After resolving the internal issues of the Ninth Fleet, Zhong Kai looked at Guilliman again, as if waiting for his reply.
After hesitating for a moment, Guilliman agreed.
Therefore, under Zhong Kai's persuasion, the entire Ninth Fleet and Guilliman's Imperial forces collectively headed for the Eye of Terror. At the same time, they stopped sending recent combat briefings to Chang Wei and covered up his dangerous actions.
When the huge combined fleet sneaked into the outskirts of the Eye of Terror, what they saw was... a steel planet called Brigantion IV, a fortress world outside the Eye of Terror!
This fortress world serves as the "outpost" for the malevolent forces of Chaos within the Eye of Terror, entering and exiting the real universe. Its rule has changed hands several times, having been occupied not only by the Night Lords, but also by the Black Legion, the Death Guard, the Sons of Vengeance, and the Brotherhood of Blood (all names of legions or warbands).
But until now, its master is the traitorous Fourth Legion - the Iron Warriors, controlled by the Chaos Lord Maneus Drax.
Despite its proximity to the Eye of Terror, it's not a Daemon World. While its surface is still saturated with Daemon energies from the Warp, humans still inhabit it. However, these humans are kept captive for sacrifice to the Chaos Gods. They are treated like livestock, some raided from beyond, others bred on this planet. Even inbreeding is tolerated, as long as population numbers are maintained.
Because their final outcome is that they lose their humanity, go crazy, and then are sacrificed to death through various cruel means!
In short, this is a huge fortress full of despair, corruption, and equipped with a large number of mechanical devices and "magic" mechanisms!
Over the past millennium, it has successfully repelled seventeen invasions from the Imperium or other Chaos forces, earning Brigantine IV the nickname "The Iron Planet".
If we were to attack this planet using the original tactics of this world, it would be hellish! We would have to be prepared for tens of billions of casualties, and we still wouldn't necessarily be able to capture it.
But now......
Hehehe hahahaha.
