I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 279: The Dark Primarch of the Empire

Louis Dante, Chapter Master of the Blood Angels Chapter woke up dazed from his coma.

He felt a fatigue he had never felt before.

As a veteran who had served the empire for fifteen hundred years, he thought everything was over.

As he defeats powerful enemies and sacrifices himself in battle, he can return gloriously to the Golden Throne, beneath the white wings of the Archangel Sanguinius.

However, he did not die and once again came back from the brink of death.

In a coma, he vaguely heard a voice encouraging him.

Dante, your mission is not over yet. I'm sorry, my child, but the Empire needs you to continue fighting...

Then he woke up.

He saw the medic and an old acquaintance, Arenas Kararan, Captain of the First Company of the Blood Angels Chapter.

"Kalaran, what's going on? Why are you here?"

Dante, who gradually came to his senses, sternly questioned his loyal captain.

He had just sent a company out to support the war in Cadia.

How come the company commander came back just a few days later?

"Captain of the Legion, the Battle of Cadia is over... I know you have many questions, but after meeting that Lord, you will know everything."

A rare look of awe and awe appeared on Kararan's face.

The legion commander had never seen such an expression on his comrade.

It was surprise, shock, doubt, mixed with disbelief and joy.

Who on earth could have caused the usually calm and composed company commander to lose his composure like this?

"Take me to see that master."

Dante endured the pain, dragged his seriously injured body, and followed the company commander through the military camp.

Outside, he saw a sight that surprised him.

The Imperial warships that blocked out the sun were anchored above the planet Baal. A large number of unfamiliar Imperial troops were cleaning up the battlefield and carrying out post-war reconstruction on the planet.

Many Space Marines painted in Blood Angels costumes that he had never seen before were on patrol and on guard, equipped with power armor and weapon styles that Dante had never seen before.

He was very tall, a head taller than all these old soldiers.

As he went deeper into the army's headquarters, Dante saw an unexpected scene.

Surprisingly, those stationed at the headquarters were a group of blue Space Marines, clearly brothers of the Ultramarines Legion.

what is that?

Dante was confused by the tall golden-armored guards at the entrance of the command center. He looked carefully and made sure that he was not seeing things. He was even more shocked.

If I am not mistaken, those golden-armored guards are clearly the imperial guards that can only be seen in the Terra Palace.

Isn't it said that the Imperial Guards never leave the palace?

Why are you here?

Looking at the unusual guards at the command center in front of him, Dante had a hunch that he was about to meet an important figure.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but he felt that this guess was ridiculous.

Until I saw with my own eyes the blue giant sitting in the center of the command hall, that familiar, sacred and majestic face.

Dante was so shocked that he knelt down in front of the other person.

"Is this true? Are you still alive?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

The blue giant on the throne stood up, walked forward and personally helped Dante up, and said gently: "Louis Dante, your achievements are comparable to those of the Primarch, so there is no need to salute me."

Dante stared blankly at the kind face of the blue giant so close to him. The other's gentle eyes were filled with a kind of heartache, concern and approval of an elder for a younger one.

Suddenly, the string in Dante's heart broke and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Lord Guilliman, I am guilty!"

"Ahhh!"

This strong warrior, a veteran who had fought desperately for the empire for fifteen hundred years, cried like a 200-pound child.

It's like a poor child who has suffered a lot of grievances and found his parents.

Standing in front of the three-meter-five blue giant, the two-meter-five Dante was indeed like a child kneeling in front of his father.

"You are not wrong. You did a good job. The Baal Galaxy did not fall..."

Faced with the collapsed Dante, the blue giant always patiently and gently comforted him until the already seriously injured legion commander fainted from crying due to excessive emotion.

Standing before Dante was none other than the Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion, Roboute Guilliman.

Today, the only surviving Primarch of the Empire just woke up from a near-death coma that lasted for ten thousand years a few years ago and took up the banner of rebuilding the Empire.

Now he is the Regent who holds the military and political power of the empire.

Guilliman sighed imperceptibly and said to his attendants, "Come here, take the legion commander back to recuperate."

Blood Angels First Captain Kalaran saluted Guilliman respectfully, then he and the soldiers gently lifted up the unconscious Dante and left.

Three months later.

"Dante, you have done a great job over the past 1,500 years. The empire is in danger now, and it needs a commander like you to carry the banner."

"My lord, the Blood Angels are willing to follow your will."

Louis Dante solemnly swore allegiance to the Primarch.

During the time he was awake, he had fully understood the unprecedented difficulties the empire was facing.

During the six months that the Blood Angels were fighting in the Baal system, decades had passed in the outside world due to the emergence of the Great Rift and the impact of the Warp riots.

Now that the Imperium of Mankind is split in two, the light of the Terran Astronomican is blocked by the Great Rift, unable to reach the other side of the galaxy.

Half of the galaxy's empire was thrown back into the dark ages of isolation and helplessness.

Demons, Zerg and other aliens are taking the opportunity to plunder and devour the human world of the [Dark Side of the Empire].

As an important source of Space Marines and located in the center of the dark side of the Empire, the Baal Galaxy is undoubtedly an extremely important strategic location for the Empire.

The strategic position of the Baal Galaxy cannot be lost!

Dante was well aware of this, so he accepted Guilliman's arrangement without hesitation.

Dante was appointed as the Regent of the Dark Side of the Empire. When Guilliman is not in the Eastern Galaxy, Dante will hold sole power over the Eastern Galaxy Empire.

Take on the arduous task of guarding the dark side of the empire.

To ensure that Dante, the Blood Angels Chapter, and the Baal System can shoulder the responsibility.

Guilliman has invested a great deal of his resources in the Baal System.

This includes thousands of Primaris Space Marines being added to the various Blood Angels chapters to reorganize the high-end combat power of this faction.

A large number of valuable technologies, including original transformation technology and new equipment manufacturing technology, were handed over to Dante.

Leaving behind a large mortal army, including a large number of technicians and administrative personnel, to help the Baal galaxy complete the reconstruction as quickly as possible.

The Primarch himself even had long conversations with Dante for several nights, discussing in depth the strategies for governing the country and how to better restore the rule and order of the empire.

Having accomplished all this, Guilliman set sail again with his massive fleet.

He wants to continue to push forward his plan of "Indomitable Expedition".

There are still countless worlds on the dark side of the empire waiting for him to save.

"Your Highness, where are we going next?"

the captain inquired.

After a moment's thought, the Primarch said, "Go to Alamat. See what's happening with the Sons of Olar."

The Alamatt System, located in the eastern part of the Ultima Segmentum, was originally part of the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar.

It is also home to the Ultramarines successor chapter, the Sons of Olar.

After the Great Rift appeared, it was divided into the dark side of the empire.

Guilliman felt it necessary to give some support to the descendants there, to help them strengthen their strength and build it into a solid fortress of the Empire in the dark.

Relieve some pressure on Dante.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will send the order immediately."

The captain turned back to the control console.

At this moment, Guilliman suddenly burst out with a terrifying aura, and his eyes glowed with golden light.

Everyone on the command deck was stunned by this majestic aura and temporarily lost their ability to move.

After a few breaths, the brief feeling of oppression disappeared, and Guilliman came back to his senses from his distracted state, frowning with a look of distress and anger.

Everyone looked at the Primarch in awe.

They had encountered similar situations before and knew that it was the Great Emperor, communicating with his great offspring through divine means.

"Commander, reset the destination."

The Primarch gave new orders solemnly.

"Tell the astropathic officer that the target is the brightest star among the ghoul stars."

"Let's go immediately!"
