Magnus: Long Time No See, Brother

The strike barges bearing the insignia of the Inquisition, under the command of the control tower, entered the Void Harbor.

Three fully armed Tempestus Scions squads followed five Astartes clad in black Power Armour.

Stepping out of the barge's hatch, they entered the harbor.

The five Astartes wore silver shoulder armor bearing the insignia of the Inquisition.

"Tempestus Scions squad? Black Power Armour? Inquisition insignia, wow, this must be Deathwatch's Kill Team."

Ten-Timer had just disembarked from the battleship Exemplar Fist,

They recognized the identity of this black-armored unit at a glance.

Deathwatch was born after the War of the Beast.

It is an important partner of the Inquisition for the Ordo Xenos.

It was the thirty-second millennium of the Imperium.

While carrying out routine extermination missions, the Imperial Fists Chapter discovered that the exterminated Xenos race— the Chrome-Star People— were fleeing from something.

As the extermination mission neared its end, a Mechanical Satellite suddenly appeared over the battlefield, causing spatial force field disturbances and tearing apart the Imperial Fleet in near-Earth orbit.

Countless Ork descended upon the surface, annihilating the Imperial Fists Chapter, with only Koorland escaping.

News of the annihilation of the Imperial Fists Chapter and a naval fleet reached Terra, causing widespread panic among the people.

Intelligence obtained by Terra indicates that this is an unprecedented WAAAGH Great Crusade.

In this expedition, even the most ordinary Ork Boy reached the size of a leader.

Its leader, the "The Beast," is even more incomprehensible.

When it first appeared, the Space Marines present all thought they had encountered a Gargant mech.

As the battle raged on, they discovered that the so-called mech was actually a living Ork.

To prevent the Orks from destroying the Imperium of Man,

Koorland, the last survivor of Imperial Fists, activated the Last Wall Protocol.

All Imperial Fists Legions gathered on Terra to restore their legionary structure in order to fight the Orks.

After thwarting the Ork's offensive, Koorland proposed establishing a special forces unit specifically to deal with the Xenos.

Each Chapter selected experienced veterans to form a new Chapter – Deathwatch.

At the same time, the Ordo Xenos was also established in the Inquisition.

The two cooperated closely, using decapitation tactics to eliminate Xenos threats throughout the Milky Way.

The Deathwatch Chapter has its own fortresses and strongholds throughout the Milky Way.

As for the Tempestus Scions, they were the Imperium's elite mortal force.

It was specifically established to carry out special missions that ordinary soldiers cannot perform.

The recruits are orphans raised by the Schola Progenium.

They were selected for the Schola Progenium because both their parents had sacrificed themselves for the Emperor.

They undergo brutal training from a young age and are equipped with the best weapons and equipment.

They have absolute loyalty to the Imperium.

"Deathwatch? What are they doing here?" The Twisted Man looked at the Deathwatch's Kill Team with curiosity.

"Perhaps they have a fortress in the Calixis Sector," Ten-Timer guessed, stroking his chin.

The Twisted Man slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "Could it be that there's another new plot development? It feels like there have been quite a few new plot developments coming out lately!!"

Ten-Timer looked thoughtful.

"Some time ago, the Guide spoke with the Aeldari NPC, indicating that players should go and explore special Chaos areas such as the Menagerie and the Soul-Stealing Chamber."

"Now Deathwatch, which is related to the Xenos, is coming to find the Guide again. Could it be that the new storyline and gameplay are all related to the Inquisition?"

"Maybe they're sending us to be part of the Inquisition's Kill Team, to carry out missions all over the Milky Way, to wipe out heretics and Xenos," the Twisted Man guessed.

"Very likely," Ten-Timer agreed with the Twisted Man's guess. "That would be much more interesting."

The meeting room of the Void Harbor.

Qin Yun and other members of the Inquisition, including Caidin, met with the Deathwatch Chapter's Kill Team.

"Living Saint, I am Noolrus, the captain of the Kill Team, and I have come here to seek your wisdom and help."

The lead black-armored warrior entered the hall, removed his helmet to reveal a resolute face, and bowed to Qin Yun.

"No need for formalities." Qin Yun sized up the Titus in front of him who called himself Noolrus.

Titus was born in the Agri World of Talentus, and his full name was Demetrian Titus.

As the only son of a poor family, Titus, like other promising young men, was selected by the Chapter's reconnaissance company selectors when he was a teenager.

Fifty years later, he became a medal-winning soldier in the 2nd Combat Company of the Ultramarines.

