Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 601 Lion King: Mighty and powerful, I can do things that the Savior cannot do!
Thanks to the previous oracle, the people of the Callist galaxy all knew that the savior was about to come.

That is a divine being sent by the Emperor, holding a holy sword, who can save everyone.

When they saw the tall sword-wielding figure reflected in the dark red mist, they thought it was the coming of the savior and could not help but chant the name of that being.

After that, the news spread at an alarming speed, like a wave spreading outward.

First, cheers broke out all around, then in the western front, and finally in the entire battlefield, the hive city, and even more areas.

"The Savior, the Savior, the Savior, the Savior has come!"

It was as if the entire planet was looking forward to and calling for that existence.

"What majesty and appeal..."

In the fog, Leon also heard the increasingly intense cheers of the people, and even his descendants were calling for the savior.

The lion's face fell even more.

Those bloodline descendants and mortal warriors all mistook him for the savior.

What is even more surprising is that the savior's appeal can reach such a level, which may only be achieved when his own father or emperor comes.

That's why it has such influence, right?
Fortunately, as the lord of the First Legion, the Lion, and also a legend, when he descended on certain planets, people welcomed him wholeheartedly.

When we show up later, it won’t be too embarrassing or affect morale.

After all, under the current circumstances, if the one who descends is not a legend but an ordinary chapter leader, it will inevitably affect the planet's resistance morale.

Just as the lion ignited his sword and moved closer, he sensed a change in the Great Daemon of Khorne.

"Save...the savior?!"

The Great Demon of Khorne looked at the body that seemed taller than himself because of the projection of mist, and there was a hint of disbelief in his hoarse and distorted voice.

Then came fear.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

He recalled the terrible deeds of the Demon Eater and Savior, such as eating demons alive, slaughtering the Chosen Ones and Demigods.

What's more, he had just witnessed with his own eyes the Savior driving a war machine to wreak havoc and crush the bloody land, and even knocked over the Blood God!
What a terrifying existence?

The story of the Savior fighting the Blood God with a Hundred-Ton King brought a huge psychological shadow to the Khorne demons, and they had little morale to go to war.

If it weren't for the Chaos Gods spreading the news that the Savior was not in Vostroya and that they had cultivated four gods who could deal with the Savior.

They may not invade this realm of reality so quickly.

Now the combined armies of the Chaos Gods are set to arrive, and it will be the largest invasion in ten thousand years.

The Chaos army will construct a giant witchcraft array with thousands of planets as sacrifices, turning this star field into the burial place of the savior, and at the same time completely destroying the empire's hope of recovery.

Make it a paradise of chaos!
However, what they didn't expect was that the savior arrived just as they began their invasion, and landed on the planet they chose to invade?
Blood God, what should I do? !

The Great Demon of Khorne took a few steps back in fear, then suddenly flapped his wings and flew to the giant building behind him, his eyes full of surprise and doubt.

If the one who came was really the savior, he would have to stay away from that existence and pray to summon the one who defeated the supreme bloodthirsty demon and was chosen by the legendary gods to deal with him.

It wasn't just the Great Demon of Khorne. As the news of the coming of the Savior spread, more demons became vigilant and the offensive weakened at once.

"They are afraid. The evil and hateful are afraid of the Savior!"

"God Emperor, we are all saved..."

After seeing the changes in the Khorne Demon, the Priest Grand Master and others became more expectant and excited.

Their evaluation of the Savior rose again, and in their minds the Savior became even more majestic and sacred.

People are full of expectations.

I hope to see the true face of the Savior with my own eyes.

At this moment, the sword-wielding figure in the mist was in the spotlight of everyone. Both humans and demons were waiting for his appearance.

boom--

A destroyed Hell Dragon crashed to the ground, causing a huge explosion, and the resulting shock wave blew away the fog in the area.

The figure in the fog was exposed to everyone.

In an instant, the entire battlefield held its breath because of the appearance of that existence, and even the artillery fire and gunfire stopped briefly.

It was a being over three meters tall, wearing a black hooded robe. The shock wave blew up his hood, revealing a face with clear lines and a beard.

He looked like an aged warrior king. Time had endowed him with experience and wisdom, and he exuded a formidable aura.

