As the end of the 41st Millennium approached, the Cadia Sector continuously received military forces and new equipment allocated and assigned by the Imperial Palace.
New tanks, armored vehicles, and fighter jets completely transformed the Cadia Sector's armaments. The video of the "New Modernized Warfare" personally commanded by "Imperial Prince" and "friend of the emperor" Li Feng had already spread throughout the galaxy.
Cadia and a large number of Imperial Guard were being reorganized and trained according to the video and new manuals issued by the Department of Military Affairs.
However, at the same time, a massive number of Chaos Forces-controlled spacecraft appeared in the Warp near Cadia.
These ships suddenly emerged, becoming the prelude to the long-dreaded "Despoiler," "Chaos Warmaster" Abaddon, and his Thirteenth Black Crusade.
Although the Adeptus Astartes and other orbital defense forces successfully destroyed some invaders, many ships still penetrated the blockade, attacking several important worlds and naval bases within the Star Sector, significantly weakening the region's naval power.
Subsequently, with Nurgle's terrifying battleship, the Plagueclaw, as the vanguard, the dire situation further deteriorated. This battleship appeared on the edge of the Uszwold system, spreading plague everywhere it went.
During this period, the renowned Imperial Navy Admiral Kallen attempted to pursue the Plague Fleet but was ambushed near the Franilex Dust Cloud by a Chaos Fleet led by the flagship Terminus Est, commanded by Nurgle's Herald, Typhus.
Although Kallen's fleet narrowly escaped, the Imperial Navy suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Typhus's Plague Fleet spread plague unchecked throughout the Star Sector, and even the Department of the Interior was helpless. As the plague spread, doomsday cults arose in the plague-stricken worlds, proclaiming it to be the Emperor's punishment for their sins, calling this plague the Plague of Unbelief.
Plague Zombies emerged from the dead, further exacerbating the Imperium's predicament. Especially in the Hive City world of Bellis Corona in the Agripinaa Star Sector, by the time Typhus's Plague Fleet arrived, the world was powerless to resist.
Under the influence of Chaos, the Imperial worlds in Star Sectors such as Agripinaa, Cadia, and Bellis Corona faced increasingly severe challenges.
Reports of all this were transmitted like snowflakes via the Star Chain to Holy Terra, and the High Lords, based on the intelligence at hand, had to admit the accuracy of Li Feng's prophecy that "Cadia is about to face a great war."
At the same time, the growing momentum of local cult forces on Cadia proclaimed that the Imperium had forsaken the Emperor's teachings. Due to the plague's influence, the Imperial authorities were powerless to stop the increasing chaos and cult riots. Unknown attackers launched sudden assaults in these Star Sectors, destroying small settlements and agricultural worlds.
Meanwhile, Astropaths and tarot cards continuously issued terrifying prophecies, and the Imperial Navy's Agripinaa Fleet had to retreat to base.
A greater disaster was brewing on the planet Lerlissa. A mysterious figure calling himself the "Voice of the Emperor" rose here, and his cult quickly spread to nearby worlds, inciting rebellion against Imperial rule.
This so-called "Voice of the Emperor," bearing a greatsword with a winged emblem, wielding a plasma gun and a Bolter, with a hood covering his face, was extremely mysterious.
But what was certain was... this guy was an Astartes, or rather, a "former Astartes." The existence of this individual immediately attracted the attention of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter.
On worlds such as Balor, Iax, Amist, and Arbiton, the Voice of the Emperor's cult clashed fiercely with loyal followers of the Ecclesiarchy.
Although the Officio Assassinorum attempted and failed to assassinate the "Voice of the Emperor," the conflict continued to spread, bringing endless warfare and chaos.
As the security situation around the Eye of Terror deteriorated and internal conflicts intensified, the Core of the Cadia Star Sector, Cadia itself, steadfastly resisted like a solid lighthouse.
In the face of increasing chaotic activity, the Cadia High Command issued an emergency order, summoning every regiment of the Cadia Shock Troops to rally on Cadia.
To cope with the impending reinforcements, the Cadians constructed hundreds of new landing zones at Fort Tyrok.
The Vostroyan Firstborn, as one of the most reputable combat groups in the Star Sector, their arrival was considered a crucial part of the reinforcements.
However, when the Vostroyan Firstborn landed on Cadia, they suddenly betrayed, raising the banners of the Chaos Powers, and launched a surprise attack on the Cadia forces at the Tyrok landing zone, nearly eliminating most members of the entire Cadia High Command. This act completely shocked Cadia's defense system.
At this critical juncture, the commander of Fort Tyrok, Ursarkar Creed, with his excellent command abilities, quickly organized an effective counterattack, preventing the situation from further deteriorating.
After the unfortunate demise of the previous governor, Creed took over command in a moment of crisis. He sent out a distress signal to the entire Imperium and ordered all Cadia forces to dig in and prepare for a possible long siege.
In response to Creed's plea for help, the Department of the Interior and the Adeptus Astartes began to mobilize forces to the Cadia Star Sector on an unprecedented scale and speed.
During this time, a team of elite Kasrkin from Cadia was dispatched to the Eye of Terror on a reconnaissance mission, attempting to explore the impending attack by Chaos Forces.
Unfortunately, this reconnaissance mission turned into a disaster, as the reconnaissance team was trapped on the Daemon World of Uszwold and was destroyed along with the planet by a "planet killer".
As emergency telegrams flew like snowflakes into the Terra Imperial Palace. At this time, the Imperial side had to respond; they had to send troops to secure the route for the main Imperial forces before they headed to the Eye of Terror... Terra Imperial Palace, at the entrance of the Prince's Hall.
The jeep stopped at the entrance of the newly constructed Prince's Hall. This newly built palace seemed somewhat out of place with the overall style of Terra. Compared to the grand, solemn Gothic architectural style of the large buildings, the Prince's Hall was like an office building, and its design style was very simple, emphasizing practicality, a "Bauhaus style."
At this moment, an officer wearing a tricorn hat stepped out of the jeep. His rank had changed from the Captain of Artillery when Li Feng first met him to Colonel.
The Imperial Guard guards at the door, upon seeing him, immediately performed a salute with their rifles, showing respect to the man in front of them. Soon, a handsome blonde man walked out from inside the door.
"Bonaparte, Lord Li Feng is waiting for you."
Napoleon looked at Reinhard in front of him and saluted.
"I hope I haven't kept His Excellency waiting too long."
