Chapter 339: The Rise of the Primarch: The Battle of Lion's Gate

The dark clouds were filled with flashes of lightning and artillery fire. The Terran atmosphere, which was constantly bombed and now covered and disturbed by battlefield dust and black smoke rising from the city, had now become a chaotic vortex.

Countless explosions occurred here, just like a dangerous space ion cloud. Any flying object that flew into it was very likely to be hit by the dense explosions, heavy lasers, and decomposition lightning that repeatedly passed through the clouds, and the elusive ion lightning produced in the atmosphere.

This was a sky of death. Only the craziest and boldest pilots would pass through it, but today, these bold pilots were passing through this cloud, and more than one.

The lightning fighter squadron roared out of the clouds, and their fighters' forward-reversed wings flew through the dark clouds. They were like geese flying in groups, flying to the bottom of the dark clouds in neat formations.

But today, they are not the only pilots who are equally brave here. A large number of fighter planes rushed out from the clouds above their heads. Those black fighter planes spewed blood-red flames and swooped down from the sky. The roaring machine guns instantly exploded in the dark clouds.

Below the enemy squadron, several fighter planes of the Empire's Lightning Fighter Squadron were quickly hit. The wreckage of the exploded fighter planes instantly turned into countless meteors and fell from the clouds. The remaining Empire Lightning Fighters responded quickly. They quickly dispersed and headed for the Chaos Fighter Group above their heads.

The fighter planes of both sides collided head-on, and the roaring machine guns kept flashing in the dark clouds. As the fighter planes of both sides rushed past each other, more flames quickly bloomed in the clouds.

Below the battlefield where fighters were fighting each other, a squadron of Valkyrie fighters quickly withdrew from the battle. These heavier fighters, which were heavier but could also carry more powerful weapons, dived down under the cover of the aircraft group above. Dozens of Valkyries quickly lowered their noses, spewing fire and quickly plunged into the clouds below.

The rapidly flying Valkyrie fighters flew out of the clouds, and around them was a large area of ​​fallen fighter wreckage. The burning fragments fell from the sky like meteors to the tragic battlefield below.

A large piece of fighter wing debris smashed a obelisk on the side of the avenue with flames. The tall and slender stone monument collapsed and fell to the ground after being hit, and a large piece of rubble fell down and hit the battlefield where fierce fighting was going on.

But the collapsed stone tablet did not attract the attention of the Astra Militarum soldier who was fighting in front of it. He held the machine gun in his hand and roared and fired. The Astra Militarum soldiers around him and the collapsed stone tablet surrounded the Imperial Guards and fired fiercely. Their firepower roared across the vast but extremely chaotic battlefield.

The flying laser beams and gun shells wove a symphony of war on the tragic battlefield. The bullets and lasers of mortals and the bombs belonging to the demigods flew with each other, and even collided with each other because of the too dense firepower density.

The Valkyrie fighter flew over this chaotic battlefield. Below her fighter was a war scene that once only existed in legends, a battlefield between demigods and demigods. Outside the Lion Gate, thousands of Imperial Guards were colliding with the frenzy of Chaos Space Marines. The waves of gold and chaos collided head-on. It was a battlefield between demigods, and there was almost no room for mortals to exist.

But the fearless warriors of the Astra Militarum still bravely defended here, using all their firepower to fire at the advancing Chaos army. In the enemy's front, countless mutants, crazy cultists and the huge demon army summoned by Chaos through cruel sacrifices in the hive formed an endless wave of madness, rushing from the edge of the vast plain outside the Lion Gate that was still bombed to the ground.

The Valkyrie's driver looked sideways at the tragic battlefield below. Various colors and shouts of killing echoed on this land like thunder, but soon new roars would join the war movement, belonging to them, the movement of the Imperial pilots.

"Into the shooting range, ready to fire!" The co-pilot, who was sitting behind the driver and slightly raised the back seat, shouted at the breathing mask hanging on his face. His voice was quickly transmitted to the driver's ears through the communication headset. He raised his eyes from the chaotic battlefield below and looked at the Chaos Knight Titan rumbling forward in front of him.

