"He has come to face his father. That is the purpose of this attack."

“他来面对他的父亲。这就是这次攻击的目的。”

--Malcador the Sigillite

--掌印者马卡多

The Siege of Terra was the penultimate battle of the Horus Heresy. Waged on Terra, the homeworld of humanity, the massive engagement between the forces of the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos decided not only the fate of Horus Heresy but also that of humanity.

泰拉围城是荷鲁斯叛乱的倒数第二场战斗。在人类的家园世界泰拉上，人类帝国和混沌势力之间的大规模交战不仅决定了荷鲁斯叛乱的命运，也决定了人类的命运。

Overview 概述

Prelude 序曲

Following the Drop Site Massacre, the traitorous Warmaster of the Imperium and of the Sons of Horus, Horus, had crippled three Loyalist Space Marine Legions. The Raven Guard and Salamanders were nearly destroyed, while the Iron Hands survived in larger numbers but were left leaderless. The fragmented warbands from these Shattered Legions continued hitting traitor forces during their advance upon Terra but were unable to contribute to the defense of the Throneworld itself. The Ultramarines, Space Wolves, and Dark Angels were either too far away or bogged down in their own campaigns to come for aid. Only the Imperial Fists, Blood Angels, and White Scars Space Marine Legions were in the Sol System in force.

在登陆点大屠杀之后，帝国的叛徒战帅和荷鲁斯之子瘫痪了三支忠诚的星际战士。暗鸦守卫和火蜥蜴几乎被摧毁，而钢铁之手则幸存下来，但没有了领袖。来自这些破碎军团的支离破碎的战士在向泰拉推进的过程中继续打击叛徒部队，但无法为保卫王座世界本身做出贡献。极限战士、太空野狼和黑暗天使要么离得太远，要么陷入了自己的行动中，无法前来提供援助。只有帝国之拳、圣血天使和白色伤疤星际战士在太阳系中有部队。

Facing them were the armies of Chaos under Warmaster Horus which included nine Legions of Chaos Space Marines, traitorous forces of the Imperial Army, Daemonic hordes, and the Titan Legions of the Dark Mechanicum. Mars, the capital of the Adeptus Mechanicus, had recently fallen to the traitor forces. The situation had become disastrous for the Imperium and the forces of the Emperor. Horus, sensing that he could decisively end the conflict and overthrow the Emperor once and for all, began to move on Terra. Rogal Dorn, of the Imperial Fists, was given overall command of the defenses of humanity's homeworld while the Emperor himself was busy with his own secret project, the Golden Throne. In this endeavor, the Primarch was assisted by hundreds of specialists including: Fourth Master Tacticae Terrestria Julius Gundelfo, Tacticae Osaka, Montesere and Brinlaw, Data-Adjudicator Perez Grist, Imperial Army Colonel Lin-Hu Kway, Junior Administrar Patris Sator Omes, Cogitation Overseer Arnolf Van Halmere, and Rubricator Senioris Hyton Ki.

面对他们的是战帅荷鲁斯领导下的混沌军队，其中包括九支混沌星际战士军团、帝国军队的叛徒部队、恶魔部落和黑暗机械教的泰坦军团。机械神教首都火星最近落入了叛徒之手。这种情况对帝国和帝皇的军队来说是灾难性的。荷鲁斯意识到他可以果断地结束冲突，一劳永逸地推翻帝皇，开始在泰拉上行动。帝国之拳的罗格·多恩被赋予了人类家园世界防御的全面指挥权，而帝皇本人正忙于自己的秘密项目—黄金王座。在这项工作中，原体得到了数百名专家的协助，其中包括：第四地面战术大师尤利乌斯·贡德尔福、战术参谋大阪、蒙特塞和布林劳、数据裁决员佩雷斯·格里斯特、帝国陆军上校林胡奎、初级宗主行政官萨托·奥梅斯、逻辑监督员阿诺夫·凡·哈尔米尔和高级抄写员海顿·基。

In addition to the loyalist Space Marine forces deployed in the Sol System, the loyalists were bolstered by the Custodian Guard, Sisters of Silence, millions of Imperial Army troops as well as various Mechanicum forces such as Titan Legions, Knights, Legio Cybernetica, and Skitarii. Much of Terra's population was forcibly conscripted in the stages before the battle, with millions of terrified Conscripts being handed a Lasgun with virtually no training. Most of these were deployed in the 3-layered trench network around the Walls of the Imperial Palace, with Dorn intending to save his Astartes and Mechanicum troops for the later stages of the battle.

除了部署在太阳系中的忠诚派星际战士外，忠诚派还得到了禁军、寂静修女、数百万帝国陆军部队以及各种机械教部队的支持，如泰坦军团、骑士、智控军团和护教军。泰拉的大部分人口在战斗前的阶段被强行征召入伍，数百万惊恐的几乎没有受过训练的征召兵被给予一把激光枪。其中大部分部署在皇宫城墙周围的三层战壕网络中，多恩打算在战斗的后期保存他的阿斯塔特和机械教部队。

Following the Battle of Beta-Garmon, the door to the Sol System was open and Horus finally mustered his forces on Ullanor after years of war. They included the Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Emperor's Children, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, and Iron Warriors under their respective Primarchs. These were bolstered by disparate forces of Night Lords under Captain Gendor Skraivok and 5,000 Word Bearers under Zardu Layak. The Alpha Legion left the Solar warzone after delivering a detailed map of the Sol System's defenses to Horus. During the final phase of the Solar War, Horus' forces captured the Sol System from the loyalists. All that now lay his path to victory was Terra itself. Horus intended to capture Terra before the arrival of Roboute Guilliman from the galactic east, though he deployed Perturabo and the Iron Warriors to fortify the captured Sol System against any who may intrude upon the siege.

贝塔·伽蒙战役后，太阳系的大门敞开了，荷鲁斯在多年的战争后终于在乌兰诺集结了他的部队。他们包括各自原体领导下的荷鲁斯之子、吞世者、帝皇之子、千子、死亡守卫和钢铁勇士。得到了詹多·斯卡莱沃克连长领导下的无夜领主和扎度·拉亚克领导下的5000名怀言者的不同力量的支持。阿尔法军团在向荷鲁斯交付了太阳系防御的详细地图后离开了太阳战区。在太阳战争的最后阶段，荷鲁斯的部队从忠诚派手中夺取了太阳系。现在，他通往胜利的道路上只有泰拉本身。荷鲁斯打算在罗伯特·基里曼从银河系东部抵达之前占领泰拉，他通过部署佩图拉博和钢铁勇士来加强被占领的太阳系，以抵御任何可能入侵围城的人。

The Storm Breaks 风暴来袭

On the thirteenth day of Secundus, the bombardment of Terra began. From orbit, Horus' ships laid down an unrelenting barrage of missiles and energy beams. The first shell targeted the Sanctum Imperialis, the Emperor's personal quarters, for symbolic reasons, though it did no damage and was quickly intercepted by many point defense systems. A vicious exchange of fire took place as the massive array of anti-ship gun batteries on Terra opened up on the traitor ships. Losses were incurred by both sides, but the traitor fleet in particular took heavy losses in space but endured through sheer weight of numbers. Horus' ultimate objective was the Imperial Palace, seat of the Emperor himself. The orbital bombardment was some of the most intense ever witnessed and shook even the courageous and battle-hardened loyalists Space Marines. However damage to the actual Palace itself was minimal due to a sophisticated multi-layered and self-repairing Void Shield system known as The Aegis as well as the fact that Terra's last orbital plate was placed over the Palace to serve as a shield and gun platform. However, due to a reactor flaw in one of the Aegis' reactors, a small weakness appeared in the Palace network centered around a Bastion outside the Helios Gate. Inside the depths of the Palace itself, the Emperor, attempting to keep the Golden Throne under control, could only brood over the desperate events occurring far above.

在第二的第十三日，对泰拉的轰炸开始了。从轨道上，荷鲁斯的飞船无情地发射了导弹和能量束。出于象征性的原因，第一枚炮弹瞄准了帝皇的私人住所帝国圣地，尽管它没有造成任何破坏，并很快被许多点防御系统拦截。当泰拉上的大量反舰炮台向叛徒船只开火时，发生了激烈的交火。双方都遭受了损失，但叛徒舰队在太空中尤其遭受了重大损失，但由于人数众多，他们得以承受。荷鲁斯的最终目标是皇宫，帝皇本人的所在地。轨道轰炸是有史以来最激烈的轰炸之一，甚至动摇了勇敢和久经沙场的忠诚派星际战士。然而，由于一个被称为宙斯盾的复杂的多层和自我修复的虚空盾系统，以及泰拉的最后一个轨道平台被放置在皇宫上方作为盾牌和枪炮平台的事实，对实际皇宫本身的破坏很小。然而，由于宙斯盾反应堆组中的一个反应堆存在缺陷，以日神之门外的堡垒为中心的皇宫网络出现了一个小弱点。在皇宫的深处，帝皇试图控制黄金王座，只能沉思远处发生的绝望事件。

The siege of the Imperial Palace 帝国皇宫围城

The bombardment continued for days as Perturabo probed for weaknesses in the Aegis, discovering the flaw around Bastion-16. The Aegis around this area was weakened enough to allow for slow-moving aircraft to penetrate. Despite the ragings of Angron and the boredom of Fulgrim, Horus would not launch an all-out attack yet. The Emperor's might not only prevented Daemons from manifesting on Terra, but also threatened to destroy the Daemon Primarch's should they set foot upon its soil. Magnus and Zardu Layak surmised a ritual to eliminate the Emperor's barrier by spilling enough blood across Terra. Horus began to increasingly spend his time comatose, his spirit inside the Warp searching for lore as well as weakening the Emperor's spirit, eventually designating First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon as his proxy.After 12 days the bombardments continued, but were matched with the first ground assaults. Thousands of traitor vessels crashed into Terra's surface. Many were destroyed by the Palace defenses, but many more landed and unleashed endless hordes of Traitor Imperial Army, Beastmen, Cultists, and Mutants. These were largely distractionary measures to support the traitors' true objectives as they ravaged the planet, as well as support the traitor aerial attacks on the Palace's anti-ship guns and void shield generators. The loyalists responded with their own aerial defenses, and massive dogfights erupted over the Palace as the conscripts outermost trenches around the walls held against the attacks by the Lost and the Damned. While the Palace held, elsewhere across Terra major population centers fell such as Lundun, Noy Zaylant Hive, Neork, and Braslya.

轰炸持续了好几天，佩图拉博探测了宙斯盾的弱点，发现了巴斯蒂安-16周围的缺陷。该区域周围的宙斯盾被削弱到足以让缓慢移动的飞机穿透。尽管安格隆怒不可遏，福格瑞姆也很无聊，荷鲁斯还没有发动全面进攻。帝皇的力量不仅阻止了恶魔在泰拉上显现，还威胁说，如果他们踏上泰拉的土地，就会摧毁恶魔原体。马格努斯和扎杜·拉亚克推测，有一种仪式是通过在泰拉上洒下足够的鲜血来消除帝皇的屏障。荷鲁斯开始越来越多地把时间花在冥想上，他在亚空间中的精神在寻找知识，同时削弱了帝皇的精神，最终指定第一连长以泽凯尔·阿巴顿为他的代理人。12天后，轰炸仍在继续，与第一次地面进攻相照应。数千艘叛徒船只撞上了泰拉的表面。许多人被皇宫的防御摧毁，但更多的人登陆并释放了无尽的叛徒帝国军队、野兽人、邪教徒和变种人。这些主要是分散注意力的措施，以支持叛徒在蹂躏泰拉时的真正目标，以及支持叛徒对宫殿反舰火炮和虚空盾发生器的空袭。忠诚派以自己的防空系统作为回应，在皇宫上空爆发了大规模的混战，征召兵在城墙周围的最外战壕抵御了迷失者和被诅咒者的袭击。当保持皇宫时，泰拉其他主要人口中心如伦敦、诺伊扎兰特巢都、纽克和布拉斯亚都沦陷了。

The pattern of orbital attack, landings by traitor rabble, and aerial assault repeated itself for weeks before the Death Guard fleet under the now-corrupted Mortarion arrived at Terra. True to his earlier word to let Mortarion's legion be the first to set foot upon Terra, Horus prepared to use the Death Guard in the first Astartes-led assaults on the Palace. This caused Angron to rage, and to prevent him from destroying his own flagship The Conqueror he was teleported by World Eaters 8th Company Kharn into the ever-shifting labyrinth originally built for Vulkan aboard the Night Lords flagship Nightfall. On the seventh of Quartus the first Death Guard Drop Pods landed on Terra's soil as the Nine Disciples of Kelbor-Hal each beached one of their Ark Mechanicus-class Battleships around the Palace. The Void Shields and bulk of the Ark Mechanicus vessels allowed for the traitors to establish their first real footholds around the Palace, and as the Death Guard unleashed gas and plagues upon the trenches around the walls the Dark Mechanicum set about their work of constructing siege engines. The Death Guard assault on the outermost trenches around the Palace was about to break the Imperial Army defenders until Jaghatai Khan, defying Dorn's orders to remain in the palace, led a Jetbike charge by the White Scars. The Scars pushed past the traitor frontline into their siege camps before the Khan was finally forced from his Jetbike. Jaghatai slew dozens of Death Guard until he was wounded by a Warp-tainted poisoned blade. Ultimately Sanguinius had to sortie out of the Palace with his Sanguinary Guard to rescue Jaghatai, who recovered from his Warp sickness as soon as he began to move closer to the Sanctum Imperialis and the psychic might of the Emperor. The Khan's move was not reckless however, he also gathered valuable intelligence on the siege engines the traitors were constructing. Meanwhile aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Horus finally allowed Perturabo to begin his preparations to clear landing zones around the Palace for their Titans.

