Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 600 Lion King: Sad, is this how my cubs welcome the return of the Gene Father?!
Inside the ruined hive fortress.

Looking out from the terrace of the fortress, one sees a doomsday scene of collapse.

The dark red mist leaking from the subspace engulfed one city area after another.

Screaming, twisted things flew through the air, and flaming skeletons crawled out of the ground.

The demon engines and hell dragons spewing magma were crushing any buildings they could see.

These demonic abominations created death and destruction, enjoying their own feast, and the land was filled with the wails of dying humans.

Boom boom boom!
Occasional explosions and collapses caused the entire fortress to shake, with sand and rubble falling.

The virtual sandbox in the center of the hall had already turned red, and was trembling slightly under the interference of the explosion and sand, while more gravel fell on the dark green armor, making a tinkling sound.

They were two dark angels with eagle wings on their armor. They were leaning on their swords and looking at the virtual sandbox with heavy expressions.

"Perhaps we don't need to look at the map of the Callisto system anymore. It's meaningless."

The Dark Angels' Fifth Captain Lazarus' voice was filled with dejection:

"In the past few hours, we have lost thousands of our battle-brothers, tens of millions of Astra Militarum casualties, and billions of lives across four worlds.

We didn't even have the chance to evacuate the population. The loyal warriors of the Empire were massacred by the Chaos abominations. Even if we tried our best to stop it, there was no way to undo what happened.

Moreover, the Imperial Navy in the galaxy was under-strength and unable to protect all areas, and even messages for help were difficult to send.

Lord Saffo, we should consider evacuating and go to the capital of the star zone to organize new forces, otherwise we will lose everything!"

The Dark Angels Captain's meaning was clear.

That is to abandon part of the area, retain the remaining forces, and then seek support from the sector capital, Vostronia.

To gather more Space Marine chapters.

The Grand Priest and High-ranking Interrogator Sappho, who was carrying a holy box with a cross and armor embellished with scriptures and various torture instruments, listened patiently but did not react much.

He stared at the fifth captain and said slowly, "Lazarus, you are the one who hates Chaos the most among us. I thought you would choose to stay and fight to the end."

The Captain of the Fifth had been at the defense of the Rock, had seen the Dark Angels' homeworld desecrated and his own company nearly destroyed.

He was the only one who survived.

After that, he took charge of the company alone and served as the company commander, and slowly began to restore the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Company.

But that incident had a profound impact on the captain, causing him to hate Chaos to an even greater degree.

"Yes, I hate those demons. No one hates them more than we do."

Lazarus took a deep breath and said, “But if we cannot survive and protect this sector, how many more humans will die in the future?

We need to pull back our fists, accumulate strength, and then swing them out again, so that we can inflict more damage on the hatred."

“I agree with your suggestion.

However, Chaos Abomination did not just occur in the Callistoth system, but erupted throughout the Vostroia Pan-Stellar region.

The sector capital would only be under more pressure, and the cousins ​​responsible for protecting it would have no way of sending more support.

Saffo shook his head slowly, rejecting the Fifth Captain's suggestion:
"If we leave here, it means evacuating the entire system. The Knights of Caliban have abandoned an entire empire.

There is no honor in allowing the people of the empire to die.

What's more, we have no chance to retreat, as the airport in low-Earth orbit has long been occupied and destroyed by Chaos.

If we leave our current defense line, it will only create more danger..."

After the Grand Priest finished speaking, the hall fell silent again, which meant that the Dark Angels only had one choice left.

That is to stick to it!
At this time, the think tank mentor came hurriedly.

His body was still filled with traces of psychic arcs, the gray in his pupils had not yet dissipated, and there was a hint of excitement on his face:
"Lord Sappho, I have news of reinforcements."

The words of the think tank mentor dispelled the dullness in the hall. Even the great mentor Sappho was a little surprised:
"Reinforcements?
Which brother chapter has come, and how many of them are there? ! "

"No, it's an oracle. I received an oracle from His Majesty the Divine Emperor."

The think tank mentor looked at us with a hint of piety: "In this dark moment, the Emperor of God has favored us and bestowed a miracle upon us. A being chosen by Him will come to save us!"

"You mean... a miracle?"

Hearing this, the dark angels in the hall were all a little excited.

For the Emperor's Angels on the dark side of the Empire, miracles are proven to exist, and in those desperate darkness, warriors often receive oracle visions.

