Chapter 729 The Beginning of the Second Webway War

In the palace area, there is a place in the underground empire that most people in the palace area don’t know about, that is, within the webway.

This is humanity's webway, not the webway technology created by the ancients. If it hadn't been blown up by Magnus's psychic phone call during the Heresy, perhaps it could have become a webway that humans could truly use. But it is too late to say this now. Humanity's webway has been broken, and a large number of demons have broken through the barriers between reality and illusion and entered it.

For Wang Ming, the horror of the first cyberwar was still vivid in his mind, and he was quite nervous about this battle. It was not that he was afraid of this battle, but that this battle was a bit difficult. After all, they had to face mountains and seas of various demons. Although this was not too difficult for them, thinking about the battle in which even the imperial guards would be exhausted to death, Wang Ming still felt a little uneasy.

The time travelers are not afraid of any battle, but no one knows how long this battle will last. This is a completely unanswerable question. This is also the reason why the time travelers are now preparing a large amount of daily necessities. The time travelers are not those Astartes who suppress their emotions and lives. They are just a group of ordinary people, with all the emotions they have when they are ordinary people.

They like to live like normal people, because for them, only living in this way can let them let go of their fatigue from fighting, mingle with the mortal auxiliary forces, and prevent their humanity from being lost in endless battles.

Among all the time travelers, the busiest is definitely the kitchen team. The time travelers in the kitchen team have all been preparing various ingredients in the past few days. They plan to cook as soon as they enter the webway, and at least three meals a day must be guaranteed for everyone.

Wang Ming also very much agreed with the preparations made by the kitchen team. After all, he also wanted to eat the food cooked by the kitchen team. Nothing could boost the morale of the time travelers better than hot meals. With hot meals, everyone could maintain their spirits. Only these things could prove that they were still a group of normal human beings, not killing machines.

"The task of clearing the webway is not easy. It is more difficult than any of your previous battles."

In the throne room of the palace area, Wang Ming was looking at the golden throne in front of him. He was having a conversation with the Emperor. The Emperor was not too confident about the task of clearing the Webway. Although He knew the terrifying combat power of the traversers, he still reminded Wang Ming. The Webway was now in chaos, and that was a literal sense of the word. Endless demons were in the Webway, eyeing the Holy Terra outside the Webway. The task He gave Wang Ming and the others this time was indeed a bit arduous.

"It's nothing. We already have a complete plan for the Internet Cleanup Project. Um... this is the plan."

Wang Ming looked at Nils who suddenly appeared beside him. He took out a data tablet and handed it directly to Nils.

"Hmm... you call this a plan?"

The Emperor looked at the data board in his hand. The information on it didn't look like a plan at all. What about using small directional nuclear weapons to blow up the demons, and then rushing into the webway to fight a cleanup battle? And what about the acceptable damage level? You are going to fight a cleanup battle. Are you going to blow up the webway in this state?
"It's not a big problem. Anyway, I asked Xu Zheng, and he has estimated the maximum acceptable degree of damage. As long as we don't exceed this degree, all our damage will be acceptable. After all, we can repair it while fighting."

Wang Ming looked at Nils, and he spread his hands to show that he had already calculated everything and there was no problem at all, and the directed nuclear explosion weapons were also set up, and the power of these weapons was not enough to threaten the internal structure of the network.

So there is nothing wrong with Wang Ming’s plan. He can just fight directly.

"The human webway is in your hands."

The Emperor looked at the plan on the data board. He was silent for a long time before he said this to Wang Ming. Maybe Wang Ming had heard it wrong, but there was even some hesitation in the Emperor's tone. Wang Ming didn't understand why the Emperor was hesitating. It was so stable when they were asked to handle the security of the network. They would definitely fill those holes in the network.

After finishing the communication with the Emperor, Wang Ming went to the entrance of the webway. When Wang Ming arrived at the entrance of the webway, all the troops were already waiting there. They were fully equipped and in high morale. They did not show any cowardice for the upcoming battle. Needless to say, the traversers were simply a group of demons in the real universe. In the eyes of the subspace demons, these guys were just a group of demons in the real universe.

These guys are so scary. They can’t be killed or beaten. They are just a group of demons in the eyes of demons. They are completely a group of natural disasters.

"Let's begin, for humanity! For the God-Emperor! Let's burn the demons inside to ashes!"

Wang Ming looked at those time travelers and mortal troops, those knights and the Mechanicus's crusaders, and issued orders to everyone. At the same time, he also gave them a status. Golden flames appeared beside Wang Ming, and then spread to everyone. For a moment, everyone was bathed in golden flames. They looked at the golden flames on their bodies and felt the warmth of the golden flames. All mortals sighed that this was a gift from the Duke of Protector of the Country.

After adding a state, everyone began to move towards the webway, with directional nuclear weapons and traversers leading the way. They would clear out an area and then let the mortal army enter to set up positions.

Wang Ming did not go in with the time traveler troops, because he still needed to have a good talk with the Imperial Guards. The Emperor had arranged for the Imperial Guards to assist in this operation, but Wang Ming was reluctant to let the Imperial Guards enter that kind of battlefield, so he refused the Imperial Guards' assistance on the grounds that they needed to protect the palace. After Wang Ming refused the Imperial Guards' assistance, the Imperial Guards did not say anything about Wang Ming's refusal, but they were obviously a little unhappy. Because they hoped that they must complete the Emperor's orders, but Wang Ming chose to refuse their joining, which made them a little dissatisfied. After all, they believed that they were the Emperor's most loyal guards and His most perfect warriors. There was no task they could not complete and nothing they could not do. Wang Ming's behavior towards them was completely a lack of trust in them.