Under the cover of the Lightning Fighter Squadron overhead, the Valkyrie Squadron loaded with missiles roared past from low altitude, rushing at full speed towards the Knight Titan that was sweeping away thousands of troops on the battlefield with its giant chainsaw sword and rapid-fire cannon. The black Rebellion Titan also seemed to notice the flying fighter squadron.

It raised its head carved with the Chaos Blasphemy Eight-pointed Star, and the automatic cannon on the shoulder of the Knight Titan quickly turned, aiming the roaring muzzle at the flying Valkyries and firing. In an instant, two Valkyries were concentrated and exploded. Their wreckage rolled directly to the ground at an ultra-low altitude, but the remaining Valkyries still rushed towards the Knight Titan unstoppably.

The pilot pulled the trigger suddenly, and the heavy missiles hanging under his fighter were quickly fired. All the Valkyries fired their missiles at the same time. In an instant, the void shield on the surface of the entire Knight Titan was shattered in the violent explosion, and then it was hit and exploded by more missiles fired by the fighter squadron.

The rebellious Knight Titan itself was directly hit by the missile. It turned its body sideways and used its big arms to block the whizzing Valkyrie squadron. After they ran out of missiles, they quickly pulled away from the Knight Titan and flew past.

The moment all the fighters flew over, the traitor Knight Titan was hit by a more intense artillery fire. With its void shield broken, it was instantly knocked to the ground, and the tall knight fell to the ground in the explosion all over his body.

And what killed it was the tall Titan who walked out from between the obelisks. It was also a Knight Titan, but it was a Knight Titan loyal to the Emperor. The knight painted in red armor strode into the battlefield. Behind it were several other Knight Titans. These iron knights stepped into the battlefield with their iron feet.

The tall Titan's giant foot stepped past Bell. He lowered the grenade launcher in his hand and looked up at the towering knight above his head. The iron giant immediately fired all the weapons on his huge body into the battlefield. The eye-catching multi-barrel machine gun and heavy automatic gun began to fire, but suddenly its body exploded.

Bell lowered his body and watched the flash of the void shield on the Titan. The shield blocked the incoming artillery fire. Bell was startled and looked at the other end of the battlefield. At the edge of the plain in front of the Lion Gate, several Chaos Hound Titans walked into the battlefield. The bombardment cannons hanging on their heads instantly fired at the Knight Titans of the Empire.

Dense explosions exploded on the Titans, but the Knights of the Empire stepped into the battlefield with their heads held high without fear. The steel giants behind them all stepped over Bell's head, and their heavy steps shook the entire land around Bell.

The Titans roared and fired fiercely, and the destructive artillery whistled over the chaotic battlefield and killed each other. Bell looked at the Knight Titans walking forward, and then immediately picked up the grenade launcher and shot a traitor space marine that rushed up from the side.

The man fell to the ground with a bang, and behind him rushed more traitor Astartes and demons. The scarlet World Eater led the Khorne demons to wield chainswords and bolters to kill through the flank of the Astra Militarum, and rushed towards Bell, stepping on the corpses on the ground.

But at the moment when Bell raised his gun, a big thing suddenly flew over his head. The thing jumped up and knocked over the traitor who was rushing. Bell turned his head sharply to look at the thing. It was a floating motorcycle ridden by the Imperial Guard.

The Imperial Guard soldier sitting on it held a halberd in one hand and grabbed the throttle handle of the motorcycle with the other hand and pushed it to one side. He moved sideways and crashed through the traitors. As the motorcycle turned rapidly, he swung the halberd in his hand and killed several traitors.

And he was not the only one. More hovercrafts rushed down the slope behind Bell. They leaped up from the slope and then hit the charging traitors. Those traitors who had not yet stood up would be stabbed to death by the imperial guards on the motorboats that turned around quickly.

The imperial guard riding the motorboat raised his spear forward. He held the handle of the motorcycle in front of him with one hand, turned the hovercraft and rushed forward quickly. The imperial guards around him all followed him on motorcycles and killed the battlefield ahead.

They were like steel knights, waving their long spears and killing into the battle formation from one side of the battlefield. They went in and out three times like a dragon in the enemy sea.

Bell held a gun and looked at the chaotic battlefield ahead. More imperial guards slid down the slope behind him. Among them were the sisters of silence. They held huge swords that were completely disproportionate to mortals, but they waved like windmills. Together with their imperial guards, they rushed around Bell and killed the battlefield.

