Dante: We're Screwed, We've Caused a Major Disaster
Can the authenticity of this news be guaranteed?
Qin Yun knew that Lion El'Jonson's return was inevitable.
Unlike Guilliman, who was wounded by Fulgrim's Blade of Chaos.
The Lion's battle with his adoptive father Luther,
Although intense, it did not damage the essence.
It was only because of the inner pain and the shock caused by the shattering of the Caliban world that the Lion fell into a coma and was swept into the time turbulence to drift.
For millennia, the robed figures of Caliban have protected the Lion and know where the Lion is.
But they just wouldn't tell the Dark Angels.
With the Emperor's guidance and assistance, the Lion's return to the Imperium is only a matter of time.
But he still asked one more question.
In today's Milky Way, all sorts of monsters and demons have emerged.
The situation is complicated, and one could easily fall into someone else's trap if one is not careful, so we must be careful.
"This is a message from the Kamas System. After multiple verifications, its purity has been confirmed, but I cannot guarantee the authenticity of the message content."
Dante's first reaction upon receiving this celestial message was shock.
Since Guilliman, another Primarch has returned.
He immediately chose to inform the Living Saint and leave the decision to him.
"You did the right thing. Timely communication is a good way to dispel doubts."
Qin Yun affirmed Dante's actions.
In the Warhammer Universe, the most taboo thing is to harbor ulterior motives.
If anyone tries to keep a secret, the Chaos Gods will come running at the first sign of it.
After a series of bizarre maneuvers, what was originally a trivial matter was turned into a bloodbath with mountains of corpses.
"This news needs to be verified as soon as possible. The situation in the Milky Way is extremely urgent right now..."
Qin Yun informed Dante of the latest news regarding the Orks.
"Someone intends to use the Orks to balance the power in the Milky Way?" Dante frowned upon hearing this.
As a veteran who fought for the Imperium for many years,
Dante had also experienced many major battles against the Ork and knew how troublesome this race was.
It can be described as an absolute tumor in the Milky Way.
If you slack off even a little, it will grow to a very difficult stage.
If these Ork were restored to the physical condition and technology of the War in Heaven,
It would be an unimaginable catastrophe for the Imperium of Man.
"Yes, we must be prepared to deal with any crisis," Qin Yun said. "Therefore, we must verify the authenticity of this news as soon as possible."
"If it's true, we must get the Lion to contact us. If it's false, we must investigate the conspiracy behind it and prevent it from causing even greater harm."
"Once the Battle of Rontien is resolved, I will immediately travel to the Kamas System to verify the authenticity of this information," Dante said.
"Alright." Qin Yun nodded. "I'll leave the matters concerning the Imperium Nihilus to you."
"It is all my duty," Dante said.
"By the way, before the authenticity of this news is confirmed, we should not spread it widely to avoid provoking an overreaction from the First Legion and causing unnecessary casualties."
Considering the First Legion's obsessive pursuit of the Fallen Angels, Qin Yun offered a few words of advice.
Those Dark Angels have gone mad in their desire to keep their so-called secret.
Let alone targeting the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Inquisition,
They even dared to break into the Adeptus Custodes Guard's dungeon, all to kill the Fallen Angels.
If they knew there was a group of Fallen Angels in the Kamas System, wouldn't they be sending out their the Rock to carry out Exterminatus?
At that moment, the Lion roared at the top of his lungs, "Your father is here, don't fire!"
The Dark Angels turned his head and spoke with a cold laugh.
"A bunch of damned Fallen Angels are trying to fool me. Prepare the Exterminatus."
Dante nodded.
Having lived for so long, he knew more or less that the Dark Angels were hiding some things.
"I understand. I will have people block the news until it is officially confirmed."
"..."
After discussing the return of the Lion,
Dante then reported to Qin Yun on some developments regarding the Imperium Nihilus.
With the deployment of the Beacon system, Warp travel in the Imperium Nihilus is gradually resuming.
The Imperium's ships were no longer as reckless as before, only daring to make short jumps.
