Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 396 Abaddon: Marula, the savior attacked our base!
After the space crack erupted, several dark purple energy chains suddenly stretched out.

The chains seemed to have life and immediately wrapped around Guilliman, who was holding the Emperor's Sword high. The extended void tentacles penetrated into the armor and then split and nailed into the ground.

Afterwards, the energy chains shrank instantly, almost forcing him to half-kneel on the ground.

"Abominable witchcraft!"

Guilliman roared in disgust at these Warp sorceries.

But what was unexpected was that the chain restraint did not last even half a second before he shattered it with his tremendous force.

next moment.

The Emperor's Sword slashed towards Abaddon at an even faster speed, chopping off his head.

thump~
The head fell heavily to the ground and rolled a few times.

This scene stunned everyone present, and the movements of the Messengers of Despair even slowed down a bit.

The Chaos Warmaster died just like that?!

However, Guilliman did not show any joy of victory, but instead had a solemn expression.

"Fake emperor's son, you can't kill me..."

On the ground, Abaddon's head blinked, sneered with disdain, and quickly twisted into a ball of moving, expanding rotten flesh.

Seeing this, Guilliman immediately stepped back and dodged.

Bang!
The mass of rotten flesh exploded, and the plague poison corroded a deep pit in the alloy ground, and many fist-sized holes splashed around it.

The resulting poisonous fog spread and covered more areas.

Guilliman swung the Emperor's Sword, sweeping away the poisonous fog with flames and regaining his sight.

He looked up at the area of ​​the subspace crack.

There is a strong fluctuation of witchcraft there.

Then, a Thousand Sons Great Wizard with three arms, purple skin and wearing a bronze robe floated out on a golden floating disk.

It was he who had just used witchcraft to bind the Regent and transfer the Chaos Warmaster away.

This great wizard named Zaraphiston went deep into the Eye of Terror under the revelation of Tzeentch, where he was given the power of prophecy and gained a deeper understanding of future events.

From then on, he swore his loyalty to the Chaos Warmaster.

It was he who had predicted the regent's revival and warned Abaddon, causing him to send a large army to Macragge to prevent the revival.

"Zarafiston, you arrived just in time..."

Abaddon's dark body walked out of a nearby witchcraft circle and came to the side of the great wizard. His injuries were gradually recovering.

He recovered extremely quickly, and more deformations appeared on his body.

This being did not resist as much as before, but chose to accept more blessings from the Chaos Gods in order to deal with the stronger Regent.

It was visible to the naked eye that his aura was rising, becoming even more terrifying and suffocating.

The great wizard waved his scepter, and more teleportation arrays appeared. Thousands of Chaos warriors roared out of the array and launched an attack on the Imperial warriors.

Afterwards, he summoned three huge Tzeentch Blue Ravens and more Tzeentch demons.

For a moment, artillery fire and the colorful flames of Tzeentch's spells spread across the entire battlefield, posing a huge threat.

These powerful forces of chaos are attacking the lines of the Primaris warriors.

"Courage and glory!"

The Primaris warriors were forced to form a mountain shape, holding their battle flags high and firing even more violent bombs at the enemy, welcoming the Chaos wave like reefs.

However, there is still too much chaos.

This decapitation team that boarded and landed in enemy territory was unable to resist the enemy's endless stream of reinforcements.

boom--

Abaddon suddenly repelled the attacking Regent, smashing him into the ruins in the distance.

He looked at this scene with great pride:

"Son of the false emperor, my army has arrived, how are you going to respond?"

Guilliman struggled to get up from the ruins, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the increasingly retreating front line, feeling a little helpless.

What is happening now is so familiar.

Am I in a difficult situation again and can only fight to the death?

"But, that's all in the past..."

The regent's face became resolute, and he stood up from a half-kneeling position using his sword to stand facing the Chaos Warmaster from a distance.

Now I am not fighting alone, reinforcements will arrive soon!
hum~
Under Abaddon's shocked gaze, the light of psychic teleportation devices flickered on the Imperial army's front.

"For the Golden Sun and the Savior!"

In the teleportation beam, more and more Crimson Terminators and Centurion Armors stepped out, pouring shrapnel storms on the Chaos enemies.

The Chaos army's offensive was temporarily suppressed.

Those were the war angels stationed on the Third Fleet of Redemption, and they also followed the Regent to participate in the war as part of the support.

Now, as the reserve fleet, they arrived at the battlefield in time!

Although they only have a few hundred people, almost all of them are equipped with Terminator armor, and they have nearly a hundred Centurion armors, which can play a huge role in such an assault battle.

Of course, such combat power alone is not enough to turn the tide of the battle, but the war angels brought even more terrifying divine weapons.

"Hurry up and put up the big light bulbs, there are too many demons!"

