"For the Lioness!"
The battle continued, with artillery fire constantly blanketing the monastery.
This monastery was the only artifact capable of guiding The Rock of the Dark Angels.
Both sides were engaged in an endless struggle for this location.
The artillery positions composed of daemon engines were bombarding this place every moment.
Shells fell like raindrops, and almost every inch of land had been plowed by artillery!
Fortunately, the Dark Angels were not entirely unprepared; after enduring the long bombardment, the Battle-Brothers of the Inner Wing had actually cobbled together a large void shield using captured technological artifacts.
This void shield isolated the area from the massive external artillery fire, with only a small portion of low-speed artillery able to pierce into this fortress.
This allowed the Dark Angels to remain standing on the defensive line, avoiding being completely wiped out by the massive shelling.
[The Rock of the First Legion has arrived at Mandeville Point.]
[Guidance mission complete, entering the second phase!]
"Finally here, are you!"
Feeling that familiar aura, feeling that familiar signal.
Caleb understood that a part of his home had finally arrived!
His Warp essence could now connect to his home; one could say that the current Lion could directly tp back.
And order his The Rock to use a large number of exterminatus weapons to completely destroy this planet.
Now, Lion had obtained the key to victory; even if he could not achieve a complete victory, at least he could avoid defeat!
Vashtorr had gone to great lengths to send away that Great Unclean One of Nurgle, but the arrival of The Rock was clearly outside his expectations.
There was indeed something he wanted on The Rock, but it was definitely not something to be taken right now.
His current strength was not enough to completely finish off the First Legion, at least that was what he believed.
"How ugly this is!"
Vashtorr's heart was filled with unwillingness, but he was not without options!
The First Legion possessed many creations from the Dark Age of Technology, and since Vashtorr had already obtained a part of the Dark Angels' home, he had also obtained these sacred relics!
The Annihilation Barge buried deep underground had long been corrupted by Vashtorr's Chaos power.
Vashtorr even used his psychic power and technology to create 18 of them!
Perhaps most people did not know how terrifying these combat weapons from the Iron Men era were.
Simply put, only 6 of these combat weapons were needed to contend with a Primarch.
When these terrifying silicon-based lifeforms appeared within the enemy lines, these veteran Dark Angels from the 30k era immediately showed grave expressions.
Among them was a veteran from the Inner Wing who had once been an operator of an Annihilation Barge.
He knew very well how powerful these war machines were.
"Quick, find cover!"
"The turbo cannon is coming!"
"Get into the bunker!"
Several Inner Wing veterans quickly called out to their teammates, telling them to hide.
However, even so, the reaction speed of these Annihilation Barges was too fast.
In the time it took to speak, the turbo cannon was already upon them.
These weapons from the Dark Age instantly melted the bunkers of their position, including the Space Marine inside.
Those armor pieces blessed by the Emperor could not stop the laws of the physical universe.
Those pathetic warriors were melted along with their bunkers and armor.
"What's the situation!"
Lion also heard the commotion outside and hurriedly led his warriors out of the monastery.
He thought the situation was looking good, but one shot from the other side completely stunned him.
A huge hole appeared in the monastery wall, the wall did not collapse, but simply disappeared.
The edges of the destructive beam had glass-like crystals, while the center had been completely vaporized and no longer existed.
When Lion saw the Annihilation Barge in the distance, his expression worsened significantly.
He had just summoned his home, The Rock, and the other side had already deployed 18 Annihilation Barges to deal with him.
This was truly impressive; back when he dealt with Konrad Curze, he only deployed 7.
It seemed the other side knew he was stronger than Konrad Curze, so they directly sent 18 to finish him off!
"My Lord Lion, perhaps we need a large number of reinforcements to quickly raid these terrifying war creations!"
"Fighting a war of attrition with such terrifying monsters is extremely unwise; the internal nano-repair systems can easily repair minor damage!"
"I was once honored to participate in the mission to hunt down Konrad Curze, and I know very well that we cannot afford a war of attrition with these things!"
"I don't need you to tell me that!"
Seeing these 18 monsters approaching his lines, even Lion felt a headache.
With Lion's current strength, running away was not a big problem, but if he ran away, his Angels of Absolution would really all die!
