In fact, in the Maelstrom region of the Empire, the largest civil strife among Space Marines since the Horus Heresy is breaking out in the Badab sector. Several Separatists, led by the Astral Claws Chapter, are fighting in Badab.
A rebellion has broken out in the sector, and the empire has dispatched several battle groups to quell the rebellion.
At this time, a large number of space warriors are gathering towards the home stars of their respective parent groups. If something happens, it will greatly shake the rule of the empire, and the harm will not be much lower than the Horus Heresy.
Faced with such a dangerous possibility, Chapter Master Calgar was so worried that he could hardly sleep. Although for Space Marines, even fighting without sleep for a whole week was not a problem, Chapter Master Calgar had trouble sleeping and eating.
It still made the atmosphere on Macragge become solemn.
This atmosphere undoubtedly affected other war groups that were gradually gathering. They also felt the gradually gathering tense atmosphere. Each war group went to Macragge to pay homage to Robert Kiri who was sitting in the stasis field.
After Man's dying body, they all returned to their respective strike cruisers or battle carriers and put on alert posture.
The situation seems to have become tense, and the patience of each battle group is beginning to wear out as they wait, and some people even start to worry about whether their guns will go off.
After all, although each chapter is nominally a sub-group of the Ultramarines, the time gap between the establishment of each chapter is quite large. The earliest sub-group can even be traced back to the first "secondary founding" after the Great Rebellion!
Some battle groups have been established in the M32 era, and some have been established since the M35, later M37 or even M39 era. This has resulted in the fact that the various battle groups are not so familiar with each other.
There were also frictions.
Originally, everyone had received news from the Blood Angels this time, saying that the original body might be coming back, and that each war group would gather on the home planet of their respective mother groups. They all happily looked forward to being able to reappear under the leadership of the original body.
The empire is glorious.
But now they have gone through untold hardships, many battle groups have paid the price of blood, and several battle groups have even fallen into the star sea, and finally arrived at Macragge, but what greets them is not the returning Primarch, but
The precautions and suspicions undoubtedly made all the war groups feel chilled, and also brought the originally warm atmosphere among the war groups to a freezing point.
Although there won't be an immediate fight, it is obvious that each war group cannot visit each other for banquets like before.
This undoubtedly deepened Calgar's headache and made him feel that the situation was increasingly uncontrollable.
Although in order to resolve the suspicion and preparedness between the various chapters, he tried to send space warriors from the Ultramarines Chapter to each chapter to comfort and communicate with each other, trying to ease the tense atmosphere between the various chapters, but with little success.
The effect is not ideal.
In such a predicament, Calgar could not directly tell each war group to return to their original places. He could only suppress the situation in the current predicament and try to prevent the situation from escalating.
In such a situation, he suddenly received a report from the border of the Ultramar sector. Two huge fleets were entering the Ultramar sector and heading towards Macragge.
The flags of the fleet are Blood Angels and Space Wolves.
Among the two fleets, the Space Wolves' fleet is not very large. As the only founding war group without sub-groups, the Space Wolves' size still maintains the tradition and does not follow the regulations of the Holy Code.
But their number is still not large, and the fleet they assembled is also small.
But the Blood Angels are different. They have assembled a fleet that is almost one-third the size of the Space Marines currently gathered on Macragge.
This is undoubtedly a very large fleet that far exceeds the scale of the Blood Angels themselves. According to reports, the frontline outposts even saw the emblems of almost all the Blood Angels sub-groups.
Obviously, the Blood Angels, whose sub-group was not as large as the Ultramarines, had already brought everyone to Macragge after completing their assembly.
It stands to reason that the arrival of these two battle groups at this time will undoubtedly make the situation more complicated, but Calgar himself couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because he knows that with the arrival of the Blood Angels and Space Wolves, the situation has changed. At least he can find a way to break the situation, instead of the previous war groups who could only continue to deepen suspicion and make the situation tense.
And more importantly, all the war groups are gathering to their respective home planets to wait for the news of the return of the original body. The Blood Angels have come out. Now that they have obviously completed the assembly, at least they can ask for this news.
statement.
If the news is false, Calgar would have a legitimate reason to send each Chapter back to their respective bases instead of continuing to stay in Macragge.
And if it is true, even though Calgar himself does not believe this news, but if it is true, what else can compare to being able to fight for the Empire under the leadership of the original body again?
With this idea in mind, Calgar approved the request of two fleets to enter the Ultramarines defense zone and come to Macragge.
Something happened that made Calga feel numb.
A huge Necron-style battleship suddenly appeared directly in orbit above Macragge, along with an equally large Necron fleet.
Although the size of this fleet could not be said to be particularly large, the Necron giant ship at the head still made Calgar feel his heart skip a beat because it was so big!
The last time he heard about something as big as the Necrons was a sighting report on a certain Eldar craft world.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of a fleet that looked like it belonged to the Empire along with this Necron fleet, I'm afraid he would have sounded the battle alarm and let the Space Marines in orbit launch an attack.
But even so, he still put everyone on alert to prevent possible problems.
But soon, he no longer had to worry about this problem, because a communication was sent from the fleet belonging to the empire, asking Macragge to prepare for the reception.
Because the supreme commander of this fleet, the Primarch of the White Scars Legion of the 5th Legion of the Empire, the War Eagle of Chogoris, and the Lord of the Ice Blue Sky, Jaghatai Khan, is about to join his brother, the Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion of the Thirteenth Legion of the Empire.
, met with Robert Guilliman, Lord of Macragge.
This communication undoubtedly shocked the entire Macragge, not only because this communication was broadcast on all channels, but also because this was the first time that the Primarch appeared in the Empire's territory since the Great Rebellion.