The subspace suppression power of the Silent Sisters took effect immediately. The moment they rushed into the battlefield, many traitors screamed in pain. Their connection with the evil gods of the subspace was abruptly interrupted by the untouchables.

While they were screaming in pain, the imperial guards wielding halberds had already rushed in front of them. The golden wave collided head-on with the destructive wave of chaos, and they slashed fiercely on the battlefield.

Bell raised his gun and fired continuously, helping the imperial guards who rushed into the battlefield to kill several bloodletters. Trajan, who was holding a battle axe beside him, also slashed down the slope. He raised his storm battle axe and aimed at the traitors with the muzzle of the bolt gun hanging below. In the blink of an eye, a traitor Astarte died under the muzzle of the commander of the imperial guards.

"They are like a group of sharks, smelling blood and swimming from all corners of Terra!" Bell yelled and pulled the trigger to fire quickly. The bolter in his hand burst into dazzling flames. Soon Bell's magazine was empty. The Ultramarines pressed the button on the side of the gun to discard the empty magazine.

"Isn't this just right? This shows that we have successfully attracted the attention of all the traitors, especially Abaddon." Trajan said, turning the muzzle and firing two more shots. One of the traitors was not killed instantly. His shoulder was hit by the bolt, and the hand holding the chainsaw sword suddenly collapsed to his side, and the chainsaw sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

The traitor drew the pistol on his waist and aimed at Trajan, ready to shoot, but his head was quickly blown up, and the power helmet was shattered and cracked under the bombardment.

Bell looked at the person who fired the gun on the other side. It was Eisenstein. He raised his bolt pistol with one hand and aimed it at the traitor. He quickly turned the muzzle and continued to shoot quickly. The captain held a bloody chainsaw sword in his other hand. His body was also covered in blood, but Bell thought it was not the captain's own blood.

"We have gathered almost all the main forces of the traitors who landed on Terra. They are like a group of greenskins. When they saw our main forces gathered here, they immediately surrounded us from all over the world." Bell said as he inserted a new bolt magazine into the gun. He pulled the bolt hard to load the bullet.

"This also shows that Abaddon must have been attracted. Such a large-scale gathering of traitors cannot be spontaneous. It must be an assembly order given by the Warmaster himself. He mobilized all the main forces for a decisive battle." Eisenstein As he spoke, he slashed a mutant who rushed up to pieces with his backhand sword. The company commander kicked his mutilated body, causing the guy with the bomb tied to his chest to fly out and explode in the air.

"I think we did succeed, we..." Before Eisenstein could finish his words, he was interrupted by an explosion. He suddenly raised his head and looked forward with Bell. That was the sound of the explosion of the Imperial Knights entering the battlefield. The tall Knight Titan was blasted by a heavy turbine cannon.

The Knight Titan quickly fell to pieces and burned. Its huge body crashed to the ground like a collapsing steel mountain. The other Knight following behind was pierced and exploded by the roaring laser.

The three of them looked at the edge of the battlefield. On the edge of the vast war plain, a warlord-level traitor Titan entered the battlefield. The warlord Titan, which was bigger than knights, hounds, and even taller buildings in the hive behind it, stepped into the battle formation. The huge iron hooves crushed the Leman Russ and several Chimeras under their feet, and the Warlord Titan stepped on them into the battlefield outside the Lion's Gate.

The Warlord Titan turned its head, and the turbo laser cannon on its shoulder fired a shot instantly. Bell turned his head sharply and looked along the laser. An Imperial Knight on the side of the battlefield plain was instantly broken, and then the entire The body's torso was pierced by a shot and fell to the ground instantly.

While the warlord was destroying the Knight Titan, countless automatic cannons and laser beams on his body began to fire at the battlefield. The bombardment cannons bombarded the chaotic battlefield. Countless Astra Militarum soldiers as well as the advancing Custodes and Sisters of Silence Killed instantly by that terrible gunfire.

Bell looked at the warlord who fired countless barrages from his body and picked up the bolt gun. "It seems that we have attracted that big guy here, but now we can be sure. Abaddon is definitely here. Only the Warmaster can mobilize that big guy." thing."

