This is our Warhammer journey

Chapter 476 The Imperial Code is Good!
As the Primarch, revered as the son of God by countless empires and humans.

Without a doubt, Guilliman is at the pinnacle of humanity, both in terms of physical strength and intelligence.

He browsed through the database that Dawnwing had made completely public to him. Although the super artificial intelligence 'Preserver,' which everyone called the Machine Soul, always made Guilliman want to complain, it was undeniable that with the help of AI, it was sketching out the current situation of the various star regions of the Empire in an extremely exaggerated manner.

With the agreement reached between the Wings of Dawn and the Empire, five special zones were designated in the Limitless Starfield, governed by the Astartes: the Dawn Sector, the Great Alteramar, the Hades Sector, the Great Vortex Sector, and the former site of the Tau Empire. The existence of these zones has brought about comprehensive development to the entire starfield.

The resurrection of Great Ottara is a well-worn topic. Many details, such as the unification of religious doctrines and the gradual shift of interpretation authority from individual bishops to Karna, have led to a significant improvement in everything from the overall output of each planet to the living standards of every citizen of the empire.

What made Guilliman chuckle was that Dawnwing even copied a lot of homework that belonged to Macragge from 10,000 years ago.

The Misty Starfield, the Solar Starfield, and the Primarch reached an agreement to establish a support system that directly connects the Limit Starfield to the Misty Starfield.

During the Mechanicus rebellion launched by Peturabo and the subsequent Iron Curtain invasion, the Dawn Wings completed the integration of most of the Mechanicus forces in the Misty Starfield. They essentially disarmed the independent forces of large forging worlds such as Agrippina, Ras Star, and Lucius, and gradually transformed most of the Mechanicus members on that planet from multi-skilled individuals into single-skilled individuals focused on production and research.

They recaptured a series of directly controlled planets, including Vigilant Star, and began to expand their influence over chapters such as Space Wolves, Black Templars, and Iron Hands, further consolidating their gains and forcing the Chaos faction to seek breakthroughs in other regions, thus protecting Cardia, a vital lifeline for the Empire of Man that could not be shaken.

The situation in these two star systems is relatively stable now. They have the hammer and see everyone as a nail. The humans in these systems are truly lions patrolling their own territories.

The actual situation in the remaining three star regions is rather disastrous.

The Pacific Starfield is the exclusive domain of the High Lords. Even though the effects of the Macarius Expedition and the subsequent War of the Successors have not yet subsided, it does not diminish the High Lords' emphasis on this region.

Since ancient times, the Storm Starfield has been teeming with rebels and aliens, and hidden shipping lanes are everywhere. As the dominant position of the Sun Starfield has gradually declined, it has become even more turbulent. Even prosperous commercial planets like Krieg openly declared rebellion, and the Empire had little energy to deal with it. It was entirely up to the locals to take it back. Not to mention other regions, the Raven Guard alone was truly unable to hold on.

As for the solar galaxy.

The High Lord is forever loyal.

The High Lord is incompetent.

Guilliman was unsure whether his changes to human political systems were appropriate.

Would the addition of Astartes have yielded better results in the battle against the beasts?
Would the War of the Successors, with Astartes involved, cause an even greater catastrophe?
But time has proven the bloated nature of the High Lords' Council system and the limits of what mortals can achieve when faced with such a system.

While the Dawnwings were busy developing their own Dawn Sector and putting out fires everywhere, the chaos they were dealing with on Terra caused by millennia-old hidden dangers ultimately became the greatest asset to the Dawnwings' operations.

Everyone has flaws, even the original body has flaws.

Even emperors.

Guilliman has never denied this, and those rebellious underlings back then certainly criticized him a lot.

As for the Emperor, the entire Great Rebellion was too complex for him to comment on since he wasn't in the Emperor's position. However, he believed he was qualified to criticize the Emperor's handling of the Primarchs and Astartes.

An empire ruled entirely by mortals, without relying on AI?
Guilliman picked up his pen and began to write.

"The Empire has proven one thing through its own wasted millennia of neglect, and even if this statement is too harsh for everyone still contributing to the Empire, there is no doubt—"

He was the first to write in the preface.

"From a physiological point of view, given the various factors that restrict the scientific and technological system, the basic qualities of the human race are insufficient to be the rulers of the galaxy."

"The vast majority of our race cannot even tolerate the pressure of governing a planet, or even a continent. They are constantly forced into inefficiency, bickering, and meaningless waste. Although everyone is under unimaginable pressure and everyone is doing their best to contribute to the empire, this state of operation only causes each part to decay, dragging another link into stagnation, leading to the increasingly inefficient operation of civilization, or even stagnation."