The Blood Angels and their numerous sub-groups launched successive attacks, saving many worlds.
Officials and Adeptus Mechanicus dispatched by the Calixis Sector are also assisting in the reconstruction of various worlds and promoting reforms and the dissemination of new technologies.
There are many powerful figures who oppose reform, but they haven't gained much traction.
"You have done well, Dante. Entrusting the Imperium Nihilus to you was the right choice."
Qin Yun nodded, acknowledging Dante's contribution.
This made Dante very happy.
Gaining the father's approval is the wish of every child.
After chatting for more than an hour, the two ended their communication.
As the hum of the Quantum Engine gradually subsided, the projection screen also gradually dimmed.
Darkness once again enveloped the communications room.
Qin Yun stood in the darkness, pondering whether or not to tell Guilliman about the Lion's return.
After weighing the options, they decided to put it aside for a while and wait until Dante verified its authenticity before making a decision.
The battle for the Eternal Dusk Space Hulk has come to the Veil.
Logan kept his promise and rewarded the players.
However, before everyone could catch their breath, they received a flood of requests for help.
Xenos invasions, Chaos corruption, Genestealers uprisings, and so on, are just a few examples.
The Imperium of Man is like a big cake, and everyone wants a slice.
After discussing it with Logan, Qin Yun
The decision was made to break up the God Chosen, Space Wolves, and Imperial Army into task forces and send them to support different worlds.
Logan, the Wolf Lord, also leads a task force to support a planet harassed by Ork.
Qin Yun then led a group of players to help an Industrial World that was being invaded by the Night Lord.
Rontien System
After ending the communication with the Living Saint,
Dante immediately issued orders to launch a final assault on the rebels.
After a fierce battle,
The Imperium forces, led by the Blood Angels, successfully suppressed the rebels who had been corrupted by the Genestealers.
The Imperium will once again bring several worlds in the Rontien System under its rule.
As soon as the war ended, the reconstruction of the Rontien System began rapidly.
Magos from the Adeptus Mechanicus of the Calixis Sector deployed a large amount of industrial equipment to help the locals rebuild the city, construct orbital stations, and Beacon.
Officials dispatched by the Calixis Sector government oversee matters related to the implementation of reforms in the area.
Players also began to conduct business activities in the Rontien System, assisting the government in resettling refugees and rebuilding the local industrial system.
Once the reconstruction work was on track, Dante met again with the boy who had gone to Baal for help—Gimnion Sigari.
"This galaxy belongs to the Sigari House once again, Governor Jimingni."
As the last descendant of the Sigari House
Jimingni naturally inherited the rule of the entire galaxy.
"Thank you for your help." Gimnion bowed to Dante, overjoyed that his homeland was free from those twisted Xenos.
"Thank the Emperor, the Living Saint, and the Primarch. I am merely a person who follows orders."
Dante spoke calmly, showing no desire to take credit.
"Remember your promise: bring happiness to the people of this galaxy's Imperium and ensure they live good lives."
"I don't want to return here one day to settle scores with the Sigari House."
Ji Mingni clenched his fist and placed it on his heart.
"I swear on my life, Lord Dante. The Sigari House will resolutely advance the Living Saint's reform policies."
"The Sigari House will burn themselves to light the way forward for the people of the Imperium."
"..."
I declined Governor Jimmy's invitation to dinner.
After waving goodbye to the enthusiastic people they had saved,
Dante and his Blood Angels set off to return to the Imperial Glory.
Apart from those who were to remain in the Rontien System, the others returned to their orbiting warships to prepare for departure.
Once everything was ready, Dante led the Sanguinary Guard into the bridge.
"Lord Dante."
Admiral Shar Atat, the captain of the ship, rose and saluted Dante.
Having experienced so many battles, Xia has been promoted from brigadier general to admiral, and the next step would be marshal, who can command large-scale fleets.
"Set sail," Dante said.
Where are we going?
Xia returned to the captain's seat.
" In the Kamas System, we need to verify whether the news of the First Primarch's return is true," Dante said.
