Chapter 242: The Rise of the Primarch: The Rise of Guilliman

Sirens reverberated throughout the city, and scarlet police lights flashed inside and outside the headquarters of Extreme Fortress. The entire headquarters was now in chaos, with everyone running back and forth in a hurry. Noises and curses were heard one after another. Before that, the darkness The high morale upon the arrival of the angel fleet suddenly fell to the bottom.

Amidst the chaotic noise, Mikael rushed to the balcony outside. The company commander pressed his hand on the stone handrail and looked at the sky above his head. Eisenstein also strode out of the command post, and he also raised his head. Looking at the brighter firelight in the clouds overhead, the thing was approaching rapidly.

"Knock it down! Shoot it down!" Mikael shouted behind him. The officers in the command headquarters immediately nodded and turned around. He immediately switched out all public communication channels and did not even bother to encrypt direct full-channel communication.

"Attention all air defense units in the City of Glory, focus fire on the enemy ships that hit them! Repeat, focus all fire!" The officer shouted and passed the order. After seeing this, Eisenstein turned his head and looked around the City of Glory. , that order was delivered and executed like lightning, or in other words, all the air defense units would have done the same thing without that order.

All the ground-based anti-aircraft guns turned around, the turbolaser cannon group and the twin fortress rail guns all turned around. The heavy gun mount platform turned around them, and the high gun barrel slowly lifted up and pointed straight to the sky. In an instant, dense All the artillery fire was fired into the sky, towards the rapidly falling thing.

Eisenstein raised his head and looked at the thing. The giant thing that broke through the dark clouds descended rapidly with a strong impact airflow. Countless artillery fires rose from the city and bombarded it. The dense explosion instantly lit up the entire cloud layer.

The rapid-fire cannon aimed a series of rapid fire at the sky. The officer waved his saber and pointed at the sky and yelled. The gunner sitting on the iron operating chair also held the launch trigger and howled and fired at the thing that occupied the entire radar screen. The shells were fired. The curtains gathered into a dense fire net in the air.

On the side of the rapid-fire gun position, the huge golden multi-barreled turbo laser cannon slowly turned, the building-like barrel was slowly raised, and the powerful turbo laser muzzle was aimed at the clouds and lit up instantly, the scarlet The laser beam instantly attacked the battleship that broke through the clouds.

The pitch-black Legion warship was burning with raging flames. Its void shield had long been broken by Macragge's intensive anti-aircraft fire. Countless shells and lasers struck it, inch by inch, piece by piece. His steel body was torn and shattered.

The deck was cracked with countless gaps, and fire and blood spurted out from them. The burning flames burned and spread from all the battleship windows and the inside of the building. The raging fire that was pulled out spread from the atmosphere to the top of the city, like a falling star. Meteor's tail.

Mikael looked at the battleships crashing into the city's void shield. The captain pointed at the battleships above his head and raised a thunderous voice. He wanted to use the loud roar of the Astartes to overwhelm all the noise around him, "Destroy it! Let the turbolaser take out its thrusters!"

"Theodosi II! The company commander ordered to kill the enemy ship's propeller and shoot immediately!" the air defense array coordination officer shouted into the microphone. No one over there responded to him, and no one needed to respond to him. The roaring turbine mines outside Shooting a cannon is the best response.

Theodosi No. 2 heavy-duty turbo laser cannon fired a striking beam of light towards the sky. The six muzzles of the six-gun gun flashed at the same time, and the six heaven-destroying laser beams converged and shot towards the side of the fallen ship. rear.

The laser beam instantly penetrated the tail of the battleship. The laser directly penetrated all the decks on the rear side. All the armor layers penetrated the propulsion array diagonally. The laser beam penetrated directly from the side of the main thruster. Like a cavalryman being stabbed diagonally by a spear.

The main thruster exploded rapidly, and its explosion effect was transmitted to all the jets in a chain reaction. A violent explosion occurred at the end of the entire battleship. The plasma flames from the thruster engulfed half of the battleship. The battleship began to lose its balance and tilted towards the shield. shield.

The anti-aircraft array on the ground opened fire quickly, and the roaring anti-aircraft fire net tore through the sides of the entire battleship in an instant. As the fortress's cannon roared, a shell weighing several tons smashed into the waist of the center of the battleship, and the shell penetrated the hull structure. Then it exploded internally, and the violent explosion tore the entire battleship in half.

