Man in Warhammer, starting Primarch.

Chapter 222-29, Lion's Report
The low growl of the Space Wolf was like the prelude to the renewed flames of war. As his voice fell, another group of Genestealers emerged from the darkness.

The wolf Snowpelt's weapon roared, blasting a gap in the oncoming enemy group, but soon more enemies came up.

Shivara turned on the flamethrower and sprayed the purifying fire at the approaching enemy group. The nuns lined up, picked up their weapons and launched a volley of fire.

The monsters rushed forward recklessly under the fierce firepower, as if they were driven by some force more powerful than their primitive brutal instincts. Judging from their orderly attack, perhaps there was a commander-like character hidden behind these aliens.

Amidst the stray bullets and flames, the Genestealers wailed in the flames, but even so, they still rushed towards the Imperial forces as a whole.

"Retreat, retreat to the room!" Faced with this unpredictable situation, Sister Spiritual Shivara shouted out orders.

They need to temporarily withdraw from the battle to investigate the strength of this group of aliens.

The sisters understood her order and retreated backwards, maintaining a tight formation and continuing to fire.

Every sister of the Psychic Guard was an elite who had followed the Primarch since the time of Ophelia VII.

Each of them is battle-hardened and experienced.

The Space Wolf followed closely behind them, and during the retreat, he used high-explosive bombs to blow up the stone pillars at the top of the tunnel to delay the pursuit of the alien monsters.

Upon arriving in the room, the Imperial forces' formation immediately changed.

The enemies that followed closely swarmed in from the entrance, and the Battle Sisters and Space Wolves stood in a line and poured fire.

In this narrow entrance, they killed the enemy faster than they could rush at him.

The Genestealers were unable to defeat the aliens for a long time, and as time passed, the alien offensive began to weaken.

Then, the enemy group dispersed, and a figure covered in dust appeared in the tunnel. The Genestealers crawled like beasts, but this figure walked upright like a human.

It was wearing a richly decorated robe, and on its exposed skin was engraved a mark - a thorny insect.

Compared to its humanoid body, its head is completely different from that of humans. The swollen skull is almost three times the size of a normal human's, and the three thick purple blood vessels protruding on it are beating as if they have life.

"You are not welcome here," it said to the wolf and the nun.

The sound of these words went straight into his mind, and Shivara realized that this alien possessed some kind of psychic power.

Under this force, her body felt a stinging pain. This pain was a little unbearable for ordinary people, but for Shivara, it was not worth mentioning.

The nun gathered her own will to fight against the spiritual energy that invaded her mind, and then the influence of this spiritual energy on her disappeared.

"You are standing on the territory that belongs to the empire, but you are driving us, your masters away?" Shivara responded with disdain.

"The Vigilant Planet belongs to us. The rise of the Lord of the Stars is inevitable. Any resistance is meaningless." The monster moved forward as he spoke, and it seemed as if he was gliding forward when he moved.

"Alert Star is such a hapless world. All those bastards who don't know their own limits want to claim sovereignty." Shivara sneered and pointed the gun at the monster.

"Get over here and die, alien scum."

The monster was not angry at the nun's insults. It just raised one of its six arms, and Shivara suddenly felt his whole body stiff, and even pulling the trigger became extremely difficult.

"See? You can't stop the great Children of the Stars. You can't, the orcs can't, and those chaos monsters can't either. We are endless, we are justice, and we are the true masters of this world."

The monster hadn't finished speaking yet.

Shivara broke the stiffness in his body, took out a grenade from his tactical waist bag and threw it over.

The Space Wolves and the Sisters reacted quickly, and the moment they hid in the bunker, the energy released by the violent explosion made the whole room tremble.

Gravel and dust shook off the cracks in the ceiling, pouring down and making everyone covered in dust.

The alien, which had sustained most of the force of the grenade explosion, was still alive. With a shrill scream, it disappeared from the room.

After it left, the Genestealers swarmed up again. Their numbers were shrinking and their violent aura seemed to have lessened a lot. The nuns quickly dealt with the remaining enemies.

"Shivara, where did that bastard go?" The Space Wolf asked the nun. He was standing exactly where the monster disappeared.

Shivara said nothing, but came to the edge of a jagged hole.

When the grenade exploded, the alien dug out the hole with his bare hands in a very short time, thus avoiding the entire impact of the explosion and surviving by chance.

