Warhammer: Opening is a Crisis of Doom

Dante, who heard the voice, turned his head and looked over. It was Mephiston, the chief think tank of the Blood Angels.

Mephiston is one of the most powerful mortal psykers in the Imperium of Man, and indeed in the entire galaxy.

Known as the Lord of Death by the enemies of aliens and humans.

Like many descendants of Sanguinius, he is plagued by blood thirst and black anger.

During the Second War for Armageddon.

Mephiston's Death Company was deployed in Hades Hive.

They were ordered to launch an assault on a group of orcs entrenched in the state church building.

He and his berserk lunatic and vampire comrade-in-arms slaughtered in the orc front, and the scene was extremely brutal.

It may be that they are too crazy.

Eventually, the entire building collapsed, burying everyone.

Mephiston is the only survivor.

He was trapped in the ruins, pressed by a thousand-ton boulder, unable to move, tortured by blood thirst and black anger.

He's like a madman.

Roaring into the air for seven days and six nights.

There is a constant thirst for blood and death.

But he didn't die, he was just trapped like that.

Can't move.

Constantly repeating the hallucination of Sanguinius being killed by Horus.

until midnight on the seventh day.

Mephiston did something that no Blood Angels could ever do.

That is to overcome black anger and blood thirst.

It's not overcoming, it's just that the flood is restrained into the river.

He dug himself out of the space he was trapped in.

All the orcs who surrounded him were slaughtered.

Its madness made the fearless orcs panic and flee.

After that, he gained great psionic powers and the ability to soar freely in the Warp Supreme.

"How is the assembly going?" Dante asked, staring at Mephiston.

"At present, twenty-seven battle groups have arrived in the Baal galaxy. So far, a total of 15,000 holy blood children have been assembled. If it is estimated, the number of holy blood children that can be assembled in the end can reach 25,000. Every Holy Blood Warrior who comes here will be a cornerstone of our defense against the Leviathan."

Dante stroked the long spear in his hand, turned his head to look at the cold void, "Any news about our astropaths?"

Mephiston shook his head, his voice dry, "No, the shadow of the Zerg has enveloped the Baal galaxy, and the emergence of the Great Rift has blocked our connection with Terra. Those terrifying illusions are tormenting those with psychic potential with unprecedented intensity. People. Astropaths need to spend a lot of energy to ensure that they don't go crazy, even if they can send astronomical messages, they can't penetrate the terrifying darkness. Judging from the current situation, we are alone and helpless."

After a pause, Mephiston continued, "There is something very bad that I have to tell you."

Dante stared at Mephiston, waiting for him to say what it was.

"The servants of the blood god may also be eyeing us. The battle against the Leviathan Zerg fleet may be the battle where all the sons of Sanguinius were summoned after the Great Crusade of the sons of the Holy Blood Angels. This matter tempts them Too big. Our rage will draw the servants of the Throne of the Skull to the Baal system like flies to a dead body, and if they come, it will be disastrous."

"Blood God is the temptation of hunger, the catalyst of madness. If he shows up when we are focused on defending Barr, we will be at our angriest, most unrestrained state, and then we will end up in the end."

"If this is the case, the situation may be really bad." Dante under the mask of Sanguinius showed a bitter smile.

The arrival of the Zerg fleet and the message from Mephiston made the legendary hero of the empire feel stressed and tired.

The Great Devourer has devoured countless planets.

The Blood God stared at him again, which made him feel the crisis.

Will the sons of Sanguinius be able to defend the glory of their father.

All this is still an unknown.

The Zerg have proven their strength in countless battles.

The empire's victories so far have been few and far between.

The planets that encountered the Zerg fleet were either captured or destroyed by the extinction order.

There are really no victories in the frontal battlefield.

Murphyston did not respond, but remained silent, waiting for Dante to continue.

"I am very painful, Mephiston. I gave up going to the Cadian Fortress in order to protect the legacy of the lord. I missed the battle that could determine the future. There fell, and the chaotic power of the Eye of Terror gushed out. , tearing apart the entire galaxy, the torchlight of the sacred world can no longer guide us."

