Macragge's Webway gate was located on a nearby satellite. Guilliman had never known that the moon visible to the naked eye concealed an invisible portal of a creator-level megastructure.
Through the Webway, the Aeldari could bypass the defenses around the Mandeville Point at unimaginable speed and arrive directly at Macragge itself.
Although the two sides had formed a strategic alliance, Guilliman, ever fond of making plans for everything, still devised dozens of effective countermeasures in his mind.

Powerful psychic waves swirled around Uslan's body as his terrifying psychic strength poured into the Webway and rapidly drained away.
Twenty thousand elite Dark Angels boarded the New Caliban and the Indomitable Truth and entered the Webway. In the journey ahead, the Lion would lead the way.
"Quickly. I cannot hold on much longer.
