The scene in front of me was fleeting.
Duanmu Huai stood on the bridge. Their fleet passed through the turbulence of subspace and appeared silently not far from the planet Istvan III where the signal was sent. At this moment, the planet had been looked like It was shrouded in poisonous fog, and a fleet was docked in the orbit of the surrounding planet.
The next moment, Duanmuhuai and others saw a sudden flash of fire in front of their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Istvan III planet turned into a blazing flame planet.
Oh, this is really a reenactment of the Horus Heresy.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai whistled. In history, Horus used this trick to purge himself and other Space Marines loyal to the Emperor from his legions, and sent them all to attack the ground on the pretext of countering rebellion. The rebels then backstabbed a wave of virus bombs, turning the entire planet's surface into a terrifying world filled with death gas, and then ignited the poison gas again to completely burn the entire planet dry.
Well, Duanmu Huai also has this kind of weapon, but it's basically not used much.
After all... When you can blow up a planet directly, this kind of surface disinfection work is thankless.
And it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
Although this attack did purge some of the Space Marines loyal to the Emperor, most of the Space Marines received warnings before the attack and hid directly in sealed underground bunkers and escaped. As a result, after that It took Horus some time to clear up the heresy.
So you see, it wouldn't be so much trouble if we just blow the planet to pieces.
I don’t know who is replicating Horus’s retarded operation this time.
"Report."
Just when Duanmuhuai was curious and planned to pass by to see the excitement, the communications officer in front reported to him.
"We received communication instructions from the opposing fleet."
"Oh? Who are they?"
"They call themselves the Sons of Horus and ask us which Primarch fleet we are and why we are here."
"Huh? Son of Horus?"
Hearing the message from the correspondent, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment. Are all COSs nowadays so professional? Even burning the planet is a replica? Is there another wave of backstabbing Loyalist Space Marines?
Um? etc………
Duanmuhuai looked at the opponent's fleet, and then suddenly narrowed his eyes. Because he saw a very familiar, huge crimson battleship located in the bombing position of the planet's high-altitude orbit, and this battleship was the flagship of Horus - the Vengeful Spirit!
Uh, did I travel through time?
Okay, even though I have traveled through time.
After a careful glance, Duanmu Huai quickly discovered that something was wrong. The battleships in front of him were undoubtedly imperial battleships, but they were all battleships from the early empire and the Great Expedition period. Even if Duanmu Huai's battleship is of the same model, it is still a battleship from the Inquisition period - that was already in the later stages of the empire.
Of course, battleship design has been evolving, but the main difference is that the battleships during the Great Expedition were still purely military weapons and did not have too many complicated designs. But the Inquisition is affiliated with the state religion, because the religious atmosphere of the battleships is particularly obvious. It is said that every battleship is a mobile church, which is basically the characteristics of the Inquisition's fleet.
In other words, did he really travel to Istvan III, when Horus betrayed him?
Could this be a historical copy?
No matter what, Duanmuhuai's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought of this.
Beating Horus is every player's dream. No matter if he is a copy or something else, beat him first. If the history they heard is correct, Horus has been bewitched by the Chaos Evil God and has become their lackey. If this is the case, then as the Tribunal, they have only one thing to do!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"Put me through the Vengeful Spirit."
Soon, the screen flickered, and then a super bald head appeared in front of Duanmu Huai. He was wearing platinum armor. The one-eyed symbol on his chest was extremely eye-catching. His fair, perfect face revealed an incomparable beauty at this moment. Gloomy and ferocious, he looks like a twisted, violent madman.
Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, held his arms and stared at him.
"Are you Warmaster Horus?"
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Horus' face darkened.
"Are you a subordinate of Luojia?"
.........Considering that Lorgar is a fanatical religious lunatic, the pure church style of the Inquisition fleet is indeed...how to put it...well, you really can't say that it has nothing to do with Lorgar. .
