Euten

Since you value me so much, then I'll gladly accept this task.

"Don't worry, I will take charge of the sorting out and will never allow the citizens of the Imperium in the various worlds of the Nachmund Gauntlet to suffer undeserved disasters."

Guilliman smiled, clearly pleased with Qin Yun's praise.

"Living Saint, what about my mission?" Sanguinius asked.

Although the Archangel is now only a remnant soul, his strategy and strength far surpass those of ordinary warriors.

"As for you, have Dante take your body to Vigilant Star and prepare for your resurrection. Even if you can't be resurrected, as long as you can retrieve your soul, you should be reunited immediately."

"Whether you use the power of Ynnead or seek the might of the Emperor, you need a physical body. If possible, you can be resurrected directly on Vigilant Star without having to rush back to Baal."

"I will persuade the Chapter Master," Mephiston said, standing to the side.

"That's good. We'll talk about the rest after you're resurrected," Qin Yun said to Sanguinius.

After assigning tasks to the three Primarch of the Imperium of Man on the Vigilant Star battlefield...

Qin Yun turned to look at the incarnation of the Laughing God and Eldrad.

"The protection of the Webway still requires the help of the Aeldari."

"Magnus possesses the most Primarch of the Warp, and during the Siege of Terra, he launched multiple attacks on the Emperor within the Webway, preventing the Emperor from protecting Terra and allowing the Daedric Lords to successfully land."

In the early stages of the Siege of Terra, demons were unable to enter the Realspace because the Emperor used his power to hold back and suppress the Warp gods.

It wasn't until Typhus used the plague to breach the defenses, coupled with Magnus's constant attacks on the Emperor from behind, that the Warp defenses collapsed, allowing demons to descend upon the Realspace on a massive scale.

Lord of Drakes — Vulkan— was ordered to enter the Webway, where he clashed with Magnus.

Vulkan was repeatedly tortured and killed by Magnus, but in the end, he fought back with his tenacious willpower and Perpetuals, protecting the Emperor.

After that battle, Malcador was heartbroken to see the devastation in Vulkan.

His entire body was burned beyond recognition; not a single inch of flesh was intact. He had been burned to a crisp.

With each step taken towards Terra, charred flesh and blood would fall off in a gruesome manner, a truly desolate sight.

"Although the Nachmund Gauntlet is very tempting, Magnus is able to use the demons of the Warp to obtain intelligence, so it is very likely that he already knows about our secret repair of the Webway."

Qin Yun waved his hand, and the projection in front of everyone changed again, displaying an intricate Webway.

"We need to make two preparations. First, we must keep a close eye on the Vigilant Star campaign, luring the Chaos forces to commit more troops and drawing out the Vengeful Spirit."

"Second, defend the Webway and strengthen defenses at all key nodes to prevent Magnus from using any underhanded tactics."

"If we're talking about the Webway, the Aeldari are the most familiar with it. The task of protecting the Webway is entrusted to you."

"The Webway is also the foundation of the Aeldari. Protecting the Webway is also protecting yourselves."

The Aeldari remained silent, instead looking at the avatar of the Laughing God, awaiting his decision.

After waiting for a while, the incarnation of the Laughing God finally spoke.

"We will help you defend the Webway, but we need to gain command of the Imperium forces. The Aeldari are already very few in number and cannot afford any further losses."

"So you mean humans can withstand the drain?" Trazyn suddenly interjected.

Qin Yun almost wanted to give this guy a thumbs up.

This villain is just too perfect.

He said everything he wanted to say.

Qin Yun finally understood why so-called leaders liked subordinates with high emotional intelligence; it was mainly because they could help resolve some issues that were difficult to bring up.

"This is none of your business." Eldrad was not in a good mood when he saw Trazyn, who looked like a metal skull.

The two races were originally enemies, and if it weren't for Chaos's rise to power and the intervention of Living Saint, they might have even started fighting again!

"I am an advisor to the Imperium." Trazyn's oily green eyes glanced at the High Farseer, his metallic face displaying a human-like disdain.

"Do you know what an advisor is? What you can't say, I can say. What you can't criticize, I can criticize. I'm chosen by Living Saint, so you'll have to keep quiet even if you disagree."

"You..." Eldrad's face turned bright red.

