The fleet that fought out at the critical moment was the first legion of the Great Crusade era, the famous Loyal Green and Dark Angel Legion.
Although its Primarch did not return to lead the Legion again when the Primarchs returned to the Empire of Man last time, the huge Dark Angels Legion has not been forgotten by the Empire.
And even if Sanguinius temporarily forgot about his sleeping brother, Robert Guilliman, who could make detailed plans for every screw of an expedition, would not be able to forget this when the Empire's military strength was tense.
A powerful army.
You must know that during the Second Empire, the Lion King Leon Jonson once led the fleet of the First Legion directly to Macragge, and almost defeated the entire Ultramarines home planet when Guilliman established the Second Empire.
.
Of course, due to the friendly exchanges between the two Primarchs and a few wolf cubs jumping into the Lion King's face, the Dark Angels did not start the movie with the Ultramarines, but the Lion King and Guilliman roped in Sanguinius.
The Second Empire was formed.
During the Great Rebellion, Luther, the second-in-command of the Dark Angels and the Lion King's deputy, betrayed the Empire and led the Space Marines who were staying on the Dark Angels' home planet to rebel and fall into the embrace of Chaos.
Therefore, when the siege of Terra ended, Horus and the Emperor were killed and wounded, and when the Lion returned to his home planet with the Dark Angels Legion, he was attacked by the traitors.
Then a fierce battle broke out between the loyalists and the traitors.
In the end, when the Lion King and the traitor Luther had a final duel, a powerful subspace storm attacked the Dark Angels' home planet. It not only tore the entire planet into pieces, took Luther away, but also put the Lion King into a deep sleep.
among.
For the former First Legion, this was undoubtedly a very unspeakable secret.
So the Dark Angels established an inner circle that was extremely mysterious within the Legion, and began to do their best to cover up this secret.
This includes the pursuit of all the legion members who disappeared on the Dark Angels home planet across countless years and planets. These missing members are the fallen angels of the first legion.
And this tradition was even brought to the Dark Angels sub-groups one after another after Guilliman split the Legion, and each sub-group will obey the dispatch of the inner circle.
In a sense, it can even be said that the First Legion still retains the scale and style of the legion era, but on the surface it has been split into sub-regiments.
Of course, this situation is similar in many legions. For example, the Wolves just pretended to split up sub-legions, and after being destroyed, they did not care about the Codex Astartes written by Guilliman.
There are also cases like the Imperial Fists that have secretly formulated a final high wall agreement, and when necessary, all sub-legions can be summoned to rebuild the former legion.
So in a sense, each legion actually has a little secret.
Having digressed, let’s get back to the topic.
When Guilliman assembled a large number of troops in the Extreme Star Territory, he certainly thought of this powerful legion.
But the Dark Angels' style of suddenly doing their own thing without any care on the battlefield made Robert Guilliman not very confident about this legion.
Especially when the Primarchs returned to the Empire and the Lion King did not wake up, the entire Dark Angels Legion became even weirder.
Therefore, when the three Space Marine legions of the Empire have been assembled in the Ultramarine Star Territory, Robert Guilliman did not mobilize this legion. Instead, he stationed it at the original station like the Iron Hands Legion to maintain the Empire's
order.
But now, the human empire has reached a critical juncture, and there is a shortage of troops in all aspects. Naturally, the First Army cannot remain idle.
In fact, the two original legions that had also not returned were the Iron Hands and the Imperial Fists, which were also mobilized like them.
However, they did not rush to the front line of Cadia with the First Legion. At this moment, only the First Legion arrived on the battlefield.
But this is enough.
With the strong support of the First Legion, the Blackstone Fortress was completely destroyed, and with the addition of the First Legion, the Imperial Navy's battle line in space suddenly became much more stable.
At the same time, the great sage Caul, who was under the planet Cadia, finally completed the adjustment of the black stone obelisk. The remaining black stone obelisks on the surface of the entire planet Cadia were activated, and they were shaking.
It buzzed, and a large number of Necron runes appeared around it.
As these black stone obelisks were activated, a huge energy field quickly enveloped the entire planet of Cadia and the surrounding space.
All the Chaos Demons on the entire planet of Cadia were expelled from the real universe after this energy field unfolded. Even the powerful Chaos Demons suddenly became sluggish.
The Fallen Space Marines immediately lost the blessing of the Chaos power from the warp and became exhausted.
Especially like the Death Guard, as Nurgle's dependents, their bodies have long been rotten, swollen, and filled with a large number of viruses and plagues, and are full of maggots and flies. If it were not for the power and body from Nurgle, they would have already been infected with Nurgle.