After all, he was the first proponent of the state religion to write the Book of Sacred Scripture and claim that the Emperor was the true God.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but want to laugh. Luojia was also one of the Primarchs. After the Emperor brought him back, he worshiped the Emperor crazily and desperately as the true god. However, what the Emperor promoted was not The Emperor did not have a good temper towards his son who dared to blatantly defy the truth. He directly sent people to burn down Lorgar's home planet, destroying his gang of crazy missionaries, churches and scriptures. Burned clean.
Lorgar began to hate the Emperor and eventually joined the rebellion.
But in the end, it was Luojia who laughed last. Ten thousand years later, the book of Holy Words written by Luojia was known to everyone and even became the state religion of the empire. The truth of the empire had long been thrown into the trash. .
Under the Emperor Jiuquan, Youzhi was afraid that he would be angered to death again.
I don’t know how it feels to be slapped in the face by his own son. If he could meet the emperor, Duanmu Huai would definitely ask him how he felt when he saw that the people of the empire had become followers of Lorgar. How do you feel?
It must be interesting.
"Is Erebus there too?"
Duanmuhuai ignored Horus's inquiry and asked directly. Seeing his appearance, Horus's expression became more ferocious and angry. At this moment, a man with runes painted on his head and face looked very distorted. The man appeared on the screen. He carefully avoided the war commander and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"I am Erebus...and you are...?"
"very good."
Now that the other party took the initiative to admit it, Duanmu Huai didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. His face suddenly darkened, and then he looked at Horus.
"Warmaster Horus! Your betrayal of the Emperor... I don't care, and I don't care. But you are so audacious that you dare to collude with the Chaos God, and Erebus, as the Evil God's lackey, wantonly Spreading chaos and filth is an unforgivable crime!"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai clenched his war hammer, raised it suddenly, and pointed it at the two of them.
"I, in the name of the Tribunal, declare that you are heretics who have fallen into Chaos. Any heresy that dares to threaten mankind must be completely eliminated. Prepare to be purified by the Tribunal! Damn heretics!"
Having said this, Duanmuhuai cut off the communication and quickly issued the order.
"Everyone opens fire, target the Sons of Horus fleet, the Night Guard, follow me and prepare to airdrop to the planet Istvan III! Ekot, take responsibility for me to fight these bastards back!"
After realizing that something was wrong, Duanmu Huai went back and gathered an entire first fleet, and specifically called Aikote. Now it seems that he was right.
The reason why Duanmu Huai did this was because he remembered that according to historical records, there was a reason why the rebellion was delayed for so long. Originally, Horus planned to directly use virus weapons to completely kill the Loyalist Space Marines. However, after the first round of bombings, some of the World-Deaders cursed their original body as a traitor and had already fallen into Chaos, along with Horus. Angron, the primarch of the World Death Legion who started the rebellion, was originally a bad-tempered man. He couldn't bear this and went off to fight in person.
So Horus could only stare - he couldn't blow up his companions too.
What else can be done? I had no choice but to bite the bullet and send someone to work. As a result, the problem that could be solved in one day was delayed for a long time...
Hmm, maybe this is Angron's curveball loyalty?
At the same time, the battle also began.
Under the command of Ecott, the first fleet turned around without hesitation and bombarded the Spirit of Vengeance fleet indiscriminately, and the latter...
"What exactly is going on!"
Warmaster Horus stabilized his position, his face as cold as ice.
When he first saw this mysterious fleet that suddenly appeared, he thought it was Lorgar who had arrived. After all, the fleet's religious style was too strong, and in the empire, Lorgar was the only one who dared to believe in religion in front of the emperor.
As a result...what is the Tribunal?
What made Horus even more furious was that the strange man actually pointed directly at his nose and cursed, which made Horus almost crazy with anger. who is he? He is the Warmaster! He is Horus! He is the Destined One who will defeat the Emperor and retake the entire galaxy, and now, this bastard appears out of nowhere and calls himself a "heretic"?
"I must kill him, completely destroy this fleet, open fire! I will completely turn this fleet into a pile of scrap metal in the universe!"
Fire was blazing, and the two fleets instantly engaged in battle. Under the command of Ekot, the Tribunal fleet turned into a sharp blade and plunged straight into the center. However, the reaction of the Horus fleet was obviously a step slower. Their first wave of attacks had just been launched, and the light spears and macro cannons from the Tribunal roared. It exploded on the void shield and completely destroyed the void shield in the blink of an eye.
