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

Chapter 346: The Primarchs Gather

"So was it you or Rogal Dorn who killed Alpharius in the end?" In the command center of the Phalanx, Roche asked curiously beside Ryan.

As the battle between the Primarchs came to a conclusion, all the rebels on the Hydra satellite fortress were wiped out.

After the Legion Apothecary recovered the gene-seed of the Fists of the Fallen Empires and the Alpha Legion, the promethium flamethrower burned all the evil.

The leader of the Husar guards, who was sent by Rogal Dorn to Pluto to investigate the situation, was pulled back from the hands of death by the Dark Angels' pharmacist when he was on the verge of death. He was seriously injured, and Alpharius's stab shattered his second heart with incredible precision.

Fortunately, after further training in Macragge, the Dark Angels' pharmacists have acquired many more methods of treating injuries. Injuries as simple as a broken heart are well within their control.

As for Alpharius' body, Lion ordered the Dark Angels to retrieve and store it. Although the other party's sins could not be forgiven, the Lion did not want to insult the remains of a brother.

Listening to Luo Xi's question, Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking about how to answer the question.

"Of course it was me. I was the one who killed Alpharius. Ryan only played a small role in it."

A cold and hard voice sounded. Rogdorn's short silver-white hair, like steel needles, was extremely eye-catching. His face was as angular as a perfect statue in ancient Greece, and his pair of extremely firm eyes looked straight at everyone.

Through Dorn's eyes, one can directly see his open heart. Rogal Dorn never hides himself, and his thoughts and ideas are directly laid out in the open.

Roche's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Ryan Jonson was well-known for being soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. Dorne's disrespectful words would inevitably anger this petty Caliban man.

Sure enough, as he expected, Ryan's face froze, and anger was almost visibly hovering above his head, but the Lion King took a few deep breaths and actually suppressed his emotions.

"Rogge is right, that's true."

Ryan's abnormal behavior made Luo Xi even more puzzled, while Ryan was muttering to himself.

"No one would be stupid enough to get angry with Rogal Dorn. He is always like this, always upright, always honest and upright. It is even harder to make Dorn lie or be more tactful than to kill him."

After going through so many hardships, Ryan's character changed quietly. When he heard Dorn's blunt words, he felt fortunate instead.

Fortunately, this stubborn stone of the empire still adhered to his duties, and in the absence of other brothers, he stubbornly withstood the siege of the traitors.

At this moment, in the command center of the Phalanx, gathered all the Primarchs, including the host Rogal Dorn, Lion's Jonson of the Dark Angels, and Sanguinius of the Blood Angels.

In addition, according to Dorn, Wolf King Leman Russ, who is currently in Terra, and Jagatai Khan of the White Scars are also on their way.

Leaving aside Konrad who is still on the Laurel of Victory, five loyal Primarchs will soon gather here.

This was a glorious moment. Most of the loyalists' forces had been gathered together. The defense of the solar system had received a gratifying increase after the arrival of reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds. Even Dorn's brows, which were as criss-crossed as trenches, had relaxed a little.

Steward Terra now has more cards in his hand and is no longer as short of them as before.

"Brothers, I don't know how much you paid to rush to Terra for support, but I want to express my sincere gratitude to you. The enemy cannot surpass us and reach the Emperor only because of our existence."

Dorn was rarely sentimental, but his attitude only lasted for a few seconds, and then the tenderness flowed away from his face like melted snow.

Then, the Chief Guard walked towards Luo Xi, stretched out his broad palm, and solemnly shook Luo Xi's hand.

"I learned most of the things from Ryan. He said that it was your efforts that allowed the reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds to arrive in time."

"Many thanks."

Roche nodded. Although Rogal Dorn's words were not as flashy and elegant as Guilliman's, they were straightforward and frank.

When Rogal Dorn thanked you, it was pure gratitude, without even the slightest hint of ambiguity or probing. Aside from being easily angered by Dorn's words, getting along with the Primarch was quite harmonious.

"Oh, I have another question." Roshi said, his eyes turned to the Alpha within the fire range of the Phalanx, "That is, what Alpharis said at the end that he was not a rebel, but loyal in an unknown place, is this true or false?"

Roche learned from Lion the words that Alpharius kept repeating at the last moment. In fact, the Lion King himself was also very confused. After they killed the Primarch of the 20th Legion, the Alpha Legion warships surrounded by the Phalanx and Thundercloud-class planetary battleships chose to surrender.

A surrendered army, this was unbelievable to everyone.

Even the rebels who defected to Chaos would never surrender to their opponents or enemies. The Astartes were not afraid of death and would rather die on the charge than kneel to the enemy.

However, the Alpha Legion was so unreasonable, especially when the Alpha lowered its void shield and extinguished its engine and weapon array, all this bizarreness became a reality.

If you shut down your engine on the battlefield, it will probably take more than ten hours or even several days to restart it even if you try your best. The reason why the Extreme Marines suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of Calth was because a large number of warships chose to shut down their engines in the airport for repairs and supplies.

"I don't know." Dawn was very frank, with no intention of covering up or explaining himself.

"Alpharius has planned hundreds, even thousands, of infiltration attacks and assassinations in the solar system. This time, he surrounded and destroyed our listening station. I cannot trust such an existence to be loyal."

"I don't know what he is doing, but from my position and duty, it is absolutely necessary for me to kill Alpha."

Although Roche really felt that perhaps this Primarch with an ambiguous position might really be loyal to some extent, it was a pity that Rogal Dorn never changed.

Even if there is a wall in front of him, he will bite the bullet and break it down.

It would be best if Alpharius was actually a traitor, otherwise he would be a Primarch who was killed by his own people because he was hiding too deeply.

Roxi hates Riddler the most, and Alpharius is obviously the typical Riddler, but who knows if committing suicide is another plan of Alpharius?

As for the surrendered Alpha Legion, Dorn stripped all the Alpha Space Marines of their power armor and detained them in a secret prison somewhere on Terra for interrogation.

With Rogdorn's personal permission, Roche could move freely on the Phalanx. As long as he did not enter the secret places sealed by the Imperial Fists, he had the right of access to most places.

This is also a small reward from the Terra Steward to Roxi for helping the Five Hundred Worlds support Terra, but Roxi decided to postpone this privilege temporarily.

He had something more important that he wanted to accomplish immediately, and that was to meet the Emperor.

Luo Xi has too many questions that need answers. It seems that from the moment he woke up to all the events he encountered later, the Lord of Humanity was secretly manipulating them.

The advice of the Word Bearer Hermit and the image of the so-called future Emperor that Conrad saw in him all indicated that the Lord of Mankind had actually been watching him silently and invisibly.

Luo Xi has even borrowed the power of the Emperor several times to complete his plans. He always carries the Book of Lowell with him, but he is afraid that it will not be useful when needed.

When Roche presented his ideas and demands to Rogal Dorn, the Lord Chief of the Guards hesitated, which was extremely rare.

He couldn't give a definite answer.

"Roche, I don't know if the Emperor can see you, because of your close relationship with Lion, Sanguinius, and Guilliman. Because of your loyalty, I can reveal some things to you."

Rogal Dorn said earnestly.

"When the webway beneath the Terran Palace was damaged, the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne to suppress the power from the Warp. It is not up to me to decide whether he can see you."