"But there is another question. How can we not be killed by Abaddon before we find him? Or, where is our Titan?" Bell turned to look at Trajan and asked. The commander of the Imperial Army smiled, and he tilted his head slightly and came closer. The communicator on his neck.

"God is wrathful, an opponent worthy of you has appeared, it's your turn." "Order received, ring the bell."

Before those words had finished, the dull bells suddenly echoed on the battlefield. The huge bells were thick and long. Everyone on the battlefield subconsciously stopped, and the imperial guards who were fiercely attacking each other and the people in front of them stopped. The traitor Astartes stopped their weapons, and they all looked at the source of the bell.

When the first big bell ended, a laser beam shot into the battle formation from the edge of the battlefield in the blink of an eye. The giant beam shining with light of power penetrated three Hound Titans behind the warlord class in one shot. , those war hounds were torn apart from the inside in an instant, and the huge explosion blew away the entire Titan's Heavenly Spirit Cap.

The War Hound crashed to one side and crushed many unlucky mutants and cultists to death. One of the Hounds even hit another one beside it when it fell, knocking it almost to the ground.

The second bell rang, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps, making the whole land tremble. The third bell rang, and the divine machine stepped into the battle formation.

Everyone on the battlefield saw the tall steel body. With the huge iron hooves trampling the earth, a giant Titan mecha as tall as a mountaintop appeared on the edge of the battlefield, surrounded by dozens of machines. Hounds, and an equal number of Knight-Titans.

The Iron Knights and Hounds surrounded their king, and the Warlord-class Titan "God's Wrath", which was as tall as a warlord, stepped onto the battlefield. The God's Wrath almost immediately directed its own firepower at the Tyrant-class, violent explosions on the tall Lightning roared on the void shield in front of the mecha.

The God's Wrath strode towards the Tyrant. All the artillery fire on its body was aimed at the steel giant and roared and shot. Not to be outdone, the Chaos Iron Giant turned around and responded to the God's Wrath with the same whole-body artillery fire. In an instant The front sides of the two mechas exploded with endless explosions and fire.

With the entry of the Wrath of God, the hounds and knight titans around him rushed into the battlefield. They almost immediately fought with the chaotic Titan army. The hounds from both sides fired fiercely at each other, and the knight titans strode forward. At each other, strike each other with the heavy chainswords on their arms, just like true knights.

As the knights collided and trembled together, the battlefield at its feet seemed to have been re-pressed. The Forbidden Army and the Chaos Space Marines fought fiercely together again, and the surrounding mortals also re-weaved the dense artillery fire. , fierce battles were staged across the entire land.

Trajan looked at the Mechanicus Skitarii on the edge of the battlefield. They rushed in from one side of the battlefield, like a red wave rushing into the golden and black tide. The blue light and heat of the phosphorus fire weapons, the thunder and lightning. The shining red light of the shot, and the fluorescent green beam accompanying the radiation weapon crashed into the battlefield along with the red wave.

"Forward!" Trajan smiled and raised his battle axe. He was the first of the three to rush to the battlefield. The commander of the imperial army strode into the battlefield waving his battle ax and killed several people in the blink of an eye. Traitor, and Bell and Eisenstein behind him naturally would not fall behind, and the two strode into the battle formation.

Bell ran quickly, picked up the blaster and fired as he ran. His whistling bullets accurately killed all the enemies around him. Beside him, Eisenstein, who was holding a chain sword, was holding a gun sword. They all followed Trajan as they advanced, slashing and slashing.

The three of them plunged into the battlefield and rushed forward along the chaotic battlefield of fierce fighting. Chaos was everywhere around them. The Sisters of Silence cooperated with the Imperial Army and the Chaos Space Marines. The tall giants kept waving their weapons to chop each other. Killing, and under their feet were mortals fighting with all kinds of weapons, their bayonets were red, and they even exchanged fists and kicks.

Bell flicked his hand and shot the head of the World Eater who rushed forward. Above him, the Sedonian Dragoon of the Adeptus Mechanicus crossed over, and the bipedal running mechanical mount rushed into the battlefield with other surrounding Dragoons. , its iron feet crushed or knocked away all the prisoners and traitors blocking the way. The Skitarii knight sitting on the back of the dragoon stabbed and shot all the way with his own lightning spear.

