The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 426: Praise the Lord of Change! Warp Demon! Summoning Array!
boom--!
The hull of the Radiance vibrated slightly due to the firing, and Amon could clearly feel the vibration coming from the deck.

He felt very solemn.

Because joining the battlefield are not only the Death Guard, but also the battleship arrays of the Space Wolves, Dark Angels and Ultramarines.

The Thousand Sons Legion had a similar number of warships as the Death Guard, but with the participation of the other three Primarchs, the Thousand Sons Legion instantly fell into an absolute disadvantage.

If the battle continues like this, the Thousand Sons Legion will be destroyed sooner or later!

"What should we do... If we don't get rid of the Death Guard's blockade first, we won't be able to find a way out!" Amon felt extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Sekhmet put forward his opinion to Amon in time: "The Death Guard is closest to us now. I suggest we get close to them and fight them in close combat!"

"In this way, the Ultramarines, Dark Angels, and Space Wolves will not dare to open fire on us. After all, doing so will also accidentally damage the Death Guard's warships."

As an elite Terminator veteran of the Thousand Sons Legion, Sekhmet has extensive combat experience. Although he is under the command of Azek Ahriman, he can be considered a half-Terra warrior.

But his idea was the same as Amon's. Sekhmet was unwilling to die in such humiliation before finding out the truth.

Hearing this, Amon's eyes lit up: "Good idea, let's do it!"

Amon did not have much experience in directing interstellar wars. Most of the time, he stayed in the rear, doing some logistics, researching psychic theory, and training intelligence personnel such as the Invisibles.

His ability is roughly equivalent to that of the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He only knows a little bit about commanding a legion to fight and doesn't know much.

If there were no other legion commanders with rich combat experience to give advice, Amon might not have the confidence to fight against four primarchs at the same time.

Soon, as Amon's orders were passed on, the Thousand Sons Legion's battleship array quickly approached the Death Guard.

The artillery fire from the four Primarch Legions fell on the fleet of the Thousand Sons Legion like dense raindrops, causing ripples to appear in the shield force field.

The warships surrounding the Thousand-foot Light were shaking wildly because of the artillery attacks.

They were bearing the heaviest fire attack in order to protect the flagship, and the durability of their shield field was rapidly decreasing.

Bang-!
After a while, on the silent space battlefield, the shield field of a battleship was completely overloaded, and the dense artillery fire instantly swallowed it.

A dazzling burst of flames broke out, and the first warship sacrificed in the Imperial Civil War appeared.

The battleship carried five hundred Astartes warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion, including many veterans who had made great military achievements.

But in the face of the empire's supreme power struggle, they could only become innocent pawns, annihilated by their own artillery fire.

"Speed ​​up and get closer to the Death Guard!"

Amon, who witnessed this scene, was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, and his angry voice echoed in the communication channel of the Thousand Sons Legion.

The psychic wizards of the Thousand Sons Legion chanted and cast all kinds of vicious curses on the shells, enchanting the cannons that were about to be fired.

Some of the shells blessed by wizards can bring terrible virus plagues, while others can paralyze the enemy's warship engine systems.

Some can even shatter the souls of soldiers in enemy warships. The various curse effects all depend on the wizard's improvisation.

What Mortarion hated most in his life was this type of wizard, and he was most afraid of this type of psychic-powered artillery attack.

That's why they are so anxious to wipe out the Thousand Sons Legion as soon as possible this time.

Rumble——!
The explosion of the first battleship seemed to have caused an ominous chain reaction of destruction, with more and more Thousand Sons Legion battleships being defeated due to shield overload.

They exploded one by one and turned into dazzling lotuses of death.

The periphery of the Thousand Sons Legion's battleship array almost turned into a burning sea of ​​fire, and a large amount of ship wreckage floated helplessly in the space, like a whale heading towards the end of its life.

Many Thousand Sons warriors did not perish in the sea of ​​fire along with their warships. They were thrown into outer space by the huge impact force.

He painfully endured the impact of the battleship wreckage, the lack of oxygen after the power armor was broken, and the machine gun fire from other Primarch battleships.