After the explosion, the battleship, which was burning with raging flames, split into two sections and spun down. Countless wreckage hit the shield like meteors first, and then the main part hit the flashing shield at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, A bright light swallowed up everything.

Mikael and Eisenstein turned their heads to avoid the light, which engulfed half of the city, shrouding all the buildings in pale white light, followed by a loud noise and a loud explosion.

Eisenstein turned his head and stared at the giant mushroom cloud rising from the shield. It was the effect of the explosion of the cruiser's plasma reactor. The devastating interception firepower and impact caused a fusion explosion in the battleship's reactor, which was equivalent to The combined destructive explosion of hundreds of nuclear bombs rose directly from the shield.

Mikael also looked at the explosion. He was surprised at first and then happy, "That's great. The void shield is not broken. I think we can make it."

"Mikael! There's another one!" Eisenstein yelled and pointed to the sky. Mikael even raised his head and saw the second Chaos warship rushing out of the plasma fire storm, and the second warship crashing into the void shield. !

The Chaos warship rushed over the corpses of its comrades, stepped on the blood spilled in the sky, and rushed down rapidly. The ground-based anti-aircraft firepower and the outer Imperial ships tried to stop it with all their strength, but the suicide warship completely ignored the Imperial artillery fire and crashed into the place where its comrades had just exploded.

In an instant, there was another explosion, and the plasma reactor exploded again. The broken hull exploded from head to tail. Eisenstein knew that this time it was not because of artillery interception, but because those Chaos lunatics overloaded the reactor themselves! They used themselves as a missile!

The second Chaos warship hit the void shield, and the second explosion instantly shattered the top area of ​​the city's void shield. Two intertwined plasma nuclear explosion clouds rose into the sky. The shock wave of the explosion blew away the clouds, exposing the third warship that hit it right after it.

Three Chaos warships rushed towards the City of Glory in suicide attacks. The third warship rushed into the city from the gap created by the collision of the first two ships. The kilometer-long cruiser rushed into the city shield and quickly pulled up, but its huge size still failed to avoid the collision.

The back of the warship hit the city due to inertia, and large areas of buildings and structures were swept down one by one. The dust raised along the streets filled the whole city in an instant, but the warship also managed to barely pull up and flew forward at a very low range close to the surface of the city.

Eisenstein looked at the warship that broke into the city and flew level. It was attacked more powerfully than all the other warships. All the anti-aircraft guns and turbo laser guns fired at close range. The dense artillery fire flew towards the warship like raindrops. The short sweep made the barrage denser and faster, causing greater damage.

Explosions surged on the surface of the warship like raindrops, all parts were torn apart, and all the deck corridors sprayed sparks of explosions, but the Chaos warship was still moving forward, rushing towards the Grand Temple with black smoke and flames.

"It's going to hit the Grand Temple! Destroy it!" Mikael shouted to the command center behind him, and everyone immediately roared in all channels, and their roars turned into the Emperor's wrath and shot at the warship.

More fierce artillery fire tore its body apart, and six turbolaser cannons in the city aimed and fired at the same time. The gunners avoided those areas in order to avoid the explosion of the warship's reactor. The laser beams pierced the warship at all seven inches of the warship, paralyzing the warship's propulsion power in almost the blink of an eye.

The huge black battleship fell down, its thrusters all shut down, but it still relied on inertia to sail forward for a long distance. It raised its bow at the last moment before falling into the city, and raised its abdomen to shoot out a series of things. Those small things that spewed this flame flew densely towards the Grand Temple.

"That's the Deathclaw airdrop cabin!" Eisenstein exclaimed. He looked at the battleship before it fell, and shot out all the Space Marine landing cabins with its last breath. He couldn't help but sigh at the courage of the Chaos crew, but now is not the time to care about this!

"Marshal! Chaos is coming!" Eisenstein shouted at the communicator inside his power armor. He didn't know if his message could be delivered to Vito, but it didn't matter if he didn't say it, because the Deathclaw still smashed in!

Those blue spots of light smashed the windows of the temple one after another, crashed through the walls and doors and fell on the white ground. Vito looked at the death claws that smashed in like cannonballs. The landing cabin instantly smashed the ground from the hard base, and a huge shallow pit appeared in front of him.

