Chapter 842

No, no, no, that's not how you should evaluate him. The Emperor, he is a wise, martial, and absolute idiot!

A short-sighted fool! A blind man who claims to foresee everything! A mute who talks too much! A reckless brute who thinks he's wise and brave! A naive, childish tyrant! A cruel, arrogant man-child!

In short, twisted!

Back on the twisted planet, in the twisted tribe of the Stone Age, a twisted Emperor born from the fusion and reincarnation of a group of twisted shamans!

And his children, aside from having tragic origins, are also a bunch of twisted monsters!

And most importantly, the Emperor seems to have failed to understand one truth: these powerful Primarchs never seemed to view themselves as human.

What does the life or death of humanity have to do with them?

【

Every Primarch is sensitive; the Emperor knows this clearly, yet he did not resolve it.

Just as he had anticipated, he had long foreseen that half of the Primarchs would rebel, but he believed he could resolve it all!

It was just that, to the Emperor's surprise, Horus, whom he had accompanied for thirty years and trusted and favored the most, also rebelled.

Now the rebel forces have grown to an unprecedented scale, but it is not enough!

Horus, clearly understanding the strength of each Legion, knew that the First Legion (Dark Angels), the Thirteenth Legion (Ultramarines), and the Ninth Legion (Blood Angels), along with their Primarchs, were the most powerful and loyal!

They would never betray the Emperor, so Horus sent these three Legions to remote star systems to carry out missions.

Horus's presence was oppressive and terrifying; his eyes seemed to burn with rage—that was hatred for the False Emperor and a desire to save the future of humanity!

"Humanity has been deceived by that False Emperor for too long; now it is time for the truth to surface!"

Horus pointed his hand toward a remote star system; he had prepared everything there for the Loyalists!

An unprecedented war was about to sweep across the planet Isstvan III!

A rebellion broke out on Isstvan III; the Planetary Governor openly opposed the Imperial Truth and spread the philosophy of the True Gods of Chaos!

Horus immediately dispatched four Legions, including his own, to the planet to suppress the rebellion!

The four Legions were the Death Guard, the World Eaters, the Sons of Horus, and the Emperor's Children, who had followed the Emperor in battle for hundreds of years and were absolutely loyal!

Horus's goal was simple: to wipe out all the Loyalists within the four Legions!

Horus succeeded; no one would have thought that the Warmaster of the Empire had betrayed them.

Hundreds of thousands of loyal Space Marines, after defeating the rebels, called for the Warmaster but received no reply; all that greeted them were weapons of mass destruction.

A massive number of virus bombs fell, covering the entire surface within minutes; everything on the surface began to turn into a pool of sludge—trees, mountains, vegetation, along with the eight billion humans on this planet.

They turned into sludge and released a flammable gas!

Under the bombardment of orbital cannons, the entire planet began to burn fiercely!

The Loyalist soldiers were the same; having defended the glory of the Empire, even in the last second as their flesh melted, they never imagined that the pride of the Empire, Warmaster Horus, had betrayed them!

But on the fleet in space, some individuals had long realized that something was wrong, so they reacted in advance and saved a portion of the Astartes warriors!

Captain Garro broke away from the fleet and desperately headed back toward Terra; he had to tell the Emperor of this abominable betrayal!

The virus release ended, the planet burned to a crisp; the once beautiful and rich planet had now turned into a doomsday hell shrouded in scarlet.

Except for the Astartes soldiers, there were no other signs of life on this planet.

When the remaining tens of thousands of Astartes soldiers looked at this desolate scene, they felt unprecedented rage in their hearts!!!

What a hideous betrayal!

Their Primarch, their brothers and comrades had betrayed them, betrayed the Emperor!!!

Looking at the burning warships in the sky, the Loyalists swore that even if they bled their last drop of blood, they would make these abominable traitors pay the price!

Horus had wanted to continue the bombardment to directly eliminate the remaining soldiers, but the brutal Angron could no longer restrain himself and rushed to the surface, leading his Legion to slaughter!

"Damn it!", Horus roared, but he could not abandon this brother now; the four rebel armies charged toward the surface!

Gunfire, blood, loyalty, betrayal...

"Loyalty!!! Loyalty!!! Loyalty!!!"

"For the Imperium of Man!!!"

Holding onto glory in despair, shining with loyalty in betrayal!

"Traitors! You don't even dare to look directly into my rage! For the Imperium! For the Emperor! Kill!!!"

The roar faded, and after the last Loyalist fell, the battle that had lasted for three months finally came to an end at this moment.