"Therefore, in my view, humanity can no longer exclude genetically modified superhumans such as the Imperial Guard and Astartes in the process of governance. In today's galaxy, humanity needs a completely new and more efficient way to manage its vast civilization."

"This will be a completely new system, perfect, rational, and superior, making each individual a cog in the vast human civilization, with ample room for maneuver so that the fatigue, pain, or absence of any individual cannot affect the operation of the entire system."

The sound of pen nib scraping against expensive paper began to echo in the room, blending into a fine, rustling sound as the Primarch's thoughts became increasingly clear.

Hill, who had just finished a series of handover tasks and was looking exhausted as she arrived at the Primarch's private room to stand guard, saw the pages of the book that were visibly piling up as Guilliman wrote and drew. Her tired face instantly turned into horror.

Guilliman is undoubtedly a tactical mastermind. He possesses a terrifyingly strong calculation ability, even among Primarchs. In addition, under the guidance of his parents, he actively integrates into a human civilization and has a real understanding of all levels. Therefore, he likes and is able to arrange everything in a comprehensive and meticulous manner.

Moreover, he is good at reflection, a trait that is evident in many aspects of the history of Ultramarines.

上至基里曼20：3完胜科拉克斯，下至大远征时期的索萨战役，极限战士199连以一千人与进攻的午夜领主军团打出了1：20的神奇战损比。

"This still requires the supervision and control of the original substance."

With that in mind, Guilliman added a sentence to the reserved ending.

Such a broad statement was something he had never chosen to add before, and even in his internal sacred texts he emphasized his authority as the Primarch.

This is not Guilliman's arrogance.

In the past, he truly couldn't trust those brothers.

The Primarchs of the past, not to mention those who have already rebelled, even the loyalists, apart from Fernus and Dorne, were all problem children.

After the Great Rebellion, Dorne was completely destroyed. Phenus was reduced to nothing but a head, Corax became withdrawn, and the Lion King was unfathomable, so we won't comment on him yet.
Are the Wolf King and the Khan really reliable figures?

But the situation is different now.

"Adapting to local conditions, the Primitive's long lifespan, unwavering spirit, and powerful strength and authority ensure that it can continue to lead the resolution of problems that arise over time."

The thought of spending his life with the Wings of Dawn forming the Human Empire, even just governing it, made Guilliman happy.

Although the power that Dawn Wings relied on was somewhat pushing the limits from Guilliman's perspective, the group made up for this by using these powers effectively.

The military forces currently directly controlled by the Dawn Wings mainly consist of:
The Astartes forces, which serve as the core of the tactics, are mainly composed of high-quality personnel, automated equipment, Titan legions, and a command center.

As the cornerstone of tactics, there are the mortal auxiliary forces, mainly composed of large-scale mechanized forces, and the Astral Army.

As the strategic core, the Imperial Navy fleet is directly controlled and led by the Primarch.

And a series of special forces, including the Grey Knights, the Silent Sisters, the Assassin's Court, and the Inquisition, deployed according to different battlefield environments.

Compared to the Legion era ten thousand years ago, Astartes' use of psionic energy and AI has far surpassed that of the past. Within the Blood Angels and Ultramarines, they have respectively deployed Dreadnoughts manipulated by the souls of their ancestors and controlled by technical sergeants, capable of being activated by AI when necessary.

The technological path in the real universe was driven by the Dark Angels in conjunction with the Forging Worlds under their control, while the technology path in the warp was personally overseen by Ramses, who united members of multiple races to advance it and formed a considerable joint force.

Meanwhile, within Ramses's experimental psionic forces, experimental demonic engines, experimental psionic titans, and a large amount of Eldar technology are being applied locally and data is being collected.

The more advanced technologies that have passed testing, but which the Dawnwings chose not to popularize because they did not trust the intelligence of the Empire's humans, are controlled by the Dark Angels and used when necessary. At the same time, the Dark Angels are also a force that operates almost entirely independently of warp forces, serving as a military force guarantee for the Dawnwings in extreme situations.

Whether one is aware of what they are doing or is deceiving themselves is a completely different matter, which is why Guilliman could barely accept the strange aspects of Dawnwing.

Although the art style of Ramses alone makes it difficult to distinguish which side is the rebels, it's not immediately clear.

Perhaps Horus was right in everything he claimed during his rebellion, but he never imagined that it was his rebellion that led to all of this.

Then, considering that Dawnwing even had a super AI to assist in governance on Dawnstar, what could Guilliman say? He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Sigh, it's only because the environment has deteriorated to the point that even emperors are placed on statues now. If it were 10,000 years ago, if they dared to do this, they would definitely be sitting at the same table as the second and eleventh princes.

Having shaken off these distracting thoughts, Guilliman continued writing furiously.

