012. M32,

The War of Extermination: When the 100,000 Orks warlords surged from the Ullanor Core, all the Primarchs knew that the war was far worse than they had anticipated.

The Imperium of Man is not completely ignorant about the Orks, a galactic anomaly; on the contrary, it possesses an extremely rich body of research data on them.

Once the Orks spores take root on the ground, they multiply rapidly and then grow into spores that nurture Orks.

They appear to be all different and varied, including Gretchin, Squigs, and Orks of varying sizes, but in reality, these creatures are all the same thing.

Compared to living, breathing creatures, Orks animals are more like mushrooms; they have no logistical burdens and no need to learn anything.

As long as they fight, they can transform from a backward primitive society into a deathly Green Tide spreading into the starry sky in a very short time, sailing out of scrap ships.

As long as they are not completely killed, the Orks can continue to grow stronger, from a Ork Boy comparable to an ordinary space soldier to Ork Warboss comparable to Space Marine, and eventually even devise a warlord comparable in size to a knight.

Yes, the Orks are such a magical race. When their numbers grow, they can actually come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

If you want to know how strong an Orks is, just look at its size: the bigger it is, the stronger it is! The greener it is, the more powerful it is!

If you see a giant Orks wielding a broken iron pipe coming at you, don't hesitate, that broken iron pipe could definitely pierce through your Terminator Armor.

When he saw the 100,000 colossal Orks before him, even Ferrus, the overall commander of the battle, was trembling with rage:

"100,000 troops? Where the hell did these 100,000 troops come from?"

Faced with such a dense Orks army, Ferrus's first thought was to use Orbital Bombardment, directly pouring Exterminatus into them. As for whether Vulkan could survive, that was no longer important!

But Ferrus was soon taught a lesson.

Faced with the Exterminatus that seemed to fall from the sky, the Ork Ancestor, revered as the Beast, gathered his strength in his dantian, pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth, and rallied his Orks army with a foul Roared.

The Waaaagh Energy, now materialized, went completely berserk, shooting out streams of light like an Emerald Star and summoning two Ork Phantom that clung to the planet.

"Quack, get out of here! -- This is Horus the Second Brother's Kiya."

Two shouts from behind startled everyone. Ferrus turned around and saw that the people shouting were none other than Tom, his former Second Company Captain, and Jerry had fought as a guerrilla in Ulano for nine years.

Why are you yelling so loudly?

"Aren't they just two weird-looking Energy Projection? No matter what, the battle force is 500,000 to 100,000, the advantage lies in... Boom!!!"

Before Ferrus could finish speaking, a violent explosion struck instantly. The Cyclone Torpedo that had just been launched not only failed to work, but were instead thrown back by the two Ork Projection.

After discovering that the Imperial ships, these tiny insects, were shooting at them from a distance, the two Ork Projection, which had grown into the planet, suddenly swung their arms and dragged Ulano towards them as if swimming.

Even more ironically, a curtain of light appeared in the atmosphere above Ulano.

In the scene, countless large Orks men dressed in very little clothing lined up in a long queue. Their lewd eyes and sleazy demeanor clearly indicated that they were the best of the best among the Orks.

Their target was the Salamander Remnants, who were firmly trapped on Ulano. Among them, the most conspicuous was Vulkan had died and come back to life repeatedly, and had lost all will to live in the process.

The most despicable thing was that, in order to prevent these big guys from leaving, all the Salamanders were stripped of their armor and thrown into the sand pit to wait for the Orks big guys to pluck them.

At this moment, everyone finally understood why there were so many Giant Warlord, because they had witnessed a Ork Boy being promoted to the Heavy Nob ranks after repeatedly kicking and shoving Vulkan.

"???"

Orbital Bombardment is useless, Broadside of Ship Cannons is meaningless, and now our good brothers are suffering ultimate humiliation in front of thousands of soldiers.

After exchanging glances, the Primarchs did not hesitate and immediately ordered the warships to change direction and ram into Ulano.

017. M32,

The Great Counteroffensive: This is the largest campaign the Imperium of Man has ever experienced since the Webway War.

Nearly 800,000 Space Marine, along with countless Astra Militarum and Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii, poured into the Sol Sector from all parts of the Imperium.

Since the Orks had already conquered half of Mars, the Adeptus Mechanicus even sent the newly reorganized Fire Wasps and Storm Titan Legion to help them.

The scale of its mobilization was comparable to that of the peak of the Great Crusade.

In order to slay the Beast, six Primarch led the Chapter Flagship to crash into the Ork Homeworld of Ulano.

But before boarding, the long-suffering Fulgrim kicked Guilliman back to Holy Terra, sending the incompetent man to lead part of the fleet to support Rogal Dorn had been holding out until now.

Even so, the Space Marine suffered heavy casualties in the face of the overwhelming Warlords, with a kill ratio of a terrifying four to one, resulting in the complete annihilation of many Chapter.

As the war continued, and in order to crush the Orks more quickly, a large number of Blasphemous Artifact sealed within the Imperial Palace Shadow Prison were put into use under the joint command of the Primarch.

Meanwhile, the Adeptus Mechanicus, one of the Imperial Double Eagles, began to escalate its efforts, deploying a large amount of Dark Age of Technology Legacy to participate in this Beast Wars.

But just as the war was about to escalate and its effects were about to trigger some ancient mechanism, a Giant Celestial Body suddenly appeared around Ulano.

