Warhammer: Emperor's Ravenbringer

Chapter 19 I am the other head of the empire
"The Moravec Vault involves secret knowledge that humans should not know. It will never be opened."

The Emperor ruthlessly rejected the demands of Kalbo and other Martian lords.

"We just want to study the unknown technology left by the sage."

“We can take a pledge not to misuse the technology,” Karbo said.

"Are you going to betray the Mechanical Spirit?"

The emperor's attitude was tough and there was no room for negotiation.

Carlbo and others were filled with indignation and resentment.

But facing the emperor who was recognized by the world as the incarnation of the God of All Things, they had no way to resist.

"You are absolutely not allowed to open the Moravec Secret Vault, and you are not allowed to store any route information leading to the Moravec Secret Vault."

"Once we discover that you are attempting to open the secret vault, you will be considered a traitor to the Mechanical Spirit and will not be tolerated."

The Emperor warned Kalbo and others.

Then he stood in front of the door of the secret vault and cast a seal.

After completing these tasks, he led everyone back to the ground.

Karbo originally wanted to use the stored route information to secretly organize people to open the Moravec secret vault.

When I got to the ground and looked at my memory, I found that there was only a series of meaningless garbled codes in it.

Nothing was recorded of this journey.

He was so angry that he wanted to threaten the emperor with force.

As a Forge General, he was born to protect technology and was eager to study the ancient secrets that could bring future glory.

The Emperor brought him to the gates of the Moravec Mystery, but forbade him to enter.

What a cruel thing this is.

Is such a person really the incarnation of the God of All Things?
Perhaps he is just a false god who claims the name of a god with the intention of preventing humans from evolving to a higher level.

The Emperor has located the rumored Moravec Mystery Vault.

Those lords had no choice but to acknowledge that the Emperor was the physical incarnation of the God of All Things.

It was only natural for Mars to submit to the Empire.

Carlbo and others were unwilling to accept this, but they could not change anything.

The fanatical mob would tear them to pieces.

Malcador landed on the surface of Mars with many Terran bureaucrats.

Discuss with local lords the incorporation of Mars into the human empire.

The Empire will provide protection to the Tech-Priests, granting them the right to retain independent armies, priority excavation of ruins, and the right to recycle Golden Age technology.

The administrators of Mars and Forge Worlds are appointed and selected by the Mechanicum.

Allow them to retain their faith in the God of All Things.

They were also provided with six families of Navigators to replace the slave Navigators that had long since died out on Mars.

Allowing the Mechanicus's ships to safely cross the warp.

The Casting General of Mars will also be given a seat on the War Council and participate in all matters of the Empire.

In return, the Mechanicus will become the Empire's production agency, providing the army with a steady supply of materials.

Build a sufficiently powerful war fleet and provide sufficient weapons and equipment for the upcoming great expedition.

The Emperor initially intended for the new Empire to sign an alliance with the Mechanicus.

The Empire will also change its flag pattern from lightning and an eagle to a double-headed eagle.

One head represents the Empire, and the other represents the Mechanicus.

In the original plan, it was very important to master the technological knowledge of the Golden Age and the STC's Mechanicus.

Only with their assistance can the Great Expedition be successfully promoted.

However, the appearance of Raven allowed the Emperor to obtain super-divine cosmic technology and knowledge.

He will get more in the future.

The importance of the Mechanicus plummeted.

No longer has enough weight to become the other head of the Empire's double-headed eagle.

The Emperor abandoned his original plan and intended to make Mars a department of the Empire.

The incorporation of Mars into the Empire and its transformation into a production facility caused dissatisfaction among many high-ranking officials within the Mechanicus.

In particular, the Emperor also proposed a ban on excessive research into self-aware intelligence.

Machinery and science, which are known to confuse technology with witchcraft, are taboo.

Discontent is growing and even tends to evolve into a separatist war.

However, this dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared just when it was about to reach its climax.

This was because a member of the Imperial Guard who had been implanted with the Empire's first-generation genetic engine showed amazing combat effectiveness when suppressing the rebels.

With one halberd, he chopped a 15-meter-tall knight mecha into pieces, turning it into smoking wreckage.

After realizing that the Imperial Guards could easily cleanse the entire Mars, Carlbo and others fell silent.

The wave of resistance disappeared overnight.

After the initial integration of Mars, the four giants of the empire gathered together to discuss future plans.

"It seems that the double-headed eagle flag that was originally made can no longer be used."

Makado felt a little regretful.

"The Imperium's plan to use the double-headed eagle as its banner remains unchanged," the Emperor said.

