When Cadia was bombarded by fire from space, deep beneath the planet's surface, Belisarius Cawl, the great sage of the Mechanicus, was studying the black stone obelisk in front of him.
For the Archmagos Belisarius Cawl, after he treated Robert Guilliman's injury, and allowed the Primaris Space Marines to join the military list and order of battle of the Human Empire, and provided a large number of new weapons
At that time, his status within the human empire also skyrocketed.
Although Belisarius Caul's seniority within the Mechanicum is quite old as a Mechanicus magus who has existed since the Great Crusade, he himself does not have many rights on Mars.
This has a lot to do with the school studied by Belisarius Caul and some of his own thoughts. Therefore, the Great Sage himself is not particularly powerful within the Martian Mechanicus.
Of course, the Great Sage himself did not care about power. For ten thousand years, he spent a lot of energy and time on researching and finding how to cure the Primarch and improve the Space Marines.
Therefore, usually the Great Sage drives his own forging ark, with the Skitarii and Mechanicum fleets loyal to him, traveling through the galaxy, searching for worlds that interest him in every world within the empire.
Lost technology.
Even now that the Primarch has returned to the Empire, his political status in the Empire has been significantly improved.
Compared to worldly power, the Great Sage still prefers technologies unknown to him.
This time, Belisarius Caul discovered a black stone obelisk while conducting an investigation on a planet. During his research, he discovered some clues that interested him very much. There seemed to be a huge and astonishing hidden in it.
's secret.
However, while the Great Sage was conducting his important research, the battle on the planet's surface and the Warmaster's bombing of the Blackstone Obelisk Towers seriously interfered with his work.
Belisarius Cawl had to order his fleet and skitarii to assist the Imperial soldiers on the planet in fighting, in order to buy himself more time to decipher the secrets of these obelisks.
But for Belisarius Caul and the soldiers of the Human Empire on Cadia, their time is running out.
On the frontal battlefield on the planet's surface, Crow King Corvus, with the assistance of the Living Saint Celestine, could only delay the progress of his three fallen brothers.
As one of the most outstanding martial artists among the brothers, Fulgrim's temperament changed drastically after he ascended to the devil, and his body also turned into a four-armed human snake, but his martial arts did not deteriorate at all.
Cobos must work hard to deal with the attack from Forgan.
If it hadn't been for the fallen Primarch who seemed to want to gain greater pleasure from playing with Covos, he might have lost one of his arms.
But even so, the magic sword in Fulgrim's hand that had cut off the head of the Primarch of the Iron Hands and cut the throat of the Primarch of the Ultramarines still added a new achievement. It pierced the chest of the Primarch of the Raven Guard.
A bloody wound was left.
For the Primarch, a wound of this degree was no big deal, but the curse on the magic sword in Fulgrim's hand was constantly disintegrating and eroding Corvos's will.
Just like Horus was corrupted and corrupted after being stabbed by a Chaos weapon, Fulgrim also hopes to corrupt Corvos in this way.
Compared to killing a loyal Primarch, letting a Primarch loyal to the Emperor fall into Chaos is something that would please the current Daemon Prince of Slaanesh even more.
But fortunately, Celestine, who has been fighting side by side with Covos, is indeed the emperor's living saint. She is exuding golden light all the time, and the power coming from the emperor himself is constantly dispelling the three demons on the battlefield.
The chaotic erosion caused by the fallen Primarch continued to heal Corvos's injuries.
It's just that the curse from the damage caused by the Demon Prince of Slaanesh is too strong. Unless Celestine concentrates on dispelling it with all his strength, it can only be suppressed for a while, but cannot be completely dispelled.
At this critical juncture, neither Covos nor Celestine could withdraw from the battlefield and could only continue fighting after controlling Covos's injuries.
They must hold back Fulgrim, Mortarion and Lorgar here, otherwise once any of them withdraws and goes to other battlefields, no one in Cadia can stop their attack at this moment.
Just like no one in the space orbit at this moment can stop Abaddon from seizing the Blackstone Fortress and launching an orbital bombardment against Cadia.
"If only a brother could come to support him..." Although it was not Cobos's character to say this, at this moment he really hoped that a brother could come to support him.
Even if there is only one more Primarch, as long as he cooperates with Celestine to contain the frontal battlefield, Cobos can use his incredible stealth ability to change the situation of this war, and even cooperate with his own brother to kill here.
Lorgar or Mortarion.
If one of the brothers like Leman Russ or Sanguinius comes who is good at fighting, Corvos may even be sure to keep Fulgrim as well.
