This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 277 Leave your brains and get out of here

Karna eventually managed to leave.

They left their brains behind.

Anyway, his next task was to liaise with the state religion, and then, together with the Holy Blood Angels, nuns from various religious orders, and civil servants from the Dawn Star Sector, he began to conduct a genetic survey of the population of each hive city.

All he needs to do is stand there, like a mind controller, to draw the attention of all mortals and then provide maximum convenience for the activities of various military units.

Anyway, those poor people will notice nothing but the food in their hands and the angels in their eyes at that time.

It has proven effective time and again.

With his mental capacity suddenly doubling and his vision becoming clearer again, Romulus straightened his spirits.

Ramses's psychic link technology, derived from the 'Lingling' office system, is truly remarkable. It can maximize the transfer of unused brains to those who are actually capable of utilizing them.

If Astartes hadn't been so poor at thinking and easily overwhelmed, Romulus could have easily defeated the Invincible Iron Guard.

'Once we bring back those Primarchs who don't want to work, we'll have them all come and be the wet parts.'

As Romulus analyzed the current situation of the Eye of Fear's defensive perimeter, he thought viciously, while his pen swept across the document submitted by the Star Speaker, which contained information from the Eye of Fear's Astartes Grand Guard.

The Vigilant Star is very close to the Eye of Fear, almost contiguous with the Cardian Sector, and also within the patrol circle of the Astartes Grand Guard.

The Grand Chapter of Astartes, also known as the Guardians of the Cardinals, consists of twenty Space Marines stationed around the Eye of Terror defensive perimeter. Currently, eighteen chapters are still fulfilling their duties.

Of the two groups that disappeared, one was completely wiped out, and the other surrendered to the enemy.

It turned out that only one branch had defected.

To be honest, Romulus was quite puzzled.

This may be because the proportion of secondary army formations in these battle groups is relatively high.

However, this number is very unlucky. After the supply line is built in the Dawn Sector, the number of the Governor's Legion will be reduced to thirteen, with each legion consisting of 2,600 men.

Romulus made a decision in his mind and began to verify its feasibility. Based on his past interactions with these chapters, he selected which chapters were more suitable for the expansion mission and created a regional simulation plan in Karna's mind. Then he picked up another document.

The document in his hand was submitted by the White Regents, a subgroup of the Ultramarines, detailing recent deployment changes and developments in the Cadian Sector.

This battle group is very interesting.

It has two battle commanders.

One is Themar Zedias, who is in charge of the defense of the Chapter's homeworld of Sabatini. He will command a standing force, ready to deal with any chaos invasions from the Gates of Cadian.

One was Titus Valens, who was in charge of the regiment's military operations in more distant theaters of war.

Moreover, the forces of their respective battle groups are very similar, and with multiple consecutive eyewitness reports from distant locations, it's hard not to suspect that this battle group might have two more companies or something similar.

At the same time, the White Archon also directly controls the sovereignty of several nearby star systems. Before any Company Commander who is a prospective Chapter Commander is promoted to a higher position, the Chapter will send him to oversee the administration of each world.

In this process, these officials would also train and command local civilian troops and supply the warbands for combat.

At the same time, they also facilitated the affairs of various Imperial departments in the surrounding area, maintaining close relationships not only with other Cardian Guards, but also with various Imperial departments, including the Gothic Sector Navy and the Agrippina Forge World.

Look at him, Huron!
Look at how others do it, and then look at yourself!
In short, because of its distance from Alterama, this long-established sub-corps, which originated from the Second Army, has never taken the Holy Scriptures too seriously, and its style is more Roman, with a more normal attitude towards the Empire.

It suited Romulus's taste perfectly.

So after the situation in the Dawn Sector officially stabilized, Romulus also sent an invitation to this chapter to establish a monastery on Dawnstar. The White Archons responded enthusiastically; in fact, it could be said that before Romulus sent the invitation, their Chapter Commander Valens, who was in charge of operations in remote sectors, was already on his way.

The relationship between the two sides gradually became closer and their ties became stronger through the popularization of the original Space Marine surgery and the trade of various advanced equipment.

The White Consul, who excels both internally and externally and enjoys exceptionally smooth development, as well as good relations with various imperial departments in the surrounding areas, is also an important source of information for the Dawn Sector to analyze the situation in Kadian.

The main reported anomalies included a large influx of Mechanicus fleets into Cadian and the construction of forging cities on various planets to increase their influence.

This made Romulus frown instinctively.

To be honest, before discovering the anomaly of Dalowa, Romulus would naturally have been happy about the way the Mechanicus was forced to start working and strengthen the local forces with their arrival.

But things are very different now.

Romulus continued to peruse the White Consul's report on the Chaos activities.

Over the past decade, chaotic activity has become increasingly frequent, to the point that even the Mechanicus Pioneer fleet, led by Incaladion, has been unable to withstand it and has been involved in operations against the chaos.

That's what they say to outsiders.

In short, from the perspective of an allied force, there was nothing wrong with the actions of these pioneer fleets.

But what about from the perspective of an enemy?
Romulus squinted as he analyzed the activity areas of the various Mechanicus fleets in the report.

This will be an encirclement.

It can sever the connection between Cardia and its surrounding areas in the first instance, and isolate the various Cardian Guardian homeworlds.

"It's fatal."

Romulus rubbed his temples.

Fortunately, they don't just act on a whim; they have a fairly good grasp of information about the target area.

Looks like I'll have to stay on Vigilance Star a little longer.

After responding with the order to 'regroup the mobile forces, strengthen the homeworld's defenses, and conduct the investigation while ensuring our own military preparedness,' Romulus picked up another report, which was the project Arthur had recently been in charge of investigating.

The investigation into the Volian Sandstorm Vortex on the surface of Vigilant Planet.

The Volian Sandstorm Vortex is located in the southeastern desert of this world.

Since the first colonization of Vigilant Planet, the vortex of the Volian sandstorm, resembling Jupiter's Great Red Spot, has never ceased for a moment.

As its name suggests, it is a persistent and violent sandstorm that has existed since the first colonization of Vigilant Planet. Its scale is astonishing, even larger than many small hive cities. The sandstorm is powerful enough to lift tanks and giant transport vehicles into the air, and the flying sand and stones can easily tear the flesh and blood of the living.

Some people have even used high-powered light spears to strike storms directly; in the center of a storm, even light spears are distorted.

However, this massive sandstorm is not a natural phenomenon, but a legacy from humanity's distant past.

Unknown to the current empire, at the heart of this destructive storm lies a fortress known as the Watchtower, which houses a doomsday weapon from the dark ages of technology, a device called the "Void Claw."

It can artificially create gravitational singularities powerful enough to distort the continuity of spacetime, and when used at its highest power, it can easily cause galaxy-scale astronomical catastrophes.

Even when it is powered off, it still causes persistent and dangerous sandstorms.
