Battle of Vigilant Star

With the influx of new players, Planet Automata is experiencing another surge in popularity.

Countless people cheered for the arrival of these God Chosen, and even held a small celebration.

The God Chosen is the Emperor's messenger, His sword, and the shield He forged for humanity.

As long as these God Chosen exist, humanity has hope.

Players were excited to be able to enter Warhammer Online, and they kept shouting and yelling.

At this moment, Xi Ling's projection appeared inside the temple.

Faced with a dense crowd of players, the beginner's storyline begins.

"The Emperor's cheap currency... Cadia... The Despoiler..."

After completing the tutorial, her figure flickered and disappeared.

Following this, various player organizations stepped in to recruit new players and expand their own forces.

As the war progresses, the demand for new players from various organizations is increasing day by day.

"There are so many new people this time."

As the recruitment manager of the MC Dynasty, MC Epic looked at the densely packed crowd and showed an expression of amazement.

"With so many people making reservations now, hiring more people is a good thing, so that so many people won't have to wait."

"Let's get to work. Those bastards from the Agricultural Academy have set up their roasted Mushroom again."

"We'll give you a mech as soon as you come in, no need to say anything else."

"..."

The benefits and perks offered to newcomers by various organizations are also top-notch.

The MC Dynasty immediately gave away 500 large Zerg units and a set of bio-armor upon entering the game.

Such a gift pack is enough to fight a small-scale skirmish.

Dora Workshop is even more outrageous.

They're giving away mechs, drones, weapons and ammunition, and even a batch of armed Servitor.

Its main selling point is its extravagance.

But they can afford to send it.

Currently, Dora Workshop has contracted industrial production in multiple star sectors and controls many resource-rich planets.

Their massive size generated huge profits, allowing them to spend lavishly on recruiting talent.

Meanwhile, Dora Workshop has also launched several Megastructure projects.

The Castigator Titans, the Dyson Sphere, and other projects have been put on the agenda.

On the Megastructure project, Dora Workshop and MC Dynasty, two rare collaborations, have reached an agreement in order to accelerate the Megastructure's implementation.

Now, all the technical challenges have been overcome, and only construction remains.

Before long, those Megastructure with exaggerated dimensions will be built like dumplings being dumpled together.

To advance these projects, both companies need the most new players.

Some key positions can only be filled by players.

Firstly, it was to prevent the corruption of the Chaos Gods.

Secondly, it was also to ensure that traitors would not cause sabotage.

The local natives are unable to resist the corruption of the evil god, and there may even be deeply hidden traitors.

If they sabotage it, the Megastructure- project is very likely to go bankrupt.

Even for a project of the scale of the MC Dynasty and Dora Workshop, the enormous amount of money required for such a Megastructure- project is an extremely staggering sum.

"Immediately arrange for guards to guide these God Chosen."

"Didn't the Inquisition report some tasks related to the Seven Great Daemons? Let these new God Chosen do them."

"..."

The influx of a large number of God Chosen poses a severe test to the security of the Planet Automata.

However, Feng and other high-ranking officials were already very familiar with this situation.

He quickly ordered everyone to make arrangements and settle these God Chosen in.

"Charge for the Emperor!"

"For a happy and beautiful Imperium, brothers."

"For the sake of the beautiful Succubus."

"..."

The new players, full of enthusiasm, embarked on their journey to conquer the Milky Way, shouting various slogans.

Prepare to punish the traitors and Xenos in the name of the Emperor.

On the Commorragh side,

Qin Yun also convened a meeting to discuss the Nachmund Gauntlet.

The Webway connecting the Imperium Sanctus and the Dark Side has now been repaired.

The next main task is to resurrect Sanguinius.

Thanks to Xi Ling's efforts, Lion El'Jonson, Guilliman, the incarnation of the Laughing God, and Eldrad, the Aeldari Farseer, all participated in the meeting.

Even Trazyn, a great collector, participated in the meeting.

His appearance displeased the Laughing God incarnate, Eldrad, and the Aeldari.

But Qin Yun mediated, managing to get the two opposing groups to sit down at a table and discuss their next plans.

"Magnus, Lorgar, and Fulgrim have all made new moves. They formed an alliance on Sorcerer's World and then seized control of the Black Legion from Abaddon. They are clearly planning to start another Horus Heresy."