Astartes facing combat power that was a grade higher than Custodians basically only had the fate of being slaughtered.
His side only had about 1,000 Angels of Absolution, and if they really fought these monsters, the rate at which these 1,000 people would be written off would be very fast.
At this time, Caleb was also looking at the battlefield with a grave expression.
While Lion was considering countermeasures, these annihilation machines from the Dark Age had already begun their slaughter.
This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre.
Ordinary Astartes were simply not qualified to approach these terrifying machines, they had only just entered when the attack range of these behemoths was covered by that intense artillery fire.
It was hard enough for a few jump pack squads to risk their lives to approach the front of these machines.
But when the power swords in their hands were ready to strike, the destructive molten stream of the Annihilation Barge had already completely vaporized the approaching Astartes.
The machine spirit inside the machine erupted with extremely joyful spiritual fluctuations, as if after tasting the pleasure of slaughter, the reaction speed of the machine body became even faster.
"Could these be the Iron Men of old times!"
Watching the Annihilation Barge kill more and faster, and enjoying it more and more, Caleb even suspected that the Chaos Gods could actually bless the Iron Men.
Perhaps the Emperor's restriction on artificial intelligence had this consideration.
If Chaos could corrupt the Iron Men, then for the Imperium of Man, this would be hellish.
In less than 5 minutes, Caleb already had more than 100 damaged pieces on his hands!
Don't look at these pieces as seemingly intact, in fact, the inside had already been hollowed out, and they could not be deployed again.
"This is too messed up!"
"It's a pity, I don't have these kinds of pieces on hand!"
"Being able to deploy continuously, and having combat power comparable to a Primarch, fighting this kind of thing is like sitting in prison!"
Caleb looked at the other pieces; in this situation, he was afraid he could only look for some unique pieces to turn the tide.
Fortunately, a large number of packages were arriving one after another.
Among them, the combat power of some pieces was absolutely guaranteed.
For example, Cawl, who could be deployed as a behemoth unit, or the special piece Void Dragon shard that was emitting green light in his hand.
The Emperor had once borrowed the power of the Void Dragon to eliminate the Rangdan aliens.
If Caleb deployed this thing, then undoubtedly, he would be able to achieve victory.
[Remaining deployment points: 2270 / 6000]
[Deploying Void Dragon requires 5000 deployment points, unable to deploy this unit for the time being.]
In just a moment, the Fallen Angels side had been cut down from the original 1,000 to only about 600.
A large number of war vehicles were also constantly being lost; those seemingly huge tank armored vehicles were vulnerable in front of these terrifying relics.
At this time, Caleb actually had two plans: one was to let Doraemon take out something good and directly finish off the opponent.
But if he did this, Doraemon's only use opportunity would be used up.
In case there were tough battles later, it would be difficult for Doraemon to return to the field, and by then he might really have to enjoy a month-long tour of the demon world.
Eating shit in the demon world of Warhammer 40k for over a month, Caleb doubted if he could still be a normal person after coming back.
Fortunately, Lion also did not choose to use Doraemon; compared to using Doraemon, Lion was still more willing to use such a critical opportunity on the most critical battlefield.
Now, The Rock was about to arrive above this planet.
And now it was time to let his children join the battle!
"Zabriel!"
"Come with me!"
"Doraemon, take out your anywhere door!"
"I want to go back to my home, I must bring enough reinforcements!"
Because of the anywhere door, Lion now didn't have to worry about the skill cooldown when tp-ing back.
Now the most important thing was to let the entire Dark Angels legion join the battle.
"At the same time, there are also Annihilation Barges inside The Rock fortress, perhaps we can resolve the current disadvantage through the war weapons inside the fortress!"
Azrael, who was still inside The Rock, received the news. According to the report from the Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai, there were a large number of psychic reactions from the Fallen Angels on this planet!
"There are still more than 600 Fallen Angels!"
"My god, this is a big fish!"
"No, you said there is also a Primarch signal."
"Could it be that the Primarch has already been killing the Fallen Angels on the planet?"
Azrael, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, raised his doubts; it wasn't that the number was too large, but if these signals appeared together with the Primarch, then it would be really troublesome.