Under Hill's increasingly desperate gaze, the towering edifice of texts grew thicker and thicker with time. He had to reach out and begin helping Lord Guilliman organize the papers to prevent them from collapsing under the ever-increasing weight, watching as they filled the vast majority of his field of vision.

squeak~
After an unknown amount of time, Romulus and Arthur pushed open the door.

As regent and commander-in-chief, they still have many matters to discuss during this initial period of adjustment.

As for the others, they were all busy with their own things. Corax and Ramses were looking at the warp, Karna was using his face to recharge himself, and Ryan was commanding his troops in battle, while also mentoring the inexperienced newcomers.

Guilliman, as the Lord of Alteramar, is entrusted with important responsibilities by the Emperor, and at least for now, he has to play two roles.

As soon as Romulus stepped inside, he was startled by the towering stacks of writing before him.

"."

Romulus glanced at the height of the documents, looked at Guilliman who was almost buried in them, and sighed inwardly, thinking he was a weightlifting champion who wished he could give Guilliman all of the two stars and three domains. Romulus then smiled.

"come in."

He waved, and behind him followed an invincible team of guards carrying heavy documents on trolleys.

These are all original documents, detailing the appointments and deployments within the planet.

Even though Dawnwing now has three mechanical gods and can rely entirely on the 'Thinker' to safely transmit information, the existence of paper documents is still quite necessary.

"Keep it."

De la Cruz looked at Hill, who had become haggard after only one day apart, and patted him on the shoulder.

There will be endless hardships to come.

He knew perfectly well that the Dawnwings had no intention of giving Lord Guilliman any opportunity to fight on the front lines; they practically wanted to keep him glued to his desk 24/7. He figured all the Primarch Guards would probably end up like him, becoming part of the secretariat.

"."

Hill led a team, struggling to organize military documents.

On the other side, Sevius, who had been appointed leader of the Guilliman Guard, appeared rather indifferent.

Having fought his entire life, he cherished this moment, a moment free from life-or-death separations and bloodshed.

He could even choose to live that kind of life.

"brother."

Noticing the slight movement inside the house, Guilliman glanced at the time, quickly stood up, and waved to Romulus and Arthur.

"Come and see this."

He pulled an appendix from the pile of books and handed it to him.

"This is?"

Arthur silently took it and began to examine it. Romulus then asked a question.

"This is the Imperial Code I have compiled. The structure is complete, but we still need to collect data for further refinement."

Guilliman replied, while explaining his own ideas to the other party.

“I have learned a profound lesson from the Astartes Codex and believe that the Primarch’s influence should not be limited to military power, but should encompass everything. This is my initial idea, which is to further reform the Imperial Constitution, legislative body, executive body, and military power, and to ensure the Primarch’s initiative, so as to achieve the overall improvement of human society.”

He proudly shared his ideas with his brothers.

"?"

Romulus asked a question mark.

The sense of crisis seems to have found its direction.

Robert Guilliman destroyed nine Astartes legions with a single holy book, achieving a feat that even Horus could not match.

If he were to create an imperial code, what would happen?

To actually attempt to regulate the entire empire by undermining its underlying logic? Are you the emperor or the one on the throne? I thought it was outrageous enough that I raised the tithe on the lords' directly controlled territories.

That's really ambitious.

Guilliman noticed the change in Romulus's expression and was slightly puzzled.

In the blink of an eye, Romulus shook off the bunch of jokes in his mind and picked up the document to examine it carefully.

This is the life experience of a super genius! Let me copy it first, and then we can slap the High Lord a few times together.

Okay, the joke in my head was just a joke. It would be strange not to study Guilliman's stuff. A lot of his reference books were copied from the Bible format. He was just a bit more shameless than Guilliman and left more room for error.

While Guilliman's bizarre actions are indeed questionable, this certainly doesn't apply to his administrative abilities. The Astartes Scripture became toilet paper simply because someone had been lying in bed for ten thousand years.

Thinking about this, Romulus suddenly remembered where his sense of crisis came from.

No, you can write the holy book, but if you're going to write it, you have to keep writing it.

Romulus had no intention of cleaning up Guilliman's mess any further.

He sent Arthur a private message, and a 'conspiracy' was brewing in an instant.

pat~
The contingency plan was placed back on the table, and the crisp click sound caught Guilliman's attention.

He looked at Arthur, wondering if his brother had any objections.

"I'm not a professional on most of these issues, so I won't offer my opinion. I only have one question—"

With no dark angels around, Arthur didn't need to put on airs. He quickly found his attitude, adopted a humble and eager-to-learn stance, and simply asked.

Can you guarantee updates?

really!

The anticipated power struggles and ambitious attacks on this action did not occur.

Faced with the brothers' humble attitude, Guilliman immediately smiled from the bottom of his heart.

he said confidently.

"of course."
