Warhammer: Rise of the Star Gods

The fleet that escaped lost most of its auxiliary fleet, all of its macro cannons were overloaded and close to being scrapped, and the life of its light spear array had been exhausted and it could not be used until it was replaced.

Because the Spirit of Vengeance had to turn at a high speed, her keel was slightly twisted and needed major repairs. Her light spears and macro cannons were no longer usable, her void shield engine was overloaded, and the entire ship was in an undefended state.

This army, which had lost 20,000 Astartes, no longer had the strength to continue the expedition.

Of course, due to the pressing situation, there was no time for them to go on an expedition.

Horus was breathing heavily, his head aching from overworking his brain, but he still managed to keep himself steady and find an astropath to send a message to the Emperor.

The current situation is worse than ever before.

In the northern star region of the empire, there is the Randan Empire, which is powerful enough to chase away the First Legion. In the southeastern region, there is a large group of orcs, and they seem to be a large empire with relatively strict discipline.

The empire was facing unprecedented challenges as it was sandwiched between two sides.

"Sir, how about bringing back the troops that were sent out?"

Abaddon quietly proposed the plan.

"No, the reinforcements from the Dark Angels cannot move."

Horus immediately refused, and the Primarch issued orders, commanding the Forge Worlds in various places and the Mechanicus' accompanying personnel to carry out emergency repairs on the fleet, while also negotiating with the Emperor.

It is crazy to fight against two powerful enemies at the same time. There are many cases in history where people died and their countries were destroyed due to being attacked from both sides.

The best way is to let the two alien empires fight each other, and then wipe them out when both sides are exhausted.

The Lord of the Moon Wolf naturally thought so. The Legion's decapitation attack tactics against the super empire was tantamount to seeking death.

"No."

The Emperor's psychic messages are clear and unmistakable, his will unshakable.

In the psychic channel, the primarchs who could respond waited quietly for orders.

"This is a video message recorded by the Fifth Legion White Scars (formerly known as the Star Hunters) fleet in the north when it covered the First Legion's evacuation."

Vision was very poor, with black and white lines jumping across the document, sometimes covering up most of the screen.

The battleship's tail flame should be dazzling, and the endless surging storm should overturn everything. This is the way the imperial battleship protects the weak area at the tail.

The Fifth Legion's fleet was fast enough to race against the Eldar warships, but the tail flame of this battleship was extremely dim, as if its engine had not been started at all.

The surrounding brother troops twisted their positions, adjusted their shooting angles as much as possible, and threw their lances, macro cannons and torpedoes backwards.

Strangely, the macro cannon did not explode, and the light spear did not illuminate the dense black curtain behind. The attack seemed to be swallowed up by the dark cosmic background.

During the evacuation, the battleship passed through a star system. The surface of the star was roiling with storms and flares were raging. The light radiation that could blind mortals was as weak as a small light bulb at the end of its life. The huge stellar-level energy body was uncontrollably pulling towards the rear of the fleet.

After the fleet flew past, half an hour later, the star's light disappeared and there was no sign of the celestial body in the video.

"Star Devouring Weapons?"

Horus had seen the Old Night Pocket Empire using this kind of weapon. If the other party also had similar weapons that matched its size, then the danger would indeed be raised to a higher level, even higher than that of the Orc Empire.

"Is it a Star God?"

Sanguinius had worse guesses in his mind. He had a close personal relationship with the leader of the Necrons, the Emperor of the Dead, who was controlled by the consciousness of the King of Silence, and had some understanding of the ancient powerful life forms.

The Emperor naturally knew about the child's affair with the aliens, but he didn't object, mainly because the Necrons were still powerful enough, and it would be crazy to turn against them now.

“No, if they are really Star Gods, no news from them will leak out.

That is the zodiacal beast, the porcupine beast."

"The Zodiac Beast?"

The Primarchs had never heard of such a race, but they could see that it was also a very powerful race.

“They are giant void beasts that are generally larger than stars, and most of them can travel freely between the real universe and the sea of ​​souls.

