Traveling through the Warhammer world, but I didn’t cry.

When Bendict's troops were already 5 kilometers away from the Black Stone Spire, and the 250-meter-high spire became slender and small in their sight, the Battle of Cadia entered the third stage.

The green light at the top of the Black Stone Spire is getting stronger and stronger, and its color is getting richer and richer. Just observing this green and black light can cause the soldiers to develop symptoms such as dementia, numbness, and vomiting. If they wait for Bandik under the tower, Te couldn't imagine how bad the situation would be.

In the end, the green light from the spires completely transformed into black light, shooting straight into the sky. The eyes of fear that were pushed away by these spires began to enlarge, as if they were being pulled back again.

At the same time, the boundless darkness began to cover the sky, which was a scene darker than the dead starry sky. Bendict once saw a desolate place in the universe in a battleship. In the vast expanse of darkness, there were only one or two lights smaller than sesame seeds. These lights were transmitted from lonely stars tens of thousands of light years away. .

At that time, there was not even this big light in the sky, and the pure darkness spread unstoppably. Many people believed that this was the secret weapon activated by the Black Legion during the invasion. Many legions were facing the earth where the sun still existed. Opening fire in the darkness, countless laser beams and artillery shells fell into the land whose outline was no longer visible.

Bendict also joined the war against the darkness, driving a Leman Russ Command Tank equipped with a Victory Cannon.

The cannonball is loaded into the chamber, the laser is calibrated, and the cannonball is launched. After completing a set of procedures that would maximize the effectiveness of the machine soul, Bendict's eyes were fixed on the tail of the shell that could penetrate the Titan's armor through the observer's screen.

After crossing a long distance and drawing a graceful curve, the cannonball that Bendict had high hopes for fell into the darkness and exploded. Light appeared for a moment, and then was overwhelmed by darkness.

Various facts have proven that the attacks of the Imperial Army have no effect on blocking the darkness, but the tradition of the Imperial Army is to wave their swords in the face of despair. The general headquarters activated a large number of weapons of destruction buried deep underground. Tens of thousands of missiles came from all directions, shooting at the spiers that had been fixed on the surface of the planet for millions of years or more. Although the darkness obscured everything, the location was still visible. Nothing changes.

The rumble of the distant explosion was suppressed to a terrifying and deformed level, which made people panic and nervous from the bottom of their hearts. Bendict didn't know the result of the bombing, but he knew that the imperial army's struggle was not successful when he looked at the darkness before it retreated.

The darkness completely covered the planet, and the surroundings could only be seen clearly with the light emitted by the equipment. There was no sign of an enemy attack, only the firing of soldiers frightened by the darkness, and the shouts of political commissars to maintain order.

"Stand up, you cowards! Useless insects! Cadia needs you! The Emperor needs you! Be strong! Can you cry to make the enemy drop their weapons against you!"

The words of the political commissar were always so beautiful, and hearing these cold-faced and lively voices made Bendict's nervousness dissipate a lot.

Then there is the march in the dark. The headquarters is re-adjusting the planet's defense zone and removing from the list those unlucky legions who failed to escape from the Blackstone Spire.

Along the way, Bendict saw many people falling down in a daze. They were lying awake without any injuries. The medics were simply unable to deal with this situation.

Bendict's 101st Armored Regiment lost one-third of its strength during the dark march. Everyone was afraid that they would be the next to sleep in the darkness. They held icons of various shapes to pray to the emperor for protection and hope for their own safety. The family is safe and sound.

Then Bendict began to feel the numbness and nausea caused by looking directly at the light of the minaret. He felt that his fingers were very clumsy, and his whole body was stiff and cold, as if his blood had stopped flowing.

Just when Bendict thought he was about to fall asleep in the tank's cabin, he finally saw a golden light in the boundless darkness.

The golden light was not swallowed up by the darkness, but was fighting back forcefully. Some people ecstatically said that they heard the hymns sung by the nuns. The entire army, which was demoralized by the darkness, immediately cheered up and moved faster towards the area where the golden light was.

"Holy light! This is the emperor's holy light!" The mad priests of the national religion cried with joy. They were the fastest runners in the entire team.

This was a journey that Bendict would never forget in his life, and everyone's movements exuded a sense of hope. Even the notoriously skeptical commissars of the army became excited, shouting out the many duties of loyalty as they fired shots into the air and encouraged the movements of their soldiers with the roar of their bolt pistols.

They soon reached the edge of the area shrouded in holy light. They were finally able to see the ground clearly without the aid of lights, and the thick black air that was like the hands of the dead wrapped around their ankles and between the tracks disappeared.

There are several fortress cities stationed on a wide plain, the largest of which has an amazing giant church. Both sides of the corridor are filled with epic poems of saints made out of stained glass. The walls are mixed with ribs and skulls donated by devout believers. Its tall Gothic spiers are surrounded by statues of weeping angels of mercy. The highest tip is constantly rising. Shooting rich holy light towards the sky.

Bendict's troops were not the only ones rushing here. All the surviving armies in this part of the war zone appeared at the edge of the Holy Light.

Their superiors asked them to continue moving forward until they reached the foot of the fortress city. Along the way, Bendict also saw Space Marines. These Death Angels looked in a miserable state, and the influence of darkness on them seemed to be weaker than that of the Astra Militarum composed of mortals. At least Bendict had not seen dead Space Marines.

A Space Marine was hoisted by a large servitor like a puppet. His brother could only kneel on one knee, panting, and used his chainsword and arms to support himself from falling.

There are those who are weak and powerful, and there are those who are too energetic. The nuns and priests of the State Church and the sages of the Mechanicum are one of them. The mechanical priests who were wearing red cloth and gray robes and exuding a strong smell of machine oil were not too conspicuous, but the battle nuns who were wearing clean armor and holy wax oil were all shining with gold, showing their sanctity and inviolability.

Bendict didn't know why this was the case. Maybe the Battle Sisters' loyalty and love for the Emperor led to this, but wasn't this idea a disguised way of saying that the Space Marines were less loyal and less loving to the Emperor than the Sisters? Bendict did not dare to say such words, he could only think about it in his mind and continue to observe the changes in the situation.