"At this moment, I am facing a battle that has no chance of winning. If I fail in Barr, then I should face Sanguinius head-on, and face the heroic spirits who have already died. I want to ask them Confess my failure and selfishness? I have failed both, the Emperor and Sanguinius."

At the end of the Battle of Hades, Dante met Sanguinius's herald, Sanguinor.

Every Holy Blood Warrior has heard the story of Sanguinor.

Sanguinor is the stand-in for Sanguinius.

It is a symbol of hope and courage.

When the Son of Sanguinius was in crisis, the herald appeared in golden armor, bringing hope to desperate mankind.

Of course, many people don't know that there is a dark background behind this legendary figure.

Dante has a unique identity.

He knew the origin of Sanguinor from ancient texts.

That terrible battle waged at Horus.

Several Primarchs who lost contact with Terra formed a brand new empire in Ultramar.

Sanguinius was chosen as emperor of the new empire.

It was a helpless move.

The Primarchs of the Loyalist had the survival of humanity in mind, as well as their great cause.

If Terra fell and the Emperor died, they would need a base where they could be ready to fight on.

Those traitors who betrayed humanity will stop at nothing to destroy this last hope of humanity.

The Primarch of the Night Lords, Curze, vowed to kill Sanguinius and destroy this small empire.

In order to protect their noble father, the emperor of this small human empire, the Holy Blood Guard selected two warriors who could act as Sanguinius' substitutes.

The two warriors walked into the secret room.

They choose who is the double through ancient rituals.

The moment the result came out, the Chosen One killed the Unchosen One.

The corpses were also burned in the flames.

No one knows who became Sanguinius' stand-in.

Because the chosen one also gave up his original name, took the name of Sanguinor, and disguised himself as Sanguinius.

Afterwards, the loyal Primarchs who received the news that the Emperor had not yet fallen chose to support Terra.

They tried their best to cross the destruction storm and came to the fallen Devon planet of Horus.

The planet Devon was the source of that terrifying warp storm.

In order to solve this storm, the three Primarchs went through different tests.

Sanguinius confronts the temptation and threat of the Eightfold Path and the Four Gods.

In order to allow his genetic father to escape, Sanguinor threw himself into the demon, and the demon disappeared into the warp.

There was no further news from Sanguinor during the subsequent campaign.

It was not until much later that this legendary figure was active throughout the empire like those living saints.

Whenever the children of the Blood Angels are in dire straits and suffer heavy losses in battle.

The mysterious warrior Sanguinor, known as the model of the Eucharist, will fall from the sky like a golden meteor and save the brothers from the fire and water.

Dante had served for thousands of years as Chapter Master of the Blood Angels, and was one of the few who had seen Sanguinor more than once.

After the Battle of Hades, he met Sanguinor again.

"Can we still save Baal?" Dante, who had witnessed the destruction of the Hades galaxy, asked Sanguinor, who was exuding golden light, in pain.

This perfect hero with bright wings of light disappeared after leaving only a word.

"Hope remains."

But now, Dante sees no hope.

The Zerg is advancing, and the blood god is watching.

Where will the Son of Blood go? ?

Mephiston didn't speak.

He showed no pity or sorrow, but he could still feel the despair, and he understood the plight of the lord he served.

There was an eerie silence between the two, except for the voice of the power armor.

"What's your suggestion?" Dante withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to the work of void defense. He looked at Mephisto and asked.

"I will try to stop them. The blood god's servants have tried to seduce us countless times, but they have never succeeded." Mephiston said.

"How far can you do it?" Dante got up and walked towards the bridge.

There is nothing to focus on in Void Defense anymore.

Perhaps, he should leave here.

Go where he is needed more.

Mephiston also followed Dante's pace and started walking.

"I will try my best to stop them, but the power of the blood god is unbelievable. I am not sure, but they will not succeed before I die."

"May you be spared by Sanguinius, Mephiston." Dante sent his last blessing.

Mephiston stopped and performed a holy blood ritual.

Then, he stepped in the opposite direction to Dante.

He has to prepare for the ceremony.

Try to prevent the blood god's servant from descending into this world as much as possible.

The Sons of Blood will never submit.

They just roar and attack the enemy.

