Chapter 218: Macragge, the Ultramarines Mother Chapter

Ultramar Sector, the Ultramarines' home planet, Macragge. As the home planet of the Ultramarines, it undoubtedly has defense and production capabilities that rank among the top in the entire empire.

With 500 core worlds, Macragge's combat power is definitely among the top even if it is compared with the millions of planets in the Empire. Especially the overall quality of the soldiers. Because it is the home planet of the Ultramarines, the 500 worlds of Ultramar do not need to pay a tithe to the Empire. A large amount of assets have been handled by the masters of planning and tactical formulation of the Ultramarines and have been maximized in all aspects of the 500 worlds.

And now, in the Ultramar sector, at Hera Fortress, the think tank director of the Ultramarines' parent group can clearly feel the continuous fluctuations coming from the warp.

Think Tanks, the psionic units of Space Marines, were first proposed by Magnus during the Great Crusade. However, due to the special circumstances of the times, it was rejected in the Primarch Council. However, in this era when the Emperor has lost consciousness and the Primarchs have either betrayed or disappeared, in order to better deal with the threat of Chaos, people have gradually begun to pay attention to the existence of Think Tanks.

Ordinary think tanks can only sense the fluctuations of the warp, prevent upcoming threats, and provide psychic protection and counterattacks. However, as the head of the think tank, the ability he possesses can even peek into some future fragments through the understanding and mastery of the nature of the warp, helping the Space Marines resist the corrupt attacks from Chaos.

Previously, the entire warp was swept by the storm of the Emperor's Wrath. Now that it has finally subsided, the Director of the Think Tank of the Ultramarines immediately sensed the warp in the Hera Fortress and tried to contact other planets of the Empire to understand what was happening at the moment.

It was no wonder they were so nervous, because the last time there was such a large-scale subspace storm, in order to prevent any unexpected situations, they were forced to form a forbidden alliance with the other two chapters...

Now they are facing the same situation again. It would be weird if they don’t react at all.

And now, feeling the waves that were forming one after another in the subspace, the think tank director's eyes, which were filled with psychic energy and overflowing with blue energy arcs, also revealed a clearly visible fear.

"It's Chaos Space Marines! Damn it, a large number of Chaos warbands are performing rituals in the Warp! They took advantage of the Warp Storm to get close to Macragge! Legion Commander, we must prepare for battle!"

Without the need for the think tank director to say anything, the army commander beside him had already quickly become alert. Afterwards, the entire Hera Fortress - and even the Ultramar 500 Worlds - quickly began to operate. The mortal auxiliary army entered the city in groups, and defensive force fields rose on the surrounding city walls. All the old, young, women and children in the city quickly entered the underground shelters, and adult men gathered under the attraction of whistles to form a temporary militia.

As a classic space Roman city, Macragge has many Greek elements. Like Sparta, babies in Macragge, both boys and girls, will be abandoned in the valley if they are weak and not strong enough. Even if they survive by chance, they will have to join the military school at the age of six.

All the children in the military academy will learn discipline through combat and actual combat training, and officially become soldiers at the age of fourteen. And they will not be allowed to leave the army and start their own families until they are thirty years old.

In this regard, the Ultramarines should be very powerful. It's a pity that their Primarch's record in single combat is not good... But in any case, the overall quality of the Five Hundred Worlds can definitely be regarded as a model among models in the entire empire.

As everyone watched nervously, a huge crack appeared in the sky of Macragge. With the announcement of the Ecclesiarch and the battle of the Space Marines, the crack exploded. But what they didn't expect was that what emerged from the crack was not a group of Chaos Demons, but blood and broken limbs that almost covered the entire sky.

Broken flesh and limbs mixed with sticky dark blood gushed out from the cracks in the sky. It was obvious that the owners of those broken limbs were definitely not human. On the contrary, they were full of blasphemous, disgusting and ugly forms of heretics.

The turbid blood-red water fell down in a mighty torrent, like the legendary river in the sky breaking apart. Before people could come to their senses, a huge mechanical ark flew out with a bang, and the huge bow cast a shadow covering the sky. The clean ark was no longer as clean as it was at the beginning. Six consecutive days of sleepless battles had left a lot of irreparable serious damage on the ark's hull.

On the deck of the battleship, everyone could clearly see the Skitarii of the Mechanicus, the Cybernetic Legion, the Battle Sisters of the Ecclesiarchy, the elite veteran company of the Mother Order of the Imperial Fists, and even the legendary Guards who were responsible only to the Emperor and were forever stationed in the Holy Palace of Terra!

"Praise Om Messiah." With a low roar, Cawl, holding a master-level offensive power axe, swung it and cut several Khorne Astartes in half. Although he was a scientific researcher, as an undoubted "behemoth unit", the destructive power that Cawl could produce on the battlefield was no less than that of the Custodians or even the Primarchs.

On the contrary, without determining the nature of the Warp, even the Primarch might not be able to match Cawl in terms of firepower support.

As a large number of mechanical appendages extended from the huge body, a large number of lethal weapons from the dark technological age, which were regarded as forbidden holy objects by the Mechanicus, began to buzz.

After being charged by a complex focusing array, the energy beam from the Corona Blaster easily melted a huge demon engine into a pile of molten iron mixed with blood and flesh. The deflection field was activated, and Cawl forcibly changed the trajectory of bullets, shells, and even energy beams. Then he opened his palm, released the arc disaster, and the multi-spectral destructive force field was covered. The powerful pulse directly disintegrated a Chaos Infantry Fighting Vehicle!

They discovered the Mechanicus symbol on the Explorer King, and also saw the Imperial Fists veterans and guards fighting on the Explorer King. They were only briefly surprised, and then Ultramarines Captain Zhang quickly roared:

"Battle Barges set sail! In the name of Roboute Guilliman, courage and honor! Fight for Macragge and support our fellow men!!"
