Warhammer 40k: Terra Collector

As the commander of the naval fortress, Imperial Admiral Colonus von Ravensburg had already been waiting at the docking station of the starport.

The admiral had already made sufficient mental preparations for meeting the Golden Legion! But when the hatch of the Emperor's Eye opened, Ravensburg was inevitably stunned.

The imperial guards, as strong as towers, filed out of the cabin one after another, and the silent imperial guards lined up on both sides of the passage! They held the guard spears in their hands in front of their chests, welcoming the arrival of someone with the most respectful attitude.

As the Emperor's personal guard, the Golden Legion is only responsible to the great Lord of Mankind! Apart from the Emperor who has already ascended the Golden Throne, the Admiral really can't think of anyone else who deserves such treatment from the Imperial Guard.

Soon, the look on the Admiral's face changed from confusion to shock.

At this moment, the deck of the Navy Fortress was shaking slightly! Surrounded by the Imperial Guards, a giant wearing golden armor and holding the Emperor's Sword came to the Admiral.

"The Emperor!" exclaimed the Admiral.

As a graduate of the [Loyalty Academy], the person Ravensburg is most familiar with is the great Emperor.

Gawain's face was completely different from the Emperor's! But the Admiral could sense some of the Lord of Mankind's shadow from this giant surrounded by the Imperial Guards.

After the explanation of Shield Captain Valerian, Ravensburg had learned the identity of the Primarch.

Compared to a son of the Emperor who returned to the Empire, the High Lords Council on Terra was nothing but a pile of shit! Witnessed by the Guards and the Living Saints, the Admiral pledged his loyalty to the Primarch.

Procedurally, this behavior is a betrayal of the Terran High Lords Council! But the Admiral doesn't care. After all... who can refuse to be loyal to a great Primarch?

The arrival of a Primarch has made the entire naval fortress excited! Since the Horus Heresy, the Empire has spent a full ten thousand years in darkness and madness.

The short-sighted and narrow-minded High Lords are simply unable to guide the Empire forward, and the ignorant and dark state religion is a bunch of termites! In such a situation, the return of an emperor's own son will bring long-lost light to the Empire.

The Navy Fortress gladly accepted the request to temporarily accommodate the "Hand of Darkness".

The forbidden field containing the [Hand of Darkness] was escorted by the Imperial Guard to the core area of ​​the Navy Fortress! Along with the Hand of Darkness, a cyclone torpedo used to execute the extermination order was also contained.

The existence of the Dark Hand concerns the future of the empire, and the admiral is very clear about this! In the event that the naval fortress is breached by the betrayers, Ravensburg will not hesitate to detonate the cyclone torpedo.

Even if an entire naval fortress is destroyed, even if the precious lives of millions of Imperial soldiers are sacrificed, the Hand of Darkness must not fall into the hands of the betrayers.

But the loyalists did not expect that Chaos Warmaster Abaddon had already abandoned the Hand of Darkness.

From the future revealed by the cursed prophet Moriana, Abaddon saw another possibility to seize the Blackstone Fortress! Although this method can only barely control a Blackstone Fortress, it is enough for the Chaos Warmaster's plan! Under

the will of the Great Plunderer, the traitors who fell into Chaos created countless horrific sacrifices and massacres on the imperial world on the edge of the star zone.

The intense emotions of the empire's people before their death tore apart the veil between reality and illusion, and aroused a lasting echo in the cold sky.

The barrier between the physical universe and the sea of ​​souls was constantly weakened, and reality disintegration continued to appear in every corner of the Gothic Sector! Some remote imperial worlds even became a paradise for demons within a few hours.

Finally, after a sacrifice of billions of lives, an ugly warp rift opened across the physical universe.

Through this warp rift, the Betrayer can bypass the fortress world of Cadia and descend into the physical universe unhindered.

At this point, the Chaos Warmaster's grand plan has been half successful! Next, Abaddon only needs to send the Eye of Night into the core of a Blackstone Fortress, and he will have completely completed all preparations before overthrowing the Empire.

The betrayer's conspiracy is approaching quietly, and the Chaos Warmaster thinks everything is perfect! But just as the betrayer has the blessing of the gods, the loyalists also have the protection from the Emperor.

The great Lord of Mankind sits high in the sky. Even in this dark and crazy fortieth millennium, the Emperor's eyes have never left his own race.

Faced with this conspiracy that could subvert the entire Empire, the Great Emperor revealed his will to the Primarch.

From the Emperor's divine revelation, the Primarch saw the Chaos Warmaster's target - Blackstone V Fortress in the southern Gothic Sector.

The controller of Blackstone Fortress, the Hand of Darkness, is still firmly in the hands of the Empire! Without the controller, Blackstone Fortress is at best just a few relatively solid fortresses.

The Chaos Warmaster would not go to great lengths to build a few useless fortresses! According to the Primarch's guess, Abaddon must have found some new way to control the Blackstone Fortress.

Whatever Abaddon's purpose, the Empire cannot allow any of the Blackstone Fortress to fall into traitorous hands.

Admiral Ravensburg would personally lead the Gothic Fleet to accompany the Primarch, while Celestine and the Custodes would take over the Admiral's duties of providing defense for the fortress.

Under the will of the Primarch, a massive Imperial fleet left the starport! They will bring with them the great wrath of the Emperor... and bring down divine punishment on all the betrayers.

…

Blackstone V Fortress in the southern Gothic Sector.

Three Terran days ago, a massive Chaos fleet appeared without warning in the space surrounding Blackrock Fortress V.

The flagship of this fleet is a Glorious Queen-class battleship from the Great Crusade - Endurance!

It once belonged to the glorious Fourteenth Legion, but after ten thousand years of Nurgle's corruption, the battleship had long since become a garbage dump filled with filth and dirt.

As soon as they appeared, the Endurance and the Chaos Fleet launched a fierce attack on the Blackstone Fortress.

The main gun of the Queen of Glory class battleship suddenly fired, and then... the sky full of light spears and macro cannons intertwined and converged! The hot melt rays containing terrifying high temperatures fell like raindrops.

The light of the macro cannon and the rays bloomed like flowers of death in the cold universe! Such dazzling light even briefly illuminated the dark galaxy!

The first round of concentrated fire from the Chaos Fleet output enough firepower to destroy a planet! Almost in an instant, the dense firepower overloaded the Blackstone Fortress's void shield defense system.