Void whales don't count, they are too small and not strong enough.

Each of these beasts has the strength to temporarily resist me... and each of them has the strength to fight against me."

After thinking for a long time, the Emperor could not come up with a suitable unit of measurement for combat power that would allow all the Primarchs to have a clear concept of it, so he could only use himself as the standard.

"The Pigmon, also known as the Energy Devourer, is a very powerful species among the Zodiac beasts. It has a transparent gel-like appearance similar to jelly.

They can absorb energy and matter and transform it into part of themselves.

To satisfy their insatiable hunger, they will continue to devour.

Relying on psychic spells and energy strikes will only replenish the opponent's strength.

Moreover, their vitality is extremely strong. Even if the tissue fragments are separated from the body, they can be quickly restored without being destroyed instantly. "

"That's going to be hard to deal with... No, according to this statement, the Zodiac beast is very powerful, and it sounds like there were quite a lot of them in the past.

Has something happened that caused the number of these giant beasts to drop sharply?"

Magnus, who had just finished studying psychic powers, was quite curious and wanted to know what had happened in the past.

If we can bring down the number of giant beasts, then we must have the means to deal with them.

“Well… I can’t copy it now.

That being said, the Orks have two large gods in the Warp.

They will provide assistance to the orcs in the real universe, and the strongest will become the orc prophet chosen by God.

Combined with the orcs' characteristic that their adaptability will continue to increase as the war level increases.

Once the two sides engage in battle, it is likely that the outcome will not be a lose-lose situation.

When one side defeats the other, a winner-takes-all situation occurs.

Intuitively speaking, our strength is 2, and the strength of the two alien empires is 1.5.

If we defeat them one by one separately, the empire will suffer heavy losses, but there is still a possibility of victory.

When the opponent finishes, it basically becomes 3...

The orcs won. With the pigs as carriers and nutritional supplements, the orc gods could increase their investment in the real universe, and the orcs' body size could grow by several orders of magnitude.

If the Northern Alien Empire wins, the size of the pig beasts will be unimaginable.

It even took away the orcs' splitting speed, and the pig beasts really became a disaster.

We have to rely on the right time, right place, right people, luck, and the other side making mistakes to win."

The Emperor couldn't say that the pig beasts were eaten as pigs by the high-ranking officials of Zhendan because of their immortal cockroach characteristics and excellent taste.

Because the star gods and ancient saints needed to grow and develop and had huge appetites, Zhang Lingyou had to stipulate that they could only eat half at a time. He could cut up a few more pig beasts in one meal and could not swallow them all in one gulp, in order to seek sustainable development.

The name of the pig beast was hastily decided in this way.

But where can we find these guys now?

"…The hard power is too weak, there is no way to fight."

Horus frowned, unable to figure out how to fight. The Empire was no match for the enemy in terms of quantity, quality, or high-end combat power. It was a losing battle.

“Use time to gain advantage, gather all the Primarchs, kill the Orcs first, then destroy Randan.

Divide into small groups and block the enemy at different distances, not seeking victory but only to delay them.

Kill the orc emperor, destroy their heritage, and then go back to quell the threat from the north."

The Emperor's plan silenced Fulgrim's words.

Brothers who often fight against the Eldar know that although this race is beastly, they can really switch camps in an instant and do not hold grudges when cooperating.

As for what they will do after achieving their set goals, don't worry about it.

Finus shook his head slightly, bean sprouts had a very bad reputation.

Sanguinius was thinking about talking to the Emperor when he had time to see if he could recruit the powerful alien creatures, the Necrons.

Their Gauss weapons are extremely powerful. If the Empire can obtain them, its strength will surely be greatly enhanced.

. . . .

World Monitoring Station

Miaoying looked at Horus and his face darkened. No wonder the master was so concerned about his hair at that time...

However, the Emperor was not wrong about his concerns about the pig beasts.

After combining with the orcs, they can also spray sparks, land to reproduce, and form their own racial energy network.

But it’s better that way, as the vitality is stronger, and it can support the overall absorption and joy, and restore energy very efficiently.