Mutilated corpses and blood covered the entire battlefield, and the thick, lingering stench of blood permeated every corner of the air; this cruel campaign was declared over.

This was a battle with a predetermined outcome, but the loyal warriors burned their last bit of life to make the rebels pay a bloody price!

【Coby: "Woooooo! Over a hundred thousand Space Marines, dead, they are all dead, and they were all killed by their own fathers and brothers!"】

【Akainu: "What are you crying about, you brat! They did not betray until the very end; they were loyal, and even more glorious!!!"】

【Kagaya Ubuyashiki: "Loyalty forged in blood and tears, bones paving the way forward; even if their souls return to the long night, they do not fail the glory of a warrior—what loyalty!"】

【Ye Fan: "Loyalty is a solitary path toward death; glory only echoes on the other shore."】

【Cao Cao: "Remains cast into a monument, loyalty and righteousness never die!"】

【Horus: "I... what have I done? Why did it come to this? Why did it turn out like this! Ahhhhhhh!"】

【Lorgar: "Can't handle this already? It won't be too late to blame yourself after seeing what comes next, because Horus, as the Warmaster of Chaos, you have never disappointed us."】

Chapter 476: The Inherently Evil Four Gods of Chaos! Stellaris: Ascension must be the Crisis Ascension! What a hideous betrayal!

【

The Loyalists not only weakened the rebel forces but also delayed Horus's plan.

And Horus received bad news: Primarch Fulgrim had wanted to persuade his good brother Ferrus Ma Nusi to rebel together, but the loyal Iron Hands angrily rejected him and launched an attack!

Horus immediately felt that something was wrong; he couldn't help but curse Fulgrim the fool in his heart! Ferrus Ma Nusi was absolutely loyal to the Emperor; how could Fulgrim be so foolish as to try to persuade him!

Now the Empire likely already knew the news of their rebellion; fortunately, the Emperor was already bound to the Throne; if the Emperor left, the Warp would tear Terra apart!

So the person coming would definitely not be the Emperor; Horus guessed that excluding the three Legions Sanguinius had been sent to remote areas to carry out missions, the most suitable person on Terra now should be the Primarch of the Imperial Fists, Dorn!

And things went exactly as Horus expected; after the Emperor was completely bound, he ordered Malcador and Dorn to be responsible for the operation of the Empire.

After Dorn received this news, rage also ignited in his heart; Horus and his brothers had actually betrayed the Empire and betrayed the Emperor!!!

The information that could not be transmitted due to the Warp storms was now transmitted again, and he contacted seven Primarch Legions!

Although the ruler Malcador realized that something was wrong, he couldn't put his finger on it; besides, the Empire's primary task now was to eliminate the rebels.

Dorn immediately ordered the seven Legions along with their Primarchs to head to Isstvan to annihilate the traitors!

But what Dorn and the entire Empire did not know was that what they thought was seven against four was already three against eight!

With absolute information asymmetry, Horus was wantonly playing with his brothers.

Soon, the three Loyalist Legions arrived first: they were the Salamanders, the Raven Guard, and the Iron Hands!

They soon discovered the defensive barriers built by the rebels on the planet Isstvan V!

The angry Primarchs, after confirming the news that the four brother Legions would arrive soon, first cleansed the entire surface with orbital cannons!

But the Loyalist forces also knew that the main rebel force had survived thanks to the defensive barriers.

The three Primarchs immediately deployed troops to descend to the surface!

For a warrior, battle is glorious! The rage toward the rebels was even more unbearable!

Every Space Marine, carrying unsuppressible rage, turned into roaring gunfire and pierced through the chests of every rebel!

The cold-glinting chainswords turned into meat grinders, viciously hacking the rebels into pieces!

Even if they burned their last drop of blood, the Loyalists would cut off their heads!

Betrayal! An absolutely unbearable betrayal!

In just a few hours, blood stained the land; amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, the roaring warriors held chainaxes and turned into killing machines!

Any tactics lost their meaning in the face of this most direct frontal slaughter; they were just desperately trying to kill each other!

A single Legion could conquer a civilization, yet on this land, the corpses of Space Marines were piled up.

At this moment, the Loyalist side also fell into a stalemate; this was originally a three-against-four battle, and although the enemy Primarchs had not appeared, the war fire vented by the rebels temporarily leveled this gap.

However, their brothers had arrived.

Above the clouds, the roaring flames of the warship engines tore through the ash and dust shrouding the planet!

The rebels and the Loyalists simultaneously had this thought.

【Sengoku: "What a shameful betrayal! This is destined to be a war that is about to fail!"】