But actually speaking, if we talk about distrust, the Imperial Guards actually distrust the time travelers more. After all, in their eyes, the time travelers are Astartes, and Wang Ming is a Primarch, and they have always been distrustful of both Astartes and Primarchs.

This is a root cause left over from the Horus Heresy. The Custodes have absolutely no trust in these Astartes and Primarchs. In their eyes, these creations are just a group of weapons that can easily get out of control. They are unstable.

"I need you to help us guard the gate of the Webway, in case our line is breached and the demons in the Webway flood into Holy Terra. Can you complete this task?"

Wang Ming looked at the Imperial Guards around him. He actually did not have too much trust in their abilities. Although he knew that the Imperial Guards were the Emperor's most elite genetic creations, even the New Astartes could not be compared with these perfect products of biological alchemy. They were perfect humans in the eyes of the Emperor. However, the number of these Imperial Guards was too scarce.

Wang Ming did not want these scarce imperial guards to carry out such a dangerous mission. These perfect biological alchemical creations should be used on battlefields that are more suitable for them. They should not be sacrificed like cannon fodder in the battlefields of apocalypse. They can do the sacrifices. They are immortal and indestructible, and they are most suitable for this kind of war of attrition.

"can!"

The Imperial Guards looked at Wang Ming in front of them. Among them were Imperial Guards who came from the fleet. These Imperial Guards knew Wang Ming and his legion very well. However, among them were also Imperial Guards who were stationed in Terra. These Imperial Guards did not understand the combat mode of Wang Ming and his legion, so they had some complaints about Wang Ming's refusal of their assistance.

"I know you don't trust me and my legion. This is due to the distrust during the Great Rebellion. But, I tell you! We are all warriors fighting for humanity and the Empire! Don't doubt our loyalty! Horus's rebellion will not happen to me. We only have humanity in our hearts, and my legion will only fight for humanity!"

Wang Ming looked at the imperial guards, the most loyal and powerful warriors of the emperor, and spoke these words to them. Whether they believed Wang Ming's words or not, Wang Ming only needed to say them. This was just to show his attitude. He also had his own dissatisfaction with the distrust of these imperial guards. Although he did not care too much about what the imperial guards thought of him, this distrust might become a huge trouble at some point, so he should still show his attitude.

After Wang Ming finished saying these words, he did not wait for the imperial guards to reply. He turned around and walked towards the entrance of the webway. Just as he turned around and was about to walk towards the entrance of the webway, suddenly, a large number of time travelers appeared beside him.

The moment Wang Ming saw these time travelers, he knew what had happened, because he saw Hu Jin among them. This guy and the other company commanders were all dead.

"What happened? Is there a problem with the underground nuclear weapon?"

Wang Ming didn't think that the demon had beheaded them at first. What he thought at first was that the directional nuclear explosion weapon might have gone out of control and blew everyone back. Because in Wang Ming's impression, the combat effectiveness of the Second Regiment was very strong, and they would not be killed by the demon in such a short time.

"No, we didn't have time to deploy directional nuclear weapons after we went in. There were too many demons in here. We couldn't kill them all. The demon tide overwhelmed us the moment we went in. We didn't have much time to react. Although the golden flames killed a large number of demons, no matter how many were killed by the golden flames, those guys seemed to be endless and there was no way to stop them."

Hu Jin looked at Wang Ming. He quickly explained the situation inside the network to Wang Ming, and then asked Wang Ming to give them another status. They now needed to quickly return to the network and use time to clear out a suitable position.

"I see. I'll go with you this time."

Wang Ming nodded to Hu Jin, and then entered the webpath with them. Behind them, the imperial guards looked at the traverser and Wang Ming's backs as they entered the webpath. No one knew what they were thinking, but they had changed their minds about Wang Ming and his legion to a certain extent. However, they still did not trust Wang Ming and his legion. Although they had changed their minds, they still had to be vigilant. In fact, they knew Wang Ming and his legion very well.

They knew what Wang Ming had done and their loyalty to the Emperor, but they knew even more about the strength of Wang Ming and his legion. It could be said that if Wang Ming betrayed the Empire like Horus did, the damage he caused would definitely be much greater than the Horus Rebellion. According to intelligence from the Imperial Guards who had previously acted with the 21st Legion fleet, the technologies in the hands of the 21st Legion were all relics of the Dark Age of Technology, and these technologies were still in a very complete state. There were even many scientists from the Dark Age of Technology in the 21st Legion's fleet.

Although it is unknown where Wang Ming got these guys from, the Imperial Guards have a special piece of information, which is that the current new Astartes transformation technology was developed by a biological scientist from the Dark Technology Age above Wang Ming's fleet. It can be said that if Wang Ming wants to betray the empire, the damage he causes will be absolutely terrible. The 21st Legion has had hundreds of thousands of Astartes troops in a few hundred years, as well as an entire fleet that may not be able to defeat the enemy even if the fleets of several star fields are tied together, as well as a large amount of Dark Technology Age technology and a large number of industrial worlds loyal to him.

These things forced the Imperial Guards to be wary of Wang Ming and his legion. The things displayed by the 21st Legion were too disturbing. If Wang Ming was not careful, he might become the next Horus, or even more terrifying than Horus.