No one knows where this celestial body came from, but with the appearance of this Celestial Weapon of unknown origin, the Ork God Phantom crawling on the planet Ulano vanished instantly, and the Orks were thrown into chaos.

Similarly, all the soldiers of the Imperium of Man felt a strange sense of unease, some Librarian suddenly discovered that they could not communicate with the Warp, and even worse, some Battle Psykers went out of control.

But at this moment, the Empire had no time to spare. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Primarchs chose to go all in and began their final counterattack.

After 17 years of fighting to Terra Defense War, the Imperial Fists was finally able to free up their forces and, together with the Ultramarines, launched a counterattack to attack Ulano.

04.017, M30,

Ullanor Endgame: Despite the suppression from Unknown Celestial Body, this final counterattack did not end quickly.

In order to completely slay the Ork Emperor, the eight Primarchs launched a second boarding maneuver. However, as they overcame numerous obstacles and ventured deep into the Ullanor Core, they encountered a stalemate.

The good news is that the group successfully rescued Vulkan, but the bad news is that, thanks to Vulkan as a cheat code, the Orks regressed to their primal form.

After years of repeated wars, the Ork Emperor, who called himself the Beast, began to regress to his ancestral form and transformed into a Mega-Gargant Ork standing 12 meters tall.

Although he didn't know why, the Primarch could see a kind of wisdom in the Orks's beady eyes that was impossible for Orks to possess.

This bizarre phenomenon sent chills down everyone's spine, and everyone knew that these Orks absolutely could not be allowed to live.

Faced with this giant Orks that had successfully reverted to its ancestral form, even the Primarch dared not attack rashly and could only rely on their numerical advantage to maneuver.

Even so, countless comrades were Massacre by these five monsters with firepower comparable to that of Titan.

A quartet led by Fulgrim, Dorn, Vulkan- Guilliman faces off against the Beast.

In their view, as long as they could hold out until the rest of their brothers joined them, they could crush the monster with their numerical advantage, but they underestimated the Beast's power.

Seeing Guilliman nearly killed by a single blow, Vulkan and Dorn had no choice but to take the hit head-on, releasing part of their Warp essence to allow Fulgrim to launch the main attack.

Even so, the situation did not improve, as the other Primarchs were also tied up, because there were still four Ork Warlord who were only one size smaller than the Beast.

After holding out for nearly an hour, Fulgrim was the first to lose his fighting ability, his body below the neck smashed into a bloody pulp.

Left with no other choice, in order to protect his brother, Vulkan charged directly at the Beast, using his size advantage to drag him into the Ork Reactor Core.

In an instant, countless amounts of enormous energy surged forth, and a massive explosion erupted.

By the time other Primarchs arrived to provide support, they only found Dorn carrying Guilliman and holding the Phoenix Head at the edge of the explosion.

With the Beast dead, before the Imperial forces could even crush the Orks, the Orks broke into internal strife, and the Empire used this opportunity to begin its final purge.

With this, the Second Beast War came to a complete end.

Of the soldiers who participated in the Ullanor Crusade, less than one in ten survived, and the Raven Guard had fewer than a thousand men left.

Fulgrim was placed into the Primarch Dreadnought brought by Corvus Corax, one of only two remaining Dreadnought of the Raven Guard after the Dreadnought on Malcador.

The Vulkan, Lord of Drakes, has disappeared, but the remaining Salamanders firmly believe that their Gene-Father has not perished in battle. They believe that by gathering all of the Lord of Fire' treasures, they can summon their Gene-Father.

030. M32,

The Great Purge: After years of extermination, the Orks that had ravaged the empire disappeared.

Ulano was also signed to drop the Virus Bomb. After the planet was completely ignited by biosols, it was incorporated into the Adeptus Mechanicus, dragged to the vicinity of Alicia, and renamed Armageddon for use as Naval Base World.

But as the Beast Wars came to a complete end, the Celestial Weapon that had suddenly appeared in the Solar System disappeared once again.

In the same year, Inquisitor named Trazyn was sent to investigate, but the matter was ultimately dropped.

Deathwatch Established: Following proposals from several Primarch, the multi- Chapter joint force known as Deathwatch was officially established as the Empire's dedicated combat force against Xenos.

In the same year, Ferrus was crowned the new Warmaster after the Lion King.

To alleviate the unease brought about by the Beast Wars, humans began to worship the Emperor more devoutly, and countless churches sprang up.

025. M32,

The God-Emperor Assassination: A group of tall, hooded warriors calling themselves Fallen Angels secretly infiltrated Holy Terra and engaged in a fierce battle with the Adeptus Custodes within the Imperial Palace.

This matter was classified as Imperial Secret by the Ecclesiarch, Luojia.

Three months later, Terra was attacked again, but this time it wasn't the Fallen Angels who came, but a group of Hydra, and their target wasn't the Emperor, but Luojia.

In the same year, Alpharius and his Hydra Legion disappeared completely.

029. M31,

The God-Emperor Manifestation: The Adeptus Custodes, the Mouthpiece of the Master of Mankind, reveals that the Emperor, who was previously dormant, has finally shown signs of awakening.

Grand Pontiff Luojia announced that he would awaken the Master of Mankind on the first day of the new year.

The people welcomed it wholeheartedly, and believers flocked to Holy Terra for pilgrimage.

But as the Imperial Cult reached its peak, strange phenomena began to appear frequently in monasteries throughout the empire, with many people seeing tall warriors burning with black flames.
