In the fierce battle cry of 'For the Emperor' and 'Qingjun's Side', all the soldiers of the 93rd Company of the Ultramarines, led by Company Commander Kanriel, rode a gang of jumping torpedoes and launched a gang of jumping attacks on the fortress Monastery Mountain Formation, which was about to crash.

For 10,000 years, the heirs of Dorne have been guarding the safety of Terra, but due to the suspicion of the High Lord and various political factors, the Imperial Fists are not all stationed on the Mountain Formation, but are scattered throughout the Sun Star Field, and only the 3rd Company is stationed on the Mountain Formation all year round.

Therefore, the term 'Terra Praetorian Guard' in a general sense does not refer to the entire Imperial Fist Band, but specifically to the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fist, which is responsible for guarding the Mountain Formation.

This was the result of a compromise on many fronts, and the other companies of the Imperial Fist were forbidden to return to Terra to assemble without permission, after all, if an entire warband's Astarte hung high above his head, the High Lord would not be able to sleep.

However, even with only one company, the die-hard warriors of the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fist caused a huge obstacle to the actions of the Qingjun side of the Northern Expeditionary Fleet.

Relying on the sheer size and fierce firepower of the Mountain Formation, the warriors of the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fist pinned down 3 Blackstone Fortresses and hundreds of cruisers of the Otrama fleet, the ancient fortress left by the Father of Genes ate unimaginable firepower with its magnificent body, and the overload of the Void Shield was on the verge of limit, Rao was so, and the heirs of Dorne did not show even the slightest weakness.

Eventually, under the siege of the Otrama Navy, the Mountain Formation was hit by the psionic main cannons of the three Blackstone Fortresses at the same time, and the roaring engines at the core of the fortress were extinguished, and the ancient fortress of the Imperial Fists sank.

The 93rd Company of the Ultramarines delivered a fatal blow to the desperate Fortress Abbey, chanting Robert Killman's name, and Company Commander Canrell cut off the head of the commander of the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fist.

He lifted the head, wrapped in a bright yellow helmet, above his head, blood rolling down the azure armor of the Ultramarines, and the Mountain Formation Horn burned beneath his feet.

"Blood Sacrifice God Emperor! Skull Offering Golden Throne!! Company Commander Kanriel roared loudly, offering unyielding loyalty to Terra at his feet with the head of the Imperial Fist Company Commander in his hand.

Behind him, the Ultramarines have slaughtered all the fighters of the 3rd Company of the Imperial Fist.

Standing in the headquarters of the Glory of Macurag, Killiman witnessed the sinking of the Mountain Formation for a long time.

"The future of humanity should not be forged with the blood of loyalists......" Kiliman groaned in pain with his head in his hands.

"It's not your fault, it's mine." A gentle female voice came from behind Killiman, and the prophetess Alexei came behind the original body in a light white veil.

Alexei gently stroked Kiliman's trembling shoulders and said, "We also tried to convince the Imperial Fist ......"

As he spoke, a Praetorian guard in gold armor also came to Kiliman's side. Brammimund held a long tray in one hand, and lifted the red cloth that covered it, and in the tray stood nine blood-drenched old heads.

"The heads of 9 High Lords, including the Martian Casting General, this is a gift from the Marshal of the Forbidden Army." Brammimund said, "Following the Emperor's will, we have cleared the way for the unstable Terra and the path for the primordial succession. ”

After all, the solar system is the home galaxy of the human empire, and the nine planets have long been fortified under the highest level of alert, even if it is managed by the Otrama Navy, the Gothic Fleet, and the 1st Expeditionary Fleet...... The Northern Expeditionary Fleet, which is formed together, is also a difficult task to capture the solar system.

It was precisely because of the cooperation of the forbidden army that they were able to penetrate the gates of Hades and Tianfu so efficiently, defeat the solar system defense forces, and drive the fleet to the skies above Terra and Mars.

Killiman miscalculated one thing.

He believed that he held the supreme command of the Northern Expeditionary Fleet, but in reality, Alexei, the living saint with the platform of the forbidden army, had a higher prestige than him.

"If everything was premeditated by you...... Why did the Mountain Formation still sink? Killiman let out a long sigh, with a rare cry of grievance in his tone: "Why didn't you convince the Imperial Fist to lay down its arms?" Why fire on the Mountain Formation and slaughter the loyal Terra Janissaries?! ”

"......" Bramilmond was silent.

"We've also tried to contact the Imperial Fist to explain the situation." Alexei whispered, "We have tried many times to get in touch with the commander of the third company of the Imperial Fist before the Northern Expedition fleet entered the solar system, we don't want to go toe-to-toe with the Terra Praetorian Guard, and if we can, military conflict is always the last option......

We did everything we could, even the Marshal of the Praetorian Army took the risk to personally climb the Mountain Formation and persuade the Imperial Fist to peacefully surrender air supremacy to Terra, but he made no concessions. ”

The Fist of the Empire was more rigid than anyone could have imagined, and even the Marshal of the Forbidden Army and the Living Saint of the Emperor could not make these hard rocks move even a minute.

The Imperial Fist is Terra's guard, and keeping Terra safe is the duty given to them by Roger Dorn, and no matter what happens, they can't make even the slightest concession in this matter.

Even if the Human Emperor himself stood up from the Golden Throne and gave the order, the muzzle of the Imperial Fist would never be pointed at Terra, and this is the stubbornness of the Sons of Dorne.

"Dorne...... These descendants are just like you, smelly and hard, and don't know how to be flexible. Kiliman muttered softly and got up from the floor.

The original form was burly again, and below the Glory of Macurag, Terra was burning. The battleship Valkyrie was dropping heavily armed Titan formations to the Palace, but unlike when the Yamajin was captured, the Palace Guards did not put up any resistance to the arrival of the Primordial Army. The Commander of the Forbidden Army took the initiative to open the Lion's Gate of the palace and welcomed Kiliman's Northern Expedition into the inner walls of the palace.

This is the 49th year of the 40th millennium, and as the subspace storm swept through the galaxy, Robert Kiliman, the Lord of the Ultramarines, set out on a northern expedition in Otrama, all the way through the storm star field, breaking through the Beta-Galmont defense, and reigning on the Terra Palace, wearing gold armor, proclaiming himself the regent of the Empire, also known as the 'Lord of War'.

Nine of the 12 High Lords were killed on the same day, and their political power was purged by the Forbidden Army and the Assassin Tribunal, the Holy Sage Belisarius Kaul was appointed as the Martian Casting General for the time being, and the Living Saint Alexei Reyput was 'elected' as the State Pope, and there was no longer any obstacle for the Primordial to control the Empire.

Historical name: Storm Coup.

In the same year, construction began on the Terra Stargate.
