Chapter 258 Ferrus and Fulgrim

Creed's headquarters was also bombed by Chaos.

Looking at the soldier lying on the ground, Creed just glanced at him.

A soldier wearing a medical combat uniform came over to check and found that the nano-therapy gun could not bring the dead back to life.

The medic shook his head at Creed...

"Let's just cremate them to prevent Chaos from using their bodies."

The burning bonfires on the battlefield were filled with the bodies of Cadian warriors, who were burned together with other supporting Astra Militarum soldiers.

Now there is no energy left to distinguish their identities and origins.

All the Cadians could do was to separate the bodies of the loyalists from those of the traitors.

The ashes of the loyalists will remain on Cadia and will forever merge with this land.

The smell of burning corpses permeated the Black Stone Plain.

The cigar in Creed's mouth continued to burn, and the smell of smoke offset the stench of corpse in the air.

At the table, cups of Reka coffee mixed with spirit-boosting chemicals were placed aside to ensure that Creed could always stay energetic.

He kept looking at the markings on the tactical map in front of him, and orders were continuously issued.

However, the infantry regiments on the map were still being eliminated in an organized manner.

The chess pieces were pushed down one after another.

The demon army is not something that mortals should have to face.

Creed was thankful for the existence of the combat suit, otherwise the situation would be even worse. With the combat suit and other equipment, he still had room for tactical adjustments and counterattacks.

Ground was constantly changing hands between loyalists and traitors.

Those demon primarchs are breaking through layer after layer of defense from the three lines of defense at an extremely fast speed.

He kept calculating the amount of force he could still mobilize.

But it was not all bad news. Communications from the Bastion defense line let him know that there was no danger there, but the resistance of the Chaos Titans and most of Abaddon's troops still had the power to resist.

At least we don't have to worry about the enemies there coming to reinforce, nor do we have to worry about the safety of the planetary shield.

And underground in Black Stone, Kohl was already carrying out the final debugging.

"Two... two hours at most, they will completely break through our defenses..."

Creed calculated how long he could hold out. This was definitely the most dangerous moment he had ever experienced in his life.

He looked at the Black Templar Marshal Amaritch standing beside him and said.

"Marshal... I need you to lead your warriors to buy time at all costs... I will let the battle sisters and all the troops cooperate with you, you need to stop those demon primarchs."

"We will do the same without you telling us."

Amaritch didn't think he could really stop those demon primarchs. Perhaps this time he and his brothers in the chapter would die here.

Their destiny was to die on the battlefield.

The Black Templars are one of the most active chapters in the Empire. If the entire Black Templars were gathered together.

Their numbers would be very formidable, with the number of "Black Orcs" reaching thousands or even nearly ten thousand. Even these Demon Primarchs would have to think twice. Unfortunately, time is too tight and there is simply not enough time to summon the chapter members scattered across the galaxy.

But before Amarich could gather his troops, Creed stopped him.

"Marshal! Wait! Something's happening!"

Amarich also came to the tactical map.

On the tactical map, the signals representing the three demon primarchs were all stagnant.

The enemy that was advancing almost every second came in and stopped attacking?

It seemed as if something was blocking them and preventing them from moving forward any further.

And reports were also sent in from the soldiers on the front line.

"Master Guilliman, have they stopped the attack of the Chaos Primarch? Great! The great Primarch has also arrived on Cadia! Wait... say it again! What did you see?"

Amaritch also looked at Creed, wondering how this mortal who had always remained calm could have such a big reaction.

"Creeder, what happened on the front line?"

But before Creed could reply, the Black Templar at the front line also sent back a message.

Creed and Amaritch looked at each other, both of them looked incredulous.

They all received the information at almost the same time.

Another Primarch has appeared on Cadia?

Their first thought was to the other traitor Primarchs.

However, when the front line risked their lives to transmit the images back to the headquarters, they discovered an even more incredible situation.

A being who looked exactly like Ferrus appeared.

If the sleeping Guilliman wakes up, they can understand and accept it.

Or maybe other missing Primarchs saw the Empire in danger and returned to save the Empire, just like Primarch Vulkan did during the Beast War against the Orks.

After all, those primarchs were simply missing.

However, the appearance of Ferrus, the Primarch of the Iron Hands who had been confirmed dead, made the two men feel that the alarm from the front line was a false alarm.

He was completely dead, his head was chopped off, so where did Ferrus come from?

His death is almost universally acknowledged, and more than one original chapter witnessed the death of Ferrus!

Ordinary people don't know, but how could Amarachi not know Ferrus?

At this time, Ferrus had already reached the position attacked by Fulgrim.

Karax activated all the Purifiers that had been built.

2,000 Purifiers were now standing behind Ferrus.

There are not only mechanized Templars, but also some unmanned Immortals.

"Two hours... The Sun Core can only support my body to leave the Spear of Adun and fight at full strength for two hours... But it should be enough!"

Thinking back to the reminder Karax gave him.

The stronger the body, the more energy it consumes, and fighting will further increase energy consumption.

This body, which is a fusion of hundreds of Purifiers, consumes a hundred times more energy.

The Cadian soldiers on the position also stopped shooting, and the Emperor's Children on the opposite side also stopped attacking.

There was an eerie silence on the battlefield at this moment.

The Slaanesh daemons wanted to continue their attack, but were stopped by Fulgrim's roar.

Swinging his snake tail... Fugen came to the front.

Seeing Ferrus really appear in front of him, Fulgrim's eyes suddenly became clear...

"Ferus...is that really you?"

Fugen couldn't believe what he saw.

"Fulgrim, you traitor, look what you have done!"

After a while, when Ferrus saw Fulgrim, his betrayed brother again, he questioned him again.

His tone was filled with uncontrollable anger.

When the word "traitor" came out of Ferrus' mouth, Fulgrim's heart was filled with anger again.

"I've killed you... I chopped off your head myself, and I killed your clones... Why didn't you stand with me every time? We could have changed the world according to our own ideas.

What on earth is there for you to linger on in this corrupt empire? What on earth is there for you to follow in this hypocritical emperor?

He only deceives us! In his heart, there is no us, only the human beings he talks about.

We are obviously stronger and more perfect, and in our hands the empire will be incomparably more powerful."

Although Fugen didn't know why Ferrus could stand in front of him again, he still persuaded Ferrus to join him as he had persuaded Ferrus countless times before
