Chapter 250 Saint Celestine: Great Lord, we need your salvation!
Fortress of Hera.
This fortified fortress on Crown Mountain is the base camp of the Ultramarines.
As the war gradually spread, more than a dozen lines of defense had been deployed around the fortress.
As the richest and largest war group, the Ultramarines have more than 200,000 people.
Even if they were scattered across the five hundred worlds to resist the swarming invasion of Chaos, there were still tens of thousands of warriors holding on to the Hera Fortress.
These warriors responsible for guarding the fortress and their original bodies are almost all veterans of hundreds of battles and honor guards.
There are also a lot of Terminator armors and Dreadnoughts among them.
But these warriors are not enough to resist those crazy forces of chaos.
The attack on Hera Fortress this time was a full fleet of Chaos warbands, with at least tens of thousands of Chaos traitors.
In addition, Daemons of Khorne also participated in the attack.
The terrifying chief demon who calls himself Kabanha is leading two Khorne demons and more demonic armies to attack the fortress.
The flames of hell burned almost everything in its path.
The chief demon is probably a more difficult opponent than the Chaos traitors.
Inside the auditorium.
Chief Thinker Diglis was half-kneeling in front of the shrine and praying. He soon opened his eyes and stood up with the psychic scepter.
His eyes were covered in white light, and the complex circuitry of the power armor was connected to the back of his head, slightly entangled with arcs of electricity.
"How's it going, man?"
Chapter Commander Calgar walked over, his thick dark blue power armor like a thick solid barrier.
Reassuring.
He raised the exaggeratedly thick Fist of Ultramar and lightly patted Diglis on the shoulder:
"Did you find anything?"
"The prophecy is more terrifying than imagined. I can't see the hope of victory..."
Diglis looked worried: "The warning from the unknown existence was correct, he predicted everything!"
"At least we believe it, don't we?"
A few days ago, a strange canned mechanical creation suddenly appeared near Hera Fortress.
After the Ultramarines captured it, they received an astonishing news from the sound generator of the canned mechanical creation.
A guy who claimed to be a loyal servant of the emperor, a prophet, and an omniscient and omnipotent savior told them that five hundred worlds would be invaded by Chaos.
In particular, Macragge was about to face an overwhelming disaster.
This news shocked Diglis because he had also foreseen the coming disaster.
But the message of the savior was more detailed, even revealing who the specific enemies were and their purpose.
The arrival of certain reinforcements was even predicted.
After confirming that there was no malicious intent on the canned mechanical creation, Diglis decided to believe the warning message.
Because he felt a trace of divine aura on that mechanical creation.
It is impossible for those evil things to create such an aura.
Later, at the urging of the Chief Librarian, Chapter Master Calgar began to prepare for the war.
He summoned many elite warriors back to guard the Hera Fortress while seeking more reinforcements.
However, time was still too hasty.
Soon, the forces of Chaos launched an attack on Ultramar, as predicted, and the entire sector was involved in the flames of war.
Macragge has become the key target of Chaos' attacks.
Diglis blames himself quite a lot:
"But we still underestimated Chaos, they want to destroy this place at all costs.
The current defense line is not strong enough to withstand those Chaos armies..."
"There is no way around it. The time we have is too short, and the front is so vast, covering Ultramar.
The Chaos Demon has attacked too many places at the same time, and we cannot mobilize more warriors, otherwise other worlds will be lost."
Calgar looked determined: "Isn't it our duty to participate in difficult battles? We have experienced too many life-and-death battles, and this one is no different."
"The final battle!"
He raised his head slightly and looked at the sun that was almost obscured by red clouds along the gap in the ceiling of the auditorium:
“I am reminded of the last line of ‘Lamentation No. 1’, ‘Praise be to the sun that heralds final doom’.”
"It's a nice speech," Diglis replied, "but it seems like someone has said it before."
"Yeah?"
"That time we were besieged by demons in the valley..."
Calga's expression remained unchanged: "Well, it seems that I am not suitable for giving a pre-war speech, but at times like this, I always want to say something..."
"Courage and Glory!"
Diglis said as he held the psychic scepter tightly.
Hearing this, Calga's tone became serious: "You are right, courage and glory!"
He turned and walked outside:
"Let us face this final battle together. The savior who is as talkative as you is right.
Our guests are almost here! "
Degrassi followed:
"The prophecy of the savior is happening, and I hope everything he says is correct."
His eyes were filled with anticipation.
…
The landing ship of the Great Sage and his party quietly passed through the blockade of Chaos and arrived at the Hera Fortress.
However, they found that the leader and chief think tank of the Ultramarines were waiting for them.
"Your Excellency Calga, we have an important purpose for this trip. We need to go to the Sovereign Temple to see you..."
The Great Sage organized the words.
After all, they proposed so abruptly to go to the temple to see the Primarch who had been in a coma for ten thousand years, and they were still together with the Eldar aliens.
It is bound to cause great indignation among the Ultramarines.
"Your Majesty the Great Sage, are you here to fulfill the agreement made ten thousand years ago?" Diglas asked:
"Did you bring that sacred object? Can you show it?"