"I am Lion El'Jonson, Lion of Caliban, Primarch of the First Legion, loyal son of the Emperor..."

Leon finally had the chance to speak. He faced everyone's gaze, slowly raised his head and said so.

However, he did not see a trace of awe or surprise in people's eyes, but rather a look of loss.

what happened?

The first time the lion descended on the battlefield, the entire section collapsed, without bringing any morale bonus.

Instead it lowered morale!

This is the importance of style. If the savior’s vision special effects did not raise people’s expectations crazily.

Then when the lion returns, he will be greeted with cheers and admiration from the people.

Then gather around him and launch a fierce charge, defeating all the heretical abominations in one fell swoop.

However, before, people had the image of a savior holding a holy sword and a glittering golden giant with dazzling special effects in their minds.

The last person who appeared before him was an older warrior in a black cloak.

The psychological gap between them is really too big!
Not only the mortal warriors, but even the dark angels present were unable to react and did not quite realize what the older warrior had said.

They had only one thought in their minds:
"It's over. It was a strange black-robed warrior. The holy and great savior didn't come!"

As a result, the morale that had been boosted by the news of the "coming of the savior" was restored.

It just plummeted.

That made the frenzy that had been spreading on the battlefield disappear, and even emitted a faint atmosphere of depression.

No one cheered for the return of the lion, or expressed any opinions, as if he was just here, Tathagata.

Not a savior.

"..."

Leon just stood there, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

His scalp felt numb. This might be the most embarrassing scene of his arrival in history.

Is it possible that no one in the galaxy knows the Lord of the First Legion, the Primarch Lion?

Even his own bloodline descendants don't recognize him? !

At this moment, the lion felt a trace of sadness in his heart. He didn't expect that his legend had fallen to such a state.

In this world, nothing can be accomplished without prestige, and no warriors will be willing to follow you.

Before they were conquered, those unruly warriors would not be able to obey orders, let alone win a large-scale war.

It can even be said that the reason why the emperor was betrayed by his own son was because he hid in the palace for a long time, away from the legion and the battlefield.

Coupled with the spread of some negative news and the instigation of evil gods, the emperor's prestige was greatly undermined.

This made it impossible for him to suppress those unruly Primarchs and their children.

If the Emperor was still in the army at the time, Horus would not have dared to think of rebellion, and he would probably have been suppressed by other beings as soon as he showed his head.

Then they beat him up and handed him over to the emperor to show their loyalty.

This is also the reason why the Savior worked so hard to create the atmosphere. It is too dangerous to remain invisible and away from military power for a long time.

I'm afraid that apart from the emperor, no other emperor would dare to be so reckless. Of course, the emperor was forced to do so due to the situation at that time.

He thought he could hold on, but Terra was beaten up.

The Savior has deeply analyzed and learned the lessons of the Emperor, and maintains divine majesty every time he appears.

Moreover, a celebration ceremony would be arranged every time a planet was reached, and military parades would be held regularly in important troop stationing areas.

Because the way of arrival has a huge impact on the image and morale, it can also build prestige and maintain one's appearance. From time to time, he can appear in the vision of imperial officials and soldiers and overlook the world.

Maintain prestige and deterrence.

In addition, he will use more publicity machines to shape his own image.

Otherwise, with his prestige continuing to decline, how could he control those high-level warriors under him?

I am afraid that even some officials and administrative personnel of the royal court will have thoughts that they shouldn’t have, and those chaotic and alien enemies will become even more arrogant.

But now the savior's prestige is like the shining sun and an indestructible golden body. Not many people dare to assassinate him.

"Your Highness?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the other side. It was the priest and mentor Sappho. He reacted immediately:

"God Emperor, the genetic father of our Dark Angels, the lion, has returned!"

There was a prophecy spread among the inner circle of the Dark Angels that their Primarch was about to awaken and return to the Imperium, and now the Lion has truly been seen.

He finally realized that the prophecy had come true!
It was undoubtedly a lion, although it looked older than in the portrait, but no one could imitate its posture and momentum.

More importantly, the moment he saw the other person, he had a vague feeling of blood connection.

It's just that they were caught up in the frenzy of "the coming of the savior" and ignored this change.