However, among the Primarchs of the Empire, Sanguinius is currently stationed in Holy Terra, Jaghatai Khan is patrolling the Empire's territory, and Robert Guilliman, Leman Russ and Vulkan are gathering heavy troops on Ultramar.
The domain resisted the invasion of Tyranid swarms, and no Primarch could come to support Corvos.
Unless Sanguinius comes in person, or the Jaghatai Khan, the Empire's last mobile force, is mobilized, Corvos will not be able to receive sufficient reinforcements.
Originally, Covos hoped that he could delay the attack of these fallen brothers for a while, and at the same time asked for help from Holy Terra so that Jaghatai Khan could come over.
However, he had received news before that a huge white comet appeared at the border of the empire and was passing through the territory of the empire and plunging into Holy Terra. At this time, Chagatai Khan could only go up to it, but Covos
Only Celestine and the Battle Sisters led by her provided reinforcements.
Although whether they are living saints or battle sisters, they are the most loyal warriors of the empire, and their role on the battlefield is not inferior to that of Space Marines, but they are only mortals after all.
Even under the influence and inspiration of the Living Saint, each of them felt the power of the Emperor flowing through their bodies. They fought against the Chaos army with extremely firm will and determination to fight, always maintaining the battle line and never retreating.
But the casualties of the War Sisters are still gradually increasing.
And because Celestine had to assist Covos in the battle and lost the resurrection and treatment of the dead battle sisters by the Living Saint, they gradually began to run out of troops.
In this case, as long as Abaddon in space uses the Blackstone Fortress to knock down Cadia's planetary shield, he can send the troops on board the Chaos Fleet in space to the surface of Cadia to attack the human empire.
The defense line launched a fatal blow.
Although three fallen Space Marine legions are currently launching a large-scale attack on the surface of Cadia's planet, they are limited by Cadia's own planetary defense system and cannot launch a large-scale attack.
After all, only a handful of fallen Chaos Space Marines who have completed the ascension process and turned themselves into Chaos Demons have the essence of immortality and can be reborn in the subspace even if they are killed.
The vast majority of Chaos Space Marines will die completely if killed in the real world.
Therefore, the three fallen primarchs are not willing to use their elite veterans of the eternal war left over from the Great Crusade era to attack the defense line of the human empire.
They just sent out some new recruits who had been added after the Legion's fall, paired with demon wizards and a large number of subspace demons they summoned, and used simple human sea tactics to consume the effective strength and fighting will of the human empire's defense line.
This is also the main reason why Cadia has been able to hold on so far in the face of the attack of the Chaos army composed of four fallen Space Marine legions.
But once Cadia loses its planetary shield and the subspace teleportation of the Chaos army is no longer restricted, then the three fallen space warrior legions, veterans of the eternal war who are capable of destroying all defenses on the surface of the planet Cadia, will launch the most violent
attack, tearing apart the defense of the human empire.
Previous battles in space also revolved around Cadia's planetary defense system. The Imperial Navy's fleet relied on Cadia's orbital defense and the firepower of the Blackstone Fortress to always guard the defense line in space.
However, with the fall of the Blackstone Fortress, the Imperial Navy has gradually been unable to sustain its support. While continuously retreating, it also opened up the attack angle of the Cadian planetary shield.
Everything seems to be a foregone conclusion. As long as the Chaos fleet destroys Cadia's planetary shield, this most solid fortress of the human empire that has stood unshakable for tens of thousands of years will be captured by the Chaos army.
However, just when Abaddon was about to control the Blackstone Fortress to launch a new round of orbital bombardment against Cadia's planetary shield, the Blackstone Fortress suddenly came under an extremely violent attack.
During a violent shaking, Abaddon, who was in the Blackstone Fortress, was thrown to the ground by the violent impact. Even the servo of the Terminator power armor on his body could not keep him balanced.
This undoubtedly made Abaddon extremely angry in an instant. However, what made him even more angry, and also confused and frightened was that the huge Blackstone Fortress was losing gravity.
The weight of such a huge fortress alone is enough to produce a gravity effect, not to mention the gravity generator installed inside the Blackstone Fortress is enough to allow this huge fortress to maintain a standard gravity.
But now that the fortress has lost gravity, it can only be that the gravity generator has lost its function.
This is most likely because the gravity generator was attacked and destroyed, but another possibility is that the Blackstone Fortress was destroyed, and the part where Abaddon was located was breaking away from the main body of the Blackstone Fortress.
Either way is unacceptable to the Chaos Warmaster, but what he is most eager to find out now is what happened to the violent impact just now.
But in space, a huge fleet was sailing into the battlefield. On the flagship of this fleet, the emblem of a long sword with spread wings was clearly engraved on it.
