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

Chapter 210: Deal with the Dark Angels
In his earlier collaboration with the Mechanicus, Roche had conducted a detailed investigation of the other head of the Imperial Double-Headed Eagle, and he came to an interesting conclusion.

The relationship between the Mechanicus and the Empire is very delicate. On the one hand, it provides almost all the industrial power support for the Great Crusade. The Forge Worlds scattered across the vast galaxy are the gears of all material production. These engine oilers are a necessary condition for the Emperor of Mankind to launch the Great Crusade.

But at the same time, this organization, which is equal to the Empire in status, is seriously contrary to the Imperial Truth. They openly and ostentatiously worship the God of All Machines and Om Messiah, and perform rituals and doctrines that have nothing to do with the Imperial Truth.

If Luo Xi was the human emperor, he would definitely make full plans for a backup plan for such an elusive person who might stab him in the back at any time.

However, in fact, Roche once found a piece of information called the Ikaros Emergency Protocol from the vast amount of data and documents. This agreement from the Emperor authorized the Dark Angels to keep many relic technologies from the Dark Technology Age, becoming the technological backup after the Mechanicus.

Secondly, if the two heads of the Empire split, the First Legion will take the initiative and disintegrate the forces of the Mechanicus with the most swift means.

"The impact caused by Conrad has subsided, Roboute, how long are you going to detain my flagship?"

The two Primarchs negotiated on how to awaken Vulkan through psychic means. Lion was unusually patient and asked several questions in a roundabout way.

But Guilliman seemed not to understand until Lion made it clear. Then he slapped his head and acted as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I'm sorry, my brother. I forgot that your Indomitable Truth is still under our observation. Look at my poor memory."

"Thank you for your cooperation. Your fleet can leave the surveillance range at any time."

Lion swallowed deeply. With Guilliman's brain being more powerful than the Thinker's supercomputer, how could he forget that the Indomitable Truth was still in that damn Hera space dock?

The great Lord of the First Legion was no fool. He knew very well that with only the Dark Angels squadron around him, it would be impossible for him to fight against the Ultramarines at the base camp.

Outrageous power armor, war vehicles everywhere, and warships that were launched into the water like dumplings. They even armed a fucking planet. Ryan didn't believe that there was only one such planet. The thing that the universe lacked the least was planets.

Even if Guilliman installed planetary engines on all the planets in a star system and piled them on Terra's face, he would not be surprised at all. Even if these celestial bodies just accelerated to full speed and hit Terra like a cannonball, it would be enough to destroy Terra.

What's more, there are more and more things about the Extreme Warriors that are difficult for him to see through, and all this is definitely related to the mysterious man named Roche.

It was he who pushed the Ultramarines to become stronger. Lion felt in his heart that if Guilliman really launched a new round of rebellion, the Empire might really breathe its last.

Therefore, I must stay in Macragge to supervise and check this ambitious guy.

Just because Guilliman hasn't betrayed me now doesn't mean he won't betray me in the future, and my existence is to ensure that he won't have any evil thoughts.

Roche and two other Primarchs left the secret base on the Thunderhawk gunship, while Vulkan, who was blocked by the stasis field, was temporarily left here.

Doro and Grod, the leader of the Ever-Victorious Army, accompanied Guilliman, while on Llane's side were still Houguin and Redros.

Everyone landed on the orbital platform, where they would wait for Hera Dock to release the Indomitable Truth.

"Master Ryan, I have a deal I want to discuss with you."

Luo Xi moved closer to the Dark Angels and shouted to Ryan who was guarded by two great mentors.

The lion's steps did not stop. He just glanced to the side and then spoke the word "said" very sparingly.

"I hope to be able to enter your relic technology warehouse. I am very interested in the relics inherited from the dark technological age."

Luo Xi did not beat around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts.

He knew that Ryan was a person who hated false feelings, testing, and using deceptive words. It was simply a daydream to want to deceive the Lion King's intuition.

Ryan stopped suddenly and waved his hand. The two great mentors immediately stopped outside.

"What are you talking about? Mortal, your stupidity astonishes me."

The Lion King's words were very harsh, but Luo Xi's expression remained unchanged. He had never expected how well Ryan would communicate.

On the contrary, if Ryan was really easy to talk to, he would have to be careful whether the lion king was planning something bad.

