What William did not expect was that the High Lord had secretly reached an agreement with the devil without telling anyone.
The agreement was to exchange the three dragon knights and their chapters for the demons and the Thousand Sons to give up their attack on the Fenris system.
The Thousand Sons readily agreed, leading to the present scene.
William keenly sensed a spatial fluctuation, and in a flash, two other Ultramarines regiments appeared in the area.
However, no further support has arrived since then.
William suddenly felt something was wrong, but at this time, two companies under his command had already carried out boarding operations and rushed into the enemy ships.
After thinking for a moment, William quickly contacted the other two dragon knights and found that the orders they received were exactly the same.
They were all messages from the High Lords, saying that the Fenris system was under serious attack and urgently needed reinforcements from the Ultramarines.
Normally, the Ultramarines were not required to obey the High Lord's orders, but thinking that they were doing so to protect humanity, the other two dragon knights resolutely led their respective regiments here.
During this period, they also specifically verified the authenticity of the news with the imperial capital, and the reply they received confirmed that the news was correct.
But just as the three dragon knights were communicating with each other, the Thousand Sons Legion and the demon army, which had originally pointed their swords at the Fenris system, suddenly turned around and launched a fierce attack on the regiment led by the three dragon knights outside the planet.
At the same time, a large number of enemy fleets suddenly appeared nearby.
Although the Ultramarines quickly activated the void shield, some enemy fleets still successfully implemented boarding tactics.
In an instant, a large number of Thousand Sons and demons poured into the ship like a tide, engaging in close combat with the Ultramarines and engaging in fierce fighting.
At this point, how could William not understand that this was an elaborate trap?
He acted decisively and immediately ordered the fleet to evacuate.
The three dragon knights flapped their wings and flew away from the warship, breathing dragon breath at the enemy ships.
However, the enemy ship's shield was extremely strong, and the dragon's breath only caused ripples when it hit it, and could not cause any substantial damage to it.
The Thousand Sons seemed to be fully aware of the Dragon Knights' formidable strength, and they wisely chose to attack with their naval guns, avoiding a head-on confrontation with the Dragon Knights.
William and the other three were extremely anxious at the moment, wanting to escape from this dangerous situation, but how could they bear to abandon the battle group they led?
At this extremely critical moment, five subspace attacks filled with chaotic energy struck the three of them like lightning.
Immediately afterwards, five Thousand Sons wizards suddenly appeared on their own ship, with their staffs shining, and fired energy shocks towards William and the other three dragon knights in the universe.
One of the dragon knights shouted anxiously, "William, why on earth is this happening? Why would the High Lord do such a thing?"
William looked solemn and shook his head slowly. How could he understand the High Lord's treacherous behavior?
However, this experience of being betrayed by the human camp did make them see some cruel realities - this place is full of intrigue and deception.
But now they are in this strange alien universe, and have gained some understanding of the situation here.
They realized that apart from joining human forces to seek refuge, did they really have to plunge into the subspace full of evil and chaos?
This difficult decision weighed heavily on their hearts, while the Thousand Sons' attacks never ceased, and the situation became increasingly critical...
Facing the overwhelming offensive of the Thousand Sons, although the Dragon Knights were extremely brave, their attacks could hardly play a decisive role in the face of such a huge number.
In desperation, William and the other three could only retreat to their respective fleets and decisively issue an evacuation order.
However, how could the Thousand Sons let them go so easily?
The Thousand Sons wizards used their powerful psychic powers to invade the ship's systems like ghosts.
In the blink of an eye, the main ship's guns turned uncontrollably and opened fire on the nearby ships.
Fortunately, all the ships activated their void shields early on, so they were lucky enough not to be damaged.
Upon seeing this, William immediately used his own divine power to try to expel the evil spiritual energy.
But who could have expected that an even more powerful spiritual energy would surge in, not only instantly repelling William's divine power, but also like a tremendous force, slamming William against the wall of the ship.
William groaned and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, the Extreme Warrior beside him rushed over to support him, shouting anxiously.
William gritted his teeth, stood up with difficulty, and reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
At this time, the main ship was slowly heading towards the subspace.
William was horrified. He ignored his injuries and stumbled to the center console, asking anxiously, "What's going on? Entering the subspace now, isn't that just suicide?"
Through the window of the spaceship, he discovered with horror that the main ships of the other two regiments, like them, were being dragged into the warp little by little by a mysterious force.
William thought to himself that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but found that the ships were tightly bound and he couldn't break free at all. In the end, all three main ships were dragged into the subspace.
The moment they entered the subspace, time seemed to stand still, and all the Ultramarines maintained their previous movements, unable to move.
Just when everyone was in despair, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared like the rising sun.
This ray of light contained infinite power, and it directly threw the three main ships out of the subspace.
The stillness of time is like an invisible shackle, still firmly imprisoning the interior of the ship.
The three main ships drifted aimlessly in the vast universe, like lonely boats that had lost their way.
During this period, all parties tried to contact them, but all attempts fell on deaf ears and no response was received.
Even Guilliman personally inquired into the matter.
Through the main ship's positioning system, it was discovered that they appeared near the extreme star field.
However, what was strange was that there were only three main ships left, and all the other accompanying ships were missing. No matter how they called, there was no response.
Guilliman did not dare to delay and immediately sent several battle groups to rush to the vicinity of the Ultramarine Segmentum to rescue the three main ships and find out what had happened.
However, the news sent back by several chapter masters was disappointing. They were unable to get close to the three main ships at all, and even warp navigation could not proceed normally.
In desperation, they could only try to tow the three main ships back little by little.
After learning of the situation, Guilliman replied that he was aware and urged to bring the main ship back as soon as possible.
At the desk, Guilliman put down his pen and picked up the report, which was the message sent by the High Lord to the Ultramarines Chapter led by three Dragon Knights.
He looked at the report, snorted coldly, put the paper heavily on the table, then cast his eyes on the stone statue of the Emperor and fell into a long silence.
