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

Chapter 195 The Midnight Haunter Arrives
"The Dark Angels' flagship and other warships have been temporarily detained and blocked. We no longer have to worry about Ryan smashing all his forbidden weapons on Macragge. By the way, how is the recovery of the airborne pod?" Luo Xi brought good news.

Hearing this, Guilliman’s heart finally settled down.

"This is actually a misunderstanding. The Dark Angels Fleet is willing to be detained in our shipyard, which proves that Ryan is not lying. Otherwise, they are fish on the chopping board."

"But even if it was a misunderstanding, he went too far."

Thinking of this, the Primarch was filled with hatred. No matter what Lion did, it was what he deserved. He actually brought Curze with him.

"I have heard of the reputation of Midnight Haunter, of course, in battle reports and video footage," said Luo Xi.

Konrad Curze is the Primarch of the Night Haunter Legion. This entire legion is no different from their Primarch in style, and is best at using terror, blood, and massacre to deter the enemy.

The news of the arrival of the Night Haunter Legion was enough to break the will of many resistance fighters, who would rather die than fall into the hands of the Night Haunter.

"No." Guilliman got on a hovercraft. He had to rush back as quickly as possible and organize people to capture Curze.

"Ten times the lower limit of what you can imagine, you'd be half as good as Conrad Curze. He's a complete lunatic who claims to be tormented by visions. I don't know what terrible things he could do."

"Where is your iron man? I think I need to use the power of the forbidden object this time." Guilliman asked. Ever since he was rescued by the super-thinking iron man sent by Roshi on Nuceria, he had a showdown with Roshi.

He could tolerate the existence of the Iron Men, but unless it was absolutely necessary, Roshi would never use those hateful Iron Men in the Macragge galaxy.

Guilliman originally thought that the so-called last minute would never come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

The Night Haunter is more dangerous than a walking super-heavy nuclear bomb.

"It's almost there. It will arrive at Macragge in about fifteen minutes. It is impossible to teleport directly from Mustafar to Macragge. After all, you never allowed it."

Guilliman would never allow the deployment of Iron Men on Macragge.

"He must have come to Macragge with the drop pods. Have you sealed off the drop pods?"

"I immediately ordered Auguston to recover all the airborne pods, and the current recovery progress is... 367."

367, that means there are still 33 airborne pods that have not been recovered.

Luo Xi thought of Fat Tiger Auguston. Although this guy was unreliable in many aspects and even did things like stealing Pollax's orbital defense plan, as a field commander of Macragge, Auguston was absolutely excellent.

With all forces mobilized, the investigation is a very quick process.

The Primarch quickly read the reports from various landing points across the city. His brain linked all the information and clues together to form a meticulous train of thought.

All the Dark Angels in the drop chamber were given the order of the Lion King. They must obey the instructions of the Extreme Warriors and must not resist.

But soon Guilliman received the unfortunate news that when the Ultramarines of the 34th Company were checking a drop chamber, they found only more than 18 liters of blood and a pile of corpses cut into horrific pieces.

There is no doubt that Midnight Haunter had been here and brutally slaughtered the entire drop bay's worth of Emperor warriors.

However, the real-time reporting of the Ultramarines of the 34th Company was soon terminated, and in less than two minutes all the Astartes lost their response.

These were Ultramarines equipped with adamantium armor. Midnight Haunter was not able to kill all of them. Except for three warriors whose helmet visors were pierced and whose brains were crushed, the others were just knocked unconscious by the heavy blows.

Facing the Midnight Haunters in a complex geographical environment and without forming a battle formation, these Ultramarines are just more durable puppets than the Dark Angels. The Midnight Haunters need to spend more time and effort to break through the defense of the adamantium armor and kill them.

But although they saved their lives, the team still failed to hold back Night Haunter. After finding it difficult to pry open the thick-skinned adamantine cans, the damned madman disappeared into the city. Macragge temporary command post.

Guilliman, Roche, and Lion sat around a round table.

The lion said nothing, like a soulless sculpture, but he listened carefully to Guilliman's handling of the Dark Angels.

"I sent those warriors to the detention center. I respected the choice of some who were unwilling to hand in their weapons. I believe this was an accident. A full 4,000 Dark Angels were ready to go while you and I were talking. Ryan, you did a great job."

"Are you planning to immediately have the Indomitable Truth abandon those forbidden weapons in your custody if the situation gets bad? Is that right?"

"I know that you have kept many relics from the Dark Age of Technology for your father. The power of those things is indeed worth keeping well, but is this how you keep them? Do you want to harm me?"

Guilliman said this while looking at his brother's face to see if Lion would show any embarrassment again.

He had never been so sarcastic to anyone before; this was a style he learned from Luo Xi, and now he felt that this art of language was indeed useful.

Sarcasm is indeed more polite and effective than naked humiliation and insults.

At least, when he said well done, Ryan's expression changed for a moment.

"If we were in the same boat, you would do the same." The lion king raised his head and responded.

"Lord Ryan, we have issued a notice to the whole city, declaring that this is a joint exercise between the Dark Angels and the Ultramarines. No one needs to panic. Are we being righteous enough?" Luo Xi added that he deleted the information uploaded to the mind space by the private thinker as soon as possible.

Those rumors that spread panic were ruthlessly suppressed by Luo Xi before they could even get out, making it completely impossible for those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble to do so.

In front of the intelligent computer's sub-body, Macragge's thinking space is transparent, and those with ulterior motives cannot escape the intelligent computer's surveillance.

The lion remained silent. He didn't want to argue anymore. His pride didn't allow him to do so.

If it was wrong, it was wrong. Ryan was not going to deny it. He was just thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Midnight Haunter escaped from the cage of the Indomitable Truth, and now any place in Macragge could be his hiding place, which is a qualitative difference in difficulty.

"We have imposed martial law on the entire city. All Ultramarines and Mortal Auxiliary Forces have been dispatched. Everyone has installed alarm devices that will sound the alarm and accurately locate Conrad the moment they encounter him."

Guilliman's decision would inevitably lead to the death of some soldiers. Facing the Night Haunter, the mortal auxiliary troops would have no chance of survival.

However, their deaths would reveal the location of the Night Haunter, and all forces would be mobilized to capture Conrad.

This is brutal, but effective, as otherwise the Space Marines alone would have been unable to cover the entire city.

"Give him to me, I will cut off his head myself, I will." Ryan stroked his lion sword with his right hand, his tone sonorous.

"Of course, you need to take responsibility for your mistake." Guilliman did not reject Lion. "Don't expect me to clean up your mess. This is your fault."

He was very rational. If he fought alone, he was not sure he could stop the Midnight Haunter. And if Ryan was included, if they still could not subdue Conrad in a two-on-one situation, then the two of them might as well just sit and wait to die.

It is impossible that two against one cannot win!
The Iron Man summoned by Roche has quietly entered Guilliman's inner palace and is hidden in the hydroponic garden. As soon as Conrad shows up, the Super Thinking Iron Man will descend on the battlefield and let the cunning Midnight Ghost try what a physical iron fist is.
