Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 240: Supporting the Battlefield of Baal, Rhodes Leads the Battle

It was really unexpected that the Tyranids were able to copy some of Red King's genes and create an upgraded version of the Titan unit.

Although it is only 20 meters tall and weighs only a few thousand tons, it is still a bit too terrifying for the Empire.

The monster's defense is very strong, and with the swarm's unique chitin shell, the defense is even more abnormal.

The Zerg Titan unit modified with Red King's genes must have stronger defense than the original one.

Coupled with the monster's terrifying size, the Tyranids' war potential is indeed endless. Fortunately, they were not able to obtain the complete Red King.

Otherwise, these guys might really be able to copy Red King completely.

However! The Tyranids can only copy monsters like Red King Moragelzaan, which were born on Earth and have cell types.

For example, some negative energy monsters, super monsters, cosmic monsters, and alien species cannot be replicated, and even Red King and others cannot be completely replicated.

Therefore, in the next battle with the Tyranids, the Earth monsters on our side cannot take the field. However, the biological weapon Jetton can be used, and the Ultra Beast can also be used.

Rhodes has already asked the Yabo people in detail. His super beasts are all made with super beast synthesis machines. Except for the first sample which is quite special,
All the super beasts produced subsequently are synthesized using the extra-dimensional energy of the super beasts.

Although they have biological bodies, they are essentially the same as those demons. The swarm cannot even extract biomass, let alone cells.

"So Guilliman, how many troops do you plan to bring to Baal for support? This is a very serious problem." Rhodes asked.

"Rods! How many troops do you have under your command now?" Guilliman looked at Rods and asked.

"During this period, I have transformed some Cadian soldiers, so the number of my space warriors has now reached more than 600,000." Rhodes said.

The transformation of the mortal soldiers under Rhodes that could be transformed had basically been completed.

The remaining Cadia soldiers were basically sent to live in the New Cadia world. They couldn’t keep fleecing the sheep, and more than 60 troops were enough.

If Rhodes's spaceship is to be modified further, it will not be able to accommodate them, and the Cadians will have to reproduce.

"How many battle sisters are there on Elena's side?" Guilliman nodded and asked.

I must know the number of troops on Rhodes' side in detail. The army under Rhodes's command is not open to the outside world and is a hidden army.

"She only has a few thousand transformed battle sisters, as you know, although she has the gene seed of the female primarch.

But it has not been made public yet, so we cannot recruit soldiers on a large scale. We can only recruit soldiers from your Ultramar and the battle nuns who were withdrawn from the Cadia battlefield." Rhode said.

"I have about 15 sub-corps here, and the Ultramarines have more than 1500 people. Add to that the more than 20 hidden Ultramarines Legionaries, and we can gather a superhuman army of nearly 100 million." Guilliman said.

In general, the number of troops supporting Baal is sufficient. In fact, these troops are equivalent to the total strength of all the Space Marines in the entire Empire!

Guilliman sighed, how terrifying! Unknowingly, the army under his and Rhodes's command had reached this scale.

"But are you sure all our troops are going? Guilliman, you have to think clearly, these troops are used by us to quell the unrest in Terra." Rhodes said.

The reason for hiding these troops and hiding the identities of Rhodes and Elena was to do something bigger.

The more than 20 Primaris Super Space Marines in Guilliman's hands and the 60 troops in Rhodes' hands are all used to pacify Holy Terra.

If they were allowed to appear on the battlefield of Baal in advance, Holy Terra might discover something.

During this period of time, the news of the Primarch's awakening has spread, and now many imperial forces have sent envoys one after another, and they are on their way to Ultramar.

"Baal is on the dark side of the Empire. The psychic channels there have been blocked. No one can contact Baal at all. If we go over to support him, no one will notice anything." Guilliman said.

He had naturally taken into account the confidentiality of the two-man army until the new Codex Astartes was promulgated and the old Codex was eliminated.

This army really couldn't be exposed, otherwise, he and Rhodes would be directly labeled as traitors.

The legion's affairs must be legal, and he must return to Holy Terra to amend the laws before he can make this army public.

But he couldn't just ignore Saint-Gilius' affairs. After all, this proud archangel wouldn't ask for help easily.

The other party came to him for help because he was forced into a desperate situation. As long as he could handle it himself, Archangel Sanguinius would not come to him, Guilliman, for help.

