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

Chapter 352 Terra Defense Meeting (Request for Subscription)

As the Emperor's appointed chief steward of the Solar System Guard, Rogal Dorn stood up from the main seat, his bright golden armor gleaming under the lighting that simulated natural sunlight.

Dorn's frowned brows and eyes relaxed slightly, and his nerves, which had been tense since the war began, relaxed for a moment.

"Everyone, today is a great day. When our empire was besieged by traitors, the reinforcements from the Ultramarine finally arrived in the solar system after much hardship and successfully joined us in the Pluto Universe."

"The traitors have done their best to disperse our forces, but now they are finally united. This is the turning point of the war."

Dorn explained the current situation to Chagatai, Leman Russ and others who were unaware of the situation. The encounter that broke out on Pluto has been kept secret until now, and even Chagatai and Leman Russ were not aware of it yet.

"Alpharius, one of the traitor Primarchs, secretly infiltrated Pluto's defenses and attempted to destroy and infiltrate our Hydra satellite fortress, which is the information data transfer station for the entire solar system and plays an extremely important role for us."

"Of course, with the help of the reinforcements from the Ultramarine, we successfully killed the traitor Alpharius and resolved the crisis on Pluto. This is a victory we can boast about."

Upon hearing the news, Chagatai and Leman Russ had different expressions on their faces.

Luo Xi's observations were very careful. After all, most of the information he knew about the original body came from archival records and personnel's memories, and its reference value was far less than what he saw with his own eyes now.

Alpharius was dead, and the expressions of the two Primarchs revealed the joy of exterminating the rebels, but also a bit of conflicted sadness.

No matter what, they were their blood brothers. Alpharius was the last Primarch to return, and according to the convention among the Primarchs, he was their youngest brother.

"When he joined the traitors, he should have been mentally prepared for this day to come."

"A lamb that strays from the flock will eventually be swallowed up by ice and snow."

Chagatai Khan said that he quickly got rid of his negative emotions. The Chogoris have sensitive and delicate emotions, but they will not be bound by these emotions, just as the free eagle will not be sad for aging and death.

Death is so common to the Chogorians that they simply see it as a new beginning.

On the contrary, the sadness on the face of Wolf King Leman Russ, who looked carefree and seemed to care about nothing, lasted the longest.

Russ rested his head on his elbows, his face buried in his armor, and no longer made eye contact with his other Primarch brothers.

Roche knew that after Russ caused the Burning of Prospero, they were besieged and defeated by the Alpha Legion fleet during their evacuation and had to retreat to the Araxes Nebula.

The White Scars Legion, which was closest at the time, received a call for help from the Space Wolves, but because Jagatai Khan expressed distrust of both sides of the rebellion, he left with his fleet after leaving behind a Fenris proverb "See you in winter".

If it weren't for the rescue of a Dark Angels detachment, Leman Russ and the remnants of the Space Wolves would probably have been lost in the encirclement of the Alpha Legion.

Whether from the perspective of position or personal grudge, Leman Russ and Alpharius are opposites who are as entangled as fire and water. It is just unexpected that among the many Primarchs present, only Leman Russ expressed the deepest sadness.

All of this fell into Luo Xi's eyes, and a flash of enlightenment came into his mind.

Faffnir has always claimed that the Space Wolves are the Emperor's executioner and the Empire's executioner, but the Wolf King does not seem to be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say. Compared with Lion's Jonson, he can even be described as more humane.

Deep in the hearts of the Fenrisians lies a fiery brotherhood, and the degree to which Leman Russ values ​​his brothers far exceeds the imagination of most people.

"It seems that the Wolf King has a close relationship with the Imperial Chancellor. Leman Russ's every move is obviously a reaction to Malcador's attitude. On the other hand, although the other Primarchs have superficial respect for Malcador, there is still an indelible contempt in their hearts." Malcador represents the power of the mortals of the Empire, which is slightly different from the position of the genetic Primarchs. The Primarchs also generally do not like the Sigillite beside the Lord of Mankind.

Luo Xi carefully recorded the information he observed in his mind. Regarding the Primarch and the Prime Minister, sometimes the subtle and inconspicuous information is the most important.

Dawn continued.

"Everyone, we gather here for the survival of the human empire and for the Lord of Mankind."

"We have only one goal, which is to defend the solar system and protect the Emperor who sits on the Golden Throne. When the time is right, we will launch a strategic counterattack and completely put out the rebellion that Horus, the Great Rebellion, has set the galaxy ablaze."

"My persistence in the past has paid off. Now we have enough strength and confidence to face the rebels head-on."

Dorn boosted morale with his strong and unyielding voice. Even if people were just listening to his speech, the confusion and anxiety in their hearts would be relieved a lot.

The sound of the Imperial Fist was so powerful that an indestructible steel line of defense seemed to appear before Luo Xi's eyes.

"Before the Emperor ascended the Golden Throne, he entrusted me with the task of guarding the Solar System and appointed me as the Grand Steward of the Solar System. I was responsible for coordinating all defense matters."

"But now the situation has changed. Our strength has been greatly enhanced. In addition to me, Jaghatai and Russ returned to defend Terra some time ago, and Sanguinius and Lion have just arrived at the throne world. We have five loyal primarch brothers united together."

Apart from Guilliman, who was organizing military forces in the Five Hundred Worlds and waiting for an opportunity to inflict severe damage on the traitors from the rear, Corax, who briefly returned to Terra in 007.M31 and then left, and Vulkan, who was taken away from Macragge by Captain Zaro the Salamander, the loyal Primarchs had gathered on Terra.

"I think the situation has changed, and I have to change with the times. Therefore, I have invited the seal holder to convey our father's will to us."

Dorn finally revealed the purpose of the Sigillite's visit. Malcador, who was busy with many things, would never come to the Phalanx for some trivial matters. At most, he would send his own representatives to attend the meeting.

"That is true," Malcador said.

"Your father, my lord, is currently trapped on the Golden Throne. The breach in the Webway blasted by Magnus is continuously flooding in the evil forces of the High Heaven. He has no way to leave, because that would cause Terra to become a new Eye of Terror."

At the place where Malcador was extracted, many Primarchs were suddenly excited. Some of them had ferocious expressions on their faces, wanting to immediately go to the Emperor to support their father, while others had grim expressions. The Primarchs' brains easily calculated that if the Emperor really needed them, then he would definitely surrender his will.

Everyone knew that the Emperor was only trapped in his physical form on the Golden Throne, but even so, the Lord of Mankind still had complete control over the entire solar system.

That incredible psychic power seemed to have surpassed the limits of human beings, because even Malcador admitted that if he were to ascend the Golden Throne, he would not be able to hold on for more than a few minutes.

Even a powerful psychic like Malcador, who could change the flow of time with a wave of his hand or transfer a planet to a pocket dimension, could only hold out for a few minutes longer against the Golden Throne.

All psykers can actually be divided into two categories: Emperor and others.

"And I have communicated with the Lord of Humanity, and he has re-planned and arranged your mission based on the current situation."

"And below, I will speak on behalf of the Emperor, using the authority He has given me to convey His will."