The power armor fused into one body maintained their bodies, and I'm afraid they had already turned into a puddle of thick water.
At this moment, without the blessing of the chaotic power from the subspace, these rotten meat cans almost instantly lost their combat effectiveness, and they all withered to the ground.
The fact is that it is not just the Death Guard, the Black Legion, the Word Bearers and the Emperor's Children who have all experienced varying degrees of weakness. It is just that these war groups have relatively better preservation of their bodies, which makes them lose the support of subspace power.
Even at this time, he can still rely on his superhuman body to continue fighting.
But this is absolutely good news for the human empire.
Although this caused Celestine to lose the blessing of the Emperor's power, other mortal soldiers and Space Marines of the Empire could take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. After all, they were not affected by the power from the warp.
The commander who was commanding the Human Empire army at this moment did not miss this golden opportunity. He immediately ordered all the Imperial soldiers to launch a counterattack.
This order immediately played an extraordinary role on the battlefield. The Chaos army was not prepared to deal with this situation. It could be said that it was almost suppressed and beaten. In one fell swoop, the armies of the Human Empire regained the positions they had lost before.
, and further eliminate these minions of chaos and compress their activity space.
The Chaos fleet in space has also been affected. Although these battleships still operate with a technological structure, a large amount of chaos magic is still attached to these battleships.
Normally these chaotic sorcery would provide powerful blessings to these warships, but as the power of the black stone obelisk on Cartier unfolded, these warships also lost the power support from subspace.
Even the Eye of Terror has been affected and is shrinking visibly, as if it can be completely closed this time.
The Chaos Fleet, which had already lost its battlefield advantage due to the arrival of the Dark Angel Fleet, was immediately beaten back. They suddenly lost their battlefield advantage in space and had to retreat towards the Eye of Terror.
Of course Abaddon in the Blackstone Fortress was aware of all this, and he knew that this was the power of the Blackstone Obelisk.
This is exactly why he launched so many dark expeditions. The purpose of the previous twelve expeditions was to pull out the strongholds around Cadia and isolate them so that they could not receive timely reinforcements from the Human Empire.
At the same time, they are also preparing to capture the Blackstone Fortress and destroy the Blackstone Obelisk on Cadia.
If he hadn't been personally defeated by Crow King Corvus in the last battle, he could have completely destroyed the black stone obelisk on Cadia and let the subspace energy wave in the Eye of Terror surge towards the Human Empire.
And this time, he was only one step away from success.
This made Abaddon furious and even more frantic, wanting to seize every opportunity to achieve his goal.
Abaddon did not evacuate the gradually collapsing war fortress because of the destruction of Blackstone Fortress. Instead, he ordered the Chaos minions of the Dark Legion scattered on various fragments of Blackstone Fortress, as well as the retreating Chaos fleet, to return them.
All the controllable fragments of the Blackstone Fortress were pushed towards Cadia!
I have to say that this decision is absolutely crazy. You must know that among the shattered Blackstone Fortress fragments, only a very small part can be controlled, and most of them have no engines or are still running.
Pushing them to the surface of the planet of Cadia is not something that can be done just by talking about it. Even in the original storyline, Abaddon only installed an engine on the Blackstone Fortress after he had control of the air.
Pushed it to Cardia.
Now, trying to push the fragments of Blackstone Fortress to Cadia when there is nothing is tantamount to wishful thinking.
But Abaddon's madness became the only hope for the Chaos army to win in this war. After receiving Abaddon's order, the Chaos fleets that had been beaten and retreated started their engines one after another.
It reached its maximum size, and then crashed into the fragments of the Blackstone Fortress.
They are going to smash these fragments of the Black Stone Fortress onto the surface of the planet of Cadia!
Upon seeing this, the Dark Angel fleet immediately intercepted, and the Imperial Navy's warships were also not idle. They fired all the firepower they could, destroying the fragments of the Blackstone Fortress as much as possible, in order to destroy them all in Cadia.
Outside the planet's atmosphere.
However, in the end, there was still a large fragment of the Blackstone Fortress, enveloping a large number of battleship wreckage and other debris, and hit the surface of Cadia's planet like a ball of fireballs.
Although the Imperial fleet tried their best to intercept, they were still unable to destroy all the fragments before they fell.
After all, the Blackstone Fortress is so big that even if it is just fragments, it is very difficult to completely smash it with artillery fire.
As a result, an earth-shaking explosion occurred on the surface of Cadia's planet.
