Chapter 713 Raid

[Time: -52.30.18]

A mistake.

Watching the Inquisition fleet heading towards the Calth array, Erebus gritted his teeth. He saw the Eisenstein following the Inquisition fleet. It can be expected that they will inform Guilliman of Horus' betrayal. If it was Dorn who was here, then Erebus was confident that he would not be persuaded. Dorn's head was as hard as the marble under the Terra Palace. He would never believe such nonsense.

But what about Guilliman?

Erebus's face was gloomy. The appearance of the Inquisition fleet was a variable he could not imagine, especially before the plan was launched. Their appearance changed everything. Now Erebus had only one choice, that is, to change the plan immediately, directly activate the orbital array of Calth, and launch an attack on the Inquisition fleet. This may cause a certain degree of chaos. After all, the Calth orbital space station is their biggest trump card. They have entered the name of the Eightfold into the Calth network. As long as it has enough power, it can corrupt everything.

"My lord."

At this moment, his subordinates brought Erebus another bad news.

"Our ground forces on Calth have been surrounded by the Ultramarines. They claim that the exercise has been cancelled and demand that the Word Bearers leave Calth immediately."

"……………………"

Hearing this news, Erebus's face was as dark as water. The thing he was most worried about had happened, but fortunately, as of now... they were already one step too late.

"Lord Erebus, a communication request from the Primarch."

"Pick it up."

Accompanied by Erebus's order, Guilliman's holographic image soon appeared in front of Erebus. He looked calm and looked at Erebus calmly.

"Lord Guilliman, I can't understand your actions."

Looking at Guilliman, Erebus spoke.

"I would like to ask you to tell me, what did we Word Bearers do to deserve such treatment? We have come here from afar to repair the relationship between us, which is also the intention of the Warmaster. But now, you have driven us out of Calth and even asked our troops to withdraw? What did we do to deserve such treatment from you?"

"Because you betrayed the Emperor and made peace with the evil existence of the Warp, isn't this reason enough, Erebus?"

For a moment, Erebas wanted to defend himself, he tried to dispel Guilliman's doubts, but when he saw Guilliman's firm eyes, Erebas's thoughts suddenly changed.

"It seems that you already knew it."

"Yes, Erebas, I already knew your plan, the Clock Tower, the Evil Code, I don't know what Lorgar is crazy about, and why Horus betrayed the Emperor. But since you have betrayed the Emperor, then you will have only one end."

"Of course you don't understand, Guilliman."

At this moment, Erebas finally threw away his previous disguise and revealed his vicious true face.

"You have no idea what you are fighting against. The galaxy is changing. It will turn upside down. The false emperor will fall from his throne. He will fall and no one can bring him back to life."

"You............!"

Hearing Erebas's nonsense, Guilliman's face darkened, but Erebas became more and more excited.

"Listen to me, Guilliman. You think you are smart, wise, and well-informed. But it has already begun. The galaxy is changing. You will die, the false emperor will die, and others will die. Because you are all too stupid to see the truth. The empire is over. It is collapsing and it is about to burn. The false emperor is over. His evil dream is over. Horus is rising!"

"Horus?"

"That's right. The wolf god Horus is rising! You have no idea of ​​his nobility! He surpasses all of us. Those who follow him will prosper and those who go against him will perish! He will clear all obstacles! He will rule everything! He will achieve what the false emperor can never do!"

"So... Horus really fell?"

"Horus to The cruel and tyrannical false emperor has started a struggle. Guilliman, accept this and you will die peacefully. The Wolf God Horus will overthrow the corrupt empire and punish the violent tyrant. Horus is not alone. Primarchs Lorgar, Perturabo, Fulgrim, Magnus, Mortarion, Korze, Alpharius... will all gather under the banner of the Wolf God. Your loyalty is worthless, Guilliman, our loyalty comes from the blood oath! "

"……………………

Hearing Erebus's words, Guilliman's face was as gloomy as ice. Although he had heard these from the Inquisition, the persuasiveness and authenticity of Erebus, the captain of the First Company of the Word Bearers, were obviously greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Erebus was getting crazier and crazier. His eyes were red and he stared at Guilliman with a smug look.

"Besides, you are all alone. Your brothers are all dead, Leman Russ, Corax, Vulcan... No one will come to help you. They are all dead, slaughtered like livestock! Dead!"

"Nonsense!"

At this moment, Guilliman finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer.

"These are all lies!"

"No, this is not a lie, Guilliman, you know. You have studied every Primarch, you know their strengths and weaknesses, it's theoretically possible, Guilliman, it's theoretically possible. You know, this is possible, this is a possible result!"

"…………"

Guilliman took a step back. Although he was mentally prepared and able to accept his brother's betrayal, the deaths of other brothers still shocked him. Erebus looked at Guilliman with a sneer, appreciating He felt confused and shocked at this moment.