"They use the same technology as us!"
The gunnery commander shouted loudly.
"But their firepower is stronger than ours, and their void shield is stronger. We are no match!"
"Damn, damn...!!!"
Watching the battleship in front of him explode in blazing fire, Horus looked livid. Looking at the fleet that suddenly appeared in front of him, he already had an idea. After all, those beings in the void had told Horus that the Emperor aspired to become a god. Could it be said that this fleet belonged to the Emperor? The church fleet?
Thinking of this, Horus was even more furious. Sure enough, everything was a lie, the truth of the Empire was a lie, and the Great Crusade was also a lie! The Emperor just wants to become a god, abandon us and the Empire, and become a god by himself! And he has never trusted himself. Maybe this fleet has been monitoring him under the emperor's order! Otherwise, how could it have appeared by such a coincidence!
It's all the Emperor's fault!
No, everything is the fault of the false emperor!
"We must retreat temporarily!"
Erebus didn't know if he thought of the same thing, but his expression changed drastically at this moment, and he hurriedly looked at Horus.
"The opponent's firepower is fierce, and our strength alone is simply not enough to fight against it! We must gather other fleets and completely blockade the Istvan system!"
"I know, get out of here, Word Bearer!"
Horus pushed Erebus away, gritting his teeth and staring at the star map in front of him. He knew that what Erebus said made sense. Although Horus had gathered four renegade Primarchs including him, Angron, Mortarion and Fulgrim, the fleets of the other three were not here. When we meet here, the opponent's firepower is fierce, and I am afraid that it is indeed no match for our own fleet alone.
But……………
"Father!!"
Horus clenched his fists, his eyes were painful, and he smashed the table in front of him with all his strength.
"You have never trusted me! Never!!"
No one spoke, everyone looked at the extremely angry Warmaster and remained silent. Horus raised his head after a moment and gave the order coldly.
"Bring Angron back! Prepare to evacuate immediately. We will call other fleets to join together and block the jump point of the Istvan system! Stop them from spreading the information!"
At the same time, on the surface of the planet Istvan III, the battle was still extremely fierce.
The poisonous gas and fire killed all life on the surface, and now only the remains of the buildings were left. The Space Marines who were loyal to the Emperor and betrayed by their Primarch united together and began to resist. Of course they know that this resistance may be in vain. After all, they have nothing, no combat preparations, and no battleships. The steel battleships they originally relied on have now become life-threatening talismans hanging above their heads.
If Angron, the mentally ill Primarch, hadn't led his army down, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.
But now... at least they have a glimmer of hope.
Or just delaying death a little further.
Just a little bit.
The primarch Angron, who was like a god descending from the earth, held a chain ax in his hand and led the world-killers under his command to rush forward like a violent raging wave. His battle ax suddenly swung down, killing the loyalist World-Destroyer warrior standing in front of him - the latter was as violent, as angry, and as unstoppable as he was.
Until they met Angron.
A melee broke out between the two sides, but the Loyalist Space Marines were clearly no match for the Primarch, and they were almost slaughtered.
Until the dark landing cabin fell from the sky like a cannonball, hitting the battlefield heavily.
"boom-----!!!"
The landing cabin slammed down hard, directly smashing a world-killer into a pulp. Then with a "bang", the twisted and deformed cabin door was kicked open, and Duanmu Huai strode out with a warhammer in his hand.
"Angron!!!"
His roar echoed across the battlefield, naturally attracting the attention of the crazed and furious primarch who was killing people.
"You betrayed humanity and took refuge in Chaos. Your crime is unforgivable. In the name of the Tribunal, I will kill you here! Heretics must die!!"
"Roar-------!"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's roar, Angron also looked up to the sky and roared, then he suddenly changed direction and rushed towards Duanmu Huai like an angry bull. Duanmu Huai also raised his war hammer and strode forward to greet him.
Then, the chain saw ax and the thunder hammer smashed together like this!