But Vito didn't need to consider the damage to the ground, because it was likely that the temple had been renovated, because the hatches of the dozen or so death claws slowly lifted up, and after spraying white smoke, they instantly collapsed and slid open. As the hatches opened, dozens of traitors from the Black Legion filed out of them.

The war cry exploded with the shouting and killing, and the grenade guns began to roar at the same moment as the black-armored traitors stepped out of the hatch. The fierce bomb artillery fire bombarded the surrounding statues and walls, and powder and broken debris collapsed everywhere. This place must be renovated.

Vito looked at the traitors who were killed. Abaddon must have used his old tricks. He looked at the seven or eight veterans of the Legion wearing Terminator power armor who rushed out from the Deathclaw. Those power armors had long mammoth tusks, and the lightning claws flashed bright arcs in their palms.

The Terminator veterans led the charge, and behind them were countless black legion veterans wielding chain saw axes, swords and blasphemous weapons. They rushed over shouting and killing.

Vito watched them decisively draw the Phoenix Sword at their waists, and flames burned from the sword. Behind him, Calgar raised his iron fist and roared with thunder, "Protect the Father of Genes! Ultramarine, march for Macragge!"

Calgar shouted to the members of the Honor Guard around him to draw their weapons one after another. These veterans shouted and killed and rushed towards the Black Legion. The warriors of both sides fought in the center of the Great Temple.

Calgar glanced at Vito and then strode forward. The chapter commander's iron fist hit the visor of a traitor like a cannonball, and the traitor of the Black Legion flew out and hit the stone pillar. Calgar stood in the center of the battlefield, continuously pulling the trigger of the bolter on the power glove with his right hand, and his left hand was raised high with a war cry.

Sicarius also glanced at Bell and drew his power sword and rushed forward. The second captain rushed into the battlefield at lightning speed. He waved his sword and fought side by side with the veteran brothers of the Honor Guard. It must be said that he A good fight, and although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is indeed a powerful Chapter Champion Swordsman.

Bell and Loken turned to look at Vito, who nodded affirmatively to them. Almost instantly, Ragna rushed forward excitedly. He howled and plunged into the battlefield in the center of the temple. Lance Marshals Lotor and Amalric followed closely, joining the melee with power swords in hand.

After Loken nodded to Vito, he also rushed forward to join the battle. Olaf also followed Loken and rushed to the battlefield. The lightning released from his eyes began to flash from time to time in the battlefield, and the bright electric light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield. dome.

Bell did not join the chaotic melee. He picked up his blaster and jumped onto the collapsing ruins. His eyes were constantly locked on the enemy and the enemy in the melee through the sight, and he used his precise shooting skills to kill the entangled enemy and enemy soldiers. The enemy was shot, and as his fingers clicked, the bombs roared.

Celestine drew out the flaming sword and shook it fiercely to make it burn. She flew up and glanced at Vito before patting the shoulder of Captain Delantius, "Let's go, we have to stop them." ”

After saying that, Celestine flew towards the battlefield. She spread her wings above the chaotic battlefield, and the flickering light poured over the entire battlefield. The little angel waved the flaming sword to block a series of incoming bombs, and then she It flapped its wings violently in the air and appeared directly among the black legions like lightning. The flaming sword began to fight along with the arcs of the sun.

Delantius spun his halberd and headed toward the battlefield. Vito looked at the melee in front of the people and immediately turned to look at Caul and Celestine, "Continue what you should do, and we will buy you time. "

"Hurry up! There is not much time!" Vito said. After seeing Efreni and Caul nod in affirmation, he turned his wrist and rushed forward with the Phoenix Sword. Eldarad also advanced alongside him and sprinted behind him. around.

Vito looked at him jokingly, "Can you still fight? Aren't you a nervous stickman?" "To be honest, my dear friend, before I embarked on the path of prophet, I also learned A warrior’s way for a while.”

As Adarad spoke, he slowly pulled out the long knife hidden under his robe. He held the blade in his wrist and swung it to one side. The shining blade shone with a cold light under the flowing light, "I have always wanted to Find a chance to test and see how many combat skills I can remember."