轨道攻击、叛徒乌合之众登陆和空袭的模式在现在腐化的莫塔里安领导的死亡守卫舰队抵达泰拉之前重复了数周。正如他早些时候所说的，让莫塔里安的军团成为第一个踏上泰拉的人，荷鲁斯准备在阿斯塔特领导的对皇宫的第一次进攻中使用死亡守卫。这引起了安格隆的愤怒，为了防止他摧毁自己的旗舰征服者号，他被吞世者第八连的卡恩传送到最初为沃坎建造的位于午夜领主旗舰夜幕降临号上不断移动的迷宫中。在第四的第七日，第一个死亡守卫空投舱降落在泰拉的土地上，因为凯尔博·哈尔的九名弟子每人在皇宫周围搁浅了一艘机械方舟级战舰。虚空盾和机械方舟的大部分船体允许叛徒在皇宫周围建立他们的第一个真正的立足点，当死亡守卫在城墙周围的战壕上释放气体和瘟疫时，黑暗机械教开始建造攻城引擎。死亡守卫对皇宫周围最外层战壕的袭击即将摧毁帝国军队的防御者，直到察合台可汗无视多恩留在皇宫的命令，率领白色伤疤的喷气式摩托冲锋。在可汗最终被迫离开他的喷气式摩托之前，白色伤疤越过叛徒前线进入了他们的围城营地。察合台杀死了数十名死亡守卫，直到他被一把被亚空间污染的毒刃打伤。最终，圣吉列斯不得不带着他的圣血卫队冲出皇宫去营救察合台，他一开始靠近帝国圣地和帝皇的灵能力量，就从亚空间疾病中康复了。然而，可汗的举动并非鲁莽，他还收集了有关叛徒正在建造的攻城车的宝贵情报。与此同时，在复仇之魂号上，荷鲁斯终于允许佩图拉博开始准备为泰坦清理皇宫周围的着陆区。

The Dark Mechanicum siege camps around the Imperial Palace 黑暗机械教在皇宫周围的攻城营地

On the Fifteenth of Quartus, the traitors initiated their dual plan to break The Aegis and allow for the manifestation of Daemons upon Terra. A giant projected face of Zardu Layak appeared on an island of bones which descended from the sky, urging the commoners of Terra to rise up against the Emperor and ensuring them that if they turned to Horus now they would be spared. The Palace guns could not silence the corporeal island, and after his speech concluded it began to rain blood. The blood signaled that the traitors had finally undertaken their ritual to weaken the Emperor's psychic barrier, and the Mechanicum released their Daemon Engines. Eight "Warp-Bane" guns constructed near the sites of the beached Ark Mechanicus vessels opened up on the Aegis Shield around the Palace, sapping it of its energies as the Death Guard deployed massive Towers of Nurgle at the walls. As the Aegis gave way the traitor bombardment finally was able to hit the Palace defenses directly, causing massive devastation and allowing for a Night Lords Raptor assault on the Eternity Wall. The outermost trenches around the Palace Walls were now untenable, but Sanguinius opened up the Helios Gate and led a massive counterattack by the Blood Angels and Imperial Fists as well as Titans of the Legio Solaria. Sanguinius knew victory was impossible, but had his Astartes buy enough time to allow for the Imperial Army conscripts to make it inside the walls and allow for Titans to destroy the incoming Towers of Nurgle. On top of the Eternity Wall itself, Blood Angels First Captain Raldoron bested the acting Night Lords commander Gendor Skraivok and threw him from the Walls. It was in this maelstrom of destruction that Angron himself fell from the sky, having been released from the bowels of the Nightfall. After massacring his way through friend and foe alike to the Eternity Wall Angron bellowed a challenge to Sanguinius, who saluted his fallen brother and stated that while they would battle one day, today was not that day. Angron raged, but could not proceed any further due to the lingering effects of the Emperor.

在第四的第十五日，叛徒们开始了他们的双重计划，即打破宙斯盾，允许恶魔在泰拉上显现。扎度·拉亚克的一张巨大的投影脸出现在一个从天而降的骸骨之岛上，敦促泰拉的平民起来反抗帝皇，并确保他们如果现在转向荷鲁斯，他们将幸免于难。皇宫的枪炮无法让这座有形的岛屿安静下来，在他的演讲结束后，它开始下起了血雨。鲜血表明，叛徒们终于开始了削弱帝皇灵能屏障的仪式，黑暗机械教释放了他们的恶魔引擎。在搁浅的机械方舟附近建造的八门“亚空间之灾”火炮在皇宫周围的宙斯盾上开火，当死亡守卫在墙上部署巨大的纳垢之塔时，它的能量被消耗殆尽。随着宙斯盾的屈服，叛徒的轰炸终于能够直接击中皇宫的防御，造成了巨大的破坏，并允许午夜领主猛禽攻击永恒之墙。皇宫城墙周围的最外层战壕现在已经无法维持，但圣吉列斯打开了日神之门，并领导了圣血天使、帝国之拳以及日晷军团的泰坦的大规模反击。圣吉列斯知道胜利是不可能的，但他让他的阿斯塔特部队争取了足够的时间，让帝国军队的征召兵进入城墙，让泰坦摧毁了即将到来的纳垢之塔。在永恒之墙之上，圣血天使第一连长拉多隆击败了临时午夜领主指挥官詹多·斯卡莱沃克，并将他从墙上扔了下来。正是在这场毁灭的漩涡中，安格隆从夜幕降临号的深处被释放出来，从天空坠落。在屠杀了他的朋友和敌人，到达永恒之墙后，安格隆向圣吉列斯发出了挑战，圣吉列斯向他堕落的兄弟致敬，并表示虽然他们总有一天会战斗，但今天不是那一天。安格隆怒不可遏，但由于帝皇挥之不去的影响，他无法再继续下去。

Battle for Lion's Gate Spaceport 狮门太空港之战

Though the rest of Terra was in chaos or in Traitor hands, the Palace stood firm. All traitor attacks against the walls failed to achieve a breakthrough, and the Emperor's psychic shield endured strong enough to keep the Daemon Primarch's from the Palace. In order to further the weakened Emperor's barrier, both Horus and Magnus launched psychic attacks against Him. Magnus utilized the gestalt Daemon Shai-Tan in the attacks. At Horus' command Mortarion attacked near the Saturnine Gate turning the previously lavish Palatine Arc into an infected quagmire nicknamed Poxville. Angron fruitlessly rampaged outside of the Helios Gate, and Fulgrim's degenerate hordes launched raids to both the west and north. The Emperor's Children were already beginning to leave the frontline, instead taking prisoners for their own perverse reasons. Of Magnus there was no sign, and not even Malcador could ascertain his true intentions. In this stalemate, Horus placed Perturabo in charge of achieving a major breakthrough. Perturabo surmised that the Lion's Gate Spaceport was both the weakest and strongest points in the Palace's defenses. Taking it would allow the traitors to land badly needed Titans and give the traitors access to both the Inner and Outer Palaces. At the same time however, it was one of the most heavily defended bastions. This did not deter Perturabo, and he shocked his First Captain Forrix by placing Kroeger in charge of the assault on the Spaceport. Perturabo hoped that Koreger's bluntness would shock Dorn, who had planned for a more sophisticated attack.

尽管泰拉的其他地区处于混沌或叛徒手中，但皇宫依然屹立不倒。所有叛徒对城墙的攻击都没有取得突破，帝皇的灵能屏障足够强大，可以阻止大魔进入皇宫。为了进一步削弱帝皇的屏障，荷鲁斯和马格努斯都对他发动了灵能攻击。马格努斯在进攻中使用了格式塔恶魔撒丹。在荷鲁斯的指挥下，莫塔里安在土星之门附近发动袭击，将之前奢华的帕拉蒂尼穹顶变成了一个被称为疫病之城的感染泥潭。安格隆在日神之门外横冲直撞，毫无结果，副歌瑞姆的堕落部落向西部和北部发动了袭击。帝皇之子已经开始离开前线，因为他们自己的反常原因而俘虏人。马格努斯没有任何迹象，甚至马卡多也无法确定他的真实意图。在这种僵局中，荷鲁斯让佩图拉博负责实现重大突破。佩图拉博推测，狮门太空港是皇宫防御中最薄弱和最坚固的地方。夺取它将使叛徒能够获得急需的泰坦，并让叛徒进入内外殿。然而，与此同时，它也是防御最严密的堡垒之一。这并没有阻止佩图拉博，他让克罗格尔负责对太空港的袭击，这让他的第一连长弗里克斯感到震惊。佩图拉博希望克罗格尔的直率会让多恩感到震惊，因为多恩已经计划了一次更复杂的攻击。

The Imperial Palace under siege 围攻下的帝国皇宫

The Imperial Forces at the Lion's Gate Spaceport numbered 18,000 Imperial Fists and nearly 800,000 Imperial Army troops under the command of Fafnir Rann. To break this, the traitors amassed a massive force of their own. 25,000 Iron Warriors, thousands more World Eaters under Kharn, 2,308 Basilisks, 1,500 Manticores, 13 Bombards, 476 Deathstrike Missile Launchers, 495 Medusas, 84 Typhon Heavy Siege Tanks, 7,108 Thunderburst towed guns, 306 Siege Dreadnoughts, and tens of thousands of Astartes tanks representing 80% of the Iron Warriors Legion's Armor. Supporting this were 1.5 million traitor Imperial Army troops and untold numbers of Beastmen, Mutants, and Cultists.

狮门太空港的帝国军队在法夫尼尔·兰恩的指挥下拥有18000名帝国之拳和近80万帝国军队。为了打破这一局面，叛徒们聚集了一支庞大的力量。25000名钢铁勇士，还有数千名卡恩手下的吞世者，2308辆石化蜥蜴，1500辆蝎尾狮，13辆臼炮，476辆死亡直击导弹发射器，495辆美杜莎，84辆提丰重型攻城坦克，7108门雷爆牵引火炮，306名攻城无畏，以及数万辆阿斯塔特坦克，占钢铁勇士军团装甲的80%。支援者是150万叛徒帝国军队和无数的野兽人、变种人和邪教徒。

Despite the apprehensions of Forrix, Kroeger chose not to launch a massive preliminary bombardment and instead launched an immediate attack on the Walls outside the Lion's Gate Spaceport. To the surprise of the traitors the Fists under Fafnir Rann forayed out of the Spaceport and formed a Shield Wall, pressing the Lost and the Damned masses together as Astarted armor moved around on their flanks. The armored encirclement decimated the traitors, wiping out 300,000 troops in under two hours. The traitor attack stalled until the appearance of Angron himself, who managed to turn the tide. However as the Emperor's psychic shield prevented the Daemon Primarch from moving into the Palace Walls, the traitors failed to take the Spaceport. Following the failed attack, Perturabo realized that to take the Walls they must combat the immaterial might of the Emperor, Horus agreed, and gave Perturabo the support of Zardu Layak and Abaddon as well as Typhon. The four moved back down to the Palace Perimeter and enacted a ritual that would summon Cor’bax Utterblight into the minds of the mortal defenders of the Palace, forcing the Emperor's psyche to its limits. Meanwhile at the orders of Kroeger Forrix and 1,000 Iron Warriors infiltrated into the Spaceport, using the earlier attack as a smokescreen to move in and seize the bridges between the Spaceport and Lion's Gate itself. However in truth Kroeger intended to abandon Forrix behind enemy lines, or at the very least simply didn't care enough to lend him support. Shortly after Forrix's infiltration, 3,000 Sons of Horus under Abaddon alongside forces from the World Eaters under Kharn and Iron Warriors under Kroeger and Berossus attacked the upper tiers of the Spaceport.

尽管弗里克斯感到担忧，克罗格尔选择不进行大规模的初步轰炸，而是立即对狮门太空港外的城墙发动了攻击。令叛徒们惊讶的是，法夫尼尔·兰恩率领的帝国之拳部队突袭了太空港，形成了一道盾墙，将迷失者和被诅咒者压在一起，而阿斯塔特装甲部队在他们的侧翼移动。装甲包围圈摧毁了叛徒，在两个小时内消灭了30万名士兵。叛徒的攻击一直停滞不前，直到安格隆本人出现，他设法扭转了局势。然而，由于帝皇的灵能屏障阻止了恶魔原体进入皇宫城墙，叛徒未能占领太空港。袭击失败后，佩图拉博意识到，要占领城墙，他们必须对抗帝皇的非物质力量，荷鲁斯同意了，并给予佩图拉博扎杜·拉亚克、阿巴顿和泰丰斯的支援。四人回到皇宫周围，并举行了一项仪式，将科尔'巴克斯·枯毁召唤到皇宫的凡人防御者的脑海中，迫使帝皇的灵能达到极限。与此同时，在克罗格尔和弗里克斯的命令下，1000名钢铁勇士渗透到太空港，利用早些时候的袭击作为烟幕，进入并夺取太空港和狮门之间的桥梁。然而，事实上，克罗格尔打算把弗里克斯抛弃在敌后，或者至少根本不在乎给他支援。弗里克斯渗透后不久，阿巴顿手下的3000名荷鲁斯之子，以及卡恩手下的吞世者和克罗格尔和贝罗索斯手下的钢铁勇士，袭击了太空港的上层。

Dorn agreed to provide Rann with reinforcements under Sigismund to prevent a total traitor victory at the Spaceport. During the defense Rann was wounded by Kroeger but saved by Sigismund, who led a vicious counterattack. It soon became apparent that the Iron Warriors attempt to seize the bridges had been simply a feint. Perturabo used Forrix's men to shield his true intentions, docking the Iron Blood with the Space Port's space elevator facilities and unloading waves of new reinforcements. The defection of the Addaba Free Corps prevented Dorn from sending reinforcements and the situation collapsed for the loyalists. In the ensuing brawl Sigismund battled Kharn, but while the First Captain was the superior warrior the World Eater's Captain was now infused with Khornate strength. Sigismund was bested, but saved by the appearance of Rogal Dorn himself who slapped away Kharn like an insect. Abaddon refused to allow Kharn to die and led a counterattack to save the World Eater, forcing Layak to intervene in order to save the future Warmaster of Chaos from the Primarch's wrath. Layak held off Dorn for a time with his sorcerous power, but was eventually slain. However, as he died he opened a portal to the Warp which allowed the first Daemon's to manifest on Terra. With the situation now hopeless, Dorn ordered a withdrawal as Perturabo himself landed in the Spaceport. The two brothers came face to face, but both refused to waste their time and resources engaging one another in a fruitless duel. Perturabo had taken the First Wall, but there were still many more left to capture before the Sanctum Imperialis. Perturabo was undeterred as he oversaw the landing of the first Traitor Titans from the Legio Fureans upon Terra.