The Space Wolves also arrived here and threw lighting equipment into the cave, while the Sisters stood aside and looked down.

They were shocked at first, and then they were ignited with nameless anger in their hearts - the lighting equipment fell into a huge cave hundreds of meters below the cave.

This cave is extremely wide. Just by visual distance, it is more than five times the size of the lower nest of the hive city.

Through the dim light from the lighting equipment, the nun vaguely saw the heretic who had sustained most of the impact of the grenade, and whose shattered body was now lying on the floor of the huge cave.

Compared to the huge cave carefully constructed by the alien and hidden underground, the broken corpse seemed unimportant.

"It seems that you cannot avoid the punishment of Warmaster Dukel." The Space Wolf said to the sister, "We will stay down there longer than you think."

"The Primarch once said that when a bug appears in the living room, it means that they have built a huge nest in the invisible corner." Shivara picked up the flamethrower, and the bloodthirstiness that only belongs to a warrior appeared on the nun's girlish face.

"Putting aside the Warmaster's punishment, I feel lucky that we didn't miss the real nest of the insects."

Under the dim light from the lighting equipment, the Sisters and the Space Wolves crawled into the hole created by the grenade and moved towards the huge cave.

The huge cave was like a maze with winding and deep passages leading to unforeseen darkness. Countless shining eyes were staring at them with malicious intent in the darkness.

In the outer orbit of the warning star.

The engine of the Soul Fire roared like thunder. This Queen of Glory-class battleship was suspended in space. The Second Legion's sacred relic, Carlos Fate Eagle Battle Flag, stood on the bow. The thick golden light emitted by the flag enveloped the entire Alert System, declaring the Empire's sovereignty to all those who coveted the existence of Alert Stars in the galaxy.

Dukel was sitting in his office. On the desk in front of him were thick paper documents. These were war reports submitted to him by the leaders of various legions.

The battlefield on Alert Star was not very large, but it was the most chaotic battlefield he had ever encountered.

He had received news from Shivara and learned that there was a huge insect nest hidden beneath the ground of the hive city.

The active performance of the Genestealers almost confirms that a large Zerg fleet is heading towards the Alert Planet at this moment.

Not only the Tyranids, but also the Mechanicus and the Dark Mechanicus have broken out into a war on the edge of the galaxy. The reason is that here they discovered many tombs of dormant Necrons.

Under such circumstances, the awakened Necron Overlord may arrive here with his dynasty at any time.

There are also Eldar, Dark Eldar, Mutants, and many Dark Demons from Chaos, two Primarchs of Demons, Dark Lords, etc.
Vigilance Planet is a magical place. In this small place, you can find almost all the forces in the galaxy.

All races want to plant their flags at this important location, but so far, victory is still firmly in the hands of humans.

Here, the imperial soldiers stubbornly fought off enemy after enemy. Even though Vigilance had been completely changed in the flames of war, it remained loyal to the Empire.

Under Duke's orders, the Imperial fleet gradually moved away from the Alert Star.

At the same time, the energy readings transmitted from this planet have reached an incredible range. All technological products of the empire, except for the virtual realm instruments, are completely ineffective here.

In Lorgar's ritual, the Vigilant Planet has been closely integrated with the Warp and is no longer suitable for the survival of mortals.

From this point of view, Lorgar and the Word Bearers won. Although they were defeated in the war, they still achieved their goal and transformed this place into an extension of the High Heaven.

Dukel had a very different idea.

Whatever Lorgar wanted to do, his action brought the Empire and the Warp closer together again.

In the past, getting too close to the Warp was extremely dangerous for the Imperium - because at that time, the Imperium was in the position of victim and Chaos was the perpetrator.

No victim wants to be close to the abuser, and no abuser wants to be away from the victim.

But now, humans are no longer content with being victims; they are transforming into perpetrators.

If the demons still stick to the old ideas, then what awaits them is bound to be a significant surprise.

Dukel raised his head and looked at the planet in front of him in fascination through the dome lens of the Fire of the Soul.

He watched as the celestial energy radiating from the surface of Vigilance grew brighter and brighter - it would be a perfect energy source.

Duke thought so in his heart.

If the largest Asian gold energy plant in the empire were built here, the output would be so high that even he would find it hard to imagine.

No longer needing to run around the galaxy to capture "raw materials", Doom and the Slayer can now focus on production on the assembly line.