"As you wish, my lord." Xia nodded, then gave the order to set sail.
The engines of the Imperial Glory suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the ground and leading the people to mistakenly believe that a new sun had been born.
The thrust released by the massive engine is astonishing.
The massive ship was propelled out of near-Earth orbit and toward Mandeville Point.
Other warships also started their engines and followed closely behind, forming a large fleet around the Imperial Glory.
The fleet traversed the frigid Void, finally arriving at Mandeville Point.
The Imperial Glory was like a sharp scalpel, cutting through the Veil between reality and the Warp, leading the fleet into the Warp.
The orbit of the Kamas Planet
Inside a warship whose bow is decorated with the Imperial Aquila.
The white-haired Lion El'Jonson paced back and forth on the bridge platform, his face filled with sorrow.
Still no news?
Lion El'Jonson stopped and turned to ask a mortal supervisor not far away.
"Sir, we haven't received any useful astral messages." The mortal supervisor shook his head, looking dejected.
"Keep an eye on it and let me know as soon as there are any new developments."
"Clear."
Lion El'Jonson continued pacing, his worry growing ever more pronounced.
I sent the psychic message some time ago, but I haven't received a reply yet.
"Father, has the Imperium already been destroyed?"
"Father, what is the point of you asking me to come back?"
"Why me? Why not someone else?"
A jumble of thoughts raced through Lion El'Jonson's mind.
He couldn't understand the current state of the Imperium.
He didn't even know how he ended up in the world of Kamas.
He remembered walking through a misty Forest and seeing a fisherman who spoke strangely.
After talking to the other party, he wanted to leave, and inexplicably ended up on the Kamas Planet.
In this world, he found some of the fallen Sons of the Angel.
At first, these offspring did not trust him. Their first reaction upon seeing him was to pull out a gun to shoot him, and they mocked him for being an old man, showing him no respect whatsoever for the Primarch.
After all, the Battle of Caliban was a mess.
Lion El'Jonson, believing that his offspring left behind on their home planet had been corrupted by Chaos, immediately ordered a bombing raid on Caliban.
The offspring left behind on their home planet were completely unaware of Luther's betrayal.
They knew that as soon as the Lion returned, it would launch an orbital bombardment against them.
At that time, Caliban had many Terra- origin Dark Angels.
These people are very loyal to the Emperor.
They believed that the Lion had betrayed the Emperor and was trying to kill them.
After much effort, Lion El'Jonson regained the trust of his sons and had them swear allegiance to him once again.
During this time, Lion El'Jonson also destroyed a Chaos Warband composed of his corrupt offspring.
After resolving all the troubles and gaining control of the Kamas Planet,
The Lion immediately ordered the Astropaths to receive and send messages, summoning the Imperial Army.
However, the situation was too bad.
The entire Milky Way was Rend, Warp Storm raged, and cries for help were heard everywhere.
The desperate screams of the Imperium's citizens echoed throughout the Warp.
"My lord, perhaps you should take a rest."
Zabriel, clad in tattered armor, offered his advice.
He is one of the Fallen Angels who returned to the Lion's command.
His armor was worn out due to years of neglect.
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Lion El'Jonson tried to calm himself down.
"Sir, something unusual has been detected!" shouted the divination supervisor in charge of the Auspex.
"Multiple Warp tracks indicate that a fleet is heading towards the Kamas system."
"Is it Xenos? Or another Chaos force?"
Lion El'Jonson grabbed his weapon, his face grave.
Zabriel and other warriors quickly entered combat mode, preparing to engage the enemy.
"It's an Imperial Fleet! My God, how come their flagship is so big?" The fortune teller looked surprised.
"Give me a visual image."
As Lion El'Jonson spoke, he walked to the control panel.
The projection device was activated, forming a screen in front of him.
It shows a large fleet.
Every warship in the fleet is decorated with Double-Headed Eagle.
The Lion set its sights on the giant ship at the very front of the fleet.