多恩同意在西吉斯蒙德的指挥下向兰恩提供增援，以防止叛徒在太空港取得彻底胜利。在防御期间，兰恩被克罗格尔打伤，但被西吉斯蒙德救下，西吉斯蒙德领导了一场猛烈的反击。很快，钢铁勇士们夺取桥梁的企图显然只是一种佯攻。佩图拉博利用弗里克斯的人来掩盖他的真实意图，将铁血号与太空港的太空电梯设施对接，并卸载一波又一波的新增援部队。阿达巴自由军的叛逃使多恩无法派遣增援部队，忠诚派的处境也随之崩溃。在随后的战斗中，西吉斯蒙德与卡恩作战，但当第一连长是更优秀的战士时，吞世者的连长现在被注入了恐虐的力量。西吉斯蒙德被击败，但罗格·多恩本人的出现拯救了他，他像一只扇昆虫一样扇了卡恩一耳光。阿巴顿拒绝让卡恩死去，并领导了一场反击以拯救吞世者，迫使拉亚克进行干预，以拯救未来的混沌战帅免受原体之怒。拉亚克用他的魔法力量挡住了多恩一段时间，但最终被杀了。然而，当他死去时，他打开了一个通往亚空间的门户，让第一个恶魔在泰拉上显现。随着局势的绝望，多恩下令撤军，而佩图拉博本人也降落在了太空港。两兄弟面对面交锋，但都拒绝浪费时间和资源，进行一场徒劳无功的决斗。佩图拉博已经占领了第一道墙，但在帝国圣地之前还有更多的东西要占领。佩图拉博没有被吓倒，因为他监督了第一批来自狂热者军团的叛徒泰坦登陆泰拉。

Meanwhile inside the Inner Palace, Euphrati Keeler's Lectitio Divinitatus continued to gain influence in the throngs of refugees and desperate. However, their faith was a deception by Chaos, which allowed Utterblight to manifest inside the Sanctum Imperialis itself. Thanks to the efforts of Malcador, Sisters of Silence, and Amon Tauromachian total disaster was averted, but the incident combined with the constant immaterial assaults by Horus and Magnus forced the Emperor's psychic shield to reduce to only around the Sanctum Imperialis. With the Emperor weakened, massive amounts of Daemons were summoned on Terra for the first time. Meanwhile, Angron led a horde of World Eaters towards the Eternity Wall. Dorn was not shocked by the fall of the Spaceport, and in fact, was satisfied that he had held it longer than he thought he would. All that mattered to the Primarch was to buy enough time for Guilliman to arrive.

与此同时，在内殿内，幼发拉底·琪乐的《圣言录》继续在难民和绝望的人群中获得影响力。然而，他们的信仰是混沌的欺骗，这使得枯毁在帝国圣所内部得以显现。由于马卡多、寂静修女和阿蒙·陶罗玛奇的努力，灾难得以避免，但这一事件与荷鲁斯和马格努斯不断的非物质攻击相结合，迫使帝皇的灵能屏障只能减少到帝国圣地周围。随着帝皇的削弱，大量的恶魔首次被召唤到泰拉上。与此同时，安格隆带领一群吞世者走向永恒之墙。多恩对太空港的倒塌并不感到震惊，事实上，他很满意自己能比想象中坚持更长时间。对原体来说，重要的是为基里曼的到来争取足够的时间。

Defense of the Lion's Gate 狮门防御

With Horus still isolating himself aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Perturabo became the general commander of the traitor war effort, maintaining a war council alongside the Mournival, Eidolon, Typhus, Ahriman, and Krostovok. On the 19th day of Quintus, the Traitors unleashed a massive assault with weapons of mass destruction and other high-yield weaponry which utterly annihilated the Magnifican, the northeastern half of the Palace megastructure. The operation was overseen by three Iron Warriors Stor-Bezashk. In the wake of the mass explosions Gastraphetes, Gravitic Ballistas, Manuballistas, Torsion Engines, Graviton Onagers, Trebuchets, and Accelerator Mangonels unleashed a bombardment against the next line of Loyalist defenses. They fired ouslite, chemical, incendiary or tungsten ordnance while others simply recycled the destroyed masonry of the Magnifican, hurling it back at the defenders. The enormous explosions and impacts created a cloud of ash that caused perpetual night on Terra. Though the Magnifican had already largely fallen to the traitors, Perturabo destroyed this section in order to prevent remaining loyalists from using the massive urban sprawl as cover for delaying actions.

由于荷鲁斯仍在复仇之魂号上自我隔离，佩图拉博成为了叛徒战争的总指挥，与四王议会、艾多隆、泰丰斯、阿里曼和克罗斯托沃克一起维持了一个战争议会。在第五的第十九日，叛徒们用大规模杀伤性武器和其他高辐射武器发动了一场大规模袭击，彻底摧毁了皇宫巨型结构的东北半部壮丽扩区。这次行动由三名钢铁勇士破城宿卫监督。在大规模爆炸之后，腹弩炮、重力腹弩炮、手持弩机、扭曲引擎、重力投射炮、投射炮和加速投射炮对下一道忠诚派防线发动了轰炸。他们发射了弹药、化学武器、燃烧弹或钨弹，而其他人则简单地回收了被摧毁的壮丽扩区砖石，将其扔回防御者。巨大的爆炸和撞击产生了一团火山灰，在泰拉上造成了永恒的黑夜。尽管壮丽扩区在很大程度上已经落入叛徒之手，但佩图拉博摧毁了这一地区，以防止剩下的忠诚派利用大规模的城市扩张作为拖延行动的掩护。

Angron attacks the Imperial Palace 安格隆攻击帝国皇宫

Following the fall of the Lion's Gate Spaceport on the 11th of Quintus, the loyalist situation had become dire as most of the Sprawling Magnifica was now in traitor hands. Four key areas were now threatened by the traitors: the Colossi Gate, the Eternity Wall Spaceport, the Saturnine Gate, and Gorgon Bar. Perturabo and Abaddon both noticed a minor flaw in the Saturnine Gate, a small crack in its subterranean barrier that laid along a fault line opened by the intense orbital bombardment. If this could be exploited, the entire inner Saturnine Gate complex could be rapidly captured and allow the Sanctum Imperialis to fall in a matter of weeks instead of months. Meanwhile, Rogal Dorn only had enough resources to hold three of these locations, and reluctantly had to abandon a fourth and its defenders to annihilation. Dorn ultimately chose the Eternity Wall Spaceport, as since they did not command the orbit above Terra such a facility was useless to them anyway. In addition, Dorn suspected Perturabo knew of the flaw in the Saturnine Gate and set a trap there to annihilate the traitors as they attempted to exploit it. The four battles erupted near-simultaneously.

在第五的第十一日狮门太空港陷落后，忠诚派的处境变得十分严峻，因为大多数壮丽扩区现在都在叛徒手中。四个关键区域现在受到了叛徒的威胁：巨像之门、永恒之墙太空港、土星之门和戈尔贡障碍。佩图拉博和阿巴顿都注意到土星之门的一个小缺陷，这是土星之门地下屏障上的一条小裂缝，沿着强烈的轨道轰击打开的断层延伸。如果能够利用这一点，整个土星之门内部建筑群可以迅速被占领，并使帝国圣地在几周而不是几个月内沦陷。与此同时，罗格·多恩只有足够的资源来控制其中三个地点，并且不得不不情愿地放弃第四个地点及其防御者。多恩最终选择了永恒之墙太空港，因为由于他们没有指挥泰拉上方的轨道，这样的设施对他们来说无论如何都是无用的。此外，多恩怀疑佩图拉博知道土星之门的缺陷，并在那里设下陷阱，消灭试图利用它的叛徒。四场战斗几乎同时爆发。

At Gorgon Bar, Blood Angels Primarch Sanguinius and Imperial Fists Captain Fafnir Rann oversaw the defenses against a large Iron Warriors-led assault under Yzar Chroniates, Ormon Gundar, and Bogdan Mortel. During the battle, Sanguinius destroyed a Warlord Titan of the Legio Vulpa by boarding its head and impaling it with the Spear of Telesto. Such was the spectacle that three accompanying traitor Warhound Titans fled from Sanguinius' sight. Thanks to the inspiration provided by Sanguinius, the traitor assault at Gorgon Bar was broken when the defenders drove the Iron Warriors from the towers of the Fourth Circuit Wall. At the Colossi Gate, the defenders were led by Primarch Jaghatai Khan, Blood Angels First Captain Raldoron, Marshal Aldana Agathe, and Custodes Captain-General Constantin Valdor. Not wanting to wage a purely defensive war and wishing to eventually retake the Lion's Gate Spaceport, Jaghatai Khan led a 300-strong Jetbike charge from the Colossi Gate that devastated Death Guard-led forces until at the last moment the White Scars withdrew back to their own lines. Magnus and Ahriman along with a cabal of Sorcerers from the Order of Ruin subsequently launched a psychic assault on the defenders, sapping their will to fight and summoning vast amounts of Daemons including eight gigantic Warhound Titan-sized monsters. However thanks to the defensive storms erected by Jaghatai Khan's Stormseer's led by Naranbaatar, the loyalists were able to hold the line.

在戈尔贡障碍，圣血天使原体圣吉列斯和帝国之拳连长法夫尼尔·兰恩监督了对伊扎尔·克罗尼亚泰斯、奥蒙·贡达尔和博格丹·莫尔泰尔领导的大型钢铁战士进攻的防御。在战斗中，圣吉列斯用毕功之矛刺穿了鬼狐军团的一名军阀泰坦。就这样，三名随行的叛徒战犬泰坦从圣吉列斯的视线中逃走了。多亏了圣吉列斯的启发，当防御者将钢铁勇士从第四层城墙的塔楼上赶走时，戈尔贡障碍的叛徒袭击被打破了。在巨像之门，守军由察合台可汗、圣血天使第一连长拉多隆、元帅阿尔达娜·阿加西和禁军总司令康斯坦丁·瓦尔多率领。察合台可汗不想发动一场纯粹的防御战争，希望最终夺回狮门太空港，他从巨像之门率领300多人的喷气式摩托冲锋，摧毁了死亡守卫领导的部队，直到最后一刻白色疤痕撤退回自己的战线。马格努斯和阿里曼以及来自毁灭密会的一群巫师随后对防御者发动了灵能攻击，削弱了他们的战斗意志，并召唤了大量的恶魔，包括八只巨大的战犬泰坦大小的怪物。然而，由于纳兰巴达领导的察合台可汗的风暴先知竖起了防御风暴，忠诚派得以守住防线。

With the tacit approval of Perturabo, Sons of Horus First Captain Abaddon led a massive assault on the Saturnine Gate, hoping to exploit the flaw observed there. At the Saturnine Gate, three Donjon Pattern Siege Engines led the attack, which consisted of the full strength of the Emperor's Children (some 100,000 Space Marines) under Fulgrim himself. Meanwhile, Abaddon himself alongside Horus Aximand, Falkus Kibre, and Tormageddon led a spear-tip assault from Mantolith and Plutona assault drills beneath the Saturnine Gate, hoping to exploit the gap. His forces consisted of not only the elite Justaerin and Reaver Attack Squad but also the 18th and 25th Companies under Tybalt Marr and Lev Goshen. However Dorn was ready for them, and organized a series of kill-teams under Garviel Loken and Nathaniel Garro to ambush the traitors as they emerged from beneath the earth. In addition, Arkhan Land was able to fill the breach with fast-drying sealant, entombing many traitors beneath the walls, including the majority of 25th Company and Goshen. In a series of brutal massacres, the Sons of Horus were beaten back and Aximand, Kibre, and Tormageddon were all slain. Abaddon himself barely escaped with his life after reluctantly ordering a withdrawal. Above, Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children wreaked havoc but the Imperial Fists defenders were able to use their defenses to hold back a force ten times their size. Dorn himself soon arrived, briefly battling Fulgrim before the Phoenician learned the subterranean assault had failed and now fed up with his traitor allies, left the battlefield. However before Fulgrim departed, he summoned his elite guard under Eidolon to kill Dorn. The Primarch alongside Sigismund were able to defeat Fulgrim's assassins as the Emperor's Children retreated after taking 18,000 casualties. Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children had grown bored of the stalemate and set off on a bloody orgy against the people of Terra of such depravity and destruction that ten thousand years later, Terrans are still distrustful of Space Marines.

在佩图拉博的默许下，荷鲁斯之子第一连长阿巴顿对土星之门发动了大规模进攻，希望利用那里观察到的漏洞。在土星之门，三台塔楼型攻城引擎领导了这次攻击，其中包括副歌瑞姆本人率领的帝皇之子（约10万名星际战士）的全部兵力。与此同时，阿巴顿本人与荷鲁斯·阿西曼德、法库斯·凯博和托玛吉顿一起，从土星之门下在地幔岩和冥王星突击钻中率领矛尖攻击，希望利用这一缺口。他的部队不仅包括精英的加斯塔林和掠夺者攻击小队，还包括提伯特·玛尔和李维·高盛领导的第18和第25连队。然而，多恩已经为他们做好了准备，并在加维尔·洛肯和纳撒尼尔·伽罗的带领下组织了一系列杀戮小队，在叛徒从地下出现时伏击他们。此外，阿坎·兰德能够用快干密封剂填补缺口，将许多叛徒埋在墙下，包括第25连和高盛的大部分人。在一系列残酷的屠杀中，荷鲁斯之子被击退，阿西曼德、凯博和托玛吉顿全部被杀。阿巴顿本人在不情愿地下令撤军后，几乎没有逃脱。上面，福格瑞姆和帝皇之子造成了严重破坏，但帝国之拳的守军能够利用他们的防御来阻止一支十倍于他们规模的部队。多恩自己很快就到了，在腓尼基人得知地下进攻失败之前，他曾短暂地与福格瑞姆作战，现在厌倦了他的叛徒盟友，离开了战场。然而，在福格瑞姆离开之前，他召集了艾多隆手下的精锐卫队去杀了多恩。随着帝皇之子在伤亡18000人后撤退，原体与西吉斯蒙德一起击败了福格瑞姆的刺客。福格瑞姆和帝皇之子已经厌倦了僵局，开始了一场针对泰拉人民的血腥狂欢，这种堕落和破坏在一万年后，泰拉人仍然不信任星际战士。

Despite the decisive victory at the Saturnine Gate and the defensive successes in holding Gorgon Bar and Colossi, just as Dorn predicted the Eternity Wall Spaceport was doomed. Defenders in the area were led by Imperial Fists Captain Camba Diaz, White Scars Captain Shiban Khan, High Primary Solar General Saul Niborran, and Sisters of Silence Commander Jenetia Krole. The commanders knew that Dorn had no intent of reinforcing them, but not wishing to abandon their doomed troops did not evacuate. Camba Diaz died slaying scores of traitors on the Pons Solar bridge, refusing to take a step back. Shortly after Angron himself arrived, and in a moment of clarity requested the surrender of Space Port. Niborran and his Imperial Army troopers responded by blasting Angron to pieces with the Port's gun batteries, though the traitor Primarch quickly regenerated. Niborran and his men alongside Krole all fought to the death against a savage World Eaters assault led by Angron, Kharn, and Khornate Titans. Shiban Khan was thought slain in a shuttle crash while trying to help the last Imperial Army troopers under his command evacuate. Meanwhile at the edge of the Sol System, a contingent of 10,000 Dark Angels under Captain-Paladin Corswain arrived to help defend Terra.

