Chapter 49 The War Begins, Prepare to Board the Ship! (Please Read On)
"Ossinis is a fortress world, heavily guarded. Moreover, every civilization that can survive the long night should not be underestimated. There may be some strange weapons buried in this planet. Captain Abaddon's suggestion does have his considerations."
"But--"
The angel changed the subject, put her hand on Horus' shoulder, and said softly, "If this is your decision, my brother, I am still willing to support you unreservedly in this matter. I will fight side by side with you to fight this ancient evil together."
The angel stood with the Wolf God.
The two heirs of the Emperor, with their glorious and shining postures, made people dare not look directly at them.
"I'm going to cry."
Togaton wiped his eyes and said, "It would be great if I had a sister as considerate as you."
Seganus and Assimonde nodded in agreement.
Their artificial posture made Lord Wolf God a little embarrassed, and Horus was about to pick up the water cup on the table and smash it down.
Only then did he realize that the water cup had already been sacrificed heroically just now.
He could only reach out his hand, point at Togaton's nose, and scold with a smile, "You two little wolf cubs, I think my sister has spoiled you and made you more and more courageous. I think I must beat you up."
"And what about Abaddon, that wolf cub!"
The atmosphere finally eased up. Horus was a little embarrassed, but still pointed at Assimonde and said:
"Go tell him that if he can come back within 20 minutes, I can still consider forgiving him. Of course, when he apologizes to me, he must kneel down respectfully, and the voice should be softer. I rarely have such a good mood, and I don't want to be disturbed by him again."
"I will try my best to persuade him."
Assimonde shrugged his shoulders, then turned around and left the room in a hurry.
"This is the battle plan for this time, as well as various intelligence about the mutant country of Tagar." Horus handed a narrative board to the angel beside him, "This is indeed a not-so-simple opponent. They have powerful genetic modification technology and have preserved a large number of technological equipment from the Old Night Era. We must be careful to deal with it."
According to the records of the War Council.
There are 4,287 expeditionary fleets participating in the Great Crusade, and more than 60,000 additional secondary armed forces serving as auxiliary forces or assisting defense work. There are also 372 expeditionary forces being reorganized or rebuilt, waiting for new tasks.
There is no doubt that the galaxy that can allow the Astartes Legion to strike hard must have a large number of aliens and extremely terrifying military forces.
"Your plan is perfect." Sanguinius frowned as he quickly scanned the lines of text, then returned the narration board to the wolf god. "The only question is when are we going to start." "The sooner the better." Horus stood up from his chair and stood with his sister: "As early as when we first met, I said that I hope to fight side by side with you on the battlefield. Now this opportunity has finally come. I will remember this war." "Me too." Sanguinius smiled and spoke, his wings covering Horus's back.

The smile on Togaton's face has never closed.
It was not the iconic smirk of the past, but a smile from the heart, feeling sincerely happy for the friendly relationship between his father and the angel.
He blinked and secretly used the full battlefield perception module in his armor to take a picture of this extremely precious picture. He thought that after the war was over, he would print out this picture and post it at the entrance of the keel gallery of the Spirit of Vengeance so that every soldier, worker, and slave on the battleship could appreciate it.

Kano stared through the armored glass of the porthole, watching the rocks grow bigger and bigger as they passed through the darkness in front of him.
The stone forest, which was larger than the mountains, was spinning and floating in the vacuum, surrounded by loose cloud particles ranging from small specks of stardust to large starship hulls.
Under the heavy wrapping of the rocky star rings was a beautiful blue planet, shrouded in thin white clouds, which changed with the passage of time, reflecting the light of the stars on Kano's face. He felt in a trance that every breath he inhaled was filled with the taste of glaciers and rainstorms.
"This planet looks like it was carved out of ice."
Kano didn't know how to describe the scenery in front of him, and he repeated, "This is incredible. On Basilisk, a mouthful of urine-smelling water can make two strong warriors fight each other regardless of life and death, but there are so many such precious water sources here."
"This planet is called Ossinis. After this battle, he will return to the embrace of the empire." Purvis's burly figure strode from behind Kano. When not wearing armor, Purvis was almost a head shorter than Kano, but now Purvis was almost as tall as him.
This was because the two wore different types of armor.
Kano wore standard Mark III Steel Power Armor, which was thicker than Mark II Expedition, and could provide excellent protection in narrow areas, making it more suitable for boarding battles, but at the cost of sacrificing some agility.
The armor was painted by Angel himself, with a blood-red color as the main color, and golden stripes on the edges as embellishments. There was also a winged blood drop painted on the left shoulder.
As a veteran of the 10th Company, Purvis was wearing a full set of Iron Cavalry Terminator armor.

The exaggerated and heavy ceramic steel armor was stacked on Purvis' body, plus the small shield generator installed on the shoulder and the double heavy grenade gun hanging on the left hand. Purvis looked like a metal mountain coming towards him at this time. The dull and exaggerated sound of metal collision echoed on the deck, which shocked Kano and made his blood boil.
"So cool, teacher!"
Kano stepped forward and patted Purvis on the shoulder, "When can I become a handsome warrior like you."
"As long as you can survive, there will be such a day."
Purvis's voice came from the communication grille, full of metal and gunpowder, "But before the war starts, you must stay serious. Do you remember what I taught you before?"
"Of course!"
Kano followed Purvis and entered the prismatic airdrop warehouse.
He fixed his armor on the shock mount, and as the command was issued, the heavy hatch slowly closed under the rotation of the hinges.
The airdrop chamber was pitch black, with only the eyes of the power armor emitting red or green light. Kano panted heavily and felt his two hearts beating violently.
Click!
A clear mechanical crisp sound.
The gravity of the planet Ossinis was like an invisible big hand holding it tightly.
He was falling non-stop, faster and faster, and an unprecedented feeling was lingering in his chest, making him emotional and wanting to roar to the sky.
With a huge vibration coming from under his feet, the feeling of falling suddenly disappeared. If it were a mortal, he would have died just this time, but with the help of the power balance device, Kano only felt a slight chest tightness.
Bang bang bang bang!
The four heavy hatches opened at the same time, and cold air poured into the gaps in the breathing grille.
The first large-scale war in his life began like this.
