Anreda walked behind Vanessa and explained the current situation to her in a low voice.
"In fact, you don't have to take what they talk about seriously, try to understand it, or analyze it."
"This meeting was originally supposed to talk about Espandor, but the Primarch is not only facing the war troubles brought by his brother, but also the problem of ruling Ultramar. He has been away for too long."
"So no matter what inexplicable things the original body and others are saying, they are only discussing one issue after all: the ownership of power."
After hearing the explanation, Vanessa suddenly realized.
It turns out that what they said was not to discuss the matter itself. The issues of the Four Heroes and the Holy Scriptures were just talking chips used to express their opinions.
While Vanessa was listening to Andreda's explanation, Guilliman had already spoken to the mortals. Finally, when the doubts reached their peak, one man stood up and stated that his power was given by the Emperor himself.
Guilliman told them in a low voice that the source of their power was not the Emperor, but the Terran Council. The Terran Council was established with his own help, so it was obvious where their ruling power came from.
Eventually Tribune Corken agreed with Guilliman's words.
The mortals were speechless.
After letting the people settle down, Guilliman got down to business.
"Sisters." Guilliman first looked at Sister Silence, then nodded towards Calgar.
Although Guilliman did not say what he wanted the Sisters of Silence to do, the Sisters of Silence had already developed a habit of wondering what role they could play and what role they should play, so they spread out and stood on each side of the conference room. in a corner.
Calgar used a projector to play the contents of the videotape.
That's what Felix captured on Espando.
In the video is a machine with a strange shape, like a mixture of technology and witchcraft application technology.
Without the presence of the Sisters of Silence, the contents of the tape alone would be enough to corrupt the minds of mortals, turning them into slaves to Chaos.
"This is why the Five Hundred Worlds are full of plagues and rebellions." Guilliman stood up and explained to everyone, "Espando, Parmenio, and other planets have these machines, they are all subspace Nodes in the Wiccan ritual network, and the machines on Espandor are particularly powerful.”
Everyone in the conference hall began to whisper again.
Some people realize that what the Prime is saying now is the most important thing and that they were just adding to the confusion.
Some people think that the original body should not say this to them, because the original body has taken away their power. If there is anything that needs to be solved, let the four heroes of the original body take care of it.
Not all of the people present were governors who had been deprived of power, there were also some who were responsible for the auxiliary armies and military supplies of the Five Hundred Worlds, and Guilliman needed them.
Even Space Marines who become administrators need the response of mortals, otherwise they can't do much.
"I need war supplies, and I need you to be loyal to your duties. When I personally lead the army to deal with the machines on Espandor, you need to do your job and provide me with what I need." Guilliman explain.
Opinion remains divided.
Some people were grateful to Guilliman, some felt that Guilliman should not lead the troops to Espandor himself, and some decided to go against the rules.
"I will go with you to destroy the machine on Espandor." Qin Mo stood up and spoke to Guilliman, but he looked at most of the people in the conference hall when he spoke, "It seems that we Tyrones More concerned about the survival of the Five Hundred Worlds than some people from the Five Hundred Worlds."
After speaking, Qin Mo left with the guards and Vanessa.
This sentence angered everyone, and those who had been prepared to oppose any decision of Guilliman now showed the most active attitude.
Guilliman nodded with satisfaction and left the conference hall to prepare for the war.
Chapter 543 Spear of Espandor
……
The tough battle on Espando continues.
Ax, which was not lost, continues to serve as a hospital world for soldiers who participated in the war in Espando, Palmedeo and many other worlds.
Yax has been taken over by Tyrone's artificial intelligence, expanding more hospitals, producing more logistics machinery to serve the wounded, and even the artificial intelligence has come up with rules for vacation shifts for soldiers who have been fighting on the front line for a period of time You will be able to return to Yax to rest for a few days, eat unlimited ice cream and other food for a few days and then go back to fight.
However, the purpose of artificial intelligence is not to show any humanistic care, but to allow Yax to play an unexpected role in the entire battle.