Be it Zerg or Blood God, they will fight to the last moment.

Bayo II.

This planet is a satellite of the planet Baal.

Filled with dust that obscures the sky and ravages the sun.

Covered in a desert formed by red rust, it is a land that is difficult to live in.

However, it can be seen from those ancient ruins.

This moon was once a paradise for human beings.

On the surface, the ruins of ancient buildings are dotted.

Tens of thousands of biological wars and nuclear wars broke out in the dark age of mankind, and finally turned this comfortable planet into a dead place.

The once-prosperous residents became scavengers.

People suffered from decay and death in the mutated atmosphere.

Those who have suffered are still living in the world their ancestors destroyed.

Yogi is one of them.

He is a very ordinary Barr.

All his life, he lived in the red rust storm and water-scarce Bawe.

His wife is a girl from a desert tribe, and he became a water seller relying on a simple purification device.

His wife suffered from cancer very early because of the harsh environment of Bayer II, and finally died in pain.

His son participated in the selection of angels.

Not only did he fail, but he became dumbfounded.

Whenever Yugi thinks of these things, he will curse everything angrily.

His life was so miserable and humble.

Can do nothing but incompetent invective.

"Father, father." The cowardly son on the side wanted to get close to him, to get a little warmth in the dark night.

"Stay away from me." Yugi pushed him away angrily, "You damn fool, can't you learn to be independent?"

His words were full of hatred, which scared the cowardly son to tears.

"Be lenient with him, he is your son and inherits your blood." The man beside him said, he pulled the boy over and gave him half of the blanket.

"Why did fate torture me like this? It took away my wife and my life, and left behind a fool. We were still treated as cannon fodder by them." Yuji said angrily, "I handed over a smart child to They, they threw back a fool to me, I shouldn't let him participate in the selection of angels, why am I so stupid??"

The man on the side watched him, did not speak, but comforted the boy to sleep.

He could tell Yogi was going crazy.

Many people are like this, and nightmares afflict everyone.

Everyone sees that terrible shadow when they sleep.

They growled in nightmares.

Exudes enough desire to overwhelm everyone.

They crave the proteins, genetic sequences, and rich biological qualities of all creatures in the Baal system.

Those angels called them Zerg.

A terrifying creature that devours everything.

Yugi lowered his head in pain.

How he wanted to end his life with the laser gun in his hand.

Pain, corruption, silly son, just living in this world has exhausted him.

He never imagined that after death he would find the Emperor's care and a happy afterlife.

He just wanted to end the pain in this life.

Gene's subconscious forces him to live.

He didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he could only wait for death to harvest his life like a coward.

There are not many people like Yugi, and they have all been drafted.

A legendary hero named Dante came before them one day and threw them weapons to fight for Baal.

Yugi fell asleep in despair and crying.

Until he was woken up by the servitor's whip.

[Obey, citizens of Baal, sacrifice for the great emperor, sacrifice for the holy Sanguinius is the duty of every son of Baal. 】

[You need to build enough ravines and fortifications, which will allow you to survive the upcoming war. 】

The lower body of the servitor has been removed and replaced with crawlers.

A huge loudspeaker was hung on the muscular body, constantly broadcasting the same words.

The whip in the hand will fall on those laborers who do not wake up in time.

Yugi was whipped with a whip, and his face flushed with pain.

The servitor would only do things according to the established procedures, and it quickly took the second whip.

Silly, the kind son protected him and blocked the second falling whip with his strong body.

Otherwise, Yugi will suffer even more.

He got up, but he was still very unhappy with his stupid son.

After eating something.

Their father and son followed other laborers to dig ditches and carry sandbags to build a defense line

Dante returned to the Castle of Angels, where many Chapter Masters had been waiting for him.

They responded to the call of the mother order and gathered in Baal to defend the world where Sanguinius first spread his wings.

The loyalty of these chapters to the Empire and to Sanguinius is unquestionable.

But they may not recognize Dante's order.

What's more, there are flesh tearers and bloodletters among them, which seem to be deviant battle groups.

Dante needed to grind them in so they could fight in the name of Sanguinius.

Otherwise, fighting Tyron would be a dream.
