."
"Thank you for reminding."
Magnus nodded to the civilian member, and then said to everyone present:
"Inform your commander-in-chief Constantine that we are ready to start the wormhole engine at any time and head to the low-Earth orbit of Holy Terra to wait for the main force of the expeditionary force."
"Yes, sir."
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you all."
Magnus always maintained a modest attitude and directly turned on the armor's transmission device. As the blue light flashed past, his nearly five-meter giant figure also disappeared from the bridge.

…
at the same time.
The belly position of the Fearless.
The layout of a large cage was similar to that of the Moon Goddess-level cell where Asastye was temporarily imprisoned, but it was more spacious, brighter, and had the standard Umbrella style.
"Hoo...ho..."
His body was covered with bruises, but he was constantly healing and reborn. Wokan, who maintained the appearance of a dark fire dragon, was groaning in pain.
The physical beam developed by Administrator Technology tightly bound the limbs, neck, wings and head of Wokan, the dark fire dragon.
Coupled with the space compression of the restraining stance, Wokan, who was on the verge of death, completely lost his ability to fight and move, and was unable to move. Even his wings, which were burning with blazing fire, were forcibly extinguished, exposing the holes and shriveled original appearance.
now.
Magnus, who was no taller than Wokan's nostrils, was standing on the edge of the restraint position, quietly watching his brother who had "blood" but was already at odds with him in all aspects.
The fact that Emperor Zero Three is his father's counterpart in Universe Zero Three has long been spread among the Primarchs and Astartes.
Even among the public, some posters who were ridiculed as great gods by netizens also analyzed this and provided convenience for my father to establish a human empire in the main universe.
Of course, the truth about Emperor Lingsan's careful planning is limited to the Lingsan Empire and Sui Bian, and even the original body has no way of understanding it.
About Vulkan and Salamanders…
Magnus has almost completely stored the history books, biographies and other books of Universe 03 into the Earth Center Library of the Shield of Terra.
Therefore, he knows that this loyalist army should be regarded as the army that best meets the expectations of his father (Sui Bian) in Universe 03.
Excellent individual quality, good teamwork, good at melting weapons and fire-breathing weapons to destroy enemies, attaching great importance to technology, casting, and craftsmen are highly recognized and respected.
However, other legions also have these advantages. What really makes the Salamanders different is the special attitude of this group of giants with dark skin caused by the original gene towards mortal civilians.
(Including Wokan, all salamanders are not black, they just have dark skin.)
Salamander is willing to spend more time to listen to the demands of mortals who are loyal to the Empire and finally the Emperor, and if he can, he will lend a helping hand to these ordinary people.
Some books that should have been ordered to be destroyed after Horus Luperkar came to power, but remained in the Dark Sector (Conrad Curze was in charge), also recorded some salamanders, and even recorded them during the holidays.
, delivering gifts to the civilians stationed there.
Although the Ultramarines of Universe 03 also do not regard mortal civilians as "useless" and have a relatively friendly attitude, for the sake of glory and image, the Ultramarines generally do not interact too much with mortal civilians.
Therefore, after the expeditionary force disintegrated and the New Human Empire was defeated, when my father had a private chat with him and the other primarchs, he mentioned that the ten legions that created the main universe considered salamanders as one of their ideal targets.
.
Now…
What should have been the most ideal legion has become one of the most proud products of evil gods and demons, and the most friendly and peaceful Primarch has become such a corrupt and depraved evil dragon.
Magnus really felt sorry for him and wanted to understand why Volcan had ended up like this.
Whoa~——!
At this moment, he heard the metal gate behind him opening, and then he heard the iconic tone and emotion of "Ah~! What a perfect experimental subject~!"
Without turning around, Magnus knew that the plague doctor was here.
Soon, in order to cater to Umbrella's style, the plague doctor would wear a white coat and carry a black bag wherever he went. Moreover, when passing by Magnus, he would not forget to knock Magnus's chest with his right hand.
Arm Armor, smiled and said:
"Hey, young man, what are you worried about?"
