This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 210 Ambitious!

"That is the original body!"

Huron looked up at the knight who sat high on the throne, his resolute face revealing undisguised respect and pride.

At this moment, the other party had already explained the main points of the first phase of the meeting to the representatives of the battle group in detail. He was looking down and silently observing something. Now was the time for the representatives to discuss it privately.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a Primarch."

Tokira, the Chapter Master of Emperor's Scythe, lowered his voice and sighed:

"That makes five more in a row."

Huron watched Calgar's retreating figure and couldn't help but smile: "Except for the Ultramarines, this is the first time for everyone."

The Maelstrom is extremely far from Macragge, and if it weren't for this war against the Zerg hive, the Maelstrom's guardian duties wouldn't have allowed him to come to Macragge specifically to meet Guilliman.

Only extreme warriors can have this honor.

But he firmly believes that he will have many more such opportunities in the long years of fighting ahead.

"The Tochira Brothers".

A burning fire ignited within him, and Huron couldn't help but ask Tokira:
"After the meeting concludes, we, as representatives, will return to the Maelstrom. The Highlord has dispatched a Tauren Chapter to oversee the area and invited multiple parties to jointly defend it. The chosen location is the Kalis Sector. Are you interested?"

As the first experimental site for the "Limit-Misty Starfield Collaborative Assistance Project," the Great Vortex has attracted considerable attention from the Empire due to its unique geographical location and Huron's criminal record as its leader.

Romulus has prepared a supporting industrial construction plan, which includes not only the production of weapons and equipment for the MK10, but also military equipment for the Astronautical Army.

As a mortal auxiliary force privately established by Huron, the 'Tyrant Legion' will also face dismantling, losing its ability to defend the Imperial star system, and will be reorganized into a training institution.

The Maelstrom region has a complex environment, with frequent threats from orcs and chaos. The quality of the various planetary defense forces and the Imperial Guard is uneven, making it impossible to establish a reliable defense system.

Huron's repeated requests for reinforcements from the Empire were not without reason; he had seen the weakness of these troops, but Terra's inaction further enraged him.

With the Dawnwings and the Highlords now officially allied, Romulus naturally wouldn't allow an ambitious man like Huron to seize power.

In the Vortex region, worlds unable to form Imperial Guards and Planetary Defense Forces that meet the standards of the Star Claw will only need to provide personnel and basic planetary resources under the new policy.

Training, equipment, and military deployments will all be handled by the Great Vortex Military Commission.

The high lords were naturally willing to accept such changes, as this improved the quality of their troops and reduced their workload.

Moreover, after careful analysis, the delegates also believed that the vortex's geographical location at the galactic center, as well as its numerous shipping routes, were sufficient to assume a more important responsibility.

The damage caused by the Tyranid hive invasion is still fresh in the minds of the Highlords, who must also consider whether these aliens from beyond the river will break into the Solar System from other regions.

They also have a desire to develop the vortex region into a powerful, multifaceted defense system capable of continuously exporting resources.

None of the above was initially in the High Lords' considerations; it was only because the existence of the Primarch forced them to focus their attention on this 'ordinary' region of space.

They had to conduct analyses to ensure that their time was not wasted by extricating themselves from countless government affairs marked 'important,' 'urgent,' or 'top secret,' which would take until the next century to finish.

However, decentralization means that this power is in the hands of local authorities, which means that local rebellions can cause even greater damage.

Therefore, the composition of the Military Council is self-evident. Apart from the Vortex Guardians, the Military Affairs Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Dawn Wings, and the Ultramarines as the parent organization will all be involved in its management.

The High Lords dispatched the Triple Tauren Warband as oversight, and other factions naturally reacted as well.

The wrangling over interests has continued for some time, and all parties hope for a relatively satisfactory outcome in the future. Huron, in this still unsettled state, has undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary of this negotiation.

He was originally the leader of the Great Vortex Guardians and controlled the largest military force in the Great Vortex Starfield.