The Great Sage and Everene looked at each other, and both saw great surprise in each other's eyes.
The matter of curing the original body is a secret among secrets, and they have never revealed even half of it to the outside world.
"Although I don't know where you learned about this, this is indeed our purpose."
The great sage did not dwell too much on this issue.
The most important thing now is to use the Sacred Box to awaken the sleeping original body before Chaos comes in.
The Great Sage's mechanical hand pulled the suspended platform over and gently opened the holy box on it.
Inside is a brand new piece of majestic power armor - the Armor of Destiny.
At the same time, he also showed everyone a new weapon prepared for the Primarch, the sword of the Emperor himself.
"It seems that the prophecy is coming true..."
After seeing the holy object and sword, Diglas nodded, his eyes full of surprise.
At the same time, he was shocked by the mysterious savior. He could not make such an accurate prediction.
That must be a terrifying being.
Then Diglas turned to look at Calga.
Whether these people can go to the Sovereign Temple to see their "father" in the throne shrine depends on the Chapter Leader's opinion.
Calga hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Follow them to the temple. It's best to keep an eye on them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hera Fortress shook violently. It was an attack from Chaos!
Everyone immediately decided that Diglas would lead the Great Sage and his assistant Everene to the Temple of Solemnity to revive the original body.
Calgar, Saint Celestine, Greyfax and others stayed to organize the defense line to buy time for the Great Sage.
Rumble——
Fierce artillery fire roared, and the roar of demons resounded.
The general attack of Chaos has begun, and the raging war is burning unbridled to the Hera Fortress!
The Chaos fleet unleashed its trump card, dropping dozens of armor-reinforced Dreadclaws from orbit.
Each one is packed with Chaos warriors!
Under the friction of the atmosphere, the Terror Claw plummeted towards the Hera Fortress.
That's their goal.
"For Ultramar!"
The Ultramarines' interceptor fleet and gunboat formation were like raging bees, desperately trying to intercept the Terror Claws.
No matter what, they cannot let those terrifying Chaos airdrop pods fall into their sacred land!
Hiss~
More hell flying dragons surged in, guarding those fear claws.
These flying demon engines spit out vicious dragon flames from their huge mouths, using their bodies to draw fire from defenders.
They didn't make any evasive movements and rushed towards the interception front crazily, even if they were hit by artillery fire and were shattered to pieces.
The hell flying dragons forcibly tore a bloody path through the Ultramarines' air defense array, covering the Terror Claw's successful landing.
Boom boom boom!
It was as if the heaven and earth were shaking, and boulders kept falling down, which meant that the strong fortress was collapsing.
The Terror Claws penetrated the barriers of Hera's Fortress one after another.
Accompanied by the foul smell of Chaos, hundreds of Chaos Space Marines swarmed out.
Kill towards the temple.
Roar--
at the same time.
With a dull and sinister sound of trumpets, the attack of Khorne's daemons also arrived.
The burning magic flames cracked the ground, and the skull cannon launched an attack. A large number of burning bone cannons bombarded the outer barriers.
Large cracks gradually appeared in those huge stone barriers.
The huge copper bull's breathing sounded like thunder, and the fiery flames filled the air.
These twisted behemoths exude raw, overwhelming power like an unstoppable torrent.
Launched a charge towards the barrier.
However, they were blocked by the Empire's steel behemoths.
Those huge fearless mechas relied on their strong armor to withstand the impact of the copper bull, while at the same time tilting destructive firepower towards the surroundings.
Surrounding these giant beasts, the Ultramarines and Dark Templar warriors fought a desperate battle with a large number of red vampires.
Violent explosive bombs almost filled the entire space in front, and the light blue light of the power sword kept flickering.
At this moment, war filled the entire Hera Fortress.
However, there were still too many enemies, and it was difficult for the Space Marines to resist, and the front was compressed step by step.
Chaos is advancing towards the Sovereign Temple.
At this moment, one side of the huge wall of the Sovereign Temple collapsed, and the scene inside could be seen.
On the throne, the original body's extremely majestic body was sleeping in the stasis field.
"After ten thousand years, I finally fulfilled my promise and came to you!"
The Great Sage delivered the Sacred Box to the Primarch with the relief of being relieved of a heavy burden.
The mechanical creation made a harsh buzzing sound while opening its petals like some kind of giant ten-person flower.
This mechanical creation would automatically cover the Primarch with the armor of destiny and at the same time, in some unknown way, heal his wounds.
Degrassi looked at the machine, the blazing energy, the stretching mechanical vines, the mechanical clamps that fixed the limbs, and the buzzing bone drill.
It made him a little disgusted.
The Great Sage looked at Diglas: "Don't worry, I have been debugging this technology for hundreds of years, and all possible errors have been eliminated.
Once activated, the only remaining outcome is for the Emperor's Son to successfully wake up. "
Degrassi didn't stop him, he could feel the life energy contained in it.
The current situation no longer allows anyone to hesitate. Only by awakening their father can all this be saved.
Otherwise, Macragge would be destroyed and his father's body would be ravaged by Chaos.