After the First Tyrannic War, the Ultramarines' First Company was completely wiped out.

Agemman, who was then the commander of the Second Company, was selected as the First Company to carry out the reconstruction.

Trajan, a senior sergeant, was promoted to Second Company, and Titus was promoted to adjutant.

Later, Trajan was ambushed by the Craftworld Aeldari during the Battle of Arcturus and ultimately perished.

Titus, who retrieved his body, was promoted to Second Company.

During the Battle of Graia in the Forge World, Titus was accused of heresy by his comrades.

Inquisitor Thrax ordered an investigation into him.

To protect the reputation of the Extreme Chapter, Titus chose to accept the investigation.

Upon learning of this, Calgar repeatedly requested the Inquisition to release Titus.

However, all related requests went Big Blue.

The Ultramarines Chapter were busy with various battles and could not spare the time to search for Inquisitor Thrax, so the rescue of Titus was delayed.

Inquisitor Thrax was possessed by a demon during an operation and ultimately died a gruesome death at the hands of the Grey Knights.

When the Red Hunters Chapter ordered to search the former stronghold of Inquisitor Thrax...

Many Space Marines were discovered imprisoned in Stasis Field awaiting 'investigation'.

This includes Titus.

These 'rescued' Space Marines were transferred to a Deathwatch fortress to await the processing of their respective Chapter.

Titus was imprisoned for over a century, never receiving a rescue from the Chapter.

He believed that his actions had brought shame to the Chapter, which was why the Chapter ignored him.

Disheartened, he changed his Noolrus and joined Deathwatch.

"Why don't I call you by your real name, Titus?"

Qin Yun's words made Titus's eyes widen.

He thought no one would remember that name anymore.

The Living Saint before him, however, saw through his words, which both surprised and delighted him.

I'm glad that some people still remember the name Titus.

The fear stemmed from the apprehension that the Living Saint before him had already seen through his past 'humiliation'.

"Does the captain have another name?" Belen, another member of the Kill Team, with a surprised tone.

"Titus, sounds pretty good, but why don't we know him, but he does?" Darius, who was also in the Kill Team, frowned.

"It feels like the captain is hiding a lot of secrets from us."

"..."

"That was a shameful name. I am now called Noolrus."

Titus's face darkened as he recalled being abandoned by the Chapter.

"It Indomitus, Titus. Your name is a symbol of honor. I have seen your statue in the Ultramarines Hall of Fame."

"Calgar has been searching for you for the past hundred years. But the Inquisition has never revealed the whereabouts of Inquisitor Thrax to him, which is why he was unable to save you."

"Your brothers all thought you were dead, and the base of your statue is inscribed with 'A hero who gave his life for the Emperor —Dmitriian Titus,'"

"Is this true?" Titus stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.

"It's true, of course. There's one more thing I need to tell you: your Primarch — Roboute Guilliman— has also been resurrected. If you have time, you should go back and see him."

Qin Yun placed his hand on Titus's shoulder and said, "Everything in the past was just a misunderstanding. Your Chapter did not abandon you. You should return to your brothers."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark." Titus looked grateful.

He always thought he had been abandoned, a wanderer who would never have brothers or a home again.

Now I realize that I was just overthinking things.

Calgar never gave up looking for him, he just couldn't find him.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing your personal matters, let's get down to business. Why did you come here?"

"As members of the Deathwatch Legion, your duty is to eliminate Xenos, not to cooperate in suppressing local rebellions."

Qin Yun stared intently at Titus.

"This rebellion is related to the Xenos," Titus said. "We have been on orders from the Ordo Xenos to exterminate the Xenos and Corruption in the Calixis Sector."

"The Ordo Xenos recently discovered evidence that the Eternal Consortium was suspected of colluding with the Xenos. This seemingly loose alliance, composed of trading captains and merchants from outpost colonies, is actually backed by 'Worm-men' from the Koronus Expanse."

"These Xenos carry out their plans to breed and enslave humans by supporting proxies."

"The Ordo Xenos discovered an anomaly in the world of Josian at the edge of the sector and has dispatched us to investigate."

"We unexpectedly discovered that the Eternal Consortium is assisting the Xenos 'Worm-men' in raising local humans."

"Throughout the galaxy, more than 1.5 billion humans are enslaved, fed on by 'Worm-men' who suck their souls."

"When we arrived, they had completely lost their minds and become puppets of the Xenos."

"When we carried out Exterminatus on that world and planned to wipe out the Eternal Consortium throughout the Milky Way, the Colin Family betrayed us, and the Eternal Consortium was one of their supporters."