Thereby inspiring greater power.

As a result, they can inherit the Black Sword, become Emperor Champions, and even influence the outcome of the battle.

But after a brief excitement, Sappho calmed down again.

The Grand Priest realized one thing: even if they welcomed an Emperor Champion, there was no way to save the situation.

Chaos's attack was too fierce.

Perhaps, the great God-Emperor showed more favor and sent His sacred legion?
As a high-ranking member of the Dark Angels, he had access to more secrets and learned more secret legends of the great God-Emperor.

That sacred legion is composed of the souls of warriors who have returned to the throne. They cannot be killed by any physical attack and can launch attacks like holy fire.

At the same time, he can also use his body to block the bombardment of heavy artillery fire.

More importantly, the Holy Legion has a strong ability to predict the future, and can always appear in any key locations and battles in time to fight for the empire.

To save the situation!

"If the Emperor had sent his holy legion, perhaps we would have been saved."

Sappho murmured.

A glimmer of hope arose in the heart of the great pastor, and his cloudy eyes revealed a hint of expectation.

"Lord Sappho, the Emperor did not send His Holy Legion..."

However, the think tank mentor's words shattered his fantasy, and he even couldn't help but reveal a hint of regret.

"Are we, the Dark Angels, the loyal warriors, the children of the Lion, not worthy of being saved?!"

But soon, Sappho nipped the seed of doubt in her heart and stopped thinking in that direction.

That would only lead to the Chaos God's trap. With the outbreak of evil energy in the subspace, ideological temptation and erosion became more frequent.

Especially for high-level beings like them who can sense the subspace.

After the think tank mentor denied the priest grand mentor's speculation, he brought more surprises.

His voice became more pious: "Although His Majesty the Divine Emperor did not send His Holy Legion, he sent us even more holy warriors.

A being chosen by Him.

That warrior, wearing the golden armor and holy sword He gave him, will descend upon Vostroya and save all mankind!

And the name of that warrior is——Primarch of Hope, Savior!"

"Savior?!"

Sappho couldn't help but pronounce the name, her voice even a little sharp because of the surprise in her heart.

The title of savior is not something that everyone can bear. Since the Emperor of God has given that existence the title of savior, it proves the other party's power and strength.

Not only the Grand Priest, but also the other Dark Angel warriors were chanting this name, and this name quickly spread throughout the hall.

These warriors developed more expectations amidst their doubts.

hum-

Suddenly, fluctuations of spiritual energy appeared in the air, and light emerged.

"Everyone, this is the oracle I saw, which is enough to prove its existence!"

The Librarian seemed to have regained his strength, and with a frenzied tone he summoned his psychic energy, reproducing in reality the oracle vision he had seen.

A picture appeared in the air, emitting golden light:

In the light of the Holy Sun, the giant figure of the Savior in golden armor appeared, holding high the Emperor's Sword.

"In the name of the Golden Sun and the Savior, I will descend upon Vostronia and dispel all darkness and evil!"

He, the savior in golden armor, said so.

"God Emperor!"

Such a sacred and shocking scene made the dark angels in the hall almost speechless, and then they subconsciously saluted the savior in golden armor.

The appearance of this oracle vision completely dispelled the doubts of the dark angels.

After seeing the scene, they immediately believed the fact without any doubt in their hearts, because no heretics or ambitious people could create such a sacred scene.

What's more, the think tank mentor had presided over the coronation of the Emperor Champion once before, so there was no way he could be wrong.

This was actually the psychic vision that the Savior had sent to the Pan-Stellar region of Vostroia, and because he had been imitating the Emperor for years, he had long been able to make the fake look real.

Make the think tank mentor who received the vision think it was the Emperor's oracle.

In fact, he also conveyed more information, such as the truth about the war, the possible arrival time of reinforcements, and other temporary support forces.

There is also some information about the Lions, I hope he can cooperate.

Unfortunately, most of the information was destroyed by the fel storm, and only a tiny amount was able to be transmitted to the Vostronia Pan-Stellar region.

And against the backdrop of holy light and vision, it looks more like an oracle prophecy given by the Emperor.

"Miracle, this is a miracle."

Sappho spoke slowly, putting the final conclusion to this oracle vision:

“Although it is somewhat unbelievable, the fact is that the God-Emperor has favored us and sent a new Primarch named the Savior.