The Sedonian Dragoons were unstoppable all the way, and then they collided head-on with the Khorne Steel Bull Knights. Steel and steel collided with each other. The Dragoons quickly started to tremble with the Steel Bull Knights, and the motor boats of the surrounding Imperial Guards were also roaring rapidly. And passed by, passing over the heads of Bell and others.

Bell carried the bolt gun and charged all the way. He followed Trajan through the chaotic battlefield, but in the blink of an eye, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck in front of them, and a claw suddenly swung out from the lightning and struck Trajan. The commander of the Forbidden Army also reacted very quickly. He immediately stopped and raised the battle ax in his hand to block in front of him.

The storm battle ax and the power claw collided with each other. Trajan was quickly knocked back several steps before he regained his footing. Trajan raised his head and looked at the lightning with the battle ax in his hand, and Bell behind him. Eisenstein also stopped, and they stopped with the custodians who were advancing with Trajan from all around.

Countless bolts of lightning struck the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye it was like a thunder plain in a storm. Terminators of chaos rushed out from those bolts of lightning, and they slashed out in the blink of an eye with the power claws and long swords in their hands. Entering an open space, the Skitarii and the Astra Militarum were killed one after another under their swords. Even the steel body of the Skitarii could not block those sharp claws and blades for even a second.

As a stepper rushed past, but was cut off by the Terminator's sword and cut off one of his legs, the Sedonian dragoon fell to the ground. In the lightning that knocked back Trajan, Abaddon left. Coming out, he held his cursed black sword and strode out of the lightning. The Warmaster's scarlet eyes stared at the people in front of him.

"Where's the Vitor?! Where is he!" Abaddon shouted in an excited voice, and Trajan smiled disdainfully. He grabbed his battle ax and held it fiercely in his hands. Behind him, The golden-armored guards raised their weapons and pointed them at Abaddon.

"You want to find the marshals? Then you have to step over them." Trajan said loudly and swung his battle ax violently, then grabbed it and got into a fighting posture. Bell and Eisenstein behind him, He and a group of forbidden troops were also ready for battle.

Abaddon's Terminator guards all raised their weapons and gathered behind Abaddon to prepare for battle. Warmaster Abaddon raised his eyes. He looked at the desperate group of people in front of him and raised his magic weapons. sword.

"Then I'll kill you first! Then use your blood and screams to draw him out!" "You don't actually need to draw me out, I'm just waiting for you to come out on your own."

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Abaddon and the other Terminators. The soldiers on Trajan's side also looked at the source of the voice and put down their weapons. Abaddon and the others turned to look at the golden figure walking towards them.

Vito was coming from behind them, holding the head of a Terminator of Abaddon's bodyguard in his hand. He dragged the Terminator for a few steps and then threw its body on the ground casually. Vito looked towards Abaddon. Barton came over.

Vito used the golden power claw that killed a Terminator in the blink of an eye, pointing at the Terminator guards behind Abaddon and around him, "If you don't want to lie on the ground like him, get out of here."

The Terminators looked at each other, and then retreated to both sides. They all bowed their heads to Vito and said, "Marshal."

Vito walked between them. He walked in front of Abaddon from the path made by the Terminators. The Warmaster looked at Vito and sneered in a low voice. He clenched the magic sword in his hand and turned to Vito. , "Aren't you going to activate those secrets that the Emperor has deceived us all and secretly hidden beneath the palace?"

"To deal with you? It's not necessary. I didn't have those things when I beat your father Horus back." Vito smiled sarcastically and put his hand on the Phoenix Sword worn on his waist, but obviously, Ah Patton was angered by it.

"I am not Horus! I am the warmaster chosen by the four gods!" Abaddon roared angrily and raised the magic sword in his hand to point at Vito, his eyes filled with boundless anger.

"I'm going to kill you! Then I'll step on your body to kill the Corpse Emperor!"

"That's why I said you don't need those things to deal with you, this is enough."

As he spoke, Vito slowly drew out the Phoenix Sword. The blade burned a little as the sword was unsheathed. Finally, Vito pointed the blade to his head, and blazing flames instantly burned from the blade.

He now looked exactly like the Emperor. The surrounding Abaddon guards retreated one after another. They looked at Vitor and the angry War Marshal, who slowly pointed the blade at Abaddon.

"Let me teach you what real power is on behalf of your father."