Eldrad spoke first, announcing some major news to everyone.

"You mean those three traitors have joined forces?" Guilliman's projection sat beside the strategic control console, his voice deep.

Eldrad nodded. "Yes, this is the answer we obtained through the Dance of Foresight. We also listened to the voice of the Immaterium and confirmed this information."

After listening to the Aeldari Farseer's words, Lion El'Jonson stroked his chin with a solemn expression, deep in thought.

"This is not a good situation to handle. The three of them working together are definitely formidable opponents."

"If we are not careful, we could lose everything."

If it were the old Lion El'Jonson, he would definitely have expressed disdain.

But after slumbering for millennia, he had clearly become more mature.

She has completely lost her former personality.

"Any news about Angron, Mortarion, and Perturabo?"

Sanguinius, enveloped in radiance, spoke, his expression also showing concern.

If these three Primarch also Magnus the alliance of Magnus, Lorgar, Fulgrim, and others, then this battle will be very difficult.

In the end, it will definitely turn into another Siege of Terra.

The Chaos Gods will definitely send out their minions to wear down humanity.

Especially Perturabo, that guy possesses outstanding mechanical and siege talents.

He was the one who spearheaded the Siege of Terra from the very beginning.

Even Horus, who had witnessed his duel with Dorn, dared not say he could have done better.

Otherwise, in the later stages of the Siege of Terra, Horus relied on the power of the Chaos Gods to overwhelm the Imperium defenders' lines with an endless stream of demons.

Perturabo felt that Horus's use of the Chaos Gods was a trampling of his talents and beliefs, so he left the Terra battlefield with the Iron Warriors.

Before leaving, he gave Horus a good scolding.

In fact, Perturabo always believed that the Siege of Terra was a war between humans, and that the gods had no right to interfere.

The gods can offer assistance, but they are not qualified to dictate the fate of humankind.

Even if Horus defeats the Emperor, the fate of humanity should be decided by the victorious Primarch.

Unfortunately, Horus ignored his thoughts.

The two sides eventually parted ways.

Horus did not try to stop him, after all, Perturabo's value lay in opening a breach in the Imperial Palace and providing enough bloodshed for the minions of the Chaos Gods to descend.

But Perturabo's talent cannot be denied.

Legend has it that he built countless steel cities within the Eye of Terror.

If he joins Magnus's alliance, the Imperium of Man's military advantage will be leveled, which would be extremely disadvantageous for the Imperium.

"There's no news yet," Eldrad said. "They may have other plans."

"If it's just the three of them, that's still good news," Lion El'Jonson nodded.

"Magnus and his two companions seized command of Abaddon, undoubtedly intending to use the Black Legion to fight against us."

"Now, we need to figure out where they're going to make the battlefield?"

"Nachmund Gauntlet." Qin Yun waved his hand to activate the projection, which displayed a star map of the Milky Way. "If they were to choose a battlefield, Terra would be their first choice, and Nachmund Gauntlet would be their second."

"Terra is the heart of the Imperium, the residence of the Emperor. To conquer Terra is tantamount to declaring the Imperium's Destruction."

"But with Guilliman's Indomitus Crusade, many of the Warp nodes leading to Terra have been recaptured."

"If they want to launch an attack on Terra, they will be committing suicide. The Imperium's powerful military will trap them in a quagmire from which they will have difficulty escaping."

"If they can't attack Terra, they'll definitely settle for second best and try to weaken the Imperium through war first, while hunting down the still loyal Primarch. Nachmund Gauntlet is the best target."

"The Nachmund Gauntlet is the throat of the Imperium, the only route for the Imperial Navy, Rogue Trader, and cargo fleets. Once this place is cut off, Terra's connection with the Imperium Nihilus will be severed."

Just as Qin Yun was explaining why the Daemon Primarch would launch an attack on Nachmund Gauntlet,

Xi Ling appeared beside Qin Yun and gave him a message from the Vigilant Star.

After reading it, Qin Yun frowned slightly, then smiled and shared the information with the others.

"Breaking news: the Black Legion's warbands have received orders to proceed to Vigilant Star to prepare for a large-scale battle."

"It seems I guessed right. Magnus and the others have their eyes on the Nachmund Gauntlet."