Dukel issued orders to various departments through virtual communications.

Soon, a large transport fleet will arrive at the Alert Planet with huge amounts of supplies.

This planet is no longer habitable.

Therefore, all existing buildings will be demolished, and soon, the empire's largest Yakin energy plant will rise from the ground.

No matter what kind of plan Lorgar has prepared on this planet, now the consequences of the ceremony will be borne by the Empire first.

Just as Duke was thinking about the prototype of the factory, Efilar's voice sounded in his ears.

"Your Highness, an agent of the Dark Angels has requested a private meeting with you. He has news about the Lion King."

"Lion King?" There was a hint of surprise in Dukel's eyes. The lion and the archangel went to investigate the clues of Horus, and now they finally began to get feedback.

"Bring him here quickly," the Primarch said happily.

The Dark Angels agent walked into the hall where the Primarch was. He had just almost run all the way through the corridors of the Inner Fire, and his heart was still beating rapidly.

He held a mithril letter box firmly in his hand. It was not heavy, but he seemed to have used up all his strength.

When he saw the Primarch, Durkel looked up from his desk, which was awash with dataslates and paper files.

The huge holographic star map occupies nearly half of the hall. In front of the Imperial Warmaster, all the galaxies in the Milky Way that are ignited by war will be clearly visible.

The noble saint quietly served beside the Primarch, and she looked at the Dark Angels' agents with a hint of curiosity.

"Warmaster, this is the report sent to you by the Lion King," the Dark Angel said, breathing heavily.

Then, he handed the mailbox to the war commander with some force.

Dukel opened the seal of the mailbox and walked to the other end of the hall and stuffed the mithril mailbox into a projection device made of mithril and glass.

A control lever was pulled, and the electric nuclear-powered wall lamp was temporarily extinguished. Then Dukel used his mental power to awaken the device in front of him.

The gears of the machine began to turn, making a clicking sound, and it projected a rectangular image on the wall. The picture was blurry at first, but soon became clear.

A man's face was revealed, and the agent recognized him as a member of the Secret Order of the First Legion. He was said to be an Angel of Absolution, a thousand-year veteran who had returned to the Empire with the Lion not long ago.

But the agent never thought that this man with such a great reputation throughout the galaxy would actually expose his fear and anxiety like an ordinary person.

"Greetings, Lord Warmaster." The Angel of Pardon said in the video, "We are still lurking in the dark stars, and the clues indicate that your interpretation of the Son of Betrayal is correct. The Lion King has discovered deeper clues, and we have now separated from the Blood Angels fleet. Because what is happening next is a bit too... My Lord, the events that took place here are too shocking even with the training I have received."

The agent saw that the veteran was trying to find the right words.

"My Lord Warmaster, you will see the full report on this place. The data link is in the letter."

The Angel of Pardon in the video continued, "Your foresight is correct, and your interpretation of the omen is correct. A complete report on this matter is also attached to this letter and locked with your No. 22 encryption scheme."

"The Lion has confirmed the return of Horus and is approaching, he is moving deeper into the Dark Stars."

Hearing the name of this son of betrayal, and hearing that he had once again returned from the mists of history, the agent felt dizzy. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, he still wanted to find a place to sit down and digest the news.

But he remained standing, because he knew that the Warmaster's office was not a place where he could act recklessly.

Just hearing this name made the agent's heart unconsciously hang in the air, but when he heard the next sentence in the video, his heart almost died immediately.

"My Lord Warmaster, I really hope that this is the only thing I have to report at this moment, but there is a more terrifying news. The Lion discovered Fabius Bile's laboratory and found experimental data on cloning the Primarch. The experimental data is very complete, and we speculate that it may have been successful. Of course, before the Lion King sees the truth with his own eyes, these are just rumors. Regarding the accuracy or purpose of this matter..."

The pardoned angel stuttered and shook his head slowly.

"Sir, the parameters and experimental records found inside the laboratory are also recorded in the video. You are a great scholar and you must understand it better than us."

Then the image of the Angel of Pardon disappeared.

Instead, there were a large number of data parameters, which Duke witnessed, as well as attached test records.

The agent couldn't understand these parameters. He carefully observed the expression of the War Marshal. Suddenly, he found that the War Marshal, whose expression had not changed at all, frowned for a moment.

The agent's breathing also stagnated.
