Chapter 469 Not good! There is an ambush!
What should we do now? Guilliman was lost in thought.
In this situation, it is obvious that the Thousand Sons Legion and subspace entities have set a trap for them. If they rush out at this moment, they should be playing into the enemy's hands!
No, we must not leave the subspace now!
"Stop leaping!" Guilliman ordered quickly.
The navigator responded immediately: "Yes!"
Guilliman has always cherished his subordinates very much. He never did anything to avoid the tiger in the mountain, nor did he want to use the blood and sacrifice of the Ultramarines in exchange for his false reputation.
Since Ryan and Mortarion were also on the mission with him, he would just wait here.
If they could wait for his two brothers, they would go out together.
If he couldn't wait, it didn't matter if he went out later. Anyway, he was already late, and the enemy had already spread out their battle array in the Prospero system. It wouldn't hurt him to go out later.
"Keep the coordinates of the real universe and be ready to jump out at any time, but you are not allowed to act rashly without my order!" Guilliman emphasized.
The navigator accepted Guilliman's order without hesitation: "Yes!"
The subspace ocean currents are very turbulent, and it is not easy to maintain the coordinates of the real universe corresponding to the subspace, but it is better than rushing out now and being beaten into space fireworks by the enemy.
One word, wait!
"Primarch, we just received a message from the Death Guard Legion. They asked us why we didn't go out. How should we answer?" An Ultramarine hurriedly walked in and reported the situation to Guilliman.
Guilliman's spirits were lifted.
The Death Guard is the legion under Mortarion's command. When they come together, their strength immediately increases a lot.
"Send a communication request to them. I want to speak with my brother Mortarion!" Guilliman said cheerfully.
The Ultramarines were clearly at their destination, but they were blocked in the subspace by the enemy and unable to get out. Guilliman felt as aggrieved as he wanted, but now things were finally turning for the better.
Soon, communications began.
In the projection in front of Guilliman, there stood a tall and thin ghost-like figure with a mask on his face and thick smoke surrounding him.
Lord of Death, Mortarion!
Mortarion, who communicated with his brother Guilliman, did not hold his iconic scythe, which made the communication atmosphere between them more harmonious.
"Why don't you go out?" Mortarion asked bluntly.
Among the many primarchs, Mortarion hated Magnus the most. As soon as he received the emperor's order, he was as happy as the New Year and rushed over with the Death Guard without stopping.
Frankly, he couldn't wait to burn glass in Prospero.
Guilliman could feel Mortarion's excitement.
He was a little disappointed with Mortarion's performance. In his opinion, although Magnus made a mistake, he was their brother after all, and they should at least show some mercy.
But one code equals another.
"The Thousand Sons Legion and the subspace entities have laid a trap in Prospero. I am worried that my legion is not powerful enough to defeat them, so I am waiting here for you and Ryan, my brother."
Guilliman said matter-of-factly.
"Really?" Mortarion's voice rose slightly, "Do you think the help of the Death Guard is indispensable to the Ultramarines? Without the Death Guard, the Ultramarines would not be able to complete their mission?"
He took a deep breath of the mist surrounding him, and his powerful lung capacity caused this breath to create a vortex visible to the naked eye in mid-air.
Guilliman frowned.
As far as he knew, the mist around Mortarion was not incense, but a high-concentration poisonous gas from Mortarion's home planet, the kind that ordinary people could reopen with just one sip.
Only the strong body of the original body can digest this poisonous gas.
Guilliman didn't understand why Mortarion would smoke this thing, just as he didn't understand why Mortarion would ask such an unreasonable question.
But it didn't matter, there was something wrong with his brothers, and he was used to it.
"The Emperor asked us to complete the mission together, obviously because no one of us can complete it alone." Guilliman said slowly, "There is an anomaly at the Mandeville Point in the Prospero System, and we need to gather our strength. "
"Abnormality at Mandeville Point?" Mortarion had just arrived near this area and was still unclear about the situation.
However, Mortarion knew the importance of Mandeville Point to subspace navigation. If the warship did not leave the subspace from Mandeville Point, it would suffer heavy losses.
Guilliman nodded slowly: "For specific circumstances, you can ask your navigator."
The projection suddenly became silent.
Guilliman could only see Mortarion leaning sideways, seemingly communicating with people off-screen, but could not hear the content of their exchange.
After a while, the projected sound came again.
Mortarion said hoarsely: "The enemy's formation is not small. Just wait for Ryan. The Death Guard is not afraid of death, but they do not want unnecessary sacrifices."
Hearing this, Guilliman breathed a sigh of relief.
Mortarion did not rush out of the subspace recklessly, which is really good news. Otherwise, if Mortarion went out, he would not be able to get out even if he didn't want to. He could not just sit back and watch Mortarion be beaten to death by the enemy.
"Okay, let's wait for Ryan."
Guilliman and Mortarion came to an understanding.
Some time passed, and Llane arrived belatedly to the expectations of Guilliman and Mortarion.
"Why don't you go out?"
Llane was surprised to find fleets of Ultramarines and Death Guard floating in the Warp.
Based on his understanding of these two brothers, they are not greedy for life and death. Why have they been staying in the subspace instead of going to the real universe? Are they planning something?
Mortarion will also be planning?
In Ryan's impression, the Death Guard's style is to play steadily and without any fancy strategies.
Guilliman realized that Mortarion had no intention of speaking at all, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation: "My brother, don't you find the Mandeville Point strange?"
The projection suddenly became silent.
Guilliman could only see Lion turning sideways, seemingly communicating with someone off-screen.
Looking at this scene, the corner of Guilliman's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, which was also the case when Mortarion communicated with him some time ago.
"Okay, I understand the situation." Ryan's expression became serious and he said in a deep voice, "So you are waiting for me and preparing to go out with me?"
Guilliman nodded heavily: "That's right."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Ryan clenched his fists, "Let the guy who betrayed the empire pay the price with blood!"
Mortarion geared up: "Let's go!"
Orders were issued from the flagships of the three original bodies. The fleet that had been parked in the subspace ocean currents for a long time finally moved. The powerful engines roared and tore a gap in the curtain of the subspace.
Loyalist fleets emerged from the Prospero system via Mandeville Point from three different locations.
The abbreviation is Tadide! (End of chapter)