The weightless environment of space made these once agile and strong Astartes warriors as clumsy as newborn babies. They were unable to fight and could only passively accept their death at the hands of their comrades.

This heart-breaking tragic scene made the soldiers on both sides extremely distressed.

But the blinding glare of the artillery and the scarlet blood temporarily paralyzed the compassion in their hearts, and the vibrating artillery infinitely magnified their savagery.

When the primitive desire to kill takes over one's reason, all that remains is a fight to the death.

"Hurry up! Speed ​​up!"

Amon felt extremely anxious as he gritted his teeth.

Under his command, the Thousand Sons Legion's battleship array did approach the Death Guard, but the cunning Mortarion seemed to have seen through his conspiracy.

He actually followed suit and issued orders, asking the Death Guard and the Thousand Sons Legion to keep their distance, so that the two sides always remained in a delicate range.

This scene is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. No matter how hard the donkey runs, it cannot reach the target that is so close yet so far away.

During this period, the warship artillery from the Space Wolves and Dark Angels continued to pour towards the warships of the Thousand Sons Legion.

Since Russ and Ryan had to keep an eye on Magnus who might appear at any time, they did not send their flagship to join the attack.

They only launched a symbolic round of fire attack with their secondary guns, and then sent out other cruisers and frigates to carry out a encirclement and suppression operation.

Guilliman was not completely serious about the attack. His flagship was only targeting the Thousand Sons' wing fleet and he did not want to directly destroy the opponent's Thousand Sons' Radiance.

But even so, the Thousand Sons Legion's fleet was still disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Amon was about to despair.

Being one against four was already a situation of great disparity in strength, and now the opponent's tactical command was quite methodical, so they simply couldn't find any chance to break through the siege.

Bang——! !

On the dazzling space battlefield, two more warships of the Thousand Sons Legion crashed.

Up to now, the Thousand Sons Legion has not achieved any substantial results. Its own casualties have reached one-eighth, and more than ten thousand Thousand Sons warriors have died.

These powerful Astartes warriors can be called "demigods" in the human world.

But in this death battlefield of Ragnarok, their demise is just like that of lowly ants.

According to the development of the subsequent battle, the Thousand Sons Legion will most likely be buried in the Prospero system.

But unknowingly, the Thousand Sons Legion's battleship array approached the edge of a Mandeville Point. In this star field, the subspace and the real universe are extremely close.

"Strange, I seem to hear some sound that comes and goes..."

In the inner corridor of a warship of the Thousand Sons Legion, an Astartes warrior named Wayne stopped and asked his partner Gad if he had heard the strange sound.

"How is this possible? Aren't there only the footsteps of the two of us here?" Gad looked puzzled, puzzled by Wayne's vigilance. The interior of each Thousand Sons warship was engraved with psychic runes, which could block all kinds of ordinary noises. He didn't hear anything except the footsteps of himself and Wayne.

Hiss——!!

This time, the strange sound almost suddenly exploded in Wade's ears, which made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he tensed his muscles all over.

"It can't be wrong! There is movement here!"

Wayne held a chainsword in one hand and a staff in the other, and looked around vigilantly, but Gard still heard nothing. Instead, he thought that Wayne was suffering from neurasthenia and was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations.

However, Wayne completely ignored his companions' advice. The strange noises he heard became louder and louder, as if countless invisible and intangible ghosts were surrounding his ears.

"Oh no! Something dirty has sneaked in. Report the situation here to Amon immediately!"

Wayne finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

Just when Gad took out the communication device and prepared to report the situation here, he suddenly discovered that Wayne's head had disappeared out of thin air at some point!

The junction between the head and the torso showed a smooth cut, as if it had been cut on the execution platform.

"Damn it!"

While Gad was swinging his chainsword desperately in all directions, he opened the communication channel to report what was happening here.

"Report to headquarters, enemies have entered the battleship, they are likely to be Ya...!"

The words stopped abruptly.

Gad's head also disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a headless corpse behind.

Accompanied by a strange hissing sound, the space around the two corpses distorted, and two translucent unknown creatures emerged out of nowhere.