The captain of the 13th company controlled the Destroyer Centurion, and while sweeping out two terrible bullet belts to clear the demons, he urged his combat teams.

Following the captain's orders, a dozen Space Marines immediately removed their mechanical equipment and assembled a launch platform capable of carrying several missiles.

Then, they opened the alloy box, revealing the small, gray and holy missiles inside - the Holy Urn Bombs, and began to load them.

hiss--

The Tzeentch demons roared and fired colorful flames to burn the battlefield indiscriminately, but they soon realized that something was wrong.

Quack, that damn familiar smell!

These three Tzeentch Daemons participated in the siege of the Demon Eaters in the Battle of Charadon and witnessed the horror of the Holy Urn Bomb.

I have even seen with my own eyes the scene where the Demon Eater stuffed the sacred urn bullet into the anus of a Tzeentch demon, causing him to stick his butt up to the sky and burn up in agony!
The memory of the death began to attack them again.

Panic appeared in the eyes of the Tzeentch demons. After looking at each other, they all turned around and ran away.

next moment.

The sacred urn bombarded the battlefield, emitting a dazzling golden light.

If the Emperor's Sword is a single-target fatal blow, then these ash bombs are large-scale group damage, which can bring more fear to demons.

In an instant, wailing and screaming filled the entire battlefield.

Batch after batch of demons died in agony, and even the Chaos Warriors were affected to some extent.

Those Tzeentch demons felt the scorching light behind them, and their backs became more and more painful, so they immediately quickened their pace of escape.

Even the great wizard who stood in front and tried to dissuade them was slapped away by one of the great demons.

They now have only one thought, and that is - escape!
He did not even consider whether these mass-produced improved small sacred urn bombs would cause fatal harm to him, nor did he dare to gamble whether the other party had more powerful cursed weapons.

The Great Demon Tzeentch's action of leading the escape frightened more demons, and they began to flee as well.

These fleeing demons even attacked the Chaos Warriors' lines, causing more chaos.

Guilliman's eyes lit up when he saw the power of those weapons.

He had never witnessed the power of the sacred urn bomb with his own eyes before, and the few words that were passed down were exaggerated and superstitious. More people who were present thought that it was the emperor's appearance.

But now, he finally understood it all.

Such weapons can be very effective in the battle against Chaos Demons!
"I don't know how many weapons like this Brother Ron has..."

Guilliman suddenly remembered that Brother Roan had once said that he would provide him with a batch of such weapons. He wondered if he had forgotten.

I'll have to ask him for it later!
The Regent gripped the Emperor's Sword tightly and led his guards to attack the area where Abaddon was.

the other side.

Abaddon looked at the battle lines that were dispersed by the demons and was immediately furious: "Waste, a bunch of cowardly waste!"

He knew that these Tzeentch demons were not trustworthy. They were fickle and often did treacherous things.

There is no honor for any warrior!

Even he could see that these light weapons could not cause fatal damage to the Tzeentch Daemons or even the Greater Demons.

But they still escaped.

Today, although the Black Legion still holds the upper hand, there is not much point in reorganizing the front and continuing to fight.

His own Ark of Evil Omen arrived here ahead of time, bringing with it more warriors and fleets.

He had better ways to destroy the Imperial army.

"Retreat..."

Abaddon looked at the Regent from afar, then turned and walked into the teleportation channel created by the Great Wizard under the protection of the Messenger of Despair.

Wait until the Chaos Warriors have evacuated.

He will destroy the battleship along with the Regent and the Imperial warriors on board!

Following the Chaos Warmaster's order, the Chaos Warriors stopped their attack, began to shrink their front lines, gradually walked into the teleportation array, and left the super-large battleship.

Guilliman was somewhat puzzled by Abaddon's sudden withdrawal, wondering why the other party wanted to abandon this flagship.

But soon, Voladi sent a warning.

The temporary high-ranking commander of the Indomitable Fleet demanded that the Regent and all soldiers immediately evacuate the Planet Killer.

Because the fact was just as he worried, the Black Legion's hidden main fleet arrived, and reached the battlefield faster than expected!
Guilliman turned back sharply.

He looked through the gap in the ship and saw a huge beast looming in the void in the distance.

Those hideous abomination warships looked several times larger than the already massive Planet Killer, and far larger than the Glory of Macragge.

At this moment, they are crashing out from the rubble and stardust at an extremely fast speed, exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression.

You can vaguely see flashes of light in front of these giant beasts, and they are getting brighter and brighter.

That was a sign that the ship's guns were accumulating energy...

"Everyone retreat, as fast as possible!"

Guilliman reacted and realized what Abaddon was trying to do, and immediately ordered the soldiers to flee the battleship.

Afterwards, the soldiers evacuated with the help of the teleportation device.

