Warhammer: Don't Call Me the God of All Machines

Chapter 191 Each other's little secrets
Before this, Roche had never known that Guilliman had such a room.

He reserved seats for all the brothers, even the two brothers who could not be mentioned and the brothers who had rebelled.

This is Roboute's secret base, and he is the only one who knows of its existence.

Not only Lion, when Roche saw those neatly arranged chairs, he also deeply felt the humanity contained in Guilliman's character. He was not only the wise and brave Primarch, but also a living person with brotherhood.

Even among mortals there were many cases of brothers fighting against each other and killing each other, but Guilliman did better than most of them.

"You believe that there will be a day when all of us, including father, can sit at this table on an equal footing and discuss the affairs of the empire together. You built this room for that day." Ryan sighed. This is almost impossible.

"Yes, I believe it." The Primarch's words did not waver in the slightest, he still firmly believed it.

The lion pointed to the positions of Horus, Magnus, Perturabo and others who had betrayed their brothers, and he asked Guilliman what he thought of those traitors.

"They are unforgivable, but their place will not be erased, just as their presence will not be erased in the empire, even if it is shame and pain we still need to remember."

"We will preserve all traces, and let future generations judge the merits and demerits. The noble deeds of the loyal will be remembered, and the despicable deeds of the betrayers will be nailed to the pillar of shame by the world."

Guilliman suddenly sighed, "Now that you and I have come together, I wonder when I will be able to see the other brothers again."

This was a completely subconscious sigh, but as the words came out, Guilliman's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He looked at Luo Xi with a guilty conscience, and the latter understood what he meant.

Technically, he had indeed met the other brother before Ryan arrived.

The Lord of Fire Dragons fell from the atmosphere, with all his flesh and blood burned to charcoal.

This secret information remains sealed, and Guilliman is not yet ready to make it public.

The death of a Primarch is a huge matter no matter what. His relationship with the Lion has just warmed up a little, and Guilliman doesn't want to make this Caliban big cat angry again.

The Lion King is a classic example of someone who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. He just had to spend a lot of time and effort to appease Ryan before he could calm this Caliban man down.

But when Guilliman turned his head and avoided Lion's gaze, he didn't notice that the serious and dull Lion King also turned his eyes away with a guilty look.

He pretended to look at the distant mountains through the glass window under the window frame, but in fact he was hiding his embarrassment.

The Great Lion chose to keep some things secret for the time being, for Guilliman's own good, and he believed that it was nothing, and that he could deal with the damned monster on the Indomitable Truth.

As long as Konrad was captured before Guilliman knew, no one would know the secret of the Dark Angels.

Emperor, the entire Macragge is indeed not just populated by two Primarchs, him and Guilliman. The Midnight Haunter is also imprisoned on his flagship, the Indomitable Truth.

In response, Lion decided to block the news and never let Guilliman know that a rebellious Primarch was still at large on his flagship.

Was he going to tell Guilliman that his brother couldn't take down Konrad Curze on his own flagship, with the help of twenty thousand Dark Angels? That damned midnight monster.

The pride of a lion must not be trampled upon, especially by someone as malicious as Guilliman.

No one knew whether this damned Macragge man would enthusiastically and innocently offer to help capture Curze. Lion dared to swear that if he said that Konrad Curze was here, Guilliman would immediately turn against him.

If the wandering soul in the middle of the night starts to cause trouble, such as dropping the four hundred drop pods from the Indomitable Truth, or directly controlling the weapons room to release the extermination order weapons...

The more Ryan thought about it, the more he felt that this was not impossible.

His beastly instincts, honed in the jungles of Caliban, were warning him that something unpleasant was about to happen.

Thinking of this, the Lion didn't want to have any more roundabout verbal exchanges with Guilliman. He wanted to end the conversation as quickly as possible and return to his flagship to resolve the trouble.

Guilliman detected a flash of impatience in his brother, which was unusual.

"Lion, I know you don't trust me. Since you arrived, you have suspected that I would commit the same ugly act as Horus. Do you think I am also on the path of betrayal?"

The Lion had already sat in the chair that Guilliman had prepared for him, his hands spread out on the table, his eyes fixed on his brother, like a stern examiner conducting an interview.

"I know some of your little secrets, Roboute, and you haven't hidden them very well. You want to build a second empire, and what's happening in the entire galaxy proves this."

"If the Emperor and Malcador wanted to, they could psychically tell what you were doing here."

The Lord of Macragge responded equally without showing any weakness.

"No, I'm just trying to keep a flame alive, you see, I have no interest in starting a new empire.

Because the 500 worlds of Ultramar are my kingdom, and what I do is only to continue the future of mankind if Terra has already fallen to Horus's army. "

What Guilliman said was true, and Lion could not rule out this possibility, which made him even more anxious.

On the one hand, there is the potential threat of the Night Haunter, and on the other hand, he cannot cross the storm to support Terra, the throne world of mankind.

His loyalty was suffering.

"I want to trust you, Guilliman, but how can I trust you?" The lion's eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing through all disguises and defenses.

Roboute said: "Lion, you know, if I had the intention of rebellion, I would have ascended the throne when the Warp Storm monopolized everything. But I don't want to be the emperor. I just want to protect my territory and my people, and protect the last spark of mankind so that it will not be cut off."

The lion king was already moved, even Luo Xi could see it.

The mortal advisor added at the right time: "Lord Lion, you stand on high and observe Guilliman's loyalty, but what about you?
I have learned about you. You are full of secrets. No one can see through your thoughts and intentions. How can you prove your loyalty? "

Luo Xi's words made the Lion King's face instantly gloomy, and a look of anger flashed across his face.

"Admit it, great Lion El'Jonson, we are now forced to gather together on Macragge as traitors are about to extinguish the light of Terra.

Speak out all your heart, break apart your suspicions and doubts, we don't have the time and energy to play games again and again." Luo Xi has walked in front of the lion king.

Guilliman felt greatly relieved by the words of his mortal advisor, as if he had eaten a bucket of ice on a hot summer day.

But he was also afraid of completely angering this Caliban cat, so he immediately added:
"We are in awe of you, Lion. You are so special among us. Even when Horus was appointed as the Warmaster, what made him most happy was not defeating me, Ferrus or Rogge, but you. I think you are the best candidate for the Warmaster."

Roche glanced at Guilliman. Even Roche, who had only read the information, could hear the problem with what he said.

Guilliman was an avid supporter of Ferrus at the time, although the latter was not impressed by the support from Macragge.

The lion's expression became strange again, a weird expression as if he wanted to laugh but was forcing himself to look serious.

Warmaster, Warmaster...

These two words seemed to have a strange magic that made the great lion king fall into it.

Just like in ancient Earth, there was something called catnip that was attractive to cats.

Guilliman took advantage of the victory and said, "Come on, join me, Lion. We must form a solid enough whole and form a temporary alliance. One of us needs to become the leader of everyone."

The lion no longer had the aggressive attitude he had just had, and he was still intoxicated by the title of war commander.

Luo Xi felt that the strange scene before him was like a Caliban cat encountering its own catnip.

This steady and improving situation did not last long, as the hidden communication device in Ryan's chest emitted an ominous sound wave.

The sound included the roar of artillery fire and the horrifying sound of parts of the battleship burning.

A frightened voice cried out, "My lord! That thing has escaped!"

"He, that wandering spirit, he's coming!"
