"The Mechanicus reinforcements I brought are now on standby at the outer edge of the Beta Garmon system. After the previous raid, the Iron Legion and the Astartes of the Emperor's Fangs have defeated the Thousand Sons and forced them to abandon their ships and escape."

Luo Xi brought good news to Ryan, but the Lion King smiled disdainfully. This group of traitors was full of suspicion and calculation.

It's only a matter of time before they start quarreling among themselves.

"As for the Iron Warriors...oh, the Iron Warriors escaped. They evacuated the battlefield and are escaping in the opposite direction."

During the time when Luo Xi and Ryan were talking, the Iron Blood, the flagship of the Fourth Legion, which had just been trying to support the Brilliant Light, had given up any major moves.

They changed direction and chose not to continue to interfere in the battle between the rebel fleet led by the Spirit of Vengeance and the imperial fleet led by the Sky Eagle.

It was rushing towards Mandeville Point on the edge of the galaxy, seemingly intending to leave the battlefield directly.

Luo Xi had a new understanding of the performance of Tie Yong. This group of iron-headed and stubborn people were actually flexible at this time and did not choose to continue fighting.

Otherwise, Roche would not have intended to let these Iron Warriors go. The Sons of Perturabo had caused heavy slaughter on the people of the Empire. The rebellious Fourth Legion was the one who truly worked hard for Horus's cause, and the human blood stained on their hands could no longer be washed away.

"Don't worry about them for now. The Iron Blood escaped, the Radiant Light was captured, and Horus had two fingers cut off. We will settle the score with them later!"

The only ones still fighting on the battlefield were Horus's Vengeful Spirit, the Emperor's Children's Pride, Mortarion's Endurance, and the rebels' greatest reliance, the Blackstone Fortress.

Due to the withdrawal of the Iron Warriors and Thousand Sons, the Horus faction had undoubtedly fallen into a disadvantage in this unprecedented space naval battle. Although the remaining thousands of battleships and cruisers were also a huge threat, this force had already been dispersed and was fighting with the Imperial warships.

"I'll leave this Mechanicus fleet to you to command. Let them act as bayonets to pierce the rear of the rebels!"

Ryan Jonson nodded without saying any polite words of thanks, because that would be meaningless.

"By the way, you should be careful with this Mechanicus fleet. The Mechanicus already has a huge grudge against the Empire, so don't just send them away."

Luo Xi thought about it and was still a little worried, so he immediately added.

The Lion King has always been absolutely rational and ruthless in war. As long as he can win, he will not blink an eye no matter how high the price is.

The image of the extinction-order demon had already been planted in Luo Xi's mind, and it was really hard for him to feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of my allies." Ryan replied vaguely, and then continued to get busy.

Luo Xi could only assume that he really listened to it.

He turned and looked at the Prophet Uslan who was meditating with his eyes closed.

"Your courage and bravery are beyond my expectations. You dare to take the risk and get involved in this muddy water."

"But where are the reinforcements from the Arkworld you promised? Where are they?"

Hearing Luo Xi's question, Uslan opened his eyes and then looked at Luo Xi very seriously.

"We have reached an alliance, so I will naturally fulfill my promise. Besides, I don't think you will let me close the Blackstone Fortress alone, right?"

"As for the other Craft Worlds, they are only willing to take action when the Chaos Legion breaks through the solar system. I have already reached the limit of being able to convince them to do this."

Luo Xi burst into laughter immediately. Yes, Uslan was right.

Since even the Eldar can muster the courage to face the Chaos rebellion and resist the invasion of the real universe by the Warp, then doesn't he have such courage? Humans have never lacked courage.

"I will bring the Emperor's Fangs and an elite Iron Legion with you, plus the mixed team from Corswayn sent by Ryan. This force should be enough to deal with the rebels in Blackstone Fortress."

"It's a pity that Hill is commanding the battle in the fleet, and Sharokin is still dealing with the affairs of the Lunar Gene Sect with Belisarius Cawl. These old friends are not with me." Luo Xi also sighed. If it were in the past, Hill and Sharokin should have accompanied him into danger.

The two of them quickly discussed it, and then took the Emperor's Fangs and a 2,000-man Iron Legion boarded the Infinite Loyalty, an ancient battleship of the Dark Angels.

Endred Harr followed Roshi faithfully. It was the Sage of Roshi who helped his battle-brothers break free from the slavery of the Butcher's Nails. Endred Harr was also the executor of the Emperor's will. The Broken Hound naturally offered his loyalty.

The Black Shield Astartes under his command also followed their leader unconditionally. Roche also integrated the veterans of his own Broken Legion into the force, bringing the number of this Astartes force to three thousand.

And Corswayn also brought nearly 1,500 Dark Angel veterans. Many of these silent First Legion warriors can even be traced back to the war when the Emperor unified Terra.

There is no doubt that this is a very luxurious lineup, and this mixed force is also going to carry out an extremely dangerous mission.

"Lord Roshi, by the order of the Lion King, I will obey your command."

Koswain came in front of Roche. This beloved younger brother of Ryan Johnson took off his winged helmet, revealing a slightly handsome face.

Compared to the other rough and bold Calibans, Corswayn's appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Emperor's Children or the Blood Angels, handsome, resolute, and fearless.

"We will board the relic warship Infinite Loyalty to board the Blackstone Fortress. This warship is one of the few precious relics of the First Legion. It has concealment and maneuverability far superior to other warships."

The Dark Angels always have endless good stuff to dig up, and this battleship born in the dark technological age is even more so. Roche felt an extremely ancient will, and the machine soul of this battleship was also warmly welcoming his arrival.

Roche placed his palm on the deck of the Loyalty, and the battleship began to tremble. Costwain felt an extremely violent vibration under his feet. In the incredulous eyes of everyone, all the lights and display screens lit up.

A pleasant sound of gears turning came from the microphone. The explosion-proof doors opened automatically wherever Luo Xi went, and the flashing spots of light actively guided the road ahead.

The technical sergeants and crew of the Dark Angels were immediately in disbelief, because they detected that the ship's originally silent and cold machine soul had become extremely active after the arrival of Luo Xi and others.

The Thinker's computer was running at full capacity with unimaginable efficiency, and the energy pipelines and network lines that originally made slight noises were now running incredibly smoothly, as if they had been fully maintained.

The thinking space that had become a little dull due to the accumulation of too many caches over the long years became extremely neat again. The mottled traces of battle damage and aging parts on the thick outer armor of the battleship were as bright as new under the nourishment of the mysterious power.

All the servitors stopped and knelt on the ground to show their utmost respect.

And Luo Xi finally arrived at the control console of the battleship, and the metal under him automatically formed a customized steel throne for him.

Luo Xi smiled, revealing his upper teeth. His will had already entered the machine soul, completely controlling the battleship.

"Without further ado, we'll set off immediately."

The Astartes immediately took their positions, tied the safety buckles, and the Infinite Loyalty began to fly at a speed 200% higher than the normal speed.

The world unfolded before Luo Xi's eyes. He could even see the ripples caused by the change in the curvature of space. The cold steel under his feet and the sound of electric current in his ears seemed both real and unreal.

The Infinite Loyalty was like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for the Blackstone Fortress.
