733. The Gathering of Storms: Guilliman at the Turning Point of History (XIX).

【At this moment, this sudden major change did not make the countless people who were in a state of fanaticism feel the slightest fear and confusion.

【On the contrary, under the propaganda of a large number of Macragge administrative officials, it became a strong proof that you and Primarch Guilliman bravely defeated the conspiracy of the traitors' attack. 】

【But the sudden appearance of the ascended Primarch Fulgrim also gave you and Primarch Guilliman a slight reminder. 】

【That is, the traitor Primarchs who defected to the Chaos Gods have obtained the blood induction in the dark through Guilliman's awakening and return. They are gradually excited and will enthusiastically welcome the return of Primarch Guilliman with the evil power of the Chaos Gods. 】

【You and Primarch Guilliman had to speed up the plan to organize the pilgrimage fleet to Holy Terra. 】

【After discussion, you also believed that every time the pilgrimage action was delayed for a period of time, there would be more unpredictable changes. ]

[At the same time, the Ultramarines, which had regained their full strength, also launched a secret screening and imprisonment of corrupt officials and nobles on Macragge under the personal leadership of Lord Cypher and the Wolf Cub. ]

[This was not an order from Primarch Guilliman himself. ]

[It was a judgment you made subconsciously for the overall situation of the Five Hundred Worlds. ]

[After all, after the two of you Primarchs took away most of the Astartes and dozens of combat ships, the Five Hundred Worlds Ultramar, which temporarily became a vacuum zone, needed a more stable capital planet to sit in.

[Primarch Guilliman did not question or block your order. On the contrary, he felt a little heartfelt relief that you were learning his thinking mode and way of thinking. ]

[Soon after, under the continuous command and mobilization of Primarch Guilliman, a large-scale Terra pilgrimage fleet was finally ready. ]

[And the pilgrims from several Ultramarines' sub-groups such as the Nova Marines and the Ascetics, as well as the survivors of the Battle of Cadia, the Space Wolves, the Black Templars, the Dark Angels and many other Astartes Chapters also quickly landed inside each ship. ]

[Next, the Living Saint Saint Celestine also led several teams of battle sisters who came to pay homage to the Primarch Guilliman, and joined the command level of the pilgrimage fleet with the Grand Master of the Third Brotherhood of the Grey Knights, Vordais and others. ]

[After Lord Cypher and the Wolf Cub quickly and secretly dealt with a small number of Chaos believers who were hiding very deeply on Macragge. ]

[The Ultramarines Chapter, which always maintained a full strength, also separated about two-thirds of the Astartes, plus a group of veterans of the Honor Guard, the Ever-Victorious Army, who chose to follow the Primarch Guilliman. 】

【According to what Chapter Master Calgar said to you, even if all their descendants died in the next battle to protect the Gene Father, they did not want to endure the painful days of the Primarch falling into a near-death sleep again.

【And just when you and Primarch Guilliman were confidently planning to announce the official departure of the entire fleet to embark on this pilgrimage to Holy Terra to meet the Emperor. 】

【A mysterious plague called "Tear Plague" suddenly continued to spread on a large number of worlds in Ultramar of the Five Hundred Worlds. 】

【Primarch Guilliman, who had just obtained a lot of intelligence information, wanted to lead the entire expedition fleet to deal with the plague incident in the Five Hundred Worlds immediately. 】

【But before the other party's order was issued, you stopped it in front of him. 】

【"Brother, I know you have always had a deep-seated rejection and disgust for religion. Believe me, I am also very annoyed with religion in many cases, but in some cases, the seemingly ignorant state religion can also be a special means that can be used very well."】

【"Haven't you discovered yet? The so-called 'Tear Plague' is just a little game used by our other traitor brother Mortarion to welcome you. If you lead all the fleets to support, it will only greatly slow down the time and progress of you and me going to Holy Terra to meet the Emperor."】

【"How about this, I will jointly issue an order as our Primarch, calling on all the priests and fanatics of the state religion who can receive the order to launch a large-scale rescue operation for the Imperial world suffering from the plague?"】

【"Although in my expectation, they only have the devout belief in the Emperor and the large-scale holy water rainfall plan that I think can temporarily suppress the 'Tear Plague', but this can barely allow all the plague patients to support for a longer time."】

【Your words made the Primarch Guilliman in front of you temporarily fall into a state of contemplation. 】

【Finally, he had to slowly close his eyes with a mixture of pain and indifference, which was considered to be his approval of your series of solutions to this matter. 】

【Just as you have already noticed before. 】

【The longer your pilgrimage is postponed, the more accidents you may encounter. 】

【Whether it is the rebellious primarch or the Chaos Gods, they will definitely plan more vicious strategies to completely delay your progress! 】

【In the following period of time, you quickly ordered the astropaths on the ship to send out psychic communications calling on the Ecclesiarchy to launch a support operation against the Five Hundred Worlds Ultramar, and soon received replies and responses from the shrine worlds. 】

【After the first-hand intelligence information from the place where the plague occurred quickly entered the sight of the Primarch Guilliman. 】

【The two hearts that had been hanging in the air finally fell back to their original positions in the chest. 】

【Your trick did play a huge role successfully. With the rapid arrival of many state church priests and a large number of fanatical believers, the ubiquitous power of faith also suppressed the spread and ravage of the mysterious plague to a great extent. 】

【You two Primarchs decided to take this opportunity and immediately led the pilgrim fleet headed by the Glorious Queen-class battleship Macragge's Glory to launch an expedition to Holy Terra. 】

【Countless huge metal ships quickly opened the most important Geller force field and slowly sailed into the depths of the mysterious and treacherous subspace channel. 】

【But you soon discovered something even more abnormal. 】

【A series of warp storms suddenly arose in the warp channel that was originally normal, which made the entire pilgrim fleet only able to carefully perform short-distance warp jumps, and the coordinates of the fleet returning to the real world were often far from the predetermined coordinates. 】

【Of course, even if you and the entire pilgrim fleet with Primarch Guilliman encountered countless difficulties and dangers, you still stubbornly continued to move forward in the direction of Terra. 】

【Until your entire fleet successfully arrived at the edge of the Maelstrom after a long voyage, this extremely tenacious forward posture was completely ended. 】

【At this moment, you and the pilgrim fleet led by Primarch Guilliman faced the Chaos Thousand Sons Fleet led by another Ascended Primarch, Magnus the Red! 】