"I came here to destroy you and your Ultramarines, because you are the only force in the Emperor's camp that can possibly stop Horus. You are too dangerous to survive, and I am here. Just to make sure you don’t survive.”

"...You have no chance."

Hearing this, Guilliman also came back to his senses.

"Your soldiers have been surrounded, and your tricks have no effect. Your fleet is within the range of the orbital defense system. With just one order from me, everything about you will be destroyed."

"I don't think so. You have no idea what you're up against, Guilliman. You don't understand."

"hehe."

However, at this moment, suddenly, a chuckle rang out, and then Erebas saw Duanmu Huai wearing a battle armor appearing in front of him.

"You know? Looking at you now, it reminds me of a country bumpkin who just came to the big city and was deceived by gangsters and gangsters. The same ridiculousness, the same ignorance, the same stupidity, the same naivety. "

"you…………!"

Facing Duanmu Huai, Erebas instinctively wanted to retort, but then he suddenly discovered two doubts.

First, he did not open another holographic communication image.

Second, this guy is too close to me.

The next moment, Duanmu Huai's iron fist whizzed past and hit Erebas directly in the face. The cold steel came into contact with Erebas' cheek, breaking his skin, crushing his muscles, and breaking his cheek bones. Then, a powerful impact hit him, like a hammer. He knocked Erebus down hard to the ground.

Erebus threw himself to the ground, opened his mouth and tried to shout, but his entire mandible was shattered, and the bones on his face were also shattered into pieces, mixed with his torn flesh, only Able to make inarticulate shouts.

"So, if you kneel on the ground and scold those subspace bastards, you will only gain this level of power."

Duanmu Huai moved his body, and then threw a hammer with his backhand, directly hitting a Word Bearer behind who was trying to fight back. The flaming war hammer directly smashed the Word Bearer through, and then his body was In an instant, it suddenly turned into a pile of dust similar to volcanic ash and spread out like magic.

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say to you."

Duanmu Huai raised his hands high, the warhammer appeared in his hands again, and then he smashed it hard at Erebas.

At this time, the other Word Bearers also reacted. They raised their weapons and roared towards Duanmu Huai. Unfortunately, it was too late.

The war hammer fell and hit Erebas' head. His head was smashed open like a watermelon, and then turned into ashes in the bursting flames. But this was not over yet. The dark flames penetrated downwards. , and then exploded - in just an instant, the entire bridge exploded directly, and the shining fire and shock wave directly tore apart the bridge of Erebus's ship, like a toy model smashed by a naughty child.

“This is not the end————!!”

Erebus's wail echoed through the communication lines, like a ghost's last curse.

"Guilliman! You cannot fight against the gods! My Primarch will lead his army to completely destroy you and your world! Let them become sacrifices for the coming of the great gods... Everything you do is a desperate struggle, and in the end Your soul will be in eternal pain..."

Erebus's shouting ended here. The roar and flames of the explosion wiped away the last remnant of his soul, and the communication line returned to calm, as if the vicious remnants of the sound that echoed there just now were just an illusion.

"………………"

Guilliman stood on the bridge with a cold face, glaring fiercely at the terminal in front of him. The anger and cold aura exuding from his body made people afraid to approach the original body. But luckily, Marius came over at this time.

"Sir, there are reports from the ground that the Word Bearers are attacking them and they are requesting orders."

"...Open fire and completely annihilate them."

Guilliman did not look back, and his tone was very calm, as if he was talking about today's weather, but everyone present could hear the burning anger behind his calm tone.

"The Word Bearers fleet has left its berth and is heading towards the Calth orbital array. They have cut off communications and ignored our warnings, sir..."

"No need to ask me again."

Guilliman waved his hand.

"The Word Bearers have betrayed the Empire and the Emperor. From now on, we will mark the Word Bearers as rebels. They are our enemies and we will destroy them completely..."

After saying this, Guilliman turned and left.

"I need to go back to my room to think about some issues, and then I'll leave it to you."

After giving the order, Guilliman left the bridge and passed Duanmuhuai. He nodded to Duanmuhuai and then walked to the other side of the corridor.

"So, Guilliman is going back to crying?"

Duanmu Huai carried the war hammer, turned his head and looked at Guilliman's back, then asked - of course, no one answered his question.

An hour later, the battle ended, the Word Bearers army on the surface was annihilated, and the Word Bearers fleet in the universe was also destroyed by the orbital array.

But everyone knows that this is not the end, but the beginning. Lorgar, the Lord of the Seventeenth Legion, is leading the army to the 500th world of Ultramara. He will bring other brothers and a murderous fleet to completely destroy this imperial pearl and let it be covered in dust.

There are still 50.16.34 Terra hours before they arrive.
