Dorn's face was as cold and hard as a rock covered with glaciers. There was no expression on his face. The Stormfang in his hand changed direction and attacked again. This magic weapon forged by Invit craftsmen tore through Alpha's armor like a hot knife cutting butter.
The countless single-molecule serrations of the Storm's Fang tore at the guard plates of the Primarch's armor. Alpharius's flesh was torn apart by the violent attack, blood gushed out, flesh and blood splattered, and even the white skeleton was exposed to the air with blood.
Even Ryan was shocked by Rogal Dorn's sudden attack, but then he realized that his prey had been taken away.
Dorn pushed his Stormfang and continued to charge. The roaring blade pierced Alpha's chest, then tore through the armor on his back and directly hit the power pack. With a flash of energy sparks, Stormfang completely passed through the Primarch.
Dorn and Alpharius were so close that from Ryan's perspective it looked almost like an intimate hug between blood brothers.
With such injuries, even a Primarch would almost certainly die. Dorn just watched his brother spitting blood in front of him. Broken organ fragments gushed out of Alpha's mouth, and blood dripped down the Pale Spear and the Primarch's armor to the ground, to be sucked by the eternally hungry earth.
Here three Primarchs met, and within this tiny fortress on the moon of Pluto, a child of the Emperor perished.
"Brother..." The corners of Alpha's mouth twitched, as if he was extremely unwilling, and he slowly uttered the last words.
Afterwards, everyone seemed to hear a giant snake's scream, and on the other side of the real universe, a storm seemed to have arisen in the surging sea of souls.
The nine-headed giant snake whimpered and fell, falling into the deeper ocean of ether.
Alpharius, who was pierced through the chest, staggered back a few steps and broke away from Dorn's arms. He held the Stormfang on his chest with both hands, as if he wanted to say something before he died, but Llane Jonson's angry blow came from behind.
The wolf blade tore through Alpha's neck, cutting through the primarch's tough flesh and bones, and chopping off the shiny head.
A noble Primarch died silently in the dark underground of the Hydra Satellite Fortress, while those Alpha Warriors had already been slaughtered by the Dark Angels.
Chapter 346: The Primarchs Gather
"So was it you or Rogal Dorn who killed Alpharius in the end?" In the command center of the Phalanx, Roche asked curiously beside Ryan.
As the battle between the Primarchs came to a conclusion, all the rebels on the Hydra satellite fortress were wiped out.
After the Legion Apothecary recovered the gene-seed of the Fists of the Fallen Empires and the Alpha Legion, the promethium flamethrower burned all the evil.
The leader of the Husar guards, who was sent by Rogal Dorn to Pluto to investigate the situation, was pulled back from the hands of death by the Dark Angels' pharmacist when he was on the verge of death. He was seriously injured, and Alpharius's stab shattered his second heart with incredible precision.
Fortunately, after further training in Macragge, the Dark Angels' pharmacists have acquired many more methods of treating injuries. Injuries as simple as a broken heart are well within their control.
As for Alpharius' body, Lion ordered the Dark Angels to retrieve and store it. Although the other party's sins could not be forgiven, the Lion did not want to insult the remains of a brother.
Listening to Luo Xi's question, Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about how to answer the question.
"Of course it was me. I was the one who killed Alpharius. Ryan only played a small role in it."
A cold and hard voice sounded. Rogdorn's short silver-white hair, like steel needles, was extremely eye-catching. His face was as angular as a perfect statue in ancient Greece, and his pair of extremely firm eyes looked straight at everyone.
Through Dorn's eyes, one can directly see his open heart. Rogal Dorn never hides himself, and his thoughts and ideas are directly laid out in the open.
Roche's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ryan Jonson was well-known for being soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. Dorne's disrespectful words would inevitably anger this petty Caliban man.
Sure enough, as he expected, Ryan's face froze, and anger was almost visibly hovering above his head, but the Lion King took a few deep breaths and actually suppressed his emotions.
"Rogge is right, that's true."
Ryan's abnormal behavior made Luo Xi even more puzzled, while Ryan was muttering to himself.
"No one would be stupid enough to get angry with Rogal Dorn. He is always like this, always upright, always honest and upright. It is even harder to make Dorn lie or be more tactful than to kill him."
After going through so many hardships, Ryan's character changed quietly. When he heard Dorn's blunt words, he felt fortunate instead.
Fortunately, this stubborn stone of the empire still adhered to his duties, and in the absence of other brothers, he stubbornly withstood the siege of the traitors.