Every soldier and everyone on Yax feels that they have an illusion, that is, the impact of the plague in the star system around Yax is much weaker than before, and the treatment of the wounded infected by the plague has also been inexplicably accelerated a lot.
Even those who are driven crazy by the ugly enemy can return to normal as long as they go to Yax, and then return to the battlefield with confidence, shouting that they will fight the Plague Soldiers to the end for the sake of five hundred worlds.
Only those entities in the Sea of Souls can discover that the concept and role of the entire Yax in this war in the real universe has been sublimated. It has become the opposite of corruption and death, and has played a role far beyond The role of a hospital world.
The ice cream cakes produced by those logistics machines are not just for the soldiers to enjoy themselves, but also to form a consensus among the creatures who are naturally related to the subspace. Those who are in Yax will definitely heal their bodies and minds.
But what the mortal auxiliary armies of the Five Hundred Worlds face are ugly and twisted supernatural enemies after all. Even if Yax heals everyone's body and mind, they can only fight a stalemate with the enemy.
Espandor's stalemate was reversed with the arrival of the Primarch.
In the command deck of Macragge's Glory, Guilliman sat on a chair and processed hundreds of Espandor's battlefields at the same time.
This war effort, in which the Primarch would personally take part, was known as Espandor's Spear.
The Ultramarines have already airdropped towards the eastern continent occupied by the enemy and have begun to clear the enemy's air defense positions.
Also commanded by Guilliman is the 44th Regiment of the Tyron Army. This is the army that Qin Mo had previously mentioned in the communication that could be commanded by the original body.
The 44th Infantry Regiment has the ability to teleport, and they are all elite soldiers. There are also Ogryns, Lytlings, Long-Leggs, these demi-human soldiers who are armed with special equipment to become super war machines, and even those who have been persecuted by the Inquisition or the Ecclesiarchy. , but they are unwilling to defect to the Space Marines of Chaos.
The Burning Falcon Space Marines, who were suspected of being potential traitors by the Inquisition and designed to slaughter only three of them, wore jetpacks capable of traveling at Mach 2 speeds, energy shields, and melee and ranged weapons. All installed.
The Sons of Antaeus, who were extremely strong and nearly as tall as the Primarch, wore armor that was heavier than the Terminator Armor of the Primarch during the Great Crusade, and looked like siege-dreadnoughts from the 30th millennium. .
The Black Dragon Space Marines, whose gene seed mutations cause them to easily grow bone spurs, also wear heavy Terminator power armor, as well as various defensive force fields and energy shields, so that they can fully exert their combat capabilities in close combat.
There are also various other Space Marines, all of whom have received a supply of weapons and equipment from the Tyron Sector that far exceeds that of the Forge World.
Guilliman was in disbelief when he commanded the 44th Infantry Regiment and the Tyron Space Marines - the Tyron sector had gathered a Space Marine force of about two hundred people.
No matter what chapter the individuals in this Space Marine force once belonged to or what their fighting style was, the Tyrone Sector will tailor the battle plan and the best weapons and equipment that best suits them.
In order to help Qin Mo test the combat capabilities of these space warriors, Guilliman specially arranged for them to join the 44th Infantry Regiment and the st and nd Companies of the Ultramarines to attack the large fortress established by the traitors at the core of the Eastern Continent.
……
"Stand behind the sons of Antaeus!"
A Letling ratman had just dispatched two heavy weapon operators on the fortress wall through dimensional teleportation, when his arm was shattered by a subsequent bomb.
Zabriel, the fallen angel, stepped forward and dragged the Letlings back, and then the sons of Antaeus who participated in the attack on the fortress took heavy steps and walked past Zabriel with a roaring roar.
There are three Sons of Antaeus battle teams in total.
There are six people in each combat team, all wearing the thickest new Terminator power armor. They look stronger and bigger than the Dauntless.
The heavy firepower on the fortress wall immediately focused on the Sons of Antaeus, but no matter how powerful the attack was, it was first blocked by the deceleration force field, and then weakly hit the energy shield.
