Departure

That so-called four-way coalition is just taking advantage of the fact that Chaos and Humanity are too busy fighting to deal with them. Just wait and see what happens once Chaos and Humanity are done fighting.

Just then, Lin En's messenger ran in.

The door to the command center was kicked open from the outside.

The messenger rushed in, his hat askew, clutching a communication tablet, and was covered in sweat.

"My lord!" The messenger, leaning against the doorframe, gasped for breath. "Urgent dispatch from Terra! Directly from the Golden Throne! To Bolomite!"

Lin En turned her head. "Read it."

The messenger glanced down at the stone slab, took a deep breath, and read rapidly, "To Lord Lin En, you are hereby ordered to immediately assemble all available forces and rush to Terra's aid. The Chaos army has poured out of the Warp, and its vanguard is approaching the outer defenses of the Solar System. The outer defenses of the Solar System are in dire need of action. Proceed to Terra immediately to participate in Terra defense. Issued by: Imperial Regent Guilliman, with the seal of the Golden Throne."

After reading it aloud, the messenger looked up at Lin En.

"Okay." Lin En slumped into her chair. "You can go and rest now."

Just then, the communications station rang again.

The on-duty communications officer sent an urgent report, "Sir! Urgent message from Baal! Chapter Master Dante has also received a summons from Terra!"

Before Lin En could turn around, the radio rang again; this time it was Macragge calling.

Lin En, Dante, Calgar received the orders simultaneously.

Summon them to assemble their Chapter and rush to Terra's aid.

Lynn later spoke with Dante and Calgarh.

Dante's side left half of Baal's defense force to guard the home, while Blood Angels that could move were mobilized and would depart within 24 hours.

It's similar in Calgar.

The distance from Baal to Terra is about the same as that from Bolomite. Lin En and Dante agreed that Dante would fly from Baal to Terra, while Lynn would fly from Bolomite to Terra, and they would meet at the outer edge of the Solar System.

Calgar, on the other hand, is much farther away.

They will probably arrive a few days later than them.

Lin En specifically told them to be careful of the Aeldari on the road. The Aeldari were up to no good; they had pulled in the Necrons Titans and Greenskins to form a four-way coalition, planning to stab us in the back when we were almost finished fighting Chaos.

Dantecarga paused for a moment, then said, "... Elders?"

"Led by the Seer Council Ulthwé."

"Understood." Dante's voice deepened. "I will instruct the fleet to be on high alert and to open fire on Craftworlds encountered en route."

Calgar was eerily quiet.

"Don't just shoot them on sight," Lin En added. "What if there are uninvolved ones? Warn them first, observe whether they are rebels, and only attack those who disobey."

Calgar said helplessly, "My lord, we're fighting Chaos while we also have a four -Xenos alien coalition behind us. Isn't this battle a bit too much?"

Lin En chuckled.

"It's great to see such excitement. Just think about it: the Four Chaos Gods are launching a full-scale attack, Aeldari have formed a four-pronged alliance. This is the first time in the history of the Milky Way that all the forces have come together to fight a war. It's unprecedented! We've caught a lucky break."

Calgar sighed on the other end of the line.

*******

Lin En also set off within 24 hours with three Chapter.

Twenty-four hours later, the fleet took off from Bolomite.

Cecilia led the human troops to escort them.

Lin En stood on the bridge of the Night Goddess, watching the Bolomite shrink smaller and smaller outside the Porthole.

He was quite at ease knowing his sister was guarding Bolomite.

The main reason is that Bolomite is now very strong and won't be easily manipulated anymore.

Phoros stood to the side, holding the Battle Standard of the Lamenters. His long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and his face was expressionless, but his fingers were constantly rubbing against the flagpole.

Lin En turned to look at him. "Nervous?"

"Don't be nervous," Phoros said. "I fought alongside you against the Lord of the Thousand Sons and the Lord of Death last time."

Lin En comforted him, "It's alright, I will still lead you to victory this time."

The main thing is that now if he takes out Thirty Days' worth of money, no one dares to say anything.

What's the point of talking about if there are already Thirty Days there?

The overlay of group colors is still too much like a supermodel.

As long as the Fourth District doesn't act directly, and as long as they aren't all captured, they are certain of victory.

Phoros smiled.

"Yes, we believe you will lead us to victory."

The emperor only said these things to him; now you can see who the true close advisor to the emperor is, right?

The fleet raced wildly through the Warp.

On the fourth night, the fleet leaped out of Warp.

They reached the outer reaches of the Solar System.

Lin En reached the bridge, he heard the duty communications officer shout, "Sir! Numerous ship signals detected ahead!"

Which side?

"The Blood Angels —it's the Blood Angels! Dante's Chapter Master!"

Lin En walked to the Porthole and looked out. A large number of red warships floated in the starlight, their paint as red as blood, and the blood-drop winged sword emblem of the Blood Angels was engraved on the ramming bow.

The flagship of the Blood Angels is now Dante's Wrath of Absolution.

The Blood Angels of the 30K era also had Gloriana-class Battleship called the Red Tear.

The Red Tear was entirely covered in gold. After being taken over by Sanguinius, it was refitted and renamed. The ship was filled with artworks, sculptures, and relics collected from a thousand worlds, turning it into a floating cathedral of gold and crimson, making it one of the most magnificent flagships of all the legions.

During the Siege of Terra, the Red Tear was Sanguinius's main command ship. Before he set off for Horus's Vengeful Spirit to duel, he stood on the bridge of the Red Tear and commanded the Blood Angels fleet.

After Sanguinius's death, the Red Tear was also mothballed.

The Second Founding led to a reorganization, with Guilliman issuing the Codex Astartes, which broke down the massive legions into Chapter of about a thousand men each.

For a newer, smaller Blood Angels, the maintenance costs of Gloriana-class behemoth like the Red Tear, designed specifically for the Primarchs and the entire Ninth Legion, are exorbitantly high.

Baal himself has limited resources.

Baal is a barren, heavily radioactive desert dead planet, with shipyards and forging facilities far inferior to those of Macragge, Mars, or Terra.

Maintaining and repairing a Gloriana tens of kilometers long, laden with relics, sophisticated systems, Void Shield, and ancient weapons, is a tremendous burden on Baal's industrial chain.

Not all Chapter are called Ultramarines, and not all Chapter have the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

The wreckage of the Red Tear was towed back to Baal and permanently moored in the forge docks of Baal's main satellite, where it is preserved as a sleeping relic.

The 40K Blood Angels no longer had the Gloriana, and the Chapter's flagship became an ordinary battleship, Absolute Wrath.

Damn it, I'll definitely have to dig out some more money from the High Lords Council's coffers to fix the Red Tear for the Blood Angels.

Our kids should have everything that other kids have!

Lin En proactively sent a message to Dante: "You arrived quickly, Lord Dante."

Dante's voice came through the receiver. "Lord Lin En! You're fast too! The entire Blood Angels have assembled here, six of the Successor Chapter have arrived, and the rest are still on their way."

"I've brought the Lamenters, the Flesh Tearers, the Blood Knights, and our Purple Carapace Chapter."

"I saw it. Lord Lin En, Calgar just sent a message. He's bringing the main force of the Ultramarines from the Ultramar route. They're expected to arrive in three days. We need to hold out for three days."

"I understand. As long as it's not the ninth day, everything is negotiable." Lin En wasn't so nervous anymore and even had the mood to joke.