"Alright, Trazyn." Qin Yun stopped the situation from escalating further, then looked at the Laughing God avatar, "It's too much to ask that you take command of the Imperial Army."

"But I can appoint you as Imperial Army. You only need to help make suggestions and formulate plans. Your clan will not need to fight."

"That's fine too." The incarnation of the Laughing God seemed unsurprised by Qin Yun's decision and readily accepted it.

The so-called acquisition of command authority is most likely just a price thrown out arbitrarily to make it easier for Qin Yun to bargain.

Just because Cegorach appears as Joker all the time doesn't mean they are actually Joker.

As an existence capable of scheming against the Chaos God

Cegorach likely still wields considerable power over schemes and conspiracies.

Anyone who thinks he's the Joker will pay a heavy price.

"Now that the entire battle has been planned, are there any other questions?" Qin Yun looked around at everyone.

No one uttered a sound; everyone remained silent.

"In that case, let's proceed according to plan."

Qin Yun adjourned the meeting, and everyone dispersed.

The Rock,

Azrael stood aside and watched the entire interstellar war conference.

He was somewhat dissatisfied after the communication was closed.

"As the Emperor's own son and the First Primarch, you should be the one presiding over this meeting. Why is it being presided over by Living Saint?"

Even if something were to happen to the Emperor, the Lion, as the First Primarch, would still be the most rightful successor.

Azrael does not deny that the Living Saint made outstanding contributions.

But these things should be made clear beforehand.

Otherwise, a new civil war could very likely break out.

The Fallen Angels, including Zabriel, and the high-ranking Dark Angels, including Ezekiel, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Azrael's words have seriously crossed the line.

They didn't dare to respond, standing silently to the side, waiting for the Lion to answer the Grand Master.

Lion El'Jonson stared at Azrael with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to dissect the flesh and soul of this audacious offspring.

Azrael felt somewhat uneasy under the gaze.

He realized he had said something very foolish.

But he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

During the Great Crusade, many things were not explained clearly, which led to the Horus Heresy.

If we try to cover things up now, it will only lead to a new civil war when the conflict finally erupts.

"The Living Saint is the incarnation of my father, and if possible, he will also be the most legitimate second emperor of the Imperium."

Lion El'Jonson's words made Azrael's eyes widen.

The Lion actually acknowledged the other party's right to succession.

"This is unreasonable," Azrael said.

"The burden of the Imperium is too heavy. In the past, I would have thought I was more than capable of being a ruler. But now, I feel that I am not suitable to be a ruler at all."

Lion El'Jonson spoke calmly; if it were the old Ryan, Azrael would probably have been beaten to a pulp long ago.

But now, he doesn't intend to teach his son a lesson with his fists; instead, he intends to reason with him.

"We made a mess of things, Horus Heresy is the best proof of that. My father was the biggest instigator of the Horus Heresy, and we were the instigators."

"We Primarch are not noble; we crave power and vanity and fight for them constantly. This is why Horus felt pressured—pressure from his Primarch brothers and the Emperor led him astray."

"After becoming the Warmaster, Horus dared not overturn any decision he made, because if he was wrong, he would be questioned, his authority would be shaken, and we would all attack him."

"Horus was isolated and helpless, which is why the Chaos Gods were able to tear through his defenses so easily."

"This time, we are truly fighting for humanity, not for honor and power."

The Lion gazed at Azrael. "Therefore, I will not contend with the Living Saint for dominion. He is doing just fine now, and there is no need to make any changes."

"Let's not bring this up again. Our most important task now is to set sail and head to the Vigilant Star."

"A new great battle awaits us."

Commorragh,

Inside a newly built temple of the Aeldari,

The Laughing God incarnate, Eldrad and other Aeldari are currently residing here.

This is their private territory; humans won't come here.

Therefore, no matter what is discussed, no human being will know.

The Webway projection from the crystal appeared before the Aeldari.

"If this continues, humans will become our biggest henchmen."

Eldrad swipes the projection, "To achieve the Aeldari's revival, we must first destroy the God of Pleasure, and second, rebuild the Webway."

"Now that humanity is unwilling to wage war against the God of Pleasure, we cannot obtain the last Crone Sword to fully awaken Ynnead."

"Without the help of Ynnead, it would be extremely difficult to kill the God of Pleasure."

"Right now, the only option is to focus our main efforts on rebuilding the Webway."