At this moment, in the command center of the Phalanx, gathered all the Primarchs, including the host Rogal Dorn, Lion's Jonson of the Dark Angels, and Sanguinius of the Blood Angels.
In addition, according to Dorn, Wolf King Leman Russ, who is currently in Terra, and Jagatai Khan of the White Scars are also on their way.
Leaving aside Konrad who is still on the Laurel of Victory, five loyal Primarchs will soon gather here.
This was a glorious moment. Most of the loyalists' forces had been gathered together. The defense of the solar system had received a gratifying increase after the arrival of reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds. Even Dorn's brows, which were as criss-crossed as trenches, had relaxed a little.
Steward Terra now has more cards in his hand and is no longer as short of them as before.
"Brothers, I don't know how much you paid to rush to Terra for support, but I want to express my sincere gratitude to you. The enemy cannot surpass us and reach the Emperor only because of our existence."
Dorn was rarely sentimental, but his attitude only lasted for a few seconds, and then the tenderness flowed away from his face like melted snow.
Then, the Chief Guard walked towards Luo Xi, stretched out his broad palm, and solemnly shook Luo Xi's hand.
"I learned most of the things from Ryan. He said that it was your efforts that allowed the reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds to arrive in time."
"Many thanks."
Roche nodded. Although Rogal Dorn's words were not as flashy and elegant as Guilliman's, they were straightforward and frank.
When Rogal Dorn thanks you, he means it with 100% gratitude, without any further extensions or associations or any excessive probing.
Apart from the fact that he was easily angered by Dorn's words and got a brain congestion, he got along very well with the Primarch.
"Oh, I have another question." Roshi said, his eyes turned to the Alpha within the fire range of the Phalanx, "That is, what Alpharis said at the end that he was not a rebel, but loyal in an unknown place, is this true or false?"
Roche learned from Lion the words that Alpharius kept repeating at the last moment. In fact, the Lion King himself was also very confused. After they killed the Primarch of the 20th Legion, the Alpha Legion warships surrounded by the Phalanx and Thundercloud-class planetary battleships chose to surrender.
A surrendered army, this was unbelievable to everyone.
Even the rebels who defected to Chaos would never surrender to their opponents or enemies. The Astartes were not afraid of death and would rather die on the charge than kneel to the enemy.
However, the Alpha Legion was so unreasonable, especially when the Alpha lowered its void shield and extinguished its engine and weapon array, all this bizarreness became a reality.
If you shut down your engine on the battlefield, it will probably take more than ten hours or even several days to restart it even if you try your best. The reason why the Extreme Marines suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Calth was because a large number of warships chose to shut down their engines in the airport for repairs and supplies.
"I don't know." Dawn was very frank, with no intention of covering up or explaining himself.
"Alpharius has planned hundreds, even thousands, of infiltration attacks and assassinations in the solar system. This time, he surrounded and destroyed our listening station. I cannot trust such an existence to be loyal."
"I don't know what he is doing, but from my position and duty, it is absolutely necessary for me to kill Alpha."
Although Roche really felt that perhaps this Primarch with an ambiguous position might really be loyal to some extent, it was a pity that Rogal Dorn never changed.
Even if there is a wall in front of him, he will bite the bullet and break it down.
It would be best if Alpharius was actually a traitor, otherwise he would be a Primarch who was killed by his own people because he was hiding too deeply.
Roxi hates Riddler the most, and Alpharius is obviously the typical Riddler, but who knows if committing suicide is another plan of Alpharius?
As for the surrendered Alpha Legion, Dorn stripped all the Alpha Space Marines of their power armor and detained them in a secret prison somewhere on Terra for interrogation.
With Rogdorn's personal permission, Roche could move freely on the Phalanx. As long as he did not enter the secret places sealed by the Imperial Fists, he had the right of access to most places.
This is also a small reward from the Terra Steward to Roxi for helping the Five Hundred Worlds support Terra, but Roxi decided to postpone this privilege temporarily.
He had something more important that he wanted to accomplish immediately, and that was to meet the Emperor.
Luo Xi has too many questions that need answers. It seems that from the moment he woke up to all the events he encountered later, the Lord of Humanity was secretly manipulating them.
The advice of the Word Bearer Hermit and the image of the so-called future Emperor that Conrad saw in him all indicated that the Lord of Mankind had actually been watching him silently and invisibly.
Luo Xi has even borrowed the power of the Emperor several times to complete his plans. He always carries the Book of Lowell with him, but he is afraid that it will not be useful when needed.
