Olympia Will Never Fall
The Olympia Galaxy.
A complex Iron Fleet is on high alert, its complexity stemming primarily from the sheer variety of its vessels.
There's the leading Thousand Sons fleet, the various ships of the Iron Warriors, the lemon warships of the Imperial Fists, and you can even see a group of Space Dwarf huddled together with the Imperial ships.
The reason for this spectacle can be attributed to the group of dwarfs huddled in the corner.
"The Khan, it's all your fault, you idiot! If you hadn't stopped me from taking the Ancestral Core, the Orks wouldn't have been lured here."
This the Khan is not that the Khan; he is not Mordred's first Batuulu, but a Space Dwarf with a thick beard.
Seeing Magnus shift the blame onto him, the short-statured old man wasn't going to tolerate it. He immediately jumped onto the head of a Dreadnought machine and started ranting:
"How dare you speak like a human being? That's my ancestor! You red-skinned, one-eyed Ogryn, how dare you talk like that? If you hadn't stolen the Ancestral Core, How Could the Orks have been attracted here?"
"Now look what's happened. Our newly chosen clan homeworld is completely destroyed, and your world has been conquered by the Orks as well."
It is unreasonable for a son to curse his father. Seeing that this damned dwarf dared to curse his own father, the group of Thousand Sons immediately swung their wrists and surrounded him. They would be doing a disservice to all the eggs and powder they had eaten if they didn't beat him until he shit himself.
"What? You mutants want to fight me? Bah! Don't forget that it was our Warsong Clan who helped you evacuate the Civilians. You're kicking us while we're down. We are the true humans."
Seeing that this group of people was about to start fighting again, Danteok and Sigismund, who had gathered together, were at a loss. According to Imperial tradition, if Space Dwarf died, he was dead. But what could they do when their ship was full of Imperial Civilians?
"Stop fighting. Instead, think about how to get these Civilians away. The entire galaxy is filled with the Psychic Power roars of the Orks; we can't even enter Warp Voyage."
It's unfortunate, really. Ever since Imperial Fists supported Thousand Sons, the two sides have started to escalate their rivalry. There was no deep-seated hatred between them to begin with, and after flexing their muscles, they found that neither could really defeat the other.
But to everyone's surprise, a group of Orks suddenly emerged from the Warp. Staring at each other in disbelief, the humans and dwarves instantly formed an alliance and began to brutally beat the Xenos.
However, what no one knew was that this Orks was just the vanguard; a powerful Ork Empire called Ulano was stirring in the dark side of the galaxy.
It's like disturbing the Orks' lair; the Orks are endless. If these Xenos were allowed to flood into the heart of the Empire, it would inevitably cause devastating losses, and the Leagues of Votann in the Galactic Core would be the first to perish.
Magnus and the Khan, both possessing extraordinary wisdom, decided that their only option was to lead the beast horde to break through into the vast, desolate Extreme Sector, while also seeking help from Olympia.
Now things are really messed up. The Iron Warriors' inner guard was already weakened due to the heavy losses in the battle with the Hrud, and the main force was taken to the T'au Star Sector by Perturabo, leaving only one large camp in Olympia.
Upon witnessing the raging Green Tide unleashed by Magnus, the newly promoted battalion commander Danteok was stunned. He'd barely escaped with his life, the Hrud had sent him to guard the house, and now they were putting him in such a high-intensity situation right off the bat?
In just seven days, the entire Olympia was covered with the corpses of the Orks. Danteok, the youngest stonemason, held out against the 3 billion Orks for a full seven days, which gave the Civilians the opportunity to move around and send out distress signals.
The result was the fall of Olympia, and the Allied Forces were forced to defend the Forge World of Khala. They had no way to escape; the area was filled with Orks scrap ships, and the entire airspace was locked down by the Orks' gravity technology.
The thought of his mother returning home to find their home planet gone sent chills down Danteok's spine. He knew he'd be fired by the Eleventh Division if he went back—and he'd only been a battalion commander for less than six months!
However, compared to being forced into early retirement, Danteok felt he might not live to see his mother return.
"Waaaagh!!! There's Canned One shrimp here! We're going to beat up the biggest red-skinned boss! Big red-skinned bastard, come out here!"
A massive, Heavy Nob, even thicker than the Dreadnought and estimated to be at least 7 meters tall, ravaged the battlefield. Its Waaagh Energy spread out in all directions, causing electromagnetic armor-piercing bullets that should have pierced the Xenos to be blown away by the armored bullets made entirely of scrap.
This extremely abstract scene made the Mechanicus question, "Is this right? This is an electromagnetic cannon that can destroy main battle tanks. By Omnissiah's standards, physics doesn't exist."
Relying on the Planetary Void Shield array that Forge World, the Allied Forces had been on the run for many days, could finally catch their breath. The orbital air combat had become a complete mess, but with the My Thinking Power Orks, there were always some that slipped through the net and entered the ground battlefield.
The giant Orks in the scope of the gun was only three meters tall half a month ago, but it has mutated into this form in just a few days.
"This is unbelievable! Let me see if the Atlas Joke Book records any weaknesses of this Xenos."
Danteok, cramming at the last minute, was frantically flipping through a "Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Xenos That Even Ogryn Could Understand," but before he could find the page, a little dwarf pressed the book down on him:
"Stop looking. Those Orks the Beast only have one weakness: kill their leader. Only by killing their leader will the Orks' morale collapse."
The speaker was none other than Chieftain the Khan of the dwarves. As a genuine mining goblin, the greatest threat to the Space Dwarf was the Orks, and only the Orks could withstand the extreme environment of the Dead Zone.
"Big guy, we have to kill this the Beast."
"I know without you saying it, Sigismund and Danteok, you organize the remaining troops to defend the fortress and provide us with fire support."
Which legion is closest to us?
"Your Highness, it's Ultramarines!"
"Alright, then send a telegram to the Ultramarines, ordering Guilliman to come and provide support immediately. The Dream Guard will accompany me on a surprise attack to decapitate this place. This is the Last Stronghold of the Olympia system. I don't care about casualty figures; I only want Inkaration."
"Receive!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a squad of giants wearing specially made Ironclad Terminator Armor withdrew from the battle line. Snapping Psychic Power lightning crackled across their bodies. These guards, nearly three and a half meters tall when armored, were all powerful legion warriors who had mastered Psyker Rotation, and their weapons were incomparably ferocious giant Power Axe.
All my enemies are but dust!
Strands of white frost appeared, and with their powerful Psychic Power properties, a hundred Terminator vanished instantly, only to suddenly reappear among the beast horde.
The moment the tallest of them, the Crimson King, appeared, it attracted the attention of all the Orks:
"Waaaagh, what a powerful red leather!"
Magnus, wielding two Power Axe, charged left and right, ignoring the minions blocking his path, his target solely the Ork Warboss:
"I am Magnus, the Crimson King! Xenos, die!"
"Olympia will never fall!"
"Waaaagh!!!"
Accompanying the Thousand Sons' distress signal was a beast tide that swept across the entire empire. Countless Orks, aided by their fantastical gravitational technology, surged forth from the Galactic Core, their target the Sol Sector.
The Blood Angels, Salamanders, Moon Wolves, Atlas —all four legions—discovered the sudden appearance of Orks.
Even the outer reaches of the newly discovered Chogoris System have produced unusual gravitational responses.
Seeing the distress call before him, Guilliman didn't hesitate; 170,000 Ultramarines were mobilized.
"Magnus, hang in there, your Thirteenth Brother is coming to rescue you."
