Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 89: Celestine, the Living Saint
When Sanguinius's fleet arrived at Demacia, he found that the planet showed no signs of being invaded by the plague of Nurgle.

Full of doubts, Sanguinius found the great sage Victor and met with him.

Sanguinius told the Great Sage about his doubts, but the Great Sage did not answer. He only said that this was the top secret of the Legion, and except for the Legion Commander Galen and Lux, there could be no fourth person who knew it.

Hearing this, Sanguinius felt somewhat unhappy, but he soon realized that he was not a Demacian. To the Fearless Vanguard, he was the outsider.

In the Fortress of Solitude, Sanguinius occupied Galen's throne. Orders as precise as surgical operations were issued from here. Ships of the Imperial fleet, led by the Legiones Astartes, swept across dozens of worlds around Demacia, clearing out the raging zombie plague.

The medicine provided by the biological sage Philia was very effective. A large amount of vaccine was dropped by the Imperial fleet to more than a dozen Imperial worlds to help the civilians there resist the plague.

Everything was going in the right direction until a fleet headed to Soros World to eradicate the plague did not send any news back to the Fortress of Solitude for two Terran days.

Sanguinius understood that the final war was about to begin.

The Plague Army appeared within Demacia's observable distance on the third Terran day after Soros' fleet lost contact, intending only to launch an attack on the core area of ​​the Denor galaxy.

The plague power of Nurgle continues to spread around Demacia. Wherever they appear, the place will be contaminated by a large amount of virus.

This is a virus more terrible than the zombie plague. Even the surface of the planet will be immediately poisoned after coming into contact with this supernatural warp toxin. Various diseases are spreading around Demacia.

But what Typhas did not expect was that no matter how terrible the virus they spread, these horrible virus spores would be eliminated by an unknown force when they came into contact with Demacia's low-Earth orbit.

It doesn't know what kind of horrible weapons are hidden in Demacia, but what it knows is that the kind father Nurgle is facing the greatest crisis in history.

Rotigus was not sure whether the technology hidden in Demacia was capable of being deployed on a large scale. Once this technology was fully mature, there would be no place for Nurgle to survive in the entire galaxy.

But Typhas pretended to be ignorant of the situation. He secretly reported the abnormal situation in Demacia to his father Nurgle, while commanding a large number of plague zombies to attack Demacia.

Using these mindless cannon fodder who were ignorant of pain and life and death not only consumed the defenders' ammunition stocks, but also eroded their reason and determination.

The tragic space stations that spread across dozens of worlds around Demacia, after a long period of competition and consumption, eventually turned into a desperate struggle for Demacia.

The Imperial fleet and even the Astartes Legion on the periphery were being eroded bit by bit by countless zombies and Nurgle's demon minions, causing their iron defense line to shrink again and again.

In the end, Sanguinius recalled all the imperial fleets that were resisting outside, vowed to defend Demacia to the death, and waited for the return of reinforcements.

the other side.

Blackstone Fortress.

Except for some Space Marines who stayed behind to operate the Dreadnought and continue the exploration mission in the Gothic Sector, all the remaining Dreadnought Vanguard warriors were transferred to the Blackstone Fortress.

Under the guidance of the Primarch, they quickly absorbed knowledge about Blackrock Fortress, striving to fully master this terrifying weapon before arriving in Demacia.

And Lux ​​is still exploring the maze of Blackrock Fortress with her little follower.

When the little girl turned the corner of a room and saw a Fearless Vanguard warrior strolling there, the clever Lux realized belatedly that she had been fooled by her brother!

"You've been back for a long time!"

Lux looked serious and grabbed the two pieces of flesh on Garen's cheeks with her two white hands, stretching them like plasticine.

Looking at the breathtaking arc, the guards around wanted to go up and persuade their sister-in-law not to torture the Primarch like this, but they were stopped by Garen's eyes. He said in a slightly apologetic tone: "I just don't want to disturb your adventurous mood."

Lux's cheeks puffed up, and she floated in the air with her arms crossed over her chest: "It's not fun at all, so boring, just picking up, picking up, there's no danger at all."

"The Denor system is now under attack from Nurgle demons. Once we arrive at the location, I will allow you to follow me into the battlefield and kill the enemy."

As he said that, Garen pinched Lux's face.

So cute.

In less than two and a half seconds, Lux escaped from Garen's clutches and stretched out her right hand.

"A word is settled!"

Lux stretched out her little finger and hooked it with the Primarch.

When the Blackstone Fortress arrived in the Denor galaxy, it happened to encounter a planet ravaged by both the "Plague of Unbelief" and plague zombies.

After obtaining Garen's permission, the Primarch's Honor Guard personally followed the young Demacia's Lord of Light to protect her life.

When the Astartes Legion, who possessed the bodies of gods, descended on the planet called Starlight, those ignorant people who had been brainwashed by the fanatics, smashing and looting in the streets with all kinds of weapons and forcing innocent people to believe in the so-called "Emperor", became even crazier.

They fired at the Astartes Legion with their outdated firearms, but the fragile brass bullets could not even leave a scratch on the bodies of these war gods.

"I give you three minutes to put down your weapons and return to the room, otherwise you will die."

The Astartes showed a final mercy to this group of pitiful people, their eyes fixed on the countdown numbers on their helmets.

On the street, some of the less crazy people woke up in time and staggered towards the nearest building.

And those who were beyond redemption still poured their bullets on the Astartes in a bloodthirsty and crazy manner.

"time is limited."

A fearless pioneer issues a final warning.

When the countdown ended, an extremely bloody and horrific massacre began. The cruelty of this massacre still terrifies those who witnessed it, even decades later.

On the other hand, the Astartes deliberately divided the battlefield to prevent their sisters-in-law from seeing overly bloody scenes.

The light of psychic energy raged, and Lux ​​descended like the rising sun, bringing hope to countless victims.

At the bottom of a ruin, a civilian of unknown origin witnessed Lux's Holy Glory.

"Angel, no, the Emperor."

The eyes of the woman named Celestine glowed brightly. She believed that she had found the god she should worship.

An organization called the "Sisters of Glory" soon emerged on this planet.
