Chapter 9 Unyielding Battle

   Those who can speak have participated in this meeting called by Guilliman.

  Chapter leader Calgar, as well as the company commanders of the various chapters, saints, mechanical sages, etc., all gathered in the council hall of Hera Fortress where Guilliman was.

  The history of this fortress is very old. It existed 10,000 years ago and has witnessed many extraordinary histories.

  Thinking back to the time when Horus rebelled, subspace storms raged, the communication between various star fields was cut off, the emperor was trapped in Terra, and many loyal armies were leaderless.

  The Primarchs of the three major legions gathered here to discuss the fate of the future of mankind.

  Suddenly, ten thousand years have passed during that time.

  Everything has changed.

  The long ten thousand years took away many things and also brought many things.

  Traces left by many invaders can still be vaguely seen on the Hera Fortress.

   Tyranids, green-skinned orcs, and chaos have all invaded here.

   As an important defensive location of Macragge, Hera Fortress will be listed as a key attack target by the enemy every time.

   Not long ago, this place was also listed as a target that must be destroyed by the Chaos army, and a large number of cultists, Chaos warriors, and demons were sent to invade this place.

  When Guilliman woke up, the Chaos army had already reached the inside of the fortress, which was full of ruins and corpses.

   Now, the place has been almost repaired, and the corpses have been moved away.

  The broken marble columns and floors were replaced, and the broken streets were repaired.

   The Thinker computer, used for tactical projection and data storage, was replaced with several brand new wetware, bringing it back to normal operation.

  Guilliman looked around at the many heroes of the empire. If he hadn't been the emperor's son-primarch, no one would have the ability to gather so many high-level figures.

  Everyone here has the right to independently deploy and command the imperial fleet.

  One word from them can determine the future of millions of human beings, obliterating those planets and individuals that they think will pose a threat to human survival.

  Everyone here has courage, strategy, overall awareness, infinite love for mankind, and infinite loyalty to the empire, and will sacrifice others and himself without hesitation for the continuation of the empire and the survival of mankind.

  In the center of the council hall is an oval table. The mechanical equipment inside hums softly as everyone sits down. One after another, a tactical projection appears in the air, suspended in the air.

  These projections show the current threats to the Ultimate Starfield.

  The Cadia Fortress has collapsed, and the Great Rift has affected this place.

   Demons and aliens are raging on the human planet.

  The people of the Empire who live in fear are in desperate need of salvation.

  Besides everyone, mechanical priests and mechanical slaves in dirty red robes were walking back and forth, maintaining the thinker computer and various mechanical equipment used in the hall.