Now, he will become the true leader of the Great Vortex Sector, nominally governing all affairs of the sector on behalf of the Empire. His relationship with the High Overlord Council has improved, and the Dawnwings are optimistic about his operational capabilities.

Although the Primarch's attitude also carried a degree of distrust towards the rebels, Huron was quite indifferent.

As long as the Claws of the Stars can reach new heights under his leadership, as long as his name, Huron, can be remembered for eternity, and as long as he can create those enviable achievements, then he doesn't care.

This stage is now large enough to accommodate his ambitions.

Anyway, he looks down on mortals, and there's nothing wrong with political infighting being handled by Primarchs and Ultramarines.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Sosa still needs our protection, and as members of the Great Otlama defense system, we also bear important responsibilities and cannot afford any oversights." "There's no need to send a company to be stationed here; a representative will suffice."

Huron smiled.

"I won't take your favors for nothing. The future focus of the Great Vortex is the development of the military industry, and I can facilitate those equipment trades."

Sosa is a third of a galaxy away from the Great Vortex, and I'm right here in Alteramar.

Tochira looked embarrassed; he knew what Huron was planning to do here.

They're trying to bolster their reputation by gathering 108 heroes.

“I know that Altramar is much richer. You can save it if you don’t need it. The Maelstrom is located in the center of the galaxy, so it’s convenient for anyone to come here. Not everyone is Guilliman’s son. The difference in resources controlled by the chapters is an objective fact.”

Huron's main targets are the warbands from the Second Founding of the Army. With very few exceptions, these warbands have a rich history and considerable strength.

“The share can be reserved in advance, so that when the plan is finalized on the other side, you can provide support based on your own judgment.”

Space Marines have long lifespans, and even a single aid mission, lasting decades or even centuries, is part of the history experienced by many members of a Chapter.

So, through this back and forth, relationships and connections are gradually built up, aren't they?
"alright."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Tokira couldn't help but nod.

As the son of a farmer, his thinking was quite simple: if there was any surplus grain, there was nothing wrong with helping his other brothers.

"It's mechanical teaching."

The conversation was briefly glossed over, and Tokira frowned slightly as she looked at the documents.

"Is the Empire and the Primarchs planning to build their own empires by bypassing the Cult of Mechanics?"

All of these plans involved Dawnwing providing the motherships and the plans themselves, while the Empire provided personnel and oversight, with both sides jointly providing military support.

The Imperial Navy, though abstract, is intimidating enough.

"Ah."

Huron nodded, a sense of satisfaction flashing through his mind at the decision.

He had been thoroughly disgusted by the Mechanical Cult in the Great Vortex before.

"Many factions within the Empire have long been unhappy with the Mechanicus, but this kind of wrangling is not something we can get involved in."

It's understandable that the Cult of Mechanics is unhappy, but the Vortex mainly supplies basic equipment to the Astartes and the Astronautical Army, and hasn't touched the Cult of Mechanics' core interests yet. Some Forgeworlds will definitely be upset, but the rest is up to the High Lords and Primarchs to handle.

Then he whispered to Tochira:

"Moreover, I have a feeling that the Primarch will definitely free us from the control of the Mechanicus first."

In Huron's view, what's so special about his petty scheming and using favors to achieve his personal goals?

The Primarchs are here to do something truly ambitious and transformative.

'Where did you find this level of emotional intelligence when you were arguing with the Empire?'

Arthur, who was studying the Icarus Protocol and the series of 30k combat records against the Mechanicus submitted by Steelwing, couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his heart. He then looked up and glanced at the Astartes present.

His gaze lingered on Huron for a moment before settling on the entire Ultramarines group.

It's no wonder they make up 70% of the Space Marine population.

The other subgroup representatives were in twos and threes, while Shark, a descendant of the Dark Ravens, was even alone.

Only the Ultramarines, behind Calgar, sat nearly forty representatives from their respective subgroups.

It can only be said that, from any perspective, Guilliman was an ambitious figure in the eyes of all the various forces in the Empire.

And he has already achieved his goal of 'satisfying his desire for power'.
