Chapter 265: Light and Darkness, the Essence of the Subspace

Vigilance Star.

In the Saint Port of the Hyperion Sector.

Under the sudden attack of hundreds of demon engines, the upper area of ​​the entire hive city has turned into a sea of ​​fire.

On the top of the spires of each battle node, the Chaos Space Marines of the Hell Raptor are like hunting falcons, observing the battlefield on the ground with interest, and finding the right time to use the mobility given by the jetpack to launch a swift raid on the weaker Astra Militarum positions and the besieged defense turrets.

In just a few hours, one-third of the entire upper hive area has fallen into the control of the Chaos forces. As the vanguard of the Black Legion, the Raptors occupied the key broadcast nodes of the hive city and began to broadcast decadent music that could corrupt the will to billions of survivors in the hive area, attempting to use this method to gradually disintegrate the Empire's resistance in this important node.

Along with the roaring noise of the power backpack when it was activated, the dull sound of bombs firing came from the magnificent hall of the Skyhawk Council.

In a flash, Haken, known as the World-Taker, held the Hell Spear that spewed Chaos Fire and charged towards Calgar, the Chapter Master of the Ultramarines. As the flames flashed in the corridor, the Ultramar Gauntlet launched a counterattack and successfully repelled the vicious raptor just as the spear was about to pierce the heart.

Soon, as several company commanders arrived at the scene for support, facing the siege of the Ultramarines, the trapped Chaos Raptor did not seem to care about it. After re-aiming the spear in the direction of Calgar.

"You can't change the fate of this planet. It has become an obstacle in the Warmaster's plan, and I will personally remove this nail for him."

The traitor's voice was amplified by the sound array in his throat. The weird sound emitted by just hearing one word seemed to sting the ears of loyal people, making people feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

In response, Calgar just responded with a voice full of disdain.

"Don't you know yet? Abaddon is dead. The people of the Ash Alliance killed him and the Spirit of Vengeance has become history forever."

Who would have thought that when hearing this, the traitor in front of him burst into an unreasonable laugh.

"Do you naively think that it is enough to kill him in that way?"

The traitor's voice sounded full of sarcasm, as if everything was under his control.

"Those little accidents can't stop the plan at all. No one can stop us. You can't do it, and the Pseudo-Emperor can't do it. Even the Ash Alliance will only have the same result. Victory must belong to the Warmaster, and this galaxy will eventually be like this!"

These words obviously angered the Ultramarines at the scene. However, when a company commander swung the power sword in his hand and chopped at the opponent from behind, the next moment, the traitor dodged the sudden attack from behind at a speed that even the Chapter Master Calgar almost couldn't react to, and then raised his spear to almost instantly force back and injure another Ultramarines who tried to hold a sword.

At the same time, facing the siege of several company commanders, he still had the upper hand. This situation naturally aroused Calgar's vigilance. As the battle progressed, several Chaos Raptors landed from the broken ceiling to the center of the battlefield.

"My power comes from the blessing of the gods. In my eyes, you are not worth mentioning now!"

In this arrogant provocation, Haken holding the Spear of Hell launched an attack in the direction of Calgar again. As the highest commander of the Empire in the Vigilance Star Zone, in his opinion, as long as he can get rid of this man in front of him, the victory of the Black Legion will inevitably be a foregone conclusion.

However, at the moment when the two sides were about to contact again, a plasma ball flashing with a dazzling halo suddenly appeared in Haken's sight at this time, passing over the left shoulder of Calgar, the captain of the war, and rushed towards his face at a high speed.

This attack forced the traitor to activate his jetpack and make an emergency dodge in mid-air. Just as he landed again, Haken noticed that several unknown Astartes, who were as tall as the original bodies and wearing silver-gray power armor, had appeared at the end of the corridor of the parliament hall.

In the center of those silver-armored giants, a group of unknown objects flashing with silver light suddenly attracted Haken's attention. The light was like the stars in the night, flashing but not dazzling.

At the same time, a shadow that could not be dispelled by the light was following behind the unknown object. Through it, it seemed that countless twisting and painful figures were following closely behind the unknown object, like thousands of ghosts hiding in the night.

At the moment of looking at the unknown object, Haken could clearly feel that the connection between him and the four gods had become weak, as if he was suppressed and shielded by another force, which made him suddenly have a bad premonition.

The next moment, while his Chaos Raptors were still fighting with the Ultramarines present, after dodging another round of attacks from Calgar, Haken started the jet engine again and then smashed through the glass in the corridor, letting his body fall freely towards the lower area of ​​the hive city amidst bursts of arrogant laughter.

Due to the sudden withdrawal of the leader, the Chaos Space Marines left at the scene were obviously no match for a group of company commanders. After hastily leaving behind seven bodies, the assassination operation against the Imperial command officially ended with the failure of the traitors.

With the fall of the last Chaos Space Marine, at the same time, the communication channel of the Calgar warband leader suddenly received an emergency communication from the command center. According to the content, the reinforcements from the Ash Alliance have now successfully arrived at the battlefield of the Vigilant Star.

And after the Alliance Fleet, there will be a full nine companies from the Blood Angels and a Gothic Fleet led by Admiral Speyer.

371 warships of various types, with a total of 880,000 ground combatants, the arrival of this new force is undoubtedly a timely help for the increasingly chaotic war situation on Vigilant Star.

When he heard the news, Calgar couldn't help but look at the team coming from behind. In the center of those silver-armored Astartes of unknown war groups, there was a human youth wearing a black robe, giving people a strange feeling.

Intuition told the old war group leader that the man might be the legendary Lord of Ashes.

A Primarch had specifically instructed before departure that a special existence needed to be carefully dealt with
