The Players were arguing fiercely, even thinking of fighting on the spot, with the winner taking the head of the last Khorne Greater Daemon.
As it turned out, none of them managed to get the head of the last Khorne Greater Daemon.
Guilliman unleashed unparalleled fury, roaring as he charged towards the Khorne Greater Daemon.
Under the stunned gaze of the Players, he swung the Emperor's Sword at the Khorne Greater Daemon, engaging it in a fierce battle.
The Sisters of Silences, Custodes, and Grey Knights also moved swiftly, cooperating with the Primarch in the attack.
After a fierce but brief struggle, Guilliman swung his sword, lopping off the Khorne Greater Daemon's head.
Then, in full view of everyone, he raised his foot and stomped the Greater Daemon's head to pieces.
Seeing this scene, the Players immediately let out wails of lamentation.
"How could the Primarch do this!"
"Boo hoo, my monster, my Greater Daemon."
...
The player Kirito was even more distraught, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, feeling utterly hopeless.
"My points, my hope for first place!! How could you just die like that? Couldn't you have held on for a few more rounds!!"
"You lost so quickly, are you worthy of Khorne?"
His mournful appearance made the Imperial heroes who knew the details twitch at the corners of their eyes.
If it were someone uninformed, seeing him cry so sadly, they would likely brand him a Heretic and tie him to a pyre to be roasted for days and nights.
"I told you to fight, wouldn't it have been better to just let us have it earlier?" Warmaster said to the Players with a tone of disappointment.
"Why didn't you let us? You're all veteran Warbands, yet you still want to hog everything," Pig Head Strong protested.
"Forget it, stop arguing. The Primarch has already killed the Greater Daemon, let's go hunt the smaller ones," Caesar suggested.
Warmaster nodded and shouted to the members of the Emperor Hammers, "Brothers, cheer up! MVP is definitely ours. Go hunt those Bloodletters."
"We're going too!" shouted the Ogryn, who had only one arm left.
Kirito also summoned his comrades and charged towards the Bloodletters and Flesh Hounds.
The Players didn't mourn the headless Khorne Greater Daemon for too long.
They immediately threw themselves back into the fierce battle.
To hunt those lesser daemons.
The Battle of the Lion's Gate lasted for a full day.
The Players also fought with extreme enthusiasm for an entire day.
They roared and shouted constantly, full of energy and vitality.
Many Imperial heroes secretly marveled at the energy and mental state of these Saints.
As the daemons were continually driven back, the bloody hue of the sky slowly dissipated.
The daemonic power grew weaker and weaker, even struggling to maintain physical form.
Sometimes, before they even launched an attack,
A mere shout would cause their near-transparent bodies to collapse.
Under the Players' encirclement, the last daemon screamed and fled back into the Warp, and the Battle of the Lion's Gate came to an end.
The sky returned to its original state, revealing the setting sun.
Golden sunlight filtered through the chemical haze, scattering over the dismembered limbs on the battlefield, creating a strange, bloody beauty.
The Players lamented the end of the war, complaining why Khorne didn't send more minions into the battlefield.
The rankings on the war leaderboard were updated several times, with many new Warbands entering the top ten,
Including the 'Hogwarts' Warband and the Husky Warband.
Imperial forces began to clear the battlefield.
The bodies of Imperial soldiers were carefully carried out, identified, and their fallen information recorded.
The remaining physical forms of the daemons were roughly scooped up by bulldozers and sent directly into incinerators.
Terrifying high temperatures burned them to ashes, with Ecclesiarchy priests supervising nearby to prevent any corrupting power from remaining.
The Terra Council signed a series of execution orders,
To brutally suppress the ongoing riots in various places.
With the Battle of the Lion's Gate concluded, Daniel did not participate in the subsequent cleanup and suppression work.
He bid farewell to Guilliman, preparing to return to the Calixis Sector.
That was his reform experimental zone.
If successful, Guilliman could use the feedback from the Calixis Sector to push for deep reforms within the Human Empire.
Guilliman wanted Daniel to stay, promising him many benefits and treatments that only Primarchs could enjoy.
Despite such tempting conditions, Daniel firmly refused.
"I am not suited to stay on Holy Terra, at least not at this stage. When a suitable opportunity arises, I will come, but for now, the most important thing I need to do is to manage the Calixis Sector well."
After leaving these words, Daniel departed, directly teleporting back to the Imperial Glory.
Some Players followed him back, while others remained on Holy Terra, completing tasks issued by Guilliman.
Celestine also left Holy Terra, heading to other battlefields.
Currently, numerous battles are still erupting throughout the Human Empire.
She cannot remain by the Primarch's side indefinitely, ignoring the battlefields that need her.
Voldus and Amalrich also had their own matters to attend to.
As soon as the battle ended, they left the surface.
Guilliman sincerely expressed his gratitude to them, and then, with immense enthusiasm, threw himself into new work.
The Human Empire was in ruins, awaiting reconstruction, and he had no time to grieve for others' departures.
He began to adjust the political structure and military deployment of Holy Terra.
He requested the Astropathic Choir to send astropathic messages to loyalist forces across the galaxy,
Ordering those still fighting to abandon unimportant worlds, gather, and prepare to launch the Indomitus Crusade.
At this time, Cawl also revealed the existence of the Primaris Space Marines to the world.
The Primaris Space Marines are more powerful beings than the Astartes, an enhancement and perfection of the Emperor's Angels.
This new batch of warriors would be key to the Indomitus Crusade; they would drive out the traitors of the ancient war and lead the Human Empire back to glory.
However, the appearance of the Primaris Space Marines, as expected, caused strong protests from conservative factions.
Many Adeptus Mechanicus, bureaucrats, and Ecclesiarchy representatives jointly submitted petitions to Guilliman,
All of which, without exception, demanded severe punishment for Cawl and the upholding of the Emperor's sanctity.
Guilliman suppressed these protests and protected Cawl in the name of the Imperial Regent,
Declaring that all of this was the Emperor's will,
Using forceful means to suppress the protesting conservatives.
With Guilliman's support, the Primaris Space Marines were awakened and activated, integrated into various Warbands.
At the same time, a large number of warships also gathered in the Sol System, and a grand expedition was about to begin.
...
The first thing Daniel did upon returning to the Calixis Sector was to claim his quest rewards.
[Quest: Stop the Cultists/Khorne Daemon Army, (Completed)]
In addition to a large amount of Faith Points, he also received an epic Power Armor.
In the Praying Sanctuary of the Imperial Glory, after praying to the Emperor, a light portal opened.
Several golden Cherubim flew out of the light portal.
Their anti-gravity suspensors hummed, and their thrusters emitted blue flames.
They jointly carried a huge metal box.
After the box was placed in front of Daniel, the Cherubim flapped their mechanical wings and flew back into the light portal.
"Hehe, finally new equipment!"
Daniel rubbed his hands, looking excited, wondering what an epic Power Armor would look like.