I know that holy sword. It was the personal sword of the God-Emperor. No one except a great figure like the Primarch can wield it.

That Primarch of Hope, that Savior, will come to save us, save this system, save Vostronia.

He will drive away all darkness!"

The words of the Grand Priest Mentor inspired the Dark Angels.

He also knew that in this darkest hour, both the Dark Angels and the Imperial Army that were still fighting needed more hope.

So as not to be completely desperate.

Now that their hope has come, they must pass this hope on to more beings.

Sappho gave the order:
“Lazarus, contact all companies and Imperial commanders and spread the word about the Savior. We have hope for redemption.

We will hold out until the coming of the Savior, that divine being who is about to descend!"

Following the order of the Grand Priest, the news of the Savior's arrival and the virtual projection of the sacred scene were transmitted to all parts of the planet. More and more humans saw the Savior's sacred and heroic figure, as well as his calm strength.

This made the soldiers who held on even more excited, believing that the one holding the Emperor's Sword would come to save them and destroy the heresy and evil.

The artillery fire in the dark red fog suddenly became fierce.

This information was then transmitted from this planet to the other three worlds in the Callisto system, inspiring more will to resist.

"For the Emperor!"

The roars of countless humans spread throughout this galaxy, some even dragged their deformed bodies and perished together with the chaotic life.

This brought Chaos' offensive to a brief halt.

That was only temporary, as Chaos soon counterattacked, and more powerful abominable demons began to land and wreak havoc on the planet.

However, humans no longer have the same fear as before.

What humans fear most is losing hope and sinking into despair.

Now they have hope and a reason to persevere, and their will to resist is burning!
Inside the ruined hive fortress.

Sappho and others received the latest battle report. The news about the savior completely boosted the morale of the fighting brothers and the imperial army.

They were able to hold out longer than expected.

Such good news surprised them, and they believed that they could hold on until the coming of the savior.

However, the following news made them worried.

A terrifying Chaos Demon appeared.

He directly destroyed the city wall fortress and killed several squads of knights. The last priest was leading the remaining squad in a desperate resistance.

"It's time for us to fight and deal with that evil abomination!"

The Grand Priest picked up the long-handled battle axe that looked like a torture instrument, and his priest robe and scriptures fluttered in the hot wind from the explosion.

Well known.

Priests who are combat priests are generally the most powerful among the Space Marines, and this is especially true for Grand Priests.

Soon after, the Thunderhawk gunship flew out from a helipad in the fortress and rushed to the battlefield on the west side.

……

At the same time, the ruins battlefield.

"For the Lion!"

The priest ignited the blade's force field and led the knight squad into the dark red mist, rushing towards the huge demonic shadow.

Roar--

A terrifying roar was heard.

The sound waves visible to the naked eye dispersed the fog and caused the knight team to suffer unbearable pain.

Only the priest with a strong spirit resisted the attack of the sound waves. He suddenly leaped up and slashed at the demon shadow, and then there was a sharp sound of twisting steel.

"Do not……"

The knight squad looked up, their eyes bloodshot.

"Tsk, little bug."

The burning demon body appeared in everyone's sight, with two huge sharp horns pointing into the sky.

He was holding the priest in his hand, blood flowing out from the cracks between his palms and dripping onto the ground.

The Great Demon of Khorne crushed the priest's armor and body!
The Great Golem of Khorne threw away the body of the priest like garbage, sat down on the ruins of the Emperor's statue, and overlooked the squad of knights in front of it.

He looked at these loyal warriors as if they were some harmless little toys.

"Kneel down and beg for mercy, or... find a stronger warrior."

The Great Demon of Khorne suddenly attacked and smashed a Dark Angel who tried to attack, and spoke in broken low Gothic, his voice like the friction of countless spikes.

He wasn't even interested in continuing to attack, but instead planned to play with these small desserts and wait for the main course to arrive.

A suffocating atmosphere spread across the battlefield.

bang bang bang-

Suddenly, the bomb hit the burning demon body, causing a series of sparks to burst out.

The knights suppressed their fear and attacked this invincible enemy.

They knew they had no chance of escape, and rather than being desecrated and slaughtered, they would rather die gloriously as knights.

"Pathetic bug."

The Great Demon Khorne was a little annoyed and raised his hand to kill these Dark Angel warriors, but the next moment, artillery fire exploded on him.