"I will set off for Vigilant Star immediately," Lion El'Jonson said. "I will not allow them any chance to set foot on the planet's surface."

"The Vigilant Star is protected by several fleets. If Lion El'Jonson is added to the fleet, it will be impregnable." Guilliman nodded, agreeing that Lion El'Jonson should set off to provide support immediately.

"No." Qin Yun shook his head. "If it weren't for the Webway, the Vigilant Star would be the lifeblood of the Imperium, and we would naturally protect it with all our might. But now we are not without a choice."

"You're going to give up Vigilant Star?" Guilliman looked at Qin Yun with a puzzled expression. "Even with the Webway, giving up Vigilant Star is a very foolish decision."

"After destroying the Nachmund Gauntlet, Magnus and his allies will also launch an attack on the Webway, igniting a new round of War of the Webway. If we lose the Webway as well, what will become of us?"

"Only with a large enough bait can we lure the Vengeful Spirit out," Qin Yun said. "Abaddon is a very cautious man. No matter which side gains an overwhelming advantage, he and the Vengeful Spirit will not appear."

"If we want to truly resurrect Sanguinius, we must collect enough soul fragments. We have no chance of getting the fragments that have fallen into the hands of the gods at this stage. The soul fragments on the Vengeful Spirit are our only chance."

"We need to engage in a tug-of-war between the Vigilant Star and the forces of Chaos, and then seize the Vengeful Spirit at all costs to reclaim the Soul Fragment of Sanguinius."

"This is no simple matter," said the avatar of the Laughing God. "Those Daemon Primarch, after ascending to demonhood, possess power that is no less than that of the gods."

Even if Cegorach didn't want to admit it, the Daemon Primarch like Lorgar already possessed the ability to fight against him, a lesser god.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Primarch created by the Emperor should have been gods in the human Pantheon.

Even if his true form were to face those Daemon Primarch, he wouldn't dare guarantee a victory.

"Nothing is ever easy," Qin Yun said. "Sooner or later we will have to face these Daemon Primarch and the Chaos Gods who support them."

"We must do our best to revive and find those lost Imperium heroes, thereby strengthening our forces."

"Well said." Trazyn clapped his metal hands, making a crisp, clear sound. "They're just gods, nothing special."

"We Necrontyr have challenged the gods and emerged victorious."

"What you're doing is opportunism," the Laughing God incarnate said disdainfully.

"Regardless, we won. Unlike some races, we were utterly crushed by the so-called Prince of Pleasure." Trazyn's metallic mouth sounded as if it were coated with poison.

A few words almost broke the guard of many Aeldari participants at the meeting.

The words this guy says are like knives, specifically designed to stab people in the heart.

"Enough, now is not the time to discuss the feud between your two clans." Qin Yun stopped their argument before things got worse.

"Now, we're discussing how to engage the forces of Chaos, getting them to continuously deploy troops to Vigilant Star, thereby drawing out the Vengeful Spirit."

Faced with Qin Yun's assertive attitude, the Laughing God incarnation and Trazyn glared at each other before turning their heads away and ignoring each other.

"I will personally oversee the Vigilant Star," Lion El'Jonson said. "I will control the pace, give them hope, and thus continuously increase the troop deployment, but always leave them just short."

"Are you confident?" Qin Yun looked at Lion El'Jonson, somewhat uneasy.

"If you're still worried, you can assign me some more God Chosen. I must say, they're practically perfect tools," Lion El'Jonson chuckled.

"I will. When the time comes, you will build a Beacon on Vigilant Star, and I will have the God Chosen support you at any time," Qin Yun said.

"With the help of the God Chosen, I am absolutely confident," Lion El'Jonson said with utmost confidence.

"Then I'll leave it to you," Qin Yun said. "I'll be there to support you whenever needed."

"And what about me?" Guilliman asked. "Shouldn't I participate in such an important battle?"

"Of course you should participate. The Nachmund Gauntlet is divided into multiple human worlds," Qin Yun said. "These worlds are inhabited by a large number of humans. Once the Vigilant Star falls, the Nachmund Gauntlet will collapse, and the Chaos Tide will engulf everything."

"These innocent people must be rescued from the Abyss, and only a Primarch with exceptional wisdom and leadership can accomplish this task."