"Ah?" Malcador looked confused. "The Empire has already given up its alliance with Mars, so why are they still using the double-headed eagle flag?"

The Emperor looked at Raven and smiled, a rare moment. "One head of the double-headed eagle flag represents the Empire of Man, while the other head represents the Empire's allies. The Mechanicus is no longer qualified to be an ally of the Empire, but Mr. Raven can be."

Malcador and Valdor looked towards Raven, who was showing off his fries on the table.

Raven: “…”

No, big guy, this joke is exaggerated.

"If it's Mr. Raven, he is indeed qualified." Waldo nodded.

A guy with powerful abilities who can travel through the heavens, but who only wants to show off French fries all day long.

Becoming an ally of the new empire and being completely tied together is indeed a very good choice.

If Mars were to become an ally of Terra, those oil men, no, those priests of the Mechanicus would surely be thinking all day about how to improve their independent status.

They may also choose to betray the empire at a critical moment.

"Everything is in accordance with your majesty's will." Malcador naturally would not object.

The appearance of the raven brought them so much.

And what he wanted was so ordinary, just delicious French fries and ketchup.

The Emperor looked at Raven and said, "Then let's decide it this way. The Empire will adopt the double-headed eagle flag as a continuation of our contract. Mr. Raven, is that ok?"

Raven looked at the big guy, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay, no problem."

The empire's switch to a double-headed eagle flag also represented the true birth of the new human empire.

It represents two integral parts of the Imperium of Man.

The Emperor and the Raven.

In addition to discussing the change of flag, the Emperor also asked Malcador to secretly organize a group of trustworthy mechanical priests to form the Unification Society.

The first thing the Unification Council did after its establishment was to build the Empire's celestial computer.

The celestial computers in the Super God Universe are not highly intelligent, but their computing power is astonishingly powerful.

The most powerful one is the big clock left by the Shenhe civilization.

After the Iron Heresy, the Emperor no longer trusted self-aware AI.

The celestial computer of the Super God Universe is a good alternative.

The Emperor said: "Everything about humanity started from Terra. Let's name the first generation of celestial computers Terra."

A week after Mars was annexed by the Imperium, the Emperor left the surface of Mars to continue the Great Crusade.

Super god universe.

Earth.

With the help of the Emperor, Kesha did not die on the Emerald Planet.

However, Carl had already prepared a backup plan in case Emerald Star failed.

He used void technology and the big clock to attack Kesha again.

Kai'Sa was seriously injured and fell into coma, and her holy body entered a long period of self-repair.

Due to Morgana's interference, the angels on Earth lost contact with the Melo Celestial Palace.

Forces from all sides enter the Earth and a new round of war breaks out.

The Xiongbing Company was transferred to Beizhixing to participate in the defense of the capital.

Swear to defend the last hope of mankind.

At Carl's suggestion, the demons, Taotie, Tanlang and other civilizations continuously launched attacks on the North Star, intending to completely destroy the Earth.

Thanks to the adaptive gene engine left behind by the Emperor before his departure, China is able to have a steady supply of super soldiers to replenish battlefield losses.

The angels also provided China with technologies such as nuclear fusion, dark plane, and wormholes.

China used its strong industrial capabilities to quickly digest these technologies and fight against many civilizations on its own.

"A new round of artillery fire is coming, retreat."

Dukao's orders rang in the ears of the super soldiers.

They retreated from the battlefield in an orderly manner, carrying back the bodies of their fallen comrades.

"Fuck, it seems like these aliens are endless."

Liu Chuang dragged the unconscious Ge Xiaolun back into the protective shield.

With the help of the angels, the entire North Star established a protective shield.

As long as the energy is not exhausted, it can continue to resist the bombardment of starships.

With the help of the angels, Ge Xiaolun integrated the void and anti-void and developed the Qiankun combat version, which greatly improved his combat effectiveness.

But facing those powerful alien civilizations, he was still not up to the task and was knocked unconscious by the concentrated fire from the other side.

"If only the boss was still here, this battle wouldn't have to be so hard."

Rose, whose armor was covered in blood, looked exhausted.

There was some nostalgia in his words for the man who once made the entire academy lose face.

If that man were still alive, he would definitely be able to lead them out of their current predicament.

"Do you think he really died on Emerald Star?" Liu Chuang asked.

Qiangwei shook her head: "I don't know. The only one who knows the inside story, Kesha, is in a coma. And Reina doesn't want to see us again because of guilt."

"But I believe he is definitely not dead, I just don't know where he went."

"One day, he will surely appear again and crush any alien civilization that attempts to conquer humanity."
