The next step

After two solar days of rest and recovery, the governor aiding in maintaining order and rebuilding whilst the Primarchs and their warriors gathered their strength for the next phase of their campaign. Guilliman knew that the battles ahead would be just as demanding as the ones they had already faced.

In the heart of the fortified command center, Guilliman called a council with Horus, Lion El'Jonson, and Vulkan. The room was a blend of old and new, with ancient relics adorning the walls and advanced technology humming quietly. In the center stood a large, holographic map of the Ultramar system. Half of the map was covered in a malevolent red hue, signifying the influence of Chaos.

Guilliman: (Activating the holographic map) "Brothers, our victory here is only the beginning. We must decide which world to liberate next. As you can see, Chaos holds a strong grip on much of Ultramar."

Horus: (Gazing at the map with a mixture of determination and regret) "The New Eye of Terror in the Sol system has cast a long shadow. I never intended for this to happen."

Lion El'Jonson: (Placing a hand on Horus' shoulder) "We cannot change the past, Horus. What matters now is our resolve to undo the damage and restore order."

Vulkan: (Nodding in agreement) "Our unity is our greatest strength. Together, we can reclaim these worlds and bring hope back to the people of Ultramar."

Guilliman: (Pointing to several key planets on the map) "We have received reports of heavy Chaos presence on Macragge, Talassar, and Calth. These worlds are crucial to our strategic position. I propose we focus our efforts on liberating Macragge first, as it is the heart of the Ultramar system."

Horus: (Clenching his fist) "Macragge must be freed. It was once a symbol of strength and stability. We cannot allow it to remain under Chaos control."

Lion El'Jonson: (Studying the map) "If we secure Macragge, it will serve as a rallying point for our forces and a beacon of hope for the entire system."

Vulkan: (Looking to Guilliman) "Then it is decided. We will prepare our forces and strike at Macragge with all our might."

As they finalized their plans, Horus took a moment to reflect on the weight of his past actions. The regret in his eyes was evident, but so too was his determination to atone for his mistakes.

Horus: (Softly) "I will fight with everything I have to make things right. For the Emperor, and for the Imperium."

Guilliman: (Firmly) "We all will, Horus. Our bond as brothers will see us through these dark times."

With their path set, the Primarchs and their forces began preparations for the next battle. The liberation of Macragge would be a pivotal moment in their campaign, and they knew that the challenges ahead would test their strength and unity. But their resolve was unbreakable, and they would fight until Ultramar was free from the grip of Chaos.