Vito also laughed after hearing this. Golden arcs of lightning appeared on his body and his eyes looked straight ahead, "Then your chance has come today." Before Vito finished speaking, he kicked his legs suddenly and jumped up with a series of lightning bolts. , he held the hilt of the sword and looked at the traitor in front of him with sharp eyes like an eagle, the traitor who turned around to face him.

The flaming tip of the Phoenix Sword pierced his face armor, and the traitor fell backwards. Vito crouched on top of him and looked up at the several traitors standing in front of him. They all raised their hands one by one after seeing Vito. weapons.

Vito stood up slowly with a smile. He suddenly drew out the Phoenix Sword. Golden lightning burst out from his eyes, and the electric light and arc bombarded the ground. Vito smiled and watched the traitors in front of him holding the blade.

"Horus's bastards, today I will teach you how to behave on behalf of your father."

——

——

Efreni stepped onto the last step. She leaned on the curved corridor stairs and looked forward. The fierce fight between Astartes and Astartes was intensifying, with roaring chainsaws echoing bolters. Roaring in the hall, black and blue armors kept colliding together, swinging and slashing accompanied by shouts of killing.

Vito was right, this place had definitely been renovated. Efreni turned to look at Caul who was walking up. The huge body of the Mechanicus great sage finally climbed up the stairs with the help of countless mechanical iron feet. The suspended equipment cart behind him also slid onto the high platform.

"You have to start working, oil man. How long do we have after unlocking the stationary stance?" Ifreni asked, and Caul walked directly to the console on the side of the arc-shaped stationary stance energy field. The sacred console made of stone is spotless. Even after ten thousand years, all the silver buttons and golden levers on it are still the same as new.

Caul's mechanical tentacles came up from under the red robe. Efreni looked at the rotating mechanical tentacles. Caul then directly inserted it into the data interface of the console, and a series of words slid across his eyes. After the data flood, I reached out and pulled the switch.

As Caul's fully mechanized palm pulled down the golden lever, the still position surrounding the Son of Vengeance beside them completely lowered, and sacred hymns came from the surrounding loudspeakers, as the notes gradually rose. The flaming sword placed on Man's knees also burned normally, and the flames began to wave, which also meant that the static stance was completely gone.

"We only have one minute, now, let's start." Caul said as the red robe on his huge body lifted up around him. Efreni looked slightly surprised as countless mechanical arms stretched out from below, and the intricate mechanical tentacles and The arms wriggled on the ground and in the air, and at their roots was a huge mechanical drive that had no connection with humans at all.

Now it seems that Kaul only has the upper body, barely resembling a person, and his lower body is completely replaced by a huge mechanical torso. Countless mechanical arms and countless tools and instruments are stretched out from the huge, bloated mechanical body. Kaul has completely transformed himself into a factory.

One of Kaul's mechanical tentacles passed under Eveleni, who instinctively dodged to the side. Her vision followed the mechanical tentacles. The steel tentacles climbed up the surface of the equipment vehicle and suddenly drilled into a slot. Almost immediately, the sturdy equipment vehicle began to open one by one.

The locking points on the heavy protective armor layer were unlocked one by one, but all the red lights were lit up in rows, and then the carriage of the equipment vehicle flew up, and the heavy box stood diagonally behind it.

The heavy armor covers all slid to one side and opened. Eveleene looked at the armor that was larger than all the Space Marine power armors. She turned her head to look at Cawl behind her. The latter had already started working. The dense mechanical arms and tentacles began to work on Guilliman.

The armor worn by the Primarch was disassembled and opened layer by layer. All anchor points, buckle plates and armor layers were disassembled and opened in an orderly but extremely fast manner. Cawl looked at Guilliman in front of him. This process had been repeatedly calculated in his mind, simulated and perfected for a full ten thousand years. He had simulated millions of times and only this time could he complete the final work.

Eveleene looked at Cawl, and suddenly there was an explosion behind her. A plasma exploded in the air behind her. Eveleene immediately turned around and saw the void shield flashing in front of her. The flashing reactive defense shield took all the attacks.

"Fuck, since they installed a void shield here?" Eveleene said with a joking smile, but this is not surprising, right? The Ultramarines installed a void shield in front of the Primarch's static position, the last line of defense.