That was the anti-aircraft gun mounted on the Thunderhawk gunboat.

This attracted the attention of the Great Daemon of Khorne.

He stood up and looked up at the gunboat in mid-air. Two high-level warriors jumped out of the open hatch and fell to the ground.

The ruins slabs were shattered.

That was Lazarus, Captain of the Dark Angels, and the Librarian Mentor.

After they landed, they immediately attacked the Great Daemon of Khorne from different directions with heavy bombs and psychic flames in order to contain this existence.

"Humph!"

However, the Great Daemon of Khorne simply raised his hand nonchalantly to slap away the incoming heavy bombs or psychic flames, or allowed the attacks to hit the heavy brass armor.

Didn't even move.

His eyes were still fixed on the gunboat. The figure of the Grand Priest appeared in the hatch area, and the sacred scriptures engraved on his armor glowed faintly.

"Death to heretics!"

The Grand Priest Sappho found the opportunity to attack, leaped down from mid-air with a roar, and swung his battle axe down with the help of inertia.

The force field of the battle axe exploded!

At this time, Captain Lazarus attracted the attention of the Khorne Daemon with a heavy alchemical bomb, and the think tank mentor took the opportunity to release psychic witchcraft to temporarily restrain the opponent.

The Great Daemon of Khorne had no way to escape, and the battle axe of the Grand Priest struck down upon his head -

when!
When the smoke from the alchemical bomb cleared, everyone saw the two warring parties again. The Grand Master's battle axe chopped into the shoulder armor of the Khorne Daemon, and turbid black blood flowed out.

"Warrior, you have failed."

The Great Demon of Khorne showed a ferocious smile, with obvious scratches on his horns. He turned his head away at the moment the battle axe was chopped down, avoiding the fatal blow.

Dang Dang Dang!
Sappho suddenly drew out his battle axe and continued to attack with the cooperation of two other high-level warriors, but they did not achieve much result.

Those attacks could not cause any serious damage to the Great Daemon of Khorne.

"You are not strong enough, bring stronger warriors!"

This top-ranked Khorne Daemon seemed to be annoyed, and roared, burning with more flames, his entire body swelling red.

He had no interest in playing with these weak warriors any longer, and grabbed the Grand Master's battle axe.

"what!!!"

The demonic power and flames that suddenly erupted spread to the Grand Master's body, exerting more pressure and causing him to scream.

The sacred scriptures engraved on the being's armor burned out at an extremely fast speed.

bang——

The Great Demon of Khorne punched the Grand Master away, and his thick tail swept away two other high-level warriors.

Such a terrifying force directly dealt a heavy blow to them.

Sappho and the others fell into the ruins, cracks appeared on their armor, and even the power system failed.

Before they could get up, the Great Demon of Khorne was already in front of them, overlooking them like a small mountain.

This made Sappho and the others feel a little desperate. They had no strength to resist.

whoosh-

However, at this moment, something suddenly changed in the sky.

A fleet broke through the storm barrier at some point and arrived above the planet, followed by a dazzling meteor falling towards this side.

There are more meteors behind.

That's the drop pod... their reinforcements are coming?!
Bang bang bang.

Suddenly, a Helldrake crossed the line of defense and attacked the leading drop pod.

However, before the attack arrived, the airdrop pod was blown open, and the existence inside broke through the airdrop pod in advance and destroyed the Hell Dragon at an extremely fast speed.

Then, along with the wreckage of the Hell Dragon, it fell to the ground from the sky.

Boom! ! !

A huge cloud of dust rose up, mixed with dark red mist.

A huge sword-wielding figure appeared in the dark red mist. The momentum was so astonishing that even the sound of singing could be heard faintly in the surrounding air.

He was coming towards Khorne, Sappho and others.

"Such power..."

Sappho looked at the imposing figure in the mist, and made eye contact with the company commander and the think tank mentor, their eyes full of anticipation and surprise.

It was definitely that existence, the one in the oracle vision.

He... has arrived!

Finally, the huge figure in the dark red mist spoke, and his voice was so majestic:
"I am, Lai..."

At this time, the cheers of surprise from the Dark Angels warriors around him drowned out his words:
"God Emperor, the savior has arrived!"

"Savior, Savior!"

???

In the dark red mist, the words of the First Primarch, the Lion Leon, were choked in his throat.

He was stunned, his majestic face collapsed...