Sure enough, what they feared came true.
When the pink anywhere door suddenly appeared in the Inner Circle.
Almost every Dark Angel felt a bit stressed.
"What is that?"
"Not good, there are Fallen Angels running into the Inner Circle, open fire!"
They aimed their guns at the anywhere door, and in this instant, they had already pulled the trigger and fired bolter rounds.
"Don't!"
Seeing that his anywhere door was about to be shattered, Doraemon shouted in a panic.
Clang, clang, clang!
The bolter rounds accurately hit the crimson-gold shield, and streams of light appeared on the shield.
The energy shockwave was completely neutralized by the shield of the emperor. This symbol, the artifact of Lion, appeared at this moment!
When a Gothic woman holding a crimson-gold shield appeared before everyone's eyes, all the Dark Angels were stunned.
Their instincts were telling them that this was their Primarch, this was the Primarch they had been searching for, Lion.
However, this image in front of them made them unable to believe it.
How did their heroic and domineering Primarch become so, petite and cute, nya!
"Which idiot opened fire on me, stand out!"
"Damn it, why am I eating bullets just as I got home!"
"Don't waste bolter rounds on such strange places, Caliban still needs you!"
At first, all the Dark Angels had some doubts about that instinctual reaction, but as the Haki-meow in front of them got angry, everyone felt it was the right taste!
If Lion in front of them was too calm, they would doubt whether this was Lion.
Although it couldn't be considered Lion now, even if Lion had turned into a lioness, he should still maintain his original temperament.
Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai, including Grand Master Azrael, all looked at Zabriel who was beside the Primarch, they had already started to imagine some not-so-clean scenes in their heads.
They even started to suspect whether it was this group of damned Fallen Angels that caused their Primarch to become a female.
"Ahem!"
"If the situation wasn't urgent, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to call you!"
"Forget it, forget it, keep the secret of me becoming like this for now!"
"Your mission now is to hurry back to reinforce Caliban. The mission Father gave me is to recover our former home, Caliban!"
"Now all tasks are prioritized on recovering Caliban!"
"The matter of hunting down the Fallen Angels can be put aside for now!"
"Hmm..."
Just after the Primarch finished saying this, Azrael and Asmodai looked at each other and nodded.
If they were still questioning or had doubts just a moment ago, but now with this performance, it was confirmed to be the Primarch!
Not only did he retain his original personality, he even knew some major internal secrets.
Even the temperament was perfectly captured, it was just cuter with the current image of a woman.
Azrael knocked on the nearby Interrogator-Chaplain and asked: "Are you sure it's the Primarch!"
Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai replied firmly: "Sure, it is absolutely real!"
"Although I don't know why he became a woman, the bearing is very similar!"
"Fuck!"
Lion directly beat the two guys up in front of all the Dark Angels.
The two also thought about resisting, and then they tasted the iron fist of love from their mother.
They were instantly handled like three-year-old children.
Even while fighting, Lion gave them a few pointers.
And casually mentioned that you guys haven't made any progress during this time.
"Ahhhh! It's Mom! Oh no, it's Lion!"
"My Lord Primarch, we will send reinforcements immediately!"
"It's just, nowadays, there is no one left in the Dark Angels who can use the Annihilation Barge!"
"Huh?"
Although Lion had already guessed what happened, he had no time to be angry now.
He would settle the score with these brats later; the most important task now was to support the battlefield and take out the good stuff first.
"Take those things out for me first!"
"There are people among the Angels of Absolution I gathered who can operate the Annihilation Barge!"
"All you need to do is drop the weapons!"
"Leave the rest to me, understand!"
"Yes, Primarch!" The Inner Circle members present had no objections.
Or rather, they didn't dare to have objections.
Even if they had objections in their hearts now, they would have to wait until after the war to bring them up.
They were still fighting over the cat nest, and the cat nest hadn't been taken back yet, so what were they arguing about?
It's just that some things can be delayed, but some things have to be brought up in person.
For example, what's the situation with a bunch of Fallen Angels around the Primarch right now?
Why are the Fallen Angels so calm and composed, mixing with the Primarch.
Well, these can all be discussed later. The most critical thing is why their gene-dad became a mother-san?