"Nothing, doctor." Magnus shrugged his shoulders, watching the plague doctor directly "get into" the restraint position, and then "unhurriedly" walked to the right side of Vulcan's head.
"Huh~huh~."
As the familiar little tune sounded, the plague doctor took off the small bag and placed it on the ground, while taking out an extra large scalpel with a length of one meter from it.
Regarding this.
Magnus was used to it.
It's obviously just a shoulder bag that can hold a few notebooks at most, but it can take out items of various sizes, shapes, and weights, or even living things.
Among the mysteries that he and his brothers wanted to know most since they were young, the Plague Doctor's satchel was definitely in the top five.
Even my father was very curious, and even complained about the "fourth-dimensional pocket", "What a different kind of Tinkerbell..." and other words.
"Chi la!!" The blade smoothly opened the solid scales and rough skin.
"Roar!!" and the dragon's roar caused by pain echoed throughout the prison.
I saw the plague doctor holding up the scalpel with one hand and accurately cutting off a piece of flesh and blood with dragon scales from Wokan's neck.
Ignoring Wokan's wails as he woke up, the plague doctor put the flesh and blood into the small bag, then took out a syringe, also about one meter long, and thrust it through the healing gap.
"Bah!"
"Roar……"
The dragon's roar sounded again, but this time it was weak.
Next.
The Plague Doctor took advantage of Wokan's ability to resurrect continuously and worked for two hours, making Wokan wail for two hours.
After collecting enough materials and observing Wokan's various reactions as data, the Plague Doctor was finally satisfied and put away all his tools.
Then he turned around and left, couldn't wait to walk out of the cage, and said to Magnus: "You can tell Mr. Sui to give this poor child a good time."
"Okay, doctor."
Magnus nodded lightly and used the quantum communication relay of the original body armor to complete a real-time conversation with his father in the meditation hall of the main universe.
After a while, the body and soul were in agony, and the wailing Wokan began to decay, and his huge body quickly disintegrated and collapsed.
However, Wokan's eyes, which were occupied by pink-purple light, became clear at this moment.
After showing a grateful look to Magnus who was standing "in front of him", Vulkan completely turned into a dragon skeleton, no longer alive, and even the physical beam and restraint stance were useless.
In this regard, Magnus's expression was unusually calm. He knew that his father had "washed away" the influence of Chaos and regained Vokan's soul.
"I think it won't be long before we are reunited, brother."
Looking at Noda's dragon skeleton, Magnus was already looking forward to the days of fighting side by side with Vokan.
Years and time are extremely insignificant concepts to the Primarchs who belong to the Eternal Ones.
But another drawback of immortality is that it will have a certain impact on temperament. Fortunately, today's human empire allows the original bodies and Astartes to participate in various entertainment projects. If they were unable to do anything or think about anything, the Zero Three Empire
…
Sooner or later, the galaxy and universe will be shrouded in flames of war.
Thinking of this, although Magnus is relatively "dumb" and is only interested in knowledge and the universe, the "family meeting" not long ago also made him, the original body who has not been out of the "house" for a long time, discover that brother
They have more and more intense verbal disputes than before, and they seem to be more stubborn?
It is precisely because he often stays next to his father and helps a group of brothers to identify targets without participating in any activities that he is able to keenly grasp this point.
It seems that after the expedition is over, it is necessary to have a good talk with my father.

…
Eighteen hours later.
An elite expedition fleet composed of two Homeworlds, more than seventy Lords of Glory and Moon Goddess, and nearly a thousand Titans and Olympus-class ships, assembled at the edge of the gravitational range of Holy Terra.
Among them, the Zeus class, which can be used as the flagship of most battalions, in this expedition fleet, only serves as a frigate for reconnaissance, maneuvering and other duties.
then.
The Lunar Goddess-class deployment matrix was the first to install a wormhole engine, and together it generated a wormhole with a diameter of about a thousand kilometers, allowing the expedition fleet to rush to the core of the Eye of Terror "in an instant".