尽管在土星之门取得了决定性的胜利，并在防守上成功守住了戈尔贡障碍和巨像之门，但正如多恩预测的那样，永恒之墙太空港注定要失败。该地区的防御者由帝国之拳连长坎巴·迪亚兹、白色伤疤连长昔班可汗、至高之主太阳将军索尔·尼伯兰和寂静修女指挥官珍提亚·科勒领导。指挥官们知道多恩无意增援他们，但不想放弃他们注定要失败的部队，所以没有撤离。坎巴·迪亚兹在太阳之桥上杀害了数十名叛徒，拒绝后退一步。安格隆本人抵达后不久，在一个明确的时刻要求太空港投降。尼伯兰和他的帝国陆军士兵用太空港的炮台将安格隆炸成碎片作为回应，尽管叛徒原体很快就重生了。尼伯兰和他的部下与科勒并肩作战，对抗由安格隆、卡恩和恐虐泰坦领导的野蛮的吞世者袭击。昔班可汗在试图帮助他指挥的最后一批帝国军队士兵撤离时，被认为在飞机失事中丧生。与此同时，在太阳系的边缘，一支由圣骑士连长考斯韦恩率领的10000名黑暗天使队伍抵达，帮助保卫泰拉。

Magnus' Infiltration 马格努斯渗透

Shortly after the traitor setback at Saturnine, Magnus the Red made his move to recover the lost shard of himself inside the Imperial Palace. Launching all 9,000 Thousand Sons under his command at the Western Hemispheric region of the Palace, the traitors also utilize waves of Beastmen, Battle-Automata, as well as a Capitol Imperialis. In the ensuing furious battle, the Thousand Sons Capitol Imperialis Khasisatra was badly damaged by the Palace Guns, but before it could explode Magnus himself entered the fray and enclosed it in a stasis bubble. Magnus then psychically hurled the Khasisatra into the walls before dissipating the stasis bubble, creating a catastrophic explosion equal to 12 Atomic Weapons that caused a large breach to form in the Western Hemispheric Wall. Ahriman and 200 Thousand Sons then led an assault into the breach, but at the last minute were apparently driven back.

叛徒在土星之门遭遇挫折后不久，赤红之马格努斯采取行动，在皇宫内找回自己丢失的碎片。在皇宫的西部地区发动了他指挥下的所有9000名千子，他们还利用了野兽人、自动机兵以及帝国大厦。在随后的激烈战斗中，千子帝国大厦卡西萨特拉被皇宫火炮严重损坏，但在它爆炸之前，马格努斯自己也加入了战斗，并将其封闭在一个停滞的气泡中。然后，马格努斯在停滞气泡消散之前，用灵能将卡西萨特拉扔进了墙壁，造成了相当于12枚原子武器的灾难性爆炸，导致西部城墙形成了一个巨大的缺口。阿里曼和200名千子随后对缺口发起攻击，但在最后一刻显然被击退了。

The Traitor Titan Legion's advance 叛徒泰坦军团的推进

In truth, Magnus had just used the attack as a distraction for himself, Ahriman, Amon, Menkaura, and Atrahasis to infiltrate the Palace. Moving through the Great Observatory and then the Hall of Leng, Magnus seemingly slew Malcador in a rage at a subterranean lake after being told his lost shard was now out of his reach. Now intent on killing the Emperor, Magnus and his troops infiltrated into the Imperial Dungeon and came before the Golden Throne. The Emperor offered Magnus a chance to return to the loyalist side, but the Crimson King refused after being told he would have to condemn his Thousand Sons to destruction due to their rampant mutations. Magnus attempted to slay the Emperor but was stopped by Vulkan, and the two Primarchs engaged in a vicious duel that eventually saw the loyalist son prevail thanks to the sacrifice of Igen Gargo. Before Vulkan could deliver the final blow Magnus fully gave himself to Chaos and was expelled from the Palace alongside his sons by the Palace's anti-Daemonic wards. After the incident, Magnus fully gave himself to Horus' cause. Meanwhile, Malcador was resurrected by Alivia Sureka at the cost of her own life.

事实上，马格努斯刚刚利用这次袭击分散了他自己、阿里曼、阿蒙、门卡乌拉和阿特拉西斯的注意力，潜入了皇宫。穿过大天文台，然后是寒冷大厅，马格努斯在得知他丢失的碎片现在无法触及后，似乎在一个地下湖上愤怒地杀死了马卡多。现在意图杀死帝皇，马格努斯和他的军队潜入了帝国地牢，来到了黄金王座前。帝皇给马格努斯一个机会回到忠诚的一边，但深红之王在被告知他将不得不宣判他的千子因为他们无约束的突变而被毁灭后拒绝了。马格努斯试图杀死帝皇，但被沃坎阻止，两位原体进行了一场激烈的决斗，最终由于伊根·加戈的牺牲，这位忠诚的子嗣获胜。在沃坎发动最后一击之前，马格努斯将自己完全交给了混沌，并与他的子嗣一起被皇宫的反灵能保护驱逐出皇宫。事件发生后，马格努斯完全献身于荷鲁斯的事业。与此同时，马卡多被阿利维亚·苏雷卡以自己的生命为代价复活。

The Palace Besieged 围攻皇宫

By the twenty-seventh of Quintus, Horus' forces had captured both the Lion's Gate and Eternity Wall Spaceports. This allowed him to fully land his last and greatest reserves: the Legio Mortis Titan Legion. By this point in the battle, however, acting siege commander Perturabo had become fed up by the state of the traitor armies. Daemons swarmed the ranks of the traitor armies of his brothers and allies had now pledged themselves fully to the Ruinious Powers. Seeing that the war was no longer one of Legion vs. Legion, Perturabo's breaking point came when Horus ordered him to break up his Legion and disperse it amongst the greater traitor armies. Mortarion and the Death Guard would instead take up Perturabo's positions, and the humiliation proved too much for the Lord of Iron to tolerate. Fed up, he ordered his Legion to leave Terra for paths unknown. The Iron Warriors began to evacuate Terra, causing great mayhem in the blockading Traitor fleet. Meanwhile due to the machinations of the Daemon Vassukella, who had infected the Astronomican, waves of madness swept across the loyalist lines and caused many mortal defenders to commit suicide or abandon their posts. Those who abandoned their posts marched towards "Paradise", in truth a horrific dream-farm erected by the Emperor's Children.

到第五的第二十七日，荷鲁斯的部队已经占领了狮门和永恒之墙太空港。这使他能够完全登陆他最后一支也是最强大的后备部队：死亡军团。然而，在战斗的这一点上，代理攻城指挥官佩图拉博已经厌倦了叛徒军队的状态。恶魔蜂拥而至他的兄弟和盟友的叛徒军队的行列，现在他们已经向毁灭的力量做出了充分的承诺。看到战争不再是军团与军团之间的战争，当荷鲁斯命令他解散军团并将其分散在更大的叛徒军队中时，佩图拉博的崩溃点到来了。莫塔里安和死亡守卫将取代佩图拉博的职位，事实证明，钢铁之王无法容忍这种羞辱。受够了，他命令他的军团离开泰拉，前往未知的道路。钢铁勇士开始撤离泰拉，在封锁的叛徒舰队中造成了巨大的混乱。与此同时，由于污染了星炬的恶魔瓦苏凯拉的阴谋，疯狂的浪潮席卷了忠诚者的防线，导致许多凡人防御者自杀或放弃岗位。那些放弃岗位的人走向“天堂”，事实上，这是一个由帝皇之子建造的可怕的梦想农场。

Despite this setback, Horus remained undeterred. He organized a massive attack by the Legio Mortis, Sons of Horus, Chaos Knights, and Dark Mechanicum war engines against the Mercury-Exultant Kill-zone, a 150km-deep No Man's Land before the Exultant Wall which connects the Inner and Outer Palaces. This massive force was met by some 50 engines of the Legio Ignatum, including the Emperor Titans Imperious Prima, Exemplis, and Magnificum Incendius. This formidable army was aided by not only the shattered remains of other Titan Legions such as the Legio Solaria, Legio Atarus, Legio Defensor, Legio Amaranth, Legio Gryphonicus, and Legio Invigilata but also dozens of Knight Houses and supporting Imperial Army and Secutarii. The Ordo Sinister also finally agreed to enter the fighting, sending a Warlord-Sinister Psi-Titan to the Ignatum's aid. In the ensuing apocalyptic battle, the Traitors first attacked with waves of destroyed Titans that had been resurrected through sorcery. These "zombie" Titans now walked without a living Princeps, and were largely used as cannon fodder by the Traitors due to their ability to absorb enormous amounts of punishment. In their wake came the Legio Mortis and endless swarms of Dark Mechanicum vehicles and Daemon Engines. They were led by the Dies Irae and its bodyguard of 7 Warlord Titans. Despite the devastation wrought upon by the Traitors, thanks to orbital bombardment, new Warmaster Titans, weight of numbers, and madness spread amongst the loyalist mortal crews, the Traitors ultimately prevailed in annihilating the Legio Ignatum and its allies and reaching the Exultant Wall.

尽管遭遇了这一挫折，荷鲁斯仍然没有被吓倒。他组织了一场由军团、荷鲁斯之子、混沌骑士和黑暗机械教战争引擎对水星欢欣杀戮区的大规模攻击，这是一个150公里深的无人区，位于连接内外殿的欢欣之墙之前。这支庞大的部队遭到了烈焰军团约50架引擎的攻击，其中包括帝皇泰坦无上专横、典范和滔天烈焰。这支强大的军队不仅得到了其他泰坦军团如日晷军团、炎纹军团、防卫者军团、不凋花军团、狮鹫军团和监戒军团的帮助，还得到了数十个骑士家族和支援的帝国军队和泰坦禁卫的帮助。噩兆修会最终也同意参战，派遣了一名噩兆军阀灵能泰坦帮助烈焰军团。在随后的启示录之战中，叛徒们首先发动了一波又一波的被摧毁的泰坦的攻击，这些泰坦是通过巫术复活的。这些“僵尸”泰坦现在没有活着的驾驶员，由于能够承受巨大的惩罚，它们主要被叛徒用作炮灰。紧随其后的是死亡军团和无尽的黑暗机械教载具和恶魔引擎。他们由神怒之日及其由7名军阀泰坦组成的护卫领导。尽管叛徒造成了巨大的破坏，但由于轨道轰炸、新的战帅泰坦、庞大的数量和疯狂在忠诚的凡人中蔓延，叛徒最终战胜了烈焰军团及其盟友，并到达了欢欣之墙。

Horus ordered his army to push on and had the attack on the outer walls of the Imperial Palace be spearheaded by the Death's Head Titan Legion. Losing five Titans within minutes to entrenched loyalist defenses, the traitor forces would not relent and kept hammering away at the palace walls. A counterattack against the Chaos horde's flanks by loyalist titans failed, though the White Scars took advantage of the confusion it caused to sweep down at the traitor forces rear columns and wreak havoc. The Siege of the Imperial Palace soon ground on for many days, with the two primary attacks during this time being made by Angron and his World Eaters supported by Daemon Engines in one sector and the Legio Mortis in the other.

荷鲁斯命令他的军队继续前进，并让死颅泰坦军团率先进攻皇宫的外墙。在几分钟内失去了五名泰坦，被根深蒂固的忠诚者防御，叛徒部队不会让步，继续不断地轰击宫殿的墙壁。忠诚的泰坦们对混沌部落侧翼的反击失败了，尽管白色疤痕利用这场混乱，扫荡了叛徒部队的后方纵队并造成了严重破坏。 皇宫围城很快就持续了好几天，在此期间的两次主要攻击是由安格隆和他的吞世者发起的，其中一个区域得到了恶魔引擎的支持，另一个区域则得到了死亡军团的支持。

Under a vicious combined attack by the World Eaters and Legio Mortis, major breaching attempts were made at the Mercury and Exultant Wall zones. The traitors laid plasma bombs, which when detonated caused a chain reaction that cooked off the ammunition of the wall defenders. The resulting blast was so massive that it easily dwarfed atomic weapons and caused both warring armies to briefly go silent in shock and awe. A 300 meter long section of the wall collapsed, causing a landslide that buried loyalist and traitors alike. Kharn's 8th Assault Company was the first to climb the rubble and move through the gap as Knights and Legio Mortis Titans swarmed behind. The World Eater Skarr-Hei was the first through. The way to the Sanctum Imperialis was now clear and the loyalist defenders seemed doomed, with many seeing the battle now as a suicidal final stand rather than one in which they could emerge victorious.

