Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 104 The Smurfs Seeking Death
Garen had a general idea of ​​the situation of the Great Crusade.

In 30 of the 862th Millennium, the Randan armies invaded the Imperium along the northern and eastern sides of the galaxy, and the Second Randan Purge began, second only to the later Horus Heresy in scale.

How difficult is it to fight the Randan alien?
According to Galen's understanding, the battle was so brutal that entire expedition fleets were destroyed without a single survivor, many worlds were razed to the ground, and even dozens of Titan legions were annihilated. Legend has it that an entire Space Marine legion was also annihilated in the war.

Ah, that’s right, this unlucky legion is undoubtedly his second legion.

The battle was so brutal that even the original leader was killed.

The Smurfs were going to die for him now? Was the Emperor playing such a big game?
In the reception room, Guilliman was puzzled as to why his brother stared at him with pity after hearing that he was going to fight the Randan alien.

He was aware of the reputation of the Randan aliens. In the first Randan purge, the First Legion Dark Angels paid a very heavy price. A total of 1 legion soldiers and 50 battleships, including a Queen of Glory-class battleship, were destroyed.

However, Guilliman was full of confidence in his command ability. He believed that with his strategic vision, he would be able to manipulate the Randan aliens at will through excellent battlefield deployment and troop formations.

To be on the safe side, Guilliman asked the Emperor to go to Demacia and borrow some special weapons that could target psychic powers from his Primarch brother, who had outstanding research in psychic powers.

During a war against the Greenskin Orcs in conjunction with the Luna Wolves, Guilliman was shocked when he saw the Luna Wolves' war machine called the Anti-Greenskin Titan.

When the war was over, Guilliman asked Horus why he had never heard of the Imperium developing such a powerful weapon of war, Horus replied.

"This is not the result of the Empire's research. These three Titans come from one of our Primarch brothers, the Primarch Galen Crownguard of the Second Legion."

When he received the order to purge the Randan and learned about the horrific danger posed by the Randan aliens, the first thing Guilliman thought of was to go to Demacia.

Since there are anti-psychic weapons against the green-skinned orcs, the Second Legion must also have war weapons to resist the psychic generating devices of the Randan aliens.

"My brother, besides lava bombs, do you have any equipment for psychic weapons against the Randan aliens?"

Galen shook his head.

"I haven't developed this kind of weapon because I'm not familiar with the Randan aliens. If I could get a Randan alien, or get their psychic equipment, maybe I could make a targeted anti-psychic weapon."

Garen threw out a hook in his words, indicating that anti-Randan weapons are possible!
However, specific studies are needed.

Hey! For example, when the Smurfs are fighting, taking him with you to pick up scraps and study the Randan aliens might yield some results.

Guilliman also understood the meaning of his brother's words, but he did not point it out. He just smiled and said.

"Thank you for your help, my brother. These lava bombs will surely play a crucial role."

Seeing that Guilliman was not fooled, Galen became a little anxious. He held Guilliman's hand and said.

"My brother, the Randan alien is too dangerous, and anti-Randan weapons are crucial.

How about this, we two brothers jointly petition the emperor to temporarily lift my house arrest.

Oh no! The Second Legion can't go to the war as a whole, so it should be okay to take me alone, right?"

The Lord of Macragge tried to understand Garen's behavior and why he was so determined to participate in such a dangerous battle.

As far as he knew, the Second Legion was different from most legions. Although the Second Legion also valued honor, it was not as obsessed with gaining from war as other legions.

Winning is a duel with comrades, and they will feel honored.

After a battle, if a company suffered less casualties than other companies, they would feel honored. They even have this extremely strange custom of being knocked unconscious by the Primarch today.

In short, Lord Macragge believed that this strange Second Legion was somewhat similar to his Ultramarines, but the similarity lay in that it was somewhat incompatible with the other legions.

Guilliman does not gain satisfaction or honor from war; he only feels joy from the execution of plans and the achievement of goals.

He is a blue man who is extremely planned and has plans, and executes them like an extremely obsessive-compulsive person.

Guilliman did not want to offend the Emperor, so he used his political skills to play Tai Chi with the Second Legion.

Gradually, Galen also discovered this.

They talked about the Battle of Randan, the customs and habits of the two legions, and other things. There was some information, but it was very little and irrelevant.

Galen likes to call it the "Markula-style greeting", which is just like when the elderly chat about daily life, the first sentence they ask is "Have you eaten?"

Eventually, Galen used his persistence and rogue threats to force Guilliman to agree.

For example, if you do not agree to write a joint letter to the emperor, don’t even think about shipping your lava bomb.

The spacecraft transporting lava bombs might get lost in the Warp and fly back to Demacia like a ghost.

Emperor's Fantasy.

just now.

As the Emperor was rejoicing over the discovery of another lost son, the Astropath presented him with a communication from the Ultramarines.

The Emperor took the message from the Astropath and quickly read this blasphemous letter. He immediately realized that this was not written by Guilliman, but by his disobedient second son.

The content is also very simple. He first cried out that the Emperor had taken all the benefits of burning the Garden of Nurgle. Not only did he not even give him a bowl of soup, but he also confined him to Demacia.

Then, in a formal and organized handwriting, he presented to the Emperor the dangers of Randan and the great danger that the Ultramarines would face.

Finally, he asked the Emperor to temporarily lift his confinement and allow him to go to the front line with the Ultramarines Legion to fight against the Randan army.

After a moment's contemplation, the emperor agreed to his second son's request.

Macragge's Glory.

just now.

The Primarch was not wearing his Ironheart Power Armour, but instead a suit of Ultramarines' Power Armour, dressed as a Smurf.

Garen still envisioned the scene on the battlefield, when the Randan army surrounded a team of Smurfs and was confident that they could wipe them out.

He jumped out of the crowd with a big sword in hand, shouting "For Macragge!"
Then, he killed the Randan soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables.

The top leaders of Randan absolutely cannot understand how a mere Extreme Warrior soldier could have such strong combat power!