"They have amassed an unimaginable army in the world of Haxil, and the Deathwatch of the Calixis Sector is insufficient to destroy them, so we have no choice but to ask for your help."

Qin Yun opened the projected star map and located the Hive World of Josian and Haxil.

They are all located on the edge of the Calixis Sector, and it is clear that this corruption has been going on for a long time.

"It seems that the Colin Family has not only built a network of interests covering the entire star sector, but also secretly colluded with many heretics and Xenos races."

"I will assist you, but now is not the time. Moreover, the Eternal Consortium is colluding with the Colin Family. Even if you lead troops to the Haxil world, it will be meaningless. The rebels will definitely find a way to support their Xenos allies."

"In that case, why not concentrate our forces to strike at the rebels' remaining strength? We are about to attack the Forge World Las, so perhaps you can join us first."

Titus hesitated for a moment, then discussed it with his teammates before finally nodding in agreement.

"Alright, we will fight for you," Titus said.

The fury of the Warp was beyond imagination, but the Pilgrimage Crusade fleet forged ahead, overcoming all obstacles.

Whenever the fleet sailed out of the Warp, Guilliman would summon his Astropaths to receive Star Speaker messages as much as possible.

These messages revealed to the Primarch the current dire state of the Milky Way.

Supernatural disasters have struck every sector of the planetary system, demons have invaded, and plagues have ravaged the land.

The Mutants and Psyker has exploded at an unprecedented rate, accompanied by a variety of terrifying and insane phenomena.

The Imperium's loyal servants have transformed into shrill Cultists, wreaking havoc and running rampant.

The Xenos army, fueled by the raging waves of the Warp, launched a massive invasion, sending out a deluge of distress calls, and countless Imperial World were ravaged.

These news weighed heavily on everyone's minds, making it hard for them to breathe.

The constant tension had a negative impact on the servants, sailors, and Chapter squires in the pilgrimage fleet.

It caused them to vomit and have diarrhea, become depressed, and in some cases even became seriously ill.

When they reached the edge of the Maelstrom, an unimaginable Aether Storm suddenly appeared.

The fleet navigator let out painful screams and groans, the Astropaths convulsed from the pressure of the Warp energy, and the Astronomican flickered and dimmed to almost invisible.

The pilgrimage fleet was forced to warp, leaving the Warp and entering the physical universe.

However, as soon as they entered the physical universe, they encountered a premeditated ambush.

A voice rang out in the pilgrimage fleet's communication channel.

"Long time no see, my brother."

Guilliman was furious. He recognized the voice; it belonged to his traitorous brother, Magnus.

He tried his best to command the fleet and do everything he could to turn the tide of the battle, but Magnus had set a trap for him, and he was not about to escape so easily.

The Macro-cannon barrage rained down, destroying warship after warship.

Countless torpedoes engraved with runes were concentrated on the loyalist side, and the boiling power of the Warp turned the bridge and ammunition depot into a sea of fire.

At the moment of despair, the Bald Monk stepped forward.

"Primarch, we request to board the Revenge of Tizca."

"As long as we can get the Cyclonic Torpedo warheads into that flagship, we can definitely turn the tide and create an opportunity for the fleet to evacuate."

Guilliman sized up the God Chosen before him.

Although they are usually quite unserious, they are very trustworthy when it matters.

"Go ahead and do it," Guilliman nodded.

But the Bald Monk and the other players stared wide-eyed and did not leave immediately; instead, they waited for him expectantly.

Only then did Guilliman remember Qin Yun's instructions, and he hurriedly opened the interface and began editing the task.

Mission: Desperate Gamble

The Pilgrimage Crusade expedition was ambushed by the evil Primarch Magnus, whose powerful Chaos warships plunged the entire Pilgrimage Crusade fleet into crisis. Someone must step forward and disable Magnus's flagship to allow the expedition fleet to escape.

The Loyal Primarch — Guilliman is searching for a hero willing to sacrifice himself. Go find him quickly and take on this glorious mission.

Basic rewards: 150,000 Contribution Points, 10,000 Honor Points, and one Ultramarines Chapter Relic.

"There are Relic! That's amazing! I knew that volunteering would get me more rewards."

The Bald Monk looked excited.

"Brothers, let's get ready for the boarding mission and teach that sunburnt One-Eyed Ogryn a lesson."

PS: I'm sorry, not only did I fail to complete the extra chapters, but I also couldn't even maintain a daily update of over 10,000 chapters. I owe four chapters for now, and I won't add any more. I'll see when I can recover.

These are Worm-men.