This is none other than the demonic entity from the Warp!
They have already completed mutation and parasitism in the bodies of many Thousand Sons Legion warriors, and now it is just the process of taking over the bodies.

At this moment, a large amount of blood gushed out from the power armor. The falling blood formed a strange rune pattern. The powerful psychic energy fluctuations echoed in the subspace and quickly received responses from more demons.

Soon, the two headless corpses began to move again, and the original human heads had been replaced by erratic translucent objects.

As time went by, the two new heads took on new features, with rotten flesh, festering sores, and inexplicably protruding lumps of flesh.

The demons in the subspace successfully used the bodies of Wayne and Gad to descend to the real universe.

"Praise the Lord of Change—!"

A dry, deep voice echoed in the corridor.

Then, the two demons crawled on the ground, using the blood on the ground to continue expanding the pattern of the summoning rune. The walls and floors of the entire corridor were covered with obscure runes.

It was not until a long time later that the Astartes team arrived to check the situation and discovered the abnormal situation.

"What are you doing!"

The Astartes warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion were all knowledgeable psykers. They could tell at a glance that those scarlet, evil runes were magic arrays for summoning evil gods and demons from the Warp.

"Damn it! Kill them!"

The captain immediately gave the order and took out his own grenade launcher, but for some reason, his fingers seemed to be frozen and he couldn't pull the trigger.

The same was true for several other warriors. Various parts of their bodies became extremely stiff, and where the mutated flesh and blood had regrown, more mutated parts appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, the "injury" that had been healed by the evil god of the subspace began to erupt even more severely.

Under the stunned and horrified gazes of the Astartes warriors, the demons in the Warp easily devoured their souls and took over their bodies through the mutated flesh and summoning array.

"Praise the Lord of Change."

Afterwards, these Astartes warriors possessed by demons continued to draw runes with blood to expand and improve the summoning circle.

Similar situations also occurred in other warships of the Thousand Sons Legion. For a while, a small number of Astartes warriors would not attract much attention.

Especially now when the battle with other Primarchs is in full swing.

But paper cannot cover the fire after all.

The continuous distress signals made Amon notice the abnormal situation inside his own warship.

"They sent an elite team to board and land? This shouldn't be possible!" Amon frowned.

Although the warriors of the Thousand Sons Legion may not be able to compare with the warriors of ace troops such as the Luna Wolves and Space Wolves in close combat.

But it is impossible for him to last until he can send and report a complete piece of intelligence.

Even the most elite Valajir Wolf Guards under Russ could not do this!
What's more, they were still far away from the Space Wolves, Ultramarines, and Dark Angels, and the other side could only rely on artillery strikes to touch their warships.

There is no possibility of boarding and landing at all.

As for the Death Guard? That's even more impossible!

At this moment, Mortarion was eager to stay away from the Thousand Sons Legion, so how could he arrange troops to join them?

Since none of these possibilities exist, what could be the reason?

"Amon, my psychic power seems to have become much stronger... Could it be the Warp?"

Just then, Anku Enan suddenly spoke.

Amon suddenly realized that he had thought of the most terrible possibility!
This is near Mandeville Point, where the Warp and the real world overlap, and it is easier for psychics like them to borrow the power of the Warp here.

But at the same time, the mysterious power in the subspace will in turn affect the real world!
What else could this ominous thing in the warp be...

"Oh no! It's the demons in the subspace!"

Amon's face turned pale immediately. The Warp Demon appeared at a really bad time. At this moment, the four Primarchs were still staring at the Thousand Sons Legion.

As a result, that damn demon showed up at this moment. Doesn't this prove the guilt of the Thousand Sons Legion? Is the Emperor's extermination order still correct?
In this way, their "clearing the court" would really become treason.

"Hurry up and gather all the warships to enter the anti-subspace force field of the Universal Corporation. Everyone should immediately stop external attacks, conduct internal inspections, and quickly eliminate all invading subspace demons!"

Amon's reaction was quick.

As his orders were given, the scattered battleship arrays of the Thousand Sons Legion quickly gathered together and headed towards the direction of the Universal Enterprise.