"The Dark Angels are the Emperor's watchmen in the lightless abyss. We have fought in the darkness for countless years under the Emperor's command. We have cleared the frozen moons wherever we go, liberated those human pocket empires that lingered in the darkness, and collected countless dangerous and terrifying relics and technologies."

"This is the responsibility and unspoken honor bestowed upon us by the Emperor. We are willing to protect everything, even if no one knows. Only we know the horror of the era before the Old Night, and we carefully use these terrible weapons to fight against the monsters in the dark galaxy."

As if he was both angry and amused, Ryan continued, "Who do you think you are? A remnant of the golden age? My brother's mortal advisor who is just a joke? What qualifications do you have for me to open the door of the secret vault for you?"

The Lion's tone was filled with relentless contempt for mortals, which was not surprising. In fact, most Primarchs treated mortals in this way. Even the more approachable Ultramarines were only polite and businesslike. The only one who truly treated mortals as equals was the still-mad son of the Fire Dragon Lord.

"Yes, the relics in your secret vault are extremely dangerous. Once out of control, they may cause irreversible effects, but I am not asking you for them." Luo Xi explained, "The lost technology is the treasure of human civilization. We once created them, but we also lost them. They are scattered throughout the galaxy."

"Lion King, you have to admit that you are only using them, and the technology and knowledge they contain are not something that your army alone can fully understand. They are part of a system, and only by returning to the system can they play their greatest role."

"You can't, but I can. I need to use them to complete the incomplete technology tree. We will regain the lost technology."

Ryan was a little surprised. He thought Luo Xi just wanted to take those powerful relics in order to gain more powerful military force.

This mortal holds a pivotal position in his brother's small empire, and has ambitions of his own, just as ambitious as Guilliman himself.

"You don't even need to pay anything. I just want the knowledge and technology. When I have mastered it thoroughly, the Dark Angels will gain the right to share with the Ultramarines."

Luo Xi threw out a sweet date, and his words hit a sensitive spot in Ryan.

The secret vault of the Dark Angel is indeed very terrifying, but most of the items are unique and cannot be replicated.

Even the First Legion's technological strength is unable to replicate them. Many times, after using a forbidden method to punish the enemy, the Dark Angels will lose this technological creation forever.

Those things created in the dark technological age are consumables that disappear as soon as one is used.

"Why should I believe you? A mortal." Ryan asked back.

Luo Xi was delighted. He was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that Ryan would not react at all.

"You can use my cooperation with the Ultramarines as a reference. At least for now, we are completely mutually beneficial. With my support, the Ultramarines defeated the traitors and won the Shadow Crusade counterattack."

"As for you, the Dark Angels, the First Legion, your strength is now only one tenth of what it was before. You also need support."

"I will provide you with a highly maneuverable Thundercloud planetary battleship, a sufficiently powerful planetary void fortress, and repair all of your battleships including your flagship."

Every time Luo Xi spoke, the bracelet on his wrist would project a corresponding holographic projection.

He could hear Ryan's breathing becoming more and more rapid, and the Caliban man was eager to get the supply of these powers.

"And Lord Lion, you must be aware that your flagship, the Indomitable Truth, is currently in my Hera Space Dock. I am negotiating with you out of respect for you."

Luo Xi's tone became much tougher. He had already sensed Ryan's hesitation.

If you give a sweet date, you must naturally use a big stick to support it.

"It's not that I don't have the ability to force my way into the secret vault on the Indomitable Truth. In fact, it's not difficult at all."

Ryan really didn't like being threatened, especially by a mortal, but he knew that what Luo Xi said was right.

After the Salamas expedition, the Dark Angels, who were operating separately from the Legion, no longer had the power to do whatever they wanted.

If it were the former Ryan, the first thing he would do is to disarm Roche, then imprison him in the Shadow Prison of the Indomitable Truth, and then slowly extract those precious relic technologies.

This is what the First Legion did when it broke through those pocket empires.

The deeds of the First Legion are unknown to the world, but in the darkness, they destroy many enemies of the Imperium.

His lion eyes stared into Roxi's, his dark pupils casting an icy gaze that left no doubt about the dangerousness of this Caliban man.

After a long time, Ryan made his choice.

"I agree that you can enter the secret vault of the Indomitable Truth, but you must report all your actions to me in full, and you are not allowed to touch anything that is too dangerous."

"That's the bottom line."

Luo Xi smiled. This was a good start.
