Warhammer: Lord of the Endless Monsters

Chapter 546 The Battle of the Vigilant Star: Black Legion vs. Ultra Warriors
The curtain of warp was ripped open, and the massive bow of the Vengeance Soul was the first to break through the barrier of reality, followed by thousands of Chaos warships, polluting the orbital space of the Vigilant Star like foul blood gushing from a wound.

The twisted metal spikes on the ship's hull gleamed with an ominous green light, cursed runes burning in warp energy.

The Black Legion's fleets are all forged by demons, giving these chaotic forces a greater advantage in navigating the warp.

In the real universe, their ship also appears to be alive.

Calgar stood on the orbital defense platform, inside the command center of the warning planet. In the holographic projection in front of Calgar, countless red dots were forming an attack array—the largest fleet Abaddon had assembled since the Great Rift opened.

"Vice Commander Calga, we have confirmed the main fleet of the Black Legion." The technical priest's voice sounded cold due to mechanical synthesis. "The energy signature of the Vengeful Spirit has been detected. The Warmaster flagship has confirmed it; it is confirmed that Dark Warmaster Abaddon has arrived."

Everyone held their breath. Abaddon, the Chaos Warmaster, was the Chaos Warmaster who had caused the greatest damage to the Empire in the last 1 years. He had even replaced Horus in some respects.

Thirteen consecutive Black Expeditions even led to the birth of the Empire's dark side. This Chaos Warmaster has only declined slightly in recent decades; before that, he was one of the top combatants in the entire galaxy.

I wonder if this war will be considered Abaddon's 14th Black Crusade? They are about to face the same fate as the world of Fortress Cardia.

Or will the Ultramarines utterly defeat Chaos Warmaster Abaddon here?

"Be on guard against new mortal soldiers, battle nuns, Ultramarines, and Guilliman's genetic offspring."

I am Lieutenant Commander Calgar, and I am now issuing the Primarch's orders, the Emperor's orders: We must hold the Vigilant Star.

"We must defeat Chaos Warmaster Abaddon here and not let him interfere with the Father of Genesis's journey. We must destroy these despicable Chaos traitors!" Calgar stood up and roared.

"For the Empire! For Ottaramar!"

"By the God Emperor, the God Emperor will protect us."

"Destroy these vile traitors of chaos, destroy these heretics."

The mortal troops, the Ultramarines, and the battle nuns were all shouting loudly.

"Good! Pass on my orders! Activate all planetary defenses! We must fight Chaos to the death here!" Karl roared.

At this moment, inside the Black Legion above the Vigilant Star.

The Chaos Space Marines of the Devourer roared bloodthirstyly over the communications channel, their crimson visors flickering with chaotic fire. Their bodies, blessed by the evil god, were larger than ordinary Astartes. These offspring of Angron had longed for slaughter for far too long, and they were eager to offer the blood of mortals and the servants of the false emperors to the great evil god.

These warriors, with their bloodshot eyes and butcher's nails in their heads, let out terrifying roars that even made some Chaos Space Marines from other warbands want to stay away from these bloodthirsty, warlike madmen.

“The Blood God’s servants are the best warriors, and Angron’s offspring are the best weapons of war. Let’s leave the first battle to the Devourers of Worlds,” said the Dark Babar alien disguised as Abaddon.

“Great War General, this time we will surely avenge our defeat under your leadership, let the Empire know our might, and the false emperor will die by your hand,” Abaddon’s adjutant said.

They made ample preparations for the war, with a large number of demon princes, as well as chaos champions and chaos lords joining Abaddon's ranks. All of these people also received the new blessing of the evil god, enabling them to fight in gigantic form.

"Maintain the phase shift of the Black Fleet." The figure seated on the command throne of the Vengeance Soul issued the order, his spiked arm armor slicing across the holographic star map.

"The World Eater Legion's warbands are responsible for establishing forward fortifications, the Midnight Lords will launch a surprise attack on the anti-air defenses from the east, and the other Chaos warbands will provide support."

Calgar's tactical display suddenly lit up with a glaring warning rune. Three Reaper-class cruisers broke out of near-Earth orbit like ghosts, their distorted hulls flickering between reality and warp, their macrogun arrays already locked onto the power core of the Iron Ring.

"Activate the Void Shield on the planet! Switch all turrets to armor-piercing rounds!" The voice of Vice Commander Calga echoed throughout the entire defense network via the Vox communicator.

The mortal gunners, enhanced by the superhuman serum, completed the reloading at an inhuman speed, and the cooling system of the anti-aircraft laser cannon emitted a sharp hiss.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The first flower of death burst forth in space, the main guns of the battleship Makrag's Fury cleaved through the void, light spears pierced the bridge of a Chaos cruiser, the King Joe robot also took to the air, and the Pedanium Ray Cannon fired.

