Warhammer: My Brother Is the Emperor

Chapter 99 Isstvan
In the year 31 of the 901st millennium, in the Tomb Star on the northwestern border of the Obscure Starfield, the Emperor summoned nine loyal Primarchs in a golden battleship.

At the beginning of the meeting, the Emperor cut to the chase and explained why they had been summoned:

"We have suffered a shameful betrayal. Just two hours ago, your other nine brothers colluded with the warp demons and launched a purge of the loyalists on the ship!"

"Now I declare: Operation Overlord begins!"

Operation Overlord is the final plan to wipe out the traitorous Primarch, and its blueprint has been set as early as the late stage of the Great Crusade.

At that time, the Emperor had realized that with the smooth progress of the Great Crusade, the aliens trapped in a corner were no longer the main threat to mankind, but the next opponent's warp.

The original body contains a large amount of compressed space components, and it will become a serious problem for the empire and mankind in the future.

It was the news of the Primarch's mutiny that finally made the Emperor make up his mind to launch a purge.

According to the outline of Operation Overlord, the empire's military force is divided into two parts, one part focuses on defending Terra, and the other part seeks a decisive battle with the rebel legion to eliminate it with the power of the whole country.

In order to complete this unprecedented cleansing plan, the Empire has prepared more than [-] warships, tens of billions of puppet auxiliary troops, and a huge force of the Nine Primarch Legions.

After the rebellion broke out, the emperor immediately recalled the loyal generals. After seven hours of tense discussions, everyone in the conference room reached a consensus: troops must be dispatched immediately!

However, two problems ran across the front. Due to the subspace storm and the raging demons, all the fleets were more or less damaged, and they were not in the best condition.

And the other main counter-insurgency force—the Prince Legion is far away in the sky, either scattered all over the galaxy, or separated from the Primarch fleet due to the warp space storm.

It can be said that the loyalists currently have only nine primitive fleets in poor condition.

To make matters worse, with the puppets purged, the Loyalists have no idea where the rebels are.

In the conference room, Leon Johnson said solemnly:
"This battle is different from the past. The enemy has the support of allies in the subspace. Our main force is likely to be separated and surrounded. There is neither force advantage nor geographical coordination. We are very dependent on luck!"

Despite facing many unfavorable factors, neither Leon Johnson, Guilliman, or other Primarchs have denied the feasibility of Operation Overlord.

Eventually, at the Emperor's insistence, the Loyalists would act immediately after the meeting.

Although they don't know the location of the rebels, they all know the next move of the rebels: to purge the loyalists inside.

Geller's position was destroyed by traitors, and many loyal Primarchs were taken away by demonic corruption, but some still successfully resisted corruption relying on the loyalty in their hearts.

After Geller's force field was repaired, they didn't know that the comrades around him were no longer the familiar him, and there was vicious betrayal hidden in the friendly smile.

A few loyal puppets noticed something abnormal, and wanted to ask the puppets to warn them and get enlightenment from the emperor, but found that the puppets had already died in the invasion of demons.

This move deepened their doubts, but due to their lack of understanding of the subspace, they did not trust their former loyal comrades-in-arms and had become immortal enemies.

No matter what the rebels want to do, they can't avoid these ignorant loyalists, so they plan a purge that was caught off guard.

Relying on the navigation of the navigator, they came to a strange galaxy.

Under the tandem of the Assassins, the loyalists of the rebel navigators joined the Star Language Choir to announce the location of the rebels to Terra—the Isstvan galaxy!
A sad place for all loyal Hammers!

Afterwards, these warriors who took the risk to report were discovered by the rebels and died willingly.

Isstvan is located in the northeast border of the Obscure Star Territory, where Randan's vassal race remains, and it is one of the few regions where the genocide did not have time.

In the original history, not only all the loyalists in the rebel army were buried here, but also three loyalist legions were buried here, and the loyalists lost all their mobile forces.

After receiving the report from the astropath, Malcador shouted: "God bless the empire! God bless mankind!"

In the vast universe, it is very difficult to locate a fleet, but this difficulty was solved at the beginning of the war. This is the luck of the empire and the luck of mankind.

When the news reached the Golden Fleet, the Primarchs were excited and called for battle. Among them, Fenus was particularly active. He was eager to know why his good brother Fulgrim rebelled!

Even if Said told him about the stabbing sword, he was still skeptical and insisted on asking himself.

But the Emperor and Said still had misgivings, worrying that this was a trap for the rebels to divert the tiger away from the mountain, divert the main force of the loyal Primarch, and cover up the real attack target.

Said immediately dispatched a scouting fleet to Istvan to carry out verification work.

When approaching Isstvan, the scouting fleet encountered a subspace storm. Through the puppets, Said heard the wailing and screaming of countless aliens.

This means one thing, the rebels are massacring and sacrificing Ran Dan's aliens, and the alien's emotions are projected on the sea of ​​souls, setting off a strong warp space storm, blocking the reinforcements of the loyalists and making it easier to cleanse the loyalists.

This confirmed the authenticity of the intelligence, and after weighing it, the Emperor ordered:
Nine legions form a coalition army, commanded by the first legion Primarch Leon Johnson, rush to Isstvan to rescue the loyalists, fight a decisive battle with the rebels, and wait for an opportunity to annihilate them!
The First Legion has four Blackstone Fortresses, which can suppress the subspace storm and allow the fleet to pass through to Isstvan smoothly.

The Primarch led away, leaving only the Emperor and Saeed in the conference room. The Emperor asked, "Sayeed, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Said calmly said: "This is not a perfect solution. We must consider the worst consequence. The main force of the rebel army is not in Isstvan, but goes straight to Terra!"

"Since the warlords have rebelled in ancient times, the key to victory is to quickly win the capital, ascend the throne, and declare yourself as orthodox!"

However, the First Legion has the Blackstone Fortress, which can easily break through the subspace blockade. Said really can't think of how the rebels can trap the Primarch Legion.

The emperor said leisurely: "But if the main force of the rebel army is in Isstvan, but we don't send enough troops to eliminate them, the consequences will be equally bad."

The consequence was that all the rebels ran into the Eye of Terror, and with the support of Chaos, they became an upgraded version of Abaddon's Black Crusade.

"So no matter how we choose, we will face considerable risks. The key to determining the outcome is how much strength we have in hand!"

Said cheered up: "Brother Huang is right, now our strength is not what it used to be, and Malcado has mobilized a lot of resources relying on currency!"

"Terra now has become an impenetrable line of defense. Brother Huang, let's go back to Terra! Our only weakness is the network path. I don't feel at ease without you."

The emperor thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then go back, there is an entrance to the webway near here, so you don't need to go through the subspace."
