The giant corporations that started from Night City

Chapter 459: Besieged by the Chaos Legion! The True Lord of Ultramar!

"It's finally here, I hope we're still in time."

The moment the Explorer King jumped out of Mandeville Point, Cawl and Evelyne saw the planet Macragge at the same time, but at this moment Macragge was surrounded by countless Chaos legions.

Countless Chaos warships are engaged in fierce combat with the Ultramarines in low Earth orbit.

The dazzling artillery fire kept flashing, and the burning wreckage of the warships floated everywhere on the space battlefield. In this chaotic and tragic battlefield, death could come to everyone at any time.

"We have to hurry up."

Celestine, the Living Saint, looked at the chaos on the battlefield in the distance and said calmly, "The Emperor will protect us and help us achieve the final victory."

In the Warhammer universe, a living saint refers to an Imperial believer who possesses divine power sufficient to cause miracles. Their miraculous powers include but are not limited to the ability to resurrect themselves and their companions.

The sacred aura force field it carries can also make it immune to damage caused by mortals.

Celestine from the Horus Heresy was one of the most famous living saints in the Empire.

Evelyne nodded.

Although the God-Emperor had his limbs amputated and could no longer get off the golden toilet, he could still project his influence from Terra to the distant Macragge.

Part of the power of the Living Saint Celestine also comes from the projection of the Emperor's power.

"We have successfully contacted Macragge's guards. We will be sent to Hera Fortress in a moment. The Lord of Macragge will be waiting for us there."

The great sage Kaul spoke.

The Lord of Macragge he was referring to was not actually Robouti Guilliman, but Marius Augustus Calgar, the active Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Legion.

"Hera Fortress? That's not a suitable place to land."

Inquisitor Katarina frowned slightly, a look of fear emerging on her face. Hera Fortress is the monastery and headquarters of the Ultramarines Legion.

Similarly, this is also the core attack area of ​​the Chaos Legion.

The resurrection of Guilliman was kept highly confidential, and no one except Archmagos Cawl himself and Evelyne knew about it.

Katarina had no idea why Call had risked his life to come here.

However, as an inquisitor of the Inquisition of the Human Empire, she had already dedicated her life and loyalty to the supreme God-Emperor.

Even if it means death, she would not hesitate!

"Time is running out. We must rush over on the assault boat as quickly as possible before the Chaos Legion notices our arrival."

At Caul's command, a brand new assault boat was ready in the engine room, and everyone turned and left, heading for the hangar two floors below.

……

At this moment, the Emperor has landed near the Macragge system on a Megacorp warship and is observing everything happening on the space battlefield through a holographic screen.

He could not help but feel sad as he watched the peaceful and prosperous Macragge burn in the flames of war and tens of thousands of Chaos troops invade the human world.

Obviously, in this parallel universe without the help of the giant corporations, the human empire has collapsed and been destroyed.

"It seems that I in this world was unable to save the situation."

The Emperor let out a deep sigh.

Before the arrival of the Cosmic Enterprise, he had long foreseen the collapse of the Human Empire, but even if it meant being shattered to pieces, the Emperor was still willing to take a chance on the tiny possibility.

If the Webway Project can be completed, Chaos will never invade the real universe on a large scale.

But through the "spoilers" of the Cosmic Enterprise, the Emperor has learned that the Webway Project will never succeed, the decline of the Human Empire is doomed, and the Four Chaos Gods will have the last laugh.

From these warships shrouded in the aura of the Warp, the Emperor could sense that the forces of the evil gods had already invaded reality, and that the empire of this parallel universe was in an extremely chaotic and sad situation.

The emperor, who originally did not want to directly intervene in this parallel world, could no longer suppress his anger and he wished he could destroy this chaotic army immediately.

With his abilities, he would not necessarily be at a disadvantage even if he confronted the Four Gods of the Warp directly, so the Emperor believed that he could still protect the humans in this parallel universe this time.

"only……"

"Why can't I see Guilliman? Where has he gone?" At this moment, the Emperor did not know that Guilliman was in a near-death state. He only knew that the Empire of this world had been invaded by Chaos.

Just as the Emperor was speculating on various situations, the AI ​​on the battleship had already collected intelligence information and analyzed the current time point of the Warhammer universe.

[According to analysis, we have arrived at the time when Guilliman was resurrected 10,000 years after the Chaos Army swept across the Milky Way.]

"Guilliman? Resurrection..."

The emperor frowned and immediately asked the AI ​​to present the relevant information in the giant company's database for his reference.

……

On the other side, Great Sage Caul had already led everyone onto the assault boat and arranged for the Explorer King to provide fire cover in low-Earth orbit.

Soon, a gap opened in the hangar, and the assault boat rushed out at the fastest speed and flew towards the Hera Fortress.

At the same time, the Explorer King also activated its strongest firepower attack mode, generously pouring out the artillery on the battleship to attract the attention of the Chaos Legion.