在吞世者和死亡军团的恶意联合攻击下，在水星欢欣杀戮区和欢欣之墙区域进行了重大突破的尝试。叛徒们放置了等离子炸弹，引爆后引起连锁反应，烧尽了城墙守军的弹药。由此产生的爆炸非常巨大，使原子武器也相形见绌，并导致交战双方军队在震惊和敬畏中短暂沉默。一段300米长的城墙坍塌，造成山体滑坡，埋葬了忠诚派和叛徒。当骑士和死亡军团泰坦蜂拥而至时，卡恩的第八突击连队是第一个爬上瓦砾并穿过缺口的人。吞世者斯卡尔-黑是第一个通过的。通往帝国圣地的道路现已明确，忠诚的守军似乎注定要失败，许多人认为这场战斗现在是自杀式的最后决战，而不是他们能够取得胜利的决战。

Jaghatai Khan confronts Mortarion at the Lion's Gate Spaceport 察合台可汗在狮门太空港与莫塔里安对峙

Battle for the Astronomican 星炬之战

Meanwhile, the force of Dark Angels under Corswain remained in the fringes of the Sol System, rendezvousing with Admiral Niora Su-Kassen and her hidden fleet led by the Phalanx. It was agreed that the Dark Angels should make for Terra to aid the defenders, but they would need something significant in order to break the traitor blockade of the world. Su-Kassen provided the enormous Battle-Carrier Imperator Somnium, the former flagship of the Emperor himself. The ship was largely evacuated of crew and sent plummeting towards the traitor fleet as the Dark Angels vessels hid in its wake. Though torn apart by enemy fire, the mighty Imperator Somnium was able to destroy four World Eaters Heavy Cruisers and an Emperor's Children Battle Barge. Afterwards, the explosion of the Emperor's ship heavily damaged the Terminus Est and the Conqueror battleships.

与此同时，考斯韦恩率领的黑暗天使部队仍处于太阳系的边缘，与海军上将尼奥拉·苏-卡森及其由山阵号领导的隐藏舰队会合。大家一致认为，黑暗天使应该去泰拉来帮助防御者，但他们需要一些重要的东西来打破叛徒对世界的封锁。苏-卡森提供了巨大的战斗航母帝皇幻梦号，这是帝皇本人的前旗舰。这艘船大部分船员都被疏散了，随着黑暗天使的船只躲在它的后面，它向叛徒舰队坠落。尽管被敌人的炮火撕裂，强大的帝皇幻梦号还是摧毁了四艘吞世者重型巡洋舰和一艘帝皇之子战斗驳船。之后，帝皇的船的爆炸严重损坏了终焉号和征服者号战列舰。

The Dark Angels vessels were able to launch a Drop Pod landing operation to deliver their warriors to Terra, with Corswain's force landing upon the Hollow Mountain. Battling through the Emperor's Children and many warp-spawned horrors inside the Fortress including the Daemon Vassukella, Corswain was able to establish contact with Dorn and announced his intent to attempt and reactivate the Astronomican. Subsequently, Corswain and his Dark Angels found themselves besieged by traitor forces and struggling to hold the Astronomican.

黑暗天使的战舰能够发动空投舱登陆行动，将他们的战士运送到泰拉，考斯韦恩的部队降落在空心山脉上。通过与帝皇之子以及堡垒内许多亚空间引发的恐怖，包括恶魔瓦苏凯拉，考斯韦恩能够与多恩建立联系，并宣布他打算尝试并重新激活星炬。随后，考斯韦恩和他的黑暗天使发现自己被叛徒势力围困，并努力控制星炬。

Retaking the Lion's Gate Spaceport 夺回狮门太空港

The grim outlook of the chance for victory was not shared by the White Scars and their Primarch, Jaghatai Khan, who continued to talk of life after they had won the battle. Not content to simply hide behind walls, the Khan at last decided at this desperate final hour to make his move. He became committed to retaking the Lion's Gate Spaceport, which if captured would allow Guilliman's coming reinforcements to quickly land on Terra as well as slow the flow of traitor forces. Overworked and exhausted and knowing he could not control his brother, Rogal Dorn did not try to stop the Khan. Facing the White Scars were the bulk of the Death Guard under Mortarion, who had taken up Lion's Gate Spaceort as his new headquarters since the departure of Perturabo.

白色伤疤及其原体察合台可汗并不认同胜利机会的严峻前景，他们在赢得战斗后继续谈论生活。可汗并不满足于躲在墙后，最终在这绝望的最后时刻决定采取行动。他开始致力于夺回狮门太空港，如果被占领，基里曼即将到来的增援部队将迅速降落在泰拉上，并减缓叛徒势力的流动。罗格·多恩过度劳累，疲惫不堪，知道自己无法控制他的兄弟，他没有试图阻止可汗。面对白色伤疤的是莫塔里安领导下的大部分死亡守卫，自佩图拉博离开以来，莫塔里安将狮门太空港作为他的新总部。

For the operation to recapture Lion's Gate, the Khan mustered not only nearly the entire White Scars Legion but also the Terran First Armored and the Sky Fortress, the last Orbital Plate on Terra that until now was being used as an airborne carrier and fire support platform. After much careful planning, the Khan struck with an overwhelming push by thousands of Imperial Army tanks protected by White Scars infantry. In their wake came a massive charge of White Scars Jetbikes. Gold Battlefront under Ganzorig Noyan-Khan struck an arrowhead across the northern sections of the space port approaches, while Ebony under Qin Fai Noyan-Khan attacked the southern flank. Jaghatai Khan himself led Amber Battlefront through the center and directly into the thickest enemy defenses. The ensuing fighting was ferocious, even for the standards of the Siege. The Sky Fortress was able to fulfill its mission to provide fire and aerial support for the White Scars until it was shot down, crashing into the Imperial Fleet College and creating a massive explosion. While the White Scars and Imperial Army tanks were able to quickly push to the Lion's Gate Spaceport, inside their advance began to become bogged down by the stubborn defenses of not only the Death Guard, but also their Daemonic and Mutant allies. A war of attrition broke out, one in which the White Scars were ill-suited but the Death Guard excelled at.

为了夺回狮门，可汗不仅召集了几乎整个白色伤疤军团，还召集了泰拉第一装甲部队和天空堡垒，这是迄今为止用作航空母舰和火力支援平台的最后一块轨道平台。经过精心策划，可汗发动了数千辆帝国陆军坦克的压倒性攻势，这些坦克由白色伤疤步兵保护。随之而来的是大量的白色疤痕喷气式摩托。甘佐里格诺颜汗率领的黄金前线在太空港入口的北部地区投下了箭头，而秦伐诺颜汗领导的乌木则袭击了南翼。察合台可汗亲自带领琥珀前线穿过中心，直接进入最厚的敌人防御。随后的战斗非常激烈，即使以围城的标准来看也是如此。天空堡垒能够完成其任务，为白色疤痕提供火力和空中支援，直到它被击落，撞向帝国舰队学院并引发大规模爆炸。虽然白色疤痕和帝国陆军坦克能够迅速向狮门太空港推进，但他们的前进开始陷入困境，不仅是死亡守卫，还有他们的恶魔和变种人盟友的顽固防御。一场消耗战爆发了，在这场战争中，白色伤疤并不适应，但死亡守卫表现出色。

As loyalist casualties mounted, the Khan was able to fight his way into the heart of the Spaceport and confront Mortarion himself. The old enemies exchanged few words before engaging in a final duel. Faced with Mortarion's new Daemonic endurance and strength, the Khan was brutally beaten down and nearly defenseless. However he was able to find a weakness in the Death Lord with his pride. Jaghatai Khan scolded Mortarion for being weak and giving into the powers of the Warp, while he himself had resisted the temptations of Chaos and remained true to the Emperor. Mortarion flew into a rage, which the Khan took advantage of to launch a second wave of dizzying attacks that overwhelmed the Primarch. In the end the badly wounded Jaghatai Khan was impaled on the blade of Mortarion's scythe, but simply pulled his body along its length to get face-to-face with the Death Guard Primarch. The loyalist Primarch decapitated Mortarion, who was banished into the Warp in a massive explosion similar to that of a Vortex Weapon. Later, the Khan's badly wounded body was discovered by Ilya Ravallion and Jangsai Khan.

随着忠诚者伤亡人数的增加，可汗得以进入太空港的中心，并亲自对抗莫塔里安。在进行最后的决斗之前，宿敌们几乎没说一句话。面对莫塔里安新的恶魔的耐力和力量，可汗被残酷地击败，几乎毫无防备。然而，他能够找到死亡之主的弱点和他的骄傲。察合台可汗斥责莫塔里安软弱，屈服于亚空间的力量，而他自己则抵制了混沌的诱惑，忠于帝皇。莫塔里安勃然大怒，可汗利用这一点发动了第二波令人眼花缭乱的攻击，压倒了原体。最后，重伤的察合台可汗被莫塔里安镰刀的刀刃刺穿，但他只是沿着镰刀的刃部拉动身体，与死亡守卫原体面对面。忠诚的原体斩首了莫塔里安，他在一场类似于涡旋武器的大规模爆炸中被放逐到亚空间。后来，伊利亚·拉瓦利昂和江塞可汗发现了可汗重伤的尸体。

In the aftermath of the Khan's seeming death, the White Scars were thrown into a frenzy and prepared to throw their lives away in a final charge against the Death Guard. The sudden tenacity surprised the Death Guard, who without Mortarion to guide them were forced back. Thanks to the efforts of Ilya Ravallion and Shiban Khan the White Scars decided to remain at Lion's Gate Spaceport and secure it for the loyalists instead of pressing on into certain death.Meanwhile, the surviving Death Guard rallied under Typhus, who had stationed himself just outside the battlezone.

在可汗看似死亡之后，白色伤疤被陷入了疯狂之中，准备在对死亡守卫的最后一次猛攻中放弃自己的生命。突然的顽强让死亡守卫感到惊讶，没有莫塔里安的指挥，他们被迫撤退。由于伊利亚·拉瓦利昂和昔班可汗的努力，白色伤疤决定留在狮门太空港，为忠诚者保护它，而不是走向死亡。与此同时，幸存的死亡守卫在泰丰斯手下集结，泰丰斯就驻扎在战区外。

Last Stand at the Eternity Gate 永恒之门的最后一站

Despite the retaking of the Lion's Gate Spaceport, the situation continued to degrade for the loyalists and nothing could stop the tide of traitors pouring into the Inner Palace from the parts of the Ultimate Wall broken open by the Legio Mortis. Even the Bhab Bastion, Dorn's command center, became besieged with the Imperial Fists Primarch still inside. By this point the traitor armies have lost much of their cohesion, turning into a barbaric horde that swept forward murdering all in its path. The Emperor's psychic shield was near-breaking point thanks to a constant immaterial assault by the debased form of Magnus in the Webway. To try and stop the Crimson King, Vulkan was dispatched into the Webway to find and kill Magnus before he could succeed. As whoever could fled towards the Sanctum Imperialis Horus himself appeared over the traitor communicatons network for the first time in weeks to give a single order to his forces: the capture of the Eternity Gate at dawn.

尽管夺回了狮门太空港，但忠诚者的处境仍在恶化，没有什么能阻止叛徒从军团士兵打开的极限之墙部分涌入内殿。就连帝国之拳原体多恩的指挥中心巴布堡也被围困在里面。到目前为止，叛徒军队已经失去了大部分的凝聚力，变成了一个野蛮的部落，横扫一切。帝皇的灵能屏障接近断裂点，这要归功于网道中堕落的马格努斯不断进行的非物质攻击。为了阻止深红之王，沃坎被派往网道，在马格努斯成功之前找到并杀死他。无论谁能逃向到帝国圣地，荷鲁斯本人都会在几周内首次出现在叛徒的通讯网络上，向他的部队发出一个命令：黎明时分占领永恒之门。

The Adeptus Custodes battle Daemons at the Imperial Palace禁军在帝国皇宫与恶魔作战

As a vast taritor horde of traitor Astartes, Imperial Army, Beastmen, Mutants, Daemons, Titans, and other horrors massed on the horizon, only some 70,000 defenders mustered on the Delphic Battlement before the processional to the Eternity Gate. These were mainly Blood Angels and Imperial Army, but Imperial Fists, White Scars, Legio Ignatum, and Mechanicum loyalists were also represented. Corswain offered to send his own forces defending the Astronomican to aid the defenders, but Sanguinius declined their offer, due to the vital nature of the Dark Angels Paladin's mission.

当一大群叛徒阿斯塔泰斯、帝国军队、野兽人、变种人、恶魔、泰坦和其他恐怖聚集在地平线上时，在前往永恒之门的大道前，只有大约7万名防御者聚集在德尔菲城垛中。这些人主要是圣血天使和帝国军队，但帝国之拳、白色伤疤、烈焰军团和机械教的忠诚者也有代表。考斯韦恩提出派遣自己保卫星炬的部队以帮助防御者，但圣吉列斯拒绝了他们的提议，因为黑暗天使圣骑士的任务至关重要。

Faced with certain death before the vast traitor horde, Sanguinius nonetheless organized a defense to try and buy precious time. At dawn the traitors erected the mutilated but still-living loyalist prisoners they had nailed to banners, crosses, vehicles, or whatever else they could find to try and break the spirit of the defenders. Next marched forth the Daughter of Torment, a Reaver Titan of the traitorous Legio Mordaxis. In its Power Claw was the tortured form of Blood Angels Captain Idamas. It issued forth Horus' conditions, that any who fled the coming battle would be granted a pardon by Horus, new Emperor of mankind. Sanguinisu responded with a rousing speech to the defenders, stating that he would stand and fight but all others were free to go where they wished. Inspired or perhaps shamed by the Great Angel, it is believed that no loyalists took the opportunity to leave and instead all present pledged themselves to Sanguinius. The Blood Angels Primarch next took to the skies and behead the Daughter of Torment as battle erupted.

