"Show our enemies the freezing storms of Fenris!"
Led by the Old Wolf, the Space Wolves, who could no longer contain themselves, launched a fierce assault on the Khorne Daemons.
Iax was not surprised in the slightest.
He had seen scenes like this many times before.
Silver Machine Bodies darted across the battlefield alongside the Space Marines.
Beams of energy effortlessly vaporized the Daemons.
Unlike the physical banishment dealt by the Astartes,
The erasing attacks of the Psychic Disintegration Weapon caught the Daemons completely off guard.
Every Daemon who had witnessed these weapons had vanished utterly, leaving no information about them whatsoever.
Chaos knew something even about the Grey Knights hidden deep within the False Emperor's decaying Imperium.
Yet Chaos had no defenses prepared against these weapons of the Men of Iron.
The Daemons had been playing games with the Imperial Inquisition all along.
In the past, the Grey Knights had slaughtered innocent mortals and Imperial troops to prevent any details of these Daemon hunters' battles from leaking.
Yet although the Grey Knights banished the Chaos Daemons, they did not kill them outright.
Once the Daemons were reborn in the Warp, information about these Daemon hunters was hardly a secret.
The Daemons refrained from targeting the Grey Knights only because they wanted to keep watching them slaughter their comrades.
This was the will of the Lord of Change.
And indeed, the Daemons had already enjoyed one entertaining spectacle.
The hatred between the Space Wolves and the Inquisition had arisen precisely because of these Grey Knights who slaughtered their comrades-in-arms.
Although Guilliman's return had brought orders forbidding the Grey Knights from killing allies to preserve secrecy, replacing it with the relatively gentler practice of memory wipes,
that did nothing to stop a Primarch from developing a prejudice against the Grey Knights.