Evelyne watched the series of artillery fire, bolters, plasma and shoulder-fired missiles fired by the Black Legion traitors. They obviously noticed that Cawl still started working, and Calgar and his men were still desperately blocking them, so they planned to use long-range firepower to kill Guilliman.

But what they didn't know, and Evelyne didn't know, was that the Ultramarines built such a large wooden platform under the Primarch's feet, and the reason for making such an abrupt and strange thing was that a Titan-level void shield generator was installed inside the platform.

This kind of wood can effectively ensure internal ventilation, so that the Titan's void shield reactor can work stably, and now the void shield they installed that year has played a key role.

The dense artillery fire hit the shield but it was useless. The Black Legion traitor who had used up all his bullets took back his bolter and pulled out the magazine. He cursed and inserted a new magazine into the bolter, but he was knocked to the ground with a punch as soon as he raised his head.

Captain Calgar raised the muzzle of the bolter on his glove and shot him in the head. Calgar looked around and saw Vito wielding the Phoenix Sword to kill another traitor behind him. The lightning in his hand directly burned the man's right leg and forced him to kneel on the ground, and then Vito cut off his head with a sword.

"Kill these idiots who fired the gun!" Vito raised his sword and shouted. Celestine slid over his head and landed in the center of the Deathclaw drop pod to fire. The holy fire swept everywhere as the wings spread.

Behind Vito, Loken, Lancelot, and Amalric also rushed past him on both sides. They rushed into the long-range units of the Black Legion to interrupt their shooting. Vito stood in the chaos and looked around while the power sword was slashing. The fierce battle was still going on around him, but it seemed that the situation over there was going smoothly.

Vito looked at the high platform in the distance, and Calgar also looked over. They witnessed Caul's extremely fast equipment speed. The old armor of the original body was completely removed, and the fate armor on the equipment vehicle was replaced at an astonishing speed. Those huge armor accessories were worn synchronously with the coordination of Caul's countless arms.

The card slot was connected, locked and closed, and the life support system was quickly started under the operation of the mechanical tentacles. The golden armor was assembled in a very short time. Only the chest part had a gap that was not closed. It was reserved in advance and reserved for the last step.

Calgar stared at Eveleene climbing onto Guilliman's knees. She was much shorter than Guilliman, and she had to stand on his knees to be level with his head. Now Eveleene raised the old sword in her hand and aimed it at the gap, at Guilliman's heart.

"Damn it! I said I had to be beside them before they could do anything!" Calgar cursed and strode towards the platform. Vito wanted to stop him but was immediately involved in the battle. He could only watch Calgar knock away a group of enemy and friendly warriors and strode towards the platform.

Calgar roared and rushed towards that place. He looked at Eveleene who was still holding the hilt of the sword and ready to stab. Calgar almost rushed to the front of the platform but was quickly blocked. A lightning claw chopped and hit Calgar's iron fist. The captain stepped back several steps before stopping.

He looked up and glared at the Black Legion Terminator in front of him. The Terminator, as big as Calgar, stood in front of Calgar, blocking his way to the Primarch, but he still saw the blade piercing Guilliman's heart.

"No!" Calgar shouted but was stopped by the Terminator, who rushed forward with heavy steps to wrestle with Calgar, while on the platform, Cawl was concentrating on watching Evelene, watching her stab Guilliman's heart with a sword.

"Everyone, it's time to get up!" Evelene shouted and stabbed his heart with a sword. The blade of the Crone's Sword entered Guilliman's heart. As the blood flowed out of the wound, Evelene's eyes flashed white, and all the runes on the Crone's Sword also flashed at the same time.

The dazzling white light engulfed everything, and the dazzling light quickly spread from the platform. After Calgar and the traitor Terminator stopped fighting, the Honor Guard and the Black Legion, who were still fighting fiercely, also looked behind them. The pale light engulfed them and everything in the hall.

Vito raised his arms to block his eyes. The incandescent light like the sun lasted for a while and then gradually faded. Vito raised his eyes and looked at the high platform. He saw a figure stepping out from it.

The shining sky eagle on the chest of the Destiny Armor appeared from the light. His burly and upright body stepped out of the throne. The flaming sword burned in his huge palm. His piercing eyes finally slowly opened. After ten thousand years of sleep, he stood on the edge of the high platform and stood proudly in front of the throne.