This ship is smaller than the Mountain Array Ship, but much more extravagant than the Gloriana-class Battleship, with a length of over forty kilometers.
"Who owns such a massive ship?" Lion El'Jonson frowned, raising his voice. "Does this ship have an identification code?"
"It's read as Glory of the Imperium, my lord," the Divination Master reported. "They sent us a message claiming to be the Sons of Baal, and they're asking us to provide biometric verification."
"The Blood Angels?" Lion El'Jonson's pupils dilated slightly. This was the offspring of his most beloved brother.
"Tell them that I am the Lord of the First Legion, the Primarch of the Dark Angels, Lion El'Jonson Johnson."
Lion El'Jonson felt a little uneasy.
If the Sons of Baal do not accept his explanation, they may open fire on him.
Given the size of the enemy fleet, they had absolutely no chance of winning.
The worst thing didn't happen.
The massive fleet did not fire.
Instead, they shut down the weapons systems.
"They want to talk to us, and they specifically asked to see you." The fortune teller looked at Lion El'Jonson.
"Agree to them," Lion El'Jonson said.
Several transport ships passed through the Void ion field that prevented air leakage and entered the warship's hangar.
With the hissing sound of high-pressure gas,
The heavy hatch slowly opened.
A warrior clad in blood-red armor with metal wings on his back stepped out, eliciting surprise from the group of Fallen Angels.
The armor of these Blood Angels is a bit off; it doesn't match the Imperium's style at all.
Several Fallen Angels exchanged glances and secretly gave the order to prepare for battle.
They were worried that there was something wrong with these Blood Angels.
After the Blood Angels emerged and formed a ceremonial procession,
A warrior clad in magnificent golden armor stepped out of the transport ship.
The warrior wore a golden mask that mimicked the angry and sorrowful expression of Sanguinius, and had a pair of metal wings that could extend freely on his back.
Lion El'Jonson paused for a moment, then angrily demanded an answer.
"Who are you? How dare you offend my brother's face?"
Wings, the familiar Crying Mask.
The appearance of these things reminded Lion El'Jonson of Sanguinius, causing him an indescribable pain.
Why, why wasn't it me who died, but Sanguinius?
Of course, it would be acceptable if Guilliman died.
After Lion El'Jonson awoke, he learned from Zabriel that Guilliman had torn his Dark Angels to pieces.
The Dark Angels, who once commanded hundreds of thousands of warriors, now have only a thousand left to guard the Rock built from the fragments of Caliban.
This made Lion El'Jonson regret that he should have beaten that guy up back in Macragge to teach him a lesson.
Lion El'Jonson's anger put the Blood Angels on high alert.
They all raised their weapons.
Zabriel and the Fallen Angels also picked up their Bolter, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Do not show hostility towards the Primarch."
Dante ordered the warriors to disarm, reached out and removed his mask, and bowed to Lion El'Jonson.
"Greetings, Lion El'Jonson Johnson, Lord of the Dark Angels, son of the Emperor."
"I am Dante, the commander of the Blood Angels."
Lion El'Jonson stared at Dante's face and could see the shadow of Sanguinius.
"Put down your weapons, Zabriel."
At this moment, several more transport ships entered the hangar.
As soon as the hatch opened, a group of armored warriors poured out.
When they saw the Dark Angels led by the Lion, they immediately began to shout and yell.
"Is this the Lion?"
"How old he is! The Lion has finally grown old!!"
"I wonder what kind of mission he'll assign us!!"
"Awoo, hurry up and get Russ over here, I can't wait to see the cat and dog fight."
"..."
Lion El'Jonson frowned, somewhat annoyed by these rude fellows.
Zabriel and the other Fallen Angels scrutinized the warriors.
He frowned as he saw these guys wearing all sorts of mismatched armors sprayed with various strange runes.
Dante's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened.
Damn it, I left in such a hurry that I forgot to give these God Chosen a mission to teach them a lesson!
P. S.: Another chapter. Thank you all for your support.
Meow, here's a picture of a big cat.