"During this period, there will be a large number of high-ranking Imperial officials, Imperial nobles, the Mechanicus, the Ecclesiarchy, and other Space Marine chapters. They should all have initiated astropathic communications with you. They will all come to Ultramar 500 to see you. If you suddenly leave with a large army, they will still be able to discover you." Rhodes said.

Guilliman frowned upon hearing this. This matter was indeed difficult to resolve. This expedition would not take just a few days, but 20 days to go back and forth.

It would take at least two months to finish this war, and by then he and Rhodes would have to head to Holy Terra without stopping!
Moreover, all the sub-regiments under his command have not yet completed the transformation. Only the main force of the Extreme Marines has completed the transformation.

Moreover, some of the Space Marines on the facade still maintain the appearance of the original Space Marines. They have no choice but to receive some visitors from outside.

Seeing that Guilliman was in a dilemma, Rhodes gave a suitable suggestion.

"Actually, I have an idea. How about I go over to support Baal, and you stay in Ultramar 500 Worlds, on the planet Macragge."

"You mean! I'll leave you in command."

“Yes, no one will notice my army, they are hidden.

Besides, I have 60 men under my command. Even without your army's help, I can still deal with the Tyranids." Rhode said.

In fact, he said all this just to reassure Guilliman. In this war, the genetic offspring under his command were only there to clean up the Tyranids on the planetary battlefield.

In real battles in outer space, they are not of much use. The combat barges built by the Empire have no advantage at all when fighting against the Tyranid bio-ships.

He has no Pedan mothership of his own, nor does he have an army of robot monsters, but he has Mechanical Seven and Mechanical Ace on his side.

There is the unparalleled iron god Ying Puleza, as well as 100 King Joe robots, the space robot Big Iron Block, an upgradeable King Joe, and a King Joe that has been upgraded to the maximum level and is more than 120 meters high.

Mechanical Seven had not been strengthened at all, and Rhodes left him behind on purpose in order to give the Tyranids a surprise attack.

Rhodes was originally going to find a larger Tyranid army to practice with, but now that the Leviathan swarm has crashed into us, I'll just start with you.

"That's fine too. Then I'll provide you with some support from the mortal army and some Ultramarines!"

"Just provide me with two companies of soldiers so that I can meet the Blood Angels. As for the mortal troops, a few hundred thousand will be enough. Their biggest role is to clean up the battlefield." Rhodes said.

The mobilization of mortal troops did not matter. There was no need to worry about the Empire discovering anything, because even the high lords did not know how many mortal troops the Empire had.

“Okay, I’ll prepare 100 million mortal troops and 25 battle barges for you.

There are two more Ultramarines. This time, I'm counting on you, Rhodes. Please save Baal." Guilliman finally agreed to Rhodes's intention to go alone to provide support.

"Leave it to me. I'll contact the Eldar Clown right now and set off tomorrow." Rhodes said.

"No! Rhodes, you don't need to contact the Eldar Clown to go through the Webworld this time.

With Sanguinius and I guiding you through the Warp, it will be faster to go through the Warp." Guilliman said.

Generally speaking, it takes at least 500 to 4 months or even half a year to sail from Ultramar 5 to Baal, and this is the normal sailing speed.

But with him and Sanguinius, two lesser gods, conducting Warp navigation, Rhodes' fleet could easily cross the Warp and reach Baal safely in just 20 days, while the Eldar Webway would take more than a month to arrive.

"Uh! Are you sure you want me to go to the subspace?" Before, Rhodes didn't dare to go to the subspace because he was afraid of the Four Chaos Evil Gods, but now Rhodes realized that he had never appeared in the sight of the Four Evil Gods at all.

Even after Guilliman's body and soul merge into one and he is upgraded to a physical lesser god, he will probably further attract the attention of the Four Chaos Masters, and Rhodes will be safer.

Moreover, the great sage Cawl of the Mechanicus had previously installed a subspace engine and a Geller force field on Rhodes' spaceship.

Therefore, it was not impossible to go through the subspace. The only thing missing on his spaceship was a navigator. But Rhodes could also take the place of the navigator himself.

"Trust me, there will be no problem!" Guilliman said.

Rhodes, how cautious you are! You have your father protecting you, I protect you, and Sanguinius protects you.

You can be said to be the safest human being in the subspace. If you are afraid, the spaceships coming and going from the empire will be in vain.

They only had one Galen stand for protection, and even the best navigator was not as strong as Rhodes himself, not to mention him and Sanguinius.

"Okay! This time I will take the subspace channel. I will set off once your mortal army is ready." Rhodes said.