Even the huge power armor of the Sons of Antaeus is equipped with energy shields on its chest, head and limbs. If you want to use attacks to test whether their power armor is strong, you must first peel off the layers of energy shields. .
The firepower of these Space Marines is equally formidable.
The energy heavy cannons attached to both arms can fire beams that penetrate the city wall every second, and the rocket launcher nest behind the back can create hundreds of explosions on the city wall with one roar.
The Sons of Antaeus were as tall as the primarch when wearing armor, but their heavy weaponry also made their movements clumsy.
The thick force field generator prevents them from swinging their arms when walking. The legs wrapped in adamantine armor leave a ten centimeter deep footprint from being lifted up to slamming to the ground. The whole process takes a full second.
But agility is something the sons of Antaeus don't need.
Terminators from two companies of the Ultramarines followed the Sons of Antaeus, with Fallen Angels, Black Dragons, and other assorted Space Marines also wearing Terminators following behind.
The mission of the Space Marines is to attack frontally and withstand fire, while the mission of the 44th Infantry Regiment is to clean up the enemies around them.
The three burning falcons swooped down from the sky after the city gate was blown apart, and landed on the city wall to slaughter the mortal traitors who wielded heavy weapons.
The Black Dragon Space Marines teleported to the top of the city wall to kill the Plague Marines.
The appendages on the power armor inject the immune medicine developed by Aisha into the fixed injection port every ten minutes.
When they completely breached the fortress wall and headed towards the air defense position, some tanks with rotten tentacles came out in groups.
Faced with these tanks, Chapter Master Sarran of the Sons of Antaeus shouted orders to his battle brothers.
"Don't retreat an inch! Fighting brothers!"
"If we crush this fortress once and for all, the Sector will fulfill its promise and give us a homeworld called Antaeus!"
"For our future home! For Antaeus! For the three hundred worlds of Tyrone!"
Three Sons of Antaeus battle squad followed Saran's plodding steps, firing as the tanks fired shells that cracked against their energy shields.
While the enemy struggled not to focus their fire on the Sons of Antaeus, who looked like the eighteen Primarchs, the remaining Space Marines outflanked the armored forces from all directions, destroying them with anti-armor melta weapons.
Even the Black Dragon Space Marines rushed forward and stabbed the enemies in the tank to death with bone spurs.
Zabriel led his fallen angel brothers through the barrage of fire to attack the Plague Marines behind the armored forces.
Although it was their obligation to leave Caris to respond to the call as members of Tyrone, the sector still gave them all various promises.
Chapter 544: Quickly brush Kalama
During the attack, Saran took the lead and withstood too much artillery fire, and the shield on his chest was shattered. He could only raise his arms and use the shield on his arms to resist the next attack.
Fortunately, the armored forces were almost wiped out at this time.
The entire fortress was completely captured, the mortal traitors were defeated on the spot, and the Plague Marines also died in the previous battle.
The Space Marines stood and waited.
The Ratling Ratmen of the 44th Infantry Regiment teleported back and forth between various anti-aircraft weapon positions and installed explosives.
At this time, Zabriel's auspicious instrument suddenly trembled.
One of the Space Marines holding a scepter also felt uncomfortable.
The think tank of the First Company of the Ultramarines also noticed something at this time.
"Brother Anji!" Saran turned his whole body awkwardly and looked at a black-armored space warrior in the attacking team.
Angie was originally a Space Marine of the Black Templars, but because he awakened his psychic talent in a battle, he did not want to die in the hands of his own people, nor did he want to go to the Maelstrom like another brother who escaped with him. After many twists and turns, he came to Tyrone. and received asylum.
Angie's psionic specialized terminator power armor is attached with a device that draws the subspace psionic matrix entity to form a small protective shadow, and a psionic radiator used to discharge the heat energy of the subspace.
But Angie is not a psyker who is good at fighting anyway. He is better at predicting, so he can be regarded as the think tank of the Space Marines on Caris.
"I saw!"
Anji pressed his right hand on his forehead, and purple light was released from the electronic viewer in his eyes.
Angie saw something completely different than everyone else.