"Your Highness!"

The Dark Angels all responded, paying respect to their Gene-Father using ancient rituals.

Those bloodline descendants were all excited about the return of the Gene Father, and their morale improved.

Recovered some of the decline.

But the lion was still keenly aware that the dark angels were still not as excited about him as they were about the savior before, there was some gap.

This made him feel a little bit lost.

Fortunately, these bloodline descendants did not run away with the savior like the fallen angels, which made him feel a little comforted.

This lion is almost suffering from psychological trauma because of this incident.

Boom!
The Great Demon of Khorne flapped his wings, leaped from the top of the giant building, and fell heavily to the ground.

Large amounts of magma splashed out.

He returned to the battlefield, aggressive and aggressive.

There was even a hint of excitement and disdain: "Hahahaha, Blood God, this is not the savior!"

The roar of the Blood God Warrior spread, causing the demons to cheer, as if they were going to win. As long as the savior didn't come, everything would be fine.

It seems that except for the savior, all other existences in the human empire are vulnerable.

The demons' morale and cheers sounded so harsh to the lions and dark angels.

There is nothing that can be done about this. The demons are quite wary of the Savior, and they were a little panicked when they heard that the Savior was coming.

Now it sounds like he is not a savior.

This mentality is like when the demons heard that the Cursed were coming to attack, and then found out that it was a weakling Guilliman without the Holy Sword.

You have to get excited.

However, the performance of the demons made the Lion feel the disparity between the Primarchs.

What a humiliation!
"This must all change..."

Leon thought to himself.

He pulled off his black cloak, revealing the heavy, mottled Primarch's armour, which was equipped with a lot of dark technology and armor.

It looks quite imposing.

The lion has already realized one problem, which is that his prestige is insufficient. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult to lead the team.

The only way now is to find a strong enough enemy and establish prestige.

And the Great Demon of Khorne in front of him is the best target.

"I am not a savior, but I am enough to make you repent in pain."

Instead of igniting the blade's force field, the Lion retracted the sword and walked towards the Daemon of Khorne with his bare hands.

He was going to defeat this blasphemous abomination in a more shocking way.

"I know you are the Primarch of the Empire. You are a good opponent. Your head is mine!"

The Great Demon of Khorne, who had just been promoted to the top ten, roared, rushed towards the lion, and smashed it hard with his huge fist.

This made the dark angels who witnessed all this hold their breath. The size difference between the two sides was too great. Their genetic father was not even half as tall as the other.

However, Leon did not dodge, but clenched his fist and swung it out, meeting the opponent's fist.

Bang!
The two fists collided with tremendous force, producing violent sparks.

The cyclone that formed kicked up dust and sand, and even overturned the iron sheets nearby.

"This is impossible!"

The Great Demon Khorne looked at the lion that caught his heavy punch, his eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.

Even if it was a Primarch, it would be impossible for him to take his punch head-on. He had experience with this because he had knocked down another Primarch decades ago.

Guilliman of the Ultramarines.

If it weren't for the fact that the Primarch had a strong ability to recover, he would have been able to get up and pick up the Holy Sword of the Cursed.

I would have killed the other person long ago.

But now that he has become even stronger, the fist he threw with all his strength was blocked head-on?!
The Great Demon of Khorne was unwilling to give up, and suddenly punched out again, which created more whistling sounds and left only a bloody afterimage in the eyes of the Space Marines.

As for ordinary human warriors, they couldn't even observe.

That was beyond the limits of their visual capture.

After the air shook, the Great Demon of Khorne's pupils shrank sharply, because the lion caught his fist again, and caught it with his palm.

"You're not strong enough."

Leon sneered, exerted force suddenly, crushed the brass gauntlet with great force, and grasped the opponent's fist.

Making it difficult for the opponent to retreat.

Then he kicked it hard, sending it flying and crashing into a giant building.

The Dark Angel became more and more excited.

The Great Demon of Khorne that made them despair was defeated so easily?

"Die, die, die!"

The Great Demon of Khorne became even more angry, his body burning with red flames, and he took out his bloody axe and swung it fatally.

The metal columns of the giant building were like bubbles, shattering at the slightest touch.

