The roars and explosions in the Terra Webway rose and fell, one squad after another of Custodes continuously rushed into the Webway, relying on their formidable strength to block the endless demonic army.
However, although the Custodes were incredibly powerful, they were still flesh and blood, not gods.
Under high-intensity consumption, one or two Custodes would occasionally fall to the ground, then be pulled to the rear to rest; with the Custodes' recovery ability, as long as they weren't instantly killed, it wasn't too big of a problem.
"Just going to hold them off like this???"
Boom... a psychic blast unleashed an unparalleled force, knocking several Custodes to the ground; although they weren't harmed much, a gap appeared in the defensive line.
The subsequent Custodes immediately filled the gap upon seeing this.
Yang Tao immediately waved his magic staff.
"Radiant Totem!"
A totem pole emitting golden light appeared behind the Custodes, and warm holy light continuously healed their wounds and alleviated their fatigue.
The very next moment, two Custodes appeared beside the Radiant Totem, raising their Guardian Spears and fiercely piercing the Radiant Totem.
Unfortunately, the Radiant Totem had no Entity; it was holy light transformed from magic power.
Seeing the attack was ineffective, they quickly retreated, and a Silent Sister stepped forward, enveloping the Radiant Totem with a psychic nullification.
Yang Tao, seeing this scene, smiled at Guilliman and said, "As expected of the Custodes, so vigilant."
This couldn't be said to be the Custodes being overly sensitive; after all, with Tzeentch in the 40k World, who knew if this wasn't Tzeentch's scheme?
Guilliman didn't speak, his gaze fixed on a man also wearing Custodes armor but without a helmet.
It was well-known that in the 40k World, people who wore armor without a helmet were either perverts or ruthless individuals.
It was clear that the man in front of him was a perverted ruthless individual.
"Trajann Valoris is the seventeenth and current Captain-General of the Custodes, and also a high Lord of Terra."
Guilliman introduced the newcomer's identity to Yang Tao, who nodded slightly and observed this man among men.
Anyone who could become the Captain-General of the Custodes had deeds that could fill a million-word novel, with constant climaxes.
Trajann Valoris appeared stern and dignified, his face covered in severe scars, clearly a seasoned warrior.
"Greetings, Esteemed Yang Tao."
The other party clearly knew Yang Tao, walking over and greeting him proactively.
Guilliman looked at him and asked, "Trajann Valoris, what is the situation now?"
"Currently, they are all low-level demons, obviously planning to use the psychic energy released upon their death to expand the rift and send in stronger demons."
"However, I have already arranged for the Contemptor Dreadnoughts and Custodes Titans to be ready at all times; it is absolutely impossible for these demons to set foot on Holy Terra again."
Trajann Valoris's voice was firm and powerful; clearly, the previous Webway War had left an extremely deep impression on him—no... it should be said that for any Custodian, the Webway War and the Great Heresy were indelible disgraces.
Yang Tao looked at the blood-soaked Custodes fighting bravely and said, "Given the current intensity of the demons' attacks, the Custodes cannot sustain this indefinitely."
The demons of the Warp were endless, and they had no fear of any war of attrition.
"I plan to send some Doom Warriors and Doom Knights over; they are very experienced in prolonged battles."
The current Webway was a meat grinder; the countless demons were the best nourishment for the Doom Legion.
Trajann Valoris subconsciously wanted to refuse Yang Tao; this was Terra, and they were the Emperor's Custodes; how could they allow other legions to set foot here?
But recalling the Emperor's previous instructions, he looked at Yang Tao and nodded slightly: "Esteemed Yang Tao, your legion can come over at any time, but I hope they can follow my command."
"Of course, no problem."
Between an experienced Custodes Captain-General and him, a 'mouth-strong king' who only knew how to select and attack, he wasn't stupid and naturally knew which choice was most beneficial.
Most importantly, he didn't have to worry about the Doom Legion betraying him.
Using the Warp to notify the Doom Legion on the planet, they arrived directly at the Terra Webway entrance using Waystones.
Before long, a uniformly organized standard Doom Legion entered the passage.
They were a standard Doom Legion led by a Doom Lord, totaling 111 individuals including the Doom Lord himself.
Such a battle group could completely flatten ordinary worlds, including those of the Naruto and One Piece level.
Upon the arrival of the Priest Doom Warrior, he immediately activated healing skills, and countless green light spots merged into the bodies of the Custodes.
Not only were the Custodes' wounds healed, but their stamina was also restored.
"Esteemed Trajann Valoris, I leave them to you. Their rank is calculated by their height; the tallest one is the Doom Lord, and he can defeat Arch-demon level demons. You can have him stationed here."
Trajann Valoris: "..."
He suspected Yang Tao was boasting, but the aura inadvertently emanating from the so-called Doom Lord made him feel as if he was suffocating.
"Esteemed Yang Tao, rest assured, I will arrange them."
Upon hearing Trajann Valoris's words, Yang Tao immediately said, "Have them lead the front line; their strength will grow stronger the more they fight..."
"Uh..."
Trajann Valoris suspected he had misheard; the attribute of growing stronger with battle seemed somewhat similar to certain Chosen of Chaos Gods.
As he was contemplating, the Emperor's voice echoed in his mind.
'Listen to His arrangements in all things; His command is My will.'
The 'Yellow Weasel' had manifested!
Trajann Valoris was greatly shocked; to be honest, the Emperor's 'manifestations' in the past ten thousand years were fewer than in this past month alone.
"I understand, Esteemed Yang Tao."
With that, he turned and walked towards the Doom Legion. Having also received orders, they fixed their gaze on Trajann Valoris, gripping their Void-Gold Lances tightly, their eyes filled with fervent battle intent.
Every lively demon was a stepping stone for them to improve their strength; how could they not be excited?
Looking at the Doom Warriors and Doom Knights joining the battle like hungry wolves, Yang Tao's face showed a satisfied smile.
Compared to the Custodes, Ultramarines, Lamenters, and Astra Militarum, these Doom Warriors were truly his own people.
Guilliman looked at the Doom Warriors and said hesitantly, "Their fighting style..."
"Trading blows?"
Yang Tao smiled, completing Guilliman's sentence.
"Actually, their experience is very rich. Trading blows is to kill the enemy faster. You can look at their wounds."
Guilliman heard this and looked at the bodies of the Doom Warriors; their thick armor blocked various enemy attacks.
Occasionally, some attacks could penetrate the armor's defense, causing damage to the Doom Warriors, but the next moment, those Doom Warriors' wounds would instantly heal, and their armor also seemed alive, with damaged parts constantly repairing themselves.