But it's too late.

whoosh-

Several blasts of artillery fire were directed at the Planet Killer, attempting to completely destroy the battered battleship!
Fortunately, the Indomitable Fleet acted faster and built a dense artillery network to intercept these attacks.

Boom boom boom!
The collision between the artillery fire created a huge explosion, lighting up the void, and the spreading aftermath caused the Planet Killer's 30-kilometer-long hull to almost flip over due to the shock.

The attack of the Evil Omen Ark was so fierce that even the artillery fire network of dozens of battle groups could not intercept it.

A Chaos Beam flew past the Planet Killer, destroying the flank area, and the subsequent joint attack completely shattered the flagship of the Chaos Warmaster. However, the artillery interception commanded by Voladi still bought time for the soldiers.

Before the explosion and fire hit, the Regent led the last of his guards out of this endangered area.

……

Macragge's Glory, command hall.

The Regent, covered in traces of battle, hurried in with a look of worry on his face.

It's not just him.

The same was true for the other commanders in the hall.

Everyone looked at the evil monster that was a mixture of chaos and steel, and a sense of fear rose in their hearts.

This was the first time they faced such a terrifying abomination warship.

An ordinary cruiser is like a small toy in front of them and cannot cause any damage at all.

"Volady, you are right to be concerned."

Guilliman arrived at the core command area and couldn't help feeling fortunate that he had listened to the other party's advice and left more fleets as reserve forces.

Instead of sending them all to other fronts.

Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to deal with Abaddon's Ark of Evil, which would probably result in heavy casualties.

At this moment, he had completely agreed with Voladi or the Savior Fleet's cautious approach and the strategy of leaving more reserve forces behind no matter what.

I even began to reflect on whether I was a little too reckless.

Guilliman looked at the hideous and distorted image of the Ark of Omens projected in the air and couldn't help but take a breath.

He thought of Ron, wondering if that brother had infiltrated the Black Legion's lair in the Eye of Terror, so that he could further contain the enemy.

Unfortunately, no news has been received until now.

Let’s fight first.

Otherwise, once this terrifying fleet breaks into the lines of other war zones, it will completely disrupt the Indomitable Expeditionary Fleet's battle situation in the Hazy Star Field.

Guilliman frowned, wondering if the Indomitable Crusade Fleet could deal with this new horrific Chaos warship - the Ark of Omen.

Because the fleet has no relevant experience.

Guilliman looked at the young fleet commander with concern, wondering if he could withstand such heavy pressure.

He comforted her, "You don't have to be too stressed. Just try to test the strength of the Evil Omen Ark as much as possible."

The regent was prepared to retreat temporarily if the situation turned bad.

Unexpectedly.

Guilliman saw the excitement in Voladi's eyes and was stunned.

"God is above, we have finally reached the enemy's main force!"

Voladi didn't pay much attention to the regent's words.

He rubbed his hands, stretched his muscles, and injected another thought-enhancing potion.

Feeling extremely excited.

Over the years, he had not encountered any strong opponents, so he was mediocre and could not gain the attention of the savior.

Nor did he have any legendary achievements that surpassed those of other commanders of the same level and were worthy of being passed down.

It’s more of a collective glory.

But now, the opportunity that I have been waiting for for many years has come!
This was a huge battle led by him, and he was fighting against a famous Chaos Warmaster!

If this battle is won, wouldn't the savior pay more attention to this legendary commander and invite him and his mother to dinner alone?
Instead of just sending him to perform some ordinary tasks.

Voladi stared intently at the projection of the Ominous Ark, constantly operating to mark out some weak areas that could be better attacked.

Then he noticed the Regent's gaze and turned his head.

"Don't worry, sir. I have the most experience in dealing with big guys like this..."

He was full of confidence in front of the Regent: "We have mobilized enough fleets. Although we are not very sure of winning, at least we will not lose!"

This is still Voladi's conservative statement.

In fact, he thinks he has more than an 80% chance of winning.

In previous extreme simulation training.

Voladi has the best record in combat against super-giant battleships and has won victories in extreme environments.

Today, he owns the First Fleet of the Indomitable Expedition and more support fleets, and has assembled the empire's top military forces. It is an extremely wealthy dream start.

If you can lose like this.

He might as well just die here. He wouldn't even have the face to go back to see his savior and his teacher.

After Voladi replied to the Regent, he ignored him and put all his energy and thinking ability into commanding the fleet.

Soon, he was operating on multiple fronts, commanding the fleet to disperse and build a precise formation, while rushing towards the Ark of Evil Omen.

Take the lead in launching the attack!
In the void.

Hundreds and thousands of Imperial battle groups engaged the Chaos fleet, and were not at a disadvantage at all under the threat of the Ark of Evil.

Instead, it is progressing gradually.