In an instant, the Explorer King, which joined the battlefield, was immediately submerged in the dense artillery and shield glow, and a small assault boat dived directly into Macragge's atmosphere.

However, the environment in the atmosphere is not as good as everyone imagines.

This Chaos army obviously came prepared.

They had already launched a large number of aircraft into Macragge's atmosphere.

Rumble——!
After sensing the assault boat entering, these aircraft madly attacked the airship. Explosions continued to sound outside, and the shock waves spread into the interior along the cabin.

The violent shock made the assault boat's flight path shaky, like a small boat sailing on a stormy sea.

The living saint Celestine sat in the cabin with a determined look. She believed that the assault boat prepared by the great sage Caul would not be so easy to be destroyed, even if it really came to this.

She had also already prepared herself mentally to die for the Divine Emperor.

The rest of the people, like Celestine, sat silently and firmly in their respective seats. The Chaos Legion swept across the entire galaxy, and everyone was a victim of the evil god of the Warp.

They stood together for common interests, forming an alliance that was closer and more steadfast than blood or racial ties.

Once they embark on this path, the end that awaits them is either death by the guns of the Chaos Legion, or driving these damned Chaos bastards back into the Warp.

boom--! !

At this time, a whistling sound breaking through the air was heard outside the assault boat, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a Chaos Legion airship flying towards them.

The airship was a medium-sized fighter plane equipped with a gun. If they were hit by the enemy or crashed into it directly, they would have only one outcome, and that would be death in a plane crash!
This place is eight thousand meters above the ground. If you fall down, you will be turned into meat paste.

"We must not let that Chaos bastard get close to us."

Great Sage Kaul paused, and countless solutions emerged in his mind. "Everyone, please sit tight. There may be a little bumpy in a while."

Seeing this, everyone silently grabbed the supports around them. No one would question the words of the great sage. Ignoring the old man's reminder would not end well.

Immediately, Kohl stretched out his mechanical arm and smashed the porthole with the sharp spikes on his arm, instantly destroying the window. A strong airflow rushed into the cabin in an instant.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why the great sage Kaul said that there were "hundreds of millions" of bumps.

The assault boat, which was already unstable due to damage, became even more shaky due to the turbulent air flow. If Kohl had not informed everyone in advance, some people would have been thrown out by now.

boom! !

The roar of the Chaos fighters was almost within reach.

Great Sage Kaul took out an assembly part from somewhere and quickly transformed his arm into a hand cannon weapon. He extended the muzzle out of the porthole and aimed at the nearby Chaos fighters and aircraft.

Zip! As the trigger was pulled, the muzzle emitted a sharp whistle, and the blue-white energy cannon rushed out along the rifling in Kaul's arm, attacking the fighter planes and aircraft outside.

The powerful recoil of the hand cannon was transmitted from the body of Great Sage Kohl to the cabin floor, causing the entire assault boat to spin and flip during flight.

Inquisitor Katarina clutched the handrail beside her tightly. She saw that Cawl's hand cannon actually destroyed the Chaos fighter that could take their lives at any time.

The oil man always has something unexpected to do for them!
call.

White steam was coming out of Kaur's outstretched arm.

The upside-down flying assault boat gradually broke away from the aircraft behind it and slowly stabilized.

Although the assault boat was still shaking and pitching due to the damage, the amplitude was not large and it would not flip over directly like before.

"Congratulations on being alive."

The great sage Kohl said this calmly. This was not a joke to relax everyone, but what he really thought.

If the assault boat was really destroyed, Cawl would do everything he could to save his own life and Evelyne's life, even if it meant he would be disabled, so that he could wake Guilliman in front of his coffin.

As for everyone else…

Then we can only hope for the best.

No one spoke, but just looked out the window calmly to see if there were any other Chaos fighters chasing after them.

Fortunately, after this round of turmoil, the journey ahead will be much smoother.

The garrison of Hera Fortress has communicated with Great Sage Kaul in advance, and they will use ground-to-air firepower to assist and cover their landing on the ground to the best of their ability.

"We are not too late. At least the Hera Fortress has not been completely destroyed. This is a blessing in disguise."

Amaric took a look at the fire control situation of the fortress and made a basic assessment of the battle situation in Macragge.

As the Grand Marshal of the Black Templars of the Human Empire, Amarich has been committed to fighting against various threats to humanity, such as Chaos and aliens.

He went to Macragge this time at the invitation of the Great Sage Caul.

"They won't last long."

The great sage Kaul spoke in a low and hoarse voice, and no one could tell whether the expression under his mask was sadness or expressionless indifference.

The situation at Hera Fortress was actually quite dire, and Macragge's Ultramarines Legion had used almost all the weapons at its disposal.

Guns, missiles, and everything the battleship could use were used to attack it.

But the Chaos Legion was equally unwilling to be outdone. They gathered all their strength and launched a mad attack on the Hera Fortress. Dense fighter planes and aircraft surrounded this tiny place.

The rain of bullets from the bombardment has piled up dozens of small hills on the ground. If the trend continues, the Ultramarines will collapse and disintegrate sooner or later.

