65: Chapter 65 On the Eve of the Battle of Baal

"Brothers, isn't this information reveal just too explosive?"

"Oh man, this is so intense! Brother Gao, hurry up and drop some more intel, this isn't enough, not nearly enough!"

On the other side, Ding! Does the host wish to view the new mission? The mission details will also be synchronized to the player channel.

Yang Gao's inner monologue: No way, another new mission so soon? I wanted to rest for a few days! Although he was grumbling internally, his face remained calm as he said, "View."

Mission unlocked.

Simultaneously, mission introductions appeared on the players' virtual panels.

"Brothers, there's a new map!"

"Finally, some new content to play! Brothers, charge, charge, charge!"

"Old Li, I won't be going easy on you this time!"

"Old Chen, likewise! Don't drop the ball like last time, and don't call me to help you get revenge then."

In the Battle of Baal, the scions of Sanguinius were facing their greatest crisis in history. Although the Leviathan Hive Fleet had suffered heavy losses in the Pluto Galaxy, its main force was still marching steadily and purposefully toward Baal at high speed.

Commander Dante issued a rallying cry to all successor Chapters sharing the bloodline of Sanguinius to jointly defend the homeworld of their Father of Genes, Sanguinius. Aside from the Angels Vermillion Chapter, who refused to support due to conflicts with the parent Chapter, the Lamenters Chapter also refused to reinforce because of their losses prior to the Battle of Baal—the 'Battle of Slaughterhouse III' during the Corinth Crusade and the Battle of Malvolion had left them severely depleted. However, four companies from the Angels Vermillion Chapter still insisted on going to support, ignoring the restrictions.

"Brothers, it's an epic-scale gathering! This is going to be good!"

A total of 29,000 scions of Sanguinius gathered for this occasion, equipped with 21 Battle Barges (such as the 'Blade of Vengeance' and 'Wings of Retribution'), 94 Strike Cruisers (such as the 'Bloodied Sword' and 'Dawn's Blade'), and hundreds of escorts, with a total tonnage exceeding one billion tons.

The enemy they had to face was the the great devourer of the universe. A swarm of Tyranids driven by consumption, they had already destroyed countless planets and devoured infinite lives. They are eternal and never-ending.

After ten thousand years, the scions of Sanguinius had finally reintegrated from scattered Chapters back into a Legion capable of large-scale warfare. The battle they were about to face was beyond imagination, but the scions of the Archangel would surely show the enemy the meaning of glory.

"Brothers, this is way too cool!"

"With such a massive fleet, I think the Leviathan Hive is nothing special!"

To house this massive force, Commander Dante ordered the excavation of the Blood Angels Chapter monastery on Baal, which had long been buried beneath the desert sands. In the past, this massive fortress-monastery, the Fortress of Angels, was originally prepared for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the IX Legion during the Great Crusade era; it was also from here that the Primarch Sanguinius set out to lead his great army to conquer the galaxy.

On the other side of the Milky Way, a war capable of changing the entire landscape of the galaxy was also breaking out, but the scions of Sanguinius had no time to worry about anything else. At this moment, the only thing they could do was crush the Leviathan Hive Fleet and defend the homeworld of their Father of Genes, Sanguinius.

"Brothers, I'm getting fired up!"

"If nothing else, I must save Baal this time!"

But the Battle of Baal would not be smooth sailing. During the battle, the mortal enemies of the Blood Angels would take advantage of the Archangel's scions being occupied elsewhere to deliver a fatal blow.

However, at the same time, far on the other side of the galaxy, the Lord of Macragge and Father of Genes of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman, was leading the crumbling Imperium of Man to let its original light bloom once again in the cruel galaxy.
