Chapter 975: Unexpected Reinforcements
With Gu Jing's help, the situation on the battlefield finally stabilized.
Magnus encountered someone who could rival him in the manipulation of psychic powers.
He had to use all his strength to deal with Gu Jing.
On the other hand, after Robert's pressure was greatly reduced, he got rid of his previous predicament and was able to move forward step by step.
When he came in front of Magnus, this "evil god" had to draw his magic sword and fight Robert in close combat.
At this moment, Magnus had absolutely no advantage at all.
On the contrary, he had to put most of his psychic energy into the confrontation with Gu Jing, and also had to focus on close combat to deal with Robert and his Emperor Sword.
When it comes to swordsmanship and close combat, Magnus is objectively formidable. He can tear any Space Marine or even a common Warp Daemon apart with pure physical strength.
However, if it is a confrontation on the same level, his swordsmanship and physical strength are not up to par.
Robert is indeed not the best fighter among the Son of God, but when it comes to swordsmanship, he is always better than Magnus.
Especially when Magnus's psychic power was being pulled by Gu Jing.
Magnus, who was suppressed, roared one after another.
But to no avail.
He couldn't find a way to reverse the situation.
And worse things are still happening.
In the sky, the soldiers of the Infinite Regiment and its many sub-regiments on the expeditionary ships were extremely anxious after hearing that the Father of Genes was engaged in a tough battle on the ground.
They prepared for the attack at top speed. One by one, landing craft launched from the ships. Some, more impatient, boarded the drop pods directly, drawing brilliant arcs and slamming into the lunar surface like meteors.
Airdrop pods were, of course, the fastest way to support the battle. Almost all of these pods landed in the area closest to the battlefield, some even landing directly on the heads of the demons.
Not counting those shot down mid-air, from those drop pods that successfully landed, as soon as the iron doors opened, a raging mass of Space Marines strode out. They fired their bolters furiously, quickly clearing the doorway to allow the other brethren inside to exit. After emptying their magazines, they didn't even bother to reload, drawing their chainswords or power swords and slashing at the enemy.
From time to time, Space Marines would be overwhelmed by large numbers of demons, but their battle brothers would soon avenge them, and even more Space Marines would fall from the sky.
As for the demons, it was said that their numbers were endless, but this was mainly because the warp rifts opened by Magnus before were numerous and large, and a large number of demons did rush in.
But with Gu Jing's arrival, the situation had already changed.
Not only did he 'smash' many subspace rifts when he landed, but in the subsequent confrontation with Magnus, one rift after another was gradually closed.
Magnus tried his best to stop it, but he had to deal with Robert who was holding the Emperor's Sword, so he couldn't stop it completely.
But if that were all, winning would not be so easy.
Tzeentch's evil spirit will not act without certainty.
Even though Magnus is not good at considering the overall situation and strategy, his wisdom is more focused on thinking about magic, witchcraft, and psychic power, but among the Tzeentchs, there are many who are good at conspiracy and intrigue.
Through the subspace rift, Gu Jing could already smell something else—it was the Great Demon!
There are more than one, and they are not ordinary.
Behind Magnus, on the other side of the warp rift, there is at least another nine-headed god, the Lord of Change!
The leader among them is a "famous figure" who has been recorded in the empire's top-secret history. People call him the "Weaver of Fate".
The biggest difference between it and other Changing Demon Lords is that it has two heads.
Its strength alone is probably not inferior to, or even stronger than, that of an ordinary evil god or son of God.
Not to mention the other eight gods and demons.
Any one of these gods and demons may not be able to defeat the Son of God alone, but they can definitely cause trouble to people at this level.
And if they put their energy into slaughtering ordinary mortal soldiers or Space Marines, the efficiency would be extremely high.
Magnus is still trying hard to hold on, waiting for these accomplices to come.
It was their arrival that Gu Jing stopped.
This is a force that can decide the outcome.
It's just a little difficult.
The hole we dug earlier was too big.
If Gu Jing had been there at the very beginning of the battle and hadn't allowed Magnus to create so many warp rifts, things might have been easier to deal with.
But now... although the Fate Weaver cannot come in yet, he sees that a divine Lord, the Ever-changing Demon Lord, is about to come in.
If there is one, there will be two.
One will be a great help to Magnus, and the second one will probably come soon.
They came in one after another until the Weaver of Fate also entered the battlefield, and the situation completely collapsed.
But at this moment, the two straws that broke the camel's back for Magnus and the many demons under his command were the sudden arrival of two unexpected reinforcements!
The first unexpected reinforcements came from Holy Terra!
A troop, responding to the call of the Regent and ignoring the opposition of the Holy Terra government, boarded a spaceship and arrived in the orbit above the moon. Then, they used teleportation to reach the battlefield at the fastest speed.
There were not many of them, only about two or three hundred people, but they brought huge changes to the battlefield.
Simply because most of them were wearing golden armor, and their figures were even more majestic than those of the Space Marines.
They are the Ten Thousand Man Regiment stationed in the Imperial Palace, the Emperor's Imperial Guards!
The arrival of these imperial guards easily cut into the already incomplete demon army.
Their most important goal was to send those black-armored companions in their formation to the side of Magnus and the many warp rifts.
These female warriors named 'Sisters of Silence' actually have the same function as the most important core 'Unleaked' in the Alliance's 'Spellbreaker' Legion - or even stronger!
In the presence of these Sisters of Silence, the power of the Warp should logically be suppressed and forbidden.
Although this effect did not completely deprive Magnus of his psychic spellcasting ability, it was enough to interfere with him and accelerate the closing of the warp rift.
The second force comes from the law breakers of the alliance!
Once the Terran Expeditionary Force had established a firm foothold on the moon, they sent a small veil portal device to the surface.
Now, it has been built, and a force of Alliance Spellbreakers has passed through the Veil Gate and arrived at the battlefield.
Among these law breakers, there are a full one hundred "unobstructed ones"!
Even if the suppression effect of each No-Leakage One on the subspace is slightly worse than that of the Sisters of Silence, the number is there!