The Dark Apostles inside were instantly vaporized, but then, the twelve Chaos Strike Cruisers opened fire simultaneously, their warp energy beams coiling around the Ultramarines' escort ships like venomous snakes.

"The Unyielding reports that its starboard armor belt has been penetrated!"

"The Void Shield of Divine Grace is overloaded!" The damage report blared in Karga's ears. He saw a frigate disintegrate under the Black Legion's crossfire, its blue-armored body tumbling silently in the vacuum.

On the ground battlefield, the World Eaters' siege tanks rolled over burning ruins, their cannons wrapped with brass chains, each chain ending with the skull of a mortal who had been brutally murdered.

A berserker wielding two axes was shouting wildly. This man was none other than Karn, the Blood God's Chosen, who had previously displayed his might on Macragge, killing the Imperial Guard.

Chaos eggs crawled between the tanks. These pathetic mutants, once human, were now living cannonballs. The Snow God's warriors were shouting madly that the blood of countless mortals awaited them.

"For Macurag!" Theodori, commander of the 1st Brigade, led his assault team out of the shattered fortifications.

His power sword severed the head of a World Eater, but immediately three chainsaw axes came crashing down on him simultaneously.

The battle nuns, enhanced by the Superhuman Potion, unleashed a sea of ​​fire from their flamethrowers on the flanks. The sacred flames charred the Chaos Egg. These fierce female warriors drew their greatswords, shouted "Long live the God Emperor!" and charged towards the Chaos before them.

Zhang Theodosius of the First Brigade unleashed a torrent of scorching air from his power pack. With a tactical roll, he dodged the chainsaw axe's strangulation and countered by pressing his explosive pistol against the chest armor of the nearest Chaos enemy. The explosives detonated inside the World Eater's chest, but the madman continued charging with his shattered upper body until he was smashed into a bloody pulp by the Battle Sister's power staff.

These Chaos Space Marines, who worshipped the Blood God, were utterly fearless and maintained their most primal fighting style.

"Be careful, sir. The combat nuns will fight alongside you."

Before the First Brigade Commander Theodosius could speak, a terrifying crimson axe slashed down, cleaving the battle nun who had just come to his aid in two.

The battle nun didn't even realize who killed her before she died.

A man nearly 3.5 meters tall, wearing Chaos Terminator-style power armor and wielding two giant axes appeared before him.

"No! Damn it!" Theodosius roared angrily, picked up his power sword, and glared furiously at the monster in front of him.

"Hahaha! I can feel blood here, endless blood, my prey is here."

"Skull offering to the skull seat, blood sacrifice to the blood god!" Kahn roared, wielding two enormous power axes, his face bloodthirsty as he slashed at Theodosius.

Today he will drink the blood of the Ultra Warriors, the blood of the Battle Sisters, and the blood of mortals, all as a tribute to the great Blood God.

Theodosius's power sword collided with Kahn's double axes with a deafening roar, and the resulting energy shockwave sent rubble and debris flying within several meters.

Sparks flew as the two forces locked in a stalemate, the decomposition field of the power sword clashing fiercely with the chaotic runes on the axe blade, emitting a piercing shriek.

“You traitorous lackey! Your death is imminent.” Kahn grinned savagely, the Butcher’s Nail throbbing wildly in his temple, making his voice sound like the howl of a wild beast.

With a sudden burst of strength, the right axe pressed down on the power sword and slashed downwards, while the left axe swept horizontally towards Theodosius's waist and abdomen.

The Ultramarine Company Commander reacted swiftly, his power backpack spewing out scorching air as he dodged to the side. The axe blade grazed his power armor, leaving a smoking crack in the precision-engineered ceramic steel.

Theodosius used the momentum to spin around, his power sword drawing a blue arc as it aimed straight for Kahn's neck.

"Too slow!" Kahn laughed wildly, not dodging or avoiding the blade as it pierced his shoulder armor. The Chaos Terminator armor shattered under the disintegration field, but Kahn seemed to feel no pain. Instead, he took the opportunity to headbutt Theodosius's visor.

"boom!"

The helmet display of the Ultramarines company commander cracked instantly, and blood seeped from his forehead.

He staggered backward, but his fighting instincts made him immediately raise his sword—just in time to block Kahn's follow-up double axe strike.

The force of the blow was so great that Theodosius's knee armor slammed into the ground, creating a spiderweb-like crack in the concrete.

"Is that all you've got?" Kahn roared, hacking away with his double axes like a storm.

Each strike carried the brute force enough to cleave Leman Rustank, forcing Theodosius to retreat step by step, his power sword emitting blinding sparks of energy as he parried.

"For Macragge!" Theodosius suddenly sprang into action, his power pack overloaded, and he charged forward at astonishing speed, his sword aimed straight for Kahn's heart. The strike hit precisely, the tip of the sword piercing through the Chaos Armor and embedding itself in flesh.

But Kahn only let out an even wilder laugh, letting the blade pierce through him, to show you the blessing of the great blood god!