In the command hall.

Guilliman's eyes were full of surprise. He found that under Voladi's command, the Indomitable Crusade Fleet had hope of victory.

If only these ominous arks could be left behind.

This could deal a significant blow to the Black Army, because such a huge, super-giant battleship is extremely valuable to any force.

The look he gave Voladi revealed a hint of kindness, like that of an old father.

The Regent has decided to "renew" the contract with the Savior no matter what and keep this important commander. The Indomitable Expedition needs him!

"No!"

Voladi suddenly let out a scream, as if he had encountered something terrible.

"what happened?"

This made Guilliman's heart wrench, but in addition to caring about the battle situation, he was more concerned about the commander's health.

Because he noticed that the other party's mind was working at a high speed and his body was damaged due to the heavy burden.

"The Black Legion is retreating..."

Voladi sighed. Although he couldn't see anything from the star map for the time being, he was still able to detect the movement and contraction of the enemy's front line due to his delicate operation.

no doubt.

The Black Army is preparing to retreat.

"I'm afraid the Black Legion has already noticed the Lord Savior's plan in the Eye of Terror."

There was some sadness in Voladi's voice.

Now that the two fleets have just engaged in battle, the gap in combat power is not that big. If the enemy wants to retreat, there is no way for us to stop them.

He seemed to see his glorious achievements and the title of legendary commander slipping away from him.

"Voladi, you have done well enough."

Guilliman comforted the other party in a rare gentle tone, so much so that Felix next to him was a little jealous, because even the purest and closest gene offspring.

No one has this treatment.

Guilliman felt a little regretful that he was not able to leave the Ark of Omen on this battlefield, but the current results were good enough.

After those abominable beasts leave, he will be able to devote more strength to various fronts and recover more dark areas of the empire.

Not long after, the Evil Omen Ark changed its course and headed back to the direction of the Eye of Terror at full speed.

In response, Voladi had no choice but to pursue as far as possible and take this opportunity to destroy more of the enemy's affiliated battle groups.

To strike at the Black Legion and weaken the power of Chaos.

In any case, the commander's dream was shattered, and the initial excitement was gone...
-
not long ago.

The Ominous Ark, the core area of ​​the mechanical furnace.

Ritual arrays, huge runes carved at high temperatures, and rune chains can be seen everywhere on the hull of carrion and steel.

The demon pilots used these restraints to enslave the chaotic machine souls within the ship's aggregate and prevent them from defecting.

Occasionally, you can see countless twitching thick silver semi-mechanical insects.

These parasitic creations, called Demon Steel Plexuses, are the key to the ship's ability to be assembled. They penetrate deep into the interior of the ship and become integrated into the system.

Inside the soul-guiding pillar, the power of spiritual energy is burning fiercely.

It is essentially a navigation beacon from the High Heavens in the Warp, its engine made of a fusion of flesh, steel, and demonic spirits, allowing the Ark to successfully traverse the Warp storm.

Its energy comes from the Warp Forge, which uses the souls of psykers as fuel.

There are countless steel cages hanging next to the Warp Furnace, and in the cages are bound blind wizards one after another. They are the source of psychic energy.

This is actually another version of the Astronomican, for which the Chaos Warmaster specifically satirized the Emperor.

"Savior, how dare you do this!"

Now, the wrath of Abaddon the Despoiler, the Chaos Warmaster, fills the entire core area, and his angry roar makes the blind wizards even more distorted.

He originally thought that he would be victorious after the arrival of the Ark of Evil Omen.

But what he didn't expect was that more support arrived from the Empire, and under the leadership of a powerful commander, they were able to fight on equal terms with him.

Just when Abaddon put all his energy into it, determined to win the war.

The great wizard Zaraphiston predicted an extremely shocking future.

That is, the Savior led the joint fleet to sneak into the Eye of Terror, and the target was the Black Legion’s base - Savagar!
He wanted to take advantage of the situation and attack there.

When Abaddon heard the news, he felt like the sky was falling.

Savaggar is the Black Legion's base in the Eye of Terror.

The precious resources and materials he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years were stored there, as well as a shipyard that he had invested almost all of his fortune in building, and a large number of ominous ark hulls.

If you lose these.

Then the Black Legion would be as good as bankrupt.

"Damned troublemaker, despicable savior, Tzeentch demon, I'm a ***, *********!"

In his rage, Abaddon was already incoherent, and he felt that the whole world was against him.

I feel powerless all over.

"We must return to the Eye of Terror."

Abaddon took a deep breath and calmed himself.

His scarlet eyes flashed with hatred: "Notify other chaotic forces that we need to join forces to encircle the savior and destroy him..."

The Savior does not have many joint fleets inside the Eye of Terror. Once he is blocked by the Chaos forces, he will surely face destruction!