面对庞大的叛徒大军带来的死亡，圣吉列斯仍然组织了一次防御，试图争取宝贵的时间。黎明时分，叛徒们竖起了残缺不全但仍然活着的忠诚者囚犯，他们把他们钉在横幅、十字架、车辆或任何他们能找到的东西上，试图摧毁守军的精神。接着，叛徒噬心军团的收割者泰坦“折磨之女”走了出来。在它的动力爪中是折磨形式的圣血天使连长伊达马斯。它宣布了荷鲁斯的条件，任何逃离即将到来的战斗的人都将得到新的人类帝皇荷鲁斯的赦免。圣吉列斯对防御者发表了激动人心的演讲，表示他会站起来战斗，但所有其他人都可以自由地去他们想去的地方。受到大天使的启发或可能感到羞愧，据信没有忠诚者借此机会离开，而是所有在场的人都向圣吉列斯宣誓。圣血天使原体随后飞上天空，在战斗爆发时斩首了折磨之女。

Sanguinius' stand at the Eternity Gate 圣吉列斯站在永恒之门前

The battle that followed was immense. The traitor horde surged forward as the guns of the Delphic Battlements opened up. The initial waves were decimated, but through weight of numbers they began to reach the walls. A Khornate Warlord Titan docked with the Delphic wall, vomiting forward World Eaters from its mutated mouth. Chaos erupted in short order as the battle turned into a savage melee. Into this strode the Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha, who had been bested by Sanguinius during the Signus Campaign. Vowing to reap 500 Blood Angels in the presence of their Primarch, the Daemon nearly succeeded before Sanguinius intervened. The two had a dramatic airborne battle that ended when Sanguinius broke the Daemons back with the hilt of his sword. Ka'Bandha plummeted to the earth, consumed by lesser Daemons taking advantage of his weakness.

随后的战斗是巨大的。随着德尔菲城垛的枪声响起，叛徒大军向前冲去。最初的波浪被摧毁了，但通过成员的重量，它们开始到达墙壁。一个恐虐军阀泰坦与德尔菲城垛对接，从变异的嘴里向前吐出吞世者。随着战斗演变为激烈的混战，混沌在短时间内爆发了。嗜血狂魔卡’班哈大步走进来，他在西格纳斯战役中被圣吉列斯击败。在圣吉列斯介入之前，恶魔发誓要在他们的原体面前收割500个圣血天使，几乎成功了。两人进行了一场戏剧性的空战，当圣吉列斯用剑柄将恶魔击溃时，这场战役结束了。卡’班哈坠落到地上，被较小的恶魔利用他的虚弱吞噬。

With the traitor horde still advancing and Daemons now manifesting even inside the Sanctum Imperialis itself Custodian Tribune Diocletian Coros ordered the Eternity Gate shut. However it was then that Legio Audax Titans intervened, using their Ursus Claws to force one of the doors open. Sanguinius was about to cut these chains when Angron surged from the sky, directed by Horus himself to kill his brother. Already weakened by his fight with Ka'Bandha, Sanguinius fought a desperate battle against Angron but managed to initially hold his own. After a climatic airborne battle, Angron impaled Sanguinius upon his Black Blade. However Sanguinius used the opportunity to rip out Angron's Butchers Nails, causing the Daemon Primarch's head to explode. With Angron banished into the Warp, the World Eaters lost whatever sanity they had and began to cut down their own allies. This combined with the defeat of Magnus in the Webway at the hands of Vulkan broke the traitor advance just short of the Eternity Gate, which managed to finally seal shut as the surviving loyalists fled inside.

随着叛徒大军仍在前进，恶魔现在甚至在帝国圣地内部显现禁军保民官戴克里先·科罗斯下令关闭永恒之门。然而，就在那时，莽勇军团泰坦介入，用他们的熊爪强行打开了一扇门。圣吉列斯正要割断这些锁链，这时安格隆在荷鲁斯的指示下从天空中冲了出来，杀向了他的兄弟。圣吉列斯已经被他与卡’班哈的战斗所削弱，他与安格隆进行了一场绝望的战斗，但最初还是成功地守住了自己的阵地。在一场激烈的空战后，安格隆用他的黑刃刺穿了圣吉列斯。然而，圣吉列斯利用这个机会拔出了安格隆的屠夫之钉，导致恶魔原体的头部爆炸。随着安格隆被放逐到亚空间，吞世者失去了所有的理智，开始砍倒自己的盟友。再加上马格努斯在网道被沃坎击败，叛徒在距离永恒之门不远的地方推进，当幸存的忠诚者逃进去时，永恒之门最终被封锁。

Just moments after the battle of the Eternity Gate, Shiban Khan and his White Scars managed to reactivate the anti-orbital defenses of the Lion's Gate Spaceport. The traitor armada, hanging in low-orbit, was subjected to a vicious ground-to-orbit bombardment. Word reached the Sol System that Roboute Guilliman was just one week away, with Leman Russ, Corax, and Lion El'Jonson not far behind.

在永恒之门之战结束后不久，昔班可汗和他的白色伤疤成功地重新激活了狮门太空港的反轨道防御。悬挂在低空轨道上的叛徒舰队遭到了猛烈的地对空炮击。消息传到了太阳系，罗伯特·基里曼只有一周的时间了，黎曼·鲁斯，科拉克斯和莱昂·艾尔庄森紧随其后。

Despite the victory at the Eternity Gate, the situation for the loyalists was still dire and Chaos forces were advancing all fronts. Remaining loyalist officers such as Fafnir Rann, Zephon, Nassir Amit, Maximus Thane, and Namahi led desperate but futile defenses of the last battlements inside the Inner Palace. While nearly all order and discipline had by now broken down amongst the Traitor Astartes, vast Daemonic legions spilled forth as legendary figures such as Be'lakor, Skarbrand, Ulkair, N'Kari, Heartslayer, Drach'nyen, Epidemius, Ku'gath, Madail, Karanak, The Masque, Doombreed, Tallomin, and Skulltaker manifested on Terra's soil. Just hours after the shutting of the Eternity Gate, the Bhab Bastion itself was overrun by Sons of Horus forces under Tarchese Malabreux and Rogal Dorn was forced to retreat into the Sanctum Imperialis. Concepts such as time and space started to break down and mere hours passed as if it were weeks as Terra itself began to slowly be sucked into the Warp, with the Vengeful Spirit as its conduit. All across Terra, traitor armies and maddened souls began to chant the name of the "Dark King". Horus now aspired to become the fifth God of Chaos born from Humanity just as Slaanesh was born from the Eldar.

尽管在永恒之门取得了胜利，但忠诚者的处境仍然严峻，混沌势力正在向所有战线推进。法夫尼尔·兰恩、泽丰、纳西尔·阿密特、马克西姆斯·塔恩和纳马希等剩余的忠诚军官领导了对内殿最后一座城垛的绝望但徒劳的防御。虽然叛徒阿斯塔特几乎所有的秩序和纪律都已崩溃，但随着比’拉克、斯卡布兰德、乌凯尔、纳’卡里、屠心者、德拉科’尼恩、埃皮德米乌斯、库’噶斯、马代尔、卡拉纳克、假面、毁灭之种、塔洛明和夺颅者等传奇人物在泰拉的大地上出现，庞大的恶魔军团也纷纷涌现。在永恒之门关闭仅数小时后，巴布堡垒本身就被塔奇斯·马拉波领导的荷鲁斯之子部队占领，罗格·多恩被迫撤退到帝国圣地。时间和空间等概念开始崩溃，仅仅几个小时就过去了仿佛是几周，因为泰拉本身开始慢慢被吸入亚空间，复仇之魂作为其管道。在整个泰拉，叛徒军队和疯狂的灵魂开始高呼“黑暗之王”的名字。荷鲁斯现在渴望成为从人类诞生的第五位混沌之神，就像色孽从灵族出生一样。

The Emperor must die ~ Traitor chant in the final stages of the Siege

帝皇必须死 ~围城最后阶段的叛徒的呼喊

The Vengeful Spirit 复仇之魂

It was at this moment that Horus finally emerged from Lupercal's Court for the first time since the Siege began, apparently in a half-lucid stupor and imagining himself back on the Great Crusade. Journeying to the bridge of the Vengeful Spirit, he addressed his equerry Kenor Argonis as Maloghurst, saw long-dead Zardu Layak at his side, and stated he would finally finish the war. To the shock of all present, Horus stated that he had apparently lowered the Vengeful Spirit's Void Shields, inviting the Emperor himself to Teleport aboard his flagship. This would allow Horus to slay the Emperor before reinforcements under Guilliman could arrive, which were mere hours away. With their Emperor dead, Guilliman's incoming fleet would lose heart and scatter before the forces of the Warmaster. However, Guilliman's fleet was still having difficulty finding Terra without the Astronomican, which Corswain and his Dark Angels sought to reactivate. To thwart the Dark Angels, Typhus led a massive Death Guard assault upon the Hollow Mountain.

就在这一刻，荷鲁斯终于从卢佩卡尔王庭中走出，这是自围城开始以来的第一次，他显然处于半清醒半昏迷的状态，想象自己回到了大远征。在前往复仇之魂号舰桥的途中，他称呼侍从官基诺·阿尔戈尼斯为马洛赫斯特，看到早已死去的扎杜·拉亚克在他身边，并表示他最终会结束战争。令在场所有人震惊的是，荷鲁斯表示，他显然已经降下了复仇之魂号的虚空盾，邀请帝皇亲自登上他的旗舰进行传送。这将使荷鲁斯能够在基里曼率领的援军到达之前杀死帝皇，而基里曼的援军只有几个小时的路程。随着帝皇的死亡，基里曼即将到来的舰队将失去信心，在战帅的部队面前四散。然而，基里曼的舰队在没有星炬的情况下仍然很难找到泰拉，而考斯韦恩和他的黑暗天使试图重新激活它。为了挫败黑暗天使，泰丰斯率领一支庞大的死亡守卫袭击了空心山脉。

Upon discovering the shields of the Vengeful Spirit down, Malcador the Sigillite alerted the Emperor, still struggling to keep the Golden Throne and its adjoining Webway Gate stable. Upon learning of the news, the Emperor knew it was time to act and end Horus, even though he was certain it was a trap. Rogal Dorn, Sanguinius, Vulkan, and Valdor were all called to his side for the coming battle, and all objected to the Emperor's plan to personally teleport aboard the Vengeful Spirit. However the Emperor overruled his sons, commanding Valdor and Dorn to come with him while Sanguinius took control of loyalist forces on Terra and Vulkan stay behind to oversee the potential failsafe on the Golden Throne. Sanguinius flatly objected to his fathers request to stay behind, telling the Emperor of his prophetic death at Horus' hands and his intention to defy fate by defeating his traitorous brother instead. This was enough to move the Emperor to change his mind. Four company's were organized for the assault: the Hetaeron Guard led by the Emperor, another Custodes company under Valdor, a mixed force of Sanguinary Guard and Blood Angels 1st Company under Sanguinius and Raldoron, and Huscarls under Dorn and Diamantis. The operation was codenamed Anabasis. Malcador took his place upon the Golden Throne in the Emperor's place, an act that would cost him his life. For that, The Emperor renamed Malcador the Sigillite to Malcador the Hero.

在发现复仇之魂号的盾放下后，掌印者马卡多向帝皇发出了警告，他仍在努力维持黄金王座及其相邻的网道门的稳定。得知这个消息后，帝皇知道是时候采取行动结束荷鲁斯了，尽管他确信这是一个陷阱。罗格·多恩、圣吉列斯、沃坎和瓦尔多都被召唤到他身边参加即将到来的战斗，并且都反对帝皇亲自跳帮复仇之魂号进行传送的计划。然而，帝皇推翻了他的儿子的决定，命令瓦尔多和多恩与他一起去，而圣吉列斯控制泰拉上的忠诚部队，沃坎留下来监督黄金王座的潜在故障保护。圣吉列斯断然反对他父亲留下来的要求，告诉帝皇他预言会死于荷鲁斯之手，并打算通过击败他的叛徒兄弟来反抗命运。这足以让帝皇改变主意。组织了四个连队进行袭击：帝皇领导的伙友卫队、瓦尔多领导的另一个禁军连队、圣吉列斯和拉多隆领导的圣血卫队和圣血天使第一连队的混合部队，以及多恩和迪亚曼蒂斯领导的胡斯卡尔。这次行动代号为远征。马卡多代替帝皇登上了黄金王座，这一行为将使他付出生命的代价。为此，帝皇将掌印者马卡多更名为英雄马卡多。

While the Emperor led the assault on the Vengeful Spirit, Archamus was placed in command of the reamining loyalist forces on Terra. Meanwhile at the Astronomican, Corswain and The Lord Cypher waged a battle against a Death Guard assault led by Typhus, who was attempting to stop the reactivation of the Astronomican. If the traitors succeeded, Guilliman's armada would have no way of reaching Terra in time. For the traitors part, upon discovering their flagships shields were down, Abaddon abandoned the war on the surface along with the last few remaining sane Sons of Horus officers to rush to his fathers side.

当帝皇领导对复仇之魂号的进攻时，阿坎姆斯被任命为泰拉上不断壮大的忠诚部队的指挥官。与此同时，在星炬，考斯韦恩和塞弗领主与泰丰斯领导的死亡守卫展开了一场战斗，泰丰斯试图阻止星炬的重新激活。如果叛徒得逞，基里曼的舰队将无法及时到达泰拉。对于叛徒来说，在发现他们的旗舰盾被放下后，阿巴顿放弃了星球表面上的战争，连同剩下的几名理智的荷鲁斯之子军官一起冲向他父亲的一边。

Operation Anabasis 远征行动

Upon teleporting to the Vengeful Spirit, Horus sprung his trap. He had the attackers scattered through the ship as the Warmaster revealed he had deliberately held back the measure of his true strength and clouded his own mind in dementia in order to lure the Emperor in. The Emperor and his Custodes appeared in a seemingly ordinary hangar until Horus used his dark powers to take control of many of the Companions. Blood flowing from their eyes and screaming at the effort to maintain control, dozens of the Emperor's own bodyguards attacked their liegelord. The Emperor slew dozens of Custodes before the madness passed and He was able to cleanse the lingering taint from His companions. The Emperor and his Custodes then found themselves in the midst of Hell, with many of the warriors falling into Daemonic traps until the Emperor unleashed His psychic fire to cleanse it. Meanwhile, Valdor and his Custodes found themselves deep within a dark vault, battling hordes of Daemons and only realizing they were aboard the Vengeful Spirit when the Captain-General stabbed the surface with his Apollonian Spear to confirm their destination. Dorn found himself in an endless sweltering desert for what seemed to him to be centuries, slowly forgetting all but his name and being tempted by Khornate madness. Only Sanguinius and his Blood Angels reached their original destination, Disembarkation Deck 2, and it was here they faced determined resistance from Daemons, Sons of Horus, and Word Bearers.

