Emperor's Dream, equipment testing and modification room.
The clanging sound of industrial machine tools continued.
The Imperial Guards who specialize in mechanical forging took the demon's spine, which was more than ten meters long, brought back by the emperor, divided it into two sections, and degreased, compressed, and modified it section by section.
The Emperor was sitting in the laboratory hall, observing everything on the surface of the Baal-Prem moon through the porthole glass.
Magnus has been maintaining psychic communication with him, and the information mentioned was only released to the Ninth Legion with permission in advance.
It was a trial in which the Emperor tested Sanguinius' ability to lead the IX Legion, and tested Sanguinius's reaction to exposure to the Warp.
The blood army of Khorne on the surface poured out from the bottom of a tower, and the Ninth Space Marine Legion also formed their formation and headed straight for the tower.
"Notify Constantine Waldo to prepare a drop pod for the Thunder Warriors."
The Emperor ordered the Custodes standing beside him, and he conveyed the instructions directly to the Custodes Commander.
The Lunar Space Marine Genetic Modification Base has just sent more than 300 Thunder Warriors, and the next batch will be the Gray Knights and Sisters of Silence.
But by that time, Alexander should have left the Emperor's Grand Fleet on the Ray.
Not long after, Constantine Waldo, who had received the emperor's order, went to the laboratory in person. A small group of imperial soldiers happened to arrive at the same time as him, pushing the demon's spine.
"Waldo, adjust the course. Our next destination is Caliban."
The emperor stood up and came to the processed spine. Every bone was as white as jade and natural.
"Yes, I have notified the navigator to be on standby for positioning."
"In addition, six hundred Thunder Warriors are fully armed and waiting for airborne orders."
Constantine Valdo followed the emperor's footsteps and picked up a spine and put it in front of his eyes, trying to analyze what species the bones belonged to.
"Go back and collect the fleet, we are about to set sail."
The Emperor gathered the spine together and placed it on the experimental table, and the piece in Waldo's hand was also taken away.
The Emperor will use psychic energy to deeply modify the internal structure of the spine, and then use radiant gold and adamantine to splice it together to construct a single-molecule saw blade and handle, and assemble them into a chain sword that can telescope with psychic energy.
Seeing that the Emperor was obsessed with manual modification, Constantine Valdor silently left the laboratory with the Imperial Guards.
...
Bar-Prem surface.
The Ninth Legion mobilized all heavy firepower including poison blade tanks, cyclone tanks, and fearless mechas, and headed towards the place where the blood army appeared.
The Legion's Thunderhawk gunships have all taken off to explore the source of Khorne's army.
"Magnus, are you hiding something from me?"
Alexander secretly contacted Magnus via psychic communication.
Along the way, his behavior was more talkative and more cautious than on Baal Prime. He was completely different.
Sanguinius stayed by their side, studying the movements of the Space Marines on the battlefield, sometimes flying high above to survey the entire Legion.
"Father has been maintaining psychic communication with me just now, otherwise I would have been flying with you."
Magnus responded calmly.
Sanguinius's ears perked up, his face still concentrating on studying the dynamic map, but his footsteps were approaching quietly.
"Let me tell you, your psychic energy is very strong and may directly destroy the stability of the subspace channel. However, long-term subspace channels have special stabilizing devices that act as transmission circuits."
Magnus had been interrupted by Alexander before he could explain. Until Sanguinius made his decision, he had no chance to speak.
Now looking back on the Thousand Sons Legion's past dealing with subspace incidents and destroying some unknown subspace passages, Alexander was informed of the situation of the stabilizing device.
"Stabilizer, I get it."
"Do you want to record the data that I used psychic energy to destroy the subspace channel? If that doesn't work, try to destroy the stabilizing device."
Alexander knew that Magnus liked to study these, so he took this as a thank you.
Knowledge requires a price to obtain, and if it is on the battlefield, it needs to be exchanged for life.
Alexander also knew that the Gray Knight Terminator had a teleportation beacon in his memory, which could be teleported based on the positioning of the stabilizing device.
"Yes, the stabilization device has a very strong warp aura. It could be anything belonging to the followers of Khorne. You will easily feel it when you arrive near the passage."
Magnus pretended to take out a book and wrote on it.
"Hmm, what is dad doing? Isn't he paying attention to us?"
Alexander intuitively found that there seemed to be a third party eavesdropping, using psychic energy to extend to low-Earth orbit, but he did not notice anything unusual.
"My father seems to be making a chain sword for you, so he shouldn't be paying attention to us for the time being."
Magnus was also a little unsure.
With a snap, Sanguinius' palm suddenly landed on Magnus's shoulder, startling him with the sudden movement.
"Pay attention, we are very close to the demon army."
After Sanguinius finished speaking, he picked up his weapon and turned to leave the temporary mobile command room.
Alexander and Magnus looked at each other, as if they understood something, but they both said nothing in a tacit agreement.
Angels and demons appear under the same sky, and war is inevitable.
Sanguinius flew to a high altitude and drew out the Red Blade power sword. The heavy firepower of the Ninth Legion had already been deployed. After receiving the order, he immediately sprayed deadly shells towards the rift valley ahead.
The Thunderhawk gunships have all returned, and they have obtained the source of the blood army on this planet, the Royal Court Lighthouse.
However, if the Ninth Legion wants to capture this lighthouse, it must pass through the abyss and rift valley.
"I will go through this battle with everyone."
Alexander raised his hands, holding the Guard's Spear in one hand and the Power Sword in the other.
The legs under the Yaojin power armor were slightly bent, and the glass surface broke into spider web-like patterns under the huge force.
The flaming angel jumped into the sky, rushing in front of everyone like a shooting star.
Sanguinius wanted to follow closely for a moment, but when he looked back and saw that Magnus was no longer among the Legion, he settled down and continued to lead the Ninth Legion.
Nine bloodthirsty demons wield giant swords, axes and flails in their hands. Each of them controls a team of thousands of demon warriors.
These bloodthirsty demons, who were nearly ten meters tall, saw the smoke and dust generated by the movement of the legion in front from a distance. They immediately commanded the demon beasts with red scales to gather into a group and protect each demon warrior under them. .
Faced with the exaggerated heavy firepower of the material world, the blood army has its own way of coping and has also trained unique countermeasures.
"Remove the shackles and let the Winged Dragon beast take off!"
The bloodthirsty maniac who controlled the air unit waved his long whip, and the air was sucked out with a loud crackling sound.
Nearly twenty huge beasts were crawling in the army. The guarding demon used a sledgehammer to break the shackles on their necks and wings. The bat-winged beasts screamed and struggled to fly high into the sky.
Pterodactyl is a monster with a wingspan of more than twenty meters. Its upper body resembles a ferocious baboon, and its lower body is as close to a ten-meter-long python. When shackled, they crawl like a snake, and when flying into the air, they are as fast as a bat.
They are the aerial vanguard of Khorne's army. They can spit out viscous balls of flammable material from their mouths. If they hit an Imperial tank, they will explode instantly and incinerate the metal into liquid.
The bloodthirsty demons, who also have bat wings, will lead them straight to the Ninth Legion's artillery group units to conduct air strikes and gather information.