The fierce wind formed by the blood axe almost surrounded the lion, and it seemed that it would be killed in the next second.

Leon still did not use his weapon, but stared at his opponent closely.

Now he no longer relies solely on his brute force and resilience as before, but has another weapon to win -

Focus.

He became more patient.

Robert's ability to focus on dozens of things at once, and to accomplish them at speeds far beyond that of a mere mortal, makes him an excellent master of logistics.

But because of this, he can only be regarded as a qualified fighter.

At least that's the case among the Primarchs.

Because he can't concentrate all his energy on one thing.

Not focused enough.

After briefly humiliating the annoying guy in his mind, Leon focused all his energy on the opponent in front of him.

He dodged the attack of the Blood Axe as if he was strolling in the garden, and then dealt a heavy blow to the opponent.

After only a few seconds of contact, the Great Demon of Khorne suffered more than ten wounds all over his body, and even his brass armor was badly tattered.

The lion destroyed his armor with his bare hands. What a terrifying power!
"hateful!"

The Khorne demons finally got scared and tried to turn around and flee, but it was too late. More attacks came like a storm...

Just one minute later.

The Dark Angels saw the figure of the Lion, who walked out dragging the incomplete body of Khorne, and the giant building behind him collapsed.

This scene is so shocking.

In front of everyone, Lion threw the remnants of Khorne to the ground like garbage. The opponent's wings were torn apart, and even his limbs were twisted into strange shapes.

That was enough to show how terrifying the lion was. He had managed to destroy a top-ranked Khorne Daemon!

He stared at the dying Daemon of Khorne:

"Tell your blasphemous companions that the lion protects Vostroya. No matter how many troops you send, they will only be destroyed."

The Great Demon of Khorne knew that he had no hope of escape, and in fear he left his last words:

"Haha, what a ridiculous idea.

More Chaos hordes are coming, you can't protect this place, not even the Savior can, kill!"

"Then let them do it."

Lion didn't react much. He stomped on the head of the Great Demon of Khorne and sent it back to the hell of abomination.

However, before the Dark Angels could celebrate the Gene-Father's destruction of their powerful enemy, the aura of chaos grew thicker.

More Chaos hordes arrived, huge abomination engines and burning armies tearing through one defense line after another.

They wantonly slaughtered any life they saw.

Humanity wails in agony.

In the trenches.

The Astra Militarum soldier dragged his deformed body and trembled as he begged:

"Great Emperor, please save us helpless lambs..."

Before his eyes was the spreading tide of chaos, and the demon engine easily overturned the roaring super-heavy tank.

It seemed as if nothing could stop this evil.

Despair has arrived!

"Your Highness, we no longer have enough troops to stop this evil abomination!"

The Grand Priest Mentor said worriedly.

Just now, the Gene-Father destroyed the Great Daemon of Khorne with unstoppable force.

That is certainly exciting, but the lack of manpower cannot be remedied by individual force.

Even though their genetic father is almost invincible.

"Don't worry, we can destroy these demons."

Leon said this without much worry.

"what?!"

The lion's words surprised the dark angels.

"The Forbidden Legion has been deployed. Prepare to organize a counterattack."

Leon gave one order after another without much explanation.

His voice is so soothing.

The dark angels chose to believe without hesitation that the lion had proved what he said through the battle just now.

He can protect his own bloodline, descendants and human beings.

"God Emperor, the Callisto Galaxy is saved, the Vostronia Pan-Star Region is saved..."

Grand Priest Sappho thought silently in his heart that the return of the Father of Genes brought blessings.

Even without a savior, they can defeat evil and hatred!
Leon looked at the dark and chaotic army surging on the horizon, like a tsunami more than ten meters high.

He thought silently in his heart: "Let me complete what the Savior cannot do. I, Leon, will protect Vostronia.

Father...I can protect the empire and humanity!"

As soon as the lion's order was given, the light of transmission came on.

People were surprised to find that one after another ugly multi-armed humanoid machines several meters high and more huge forbidden vehicles appeared on the defense lines everywhere.

The terrifying deterrent power of the abominable machine caused the demons' charge to slow down.

Those are forbidden legacies from the era of dark technology, with extremely vicious killing power——

Extermination Machine Corps!