"We should take advantage of this opportunity to reclaim some important node cities and have humanity repair the Webway connecting the various Craftworld."

"Won't humans find out?" Harlequin Shadowseer - Sylandri asked with some concern.

"No," said the incarnation of the Laughing God. "We'll secretly push things forward under the guise of protecting the Webway, mixing truth with falsehood. They won't be able to detect it."

"Moreover, even if he discovers it, that Living Saint won't break ties over such a matter. He knows very well that at this stage, the Imperium needs the Aeldari."

The Vengeful Spirit.

Magnus, Fulgrim, Lorgar are discussing in the Wolf God Council how to attack Vigilant Star.

Abaddon and the other Chaos Warrior stood aside.

He was unwilling to accept this, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Even with the blessings of the gods, he was no match for the three Daemon Primarch.

One day, you will pay a hundredfold for the humiliation you have suffered today.

"That Living Saint has repaired the Webway. Simply destroying the Nachmund Gauntlet is not enough to sever the connection between Terra and the Imperium Nihilus. We must take a two-pronged approach: destroying the Nachmund Gauntlet while launching a new War of the Webway."

Magnus obtained a great deal of intelligence from the demons and was very familiar with the Imperium's movements.

"We don't have enough resources to fight on two fronts," Lorgar said. "It's not too late to destroy the Webway after we've dealt with the Nachmund Gauntlet."

"The three of us are busy, but someone else is," Fulgrim said with a sinister smile. "Isn't Mortarion always free?"

"Mortarion? That's not a good name to call." Lorgar shook his head, indicating his difficulty.

"If we can't get Mortarion to do it, then we'll get the real Chapter Master of the Death Guard — Typhus. He'll probably be happy to sabotage the Webway," Fulgrim said.

Magnus nodded. "Let Ahriman go and make the trip; he'll definitely be able to persuade Typhus."

"Moreover, Ahriman possesses considerable knowledge of the Webway and can guide Typhus into the Webway."

"..."

After discussing the Webway, the three Daemon Primarch turned their attention to Vigilant Star.

The discussion was in full swing,

Several Chaos Sorcerer entered, the one in the lead carrying a transparent crystal ball containing the soul of a woman dressed in a light blue uniform.

The three Daemon Primarch immediately recognized the soul as Guilliman's foster mother, Euten.

There's no way around it, the impression was too deep.

When he first returned, Guilliman would constantly mention Euten, as if he wanted everyone to know that he had a foster mother.

Konrad Curze and Angron once considered dismembering Guilliman because of this incident.

"If Guilliman knew that his foster mother was in our hands, he would go crazy."

"I can't wait."

"Execute the plan immediately, and listen to the desperate roar of our Primarch brother."

"..."

Magnus and the other two Daemon Primarch moved very quickly.

They organized a warband to launch a series of attacks on Vigilant Star, intending to reverse Vigilant Star's Blackstone Force Field and completely destroy the Nachmund Gauntlet.

The Imperium forces on Vigilant Star also launched a swift counterattack, and the two sides engaged in a series of major battles.

At this moment, the Orks' fleet also appeared on the Vigilant Star battlefield and joined the melee without saying a word, making the situation even more chaotic.

As planned, one went to Lion El'Jonson Guilliman to hold off the attack of the Daemon Primarch, while the other was responsible for evacuating the Imperium citizens of the various worlds Vigilant Star Nachmund Gauntlet.

However, plans can never keep up with changes.

As soon as Lion El'Jonson arrived on the Vigilant Star, Astropaths received a metaphorical message that Euten was in the hands of the Lorgar.

This information was quickly reported by Xi Ling to Qin Yun.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing the news, Qin Yun stood up abruptly.

"You're saying that Lorgar used Euten's soul as a sacrifice to instigate a large-scale Chaos ritual?"

"Yes." Xi Ling nodded.

"This matter has become complicated. Assemble the troops immediately. I'm going to the Vigilant Star."

Qin Yun originally intended to remain in Commorragh to oversee the situation.

But upon hearing Xi Ling's report, he immediately became restless.

Guilliman would never allow Euten's soul to suffer in Lorgar's hands.

Even if Lorgar sets up an ambush, Guilliman will not hesitate to rush into it.

P. S.: Another chapter, hope you all enjoy it.