When Roche presented his ideas and demands to Rogal Dorn, the Lord Chief of the Guards hesitated, which was extremely rare.
He couldn't give a definite answer.
"Roche, I don't know if the Emperor can see you, because of your close relationship with Lion, Sanguinius, and Guilliman. Because of your loyalty, I can reveal some things to you."
Rogal Dorn said earnestly.
"When the webway beneath the Terran Palace was damaged, the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne to suppress the power from the Warp. It is not up to me to decide whether he can see you."
Chapter 347: The Aborted Web Road Plan (Request for Subscription)
"After the Ullanor War ended, the Emperor announced that he would withdraw from the Great Crusade and hand over the command of the Great Crusade to Horus, who was honored as the Warmaster. He then revealed some information about the [Webway Project] to me."
Dorn spoke calmly. After hearing his words, Ryan and Sanguinius also showed a look of realization.
It is also true that when the Emperor left the Great Crusade, he only brought Dorn's Imperial Fists back to Terra and appointed them as the Terran Guard, responsible for the defense of the human throne world.
It was impossible for the Emperor to conceal this plan completely. Since Dorn was in charge of coordinating the defense of the entire solar system, it was impossible for him to know nothing about the Webway plan.
"In this case, Dorn is the one who understands the Emperor's grand plan best among all his Primarch brothers."
Lion sighed in his heart, thinking how glorious Horus was in the past. The identity of Warmaster gave him a noble status second only to the Emperor and above everyone else. Even other Primarchs were subject to the control and deployment of the Warmaster.
But Horus did not know that the Warmaster was just a smokescreen thrown by the Emperor, and his true plan was only known by Rogal Dorn.
This undoubtedly meant that Dorn was the most trusted heir. Although this was slightly in conflict with Llane's self-perception, he felt much better when he thought that Horus was not the most trusted heir either.
For many things, we are not afraid that everyone does not have them, but we are afraid that the opponent we care about has them exclusively.
Although Lion didn't say it, he was still upset about the Warmaster. He thought he was the best candidate, but the Emperor chose Horus.
No matter who won, he didn't want it to be Horus.
"It was only later that I learned that the Emperor's ultimate goal was the unheard-of Webway Project." Dorn sighed, shocked by the Lord of Mankind's strict confidentiality.
"The original Terra Unification War, the Great Crusade that was launched later, and the establishment of the Human Empire, all of these were ultimately aimed at the Webway Project. The establishment of the Empire was to provide the execution units and prerequisites for this plan, while the Great Crusade was to seize enough resources and time for the Webway Project."
This may sound incredible, but it is true. The Emperor planned this plan hundreds and thousands of years in advance. Even the birth of the Primarchs may have paved the way for this plan.
The war of unification, the creation of the Primarch, the establishment of the empire, the launching of the expedition, such a close arrangement that was linked one after another made all the people present marvel at the incredible wisdom and planning of the Lord of Mankind.
When everyone thought they had seen the full picture of the Emperor's plan, no one knew that they were actually just a part of it.
"What kind of damage has Magnus done? Is it now impossible to undo it?"
Roxi was puzzled. When he was in Macragge, he heard the news from those who fled here. The Space Wolves burned Prospero and brought punishment to the Emperor.
It seems that the emperor, who was extremely cunning and had incredibly far-reaching strategies and plans, had let down his guard only in the matter of Magnus, and was even so angry that he wanted to capture Magnus and punish him severely.
"The Emperor once discovered a creation from the Dark Age of Technology in the desert of the ancient Terra Asian continent - the Golden Throne. This incredible technological relic has the ability to connect to the Webway, so the Emperor placed it deep in the palace and relied on it to connect to the Webway system."
"Originally, relying on it, we humans were able to use the webway to connect the entire galaxy with an almost risk-free superluminal method, and also resist the dangers of Chaos corruption and pollution."
At this time, Uslan, who had been silent and had a very low presence, stood up.
Prophet Ulswe felt a little pressured when being stared at by three primarchs, but he thought it necessary to explain the reason.
"I must state that what your emperor did was an illegal intrusion. The Golden Throne was able to invade the webway system built by the ancient saints, and the emperor used this method to try to occupy the webway."
"We the Eldar are the first successors of the Old Ones, and the Webway belongs to us."
No one took the Eldar's statement seriously. If they had a choice before them, that is, to kill all the Eldar in order to occupy the Webway, these Primarchs would probably have sharpened their knives and were eager to try.
They have exterminated so many races that they don't care about adding one more elves who are already on the decline.