在传送到复仇之魂号后，荷鲁斯抛出了陷阱。他让袭击者分散在船上，因为战帅透露，他故意隐瞒自己的真实力量，并让自己的大脑陷入痴呆，以引诱帝皇进入。帝皇和他的禁军出现在一个看似普通的机库里，直到荷鲁斯用他的黑暗力量控制了许多同伴。数十名帝皇的护卫袭击了他们的领主，鲜血从他们的眼中流出，保持在被控制下尽量高喊。在疯狂过去之前，帝皇杀死了数十名禁军，他能够清除同伴身上挥之不去的腐化。帝皇和他的禁军随后发现自己身处地狱之中，许多战士落入了恶魔的陷阱，直到帝皇释放了他的灵能之火来净化它。与此同时，瓦尔多和他的禁军发现自己深陷在一个黑暗的地窖里，与成群的恶魔作战，直到总司令用日神之矛刺向表面以确认他们的目的地时才意识到他们已经登上了复仇之魂号。多恩发现自己在一片无尽的闷热沙漠中度过了几个世纪，慢慢地忘记了自己的名字，被恐虐的疯狂所诱惑。只有圣吉列斯和他的圣血天使到达了他们最初的目的地，下船二号甲板，正是在这里，他们面临着来自恶魔，荷鲁斯之子和怀言者的坚决抵抗。

Horus faces Sanguinius 荷鲁斯面对圣吉列斯

Swelling with the powers of Chaos, the fully awakened Horus drove the crew of the Vengeful Spirit mad with his mere presence including hardened Space Marines such as his equerry Kenor Argonis. He broke down the barriers of space and time between the surface of Terra and his flagship, causing the two locations to overlap with one another and for time itself to be paused at this single monumental moment, with even the Inevitable City manifesting in his honor. This caused hordes of traitors to bypass the sealed Eternity Gate and spill into the Sanctum Imperialis, with Nassir Amit leading a defense against traitors less than 2km from the Throneroom. Realizing that He had underestimated the true extent of Horus' power, the Emperor became desperate and took in the powers of the Warp for himself. This nearly created a 5th Chaos God dubbed the Dark King, but as He was ascending the Emperor was talked down from the edge of the abyss of corruption by His own friend Ollanius Persson. Returning to His senses and humanity, the Emperor unleashed a massive blast of power He had built up that purged much of Terra and the Vengeful Spirit of its Warp-madness while also freeing Rogal Dorn. The Emperor sent out a message for all loyal followers to join Him as He marched on Horus.

完全觉醒的荷鲁斯凭借混沌的力量膨胀，仅仅因为他的存在就让复仇之魂号的船员们发疯，包括他的侍从官基诺·阿尔戈尼斯等久经沙场的星际战士。他打破了泰拉表面和他的旗舰之间的空间和时间障碍，使这两个位置相互重叠，时间本身也在这个具有里程碑意义的时刻停顿下来，甚至不可避免之城也向他致敬。这导致成群的叛徒绕过紧闭的永恒之门，涌入帝国圣地，纳西尔·阿密特在距离王座不到2公里的地方指挥了对叛徒的防御。意识到他低估了荷鲁斯力量的真实程度，帝皇变得绝望，并为自己掌握了亚空间的力量。这几乎创造了一个被称为黑暗之王的第五混沌之神，但当他升格时，帝皇被他自己的朋友欧兰尼奥斯·佩松从腐化的深渊边缘说服了下来。回到他的感官和人性，帝皇释放了他所增进的巨大力量，清除了泰拉和复仇之魂号的大部分亚空间疯狂，同时也释放了罗格·多恩。当他向荷鲁斯进军时，帝皇向所有忠诚的追随者发出了一条信息，让他们加入他的行列。

Still preparing to face his father, Horus deliberately let Sanguinius reach him within the heavily mutated Lupercal's Court. Planning to turn Sanguinius to Chaos so that they may confront their father together, Horus was genuinely disappointed when his brother refused his offer to join him in ascendency. Instead, the already heavily injured Sanguinius attacked Horus with all his might, displaying ferocious combat ability. Horus still held back his true power, engaging in a purely martial battle with Sanguinius in hopes of breaking him down so he may accept the powers of the Warp. However Sanguinius fought so stubbornly and viciously that Horus grew frustrated and even took several wounds. In the end, Horus was forced to change his plans when he detected that the Emperor was incoming towards his location. Horus finally decided to kill Sanguinius and unleashed his full power, reaching into the 8th dimension to grab Sanguinius and slam him to the ground mid-flight. Horus proceeded to batter his brother with Worldbreaker and impaled him several times with his Talon before the skull of Ferrus Manus. Horus let out a disappointed sigh as his brother died and his body was strung up by Daemons.

荷鲁斯仍在准备面对他的父亲，他故意让圣吉列斯在严重变异的卢佩卡尔王庭内找到他。计划将圣吉列斯堕入混沌，以便他们可以一起对抗他们的父亲，当他的兄弟拒绝了他在支配地位加入他时，荷鲁斯真的很失望。相反，已经严重受伤的圣吉列斯全力攻击荷鲁斯，表现出凶猛的战斗能力。荷鲁斯仍然保留着他的真正力量，与圣吉列斯进行了一场纯粹的武斗，希望将他击败，这样他就可以接受亚空间的力量。然而，圣吉列斯的战斗如此顽强和恶毒，以至于荷鲁斯变得沮丧，甚至受了几次伤。最后，当荷鲁斯发现帝皇正朝他的位置走来时，他被迫改变了计划。荷鲁斯最终决定杀死圣吉列斯并释放他的全部力量，进入第八维度抓住圣吉列斯，并在飞行途中将他摔在地上。荷鲁斯开始用破世者殴打他的兄弟，并在费鲁斯·马努斯的头骨前用他的爪刺穿了他几次。当他的兄弟死去，他的尸体被恶魔吊起时，荷鲁斯失望地叹了口气。

During all this, the battle still raged across the Vengeful Spirit and on Terra. The Blood Angels had been rendered insane with the Black Rage upon sensing the death of their Primarch and experiencing visions of his demise. They soon struck out a both loyalist and traitor, ravaging all in their path. Typhus led a final push against the Astronomican, coming into conflict with not only Corswain, Zahariel, and his Dark Angels but also Sigismund, Euphrati Keeler, and millions of surviving Terran refugees. Abaddon and Erebus led an offensive against Valdor, Dorn, and the surviving Custodes as both sides came under attack from the frenzied Blood Angels under the now-berserk Raldoron. Thanks to the Warp powers of Erebus, Abaddon and his Justaerin were able to badly injure Valdor but he and Dorn were able to escape towards the storm of the Emperor and Horus' battle. However at the Astronomican Keeler and the Dark Angels Librarians were able to utilize a speech being broadcast by Actae that "The Emperor Must Live" to inspire the throngs of millions. The Death Guard and even Typhus himself were driven back as countless of faithful Terrans sacrificed their souls to the Astronomican to reactivate it. With the Astronomican lit, Guilliman's reinforcement fleet of over 3,200 capital ships finally had the precise location of Terra and were only scant hours away. Inside the Sanctum Imperialis, Vulkan prepared to activate the Talisman of Seven Hammers upon hearing traitor forces pounding on the other side of the door into the Throneroom but was convinced to back down upon hearing Actae's message.

在这一切之中，这场战斗仍然在复仇之魂号和泰拉上肆虐。圣血天使们在感知到他们的原体的死亡并经历了他的死亡幻象后，被黑怒弄得精神错乱。他们很快就消灭了忠诚者和叛徒，摧毁了他们前进道路上的一切。泰丰斯领导了对星炬的最后一次攻击，不仅与考斯韦恩、扎哈瑞尔和他的黑暗天使发生了冲突，还与西吉斯蒙德、幼发拉底·琪乐和数百万幸存的泰拉难民发生了冲突。阿巴顿和艾瑞巴斯领导了对瓦尔多、多恩和幸存的禁军的进攻，因为双方都受到了现在狂暴的拉多隆手下疯狂的圣血天使的攻击。多亏了艾瑞巴斯的亚空间力量，阿巴顿和他的加斯塔林能够严重伤害瓦尔多，让他和多恩能够逃向帝皇和荷鲁斯战斗的风暴。然而，在星炬上，琪乐和黑暗天使智库能够利用阿克泰正在播放的“帝皇必然活着”的演讲来激励数百万人。死亡守卫甚至泰丰斯本人都被击退了，因为无数忠诚的人类为了重新激活它而向星炬牺牲了自己的灵魂。随着星炬的点燃，基里曼的3200多艘主力舰的增援舰队终于找到了泰拉的精确位置，距离泰拉只有几个小时的路程。在帝国圣所内，沃坎准备在听到叛徒势力冲击王座大厅大门的另一侧时激活七锤护符，但在听到阿克泰的信息后被说服停止。

Horus and The Emperor meet for their final battle 荷鲁斯和帝皇进行最后的战斗

By the command of the Praetorian, take up your weapons and advance. The Emperor stands alone, at the hour of greatest peril. Take up your weapons and come to His aid. Protect Him as He protects you. You are the shield of humanity! Rise together and stand as one. Stand at His side now, or all is lost. Terra must endure. The Imperium must stand. Horus Lupercal must fall. The Emperor must live. ~ Actae's psychic broadcast across Terra.

根据禁卫军的命令，拿起武器前进。在最危险的时刻，帝皇独自站着。拿起你的武器来帮助他。保护他，就像他保护你一样。你是人类的盾牌！一起站起来。现在站在他身边，否则一切都完了。泰拉必然忍耐。帝国必然屹立不倒。荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔必然倒下。帝皇必然活下去。~阿克泰在泰拉上的灵能广播。

Lupercal's Court 卢佩卡尔王庭

When the Emperor, accompanied by Caecaltus Dusk, Garviel Loken, and Leetu finally reached Lupercal's Court and found Sanguinius' mauled strung up corpse, the Master of Mankind showed no visible emotion. He simply ordered Sanguinius' corpse be taken down then ignored Lupercal's taunts and proclamations of supremacy, instead addressing the Gods of Chaos observing the battle directly and ordering they stand down. The Emperor stated that the Gods had killed his son, which Horus soon came to understand was a reference to himself as well and not just Sanguinius. Frustrated at being ignored, Horus shot a blast of lightning from his talon and the great duel to decide the fate of humanity finally began. Loken, Leetu, and Caecaltus were quickly thrown aside by the immense power being released.

当帝皇在凯卡尔图斯·达斯克、加维尔·洛肯和勒图的陪同下终于到达卢佩卡尔王庭，发现圣吉列斯被撕咬的尸体时，人类之主没有表现出明显的情绪。他只是下令将圣吉列斯的尸体取下，然后无视卢佩卡尔的嘲讽和至高无上的宣言，而是直接向观察战斗的混沌诸神发表讲话，命令他们下场。帝皇说诸神杀死了他的儿子，荷鲁斯很快就明白这也指的是他自己，而不仅仅是圣吉列斯。由于被忽视而感到沮丧，荷鲁斯用爪子射出一道闪电，决定人类命运的伟大决斗终于开始了。洛肯、勒图和凯卡尔图斯很快就被释放的巨大力量抛到了一边。

The ensuing titanic battle was fought across both the material and immaterial, across time and space and several dimensions simultaneously as the Chaos Gods watched on with glee and excitement. Fully empowered by The Four, Horus was able to match and then surpass the Emperor's own psychic might. What began as a physical contest of sword and maul escalated into a clash across time as they found themselves assailing one another on Cthonia, ancient Terra, Ullanor, Gorro, and even future Cadia. Horus and the Emperor began to attack one another in their own memories, and finally the battle manifested as a card game with the Imperial Tarot. Horus utilized his own deck he had been preparing for this, with cards whose creation was aided by the Chaos Gods. At the end of the duel the Emperor played his ultimate card, Death, but Horus countered with The Despoiler. The Emperor was defeated in the metaphysical, and in the material realm he was finally overwhelmed by Horus' barrage of attacks and collapsed.

随后发生的巨大战斗在物质和非物质、时间和空间以及多个维度上同时进行，混沌诸神高兴而兴奋地看着。在四位的全力支持下，荷鲁斯能够匹配并超越帝皇的灵能力量。随着时间的推移，他们发现自己在科索尼亚、古代泰拉、乌兰诺、戈罗甚至未来的卡迪亚上互相攻击，一场剑术和肉搏的身体竞赛逐渐升级为冲突。荷鲁斯和帝皇在自己的记忆中开始互相攻击，最后这场战斗表现为帝国塔罗的纸牌游戏。荷鲁斯使用了他一直在准备的自己的牌组，这些牌组的创建得到了混沌诸神的帮助。决斗结束时，帝皇打出了他的终极牌 — 死亡，但荷鲁斯用大掠夺者反击。帝皇在形而上学上被打败了，在物质领域，他最终被荷鲁斯的猛烈攻击所压倒并崩溃了。

Back in the Lupercal's Court, Horus dragged the Emperor towards the 5th throne he had constructed alongside those of the four Chaos Gods. Horus proclaimed that he would punish the Emperor by forcing Him to be his slave. However the Emperor was able to use the opportunity to absorb some of Horus' dark power to launch a vicious counterattack, summoning solid sigils of light in the air and using them as weapons. However, the Emperor had only absorbed a small portion of Horus' power in order to avoid corruption. Thus, Horus was able to overpower the Emperor once more and puncture his throat with a talon of his claw and nail his father back to the throne using his own sigil-blades. Horus then created a crown of red energy and placed it upon the Emperor's head, completing his tableau. It was then that Horus was confronted by the lone Custodian Caecaltus Dusk, who refused to back down in the face of impossible odds and distracted Horus long enough for Leetu to free the Emperor from the throne. Angered, Horus callously incinerated Caecaltus with a blast of dark energy from the great eye upon the chest of his armour. But this was all the time the Emperor needed to take the crown Horus had created for him and ram it through the treacherous Warmaster's skull. Horus quickly regenerated from the attack and struck down the Emperor once more.