In addition, the Ultramarines on the ground were also engaged in fierce close combat with the Chaos Warriors. Every corner of Hera Fortress was filled with battles, bloodshed and violence.

Not long after, under the guidance of Hera Fortress, the assault boat finally landed in a relatively stable battlefield area.

The local Extreme Warriors also met the Great Sage Cawl and others and took them into a spacious inner hall.

After a short rest and wait, everyone finally met Calgar, the active Chapter Master of the Ultramarines Legion, as well as First Captain Agammann, Librarian Digris, and Grand Master of the Grey Knights Voldes who came to support them.

The huge inner hall was filled with many heroes. Everyone present was a well-known figure from various forces, and they had a huge influence in the Warhammer universe.

This meeting was an epic one.

"I am Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines."

At this time, a big bald man wearing heavy blue power armor came in front of the Great Sage Kohl. He had an extremely conspicuous red prosthetic eye device on his left eye.

Judging from his stern expression, this chapter leader is always serious.

"I believe you have seen the situation here. We don't have much time for idle chatter. Tell us directly how you can help Macragge."

Calgar stared at Kohl, Evelyne and others. This team composed of humans and elves looked very strange. He didn't think these people could do anything surprising.

After all, the huge Explorer King did not bring any capable troops.

Macragge may collapse at any time at this moment, and the entire subspace communication device has been almost completely cut off, which means that Calgar has no way to contact the outside world for reinforcements.

If the fighting continues like this, Macragge, the shining pearl of the human world, will completely fall into the hands of the Chaos Legion, and the Ultramarines will be destroyed!

"I have reached an agreement with the Lord of Ultramar. I am here to fulfill that agreement."

Archmagus Cawl did not directly explain his true purpose to Calgar. Resurrecting Guilliman was too crucial, and it even concerned the survival of two races.

At this moment, his nerves were stretched to the limit and he did not dare to relax at all, fearing that this matter would fail at the last moment.

The Ultramar that Cawl mentioned actually refers to the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, a huge galaxy cluster consisting of more than 500 worlds that can be classified as a star region.

Macragge is equivalent to the center of the Ultramar sector. Once Macragge falls, it is only a matter of time before Ultramar is destroyed.

"Promise? I didn't make any promise with you."

Calgar frowned slightly. He was the current Lord of Ultramar, but he didn't seem to have any agreement with the Great Sage of the Mechanicus.

even……

The two of them had never met each other many times. They had only heard of each other's names but had never seen each other in person.

"Great Sage Caul, you need to give me a proper explanation." Calgar took a half step back, and the Extreme Warriors around him immediately became alert.

In this Warhammer 40K universe, the evil gods of the Warp are extremely rampant, and any weird things are likely to be a conspiracy created by them.

Faced with these unpredictable means, Calgar can only remain vigilant at all times and never trust anyone easily.

"Of course, this agreement was not made with you, but with the true Lord of Ultramar. Now I am here to awaken him."

The Great Sage Cawl never stops talking until he shocks everyone. As soon as he said this, the Ultramarines present were stunned. Who else could be the real Lord of Ultramar?

There have been many Lords of Ultramar in history, but the only one who can be called the true Lord of Ultramar is probably the son of the great God-Emperor, the Primarch of the Ultramarines - Robert Guilliman!
"What nonsense!"

Calgar's alertness suddenly reached its maximum. He placed his right hand on the chainsaw sword at his waist and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "The Father of Genes has been sleeping for ten thousand years, and he has never woken up during this period."

"You said he made an agreement with you. When did it happen? What was the agreement?"

The sleeping Guilliman is the eternal pain in the heart of every Ultramarines.

During the Great Heresy Ten Thousand Years Ago, the Chaos Primarch Fulgrim pierced Guilliman's throat with a sword, forcing Guilliman to lie in a stasis field and sleep to save his life.

By now, Guilliman has been sleeping in the stasis field for tens of thousands of years, and no one has any hope of him waking up.

The Empire has collapsed, Macragge has fallen, and the only one they can rely on is themselves!

In Calgar's opinion, the great sage Kowl in front of him was very suspicious and might be the incarnation of Tzeentch.

However, the think tank chief Digris standing behind Karga remained silent. He carefully recalled the details of the past while observing Kaul's reaction.

This agreement...seems to be true.

"I made a pact with the great Primarch ten thousand years ago, right here in Macragge, but the content of the pact remains secret for now."

After that, the Great Sage Cawl had someone bring up the long-prepared Armor of Destiny, and said to Calgar in a deep voice: "This is the key to unlocking the mystery. Now please allow me to take it to the place where the Primarch is sleeping."

This Armor of Destiny is the painstaking work of Archmagos Cawl, embodying his lifelong learning. It can allow Guilliman to maintain his vital signs even after leaving the stasis field.

The agreement he made with Guilliman was to awaken Guilliman after ten thousand years.

However, when reviving Guilliman, there is a necessary step, which is to "kill" Guilliman first!