After all, that was Chaos' true purpose in waging this war.
boom!
Several shells exploded in the temple. Although they were stopped by the Great Sage's force field, the shock wave still caused the sacred box to deviate from its position.
Sparks came out.
At the same time, more than a dozen Chaos Terminators rushed towards the breach in the temple, trying to break through the blockade and enter the temple.
"No, brothers, stop them!"
Calgar led the Ultramarines Terminators to rush over and stop the Chaos Terminators.
He wielded the Fist of Ultramar, a force-field-carrying fist that cut through his opponent's defenses.
The crackling arc of electricity sent a sharp blow to the Chaos Terminator's chin, and the opponent's head exploded into a shower of blood mixed with metal fragments in an instant.
The moment the corpse fell to the ground, Calgar adjusted his posture, wielded two bolt guns and let out a thunderous roar, pouring out a barrage of death at the surrounding enemies.
Immediately, another Terminator was torn apart by bolters on the spot.
Before Calga could react, a roar containing extreme anger made his heart tremble.
A demonic body more than ten meters high and stained with flames appeared in the field of vision. Its aura alone made this powerful chapter leader fearful.
That's the Chief Demon Kabanha!
boom!
The giant ax shattered the defensive barrier, and more demons broke through and rushed towards the temple.
Calga roared and asked the communications officer: "Where are the reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
However, the next moment, he lost the signal from the communications officer.
Under the combined attack of Chaos warriors and daemons, the front could barely hold on.
But the soldiers are still holding on!
In the golden light, Saint Celestine used her wings to crisscross the enemy formation, leaving behind several chaotic corpses with every slash and leap.
Greyfax was standing on a sarcophagus, firing his bolt crossbow at the abominations in all directions.
"Weak existence..."
Ka'banha looked at all this with disdain, and he and the two Khorne demons behind him finally moved.
Take a step toward the temple.
Kabanha casually grabbed an Ultramarine and crushed it.
Then the huge wingspan swept away the surrounding Ultramarines.
"I block all enemies!"
Several fearless machines rushed over desperately, knocked the big demon out of the line, and imprisoned him tightly.
"How dare a half-dead scrap of metal dare to block the footsteps of the great Kabanha?
Your death will be worthless! "
Kabanha was a little angry, and he swung his ferocious giant ax to smash two fearless mechas.
Then, he opened his huge mouth and spit out the magic flames, burning the fearless mecha that was tightly hugging him.
Under the scorching flames, the pilot of the fearless mecha let out a horrifying wail, which was the endless pain from the soul.
Finally, the fearless mecha fell.
"Sacrifice...has value!"
The Dreadnought Mecha launched its final attack on Kabanha, and the gunfire damaged the chief demon's eyes.
boom!
Kabanha roared angrily and crushed it with his foot.
Roar--
Not far away, Calgar, Saint Celestine, Greyfax and others were already leading the warriors.
Fight against the Daemon of Khorne and a large number of Chaos warriors and daemons.
But the power of Chaos was strong in the past, the front was collapsing, and despair was beginning to spread.
However, the reinforcements they were expecting have yet to arrive.
On the eve of the complete collapse of the front, the light of the teleportation array lit up... reinforcements arrived!
boom--
Along with the sizzling sound, the dazzling spiritual light spread to the ground, and many demons were roasting and howling in their spiritual energy.
Dozens of figures appeared from the teleportation array.
These tall and heavy steel bodies blocked the demonic tide with a hammer blow!
"Use faith as armor, dedication as shield, arm yourself with pure purpose, and be fearless of all the power of chaos!"
They are the Gray Knights, the Demon Hunters, the Emperor... Hammer!
The Gray Knights formed a barrier formation, using all their psychic energy to consolidate the Grand Master's psychic defense line.
These powerful warriors slaughtered the demonic tide and kept the line alive.
Seeing this scene, Saint Celestine and others breathed a sigh of relief, but soon they fell into despair again.
Because they underestimated the power of the chief demon.
"Gray Knight?"
There was a trace of disgust in Ka'banha's eyes. He rushed into the battle line and killed several Gray Knights with overwhelming force.
Tearing a hole in the psychic defense line.
The overwhelming power of chaos surrounded the temple. The warriors struggled to resist, and people died every moment.
More warriors jumped off the pile of corpses before dying, dying with Chaos.
Saint Celestine swooped down upon Cabanha like an angel, trying to stop his carnage.
However, she soon suffered serious injuries and her left arm was torn.
After several fights, Kabanha's claws suddenly grabbed Saint Celestine in mid-air and tried to crush her to death.
As the claws tightened, Saint Celestine felt that her bones were gradually cracking.
Despite this, the pure winged angel continued to chant hymns dedicated to the Emperor.
I hope that the great will can give guidance and let them see the hope of salvation.
Saint Celestine looked at her brothers and sisters who were being slaughtered on the battlefield, and a golden tear fell down her fair face.
She prayed: "Great Lord, save us if we need you!"
boom--
The suddenly distorted space attracted all the attention of the battlefield, and the dazzling light of the teleportation array lit up.
A huge body slowly appeared!