回到卢佩卡尔王庭，荷鲁斯拖着帝皇走向他与四位混沌之神一起建造的第五个宝座。荷鲁斯宣称，他将通过强迫帝皇成为他的奴隶来惩罚他。然而，帝皇能够利用这个机会吸收荷鲁斯的一些黑暗力量，发动恶毒的反击，在空中召唤出坚固的光标，并将其用作武器。然而，为了避免腐化，帝皇只吸收了荷鲁斯的一小部分力量。因此，荷鲁斯再次制服了帝皇，用爪子刺穿了他的喉咙，用自己的剑刃把父亲钉回了王座。荷鲁斯随后创造了一顶红色能量的王冠，并将其戴在帝皇的头上，完成了他的画面。就在那时，荷鲁斯遇到了唯一的禁军凯卡尔图斯·达斯克，他在不可能的困难面前拒绝退缩，并让荷鲁斯分心了足够长的时间，让勒图将帝皇从王座上解放出来。荷鲁斯怒不可遏，用一只巨大的眼睛对着他的盔甲胸膛，无情地焚烧了凯卡尔图斯。但这正是帝皇需要拿下荷鲁斯为他创造的王冠，并将其穿过奸诈的战帅头骨的时候。荷鲁斯很快从攻击中恢复过来，再次击败了帝皇。

Horus and the Emperor battle 荷鲁斯与帝皇战斗

It was then that Ollanius Persson arrived in Lupercal's Court, teleported there alongside John Grammaticus by Actae. John used a single line of Enuncia to briefly blow back the monstrous Warmaster as Ollanius tried to wake the Emperor and give him the Athame blade they had recovered. John was forced to flee but Ollanius stood his ground and unloaded his Lasgun into Horus. Horus contemptuously swiped his talon, reducing Ollanius to red mist but giving the Emperor the time He needed.

就在那时，欧兰尼奥斯·佩松到达了卢佩卡尔王庭，与约翰·格拉马迪库斯一起被阿克泰传送到那里。当欧兰尼奥斯试图唤醒帝皇并将他们找到的仪式刃交给他时，约翰用一行暗言短暂地击退了可怕的战帅。约翰被迫逃离，但欧兰尼奥斯坚守阵地，将他的激光枪对准荷鲁斯。荷鲁斯轻蔑地挥了挥爪子，把欧兰尼奥斯变成了红雾，但给了帝皇他所需要的时间。

After killing Ollanius, Horus turned back to the Emperor's body and saw Garviel Loken before him. Loken pleaded with his father to prove that he was always the better man and prove he was not a slave to Chaos as the Emperor had accused. He pointed out that the Emperor had rejected to fully drink from the warp to become the Dark King and that Horus was the one being controlled by the Dark Powers. Loken appealed to Horus' pride, convincing him to briefly shed off his tremendous Warp powers and finish the Emperor as a mere Primarch. Horus, perhaps in his arrogance, agreed to do so since the battle was over anyway. Horus briefly cast off the powers of Chaos and crushed in the Emperor's skull with Worldbreaker as the Chaos Gods and Daemons around them angrily shouted and protested, trying to warn Horus of something. Horus ignored them but was shocked to find that this was simply a ruse by the Emperor. Loken and the Emperor's corpse had both been illusions, and the real Emperor launched one last assault upon Horus.

杀死欧兰尼奥斯后，荷鲁斯转身回到帝皇的尸体前，看到了面前的加维尔·洛肯。洛肯恳求他的父亲证明他总是更好的人，并证明他不是帝皇所指责的混乱的奴隶。他指出，帝皇拒绝满饮亚空间之力成为黑暗之王，而荷鲁斯是被黑暗势力控制的人。洛肯唤起了荷鲁斯的骄傲，说服他短暂地摆脱巨大的亚空间力量，把帝皇当作一个纯粹的原体来终结。荷鲁斯，也许是出于傲慢，同意这样做，因为战斗已经结束了。荷鲁斯短暂地摆脱了混沌之力，并与破世者一起粉碎了帝皇的头骨，因为他们周围的混沌诸神和恶魔愤怒地大喊大叫并抗议，试图警告荷鲁斯一些事情。荷鲁斯无视他们，但震惊地发现这只是帝皇的诡计。洛肯和帝皇的尸体都是幻觉，真正的帝皇对荷鲁斯发动了最后一次进攻。

Ollanius Persson faces down Horus 欧兰尼奥斯·佩松面对荷鲁斯

With Horus briefly depowered and the Emperor greatly weakened, the ensuing contest became purely a physical one but the Warmaster was able to gouge out the Emperor's eye, mutilate his arm, crush his spine, and set his hair alight. The Emperor struck back, using the power of the reactivated Astronomican to shine its light directly into Horus' brain. The Warmaster fell into agony as he desperately tried to cloak himself in Warp power once more. However much to Horus' horror, he discovered that the Chaos Gods were now teaching him a lesson of sorts by deliberately denying him their power. Horus came to the realization that he had never been in control, and his Chaos masters were treating him as they would a disobedient slave. The realization combined with the brief absence of Warp corruption over his soul saw the old Horus the Emperor had once loved manifest once more.

随着荷鲁斯的短暂失势和帝皇的极大削弱，随后的比赛变成了纯粹的身体对抗，但战帅能够挖出皇帝的眼睛，肢解他的手臂，压碎他的脊椎，并点燃他的头发。帝皇进行了反击，利用重新激活的星炬的力量将光线直接照射到荷鲁斯的大脑中。战帅绝望地试图再次用亚空间力量伪装自己，陷入了痛苦之中。无论荷鲁斯多么害怕，他发现混沌诸神现在故意否认他的力量，给了他一个教训。荷鲁斯意识到他从未控制过局面，他的混沌主人们对待他就像对待一个不听话的奴隶一样。意识到这一点，再加上他灵魂上暂时没有亚空间腐化，帝皇曾经爱过的过去的荷鲁斯再次显现。

Horus pleaded with the Emperor to kill him before the Chaos Gods could fully reassert control. The Emperor initially hesitated, but granted Horus a mercy and stabbed His son through the chest with the Athame blade Ollanius had given him. The Emperor then channeled all of His might into the blade, obliterating Horus' form and reducing him to a mere skeleton inside charred armour. With the deed done, the Emperor immediately collapsed as the real Garviel Loken watched with horror. Furious and wailing that their pawn was dead, the Chaos Gods instantly retreated back into the shadows. The Warp-madness that had plagued Terra and the Vengeful Spirit went with them and conventional space-time was restored.

荷鲁斯恳求帝皇在混沌诸神完全重新控制之前杀了他。帝皇起初犹豫了一下，但宽恕了荷鲁斯，并用欧兰尼奥斯给他的仪式刃刺穿了他的儿子的胸膛。然后，帝皇将所有的力量都投入到刀刃上，抹去了荷鲁斯的身形，把他变成了烧焦盔甲里的骷髅。行动完成后，帝皇立刻崩溃了，真正的加维尔·洛肯惊恐地看着。混沌诸神愤怒地哭喊着他们的棋子已经死了，立刻撤退到阴影中。困扰泰拉和复仇之魂号的亚空间疯狂也随之而去，传统的时空得以恢复。

Aftermath 余波

Shortly after Dorn, Valdor, and a small Custodes escort arrived in Lupercal's court to find Loken and the two corpses. Leetu had also lived through the ordeal, and directed Dorn as to where to find Sanguinius' body and Ferrus Manus' skull. Both alongside the Emperor's body were taken by Dorn and the others as they teleported back into the Imperial Palace. Loken insisted he stay behind to watch over his fathers body, something that later caused him to be killed by Erebus. Back inside the Throneroom, Leetu pointed out a Throne Tarot Card had been discovered by the Emperor's body. Dorn and even Valdor both agreed this was a sign directing them to place the Emperor upon the Golden Throne much more. Malcador's form upon the Throne had since disintegrated into nothingness. The Emperor has spent the last 10,000 years upon the Golden Throne, eternally silent.

不久之后，多恩、瓦尔多和一个小禁军护送队抵达卢佩卡尔王庭，找到了洛肯和两具尸体。勒图也经历了这场磨难，并指示多恩在哪里找到圣吉列斯的尸体和费鲁斯·马努斯的头骨。在帝皇的尸体旁边，多恩和其他人被传送回皇宫时带走了。洛肯坚持要留下来照看他父亲的尸体，这后来导致他被艾瑞巴斯杀死。回到王座大厅，勒图指出帝皇的尸体发现了一张王座塔罗牌。多恩甚至瓦尔多都认为这是一个指示他们将帝皇更多地放在黄金王座上的迹象。马卡多在王座上的形象从此瓦解为虚无。帝皇在过去的一万年里一直坐在黄金王座上，永远保持沉默。

Immediately upon the death of Horus, the situation on Terra reversed completely. Every Daemon across Terra was sent back into the Warp as the Chaos Gods recoiled. Guilliman's fleet arrived in the Sol System, bringing massive amounts of reinforcements and beginning a vicious counterattack alongside Admiral Niora Su-Kassen and The Phalanx, which emerges with its escorts from hiding within the rings of Saturn to attack the traitors. With their Primarch dead, the Sons of Horus fell into complete disarray and immediately broke, with Abaddon gaining some groups of survivors and fleeing aboard the Vengeful Spirit. Many of the more corrupted traitor Space Marines died where they stood, while others fell into a fugue state. Panic broke out amongst the lesser followers of Chaos. Though massively outnumbered, the small group of loyalist survivors led a spiteful counterattack that chased the Traitors out of the Palace and soon all of Terra. Over the ensuing days the Traitors were completely routed. While it is said that the Sons of Horus were the first to flee the Throneworld, the Death Guard are thought to be the last.

荷鲁斯死后，泰拉上的局势立即完全逆转。随着混沌诸神的退缩，泰拉上的每一个恶魔都被送回了亚空间。基里曼的舰队抵达了太阳系，带来了大量的增援部队，并与海军上将尼奥拉·苏-卡珊和山阵号一起开始了猛烈的反击，山阵号带着护卫舰队从土星环内现身，攻击叛徒。随着他们的原体死亡，荷鲁斯之子陷入完全混乱并立即崩溃，阿巴顿集结了一些幸存者，并乘坐复仇之魂号逃离。许多更堕落的叛徒星际战士在他们所站的地方死去，而其他人则陷入了神游状态。混沌的追随者中爆发了恐慌。尽管人数远远超过对手，但一小群忠诚的幸存者领导了一场恶毒的反击，将叛徒赶出了皇宫，很快就赶出了整个泰拉。在接下来的几天里，叛徒们被彻底击败了。虽然据说荷鲁斯之子是第一个逃离王座世界的人，但死亡守卫被认为是最后一个。

The Horus Heresy did not end with the Battle of Terra. The Loyalists still had to drive the remaining rebels from the Imperium, one world at a time. In what became known as the Great Scouring, the traitorous forces of Chaos were eventually driven into the Eye of Terror.

荷鲁斯叛乱并没有随着泰拉之战而结束。忠诚派仍然不得不将剩下的叛军赶出帝国，一次一个世界。在后来被称为大清洗的事件中，混沌的叛徒势力最终被驱逐到恐惧之眼。

Trivia 琐事

Conflicting sources 来源冲突

There are many differences with the narrative of the Siege of Terra as originally told in older sources with that of the Black Library novel series. Most notably these include:

与旧资料中最初讲述的泰拉围城的叙事与黑色图书馆小说系列的叙事有很多不同。最值得注意的包括：

• In the original lore, Lorgar himself led the Word Bearers on Terra. However as of the events of the novel Slaves to Darkness, Lorgar is banished from Horus' sight for attempting to usurp him and instead the Word Bearers at Terra were led by Zardu Layak.

• 在最初的传说中，珞珈本人领导了泰拉上的怀言者。然而，正如小说《黑暗之奴》中的事件一样，珞珈因试图篡夺荷鲁斯的权力而被驱逐出荷鲁斯的视线，取而代之的是，泰拉的怀言者是由扎杜·拉亚克领导的。

• The Iron Warriors did not evacuate midway into the siege.

• 钢铁勇士没有在围城中途撤离。

• Kharn the Betrayer was not slain by Sigismund.

• 背叛者卡恩没有被西吉斯蒙德杀死。

• Mortarion was not banished back to the Warp in a duel with Jaghatai Khan.

• 莫塔里安在与察合台可汗的决斗中没有被驱逐回亚空间。

• Dark Angels did not land at the Astronomican.

• 黑暗天使没有降落在星炬上。

• The Sky Fortress was used for the defense of the Eternity Gate, not for the retaking of the Lion's Gate Spaceport by Jaghatai Khan.

• 天空要塞是用来防御永恒之门的，而不是察合台可汗用来夺回狮门太空港的。

• Magnus was not defeated by Vulkan, and likewise Angron was not defeated by Sanguinius.

• 马格努斯没有被沃坎击败，同样，安格隆也没有被圣吉列斯击败。

• Sanguinius is able to crack a small chink out of Horus' armour, which the Emperor later exploits. This is not present in the Black Library novels.

• 圣吉列斯能够从荷鲁斯的盔甲上敲出一个小缺口，帝皇后来利用了这个缺口。这在黑色图书馆的小说中是不存在的。

• The final battle between Horus and the Emperor is greatly expanded upon and includes figures such as Ollanius Persson, Garviel Loken, Leetu and the Athame which were not present in the original.

• 荷鲁斯和帝皇之间的最后一场战斗得到了极大的扩展，并包括了欧兰尼奥斯·佩松、加维尔·洛肯、勒图等人物和仪式刃，这些人物在原作中并不存在。

• It is left ambiguous as to who actually stands between Horus and the Emperor's broken body, with some stating it was a Custodian, Space Marine, or lone Guardsman Ollanius Pius. The Black Library novels reveal all three to have been true at different points.

• 至于谁真正站在荷鲁斯和帝皇破碎的尸体之间，人们并不清楚，有人说是禁军、星际战士还是单独的卫兵欧兰涅斯•皮乌斯。黑色图书馆的小说揭示了这三个在不同的点上都是真实的。

• The Emperor is insistent that he be brought back to the throne after defeating Horus, whereas in the novels he is unconscious and they discover a tarot guide of the throne to guide them to the conclusion.

• 帝皇坚持在击败荷鲁斯后将他带回王座，而在小说中，他是无意识的，他们发现了一个指向王座的塔罗牌来指引他们得出结论。
