With the awakening ritual of the sage of Clecis, these warriors who had been sleeping for ten thousand years awakened one by one and gathered in front of Horus.

Gavel Loken, Saul Taviz, Nathaniel Garro, Kyle Valen, Shabran Dahl, Ignaz, and Horus looked at the outstanding representatives of these loyal warriors, some of whom were Horus's excellent subordinates and close friends, and some of whom only appeared in that memory.

As a member of the Council of the Four Kings, Company Commander Gavel Loken faithfully carried out Horus's orders after the rebellion of "Horus", and he did his best to save these loyal warriors in the early days of the Great Rebellion and went into a stagnation field of slumber for ten thousand years. And now Lorcan will once again fight for the wolf herder.

Now, in front of Horus are 80 Shadowmoon Wolves, 50 Death Guards, 40 Iron Warriors, 25 World Eaters, 30 Emperor's Sons, and 6 Thousand Sons Think Tank.

Under the gaze of these 237 warriors, Horus took a step forward.

"Loyal warriors, unyielding warriors, I am glad that after 10,000 years you are willing to serve humanity and the Emperor under my command. Now that the Empire has lost all loyal genetic primitives, mortals who have lost the Emperor's leadership have strayed from His course, corrupt bureaucrats, traitors corrupted by Chaos, and evil Xenomorphs have transformed the Empire from a giant into a rotting corpse. ”

The Janissaries on the side affirmed Horus's description of the current state of the Empire, and the sturdy warriors were disappointed and angry. But good discipline kept them from making disgruntled moves.

Horus looked at the strong warriors in front of him and continued

"Before you enter the stasis field, I think Company Commander Lorcan has told you the reason for the Great Horus Rebellion and my backup plan. Now I will tell you about the mission that the Emperor has entrusted me. ”

"Through the particularity of my soul, we will leave our world and go to an unknown time and space, where we will avoid the eyes of evil gods, accumulate strength, and one day, we will awaken the emperor from the golden throne, save the empire, and save humanity"

Finally, Horus shouted "Fight for humanity!" The Astartes followed suit with the chanting of "Fight for humanity!" ”

Immediately afterward, Horus commanded the sage of Clecisis with majesty.

"Arm them, sage, and arm them with your best equipment."

"In the name of the Messiah of Ohm, your command will be carried out." The Sage of Cleixis replied in his emotionless voice.

An hour later, when Horus got the equipment sheet, it was incredible.

There are 240 sets of MK.VII Ranger power armor and corresponding blasters, more than 300 power weapons of all kinds, 3 sets of Centurion armor, 9 sets of Iron Rider Terminator armor, 24 sets of Indomitable Terminator armor, 5 Predator tanks, 3 Whirlwind missile vehicles, 12 Thunderhawks, 6 Storm Raven gunboats, 6 Fallen Fighters, 6 Rand Rapid Attack Boats and other valuable technical equipment, and even a Poison Blade Super Heavy Tank.

Looking at the ammunition boxes piled up in front of him, so many weapons were supplied to more than 200 Astartes, which can be said to be quite a tyrant. I've seen much more equipment than this in Horus for the Great Expedition, but that's for hundreds of thousands of Astartes and many more auxiliaries.

In terms of power armor alone, Ranger power armor is often used by elite Astarte non-commissioned officers and commanders, and now every Astarte in Horus's expedition can use it, and there are even redundant ones.

Judging from the Astarte canon, the Astarte equipment of less than three companies is too luxurious. The Sage of Clecis's devotion to this expedition can be said to have cost a lot of money.

The Sage then led Horus to an unnamed Opalon-class battleship moored in Starport. He introduced in his cold voice as he walked.

"The Opalon-class battleship was completed half a year ago from the orbital shipyard of the Yellow Springs 8, and the entire manufacturing process was carried out to the highest standards. The cathars cleaned the entire ship to ensure that there were no non-human creatures. ”

The 8,400-metre-long behemoth is anchored steadily in the harbor, its new alloy armor plates glowing silver in the sunlight and striking angles adorned with a golden eagle head.

Although the Opalon-class battleships were being replaced by the Emperor-class and other more specialized ships in the Imperial Navy, the multi-purpose capital ship was exactly what Horus needed. After all, due to the limitations of the Emperor's power and the top secrecy of the mission, Horus could only carry out the operation with two ships.

In the entire empire, except for the participants in the expedition, only the top of the Praetorian Army and the Supreme Inquisitor of the Inquisition knew about Horus's expedition. And only the Praetorian Army knew that the expedition was led by Horus.

As soon as Horus entered the command center of the Opalon battleship, the loyal and fanatical crew watched him and waited for Horus to name the ship.

It was a long time before Horus announced that "this ship will be named the Tears of the Holy Blood." With that, Horus hurried out of the command center.

For St. Giles, Horus has always had a deep sense of guilt, the archangel is the best primordial, and also the best relationship with other brothers, St. Giles is clever and intelligent, unparalleled martial arts and superb personality charm make Horus think that St. Giles is more suitable for the position of commander than him.

It's a pity that in the Great Rebellion, he killed the noble archangel with his own hands. This guilt and remorse haunted Horus. It will be forever entwined.

While the servants inscribed "Tears of Blood" on the side of the ship, Horus was reorganizing his warriors.

The loyal warriors of the Rebel Legion are angry at the rebellion of their genetic fathers, especially the Centurion of the World Eater Legion, who is full of resentment and anger against his original form. He believed that Angelon had turned the noble Warhound Legion into slave-like devourers.

Shabran shouted loudly.

"Angelon has turned the war dog into his personal slave the Eater of the World, he has defiled our glory, I will abandon the filthy name of the Eater of the World, we are the Dogs of War, and the Dogs of War will not give in."

"The Twilight Raiders (original name of the Death Guard) will never betray," Nathaniel chimed in.

"Fugen has made the Emperor's Son synonymous with obscenity, and I will abandon it, we are the Eagles of Death, and one day we will hunt down all traitors and make the Emperor's Son shine again." This is Thor's oath.

"Petubola, the cruel tyrant, who has betrayed the trust of the Emperor and us. The Iron Warriors will remain, but will always remember the hatred for Petubora. ”

……

At this point, the five companies under the command of Horus were officially established, they were the "Shadow Moon Wolf", "Death Eagle", "Twilight Raider", "War Dog", and "Iron Warrior", although even in the Astarte Holy Codex, these five companies were pitifully small in number, let alone the Legion period. But Horus will use these five remnants of the company to explore and expedition to another world.

After three months of supplies, Angel Tears and the Goliath Forge finally sailed out of the Lion's Gate Starport.

Under Horus's watchful eye, Ignaz and his Thousand Sons gathered around to begin a psionic ritual.

Ignaz raised his staff, and at the prayers of the think tanks, the psionic energy began to converge, and the will of the think tank connected with the star torch, and then the golden light replaced the blue psionic energy.

The golden light shone brighter and brighter, and all the surrounding Astartes looked down to avoid staring directly at the golden light, while Horus still stared directly at the think tank. Looking directly into the Emperor's Light would blind mortals, but the nature of Horus's Genoplasm can resist its mighty power.

As the light shone to the extreme, the space around the Angel Tears was torn apart in an instant, and the golden light enveloped Horus's small fleet and carried it out of this world.

After being tested by some kind of rule, the fleet was thrown into the unknown.
